This river drains a large number of lakes and small streams in north, central and eastern Maine and, after assuming definite character as a stream, flows about 100 miles in a southerly direction through the middle of the State, discharging into Penob- scot Bay, about 90 miles northeast of Portland, Maine. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 311.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 11, 1870, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1899, and July 11, 1947. For further details of previous projects, see page 1732 of Annual Report for 1915, page 48 of Annual Report for 1938, and page 31 of Annual Report for 1949. Existing project. This provides for dredging to a depth of 22 feet between Winterport and Bucksport, about 16 miles below Bangor; for straightening, widening, and deepening to 15 feet the channel near Stearns Mill and near Crosbys Narrows from 3 to 4.5 miles below Bangor; and for deepening the harbor at Bangor to 14 feet and widening it along the Bangor front, giving an additional width of from 100 to 300 feet for a length of about 2,000 feet. The project depths refer to mean low water which is 3 feet above extreme low tide. The mean range of tide at Bangor is 13.1 feet, and the extreme about 15 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 3 The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $292,020, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $19,844. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents July 5, 1884 Widening the channel at Bangor and Crosby's S. Ex.

Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. The river front of Bangor has 12 wharves, most of which are of the timber-crib stone-ballasted type. Exten- sive improvements and alterations have been completed at all the oil terminals to handle increased receipts of petroleum products. Eleven of the wharves have physical connection with a railroad. On the east side of the river at Brewer, opposite Bangor, there is one water terminal, a coal handling plant having mechanical ap- pliances and three petroleum products storage plants. The re- mainder of the terminals on the east side of the river are in poor condition. At South Brewer there is a large pulp and paper plant which has water connections, oil pumping and storage facilities. There are a number of private wharves open to the public at moderate charges. At Bucksport on the north side of the river there are three important terminals, one a coal handling plant and two used by a large paper manufacturing plant which has terminal facilities for the receipt and storage of oil products and pulpwood. The terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing needs. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: U.S. Government hopper dredge Hyde was employed at Penobscot River. Work was initiated early in August and completed late in August. During the period of operation approximately 74,160 cubic yards of pay yardage place measure (credited) ordinary material were removed from the Frankfort Flats and Lawrence Cove areas. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $66,153, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1913. The controlling depths at mean low water were about 14 feet from Bucksport to Winterport (1937) ; channel opposite Lawrence Cove about 19.5 feet (1959) ; channel at Frank- fort Flats 20.4 feet (1959) ; thence 15 feet to Stearns Mill; thence 14 feet to Bangor, except for a shoal area in Bangor Harbor on the Brewer side, where the least depth is 4.6 feet (1937). Total Federal costs for the existing project from regular funds amounted to $488,142, of which $292,020 was for new work, and $196,122 was for maintenance. 4 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CAMDEN HARBOR, MAINE Location. This harbor is on the westerly side of Penobscot Bay, about 8 miles north of Rockland, Maine. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 321.) Previous project. The original project was adopted by the act of March 3, 1873. For further details see page 30 of Annual Re- port for 1931. Existing project. This provides for a channel 14 feet deep in the outer harbor and 10 feet 'deep in the main and upper portion of the harbor. The project depths refer to mean low water. The mean tidal range is 9.6 feet and the extreme range 11.6 feet. The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $72,400, exclusive of amount expended under previous project. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $15,129. The existing project was authorized by the following river and harbor acts: August 11, 1888, provided for dredging at the en- trance to 12 feet, for dredging the main portion of the harbor to 10 feet, and for small channels in the upper portion to 5 feet; the act of June 13, 1902 provided for dredging an area in the vicinity of the steamboat wharf, in the outer harbor, to 14 feet; and the act of June 25, 1910 provided for dredging an area in the upper part of the harbor to 10 feet. The latest published map is in House Document 1117, 60th Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. There are eight wharves on the inner harbor, six of which are used for handling general supplies, one for pleasure craft and one is equipped with a marine railway used for building and repairing boats. There is one wharf on the outer harbor. The facilities are considered adequate for the ac- tivities of the harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: dredging, by contract, to remove shoals in the 10-foot inner har- bor was initiated and completed in April 1960. During the period of operation approximately 27,860 cubic yards of ordinary ma- terial were removed. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $75,646, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1911. The controlling depths at mean low water were 10.0 feet in the outer harbor (1960), and 10.0 feet in the 10-foot RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION inner harbor (1960). Total Federal costs for the existing project from regular funds amounted to $179,121, of which $72,400 was for new work, and $106,721 was for maintenance.

ROCKLAND HARBOR, MAINE Location. This harbor is on the westerly side of Penobscot Bay, near its mouth, and about 80 miles northeast of Portland by water. It is a natural indentation of the coastline, about 10,000 feet in one direction and about 7,000 feet in the other. Protection from the east is afforded by a breakwater extending from the northerly shore about half-way across the entrance. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 320.) Previous project. Adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of June 3, 1896. For further details of previous project see page 27 of Annual Report for 1906. Existing project. This provides for construction and mainte- nance of a breakwater 4,346 feet long extending southerly from Jameson Point, which was completed under the previous project, dredging a short approach channel, and 3 branch channels, each with a turning basin, extending from deep water along about 1.5 miles of the central and northern waterfront to depths of 18 feet below mean low water in the outer portion and 14 feet below mean low water in the inner portion and to widths of 150 feet and 100 feet, and a channel 18 feet deep at mean low water and 100 feet wide from deep water to the vicinity of the fishing fleet marine base in the southern part of the harbor. The mean tidal range is 9.7 feet; the extreme is 11 feet. The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $1,948,446, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The quantity and area of ledge removal has been decreased and a portion remaining where ledge was to be removed in the 14-foot channel is considered to be inactive, and is excluded from the foregoing cost of new work. The estimate for this portion was last revised in 1960 and was estimated at $310,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: The act of June 14, 1880, provided for the break- water; act of June 29, 1956 provided for dredging of the 14-foot and 18-foot channels and ledge removal (S. Doc. 82, 84th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the latter document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Under terms of the project authorization local interests are required to provide and 6 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 maintain, at local expense, adequate public terminal and transfer facilities, estimated at a cost of $225,000, and open to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities. About 15,000 feet of the total water front- age of the harbor has been developed, and over 20 wharves are in active use at the present time. Wharf construction varies from timber cribs filled with stones or earth, to granite faced fills with wooden-pile additions. Seven of the wharves have depths ranging from 10 to 15 feet; 8 have depths ranging from 5 to 9 feet; 4 have depths ranging from 1 to 4 feet; and the remainder are dry at low water. The Rockland Port District has constructed a public pier and terminal at the entrance to Lermond Cove. Shipping using this terminal includes ferry boats and supply ships servicing the Penobscot Bay islands. City of Rockland has provided a public landing with floats attached, having depths at mean low water of about 6 feet along- side. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For a further description of terminal facilities, see S. Doc. 82, 84th Cong., 1st sess.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Im- provement dredging, by contract, was in progress at the begin- ning of the fiscal year. Dredging in the ledge rock area of the 14-foot channel for the removal and disposal of material over- lying rock and all other material other than ledge rock to a depth of 14 feet below mean low water was substantially completed in June 1959. By supplemental agreement approximately 150 cubic yards of material overlying rock, other than ledge, were removed; and the project was fully completed on July 13, 1959. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $29,489, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in July 1959. The breakwater was completed in 1904. Construction of the 14- and 18-foot channels and turning basins was initiated in April 1957, and was completed in February 1958, except for shoal removal which was completed in July 1959. The controlling depths at mean low water were as follows: 18 feet in 18-foot approach channel (1958) ; 14 feet in 14-foot short branch channel, north side of central waterfront with exception of 11 feet over rock area along southerly limit (1958) ; 14 feet in 14- foot revised branch channel north side of central waterfront (1958); 13 feet in 14-foot channel along northern waterfront (1959); 14 feet in 14-foot approach channel to Lermonds Cove, except for 12 feet over rock area along the northerly limit (1958) ; 14 feet in Lermonds Cove except 6 feet and 10 feet over rock areas in the southeast corner and the northwest corner respec- tively (1958) ; 18 feet in the 18-foot channel along the south side of the central waterfront except 16 feet over the rock areas at the upstream end of the channel (1958) ; 14 feet in the 14-foot channel along the south side of the central waterfront (1958). The total Federal costs from regular funds under the existing project amount to $1,948,446, all for new work.

SCARBORO RIVER, MAINE BETWEEN PROUTS NECK AND PINE POINT Location. This river, about 21/2 miles long, is a small and generally shallow stream which rises in the town of Scarboro, Maine, and empties into the north end of Saco Bay, immediately west of Prouts Neck. It is 17 miles by water southeast of Port- land, Maine. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 231 and 1205.) Existing project. This provides for a channel across the bar 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep at mean low water, and a channel 2,400 feet long, 100 feet wide and 6 feet deep at mean low water, leading to an anchorage of the same depth 1,350 feet long and 300 feet wide, and a jetty 800 feet long at the tip of Pine Point. The mean range of tide is 8.8 feet and the spring range is 10.1 feet. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work is $333,000 (July 1960). The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, and the Chief of Engineers March 8, 1960. The latest published map is contained in the project document (H. Doc. 69, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total costs for all requirements of local cooperation under the terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $10,000. Terminal facilities. There is one wharf of pile and timber construction on Scarboro River, extending northerly from Pine Point almost to the southerly limit of anchorage. The facility is owned by the Town of Scarboro and is considered adequate for the present requirements of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering studies were completed for additional work required to reduce shoaling. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $740, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The dredging of an entrance channel and inner harbor basin was completed in October 1956. The channel across the bar has shoaled and shifted, controlling depths in the best channel now available being +0.1 foot. Be- cause of the excessive shoaling rate, the project design has been modified under authority delegated to the Chief of Engineers, to include construction of a jetty at the harbor entrance. Comple- tion of the project requires construction of this jetty. The con- trolling depths at mean low water were +0.1 foot across the 8 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 bar, 0.3 foot in the 6-foot channel and 0.9 foot in the anchorage (1959). The total Federal costs under the existing project from regular funds have been $216,378, all for new work. In addition, the sum of $10,000 from contributed funds was expended for new work.

JOSIAS RIVER, MAINE Location. This is a small river running through Flat Pond to Perkins Cove, which is the harbor for Ogunquit, a village on the coast of Maine 30 miles southwest of Portland. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1205.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide in the Josias River from that depth in Perkins Cove to and including an anchorage basin of the same depth and about 3.2 acres in area in Flat Pond; and an extension to the Flat Pond anchorage over an area of 1 acre at a depth of 5 feet. The project depths refer to mean low water. The mean range of tide is 8.7 feet and the spring range is 10 feet. The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $114,755. The existing proj- ect was authorized by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 227, 76th Cong., 1st sess.) and July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 377, 85th Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is con- tained in the project document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total actual costs for requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $26,584 for non-Federal cash contribu- tion. In addition, local interests have expended $35,000 on the completed project. Terminal facilities. There are four wharves in the harbor, all owned by the Ogunquit Village Corporation and open to. the public free of charge. Three of these wharves are located in Flat Pond and one in Josias River between Flat Pond and Perkins Cove. The village corporation has also erected a pile-and-timber bulk- head backed with earthfill, on the northerly shore of the river. The easterly end of this bulkhead is about 300 feet below the footbridge from which point it extends about 490 feet along the northerly bank of the river into Flat Pond. A marine railway capable of handling boats up to 50 feet in length is located im- mediately east of the bulkhead. One of the town wharves is RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 9 located just below the footbridge. It consists of a float, 20 feet long by 8 feet wide, connected to the bulkhead by means of a movable ramp. The next wharf upstream located about 100 feet above the bridge, is a 30-foot long by 8-foot wide platform project- ing from the bulkhead. Three landing floats, 8 feet wide by 30 feet long, are placed in tandem just above this wharf and a 1-ton electric hoist is located on the wharf itself. Facilities for servicing boats with fuel and water have been placed on this wharf. In Flat Pond, about 300 feet above the bridge on the northerly shore there is an open pile and timber wharf 10 feet wide and 30 feet long. About 40 feet above this latter wharf there is another pile and timber wharf. This wharf is about 8 feet wide and 20 feet long. It has no mechanical handling facilities and its dock is dry at mean low water. Craft in the anchorage are moored extremely compactly, both bow and stern, being moored to anchor chains stretched across the harbor bottom. The Ogunquit Village Corporation maintains all moorings, the marine railway, storage space, roads, bulkheads, docks and the bridge, and pays for breaking ice in the harbor during the winter. All terminal facilities and moorings are open to all on an equal basis. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Dredging, by contract, an additional anchorage area about one acre to a depth of 5 feet in extension to the existing 5-foot Flat Pond anchorage basin was initiated in November 1959 and completed in March 1960. During the period of operations approximately 26,082 cubic yards of ordinary material and 3,762 cubic yards of ledge rock and boulders were removed. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $76,628, all for new work. In addition, contributed funds in the amount of $26,584 were expended during the fiscal year from contributed funds for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in March 1960. A channel 5 feet deep and 40 feet wide in the Josias River from that depth in Perkins Cove to and including an anchorage basin of the same depth and about 3.2 acres in area in Flat Pond was completed in 1951. An additional anchorage area about one acre to a depth of 5 feet in extension to the existing 5-foot Flat Pond anchorage basin was initiated in No- vember 1959 and completed in March 1960. The controlling depth at mean low water is 3.7 feet from Perkins Cove to the basin area, and generally 5.0 feet in the anchorage basin, with the exception of 4.2 feet in small shoaled area (1960). The total Federal costs for the existing project from regular funds have been $114,755, all for new work. In addition, non-Federal con- tributed funds in the amount of $26,584 have been expended for new work. 10 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SALEM HARBOR, MASS. Location. This harbor is located on the north shore of Massa- chusetts Bay, about 12 miles by water, generally north of the entrance to Boston Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Charts Nos. 240 and 1207.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1873, and extended by the River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890. For further details see page 1741 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. The project provides for a channel 32 feet deep and generally 300 feet wide, widened to 400 feet at bends and at the inner end, extending about 1.5 miles from deep water in the outer harbor to a point about 1,500 feet from the Salem Terminal Wharf, where it joins the locally dredged approach channel of the same depth leading to the wharf. The project also provides for a channel 10 feet deep in South River, 300 feet wide at the 10-foot depth in the harbor, gradually narrowing to 200 feet at a point opposite the outer end of Derby Wharf, thence 150 feet wide to the bend at the outer end of Derby Wharf, thence 90 feet wide to the turn near the inner end of Derby Wharf, and thence 50 feet wide to the upstream end of Pickering Wharf, for a branch channel on the east side of Derby Wharf, 8 feet deep, 100 feet wide, and about 700 feet long, widening into a basin of the same depth, 500 feet long and 200 feet wide. The project depths refer to mean low water. The mean range of tide is 9 feet and the extreme range is 12.7 feet. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost of new work is $1,413,000 (July 1960), exclusive of amounts expended on previ- ous projects. The portion of the project for dredging of an 8-foot channel, an 8-foot basin, and a 10-foot channel is considered to be inactive, and is excluded from the foregoing costs. The Fed- RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 11 eral cost of this portion of the project was last revised in 1955 and was estimated to be $177,000. The existing project was authorized by the following River and Harbor Acts: March 3, 1905 (H. Doc. 303, 58th Cong., 2d sess.) ; July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 701, 76th Cong., 3d sess.) ; and July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 31, 85th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except for the inactive portion of the project. Total estimated costs to local interests for requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $420,000 (1960), for construction and maintenance of a terminal approach channel and maneuvering and berthing areas, all having depths equivalent to that of the Federal project, and for removal of abandoned sewer line. In addition, local expenditures in connection with port development directly related to deep-draft shipping have amounted to $836,000, including $65,000 expended for dredging in 1931 in fulfillment of requirements of local cooperation. Terminal facilities. The extensively developed waterfront of Salem Harbor, which includes South River, is a little more than 1 mile in extent and is owned for the most part by private in- dividuals. There are nine wharves in this area; the largest, Salem Terminal, serves New England Power Co. generating station and serves as principal terminal for receipt and distribution of coal and petroleum products in Salem and the tributary area, two belong to the National Park Service, and one of these is being used by the Department of the Navy for a Reserve Training Center. There are nine other wharves in Salem Harbor which are located outside of the extensively developed area. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Im- provement dredging of ordinary material, by contract, in the outer harbor for construction of the 32-foot channel was in progress at the beginning of the fiscal year and completed in November 1959. During the period of operation 747,477 cubic yards of ordinary material, and 360 linear feet of pipe were removed, making a total of 1,055,930 cubic yards of ordinary material, and 360 linear feet of pipe removed under the con- tract. Planning for rock removal in the 32-foot channel was completed. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $832,158, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is ap- proximately 93 percent complete. The 10-foot channel has been partly dredged, the section to a point opposite Derby Wharf Light having been dredged in 1906. This same section was restored to project depth in 1915. Dredging of ordinary material in the 32- foot channel was initiated in May 1959 and completed in Novem- ber 1959. To complete the project there remains the removal of rock from the 32-foot channel. The controlling depths are as follows: 32 feet in the 32-foot channel (1960) ; 0.0 to 1.0 foot in the 8-foot channel and basin (1939) ; 7.0 feet in the 10-foot chan- nel (1950). Total Federal costs under the existing project have 12 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 been $1,081,703, from regular funds, of which $1,069,660 was for new work, and $12,043 was for maintenance.

In accordance with the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, the project for Connecti- cut River below Hartford was modified to include the project for Eightmile River, which was eliminated as a separate project. The aforementioned act also provided for an anchorage basin 6 feet deep and about 6.5 acres in area in the upper cove at Hamburg. Existing project. This provides for a channel 15 feet deep at mean low water, 300 feet wide from the mouth to the Lyme rail- road bridge, about 3.4 miles, and thence 150 feet wide to Hart- ford, a total distance of 52 miles, the channel to be obtained by dredging and the construction of dikes, training walls, revet- ments, and the accessory works; for two riprap jetties at the mouth of the river, the tops to be 5 feet above high water and 6 feet wide, the easterly one about 2,300 feet and the westerly about 2,750 feet in length; for a training dike about 3,700 feet long at Hartford, and for anchorage 11 feet deep, about 12 acres, and one, 6 feet deep about 17 acres, in North Cove, Old Saybrook, with an entrance channel 11 feet deep and 100 feet wide; for a channel 8 feet deep, 75 feet wide about 1.5 miles in length from the Connecticut River to Hamburg; a turning basin of the same depth 150 feet wide and 300 feet long at Hamburg. The mean tidal range is 3.5 feet at the mouth, and at summer stage is about 38 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 1 foot at Hartford. The maximum tidal range at the mouth due to wind or other causes, is 8 feet or more. At Hartford the usual rise due to spring freshets is between 16 and 24 feet above mean low water. The maximum recorded freshet at Hartford (March 1936) was 35.5 feet above mean low water. Below Middletown the height of the crest of the freshet decreases rapidly. The latest approved eestimate of Federal cost for new work is $1,614,500 (July 1960) exclusive of amounts expended on previ- ous projects. The dredging of the 6-foot channel, turning basin and anchorage at Hamburg to a depth of 6 feet, about 6.5 acres in area in Eightmile River portion of the project is con- sidered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing esti- mate. The Federal cost of this portion was last revised in 1956 and was estimated to be $57,000. The average annual mainte- nance cost during the past 5 years was $123,553.

The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, authorized the 15-foot channel up to Hartford and addi- tional dikes, training walls, and revetments, subject to provision that local interests shall 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. Areas have been furnished where required and it is understood that future requirements will be met. The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the channel and anchor- ages in North Cove subject to the provisions that local interests contribute in cash $67,500, but not to exceed 50 percent of the initial construction cost and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that they will provide a suitable public landing in the cove, at an estimated cost of $13,000. It is expected that these conditions will be met. Terminal facilities. On both the Connecticut and Eightmile Rivers there are 2 or 3 wharves at each of the river towns, 1 or more in each town being open to public use. At Hartford and at Middletown there is approximately one-half of wharf frontage RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 39 along the west bank of the river. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging, by contract, to remove shoals in the 15-foot channel at various bars in Hartford was commenced in October 1959 and completed in November 1959. During the period of operation ap- proximately 140,400 cubic yards of material were removed. En- gineering studies were completed and separate contracts were awarded in June 1960 for repairs to the jetty at Saybrook and the revetments below Hartford. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $157,622, all for mainte- nance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 70 percent complete. The 15-foot channel from the mouth to Hartford was completed in 1937. The Saybrook jetties and train- ing walls at Hartford, Clay Banks, and Sears Shoal were com- pleted in 1915. The stone dikes and timber spurs at Pistol Point, Glastonbury, Press Barn, Naubuc, Cys Hollow, and Clay Banks were completed in 1927 and those at Wethersfield, in 1947. Tim- ber pile dikes at Press Barn were completed in 1940 and at Press Barn, Glastonbury (including Two Piers), and Gildersleeve Island reaches have been revetted. Repairs to the jetties at Say- brook and the revetments below Hartford were in progress on June 30, 1960. To complete the project requires the construction of additional permanent works, and dredging the channel and anchorage in North Cove, Old Saybrook, Conn. The head of com- mercial navigation is at Hartford, 52 miles by channel from the mouth. A dam at Holyoke, Mass., 34 miles above Hartford, com- pletely interrupts navigation. The controlling depths at mean low water are generally 13 feet for the midchannel width to Hart- ford (1959); 1 foot in the entrance channel to North Cove (1938) ; 7 feet in channel and basin in Eightmile River (1946) ; 1 to 6 feet in anchorage at Hamburg (1946). The total costs under the existing project from regular Federal funds have been $3,695,706, of which $861,984 was for new work, which includes $9,000 of completed new work (existing project) transferred from Eightmile project, and $2,833,722 for maintenance.

Local cooperation. The 35-foot main channel and the 22-foot channel and turning basin in Quinnipiac River were authorized subject to the conditions that local interests furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subse- quent maintenance when and as required, and hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from the improve- ment. These requirements, as applied to the 35-foot channel, have been met, and assurances have been furnished that the require- ments for the 22-foot channel and turning basin in the Quinni- piac River will be met. These assurances were approved by the Chief of Engineers on June 2, 1947. Bulkhead spoil areas for the 35-foot channel cost local interests $160,000. The estimated cost to local interests of bulkheads for the construction of the Quin- nipiac River 22-foot channel is $50,000. Terminal facilities. The port of New Haven is served by 53 waterfront facilities; 48 are located within the city limits of New Haven, and 5 in West Haven. The improved waterways within the port area along which the facilities are located include the West River, Main Harbor, West and East Branches of Mill River, and the Quinnipiac River channels. These facilities are all pri- vately owned and operated with the exception of the city wharf. Depths alongside the piers and wharves range from 35 to zero feet at mean low water. Nearly half of the facilities have rail connections either on or at the rear which connect with the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad and most all of them are accessible by paved streets. Nineteen of the wharves have mechanical-handling facilities. Six of the wharves are open to public use upon agreement with the owners. Facilities are ade- quate for existing commerce. (For further details, see Port and Terminal Facilities of Southern New England No. 4 revised in 1952.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging, by contract, in the Mill River Channel, was com- menced in January 1960 and completed in February 1960. Dur- ing the period of operations approximately 29,000 cubic yards of ordinary material were removed. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $37,522, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 80 percent complete. The controlling depths at mean low water were as follows: in the 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide entrance channel-36 feet in the middle half, 26 feet along the channel limit in the westerly quarter, and 30 feet along the channel limit in the easterly quarter (Jan. 1958); in the 35 feet deep by 400 feet wide channel---29 feet in the left outside quarter, 37 feet in the middle half and 34.7 feet in the right outside quarter (Feb. 1958) ; in the 35 feet deep by 500 feet wide channel--35.0 feet in the left outside quarter, 36.0 feet in the middle half, and 34.0 42 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

To complete the project there remains the dredging of the 22-foot Quinnipiac River Channel and turning basin. The total Federal costs for the existing project from regular funds have been $6,107,078, of which $3,528,536 was for new work, and $2,578,542 was for maintenance. National Industrial Recovery funds amounting to $290,877 and $59,207 public works funds, both for new work, have been expended on the project. The total costs under the existing project, all funds, have amounted to $6,457,162, of which $3,878,620 was for new work, and $2,578,542 was for maintenance.

HOUSATONIC RIVER, CONN. Location. Rises in northwestern Massachusetts, flows southerly 130 miles through Massachusetts and Connecticut, and empties into Long Island at Stratford, 5 miles east of Bridgeport Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 219.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 18 feet deep at mean low water and 200 feet wide from the mouth to the lower end of Culvers Bar, about 5 miles, and thence 7 feet deep and 100 feet wide to Derby and Shelton, about 8 miles; a riprap break- water at the mouth, consisting of an inner arm, 3,250 feet long, 3 feet high above mean low water, top width 6 feet, side slopes 1 on 1, and an outer arm 2,571 feet long, 6 feet high above mean high water, inner slope 1 on 1; riprap dike in the river below RIVERS AND HARBORS - --NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 43 Stratford not to exceed 1,500 feet in length; and a riprap jetty 163 feet long at Sow and Pigs Rocks. The mean tidal range, ex- clusive of the winter season and freshets, is 6.7 feet at the mouth, 5.5 feet at Stratford, and 5 feet at Shelton; the extreme range due to combined effect of wind and other causes is about 11 feet at the mouth, diminishing toward the head. The spring freshets occasionally rise to a height of 18 feet or more above summer low water, but only average about 12 feet above that datum. The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $859,691. The enlargement of the outer arm of the breakwater to provide a top width of 12 feet and an outer slope of 1 on 2, and the exten- sion of the Stratford dike not more than 245 feet long are both portions of the existing project considered to be inactive and are excluded from the foregoing cost. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954 and was estimated to be $100,000. The aver- age annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $23,378.

Terminal facilities. There are 6 wharves for commercial use at Stratford, 1 at Devon, and 8 at Shelton and Derby. The facili- ties are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredg- ing, by contract, in the 18-foot channel was commenced in April 1960, and was continued through June 13, 1960, at which time operations were suspended. During the period of operation ap- proximately 116,030 cubic yards of ordinary material were re- moved. Work was resumed late in June and was in progress at the close of the fiscal year. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $116,893, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was fully completed in September 1957, with the dredging in the vicinity of the old State of Connecticut Washington Street Highway Bridge piers. Th 18-foot channel from the mouth of the river to Culvers Bar was completel in September 1956. The upriver chan- nels were completed in 1893. The breakwater at the mouth 44 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 was completed in 1914 except that the outer arm has a top width of 8 feet and outer slope of 1 on 11/2 instead of project dimensions; the Stratford dike was completed to its present length of 1,225 feet in 1916, and the jetty at Sow and Pigs Rocks was completed in 1871. The 7-foot channel above Culvers Bar requires mainte- nance dredging to restore project dimensions. The breakwater is in good condition and the dike and jetty in fair condition. The head of navigation is at Derby and Shelton, about 14 miles by channel above the mouth. The controlling depths at mean low water-were as follows: Maintenance dredging operations still in progress at the end of the fiscal year 1960, in shoal areas in the 18-foot channel in the vicinity of the outer breakwater. From Housatonic River Light No. 1 to Washington Bridge 18 feet (1959); from Wash- ington Bridge to the lower end of Culvers Bar, 18 feet (1960); 3.0 feet in the 7-foot channel from Culvers Bar to the upstream limit of the Federal project. The total Federal costs under the existing project from regular funds have been $1,274,327, of which $859,691 was for new work and $414,636 was for mainte- nance. In addition, the sum of $222,010 from contributed funds was expended for new work.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with for the completed por- tion of the project. The terms of local cooperation pertinent to the remaining work to be performed under the existing project authorized by Public Law 85-500, 85th Congress, S. 3810, are as follows: a. Main channels: That local interests provide all necessary berth improvements at an estimated cost to local interests of $34,000, and provide suitable disposal areas for materials hy- draulically dredged from the inner channel and turning basin. b. Black Rock Harbor breakwaters: That local interests con- tribute 52 percent of the cost of the improvement, the local cash contribution now being estimated at $410,000; and provide a suitable public landing for recreational craft at an estimated cost to local interests of $11,000. c. Burr and Cedar Creek anchorage: That local interests con- tribute 52 percent of the cost of the improvement, the local cash contribution now being estimated at $345,000; provide a suitable public landing for recreational craft; and improve and maintain the shoreline adjacent to the anchorage to make it suitable for recreational use. d. Upper Johnsons River anchorage: That local interests con- tribute 45 percent of the cost of the improvement, the local cash contribution now being estimated at $35,000; and provide a suit- able public landing for recreational craft. e. Lower Johnsons River anchorage: That local interests pro- RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 47 vide a suitable public landing for recreational craft at an esti- mated cost to local interests of $11,000. The above recommended modifications are independently justi- fied and may be constructed either singly or concurrently. Adoption of all the above modifications is recommended subject to the condition that local interests provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction and subsequent maintenance, when and as re- quired, and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages resulting from improvements including such dam- age as may occur to oysterbeds. Terminal facilities. There are 35 waterfront facilities serving the port of Bridgeport, all of which are used, or in usable con- dition. Numerous handling facilities are predominant in every section of the harbor. Although more than 70 percent of the total number of docks are marginal wharf-type structures in con- stricted waterways, there are, however, several offshore wharf- and pier-type structures in the open waters of the main harbor. All of the piers, wharves, or docks are accessible by paved road- ways, but only half of them have rail connections with the rail line serving the port area. Three of the wharves are owned by the city of Bridgeport and three others may be used by the public upon agreement with the owners or operators. (For fur- ther details see Port and Terminal Facilities of Southern New England, No. 4, revised in 1952.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredg- ing by Government-owned hopper dredge Comber in the 30-foot main channel was commenced on April 12, 1960 and completed on May 3, 1960. During the period of operation approximately 347,000 cubic yards of ordinary material were removed from the channel. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular funds amounted to $125,838, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 35 per- cent complete. The east breakwater is in good condition; the west breakwater and the shore protection works on Fayerweather Island are in need of repairs. The channel in the Poquonock River requires dredging to restore project depth. To complete the proj- ect there remains deepening the main ship channel to 35 feet; dredging of a 6-foot anchorage in Black Rock Harbor, and con- struction of two breakwaters at the entrance to Black Rock Harbor; and the dredging of one 6-foot and one 9-foot anchorage in Johnsons River. The controlling depths at mean low water are as follows: 30 feet in the main channel for Long Island Sound to a point opposite the 25-foot anchorage at the entrance to John- sons River (1960); thence 24 feet to Stratford Bridge (1956); 15 feet in the Poquonock River Channel to the upstream limit of the Federal Project (1956), with the exception of a 13-foot depth through the East Washington Avenue Draw Passage (1953); 12.7 feet in Yellow Mill Channel to about 1,600 feet upstream of Stratford Avenue Bridge (1956); thence 15 feet to the head of the project (1943); 13 feet in Johnsons River to north end of channel (1957) ; 18 feet in the easterly three quarters 48 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and 15.3 feet in the westerly quarter of the Black Rock Harbor and Cedar Creek Channel; 14 feet in the East West branches (1955); about 3 feet in Burr Creek (1939); 30 feet in the 35- foot turning basin (1956) ; 21 feet in the southerly three quart- ers and 18 feet in the remaining quarter of the 25-foot anchorage basin (1953); 15 feet in the 18-foot anchorage basin (1953). The total Federal costs under the existing project from regular funds have been $3,597,221, of which $2,206,897 was for new work, and $1,390,324 was for maintenance.

Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872, June 3, 1896, and March 2, 1907. For further details see page 1757 of the Annual Report for 1915 and page 137 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep from the outer harbor to the highway bridge at South Norwalk, about 3.1 miles, 200 feet wide to Gregory (Dorlon) Point, thence 150 feet wide to South Norwalk, and 250 feet wide along the South Norwalk wharves, thence a channel 10 feet deep and generally 100 feet wide to the head of navigation about 1.5 miles; an anchorage basin 10 feet deep and about 17 acres in area opposite Fitch Point; a channel 6 feet deep from the 10-foot anchorage to East Norwalk, 125 feet wide to the bend beyond Third Street, thence 150 feet wide to the head, a total distance of 2,900 feet; and for an irregular-shaped anchorage basin of about 7 acres, 6 feet deep adjacent to the upper portion of the East Norwalk channel. All depths refer to mean low water. The mean and spring tidal ranges at South Norwalk are 7.1 and 8.4 feet, respectively. The Federal cost of new work for the com- pleted project was $368,612, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $19,784.

Terminal facilities. There are two city wharves, neither of which is in usable condition. There are 19 private wharves in use or in usable condition having a total berthing space of about 3,100 feet. One has rail connections. None of the private wharves are open to general use. The public wharves are inadequate for existing commerce. (For further details, see Port and Terminal Facilities of Southern New England, 1941.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: En- gineering studies were completed and contract awarded late in June 1960 for dredging above the plane of 10 feet below mean low water in the shoal areas in the upper channel to Norwalk and 12 feet below mean low water in the outer channel of Nor- walk Harbor. Federal costs during the fiscal year from regular maintenance funds amounted to $4,695. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1950. The controlling depths at mean low water are as follows: 12 feet in the 12-foot channels from Long Island Sound to the Washington Street Bridge (1954) ; thence 10 feet in the 10-foot channel, except in the extreme upper end where the depth is 8 feet (1956); 6 to 12 feet in the basin at Norwalk (1940); 5 feet in the 10-foot anchorage basin (1953) ; 6 feet in the 6-foot East Norwalk Channel from Fitch Point Light to the upstream limit of the Federal project (1954) ; 4 feet in the 6-foot anchorage basin East Norwalk (1954). The total Federal costs under the existing project from regular funds have been $829,403, of which $368,612 was for new work, and $460,791 was for maintenance. In addition, the sum of $34,500 was expended for new work from contributed funds.

CONNECTICUT RIVER BASIN, VT., N.H., MASS., AND CONN. Location. The works covered by this project are a series of dams and reservoirs on tributaries of the Connecticut River in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, within a radius of 230 miles from Hartford, Conn., and local protection works at several cities in the basin. Existing project. The Flood Control Act, approved June 22, 1936, as amended by the act approved May 25, 1937 (Public Law 111, 75th Cong.), authorized the construction of 10 reservoirs on tributaries of the Connecticut River in accordance with plans in House Document 412, 74th Congress, 2d session, as the same may be revised upon further investigation of the 1936 flood. The Flood Control Act, approved June 28, 1938, approved a general comprehensive plan for the control of floods and other FLOOD CONTROI---NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 89 purposes in the Connecticut River Valley, as set forth in House Document 455, 75th Congress, 2d session, and authorized the sum of $11,524,000 for construction of local flood-protection projects in the plan. The act of October 15, 1940, modified the act of June 28, 1938, to provide additional protection at East Hartford, Conn., as set forth in House Document 653, 76th Con- gress, 3d session. The act of August 18, 1941, modified the comprehensive plan approved in 1938 to include the improve- ments recommended in House Document 653, 76th Congress, 3d session, and House Document 724, 76th Congress, 3d ses- sion, with such further modifications as may be found justifiable in the discretion of the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Engineers. The latter act also authorized to be appropriated the additional sums of $6 million for local protection works and $10 million for reservoirs. The act of October 26, 1942 (Public Law 759, 77th Cong., 2d sess.), further modified the plan by including the construction of Gully Brook conduit at Hartford, Conn. The Flood Control Act, approved December 22, 1944, authorized the expenditure of $30 million in addition to the previous author- ization for the comprehensive plan approved in 1938 and modified the plan by (1) directing specific consideration of an alternative plan of the Vermont State Water Conservation Board instead of the Williamsville Reservoir in the West River Basin, Vt., (2) directing consultation with the affected States during the course of investigations and transmission of the proposal and plans to each affected State for written views and recommenda- tions for reservoir projects heretofore authorized for construction at Cambridgeport, Ludlow, South Tunbridge, and Gaysville, and resubmission of the projects or modifications thereof to the Con- gress, and (3) rescinded the authorization for construction at the Sugar Hill site. The Flood Control Act of 1950 (Public Law 516, 81st Cong., 2d sess.) modified the project for flood control at Hartford, Conn., authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, as amended, to include Folly Brook dike and conduit. The Flood Control Act of 1954 (Public Law 780, 83d Cong., 2d sess.) modified the plan for flood control in the Connecticut River Basin to provide for the construction of a reservoir on Otter Brook at South Keene, N.H., in lieu of any reservoir or reservoirs heretofore authorized. This act further modified the plan for the West River Basin of the Connecticut River in Vermont to consist of three reservoirs at the Ball Mountain, The Island, and Townshend sites, in lieu of the plan of eight reservoirs authorized in the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944. The Flood Control Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-500, July 3, 1958. 85th Cong., 2d sess.) modified the plan for flood control in the Connecticut River Basin to include the construction of the Littleville Reservoir on the Middle Branch of Westfield River, Mass. and the project for the Mad River Dam and Reservoir on the Mad River above Winsted, Conn.

FOX POINT BARRIER, NARRAGANSETT BAY, R.I. Location. The project is located on the Providence River at Fox Point, in the city of Providence, R.I. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map for Providence, R.I.). Existing project. This project provides for the construction of a concrete barrier across the Providence River and earth-dike land sections to high ground at the east and west ends. The total length of the barrier will be 3,600 feet. The concrete river section will include a pumping station, a river sluice gate struc- ture, and concrete tie walls to the dikes. The pumping station will include 5 pumps capable of discharging upstream storm flow when the river gates are closed. The river sluice gate will include three 40-foot by 28-foot tainter gates. The gate passage will be capable of discharging maximum floodflow without in- creasing flood stages in the downtown section of the city of Providence. A canal formed by a steel pile wall will be con- structed to provide continuance of cooling water to upstream powerplants. City streets passing through the dikes will be gated for closure at times of hurricane flooding. 112 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The latest approved estimate of cost for new work (July 1960) is $16,280,000 for construction and $750,000 for lands, rights of way, and relocations.

NEW BEDFORD, FAIRHAVEN, AND ACUSHNET, MASS. Location. The main harbor barrier is located across New Bed- ford and Fairhaven Harbor in the vicinity of Palmer Island. Supplemental dikes and walls are provided in the Clark Cove area of New Bedford and in Fairhaven. (See U.S. Geological Survey Maps for New Bedford North, New Bedford South, Marion, and Sconticut Neck, Mass. and U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 249, 252, and 1210). Existing project. The project provides for the construction of a 4,500-foot earthfill dike, with rock faces and toes and a top width of 20 feet. A gated opening, 150 feet wide is included in FLOOD CONTROL---NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 113 the section of the barrier between Palmer Island and the.Fair- haven mainland to accommodate navigation. Closure of the naviga- tion opening in the barrier will be accomplished by sector gates with concrete abutments and still founded on rock. Each gate will have a radius of 90 feet, a central angle of 600, and a total height of 61 feet. The gates will be opened and closed by means of a rack and pinion drive. Controls will be arranged so that the gates can be operated singly or simultaneously from either of two control houses, one on each abutment. Two gated conduits will be constructed in the section of the barrier between the New Bedford shore and Palmer Island, each consisting of two sep- arate conduits side by side, each 6 feet wide by 9 feet high. These conduits will permit emergency emptying of the pool above the barrier. A dike extension of earthfill with rock facing will run south for a distance of 3,000 feet from the western end of the harbor barrier. Closure to high ground will be effected by 1,000 feet of dike of earthfill with rock facing running westward. Protection in the Clark Cove area consists of 4,610 feet of earthfill, rock-faced dike, running 2,700 feet across the head of Clark Cove, then south along the east shore of the cove for a distance of about 2,400 feet. At the west end, closure to high ground will be accomplished by a dike constructed of earthfill with rock facing, 600 feet long and at the east end by a similar dike 100 feet long. The 3,100-foot long Fairhaven dike will be constructed of earth- fill with rock facing. The latest approved estimate of cost for new work (July 1960) is $18,650,000 for construction, $170,000 for lands right-of-way and relocations.

COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA The Division Engineer is the United States representative on the Saint John and Saint Croix River Engineering Boards. He is also United States Member on the Saint Croix River Board of Water Control. Annual inspections are made of conditions on these two rivers and a continuing program of compilation of basic hydrologic information is carried out. The Division Engineer's representatives during the past year have kept closely in touch with developments in the two basins and have cooperated with their Canadian counterparts assisting in the development of the basins' resources. Total costs for the fiscal year were $867. Total costs to June 30, 1960 have been $1,266. IMPROVEMENT OF RIVERS AND HARBORS IN THE NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT This district comprises western Vermont, small portions of western Massachusetts, Connecticut, north-central Pennsylvania, and eastern and south-central New York, including Long Island, and northeastern New Jersey, embraced in the drainage basins tributary to Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River system east thereof and to the Atlantic Ocean from New York-Connecti- cut State line to but not including, Manasquan Inlet, N.J., and the Susquehanna River basin above mile 282 south of the Pennsyl- vania-New York State line to its source. It exercises jurisdiction, however, over all matters pertaining to the improvement of the Great Lakes to Hudson River water- way. Under the direction of the Secretary of the Army, the district engineer, as Supervisor of New York Harbor, also exercises jurisdiction under the laws enacted for the preservation of the tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary water, and the waters of Long Island Sound.

This creek is a tidal stream flowing into the East River from the north at a point 14 miles by water northeast of the Battery, New York City. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 223.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910. For further details see page 238 of Annual Re- port for 1921, and page 164 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water, 100 feet wide for a length of 2,000 feet through the estuary; thence 80 feet wide for 3,000 feet; and thence 60 feet wide to the head of navigation at East Tremont Avenue (Fort Schuyler Road), a distance of 8,800 feet, with widening at bends, and with two turning basins, one near the upper end of the channel, the other near the Eastern Boulevard (Unionport) Bridge. The total length of the project is about 2.6 miles. Mean tidal range, 7 feet; mean range of spring tides, 8.4 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 3.9 feet below mean low water up to 8.4 feet above mean high water. The cost for new work for the completed project was $98,751, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $57,911. The dredging of a turning basin to a depth of 12 feet below mean low water, 250 by 250 feet in extent, 500 feet downstream from the head of navigation, is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing description and the cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1956 and was estimated to be $38,000.

Mean tidal range, 6.9 feet in the estuary; mean range of spring tides, 8.2 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 4 feet below mean low water up to 8.5 feet above mean high water. The cost for new work for the completed active portion of the project as described above was $1,080,910, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects, and exclusive of $10,000 con- tributed by local interests. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $47,284. The channel widening from Westchester Avenue to East 172d Street is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing description of the existing project and cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1953 and was estimated to cost $299,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913 (H. Doc. 897, 62d Cong., 2d sess.). For latest published map, see Annual Report for 1912, page 1470. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913, provides that any right-of-way that may be necessary for the execution of the project shall be furnished free of cost to the United States. Right-of-way within the bulkhead lines below the Westchester Avenue Bridge was accepted by the Chief of Engi- neers under date of June 9, 1920, and above the Westchester Avenue Bridge under date of October 4, 1928. Under date of September 10, 1940, the Chief of Engineers approved releases from damages furnished by adjoining property owners in the reach of the river between Westchester Avenue and East 174th Street. Under date of November 12, 1940, the Chief of Engineers approved an agreement under which the city of New York would RIVERS AND HARBORS - --NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 123 reimburse the United States for the cost of a retaining wall to protect adjoining property in the reach of the river beween Westchester Avenue and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad bridge in lieu of furnishing additional right-of-way. On October 28, 1940, the Secretary of War authorized the acceptance of $10,000 from the city of New York to defray the cost of the retaining wall. The $10,000 was deposited to the credit of the United States on December 7, 1940. Additional right-of-way required in the section below East 172d Street has not been furnished. The city of New York has indicated that it does not feel justified in acquiring any additional land along the river. Terminal facilities. There are 17 terminals with 3,600 feet of bulkheads and wharves available for dockage, located along the east and west banks from Randall Avenue to East 173d Street. One of the terminals is publicly owned. Five of the terminals are equipped with mechanical handling devices. Additional terminals with modern facilities will be needed when the existing project is developed. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to restore project depth of 10 feet in the channel from East River to Westchester Avenue, work was commenced on February 13, 1960 and completed on April 8, 1960. During the fiscal year 87,922 cubic yards, place measurements, of material were removed at a total cost of $126,260, including $5,331 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under the entire existing project is about 82 percent complete. Work under the active portion of the existing project was commenced in 1914 and com- pleted in 1941. A channel to project dimensions was completed from deep water in East River up to the Westchester Avenue Bridge in 1926. A channel 10 feet deep and 65 to 123 feet wide from Westchester Avenue Bridge to East 174th Street was com- pleted in 1941. When examined in March-April 1960, the con- trolling mean low water depth was 10 feet for full project width from East River to Westchester Avenue Bridge, thence 4 feet for a width varying from 50 to 100 feet to East 172d Street.

This provides for a channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep at mean low water from deep water in Hempstead Harbor to the head of navigation at the city of Glen Cove, a total length of about 1 mile. Mean tidal range, 7.4 feet; mean range of spring tides, 8.7 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 3.6 feet below mean low water up to 8.4 feet above mean high water. The estimated cost for completed work is $59,534, including $29,774 expended from contributed funds. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $6,644. The widening to 100 feet the upper 1,630 feet of channel and building a sand fence along the north side of channel where it crosses the beach are considered to be inactive and are excluded from the foregoing description of the existing project and the cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954 and was estimated to be $140,000, including 50 percent to be contributed by local interests. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925 (H. Doc. 207, 68th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1925, provides that local interests shall pay one-half of the first cost of the work, provide without cost to the United States all rights-of- way, spoil-disposal areas, and bulkheads, and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that adequate terminals will be built. Complied with as to contribution of one-half of first cost of work done to date, cession of rights-of-way, provision of dis- posal areas, and the construction of terminals. Pending construc- tion of bulkheads by local interests along the southerly side of the channel in the upper 1,600 feet of the improvement, a channel of less than project width has been excavated. In letter dated February 4, 1948, the Commissioner, Department of Public Works, city of Glen Cove, was notified of the conditions affecting the remaining work. There is no indication as to when compliance with these conditions may be expected. Terminal facilities. There are 1,875 feet of bulkheads located RIVERS AND HARBORS - --NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 125 along the northerly side of the waterway. The terminals are ade- quate for present needs and there is ample waterfront, both public and private, for additional terminals as needs arise. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to restore project depth of 8 feet in the lower 0.6- mile reach of the channel, work was commenced on April 28, 1960 and was completed on June 20, 1960.

EAST ROCKAWAY (DEBS) INLET, N.Y. Location. This inlet is situated on the south shore of Long Island between the main body of the island and the western end of Long Beach. It is 10 miles east of Rockaway Inlet and about 27 miles by water south and east from the Battery, New York City. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 579 and 1215.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water and 250 feet wide from the 12-foot contour in the Atlantic Ocean to the 12-foot contour in Long Beach Channel, a distance of about 0.6 mile, protected by a jetty. Mean tidal range, 4.1 feet; mean range of spring tides, 4.9 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 4.1 feet below mean low water up to 5.2 feet above mean high water. The cost of new work for the completed active portion of the project as described above was $503,969 (excluding $100,000 con- tributed funds). The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $49,562. The west jetty portion of the project is considered to be in- active and is excluded from the foregoing description of the existing project and the cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $806,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 19, 71st Cong., 1st sess.) The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that local interests shall contribute $100,000 to the cost of the work; give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War and the Chief of Engineers that they will provide and main- tain at their own expense interior channels suitable for naviga- tion, not less than 12 feet deep, from East Rockaway Inlet to the Hempstead-Oyster Bay line, a distance of about 15 miles, to Hew- lett Harbor and to Freeport Harbor; furnish, without expense to the United States, necessary land, easements and rights-of-way for construction and maintenance of the jetties, and agree to hold and save the United States free of claims for damages to public and private property resulting from the improvement. Assurances of compliance with the conditions of local coopera- tion precedent to construction of entrance channel and east jetty were approved by the Chief of Engineers and Secretary of War on July 14 and 15, 1932, respectively. Local contribution of $100,000 was deposited to the credit of the United States on August 23, 1932. Since the construction of the west jetty is not considered necessary at this time, easements, rights-of-way, and release of claims for damages necessary for construction are not being secured. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 133 Terminal facilities. There are 33 terminals in Oceanside, Island Park, Long Beach, and East Rockaway. Eight of these are oil terminals-six at Oceanside, one of which has a railroad spur, and two at Island Park. The other terminals consist of repair and mooring docks with a berthage of 3,150 feet. Of these 14 have marine railways and one has mechanical handling facilities. There are public wharves at East Rockway and Woodmere, and the waterfront on the north side of Long Beach has been bulk- headed. The facilities are considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The U.S. seagoing hopper dredge Hyde and attendant plant were employed from June 20, 1960 and was still in progress at the end of the fiscal year in dredging to restore the project channel to a depth of 12 feet. During the fiscal year, 8,468 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $29,657, including $792 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under the entire existing project is about 85 percent complete. Work under the active portion of the existing project was commenced February 1933 and completed in May 1935. The east jetty, 4,250 feet long, was completed in July 1934. The project channel was completed in May 1935. When examined in April 1960, the controlling mean low water depth through the channel from deep water in Atlantic Ocean to deep water in East Rockaway Inlet was 12 feet for a width of 250 feet, except for a shoal at the first bend entering from seaward where the controlling depth was 7.2 feet bypassed by deeper water to the west. The east jetty was in good condi- tion. The work remaining to be done under the existing project consists of building a west jetty, if necessary, to protect the chan- nel. The total cost of the active portion of the existing project to June 30, 1960 was $1,203,783-$421,369 from regular funds and $82,600 from public works funds, a total of $503,969 for new work and $699,814 from regular funds for maintenance. In addition, the costs from contributed funds were $100,000 for new work.

The section under improvement extends from New York City to Waterford, a dis- tance of about 156 miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 282, 283, 284, 747, and 748.) Previous projects. The original project for improvement by the United States was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1834, and modified in 1852 and 1866. A second project was adopted by River Harbor Act of July 13, 1892, and modified in 1899. For further details, see page 1764, Annual Report for 1915, and page 226, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 600 feet wide from New York City to Kingston and thence 400 feet wide to Albany, with widening at the bends, a turning basin 700 feet wide and 1,200 feet long at Albany, and two anchorages, one near Hud- son and one near Stuyvesant, each with a width of 400 feet and an average length of 2,400 feet; all with depths of 32 feet in soft material and 34 feet in rock; thence 14 feet deep at lowest low water and generally 400 feet wide to the Fedral lock at Troy; and thence of same depth and 200 feet wide to the southern limit of the State Barge Canal at Waterford; and removal of State dam at Troy and the construction of a lock and dam about 2 1/ miles below Waterford. The channel is to be formed by dredging and rock excavation, and to be maintained by dredging and by constructing new, and raising and repairing old, longitudinal dikes, built partly under previous projects and partly by the State of New York. The mean range of pool elevation above the Federal dam at Troy, in seasons of moderate rains, is about 2.2 feet, as determined in 1934. The mean tidal range is about 4.7 feet at the Federal dam RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 141 at Troy and about 4.6 feet at Albany, extreme range due to freshets is 33.4 and 25.7 feet, respectively. The normal pool level above the Federal dam from Troy to Waterford is 14.33 feet above mean sea level at Sandy Hook, N.J. In the tidal section of the river below the dam the assumed lowest low water plane from Troy to Albany is 3 feet below mean sea level at Sandy Hook, N.J.

Operations and results during fiscal year. By use of Govern- ment plant and hired labor, brush and small trees growing on 60,721 linear feet of dikes were sprayed during the period June 3 to June 30, 1960 at a total cost of $6,446 for maintenance. Government plant and hired labor were employed intermit- tently from July 1, 1959 to October 30, 1959 and from June 6 to June 30, 1960 on repairs to Coeymans Middle Dike and Schodack (N.Y.S.) Dike at a total cost of $25,227 for maintenance. By use of Government plant and hired labor, stumps and snags which formed a potential menace to navigation, and other ob- structions, were removed from the shores and channel of the river during the fiscal year at a cost of $30,223 for maintenance. The cost of surveys, tidal observations, float observations, en- gineering and surveys pertaining to maintenance operations and contingencies was $43,001 for maintenance. The lock and dam in the Hudson River at Troy, N.Y., were operated and maintained during the fiscal year. Operation of the lock for the 1959 navigation season was suspended on Decem- ber 15, 1959 and resumed April 15, 1960 for the 1960 season. Under a rental contract, a truck crane was employed December 15 to December 16, 1959 in removing fender booms and installing the upper emergency dam, and March 31 to April 13, 1960 in removing the upper emergency dam, replacing the fender booms and removing debris deposited by high waters from upper en- trance to lock. Under two separate contracts, two upper emergency dam gates were re-built and cleaning and painting of lower emergency dam bulkhead beams were in progress. Government plant and hired labor were employed intermit- tently from December 21, 1959 to May 20, 1960 on repairs to lockwalls, fender booms, northeast culvert valve, sidewalks, and machinery at a total cost of $24,310 for operation and care. Under a contract for dredging to restore the channel between Bear Island and Four Mile Point to previous project depth of 27 feet, work was commenced November 10, 1959, suspended for the winter season on December 14, 1959, resumed on May 3, 1960 and continued to end of fiscal year with completion scheduled early in fiscal year 1961. During the fiscal year 117,158 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $236,273 for maintenance. The cost of advance engineering and design pertaining to the extension of the north guide wall at the Troy Lock was $1,269 for operation and care. The U.S. seagoing hopper dredge Essayons and attendant plant were employed from June 15 to June 30, 1960 in dredging to deepen the channel across the Haverstraw Bar to a depth of 32 feet. During the fiscal year 581,900 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $117,- 144 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 125, including $12,358 for engineering preliminary to dredging for new work.

Work under the existing proj- ect was commenced July 1910 and is about 61 percent complete. The construction of a new lock and dam at Troy, removal of old dam at Troy, and construction of 15,545 linear feet of dikes have been completed. In the reconstruction of old dikes, 39,672 linear feet have been raised to the adopted crest height. The channel from Albany to Waterford has been completed to depth of 14 feet, with the exception of a small part of the widening to form a harbor at Troy, which work is not deemed necessary for the pres- ent. The work of deepening the channel south of Albany to 27 feet mean low water has been completed with the exception of about 1,500 linear feet at the northern end. The controlling mean low water depth from New York City to Hudson is 27 feet for a width varying from 270 to 400 feet, thence 24.9 feet for a width varying from 150 to 300 feet to about 4,200 feet below the Dunn Memorial Bridge, thence 15 feet for a width varying from 200 to 400 feet to the Dunn Memorial Bridge. The controlling lowest low water depth from Albany to the lock and dam at Troy is 11.6 feet for a width varying from 300 feet at Albany to 45 feet near the south entrance to the lock at Troy. At the lock entrance it is 14 feet deep for a width of 45 feet. Controlling depth over the lock sills is 13 feet at the lower sill. The controlling pool level depth above the lock at Troy to Waterford, the head of improvement, is 14 feet for a width vary- ing from 45 to 200 feet. The work remaining to be done under the project consists of the construction and reconstruction of dikes, and deepening of the channel from New York City to Albany to 32 feet, construction of a turning basin at Albany, and construction of anchorages at Hudson and Stuyvesant.

GREAT LAKES TO HUDSON RIVER WATERWAY, N.Y. Location. This waterway consists of that portion of the New York State Barge Canal system extending from the Hudson River at Waterford to Oswego Harbor on Lake Ontario. (See U.S. Lake Survey Charts Nos. 183, 184, and New York Canal Charts.) Existing project. This provides for the allotment of Federal funds to the State of New York for expenditure under suitable Federal control and supervision in the improvement of the canal connecting Lake Ontario with the Hudson River. The improve- ment provides for a depth of 13 feet below normal pool level through all locks between Waterford and Oswego, deepening be- tween locks to 14 feet below normal pool level, widening at bends and elsewhere, and increasing the overhead clarance to 20 feet at maximum navigable stage at bridges and other overhead struc- tures. The widths of channel to be provided under the project are 104 feet in earth cuts, 120 feet in rock cuts, 200 feet in river sections, with widening at bends and elsewhere as may be neces- sary. The length of the waterway included in this project is about 184 miles, of which 160 miles are in the Erie Canal from Waterford to Three Rivers Point and 24 miles are in the Oswego Canal from Three Rivers Point to Oswego. The estimated cost for new work is $37,300,000 (July 1960), of which not more than $27,000,000 shall be expended on deepening between locks and raising of bridges and other overhead clear- 146 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. 8.

Four additional bridges were raised, 5 were removed and 4 were removed and replaced by new structures at project clearance; all by other agencies. The present depth is 14 feet at normal pool level for the follow- ing width: 75 feet in earth cuts, 94 feet in rock cuts, and 200 feet in canalized rivers and lakes. The 29 locks, 22 in Erie Canal east of Three Rivers Point, and 7 in Oswego Canal, north of Three 148 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Rivers Point, have a clear width of 43.5 feet, usable length of 300 feet, and a controlling depth of miter sills of 12 feet, except for Locks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 17, 18, 21 and 23 in the Erie Canal and Locks 1, 2 and 3 in the Oswego Canal where sills have been lowered to project depth of 13 feet. No alterations required on Lock 8, Erie Canal and Lock 5, Oswego Canal. Num- erous fixed bridges, transmission lines, and other structures span the waterways. There are 71 bridges between Waterford and Three Rivers Point and 13 between Three Rivers Point and Oswego. The minimum clearance under existing bridges and other overhead structures is 15.1 feet above maximum navigable stage. Work of lowering look sills to project depth is being prosecuted by the State of New York in conjunction with contracts for necessary maintenance of lock structures. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of widening and deepening the channel by excavation including the removal of ledge rock and work incidental thereto, for a total distance of 0.82 mile, as described in the above table, the raising of 17 barge canal bridges, the raising of 3 guard gates, the revet- ment of banks with quarry stones where necessary, and the deepening to 13 feet through 9 locks.

In the Upper Bay there are 48 terminals with a total berthage of 73,276 feet. In addition there are 6 car-float (railroad) bridges and 3 ferry terminals consisting of 7 slips. These terminals are located along the westerly shore of the bay, from St. George, Staten Island, to the Narrows and from Con- stable Hook, Bayonne, to Ellis Island. The terminals along the Brooklyn waterfront are reported under Bay Ridge and Red Hook Channels. The Lower Bay is largely undeveloped, the terminals being confined to Gravesend Bay where there are 8 terminals with a total berthage of 13,233 feet. Of the terminals in the harbor, 46 are equipped with mechanical-handling devices, and 34 have railroad connections. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to a depth of 20 feet in the widenings at bends near the southerly and northerly ends of the channel along the New Jersey pierhead line, work was commenced on May 18, 1960 and was still in progress at the end of the fiscal year. During the fiscal year 511,600 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $303,047 including $17,899 for en- gineering preliminary to dredging for new work. The U.S. seagoing hopper dredge Goethals and attendant plant were employed intermittently from January 9, 1960 to February 7, 1960 and from March 8, 1960 to March 10, 1960 in dredging to restore a depth of 35 feet in Bayside-Gedney Chan- nel. During the fiscal year 238,700 cubic yards, place measure- ment, of material were removed at a total cost of $167,638 including $7,225 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. The total cost of work was $470,685-$303,047 for new work and $167,638 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under the existing proj- ect was commenced in 1885 and is about 94 percent complete. Main Ship and Bayside-Gedney Channels were completed to a depth of 30 feet in February 1891. The deepening of Bayside- Gedney Channel to 35 feet for a width of 800 feet was completed in June 1939. Ambrose Channel was completed to a depth of 40 feet for a width of 2,000 feet in April 1914, and was substantially completed to a depth of 45 feet for a width of 2,000 feet in 1951. Relocation of Anchorage Channel was completed to a depth of 40 feet in October 1932. The center 800 feet was dredged to 45 feet in June 1947 and the westerly 600-foot strip in April 1948. The easterly 600-foot strip was substantially completed in June 1953. The channel between Staten Island and Hoffman and Swin- burne Islands was completed in December 1920 up to within 300 feet of the southerly limits of the project. The dredged channel meets all the needs of navigation and no further work of im- provement is contemplated for the present. The channel along the New Jersey pierhead line from Kill Van RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 151 Kull to Anchorage Channel was completed in March 1939. Widening at bends near the southerly and northerly ends author- ized in 1948 is in progress. The Red Hook Flats anchorage was completed to 40 and 30 feet and the Liberty (Bedloe) Island Anchorage was completed to 20 feet in October 1944.

This project applies to the Lower and Upper Bays, New York Harbor; East River, Harlem River, Hudson River Channel, N.Y., New York and New Jersey Channels, Newark Bay, N.J., and their tributaries. Existing project. This provides for the collection and removal of drift from New York Harbor and its tributary waters, and authorizes the Secretary of War to allot such amounts as may be necessary for the work from appropriations for maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor works or other avail- able appropriations, and that this work shall be carried as a separate and distinct project. It is wholly a work of maintenance. The purpose of the work is to afford relief from variable condi- tions of obstruction, and no advance estimate of the amount of work required and its proper cost can be made. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 4, 1915 Allotment from appropriations made for New York Aug. 8, 1917 Harbor and its immediate tributaries may be used for collection and removal of drift in these water- ways. July 3, 1930 Carrying on this work as a separate and distinct project. The average annual maintenance costs during the past 5 years was $402,867. Operations and results during fiscal year. The U. S. drift col- lector Driftmaster,steam lighter Gorham, motor tenders Daly and Stanwix and auxiliary plant were assigned to the work of removing and disposing of drift when not employed on other work. There were removed and disposed of during the fiscal year 492,003 cubic feet (3,844 cords) of driftwood, ranging in size from small blocks to timbers of large dimensions, including piles and pieces of wreckage. The cost of this work was $484,216 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is one of continuous maintenance for which no percentage of completion exists. Navigation has been made safer by the continual patrol of the harbor and the removal of large quantities of drift material. The total cost of operations to June 30, 1960, amounted to $7,072,245 for maintenance.

ARMY, 1960 to the plane of mean low water. The mean range of tides varies between 4.7 and 5.1 feet; the mean range of spring tides, 5.6 to 6.1 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pres- sure vary from 3.9 feet below mean low water up to 6.9 feet above mean high water. The estimate of cost for new work is $59,087,000 (July 1960) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclu- sive of $7,712 contributed by local interests. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $362,046. The anchorage at Sandy Hook, and the cutoff at junction of Main Ship Channel, at a cost of $2,150,000, last revised in 1957, were placed in a "Deferred for Restudy" category and are ex- cluded from the foregoing description of the existing project and the cost estimate. Local cooperation. Work under the acts of May 28, 1935, and August 30, 1935, is subject to the following conditions of local cooperation: a. That where the project channel encroaches upon upland property and extends shoreward of harbor lines, the completion of the encroaching portions of the project shall be deferred until the necessary rights-of-way for channel purposes shall have been granted free of cost to the United States; and b. That local interests provide areas of land adjacent to the waterway, free of cost to the United States, for the disposal of dredged materials except where, in the judgment of the Chief of Engineers, no suitable disposal areas exist. Under condition a, a portion of Buckwheat Island necessary for channel purposes has been ceded to the United States. An ease- ment dated August 4, 1942, approved by the Chief of Engineers on September 5, 1942, conveyed to the United States, free of cost, rights-of-way for channel purposes at Howland Hook, Staten Island, N.Y. Condition b is being complied with. Authority was granted by the Chief of Engineers on November 11, 1935, to require local interests to provide areas for the disposal of dredged material only in the section of the waterway extending from the vicinity of Outerbridge Crossing at Perth Amboy to the vicinity of the channel north of Shooters Island. The River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, provides that local interests shall: a. Provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, 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 the project. c. Deepen the approaches and berths at the terminals which would use the recommended improvement in order to secure the full advantages of the deeper channel. Assurances of compliance with the above conditions were ac- cepted by the Secretary of the Army on March 4, 1954. Terminal facilities. There are 187 terminals with a total berthage of 119,916 feet. In addition, there are seven ferry land- RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 155 ings, and two car-float (railroad) bridges. Of the terminals, 101 are equipped with mechanical handling devices, and 80 have rail- road connections. Included in the terminals are five large ship- yards. Five of the terminals with a berthage of 1,693 feet are not used for waterborne commerce. Two of the terminals have marine railways. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for the removal of rock and other material to a depth of 37 feet in Section 4, Rock Area 13, in the west half of the channel in the vicinity of Tremley Point, work was commenced on January 22, 1959 and was completed on December 1, 1959. During the fiscal year 39,487 cubic yards, place measurement, of ledge rock were removed at a total cost of $776,483 for new work including an adjustment increasing previously reported cost for engineering by $966. As a result of final adjustments, the total yardage of ma- terial other than ledge rock, reported for fiscal year 1959 is cor- rected to 86,323 cubic yards, but no reduction is made in the re- ported total cost of work during that fiscal year. Under a contract for the removal of ledge rock and other material to a depth of 37 feet in Section 4, Rock Area 14, in the west half of the channel in the vicinity of Carteret, work was commenced on March 17, 1959 and was completed on September 28, 1959.

Fully complied with as required by the River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, except that local interests are required to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas for maintenance dredging in the 30-foot channel in the Hackensack River above Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge; in the 10-foot channel in the Passaic River; and whenever required by the Secretary of War, for dredging in the 30-foot channel in Newark Bay and the Hackensack River below the Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge, as required by the River and Harbor Act approved September 22, 1922. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provides that local interests shall: a. Agree to furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas needed for new work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required. b. Hold and save the United States free from claims for dam- ages resulting from the improvements. c. Provide and maintain suitable berthing areas at Port Newark terminal. Assurances providing compliance with the local cooperation requirements under this act were accepted by the Chief of Engi- neers on March 22, 1950. In addition, the sum of $285,600 was contributed by the Port of New York Authority to cover the cost of dredging the berthing areas at Port Newark Terminal, which work was completed by the United States in conjunction with the excavation of the project channel during 1951. It further provided, for the 10-foot channel in Passaic River from Montclair & Glreenwood Lake Railroad bridge to the Eighth Street Bridge in Passaic, that when spoil-disposal areas are not available, or the placing of dredge spoil ashore is uneconomical as compared with other methods of disposal, local interests shall 160 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 not be required to furnish disposal areas for maintenance dredg- ing. The River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954, further pro- vides that local interests shall agree to: a. Furnish, without cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for initial construction, and for subsequent maintenance when and as re- quired. b. Provide depths commensurate with the channel depth in ap- proaches and berths at the terminals of the companies which would use the improvement. c. Hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvement. Terminal facilities. Along the waterways of this project there are 142 terminals with a total berthage of 58,276 feet as well as a large shipyard. Of these, Port Newark, which is owned and operated by the New York Port Authority, provides about 10,625 feet of wharfage. Fifty-seven of the terminals are equipped with mechanical-handling devices and 54 have railroad connections. Six of the terminals aggregating a berthage of 1,789 feet are not used for waterbone commerce. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to restore a depth of 12 feet in the Hackensack River from Little Ferry to the upstream limit of the project, work was commenced on May 4, 1959 and completed on August 14, 1959. During the fiscal year 39,841 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $60,914 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under the entire existing project was commenced August 1907 and is about 89 percent complete. The channels included in the project have been com- pleted to full project dimensions except for the completion of the 32-foot main channel in Newark Bay, the 32-foot channel in Hackensack River, with a turning basin 25 feet deep, at the upper end of the channel, and the 20-foot channel in Passaic River from Jackson Street to the Nairn Linoleum Works. The controlling mean low water depths of the various channels, as shown by surveys made intermittently from September 1939 to July 1959, are as follows: Section Depth Width (feet) (feet) In Newark Bay from mouth to junction with branch channel to Port Newark terminal .............. ...................................................... 35 535-400 From junction with branch channel to Port Newark Terminal to junction of Hackensack and Passiac Rivers ...... .... .................... 30 30.... 400-250 From branch Channel in Newark Bay to head of inshore channel at Port Newark Term inal ................ .. .... ........................... ................. 580-150 In Hackensack River from Newark Bay to about 2,000 feet above the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western R.

RARITAN RIVER, N.J. Location. This river rises in the north central part of New Jersey and flows in a general southeasterly direction into Raritan Bay, between Perth Amboy and South Amboy, about 24 miles by water south of the Battery, New York City. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 375.) Previous projects. A survey of Raritan River for the im- provement of New Brunswick Harbor was made in 1836. Sub- sequent projects were adopted by acts of June 18, 1878, and March 3, 1881. For further details, see page 1777 of Annual Report for 1915, 162 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 page 359 of Annual Report for 1918, and page 259 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide extending from the turn in New York and New Jersey Channels near Great Beds Light to the Government wharf on the main channel, a distance of 5.8 miles widened to 600 feet for a length of 1,000 feet opposite the wharf to form a turning basin of same depth; thence a channel 15 feet deep and 200 feet wide to the Washington Canal, a distance of 3.0 miles; thence 10 feet deep in soft material, 11 feet deep in rock, and generally 100 feet wide with widening at bends to the Delaware and Rari- tan Canal entrance at New Brunswick, a distance of 5 miles; and for a south channel 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the junc- tion with the main channel at Keasby to the upper limit of the Titanium Pigment Co. property, a distance of 0.8 mile; thence 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide to a point 1,300 feet below the upper junction with the main channel at Crab Island, a distance of 2.3 miles. The plane of reference is mean low water. The mean range of tides is 5.1 feet at the mouth of the river and 5.6 feet at New Brunswick; mean range of spring tides, 6.1 and 6.6 feet, respectively. Irregular fluctuations due to winds and baro- metric pressure vary from 3.6 feet below mean low water up to 6.9 feet above mean high water. The cost for new work for the completed portion of the project, consisting of the channels described above, was $1,171,000, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects and exclusive of $66,000 contributed by local interests. The average annual main- tenance cost during the past 5 years was $227,806. The dredging of the south channel to a depth of 10 feet and 150 feet wide for a length of 1,300 feet to the upper junction with the main channel at Crab Island is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing description and the cost esti- mate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $86,000.

There are 13 piers and bulkheads with a total berthage of 8,549 feet along the shores of Raritan River. The Government has established a large ammunition and storage depot and arsenal known as Raritan Arsenal on the river. One of the terminals is municipally owned and is leased to private interests. Nine of the terminals are equipped with mechanical- handling devices and 10 have railroad connections. In addition, there is a boatyard with storage space for 100 craft. The terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to restore a depth of 25 feet in South Channel and in a portion of the main channel, 1,400 feet downstream from the Victory Bridge, work was commenced on October 12, 1959 and completed November 30, 1959. During the fiscal year 128,772 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $137,677, including $3,503 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under the entire existing project is about 96 percent complete. Work under the active por- tion of the existing project was commenced September 1919 and completed July 1941. A shoal along the northerly channel line in the vicinity of the Victory Bridge was eliminated by relocation of the channel in February 1959. The main channel has been dredged 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the junction with New York and New Jersey Channels to and including a turning basin of the same depth opposite the Government wharf, thence 15 feet deep and 200 feet wide to the mouth of the Washington Canal, thence 10 and 11 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Delaware & Raritan Canal outlet locks at New Brunswick. The south channel has been dredged 25 feet deep and 300 feet wide for a distance of 3,200 feet, thence 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide for a distance of 12,400 feet to within 1,300 feet of the junction with the main channel at Crab Island. The model study of Raritan River was completed in March 1952.

SUPERVISION OF NEW YORK HARBOR 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. The supervisor is charged under the laws with the duties of preventing obstructive or injurious deposits in the waters under his jurisdiction and the prevention of anchorage in the entrance channels of the harbor to promote the safe navi- gation of deep draft vessels. The laws relating to the supervision of New York Harbor are the Act of Congress approved June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209) as amended by Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360), Section 8 of the River and Harbor Act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424, 426), Act of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623) and Act of July 12, 1952 (66 Stat. 596) ; section 2 of the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360) ; and Act of Congress approved June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 43 Stat. 604). Supervision was exercised by means of the U.S. Patrol Boat Active for a total of 12 boat months, five patrol launches for a total of 18 boat months, and 37 man months of shore patrol and inspection. Patrols, to the extent of available funds, were main- tained to preclude obstructive or injurious material being de- posited at places other than in the designated dumping grounds; to endeavor to keep the main entrance channels free of anchored RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 165 craft for safe navigation by deep-draft vessels; and to detect the discharge into navigable waters of waste oil and sludge, rubbish, and other types of debris. The total cost of all work during the fiscal year, including the cost of operating the vessels and the work of the office for the supervision of New York Harbor to 30 June 1960 was $367,031. Summary of legal actions: The disposition of legal actions to the end of the fiscal year for violations of Act of June 29, 1888, as amended, and the Oil Pollution Act of 1924, is as follows: Number of cases reported to U.S. Attorney for prosecution: Prior to fiscal year 1960.....................................1834 During fiscal year 1960 ....................................... 13 Total ...................................................... 1847 Number of convictions obtained or cases settled by compromise: Prior to fiscal year 1960 .............................. ....... 1292 During fiscal year 1960 ........................................ 19 Total ...................................................... 1311 Number of cases nolle prossed or discontinued: Prior to fiscal year 1960 ...................................... 453 During fiscal year 1960 ...................................... 5 Total ....................... .............................. 458 Number of cases dismissed after trial: Prior to fiscal year 1960 ...................................... 60 During fiscal year 1960 ...................................... 0 Total ..................... .............................. 60 Number of cases pending 30 June 1960 .......................... 18 Grand total ...................... ....................... 1847 Summary of deposits: The amounts of material in cubic yards disposed of under the supervision of the Supervisor of New York Harbor since 1890, are as follows: Material deposited at the mouth of the harbor: From 1890 to 1959 ........................ 914,452,255 Fiscal year 1960: By United States Government plant includ- ing seagoing hopper dredges from Butter- milk Channel, Bayside-Gedney Channel, Edgewater-Weehawken Channel, Bay Ridge and Red Hook Channel .................. 2,310,400 Operations by the United States under con- tract in maintenance and improvement of waterways ......... .................... 413,463 Other than United States operations ...... 10,124,830 12,848,693 p 927,300,948 166 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

This project provides for modification of the Waterbury Dam so as to accom- modate safely the maximum probable flood. The work consists of increasing the height of the dam 3 feet to elevation 633 feet mean sea level, the installation of one extra 35-foot tainter gate, thus providing a total of three gates and reducing the length of fixed crest spillway by 38 feet, the installation of a gasoline-engine generator for the emergency operation of the gates in case of power failure, riprapping new embankment, restoring road sur- face and guard rails, extending the existing bridge over the new tainter gate section, and performing such incidental work as may be required. Construction of the Waterbury Reservoir was com- pleted in 1938 under authority granted by the Director, Emer- gency Conservation Work on June 2, 1933. The work was per- formed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army. The estimated Federal cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $861,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 629, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map is the project document. Local cooperation. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, authorized the project subject to the condition that the State of Vermont give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of War that it will: a. Provide, without cost to the United States, all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction. b. Hold and save the, United States free from claims for damages due to the construction works and -due to inundation of the reservoir areas between the present and proposed maximum flow lines. c. Continue to maintain and operate the works after comple- tion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War.

S. ARMY, 1960 31. NORTH BRANCH SUSQUEHANNA RIVER FLOOD- CONTROL PROJECT, N.Y. AND PA. Location. The work covered by this project is in the upper watershed of the Susquehanna River to and including the Che- mung River. This includes about 6,050 square miles in south- central New York, and about 1,480 square miles in northern Penn- sylvania. The individual units constituting the authorized plan are located on the Tioga and Cowanesque Rivers, (tributaries of the Chemung River), on the Tioughnioga River, and on the Sus- quehanna River (North Branch) near its junction with the Che- mung River. (See U.S. Geological Survey index maps of New York and Pennsylvania.) Existing project. The Flood Control Act approved July 3, 1958 authorized construction of the Cowanesque and Tioga-Hammond detention reservoirs in Pennsylvania, local flood-protection works at Elkland, Pa. and Nichols, N.Y., and channel improvements at Cortland, N.Y., in accordance with recommendations contained in House Document 394, 84th Congress. The Act authorized $30,000,- 000 to be appropriated for partial accomplishment of the project plan. The 1958 Flood Control Act supplemented the comprehensive flood-control program for southern New York and northern Penn- sylvania, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, as modified by the acts approved June 28, 1938; August 18, 1941; December 22, 1944; and May 17, 1950. The Southern New York Flood-Control Project, and the Stillwater, Genegantslet, and South Plymouth Reservoirs, authorized under these earlier acts, are reported separately. The individual units which constitute the approved plan of im- provement authorized by the 1958 Flood Control Act are described in the following paragraphs: Cowanesque Reservoir: This reservoir will be located on the Cowanesque River, the dam to be approximately 2 miles above the confluence with the Tioga River at Lawrenceville, Pa. about 12 miles south of Corning, N.Y. The dam will be of earthfill con- struction, 2,930 feet in length and rising 145 feet above the streambed, with an uncontrolled spillway in the right abutment and a gated outlet conduit in the valley floor. The reservoir will provide a flood-control storage capacity of 95,700 acre-feet. The estimated Federal cost of new work is $28,600,000 (July 1960), of which $18,250,000 is for construction and $10,350,000 for lands and damages. (Map references: U.S. Geological Survey, Tioga, Pa., quadrangle; Army Map Service, series V831, sheet 5567 1 NW.) Tioga-Hammond Reservoir: This reservoir will be located near the junction of Crooked Creek and the Tioga River at Tioga, Pa., about 18 miles south of Corning, N.Y. The Tioga dam will be on the Tioga River and the Hammond Dam on Crooked Creek, with an interconnecting diversion channel. Both dams will be of earth- fill construction. The Tioga dam will be 2,460 feet in length, ris- ing 125 feet above the streambed, with a controlled outlet conduit. FLOOD CONTROL---NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 199 The Hammond dam will be 4,260 feet in length, having a maxi- mum height of 107 feet above the streambed, with a concrete spillway and controlled outlet. The Tioga-Hammond reservoir will provide a flood-control storage capacity of 130,100 acre-feet. The estimated Federal cost of new work is $53,600,000 (July 1960), of which $29,800,000 is for construction and $23,800,000 for lands and damages. (Map reference: U.S. Geological Survey, Tioga, Pa. quadrangle; Army Map Service, series V831, sheet 5567 1 NW.) Cortland, N.Y.: The project is located in the city of Cortland on the Tioughnioga River, which is a tributary of the Chenango River, which joins the North Branch of the Susquehanna River at Binghamton, N.Y. It provides for channel improvement and clearing for reduction of flood heights at Cortland, by improve- ment of approximately 6,000 feet of the channel of the Tiough- nioga River and approximately 8,400 feet of the channel of the West Branch of the Tioughnioga River above its confluence with the river. The estimated Federal cost of new work is $355,000 (July 1960), exclusive of land and other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated cost of $95,000 (July 1960). (Map references: U.S. Geological Survey, Cortland, N.Y., quadrangle; Army Map Service, series V821, sheet 5769 11 SW.) Nichols, N.Y.: The project is located at Nichols, N.Y., at the junction of Wappasening Creek with the North Branch of the Susquehanna River about 16 miles upstream from the mouth of the Chemung River. The project provides for levee and appurte- nant improvements for local flood protection at Nichols extend- ing for a total distance of approximately 9,300 feet along the Wappasening Creek and the North Branch. The estimated Fed- eral cost of new work is $1,110,000 (July 1960), exclusive of land and other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated cost of $65,000 (July 1960). (Map reference: U.S. Geological Survey, Owego quadrangle). Elkland, Pa.: The project is located on the Cowanesque River about 12 miles above its confluence with the Tioga River. The project provides for levee and appurtenant improvements for local flood protection at Elkland. The levee would extend for a distance of approximately 14,000 feet along the left bank of the river. The estimated Federal cost of new work is $1,440,000 (July 1960), exclusive of land and other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated cost of $210,000 (July 1960).

During the fiscal year, under advance preparation for flood emergencies, cost incurred for the revison of the district flood emergency manual were $614; costs for flood emergency ex- ercises were $826; and costs for supplies and equipment (studies of additions and betterments to radio equipment) were $457, a total of $1,897. Costs for flood fighting and rescue operations were $4,303, which includes $421 for post flood reports. The District flood emergency organization was activated fol- lowing flood warnings and during the storms of March 31 through April 5, and June 17, 1960. Flooding, caused by the action of precipitation and high temperatures on preceding heavy snow cover, caused heavy damages during March 31 through April 5 1960 along streams in the North Branch Susquehanna, Hudson, Mohawk, and Hoosic River basins. The flood of June 17, 1960 caused extremely heavy concentrated rainfall in the vicinity of Endicott, Johnson City, and the town of Union, New York, re- sulted in heavy damages in that area along tributaries of the Susquehanna River Basin. The total costs during the fiscal year for emergency flood-con- trol activities were $6,200, all for maintenance. ALTERATION OF BRIDGES-NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT 205 35. STATEN ISLAND RAPID TRANSIT RAILWAY COMPANY BRIDGE ACROSS ARTHUR KILL, N.Y. Location. The Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Co. bridge crosses the Arthur Kill, New York and New Jersey Channels approximately 1.5 miles south of Newark Bay and connects Eliza- beth, N.J., with Staten Island, N.Y. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 369). Existing project. This provides for the construction of a new railroad bridge to replace the single track swing bridge com- pleted in 1888. The center pier and fender system of the existing bridge result in inadequate horizontal clearances which present a serious obstruction and hazard to navigation. The new bridge will provide a vertical lift span with vertical clearances of 135 feet above mean high water in the open position and 31 feet above mean high water in the closed position. The new bridge will eliminate the existing center pier and leave a clear and unob- structed channel 500 feet wide. The center of the new span is to be located about 158 feet east of the center of the existing bridge. The notice to alter the existing bridge was signed by the Secre- tary of the Army on July 5, 1949, as authorized by the Truman- Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940, as amended. The estimated Federal share of the cost of new work, revised in 1960, is $8,000,000. The estimated cost to local interests, re- vised in 1960, is $1,635,000. Local cooperation. The Truman-Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940, provides that, upon notice to alter by the Secretary of War, the bridge owners shall (a) prepare and submit to the Secretary for approval, plans and specifications for the alteration of the br' 1 e; (b) take bids for the alteration of the bridge in accordance .h the approved plans; submit all bids to the Secretary togetier with a recommendation as to the most competent bid; submit a written guaranty that the total cost of the project will not exceed a stated sum; and upon authorization by the Secretary, proceed with the work of alteration; (c) bear such part of the cost as determined by the Secretary to be attributable to the direct and special benefits which will accrue to the bridge owners as a result of the alteration, including the expectable savings in repair or maintenance costs; and that part of the cost attributable to the requirements of traffic by railroad or highway, or both, including any expenditure for increased carrying capacity of the bridge, and including such proportion of the actual capital cost of the old bridge or of such part of the old bridge as may be altered or changed or rebuilt, as the used service life of the whole or a part, as the case may be, bears to the total estimated service life of the whole or such part. In complying with the provision of the Truman-Hobbs Act, the bridge owners have completed the following actions: (a) re- tained consulting engineers, completed necessary foundation in- vestigations, and prepared plans and specifications for the altera- tion of the bridge which have been approved by the Secretary of the Army; (b) taken bids for the construction of the substructure 206 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and approaches in accordance with the approved plans and speci- fications; submitted all bids to the Secretary together with a recommendation as to the most competent bid; submitted a writ- ten guaranty that the total cost of the project will not exceed a stated sum; and, upon authorization by the Secretary, have awarded a contract for the construction of the substructure and approaches; (c) accepted an apportionment of cost prepared by the Chief of Engineers and approved by the Secretary of the Army; (d) agreed to proceed with reconstruction of the bridge on an annual appropriation basis; and (e) donated the land re- quired for the necessary widening of the bend in the Arthur Kill at the railway bridge. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work under Con- tract No. 2, involving construction of the bridge superstructure and removal of the superstructure of the old bridge, was com- pleted on December 17, 1959. The work done during the fiscal year consisted of installation and testing of machinery, painting, removal of the superstructure of the old bridge and cleanup items. Work under Contract No. 3, involving removal of the piers and abutments of the old bridge and construction of fender system for the new bridge, was initiated on February 1, 1960. During the fiscal year, work under this contract consisted of pier demolition, embankment removal and placing sheet piling for fender system. Track, signal work, and engineering was con- tinued by the Railway Company forces. The Federal cost of the work for the fiscal year was $1,327,151 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was operationally completed, the first train having crossed the new bridge on August 25, 1959. Construction under contract No. 1 for the sub- structure was completed in August 1958. Construction under contract No. 2 for the superstructure was completed in December 1959. Work under contract No. 3 for demolition of structures and construction of fender system was about 82 percent completed on June 30, 1960. The work remaining to be done consists of com- pletion of removal of the substructure of the old bridge, com- pletion of track and signal work by the railway company forces, and preparation of final engineering reports. The total Federal cost of the existing project to June 30, 1960 was $7,537,453 for new work.

Y., DISTRICT 207 36. FIRE ISLAND INLET, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. Location. The area included under this project comprises the Atlantic Coast of Long Island, New York, between Fire Island Inlet and Jones Inlet, a distance of about 15 miles. Fire Island Inlet is situated on the south shore of Long Island, about 50 miles by water south and east of the Battery, New York City, and connects Great South Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Jones Inlet is situated on the south shore of Long Island, about 37 miles by water south and east of the Battery, New York City, and con- nects Hempstead Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 578 and 579.) Existing project. This provides for Federal participation in the restoration and protection of the shore from Fire Island Inlet to Jones Inlet by dredging the inlet shoal in Fire Island Inlet to relieve the pressure of tidal currents against Oak Beach, to pro- vide a deposition area for littoral drift, and to obtain fill material for a feeder beach and for Oak Beach. The project provides for several operations over a period of 10 years. Federal participa- tion is authorized to the extent of one-third of the costs allocated to the beach erosion control feature and the entire cost allocated to the navigation feature, a total of 42 percent for the first in- crement. The Federal shares of subsequent increments would be based on the then current estimates of maintenance costs which can be justified for the navigation project and experience with maintenance requirements, provided however, that the Fed- eral shares would not exceed 42 percent of the costs of those in- crements. The mean range of tide is 4.1 feet. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost is $2,290,000 (July 1960). TL, existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 411, 84th Cong., 2d Sess.) Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 provides that local interests shall: a. Obtain approval by the Chief of Engineers, prior to com- mencement of work on any feature of the project, of detailed plans and specifications and arrangements for prosecuting the work on that feature. b. Provide at their own expense all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way. c. Hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages that may arise before, during, or after prosecution of the work. d. Assure that water pollution that would endanger the health of bathers will not be permitted. e. Assure maintenance of the recommended project during its useful life, as may be required to insure realization of anticipated benefits. f. Assure continued public ownership of the shore and its ad- ministration for public use during the economic life of the project. The Long Island State Park Commission of the State of New York, which is the cooperating agency, has entered into an agree- ment with the United States dated August 21, 1958, in which the 208 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 agency adopted the plan of improvement for beach erosion control authorized by Congress and agreed to furnish its share of the cost, and to comply with all other requirements of local coopera- tion. The total estimated cost for all requirements of local co- operation is $3,153,000. (July 1960). By letter dated October 7, 1958, the cooperating agency re- quested the United States to undertake and supervise the con- struction of the first increment of the work. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to accomplish the first increment, work was com- menced on April 17, 1959, and was completed on June 15, 1960. During the fiscal year 3,714,060 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed from the dredging area and placed in the beach fill areas. Costs during the fiscal year amount to $936,871, including $2,271 for engineering preliminary to dredg- ing, and excluding $1,293,774 regular contributed funds and $364,000 other contributed funds, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. At the end of the fiscal year the first dredging operation was 100 percent complete while the project as a whole was about 62 percent complete. The total cost under the project to June 30, 1960, was $985,946 excluding $1,352,211 regular contributed funds and $364,000 other con- tributed funds, all for new work.

DELAWARE RIVER BETWEEN PHILADELPHIA, PA., AND TRENTON, N.J. Location. This river has its source in southeastern New York, flows in a general southerly direction 367 miles, forming the boundary line between the States of New York and New Jersey on the east and Pennsylvania and Delaware on the west, and empties into Delaware Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Charts Nos. 1218, 280, 294, 295, and 296.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of June 10, 1872; March 3, 1875; June 14, 1880; July 5, 1884; August 18, 1894; March 2, 1907; June 25, 1910; July 25, 1912; June 5, 1920 211 212 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and March 3, 1925. For further details see page 1778 of the Annual Report for 1915, page 311 of the Annual Report for 1924, page 220 of the Annual Report for 1934, and page 296, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel from Allegheny Avenue, Philadelphia, to the upstream end of Newbold Island, a distance of 23.5 miles, 40 feet deep and 400 feet wide, with suit- able widening of bends, including relocation of the channel at the Delair Railroad bridge, and reconstruction of the bridge; thence to the upper end of the Trenton Marine Terminal, a distance of 5.5 miles, 35 feet deep and 300 feet wide, with a turning basin 800 feet wide and 1,700 feet long at the terminal; and maintenance of a channel 12 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the upper end of the 35-foot channel to the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge at Tren- ton, dredged under a previous project. The project also pro- vides for an auxiliary channel 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide east of Burlington Island, extending easterly from the main channel to the upper end of the United States Pipe and Foundry Company's property at East Burlington, with a turning basin 450 feet wide at the upper end; for the initial excavation, only, of a cross channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide through the artificial island opposite Delanco, N.J.; and for constructing such bank protection works as may be necessary. The total length of the section in- cluded in the project is about 301/2 miles, excluding the auxiliary channel east of Burlington Island, which is 1.4 miles long, and the cross channel opposite Delanco. The lower end is about 55 miles above the mouth of the river at Liston Point and about 105 miles above the harbor of refuge at the mouth of Delaware Bay. All depths refer to the plane of mean low water. The mean tidal range at Trenton is 6.7 feet, and increase of 1.3 feet since the com- pletion of the 25-foot channel in 1937. Freshets, which occur usually during February and March, attain a height of 9 to 20 feet above mean low water in the vicinity of Trenton. Naviga- tion is occasionally suspended during a portion of the winter months on account of ice. The estimate of cost for new work is $80,390,000 (July 1960) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $15,000 contributed funds. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $173,162. Local cooperation. The modification authorized by the 1954 River and Harbor Act provides that local interests agree to: (a) Furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the construc- tion of the project and for subsequent maintenance when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvements; and (c) that the United States Steel Corp. agree to provide at its ex- pense suitable terminal and transfer facilities at its Fairless plant, including a turning basin if and when required. Local interests have complied with the requirements of local cooperation under earlier authorizations. In compliance with the RIVERS AND HARBORS - PHILADELPHIA, PENNA., DISTRICT 213 requirements of the River and Harbor Act of 1954, the United States Steel Corp. has constructed terminal and transfer facilities at its Fairless plant. The legislatures of Pennsylvania and New Jersey have passed acts providing for compliance with other re- quirements. Assurances have been furnished.

Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of June 20, 1938, imposes the condition that the cities of Philadelphia and Camden shall agree to dredge not less than 110,000 cubic yards annually in maintaining the channel and anchorage in Phila- delphia Harbor between Allegheny Avenue and the mouth of Schuylkill River. This condition will become effective after com- pletion of initial dredging of the 40- and 37-foot channels below the Philadelphia-Camden Bridge authorized in the 1938 Act. The completion of sewage treatment works by the cities of Philadel- phia and Camden has removed the necessity for this dredging. Terminal facilities. There are 251 piers, wharves, and docks on the river between Allegheny Avenue, Philadelphia, and the sea, 166 located on the waterfront of Philadelphia, Camden, and Glou- cester and 85 below Philadelphia. Fourteen facilities are owned by the United States, 33 by States and municipalities, 50 by rail- road companies, and 154 by private interests. The public and railroad piers are open to public use, some free and others on pay- ment charges. Most of the piers, equipped to handle general cargo, have direct rail connections with three railroad systems op- erating in the area. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce.

Terminal facilities. There are three wharves at Lewes, Del.; one owned by the town, one Government-owned, and one privately owned, all open to public use. There are a number of small landings for fishing parties and private boats on the inland water- way. At Lewes, on the north bank of the waterway, the Lewes Anglers Association has constructed a wharf about 600 feet long with slips for fishing party boats. At Rehoboth, there are two 280 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 private wharves of pile-and-timber construction. At Henlopen Acres, adjoining Rehoboth, a private yacht basin with accomoda- tions for more than 50 fishing party boats and pleasure craft connects with the canal. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance con- tract: Costs of $106 were incurred for removal of a building from Government right-of-way. Maintenance, hired labor: Costs of $3,099 were incurred for real estate management and $2,751 for reconnaissance and con- dition survey. The total costs were $5,956 all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was about 70 percent complete. The jetties at Rehoboth Bay entrance were completed in 1903 under a previous project. The highway bridge at Rehoboth was completed in 1915, and replaced with a new structure by the Delaware State Highway Department in 1926. The railroad bridge at Rehoboth Beach, constructed in 1916, was removed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1941. A channel 6 feet deep and 50 feet wide from Broadkill River to Re- hoboth Bay, completed in 1927, was enlarged to 100 feet wide between Broadkill River and Lewes with Basin at Lewes and a new entrance from Delaware Bay 6 feet deep and 200 feet wide in 1937. Jetties at the Delaware Bay entrance extending to the 6-foot depth curve in the bay were completed in 1938, and the deepening of the channel from Delaware Bay to Lewes and the basin at Lewes from 6 to 10 feet, in 1957. The work remaining to be done, the extension of the existing jetties at the Delaware Bay entrance, is considered to be "Inactive." The controlling depths at mean low water were: In May 1960, in the entrance channel, 6.6 feet; thence to the highway bridge at Lewes, 6.1 feet; and thence, in June 1957, to Rehoboth Bay, 5.8 feet. The cost under the existing project, excluding $60,000 con- tributed funds expended for new work, were $561,514 for new work, $225,788 for maintenance, and $3,000 for preauthorization studies, a total of $790,302.

The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provides that local interests furnish, free of cost to the! United States, suitable areas properly diked for disposal ofi dredged material, for new work and maintenance when and as needed; convey to the United States, free of cost, a perpetual easement to excavate all lands above ordinary high water re- quired for the improvement; and release the United States from all claims for damage resulting from the improvement. Assur- ances of local cooperation furnished by local interests in connec- tion with the deepening of the channel only, were approved by the Chief of Engineers on February 15, 1951. The requirements under prior acts have been fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Five landings with a total wharfage of 700 feet, used by commercial fishermen, and seven landings and boat basins for pleasure craft are located along the river and its branches. The pleasure boat landings and basins are equipped with marine railways, boatbuilding and repair facilities, and boat storage facilities. Two yacht clubs with a mooring capacity of 45 boats and numerous pleasure boat landings are also located along the waterway. The existing facilities are considered ade- quate for present requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year. Costs of $3,879 were incurred in connection with settlement of a claim for con- tract dredging of a shoal area awarded in fiscal year 1958. Maintenance, hired labor: Cost for reconnaissance and con- dition survey was $1,186. RIVERS AND HARBORS - -PHILADELPHIA, PENNA., DISTRICT 239 The cost of all work for maintenance was $5,065. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was about 78 percent complete. Two rubble mound jetties, 1230 feet long north of the entrance and 1,030 feet long south of the entrance, were completed in 1931. Two steel bulkheads, each 950 feet long, at the inshore ends of the jetties, were completed in 1937. A steel bulkhead 698 feet long and two steel groins of an aggre- gate length of 570 feet, constructed on the northerly beach, were completed in 1938. A channel 10 feet deep and 250 feet wide from the 10-foot curve in the ocean to a point near the inshore ends of the jetties and thence 8 feet deep and 300 feet wide to a point 700 feet below the New York and Long Branch Railroad bridge was completed in 1933, and the widening of the northerly side of the channel was completed in 1938. The work remaining to be done is the deepening of the channel between the jetties from 10 feet to 14 feet, thence to a point 700 feet below the rail- road bridge from 8 feet to 12 feet, and extending the 12-foot channel to within 300 feet of the railroad bridge.

NEW JERSEY INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY Location. This waterway, a sea-level inland water route approximately parallel with the New Jersey coast, extends from the Atlantic Ocean at Manasquan Inlet, about 26 miles south of Sandy Hook, N.J., to Delaware Bay about 3 miles above Cape May Point. The waterway extends through the inlet and up Manasquan River a distance of about 2 miles; thence by the 240 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Manasquan-Bayhead Canal through high ground for a distance of 2 miles to the head of Barnegat Bay. It then passes through a series of bays, lagoons, and thoroughfares along the New Jersey coast to Cape May Harbor; thence across Cape May County to Delaware Bay through a land cut by way of the New England Creek basin. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 234, 795, 825, 826, 827, 1216, 1217, 1218, and 1219.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water and generally 100 feet wide, extending from the Atlantic Ocean at Manasquan Inlet, N.J., to Delaware Bay above Cape May, N.J., by the further improvement of Manasquan River and Inlet, N.J., and the present New Jersey Intracoastal Water- way, and by the construction of a canal of similar dimensions from Cape May Harbor to Delaware Bay via the New England Creek basin, with adequate jetties at the Delaware Bay entrance. The total length of the project is about 117 miles. Normal tide range in sections of the waterway remote from inlets is 0.5 foot. Near the inlets the mean tidal range generally is 3 feet; in the ocean, 4 feet; at the head of Cape May Harbor, 4.6 feet; and in Delaware Bay, near the entrance, 4.7 feet. The estimate of cost for new work is $54,000 (July 1954), ex- clusive of $1,824,940 Navy Department funds and $99,000 con- tributed by local interests. The portion of the project extending from Manasquan River to Cape May Harbor is to be restudied and is excluded from the new work cost etsimate. The estimated cost of this portion is $6,470,000 (July 1954). The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $100,297. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 133, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. The River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946 (P. L. 525, 79th Cong., 2d sess., as extended by P. L. 240, 82d Cong., dated October 30, 1951), authorized the use for a period not to exceed 6 years, of funds from appropriations heretofore or hereafter made for maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors, for the maintenance of the canal from Cape May Harbor to Dela- ware Bay constructed as an emergency wartime project with Navy Department funds, including the cost of maintaining the temporary railroad and seashore highway bridges over the canal. Local coloperation. The project is subject to the conditions that the State of New Jersey cede to the United States all right, title, and interest that it has acquired to lands, easements, rights- of-way, and structures other than bridges for the Manasquan- Bayhead Canal; that the State of New Jersey furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and disposal areas required for construction of the Cape May Canal and for improvement of the proposed waterway and for their subsequent maintenance; that local interests provide, maintain, and operate suitable bridges over the waterway; that the State of New Jersey donate to the United tSates the navigation aids in use on the present New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway; and that RIVERS AND HARBORS - PHILADELPHIA, PENNA., DISTRICT 241 the State of New Jersey hold and save the United States and its agents free from any claims for damages resulting from the work of improvement. Compliance with these conditions was com- pleted January 15, 1954, except that local interests are required to furnish disposal areas for the construction and the subsequent maintenance of the proposed improvement. Terminal facilities. There are numerous piers, wharves, and docks at resorts located at or adjacent to the waterway, most of which are open to general public use, and fuel, water, and other supplies are readily available. Public and privately owned boat basins are located in a number of streams entering the bays and thoroughfares through which the waterway passes. Boat repair and storage yards with marine railways for small craft are also scattered along the waterway. Transfer facilities, including facilities for icing, storing, and shipping food fish, are available at most of the larger communities along the waterway, including Atlantic City, Wildwood, and Cape May. The plants at the two latter places have direct railroad connections. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance, con- tract: Costs of $124 were incurred for repairs to bulkhead com- pleted April 22, 1960. Other miscellaneous contract costs were: $337 for installation of safety ladders; and $21 for repairs to fence. Maintenance, hired labor: Costs of $3,779 were incurred for real estate management. )of The cost of all work was $4,261 for maintenance. Condition at end fiscal year. The existing project was about 25 percent complete. A canal 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from Cape May Harbor to Delaware Bay was completed in 1942; two parallel stone jetties at the Delaware Bay entrance and a tem- porary highway drawbridge in 1943; and a temporary highway drawbridge and a railroad bridge in 1944, all with Navy Depart- ment funds. The work remaining to be done, the dredging of a channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from the Atlantic Ocean at Manasquan Inlet to Cape May Harbor, has been deferred for restudy.

The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $1,603,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for improvements auth- orized under the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 and prior acts. The River and Harbor Act approved July 3, 1958 requires that local interests agree to (a) furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas necessary for construction and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the project; and (c) provide and maintain all necessary alterations in sewer, water supply, drainage, and other utilities. Local interests have given informal assurance that the terms of local cooperation will be complied with. Terminal facilities. The Port of Baltimore consists of 46 miles of waterfront, 30 miles of which are developed. There are 271 piers, wharves, and docks in Baltimore Harbor with depths in the berthing areas ranging up to 40 feet at mean low water. Most deep-draft shipping, other than that handled at the wharves of the numerous industrial plants, is concentrated at the modern ocean terminals operated by three trunkline railroads, the Balti- more & Ohio, the Pennsylvania, and the Western Maryland; and by a terminal railroad, the Canton. All of these terminals are equipped with depressed or apron tracks permitting the transfer of cargoes directly between ship and car. Facilities also are provided at the rail terminals for the receipt and delivery of motor truck freight. The railroads, with tracks extending to all portions of the port area, have voluntarily granted 5 days free time on piers to truck freight on both imports and exports. The supporting yards for the railroad terminals can accommodate a total of 11,800 cars and the combined ground storage capacity is 32,250 cars. Major facilities in the port include 3 grain elevators with a total capacity of approximately 13 million bushels, 15 RIVERS AND HARBORS - BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 259 modern ore cranes with a total rated unloading capacity of more than 11,000 tons per hour, 30 public general-merchandise ware- houses, 3 modern cold-storage facilities, 4 coal piers, 28 oil- handling and bunkering terminals and 2 refining plants, and 12 shipbuilding and ship repair yards. The shipbuilding and repair yards are equipped with facilities for handling every type of vessel construction, conversion, and repair. The facilities in- clude 11 shipways ranging in length from 150 to 650 feet, 7 floating drydocks with lifting capacities of from 6,000 tons to 22,000 tons, 2 graving docks and 15 marine railways in addition to numerous outfitting piers and shops. All piers were accessible by adequate paved highways. A municipally owned beltline rail- way some 3 miles long encircles the upper end of the inner harbor and connects the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio, Penn- sylvania, and Western Maryland Railroads. The latest descrip- tion of terminal facilities is contained in the publication entitled "Port Series No. 10 (Revised 1955)" on the Port of Baltimore, Md., issued by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - --BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 267 basin at the upper end, is considered to be an inactive portion of the project and is excluded from the foregoing estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1956 and was estimated to be $22,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for the section of the project from Pocomoke Sound to Pocomoke River and from Shad Landing to the highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized by the acts of June 3, 1896, and August 30, 1935, except that local in- terests are required to furnish releases from damage to oyster beds and spoil-disposal areas as required for future maintenance. The terms of local cooperation for the section of the project above the highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized by the Act of March 2, 1945, require that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent main- tenance, when and as required; hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement; and contribute one-half the initial cost of that portion of the project, but not to exceed $4,250. This portion of the project is considered to be inactive. The terms of local cooperation for the 11-foot depth channel from Pocomoke Sound to deep water in Pocomoke River above Williams Point authorized by the act of September 3, 1954, re- quire that local interests provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas nec- essary 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 mainte- nance of the project, including such damage as may occur to public or leased oysterbeds. It is believed that these conditions will be met. Terminal facilities. The waterfronts at Pocomoke City and Snow Hill are built up principally with earthfilled timber bulk- heads, the majority of which are privately owned. A few of the warehouses and factories situated on the river at these communi- ties have railroad sidings and mechanical freight-handling facili- ties. Any appreciable increase in commerce at Pocomoke City or Snow Hill would necessitate the construction of new facilities and repair of existing structures. Adequate space is available for development of additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of completing record drawing for dredging in the section of the channel connecting "The Muds" and Pocomoke River, completed June 30, 1959. The total costs, all for maintenance were $485. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 26 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is construc- tion of a channel 11 feet deep from Pocomoke Sound to Pocomoke River above Williams Point, and extension of the dike along the south side of the channel to Tulls Point. The controlling depths, at mean low water, were 6 feet through "The Muds" to deep water in the river on the east side of Williams Point, ascertained in June 1959; 9 feet in the section in Pocomoke River from Shad 268 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

This is a tidal channel about 1 mile long, extending from Tangier Island, Va., in a northeasterly direction to deep water in Tangier Sound, Chesapeake Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1223.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 8 feet deep at mean low water and 100 feet wide from the 8-foot contour in Tangier Sound to day marker No. 4, and thence 8 feet deep and 60 feet wide to the town of Tangier, with an anchorage basin ad- jacent to the town 400 feet square and 7 feet deep. The length of the section included in the project is about 1 mile, its lower end extending into Tangier Sound. The mean range of tide is 1.7 feet and the extreme tidal range is 4.7 feet. The Federal cost of new work for the completed project was $72,969. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $11,620. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. 107, 63d Cong., 1st sess.) ; changes in channel and anchorage dimensions were authorized by the Public Works Administration January 3, 1934, and by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 51, 72d Cong., 2d sess.), and modified by the, River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 141, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). These documents contain the latest published maps. Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except that local in- terests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. There are three privately owned pile-and- timber piers and a small marine railway adjacent to the west side of the anchorage basin at Tangier. The piers are generally open to the public when not in use by the owners. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging, by contract, to restore project dimensions in the chan- nel began January 1, 1960 and was completed January 13, 1960, RIVERS AND HARBORS - -BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 269 A total of 49,000 cubic yards of material, place measure, was removed and deposited ashore in authorized spoil-disposal areas. The total costs, all for maintenance, were $29,746. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1948 and restored in 1954, 1957 and 1960. The con- trolling depths, at mean low water, were 8 feet in the approach channel from Tangier Sound, ascertained in January 1960; 9.1 feet in the entrance to the channel and 7.0 feet in the basin, ascertained in January 1957. The total costs were $220,063, of which $30,969 (regular funds) and $42,000 (public works funds), were for new work and $147,094 (regular funds) was for main- tenance.

WATERWAY ON THE COAST OF VIRGINIA Location. The waterway lies between the barrier beach along the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Virginia portion of the mainland peninsula on the west. It extends from the south end of Chincoteague Bay through a number of creeks, thoroughfares and bays, to enter Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity of Fisherman Inlet, just south of Cape Charles, the southern tip of the penin- sula, for a distance of 83.7 miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts, Nos. 1220, 1221, and 1222.) Existing project. This provides for an inland waterway 6 feet deep and 60 feet wide from Chesapeake Bay to Chincoteague Bay, Va. The mean range of tide is about 3 feet. Greater fluc- tuations in water level are caused by high winds and storms. The cost of new work for the completed project was $850,498. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $10,920. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 957, 60th Cong., 1st sess.), and modi- fied by the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 268, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with except that local in- terests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. The larger towns in the area adjacent to the route of the desired improvement have fairly substantial pile- and-timber wharves which are used primarily by boats engaged in the seafood business. There are also a number of small land- ings scattered along the shore between the towns. The Pennsyl- 270 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 vania Railroad owns and operates a water terminal at Franklin City. There are also wharves at the various Coast Guard sta- tions in the area. All of the wharves are privately owned, but are open to the public for transaction of business with the owners. No mechanical freight handling facilities are available. The ter- minals are adequate for existing commerce. A material increase in commerce which would follow the proposed improvement makes desirable but not essential the erection of adequate ter- minals at Chincoteague, Wachapreague, Willis Wharf, and Oyster. Adequate public facilities are available at Ocean City. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredg- ing, by continuing contract, to restore project dimensions in a 4,800-foot long reach of the entrance channel at the southerly limit of the project in Chesapeake Bay, and from a 2,500-foot long reach at the south end of Metomkin Bay began June 6, 1960 and was in progress at the end of the fiscal year. A total of 34,900 cubic yards of material, place measure, was removed and de- posited in approved spoil-disposal areas. The total costs, all for maintenance, were $31,968.

The modification of the project, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 which provides for raising the north jetty to an elevation of 9 feet above mean low water, and a channel 300 feet wide and 16 feet deep from the ocean through the inlet to the Isle of Wight Bay channel, thence 200 feet wide and 16 feet deep to the project harbor, and a depth of 14 feet in the project harbor, is considered to be an inactive portion of the project and is excluded from the foregoing estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1957, and was estimated to be $704,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except that local in- terests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. The facilities on the bay side of Ocean City include 2 storage basins, for pleasure and small commercial craft, and numerous privately owned pile-and-timber piers and bulk- head wharves. Facilities at the project harbor include a public landing about 1,000 feet long, several privately constructed bulk- head wharves, open to the public for transaction of business with the owners, and a boat-repair yard with a marine railway ca- pable of handling boats up to about 150 tons. The project harbor is served by the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway, which has a spur line parallel to the harbor on the north side about 200 feet away. All the piers and wharves are accessible by highway. Adequate space is presently available for expan- sion of facilities as required. Terminal facilities for the channel across Sinepuxent Bay to Assateague Island consist of a county-owned timber-bulkhead landing at both the South Point and Assateague Island termini of the channel. Adequate space is available for expansion of these facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year. A contract was awarded in June 1960 for repairs to the steel-sheet-pile bulkhead on the north side of the inlet. The total costs, all for mainte- nance, were $1,382. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1936.

NANTICOKE RIVER, BIVALVE, WICOMICO COUNTY, MD. Location. Bivalve is on the east bank of Nanticoke River, a tidal arm of Tangier Sound on the east side of Chesapeake Bay. It is 6 miles above the mouth of the river and about 113 miles by water from Baltimore. Jacksons Gut is a slough through a marshland about one-quarter mile north of Bivalve. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1224.) Existing project. This provides for a protected anchorage basin in Jacksons Gut 7 feet deep at mean low water, 150 feet wide, and 350 feet long and an approach channel of like depth, 60 feet wide and about 1,400 feet long, extending from the 7-foot depth in Nanticoke River, protected by twin rock jetties about 1,000 feet long extending from the shore to the 4-foot depth in the river. The mean range of tide in the vicinity of Bivalve is about 2.5 feet. The estimate of Federal cost for new work, revised in 1959, is $270,000. The portion of the project which provides for extension of the anchorage basin from 350 feet to 550 feet in length is con- sidered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing esti- mate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1958, and was estimated to be $14,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 91, 82d Cong., 1st sess.). Map of the locality is printed in this document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with except that local in- RIVERS AND HARBORS - -BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 275 terests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. There are at present two timber-pile wharves located in a bulkhead area in the Nanticoke River at Bivalve. The bulkhead has deteriorated extensively due to the original use of untreated timber piling and sheathing. One, a county wharf, is at the northeast corner of the area and the other near the southeast corner is at a seafood packing house. There are no wharves at Jacksons Gut. Sufficient areas are avail- able for the construction of additional terminals by private in- terests. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work dredg- ing, by contract, began October 7, 1959 and was completed Oc- tober 21, 1959. A total of 56,640 cubic yards of material, place measure, was removed and deposited on approval spoil-disposal areas ashore. Construction of the twin rock jetties by contract, began November 10, 1959 and was in progress at the end of the fiscal year. A total of 12,375 tons of stone has been placed. The total costs, all for new work, were $215,858. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 95 percent complete. The channel and anchorage basin were com- pleted in October 1959 and the south jetty was completed in June 1960. The work remaining to be done is completion of the north jetty. The controlling depth was 7 feet in the approach channel and anchorage basin in Jacksons Gut ascertained in Oc- tober 1959. The total costs, all for new work, were $224,654.

Betterton is situated on the east side of Chesapeake Bay where the Sassafras River, a tidal estuary, joins the bay. The community is about 18 miles by water south of Chesapeake City and about 35 miles by water northeast of Baltimore. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 1226 and 572.) Existing project. The entire project, which provides for an entrance channel 7 feet deep at mean low water, 100 feet wide, and about 800 feet long from the 7-foot depth curve in Sassafras River to an inner anchorage basin 7 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and 500 feet long in Gut Marsh, with the channel protected on 276 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 its westerly side by a stone jetty about 350 feet long, is con- sidered to be inactive. The mean range of tide is about 1.7 feet; however, greater fluctuations are caused by high winds. The Federal cost of the inactive project, last revised in 1959, was $100,000. It was authorized by the River and Harbor Act ap- proved July 3, 1958. (H. Doc. 333, 84th Cong., 2d sess.) This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Local interests are required to furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for new work and subse- quent maintenance when and as required; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the project; provide and maintain, without cost to the United States, a public landing with adequate access thereto, open to all on equal terms; dedicate to public use a strip of land 50 feet wide on the north, south and west sides of the basin; and establish a public body to regulate the use of the recommended improvements. Local interests, on May 18, 1960, formally indicated that they cannot comply with the terms of local cooperation. Terminal facilities. There is a rehabilitated portion of a pier for unloading fish from commercial fishing boats and an amuse- ment pier, approximately 300 feet long with a storage shed at the outer end, on the easterly side. Gasoline, oil, water and limited berthing space are available. There are also several small private piers along the shoreline between the amusement pier and Gut Marsh. Gut Marsh is overgrown with brush and con- tains no terminal facilities but sufficient areas for construction of such facilities are available. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of preconstruction planning and negotiations with local interests in connection with compliance with the terms of local coopera- tion. The total cost, for new work, was $3,482. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project is considered to be inactive. The total cost of preconstruction planning, for new work, was $3,482.

YORK, CODORUS CREEK, PA. Location. York, Pa., is on Codorus Creek, 10 miles above its confluence with the main Susquehanna River. Codorus Creek 284 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 with its tributary branches is located in York County in the south and central parts of Pennsylvania. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle sheets, "Pennsylvania-York and Hanover.") Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of Indian Rock Dam, an earth and rockfill dam about 1,000 feet long at the top, rising 83 feet above the streambed, with a reservoir providing for the controlled storage of 28,000 acre- feet at the elevation of the spillway crest. The damsite is lo- cated on the main branch of Codorus Creek about 3 miles above York. The outlet works are located in the right abutment and the uncontrolled spillway is located on the right bank, discharg- ing upstream from the tunnel outlet. The reservoir will control the entire drainage area of the main branch of Codorus Creek and 41 percent of the drainage area above York. The plan also provides for improvements to Codorus Creek channel in the vicin- ity of and through the city of York for a distance of about 22,969 feet extending from 300 feet above Richland Avenue to a point downstream from the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing known as Black Bridge. The improvements, which will increase the channel capacity to 24,000 cubic feet per second, include widening and deepening the channel, constructing bank protec- tion, removing the York Roller Mill Dam, and the construction of a low water channel approximately 3,900 feet in length in the vicinity of the York Roller Mill Dam. The improvement will provide protection for the city of York against a flood discharge approximately 33 percent greater than the maximum flood of record, which occurred in August 1933. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936, as amended by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The cost of new work for the completed project was $5,061,167, of which $4,566,446 (regular funds) and $11,588 (emergency relief funds) was for construction and $483,133 (regular funds) was for lands and damages. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $34,564. Local cooperation. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Normal operation and maintenance of the project was continued by hired labor. Final cost in connection with acquisition of lands was made with maintenance funds. The total costs, all for maintenance, were $35,829. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was operationally complete in November 1947 and the remaining construction fea- tures were completed in September 1952 and November 1955. The total costs were $5,466,607, of which $5,049,579 (regular funds) and $11,588 (emergency relief funds) were for new work and $405,440 was for maintenance.

Washington Harbor is located within the District of Columbia at the junction of the Anacostia River with the Potomac River which flows in a southeasterly direction 108 miles to the Chesapeake Bay. It is southerly 202 miles by water from Baltimore, Md., and northerly 195 miles from Norfolk, Va. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 560.) Previous projects., The original project for the Potomac River was adopted by the River and Harbor Acts of March 2, 1833, July 11, 1870, and August 2, 1882. For further details, see page 1791 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 295 of Annual Re- port for 1934. The River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1890, authorized an allotment for work on the Anacostia River; joint resolution of Congress of April 11, 1898, made appropriation for a survey; and a project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 87, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and An- nual Report for 1899, p. 1443). For further details see page 430 of the Annual Report for 1932 and page 421 of Annual Report of 1938. Existing project. This project is a combination and extension of the latest projects for the Potomac River at Washington, D. C., and the Anacostia River, D. C. The project provides for: (1) Virginia Channel, from Giesboro Point to Francis Scott Key 287 288 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Bridge, 24 feet deep and 400 feet wide, with the width increased as necessary to afford a low water cross section area of 25,000 square feet; (2) Washington Channel, from Hains Point to the head of Washington Channel, 24 feet deep and 400 feet wide; (3) Anacostia River from Giesboro Point to Anacostia Bridge, 24 feet deep and 400 feet wide, with turning basin 800 feet wide and approximately 2,400 feet long of same depth opposite the Naval Weapons Plant; (4) Anacostia River from Anacostia Bridge, 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide to turning basin 400 feet square of same depth at foot of 15th Street SE. The channel lengths including turning basins are: Virginia Channel, 25,000 feet; Washington Channel, 10,000 feet; and Anacostia River, 15,000 feet; (5) operation and maintenance of the inlet gates and lock and the outlet gates of the Tidal Basin constructed under a previous project to flush the Washington Channel. The plane of reference is low water datum which is 0.35 foot below mean low tide as observed from 1932 to 1942. Tidal ranges are: Mean, 2.9 feet; irregular, 4.5 feet; and extreme, 10.7 feet. The estimate of cost to the Federal Government for new work, revised in 1955, is $572,000, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $135,716. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors, Committee Doc. 22, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published maps are in the project document. Local cooperation. Not required. Terminal facilities. There are four wharves generally of the bulkhead type on the Virginia Channel that are privately owned and not open to the public except by special arrangement. On the Washington Channel there are four piers under jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, two of which are open to the public and one of which is open to the public by special arrangement. In the Anacostia River there are four privately owned piers and eight governmental piers and slips. None of the piers is open to the public except by special arrangement. Terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. The Tidal Basin gates were repaired and operated by hired labor throughout the year at a cost of $8,659. Maintenance dredging was performed by a continuing con- tract in the Anacostia River from Giesboro Point to the Anacostia Bridge from April to June 30, 1960. A total of 388,282 cubic yards of material was dredged from the channel and turning basin and deposited in the disposal area at Fox Ferry, Md., at a cost of $211,139. Dredging operations were still in progress on July 1, 1960. Costs during the year for work completed in the previous fiscal year for maintenance dredging in the Virginia Channel were $1,436. The cost of supervision and administration for the year was $510. RIVERS AND HARBORS - WASHINGTON, D. C., DISTRICT 289 Total cost for the year was $221,744, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was started in April 1937 and was about 50 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The channels and basins in the Anacostia River are complete and those at the forks of the channel at Hains Point are partially complete. Except for dredging between the limits of 2,000 feet above and 3,000 feet below the Memo- rial Bridge, no new work has been done downstream of Key Bridge in Virginia Channel.

The waterchestnut, botanically known as Trapa natans, is an annual fresh-water plant infesting the navigable 290 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 portions of the Potomac River and its tributaries between Key Bridge in the District of Columbia and Maryland Point, 48 miles downstream of Washington, D. C. Washington, D. C., is located 108 miles upstream of the mouth of the river. At the height of infestation in 1939, it covered about 10,000 acres of navigable waters between these limits. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Sur- vey Charts Nos. 559 and 560.) Existing project. This provides a plan for complete eradica- tion of the waterchestnut from the Potomac River and its tribu- taries at and below Washington, D. C., by (1) 4 years of me- chanical cutting in heavily infested areas with manual removal of scattered plants; (2) 3 years of intensive patrol and manual removal of scattered plants; (3) 2 years of concentrated patrol during the growing season; (4) 6 years of patrolling the entire area every 2 years. The tidal ranges are: Mean, 1.1 feet at Maryland Point and 2.9 feet at Washington; irregular, 2 feet at Maryland Point and 4.5 feet at Washington; extreme, approxi- mately 7.5 feet at Maryland Point and 10.7 feet at Washington. The estimate of cost to the Federal Government, made in 1947, was $142,000, which is the total of annual costs over a 15-year period, decreasing from $32,000 during the first year to $3,500 for the ninth year and an average of $1,000 for each of the 6 years thereafter. This is an average of $9,467 annually for the 15 years. If a longer period is required, the average annual cost for each subsequent year is estimated to be $1,000. The work is maintenance. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 113, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Operations and results during fiscal year. Removal of water- chestnut growth was in progress during July 1959 in the follow- ing areas: Washington Harbor, Potomac River at Alexandria, Va., Potomac River at Mount Vernon, Va., Occoquan Creek, Va., and Potomac River below Washington, D.C., by Government plant and hired labor at a total cost for the year of $5,799 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work on the elimination of waterchestnut has been in progress since 1939 under allotments for maintenance of five existing river and harbor projects. Prior to the adoption of this project and through the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, a total of 25,000 acres of the growth has been cut and recut from the Potomac River and its tributaries between Washington, D. C. and Maryland Point. All infested areas have been cut at least once. Two years of mechanical cutting in heavily infested areas and manual removal of scattered plants as listed for accomplishment under the eradication schedule for the existing project have been completed under maintenance of other existing river and harbor projects prior to adoption of the eradication project. Prior to the adoption of the project and through the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, maintenance funds in the amount of $310,187 were expended for removal of waterchestnut. This RIVERS AND HARBORS - WASHINGTON, D. C., DISTRICT 291 amount includes $10,000 allotted under Section 3, of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1950, and $10,000 allotted under Sec- tion 3 of the River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, to 10 tributaries of the Potomac River, and the following maintenance funds from existing river and harbor projects in the affected area: Washington Harbor, D. C., $19,726; Potomac River at Alexandria, Va., $22,023; Potomac River below Washington, D. C., $200,937; Potomac River at Mount Vernon, Va., $18,202; and Occoquan Creek, Va., $29,300. In addition, a total of $101,162 contributed by the U.S. Public Health Service was expended. Total costs for the existing project were $129,725, all for maintenance.

POTOMAC RIVER BELOW WASHINGTON, D. C. Location. The Potomac River is formed 21 miles below Cum- berland, Md., and flows southeasterly about 285 miles and enters Chesapeake Bay, about 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Wash- ington, D.C., is located 108 miles upstream of the mouth, and the head of tidewater is at mile 117. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 557, 558, 559, and 560.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide between the mouth of the river and Giesboro Point at Washington, D.C., a distance of 108 miles. The plane of reference is mean low water. Tidal ranges are: Mean, 1.3 feet at the mouth, 2.9 feet at Washington; irregular, 2 feet at the mouth, 4.5 feet at Washington; extreme, approximately 6 feet at the mouth, 10.7 feet at Washington. The cost to the Federal Government for new work for the completed project, was $153,836. The average annual mainte- nance cost during the past 5 years was $71,001. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899 (H. Doc. 33, 52d Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1902, page 1038, and in House Document 859, 60th Congress, 1st session. Terminal facilities. In general, the improvement is a main river channel, and terminal facilities are only served where the channel runs close to either bank of the river. In all, 11 wharves are thus served. These wharves are of open. and solid fill con- struction and bulkhead type. The facilities are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. Maintenance dredging by continuing contract at Nanjemoy and Smith-Mary- land Point started in May 1960 and was in progress at the end 292 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 of the fiscal year. A total of 522,000 cubic yards of material was dredged from the channel and deposited into adjacent disposal areas at a cost of $204,809. Total cost for the year was $204,809, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was started in March 1900 and completed in June 1905.

HERRING CREEK, MD. Location. Herring Creek in St. Marys County, Md., is a small tidal stream 13/4 miles in length which flows in a westerly direc- tion and enters the north bank of the Potomac River 16 miles upstream of its mouth at Chesapeake Bay and 92 miles down- stream from Washington, D.C. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 557.) Existing project. This provides for an entrance channel 6 feet deep, 60 feet wide, and approximately 1,630 feet long extending from deep water in the Potomac River to deep water within the creek, a turning basin of irregular shape 6 feet deep adjacent to the proposed public wharf, and riprap stone jetties on the up- stream and downstream sides of the entrance channel 770 and 650 feet long, respectively. The plane of reference is mean low RIVERS AND HARBORS - WASHINGTON, D. C., DISTRICT 293 water. The tidal ranges are: Mean, 1.6 feet; irregular, 1.9 feet; and extreme, approximately 7 feet. The estimate of cost for new work to the Federal Government revised in 1960 was $274,480. The latest (1960) approved esti- mated for annual cost of maintenance is $4,000. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. No. 159, 84th Congo, 1st sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. The existing project was approved subject to the provisions that local interests (a) contribute in cash an amount equivalent to 3.5 percent of the initial cost of the im- provement; (b) provide without cost to the United States, when and as required all lands, easements, rights-of-way and spoil dis- posal areas necessary for the construction and subsequent main- tenance of the project; (c) hold and save the United States free from damages to oyster beds or other property resulting from the improvement; and (d) provide and maintain at local expense an adequate public wharf and adjacent public landing and park- ing area open to all on equal terms. All items of local cooperation have been fully complied with except that local interests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance and construct a public wharf and parking area. Terminal facilities. There are a number of small wharves and landings within the creek, all privately owned. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys and plans and specifications were completed during the year and a contract to complete the project was awarded in June 1960.

Rappahannock River rises in the Blue Ridge Moun- tains in Virginia, and flows southeasterly about 212 miles to enter Chesapeake Bay, about 40 miles north of Old Point Com- fort, Va. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts No. 534, 535, and 536.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified in 1879. For further details see page 1793 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 433 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 200-feet wide between the mouth and Port Royal and 12-feet deep and 100-feet wide between Port Royal and Fredericksburg by dredging and the construction of 20,401 feet of crib and pile dikes and 1,906 feet of riprap stone dikes, being designed to retain the excavated material deposited behind them. The length of waterway included in the project is 107 miles. The plan of reference is mean low water. Tidal ranges are: Mean, 2.8 feet at Fredericksburg, 1.6 feet at Tappahannock; irregular, 3.5 feet at Fredericksburg, 2.5 feet at Tappahannock; extreme, 6 feet at Fredericksburg, 5 feet at Tappahannock. The cost to the Federal Government for new work for the completed project was $217,487, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $36,098. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report for 1906, pp. 1110-1113). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1910, page 1364. Terminal facilities. In the section under improvement extend- ing from Fredericksburg, Va., to Tappahannock Va., a distance of 65 miles, there are 26 wharves, of which 9 are solid bulkhead type and 17 are open-pile structures. From Tappahannock to the mouth there are 15 open-pile wharves. Most of the wharves are open to the public. The terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Snagging and clear- ing operations in the channel above Port Royal, Va., were per- formed by hired labor with the U.S. Derrickboat Benning from October to December 1959 at a cost of $49,479, all maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was started in July 1908 and completed in April 1910. The controlling depth was 9.5 feet at Upper and Lower Spottswood Bar in June 1960. Total costs for the existing project were $1,441,024, of which $217,487 was for new work and $1,223,537 was for main- tenance, which includes $995 for Parrotts Creek and $1,000 e~ach RIVERS AND HARBORS - -WASHINGTON, D.

MAINTENANCE, OPERATION, AND CAPITAL OUTLAY OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT Location. The diversion dam and raw-water supply intakes are located on the Potomac River at Great Falls 131/2 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.; the two collecting conduits, part of the Dalecarlia receiving reservoir, and the booster pumping plant that lifts the water from the forebay to the main body of the Dalecarlia reservoir and the Little Falls raw-water supply works are located in Maryland; and all other structures of the water supply system including part of the raw-water collecting sys- tem, the purification plants, pumping station, storage reservoirs, and transmission mains are located in the District of Columbia (See U.S. Geological quadrangle, Washington and Vicinity.) The control of the water supply system is vested in the Chief of Engineers (See acts of Mar. 3, 1859, and Mar. 2, 1867, and Sec. 1800 of Revised Statutes.) Existing project. The existing project provides for (a) Admin- istration, operation, maintenance, and protection of the water- supply system facilities and reservations including collection, purification, pumping, transmission, storage facilities, and Fed- eral water mains, and (b) the planning and construction of in- creased supply facilities in accordance with House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session, dated August 15, 1945, as provided in Public Law 533, 81st Congress, chapter 218, 2d session, H. R. RIVERS AND HARBORS - WASHINGTON, D. C., DISTRICT 297 8578, approved June 2, 1950, and as provided in Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, chapter 218, H. R. 8097, approved May 18, 1954. By act, Public Law 378, 64th Congress, approved March 3, 1917, the furnishing of water to adjacent Maryand areas from the District of Columbia water system was authorized by Con- gress; by act, Public Law 119, 69th Congress, approved April 14, 1926, the furnishing of water to Arlington County, Va., from the District of Columbia water system was authorized by Congress; and, by act, Public Law 118, 80th Congress, 1st ses- sion, approved June 26, 1947, the furnishing of water to Falls Church or any other competent State or local authority in the Virginia metropolitan area, similarly, was authorized. A description of the District of Columbia water supply system and of previous capital-improvement and operation-and-mainte- nance projects is printed on pages 2206-2208 and 2218-2220 of the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers, 1930; in an infor- mation pamphlet published June 1939 and revised December 1950; and in House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. Prior to July 1, 1880, the expenses of the Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and mainte- nance were paid wholly out of the revenues of the United States. From July 1, 1880, to June 30, 1882, the expenses of operation and maintenance were paid one-half by the United States and the other half out of the general revenues of the District of Co- lumbia. From July 1, 1882, to June 30, 1898, one-half of con- struction costs were charged to a capital account on the books of the Treasury to be repaid by the District of Columbia from water rents with interest at 3 percent. From July 1, 1898, to June 30, 1916, the expenses of construction, operation, and main- tenance were paid one-half from surplus general revenues of the District of Columbia and the other half from the United States Treasury. From July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1927, the expenses of construction were paid 60 percent out of the general revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. From July 1, 1927, to date, all expenses for construction have been paid out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1916, to date, the expenses of operation and maintenance have been paid wholly out of the water revenues of the District of Columbia. From April, 1953, to June 30, 1960, the sum of $13,900,000 was borrowed from the United States Treasury, in installments, to finance the expansion and improvement of the District of Columbia water system as authorized by Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, approved June 2, 1950, and as amended by Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, approved May 18, 1954. By Public Law 280, 66th Congress, 2d session, approved June 10, 1920, the sum of $25,000 was appropriated wholly from United States revenues to prepare, among other things, a re- port to assure an increased and adequate water supply for the District of Columbia. The report submitted, known as the Tyler report, was the basis for the improvements constructed from 298 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 1922 to 1927. Included in the District of Columbia appropriation acts of 1941 and 1942, approved June 12, 1940, and July 1, 1941, respectively, a total of $40,000 was appropriated from the water fund, District of Columbia, for the preparation of a report "for the development of a plan to insure an adequate future water supply for the District of Columbia." This report, published as House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session, contains the comprehensive plan and program for the improvements and additions to the water system. Annually, since July 1, 1920, on a percentage basis and, since July 1, 1924, on a lump-sum basis, the United States has con- tributed to the support of the District of Columbia but, prior to July 1, 1947, no part of such annual percentage of lump-sum contribution has been allocated to the water fund, District of Columbia. Beginning with the fiscal year 1948 and continuing through June 30, 1954, pursuant to Public Law 195, 80th Congress, 1st session, approved July 16, 1947, an annual amout of $1,000,000 was authorized for water consumed by the Federal Government. Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, approved May 18, 1954, which is known as the "District of Columbia Public Works Act of 1954," provided for payment by the Government of the United States for all water and water services furnished, and increased the authority for borrowing. Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, approved June 2, 1950, authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to lend, with a limit of $23,000,000, to the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia such sums as may hereafter be appropriated to finance expansion and improvement of the water system when sufficient funds therefor are not available from the District of Columbia Water Fund established by law (D.C. code 1940 edition, title 1943, ch. 15.) The above public law was amended by Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, approved May 18, 1954, by strik- ing the figures "23,000,000" and inserting in lieu thereof the figures "35,000,000." Operations and results during the fiscal year. An uninter- rupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia; to Arlington County, Va., and Falls Church, Va.; and to Federal establishments in Arlington County, Va., and in Montgomery and Prince Georges County, Md. The total consumption for the year was 59,046,940,000 gallons; the maximum daily consumption was 239,222,000 gallons and the average daily consumption was 161,330,000 gallons. Based upon the estimated average number of consumers of 880,000 in the District of Columbia and 220,000 in Arlington County, the aver- age per capita daily consumption was 147 gallons. The average daily consumption in the District of Columbia alone was 140,761,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 160 gallons. The average daily amount of water furnished to Arlington County and Falls Church, Va., was 20,140,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 92 gallons. The gross cost of $757,740.07 for the supply of water furnished Vir- RIVERS AND HARBORS - WASHINGTON, D. C., DISTRICT 299 ginia communities was reimbursed to the Water Fund, D.C. The average daily consumption of water in all Federal Government establishments including parks, zoological garden, etc., was 30,198,762 gallons. A total of 157,198,000 gallons or an average of 429,000 gallons per day was delivered to Maryland communi- ties during the fiscal year 1960 by the Water Division, D.C., through connections to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Com- mission's system. On June 23, 1952, fluoridation equipment was put in service and the application of sodium silicofluoride started and has been continued throughout fiscal year 1960. The average turbidity of the raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 48 units to 0.0 units. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 130,189 tubes of water taken from 137 sampling points in the collection, purification, and distribu- tion systems. After sterilization of the filter effluent, the average most probable number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was found to be 0.04 at Dalecarlia and 0.01 at the McMillan filter plant. The average calcium carbonate alkalinity of the filtered water was 62 parts per million and the average pH value was 8.0 from the Dalecarlia filter plant, and 61 and 8.0, respectively, from the McMillan filter plant. The average hardness was 109 parts per million from Dalecarlia and 104 parts per million from McMillan. Fluorine content of 4,370 water samples was deter- mined. In fiscal year 1960, the direct operating cost of water treated and delivered to the system per million gallons was $42.79 as compared with the cost of $43.26 per million gallons in fiscal year 1959.

During the year, there was a total of 1,096 persons conducted through the water treatment and pumping plants and the bacteriological and chemical laboratories of which 1,066 were engineering and science students, public school pupils and public officials, and 30 were foreign visitors. Control. All funds were expended in conformity with the legis- lative provision contained in the annual appropriation act which is as follows: "Nothing herein shall be construed as affecting the superintendence and control of the Secretary of the Army over the Washington Aqueduct, its rights, appurtenances, and fixtures connected with the same, and over ap- propriations and expenditures therefor as now provided by law." Condition at end of fiscal year. The intakes, conduits, reser- voirs, filter plants, pumping stations, mechanical equipment, and structures were in good condition generally. During maximum demand periods in 1960, the recently completed Little Falls raw- 300 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 water pumping station was operated to augment the raw water supply of gravity flow conduits. In order to accommodate the construction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway by the U.S. Park Service, the gravity-flow conduits were out of service, one at a time, and this new station also supplied the additional raw water required. The construction of the reinforced- concrete fishway through the new Little Falls diversion dam at Snake Island was completed on February 2, 1960 and placed in operation in fiscal year 1960. A large steel orifice plate flow meter was installed in the 9-foot circular conduit conveying water between the Dalecarlia receiving reservoir and the George- town sedimentation basin. Construction of a gatehouse super- structure over the 30 million gallon reservoir control sluice gates was initiated in February 1960 and completion is scheduled in July. A feature of the new circulating facilities for Second High Reservoir consisting of reinforced-concrete vault structure and control cone valve was constructed adjacent to the reservoir. The Notice of Award for the construction of the new Dalecar- lia filter and chemical buildings was issued on June 28, 1960, and the estimated construction period is 960 days. Construction work authorized with "no year" funds not pre- viously reported as completed was as follows: Circulating facilities in 1st and 2d High Service reservoirs 85 percent; modification to provide quality control of filtered water 67 percent; Dalecarlia pumping station, intake, conduit, and control chamber 100 percent; conduit repairs (periodic) 100 percent; acquisition of supplementary land 100 percent; Little Falls pumping station dam and tunnel 99 percent; Little Falls Fishways 97 percent; and utility relocations and system inter- connections 75 percent. The preparation of plans for capital outlay projects for in- creasing the water supply, not previously reported as completed, progressed as follows: Dalecarlia filter and chemical buildings 100 percent; new chem- ical building and operating center at McMillan 90 percent; Floc- culation and Sedimentation Basin No. 3, 35 percent; Great Falls intake structure 10 percent; land acquisition 100 percent; con- duit repairs (periodic) 100 percent.

HAMPTON ROADS AND THE HARBORS OF NORFOLK AND NEWPORT NEWS, VA-COLLECTION AND REMOVAL OF DRIFT Location. Hampton Roads is a natural harbor located 300 miles south of New York and 180 miles south of Washington, D.C. Its principal tributaries are the James River, affording a natural deep harbor at Newport News, Va.; the Elizabeth River, with its Southern, Eastern, and Western Branches, pro- viding harbors for Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va.; and Hampton Creek serving the harbor at Hampton, Va. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 400 and 452.) Existing project. This provides for the collection and removal of drift in Hampton Roads and its tributary waters and author- izes the Secretary of the Army to allot such amounts as may be necessary for the work from appropriations for the maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor works or from other available appropriations, and that this work shall be car- ried on as a separate and 'distinct project. It is wholly a work of maintenance. The purpose of the work is to afford relief from variable conditions of obstruction, and no advance estimate of the amount of work required and its proper cost can be made. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $30,376. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, as specified in the act. Terminal facilities. For a description of the terminal facilities on this project see this heading under "Norfolk Harbor" and "Channel to Newport News, Va." Operations and results during fiscal year.

SUPERVISION OF THE HARBOR OF HAMPTON ROADS, VIRGINIA (PREVENTION OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND INJURIOUS DEPOSITS) Supervisor: Col. J. D. Snow, U.S. Army, from March 3, 1959. The laws enacted for the preservation of the Harbor of Hamp- ton Roads, Va., its adjacent and tributary waters, so much of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries as lies within the State of Virginia, and so much of the Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries as lies within the jurisdiction of the United States, within or to the east of the State of Virginia, are administered by the Supervisor of the Harbor of Hampton Roads. The laws relating to the supervision of the Harbor of Hampton Roads are the Act of Congress approved June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209) as amended by section 3 of the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360), section 8 of the River and Harbor Act of May 28, 1908 (35 Stat. 424, 426), Act of February 16, 1909 (35 Stat. 623) and Act of July 12, 1952 (66 Stat. 596); section 2 of the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360) and as amended August 28, 1958 (72 Stat. 970) ; Act of Congress approved March 3, 1899 (Refuse Act, 30 Stat. 1152) ; and Act of Congress approved June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 43 Stat. 604). Supervision was exercised by means of two patrol vessels for a total of 24 boat months and 45 man months of shore patrol and inspection. Commercial airplaines were utilized, to a limited extent, to patrol offshore from beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay during the critical beach resort season. Patrols were maintained to detect the illegal deposit into navi- gable waters of waste oil and sludge, refuse, and other types of debris from vessels and shore installations. An intensive educational program was developed with a view to preventing violations of the applicable Federal Acts. This pro- gram was effected through press releases, public talks, public notices and personal interviews with interested agencies, com- mittees, and private industries. Circular letters were forwarded RIVERS AND HARBORS - NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT 325 to fuel oil firms, railroad companies, shipping companies and agencies, enlisting their support in the anti-pollution campaign. Agreements were reached with the various Federal, State, and local agencies having related or similar responsibilities and func- tions to obtain the maximum results with minimum costs by elimination of duplication of effort. The total cost of all work during the fiscal year, including the cost of operating the patrol vessels and cars, airplane rental, inspections, and work of the office for the supervision of the Harbor of Hampton Roads to June 30, 1960, was $134,096.

This provides for a waterway 12 feet deep at mean low water, with bottom widths varying from 90 feet in land cuts to 300 feet in open waters; for the construction, opera- tion and maintenance of suitable bridges; for a channel 10 feet deep at mean low water and 90 feet wide on the bottom in New River between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge at Jacksonville, N.C., 21 miles; for a side channel 12 feet deep and 90 feet wide to a turning basin of the same depth, 200 feet wide and 350 feet long, opposite the prin- cipal wharves at Swansboro; for an entrance channel 6 feet deep and 90 feet wide at New River Inlet, with connecting channel of same dimensions to the nItracoastal Waterway near the mouth of New River; for a channel 14 feet deep and 400 feet wide across the ocean bar at Masonboro Inlet, thence 12 feet deep and 90 feet wide to the channel of the Intracoastal Waterway at Wrightsville by way of Banks and Motte Channels; a turning basin 15 feet deep having a maximum width of 300 feet and length of 700 feet on the east side of Banks Channel near Ma- sonboro Inlet, with three 15-pile dolphins therein; for an en- trance channel in Peltier Creek, 6 feet deep, 50 feet wide, from the Intracoastal Waterway in Bogue Sound to and including a basin in Peltier Creek, 6 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and 600 feet long; for a yacht basin 230 feet wide, 450 feet long, and 12 feet deep near the town of Southport, connected with the waterway by a suitable channel of the same depth; and for salt-water-intrusion preventive measures in the vicinity of Fairfield, N. C., as follows: Construction of a pumping plant and a dam, with control gates and appurtenant works on Fairfield Canal near the Intracoastal Waterway; restoration and enlargement where necessary of Boundary Canal from the vicinity of Swindell Canal to the vicin- ity of Baum Canal, together with appurtenant works necessary to cut off inflow from other areas; and construction of dams with automatic floodgates across Swindell, Florida, Burris, and Baum Canals near Mattamuskeet Lake. That portion of the waterway north of the mouth of Neuse River is nontidal; variation in the water surface, due to winds, seldom exceeds 2 feet above or below mean stage. In the sec- tion between Beaufort and Cape Fear River the normal tidal range varies from 31/2 feet at the inlets to 1 foot at points be- tween. The tidal range for New River varies from 31/ feet at New River Inlet to 1 foot at the head of the marshes, and nothing at Tar Landing, 31 miles above. The mean range of tide in the section from Cape Fear River, N.C., to Little River, S.C., varies between 4.7 feet in the Cape Fear River, 4 feet at inter- mediate inlets, and 2 feet at points midway between inlets. The tide reached an elevation of 17.6 feet on October 15, 1954, at Holden Beach. RIVERS AND HARBORS - -WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 339 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $10,134,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Those portions of the project, including the tidal lock in the land cut of the Intracoastal Waterway near the Cape Fear River, jetties at Masonboro Inlet, 6 mooring basins in the Intracoastal Waterway, the 12-foot by 90-foot channel in New River to and including a basin at Jacksonville, N.C., and the 12-foot by 90-foot entrance channel in Peltier Creek from the waterway in Bogue Sound to and including a basin in Peltier Creek, are inactive, or are to be restudied, and are excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The last approved costs for these portions were esti- mated to be: $1,750,000 (1954) for the tidal lock, $1,590,000 (1954) for jetties at Masonboro Inlet, $109,000 (1954) for the 6 mooring basins in the Intracoastal Waterway, $267,000 (1954) for the 12-foot project in New River, and $51,000 (1956) for the 12-foot project in Peltier Creek.

S. ARMY, 1960 Local cooperation. Complied with except for the following: Peltier Creek (H. Doc. 379, 81st Cong., 1st sess.), which re- quires that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will 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; hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construc- tion and subsequent maintenance of the works; and provide, without cost to the United States, a suitable area, accessible by road, for a public landing. Local cooperation requirements were adopted by the county of Carteret in a resolution on February 4, 1957, by the Board of County Commissioners. The guarantee of fulfillment of the assurances of local cooperation by Carteret County was accepted as satisfactory by the district engineer on February 21, 1957. The local sponsor was notified on February 21, 1957, that the public landing requirement of local cooperation would have to be met before any expenditure of funds is made for maintenance of the project. Because of changed conditions since the study of the project was completed, local interests con- tend that it is now impracticable to comply with all terms of local cooperation for the 12-foot project as authorized. They were advised of the proposed action of the Chief of Engineers in classifying the 12-foot project as inactive, with the provision of making the 6-foot by 50-foot project, as provided under emer- gency funds in September 1955, eligible for future maintenance. They were informed, however, that all the provisions of local cooperation were to remain in full force and effect, even though the project is maintained to a depth of only 6 feet. The Board of County Commissioners of Carteret County adopted a resolu- tion on May 2, 1957, agreeing to the decision of the Chief of Engineers. On June 26, 1957, the Chief of Engineers accepted the assurances of local cooperation as satisfactory, classified the 12-foot project as inactive, and proposed that the lesser project be maintained. Spoil-disposal areas necessary for the project are contemplated in the shallow waters along Bogue Sound; other provisions of cooperation will be met as the need arises. Terminal facilities. There are numerous wharves and land- ings along the present waterway, used mostly for shipping agri- cultural and timber products and for docking commercial and pleasure fishing boats. These wharves are of the open pile- and-timber type. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of dredging to restore project depth, dredging for removal of shoals in the waterway by contract and by Government plant and hired labor, land investigation, study for replacing bridges, condition and operation studies, replacement of traffic signals on four highway bridges, replacing asphalt decking on a high- way bridge, and operation and maintenance of five highway bridges. Between July 1 and 25, 1959, the contract dredge Clinton RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 341 removed 344,201 cubic yards from the Alligator River section of the waterway to restore the 12-foot project depth at a cost of $72,024. Between September 4 and 29, 1959, the United States Hopper Dredge Hyde removed 110,237 cubic yards from shoals in Ma- sonboro Inlet at a cost of $74,025. Between February 19 and June 9, 1960, the contract dredges Northwood II and Marion removed 338,986 cubic yards from the waterway between Neuse River, N.C., and Little River, S.C., to restore the 12-foot project depth at a cost of $155,451. During the same period the dredges removed 384,188 cubic yards from shoals between Neuse River, N.C., and Little River, S.C., and 36,602 cubic yards from a shoal 4 miles northeast of Wilkerson Creek Bridge at a cost of $189,633. Between June 11 and 20, 1960, the contract dredge Marion re- moved 25,341 cubic yards from shoals in the channel to Mason- boro Inlet at a cost of $12,161. Replacing asphalt decking at Fairfield Bridge cost $3,935. Replacement of traffic signals on four highway bridges was commenced June 28, 1960, and partially completed by continuing contract at a cost of $3,180. Title investigation of fee-owned land cost $440. A study for replacing four highway bridges was partially com- pleted at a cost of $1,337. Condition and operation studies cost $8,152. The bridges and utilities at Coinjock, Fairfield, Wilkerson Creek, Hobucken, and Core Creek were operated and maintained at a cost of $146,170. The total costs were $666,508 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- pleted except for tieup dolphins in the turning basin at Masonboro Inlet.

Two of these, with a total frontage of 220 feet are public property, being owned by the town of Manteo. Mill Creek has seven timber wharves with a total berthing space of 600 feet, of which six are privately owned; the other is owned and operated by Dare County, N.C. The existing facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year. The work consisted of new work and maintenance dredging. Between July 17, 1959, and March 8, 1960, the contract dredges Northwood II and Clarendon removed 2,297,661 cubic yards for new work to provide authorized channels from Old House Chan- nel to and including basins at Manteo and Wanchese at a cost of $604,002. Between June 3 and 18, 1960, the United States Hopper Dredge Hyde removed 62,991 cubic yards for new work to partially pro- vide the new channel from the Atlantic Ocean over the bar through Oregon Inlet at a cost of $53,202. Between April 4 and June 30, 1960, the contract dredge Claren- don on maintenance work removed 468,000 cubic yards from the relocated channel between Oregon Inlet and Pamlico Sound (Old House Channel) to provide an authorized 12-foot channel from the inlet to the inner channels, under a continuing contract at a cost of $144,374. The total costs were $657,204 for new work and $144,374 for maintenance, a total of $801,578. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was about 90 percent completed. The 6-foot channel from the north end of Roanoke Sound to Manteo was dredged during August and Sep- tember 1911. The 6-foot channel through Roanoke Sound to Ore- gon Inlet was commenced in August 1941 and completed in November 1941. A 6-foot interim channel and basin in Mill Creek to Wanchese was dredged during July 1956. Deepening and widening Old House Channel to Pamlico Sound to 12 feet by 100 feet was commenced in April and completed in July 1957. The authorized channels from Old House Channel to and including basins at Manteo and Wanchese were commenced in July 1959 and completed in March 1960. The channel from the Atlantic Ocean over the bar and through Oregon Inlet was commenced and partially completed in June 1960. When work on those channels is finished, the project will be complete.

Far Creek is in Hyde County, N.C., and flows east- erly into Pamlico Sound about 95 miles south of Norfolk, Va. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1232.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from that depth in Pamlico Sound along the gen- eral alinement of the existing channel through the wide section of the creek, and thence 12 feet deep and 80 feet wide to about 200 feet below the highway bridge at Engelhard, with a turning basin of the same depth with maximum width and length of about 200 feet and 900 feet, respectively, at the head. The total length of channels included in the project is about 2.7 miles. There is some lunar tide in Pamlico Sound, but the principal variations in the level of the water surface are due to winds. Ordinarily, winds cause a variation of about 1 foot, while severe storms will double or triple this variation. The cost to the Federal Government for the completed project was $167,442. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $16,126.

ARMY, 1960 require that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for the new work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; set aside suitable space for a public landing; and hold and save the United States free from any damages re- sulting from construction and maintenance of the improvements, including furnishing releases from damages to oyster grounds. Local cooperation requirements were adopted on October 2, 1956, by the Hyde County Board of County Commissioners. The reso- lution guaranteeing fulfillment of local cooperation requirements by Hyde County was accepted as satisfactory by the district engi- neer on October 5, 1956. Hyde County by virtue of a deed of conveyance dated October 31, 1957, holds a fee simple title to a tract of land having 148.5 feet of frontage on the improved sec- tion of Far Creek, N.C., for the purpose of a public landing and public ,dock to be used as such, subsequent to said date forever. By deed of easement dated November 19, 1956, Hyde County conveyed unto the United States of America a perpetual right- of-way on, over, and upon a tract of land required for a basin at Engelhard, N.C. Local interests appear willing and compe- tent to comply with all subsequent local cooperation require- ments of the project. Terminal facilities. There are 12 wharves at Engelhard, with a total frontage of over 2,300 feet, all privately owned. The existing facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of maintenance dredging. Between December 31, 1959, and Jan- uary 13, 1960, the contract dredge Hampton Roads removed 148,499 cubic yards from shoals in the entrance channel at a cost of $58,764. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in June 1957. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth to Engelhard was 12 feet.

ROLLINSON CHANNEL, N.C. Location. This channel extends from deep water in Pamlico Sound to the village of Hatteras, N.C., on the sound shore of RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 349 the barrier island, and is about 3.5 miles northeast of Hatteras Inlet. Hatteras Inlet is about 13 miles southwest of Cape Hat- teras and 62 miles northeast of Cape Lookout. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1232.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 100 feet wide and 6 feet deep at mean low water from deep water in Pamlico Sound to and including a basin of the same depth at Hatteras; and for a breakwater on each side of the channel starting at a point as near the basin and extending as near the channel as practicable. The length of the channel to the natural inner basin is 3.0 miles. Variation in the water surface due to winds seldom exceeds 2 feet above or below mean stage. Severe windstorms will double or triple this variation. The cost of new work to the Federal Government for the com- pleted project was $181,910. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $10,531.

Terminal facilities. There are 6 wharves in the basin at Hat- teras, with a total frontage of about 926 feet, all privately owned and operated but open to the public when not being used by their owners. All except two have highway connections. When suitable space is set apart in the basin for a public landing in accordance with the terms of local cooperation, terminal facilities can be considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of maintenance dredging. Between January 17 and 29, 1960, the contract dredge Hampton Roads removed 42,278 cubic yards from shoals in the entrance channel at a cost of $34,452. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- pleted. The 6-foot channel, 100 feet wide, from deep water in Pamlico Sound to the natural inner basin was commenced in October and completed in December 1936. The rubblestone break- waters were commenced in April and completed in August 1956. Dredging the inner basin was commenced in August and com- pleted in September 1956. The fender system at the channel end of each breakwater was commenced in July and completed in Au- gust 1958. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 6 feet. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1960, were $181,910 for new work and $176,522 for maintenance, a total of $358,432. 350 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

CHANNEL CONNECTING THOROUGHFARE BAY WITH CEDAR BAY, N.C. Location. Thoroughfare Bay, the southern end of the project, is on the north side of Core Sound, about 6 miles west of the end of the peninsula at the junction of Core and Pamlico Sounds. It lies about 30 miles by boat route through Core Sound easterly from Beaufort, N.C. Cedar Bay (actually an arm of West Bay on latest U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey map) is the other extrem- ity of the project. An extension of U.S. Highway 70, beyond At- lantic, N.C., crosses the channel. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1223.) Existing project. This provides for a channel 7 feet deep and 50 feet wide, with increased widths at bends, to connect Thor- oughfare Bay with Cedar Bay. The channel is about 4.3 miles long. There is no lunar tide in or at either end of the waterway, variations in the level of the water surface being due to wind action. Ordinary storms will cause a variation of 1 foot above or below the mean stage, while severe storms have caused a variation of as much as 5 feet. The cost of new work to the Federal Government for the com- pleted project was $69,610. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 2, 1919 A 5-foot channel, 50 feet wide .......... .... .... IH. Doc. 1125, 63d Cong., 2d sess.

The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas when and as required for new work and for subsequent maintenance. Local interests have complied with requirements for construc- tion, and will be required to furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for subsequent maintenance. Terminal facilities. This is essentially a through waterway, therefore, no terminal facilities are deemed necessary. How- ever, during the shrimping season, about 20 boats use a side channel, on the east side of the swing bridge crossing the At- lantic-Cedar Island road, for mooring purposes. There is also a RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 351 makeshift dock, at the pilings of the old bridge, which provides mooring space for two boats. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of new work dredging. Between July 20 and October 10, 1959, the contract dredge Carroll removed 83,824 cubic yards from the channel at a cost of $54,351. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- pleted. Dredging a 5-foot channel, 50 feet wide, was commenced in March and completed in April 1921. Dredging to increase the depth to 7 feet, same width, was commenced in July and com- pleted in October 1959. At the close of the fiscal year the con- trolling depth was 7 feet. The total costs under the existing proj- ect to June 30, 1960, were $69,610 for new work and $15,549 for maintenance, a total of $85,159.

MOREHEAD CITY HARBOR, N.C. Location. This harbor is on the northern shore of Bogue Sound, adjacent to Beaufort Harbor and Inlet. New Bern, N.C., the nearest city of importance, is about 43 miles by inland water- ways to the north and west. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 420.) Previous project. The channel across the ocean bar was for- merly improved under the title of Beaufort Inlet, N.C. The proj- ect was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (H. Doc. 563, 58th Cong., 2d sess.). For further details, see page 470 of Annual Report for 1935.) Existing project. This provides for a bar channel 35 feet deep and 400 feet wide, increased to 600 feet at the bend; thence an inner channel 35 feet deep and 300 feet wide, realined to maintain or decrease the slope of the underwater bank along the north- easterly shore of Fort Macon Point; and an enlarged turning basin deepened to 35 feet, to be obtained by lengthening the westerly leg about 800 feet and widening the throat and easterly leg, with the boundaries to be not closer than 50 feet to any bulkhead, wharf, or pier; and for a channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from the 35-foot channel to Sixth Street, Morehead City, thence same depth and 200 to 400 feet wide to 10th Street, thence 6 feet deep and 75 feet wide to deep water in Bogue Sound. The average rise of the tide is about 21/2 feet at Morehead City and 31/2 feet at the inlet. Observations made in 1907 showed an extreme range of 4.8 feet. 352 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $1,713,000. The portion of the modification providing for jetties at Beau- fort Inlet is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last re- vised in 1955 and was estimated to be $3,100,000. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $245,409.

The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958, in authorizing modification of the channel and enlargement of the basin, all to a depth of 35 feet, provided that local interests fur- nish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas required for ini- tial work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required; provide and maintain adequate terminal and transfer facilities, open to all on equal terms; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the project. The Governor and Council of State in meeting on March 21, 1960, agreed to the execution of a contract of assurances to obligate the State of North Carolina to provide the local co- operation required by the terms of the authorizing act. A sat- isfactory contract of local cooperation assurances was executed accordingly as of March 24, 1960, by Gov. Luther H. Hodges and accepted by Col. R.P. Davidson, District Engineer. By virtue of an easement agreement dated March 21, 1960, the State of North Carolina furnished spoil-disposal areas for a period of 3 years, computed from February 20, 1960. The State appears willing and competent to comply with all subsequent local cooperation re- quirements. Terminal facilities. There are 26 wharves along the main waterfront of the town, with a total frontage of about 1,250 feet. The marine terminals provide 2,731 feet of berthing space with a depth alongside of 27 feet at mean low water, and facilities for transfer of cargoes between rail and water carriers. The existing facilities are considered adequate for existing and prospective commerce. For further details, see Port Series No. 16 (1954), Corps of Engineers. RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 353 Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of maintenance and new work dredging by Government plant and hired labor, new work dredging by contract, repairs to mooring facilities at Beaufort, and condition and operation studies. Between July 1 and 14, 1959, the United States hopper dredge Gerig removed 242,907 cubic yards from the ocean-bar channel and the outer end of the inner 30-foot channel at a cost of $62,752. Between June 20 and 30, 1960, the United States hopper dredge Gerig removed 346,505 cubic yards from the ocean-bar channel and the outer end of the inner 35-foot channel to partially pro- vide the authorized dimensions for new work at a cost of $53,660. Between June 24 and 30, 1960, the contract dredge Peru re- moved 130,000 cubic yards for new work to partially enlarge the turning basin to authorized dimensions under a continuing contract at a cost of $102,692. Repairs to mooring facilities at Beaufort cost $1,798. Condition and operation studies cost $7,514. The total costs were $156,352 for new work and $72,064 for maintenance, a total of $228,416. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was about 65 percent completed. The part of the existing project providing for a 12-foot channel to Morehead City, thence a 6-foot channel westward to Bogue Sound was commenced in February 1931 and completed in March 1931; the part providing for the 30-foot channel to the terminals was commenced in November 1935 and completed in August 1936. The work remaining to be done con- sists of completing the deepening of the ocean-bar channel and the inner channel, and enlarging and deepening the turning basin, all to a depth of 35 feet at mean low water.

BEAUFORT HARBOR, N.C. Location. This harbor is just inside Beaufort Inlet adjacent to Morehead City Harbor. New Bern, N.C., the nearest city of importance, is about 43 miles by inland waterways to the north- west. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 420.) Previous projects. The first project on Beaufort Harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1836. The total cost and expenditure was $5,000 for new work. For further de- tails, see page 1803 of Annual Report for 1915. Another project, "Waterway Connecting Core Sound and Beaufort Harbor" (known locally as Taylors Creek), now a part of the existing project for Beaufort Harbor, was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913. For further details, see page 520 of the Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the stopping of erosion at the inlet by jetties and sand fences at Fort Macon and Shackle- ford Points and other shore protection; for a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water, 100 feet wide in Bulkhead and Gallants Channels and 600 feet wide in front of the town of Beaufort; for the construction of a stone bulkhead from Town Marsh across Bird Shoal to the westerly end of Carrot Island; and for a chan- nel 12 feet deep at mean low water, 100 feet wide in Taylors Creek to extend about 2.6 miles easterly from about opposite Marsh Street in Beaufort to Lenoxville Point at North River. On June 14, 1948, the Chief of Engineers approved transfer of the Taylors Creek reach of the project Waterway connecting Pamlico Sound and Beaufort Harbor, N.C., to this project (H.

C., DISTRICT 355 The cost to the Federal Government for the completed project was $455,867, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $11,777. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, in authorizing the increase in width and length of the basin in front of Beaufort, provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, as and when required, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas required for initial work and for subsequent maintenance, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from the improvement. The River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, in authorizing increased depth and width in Taylors Creek, imposed similar conditions of local cooperation, which have been fulfilled. Local cooperation requirements were adopted by the town of Beaufort, N. C., in a resolution by the Board of Town Com- missioners on January 9, 1956, for construction of a channel in Taylors Creek and on June 17, 1957, for enlarging Beaufort Harbor. The assurances of fulfillment of local cooperation re- quirements were accepted as satisfactory by the district engineer on February 10, 1956, and June 21, 1957, respectively. The town of Beaufort by deed dated May 11, 1959, conveyed a perpetual easement to the United States for a spoil-disposal area; also fur- nished all required spoil permits for dredging operations. The local sponsor appears willing and competent to comply with all subsequent local cooperation requirements of the project. Terminal facilities. There are 50 wharves contiguous to this harbor. They have a total frontage of about 2,000 feet. The existing facilities are considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of maintenance and new work dredging. Between October 28, 1959, and January 8, 1960, the contract dredge Charleston removed 109,422 cubic yards from shoals in Bulkhead and Gallants Channels, Taylors Creek, and the basin in front of Beaufort at a cost of $31,687. Between November 14, 1959, and January 8, 1960, the dredge Charleston removed 331,201 cubic yards for new work dredging in the basin in front of Beaufort at a cost of $87,402. The total costs were $31,687 for maintenance and $87,402 for new work, a total of $119,089. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- pleted. The deepening of Bulkhead and Gallants Channels and a portion of the basin in front of Beaufort was commenced in March and completed in July 1931. Deepening and widening of the Taylors Creek Channel to 12 feet by 100 feet was com- menced in December 1955 and completed in January 1956. Dredg- ing to enlarge the basin in front of Beaufort to authorized di- mensions was commenced in November 1959 and completed in January 1960. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depth was 12 feet. The costs under the existing project to June 356 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 30, 1960 were $455,867 for new work, including $770 for pre- authorization studies; and $498,411 for maintenance; a total of $954,278.

Doe. 131, 76th Cong., 1st sess. of the deep-draft section under improvement is about 311/4miles, the upper limit being 11/4 miles above Hilton Bridge over North- east (Cape Fear) River. The average rise of tide is 4.7 feet at the ocean bar, 3.6 feet at Keg Island, and 3.4 feet at Wilmington. The extreme range of tides is about 8.5 feet at the ocean bar, 7.3 feet at Orton Cove, and 6.4 feet at Wilmington. Hurricane "Hazel," on October 15, 1954, caused an elevation of 8.2 feet (mean 360 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY,1960 low water) at Wilmington and 14.0 feet (Southport datum) at Southport. The cost to the Federal Government for the completed project was $5,481,712, exclusive of amounts expended on previous proj- ects. The modification of the project providing for deepening to 32 feet and widening to 400 feet above Castle Street, except for some widening of the channel and basin at Wilmington, is to be restudied and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of completing this portion, last revised in 1954, was esti- mated to be $506,000. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $328,601. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950, provided that local interests furnish, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil- disposal areas necessary for construction and subsequent main- tenance 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 project. Local interests ap- pear willing and able to fulfill the local cooperation requirements. During the early part of calendar year 1957, private interests filed an entry and claim for islands made by dredge spoil in the Cape Fear River. In opinion dated July 17, 1957, the Attorney General of North Carolina stated that, "Islands created artifically in navigable waters retain the nature of islands covered by navigable waters and, consequently, are specifically excluded by G.S. 146-1(1) from lands subject to entry". Accordingly, no problem is expected to arise due to deposition of spoil in navigable waters. Terminal facilities. There are 47 wharves, piers, and docks at the port of Wilmington, with adjacent depths ranging, with a few exceptions, from 17 to 33 feet, with a combined berthing space of about 14,400 linear feet. About 4,000 linear feet of berthing space is available to deep-draft vessels at general cargo terminals. All of the terminal facilities, except the North Caro- lina State Ports Authority docks, are of open timber-pile and timber-deck construction. The North Carolina State Ports Au- thority dock is an open concrete-pile and concrete-deck structure, 2,510 feet in length. The facility includes two transit sheds of 79,000 square feet each, one transit shed of 120,000 square feet, a storage shed of 86,000 square feet, an office building, and a fumi- gation plant. For further details, see Port Series No. 12, revised 1950, Corps of Engineers. Operations and results during fiscal year. The work consisted of maintenance dredging by contract and by Government plant and hired labor, engineering and design studies for repairs to dredging ranges, condition and operation studies, preparation of plans and specifications for maintenance dredging, and a shoaling study of the river channels and channels at Sunny Point Army Terminal. Between July 31 and November 25, 1959, the contract dredge Hampton Roads removed 1,516,670 cubic yards from shoals be- RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N.

Between July 31 and August 20, 1959, the U.S. hopper dredge Gerig removed 843,294 cubic yards from shoals in the ocean-bar channel and the outer river channels at a cost of $88,625. Engineering and design studies for repairs to dredging ranges cost $4,854. Condition and operation studies cost $7,340. A preliminary report on a joint study by this district and the Transportation Corps of shoaling in the river channels and the channels and basins at Sunny Point Army Terminal was com- pleted. The cost to each agency was $2,498. Preparation of plans and specifications for maintenance dredg- ing cost $358. The total costs were $450,304 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- plete. Dredging the 25- by 200-foot channel and the basin in Northeast (Cape Fear) River above Hilton Bridge was com- menced in October 1948 and completed in November 1948. Dredg- ing the 12- by 100-foot channel from the Intracoastal Waterway to the ship channel in the river was commenced in November 1948 and completed in December 1948. Deepening the ocean-bar chan- nel to 35 feet and the outer river channel to 34 feet was com- menced in March 1956 and completed in April 1956. Deepening the river channel and anchorage basin to 34 feet was commenced in July 1956 and completed in January 1958. At the close of the fiscal year the controlling depths were 33.5 feet in the ocean-bar channel; 31.9 feet in the river channel up to Castle Street in Wilmington; 29.4 feet to and in the turning basin in the North- east (Cape Fear) River; and 6.5 feet in the connecting channel with the Intracoastal Waterway.

SHALLOTTE RIVER, N.C. Location. Shallotte River is a small stream in Brunswick County, N.C., rising in the large swamp country between the Cape Fear and Waccamaw Rivers, known as Green Swamp. The stream is about 30 miles long and flows southerly into the At- lantic Ocean about 20 miles west of the mouth of the Cape Fear River. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 835.) 362 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Previous project. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907, appropriated $3,000 to be expended on this river. For further details of previous project see page 1806 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. This provides for a channel 4 feet deep at mean low water and 36 feet wide from the mouth to the town of Shallotte. The length of the section under improvement is 9 miles. The river is tidal, the range varying from 5 feet at the mouth to 3 feet at Shallotte. Hurricane Hazel in 1954 caused a tide about 16 feet above mean sea level in the river at Shallotte Point. The cost to the Federal Government for the completed project was $15,181, exclusive of the amount spent on the previous proj- ect. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $1,708.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 363 13. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL Location. The chief obnoxious plant in this district is alligator- weed, which is found in fresh-water streams, lakes, drainage ditches and canals, wet bottom land, and on cultivated farmland in various parts of the district. Existing project. The existing project was authorized by Sec- tion 104 of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958. The project provides for control and progressive eradication of the water- hyacinth, alligatorweed, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in the eight coastal States from North Carolina to Texas in the combined interests of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conserva- tion, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of the most effective and economical control measures. The estimated Federal cost of the project in the Wilmington District is $63,000 (1960 estimate). There has been no mainte- nance cost during the past 5 years. Local cooperation. This project as authorized by Section 104 of Public Law 85-500, 85th Congress, approved July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 37, 85th Cong., 1st sess.), provided that local interests agree to hold and save the United States free from claims that may occur from such operations and participate to the extent of 30 per centum of the cost of the additional program. The Gov- ernor and the Council of State on January 20, 1960, agreed to the execution of a contract of assurances to obligate the State of North Carolina to provide the local cooperation required by the terms of the authorizing act. A satisfactory contract of local cooperation assurances was executed accordingly as of February 10, 1960, by Gov. Luther H. Hodges and accepted by Col. R. P. Davidson, District Engineer. During the fiscal year 1959 the State of North Carolina contributed $1,286 and in fiscal year 1960 it contributed $3,130 toward the cost of the program. The State appears willing and able to comply with all subsequent local co- operation requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work consisted of planning for the total expanded project, preparation of design memorandum, purchase of equipment, and initial spraying of selected areas where the problem seemed most acute. A design memorandum was submitted on August 7, 1959, and was approved by the Office, Chief of Engineers on September 28, 1959. Equipment was purchased and spraying began June 1, 1960. Treatment of six areas in the northeastern part of the State will be continued. Total Federal costs of new work for the fiscal year have been $6,125; non-Federal funds of $3,254 have also been expended. Condition at end of fiscal year. Planning for the expanded proj- ect in North Carolina is about 99 percent complete. Initial treatment began June 1, 1960, and will continue into July 1960. Further applications will be made if necessary. Other selected areas will be treated. 364 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

PANTEGO CREEK AND CUCKLERS CREEK, N.C. Location. The drainage areas of Pantego Creek, Cucklers Creek, and Pungo River are in coastal North Carolina, in Wash- ington, Beaufort, and Hyde Counties, north and northwest of Belhaven, N.C. The only town in the area included in the project is Pantego, about 4 miles northwest of Belhaven and 27 miles east of Washington, N.C., the county seat of Beaufort County. Existing project. The project, authorized by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 398, 84th Cong., 2d sess.), provides for the improvement of about 15.2 miles of stream channels and canals in the Pantego Creek and Pungo River Basins, N.C., for flood control and major drainage, consisting of clearing and en- larging Pantego Creek from United States Highway 264 to a point 0.9 mile below Cucklers Creek; clearing and enlarging Cucklers Creek from its mouth to a point about 0.6 mile above the mouth of Intercepting Canal; clearing and enlarging Inter- cepting Canal from its mouth to a point about 0.6 mile above its junction with Albemarle Canal, with suitable bridge modifications at the crossing of State Highway 99; clearing and enlarging Albemarle Canal from its mouth to the crossing of State High- way 99 near Wenona, with suitable modifications of the county road bridge across the lower part of the canal; and dike construc- tion or strengthening of existing dikes at low points along the banks at specified locations. FLOOD CONTROL--WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 367 The estimate of Federal cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $536,000. Local cooperation. The Flood Control Act of 1958, 85th Con- gress, second session, authorizing the improvement for Pantego Creek and Cucklers Creek, N.C., specified that local interests: (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; (b) make all necessary bridge and utility alterations; (c) contribute in cash 17.4 percent of the construction cost; (d) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; and (e) maintain the project after com- pletion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. On October 18, 1958, the Clerk of the Superior Court of Beaufort County, N.C., pursuant to the provisions of the General Statutes of North Carolina, Chapter 156, Section 81, appointed a board of drainage commissioners for Albemarle Drainage District, Beaufort County Drainage District No. 5. This district was organized in 1917 and is now reactivated. Local cooperation requirements were adopted by the Albemarle Drain- age District, Beaufort County Drainage District No. 5, in a reso- lution approved on May 28, 1960, by the Board of Drainage Commissioners. The resolution was reviewed and found to assure the terms of local cooperation, except for some minor revisions required by the District Engineer. No difficulties are expected in obtaining satisfactory assurances. The local sponsor appears willing and competent to comply with all terms of local coopera- tion. Local interests will provide maintenance when the project is completed. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys were made and design memorandum completed, with advanced funds for engineering and design, at a cost of $22,033. Condition at end of fiscal year.

The cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, was $2,115,777. The average annual mainte- nance cost during the past 5 years was $995,800. The existing project includes the maintenance of two entrance jetties completed in 1895 under previous projects. These jetties are of stone on log-mattress foundation, the north jetty 15,443 feet long and the south jetty 19,104 feet long; the distance be- tween their axes at the outer end is 2,900 feet. The height as originally built, except the submerged inner portions and the gap left in the south jetty, was 12 feet above mean low water for the greater part of their length. The project also provides for the following works, which were authorized to be prosecuted only as found necessary in the inter- ests of national defense, and are excluded from the foregoing cost estimate: a. A 40-foot channel, 1,000 feet wide from the sea to the inner end of the jetties, described above, thence 600 feet wide to the south pier at the navy yard, and thence 1,000 feet wide to the Commandant's wharf. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1926, and was estimated to be $3,603,000. b. The anchorage area portion of the project, 30 feet deep in the water area between Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie, is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in June 1954, and was estimated to be $2,604,200.

C., DISTRICT 377 The mean tidal range is 5.2 feet, though this is increased to 7 or 8 feet under the influence of northeast winds or prolonged storms. Local cooperation. This project authorized in the River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940 (H. Doc. 259, 76th Cong., 1st sess.), is subject to the requirements that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas as and when required for initial work and for subsequent mainte- nance. All requirements are being complied with. Recommended modification of project. In September 1958, the Chief of Engineers recommended further modification of the existing project to provide for maintenance of a channel in Shem Creek, 10 feet deep, 90 feet wide, and about 1,150 feet long, up- stream from the head of the existing project, and to provide for maintenance of a channel 10 feet deep and 90 feet wide in Hog Island Channel from Shem Creek to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, both at no additional cost to the United States for new work, but at a total cost of $3,800 for annual maintenance in addition to that now required; provided local interests agree to: (a) furnish without cost to the United States suitable spoil- disposal areas when and as required; (b) hold and save the United- States free from damages due to maintenance of the im- provement; and (c) continue to provide and maintain in a suit- able location on Shem Creek downstream from the bridge on U.S. Highway 17, public landing facilities at least equivalent to those now existing. (H. Doc. 35, 86th Cong., 1st sess.) Terminal facilities. Piers and slips extend for about 1 mile along the eastern waterfront of the city of Charleston, and an additional mile is covered by marginal wharves. The South Carolina State Ports Authority operates the terminal at Colum- bus Street, large piers near Market Street, and the beltline rail- way serving all wharves and warehouses, and connecting with trucklines entering the city. Modern facilities are also at the wharves of the Standard Oil Co., the Charleston Shipyards, Inc., the South Carolina State Ports Authority and the City Compress and Warehouse Co. At the Columbus Street Terminals, the South Carolina State Ports Authority is providing a new fruit pier and four berthing spaces with supporting warehouses. On Cooper River above the Navy Yard, the Texaco, Inc., the Sinclair Refining Co., Phillips Petroleum Co., the Coastal Ter- minals, Inc., the Oakdene Compress and Warehouse Co., and the Shell Oil Co., maintain piers at their properties. The South Carolina State Ports Authority operates a large terminal capable of berthing five cargo vessels at the Port Terminals near the head of the project. At Union Pier, Foot of Market Street, the South Carolina State Ports Authority is planning to reconstruct the pier and extend same about 300 feet at each end.

AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL Location. The project location includes those waters within the geographical limits of the Charleston District infested with waterhyacinth, alligatorweed or other obnoxious aquatic plant growth. Existing project. The work authorized provides for a five-year program leading to the control and progressive eradication of the waterhyacinth, alligatorweed and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths from the navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels and other allied waters in the Charleston District. The cost to the Federal Government is estimated at $637,000. The cost to local interests during the program is estimated at $273,000 (June 1960). The project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act ap- proved July 3, 1958, in accordance with the report published in House Document No. 37, 85th Congress. Local cooperation. The authorizing act requires that local in- terests agree to hold and save the United States free from claims 382 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 that may occur from operations under the project and contribute 30 percent of the cost of the program. Requirements of local cooperation have not been met except for the areas within the confines of the Santee Cooper project. All requirements of local cooperation for the State are expected to be met during the en- suing fiscal year. Operations and results during fiscal year. The Commissioner of Agriculture was designated by the Governor of South Carolina to represent the State in formulation of the program. The State Feature Memorandum for Aquatic Plant Control in South Caro- lina was approved by the Office, Chief of Engineers on November 9, 1959. A Memorandum of Agreement between the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior and the Corps of Engineers was ex- ecuted on November 3, 1959 to determine by research and tests conducted on several of the Bureau's large wildlife refuges, the effects of laboratory chemicals and herbicides, or new ones that may be developed, on alligatorweed or other aquatic plants, and on fish and wild life, including field evaluation by large-scale tests under varying ecological conditions. On April 15, 1960, a contract was negotiated with the South Carolina Public Service Authority, indorsed by the State Com- missioner of Agriculture, to procure necessary permits and licenses and provide labor, materials, and equipment for the con- trol and progressive eradication of alligatorweed and other ob- noxious aquatic plants within the boundaries of the Santee-Cooper project in the State of South Carolina. On May 25, 1960, a supple- mental agreement thereto, increasing the amount of work to be performed, was negotiated for a total contract cost of $43,667. Approximately 300 acres of alligatorweed-infested areas within Lake Marion of the Santee-Cooper project were treated under contract at a total cost of $25,726 of which $18,353 were Federal funds and $7,373 non-Federal. Costs for office studies, investiga- tions and research amounted to $7,974. The above costs include $4,168 research by the Fish and Wildlife Service of which $3,100 was applicable to the above contract work. Costs during the cur- rent fiscal year have been $26,327 from Federal funds and $7,373 from non-Federal funds, a total of $33,700. Condition at end of fiscal year. Control and eradication opera- tions in the Santee-Cooper project of the South Carolina Public Service Authority are estimated 3 percent complete. The total cost of the Contract and Supplemental Agreement with the Au- thority is sufficient for operations to the end of September 1960, or control or eradication of about 900 acres of the estimated total 10,000 acres of alligatorweed infestation in the project. Research operations under the memorandum of agreement with the Bureau of Sport Fisheries are about 8 percent complete. Total costs to date have been $30,464 from Federal funds and $7,373 from non-Federal funds, a total of $37,837. FLOOD CONTROL--CHARLESTON, S.

The Yadkin River rises on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, flows generally northeasterly 100 miles to the vicinity of Donnaha, N.C., thence southeasterly 104 miles to its confluence with the Uwharrie River near Badin, N.C., where its name changes to the Great Pee Dee River. (See U.S. Geological Survey map of North Carolina.) Existing project. The Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946, authorized the construction of four flood control dams in the upper Yadkin River basin, two on the Yadkin River above Wilkesboro, N.C., and two on the Reddies River, a tributary stream. Studies made subsequent to the authorization act estab- lished the economic advantage of providing the needed flood 384 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

WILKESBORO RESERVOIR, YADKIN RIVER, N.C. Location. The Wilkesboro Dam site is on Yadkin River, mile 388, about 6 miles upstream from Wilkesboro, N.C. At full flood control pool elevation, the reservoir will extend 15.7 miles up the Yadkin River to the Wilkes-Caldwell County line. Existing project. The existing project for the Yadkin River was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. A review report dated August 14, 1953, established that modifi- cation of the authorized multiple-reservoir plan to provide a single reservoir at the Wilkesboro site would be more economical. The estimated cost approved July 1, 1959 is $6,144,000 for design and construction, $1,030,000 for lands, and $1,326,000 for relocations and rights-of-way; a total of $8,500,000. Local cooperation. The project plan under consideration would provide storage capacity in excess of flood control require- ments. This excess capacity would serve the purposes of water supply, pollution abatement, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. Non-Federal reimbursement of project costs allo- cated to water supply are required under provisions of the Flood Control Act of 1944 and the Water Supply Act of 1958. Nego- tiations were conducted with concerned state and local agencies, and legislation was enacted by the State General Assembly en- abling local interests to meet reimbursement requirements. A FLOOD CONTROL--CHARLESTON, S. C., DISTRICT 385 contract with local sponsors for payment of project costs allo- cated to water supply was approved by the Secretary of the Army on June 30, 1960. Operationand results during fiscal year. Design memorandums were initiated and completed for the dam, spillway, outlet works, highway relocations, hydroelectric power and preliminary master plan. Studies were made to determine the feasibility and poten- tial for developing hydroelectric power. Construction of the project without provision for present or future hydroelectric power development was approved May 4, 1960. Construction plans and specifications were initiated for the dam, spillway, outlet works ,and highway relocations. A real estate project office was established and land acquisition was initiated. Studies of highway relocations were continued in cooperation with Bureau of Public Roads and State Highway Commission. The total cost of work accomplished during the year was $746,341. Condition at the end of the fiscal year. Construction plans and specifications for the dam, spillway, outlet work, and highway relocations are 90 percent -complete. Engineering and design is 83 percent complete. The cost for new work for the project to June 30, 1960 is $1,110,252, including preauthorization costs.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 389 The mean tidal range between Port Royal, S.C., and Fernan- dina, Fla., is from 6 to 8 feet, with fluctuations from 11/ to 22 feet, due to winds and lunar phases. The project was completed at a cost of $763,599 for new work, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $100,165. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Exclusive of terminal facilities at the ports of entry, this improvement serves numerous wharves, some of which are open to the public on equal terms. These facilities are considered ample for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Be- tween November 26, 1959 and January 23, 1960, the contract dredge Ideal removed 574,101 cubic yards of material from the main route of the waterway (Jekyll Creek, mile 681.5 to 684.8) and between January 19 and April 15, 1960, the contract dredge Charleston removed 927,435 cubic yards of material from the main route of the waterway (Fields Cut, mile 573.4 to 574.0; Wilmington River, mile 578.3 to 581.7 and mile 582.4 to 582.9; Hell Gate, mile 601.4 to 602.2; Altamaha Sound, mile 659.8 to 660.2; Buttermilk Sound, mile 662.4 to 664.7). This contract work amounted to $324,270. Routine condition surveys and gen- eral supervision and administration of the project amounted to $2,449. The total cost for maintenance was $326,719. Condition at end of fiscal year. The main 12-foot channel of the existing project was completed in 1941. The 7-foot protected route around St. Andrew Sound was completed in 1939. The training walls and closure dams were completed in 1912, and are in satisfactory condition. All other improvements were com- pleted in 1932. Since March 1943, the previous route of the Intracoastal Waterway, through the westerly end of South Channel and the northerly end of Wilmington River, has been superseded by the route through the Elba-McQueens Island Cut and the north- westerly end of St. Augustine Creek. The former route will be maintained to a depth of 7 feet below mean low water for traffic moving from Savannah to points south of Savannah Harbor and for northbound traffic from southern points below Savannah Harbor to Savannah, Ga. The main route has a controlling depth of 12 feet or more, except as follows: January 1959, Ramshorn Creek (mile 568.1 to mile 569.5) 10 feet; June 1960, Walls Cut (mile 572.5 to mile 572.2) 9 feet; June 1960, Fields Cut (mile 573.9 to mile 574.0) 11 feet; May 1960, Elba-McQueens Island Cut (mile 576.7 to mile 576.4) 9 feet; St. Augustine Creek (mile 578.4 to mile 578.5) 10 feet; Wilmington River (mile 578.4 to mile 584.7) 9.5 feet; Hell Gate (mile 602.3 to mile 602.4) 10 feet; Florida Passage (mile 607.4 to mile 608.5) 10 feet; Doboy Sound (mile 649.2) 10 feet; Rockdedundy River (mile 652.9 to mile 653.1) 11 feet; Little Mud River (mile 654.3 to mile 655.1) 10 feet; Altamaha Sound (mile 656.1 to mile 656.5) 11 feet; But- termilk Sound (mile 662.4 to mile 664.7) 11 feet; St. Simon 390 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - ---SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 391 The plane of reference is mean low water, which varies for different parts of the harbor. The mean range of tide is 7.9 feet at the upper end of the harbor and 7.0 feet at the lower end. Extreme ranges are about 10.7 feet and 11.4 feet, respectively. Tides below mean low water occur 6 or 7 times a month and minus 2-foot tides occur from 6 to 8 times a year. The improve- ment has increased the mean tidal range by about 2.8 feet at the upper end. The project was completed at a cost of $9,039,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects.

S. ARMY, 1960 tures were estimated to total $266,000 (1956). The average an- nual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $1,236,178. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Acts approved No- vember 7, 1945, and July 24, 1946, impose the conditions that local interests shall: (1) Provide free of cost to the United States, all lands and rights-of-way required for the initial construction and subsequent maintenance when and as required; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construc- tion works. The River and Harbor Act approved on September 3, 1954, in authorizing the construction of the new turning basin and extension of the 34-foot channel further required that local interests: (1) Provide, free of cost to the United States, and prior to the initiation of any construction work, all lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil areas necessary for ini- tial work for this improvement and for the subsequent mainte- nance of the entire project; and (2) agree to hold and save the United States from damages due to construction and maintenance of the project. The mayor and aldermen of the city of Savannah, on March 6, 1957, resolved to act as local assurer under the conditions set forth above and secure necessary spoilage easements in Savannah Harbor. The city of Savannah, Ga., as local assurer, has supplied sat- isfactory spoilage easements for all required spoilage areas speci- fied by the "Twenty-five-year spoilage plan, Savannah Harbor." Terminal facilities. There are 50 piers and wharves to serve waterborne commerce of the port. These facilities, with the use of dolphins, have a combined berthing space of 28,404 feet with depths of water alongside ranging from zero to 34 feet at mean low water. Five of these terminals are opposite the city on Hutchinson Island; the remaining 45 are on the south side of the river between 3.8 miles below and 6.8 miles above the center of the city. Four piers and wharves are operated by railroads, six by oil companies, two by coal companies, five by ship repair com- panies, 16 by various private industries, and 10 by the Georgia Ports Authority. The site of a former shipyard has been ac- quired by the city of Savannah for future development of indus- trial sites. There is a large municipal wharf at the center of the city. All have railway and highway connections. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. For further de- tails, see Port Series No. 14, Corps of Engineers (revised 1954). Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: The United States pipeline dredge Henry Bacon did maintenance dredging in the upper and inner harbor during the period July 6, 1959 to June 30, 1960, removing 4,931,199 cubic yards of ma- terial at a cost of $851,294. Construction of spoil dikes utilized 1,326,298 cubic yards of material at a cost of $231,324, including contract surveys. Construction of spoil dike by dragline cost $77,072. Dragging and sweeping the inner harbor cost $6,009. Condition and operation studies and miscellaneous inspections and reports cost $92,319. Included in this amount is $28,709 for operation of the model of Savannah Harbor. The scheduled RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 393 model tests have been completed and the report of the findings and recommendations is being prepared. Liquidation of U.S. dredge Gillespie's pipeline deferred account cost $27,343. Credits to the project for agitation dredging of 66,589 cubic yards of material by private industry were $42,989. Costs held in the Revolving Fund as of June 30, 1960 amounted to $1,079. The total cost for maintenance from project funds was $1,241,293. In June 1960, least depths in midchannel for half-project width at mean low water were 31 feet from the sea to Blinker 24 (in the vicinity of Fort Pulaski) ; thence 32 feet to and through the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge; thence 33 feet to the State Port Terminal; thence 29 feet to the Savannah Sugar Refinery's wharf; thence varying from 25 feet to 12 feet at the extreme upper limits of the harbor. The turning basins had the follow- ing controlling depths: Kings Island turning basin, 36 feet; State Port turning basin, 33 feet; Whitehall turning basin 26 feet; Port Wentworth turning basin, 13 feet in the lower half and 14 feet in the upper half. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1960, were $9,037,793 for new work, including $11,200 for preauthorization study, and $30,574,604 for maintenance, a total of $39,612,397. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is com- plete. The 30-foot channel and extension of the harbor above the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge was completed February 5, 1948. The 34-foot channel was completed January 7, 1953. Extension of 34-foot channel to a point above the Georgia Ports Authority terminal with a turning basin at upper end was com- pleted December 4, 1958.

April 15, 1951. The previous 30-foot project from the sea to old quarantine station was completed in 1930, and the rest of the 30-foot channel in 1937. That part of the previous 26-foot chan- nel from the Seaboard Air Line Railroad bridge to the foot of Kings Island was completed in 1931; the rest, from the foot of Kings Island to the Atlantic Creosoting wharf, including the turning basin opposite the Savannah Sugar Refinery's wharf, in 1937. Crosstides Channel was closed with a hydraulic fill in 1937. The anchorage basin and mooring dolphins near Fort Oglethorpe were completed in 1926; of the 10 dolphins originally constructed, all have been destroyed. The channel enlargements at Drakies 394 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Cut, Kings Island, and at West Broad and Barnard Streets, were completed in 1931, 1929, and 1924, respectively. Whitehall chan- nel training wall was completed in 1929 and was replaced by three spur dikes in 1937; these spur dikes are in good condition. Fig Island training wall was raised and extended in 1940 and is in good condition. Long Island training wall hydraulic fill was completed in 1931 and other training walls and jetties prior to 1929, and are in fair condition. 3. SAVANNAH RIVER BELOW AGUSTA, GA. Location. This river is formed by the confluence of the Tuga- loo and Seneca Rivers on the northwestern part of the South Carolina-Georgia boundary line. It flows southeast 314 miles, forming the boundary line, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean 16.6 miles below Savannah, Ga. (See U.S. Geological Survey maps of South Carolina and Georgia.) Previous project. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A subdivision between new work and mainte- nance is not possible. For further details see page 1813, Annual Report for 1915 and page 581, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. Provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 90 feet wide (at ordinary summer flow, which corresponds to a discharge of 5,300 second-feet at Augusta, Ga., with the Clark Hill powerplant in operation), from the upper end of Savannah Harbor to the head of navigation at Augusta, 3 miles above Fifth Street Bridge, about 199 miles. The improvement is to be ob- tained by construction of one lock and dam at New Savannah Bluff, use of contraction works, closure of cutoffs, bank protec- tion, dredging, removal of snags, overhanging trees and wrecks, and open-river regulation. The mean tidal variation at the mouth of the river is 7.1 feet. The freshet variation above the normal pool level (elevation 114.5 mean sea level) of the New Savannah Bluff lock and dam at the head of the improvement is ordinarily about 13 feet with an extreme of 34 feet. Pertinent data for the lock and dam are given in the following table: Lock and dam at New Savannah Bluff Nearest railroad station.......................... Augusta, Ga., 13 miles.

The River and Harbor Act approved May 17, 1950, in authorizing the project provided that local interests: (1) Furnish, without cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and spoil-disposal areas for the new work and sub- sequent maintenance, when and as required; (2) hold and save the United States free from any damage resulting from construc- tion and maintenance of the improvement; and (3) provide and maintain adequate terminal and transfer facilities, including a suitable public terminal at Augusta, Ga., open to all on equal terms. By resolutions passed on August 5 and 6, 1957, the City Council of Augusta, Ga., and the Georgia Ports Authority agreed to act jointly and/or severally as local assurer, for the project in ac- cordance with requirements of the Act as set forth above. The General Assembly of the State of South Carolina passed legisla- tion authorizing the South Carolina Ports Authority to act in a similar capacity. In the event it should become necessary to con- demn any of the required lands, the Ports Authority of the State in which the lands are located will act on behalf of the city of Augusta, Ga. The necessary rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas required for the first four contracts have been secured by local interests. Requirements for the last two contracts will not be known until plans and specifications are further advanced. No difficulty is anticipated in securing remaining easements and rights-of-entry. Terminal facilities. The only water terminals served by this improvement are at Augusta and at or near Savannah. The city of Augusta, Ga., completed municipal dock facilities in Jan- uary 1956 valued at $50,000. In addition, the Georgia Ports Au- thority plans to construct a State Port at Augusta. State and local funds of $400,000 are available for this purpose. A short 396 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 distance below the city terminal the Pure Oil Co. has a terminal (storage capacity of 27,500 barrels) for berthing and discharg- ing oil barges; Texaco, Inc. has completed a terminal for berth- ing and discharging oil barges; and just below is the Merry Brothers Brick and Tile Co.'s terminal. This company also has ter- minal facilities at Savannah. At Savannah there is one munici- pal wharf and State docks suitable for berths for river steamers, open to the public on equal terms. In addition, there are exten- sive facilities at Savannah, privately owned, for oceangoing and smaller vessels. Along the river there are numerous natural landings without wharves or railway connections. The terminal facilities are considered ample for existing commerce. Operations ,and results during fiscal year. New work: Clear- ing, grubbing, ,and snagging by hired labor cost $7,305. Con- tract dredge No. 1, Trans State Dredging Co., did channel and cutoff dredging between mile 116.9 and mile 71.1 during the period July 1, 1959 to September 1, 1959, removing from the channel 109,790 cubic yards of material, and from 4 cutoffs 88,110 cubic yards of material at a cost of $126,360. Pile 1-" 1020 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The costs were $240,746 for operation and ordinary mainte- nance of locks and dams and $160,855 for rehabilitation of chan- nels and structures, a total of $401,601. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1917. The work accomplished under the project has been the rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and the 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 of the Kentucky River is in poor con- dition. Repairs have been made to the deteriorated locks and dams as required to keep the locks in operation and to maintain pool levels above the dams except in extreme dry weather, when some pools fall below normal levels. Channel work has been performed as required to relieve critical hardship conditions for existing river traffic. The controlling navigable depth in the section covered by the existing project was 6 feet at the end of the fiscal year. All locks were staffed with two employees each for the lockage of the limited amount of commercial traffic using the river.

COVINGTON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, KY. Location. In Kenton County, Ky., on the left bank of the Ohio River and the left bank of the Licking River at their confluence, 470.5 miles below Pittsburgh, Pa. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of 2,514 feet of earth levee and 3,171 feet of con- FLOOD CONTROL--LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1025 crete wall along the Ohio River; 7,710 feet of earth levee and 1,596 feet of concrete wall along the Licking River; 10 pumping plants; and other necessary appurtenances. The Ohio River sec- tion begins near Second and Wright Streets, extends along the left bank of the river on or near Second Street to Washington Street, then northeast to Riverside Drive, paralleling Riverside Drive on the south side to Greenup Street, thence along the west side of this street in a southerly direction to high ground. The Licking River section begins about 300 feet east of Eighth and Garrard Streets, parallels this latter street and Prospect Street at a distance of about 300 feet on the riverside to 12th Street, thence parallel to Maryland Street on the riverside for 800 feet, thence in a southerly direction parallel and adjacent to the left bank of Licking River to a point near Oakland Street 500 feet south of Wallace Avenue, thence about 300 feet west to high ground. This section also includes about 670 feet of earth levee along Eastern Avenue between Wallace Avenue and 26th Street, and about 240 feet of concrete wall to protect Booth Hospital in the vicinity of Kennedy and Third Streets. The project will pro- vide protection for the city of Covington, Ky., against Ohio and Licking River floods equal to the 1937 flood (maximum of record) with a 3-foot freeboard. The (1960) estimated Federal cost of the project is $9,130,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $765,000. The existing project has been selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. Local cooperation. Bond issue to cover rights-of-way and damage costs were voted on November 6, 1945. Formal as- surances of local cooperation were adopted on November 29, 1945, by the board of commissioners of the city of Covington and ap- proved September 26, 1947. Rights-of-way have been acquired necessary for construction work, except for ponding area at Willow Run pumping plant, where a State highway relocation conflicts with ponding requirements. This problem has not been resolved. The funds contributed for joint design, engineering studies, and construction of sewere facilities along Licking River totaled $295,622.

The reservoir extends upstream about 3 miles and lies within Hamilton County, Ohio. Existing project. The project consists of a reservoir for flood control, recreation, and reduction of pumping requirements at the Mill Creek barrier dam in Cincinnati. It includes the dam, which consists of an earth embankment with a maximum height of about 100 feet, and a total length of 1,100 feet, 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, and appurtenant works. A permanent pool at elevation 675 having an area of 183 acres is provided. 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, is utilized for FLOOD CONTROL--LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT 1027 reduction of flooding in the Mill Creek Valley as well as reduction of pumping requirements at the Mill Creek barrier dam of the Cincinnati local flood-protection project. The estimated Federal cost of the project (1960) is $3,088,000; the estimated non-Federal cost is $570,801 which amount in- cludes $50,000 contributed in fulfillment of project authorization. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $30,500. The latest published map is contained in House Document 198, 80th Congress, 1st session. The existing project was selected for construction under the additional authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. Local cooperation. The authorization required local interests to release necessary land under their control at no cost to the United States and give assurances that they would prevent future channel encroachment below the damsite in connection with the flood-control reservoir. For enlargement of the reser- voir to include a conservation pool, local interest would contribute one-half the additional cost of such pool, including one-half the cost of relocation of sanitary sewer, and agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from its provision. The board of county commissioners of Hamilton County, Ohio, adopted a resolution on October 8, 1947, signifying willingness to fulfill local cooperation requirements including the provision of the conservation pool. Assurances of local cooperation were exe- cuted on the same date. A contract with the United States for the relocation of the sanitary sewer outside the reservoir area in order to include the conservation pool in the project was accepted by Hamilton County, in which the United States paid one-half the cost of such relocation work. The amount of $50,000, required as a local contribution toward the additional cost of providing the conservation pool, was furnished by the Hamilton County Commissioners. The Hamilton County Park district has undertaken the develop- ment and management of recreation facilities in the reservoir area for use of the public in accordance with license granted by the Secretary of the Army on October 31, 1951. Operations and results during fiscal year. Routine operations and maintenance were performed during the year.

MASSILLON, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. Massillon, Ohio, is located in Stark County, on the Tuscarawas River, 200 miles above the mouth of the Muskingum River. Existing project. The project providing for improvement of the channel of the Tuscarawas River, together with the construc- tion of drainage facilities, levees, and pump stations, consists of the following features: 12,800 linear feet of channel rectification FLOOD CONTROL-HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1069 and improvements; 4,300 feet of new channel; two reinforced concrete pressure conduits with a total length of 4,300 feet; 15,900 feet of earth levee; 200 feet of concrete wall; four pump stations; and three gate openings. The project necessitated the relocation of 6 miles of railroad; the construction of five railroad bridges, railroad terminal facilities, one highway bridge, and two highway viaducts; the removal of three railroad bridges, one highway bridge, and 10,550 feet of railroad track; and the raising of one highway bridge. The project provides protection (with 3-foot freeboard) against a flood with peak discharge 20 percent greater than maximum of record. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin, contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The project was constructed at a total Federal cost of $8,139,406. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $5,700. Local cooperation. None required by law, however, the Massil- lon Conservancy District, a corporation and political subdivision of the State of Ohio, acting for the city of Massillon, Ohio, con- tributed $477,813 for the construction of two pressure conduits, two viaducts over the Tuscarawas River, and furnished rights-of- way required for the improvements outside the scope of the authorized project. On June 4, 1940, the Massillon Conservancy District furnished assurance that it would maintain and operate, after completion, without cost to the United States, all pump stations and maintain all grade elimination structures according to law. The Massillon Conservancy District's obligations, relative to the operation and maintenance of the project, were delegated to and accepted by the city of Massillon.

The Muskingum River lies in southeastern Ohio and, with its tributaries, drains approximately 8,000 square miles. Its headwaters rise about 25 miles south of Lake Erie and it flows into the Ohio River at Marietta, Ohio, 172.2 miles below Pitts- burgh, Pa. Existing project. This project provides for the construction, operation, and maintenance of 14 reservoirs and appurtenant works in the Muskingum River Basin. It was originally author- ized 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 elimi- nation of a project for channel improvement of the Tuscarawas River at Massillon, Ohio. Allotments totaling $27,190,000 were made from December 1933 to July 1937 by the Public Works Ad- ministration to aid in financing construction of this project. The project was operated and maintained by the conservancy district from July 1938 to August 1939 when it was taken over by the Corps of Engineers for maintenance and operation in accordance with the provisions of the Flood Control Act approved August 11, 1939. The Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, authorized and directed the Secretary of War to reimburse the conservancy dis- trict a sum not to exceed the actual expenditures made by it in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-of-way for reservoirs in the Muskingum River Valley, such reimbursements not to exceed $4,500,000, nor include an 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 FLOOD CONTROL--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1071 provide for the most efficient operation of those reservoirs, at an estimated cost of $2,200,000. The estimate of Federal cost for new work (1960), is 40,800,- 000 of which $18,281,900 is for construction, and $22,518,100 is for lands and damages. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $278,300. The table on the following page gives the principal features of the 14 reservoirs. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details, see An- nual Report for 1942, page 1257. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: A con- tract for improving the channel of Black Fork, downstream from the Charles Mill Reservoir, was awarded December 18, 1959. Work under the contract was initiated March 22, 1960, and ad- vanced to 48 percent completion. Under the land acquisition pro- gram, all deeds or agreements were executed covering the required properties. Engineering work relative to planning for raising Brewster and Somerdale levees was continued. Operation and maintenance, general: The reservoirs were op- erated for the benefit of flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the dams and their appurtenances, and to the operator's quarters and grounds. General and moderate rains during the latter part of March and early April 1960 caused rises in the reservoirs which re- sulted in the storage of 184,800 acre-feet of water. The Muskin- gum River crested at Coshocton at 10.0 feet; Dresden at 16.3 feet; Zanesville at 17.8 feet; and McConnelsville at 8.9 feet.

The damsite of the Tom Jenkins 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 damsite. The reservoir created, provid- ing 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 pipeline. The reservoir affords substantial protec- tion to the Sunday Creek Valley and serves as a unit of the co- ordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking River and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir also provides an assured source of 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 estimate of Federal cost for new work (1955) is $2,090,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $20,400. Local cooperation. Local or State interests are required to fur- nish funds for the project equal to the difference between the total estimated first cost and the capitalized flood-control benefits. House bill 496 passed by the Ohio State Legislature appropriated funds to cover local and State obligations relative to the project. By agreement entered into January 22, 1948, between the Depart- ment of the Army, Corps of Engineers and the Division of Con- servation and Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, State of Ohio, the State 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 was unable to acquire certain reservoir lands and 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 an- nually 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: None, pending action of the court in docketing for jury trial condemna- tion cases covering the value of mineral interests under 11 tracts. Operation and maintenance, general: The reservoir was op- erated for flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the structures and appurtenances throughout the year. FLOOD CONTROL--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1079 Moderate rains during the latter part of March and early April 1960 resulted in the storage of 665 acre-feet of water. Sun- day Creek at Glouster crested at 10.1 feet and the Hocking River at Athens crested at 10.8 feet. The reductions effected by the reservoir were 0.6 foot at Glouster and 0.2 foot at Athens. The above stages are below damage stage. The Federal cost during the fiscal year for maintenance and operations was $24,124. In addition $88 for new work was ex- pended from contributed funds.

The reservoir will be operated as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Pound, Russell Fork, Levisa Fork, and Big Sandy Valleys, generally, and to a lesser degree, for the Ohio River Valley. The existing project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June FLOOD CONTROL--HUNTINGTON, W. VA., DISTRICT 1091 28, 1938. The estimate of Federal cost for new work (1960) is $17 million. Local cooperation. None required by Law. No work for the benefit of the public with funds other than Corps of Engineers funds is presently proposed. Operations and results during fiscal year. The general design memorandum, and memoranda relative to dam and spillway, hy- drology, and real estate requirements at dam, outlet works and diversion tunnel were advanced to completion. Other egineering studies and planning were continued. A contract for construc- tion of the diversion tunnel was awarded January 25, 1960, and work advanced to 37 percent completion. A contract for con- struction of an access road was awarded May 25, 1960. Pre- liminary real estate work in connection with the acquisition of lands and easements was commenced. Possession was obtained through court on those tracts for which rights of entry could not be obtained for the access road. A contract for engineering services covering the furnishing of tract maps and tract owner- ship data was entered into during the fiscal year and was ad- vanced to completion. The total Federal cost for new work dur- ing the fiscal year was $843,983. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated February 5, 1960, with work under contract for con- structing a diversion tunnel. At the end of the year this work was well advanced. Construction under an access road contract was initiated late in the fiscal year. Plans and specifications for the dam, spillway and intake structure are 75 percent complete. Land-acquisition work is in progress and rights of entry on pos- session through court have been obtained for tracts required for construction operations. An estimated 300 tracts of land will be required for the project. The total Federal cost for new work to the end of the fiscal year was $1,175,761.

The plan provides for channel capacity to carry the design flow which ranges from 650 cubic feet per second in the upper reaches to 2000 cubic feet per second at the mouth and has a frequency of occurrence of once in 50 years. It would eliminate damages, which result from floods caused by overflow of channels of the existing Calumet Union Drainage System in Harvey, Ill. and the neighboring communities of Hazel Crest, Markham, Phoenix, Dixmoor, and Posen. Local cooperation. The requisite local cooperation consists of: a. Modification of all highway and foot bridges and relocation of all utilities. b. Provision without cost to the United States, of all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the contruction ,of the project. c. Hold and save the United States free from damages result- ing from the construction works. d. Establish and enforce regulations satisfactory to the Sec- retary of the Army designed to prevent encroachments on the improved channel. e. Maintenance and operation of the project works after com- pletion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. As funds have not been appropriated for the project, formal assurances have not been requested. Local interests are inter- ested in the project and it is anticipated that all requirements will be complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance engineer- ing was accomplished at a cost of $15,381. Condition at end of fiscal year. No work has been started. The work remaining to be accomplished consists of: (a) enlarge- ment of Calumet Union Drainage Ditch and some of its connec- tions, (b) modification of five railroad bridges, four highway bridges, nine road culverts, one farm bridge, one foot bridge, and (c) relocation of 3 miles of powerlines.

This provides for: channels permitting 25.5- foot draft navigation in the St. Marys River and in the Lake Superior and Lake Huron approaches thereto; constructing and operating 4 locks and 2 canals; constructing a hydroelectric plant of 14,000-kilowatt capacity (45,000-kw ultimate capacity); con- structing anchorage areas in the river above and below the locks; and constructing various other works in conjunction with the project. The Poe lock was operated and maintained under the permanent indefinite appropriation from August 3, 1896, the Davis lock from October 21, 1914 and the Sabin lock from Sep- tember 18, 1919, to the end of the fiscal year 1935. The original State locks were operated and maintained under the same ap- propriation from June 9, 1881, to November 2, 1886, after which they were destroyed by excavation for the present Poe lock. The Weitzel lock, destroyed in 1942 by excavation for the MacArthur lock, was operated and maintained under the same appropriation from September 1, 1881 to the end of the fiscal year 1935.

ARMY, 1960 Project depths are referred to low-water datum corresponding to the sloping surface of the river as follows: Above the locks: When the water surface of Lake Superior is at elevation 601.6 feet and at the upstream side of the locks is 601.1 feet above mean tide at New York. Below the locks: When the water surface at the downstream side of the locks is elevation 579.4 feet and Lake Huron is 578.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the St. Marys River rises and falls about 1 foot as measured by 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 1913, 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, revised in 1960, is $158,752,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, and includes $3,550,000 for construction of new lift bridge which is discussed under separate project. The average annual mainte- nance cost during the past 5 years was $1,955,344. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. This improvement serves the through commerce between Lake Superior and the lower lakes and has not materially influenced the terminal facilities at the localities along its route. Three docks at Sault Ste. Marie receive coal, limestone, and petroleum products. Limestone is shipped from a dock at Drummond Island. Vessel refueling stations are located at Lime Island and the village of Detour; they receive coal and petroleum products. Present terminals satisfy current traffic requirements. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Channels. Surveys, plans, and specifications were completed for dredging channels near Brush Point, courses 2 and 3, all courses in the West Neebish Channel, and Lake Munuscong from Moon Island to Lime Island. Contracts for dredging have been awarded for the first three areas, and Government plant and hired labor started dredging the Lake Munuscong area. Surveys and plans and specifications have been partially completed for dredging work in the west approach, South Canal of the locks, and course 1, Bayfield Channel. Dredging work under two contracts was completed in the Middle Neebish Channel, courses 6, 8, and 9. The project deepening of this channel was completed. All traffic is currently routed through this channel. The West Neebish Channel was closed to navigation and contract dredging was started in courses 6 and 7. Dredging operations were also started in Round Island Shoals, Vidal Shoals, and Angle courses 1 and 2.

The total cost of new work for the fiscal year, including surveys, supervision, and administration was $9,037,370. Maintenance: Operation and care. Locks. The canals and four locks were operated as required, and necessary repairs and im- provements were made thereto and to the appurtenant structures and equipment. The canal was open to navigation 261 days, from July 1, 1959 to December 23, 1959, and from April 7, 1960 to June 30, 1960. During that period, a total of 15,023 vessels, aggregating 70,711,292 short tons of freight and 175,993 pas- sengers, passed through the MacArthur, Davis, and Sabin locks in 11,120 lockages. There were no lockages through the Poe lock. Cost during the fiscal year was $1,338,334, all hired labor. Powerhouse and equipment. The new powerhouse and unit No. 10 were operated and maintained. Costs during the fiscal year were $138,717 for hired labor, less a deduction of $16,420 for interdepartmental electricity sold. Other operation and care items. Buildings and grounds were maintained; security measures were enforced; condition and operation studies, inspections, and reports were made or compiled as required, all by hired labor. Cost during the fiscal year was $253,085. Rehabilitation: Locks. Work continued during fiscal year on repairs to the concrete masonry walls of the Sabin lock by gunit- ing; renewed steam and air lines between Davis and Sabin Locks; enlarging duct line south side of Sabin lock; modification of electrical controls-Sabin Lock; manhole replacement for under- ground cable system; and rebuilding of one leaf-Sabin lock guard gate. Work was begun on walkways across west operating gates of the Davis and Sabin locks, rebuilding the west wall of the Poe lock building basement; and installation of separate North Pier primary cable. Cost during the fiscal year was $254,583. Channels and canals. Repairs to the guide walls of West Neebish Rock Cut were performed at a cost of $168.

This river, a section of the Great Lakes connecting channels, is 40 miles long and flows in a southerly direction from Lake Huron into Lake St. Clair. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 43.) Existing project. This provides for channels through the St. Clair River, which, at low-water datum, are suitable for vessels drawing 25.5 feet. The project also provides for compensating works, consisting of a number (estimated at 31) of submerged rock sills, with crests 31 feet below datum. Project depths are referred 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 the 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. The water at the head of St. Clair River, as measured by monthly mean levels 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 has been about 4.5 feet.

The Act approved March 21, 1956, provides for a project safe draft of 25.5 feet over the full width of the downbound and two- way channels when the levels of Lakes Huron and St. Clair are at their respective low-water datums; except that a cutoff channel may be constructed in Canada at Southeast Bend, generally in accordance with the alternate plan of the district engineer and with such modification thereof as in the discretion of the Chief of Engineers is advisable, in lieu of further improvement along the existing alinement, if prior to the initiation of construction in this reach accomplishment of the cutoff is found to be feasible. Accomplishment of the cutoff channel was found to be feasible during the current fiscal year and therefore the existing project for Southeast Bend is to provide the cutoff channel in accordance with the alternate plan of the district engineer for that section. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960, is RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1343 $28,869,000. The average annual maintenance cost .during the past 5 years was $42,228. The project feature for construction of the compensating works, consisting of submerged rock sills, was previously considered inactive. During the current fiscal year, the portion of the rock sills necessary to compensate for deepening of the connecting channels (presently estimated at four) was reclassified in the active category. The estimated cost for these four sills, revised in 1960, is $6,240,000. This cost is included in the foregoing estimated cost of new work. No expense of maintenance will probably be required for submerged sills. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. This improvement serves the through com- merce between the upper and lower Great Lakes, and has not materially influenced the terminal facilities along its route. At Port Huron, Mich., there are nine privately owned docks for receiving coal, limestone, petroleum products, and wood pulp. A new terminal has been established for receiving and shipping general cargo. At Marysville, Mich., there are two privately owned docks, one for receiving coal and the other for shipping salt. At St. Clair, Mich., there are two privately owned docks for receiving coal, and at Marine City, Mich., there is one privately owned dock for receiving coal and limestone. These installations satisfy present commerce requirements. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Contract work for deepening the Foot-of-Lake Huron Channel to a project depth of 30 feet was continued at a cost of $2,717,032. A contract was awarded in the amount of $1,198,940 for deepening the chan- nels from Port Huron to Stag Island to obtain a project depth of 27.3 feet. A contract was awarded in the amount of $4,369,170 for constructing the Canadian portion of the Southeast Bend Cutoff Channel to provide a channel 700 feet wide with a project depth of 27.1 feet. The contract cost for this work during the fiscal year was $512,435. A contract was awarded in the amount of $854,920 for deepening the channel west of Stag Island, in- cluding the widenings at the upstream and downstream ends, to a project depth of 27.3 feet below low-water datum. Preconstruc- tion planning for the remainder of the St. Clair River project was continued throughout the fiscal year. This planning included field investigations and preparation of design memorandums, and plans and specifications for portions of the project. Total cost of the preconstruction planning was $305,150. The total cost for new work during the fiscal year was $3,776,083. Maintenance: Condition surveys were made at a cost of $26,057. Revisory survey costs applied to United States Lake Survey operations were $1,860. Costs incurred in obtaining easements for spoil-disposal areas and other pertinent real estate charges amount to $35. Costs of supervision and administration of the project were $1,391. Total costs during the fiscal year for maintenance were $29,343. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project in effect prior to the modifications of July 24, 1946 and March 21, 1956, has been 1344 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 completed except for construction of the submerged rock sills. The percentage of completion of the various channels now under contract is as follows: Foot-of-Lake Huron Channel, 84 percent; and Canadian portion of Southeast Bend Cutoff Channel, 10 percent. Contracts for Port Huron to Stag Island Channel and channel west of Stag Island were awarded but no work was performed this fiscal year. The controlling depth throughout the project for the upbound channels is 21 feet and 25 feet for down- bound channels.

Lake St. Clair, a section of the Great Lakes connect- ing channels, is an expansive shallow basin having a steamer track length of 18 miles from the mouth of the St. Clair River to the head of the Detroit River. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of August 30, 1852, March 2, 1867, and March 3, 1878. For further details, see page 2882, Annual Report for 1896; pages 1957-1958, Annual Report for 1915, and page 1539, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for an improved channel 700 feet wide from the mouth of the South Channel of the St. Clair River to the open channel in Lake St. Clair, thence widening gradually to 800 feet in a distance of about 2 miles and maintain- ing that width to the head of the Detroit River, all to a depth of RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1345 27.5 feet. Also provided is a stone riprapped earth dike, 7,221 feet long, on the east side of the mouth of the south channel of the St. Clair River. On completion of the Southeast Bend Cutoff Channel, St. Clair River, the section from the mouth of the south channel of the St. Clair River to the open channel in Lake St. Clair will be abandoned. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. As measured by monthly mean levels, the water may rise and fall during the navigation season each year as much as 1.4 feet. Since 1860 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.5 feet. Occasional fluctuations due to winds of high velocity may be as much as 1 foot in 6 hours. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960 is $8,977,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $15,921.

It is 31 miles long and flows south from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 41.) Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1874, July 5, 1884, August 5, 1886, August 11, 1888, July 13, 1892, and March 3, 1889. For further details see page 1958 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1541 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for: improving the Detroit River main channels to provide for 25.5-foot draft navigation; improving certain auxiliary and side channels; and for construc- tion of various water-level and cross-current control structures. Details of the existing project are presented in the accompanying tables. Project depths are referred to local low-water datum planes which correspond to low-water datum for Lakes St. Clair and Erie and are at 573.5 and 570.5 feet, respectively, above mean tide at New York. Each year during the navigation season the river rises and falls about 2 feet as measured by the monthly mean levels. Since 1906 the difference between the highest and lowest monthly mean level during the navigation season has been about 4.0 feet. Occasional fluctuations in depths of several feet, produced by high easterly or westerly winds, respectively, raise or lower the water level at the west end of Lake Erie, and similarly effect the level of the lower Detroit River; such changes have been as much as 6 feet within 8 hours. RIVERS AND HARBORS -DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1347 The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $73,934,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $127,887.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed portions of the project. For the American Channel north of Belle Isle as authorized by the act of 1945, local interests are required to fur- nish free of cost to the United States, suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance when and as required, and hold and save the United States from free claims for damages resulting from the improvement. For the Trenton Channel modification approved May 17, 1950, responsible local agencies are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secre- tary 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. No local cooperation is required in connection with the modifications authorized by the acts of July 24, 1946 and March 21, 1956. Terminal facilities. Within the limits of the Port of Detroit, ex- cluding the Rouge River, there are 41 active commercial docks RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1349 used for handling coal, iron ore, limestone, steel products, pe- troleum products, and other items such as overseas general cargo. These terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Con- struction work for various reaches of the Great Lakes connecting channels was as follows: (a) Contract work for deepening the Amherstburg Channel was completed at a contract cost of $1,770,284 during the fiscal year; (b) A contract in the amount of $4,160,790 was awarded for deepening the head of Detroit River channel. Construction work under this contract was not initiated during the fiscal year; (c) A contract in the amount of $2,473,080 was awarded for deepening Fighting Island Channel. Construction was not initiated except for layout and plant mobili- zation; (d) A contract in the amount of $2,923,870 was awarded for work on the Canadian portion of the lower Livingstone Chan- nel. Work on this portion of the project was not started during the fiscal year. Work on the upper Livingstone Channel was begun by the United States derrickboat Huron at cost of $41,488 during the fiscal year; (e) hired-labor dredging by the U.S. hopper dredge Markham was begun and continued on the East Outer Channel at a cost of $275,647 during the fiscal year, and (f) Government plant performed sweeping and removal of mis- cellaneous shoals and obstructions in the channel from Detroit River Light to Pelee Passage at a fiscal year cost of $67,064. The total cost for new work during the fiscal year was $2,723,694. Maintenance: Condition surveys were made in the Livingstone Channel of the Detroit River during April 1960 at a cost of $24,165. Revisory survey costs applied to United States Lake Survey operations were $4,184. Costs incurred in obtaining ease- ments for spoil-disposal areas and other pertinent real estate charges amount to $12. The location and removal of obstruction about 21-foot depth in Amherstburg Channel and above 26-foot depth in Livingstone Channel were accomplished by a sweeping survey consisting of U.S. tug Judson and sweep raft No. 2 at a cost of $24,468. Costs of supervision and administration of the project were $1,475. All work was performed by hired labor and use of Government plant. Total costs during the fiscal year for maintenance were $54,304. Condition at end of fiscal year. Amherstburg Channel, includ- ing the compensating dikes, was completed. The upper Living- stone Channel is 27 percent complete. The East Outer Channel is 14 percent complete. Detroit River Light to Pelee Passage is 70 percent complete. The project in effect prior to the modification of March 21, 1956, with the exception of the channel north of Belle Isle, deep- ening 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 weather- 1350 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 ing.

New work: Pre- construction planning for the authorized 800-foot uncompleted extension of the west pier; including field surveys, preparation of a general design memorandum and preparation of plans and specifications were initiated and completed at a cost of $14,654. A construction contract in the amount of $570,387 was awarded. Construction was not initiated and no costs were incurred under the contract. Total costs for new work during the fiscal year were $14,654. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 80 percent complete. Parallel piers were built 500 feet apart, 1,912 and 1,695 feet long, respectively, including 100 and 250 feet of pile revetment at the inner end of the west and east piers re- spectively; 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 the 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 has been rebuilt in concrete and the balance of this pier is in fair condition but needs some timber decking and stone cover. The timber portion of the pile dike is in poor condition and the stone pro- tection has settled. Some portions of the dike have been entirely destroyed by wave action. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were 12 feet deep in the lake approach and 17 feet in the channel. To complete the project there remains to construct the 800 linear feet of extension to the existing west pier now in progress and dredging to widen the inner portion of the channel from 250 feet to the project width of 300 feet.

They include a car-ferry slip; a large privately owned wharf equipped with warehouse, transient shed, and cold-storage plant; and several wharves used for handling coal, petroleum products, building materials, and miscellaneous commodities. There is a sand wharf at the west end of Muskegon Lake south of the inner end of the improved channel. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce:. Operations and results during fiscal year. Condition surveys were made over the entire project during March 1960 at a cost of $3,815. Maintenance dredging was accomplished by the U.S. hopper dredge Hains during July 1959 and June 1960, removing 37,364 cubic yards of material, bin measure, at a cost of $12,636. Costs incurred in obtaining easements for spoil-disposal areas and other pertinent real estate charges amount to $9. Costs of supervision and administration of the project were $183. The south breakwater was riprapped with 2,845 tons of stone at a cost of $27,187. Emergency repairs to the south revetment were accomplished at a cost of $614. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. Total costs for maintenance this fiscal year were $44,444. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1938. Construction of the south breakwater and shore connection was commenced in May 1928 and completed in Decem- ber 1930. The construction of the north breakwater and shore connection and the removal of portions of the old piers were com- menced in June 1930 and completed in December 1931. Deepening and widening of the entrance channel to existing project depth and width were commenced and completed in June 1932. Repairs to the south revetment around the old car-ferry slip were com- menced in May 1938, and completed in October 1938. The outer 54 feet of the south breakwater were removed in 1939, which increased the width between the outer ends of the breakwaters to 555 feet. The south breakwater is therefore maintained for only a length of 1,460 feet. The breakwaters and shore con- nections are in generally good condition except for the outer end of the north breakwater. The inner piers and revetments are in fair condition. The controlling depths at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year were 24 to 21 feet in the channel through the outer harbor and 21 feet in the channel to Muskegon Lake. 1370 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Recommended modification of project. On February 5, 1960 the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project to provide for: Dredging to a depth of 25 feet over the full width in the entrance channel in Lake Michigan and 23 feet in the river chan- nel over its authorized width to Manistee Lake, suitably widened at bends; and Federal participation in the cost of replacing the Maple Street Bridge over Manistee River providing clearance for a channel 100 feet wide, with apportionment of the cost between the bridge owner and the United States in accordance with the principles of section 6, Public Law 647, 76th Congress, as amended. The total estimated cost to the United States, based on August 1959 price levels, is $1,747,000 with no increase in the annual cost for maintenance. The recommended modification was sub- mitted to Congress on March 4, 1960. Local cooperation. The act of July 3, 1930 provided, "that no work shall be undertaken on the section of the river through and above the bridges until they have been modified in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of War". The Smith Street Bridge and the railroad bridge have been rebuilt, but the Maple Street Highway Bridge has not been modified as required. RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1377 All other requirements have been complied with. Terminal facilities. Docks are located on both sides of the river and on Manistee Lake. Commerce handled includes coal, sand, salt, and general cargo. In addition, there is a Government wharf and a city-owned recreational-craft pier which is open to the public. These facilities satisfy current commerce require- ments. Operations and results during fiscal year. Condition surveys were made over the entire project channel during February and May 1960 at a cost of $3,579. Revisory survey costs applied to U.S. Lake Survey operations were $929.

SAGINAW RIVER, MICH. Location. This river, formed by the union of the Tittabawas- see and Shiawassee Rivers, is 22 miles long, and flows northerly into the extreme inner end of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. The cities of Saginaw and Bay city are located on the river. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 524.) Previous projects. Authorized by River and Harbor Acts of June 23, 1866; June 23, 1874; June 18, 1878; March 3, 1879; August 2, 1882; and August 5, 1886. For further details, see page 1957 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1550 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a new entrance channel 24 feet deep and 350 feet wide from the 24-foot contour in Saginaw Bay to the mouth of Saginaw River, generally along a straight line from Gravelly Point Shoal Light to the river mouth; thence a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide to the Detroit and Mackinac Railway bridge at Bay City; thence 22 feet deep and 200 feet wide to the Sixth Street Bridge in Saginaw, thence 161/2 feet deep to its head, a distance of 29 miles; for 3 turning basins, one 20 feet deep, at Essexville, 11.5 acres in extent, generally semicircular in shape with a radius of 660 feet and maximum length of 1,350 feet; one 20 feet deep, at Carrollton, 4 acres in extent, 900 feet long and 100 to 300 feet wide; and 15 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1389 deep by 360 feet wide, varying from 690 feet to 420 feet in length, adjacent to the east side of the existing channel between the Court Street and Bristol Street Bridges; and for elimination from the authorized project, of the existing entrance channel in Saginaw Bay upon completion of the new entrance channel. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Huron, which is taken at 578.5 feet above mean tide 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. Occa- sionally a considerable change may take place within a few hours, caused by the raising or lowering of Saginaw Bay by violent winds.

CLINTON RIVER, MICH. Location. This river has its source in Oakland County, Mich., flows in an easterly direction, and empties into Anchor Bay in the northwestern part of Lake St. Clair. It is 60 miles long. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 42.) Previous projects. The original improvement was authorized by act of August 30, 1852, and modified by River and Harbor Acts of July 11, 1870, and March 3, 1881. For further details of previous projects see page 1958 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1556 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 60 feet wide at the mouth, decreasing to 50 feet wide in the river from the 8-foot contour in Lake St. Clair to and up the river to Mount Clemens, 42,500 feet; for a pile dike 2,500 feet long to protect the channel in Lake St. Clair; for closing the old channel and making a cutoff at Shoemakers Bend; for closing Catfish Channel; and for the construction of revetments as needed in the river. The length of the section of the river included in the project is 40,000 feet, and in the lake 2,500 feet. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake St. Clair, which is 573.5 feet above mean tide at New York. Each year the level of the river at Mount Clemens rises and falls from 6 to 9 feet, due to spring freshets. From day to day the level changes somewhat, due to winds, such changes occasionally amount to over a foot. The cost of new work to date is $34,564. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $16,388. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 5, 1886 (S.Doc. 199, 46th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1880, p. 2062; and H. Doc. 210, 48th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1885, p. 2190). The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1903, page 1999. Terminal facilities. The river is used exclusively by recreational craft. There are numerous public and private piers and wharves located along the river below the city of Mount Clemens. They are considered adequate for present traffic. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging was performed and resulted in the removal of 8,235 cubic yards of material in various sections of the Clinton River Channel, between Lake St. Clair and Mount Clemens, Mich., at a cost of 1394 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 $10,732. The contract work was completed during August 1959. Cost of supervision and administration of the project were $2. Total costs during the fiscal year for maintenance were $10,734. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1893. Dikes and mattresses have decayed. The controll- ing depths at the end of the fiscal year were 8 feet in the entrance channel and 4.5 feet in the river channel.

ROUGE RIVER, MICH. Location. This river rises in Oakland and Washtenaw Counties, Mich., is 30 miles long, flows southeasterly through Wayne County, and joins the Detroit River at the westerly limit of the city of Detroit. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 415.) Previous projects. Authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 11, 1888 (Annual Report for 1887, pp. 2275-2278) ; joint resolution of April 11, 1898 (H. Doc. 138, 55th Cong., 2d sess., and Annual Report for 1898, p. 2605), and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1907 (H. Doc. 289, 59th Cong., 1st sess.). For further details, see page 1530 of Annual Report for 1932, and page 1558 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for: (a) Main channel-A channel 21 feet deep from that depth in the Detroit River through the short cut canal, 400 feet wide at the entrance, tapering to 200 feet in a 'distance of 2,000 feet, thence 200 feet to 2,300 feet above the Dix Road Bridge, including a turning basin 21 feet deep near the upper end of the project. (b) Old channel-A channel 25 feet deep from that depth in the Detroit River through the mouth of the old channel upstream for a distance of 1,300 feet, with a width of 240 feet at the mouth, tapering to 100 feet at a distance of 800 feet from the mouth, thence 18 feet deep and 100 feet wide for a distance of 1,425 feet, thence 17 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Detroit, Toledo RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1395 & Ironton Railroad bridge, a distance of 1,550 feet, thence 21 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the junction of the old channel with the short cut canal and widened to 150 feet at 2 bends and flared at its junction with the shortcut canal. The distance from the Detroit River to the head of the project, 2,300 feet above the Dix Road Bridge ,is 31/2 miles via the shortcut canal, and about 41/2 miles via the old channel. The project depths are referred to local low-water datum in the Detroit River at the mouth of the Rouge River, which is 572.2 feet above mean tide at New York. The level of this river, except during floods, changes with the level of the Detroit River, which fluctuates about 1.5 feet during the navigation season. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $800,000 (excluding $210,000 to be contributed by local interests) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Except for dredging of the 25-foot channel 1,150 feet upstream from the mouth of the old channel, the work authorized in the act of August 30, 1935, is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of the inactive portion, revised in 1958, was estimated to be $255,000. It has been recommended that the work authorized by the act of July 3, 1958 be placed in the category "Deferred for Restudy". The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $104,300. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 8, 1917 21-foot channel via the short cut canal ............... H.

Including Emergency Relief Administration work authorized May 28, 1935. a Except for dredging of the 25-foot channel to a distance 1,150 feet upstream of the mouth in the old channel, the work authorized in this act is considered to be inactive. Local cooperation. The act approved August 30, 1935, provided that no Federal expenditures should be made on the improvements in the old channel until local interests had provided, without cost to the United States, all necessary rights-of-way and had fur- nished guarantees, satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, protecting the United States against all damages to adjacent lands and property which may result from dredging operations. Except for the guarantees protecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been complied with. The act approved July 3, 1958 is subject to the condition that "local interests agree to (a) furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas 1396 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 necessary for construction of the project and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works; (c) make a cash contribution equal to 50 percent of the first cost of dredging; (d) dredge and maintain the area between the Federal channel and the wharves along the channel to the depth necessary for mooring vessels; and (e) provide and maintain a steel-sheet pile bulkhead to protect facilities of the Allied Chemical & Dye Corporation". Except for the guarantees protecting the United States against damages to adjacent lands and property along the 25-foot channel, this requirement has not been complied with. Terminal facilities. There is an iron-ore dock near the river's mouth equipped with unloading machinery. At the head of the improvement the Ford Motor Co. receives iron ore, coal, lime- stone, and petroleum products and ships pig iron, autos, and coal tar. Between those two terminals there are 23 commercial docks which handle coal, limestone, petroleum products, steel, pulpwood, and general cargo. There are a number of smaller docks for recreational craft. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during the fiscal year. New work: Pre- construction planning for the modification authorized by the act approved July 3, 1958 including field surveys and preparation of a general design memorandum was initiated and the general design memorandum completed. Construction was not initiated due to the lack of receipt of the required local cooperation. The costs for new work were $12,000. Maintenance: Condition surveys were made over the entire project channel during December of 1959, at a cost of $13,045. Revisory survey costs applied to U.S. Lake Survey operations were $1,395. The U.S. hopper dredge Hains performed maintenance dredging over the entire project during October, November, and December 1959, removing 344,823 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoal material at a Federal cost of $105,330. This cost was ex- clusive of the financial participation in the cost of dredging by industries (obtained as a result of studies on illegal deposit of industrial waste), in the following amounts: Ford Motor Co., $8,929; Allied Chemical & Dye Corp., $4,025; Scott Paper Co., $2,416 and Peerless Cement Corp., $3,500. Total financial par- ticipation by industries during the fiscal year was $18,870. The construction of an earth-retention dike, in the lower Detroit River opposite the city of Wyandotte, Mich., commenced during Sep- tember 1959. Costs of $92,634 were incurred during the fiscal year for the work consisting of a perimeter dike and a cross dike filled to an elevation of 8.0 feet above low-water datum. Costs of supervision and administration of the project were $734. All work was done by hired labor and use of Government plant. Total costs for maintenance this fiscal year were $213,138. Condition at end of fiscal year. Main channel. The channel from the Detroit River via the shortcut canal to the turning basin at the upper limit of improvement was completed to the project depths in 1923. Project depth is available along the center half RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1397 of the channel and in the turning basin except along the banks. The head of navigation is determined by a fixed bridge 2,600 feet above the upper limit of improvement. Old channel. The channel at the mouth of the old channel was improved to the project depth of 25 feet for a distance of 1,150 feet upstream from its mouth in 1935. All other work provided for in the acts of 1935 and 1958 relative to the improvement of the old channel is held in abeyance until local interests have com- plied with the terms of local cooperation. The 25-foot project depth section has authorized depth except along the channel banks. The controlling depth of the old channel from its intersection with the shortcut canal to the Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton Railroad Co. bridge is 18 feet, and from that bridge to the 25-foot depth section the controlling depth is 17 feet.

MONROE HARBOR, MICH. Location. This harbor is on the lower reach of the Raisin River, which empties into Lake Erie and is 36 miles south of Detroit, Mich. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 376). Existing project. This provides for a channel 21 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Lake Erie, a distance of 15,800 feet; thence 21 feet deep and 200 feet wide, with necessary additional widths at bends, in the Raisin River, for a distance of 8,200 feet; thence 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the lower wharves at Monroe, a distance of 3,800 feet. The project also provides for riprapping of protecting dikes on each side of the channel extending lakeward for a distance of 1,200 feet; and for a turning basin with an area of 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 1398 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 irregularly from year to year. The greatest annual fluctuation was 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 completed new work is $687,340, excluding $300,000 contributed by local interests. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $206,514 excluding contributions by local interests. The project feature for riprapping the protecting dikes is con- sidered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this feature, revised in 1954, was estimated to be $90,000.

These docks are open to all vessels on equal terms. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Revisory survey costs applied to U.S. Lake Survey operations were $930. Main- tenance dredging was performed under contract. A hydraulic dredge removed 1,670,700 cubic yards, place measure, of shoal material at a cost of $686,673. The contract was completed dur- ing November 1959. A prorated cost of $28,852 was incurred by the U.S. dredge Rock Island for cessation time during the con- tract. Costs incurred in obtaining easements for spoil-disposal areas and other pertinent real estate charges amount to $50. Costs of supervision and administration of. the project were $96. Total costs for maintenance this fiscal year were $716,601. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted 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 effect of severe storms and continued high water, the dikes have largely disappeared. The controlling depth from Lake Erie to the Ford Motor Co. dock is 11.0 feet; thence 12.0 feet to lower end of turning basin; thence 10.0 feet to the upstream limit of the 21.0 foot project.

TOLEDO HARBOR, OHIO Location. This harbor comprises the lower 7 miles of the Maumee River and the channel 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. 374.) 1400 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Previous projects. Authorized 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, a distance of 16.5 miles; a channel in the river 400 feet wide and 25 feet deep from mile 0 (river mouth) to the Fassett Street Bridge (mile 6.3) ; a channel in the river 200 feet wide and 25 feet deep from mile 6.3 to the upper limit of the project, mile 7.0; a turning basin 18 feet deep and 8.25 acres in area just below mile 7.0; enlargement of the authorized widening at the bend opposite the Chesapeake & Ohio and Lakefront termi- nal docks from 16.2 to 22.4 acres in area; a turning basin 20 feet deep and 5 acres in area opposite the American Shipbuilding Co. docks; and for removal (completed Dec. 1957) of the center dike in the Maumee Bay section of the channel. 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. Extreme fluctuations, produced by wind and barometric causes range from 9 feet above to 7.6 feet below that plane.

The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $7,368,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $388,617. Recommended modification of project. On March 26, 1959, the Chief of Engineers recommended modification of the existing project as follows: Deepen the bay channel to 28 feet from that depth in Lake Erie to the mouth of the Maumee River over the present project width of 500 feet; deepen the authorized widening opposite the Chesapeake & Ohio and Lakefront terminal docks to 28 feet; deepen the river channel to 27 feet from mile 0 (river mouth) to mile 3 over the present project width of 400 feet; deepen the river channel from mile 3 to mile 6 (just below the RIVERS AND HARBORS - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1401 New York Central Railroad bridge) to 27 feet over the center 200 feet of the present project width of 400 feet; enlarge the authorized turning basin opposite the American Shipbuilding Co. docks to 800 feet long and 750 feet wide; and construct a turning basin 725 feet wide, 900 feet long, and 27 feet deep just below the Anthony Wayne Bridge (mile 5.5). The total estimated cost to the United States, based on March 1958 price levels, is $14,684,000 with no increase in the annual cost of maintenance. The recommended modification was submitted to Congress on May 18, 1959. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed portions of the project. Terminal facilities. There are 27 active terminals at this harbor. Commodities handled include coal, iron ore, sand and gravel, grain, cement, sugar, petroleum products, and package freight. These installations satisfy current commerce requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: A claim was settled involving the contract for removal of the dike in Maumee Bay in the amount of $67,500. Total costs were $71,660. Maintenance: Condition surveys were made over the Maumee River and Bay Channels during May 1960 at a cost of $14,450. Revisory survey costs applied to U.S. Lake Survey operations were $2,789. The cooperative stream-gaging program and hydro- climatic network studies were accomplished at a cost of $2,154. Costs of miscellaneous inspections and reports, including super- vision and administration of the project and custody of the harbor, were $10,759. The U.S. hopper dredges Hains, Hoffman, Lyman and Markham performed maintenance dredging from July to December 1959 and May to June 1960, removing 1,091,154 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoal material at a cost of $409,641. All work was performed by hired labor and use of Government plant. Total costs during the fiscal year for maintenance were $439,793. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project, exclusive of widening the channel opposite the Chesapeake & Ohio and Lakefront terminal docks and constructing the turning basin opposite the American Shipbuilding Co. was completed in 1957. Maintenance dredging normally performed during the late sum- mer and fall months usually restores project depths over a center width of 300 feet in the lake section and over about 80 percent of the river channel. Continuous and heavy shoaling usually re- sults in a controlling depth of about 23 feet in the bay channel by the end of the fiscal year. The controlling depth at low-water datum at the close of the fiscal year was 16.5 feet in the turning basin. The costs for the existing project have been as follows: Regular funds: New work and maintenance prior to 1903 (not separable).. $1,974,127 Maintenance since 1903 ................................ 7,680,568 Total ............................................... 9,654,695 Public works funds, new work ............................. 3,690,000 Total, all funds ................................... 13,344,695 1402 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

This river rises in south-central Michigan and flows northerly to Lansing, thence northwesterly and westerly to Lake Michigan. Grand Haven, a federally improved deep-draft harbor is located at the mouth of the Grand River. The river drains an area of 5,572 square miles. Lansing, the State capitol, lies about 150 miles upstream from the river mouth and at the junction of the Grand and Red Cedar Rivers. (See U.S. Geological Survey Lansing quadrangle). Existing project. This provides for flood protection at and in the vicinity of Lansing to consist generally of: Enlarging the channel of Red Cedar River from Upper College Dam in East Lansing to its mouth, a distance of about 5 miles; cleaning and straightening Sycamore Creek, a tributary of the Red Cedar River, within the city limits; constructing a 6-mile cutoff channel for the Grand River between Millett and Delta Mills, with appurtenant diversion dam and two drop structures; enlarging the channel of Grand River from the mouth of the Red Cedar River downstream about 6 miles; making necessary changes in railroad crossings and alterations to substructures of highway bridges; and con- structing necessary channel protection works. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $12,100,000 excluding $360,000 to be contributed by local interests. The esti- mated cost to local interests, revised in 1960, is $3,780,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 3, 1958 (S. Doc. 132, 84th Cong., 2d sess.). That document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation. The act of July 3, 1958, provides that no money shall be expended by the United States until responsible local interests have given 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) maintain and operate all the works after completion, including the maintenance and operation of the Moores Park and North Lansing Dams on Grand River at Lansing, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (d) pre- scribe and enforce regulations, satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, designed to prevent encroachment on the rights-of-way and improved channels; (e) construct new highway bridges and highway grade channel crossings; and (f) make all necessary changes and additions to streets, highway bridges and approaches, storm and sanitary sewers, waterlines, electric powerlines, and other miscellaneous utilities; and contribute in cash 2.9 percent of the estimated first cost of work for which the United States 1410 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

BATTLE CREEK, KALAMAZOO RIVER, MICH. Location. This river drains an area of 1,980 square miles in Hillsdale, Jackson, Calhoun, Eaton, Barry, Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Allegan, Kent, and Ottawa Counties in southwestern Michigan, and discharges into Lake Michigan 2 miles downstream from the village of Saugatuck. The city of Battle Creek is 108 miles upstream from the mouth of the Kalamazoo River. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Existing project. This provides for flood protection along the Kalamazoo River at, and in the vicinity of, Battle Creek, Mich., to consist generally of excavation and clearing of the Battle Creek Channel to provide for an enlarged channel within the city of Battle Creek extending from above the Union Street Bridge downstream to its junction with the Kalamazoo River; rerouting the Kalamazoo River Channel in the vicinity of Liberty Street and Washington Avenue to bypass the constricted existing chan- nel through the heart of the city; excavation and straightening the Kalamazoo River Channel downstream from the confluence of Battle Creek and the new rerouted Kalamazoo River Channel to below the Fort Custer Waterworks Bridge; riprapping or paving channels at critical locations in the new enlarged channels where the velocity of floodflows might be high enough to cause damage; constructing new and reinforcing existing highway and railroad bridges as required, and constructing a submerged weir and levees. The project is designed to provide protection for the city of Battle Creek from such peak-flood discharges in the channels which would produce, when combined, a discharge of approxi- mately 11,000 cubic feet per second below the confluence of Battle Creek and the Kalamazoo River. The estimated cost for new work, revised in 1960, is $6,400,000, excluding $159,000 to be contributed by local interests. The estimated cost to local interests, revised in 1960, is $3,106,000. FLOOD CONTROL - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1411 The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved September 3, 1954 (S. Doc. 98, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). This document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation. The Act of September 3, 1954, provides that no money shall be expended on the construction by the United States until responsible local interests have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) pro- vide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the project; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (c) maintain and operate all the works after completion, including supervision of maintenance and operation of the existing Monroe Street Dam and headrace on the Kalama- zoo River, in accordance with regulation prescribed by the Secre- tary of the Army; (d) prescribe and enforce regulations designed to prevent encroachments on the rights-of-way and improved channels; (e) construct new highway bridges across the new Kalamazoo River cutoff; (f) make all changes and additions to streets, water mains, electric powerlines, sewers, and other utili- ties necessitated by the improvements; and (g) contribute toward the project in accordance with the recommendation of the Secre- tary of the Army; and provided further that construction of the initial stage of the project as defined in the District Engineer's report may be undertaken whenever funds are available and the prescribed local cooperation has been provided and whenever, in addition, local interests have agreed to remove, at their own ex- pense concurrently with construction of the firststage improve- ment, such buildings from the Battle Creek Channel as in the opinion of the district engineer may jeopardize the effectiveness of that improvement. At the time of authorization of the improve- ment the Secretary of the Army recommended in the project docu- ment that a cash contribution of $93,000, at report price levels, should be made by non-Federal interests. Assurances of local cooperation were furnished by the city of Battle Creek and were formally accepted by the United States December 10, 1956. Local interests have made a cash contribution of $125,000 and they have been allowed credit for channel con- struction and bridge removal work accomplished by them at the existing confluence of Kalamazoo River and Battle Creek chan- nels. The cash contribution received, credits allowed for the work accomplished by local interests and anticipated savings in Federal construction costs due to the reduced capacity of a portion of Battle Creek Channel from abandonment of the headrace, par- tially offset by the increased cost of the cutoff channel due to increased capacity are collectively considered sufficient for ex- penditure of funds for completion of the first stage of the project. Adjustment of the cash contributions required from local interests will be computed after contracting for the remainder of the first stage of the project. An additional cash contribution will be re- quired prior to initiating the final stage of the project. Rights-of-way with necessary disposal easements have been acquired for the Kalamazoo River Channel in the area from the 1412 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 downstream end of the project to the new confluence of the Kala- mazoo River Cutoff channel and Battle Creek for the cutoff chan- nel, and for the Washington Avenue Bridge substructure protec- tion work on the Battle Creek portion of the project. Acquisition of necessary rights-of-way and easements for a portion of the final stage of the project (Battle Creek Channel), up to the ex- isting confluence of the Kalamazoo River and Battle Creek River is approximately 90 percent complete. Local interests have completed the required four new highway bridges Washington-Ravine Street, Hamblin Avenue, Capitol Avenue, and South McCamly Street over the cutoff channel. Local interests have also completed all utility alterations necessary for construction of the flood-control channel in the Kalamazoo River downstream from the cutoff channel and for the cutoff channel. All building removal necessary during the first stage of the project has been accomplished. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: During the fiscal year an emergency contract for pier protection of the Washington Avenue Bridge was completed at a contract cost of $6,641. In addition, work was initiated by the New York Central System and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Co. under cost reimbursable contracts for relocation of their facilities and con- struction of bridges over the proposed cutoff channel. The fiscal year costs for this contract work was $155,706. A U.S. Geological Survey gaging station was constructed at a cost of $4,100. Final payment in the amount of $5,348 was made under the Government cost participation contract with the city of Battle Creek for re- placement of the Angell and Kendall Street Highway Bridges over the Kalamazoo River. Final payments on the contract for con- struction of section A of the project (downstream project limit to confluence of the cutoff channel) were made in the amount of $10,215. Contracts were awarded for sections A and C of the cutoff channel in the amount of $372,662 and for channel paving under the Washington Avenue Bridge in the amount of $44,685. No work, however, was initiated on these contracts during the fiscal year. Expenditures for the fiscal year for supervision and administration were $10,859. Costs involved in real estate studies were $606. Preconstruction planning, including preparation of plans and specifications for the Kalamazoo River cutoff channel and a section of the Battle Creek Channel was continued at a cost of $49,603. Total cost during the fiscal year was $243,078. Condition at end of fiscal year. The Kalamazoo River Channel downstream from the cutoff channel has been completed and has been turned over to local interests for operation and maintenance except for replacement of bridges at 20th Street and Stringham Road. Local interests have constructed four new highway bridges over the cutoff channel and have made the utility relocations necessary for the cutoff channel construction. Local interests have also cleared the cutoff channel right-of-way. Work under the con- tracts for relocation of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad Co. and the New York Central System facilities over the cutoff channel are about 14 percent complete. Work under the initial cut- FLOOD CONTROL - DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1413 off channel contract has not been started. The work under the contract for paving protection under the Washington Avenue Bridge over the Battle Creek Channel has not yet been started. No other work has been done on the Battle Creek portion of the project other than the bridge removal and channel work ac- complished by local interests at the site of the existing confluence of the Kalamazoo River and Battle Creek. The entire project is about 36 percent complete.

JOSEPH SHORE, BERRIEN COUNTY, MICH. Location. Berrien County, Mich., is located on the east shore of Lake Michigan in the extreme southwestern portion of the 1416 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 State. The section of shoreline authorized for improvement is located at St. Joseph, 30 miles north of the Michigan-Indiana State line. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart Nos. 75 and 758.) Existing project. This provides for, subject to certain condi- tions in the first and periodic nourishment costs of a plan for protection of the shore of the city of St. Joseph, Mich., from Elm Street to the southern extremity of the State protective works, comprising direct placement of suitable sand to form a protective beach with berm elevation 10 feet above low-water datum at the base of bluffs and 50 feet in width at elevation 8 feet. The plan contemplates initiation of periodic nourishment at the earliest practicable date to prevent material reduction of width of the protective beach. Federal assistance would entail contribution of funds in amount of 22.6 percent of the initial construction costs of the protective beach and of the costs of periodic nourishment for a period of 10 years after the year of completion of the initial construction. The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1960 is $375,000. The estimate of cost to local interests, revised in 1960, is $1,260,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 3, 1958, (H. Doc. 336, 85th Cong., 2d sess.). That document contains the latest published maps. Local cooperation. The act of July 3, 1958, provides that no money shall be expended by the United States until responsible local interests have given assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will: (a) Obtain approval by the Chief of Engineers, prior to com- mencement of work, of detailed plans and specifications for the project and also of the arrangements for prosecuting the work. (b) Provide at their own expense all necessary lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way.

For further details, see page 1960 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1574 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for the following: a. An outer channel 400 feet wide and 21 feet deep from deep water in Lake Erie through Sandusky Bay, a distance of about 31/2 miles, to the city waterfront docks. 1419 1420 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 b. A channel along the waterfront about 7,800 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 22 feet deep, ending in a turning basin generally 800 feet wide and 22 feet deep, and a dike constructed with the excavated rock on the north side of the channel and basin. c. Maintaining a channel to a depth of 22 feet, from the turning basin northward about 3,540 feet, that portion opposite the Pennsylvania Railroad coal wharf to a width of 350 feet, and north thereof to a width of 400 feet; thence 300 feet wide north- eastward through Sandusky Bay about 7,700 feet, to a junction with the straight channel; no dredging to be done within 50 feet of the face of the wharf. d. Protection works consisting of a stone jetty on the easterly side of the channel, extending northeasterly from Cedar Point, a distance of 6,000 feet, with suitable pierhead; a short stone spur at Cedar Point; and revetment of the slope adjacent to the chan- nel in the vicinity of the inner front light, with a brush-and-stone mattress. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York City. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, pro- duced by wind and other causes, are from 6 feet above to 2.5 feet below that plane. The actual cost of new work was $2,597,258 (excluding $325,000 contributed by local interests), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects.

Y., DISTRICT 1421 bar and straight channels and deepening to 26 feet; deepening the straight channel to 25 feet from vicinity of Cedar Point dock to junction with bay channel; deepening the bay channel from junction with the straight channel to the outer end of the Penn- sylvania coal dock No. 3 to 25 feet, thence from outer end of the coal dock to the turning basin to 24 feet in soft material and 25 feet in hard, with no Federal dredging within 50 feet of the dock; and enlarging the turning basin, including removal of ap- proximately 300 feet of the rock dike, with depths of 24 feet in soft material and 25 feet in hard; at an estimated cost to the United States of $5,817,000 and $30,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required. All estimated costs are on July 1958 price levels. The recommended modification is con- tained in House Document 144, 86th Congress. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total actual costs for all requirements for local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $325,000. Terminal facilities. There is an extensive coal terminal, con- sisting of three docks, adjacent to the turning basin at the westerly end of the dock channel open to shippers of coal. Located on the dock channel are 10 private terminals for the handling of sand and gravel, fish, miscellaneous freight, and passengers. The city of Sandusky owns a pier and two small boat basins. A yacht club dock and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. Two docks for passenger boats are located at Cedar Point. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 4, revised 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $13,471. The U.S. hopper dredge Hoffman (H.L.) removed 285,831 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over a length of 1.5 miles of the bay channel and approximately 80,000 square yards of the turning basin and dock channel and 30,000 square yards of the outer bar channel for restoration of project depths of 21 and 22 feet, at a cost of $98,454. Snagging and clearing in project channels was accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $12,134. The total cost for maintenance was $124,059. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1935 at a cost of $2,597,258 (excluding $325,000 contributed by local interests). The harbor structures are gener- ally in poor condition. The entire length of the 6,000 feet long east jetty protection works, completed in 1922, parelleling the outer harbor entrance channel has settled from its original elevation of 4.3 feet above to 1 or 2 feet above low-water datum and in many places has settled below low-water datum. Approxi- mately 1,400 linear feet of the rock dike paralleling the dock channel was rebuilt in 1956. Approximately 500 linear feet of remaining 2,500 linear feet of the dike has settled and disinte- grated in many places. The controlling depth in the straight, outer 1422 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 bar, and bay channels is 21 feet and in the dock channel 18 feet and the turning basin 20 feet at low-water datum as of June 1960. The total costs of the existing project were $4,679,963, of which $2,597,258, including $599,500 public works funds, were for new work and $2,082,705 for maintenance. In addition, $325,000 were expended from contributed funds for new work.

All estimated costs are on July 1958 price levels. The recommended modification is contained in House Document 166, 86th Congress. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. One iron ore terminal and 1 coal dock are open to the public. Extensive docks of the U.S. Steel Corp. (National Tube Div.) handle iron ore, limestone, iron and steel, fuel oil, and sand, and are not open to the public. Three sand, one slag, one gypsum, and four fish docks are privately owned. The American Shipbuilding Co. has drydocks and facilities for building and repairing the largest lake vessels. A yacht club dock and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. The city of Lorain owns two docks without rail connections which are open to the public. The facilities are regarded as adequate for exist- ing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 4, revised 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $7,948. The U.S. hopper dredge Hoffman (H.L.) removed 234,458 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over approximately .5 mile of the Black River Channel 10,000 square yards of the turning basin and 20,000 square yards of the outer harbor, for restoration of project depths of 24 and 25 feet, at a cost of $81,291. Snagging and clearing in project channels was accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $1,119. The total cost for maintenance was $90,358. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed in 1951 at a cost of $2,748,513 (including $3,000 con- tributed by local interests). An outer harbor has been provided by constructing breakwaters and pierheads completed in 1915, except the extension of the west breakwater to shore, which was completed in 1921. A channel through the outer harbor to the entrance to Black River was deepened to 25 feet in 1937, also a channel 16 feet deep to the municipal pier was provided in 1936. Deepening the outer harbor was completed in 1946. The RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1427 entrance to the river has been improved by the construction of parallel piers completed in 1909. Widening of two bends in the river was completed in 1934. The river channel and up- stream turning basin opposite the National Tube Co. dock were deepened to project depth in 1937 and 1938 and the turning basin widened in 1944. Deepening of the downstream turning basin in the bend of Black River immediately upstream of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock to project depth of 20 feet was completed in 1951. The protection works are generally in poor condition. The shoreward section of the west breakwater, completed in 1921 has disintegrated and settled and in places is below low-water datum. At various locations on the lake face of the lakeward section of the west breakwater stones have shifted leaving holes in the wall, and in many sections of the east breakwater the stones above water have deteriorated and shifted. Severe cracks and shifting have developed in the superstructure of both the east and west breakwater pierhead. The east pier, completed in 1905, is in various stages of disrepair. The concrete super- structure supported by timber cribs has cracked and settled throughout a length of 1,700 feet. The controlling depth is 25 feet in the channel through the outer harbor, 24 feet in the river channel to the upper end of the National Tube Co. dock, 16 feet in the outer harbor channel to the municipal pier, 17 feet in the upstream turning basin oppo- site the National Tube Co. dock, and 20 feet in the downstream turning basin upstream of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad coal dock, all at low-water datum as of June 1960. The total costs of the existing project were $5,419,326, of which $2,745,513, including $165,000 public works funds, was for new work and $2,673,813, including $76,300 public works funds, was for maintenance. In addition, $3,000 was ex- pended from contributed funds for new work.

SAuthorized by the Defense Plant Corporation, May 19, 1942. Recommended modification of project. The Great Lakes Har- bors Study, Interim Report on Cleveland Harbor, Ohio, as sub- mitted to Congress on May 18, 1959, recommends modification of the existing project to provide for a depth of 29 feet in the lake approach to the main entrance; 28 feet in the entrance channel to the lakeward ends of the piers at the mouth of Cuyahoga River; 27 feet in the river to a point just above its junction with Old River, and in Old River to the upstream limit of the present 23-foot project; 28 feet in the west basin within the existing proj- ect limits as modified to eliminate a triangular area at the west end and to extend the limits to a line parallel to and 75 feet from the harborline; and 28 feet in the westerly 800 feet of the 1430 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 east basin; at an estimated cost to the United States of $2,501,200 and $40,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required. All estimated costs are on October 1957 price levels. The recommended modification is contained in House Document 152, 86th Congress. Local cooperation. Assurances required for the improvements authorized by the July 24, 1946, act were received and approved on May 3, 1949, by the Assistant Secretary of the Army. Por- tions of the required lands, easements, and rights-of-way have been furnished and negotiations are underway by the city of Cleveland to secure the remainder. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 requires local inter- ests to: (a) Furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for accomplish- ment of channel widening and for subsequent maintenance of the increased width of channel, when and as required; (b) dredge the areas between the new channel limits and terminal facili- ties to adequate depths; (c) construct all necessary bulkheads, except on property at the sites of the existing bridges; (d) ac- complish alterations as required by the channel improvements in sewer, water-supply, power and telephone lines, access roads and other utilities, as well as their maintenance; and (e) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construc- tion and maintenance of the improvements; and provided further that improvement of any of the localities mentioned above may be undertaken independently of the others whenever funds for that purpose are available and the prescribed local cooperation has been provided. Council of the city of Cleveland by ordinance dated December 8, 1958 authorized and directed the mayor to execute the agreement of assurances. The assurances were exe- cuted by the mayor of the city of Cleveland on December 10, 1958 and accepted by the district engineer on August 28, 1959. All other conditions are fully complied with. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $14,566,000 (July 1960). Terminal facilities. There are approximately 48 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, sulfur, coke, coal tar, and fish. 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 commod- ities handled. The city of Cleveland owns five terminals, one of which is leased for a miscellaneous freight and automobile term- inal, one leased for a miscellaneous freight and passenger terminal, one leased for a miscellaneous freight terminal, one leased for passengers only, and one used for unloading salt. 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1431 for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 3, revised 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Replace- ment of bridges Nos. 15 and 2 by separate continuing contracts, were physically completed during the year except for signal work at bridge No. 1 which is to be accomplished by the bridge owner. The fiscal year expenditures for these two structures were $43,520. Final cost apportionments between the Federal Government and the owners of bridges Nos. 1 and 15 are outstanding. Contract operations for widening and deepening the upstream section of cut No. 4 on the Cuyahoga River, were completed on 27 October 1959 and about 156,500 cubic yards of material were removed at a fiscal year cost of $410,928. Finalization of the apportionment of costs for the previously completed replacement of bridges Nos. 9 and 3 were made resulting in a fiscal year cost of $19,917. Total cost of new work was $474,365. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $12,925. The U.S. hopper dredges Lyman, Hoffman and Markham (H.L.) removed 479,394 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 300,000 square yards of the outer harbor and entrance channel for restoration of project depths of 23 and 25 feet at a cost of $96,529. Snagging and clearing, in project channels, were accomplished by Govern- ment plant and hired labor, at a cost of $14,690. Maintenance of the Cuyahoga and Old Rivers to 23-foot project depth by con- tinuing contract, employing clamshell bucket dredge, was con- tinued and approximately 734,000 cubic yards, scow measure, of shoaled material were removed at a cost of $765,212. Advance dredging in the upper Cuyahoga River channel by continuing contract employing clamshell bucket dredge, was accomplished and approximately 153,500 cubic yards, scow measure, of shoaled material were removed to approximately 26 feet below low-water datum at a cost of $187,900. The U.S. derrickboats Tonawanda and McCauley repaired a total of 350 linear feet of the east breakwater at a cost of $79,705. The total cost was $1,631,326, of which $474,365 was for new work and $1,156,961 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 58 percent complete. The river entrance channel has been im- proved 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; 1432 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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 and in 1958. 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 the east end of east breakwater in 1917 in lieu of the east-end pier- head. 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. Old River to the Sand Products Corp. dock was deepened to 23 feet in 1952. Replacement of New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad bridge No. 25 was completed during April 1953. Replacement of the New York Central Railroad bridge No. 8 was completed during December 1953. Replacement of New York Central Railroad bridge No. 9 was completed during June 1956 and the channel in the vicinity of the structure widened during 1957. Replacement of the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad bridge No. 1 was completed in January 1957. Replacement of the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad bridge No. 15 was completed in March 1959. Replacement of Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge No. 3 was completed in October 1957. Widening in the vicinity of New York Central Railroad bridge No. 1 was completed in September 1957. Widening in the vicinity of Baltimore & Ohio Railroad bridge No. 3; and in the vicinity of New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad bridge No. 15 and deepening Cuyahoga River were completed in July 1958. Widening Cuyahoga River at the upstream portion of cut No. 4 was completed in October 1959. Completing the remainder of the channel extension, widening portions of the Cuyahoga River, replacement of one railroad bridge over the Cuyahoga River, replacement of one railroad bridge and one highway bridge over Old River, widening portions of Old River, deepening east and west basin of outer harbor, deepening the approach and entrance channels and deepening the lower portion of Cuyahoga River, all remain to be done to complete the project. The harbor structures require extensive repairs. 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 28 feet. The controlling depth in the Cuyahoga River was 23 feet; in Old River to Sand Products Corp. dock 23 feet; in remainder of Old River, 21 feet; and in the turning basin, 18 feet. The total costs of the existing project were $40,774,900, of which $24,555,303, including $616,767 public works funds, was for new work and $16,219,597 including $125,000 public works funds, for maintenance. In addition $50,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance. RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N.

The Great Lakes Harbors Study, Interim Report on Fairport Harbor, Ohio, as submitted to Congress on February 15, 1960, recommends modification of the existing project to provide for a depth of 29 feet in the approach channel from the lake; depth of 28 feet over a width of 800 feet in the outer harbor; depth of 27 feet in soft and 28 feet in hard material in Grand River, over a width of 200 feet to the upstream limit of the turning basin, with suitable widening at the bends; thence over widths reducing from 200 to 100 feet to the upstream limit of the existing Federal project, except in the 8-foot channel; enlargement of the turning basin, including deepening of the entire basin to 21 feet; and minor modification of the existing project limits in the outer harbor; at an estimated cost to the United States of $2,791,000 and $35,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required. All estimated costs are on March 1959 price levels. The recommended modification is contained in House Document 347, 86th Congress. RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1435 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 break- water extension. The condition requiring dredging has not been complied with. All other conditions have been complied with at a total cost of $101,000. Terminal facilities. One coal dock does a general public busi- ness. Three limestone docks, three limestone and sand and gravel docks, one vegetable oil dock, one salt dock, four 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. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $5,868. The U.S. hopper dredges Lyman and Hoffman (H.L.) removed a total of 440,112 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of 115,000 square yards of the outer harbor and approxi- mately 1.2 miles of the Grand River channel for restoration of project depths of 21, 24 and 25 feet at a cost of $111,505. Snag- ging and clearing in project channels were accomplished by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor at a cost of $10,887. The total cost for maintenance was $128,260. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1956 at a cost of $2,525,000. Lengths of 400 and 275 linear feet of the east pier were repaired with steel-sheet piling and sand filled, in 1949 and 1958, respectively. The outer end of the structure requires extensive repairs. 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. Deepening the 8-foot depth channel in Grand River at the upper end of and adjacent to the west side of the 21-foot project channel, was completed in 1956. The harbor structures require repairs. The concrete cap of several cells of the cellular section of the west breakwater re- quires replacement. At several places along the remainder of the west breakwater, the slope stone has disintegrated and settled. The 6,700-foot long, rubblemound east breakwater, built in 1932, is in various stages of disrepair throughout its entire length. At several locations of the structure, totalling approximately 1,500 linear feet, the slope stone has disintegrated and settled 1436 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and the core stone washed out, leaving large areas of the struc- ture only slightly above low-water datum. 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, 18 feet in the turning basin, and 8 feet in project area at upper end of Grand River. All depths are referred to low-water datum. The total costs of the existing project were $5,221,485, of which $2,525,000, including $187,772 public works funds, was for new work and $2,696,485 for maintenance.

A 700-foot wide access channel leading southeastward from the present entrance channel and terminating in a basin having a width of 1,200 feet and a length of 1,500 feet, all dredged to a depth of 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock. g. Maintenance to 21-foot depth of that portion of the outer harbor between the deepened channel and a meridian line through the westerly angle of the east breakwater. The project dept is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, which is 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York City. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, pro- duced by the winds or other causes, are from 4 feet above to 1 foot below low-water datum. The estimated cost of new work is $7,252,000 (1960), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Portion of the project consisting of the removal of 250 feet of the east inner break- water at an estimated cost of $128,000 (1954) is excluded from the foregoing estimate.

There are three iron ore and two coal terminals with an aggregate developed dock frontage of 18,500 feet, all open to the public. There are three privately owned fish docks, one privately owned limestone dock, one limestone and sand and gravel dock, one dock for sand, gravel, salt and silicon ore, a large shipyard and drydock, and an inactive car-ferry terminal. A yacht club dock and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks are for recreational and other small craft. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 2, 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Deepen- ing the approach channel and turning basin in the east outer har- bor to 25-foot project depth was scheduled for accomplishment in two stages. Stage I, which provides a minimum 150-foot wide channel through the east outer harbor was completed in 1956. Contract operations for Stage II, which provides for deepening the remainder of the project area in the east outer harbor, com- menced in 1956 and was completed in April 1960. The con- tractor's dipper dredge removed approximately 297,700 cubic yards of unclassified material and 528,850 cubic yards of ledge rock, place measure, at a cost of $1,268,455. Deepening the Ashtabula River upstream from the turning basin to 16-foot project depth was commenced in April 1960 and a total of 37,236 cubic yards, place measure, was removed by contractor utilizing a hydraulic pipeline dredge and derrickboat clamshell dredge. The cost for the year was $125,440. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $11,864. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) re- moved 150,873 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 30,000 square yards of the outer harbor RIVERS AND HARBORS -BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1439 and over the entire length of the Ashtabula River channel for restoration of 18-, 24- and 25-foot project depths at a cost of $55,407. The U.S. derrickboat McCauley repaired 121 linear feet of the west rubblemound breakwater at a cost of $29,880. Snag- ging and clearing in project channels were accomplished by Gov- ernment plant and hired labor at a cost of $39,046. The total cost was $1,530,092, of which $1,393,895 was for new work and $136,197 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 99 percent complete. The west breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of the inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of the outer end which was completed in 1935. The east breakwater was completed in 1915; 800 feet of the westerly end was removed and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. The old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was completed in 1909, and the westerly 600 feet was re- moved 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 150-foot wide approach channel through the east outer harbor to the new dock was completed in 1956 and deepen- ing of the remainder of the east outer harbor and turning basin was completed in 1960. Deepening the upper 1,550 feet of the river channel commenced in March 1960 and was about 74 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. 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 east breakwater light foundation has become tilted, due to displacement of rubble- mound protection, and needs repairs. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of completion of deepening of the upper 1,550 feet of the river channel and the restudy of the conditional removal of the east inner breakwater. The portion of the outer harbor adjacent to the approach channel, 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 east outer harbor and the channel through the outer harbor lakeward of the inner break- water, 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. Controlling depth in the east outer harbor is 25 feet. The total costs of the existing project were $9,216,918 of which $7,210,123, including $536,648 public works funds, was for new work, and $2,006,795 for maintenance. 1440 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Local interests maintain the river chan- nel to provide access to terminals in the river comprising one coal terminal which is open to shippers of coal, one iron ore, one stone, and one steel-products terminal, which are private. The city of Conneaut owns a terminal and a small-boat lagoon on the outer harbor which are open to the public. The facilities are consid- ered adequate for the existing commerce. (See Lake Series No. 2, 1950, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $4,825. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) removed 59,005 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 50,000 square yards of the outer harbor for restoration of project depth of 25 feet at a cost of $18,961. The U.S. derrick- boat Tonawanda repaired 300 linear feet of the west rubblemound breakwater at a cost of $135,500. The total cost for maintenance was $159,286. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 58 percent complete. Under the 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; 1442 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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 were completed in 1934. The east pier is now 1,008 feet long. A channel through the outer harbor was deepened to 25 and 26 feet in 1938. The inner 1,200 feet of the west breakwater was rebuilt to its original elevation during 1941 to 1952 and is in fair condition. 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 as of June 1960. 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 costs of the existing project were $5,407,974, of which $3,276,447, including $1,010,500 public works funds, was for new work and $2,131,527 for maintenance.

For further details see page 1965 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1600 of Annual Report for 1938. RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1443 Existing project. This provides for the following: a. An entrance channel, 25 feet deep in soft material and 26 feet deep in hard material, 500 feet wide lakeward of the en- trance piers, and 300 feet wide between the piers and into the harbor. b. A channel of the same depths and 600 feet wide from the en- trance channel to a line 50 feet outside of the pierhead line at the ore terminal, suitably widened at the junction with the entrance channel. c. A harbor area 21 feet deep, approximately 117 acres, ex- tending westerly from the 600-foot channel for a distance of about 2,100 feet to a line perpendicular to the harbor line 200 feet west of the city dock, with the southerly side 50 feet from the harbor line. d. An approach channel, 23 feet deep and 300 feet wide, from the 25-foot channel to and including a turning basin of the same depth 1,200 feet long by 1,000 feet wide at the westerly docks. e. An additional harbor area 18 feet deep, of about 35 acres, extending westerly from the 21-foot area and northerly from the harbor line off the public dock, to natural deep water in the bay. f. For harbor entrance piers 360 to 450 feet apart of the timber-crib type with concrete superstructure, extending to the 14-foot contour in the lake, the north pier to have a length of about 3,248 feet and the south pier to have a length of about 2,215 feet, further extension lakeward of the north pier to be made when required to meet advance of said contour. g. A timber-crib breakwater 1,200 feet long (original length, 2,530 feet) with stone superstructure, extending from the inner end of the south pier toward the mainland, to maintain a closure at the eastern end of the harbor and for plant growth and emergency protection work on the peninsula. h. An anchorage area to be accomplished by widening to 25 feet the approach channel described in paragraph b above, from 600 feet to 1,200 feet with the western boundary of the area 1,500 feet long and the eastern boundary about 1,900 feet long. The project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York City. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum, and extreme fluctuations, pro- duced by wind and other causes, are from 5.9 feet above to 2.7 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work is $2.829,000 (1960), ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous prcjects. The extension of the north pier portion of the project is to be restudied and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1955, and was estimated to be $1,071,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $73,200. 1444 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The Great Lakes Har- bors Study, Interim Report on Erie Harbor, Pa., as submitted to Congress on July 2, 1959, recommends modification of the exist- ing project to provide for a depth of 29 feet in the entrance channel to a point opposite the inner end of the north pier; thence 28 feet in soft and 29 feet in hard material in the remainder of the entrance channel, within the general limits of the 25-foot basin and inner channel opposite the ore dock except as modified to eliminate from the project a triangular area along the easterly side; and a depth of 28 feet over a 300-foot westward extension of the 25-foot basin; at an estimated cost to the United States of $1,742,000, and $25,000 annually for maintenance in addition to that now required. All estimated costs are on July 1958 price levels. The recommended modification is contained in House Document 199, 86th Congress. Local cooperation. Providing an approach channel 23 feet deep, including a turning basin, to the westerly docks, is subject to the condition that local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will: Provide and main- tain a coal dumper and slip so that full utilization can be made of the improvement; lower the waterworks intake line where nec- essary; and hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages incidental to the work or maintenance thereof. These conditions have not been complied with. Prior conditions have been fully complied with. Total esti- mated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $1,101,000 (July 1960). Terminal facilities. The developed waterfront has a length of about 2 miles. Two groups of terminals have been established along this harbor frontage. The westerly group consists of three piers, one of which is used for sand and stone, one for petroleum products, and one for sand and petroleum products. RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1445 The easterly group consists of one terminal for iron ore, lime- stone, and coal; one for petroleum; one for coal; one for sand, stone, and petroleum; one grain elevator; and one municipal pier used as a passenger terminal. The Erie Port Commission owns and operates a miscellaneous freight terminal and warehouse. 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. (See Lake Series No. 1,1951, Corps of Engineers). Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $12,177. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) removed 117,831 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over approximately 0.8 mile of the entrance channel and an area of 90,000 square yards of the approach channel and turning basin for restoration of project depths of 25 and 23 feet, at a cost of $41,347. Snagging and clearing in project channels were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $3,205. The total cost for main- tenance was $56,729. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 34 percent complete. The breakwater and piers were completed in 1915. A 3,050-foot section of rubblemound protection work on the peninsula was completed in 1921, 5,281 feet of steel-sheet piling protection work with stone facing were completed in 1930, and two experimental 300-foot stone groins and about 1,385 feet of stone-protection work at beach 2 were completed in 1943. The construction of 2,750 feet of stone-protection work, just north of the Kelso groin, was completed in 1944. The 18-foot harbor basin was deepened in 1900. Widening and straightening of the entrance channel was completed in 1936. The deepening of the entrance channel and 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. Widening of the approach channel to the easterly ore dock was completed in August 1958. The concrete superstructure of the north and south piers completed in 1909, has disintegrated, broken, and dropped in various sections, due to timber crib failure at these sections. 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 and 1,141 linear feet of the north pier has been reinforced and repaired with steel- sheet piling and concrete. 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, in which the stone facing has settled has been completely covered with sandfill as provided in the shore protection project author- ized for Presque Isle Peninsula. The work remaining to be done to complete the projects consists of dredging an approach channel and turning basin to the west- 1446 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 erly docks, completion of deepening remaining triangular area in the approach channel to the easterly docks, and the conditional extension of the north pier. There is a controlling depth of 25 feet at low-water datum in the entrance channel and in the approach channel to the docks at the easterly end of the harbor, 15 feet to docks at the westerly end, and 21 feet to the public docks, foot of State Street, as of June 1960. The total costs of the existing project were $4,880,518, of which $948,130 was for new work and $3,932,388 for maintenance. In addition, there was a cost and expenditure of $154,500 from contributed funds for maintenance.

This harbor is located on the south shore of Lake Erie about 17 miles southwesterly of Dunkirk, N.Y., and 29 miles northeasterly of Erie, Pa. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 32.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 4, 1836. Only information available is in the index to the report of the Chief of Engineers under the project title "Portland Harbor, N.Y." Existing project. This provides for a harbor formed by: An east breakwater 693 feet long and a west breakwater 790 feet long with a shore arm 175 feet long, both breakwaters are cellular steel-sheet pile, stone filled and concrete capped; an opening 200 feet wide at the outer (lakeward) end between the breakwaters; an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 10 feet deep, extending from deep water in the lake to a point 200 feet from the outer end of the east breakwater; and a harbor basin 8 feet deep, 800 feet long, varying from 125 to 350 feet in width; with such modifica- tions as in the discretion of the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Engineers may be desirable. The project depth is referred to low-water datum for Lake Erie, elevation 570.5 feet above mean tide at New York City. Ordinary fluctuations of water level are from 3.5 feet above to 0.5 foot below low-water datum and extreme fluctuations, pro- RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1447 duced by wind and other causes, are from 5.9 feet above to 2.7 feet below that plane. The estimate of cost for new work is $1,137,000 (1960), ex- cluding $7,500 contributed by local interests, and exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 446, 78th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, amount to $60,000 (July 1960). Terminal facilities. There is a privately owned commercial fishing dock and a small-boat livery. A public dock, adjacent to the project, for recreational and other small craft is owned by the town of Westfield. The facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of the existing project was virtually completed by continuing contract during June 1960. The east breakwater was completed and con- crete caps on both the east and west breakwaters were placed. The entrance channel and harbor basin were excavated, in the dry, to project depths of 10 and 8 feet, respectively and the construction dikes were removed and the area flooded.

Recommended modification of project. The Great Lakes Har- bors Study, Interim Report on Buffalo Harbor, N.Y., as submitted to Congress on May 14, 1959, recommends modification of the existing project to provide for a depth of 30 feet for a width of 1,000 feet in the shoal area on the approach to the south entrance channel; 30 feet in the outer area and 29 feet in the inner area of the south entrance channel; and 28 feet in the southerly part of the outer harbor, south of a line perpendicular to and 2,000 feet north of the southerly end of the south breakwater; at an esti- mated cost to the United States of $2,370,500 and $14,000 an- nually for maintenance in addition to that now required. All estimated costs are on November 1957 price levels. The recom- 1452 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 mended modification is contained in House Document No. 151, 86th Congress. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorizations amount to $6,977,800 (July 1960). Terminal facilities. There are approximately 50 terminals for the handling of all types of cargoes. The most important cargoes handled are iron ore, coal, grain, limestone, sand and gravel, steel products, scrap, 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 Niagara Frontier Port Authority owns three wharves which are leased for miscellaneous freight. 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 1951, Corps of Engineers.) Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Contract operations for widening Buffalo River near the Ohio Street Bridge were completed in July 1959. The contractors' derrickboat with clamshell bucket and dipper dredge removed 1,304 cubic yards of unclassified material and 1,432 cubic yards of ledge rock at a fiscal year cost of $100,943. The improvement of Buffalo Harbor north entrance channel is being accomplished in two stages. The first stage, consisting of dredging the channel lakeward of the existing outer harbor breakwater, was completed by a lump-sum contract in October 1959. During the fiscal year 155,200 cubic yards of material were removed and the fiscal year costs were $613,472. Stage II, which comprises dredging the remainder of the north entrance channel, widening the southerly portion of Buffalo River entrance at the U.S. Coast Guard and relocation of the U.S. Coast Guard facilities, construction of a detached breakwater, removal of a portion of the existing breakwater and construction of pierheads, is being accomplished by a continuing contract which is 27 percent complete. Work during the fiscal year consisted of dredging of about 169,500 cubic yards of ma- terial from entrance channel through the outer harbor in the vicinity of the old breakwater, continuing construction on the detached breakwater, closure cells, gage house and cellular bulk- head. This work was accomplished at a fiscal year cost of $1,324,473. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $22,900. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) re- moved a total of 446,996 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 60,000 square yards of the Buffalo River entrance channel, and 810,000 square yards of the 23- and 25-foot-deep areas of the outer harbor for restora- tion of project depths of 23 and 25 feet at a cost of $126,427. Snagging and clearing in project channels were accomplished by RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1453 Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $21,548 . The U.S. derrickboat Niagara repaired 100 linear feet of the south break- water at a cost of $27,775. Removal of shoals in the Buffalo River and Ship Canal was accomplished by contract, employing derrickboat-type dredges with 9 cubic yard clamshell bucket, and 181,020 cubic yards, scow measure, of material were removed for restoration of project depth of 22 feet at a cost of $284,312. The U.S. derrickboats Tonawanda and Niagara along with rented dragline and dump trucks completed repairs to approximately 900 linear feet of the south pier at a cost of $212,106 (deferred main- tenance funds). The total cost was $2,733,956, of which $2,038,888 was for new work and $695,068 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 70 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 were 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. Removal of three shoals to 27 feet, on the direct approach to the south entrance channel was completed in 1954. Deepening of the 25-foot project area in the south entrance channel was com- pleted in 1954. Deepening of the 25-foot project area in the southerly part of the outer harbor was completed in 1956. Dur- ing 1955 and 1956, the Buffalo River Channel was deepened to the project depth of 22 feet, the Buffalo River entrance channel was deepened to the project depth of 23 feet, and Ship Canal was deepened to project depth of 22 feet. Deepening of the 23-foot project area in the outer harbor was completed in 1956 except for strips 50 feet wide along the harbor line and 180 feet wide between the Merchants Refrigerating Co.'s piers and the south end of the city dike. Widening the Buffalo River Channel at the Ohio Street Bridge was completed in July 1959. The harbor structures are generally in good condition except at various points of the south breakwater completed in 1902, and old breakwater, completed in 1889, 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. Repair of the collapsed 1,400- foot-long south pier was commenced in December 1959 and par- tially completed. The controlling depth in the completed portion of the north- erly part of the outer harbor is 22 feet; in the north entrance channel is 21 feet; in the south entrance channel, and the south- erly outer harbor is 25 feet; 22 feet in the Buffalo River en- trance channel and in Buffalo River; and 22 feet in the Buffalo Ship Canal; all at low-water datum. The work remaining to be done to complete the project con- 1454 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 sists of the deepening of the north entrance channel to 25 feet in earth and 26 feet in rock; deepening the remainder of the 23-foot outer harbor area; construction of a detached rubblemound break- water, 1,800 feet in length westerly of the north entrance channel and widening of the southerly portion of the Buffalo River en- trance channel. The total costs of the existing project were $18,252,504 of which $11,234,568, including $655,500 public works funds, was for new work; $7,017,936 for maintenance. In addition $390,000 was expended from contributed funds for maintenance.

BLACK ROCK CHANNEL AND TONAWANDA HARBOR, N.Y. Location. This improvement is essentially that of the upper 131/2 miles of the Niagara River from its head at Lake Erie, Buffalo, N.Y., to and including Tonawanda Harbor, N.Y. It comprises the improvements formerly designated by three titles; viz, Lake Erie entrance to Black Rock Harbor and Erie Basin, N.Y., Black Rock Harbor and Channel, New York, and Tona- wanda 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1455 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 north- west; thence generally 200 feet wide through Black Rock Chan- nel 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 deepwater to the downstream end of the deep-water pool at the Tonawanda waterworks intake crib, a distance of about 4.7 miles, widened to 500 feet opposite the Colorado Iron & Fuel Corp.'s plant, by the removal of 200 feet of the westerly end of Rattlesnake 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 6,800 feet long, and generally 400 feet wide in Tonawanda inner har- bor, the lower 1,500 feet to be 21 feet deep and the remainder 16 feet deep; 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 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 City. The project depth in the river is referred to the river surface when Lake Erie is at low-water datum. Ordinary fluc- tuations 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 de- crease to about 70 percent of fluctuations above the lock when they reach North Tonawanda. The estimate of cost for new work is $10,798,000 (1960) exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects. The improve- ment of guide pier at the Black Rock Lock is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $931,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $276,100 including costs for operation and care of Black Rock Lock. 1456 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1457 Terminal facilities. There are no freight terminals along the channel above the Black Rock Lock. Along the upstream end of the channel there are two small-boat harbors, one unused seaplane terminal, one naval militia dock, two yacht club docks, and several other privately owned servicing and storage docks for recreational and other small craft. The Niagara Frontier Port Authority owns two terminals and warehouse at Erie Basin, which are leased for miscellaneous freight. Below the Black Rock Lock and at Tonawanda Harbor, there are eight terminals for petroleum products, two for iron ore, stone, and pig iron, two for coal, one for molasses, four for sand and gravel, one for lumber, and one for pulpwood, all of which are private. There are also two State-owned barge canal terminals at Tonawanda, N.Y. There are several marine service and supply docks for recreational and other small craft. The Corps of Engi- neers 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. 1, revised 1951, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Mis- cellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accom- plished by Government plant and hired labor. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) removed 60,903 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material from Black Rock Canal and Niagara River Channel for restoration of project depth of 21 feet. Snagging and clearing in project channels were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor. Two hundred linear feet of the lower guide pier were repaired by contract, and plans and specifications initiated for repairs to an additional 100 linear feet. Operation and Care-Black Rock Lock: The lock was in con- tinuous operation 275 days and closed for the winter season January 1 through April 1, 1960, inclusive. Ordinary maintenance and repair of the structures and grounds were accomplished throughout the year by Government plant and hired labor. The signal station, located in the canal at the foot of West Genesee Street, was in continuous operation 255 days during the naviga- tion season.

S. ARMY, 1960 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 98 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 deepwater pool above Tonawanda, in 1913; and Tonawanda section, includ- ing turning basin, 1921. The channel was further widened as fol- lows: 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 1948-1949. Widening Lake Erie entrance to canal was completed in 1958. The Tonawanda Creek Channel was completed in 1902. Tona- wanda Inner Harbor Channel was completed in 1904. The en- largement 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 com- pleted in 1916, except for the 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. The upstream 100 linear feet of the lower West Guide pier were repaired during 1951 and an additional 200 feet repaired in 1959. The bridge at Ferry Street, operated and maintained by the city of Buffalo since 1954, was completed in 1914, and the lock-operating houses in 1924. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of improvement and extension of the guide pier, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and deepening of the lower 1,500 feet of the Tonowanda Inner Harbor. All structures are in poor condition. Both the towpath wall and Bird Island pier are badly deteriorated and require consid- erable annual maintenance. Several sections of the towpath wall fail yearly, requiring removal of stone and debris from the chan- nel and repair of the structure. The operating equipment and controls for the Black Rock Lock are antiquated and inefficient. The east channel face of the lock wall was repaired in 1953, and the west channel face in 1954. The upper wing wall of the lock has shifted laterally approximately 2 feet at the maximum point, and the concrete superstructure on the lower guide pier is badly cracked, indicating a possible failure of the timber crib. The controlling depths at low-water datum are Black Rock RIVERS AND HARBORS - -BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1459 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 costs of the existing project were $17,011,650, of which $10,460,093, including $1,764,922 emergency relief funds, was for new work; $2,260,484 for maintenance; and $4,291,073 for oper- ating and care. In addition, the sum of $1,356,007 was expended between July 9, 1914, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

The improvement is located in the Niagara River adjacent to the cities of Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. (See U.S. Lake Survey Charts Nos. 312 and 31.) Previous project. Authorized by Senate executive resolution dated November 27, 1941, ratifying Executive G, 77th Congress. For further details, see pages 2189 and 2190 of the Annual Report for 1949. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the following: (1) Chippawa-Grass Island Pool control structure ex- tending 1,550 feet from the Canadian shore out into the Niagara River parallel to the existing submerged weir and about 300 feet downstream therefrom. With the exception of an approach fill adjacent to the Canadian shore, the structure will consist entirely of piers and 13 movable control gates; (2) excavation in the Horseshoe Cascades lying immediately upstream from the Cana- dian flank of the Horseshoe Falls and a crest fill on that flank about 100 feet long; (3) excavation in the Horseshoe Cascades lying immediately upstream from the Goat Island flank of the Horseshoe Falls and a crest fill on that flank about 300 feet long. Construction of the Chippawa-Grass Island Pool control structure and excavation in the Horseshoe Cascades on the Canadian flank will be accomplished by the Government of Canada, Excavation 1460 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 in the Horseshoe Cascades on the Goat Island flank will be accom- plished by the Government of the United States. The estimate of cost for new work is $12,440,000 (1957) ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. In accordance with article II of 1950 treaty, costs will be divided equally be- tween the Governments of United States and Canada. The aver- age annual maintenance cost during the past 3 years was $53,300. The existing project was authorized by a treaty concerning the uses of the waters of the Niagara River between the United States and Canada as signed at Washington, D.C., on February 27, 1950, approved by the Canadian Parliament on June 14, 1950, consented to by the U.S. Senate on August 9, 1950, and put into force by an exchange of ratifications at Ottawa on October 10, 1950. By letter dated July 14, 1953 from the Secretary of State to the Secretary of the Army, the Department of the Army was designated as the agency of the United States to perform its obligations with respect to planning, supervision, and construc- tion of the remedial works, to obtain the appropriation of funds necessary to carry on the work connected with the whole project, and to disburse such funds in connection with the performance of the work. By letter dated July 28, 1953, the Secretary of the Army accepted the arrangements and designated the Chief of Engineers to supervise the necessary planning and construction. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: (1) Canadian operations: None. Payments were made by Canada to the United States in the amount of $181,319. Based on favor- able consideration by the Minister of National Revenue, at Ottawa, to the foregoing of all Federal (Canada) taxes, customs, and excise taxes, on goods and materials supplied and used by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario in construction of the control structure, they received $349,820 (Canadian funds) for remission of these taxes. On April 18, 1960 the commission forwarded its check which represented the United States one-half share of this tax reimbursement in United States funds. (2) United States operations: As required by the International Niagara Board of Control additional testing of the Niagara River model was completed by the Waterways Experiment Station at a cost for the year of $4,131. Reimbursement from Canada in the amount of $181,319 was received. Operation and Maintenance: Operations and ordinary mainte- nance of the remedial works consisting of labor, supplies, services and materials; stream gaging and recalibration of gages ac- complished by Canada and the United States. For this work pay- ments were made to Canada in the amount of $46,468, United States costs incurred were $5,986, and reimbursements were received from Canada in the amount of $1,635. The total net costs for the year to the United States for new work resulted in a reduction of $177,188 in the total project costs. The total net cost for the year for maintenance was $50,819. RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1461 Condition at end of fiscal year. Excavation and crestfill on both the United States and Canadian flanks of the Horseshoe Falls were completed in October 1955 and November 1955, respectively. Construction of a gage house above the falls on the United States mainland was completed during April 1955. Construction of a gage house below the falls on the United States mainland was completed during June 1957. Construction of the control house and landscaping the area adjacent to the structure were completed during September 1957. No construction work remains to be done. Operation and maintenance of structures are continued annually. The total net costs of the existing project to the United States were $6,225,077, of which $6,065,297 was for new work and $159,780 for maintenance.

Operations and results during fiscal year. Miscellaneous in- spection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $20,035 including inshore soundings in the vicinity of Great Sodus Bay Harbor, ac- complished by the U.S. Lake Survey and costing $13,941. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) removed 36,608 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over approximately 35,000 square yards of the entrance channel for restoration of project depths of 20 and 22 feet, at a cost of $25,952. Snagging and clearing, in project channels, were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, at a cost of $4,344. Eight hundred seventeen dollars was expended by the district office in connection with contractor's claim for additional payments for work done on repairs to west pier completed April through October 1958, (deferred mainte- nance funds). The total cost for maintenance was $51,148. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1940 at a cost of $249,187. The piers, completed in 1919, are generally in poor condition. The superstructure has dis- integrated and cracked in a 450-foot section of the east pier. Five hundred linear feet of the west pier was reinforced with steel- sheet piling and concrete in 1958. An adjacent 550-linear foot section of the pier is disintegrating rapidly and in need of repairs.

Local cooperation. The modification authorized by the act of June 30, 1948, which is considered to be inactive, provides for construction of the east outer harbor, provided local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will provide without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project and subsequent maintenance, as and when required; hold and save the United States free from damage due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project; con- struct a wharf about 1,300 feet long, including the necessary extension of the water-intake line, in accordance with plans ap- proved by the Chief of Engineers, and construct handling and storage facilities of such design and capacity as to insure expedi- tious 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. All prior condi- tions have been complied with. Total estimated costs for all RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1469 requirements of local cooperation for the inactive project author- izations amount to $2,149,000 (July 1957) and for the active project authorizations amount to $549,000 (July 1960). Terminal facilities. One coal terminal is open to the public. Two terminals for coal, one for petroleum products, one for ce- ment, one for wood pulp, and one for fish are private. The Os- wego Port Authority owns a public terminal, which includes a grain elevator and warehouse for miscellaneous freight. A dock owned by the State Naval Militia is private. The State of New York owns a river terminal which is used for mooring vessels. The city of Oswego owns shore facilities for recreational craft. The facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Contin- uing contract operations for construction of the 850-foot long detached rubblemound breakwater at the harbor entrance were completed in June 1960. The contractor using two 20-ton capacity derrickboats placed 23,000 tons cover stone; 24,000 tons core stone and 545 cubic yards concrete for a total cost of $732,071. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $40,966 including inshore soundings in the vicinity of Oswego accomplished by U.S. Lake Survey and costing $31,252. The U.S. hopper dredge Lyman (H.L.) removed a total of 45,790 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 82,000 square yards of the outer harbor and river entrance channel for restoration of project depth of 21 feet at a cost of $17,150. The U.S. derrickboat Niagararepaired 175 linear feet of the west rubblemound breakwater at a cost of $19,958. Snagging and clearing were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor, in project channels, at a cost of $3,540. The total cost was $813,685 of which $732,071 was for new work and $81,614 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 29 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 chan- nel 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 removal of shoals to 25 feet in the approach to the entrance channel was completed in 1957. Contract for construction of detached breakwater at this harbor entrance was initiated in 1470 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 May 1957 and completed June 1960. The breakwaters are gen- erally in fair condition except that the riprap protection along the lake side of the old west breakwater for a length of approxi- mately 1,500 feet has settled, and a 400-foot portion of the con- crete section has disintegrated and broken; slope stone in portions 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 costs of the existing project were $7,547,189, of which $6,386,754 was for new work and $1,160,435 for maintenance.

OHIO STREET BRIDGE, BUFFALO, N. Y. Location. The Ohio Street Bridge crosses the Buffalo River about 1.3 miles above the mouth of the river at Lake Erie. Buffalo River is in the city of Buffalo which is located at the eastern end of Lake Erie, in Erie County, N.Y. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 314). Existing project. Provides for the removal of the Ohio Street Bridge consisting of a movable span and a fixed span. The mov- able span with a horizontal clearance of 138 feet is a single-leaf bascule, 2-lane highway type, affording a vertical clearance when closed of 14.5 feet at low-water datum. The fixed span has a hori- zontal clearance of 85 feet. The existing bridge is to be replaced by a 4-lane highway bridge with a movable (vertical lift) span affording a horizontal clearance of 250 feet and a vertical clear- ance when closed of 18.5 feet at low-water datum. 1474 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 In accordance with the provisions of the act of June 21, 1940 (Truman-Hobbs), as amended, the Secretary of the Army on June 11, 1957, ordered the Commissioner of Public Works, City of Buffalo, to make necessary alterations to the Ohio Street Bridge as the bridge unreasonably obstructed navigation in the Buffalo River by vessels 500 feet or over in length. The estimated Federal share of the cost of new work is $2,760,000 (July 1960). The estimated non-Federal share of the cost is $1,220,000 (July 1960). Local cooperation. The Truman-Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940 provides that, upon notice to alter by the Secretary of the Army, the bridge owners shall: Prepare and submit to the Secretary for approval, plans and specifications for the alteration of the bridge; take bids for the alteration of the bridge in accordance with the approved plans, submit all bids to the Secretary together with a recommendation as to the most competent bid; submit a written guaranty that the total cost of the project will not exceed a stated sum; and upon authorization by the Secretary, proceed with the work of alteration; bear such part of the cost as determined by the Secretary to be attributable to the direct and special benefits which will accrue to the bridge owners as a result of the altera- tion, including the expectable savings in repair or maintenance costs; and that part of the cost attributable to the requirements of traffic by railroad or by highway, or both, including any ex- penditure for increased carrying capacity of the bridge, and in- cluding such proportion of the actual capital cost of the old bridge or of such part of the old bridge as may be altered or changed or rebuilt as the used service life of the whole or a part, as the case may be, bears to the total estimated service life of the whole or such part. The bridge owner, the city of Buffalo, has complied with all of the requirements. The memorandum of agreement between the United States and the city of Buffalo concerning the altera- tion of the Ohio Street Bridge was entered into on November 27, 1957. Operations and results during fiscal year. The city of Buffalo, the bridge owner, awarded two separate contracts for the con- struction of the substructure and superstructure of the new bridge. Contract operations for the substructure and approaches were initiated on July 20, 1959. The total Federal cost of the work for the fiscal year was $351,405 all for new work. Of this amount $333,862 was for reimbursement to the bridge owner for the estimated Federal share of the construction cost. Condition at end of fiscal year. On July 27, 1956 the city of Buffalo awarded an architect-engineer contract for outline plans, specifications and construction cost estimates. A contract for the construction plans, specifications and inspections was awarded to an architect-engineer by the city, on December 23, 1957. The contract for the demolition of the Ohio Street Bridge was awarded on December 15, 1958 and the work was completed during March 1959. The city of Buffalo awarded two separate contracts on FLOOD CONTROL - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1475 June 23, 1959 for construction of the substructure and the super- structure of the new bridge. Construction had not been initiated at the end of the current fiscal year 1960.

S. ARMY, 1960 32. ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Constitution and duties. The St. Lawrence Seaway Develop- ment Corporation was created by Public Law 358, 83d Congress, 2d session, approved on May 13, 1954. The Corporation was authorized to construct, in United States territory, deepwater navigation works substantially in accordance with the "Controlled single stage project, 238-242" (with a controlling depth of 27 feet in channels and canals and locks at least 800 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 30 feet over the sills), designated as "works solely for navigation" in the joint report dated January 3, 1941, of the Canadian Temporary Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin Committee and the United States St. Lawrence Advisory Committee, in the International Rapids section of the St. Lawrence River together with necessary dredging in the Thousand Islands section; and to operate and maintain such works in coordination with the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority of Canada. Responsibility of the Corps of Engineers. The St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation by letter to the Secretary of the Army, dated September 17, 1954, designated the Corps of Engineers to represent the Corporation as agent for design and construction of the project. Location. The St. Lawrence River is part of a system which comprises all of the five Great Lakes with their drainage area and connecting waterways, and the St. Lawrence River proper from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, with its tributaries. Project. The features of the project assigned to the Corps of Engineers as construction agent includes the construction of navigation facilities in the reach of the St. Lawrence River that is between the United States and Canada, and coordination there- of with the power facilities to be constructed concurrently by others. The project has been divided into three sections, namely; Thousand Islands, Long Sault Canal, and Cornwall Island. In the Thousand Islands section only channel dredging is required; in the Long Sault Canal section a channel, two lock structures, highway tunnel, access roads, maintenance and operation facili- ties, and miscellaneous appurtenant works; and, in the Cornwall Island section channel dredging, training dikes, removal of the existing high-level bridge and construction of a new International high-level bridge with necessary relocated access roads thereto. In addition, general purpose facilities are required consisting of navigation aids and related facilities; a Marine base and other maintenance facilities and an operational building for the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation at Massena, N.Y. Operations and results during fiscal year. The "as built" draw- ings were completed during February 1960. Dredging operations by hired labor and U.S. dipper dredges Paraisoand Gaillard con- tinued in sections "B" and "E" of the Cornwall Island portion of the project. All contract work was completed on structures, utilities, and roads. The waterway has been operative during the navigation season to 27-foot depth since formal dedication on June 26 and 27, 1959. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES - BUFFALO, N. Y., DISTRICT 1483 a. Thousand Island Section. All work for this section was completed in December 1958. b. Long Sault Section. The remaining sweeping of the channel between mile 78 and 85 was completed. Widening of the upper approach channels to the Eisenhower and Snell locks was ac- complished by the U.S. dipper dredges Paraiso and Gaillard dur- ing the period November 13, 1959 and May 12, 1960. Contract operations for the Snell lock access road, mooring basin and utilities for the gate lifter were completed. c. Cornwall Island Section. Painting of the International high- level bridge was completed by contract. Dredging in the South Cornwall Channel by hired labor and the U.S. dipper dredges Gaillard and Paraiso continued and on June 30, 1960 operations in sections "B" and "E" were about 80 percent complete. d. General purpose facilities. Contract operations for the North Grass River access road to the maintenance building at the marine base and the interior of the maintenance building were completed. All work for this section is completed. Conditions at end of fiscal year. The contracting authority of Corps of Engineers was terminated on December 31, 1958. The Corps continued supervision of contract operations until they were completed in December 1959. Three contractor claims are outstanding. It is anticipated that these claims will be settled during fiscal year 1961. Hired labor and U.S. dipper dredge opera- tions will be continued by the Corps of Engineers. Completion of dredging in sections "B" and "E" of the South Cornwall Channel is scheduled for December 1, 1960. Widening the approach chan- nel to the gate lifter storage area in Grass River will be com- pleted in 1961. On June 30, 1960 the estimated cost of the work remaining was $2 million. The St. Lawrence Seaway Develop- ment Corporation has operated the waterway for 27-foot naviga- tion since the formal dedication on June 26 and 27, 1959. UNITED STATES LAKE SURVEY This district embraces the United States portion of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River drainage basin, Lake Champlain, the lakes and other naturally navigable waters of the New York canal system, and the Minnesota-Ontario border lakes.

The Lake Champlain portion covers 430 square miles and 560 miles of coast line of that lake. The additional New York State portion stretches 62 miles along the canalized waters of the State from the south end of Lake Champlain along the Hudson River to the head of tidewater at Albany and 333 miles westward from Troy at the confluence of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers along the Erie Canal to Lyons, along the Oswego Canal to Oswego, and along the Cayuga and Seneca Canal into the Finger Lakes. The Minnesota-Ontario border lakes portion reaches about 300 miles from Lake Superior to and including Lake of the Woods in the Hudson Bay drainage basin. Previous projects. In the region described, previous projects of the Lake Survey have specified provision of complete naviga- tion charts designed to suit the needs of existing use of the waters. These projects, in addition to hydrographic and topo- graphic surveys, contemplated the establishment of the requisite horizontal and vertical control where not already in existence, and the measurement and analysis of other factors pertaining to navi- gation. 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 contem- plated compilation of navigation charts of the added waters from 1485 1486 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 all existing survey data pertaining thereto, supplemented by such additional surveys as might be required. The scope of responsibility was again extended by the Sundry Civil Act of June 23, 1913, to include Lake Champlain, and again by the Sundry Civil Act of August 1, 1914, to include the Minne- sota-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 ex- isting surveys, supplemented by additional surveys as required. Responsibilities of the U.S. Lake Survey in the Great Lakes portion of the region covered, apart from the charting and navi- gational aspects, consist of those pertaining to lake levels, hy- drology, 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 discussed prior and existing responsibilities in these respects. A board appointed by the Division Engineer, Great Lakes Divi- sion, to study and clarify U.S. 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. Thus the report is the foundation for the continuing activities of the U.S. 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 con- cerned with charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued, consisting essen- tially 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 navi- gation 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 scales and coverages are not fixed. Changing requirements of navigation render existing charts inadequate, alter coverage and scale requirements, and make 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 hori- zontal and vertical control. The original control was established under the early projects in connection with the initial surveys by the U.S. Lake Survey on the Great Lakes and by other Govern- ment 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 U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1487 directed toward preservation of both horizontal and vertical control by periodic recovery or monuments, replacement when they are found destroyed or damaged, determination of correct- ness of elevations by instrumental means and water transfers, and augmentation where required for U.S. Lake Survey and North Central Division activities. In the same connection, neces- sary readjustments are made as indicated to correlate U.S. Lake Survey horizontal control with nationwide horizontal control net- works of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. The project includes publications of information for the benefit of navigation, in addition 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 supplements, issued monthly during the navigation season, provide corrections and additions to the Pilot text occasioned by constantly changing conditions in the navigational areas. Revisory material for the annual editions of the Pilot and material for the supplements are collected by U.S. Lake Survey sections operating in the field, the various Corps of Engineers districts having jurisdiction over the waters con- cerned, and by other United States and Canadian governmental organizations. Other data collected and disseminated to navigation, or in- cluded in the project for future collection and dissemination, consist of such features as lake and river bottom characteristics, water temperatures, etc. This phase of activity often requires field determination, analysis of data, and publication of results. Since 1859, lake level gages installed and operated by the U.S. 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 publica- tion of the results in various forms. In the field of hydraulics, the present project provides for con- tinuing studies of all phases relating to the connecting and out- flow rivers to affirm the fundamental laws of flow or to determine the changed relationships resulting from changes in river regi- men. 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 rela- tionships determined and the equations derived enter into such studies as lake level regulation, compensations for increases in river capacity caused by channel improvements, 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 1488 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 addition to factors discussed above, deals with precipitation over the lake basins, runoff, evaporation from the lake surfaces, ice retardations and effects, and similar phenomena. The work in- volves compilation of data, supplied primarily by other organiza- tions, in form to be used in studies and problems discussed above. The overall responsibility of the U.S. Lake Survey, involving the measurement of lake and river levels, hydraulics, and hy- drology, presented as part of the present project in the foregoing paragraphs, is concerned with the preservation of levels of the Great Lakes, and with the establishment and maintenance of datum planes which are used for control of Corps of Engineers river and harbor work and as planes of reference for navigation charts. Operations and results during fiscal year. Offshore sounding of Lake Erie, which was started during 1958, was completed by the end of the fiscal year. Investigation sweep surveys were made in the area of a reported striking of a vessel in the southerly approach to Grays Reef Passage in northeastern Lake Michigan, and over the wreck of the Monrovia in central Lake Huron. The surveyship Williams was used during the foregoing operations, and Shoran electronic positioning equipment was used to position the survey vessel during the offshore sounding work. Hydrographic survey operations were completed on Lake St. Lawrence and upstream thereof to Ogdensburg, N.Y. This work was part of a joint survey with the Canadian Hydrographic Service to provide new navigation charts of the reach of river affected by the power and seaway projects. Inshore soundings were accomplished along the eastern end of Lake Ontario from Stony Point to Nine Mile Point, N.Y. Revisory surveys were conducted in certain of the harbors and other critical areas of Lake Michigan, along the lower Fox River, and in Lake Winnebago. Similar surveys were made of portions of Lakes Huron and Superior. Maintenance of the vertical control network was accomplished coincident with the revisory survey program. First-order levels which were begun along the Detroit River late in fiscal year 1959 were completed. The line was extended around Lake St. Clair and along the St. Clair River to Lakeport on Lake Huron. Four con- nections were made with a similar line being run along the Canadian side of these waterways by the Geodetic Survey of Canada. First-order levels were also run at Dunkirk, Cleveland, Toledo, St. Clair Flats, along the Saginaw River, and from Petoskey along the Inland Route to Cheboygan, Mich. These levels were run to establish International Great Lakes Datum. Seventeen special water-level gages, which were installed late in fiscal year 1959, were operated during July, August, and September and 11 gages were installed in May and operated during June in selected harbors for verifying vertical control and furnishing information for crustal movement study. A detailed description of the above aggregate accomplishments in the field during the fiscal year, consolidated according to geo- graphical location, follows: U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1489 Lake Superior: Special water-level gages were installed and maintained at five harbors during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Revisory surveys were accomplished in Duluth-Superior Harbor. Lake Michigan: Approximately 3.5 square miles of sweeping operations were accomplished in the southerly approach to Grays Reef Passage where the freighter Irvin L. Clymer reported strik- ing a submerged object. Revisory surveys were conducted in all harbors from Two Rivers, Wis., clockwise around the lake to South Haven, Mich. Special water-level gages were operated in 15 harbors during July, August, and September, 1959, and one was installed in May and operated during June. Lake Huron: Vertical control work was accomplished and revisory surveys conducted at some of the United States harbors. Revisory surveys were conducted, 28 new benchmarks were estab- lished, and a first-order level line was run from Cheboygan to Petoskey along the Inland Route. First-order levels were also run along the Saginaw River. Sweeping operations to determine the least depth over the wreck of the steamer Monrovia were con- ducted. Four special water-level gages were installed in May and operated during June. St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair: Revisory surveys were ac- complished, and a line of first-order levels and the related com- putations toward the establishment of International Great Lakes Datum were completed. Discharge measurements were made at Port Huron in August, November, and May. Detroit River: Vertical control was maintained and computa- tions were completed toward the establishment of International Great Lakes Datum. Discharge measurements were made at De- troit in November. Lake Erie: Thirty-one square miles of investigation sweeping and 537 lineal miles of detail sounding for Detroit District along the proposed vessel courses between Detroit River and South- east Shoal were accomplished. More than 6,300 lineal miles of offshore soundings were run, commencing at the limit of the 1958 offshore work and progressing easterly to Buffalo, N.Y., which finished this project on the lake. First-order levels were run at Dunkirk, Toledo, and Cleveland. One special water-level gage, which was installed late in fiscal year 1959, was operated during July, August, and September and one gage was installed in May and operated during June. Lake Ontario: Inshore hydrography was completed along the easterly shore of the lake from Stony Point to Nine Mile Point, N.Y. A total of 599 lineal miles of sounding lines and 43.9 miles of shoreline traverse were completed. A total of 175 miles of Tellurometer traverse was run between Stony Point and the Niagara River to establish horizontal control points for inshore and offshore hydrography. One special water-level gage, which was installed late in fiscal year 1959, was operated during July, August, and September. St. Lawrence River: The joint survey with the Canadian Hydrographic Service of the portion of the river affected by the 1490 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 seaway and power projects was completed. Over 550 lineal miles of detail sounding were run. In addition to the operations listed above, hydraulic and hy- drologic activities included maintenance of water-level gages of the Great Lakes and the outflow rivers; reduction, tabulation, and dissemination of data relating to lake and river levels; computa- tion and tabulation of riverflows, diversions, precipitation, and other hydraulic and hydrologic factors; and study and preparation of numerous reports on hydraulic and hydrologic studies in con- nection with such matters as the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Projects, the deepening of the connecting channels, the redevelop- ment of power on the Niagara River, and the joint United States- Canadian study of Great Lakes basic hydraulic and hydrologic data. Forty-eight permanent gaging sites were maintained, of which 46 were equipped with recording instruments. An additional 17 seasonal gages were operated during July, August, and September, and 11 seasonal gages were operated in June. The recorded data were reduced and tabulated. Water temperatures and other meteorological observations were made in connection with hydrographic survey operations. The following work was accomplished during the fiscal year in connection with various international boards and committees: INTERNATIONAL JOINT COMMISSION The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended the semiannual meetings of the International Joint Commission in Ottawa, Ontario, and in Washington, D.C., and a special meeting of the Commission in Toronto, Ontario, to observe a demonstra- tion of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario model of the Niagara River. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Regular and systematic reports of pertinent water levels and recommendations regarding the regulation of Lake Superior as indicated by the current rule curve were furnished to the Board. INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD OF CONTROL AND WORKING COMMITTEE The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended meet- ings of the Board in Ottawa, Ontario, and Washington, D.C. INTERNATIONAL ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended eight meetings of the Board; two in Washington, D.C.; three in Ottawa, Ontario; and one each in Toronto, Ontario; Buffalo, N.Y.; and New York City. They also made a special inspection of the section of the St. Lawrence River affected by the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Projects and of the structures of the projects. Several construction briefs of the Power Entities were reviewed and a U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1491 number of studies and reports thereon were made for the Board as discussed below. On November 1, 1959, the Board assumed responsibilities for levels and flows of the St. Lawrence River formerly held by the St. Lawrence River Joint Board of Engi- neers, resulting in additional responsibilities in these respects for the Lake Survey. (1) Committee on Levels and Flows. The District Engineer is the United States member of this committee. The only meeting of the Committee held during the year was in Toronto, Ontario. Periodic studies were made of future probable water supplies to Lake Ontario and reports thereon were made to the Board in connection with selection of the appropriate time to initiate regulation of Lake Ontario in accordance with Regulation Plan 1958-A. The computation of Lake Ontario preproject levels and outflows was maintained. In this connection a method of determin- ing preliminary values of these data during the winter was de- veloped for use in monitoring the regulation by the Power Entities to preproject conditions. The Board had acquired this responsi- bility with the assumption of the Joint Board of Engineers' responsibilities for levels and flows. A report was compiled and submitted to the Board upon the operating procedure for collect- ing Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River data and for coordinat- ing preproject and procedural regulation computations. (2) Field Representatives. The District Engineer is the United States Field Representative. Three construction briefs were re- viewed; these pertained to the grade of a disposal area, to the installation of ice booms, and to the rating of the Cornwall diversion. A number of reports on the peaking operations of the powerhouses were also reviewed, and a member of the Lake Survey staff was sent to the project to observe the effects of the peaking during certain critical ice periods. A member of the Lake Survey staff was also present at the project to represent the United States section of the Board during Gibson test ratings of several of the turbines. (3) Regulation Representatives. On January 22, 1960 the Board appointed the District Engineer as United States Regulation Representative and a member of his staff as alternate to monitor the preproject regulation. When regulation in accordance with plan 1958-A started on April 20, 1960, the Board directed the United States Representative and his alternate to continue with the previously assigned responsibilities. In the discharge of these responsibilities the plan 1958-A operational outflow of Lake On- tario is computed each Wednesday for the ensuing week in co- ordination with Canada, and the Power Authority of the State of New York is informed of the value. One official appearance was made at the project by the United States Regulation Representa- tive and his alternate to establish liaison with Power Authority representatives and other interests in the area. ST. LAWRENCE JOINT WORKING COMMITTEE ON RIVER GAGING The District Engineer is chairman of the United States section. He and members of his staff attended the two meetings of the 1492 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Committee held during the year, one in Toronto, Ontario, the other in New York City. An inspection of the St. Lawrence River water-level gages was made, and monthly random checks were made of the record reductions of the Power Entities. Two field in- spections were made with the Water Resources Branch, Depart- ment of Northern Affairs and National Resources, of the pro- cedures for the determination of flow through the structures in the St. Lawrence power pool below Iroquois Dam. Random checks of the daily flow from Lake St. Lawrence through the several structures were made each month and the checks were coordi- nated with the Water Resources Branch. The 10th and 11th progress reports of the Committee were compiled and presented to the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control and the St. Lawrence River Joint Board of Engineers. Briefs on ratings of flow through the control valve in the Cornwall Canal closure structure and through the turbines of the powerhouses were re- viewed. A study was made of water levels recorded by telemetering gages used in the project as opposed to mechanical self-register- ing gages. COORDINATING COMMITTEE ON GREAT LAKES BASIC HYDRAULIC AND HYDROLOGIC DATA AND SUBCOMMITTEES The Chief Technical Assistant of the Lake Survey serves as a member of the United States section of this Committee. One meeting of the Committee was held during the year; in Detroit, Mich. In addition to the Chief Technical Assistant, members of the Lake Survey staff that comprise the United States sections of the subcommittees ' attended this meeting. A Committee report, "Lake Ontario Outflows, 1860-1954," was compiled and submitted to the United States Lake Survey and to the three Canadian Departments to which the Committee is advisory. (1) Lake Levels Subcommittee. The United States member of the subcommittee attended the three subcommittee meetings; two in Ottawa, Ontario, and one in Detroit, Mich. Drafts of the Lake Ontario portion and the St. Lawrence River, part I, portion of the report "History of Water Level Gages in the Great Lakes Area" were submitted to the Coordinating Committee. (2) River Flow Subcommittee. The United States member of the subcommittee attended the one subcommittee meeting in De- troit, Mich. The report "Lake Ontario Outflows, 1860-1954" was compiled for the Coordinating Committee. A study on Lake Erie outflows was in progress throughout the year. (3) Vertical Control Subcommittee. The United States member of the subcommittee attended the three meetings of the subcom- mittee; two in Ottawa, Ontario, and one in Detroit, Mich. Reports entitled "Crustal Movement in the Great Lakes Area-Second Interim Report-Lake Superior," "Crustal Movement in the Great Lakes Area-Second Interim Report-Lake Michigan-Huron," and "Establishment of International Great Lakes Datum, 1955, Part II, Niagara River, Welland Canal, and Lake Erie" were sub- mitted to the Coordinating Committee. (4) Physical Data Subcommittee. The United States member U. S. LAKE SURVEY 1493 of the subcommittee attended the three meetings of the sub- committee; two in Ottawa, Ontario, and one in Detroit, Mich. A report entitled "Physical Data of the Great Lakes Area, First Interim Report-Lake Ontario" was submitted to the Coordinat- ing Committee. Work was done upon the determination of Lake Erie drainage basin areas and of the volume of water in Lake Ontario. Data collected by U.S. Lake Survey field sections, supplemented by information from numerous sources, were compiled for pro- duction of 48 revised chart editions, 1 new chart and 1 new chart volume, and 29 chart reprints. Modification in aids to navigation and other critical chart data was made by hand on 188,609 copies of the stock of printed charts to maintain it currently accurate to the date of issue or sale. This undertaking involved 2,104,389 separate operations consisting of deletion of changed chart fea- tures and addition of the new features. Revised editions of 58 charts and 30 reprints were processed and printed during the year. In addition to the charts, 1,190 hydrographs of lake levels and 17,000 chart catalogs were printed. Chart sales for the year amounted to 106,601 copies. The proceeds of sales amounted to $93,793.25. An additional 12,026 charts were issued for official use. The 1960 edition of the Great Lakes Pilot was prepared, the copy was forwarded to the Govern- ment Printing Office for reproduction, and the publication became available in April 1960. Supplements Nos. 3 through 7 to the 1959 Pilot were prepared and the copy was provided to the printing contractor monthly from July through November 1959. Supple- ments Nos. 1 and 2 to the 1960 Pilot were prepared in a similar manner in May and June 1960. The U.S. Lake Survey, as agent for the Superintendent of Documents, sold 3,015 copies of the Great Lakes Pilot during the fiscal year, and transmitted $7,537.50 to that official for such sales. An additional 456 copies of the publication were issued for official use. Sales of supplements to the Pilot amounted to 3015 sets, realizing $2,261.25 in sales proceeds. The Pilots which were issued were each complemented by a set of supplements. A total of $1,194.75 was realized from the sale of 1,300 Waterborne Commerce Statistics publications, parts 1-5. An additional 615 copies of these publications were issued for official use. In addition to the above publications, a monthly lake level bulletin and tabulations of other hydraulic and hydrologic factors of the Great Lakes 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 monthly bulletin above was sent regularly to over 2,900 official and private recipients. Tabulations of river dis- charges, precipitation, stages at specific locations, and other data were also dispatched regularly to 250 additional receivers, these being primarily official. The foregoing operations were all maintenance. The total cost during the year was $614,539. Reimbursable printing work by the Map and Chart Plant amounted to $135,307 of which $20,514 was 1494 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 received for reproducing project maps and other special maps for the Corps of Engineers districts. The cost of printing naviga- tion charts amounted to $56,399 and was charged against the revolving fund, these costs to be realized through the sale of charts to the public. The remainder amounting to $58,394 was received for Army Map Service ground maps. To include the costs of revisory surveys and adjacent inshore soundings in the operations and maintenance budget for each project, direct allotments are not made to the U.S. Lake Survey for those purposes, but reim- bursements for the work are made by the districts concerned. Reimbursable work under this category during the fiscal year 1960 amounted to $48,600 for inshore soundings and $85,000 for revisory surveys. Other reimbursable work accomplished by the Lake Survey for other district offices amounted to $159,346 during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. All new work under the various projects has been completed. Work under the existing project is composed solely of maintenance. The total cost of new work under all projects since the inauguration of the Survey in 1841, amounted to $6,729,811. New work under the existing project, cost $2,755,914 and maintenance thereunder to June 30, 1960, cost $9,958,872, amounting to. a total for the present project during its 54 years of existence of $12,714,786. At the end of the fiscal year Lake Survey publications available for issue to official users and for sale to the general public consisted of 120 charts of the Great Lakes and connecting waters (including a volume of 12 sheets of the Michigan Inland Route), five charts of Lake Champlain, three charts (and a volume of 60 sheets) of the New York canals, 17 charts of the Minnesota- Ontario border lakes, the 1960 Great Lakes Pilot, and the sup- plements to the Pilot. In addition, a hydrograph of mean monthly lake levels is published for free distribution, as well as the monthly bulletins of lake levels showing current elevations, com- parisons with past levels and forecasts of future levels. Tabula- tions of river discharges, precipitation, stages at specific locations on the lakes, and other hydraulic and hydrologic data are also available. Other tabulations and compilations of data in the chart- ing and geodetic fields are posted currently for use in answering the large number of inquiries for such data received each year.

Santa Barbara Harbor is on the Pacific coast, 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 320 miles southeast of San Francisco Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5261.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for main- tenance by dredging of depths existing in 1934 in the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed by local interests and permits the maintenance of the harbor by means of a fixed sand- intercepting plant to be provided and operated by and at the expense of local interests; the United States to make available for the operation of the plant an amount not exceeding $30,000 annually, whenever funds are allotted for such purpose, provided that there shall be deducted from such funds the actual cost of The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 30, 193.5 Maintenance by dredging of the present depths into Senate Committee print, 73d the harbor formed by the breakwater constructed Cong., 2d sess. by local interests.

The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The average annual Federal maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $25,350. Prior to adoption by Congress, the work was authorized by the Public Works Administration. Local cooperation. No specific local cooperation is required. However, $462,986 of non-Federal funds made available by local interests have been spent as follows: $450,322 to cover excess cost of depositing dredged material on the beach, over the esti- mated cost of similar dredging with disposal at sea; and $12,664 for dredging in the vicinity of the pier formerly owned by the Navy. In addition to the above, the city of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County have expended for harbor improvements a total of $2,290,452, which includes a private donation to the city of about $450,000 for (a) the construction of that part of the exist- ing breakwater that was constructed as a detached breakwater, (b) the purchase of a hydraulic dredge and a dredge pipeline, (c) the operation of the dredge, and (d) the construction of boat slips. Private local interests have expended $300,000 for miscel- laneous harbor work. The city of Santa Barbara has entered into a contract with the United States to substitute, in lieu of the fixed sand-intercepting plant, a movable dredge to work within the protected area to shape the shoal resulting from the travel of sand around the breakwater so as to provide added protection within the harbor and to pump the surplus sand and future accretions from the harbor area to the downcoast beaches. The city will provide and operate a dredge of sufficient capacity to maintain an entrance channel into the harbor with a minimum depth of 15 feet and a minimum width of 300 feet. Subject to the availability of opera- tion and maintenance funds, the United States will reimburse the city on or before June 30 of each fiscal year, the sum not to exceed $30,000 toward the actual cost of condition surveys and operation of the dredge. This contract, dated March 6, 1956, was executed March 22, 1956, to be effective as of July 1, 1956. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities consist of a wharf 2,200 feet long, a pier 335 feet long, a landing float, an open mooring and slip anchorage for small craft, and a launching ramp for small craft. The wharf, which is equipped with ware- house, loading facilities, and facilities for small-craft repair, is used for general cargo and for servicing fishing and oil-explora- tion boats. The pier, which was constructed by the Navy, is now operated by the city of Santa Barbara and is used for servicing pleasure craft and light commercial boats. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Condition surveys and maintenance-dredging payroll reports submitted by the city 1500 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 of Santa Barbara were audited, and the city of Santa Barbara was reimbursed under the terms of the maintenance-dredging contract. The costs, from regular funds, were $31,969, compris- ing $30,000 for maintenance performed by contract and $1,969 for maintenance performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The city of Santa Barbara has submitted evidence that it has maintained an adequate entrance channel into the harbor.

Port Hueneme Harbor is on the coast of California, 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 345 miles south of San Francisco. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 5007 and 5202.) The harbor is locally known as Ventura County Harbor. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for estab- RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1501 lishment of a harbor for light-draft vessels on the coast of southern California about a mile northwest of the existing harbor of Port Hueneme and for construction of shore-protection works. Ventura County, the sponsor of the project, requested modifica- tion of the document plan of harbor improvement to utilize more land now unimproved and less subdivided land and submitted a modified plan that was adopted and approved by the district engineer. This plan, which provides facilities for berthing and servicing about 500 small craft and commercial fishing boats at approxi- mately the same site as that under the document plan, provides for an entrance channel 20 feet deep, 300 feet wide, and about 1,650 feet long-protected by two parallel jetties about 1,300 feet long; an entrance basin 20 feet deep, 300 to 750 feet wide, and about 1,750 feet long; an inner basin 10 feet deep, 900 to 1,400 feet wide, and 1,200 to 2,000 feet long; and a side basin 10 feet deep, 100 to 250 feet wide, and 900 feet long. The dredged material, estimated at 3,774,000 cubic yards from the entrance channel and basins, is to be deposited to restore the downcoast shoreline. The project also provides for the construc- tion of a 2,300-foot-long offshore breakwater placed to form a sandtrap in conjunction with the jetties about 1,000 feet sea- ward from the offshore ends of the jetties and normal to them. About 1,600,000 cubic yards of material, which would be dredged initially and then each biennium thereafter from the sandtrap formed by the jetties and the breakwater, are also to be de- posited to restore the downcoast shoreline as long as Federal ownership of lands and improvements necessitates such protec- tion. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean tidal range in this area is 3.7 feet; the diurnal range is 5.4 feet; and the extreme range, about 10.5 feet. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on the project as modified is $6,430,000 (including $29,500 for preauthorization studies and $1,220,000 of Navy funds but not including a cost to the Coast Guard for installation of aids to navigation). The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 362, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). A map of the modified plan is contained in "Design Memorandum No. 1, General Design for Harbor and Shore Protection Works Near Port Hueneme, California," prepared by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles, under date of May 1957. Local cooperation. Local interests are required to provide without cost to the United States all lands and rights-of-way properly cleared, access roads, and relocation of utilities neces- sary for construction and maintenance of the improvement; to provide adequate facilities for berthing, servicing, and maintain- ing small craft, open to all on equal terms; to establish a public body empowered to regulate the use and development of the harbor facilities; to acquire and hold in the public interest lands 1502 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 bordering the harbor to a width sufficient for proper utilization of the harbor; to maintain and operate all necessary harbor facili- ties except those parts of the project that are constructed by the United States; to eliminate and prohibit pollution of the bathing beaches affected; to hold and save the United States free from all damages due to the construction and maintenance of the improvement; and to make fish-cannery sites available and to encourage the construction of canneries by private interests. The authorizing act also provides that the biennial dredging and bypassing of beach material be continued at Federal expense only so long as Federal ownership or use of the lands and im- provements necessitates such protection. Ventura County Board of Supervisors supplied the required assurances by resolution dated July 24, 1956, which was accepted by the district engineer on July 31, 1956. Action taken by the Ventura County Board of Supervisors toward compliance with requirements of local cooperation is as follows: (a) developed through hired consulting engineers, a master plan that indicates phasing of harbor facilities as required and provides for future development of more harbor area as needed; (b) initiated action in acquiring some 282 lots and 2 acreage parcels; (c) relocated existing water-company wells; and (d) acquired, by gift, a 110- acre parcel, with an appraised value of $240,000. Ventura County has expended, to date, a total of $2,134,000 (including $7,000 for a master-plan report) for the requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization. No funds have been expended by private interests. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for all requirements of local cooperation is $3,880,000. Terminal facilities. No existing terminal facilities are at the site of the authorized harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year. Contract plans and specifications for dredging and revetment were prepared. A continuing contract was awarded on February 11, 1960. Dredging operations were started on June 23, 1960, and about 109,000 cubic yards were dredged from the entrance channel. Work on the detached breakwater was continued. The costs, from regular funds, were $1,921,781, comprising $1,896,327 for new work per- formed by contract and $25,454 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was started on February 25, 1959, and the entire project is about 43 percent complete. Construction of the north and south jetties was com- pleted in June 1959 and September 1959, respectively. Construc- tion of the detached breakwater is about 79 percent complete, and dredging operations are about 2 percent complete. Work remaining to be done consists of completing construction of the break-water and channel dredging. The total costs for the existing project to June 30, 1960, were as follows: RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1503 Costs Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular funds .............................. $2, 229, 170 ................... . $2, 229, 170 N avy funds ................................ 731, 446 ...................... 731,446 Total, Federal funds ................. 2, 960, 616 .................... 2, 960, 616 Other contributed funds 1.................. 2,689 . 2,689 Total, all funds ................ ...... 305...................... 2,963, 2, 963,305 1 Included in non-Federal costs of $2,136,689, comprising (1) $2,134,000 paid direct by local interests for required items of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, and (2) $2,689 for items not required.

PLAYA DEL REY INLET AND BASIN, VENICE, CALIF. Location. Playa del Rey is on Santa Monica Bay on the coast of California, 20 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 410 miles southeast of San Francisco Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 5101 and 5144.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for es- tablishment of a harbor for light-draft vessels at Playa del Rey, on the coast of southern California. Los Angeles County, the sponsor of the project, requested modification of the document plan because the county believes that the large central water area uses a larger part of the Marina site than is necessary for navi- 1504 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 gation; that the side basins have narrow entrances that will re- tard water circulation, causing fouling of water in the basins; that greater use of the area available is economically desirable owing to high cost of acquisition; that the central entrance chan- nel isolates a large section of beach between it and Ballona Creek; and that several schools and colleges in the tributary area are interested in shell racing and no straight stretch of water of the required length is provided. The modified plan, which replaces the document plan, was approved by the Chief of Engineers on June 29, 1956. This modified plan, with certain further modifications in accord- ance with the (1959) master plan of local interests, provides for protected berthing facilities for about 7,000 small craft and facilities for parking 2,500 trailer-mounted craft. The im- provement would include an entrance and main channel, 700 to 1,000 feet wide, having a combined length of about 10,000 feet and dredged to depths of 20, 15, and 10 feet below mean lower low water. From the outer ends of the jetties inland for about 5,100 feet, the project depth would be 20 feet; thence, for about 2,300 feet to a point opposite the middle of mole 2, the project depth would be 15 feet; and thence, for about 2,600 feet to the north end of the main channel, the project depth would be 10 feet. An additional 2 feet for advance maintenance is added to the 10-foot depth. The existing north Ballona Creek jetty would be extended 760 feet to function as the south jetty of the en- trance channel and as a barrier between the flood channel and entrance channel; and a new jetty about 2,000 feet long would be constructed at the north side of the entrance channel. The improvement would also include eight 600-foot-wide side basins ranging in length from about 1,200 feet to 2,400 feet, with inter- vening moles about 350 feet wide. All basins would be dredged to a depth of 10 feet, except in basins A and B, where the east ends would be dredged to 15 feet to accommodate large boats. The dredged material, amounting to about 12,500,000 cubic yards, is to be utilized for construction of the moles and for deposition on adjacent lowlands and beaches. Federal participation is limited by the authorizing act to 50 percent of the cost of the entrance jetties and of the entrance and main channel. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The mean tidal range is 3.7 feet, the diurnal range is 5.6 feet, and the extreme range is about 10.5 feet . The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on the project as modified is $2,350,000 (including $30,000 for Coast Guard costs). The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 389, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). A map of the modified plan is contained in addendum No. 1 to "Design Memorandum No. 1, General Design for Playa Del Rey Inlet and Harbor, Venice, Calif.," prepared by the U.S. Army En- gineer District, Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles, under date of November 1956. This modified plan is now further modified to conform to the 1959 master plan of local interests. RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1505 Local cooperation. Local interests are required to (a) con- tribute 50 percent of the cost of constructing the entrance jetties, dredging the entrance and main channels, and revetting the banks adjoining the entrance channel-all of which work is to be performed by the United States; (b) provide without cost to the United States all rights-of-way necessary for construction and maintenance of the improvement and supply suitable spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required; (c) secure and hold in the public interest the lands bordering on the proposed development to a width sufficient for proper functioning of the harbor; (d) remove and relocate all interfering facilities, including oil wells, and relocate and con- struct public utilities as required; (e) construct bulkheads or stone revetments on the side and end slopes of the basins and moles; (f) provide for vacating or relocating roads and high- ways; (g) clear all structures and improvements from the rights- of-way required for the proposed construction by the United States; (h) relocate the tide gates, which connect the main Venice canal with the Ballona Creek flood-control channel, from the right bank of the flood-control channel to the north bank of the entrance channel; (i) provide adequate berthing facilities and other facilities for small craft; (j) provide adequate park- ing areas, access roads, and landscaping; (k) establish a public body to regulate the use and development of all harbor facilities, which shall be open to all on equal terms; (1) dredge or bear the actual cost of dredging the side basins; (m) maintain and oper- ate the entire project except the aids-to-navigation, the entrance jetties, the stone revetments constructed by the United States, and the project depths in the entrance and main channels; (n) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the improvement; (o) agree that construction of a project as recommended shall not relieve local interests of responsibility for stabilization of the beach fill at Santa Monica (see Public Law 780, 83d Cong., 2d sess., approved Sept. 3, 1954; and H. Doc. 277, 83d Cong., 2d sess., titled "Ap- pendix II, Coast of California, Point Mugu to San Pedro Break- water, Beach Erosion Control Study"); (p) relocate that part of the Venice sewer that crosses the proposed harbor site as soon as possible, to prevent unreasonable delay in the completion of the project; and (q) adopt a precise finalized plan of alternative schematic plan No. 2. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, by resolution adopted October 30, 1956, has assured the United States that Los Angeles County will fulfill all the items of local cooperation required by law. This resolution was accepted by the district engineer and approved by the Chief of Engineers on November 7, 1957. Action taken by local interests toward compliance with requirements of local cooperation are as follows: (a) supplied all necessary rights-of-way for construction of the entire project; (b) contributed its share of the cost of constructing the jetties and of dredging; (c) removed buildings, oil wells and derricks, utilities, and other interfering facilities in sufficient time so as not to interfere with construction; and (d) continued negotiations 1506 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 for the relocation of the pressure sewerline crossing the project. To date, Los Angeles County has expended or contracted to expend $20,988,000 for the Playa del Rey project. No funds have been expended by local private interests. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for all requirements of local co- operation is $21,200,000 including required contributed funds of $2,280,000. Terminal facilities. No terminal facilities exist at the site. Operations and results during fiscal year. Approximately 2,640,000 yards of material were dredged and placed, construc- tion of revetment was started, and construction of bases for navi- gation aids was completed. Costs were $481,658 from regular funds, comprising $459,918 for new work performed by contract and $21,740 for new work performed by hired labor; $387,416 from required contributed funds for new work performed by con- tract; and $108,768 from other contributed funds, comprising $85,770 for new work performed by contract and $22,998 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the jetties, which are in good condition, was completed in November 1958; and construction of the bases for navigation aids was completed in September 1959. Work remaining consists of completing the dredging and the revetment.

LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH HARBORS, CALIF. Location. Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors are on the Pacific coast, 410 miles southeast of San Francisco Harbor and 96 miles northwest of San Diego Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5147.) Previous projects. Los Angeles Harbor. There was no proj- ect for the outer harbor prior to the existing project. Original project for the inner harbor was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by the River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, August 2, 1882, June 3, 1896, June 13, 1902, June 25, 1910, July 18, 1918, and March 3, 1925. Long Beach Harbor. There was no previous project. For further details, see page 1977 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1646 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for a stone breakwater 11,152 feet long (San Pedro breakwater) ex- tending eastward from Point Fermin; for a stone-and-earth detached breakwater 18,500 feet long (middle breakwater) ; for a stone-and-earth detached breakwater 13,350 feet long (Long Beach breakwater) ; for maintenance of the original Long Beach breakwater south of the outer end of pier A (now an integral part of pier A as extended) ; for an entrance channel 1,000 feet wide and 40 feet deep to outer Los Angeles Harbor, with a turn- ing basin 3,500 feet long and 1,500 feet wide of the same depth opposite the end of pier 1, and enlargement of the entrance to the inner harbor by dredging to a depth of 35 feet a triangular area at the junction of the inner harbor with this turning basin; for irregular anchorage areas (areas A and B) 40 feet deep adja- cent to the 40-foot-depth entrance channel; for an inner-harbor channel (Los Angeles channel) 35 feet deep and 1,000 feet wide, with a turning basin at its north extremity 35 feet deep; for a 1508 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 channel (East Basin channel) 35 feet deep and 650 feet wide ex- tending from the turning basin to slip No. 5; for a channel (Cer- ritos channel) 35 feet deep and 400 feet wide from slip No. 5 to a turning basin in Long Beach inner harbor; for a turning basin 35 feet deep in Long Beach inner harbor; for an entrance channel to Long Beach inner harbor 35 feet deep and 300 to 500 feet wide; for a settling basin at the mouth of the Los Angeles River diversion channel, the dredged material to be deposited on the beaches eastward therefrom to Belmont pier; for a silt-diversion channel (Los Angeles River) for the protection of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors; and for maintenance of the entire project except the silt-diversion channel. Dredging in East Basin was authorized as a modification of the existing project by act approved September 3, 1954. Local interests have dredged about 1,290,000 cubic yards of material from the basin by using their own funds for which they were re- imbursed by the Federal Government. Approximately 700,000 yards of material remain to be dredged by the Federal Govern- ment. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. The extreme range is about 10 feet. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work for the existing project is $31,318,000, including $954,000 for dredging in East Basin. The estimate does not include the cost of constructing 6,000 feet of the middle breakwater by the Navy Department. Except for reconnaissance and condition sur- veys, no maintenance has been accomplished since April 1946- when maintenance dredging was accomplished at a cost of about $183,200. Rehabilitation of the 12,500-foot middle-breakwater section constructed by the Corps of Engineers was accomplished in December 1947 at a cost of about $786,690. Local cooperation. Seven of the acts authorizing the project require local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of August 8, 1917, requires that local interests (a) assume responsibility for all losses and dam- age claims, (b) provide necessary rights-of-way, (c) defray the cost of accessory roads and bridges, and (d) maintain the im- provement after its completion. The River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922, requires local interests to supply assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that channel No. 3 and turning basin in Long Beach Harbor will be deepened to 30 feet without cost to the United States. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, requires that local interests take the following action: (a) cede to the United States, in lieu of that part of the military reservation at Reservation Point that will be required for widening the main entrance chan- nel, an equivalent area to the east, adjoining the present Federal holding; and (b) dredge, at local expense, a portion 200 feet in width for the proposed 30-foot channel along the eastern, northern, and western sides of West Basin. The River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, requires local RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1509 interests to give satisfactory assurances that the dredging of East Channel to a satisfactory depth will be carried out coincident with the work of the Federal Government.

The River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, requires no local cooperation except that, if local interests desire to use 1510 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 dredged material to reclaim land or to build up beaches in addi- tion to that recommended therein, the cost in excess of the cheap- est dredging and disposal methods should be borne by local interests. The River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954, requires local interests to (a) provide, without cost to the United States, all rights-of-way; (b) provide and maintain adequate public termi- nal and transfer facilities; (c) accomplish, without expense to the United States, alterations required in sewer, water-supply, drainage, and other utility facilities, as well as their maintenance; (d) dredge slip "Y" in West Basin; and (e) remove and relocate existing small-boat facilities in East Basin. All items of local cooperation required under the terms of the authorizing acts have been fully complied with. For all items of local cooperation-both required and not required-the city of Los Angeles has expended to date (1960) a total of $114,938,907, and the city of Long Beach has expended to date (1960) a total of $108,388,000, including $63,924 supplied to the Federal Govern- ment to pay the cost of non-Federal dredging required under the River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922, and $335,575 sup- plied to the Federal Government to pay the increased cost of depositing dredged material at the desired location, in accordance with the River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940. As of June 30, 1960, local private interests had expended a total of $36,517,309 in Los Angeles Harbor and $103 million in Long Beach Harbor for harbor improvements. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for all items of local cooperation required under the authorizing acts is $100,000. Terminal facilities. In Los Angeles Harbor, there are 74,857 linear feet of wharves, of which 67,196 linear feet are owned by the city and 7,661 linear feet are owned by private interests. In addition to the above, the city has 3,139 linear feet of wharves under contract. In Long Beach Harbor, there are 56,180 linear feet of wharves and bulkheads. The city owns 32,613 linear feet (26,627 linear feet developed and 5,986 linear feet under development). Private interests own 5,217 linear feet of developed wharves and bulkheads and 2,880 not suitable for berthing. The Federal Government owns 15,470 linear feet of developed wharves and bulkheads. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of completing the preauthorization studies for the West Basin modification of the project at a cost of $22,000. Condition at end of fiscal year.

SAN DIEGO RIVER AND MISSION BAY, CALIF. Location. The San Diego River has its source on the tableland in the Cuyamaca Mountains near Santa Ysabel, Calif., and flows southwestward 52 miles to the Pacific Ocean at the city of San Diego. Mission Bay Harbor is adjacent to the outlet of the San Diego River, 77 miles southeast of Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors and 8 miles north of San Diego Harbor. Existing project. The plan of improvement, as modified by a March 1958 addendum to the definite project report, provides for a leveed flood channel 800 feet wide with a capacity of 115,000 cubic feet per second, from 0.4 mile above Morena Boulevard, 3.3 miles directly to the ocean; the alteration of a railroad bridge over the leveed river flood channel; the dredging of an entrance channel 20 feet deep into Mission Bay, and in the bay a main channel and turning basin about 3,500 feet long and 1,000 feet wide, and 2 anchorage basins, one about 3,000 feet long, 600 feet wide, and 15 feet deep, and the other about 1,600 feet long, ranging from about 800 to 1,800 feet wide, and 20 feet deep; and the construction of 3 jetties at the entrance, and stone revet- ment for the banks of the entrance and main channels and turn- ing basin. The plane of reference is mean lower low water. The diurnal range is 4.4 feet. The extreme range is 9.5 feet. The latest (1958) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work is $10,100,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 760, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) This project modifies the flood-control project: "San Diego River Basin, Calif." (See H. Doc. 635, 77th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests are required to provide the necessary bulkheading and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands and rights-of-way, including spoil- disposal areas necessary for construction of the improvements; (b) make all necessary alterations to highway bridges, utilities, and side-drainage structures; (c) purchase and hold in the public interest those lands between the flood-control channel and Mission Bay that are west of U.S. No. 101; (d) prepare project plans and construction schedules for the improvement of the bay area for park purposes, those plans and schedules to be subject to ap- proval by the Secretary of the Army; (e) complete the improve- ments of the 8-foot dredging and the park development within 5 years after completion of the project; (f) provide adequate facilities for storage, maintenance, and supply of small craft; (g) maintain and operate the entire project, except maintenance RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1513 of the jetties, the stone revetment constructed by the United States, and the project depths in areas dredged by the United States; (h) protect the carrying capacity of the flood-control channel from future encroachments or obstructions; and (i) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the con- struction work. The city of San Diego has furnished all required assurances by resolution that was approved by the Secretary of the Army on February 11, 1948. Actions taken by local interests toward com- pliance with requirements of local cooperation are as follows: (a) furnished rights-of-way and made necessary utility reloca- tions, as required, prior to advertising construction work; (b) completed a temporary bridge over the harbor for Ventura Boule- vard; (c) completed 3 highway bridges; (d) dredged more than 8,100,000 cubic yards of material; (e) improved and created with dredged fill many of the recreational areas now in use; and (f) leased portions of the upper bay and the east anchorage (Quivera Basin). Local interests have expended over $10,996,198 (of which $3,011,450 were reimbursed by the State of California) in developing their share of the project. The city of San Diego has recently awarded a contract for all of the upper bay dredg- ing. Local private interests have expended in excess of $1,779,000 to provide motels, restaurants, sport-fishing facilities, and other boat facilities. Terminal facilities. None, with the exception of mooring facil- ities for recreational craft only. Operations and results during fiscal year. Sealing of the north and middle jetties was completed. The costs, from regular funds, were $44,539, comprising $41,146 for new work performed by contract and $3,393 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project as a whole is approximately 100 percent complete. The project plan for the entire project has been completed. Construction of the down- coast and middle jetties by contract was completed in November 1949. Construction of the north jetty by contract was completed in September 1950. Relocation of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bridge by contract was completed in February 1951. Construction of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway bridge approaches by contract was completed in April 1951. Construc- tion of the flood channel was completed as follows: unit No. 1 in August 1951 and unit No. 2 in July 1952. Construction of foun- dations for two navigation-light towers near the ends of the mid- dle and north jetties was completed in April 1952. Construction of stone-revetment bank protection along the east shore of the main channel was completed in June 1952. Sealing of the north jetty and construction of the north and south revetment were commenced in March 1955 and completed in May 1955. Dredging of the entrance channel to a depth of 20 feet and a width of 670 feet was commenced in December 1954 and completed in July 1955. Dredging of about two-thirds of the main channel and east anchorage (Quivera Basin) to a depth of 20 feet was commenced in July 1957 and completed in December 1957. Dredging the 1514 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 remainder of the main channel and the west anchorage (Glen Rick Bay) and construction of revetment on main channel side slopes was started in July 1958 and completed in January 1959. The sealing of the north and middle jetties, which was started in May 1959, was completed in September 1959. Local interests have complained of unreasonable surge in the east anchorage (Quivera Basin) during heavy seas outside. The project is being held open pending an investigation to determine whether the alleged conditions constitute a real deficiency. A model study has been requested.

SANTA MARIA VALLEY LEVEES, SANTA MARIA RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location. Santa Maria Valley levees would be located along the Santa Maria River and Bradley Canyon in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, Calif., about 60 miles northwest of the city of Santa Barbara. The improvements along the Santa Maria River would extend for about 21.9 miles from Fugler Point (at the junction of the Cuyama and Sisquoc Rivers) to the Pacific Ocean. The improvements along Bradley Canyon would extend from the canyon mouth to the Santa Maria River. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for levee and channel improvements along the Santa Maria River and along Bradley Canyon. The principal features of that plan include: (a) Constructing about 17 miles of revetted levee along the left bank of the Santa Maria River from Fugler Point to State High- way No. 1 bridge at Guadalupe, about 5 miles of revetted levee along the right bank of the Santa Maria River from a point about 11/4 miles downstream from U.S. Highway No. 101 to a point about 11/2 miles upstream from the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, and about 1.8 miles of channel and revetted levee from the mouth of Bradley Canyon to the Santa Maria River; (b) clear- ing about 21.9 miles of channel along the Santa Maria River from Fugler Point to the Pacific Ocean; and (c) raising the existing Southern Pacific Railroad bridge. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $5,400,000. The improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954. The levees would be a part of a compre- hensive improvement, including the multiple-purpose Twitchell Reservoir that was completed in 1958 on the Cuyama River by the Bureau of Reclammation. (See H. Doc. 400, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Responsible local interests are required to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction work; (c) pay for all necessary railroad, high- way, and utility relocations except for railroad bridges and ap- proaches; (d) maintain and operate all the works after comple- tion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (e) agree to adjust all water-rights claims result- ing from operation of the improvements; and (f) keep the flood channel below Twitchell Dam free from encroachment. Local interests were notified of the required conditions on March 1, 1957. The Board of Supervisors of Santa Barbara County, by Resolution 16597, adopted March 25, 1957, supplied assurances that the required conditions would be met. Rights- of-way have been acquired for all work on parts 1 and 2 and will be acquired for part 3 in advance of construction. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for all requirements of local cooperation is $1,440,000. FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1517 Santa Barbara County has expended, to date, a total of about $662,500 for the requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization. No funds have been expended by local private interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of part 1 (Santa Maria River levee and channel improvement from Fugler Point to a point downstream from Bradley Canyon and Bradley Canyon levee and channel improvement from State Highway 148B to the Santa Maria River) was completed. Contract plans and specifications for part 2 (51/2 miles of levee and channel improvement along Santa Maria River downstream from part 1) were completed, and construction of part 2 was initiated under a continuing contract. Preparation of contract plans for the rest of the project was continued. Preparation of the operation and maintenance manual was initiated The costs, all from regular funds, were $1,138,957, comprising $1,064,317 for new work per- formed by contract and $74,640 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of part 1 was initiated in June 1959 and completed in January 1960. Con- struction of part 2 was initiated in April 1960. Construction of the entire project is about 38 percent complete, and preparation of the operation and maintenance manual is about 70 percent com- plete. Work remaining consists of completion of contract plans and specifications and construction of levees along parts 3 and 2b of the Santa Maria River and along part 3 of upper Bradley Can- yon; channel clearing; and completion of the operation and maintenance manual.

The active unit, which is described here, would be an improvement for the pro- tection of the Oxnard Plain, the city of Oxnard, and an impor- tant naval base at Port Hueneme by: (a) The construction of a paved levee along the left side of the Santa Clara River from the west end of South Mountain to U.S. Highway No. 101 bridge, a distance of approximately 4.7 miles, (b) bank protection down- stream from the highway bridge to the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge, (c) protection of railroad-bridge piers, and (d) channel clearing and rectification. The latest (1960) estimate of Fed- eral first cost is $2,140,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 443, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Perti- nent information on the inactive unit is given in a subsequent tabulation "Other Authorized Flood-Control Projects." Local cooperation. Local interests are required to furnish all necessary rights-of-way, assume responsibility for all damage claims, pay the cost of necessary relocations of utilities, and maintain the improvements after completion. Local interests were notified of the required conditions on April 19, 1957. The Board of Supervisors of Ventura County, by Resolution FC-2002, adopted March 11, 1958, supplied assur- ances that the required conditions would be met. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for all requirements of local cooperation is $920,000. Ventura County has expended, to date, a total of about $914,000 for the requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization. No funds have been expended by local private interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. Relocation of the railroad bridge was completed, construction of the levee was continued under a continuing contract, and preparation of the operation and maintenance manual was continued. The costs, FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1519 all from regular funds, were $1,441,707, comprising $1,419,136 for new work performed by contract and $22,571 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of levee, which was initiated in June 1959, is about 83 percent complete. The rail- road-bridge relocation, which was initiated in June 1959, was completed in June 1960. Preparation of the operation and main- tenance manual is about 10 percent complete. Work remaining consists of completion of the levee and completion of the opera- tion and maintenance manual.

LOS ANGELES RIVER BASIN Existing project. For the Los Angeles River Basin, the plan (as amended by pertinent data in approved general design memo- randums and in as-constructed drawings) provides for the Sepul- veda, Hansen, and Lopez flood-control reservoirs; debris basins at the mouths of 15 tributary canyons; improvement of 47.9 miles of main channel and 53.2 miles of tributary channels; and recon- struction of more than 100 bridges. In general, standard proj- ect floods are used as channel-design floods and reservoir-design FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1523 floods. Those units of improvement in the Los Angeles River basin that are completed, under construction, or in the planning stage are described in following paragraphs. Pertinent infor- mation on authorizing acts for the existing project in the Los Angeles River basin as well as in other stream basins is given under a subsequent heading, "Authorizing Acts." a. Blanchard Canyon. The plan of improvement provides for a debris basin at the mouth of the canyon and an open, rectangular concrete channel to Verdugo Wash (a distance of 0.73 mile). b. Burbank-Eastern system. The plan of improvement provides for four debris basins and 5.97 miles of rectangular concrete channel. The debris basins are in Sunset Canyon, Elmwood chan- nel, Childs Canyon, and Hillcrest Canyon. The plan of improve- ment provides for utilizing an existing debris basin in Brand Canyon. Each of the debris basins is to be connected by tributary channels to the main channel of the Burbank-Eastern system, which extends to the Los Angeles River near Flower Street in the city of Glendale. Because most of the alinement is restricted to existing streets, practically all of the channel is covered. c. Burbank-Western system (lower). This unit is on Burbank Wash. The plan of improvement provides for a rectangular reinforced-concrete channel and appurtenant structures extend- ing a distance of approximately 1.6 miles from Burbank Boule- vard to the inlet channel, which extends 0.7 mile to the Los Angeles River above Victory Boulevard. The channel is de- signed to provide adequate protection from erosion and overflow damage by uncontrolled floodwater of the Burbank-Western sys- tem for the residential and industrial properties in or adjacent to the valley area between Burbank Boulevard and the Los Angeles River. d. Burbank-Western system (upper). This unit is on Bur- bank Wash. The plan of improvement provides for a debris basin in La Tuna Canyon; a reinforced-concrete channel extend- ing downstream from the La Tuna Canyon debris basin to a junc- tion with the Burbank-Western system (lower) ; the enlargement of the existing debris basin in Stough Canyon; and a reinforced- concrete channel, partly open and partly closed, from the Stough Canyon debris basin to the Burbank-Western channel. e. Caballero Creek. This unit provides for an open, rectangu- lar reinforced-concrete channel extending a distance of approxi- mately 2.6 miles from the Santa Monica Mountains to a point on the Los Angeles River upstream from Lindley Avenue in the San Fernando Valley. f. Compton Creek. This unit comprises two reaches: (1) Los Angeles River to Hooper Avenue storm drain and (2) Hooper Avenue storm drain to Main Street. The plan of improvement for the downstream part (Los An- geles River to Hooper Avenue storm drain) provides for 3.5 miles of rectangular reinforced-concrete channel from a point upstream from the mouth of Hooper Avenue storm drain to a point downstream from Greenleaf Avenue in the city of Compton, 0.5 mile of rock-paved trapezoidal channel downstream from 1524 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Greenleaf Avenue, and 2.3 miles of improvement completed be- tween Alameda Street and the Los Angeles River under the pre- vious project. This part provides protection for a large part of the southern part of the city of Los Angeles and for the low- lying area in and around the city of Compton. The plan of improvement for the upstream part (Hooper Ave- nue storm drain to Main Street) provides for an open, rectangu- lar, concrete channel from Main Street to the upper end of the concrete channel at the Hooper Avenue storm drain (a distance of 2.1 miles). g. Haines Canyon. This unit includes a rectangular rein- forced-concrete channel from Plainview Avenue to the mouth of Haines Canyon (a distance of 1.8 miles), thus completing a channel 3.6 miles long from Tujunga Wash to the existing debris basin, which was reconstructed by construction of a reinforced- concrete spillway and outlet structure, enlargement of the earth- fill embankment, and excavation in the basin. Construction of the channel between Tujunga Wash and Plainview Avenue was initiated under the previous project. The project intercepts the runoff from 7 square miles of mountainous terrain and protects the cities of Tujunga and Sunland. h. Hansen flood-control reservoir. This unit is on Tujunga Wash approximately 9.4 miles above its junction with the Los Angeles River. The unit includes a rolled-earthfill dam with a length of 10,475 feet, a maximum height of 97 feet above stream- bed, and a flood-control reservoir with a capacity of about 32,000 acre-feet (Nov. 1945) at spillway crest (excluding 1,500 acre- feet of dead storage space) ; an uncontrolled spillway 284 feet in length, located near the center of the dam where bedrock is available; and outlet works through the dam near the center of the structure. The operation of the reservoir regulates the run- off from a tributary area of 147 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 53,000 to 21,400 cubic feet per second. i. Lopez Canyon diversion. This unit comprises an open rec- tangular reinforced-concrete channel 1.8 miles long from a point near the confluence of Indian and Lopez Canyons to Hansen flood-control reservoir in Tujunga Wash. j. Lopez flood-control reservoir. This unit is on Pacoima Wash approximately 6 miles above its confluence with Tujunga Wash. The improvement serves principally as a debris basin. The plans provide for a rolled-earthfill dam with a length of about 1,300 feet, a maximum height of about 50 feet above streambed, and a debris-control and flood-control reservoir with a capacity of 305 acre-feet at spillway crest (Nov. 1954). The drainage area above the damsite is 34 square miles. The partly regulated and desilted outflows will discharge into the Pacoima Wash channel. k. Los Angeles River channel, Owensmouth Avenue to Lanker- shim Boulevard. This unit includes a reinforced-concrete chan- nel from Owensmouth Avenue to the upper end of Sepulveda Reservoir (5.5 miles) and from Sepulveda Dam to Lankershim Boulevard (7.1 miles). 1. Los Angeles River channel, Lankershim Boulevard to Stewart FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1525 and Gray Road. This unit comprises an upstream reach and a downstream reach. The plan of improvement for the upstream reach (Lankershim Boulevard to Niagara Street) is a rectangular concrete channel 1.7 miles in length. The plan of improvement for the downstream reach (Niagara Street to Stewart and Gray Road) provides for channel im- provements, as follows: A rectangular concrete channel from Niagara Street to Burbank-Western Wash (1.7 miles); a trape- zoidal channel with concrete slab or grouted-rock protection from Burbank-Western Wash to a point about 1,400 feet above Dayton Avenue (7.5 miles); a channel with concrete invert and either sloping concrete sidewalls or vertical sheet steel-pile or concrete retaining walls, depending on rights-of-way available and the proximity of main-line railroads on each bank, from a point about 1,400 feet above Dayton Avenue to Soto Street (5.4 miles) ; and a trapezoidal channel with concrete slab or grouted-rock bank protection from Soto Street to Stewart and Gray Road (6.2 miles). Additional work consists of repairs to invert at Spring, Main, and Alhambra Streets; and of paving of soft-bottom chan- nels from Victory Boulevard to Dayton Avenue and from Soto Street to Stewart and Gray Road. m. Los Angeles River channel, Stewart and Gray Road to Santa Ana Branch, Pacific Electric Railway bridge. This unit includes levees with grouted-cobblestone bank protection and concrete- paved invert (a distance of 2.4 miles). The unit provides protec- tion for the low-lying areas of Los Angeles, South Gate, and Lynwood. n. Los Angeles River channel, Santa Ana Branch, Pacific Elec- tric Railway bridge to Pacific Ocean. This unit includes a trap- ezoidal channel from the Santa Ana Branch, Pacific Electric Rail- way bridge to Pacific Ocean (a distance of 10.4 miles), with a paved invert upstream from Willow Street and a soft-bottom invert downstream from Willow Street. o. Los Angeles River channel, Long Beach Boulevard. The improvement for this part of the unit from Santa Ana Branch, Pacific Electric Railway bridge to Pacific Ocean, provides channel rectification of the Los Angeles River at Long Beach Boulevard for a distance of about 0.4 mile, by the removal of about 154,000 cubic yards of material. The improvement removed a constric- tion in the river channel upstream from the city of Long Beach. p. Pacoima Wash channel. This unit includes the following channel improvements extending from Lopez flood-control reser- voir to the confluence with Tujunga Wash channel: 5.9 miles of trapezoidal channel with reinforced-concrete invert and grouted- cobblestone slopes and 0.6 miles of rectangular reinforced-concrete channel. q. Sepulveda flood-control reservoir. This unit is on the upper Los Angeles River, approximately 43.1 miles above the mouth. The unit includes a rolled-earthfill dam with a length of 15,443 feet, a maximum height of 57 feet above streambed, and a flood- control reservoir with a capacity of 17,440 acre-feet (Nov. 1944) 1526 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 at the top of the spillway-crest gates in the raised position; a spillway 399 feet in length, near the center of the dam; and outlet works through the dam near the center of the structure. The operation of the reservoir regulates the runoff from a tributary area of 152 square miles, reducing the flow of a design flood from 42,500 to 16,500 cubic feet per second. r. Sycamore Wash. This unit, which consists of 0.07 mile of mostly covered reinforced-concrete conduit at the junction of Sycamore Wash with the Los Angeles River between San Fer- nando Road and the Southern Pacific railroad, provides an outlet for the existing improved channel through the city of Glendale. That channel, including 0.6 mile of improved channel completed under emergency relief projects, will receive the runoff from an area of 7.7 square miles in the southern part of the city of Glen- dale. Local interests contemplate construction of a relief bypass channel, when required by future development. s. Tujunga Wash channel. This unit is an open rectangular concrete channel extending from the existing structure at Hansen flood-control reservoir to the Los Angeles River (a distance of 9.3 miles). The unit provides flood protection for residential areas in the San Fernando Valley. t. Verdugo Wash, Concord Street to upper Canada Bridge. This unit (of which only 1.2 miles were constructed under the existing project) includes the following improvements along Verdugo Wash: 4.4 miles of reinforced-concrete channel connect- ing existing improved channels at both ends of the wash between Concord Street and upper Canada Boulevard Bridge, in the city of Glendale. The unit, including a debris basin and improved chan- nel completed in part under emergency relief projects and in part by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, provides protection for the city of Glendale. u. Verdugo Wash, upper Canada bridge to debris basin. The plan of improvement provides for (1) enlargement of an existing debris basin, which is at a point where the wash turns south through the pass between the Verdugo Mountains and the San Rafael Hills; and (2) reconstruction of the channel from the debris basin downstream to the reconstructed channel at the upper Canada Boulevard bridge (a distance of 0.87 mile). v. Wilson Canyon and Mansfield Street channel. This unit in- cludes: (1) debris basins at the mouths of two canyons at the west end of the San Gabriel Mountains; (2) a covered rectangu- lar reinforced-concrete channel, extending for 3.2 miles under Mansfield Street (Eighth Street in San Fernando) from the basin at the head of Mansfield Street to the Pacoima Wash channel; and (3) an open rectangular reinforced-concrete channel extend- ing for 1.4 miles from the basin at the mouth of Wilson Canyon to a point midway of the Mansfield Street channel.

The plan of improvement for San Jose Wash provides for an open rectangular concrete channel from the lower end of the proposed channel on Thompson Creek downstream to a point about 2,000 feet above the mouth of San Jose Creek (a distance of 5.07 miles). h. Walnut Creek system. This unit includes (1) two debris basins in the foothills at the upstream end of Big Dalton Wash; 1534 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 (2) channel improvements along Walnut Creek upstream from its confluence with Big Dalton Wash, a distance of 6.9 miles; (3) channel improvements on Big Dalton Wash, a distance of 11.0 miles from its confluence with Walnut Creek to the debris basins, together with a diversion channel 0.5 mile long from Little Dalton Canyon; (4) channel improvements on Little Dalton Wash, up- stream from its confluence with Big Dalton Wash, a distance of 6.1 miles; and (5) channel improvements on San Dimas Wash, a distance of 7.5 miles from its confluence with Big Dalton Wash to the existing Puddingstone diversion dam in San Dimas Canyon. The system will carry flows from the channel-design flood safely through an area rapidly developing for residential, commercial, and industrial uses. i. Walnut Creek inlet channel. This unit includes improve- ment of the channel of Walnut Creek from its confluence with Big Dalton Wash downstream to its confluence with the San Gabriel River at a point upstream from the Southern Pacific Railway bridge, a distance of 2.2 miles. The plan of improvement provides for 1 mile of open rectangular reinforced-concrete chan- nel including a confluence structure; 0.2 mile of grouted-stone trapezoidal section; 0.9 mile of trapezoidal channel with an un- paved invert and dumped-stone protection on side slopes; and 0.1 mile of left-bank levee improvement. This unit will confine flows of the channel-design flood delivered to it from the up- stream tributaries and will collect side-drainage and storm-drain flows in order to protect a rapidly developing residential, com- mercial, and industrial area. j. Whittier Narrows flood-control reservoir. This unit is on the main channels of the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River 10 miles east of the city of Los Angeles and between 3 and 4 miles downstream from the city of El Monte, Calif. The improvement is a rolled-earthfill dam with gated flood- control outlets discharging into the Rio Hondo channel and gated spillway outlets discharging into the San Gabriel River channel. The capacity of the flood-control reservoir is 36,160 acre-feet (Mar. 1957) at top of spillway gates closed. The operation of the reservoir will regulate the runoff from a tributary area of 554 square miles, including 236 square miles from which runoff is now controlled at Santa Fe flood-control reservoir, reducing the flow of the design flood from 70,000 to 40,300 cubic feet per second.

SAN ANTONIO DAM, SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN (AND ORANGE COUNTY), CALIF. Location. San Antonio Dam is on San Antonio Creek in San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties, Calif., approximately 7.5 miles north of Pomona, Calif. Existing project. This unit is a part of the improvements under the general plan for protection of the metropolitan areas in the Santa Ana River Basin and Orange County. The plan provides for improvements at the mouth of the San Antonio Canyon, as follows: an earthfill dam with a crest elevation of 2,260 feet, a height of 160 feet above streambed, and a crest length of 3,850 feet; and a flood-control reservoir with a capacity of 9,285 acre- feet (August 1956) at spillway crest. The operation of the reser- voir regulates the runoff from a tributary area of 26.7 square miles, reducing the flow of the design flood from 19,000 to 8,500 cubic feet per second. The latest (1955) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work is $7,325,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $17,846. (The dam was dedicated in May 1956.) The improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 28, 1938. (See H. Doc. 688, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consist- ed of completing minor items and acquisition of rights-of-way, maintaining the dam in good operating condition, admin- istering real estate, and completing operation and maintenance manual. One minor storm on April 28, 1960, produced a maximum stor- age of 9 acre-feet, or less than 1 percent of gross storage capacity at spillway crest. The costs, from regular funds, were $94,682, comprising $67,792 for new work (minor completion items) performed by contract, $4,547 for new work (minor completion items) per- formed by hired labor, and $22,343 for maintenance performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Except for minor completion items completed in fiscal year 1960, the dam was completed in October 1956. The operation and maintenance manual and the reservoir regulation manual have been completed. Work remain- ing to be done consists of completing the master-planning report. 1552 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The site of the San Antonio and Chino Creeks channel improvement is in San Bernardino and Los Angeles Counties, Calif., about 30 miles east of the city of Los Angeles. The channel, with its source in the San Gabriel Mountains, would extend from San Antonio Dam about 16 miles to the existing Prado Reservoir on the Santa Ana River. Existing project. This unit is a part of the improvements under the general plan for protection of the metropolitan areas in the Santa Ana River basin and Orange County. The plan provides for improvements along San Antonio Creek, as follows: a concrete-lined, rectangular section with a length of about 10.5 miles, ranging in width from 20 to 30 feet; a trapezoidal section with a length of about 5.2 miles, ranging in width from 60 to 336 feet; 29 highway bridges; 4 railroad bridges; and 1 com- bination highway and railroad bridge. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $10,900,000. Maintenance of the completed parts of the project was started in 1959. The average annual Federal maintenance cost during the past 2 years was $1,777. The improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. (See H. Doc. 688, 75th Cong., 3d sess.)

Riverside County, the legally responsible agency, indi- cated its willingness to meet the local cooperation requirements and, through the California Department of Water Resources (Mar. 7, 1958), expressed its desire to proceed with the project. 1564 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for all requirements of local cooperation is $490,000. Riverside County has expended to date a total of $324,700 for required items of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations con- sisted of completing the project plan for Bautista Creek and continuing preparation of the project plan for the San Jacinto River. Contract plans and specifications for Bautista Creek were prepared, and construction was initiated in June 1960. The costs, from regular funds, were $196,031, comprising $83,070 for new work performed by contract and $112,961 for new work per- formed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project plan for Bautista Creek is complete. The project plan for the San Jacinto River is about 80 percent complete. Construction of the Bautista Creek channel upstream from California State Highway 74 is 4 percent complete.

SAN DIEGO RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location. The site of the improvement is on the San Diego River at San Diego, Calif. Existing project. The plan of improvement, which was au- thorized by the Flood Control Act approved December 22, 1944 (see H. Doc. 635, 77th Cong., 2d sess.), was modified by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 760, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) Prior to modification, the plan of improvement provided for the construction of a suitable levee system as a replacement of the existing Government dike across the old channel of the river, at the city of San Diego. The levee system, which would incorporate the existing dike to the extent found practicable at the time of construction, would comprise a main levee extending eastward for about 6,700 feet from Presidio Hill in Old Town and a cutoff levee extending about 900 feet southward from a point near the west end of the main levee. The latest (1949) approved esti- mated cost is $350,000 for construction and $20,000 for lands and damages. For a description of the project as modified, see navigation project entitled "San Diego River and Mission Bay, Calif." Local cooperation. Local cooperation shown in navigation project entitled "San Diego River and Mission Bay, Calif." applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.

ALAMO RESERVOIR, BILL WILLIAMS RIVER, ARIZ. Location. The site of the improvement is approximately 70 miles southeast of Kingman, Ariz., in a narrow gorge at river mile 38 on the Bill Williams River, Ariz., a tributary of the Colorado River. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction at the Alamo site on the Bill Williams River, Ariz., of a flood-control dam and reservoir which can later be modified to meet the requirements of flood control, water conservation, and power development. 1566 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $11,300,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 625, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests are required to assume responsibility for all damage claims, and adjust all claims con- cerning water rights arising from the improvement. The Gover- nor of Arizona has submitted a letter dated March 12, 1941, indicating his willingness to arrange for the assumption by the State of the responsibilities of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work on the project plan was continued. The costs, from regular funds, were $29,374 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project plan is partly com- plete. Work remaining consists of completion of project plan; preparation of contract plans and specifications; construction of the project; and preparation of the operation and maintenance manual, the reservoir-regulation manual, and the master-planning report.

MIDDLE GILA RIVER CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT, UPPER SAFFORD VALLEY TO BUTTES RESERVOIR SITE, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. The middle Gila River channel improvements would extend along approximately 94 miles of the middle Gila River FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1567 from the upper end of the Safford Valley (river mile 435) to the San Carlos Reservoir (river mile 357) and from the mouth of the San Pedro River (river mile 319) to the Buttes Reservoir site (river mile 303). Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for a cleared floodway extending for about 94 miles along the middle Gila River. The floodway would be created by clearing phreato- phytic growth by mechanical means from an area of about 14,300 acres with a maximum width of about 5,000 feet and an average width of about 2,500 feet. The improvement would provide par- tial protection from floods to areas in the Safford Valley and, because of the removal of phreatophytic growth, would result in a net increase of 19,800 acre-feet of water available annually for agriculture. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $1,700,000. The improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958 (see S. Doc. 5, 86th Cong., 1st sess.), as one of the improvements under a comprehensive plan for development of the Gila River, subject to further detailed study and specific authorization. Local cooperation. Responsible local interests are required tc 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; (b) hold and save the United Stated free from damages due to the construction work; (c) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (d) keep the cleared floodway free from encroachment. In consideration of benefits in connection with the study of any upstream reservoir under the comprehensive plan, the exist- ing project (channel improvements) and the upstream reservoir shall be considered as a single operating unit in the economic evaluation. As a result, in the event it is possible as determined by the Secretary of the Interior to identify the organizations directly benefiting from the water conserved by these works and to feasibly determine the extent of such benefit to each organ- ization, the Secretary of the Interior shall enter into contracts with such organizations for the repayment of that part of the cost of the work that is properly allocated to such organizations: Pro- vided, that such repayment shall be under terms and conditions satisfactory to the Secretary of the Interior and shall be in in- stallments fixed in accordance with the ability of those organiza- tions to pay as determined by the Secretary of the Interior in the light of outstanding repayments and other obligations. The Bureau of Reclamation, Region 3, Boulder City, Nev., has completed the "Report on Water Salvage and Water Conservation Benefits from Channel Improvement, Gila River, Camelsback Reservoir Site to Salt River, Arizona," dated December 1959, which has been formally transmitted by the Secretary of the Interior to the Secretary of the Army. This report contains the 1568 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 following conclusions: (1) That because of the many complex- ities involved, for all practical purposes it will not be possible to accurately identify the individual organizations directly benefiting from the water salvaged by the channel improvement program to determine the amount of water received or the benefits result- ing from the use of the salvaged water; and (2) that, under the circumstances involved, it is not possible to make an equitable allocation of costs among the organizations as a basis for entering into repayment contracts. Therefore, repayment for water salvaged is not a prerequisite of local cooperation at this time. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for all requirements of local cooperation (excepting repayment as described in the preceding paragraph) is $275,000. Local interests, the Board of Supervisors of Pinal and Graham Counties, were notified, by letters dated April 29, 1960, of the requirements of local cooperation and requested to furnish resolutions of assurance covering those requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preparation of the project plan was continued. The regional director of region 3, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, completed a study to determine beneficiaries of water conservation, as required by the authorizing act. The costs, from regular funds, were $62,886 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project plan is about 18 percent complete. Work remaining consists of completion of the project plan, preparation of contract plans and specifications, construction of the project, and preparation of the operation and maintenance manual. The total costs for the existing project to June 30, 1960, were: Costs Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular funds............................. $145,683 ..................... $145,683 Total, Federal funds................. . 145, 683..................... 145,683 Other funds.................................................................

TUCSON DIVERSION CHANNEL, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. The site of the Tucson diversion channel is in Pima County in the drainage areas of Tucson Arroyo and Julian Wash, tributaries of the Santa Cruz River near Tucson, Ariz. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for pro- tection for the city of Tucson, Ariz., and suburban areas by diverting runoff from the upstream part of the Tucson Arroyo drainage area to an adjacent drainage area, and thence to the Santa Cruz River. After the project was authorized, local in- terests developed a plan of improvement differing substantially from the project-document plan and constructed a major part of the improvement under their plain. Subsequently, local in- terests requested a modification of the project-document plan to provide more flood control than would be available under the plan developed by local interests. The general provisions of the modified plan, which replaces the document plan, were approved by the Chief of Engineers on September 2, 1958. The modified plan provides for (a) increasing the capacity of the diversion-channel project under construction by Pima County to accommodate the standard-project-flood discharge; and (b) conveying the floodflow to the Santa Cruz River by means of an improved channel along Julian Wash. Work under the modified plan would involve (a) completing the diversion chan- nel between Tucson Arroyo and the Southern Pacific Railroad and enlarging that channel at Tucson Arroyo; (b) enlarging the ex- isting diversion channel between the Southern Pacific Railroad and the detention basin; (c) completing the excavation of the detention basin and increasing the discharge capacity; (d) in- creasing the capacity of the diversion channel between the de- tention basin and Julian Wash; (e) constructing an improved channel along Julian Wash; (f) reconstructing or modifying eight highway bridges and two railroad bridges; and (g) con- structing five new highway bridges. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $4,740,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 274, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests are required to (a) pro- vide free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project; (b) pay for relocation of utilities and construct necessary highway bridges, dips, and relocations; (c) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and opera- tion of the works; and (d) maintain and operate the improve- ments after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The Board of Supervisors of Pima County, Ariz., by resolution dated April 8, 1958, has agreed to participate in a flood-control project and to assume the cost of the required items of local cooperation. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for all requirements of local cooperation under the modified plan 1570 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 is $2,623,000, including $1,380,000 already spent for lands and damages and relocations. Operations and results during fiscal year. No operations were performed during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. The modified project plan has been initiated. Work remaining consists of completion of the modified project plan, preparation of contract plans and spec- ifications, construction of the project, and preparation of the operation and maintenance manual.

PAINTED ROCK RESERVOIR, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. Painted Rock Reservoir is on the Gila River, mile 126, about 20 miles downstream from Gila Bend, Ariz., in the Gila River Basin, which is a part of the Colorado River Basin. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for (a) a rolled-earthfill dam with a maximum height of 181 feet above streambed, a crest length of 4,796 feet, and a detached broad- crested spillway with a crest length of 610 feet; and (b) a flood- control reservoir with a gross capacity of 2,491,700 acre-feet (March 1953) at spillway crest, including 200,000 acre-feet for sediment. The operation of the reservoir regulates the runoff from a tributary area of 50,800 square miles, reducing the flow of the standard project flood of 300,000 cubic feet per second to a maximum outflow of 22,500 cubic feet per second. FLOOD CONTROL - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1571 The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $18,396,000. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 331, 81st Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests are required to adjust all water-rights claims that might result from the improvement and to keep the flood channel of the Gila River downstream from the Painted Rock site free from encroachment. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of the dam was completed. Acquisition of the rights-of-way and prep- aration of the operation and maintenance manual and the reservoir-regulation manual were continued. Preparation of the master-planning report was initiated. The costs, from regular funds, were $3,081,045, comprising $2,927,325 for new work performed by contract and $153,720 for new work performed by hired labor. Maximum inflow into the reservoir was 780 cubic feet per second on January 19, 1960, and the maximum outflow was 175 on January 20, 1960. The maximum water in storage was less than 1 percent of gross storage at spillway crest. 'Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the dam and appurtenances was completed in December 1959.

Local interests are required to furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will adjust all water-rights claims arising from the improvements and will hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages arising from construction and operation of the works. Under date of March 3, 1958, the Board of Supervisors of Pinal County passed a resolution to furnish the assurances required by the authorizing act and, in addition, to maintain the downstream flood channel free from manmade encroachments. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was continued under a continuing contract. Preparation of the opera- tion and maintenance manual was continued, and acquisition of rights-of-way was continued. The master-planning report and the reservoir-regulation manual were initiated. The costs, from regular funds, were $1,294,444, comprising $1,263,732 for new work performed by contract and $30,712 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction, which was started in May 1959, is 91 percent complete; work on the operation and maintenance manual is 50 percent complete; and work on the master-planning report is 35 percent complete. Work remaining consists of completing the acquisition of rights-of-way, the operation and maintenance manual, the master-planning report, the reservoir-regulation manual, and the construction of the project.

SCHEDULING OF FLOOD-CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Section 7 of Flood Control Act of 1944 reads as follows: "Here- after, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War to prescribe regulations for the use of storage allocated for flood control or navigation at all reservoirs constructed wholly or in part with Federal funds provided on the basis of such purposes, and the operation of any such project shall be in accordance with such regulations: * * *" In accordance with the above-mentioned authority, the prep- aration of schedule of flood-control operations manuals was con- tinued during the fiscal year for Hoover Dam and Twitchell Dam. The costs, from regular maintenance funds for hired labor, were $497 for Hoover Dam and $1,496 for Twitchell Dam. 36. ANAHEIM BAY HARBOR, CALIF., BEACH-EROSION CONTROL Location. Anaheim Bay Harbor is on the coast of California in Orange County, 4 miles southeast of the mouth of the Los Angeles River at Long Beach. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for Federal participation by the contribution of Federal funds toward the cost of artificial placement of 200,000 cubic yards of sand on the shore, construction of 1 groin at Seal Beach, and place- ment of a feeder beach of 1,000,000 cubic yards of sand at Surf Side. Federal participation at Seal Beach is to be to the extent of one-third of the first cost and at Surf Side is to be to the extent of 28.8 percent of the first cost. The latest (1959) approved estimate of Federal first cost for Seal Beach is $108,000, or about 36.2 percent of the total first cost of $298,000; and the latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost for Surf Side is $179,000, or about 27.6 percent of the total first cost of $613,000. 1 Cost from regular funds, is $304,821 for new work performed by contract and -$8,531 for new work performed by hired labor. Total Federal costs to date are $385,988. Total non-Federal costs to date are $498,190, comprising $480,784 for items of local cooperation required under terms of the project authorization and $17,406 for betterments. =Cost, from regular funds, is for new work performed by hired labor. 1578 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 349, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). The project document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Local interests are required to adopt the aforementioned plans of protection and improvement; to submit for approval by the Chief of Engineers prior to commencement of work detailed plans and specifications for the project and also the arrangements for prosecuting the work; to assure such maintenance of the protective and improvement measures during the useful life of the project, including replenishment of the feeder beach at suitable intervals, as may be required to serve the project's intended purpose; to provide at their own expense all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way; to hold and save the United States free from all claims for damages that may arise before, during, or after prosecution of the work; to assure that water pollution that would endanger the health of bathers will not be permitted; and to assure continued public ownership of the shore upon which the amount of Federal par- ticipation is based and to assure its administration for public use only. The latest (1959) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Seal Beach is $190,000, and the latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Surf Side is $434,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of reimbursing local interests for the Federal share of the first cost of shore-protection improvement constructed at Seal Beach by local interests. The costs, all from regular funds, were $95,000 for reimburse- ment to local interests for new work performed at Seal Beach. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the groin and placement of 200,000 cubic yards of sand on the beach at Seal Beach was initiated by local interests in May 1959 and completed in September 1959. Cracks and spalling, with resultant exposure of reinforcing steel, have occurred at some places on the groin since its completion. Although a 5-foot cap was removed by the contractor and replaced, some further repairs are required. No work has been performed at Surf Side. The total costs for the existing project to June 30, 1960, were as follows: Costs Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular funds .................. ........... $114,000 .................... $114, 000 Total, Federal funds ................. 114, 000 ..................... 114, 000 Other funds ................................................... .. .......................

OCEANSIDE, OCEAN BEACH, IMPERIAL BEACH, AND CORONADO, SAN DIEGO COUNTY, BEACH-EROSION CONTROL (PHASE 1, APPENDIX IV, COAST OF CALIFORNIA) Location. The proposed project is on the coast of southern California, in San Diego County, at Oceanside, Ocean Beach, Imperial Beach, and Coronado. Existing project. In general, the plan of improvement pro- vides for Federal participation by the contribution of Federal funds toward the cost of the following shore-protection features to be constructed by local interests. (a) At Oceanside, to create a protective beach 200 feet wide and 10,000 feet long by artificial placement of about 900,000 cubic yards of dredged material between Ninth and Witherby Streets, and to replace periodically the losses that will result from south- ward littoral drift. A modified plan, which also provides for a groin not called for in the document plan, is under consideration. (b) At Ocean Beach, to create a protective beach 200 feet wide and 1,700 feet long by artificial placement of approximately 250,000 cubic yards of dredge spoil from the Mission Bay dredg- ing project between Cape May and Narragansett Avenues, to retard the northward movement of that material by constructing a stone groin at Cape May Avenue, and to replenish the beach periodically at an average rate of 5,000 cubic yards per year. (c) At Imperial Beach, to construct five stone groins at about 1,000-foot intervals, the most northern groin being at the north end of the existing seawall at the Naval Radio Station. (d) At Coronado (Bay View Estates), to construct along the eroding bluffs a stone or broken-concrete revetment with a length of 1,900 feet and with a top elevation of 10 feet above mean lower low water. The latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost for the modified plan for Oceanside is $227,000, or about one-third of the total first cost of $681,000; the latest (1959) approved esti- mate of Federal first cost for Ocean Beach is $12,000, or about 42.9 percent of the total first cost of $28,000; and the latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost for Imperial Beach is $98,000, or about 37.7 percent of the total first cost of $245,000. 1580 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The improvement was authorized by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958. (See H. Doc. 399, 84th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Except for groin No. 1 at Imperial Beach, local interests would construct the project. However, local inter- ests have requested the Federal Government to construct groin No. 2 in fiscal year 1961. The project would be operated by local interests. Federal contribution to the project would be subject to the conditions that local interests (a) obtain approval by the Chief of Engineers of detailed plans and specifications and arrangements for prosecuting the work on any project, prior to the commencement of such work; (b) provide at their own expense all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way; and (c) furnish satisfactory assurances that they will (1) control pollution of waters to the extent necessary to safeguard the health of bathers except that originating from the international sewer south of Imperial Beach, (2) maintain the protective and improvement measures during the useful lives of the projects as may be required to serve their intended purposes, including replenishment of the protective beaches at Oceanside and Ocean Beach at suitable intervals, and (3) maintain continued public ownership of the shores and their administration for public use during the useful lives of the projects. The latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Oceanside is $454,000; the latest (1959) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Ocean Beach is $16,000; the latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Imperial Beach is $147,000; and the latest (1959) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for Coronado is $12 per linear foot, none of which can be reimbursed by the Federal Government to local interests because the shore is privately owned. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of (a) reimbursing local interests in the amount of $7,912, one- third of the total first cost of the groin constructed by local interests at Ocean Beach; and (b) completing project plan and preparing contract plans and specifications for groin No. 1 at Imperial Beach and constructing that groin. The costs were $72,689 from three funds, as follows: (a) $7,912 from regular funds - all for reimbursement to local interests for new work performed at Ocean Beach; (b) $39,225 from other contributed funds for Imperial Beach - $38,560 for new work performed by contract and $665 for new work per- formed by hired labor; and (c) $25,552 from advanced funds for Imperial Beach - $25,392 for new work performed by con- tract and $160 for new work performed by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. The groin at Ocean Beach was completed by local interests prior to fiscal year 1958, and local interests have been reimbursed for the Federal share of the cost of constructing that groin. In addition, about 275,000 cubic yards of material were deposited on the beach between the groin and Niagara Avenue from Mission Bay dredging (at no cost to local interests). No work remains to be done at Ocean Beach. The U.S. Navy, in connection with the dredging of the harbor SHORE PROTECTION - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1581 at Camp Pendleton, has deposited (at no cost to local interests) about 700,000 cubic yards of the 900,000 cubic yards that local interests had planned to deposit at Oceanside. No other work has been performed at Oceanside. At Imperial Beach, construction of groin No. 1 was initiated in July 1959 and completed in September 1959. No other work has been performed at Imperial Beach.

Noyo Harbor is a cove on the California coast about 100 miles south of Humboldt Bay and 135 miles northwest of San Francisco. Noyo River rises in the Coast Range Mountains, flows westerly, and empties into Noyo Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5703.) Previous projects. Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922. For further details, see page 1680, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1772, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project. This provides for a rubblemound break- water extending northwesterly about 1,100 feet from the south headland of Noyo Harbor, 2 entrance jetties, and for an entrance channel into Noyo River 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide and a channel in the river 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide extending 1.15 miles above the mouth, to be obtained by jetty construction and dredging. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet. The extreme range is about 11.5 feet. The latest approved estimate of cost for new work (1960), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $3,270,000, of which $3,240,000 is Federal cost and $30,000 is the amount to be contributed by local interests. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $24,063.

The act of July 3, 1930, requires that local interests provide free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged materials, and royalty-free stone for construction and repair of the jetties, together with suitable rights-of-way needed in transporting the stone to the jetties. These requirements have been fully complied with for work per- formed to date. Expenditures by local interests in meeting the requirements of local cooperation and in constructing privately owned shoreside harbor facilities are estimated to be in excess of $1,000,000. The act of March 2, 1945, requires that local interests provide necessary rights-of-way and easements for construction and maintenance of the breakwater, including access thereto, and a suitable royalty-free quarry in the locality; and give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will provide public facilities and arrangements for the loading and unloading of vessels in Noyo Harbor. The act of June 30, 1948, requires that local interests establish a competent public body empowered to regulate the use and de- velopment of the port facilities, which shall be open to all on equal terms, and provided such public body (1) furnishes, with- RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1589 out cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of- way necessary for construction of the improvement; (2) agrees to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction and maintenance of the project; (3) 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; (4) agrees to furnish, free of cost to the United States, easements over these areas for the deposit of spoil from the new work and maintenance dredging and for the construction thereon of impounding levees and to furnish royalty-free material for the construction of such levees, all when and as required; and (5) agrees to contribute to the United States funds equal to the Federal cost of constructing such levees as and when required. The Noyo Harbor District, established by the Board of Supervisors of Mendocino County in 1950 as an initial step in fulfilling the requirements of local cooperation, has indicated its willingness and intent to meet the necessary conditions of cooperation for uncompleted work. Terminal facilities. There are no facilities in the harbor proper. In the river above the harbor there are two piers and six fish-receiving wharves, three of which have boat fueling stations thereon; five boat building and repair plants; one 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. No work was ac- complished. Costs of $37,814 were incurred in settlement of a contract claim for maintenance dredging completed in fiscal year 1958. 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 to mile 1.15.

ARMY, 1960 jetties at the entrance to the inner harbor, a north jetty 9,500 feet long and a south jetty 12,000 feet long; and three highway bridges across the tidal canal, two of which (at Park Street and High Street) have been replaced by local interests. The railroad and highway bridges at Fruitvale Avenue are being maintained and operated' by the United States. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6 feet in the outer harbor and 6.3 feet in the inner harbor at the Park Street Bridge. The extreme range is about 11 feet. The project was completed in 1931 except for deepening the tidal canal above the Park Street Bridge to 25 feet. The cost of the completed work was $2,622,031, exclusive of contributed funds in the amount of $83,547 and of amounts expended on previous projects. The uncompleted portion of the project is being restudied. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $489,069. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $284,425. Local cooperation. The act of January 21, 1927, requires that the future maintenance by the United States of the north chan- nel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon the removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such re- moval, upon the contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance. This requirement has not been fulfilled. In compliance with a 1910 license issued by the Secretary of War pursuant to provi- sions of the act of June 25, 1910, local interests have replaced the bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. They operated and maintained a com- bined highway and railroad bridge at Fruitvale Avenue until 1942 when the California Court of Appeals ruled that it was illegal for the county of Alameda to use appropriated funds for the sole benefit of a private corporation. The Southern Pacific Railroad Co. operated trains over the combined bridge until June 1951 when a separate railroad bridge, constructed for its use by the Federal Government, was placed in operation. (The railroad and highway bridges at Fruitvale Ave. are maintained and operated by the United States.) All other requirements have been fully complied with. Only fragmentary records are available of costs to local interests in meeting the requirements of local co- operation. Recorded expenditures are in excess of $11 million. Terminal facilities. In the inner harbor there are 64 wharves of which 36 are owned by the Port of Oakland, 7 shipyards, 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 or leased by the United States and are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.

REDWOOD CITY HARBOR, CALIF. Location. Redwood City Harbor is on Redwood Creek, a tribu- tary of San Francisco Bay about 20 miles south of the city of 1602 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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 prdvides 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 latest approved estimate of cost for new work (1960) is $1,950,000, of which $1,830,000 is Federal cost and $120,000 is the amount contributed by local interests. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $72,247. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for work performed to date. The act of August 30, 1935, requires that local interests furnish areas for disposal of dredged materials removed during maintenance. No local cooperation is required by the act of March 2, 1945, but local interests voluntarily provided necessary spoil-disposal areas and impounding works. The act of May 17, 1950, requires that the port of Redwood City give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that it will: (1) RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1603 Provide, without cost to the United States, all necessary land, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas with necessary impounding works, for the construction and subsequent mainte- nance of the project, when and as required; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the works; (3) arrange with re- sponsible local interests to relocate, without cost to the United States, the municipal yacht harbor and provide new facilities at least equal to those now available; and (4) maintain at its own expense the existing public terminal and construct and maintain, without cost to the United States, an additional public wharf, sufficient in size to accommodate a modern cargo vessel, located on the proposed extension of the project, with the understanding that all public terminals shall be open to all on equal terms. The Board of Port Commissioners of the city of Redwood City has furnished resolutions of intent to comply with these require- ments, has relocated the municipal yacht harbor and, by port ordinance No. 8 dated March 3, 1958, has established a special reserve fund of $100,000 to initiate improvements necessary or desirable in connection with project modifications authorized by the acts of 1945 and 1950. In addition, the port has expend- ed in excess of $200,000 in recent years for additions and im- provements to existing municipally owned and operated shore facilities. In 1951 the Leslie Salt Co. placed in operation a multimillion dollar salt-production, storage, and bulk shiploading facility at the upper limit of the upstream turning basin author- ized by the act of May 17, 1950. To provide access to the ship- loading facility, they have dredged and are maintaining a small channel and turning basin within the area included in the authorized, but unconstructed, portion of the Federal project. The bulk loading facilities are available for public use through contractual arrangements with the Port of Redwood City. Terminal facilities. There are 3 municipally owned wharves, 4 privately owned wharves, a boat repair yard, a bulk salt-loading facility, and a pleasure boat mooring in Redwood City Harbor. Local interests have definite plans for additional facilities to accommodate anticipated increases in commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design, including dredging surveys, were accomplished by hired labor, and the U.S. hopper dredge Harding removed 1,084,000 cubic yards of material in widening and deepening to 30 feet the channel across San Bruno Shoal at a new-work cost of $148,528; mobilization was initiated under a contract for new work and maintenance dredging of the channel and turning basin in Redwood Creek at costs of $77,188 for new work and $6,960 for maintenance; and 69,000 cubic yards of shoaled material were removed from the upstream 5-foot channel by contract at a maintenance cost of $44,765. The project costs during the fiscal year were $225,716 for new work and $51,725 for maintenance, a total of $277,441. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 25 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is the 1604 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 widening and deepening of the channel and turning basin in Redwood Creek as authorized by the act of March 2, 1945, and the channel extension and second turning basin in Redwood Creek as authorized by the act of May 17, 1950. The controlling depths in the various channels on the dates indicated were as follows: October 1959, 26.5 feet in San Bruno Shoal Channel, 26.5 feet in San Francisco Bay to buoy 5, thence 24.4 feet to buoy 10, 24 feet to turning basin, and 24.4 feet in turning basin; November 1958, 7 feet from turning basin to yacht harbor; October 1959, 5.5 feet from yacht harbor to head of navigation.

S. ARMY, 1960 The latest approved estimate of cost for new work (1960) is $19,850,000, of which $14,252,000 is Federal cost and $5,598,000 is the amount contributed by local interests. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 585, 81st Cong., 2d sess. as modified by the Chief of Engineers). The latest published map is contained in the project document. Public Law 404, 84th Congress, 2d ses- sion, approved February 10, 1956, authorized to be appropriated a sum in addition to that authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1950 for completion of the initial stage of development of the project. Local cooperation. The improvements are subject to the con- dition 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: (1) Furnish free of cost to the United States all lands, easements, and right-of-way necessary for the construction of the channel stabilization works; (2) make all necessary road and bridge revisions and utility alterations and relocations required for the channel stabilization works; (3) adjust all claims concerning water rights arising from the con- struction and operation of the improvements; (4) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (5) maintain the channel stabilization works, after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (6) prevent any encroachment on the stream channel which would interfere with the proper functioning of the improvements or lessen their beneficial effects; and, (7) enter into an agreement among themselves as to the method of operation of the reservoir for conservation subject to flood-con- trol priority. The Board of Directors of the Sonoma County flood-control and water-conservation district, by Resolution No. SA 6847 dated May 25, 1955, guaranteed fulfillment of all local cooperation re- quired for the project except that pertaining to the channel stabilization works to be constructed outside the boundaries of Sonoma County. In January 1956 the voters of southern Mendocino County passed a bond issue in support of their share of project cost and approved the formation of the Mendocino County Russian River Flood Control and Water Conservation District which, by Resolution dated November 12, 1959, has furnished assurances of local cooperation for channel improve- ment works to be constructed in Mendocino County. The required cash contribution of $5,598,000 was made by the county of Sonoma to the Department of Interior in full repayment of the conservation benefits of the project and transferred to the Department of the Army on March 5, 1956. In December 1956, Sonoma County was reimbursed $633,000 by Mendocino County for its share of the local cash contribution. The responsible agencies of the two counties have agreed that operating instruc- tions for water conservation storage and releases will be issued by the Chief Engineer, Sonoma County Flood Control and Water FLOOD CONTROL - SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1613 Conservation District. Local cooperation has been complied with for work performed to date. Operations and results during fiscal year. The following work was accomplished at a total cost of $274,915 from regular funds, of which $172,598 was for new work and $102,317 was for maintenance: New work Land acquisition essentially completed by hired labor ............ $30,620 Relocation of State Highway 20 and utilities adjustment in cost reimbursable contracts ..................................... 12,988 Minor completion items, dam and appurtenant works, under lump sum contracts ............................................. 22,330 Engineering and design and supervision and administration con- tinued by hired labor ................................ ....... 106,660 Total new work costs ................................... 172,598 Maintenance Operation and maintenance of dam, reservoir, and service facili- ties, including condition and operation studies ................. 1.02,317 Condition at end of fiscal year.

SAN LORENZO CREEK, CALIF. Location. San Lorenzo Creek, located in Alameda County, Calif., on the eastern side of San Francisco Bay, flows in a general westerly direction and enters the bay at a point about 10 miles southeast of the city of Oakland. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles, Pleasanton, Hayward, and San Leandro.) Existing project. This provides for a leveed channel extend- ing about 1.4 miles upstream from the mouth; thence a rec- tangular concrete channel for a distance of approximately 3.9 miles; a total improved channel length of approximately 5.3 miles. 5.3 miles. The latest approved estimate of cost for new work (1960) is $5,400,000, of which $5,200,000 is Federal cost and $200,000 is the estimated value of work performed by local interests in lieu 1616 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 of a cash contribution. A bank-stabilization portion of the proj- ect is considered to be inactive and is excluded from the fore- going cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1960 and was estimated to be $170,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc 452, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. The act of September 3, 1954, requires that local interests: (1) Provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construc- tion of the project; (2) make all necessary vehicular bridge and utility alterations or replacements; (3) contribute 2.6 percent of the actual cost of the channel improvements, levees, and railroad bridge revisions, or perform the equivalent thereof in construc- tion of such improvements; (4) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (5) maintain and operate the project after completion in accordance with regu- lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (6) prevent encroachment on the project channels which might interfere with their proper functioning for flood control. The Alameda County Flood-Control and Water Conservation District, by resolutions No. 73 dated January 15, 1953, and No. 2544 dated September 23, 1958, has guaranteed fulfillment of the requirements of local cooperation. Local interests have con- structed flood-control improvements in the lower reaches of the channel which have been accepted as construction in lieu of cash contribution. Utility relocations have been completed, and neces- sary lands, easements and rights-of-way have been provided. Bridge relocations are essentially complete. Operations and results during fiscal year. As new work, engineering and design was accomplished by hired labor and, under a continuing contract for the initial phase of construction in the lower 5.3 miles of the project channel, approximately 1.6 miles of concrete-lined channel, 0.8 mile of concrete-faced and riprapped levee, and 0.6 mile of earthfill levee were constructed. Railroad bridge modifications were completed under a cost-reim- bursable contract. The costs during the fiscal year were $2,172,746 for new work.

SAN LORENZO RIVER, CALIF. Location. San Lorenzo River, in Santa Cruz County, Calif., flows in a general southeasterly direction from the Santa Cruz Mountains through the city of Santa Cruz where it enters Mon- terey Bay, about 65 miles south of San Francisco. Branciforte Creek joins the river from the left bank within the city of Santa Cruz. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle, Ben Lomond.) Existing project. This provides for levees along San Lorenzo River from the mouth to the Fireeway Bridge below river mile 2, thence channel improvement to the head of the project at river mile 2.4, with a concrete floodwall at that point; for channel im- provement and rectification of Branciforte Creek from its junc- tion with San Lorenzo River to mile 1.2; and for improvement of the interior drainage system; all within the city of Santa Cruz. The cost of new work under the project, completed in 1959, was $4,346,845, including $70,000 for preauthorization studies, but exclusive of $417,000 contributed by local interests. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of September 3, 1.954 (H. Doc. 447, 83d Cong., 2d sess. as modi- fied by the Chief of Engineers). Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, amount to $2,600,000 (1959 price levels). Operations and results during the fiscal year. As new work under a continuing contract, 3,000 linear feet of levee were constructed, the interior drainage system was completed, and channel improvements downstream from the Riverside Avenue Bridge above mile 0.5 on San Lorenzo River were constructed to complete the project. The costs during the fiscal year for new work were $289,181, of which $287,845 was from regular funds and $1,336 was from contributed funds. Condition at. end of fiscal year. The project was completed in November 1959.

SACRAMENTO RIVER, CALIF. Location. Sacramento River rises in the Trinity Mountains in north-central California, flows in a general southerly direction about 374 miles and empties into Suisun Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay, at Collinsville, Calif. See U.S. Geological Survey topographic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Previous projects. The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1875. The project was subse- quently modified by the River and Harbor Acts adopted 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. The project provides for construction of the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel from deep water in Suisun Bay to Washington Lake, 11/2 miles west of the Sacra- 1621 1622 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 mento River at the city of Sacramento, a distance of 43 miles, construction of a harbor and turning basin at Washington Lake, and a connecting canal with navigation lock from the harbor to the Sacramento River. The project also provides for a shallow-draft channel 10 feet deep at mean lower low water, 150 to 200 feet bottom width, from Suisun Bay to Sacramento, Calif., 60 miles; a depth of 6 feet at low water between Sacramento and Colusa, 85 miles; a depth of 5 feet at low water between Colusa and Chico Landing, 50 miles; and such depths as practicable between Chico Landing and Red Bluff, 50 miles, a total distance of 245 miles. The deepwater channel will be formed by widening and deep- ening existing channels for the first 18 miles above Suisun Bay to 6 miles above Rio Vista and excavation of a new channel for the remaining 25 miles to Washington Lake, to a depth of 30 feet at mean lower low water with a bottom width of 200 to 300 feet, including related confining embankments and such works as may be necessary to compensate for or to alleviate any possible detri- mental effects on salinity of delta tidal channels which might result from construction of the ship channel. The triangular harbor and turning basin will be formed by deepening and widen- ing Washington Lake to a depth of 30 feet at mean lower low water, 2,400 feet by 2,000 feet by 3,4.00 feet, with provision for future enlargement. The construction of the 11/2-mile long canal 13 feet deep and 120 feet wide between the harbor and the Sacra- mento River, together with a navigation lock 86 feet wide by 600 feet long, will provide for the transfer of barges between the two different water-surface elevations. A single leaf combina- tion highway and railroad bascule bridge will cross the canal at the harbor end of the navigation lock. The Sacramento-Yolo Port District will construct, operate, and maintain an adequate public terminal with necessary utilities and rail and highway connections at the harbor. The deep-draft channel will provide access inland to Sacra- mento for oceangoing vessels and, in addition, will also be used for large amounts of barge shipping because its length is shorter than that of the river and because the greater depth and slack water will permit handling larger barges. It will serve an area covering northern California, southern Oregon, and western Ne- vada. These facilities will also be utilized by military installa- tions in the area. Above Sacramento the results are to be obtained by removal of snags and concentration of the channel by dredging and wing dams and by streamflow regulation by the Shasta Reservoir. The 10-foot channel below Sacramento was completed in 1931 and the 6-foot channel between Sacramento and Colusa was com- pleted in 1946; these channels are to be maintained for local navigation. Provision of the 5-foot depth between Colusa and Chico Landing (50 miles) has not been initiated. Construction of the shallow-draft channel is about 56 percent complete. Construction of the 30-foot deep water ship channel was ini- tiated in July 1949 and is about 49 percent complete.

The latest approved estimate of Federal cost (Corps of Engineers) for new work (July 1960) is $43,400,000 (exclusive of $300,000 Federal cost (Coast Guard) for navigation aids) for the 30-foot deep water ship channel and 13-foot deep con- necting canal, and $1,050,000 for shallow-draft river channels, for construction, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Federal maintenance of the deep-draft channel will be accom- plished by the Corps of Engineers with the exception of main- tenance of the navigation aids which will be accomplished by the Coast Guard. The average annual maintenance cost for the shallow-draft channel during the past 5 years was $282,271, including a total of $70,000 from the appropriation for "Deferred Maintenance".

For map of the section below Sacramento, see H. Doc. 1123, 60th Cong., 2d sess., and S. Doc. 142, 79th Cong., 2d sess. 1624 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Recommended modification of project. House Document No. 272, 84th Congress, 2d session, recommended that the existing navigation improvement on Sacramento River be not modified at this time to improve the navigability from Chico Landing to Red Bluff, and that a survey for navigation improvement be not undertaken at this time. Local cooperation. The improvement of the deepwater chan- nel was subject to the condition that responsible local interests give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they would: (1) Furnish without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and subsequent maintenance when and as required and make all necessary utility changes necessary for the construction of the project; (2) 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; and (3) Hold and save the United States free from any damages which may arise from construction, operation, and maintenance of the improvement. The Sacramento-Yolo Port District was formed under the laws of the State of California in April 1947, for the purpose of carry- ing out the required local cooperation. The Port District, by re- solution dated December 24, 1947, gave assurances that it would accomplish all requirements for local cooperation. These as- surances were accepted on February 3, 1948, by the Secretary of the Army. Total estimated cost for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, (excluding terminal facilities), including required non-Federal contributions, amounts to $3,615,000 (July 1960), comprising $1,800,000 for lands and damages and $1,815,000 for relocations. Of this total estimate, about $2,300,000 have been committed through December 1959. In addition, total estimated cost for provision of public terminals with the necessary utilities and rail and highway connections at Washington Lake, required under terms of the project authoriza- tion, amounts to about $12 million (January 1960). Of this total estimate about $2,500,000 have been committed through December 1959 for purchase of lands and for construction of an 875,000- bushel grain elevator, together with necessary railroad, highway and appurtenant facilities. A bond issue of $3,750,000 was authorized by voters of the Port District in November 1947; bonds in the amount of $1,750,000 were sold prior to 1956, $1 million in November 1956, and $1 million in October 1958. These funds were utilized by the Port District for acquisition of rights-of-way and for port facili- ties. In addition, the California State Legislature appropriated $750,000 in 1947 to assist the acquisition of necessary rights-of- way. Legislation approved in 1958 (ch. 91, California Statutes of 1958) authorized the Port District to sell revenue bonds for construction of revenue-producing facilities. A master plan cover- RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1625 ing development of terminal facilities for the port has been prepared. It is the intention of the Port District to expand its grain elevator from the present capacity of 875,000 bushels to a capacity of 2 million to 3 million bushels and to construct as many warehouses and terminal facilities as can be financed through the revenue bond medium. The Port District has met all requirements for rights-of-way and utility relocations to date and has indicated that it will meet such requirements for future construction programs. In addition to the developments by the Port District, private interests have constructed and placed into operation facilities in the vicinity of the port which will make use of the project. In- cluded are a rice grower's cooperative mill and warehouse costing $2,500,000; a cement plant costing $2,500,000, and a highway- overpass entrance to the port terminal area costing $308,000; three warehouses with total cost of $925,000; and miscellaneous facilities costing $350,000. These private interests contiguous to the port currently have a total investment of over $6,583,000 dependent upon completion of the project. In order to permit passage of ocean-going vessels, the State of California has reconstructed the bridge across the Sacramento River at Rio Vista at an estimated cost of about $3 million. The sum of $500,000, advanced to the United States in June 1949 to accelerate construction, has been returned to the port authority. No local cooperation is required on the shallow-draft feature of the project. No work relating to shallow-draft navigation for the benefit of the public with funds other than Corps of Engineers funds is presently proposed. Terminal facilities. All of the piers, wharves, and docks at the port of Sacramento are open-pile structures with timber decks, some of which are designed to meet the extreme high waters at flood stags. Eleven facilities are located along the bank at Broderick, West Sacramento, and points below. All the main wharves at Sacramento have rail connections. Municipal-belt- railroad tracks serve the shedded wharves from the rear. Thirteen of the waterfront facilities are served by one or more of the four carriers operating in the port area. Two of the carriers are trunkline railroads and two are interurban lines operated for freight service; all traverse the rich agricultural areas and provide connections with other transcontinental and local carriers. All waterborne movements to and from the port are transported by shallow-draft river steamers, tank barges, and freight barges, and will continue to be handled thusly until such time as the authorized deepwater ship channel is completed. All the preceding is for shallow-draft navigation. For full de- scription see "Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of Stockton and Sacramento, Calif., 1951." Two grain elevators are located at the port. One, handling rice exclusively, is located on the river at West Sacramento, and is served by two wharves. The elevator, a warehouse, and stor- age bins have a combined capacity of approximately 1 million 1626 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 100-pound sacks of rice. Additional facilities are located near Lake Washington, on the site of the new port development to be built upon completion of the deepwater channel. The port district grain elevator has a capacity of 875,000 bushels of barley, wheat, or other grains in its 12 concrete silos and 3 steel storage bins. Construction of a rice dryer, mill, and elevator, designed for direct conveyor-belt connection with seagoing vessels, has been completed by the Farmers' Rice Growers Corp. The new plant has a capacity of more than 400,000 100-pound bags of rice and there are 40 storage bins. Three warehouses have also been constructed in this area. These facilities are all serviced by rail and highway facilities. Between Sacramento and Colusa there are 10 large 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 and Meridian. F reight is also handled on the bank. On the river channels at Sacramento there are 1,400 linear feet of wharves, 9 oil terminals, 1 cement-storage facility, 1 rice mill and 1 ship-repair yard. Between Sacramento and Rio Vista there are five docks with barge-loading facilities and one grain elevator. Facilities at Rio Vista comprise 1,440 linear feet of wharves with warehouse facilities, two oil terminals, and one Government dock. There is one dock and warehouse at Tolands Landing and one feed yard and dock at Collinsville. The above facilities, except for the Government dock at Rio Vista, are 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. The total tonnage along the project channels, including the Port of Sacramento, in calendar year 1958 was 2,259,495 tons. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: There were no new work operations on the shallow-draft portion of the project. New work activities for the deep-draft channel to Sacramento included office engineering and design studies, and preparation of construction plans and specifications, all of which were accom- plished by hired labor. Architect-engineer services were utilized for checking of shop drawings for the bascule bridge. Relocation of the Sacramento Northern Railroad's main line trackage and appurtenant facilities, initiated in fiscal year 1958, by continuing contract, was completed. Dredging of the ship channel from mile 36.0 to mile 42.8 and the harbor area, initiated by continuing contract in fiscal year 1958, was continued. The following con- struction, initiated in fiscal year 1959 by continuing contracts, was continued: Barge canal lock, bascule bridge, and power con- trol and lighting system; relocation of signal system for Sacra- mento Northern Railroad's main line trackage connecting to and operating over the bascule bridge; and dredging of the ship channel from mile 26.7 to mile 35.8. In addition, construction was accomplished for the Sacramento- Yolo Port District at its expense in connection with the lock and RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1627 bridge construction and the channel dredging from mile 36.0 to mile 42.8 and harbor area. Maintenance: Deep-draft channel-None. Shallow-draft channel: Condition surveys of the channel at various locations, minor snagging at isolated locations, and mis- cellaneous inspections and reports were accomplished by hired labor during the fiscal year. Dredging shoals in Sacramento River at Sacramento Harbor, by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge, resulted in the removal of 83,000 cubic yards of material. In addition, 50,100 cubic yards of material were removed as a result of dredging in Steamboat Slough and Sacramento River by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge. Total costs for all work during the fiscal year were as follows: Funds New work 1 Maintenance 2 Total United States funds: Regular appropria- tions ................................... $7, 751,240 $211, 359 $7, 962, 599 Contributed funds, other .................. 70, 419 .................... 70, 419 Total of all funds ..................... 7,821,659 211,359 8,033,018 1 For deep-draft. 2 For shallow-draft. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the 7-foot shallow-draft below Sacramento was initiated in September 1899 and completed in 1904. The modified 10-foot shallow-draft up to Sacramento was initiated in fiscal year 1928 and completed in 1931. The shallow-draft channel above Sacramento was initiated in April 1946. New work on the shallow-draft channel is about 56 percent complete. The work remaining to complete the shal- low-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, con- centration of the channel by temporary works, and streamflow regulation of 5,000 second-feet by operation of Shasta Reservoir. Construction of the 30-foot deepwater ship channel, under the modification authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved July 24, 1946, was initiated in July 1949, and is about 49 percent complete. Construction of road, railroad, and levee embank- ments in the harbor area was completed by contracts in October 1949, and February 1950. Excavation of ship channel together with necessary levee reconstruction, mile 14.1 to mile 17.8 by contract, was completed in October 1951. Further new construction was suspended in accordance with Presidential directive dated July 21, 1950, until fiscal year 1956. Channel enlargement, west channel Yolo Bypass, Liberty Cut, and Prospect Slough and construction of toe drain in Yolo Bypass from mile 22.4 to mile 41.0 were completed in fiscal years 1958 and 1959, respectively. Status of continuing construction contracts is as follows: Dredg- ing of the ship channel, mile 36.0 to mile 42.8, initiated in fiscal year 1958, 86 percent complete; dredging of ship channel, mile 26.7 to mile 35.8, initiated in fiscal year 1959, 50 percent complete; 1628 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and barge canal lock, bascule bridge, power control and lighting system, initiated in fiscal year 1959, 79 percent complete. The bascule bridge structure has been completed and was dedicated in a public ceremony April 20, 1960. Work remaining to complete the deep-draft portion of the project is completion of work under construction or under contract, and construction of barge canal, remaining portions of channel, bank protection, and levees. The entire project as modified is about 49 percent complete. Bank protection and salinity control will not be undertaken until their necessity and scope are determined after the ship channel is placed in operation. Completion of the shallow-draft channel is indefinite; the deep- draft channel is scheduled to be placed in operational status in June 1963. Recreational use of the Sacramento River and adjacent water- ways has increased measurably in the past year and involves several thousand small craft. Although no record is available as to the number of persons or small craft using the waterways, it is considered to be probably in excess of 10 million visitor-days annually. The controlling low-water season depths were as follows: From the mouth of the river to Cache Slough, 20 feet; mouth of Cache Slough to Sacramento, 10 feet; thence to Colusa, 6 feet; thence to Sidds Landing, 3 feet; and thence to Red Bluff, head of navi- gation, 1.5 feet. The channel is navigable during the entire year; however, there is no regular navigation above Sidds Landing, 178 miles above the mouth of the river. Minimum dredging necessary to maintain the shallow-draft channel to Sacramento and from Sacramento to Colusa has been performed. Annual maintenance dredging is required in both sections of the shallow-draft channel to remove accumulated shoals caused by settlement of flood-borne sand and silt to provide the project depths in satisfactory condition to accommodate navigation re- quirements. The shallow-draft channel provides a satisfactory navigation channel that accommodates the using traffic through- out most of the year. Any less dredging would be unsatisfactory. The required annual dredging has become of increased importance because in recent years the trend has been toward increased tonnage and larger vessels.

Suisun Channel is the project channel in Suisun Slough, a tidal inlet with its mouth on the northwest side of Suisun Bay, about 7 miles northeast of Benicia and 36 miles northeast of San Francisco. The head of navigation is at the city of Suisun, about 13 miles north of the mouth. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Existing project. This provides for dredging a channel 8 feet deep at mean lower low water from Suisun Bay to and in the basin at the city of Suisun, about 13 miles in length, straightened by four cutoffs in the upper portion; channel widths to be 200 feet in the bar channel, 100 feet in the cutoffs, and a minimum of 125 feet in the remaining parts of the project channel; widening four bends located 5, 51/2, 71/2 and 121/2 miles below Suisun; the removal of ledge rock from the channel at a location about 31/2 miles below Suisun; and a 1,400 by 150-foot harbor at Suisun, with an extension for a turning basin 275 feet wide and 600 feet long. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 5 feet during the low-water season, with an extreme range of 10 feet. The total Federal cost of new work for the project, completed in 1947, was $217,677. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $14,389. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents June 25, 1910 To secure a channel up to Suisun, 6 feet deep at low H. Doc. 1110, 60th Cong., 2d sess. water, by dredging and making a cutoff just below the town. Mar. 4, 1913 Pursuant to this act the project was modified by the Assistant Secretary of War to provide for dredging a channel 125 feet wide on the bottom and 6 feet deep, mean lower low water, up to and including a harbor 6 feet deep, 150 feet wide, and 1,400 feet long in front of the town of Suisun, and the remov- al of rock about 3% miles below the head of navi- gation.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1631 Local cooperation. Local interests were required to furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suit- able spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent mainte- nance, undertake any necessary reconstruction of the powerline crossing over the proposed cutoff near Suisun, and provide at Suisun adequate public-terminal facilities subject to the approval of the Chief of Engineers. Total costs for all requirements of local cooperation (exclusive of terminal facilities) under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contri- butions, amounted to approximately $36,700. Included were rights-of-way costing $4,900 for the 1910 authorization and rights-of-way and utility relocations costing $31,800 for the 1937 authorization. In addition to the construction of warehouses and wharves, local interests expended more than $8,000 prior to 1936 for dredging outside the limits of the project and for the purpose of improving the harbor at Suisun. A new $15,000 grain warehouse and additional oil-storage tanks valued at $4,000 were erected during 1935. The oil-terminal plant was valued at $50,000 in June 1935. Additional grain-handling facilities and more storage for petroleum products have been constructed subsequent to the 1937 authorization. The overall value of harbor facilities amounts to about $250,000 (1960). Additional public terminals are not required by the public at this time. 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 are considered adequate for existing commerce. Land has been purchased, financ- ing arranged, and plans have been prepared for construction of additional public-terminal facilities at such time as the need becomes apparent. Certain facilities are in use for military pur- poses. The total tonnage through the channel in calendar year 1958 was 140,387 tons. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Op- erations during the year consisted of condition surveys of the channel and condition and operation studies, all of which was accomplished by hired labor and removal of 51,000 cubic yards of material in Suisun Channel by contract suction dredge. Total costs during the fiscal year $31,232 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The construction of new work was initiated in March 1912; improvement of the channel modi- fication authorized in 1937 was initiated in May 1946, and com- pleted in June 1947. The channel is navigable during the entire year; head of navigation is in the city of Suisun, Calif., about 400 feet above Sacramento Street. The controlling depth is 8 feet in the channel and harbor basin at mean lower low water. Maintenance dredging is required to remove accumulated shoals to assure adequate project depths, to accommodate general navi- gation and defense transportation requirements. The Delta Region of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River sys- tems, together with Suisun Bay and associated waterways, is 1632 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 within reach of the large population in and about the San Fran- cisco Bay Area. Recreational use of these waterways involves several thousand small craft. No record has been maintained of persons or small. craft using Suisun Channel; however, it is considered to be substantial. Total costs for the project to June 30, 1960, were $393,057, of which $217,677 was for new work and $175,380 for maintenance.

SUISUN BAY CHANNEL, CALIF. Location. Suisun Bay is about 30 miles northeast of San Fran- cisco, Calif., and is an integral part of the waterways which provide access to the Pacific Ocean from inland ports of Califor- nia. 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 Deep Water Channel. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5534.) Previous project. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1919, provided for a channel 300 feet wide from Martinez to Antioch, Calif., 24 feet deep across the lower shoal near Bulls Head Point, 20 feet deep across Point Edith and Middle Ground Shoals, and 18 feet deep through New York Slough, all depths refer to mean lower low water. Local interests were required to contribute toward the first cost of construction and to provide spoil area together with the required impounding levees. For further details, see page 1756 of Annual Report for 1920, 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, a dis- tance of about 13 miles, and for a channel 250 feet wide and 20 feet deep south of Seal Island from the main channel at Point Edith, mile 3, to the main channel again at Bay Point, mile 6. All depths refer to mean lower low water. The tidal range be- tween mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 6 feet. The extreme range is about 9.5 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1633 The total Federal cost of new work for the existing project, completed in 1934, exclusive of work accomplished under the public works program as part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot project, was $142,026. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $58,729. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents 1 Jan. 21, 1927 For a 26-foot channel through the bay............... H. Doc. 554, 68th Cong., 2d sess.

Local cooperation. Under the previous project adopted by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1919, local interests con- tributed $65,000, of which $59,551 was expended as required con- tributed funds toward first cost of the project; the balance amounting to $5,449 was expended for maintenance of the previ- ous project. Local interests were also required to provide storage room for dredged material and to build the necessary impound- ing levees, which were subsequently utilized under the existing project. The River and Harbor Act approved January 21, 1927, adopted the existing project and also the 26-foot channel under Improve- ment No. 5, San Joaquin River, Calif. Under this authorization, the local cooperation requirements pertained to work for San Joaquin River. Under the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, local interests were required to contribute $20,000, the entire estimated cost of deepening the channel across Bulls Head Point Shoal to 30 feet. This requirement was voided by inclusion of this work in the Public Works program and subsequently adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935. Terminal facilities. Along the channel between the western end of the bay and mouth of New York Slough, there are three wharves, all privately owned and used. Also, a naval magazine with wharves and warehouses has been constructed at Port Chicago, on the southern shore (mile 6). These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. The total tonnage in the channel in calendar year 1958 was 8,762,449 tons, of which 5,166,410 tons was through traffic. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Opera- tions during the year accomplished by hired labor included pre- liminary surveys, miscellaneous inspections and reports, and condition surveys. The Government-owned hopper dredge Davison was utilized to remove 234,000 cubic yards of material in mainte- nance dredging at Point Edith and Middle Ground Shoals. Total costs for maintenance during the fiscal year were $81,732. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work under the existing 1634 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 project was initiated in June 1930, and completed in 1934; a portion of this work was accomplished under the public works program. The portion of the existing project authorized prior to the public works program was completed in 1931 except for deepening the 26-foot channel across Bulls Head Point to 30 feet; this portion was subsequently included in the public works pro- gram. Work under the public works program was accomplished during 1933 and 1934. The channel is navigable during the entire year and provides access to San Francisco Bay from the navigation channels of San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers. The Delta Region of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers together with Suisun Bay and associated waterways is within reach of the large population of the San Francisco Bay Area. Although no record is available of the numbers of craft or persons participat- ing, recreational use is considered substantial. The controlling depth at mean lower low water in the main channel is 30 feet, and in the channel south of Seal Island is 20 feet. The project has been maintained in a condition to satisfy general and defense navigation requirements. Annual dredging is required to main- tain the project depth and width in a satisfactory manner without undue interference to essential general and defense navigation requirements. Total costs for the existing project to June 30, 1960, exclusive of the work performed under the public-works program at a cost of $207,198 as a part of the San Joaquin River 30-foot proj- ect, were $1,381,767, of which $142,027 was for new work and $1,239,740 for maintenance.

OLD RIVER, CALIF. Location. Old River is the most westerly branch of the inter- connecting tidal channels into which San Joaquin River divides in crossing its delta. It leaves the main river 21 miles down- stream from the Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/ 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. The authorized project extends along Old River from its mouth near Venice Island to its source in the San RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1635 Joaquin River near Mossdale and provides for a side channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to Santa Fe wharves and Phillips can- nery at Orwood; for channels 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut, 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the westerly end of Doughty Cut to the Holly Sugar Factory, 2 miles north of Tracy, 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from the southerly end of Doughty Cut to head of Old River, and 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in Old River from the westerly end of Grant Line Canal to Lammers Ferry Road; and for entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and also westerly of Grant Line Bridge. 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 3 feet; and at its mouth about 5.5 feet; ordi- nary flood ranges are, respectively, 16 feet and 8 feet; extreme flood ranges are, respectively, 20 feet and 11 feet. The Federal cost of new work for the completed portion was $23,185. Dredging was accomplished in fiscal year 1939 in Old River channel from its head in San Joaquin River to Grant Line Canal and in the channels of Grant Line Canal, Crocker Cut and Doughty Cut. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $13,621. The uncompleted portion of the project, consisting of comple- tion of the project channels at Orwood, from Crocker Cut to the head of Old River, and in the original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to Lammers Ferry Road, is considered to be inactive and has been excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in July 1954, and was estimated to be $62,815. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest published map. Local cooperation. Local interests were required to furnish without cost to the United States all necessary rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and for subsequent maintenance as necessary, and to agree to provide public landings satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers on each side of the proposed channel in the Old River near Lammers Ferry Road and on the Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line Bridge. Spoil-disposal areas have been provided for those channels so far completed; existing commerce does not indicate a need for the public landing on the Fabian-Bell Canal west of Grant Line Bridge. Total costs for all requirements to date of local coopera- tion for the completed portion of the project under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, amounted to about $3,600 (1939). The uncompleted portion of the project is considered to be in- active and no work is contemplated thereon in the foreseeable future owing to an indicated lack of demand for the facility. 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 1636 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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. Existing commerce does not indicate a need for provision of public landings. The total tonnage through the channels of the project in calen- dar year 1958 was 212,141 tons. Operation and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Op- erations during the year consisted of condition surveys and miscel- laneous inspections and reports, including maintenance of gages and gage readings by hired labor. In addition repairs were made to spoil area in Crocker and Doughty Cuts by contract. Total costs during the fiscal year were $3,587 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work was accomplished in fiscal year 1939 in Old River Channel from its head in San Joa- quin River to Grant Line Canal and in the channels of Grant Line Canal, Crocker Cut, and Doughty Cut. Existing commerce does not indicate a need for completion of the remaining channel con- struction. The channel is navigable during the entire year and provides the only avenue of water transportation from the delta islands to certain agricultural processing plants. The project has been maintained in a condition to satisfy general navigation re- quirements. It is necessary to perform annual maintenance dredging to maintain full channel dimensions in order to accom- modate the using traffic. The two heads of navigation are at the head of Old River in San Joaquin River, and at the Holly Sugar Factory wharf, 2 miles north of Tracy. The controlling depths at the end of the fiscal year were: 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 (1) to Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, 5 feet (low water season), or (2) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 5 feet (low water season). All depths refer to mean lower low water.

As a consequence, the adjacent banks and levees are eroding from wave wash in many sections of the channel. Total costs for the project to June 30, 1960, were $377,591, of which $23,185 was for new work and $354,406 for mainte- nance. 5. 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 Collins- ville, 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 chan- nel 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 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. The San Joaquin River project for naviga- tion was authorized in numerous River and Harbor Acts since 1876. It provides for the Stockton Deep Water Ship Channel to the city of Stockton and for minor channel improvements from Stockton Channel upstream for 86 miles to Hills Ferry to facili- tate light-draft navigation. The 1927 River and Harbor Act authorized the original deep water channel with a depth of 26 feet, which was subsequently modified to 30 feet by the 1935 authorization, and the most recent modification of the project was authorized by the 1950 River and Harbor Act. This improvement, as authorized by the River and Harbor Acts through May 17, 1950 (Public Law 516, 81st Cong.), provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean lower low water and for channel bottom width of 400 feet below Criminal Point (near river mile 25) and 225 feet above that point, from the mouth of New York Slough to Mormon Channel at Stockton, a distance of 41 miles (suitably widened at bends and at the entrances to New York Slough and to channels through shoals, with levees set back 230 feet from the center of the channel) ; for a channel 30 feet deep and 150 feet wide thence to Weber Point, 1 mile; for a 9-foot depth, thence to the head of navigation at Eldorado Street, one- half mile; for a 9-foot depth at 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 Wash- ington Street, head of navigation, about 1 mile. It also provides for suitable passing basins and a turning basin 30 feet deep, 960 feet wide and 1,900 feet long at Stockton; for a turning basin 30 feet deep, 600 feet wide and 1,350 feet long adjacent to Rough and Ready Island; for a triangular shaped settling basin 30 feet deep and average side length of about 1,000 feet at the San 1638 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Joaquin River just above its junction with the deep water chan- nel (mile 42) and a second settling basin 30 feet deep, 100 feet wide and 1,200 feet long adjoining the deep water channel at the mouth of Calaveras River; for a leveed channel 30 feet deep and 225 feet wide around Rough and Ready Island including con- struction of a combination railroad and highway bridge; for the reconstruction to grade and section of about 4,000 feet of levee along the north side of Venice Island Cut, and the setting back of levees where required for channel improvements and placement of bank protection on the face of such levees along the San Joa- quin River below Stockton as have been critically damaged by traffic-induced wave action; for cutting off sharp bends and mak- ing cutoffs in the river; for filling Mormon Channel and Mormon Slough above Washington Street with dredge spoil insofar as is economically feasible; 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 overhang- ing 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 entire project is about 45 percent complete; the 1950 modi- fication is about 18 percent complete.

The latest approved estimate of Federal (Corps of Engineers) cost of new work (July 1960) is $14,300,000, of which $4,000 is for lands and damages and $14,296,000 for construction. The Federal (Corps of Engineers) cost of work authorized prior to the 1950 modification was $4,010,000. In addition, costs of $80,000 were incurred for U.S. Coast Guard work accomplished prior to the 1950 authorization. Construction of the settling basin on San Joaquin River above the head of Burns Cutoff is considered to be inactive and has been excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this proj- ect unit was last revised in July 1959 and was estimated to be $1,150,000 for construction. Maintenance of the channel to project depths after completion is the responsibility of the Federal Government. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $154,495. Operation and maintenance of the combined rail and highway bridge and any other bridges required over the waterway, mainte- RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1639 nance of utilities, and maintenance of existing levees and new levees are the responsibility of local interests. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 14, 1876 These acts provided for cutting of sharp bends and Mar. 3, 1881 making cutoffs in San Joaquin River below the July 5, 1884 mouth of Stockton Channel; dredging Mormon Aug. 11, 1888 Channel; snagging, removing obstructions, and July 13, 1892 constructing wing dams in San Joaquin River from Aug. 18, 1894 Stockton Channel to Hills Ferry; and the partial June 3, 1896 closing of side channels at Laird Slough and Para- dise Cut, without adopting any specific dimen- sions.

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 accord- ance 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 (1) except for the new turning basin, furnish free of cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for the new work and subsequent maintenance, when and as re- quired; (2) 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 reloca- tions and alterations and the maintenance thereof; (3) 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; (4) prior 1640 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 to enlargement of Stockton Channel and construction of the channel around Rough and Ready Island, agree, to provide, main- tain, and operate suitable terminal and related facilities at the site of the improvement under consideration; (5) 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 (6) agree to hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction, maintenance, and operation of the proposed improvements. Local interests are represented by the Stockton Port District formed under the laws of the State of California as provided in chapter 1028 of the Statutes of 1931 for the purpose of carrying out the required local cooperation. The district furnished as- surances, dated September 21, 1954, for the 1950 authorized modification; Sacramento District accepted the agreement for the Secretary of the Army on December 14, 1954. All lands, easements, and rights-of-way required to date for the 1950 modification have been furnished. Authority was granted October 12, 1954, by the Comptroller of the Army for acceptance of funds to be contributed by the Port of Stockton progressively as the project is constructed. $35,000 was contributed in Novem- ber 1954 toward the enlargement of the turning basin at Stockton. Completed units of bank protection accomplished under this modification have been transferred to the Port District for main- tenance. Total costs for all requirements of local cooperation prior to the 1950 modification, including required non-Federal contribu- Federal contributions but exclusive of terminal facilities, amount to $2,350,000. These costs included a required cash contribution of $1,308,000 and an additional outlay of $1,042,000 for lands and damages and utility revisions. Costs of provision of terminal facilities under prior authorization are not known. The annual cost of maintenance and operation for the prior completed modifi- cations is not available. for the 1950 modification, including required non-Federal contribu- the 1950 modification, including required non-Federal contribu- tions but exclusive of terminal facilities, amount to $2,135,000 (July 1960). The estimated costs include a cash contribution of $530,000 for construction and an additional outlay of $1,605,000 for lands, rights-of-way, and relocations required for project con- struction. Of this total estimate, approximately 8 percent has been committed or expended through June 30, 1960. No estimate is available of the cost of terminal and related facilities required under the 1950 modification. Annual cost for maintenance and operation of the 1950 modification is $50,000 (July 1960). Construction of the settling basin on San Joaquin River above the head of Burns Cutoff is considered to be inactive and has been excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this proj- ect unit was last revised in July 1959 and was estimated to be $200,000 for lands and relocations. Terminal facilities. The harbor facilities at the port of Stock- RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1641 ton, Calif., consist of 55 piers, wharves, and docks which are lo- cated along the San Joaquin River and on the Stockton, Mormon, and Fremont Channels. With the exception of four facilities on the San Joaquin River and three on Mormon Channel, all facili- ties are located on Stockton Channel or in proximity thereto. Nearly half of the port's water terminals are bulkhead-type shore wharves with sufficient depths of water to accommodate ordinary river craft; the ocean terminals are concrete marginal wharves; and the remainder are generally open pile, timber-decked piers, shore wharves, or offshore wharves. General cargo facilities (six in number) and petroleum handling facilities (seven in num- ber), are indicative of the foremost items of waterborne com- merce handled at the port. The harbor facilities include a marine service station, facilities for handling creosote, treated piling, fruits, vegetables, ore and other bulk materials. About one-half of the waterfront facilities are owned by the city of Stockton and are under the jurisdiction of the Stockton Port District governed by the board of port commissioners. The Stockton Port District is the agency operating the Stockton ocean terminal, comprised of nine public wharves and a bulk-material wharf providing 5,774 feet of berthing space in depths of 30 and 32 feet, mean lower low water, with approximately 388,773 square feet of transit sheds, as well as 1,883 feet of open wharf. Eleven oceangoing vessels can be accommodated at one time at the public ocean terminal. The transit sheds are provided with rail connections by the Stockton public belt railroad. The port also owns and operates eight storage warehouses with a total of 1,046,294 square feet of storage area available for public mer- chandise, equipped with portable mechanized handling equipment and served by trackage of the belt railroad, adjacent to the public ocean terminal which includes a cotton warehouse and compress with 274,560 square feet of floor area and a grain terminal. The grain terminal has a floor area of 185,140 square feet and a cubical capacity of 3,414,600 feet. Approximately 6,660,040 square feet open-storage space (154 acres) is available at Stock- ton Port District public wharves for commodities not affected by weather conditions. The open-storage space is readily accessible to trucks and is served by trackage of the belt railroad. Port- able handling equipment serves the storage areas on the port district property. Certain facilities at the Stockton port termi- nal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton Annex) has been completed on Rough and Ready Is- land, bounded by the Stockton Deep Water Channel on the north side, San Joaquin River on the east side, and Burns cutoff on the south and west sides. Shallow-draft facilities on the upper channel include 12,500 linear feet of wharves of which 8,620 linear feet are privately operated, the remainder being operated by the Stockton Port District. Included along these wharves are 341,600 square feet of transit sheds and 225,370 square feet of storage warehouses. There are two privately owned cold-storage warehouses located on Mormon Channel with a total storage capacity of 1,582,750 1642 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 cubic feet, of which 1,124,750 cubic feet are available for public storage. The port owns and operates the belt-line railroad, which con- nects with three transcontinental railroads and serves all facili- ties in the area; highway trucks are afforded easy access by paved streets and roads. An excellent system of improved high- ways connects the port with the Pacific coastal areas, as well as the surrounding agricultural area. Downstream from Stockton, the traffic is accommodated by bank landings and sheds, except at Antioch and near Pittsburg, where there are wharves for shallow- and deep-draft vessels. The terminal transfer facilities at the public ocean terminal of the port of Stockton are adequate for the present and immediate future. There has been a sustained annual growth of traffic in and out of the port of Stockton. The turning basin enlargement, accomplished in 1955, facilitates the use of the loading and stor- age facilities added by the port of Stockton during recent years to accommodate the greatly increased tonnage handled by the port. The port has expanded its loading and storage facilities to handle iron ore brought in by rail from Nevada; it is expected that this item will reach 1,000,000 tons a year. It is expected that con- struction of the remaining facilities authorized by the 1950 River and Harbor Flood Control Act will be required in the relatively near future to accommodate the additional requirements of indus- try and commerce. The total tonnage along the project channels, including the port of Stockton, in calendar year 1958 was 3,941,547 tons. Of this amount, over 2,400,000 tons was deep-draft cargo and the balance barge traffic. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Engi- neering, including surveying and mapping, design office studies and preparation of contract plans and specifications, was con- tinued during the fiscal year by hired labor. Stone protection along Stockton Deep Water Channel, San Joaquin and Contra Costa Counties, was accomplished by contract. Maintenance: Dredging operations by contract clamshell dredge and by Government-owned hopper dredge Davison resulted in the removal of 47,000 and 113,000 cubic yards of material respectively, at four critical locations between Stockton and Pittsburg. Construction of spoil retention levee near the Stock- ton harbor was accomplished by contract. Operations during the year also included condition surveys of the channel at various locations, maintenance of gages and gage readings, preparation of plans and specifications, and miscel- laneous field reconnaissance and reports, all of which were per- formed by hired labor. Total costs during the fiscal year were $242,434 from Federal funds, of which $111,035 was for new work and $131,399 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 45 percent complete. Construction of the project was initiated in December 1877; further modifications were subsequently RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1643 authorized and accomplished. The 9-foot channel up to Stock- ton, authorized in 1910, was initiated in 1915 and completed in 1923. Improvement of Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake, authorized in 1912, was accomplished in 1914. Dredging of the 26-foot channel up to Stockton, authorized in 1927, was initiated in 1930 and completed in 1933. The original 30-foot channel up to Stockton, which was included in the public works program under the National Industrial Recovery Act and subsequently authorized in 1935, was accomplished during 1934 and 1935. Dredging of the widened 30-foot channel, authorized in 1937, was initiated in 1938 and completed in October 1940; Mormon Channel was dredged from the junction with Stockton Deep Water Channel to a point near Washington Street Bridge at Stockton in 1948. All work authorized prior to May 1950 is complete except for the dredging above the south line of Main Street in Stockton to a depth of 9 feet; local interests have advised that dredging above the south line of Main Street will not be required. Enlargement of the existing turning basin, authorized in 1950, was accom- plished in 1955. Bank protection, initiated in fiscal year 1957, was completed in May 1960. All bank protection under the 1950 modi- fication has been transferred to the Port of Stockton for mainte- nance. The 1950 modification is about 16 percent complete. The turning basin in Stockton Channel is 960 feet wide and has a length of 1,900 feet along the northerly edge, tapering to 1,100 feet along the southerly edge. The Delta Region of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River is ideal for fishing and aquatic sports and is within reach of the large population in and about the San Francisco Bay Area. Although no attempt has been made to determine the numbers of craft or persons participating, recreational use is considered substantial; probably in excess of 10 million visitor-days annually. The controlling depth from mouth of the river in Suisun Bay to Mormon Channel, 41 miles, is 30 feet; thence to Edison Street, three-quarters of a mile, 22 feet; thence to head of navigation at Center Street, one-half mile, 9 feet; and 9 feet in Fremont Channel and McLeod Lake. A 9-foot depth is available in Mor- mon Channel, up to Main Street, 0.9 mile; thence 6 feet to Wash- ington Street. The remaining section of channel has been filled under permit by the city of Stockton to the head of navigation at Center Street. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. The channel is navigable during the entire year. The river, from its junction with Stockton Channel to the Moss- dale Bridge (16 miles), usually has a controlling depth of 3 feet from April to June, inclusive, and from Mossdale Bridge to Hills Ferry (70 miles), head of navigation, the usual controlling depth is 3 feet from April to June, inclusive. Navigation in the section above the San Joaquin Bridge (Southern Pacific Railroad cross- ing), at Mossdale, is impracticable in the low stages after June. New work remaining to complete the project consists of the construction authorized by the River and Harbor Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, except for enlargement of the existing turning basin, including completion of levee construction and 1644 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 bank protection, for modification of the navigation project. The project is scheduled for completion after fiscal year 1967.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location. This is an artificial cut located about 3 miles east of Stockton, Calif., which extends from Mormon Slough north- westerly 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 project provides for diverting the waters of Mormon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels for the purpose of preventing debris deposits in the navigable portions of Stockton and Mormon Channels. The re- sults were obtained by construction of: (1) A diversion dam across Mormon Slough 3 miles east of Stockton; (2) a diverting canal 150 feet wide, with average cut of 8 feet, extending 4.63 miles to the north branch of the Calaveras River; (3) the enlarge- ment of the Calaveras River to cross sectional area of 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and (4) a levee along the left banks of the diverting canal and Calaveras River, using material excavated for the channel en- largement. The height of the levee is limited by necessary railway and highway crossings to about 3 feet above the contem- plated 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 project, completed in 1923 was $253,151. The average maintenance cost during the past five years was $4,098. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and An- nual Report for 1899, p. 3188). The latest published map is in House Document 256, 63rd Congress, 1st session. Local cooperation.Fully complied with. For details, see Annual Report for 1922, page 1816. The bridges across the canal were built by the United States, but they have been maintained and four have been rebuilt by the local authorities. Total estimated cost for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the proj- ect authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amounts to $30,700 (Dec. 1898). Terminal facilities. See report on San Joaquin River, Calif. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Opera- tions during the year consisted of condition inspections and studies, field reconnaissance, and miscellaneous reports, all of which were accomplished by hired labor. In addition, snagging and clearing of Mormon Channel Diverting Canal was accom- plished by hired labor and rented equipment and minor bank pro- tection and patrol-road maintenance was accomplished by hired labor. Total cost during the fiscal year was $5,616. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of new work was initiated in November 1908; under this initial construction phase, work along the Calaveras River section was completed in October 1909, and the canal section of the diverting canal in Sep- 1646 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 tember 1910. The project was then considered to be about 86 percent complete; no further new work was accomplished until fiscal year 1922. During fiscal years 1922 and 1923 additional new work was accomplished in the Calaveras River section to complete the project. Most of the silt formerly deposited in Stockton and Mormon Channels is diverted therefrom by this canal, obviating serious inconveniences to navigation and ex- pensive annual dredging. Annual maintenance activities, consisting of the provision of an adequate channel capacity for floodwaters by clearing brush and trees and construction of bank protection at critical locations to prevent slippage and erosion of banks caused by floodwaters, are required to preserve the effectiveness of the project. Total cost for the project to June 30, 1960, was $438,603, of which $253,151 was for new work and $185,452 for maintenance.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF., FROM COLLINSVILLE TO SHASTA DAM Location. The Sacramento River rises in the Trinity Moun- tains in north-central California, flows in a general southerly direction about 374 miles and empties into Suisun Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay at Collinsville, Calif. The works covered by this improvement are on the Sacramento River and tributaries FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1647 from Collinsville to Shasta Dam, about mile 312. The drainage area above Rio Vista is 26,500 square miles. (See U.S. Geologi- cal Survey quadrangles of the area for Sacramento River and upper Butte Basin; Flournoy and Fruto quadrangles for Black Butte Reservoir; and the Tuscan Buttes, Tehama, Redding, and Hooker quadrangles for Table Mountain Reservoir). Existing project. The improvement of Sacramento River and tributaries, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam, was authorized as a unit of comprehensive plan for flood control and other related purposes in the Sacramento River Basin. Levee and channel improvements: The active elements of the project comprise con- struction of bank protection and incidental channel improvements on Sacramento River between Chico Landing and Red Bluff; the enlargement of existing levees on Sacramento River between vi- cinity of Moulton Weir and Ord Bend; the construction of new levees from the present levee terminus to vicinity of Chico Land- ing; construction of Chico Landing Weir; the extension of the existing Moultion Weir; the enlargement of existing levees in Sutter, Tisdale, and Sacramento Bypasses and a portion of Yolo Bypass. The project also contemplates flood-plain zoning above Chico Landing to assure maintenance of present floodway areas. In addition to the above, the project includes levee construction and/or channel enlargement on the following minor tributaries of the Sacramento River below Red Bluff: Antelope Creek; Chico and Mud Creeks, and Sandy Gulch; Butte and Little Chico Creeks; Cherokee Canal; Elder Creek; Deer Creek (Tehama County); Thomes Creek, and Willow Creek. These improvements are for the purpose of flood control. The improvement provides for approximately 265 miles of channel improvement and about 335 miles of levees with an average height of 12 feet. A freeboard of 3 feet will be provided by the river levees and 5 to 6 feet by the bypass levees. The im- provement also provides for approximately 5.7 miles of bank protection and 90 acres of clearing and snagging in areas critical and economically feasible at the time work is initiated. Construction of the levee and channel improvements, major and minor tributaries, authorized in 1944, was initiated in May 1949 and is about 18 percent complete; the 1958 modification, Chico Landing to Red Bluff, has not been initiated; the entire project is about 10 percent complete. The above construction supplements the program of levee improvements which are being accomplished pursuant to the Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917, as amended by subsequent acts, including the Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, and which are reported by California Debris Commission under im- provement No. 4 "Sacramento River, Calif., Flood Control." The project is an integral part of the overall plan for flood control and other purposes in the Sacramento River Basin. It is designed either to supplement certain of the proposed reservoirs by directing or confining the regulated floodflows to nondamag- ing channel sections or stages, or to reduce or alleviate the local flood hazard along streams on which no impoundment is planned 1648 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 at this time. The areas affected by the active portion of the project improvements, authorized in 1944, include the towns of Chico, Willows, and smaller communities, and about 112,000 acres of agricultural lands. In addition, limited protection will be pro- vided to Upper Butte Basin. In conjunction with authorized reservoirs, these improvements will provide flood protection to some areas along the main river and to Highway 99E and 99W, to the main lines of the Southern Pacific Railroad, to other State and county highways, and feeder railroads Construction of the bank protection and incidental channel im- provements between Chico Landing and Red Bluff, authorized in 1958, will greatly improve the flow conditions along the river and help to stabilize the main river channel. The Sacramento River, for many years, has meandered back and forth in its course from Red Bluff to Chico Landing, continually eroding fertile areas and depositing the material in its lower channel and flood plain. The bank protection and incidental channel improvements will alle- viate the erosion problem and will prevent destruction of about 40 acres of arable lands per year on the average. In addition, it will prevent the washing into navigation and flood channels of about 200,000 cubic yards of material per year which would have to be removed, resulting in a substantial reduction in channel maintenance costs. The authorization also provides for the construction of the Black Butte Reservoir, an earthfill dam, with a maximum height of 140 feet, to create a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 160,000 acre-feet for flood control and water conservation pur- poses. The improvement is located in Tehama and Glenn Counties about 9 miles westerly of Orland, Calif., on Stony Creek, a tribu- tary entering the Sacramento River at mile 190. The reservoir will provide flood protection from flooding by Stony Creek to the towns of Orland and Hamilton City, to a transcontinental highway, to a transcontinental railroad, to im- portant food-processing plants, and to about 64,000 acres of agri- cultural land lying along the lower reaches of Stony Creek west of Sacramento River and, in addition, will provide about 56,800 acre-feet of new water annually for irrigation and related pur- poses. This project, in conjunction with the levee and channel improvements of the comprehensive plan, will help reduce flooding along the Sacramento River and in Butte Basin. Construction of this unit was initiated in March 1960; the project is about 19 percent complete. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (July 1960) of the principal features is as follows: FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1649 Estimated cost Project Lands and dam- Construction ages (including Total relocations) Levee and channel improvements, Sacra- mento River and major and minor tribu- taries 1 .... . ...... $26, 000, 000 .................... $26, 000, 000 Chico Landing to Red Bluff ......... ...... 1,930, 000 ..... 1,930,000 Black Butte Reservoir ..................... 9, 930, 000 $3,070, 000 13, 000, 000 Total ...................... ........... 37, 860, 000 3,070, 000 40, 930, 000 1 Active units of Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries. The construction of the necessary work for improvements of Upper Butte Basin, authorized by the 1950 Flood Control Act, exclusive of the work applicable to the extension of Moulton Weir which has been retained in the active portion, has been deferred for restudy and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this unit was last revised in July 1954 and was esti- mated to be $3,530,000 for construction. Levee construction in Lower Butte Basin and in Lower Yolo Bypass, exclusive of work applicable to the extension of Moulton Weir which has been retained in the active portion, are con- sidered to be inactive and are also excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The costs of these units were last revised in July 1954 and were estimated to be $7,286,500 for Lower Butte Basin and $3,733,500 for Lower Yolo Bypass for construction. In addition, Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Reservoir is also considered to be inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this project unit, including the power facili- ty, was last revised in July 1954 and was estimated to be $77,200,000, of which $4,417,900 was for lands and damages including relocations and $72,782,100 for construction. Operation and maintenance of the levee and channel improve- ments after completion will be the responsibility of local interests. Operation and maintenance of the Black Butte Reservoir will be the responsibility of the Federal Government. Local interests will reimburse the United States for conservation accomplish- ments of the reservoir. The improvement was adopted by the Flood Control Act of De- cember 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map), which authorized to be appropriated for the initiation of the project the sum of $15 million; further amendment by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 367, 81st Cong., 1st sess.), included construction and monetary authorization for the necessary works of improvement for the protection of the Upper Butte Basin, currently deferred for restudy. The improvement was further modified by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958, to provide construction and monetary authorization for bank protection and incidental channel improve- ments on Sacramento River between Chico Landing and Red Bluff. Flood-plain zoning above Chico Landing as a responsibility of 1650 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 local interests was also included in this authorization. Additional monetary authorization of $17 million was also provided by this act. Total monetary authorization available, exclusive of pre-° authorization studies from General Investigations appropriations, amounts to $35,500,000. Local cooperation. Levee and channel improvements, Sacra- mento River and major and minor tributaries: Local interests are required to provide all lands, easements, and rights-of-way neces- sary for the project; bear the expense of all necessary utility changes and modifications; hold and save the United States free from claims for damages resulting from construction and opera- tion of the project works; and maintain and operate at their own expense all flood-control and bank-protection works after com- pletion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945 and instructed the Reclamation Board of the State of California to carry out the required local cooperation. By letter dated March 4, 1945, the Reclamation Board furnished the Sacramento District an opinion by the State Attorney General that the assurances furnished by the State by chapter 656 of the Statutes of 1939, State of California, for the Sacramento River flood-control project were sufficient to cover this project. On March 22, 1948, the Chief of Engineers ac- cepted this opinion as satisfactory for the required assurances. The Reclamation Board has furnished all rights-of-way re- quired to date and has indicated that it will furnish all rights-of- way required as needed for future construction. Units of the project are transferred to the State of California for maintenance and operation as they are completed. The 1950 modification, Upper Butte Basin, is currently deferred for restudy. Chico Landing to Red Bluff: Local cooperation requirements are as detailed above for major and minor tributaries. In addi- tion, local interests are required to assume the responsibility for flood-plain zoning. The State of California enacted legislation which officially adopted the project under chapter 1912, Statutes of 1959, and authorized the State Reclamation Board to give the required assurances. Formal assurances have not yet been re- quested from local interests. Total estimated costs (July 1960) for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorizations, including required non-Federal contributions, are as follows: Project Amount Levee and channel improvements, Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries. 1.. 2 $7,000,000 Chico Landing to Red Bluff.......... ................... .... .................... 46, 000 Total ................ ................................................ 7, 046, 000 1 Active units of Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries. 2 Of this amount, approximately $1,960,000 has been expended or committed through June 30, 1960. FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1651 Maintenance and operation of the levee and channel improve- ments are the responsibility of local interests. The latest esti- mates (July 1960) of the costs to local interests are: Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries (active units), $253,000, and Chico Landing to Red Bluff, $31,200. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non- Federal contributions, amount to $1,787,000 (1954) for the Upper Butte Basin improvement, which is currently deferred for re- study. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $2,285,000 (1954) for Low- er Butte Basin and $222,000 (1954) for Lower Yolo Bypass. These units are considered to be inactive. Black Butte Dam and Reservoir: Local interests are required to make payment to the United States for the conservation fea- tures of the project, but no local cooperation is required for construction of the dam and reservoir. Chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of California, officially adopted the project. The State of California enacted legislation in April 1958 authorizing the State to participate and cooperate in multiple- purpose water projects authorized for construction by the Corps, and appropriated $10 million for such purpose. General authority of the State Department of Water Resources to contract with the United States in vested by section 11500, of chapter IV, division 6 of the California Water Code. A contract between the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the State of California for repayment of the cost of the conservation storage was executed on March 2, 1960. In general, the contract provides that the State will repay costs not covered by subsidiary contracts between water users and the Bureau of Reclamation. The State assumes full responsibility for repayment 7 years after notice is given by the contracting officer that the project is avail- able for storage or delivery of water. Subsidiary contracts for water for municipal and industrial use are subject to approval by the Secretary of the Army. Funds for meeting the repayment responsibilities of the State of California were appropriated by the State legislature in 1959 and 1960. Total estimated costs (July 1960) for repayment for conserva- tion functions under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $5,187,000 for first cost and $60,200 for annual costs.

OROVILLE RESERVOIR, FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location. The Feather River rises in the northern portion of the Sierra Nevada. The three main forks flow in a southwesterly direction in deep, narrow gorges for about 100 miles to their con- fluence at the foothill line near Oroville, Calif. The main stream flows thence southerly for about 70 miles and empties into the Sacramento River at Verona about 20 miles above the city of Sacramento. Drainage area above Oroville at the foothill line is 3,611 square miles, mostly mountainous. (See U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of the area.) Existing project. The Federal project for flood control con- sists of a Federal contribution toward the first cost of the Oroville Reservoir on the Feather River, proposed for construction by the State of California. Construction of the 3,500,000 acre-foot Oro- ville Reservoir will inundate the Bidwell Bar Dam site, which dam was proposed as a Federal flood-control project in House Document 367, 81st Congress, 1st session. In that document the FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1655 Chief of Engineers recommended authorization of a reservoir with storage capacity of 1,200,000 acre-feet at Bidwell Bar site on the Feather River or storage at a suitable alternate site. The Fed- eral contribution will be based on provision for flood-control operation of a portion of Oroville Reservoir, the amount of the contribution to be determined by the Secretary of the Army in cooperation with the State of California. The dam, a multiple-purpose storage project on Feather River, in about 51/2 miles upstream from Oroville, is being constructed by the State of California as the initial unit of the comprehensive California Water Plan. The project will provide a high degree of flood protection to, the cities of Marysville, Yuba City and Oroville, Calif., to many smaller communities; to about 284,000 acres of highly developed farm land below the dam; and to important highway and railroad routes. Virtually all of the flood-control accomplishments from the project consist of reduction in flood damages. The latest approved estimate of Federal contribution toward new work (July 1960) is $77,895,000 including preauthorization studies. The actual amount is to be determined from studies which were substantially completed during fiscal year 1960. The latest Federal estimate cost (July 1960) for conduct of reservoir regulation studies and cooperation with the State of California in determination of functional requirements for the flood-control aspects of the authorized State project is $75,000. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958. The authorization act provided that unless con- struction of the Oroville Dam and Reservoir is undertaken within 4 years of the date of enactment of the authorization, the authority for the monetary contribution contained therein shall expire. Local cooperation. In consideration of a Federal contribution toward the first cost of Oroville Reservoir, the State of California will provide a specified flood-control reservation, enter into an agreement with the Department :of the Army providing for opera- tion of Oroville Reservoir in such manner as will produce the flood-control benefits upon which the monetary contribution is predicated, and operate the flood-control reservation in accord- ance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. The authorizing act specified that the authority for a Federal contribution would expire unless construction of the dam and reservoir was started prior to July 1962. The State is proceeding with construction of Oroville Dam as the initial project of the California water plan. The State legislature ap- propriated $9 million during 1956 for advance planning on the project. Contracts amounting to $42,425,000 have been awarded for the relocation of highways and railroads affected by the proj- ect. During fiscal year 1959 the State legislature appropriated $83, million for the water-development program and authorized transfer of $172 million from other funds to be made available for such program. That same legislature approved submission to State voters in calendar year 1960 of a $1,750,000,000 bond 1656 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 issue to finance a California water-development program until 1985, such funds to be applied principally to the Feather River Project. In addition, the legislature earmarked for the water- development program funds to be made available from tidelands revenue, estimated at about $15 million per year. Total estimated first cost to the State of California of all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $428,582,000 (July 1960) for construction of Oroville Dam and powerplant and afterbay, assuming $61,725,000 Federal contribution. Of this amount, approximately $42,400,000 has been expended or commited through June 30, 1960, primarily for relocation of highway and rail facilities. Annual maintenance operation, and replacement costs are estimated at about $4,400,000 (July (1960). Operations during fiscal year. Preparation of the review report and cost allocation studies were continued by hired labor; the review report was substantially completed during the fiscal year. Total cost for the project during the fiscal year was $27,961, of which $357 were for preauthorization studies and $27,604 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning ac- complished to date has been primarily the preparation of the review report and cost allocation studies. The State of California has initiated relocation of the highway and rail facilities. Total costs to June 30, 1960, for the project were $102,604, of which $75,000 were for preauthorization studies and $27,604 for new work.

MIDDLE CREEK, CALIF. Location. The project lies north of Clear Lake in Lake County, Calif. Middle Creek is one of the principal tributaries of Clear Lake and enters the lake at its northern end. Scott and Clover Creeks are tributaries of Middle Creek, draining areas to the west and east, respectively. Alley Creek is an important tributary of Clover Creek. Total area drained by FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1657 Middle Creek and its tributaries amounts to approximately 200 square miles, varying in elevation from about 1,300 to 4,800 feet. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle for the Lakeport area.) Existing project. The project, for the purpose of flood control, is in the vicinity of Upper Lake, California. The improvement provides for enlargement of existing levees and construction of additional levees and incidental channel improvement along the lower 7 miles of Middle Creek and along tributary streams; construction of a pumping plant for disposal of interior drainage; and construction of a channel about 4,000 feet long, with a capacity of 8,000 cubic feet per second, to divert Clover Creek flood flows around the town of Upper Lake. Construction includes levees with a total length of about 13 miles with an average height of 8 feet, 9,400 feet of bank protection, and about 7 miles of channel improvement. This project will provide flood protection to the town of Upper Lake and to about 4,000 acres of highly developed agricultural lands in the valley above Clear Lake. Clear Lake and the sur- rounding region are important recreational areas for northern California residents. Two State highways and numerous county roads traverse the project area. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (July 1960) is $2,650,000 for construction. Construction was initiated in July 1958 and is about 54 percent complete. Operation and maintenance of the improvement after com- pletion will be the responsibility of local interests. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954. (See H. Doc. 367, 81st Cong., 1st sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. The project was officially adopted by chapter 1949, Statutes of 1955, State of California, and provided that the State Reclamation Board would furnish the required assur- ances of local cooperation. Chapter 1396, Statues of 1955, State of California, authorized the Lake County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to cooperate with the United States Government and the State in construction of the project. Local interests are required to (1) furnish all lands, easements, and rights-of-way; (2) bear the expense of utility relocations and modifications; (3) hold and save the United States free from damage; and (4) maintain and operate the project works after completion in accordance with instructions prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Assurance of local cooperation were accepted by Sacramento District on November 25, 1957, for the Secretary of the Army. All rights-of-way required for construction have been furnished. Utility relocations are being accomplished concurrently with Federal construction and under the same contract, with funds provided by local interests. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non- Federal contributions, amount to $1,340,000 (July 1960). Of 1658 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 this amount, approximately 98 percent ($1,312,000) has been expended or committed to June 30, 1960. Maintenance and operation of the project works after com- pletion will be the responsibility of local interests. The latest estimate (July 1960), of the cost to local interests for annual maintenance, operation, and the replacements is $15,600. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design studies and preparation of plans and specifications were continued. Levee construction and channel improvement up- stream from the Bloody Island pumping plant, initiated in fiscal year 1959 by continuing contract, was completed. In addition, construction was accomplished for local interests at their expense in connection with the levee construction and channel improvement work. Total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $799,536, of which $646,525 was from Federal funds and $153,011 from contributed funds, other (pursuant to require- ments of local cooperation). Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in fiscal year 1958, and is about 54 percent complete.

CALAVERAS RIVER AND LITTLEJOHN CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING HOGAN AND FARMINGTON RESERVOIRS, CALIF. 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 directly, or through various sloughs, in the vicinity of Stockton, Calif. The Littlejohn Creek group drains 487 square miles, of which 184 miles are below the base of the foothills; the watershed is located in Calaveras, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Counties. The three principal stream systems of the group are, from south to north, Lone Tree Creek, Littlejohn Creek, and Duck Creek. This group is bounded on the south by Stanislaus River watershed, and on the north by the Calaveras River group. The Calaveras River group drains 173 square miles below the base of the foothills and 560 square miles above. It is located in Calaveras and San Joaquin Coun- ties, and is bounded on the south by Littlejohn Creek group watershed, and on the north by Mokelumne River watershed. The two principal streams of the group are, from south to north, Calaveras River and Bear Creek. The valley lands are essen- tially a delta area in which the streams of both groups are. more or less interconnected by creeks and swales. (See U.S. Geo- logical Survey Valley Springs quadrangle for Hogan Reservoir area and Trigo and Bachelor Valley quadrangles for Farmington Reservior area.) Existing project. This consists of: a. Construction of Farm- ington Dam and Reservoir, with a gross storage capacity of 52,000 acre-feet, a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Littlejohn Creek, two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon Slough, and en- largement of downstream Littlejohn Creek Channels for the ex- clusive purpose of flood control. The reservoir is formed by an earthfill dam with a maximum height of about 58 feet and a length of about 7,800 feet; it is located on Littlejohn Creek 31/2 miles upstream from Farmington and about 18 miles easterly of Stockton, Calif. The outlet works are located in the right abut- ment and consist of two rectangular concrete conduits, each 6 feet by 9 feet, controlled by slide gates, and a stilling basin. A concrete broad-crested weir approximately 95 feet long, located in the right abutment, serves as the spillway. Construction of the main dam and spillway was completed in June 1951. The Duck Creek diversion, located approximately 1 mile east of Farm- ington, comprises an earth dike across Duck Creek with two pipe 1660 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 outlets, an overflow concrete weir adjacent thereto, and a diver- sion channel approximately 5,014 feet long with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet per second to Littlejohn Creek. The two dikes across the downstream channels are of earthfill construction and are located approximately 3 and 8 miles, respectively, west of Farmington. Duck Creek channel improvements were com- pleted in November 1951. The Littlejohn Creek downstream channel improvement comprises an enlarged and improved chan- nel from the vicinity of Farmington to French Camp. The im- provement, consisting of clearing, channel excavation, and minor levee construction, was completed in April 1955. These improve- ments provide flood protection for about 58,000 acres of agricul- tural land, suburban areas, and industrial sites in the area immediately southeast of Stockton. The latest estimate of Federal cost for new work (Sept. 1955) is $3,700,300, of which $1,140,400 is for lands and damages in- cluding relocations and $2,559,900 for construction (including $13,300 for preauthorization studies). Maintenance and operation of the dam, reservior and appur- tenant gages are the responsibility of the Federal Government. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $7,979. Maintenance and operation of the channel improvements are responsibility of local interests. b. The New Hogan Reservoir provides for construction of a dam on Calaveras River to create a reservoir with a gross capac- ity of 325,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, and other water conservation purposes. The dam will be a combination rock and earthfill structure with maximum height of 200 feet and length of about 1,960 feet, together with four rolled earthfill dikes having a combined length of about 1,355 feet and a maxi- mum height of 18 feet. A gated spillway will be located about 600 feet south of the left abutment of the dam. The improvement will be located on the Calaveras River, about 28 miles northeast of Stockton, Calif., and below the site of the present small Hogan Dam, which is owned and operated by the city of Stockton for the partial flood protection of that city. Construction has not been initiated. The project will provide flood protection to an area of about 46,000 acres of highly developed agricultural land along the Calaveras River; to about 14,000 acres of urban and suburban land in and adjacent to the city of Stockton which is now inade- quately protected against major floods; to main highways and railroad lines and to industries and important military installa- tions within the Stockton area. In addition, it will provide about 71,800 acre-feet of new and reregulated water supply annually for irrigation and related purposes, including provision of a potential municipal water source for Stockton and its industries. The project will provide important recreational facilities for residents of the city of Stockton and surrounding areas. The initial overlook area will be constructed by the Federal Govern- ment. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work FLOOD CONTROL- SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1661 (July 1960) is $18 million, of which $1,055,000 is for lands and damages, including relocations, and $16,945,000 for construction. Operation and maintenance of the project will be the responsi- bility of the Federal Government. Local interests will reimburse the United States for the conservation accomplishments of the project. c. The levee and channel improvement of Bear Creek, San Joaquin County, provides for construction of about 40 miles of low levees and 19 miles of channel improvement for flood-control purposes. The project extends from about 2 miles south of the town of Lockeford, Calif., along Bear Creek to Disappointment Slough, a delta channel which connects with San Joaquin River, Mile 28.5. Construction has not been initiated. The improvement will provide a high degree of flood protection to an area which is flooded, at least in part, on an average of 3 out of 4 years. The area to be protected includes about 30,000 acres of highly developed orchards, vineyards, and row croplands; suburban areas adjacent to the city of Stockton which are now unprotected against all but minor flows; and main highways, railways, and industries. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (July 1960) is $2,700,000, for construction. Operation and maintenance of the project will be the respon- sibility of local interests. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work of the principal features of the entire project is as follows: Estimated cost 1 Project Lands and Construction damages (includ- Total ing relocations) Farmington Dam and Reservoir 2......... $2, 559, 900 $1, 140, 400 $3, 700, 300 New Hogan Dam and Reservoir 3.......... 16, 945, 000 1,055, 000 18, 000, 000 Bear Creek, San Joaquin County 3......... 2, 700, 000 o 2, 700, 000 Total ............................... 22, 204, 900 2, 195, 400 24, 400, 300 1 Includes the following amounts for preauthorization studies: Farmington Reservoir, $18,800; New Hogan Reservoir, $25,000; and Bear Creek, San Joaquin County, $6,000. 2 September 1955 price index. 8 July 1960 price index. 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.) Recommended modifications of project. In House Document 367, 81st Congress, 1st session, a plan of improvement was recom- mended 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 1662 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 regulated flows to leveed channels. The estimate of Federal cost for new work (1948) is $52,000. A review report for flood control on Mormon Slough and the diverting canal was authorized in July 1956. Funds for this report have not been made available to date. Local oooperation. a. Farmington Dam and Reservoir: None was required for construction of Farmington Dam and Reservoir. All requirements have been complied with for the channel im- provements of this project unit. For further details see Annual Report for 1954, page 1380. The Duck Creek diversion structures and dikes were transferred to the State of California for mainte- nance and operation in June 1952; the improved Littlejohn Creek channel was transferred in October 1957. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation for the Duck Creek and downstream Littlejohn Creek improve- ment, under terms of the project authorization, including re- quired non-Federal contributions, amounted to $319,300 (1955). b. New Hogan Dam and Reservoir: Local interests are required to pay an equitable part of the project first cost, and of the annual maintenance and operation charges, for conservation use of the project; maintain the channel of Mormon Slough downstream to the diverting canal to the existing channel capacity of about 6,000 cubic feet per second for disposal of excess water in the Calaveras River service area; and transfer without cost to the United States the existing dam and related lands lying within the taking line for the New Hogan Reservoir. The State of California officially adopted the project by Chapter 1514, Statutes of 1945, State of California. Legislation was enacted in April 1958 which authorized the State to participate and cooperate in multiple-purpose water projects authorized for construction by the Corps, and appropriated $10,000,000 for such purpose. General authority of the State Department of Water Resources to contract with the United States is vested by section 11500, of chapter IV, division 6 of the California Water Code. The project has been included in the State's Central Valley proj- ect, enabling the State to enter into a repayment contract with the United States. By letter dated May 21, 1959, the Reclamation Board, on behalf of the State of California, furnished to the District Engineer assurances that the Mormon Slough Channel from Bellota down- stream to the diverting canal would be maintained to provide the existing channel capacity of 6,000 second-feet. The contract between the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation and the California State Department of Water Resources, the re- sponsible local interest, for repayment of the cost of the con- servation storage was executed on March 2, 1960. The Bureau will administer the contract in accordance with Reclamation Law. In general, the contract provides that the State will repay costs not covered by subsidiary contracts between water users and the Bureau of Reclamation. The State assumes full responsibility for repayment 7 years after notice is given by the contracting officer that the project is available for storage or delivery of water. FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1663 Subsidiary contracts for water for municipal and industrial use are subject to approval by the Secretary of the Army. Funds for meeting the repayment responsibilities of the State of California were appropriated by the State Legislature in 1959 and 1960. 'The city of Stockton, as the present owner of the existing Hogan Dam and Reservoir and related lands, is required to trans- fer without cost to the United States the existing dam and all city-owned lands lying within the taking line for the New Hogan Reservoir. Rights-of-entry required for construction of the main dam and appurtenances were furnished June 20, 1960, by the city of Stockton. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation for New Hogan project under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $244,000 (July 1960), comprising the market value of the city-owned lands over and above those already utilized for the existing reservoir. The non-Federal share (July 1960) of the cost allocated to the conservation functions is $6,516,000 for the first cost and $59,000 for the annual costs. Local interests have expressed an interest in taking over the planning, development and management of the public recreational uses for the shoreline areas and have engaged a planning con- sultant for the preparation of recreational studies. Means of coordinating construction work on the project with the develop- ment of recreational facilities were discussed with local interests at a meeting May 25, 1960, in Stockton, Calif. c. Bear Creek Channel, San Joaquin County: Local interests will be required to: (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 altera- tions; (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. The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514, Statutes of 1945, State of California. Informal assurances have been furnished by the Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District that the provisions of local coopera- tion will be supplied. Total estimated cost for all requirements of local cooperation for the Bear Creek improvement, under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $2,400,000 (July 1960). No funds have been expended nor committed through June 30, 1960. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: a. Farm- ington Reservoir: Minor costs in connection with land acquisition were incurred during the fiscal year. b. New Hogan Reservoir: Engineering and design, including surveys and explorations, preparation of design memoranda, and preparation of contract plans and specifications, was accomplished by hired labor. An architect-engineer contract, awarded in fiscal 1664 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 year 1959, for surveys, design and preparation of plans and specifications for Calaveras County road relocation, was com- pleted. A continuing contract for relocation of the county road was initiated during the fiscal year. Contracts were awarded for relocation and alteration of S.P.R.R. facilities and of P.T. & T. telephone lines. Real estate acquisition was initiated. c. Bear Creek (levee and channel improvement): None. Maintenance: Farmington Reservoir: Maintenance of the dam and outlet works and service facilities, including condition and operation studies, was accomplished by hired labor. Operation of the project was accomplished, as required by hydrologic con- ditions, under contract between San Joaquin County and the United States. Runoff in the Littlejohn Creek basin was below normal for the year. Maximum flow of Duck Creek Diversion was 280 cubic feet per second on February 8, causing a corresponding peak flow of 660 cubic feet per second at Littlejohn Creek at Farming- ton. Maximum storage for the year in Farmington Reservoir was 1,850 acre-feet and occurred on February 11, 1960.

Duck Creek channel improvement was completed in November 1951; and channel improvement on south Little- john Creek was completed in May 1955. The reservoir, Duck Creek diversion facilities, and channel improvement of Littlejohn Creek are in operation. Condition of the dam and appurtenances is good. Approximately 2 miles of road are maintained by the Corps. Condition of the road is good. There are no recreation facilities and no public-use areas. All work on the project has been completed except for final settlement on one real estate action now pending in court. Total cost of new work for Farmington project to June 30, 1960, was $3,788,957, of which $3,680,901 was from United States funds (including $13,300 for preauthorization studies) and $108,056 from contributed funds, other (pursuant to require- ments of local cooperation). Total cost of maintenance for Federal operation and mainte- nance of the Farmington Reservoir and appurtenant gages was $59,985 from United States funds between July 1952 and June 30, 1960. b. New Hogan Reservoir: Planning funds for the project were allocated initially in fiscal year 1945; planning work, halted FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1665 in fiscal year 1952 because of the Korean conflict, was resumed in fiscal year 1957. Construction was initiated in May 1960 with the relocation of Calaveras County road by continuing contract. Contracts were awarded late in fiscal year 1960 for relocation and alteration of S.P.R.R. facilities and of P.T. & T. telephone lines. The main dam contract is scheduled to be advertised early in fiscal year 1961. Real estate acquisition has been initiated. Total cost of new work for New Hogan Reservoir to June 30, 1960, was $1,189,402 (including $25,000 for preauthorization studies) from Federal funds. c. Bear Creek (levee and channel improvement): Advance planning on the project was initiated in fiscal year 1947 and suspended in fiscal year 1951 awaiting agreement with local interests regarding the plan of improvement. The project was classified "Deferred for Restudy" in fiscal year 1954. A review report, completed during fiscal year 1959 and adopted by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors in October 1959, recommended retention of the authorized plan of levee and channel improvement with increase in channel capacity. No work is currently in progress on the project; resumption of advance planning is scheduled for fiscal year 1961.

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 north- west and flows 149 miles to Mossdale at the head of the San Joaquin Delta, an extensive area of reclaimed tidal swamplands through which the river flows with numerous side channels and sloughs to join the Sacramento River at the head of Suisun Bay near Pittsburg. The river drains an area of 17,000 square miles. The Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers, two of the principal tributaries of the San Joaquin River, likewise have their 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 distrib- uting 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 benefit of light-draft naviga- tion in the delta channels. Existing project. This improvement provides for: a. Con- struction of New Melones Dam and Reservoir, on the Stanislaus River about 45 miles easterly of the city of Stockton, and about 25 miles upstream from the town of Oakdale, to create a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,100,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, and other related water conservation pur- poses. The dam will be located about three-quarters of a mile downstream from the existing Melones Dam, which is owned and operated by the Oakdale and South San Joaquin Irrigation Dis- tricts. It will be located in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties and will be of concrete gravity type about 473 feet high and 1,090 feet long, with a gated overflow spillway located in the center of the dam. Facilities will be provided in the dam for a proposed 84,000 kw. downstream powerplant to replace the existing power- plant. Construction has not been initiated. New Melones Reservoir will provide needed flood protection to 25,000 acres of highly developed agricultural lands lying along the valley reaches of Stanislaus River, and to suburban areas of small communities. In addition to flood-control benefits, the project will provide some 175,000 acre-feet of new water annually for irrigation and related purposes. It will also provide sufficient water for generation of about 321,000,000 kilowatt hours of FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1667 additional usable power when a powerplant is authorized. In conjunction with storage projects on Tuolumne River and the authorized levees for the San Joaquin River, the project will provide a high degree of flood protection to the bottom land along the San Joaquin River below the Stanislaus River and to tracts in the upper delta. Two mainline railroads, U. S. Highway No. 99 and important roads crossing the Stanislaus River, and railroads and highways crossing the San Joaquin River will be protected. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (1960) is $88,000,000, of which $16,370,000 is for lands and damages, including relocations, and $71,630,000 for construction, including hydroelectric generating facilities which are not yet authorized. Maintenance and operation of the dam and reservoir are the responsibility of the Federal Government. Local interests will reimburse the United States for the conservation accomplish- ments of the project. b. An expenditure toward the first cost of Cherry Valley Res- ervoir and the New Don Pedro Reservoir in the Tuolumne River Basin. Federal interest in the development is in the flood protec- tion to be afforded by reservoirs constructed by local interests, comprising the city and county of San Francisco and the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts; the Federal Government will contribute toward first cost of the construction an amount com- mensurate with the flood-control benefits to be derived. The Federal Government has contributed a total of $9,000,000 toward construction through June 30, 1960. Ultimately the flood pro- tection will be derived from the operation for flood control of at least 340,000 acre-feet of storage in the New Don Pedro Reser- voir, proposed for a total capacity tentatively set at about 2,030,000 acre-feet. First phase of the development by local interests was the con- struction, completed in fiscal year 1957, for municipal water supply, power generation, and other purposes of the Cherry Val- ley Reservoir, in the upper Tuolumne River watershed, about 25 miles east of the town of Sonora, Calif. The dam is a composite earth and rock embankment 315 feet high and about 2,500 feet long, which creates a reservoir with a capacity of 268,000 acre- feet below the spillway crest. The local interests operate this reservoir and the existing Hetch Hetchy and Don Pedro Reser- voirs for flood control until such time as the New Don Pedro Res- ervoir is constructed and placed in operation. This improvement is an integral unit of the authorized plan for flood control in the San Joaquin River Basin; operation of the Tuolumne River Res- ervoirs will provide flood protection to about 8,000 acres of agricultural lands and rural communities along the Tuolumne River. Construction of the second phase, New Don Pedro Reservoir, has not been initiated. The Tuolumne River Reservoirs will provide flood protection to about 8,000 acres of farmlands and rural communities in the Tuolumne River valley; and, in conjunction with the authorized 1668 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Lower San Joaquin Levees project, storage on the Stanislaus River, and flood-control operations of Friant Reservoir (USBR) on San Joaquin River, will assist in providing protection against floods to an area of 140,000 acres of croplands and small commu- nities in the San Joaquin River area. The Federal contribution toward the first cost of the completed Cherry Valley Reservoir was $9,280,646, including $280,646 in- cidental Federal costs and preauthorization studies in return for that portion of the ultimate contribution justified by the degree of flood protection provided. The latest approved estimate (July 1960) of the total Federal contribution toward the first cost of the New Don Pedro Reservoir is $3,170,000, including $170,000 incidental Federal costs and preauthorization studies. c. A levee and channel improvement project located on the San Joaquin River and major tributaries upstream of the delta near Stockton, Calif. It provides for improvement of the existing channel and levee system on the San Joaquin River upstream from the delta to the mouth of the Merced River, and on the lower reaches of the Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers by raising and strengthening the existing levees; construction of new levees; revetment of river banks where required; and removal of accu- mulated snags in the main river channel. The improvement also provides for the acquisition, by local interests, of flowage rights on natural overflow lands where necessary to insure continued effectiveness of channel storage on the San Joaquin River. Public Law 327, 84th Congress, 1st session, approved August 9, 1955, modified the project to permit local interests to construct levees and channel improvements upstream from Merced River, where required, in lieu of acquiring flowage easements. Construc- tion of such improvements is currently being done by the State of California. The State plan of improvement is being coordi- nated with that of the Federal Government. Construction of the Federal portion of the project was initiated in July 1956 and is 30 percent complete. This project is an integral unit of the overall plan for flood control and other purposes on the San Joaquin River and tribu- taries and supplements the reservoir units of the overall plan, involving flood-control storage on the Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers and in the existing Friant Reservoir on the upper San Joaquin River, by providing required channel capacity for regu- lated flows. Levee and channel improvements, together with the reservoir storage, will provide urgently needed flood protedtion to a rich agricultural area of approximately 140,000 acres, to numerous commercial and public installations, and to a suburban area adjacent to the city of Stockton. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (1960) is $13,100,000, for construction. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, (See H. R. Flood Control Committee Doc. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map) ; as modified by Public Law 327, 84th Congress, 1st session, approved August 9, 1955. FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1669 The 1944 Flood-Control Act authorized $8,000,000 for partial accomplishment of the project. Further monetary authoriza- tions of $2,500,000, $5,000,000, and $13,000,000 were provided for this project by Public Laws 235, 83d Congress, 1st session; 780, 83d Congress, 2d session; and 85-500, 85th Congress, 2d session, July 3, 1958, making a total monetary authorization of $28,500,000 available. Recommended modifications of project. In House Document 367, 81st Congress, 1st session, it was recommended that power- generating facilities, not now included in the authorized project, be constructed concurrently with and as part of New Melones Dam. For an initial installation of 41,000 kilowatts, the first cost was estimated (1948) at $4,727,000, and the annual cost of maintenance and operation at $194,400. In Senate Report No. 298, 83d Congress, the Committee on Public Works took note of the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers in House Docu- ment 367, 81st Congress, for an installation of 41,000 kilowatts of power-generating facilities and recommended a report on economic feasibility be prepared. This report was completed and submitted to the Senate Comnunittee on Public Works in July 1957. The report concluded that the New Melones project as presently authorized for flood control and conservation is eco- nomically justified but that the addition of power facilities, in- stalled capacity of 84,000 kilowatts, would more fully develop the water resources of the Stanislaus River. No authorization was enacted during fiscal year 1960. Local cooperation. a. New Melones Reservoir (Stanislaus River) : The State of California officially adopted the project by Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945. In addition, authority for the Department of Water Resources to participate and cooperate with the United States in the planning of construc- tion, operation, maintenance and financing of the project is con- tained in chapter 2417, Statutes of State of California, 1957. Local interests are required to pay an equitable part of the project first cost, and of the annual maintenance and operation charges, for conservation use of the project. The payments will be made in accordance with Reclamation Law. Such payments will be based on cost allocation studies to be made by the Depart- ment of Army. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, in- cluding required non-Federal contributions, will not be known until the cost allocation study has been completed; however, the allocation to irrigation is presently estimated (July 1960) at 39.5 percent of Federal first cost and 25.8 percent of the annual operation, maintenance and replacement costs. b. In Tuolumne Basin: The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945. In consideration of the Federal contribution toward the first costs of construction, local interests are required to construct, maintain, and operate New Don Pedro Reservoir, allocate a specified storage therein for flood control, and operate such flood- 1670 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 control reservation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. A contract was negotiated in 1949 with local interests, compris- ing the city and county of San Francisco and the Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts, whereby they agreed to provide 340,000 acre-feet of flood control storage in New Don Pedro Reservoir when constructed, in exchange for a Federal con- tribution estimated at $12,000,000. Local interests have provided a portion of the required flood control storage since December 1949. Construction of Cherry Valley Reservoir, and provision of interim flood-control storage therein as well as in existing Don Pedro and Hetch Hetchy Reservoirs has provided approximately 75 percent of the flood-control requirements for the overall development. Federal payments totaling $9,000,000 have been made to the local interests for this first phase. Local interests are proceeding with planning for construction of the New Don Pedro Reservoir and expect to initiate construction in calendar year 1963. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation for Cherry Valley Reservoir, completed in 1957, under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contri- butions, amount to $5,000,000. Since the type, size and capacity of New Don Pedro Dam and Reservoir have not yet been established, an estimate of cost is not available. Preliminary estimates (July 1960) indicate that local interests' cost for the project will be in the order of $72,000,000. c. San Joaquin River: The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945. Chapter 1048, California Statutes of 1955, amended the Water Code and approved the execution of a plan which includes provisions for the State to construct levee and channel improve- ment works upstream from the mouth of Merced River, as re- quired, in lieu of furnishing flowage easements, to protect such lands against floods. In addition to bearing the cost of improvements as required along the San Joaquin River upstream from the mouth of the Merced River, local interests are required, for the Federal im- provement downstream from the mouth of the Merced River, (1) to furnish flowage rights to overflow certain lands along the San Joaquin River and furnish all lands, easements, and rights- of-way for construction or improvement of levees; (2) accomplish all necessary utility alterations and relocations; (3) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works and their subsequent maintenance and operation; and (4) maintain all levee and channel improvements after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Local interests are represented by the Reclamation Board of the State of California. Assurances of local cooperation were accepted January 6, 1956 by Sacramento District, Corps of Engineers for the Secretary of the Army. FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1671 All lands, easements, and rights-of-way for Federal construc- tion have been furnished by the State of California as required to date and most of the utility alterations and relocations are accomplished under the Federal construction contracts with funds provided by local interests. Requirements for future construction will be furnished as needed. The initial contract for the State's construction on the non- Federal portion of the project above the mouth of Merced River, awarded during April 1959, is expected to be completed during September 1960. This work covers construction of 50 miles of new levees and various irrigation and drainage structures, and bank protection works at a cost of about $2,000,000. Bids are currently scheduled to be opened during August 1960 for the second phase of construction; estimated cost of this phase is $3,000,000. In addition, the State has expended approximately $550,000 for planning, $1,380,000 for acquisition of rights-of-way for construction, and $90,000 for channel clearing. The entire State project will include construction of approxi- mately 375 miles of levees, along with major bridges and control structures. The work will extend along the San Joaquin River from the juncture with the Merced River in Merced County, upstream to approximately 45 miles below Friant Dam near Fresno. Maintenance and operation of the levee and channel improvements for the Federal improvement downstream from the mouth of the Merced River after completion are the responsibility of local interests. Completed units are transferred to the State of California for maintenance. The latest estimate (July 1960) of annual maintenance costs to local interests for this construction is $192,000. In addition, maintenance and operation of the im- provements under the State construction upstream from the mouth of the Merced River after completion are also the respon- sibility of local interests. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation below the mouth of the Merced River under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $3,500,000 (July 1960). Of this amount, approximately 30 percent ($1,050,000) has been expended or committed through June 30, 1960. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation above the mouth of the Merced River under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, were estimated (March 1960) by the State Reclamation Board to be $10,500,000 for State construction and $700,000 for lands and relocation of utilities by local interests, a total of $11,200,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: a. New Melones Reservoir (Stanislaus River) : Work was initiated on preparation of a revised feasibility report giving consideration to a larger reservoir and powerplant. Costs in the amount of $43,301 were incurred for this work during the year. b. Tuolumne River reservoirs (exclusive of Cherry Valley Reservoir): Office studies and contacts with local interests for 1672 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Studies were initiated in fiscal year 1960 for a revised economic feasibility report to supersede the economic feasibility report made on the project in fiscal year 1957. The new report is scheduled to be completed in fiscal year 1961. Construction has not been initiated. Total cost for New Melones Reservoir to June 30, 1960, was $236,457, including $50,000 for preauthorization studies. b. Tuolumne River Basin: FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1673 (1) Cherry Valley Reservoir: Construction of Cherry Valley Reservoir, and provision of interim flood-control storage therein and in the existing Don Pedro Reservoir to be operated until the New Don Pedro Reservoir is con- structed, have provided approximately 75 percent of the flood-control requirements previously contemplated for the overall development, and $9,000,000 in Federal pay- ments have been made to local interests for the initial phase. The initial Federal contribution was made in 1950 and total costs for Cherry Valley Reservoir to June 30, 1960, were $9,280,646, consisting of $9,000,000 as direct payments to local interests and $280,646 for incidental Federal costs, including $45,000 for pre- authorization studies. (2) Tuolumne River Reservoirs (exclusive of Cherry Valley Reservoir): Office studies and contacts with local in- terests for coordinating planning activities on New Don Pedro Reservoir (phase II) are underway. Hydrologic studies pertaining to the standard project flood, the spill- way design flood and other criteria have been completed. Preconstruction planning by local interests is underway and local interests estimate that construction will be initiated in calendar year 1963. Total Federal costs for Tuolumne River Reservoirs (exclusive of Cherry Valley Reservoir) to June 30, 1960, were $63,875 in- cluding $15,000 for preauthorization studies. Total Federal costs for the Tuolumne River Basin to June 30, 1960, were $9,344,521, consisting of $9,000,000 as direct pay- ments to local interests and $344,521 for incidental Federal costs, including $60,000 for preauthorization studies. c. Construction of levee and channel improvement works on lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Construction was ini- tiated in July 1956; the project is about 30 percent complete. Data for definite design studies have been assembled, including studies of existing channel capacities, topographic surveys, re- connaissance of existing levees, derivation of project design flood plane, and determination of potential benefits. General design memorandum is complete. Cooperative studies with the State of California have been made to determine plans for preservation of natural valley storage above Merced River. Stone protection along San Joaquin River, from head of Old River to Brandt Bridge and from the vicinity of Brandt Bridge to Stockton Channel, in San Joaquin County and along Old River from head of Old River to Paradise Cut has been completed. Levee Construction and bank protection has been completed as follows: Right bank San Joaquin River from Walthall Slough to head of Old Rive:r; left bank San Joaquin River from Banta-Carbona Intake to Old River; and right and left banks San Joaquin River at priority sites above Banta-Carbona Intake and Walthall Slough.

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 FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1675 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 Dutch- mans Creek. The latter group crosses an area of pasture land and flood-control improvements are not 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 of the Merced County group is intermittent. (See U.S. Geological Survey Haystack Mountain quadrangle for Burns Reservoir area and Indian Gulch quad- rangle for Bear, Owens, and Mariposa Reservoirs areas.) Existing project. Improvement of Merced County stream group is a unit in the comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basins. The proj- ect consists of four retarding-type reservoirs and provides for channel improvements, in the vicinity of the city of Merced, Calif., for the exclusive purpose of flood control. Mariposa Dam, completed in November 1948, comprises an earthfill main dam 1,330 feet long with a maximum height of about 88 feet and two auxiliary dikes aggregating 1,380 feet in length; the reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 15,000 acre-feet; the spillway is located in a saddle near the left abut- ment of the main dam. The dam is located on Mariposa Creek about 18 miles east of Merced. Owens Dam, completed in October 1949, consists of an earthfill main dam with a maximum height of 75 feet and a crest length of 790 feet and an auxiliary dike approximately 375 feet long in a saddle near the left abutment; the gross storage capacity of the reservoir is 3,600 acre-feet; the spillway is located in a saddle near the left abutment of the auxiliary dike. Owens Dam is located on Owens Creek about 16 miles east of Merced. Burns Dam, completed in January 1950, is an earthfill struc- ture with a maximum height of 53 feet and a crest length of 4,074 feet; and five auxiliary dikes aggregating 4,764 feet in length; the reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 7,000 acre- feet; the spillway is located near the right abutment. Burns Dam is located on Burns Creek about 13 miles northeast of Mer- ced. Bear Dam, completed in December 1954, is an earthfill struc- ture with a maximum height of 92 feet and a crest length of 1,830 feet; an ungated saddle spillway; and an auxiliary dike about 290 feet long; the reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 7,700 acre-feet. Bear Dam is located on Bear Creek about 16 miles northeast of Merced. Diversion of flow from Black Rascal Creek to Bear Creek was accomplished by means of a 3,000 second-foot capacity canal with a length of 1.3 miles, and diversion of flow from Owens Creek to Mariposa Creek, by means of a 400 second-foot capacity canal with a length of 1.6 miles. These improvements were completed 1676 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 in April 1956 and are located east of Merced 4 and 11 miles, respectively. In addition, channel enlargement of a constructed portion of Miles Creek and restoration of impaired channel capacities of Burns, Owens, and Mariposa Creeks was accomplished in 1956 by responsible local interests at their expense. Improvement of Bear Creek and Black Rascal Slough, below their confluence, has been deferred pending possible improve- ments downstream, outside the limits of the project. The project provides flood protection to about 136,000 acres of agricultural lands, to the city of Merced, to the towns of Planada and Le Grand and other smaller communities, and to highway and transportation facilities. In addition, the project reduces maximum flood flows from the Merced County Stream Group into the San Joaquin River. The total Federal cost of new work for the project, completed in fiscal year 1957, was $2,761,259, including $10,000 for pre- authorization studies. Operation and maintenance of the project and the existing channel improvements is the responsibility of local interests. Operation and maintenance of the reservoirs and appurtenant gaging facilities is the responsibility of the Federal Government. The average annual Federal maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $10,215. 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. Construction of the project was 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 would (1) provide wihout cost to the United States all land, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction; (2) bear the expense of all necessary highway and utility changes; (3) 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; (4) hold and save the United States free from damages resulting from construction of the works; and (5) 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 Secre- tary of the Army. Chapter 1514, Statutes of State of California, 1945, provided for the furnishing of the required assurances which were accepted by the Secretary of the Army on January 22, 1948. All lands, easements, and rights-of-way were furnished by the State of California as required, in accordance with the above assurances. Senate bill 1659, chapter 1118, Statutes of State of California of 1953, authorized the State Reclamation Board to provide the enlargement and restore the channel capacities of the creeks enumerated in (3) above. This work was completed in fiscal FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1677 year 1956, with the exception of improvement of Bear Creek and Black Rascal Slough below their confluence, which has been de- ferred pending possible improvements downstream, outside the limits of the project. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $1,148,000 (April 1959), Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: None. Maintenance : Maintenance and operation of the dams and res- ervoirs, and condition and operation studies, including periodic gage reading and other operational functions were accomplished throughout the fiscal year by hired labor. Local interests per- formed routine maintenance on existing channels. The reservoir regulation manual for Merced County Stream Group project was revised and brought up to date. Runoff from drainage areas above the Merced County Stream Group Reservoirs was below normal for the year. Storage of water occurred in February and March. The maximum storage occurred on February 10, 1960, with Mariposa Reservoir storing 1,110 acre-feet and other reservoirs storing smaller quantities. Total costs for the project during the fiscal year were $9,694, all for Federal operation and maintenance of the four completed reservoirs and appurtenances. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction under this im- provement was initiated in March 1948, with the construction of Mariposa Dam and Reservoir, which was completed in November 1948. Construction of Owens Dam and Reservoir, initiated in March 1949, was completed in October 1949, and Burns Dam and Reservoir, initiated in July 1949 was completed in January 1950. Bear Dam and Reservoir, initiated in April 1954 was com- pleted in December 1954. Black Rascal and Owens Creek di- version channels and stream-gaging stations were completed in April 1956. Local interests completed the channel enlargement and res- toration of channel capacities of Miles, Burns, Owens, and Mari- posa Creeks in 1956 at their expense. Improvement of Bear Creek and Black Rascal Slough, below their confluence, has been deferred pending possible improvements downstream, outside the limits of the project. Completed project and existing channels, are in good condition. There are no recreation facilities and no public use areas. There are approximately 15 miles of access road maintained by the Corps. Condition of the road is fair. Minor repairs will be re- quired. Total costs of maintenance for Federal operation and mainte- nance of the four completed reservoirs and appurtenances were $94,092 from Federal funds between July 1948 and June 30, 1960. Total costs for the project to June 30, 1960, were as follows: 1678 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

PINE FLAT RESERVOIR AND KINGS RIVER, CALIF. Location. The area covered by this project comprises the upper watershed of Kings River, its valley alluvial fan or delta, and the reclaimed lake bed known as Tulare Lake. The upper basin above the town of Piedra is rugged and mountainous. Be- low 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 Tu- lare 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 settle- ment of the region. Tulare Lake also receives floodwaters of Tule, Keweah, and Kern Rivers in some years. The area below Piedra, including Tulare Lake, is known as the Kings River serv- ice area. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. The improvement is a unit in the compre- hensive plan for flood control and other related purposes for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basins. The project consists of a 429- foot high concrete gravity dam, including a gated overflow sec- tion with a maximum discharge capacity of 391,000 cubic feet per second, creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,000,000 acre-feet, for flood control, irrigation, and related pur- poses. Outlet provisions for future power development are in- cluded in the dam, but Federal construction of power generating facilities is not authorized. The dam is located on Kings River, about 25 miles east of the city of Fresno, Calif., and about 4 FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1679 miles upstream from the town of Piedra; construction of the dam was completed in June 1954. The improvement also includes a limited amount of channel improvement on Kings River and its distributaries on the valley floor about 25 miles south of Fresno. The channel improvement work will enlarge channel capacities and regulate flows in the lower branches of the Kings River. The channel improvement work has not been initiated. There are five public use and recreation areas; one maintained by the United States Forest Service, three by concession, and one by Fresno County. Recreation facilities at the Deer Creek area, other than Code 710 facilities, were completed in June 1958 and comprised a park- ing area and provision of temporary sanitary facilities. Improve- ment of Deer Creek Road with Code 710 funds, for boat-launching purposes, was completed in December 1959. Further develop- ment of this area will be by private concessionaire under terms of a commercial lease. In addition, Federal construction of addi- tional recreational facilities will be accomplished at the Island Park, Trimmer View, and Sycamore sites. This construction will be funded from Code 710 appropriations for "Recreation Facili- ties at Completed Projects." The improvement will provide flood protection for about 80,000 acres of rich agricultural lands in the Kings River area and, in conjunction with the completed Isabella Reservoir on Kern River and the authorized projects under construction on Kaweah and Tule Rivers, will provide protection against floods to 260,000 acres of rich croplands in the Tulare Lake area. In addition, the project will improve the irrigation water supply with an average of 165,000 acre-feet of new water annually by retention of flood flows, and will provide a means of regulating the normal supply. The improvement to irrigation will benefit 460,000 acres in the Kings River service area and 260,000 acres in the Tulare Lake area. The latest approved estimate for Federal cost of new work (July 1960) is $40,950,000, of which $4,702,000 is for lands and damages including relocations and $36,248,000 for construction, including $47,000 for preauthorization studies and $50,000 for recreational facilities. In addition, the latest approved estimate of Federal cost of recreational facilities for Pine Flat Reservoir, to be funded from Code 710 appropriations for "Recreation Facilities at Completed Projects", is $410,000 (July 1960) exclusive of overlook facilities previously provided at a cost of $50,000. Operation and maintenance of the dam and reservoir is the re- sponsibility of the Federal Government. The average maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $142,594. Local interests will reimburse the United States for the con- servation accomplishments of the project. Responsibility rests with the Department of Interior for negotiating a permanent repayment contract. In addition, local interests will be required to maintain the completed channel improvement work. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of 1680 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of Cali- fornia. Local interests are required to pay for the conservation accomplishments of the dam and reservoir portion of the project. For the downstream channel improvement work, local interests are required to (1) furnish all lands, easements and rights-of-way required for construction, (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and subsequent operation and maintenance of channel improvement, and (3) maintain the channel improvements after completion in accordance with regu- lations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Pending negotiations of the final contract, the Bureau of Re- clamation is providing conservation water to the local interests under an interim contract, by which the irrigation interests have paid a total of about $4,627,000 for service through December 31, 1959. Operation and maintenance costs attributable to water con- servation are included in these payments. In addition, provision for storage of power water, under a Department of Army con- tract with Pacific Gas and Electric Co., has resulted in payment of approximately $704,000 for such storage through December 31, 1959. Local interests for the downstream channel improvements are represented by the Kings River Conservation District; assurances of local cooperation were accepted by the District Engineer on November 20, 1959. Rights-of-way required for this construction, to be initiated in fiscal year 1961, are scheduled to be furnished by March 1, 1961. Under the provisions of the War Department Civil Appropria- tions Act of 1947, the Secretary of War, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Interior, as published in House Document 136, 80th Congress, 1st session, determined the division of first cost to irrigation should be set at an amount not to exceed $14,250,000. The exact amount is to be agreed upon by the Department of Interior and the local agencies directly concerned. In addition, local interests are required to pay 37.4 percent of the annual operation, maintenance and replacement cost for the dam and reservoir. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation for the downstream channel improvements, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $325,000 (July 1960). Esti- mated cost of maintenance and operation and replacements for this work is $16,900 (July 1960). The Tahiti Diamond Corp. has undertaken the development and management of recreation facilities in the Deer Creek Recreation area for use of the public in accordance with lease granted by the Secretary of Army on October 21, 1959. Fresno County is currently developing public-use facilities on an 85-acre tract immediately downstream from the dam for picnicking, camping, swimming, and playground activities, under the provisions of a license agreement. Other public-use facilities FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1681 at the reservoir are being provided by two commercial conces- sionaires and by the U.S. Forest Service. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Engi- neering and design and instrumentation studies were continued by hired labor. Field surveys required for the levee and channel improvement work were accomplished by contract. Contact was maintained with the United States Bureau of Reclamation re- garding a long-term contract for conservation operation of Pine Flat Project. Fiscal year activities for Code 710 recreation facil- ities included preparation of design memorandum for Island Park recreation area; preparation of plans and specifications for well for water supply for Island Park; improvement of Deer Creek access road and parking areas; and the extension of a paved ramp for boat launching in the Deer Creek area. Maintenance: Maintenance and operation of the dam and reser- voir, service facilities, channel and river control structures, and public recreational facilities was accomplished by hired labor during the year. Pine Flat Reservoir was operated during the fiscal year for flood-control purposes and for irrigation purposes under an in- terim contract with Kings River Conservation District, and for storage of power water under a contract with Pacific Gas and Electric Co. Runoff of Kings River above Pine Flat was below normal for the year. Maximum storage in the reservoir occurred on May 23, 1960 and amounted to 501,000 acre-feet, of which 432,500 acre- feet was irrigation water and 68,500 acre-feet was power water. Release of water for irrigation use totalled 805,000 acre-feet. No flood-control releases were made. Total costs during the year for the project were $260,641, of which $114,587 was for new work and $146,067 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in April 1947; the project is 95 percent complete. Construction of the main dam was initiated in January 1950, and completed in June 1954; final concrete pour was made in March 1953. The dam has been operating since February 1954 to, provide the flood protection for which it was designed. Acquisition of lands re- quired for the project is complete. Reservoir clearing, reloca- tions of roads and utilities, construction of operational buildings, and a portion of the hydrological telemetering facilities have been completed. The dam and appurtenances are in good condition. The 2.3 miles of project roads are in good condition. There are six public use and recreation areas: Two maintained by the United States Forest Service, three by concession, and one by Fresno County. One launching ramp and associated parking areas are maintained by the Corps. Public attendance in the reservoir area for calendar year 1959 was estimated at about 390,000 visitor-days. Work remaining to be done consists of installation of gages and communication facilities for operation purposes, the provi- sion of channel improvements, and the provision of recreation facilities in connection with the overall development of the res- 1682 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 ervoir area. The radio transmitting snow gages and associated relay station are required for efficient operation of the project during the snowmelt periods. These gages will be installed at remote sites at high elevations in the watershed after the snow gages already installed for this project have operated satisfac- torily. Construction of channel improvements is scheduled for initiation in fiscal year 1961. Engineering and design is also required in connection with the above activities. Total cost of new work for the project to June 30, 1960 was $39,181,941, including $33,086 for recreational facilities. Total cost of maintenance for Federal operation and mainte- nance of Pine Flat Reservoir and appurtenances was $843,432 be- tween July 1953 and June 30, 1960. Total cost of all work for the project to June 30, 1960, was $40,625,373.

KAWEAH AND TULE RIVERS, INCLUDING TERMINUS AND SUCCESS RESERVOIRS, CALIFORNIA Location. The area covered by this project comprises the upper watersheds of Kaweah and Tule Rivers, their valleys and alluvial fans, and the reclaimed Tulare Lake area, their common terminus. The Kaweah River Basin above Terminus Dam site is a fan-sharped area draining 560 square miles of mountainous ter- rain on the western slope of the southern Sierra Nevada. The main stream is formed about 10 miles above the head of its delta, near the town of Three Rivers, by the confluence of the north, middle, and south forks. The main stream flows westerly about 10 miles through foothills and emerges on the valley floor at McKay Point, where it divides into a northern and southern chan- nel, the flow to each being controlled by weirs. St. Johns River, FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1683 the northerly channel, flows westerly about 23 miles and unites with Cottonwood Creek to form Cross Creek which continues southwesterly for about 35 miles where it unites with Tule River about 4 miles south of Corcoran, Calif. From McKay Point, the southerly channel, still called Kaweah River, flows southwesterly 4 miles and then divides into numerous distributary channels. Flows in these channels not diverted for irrigation or lost by seepage finally enter Tulare Lake Basin via Tule River. Tule River Basin adjoins the Kaweah Basin on the south. The main Tule River is formed by the confluence of its north, middle, and south forks near Springville. The north and middle forks join about 10 miles above Success dam site, and the south fork joins the main river within the limits of the reservoir area. About 3 miles below the dam site near the city of Porterville, the river reaches the valley floor, divides into numerous distributary chan- nels that serve the rich agricultural area, and continues across the alluvial fan to Tulare Lake, some 40 miles to the west. The drainage area above the damsite is 388 square miles. Tulare Lake has been largely reclaimed and is a valuable crop-producing area. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. The improvement provides for construction of the Terminus and Success Reservoir projects for flood control, irrigation, and other water conservation purposes. Terminus Reservoir, now under construction, is located on Kaweah River about 20 miles east of the city of Visalia, Calif. The project consists of a rolled earthfill and rock shell main dam structure 250 feet high and 2,375 feet long, an auxiliary earthfill dam 130 feet high and 870 feet long, and an ungated spillway located in the left abutment of the dam. It will create a reservoir of 150,000 acre-foot capacity. Spreading facilities of the capacity contemplated in the authorizing document, comprising a complex system of channels, basins, and other irrigation facilities, have been constructed by local interests since preparation of the survey report. Such spreading development is fully adequate for project purposes. Excess waters will be spread, so far as they can be absorbed, into the existing downstream system of irrigation channels and spreading basins for ground water replenishment in an area that is normally deficient in irrigation supply. During severe flood conditions, 5,500 cubic feet per second will be released to the down- stream channel system. Excess waters which c'annot be absorbed by the service area will be intercepted by the Lakeland Canal, which has a capacity of 500 cubic feet per second, and will be used on about 70,000 acres to the east and south of Tulare Lake or spread over nonwaterright lands to the east of Tulare Lake basin to the extent feasible, and the remainder will flow to the Tulare lakebed area. Therefore, storage of some Kaweah River water in Tulare Lake will still be necessary. The project is about 50 per- cent complete. Success Reservoir, now under construction, will be located on Tule River about 6 miles east of Porterville, Calif. The project comprises a rolled earthfill main dam structure 142 feet high and 1684 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 3,490 feet long, an auxiliary rolled earthfill dam or dike 42 feet high and 7,650 feet long across Frazier Valley about 31/2 miles northwesterly from the main dam, and an ungated spillway. It will create a reservoir of 80,000 acre-feet capacity. The project is about 83 percent complete. It is expected that the two reservoirs will receive extensive public use due to the increasing demand for additional outdoor recreational areas. The reservoirs are units in the comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basin. Terminus Reservoir will provide a high degree of flood protection to about 126,000 acres of agricultural and suburban lands in the Kaweah River area and for the City of Visalia and adjacent urban and suburban areas. Success Reservoir will pro- vide a high degree of flood protection to about 60,000 acres of agricultural and suburban lands along the Tule River and dis- tributaries and to the Porterville urban area. In addition, Termi- nus and Success Reservoirs will provide an average annual new and redistributed water supply of 80,500 acre-feet for irrigation use. These two reservoirs in conjunction with the completed Pine Flat and Isabella Reservoirs, will help to provide flood protection to 260,000 acres of highly productive agricultural land in the Tu- lare Lake area. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost of new work (July 1960) is as follows: Estimated cost Project Lands and Construction damages (includ- Total ing relocations) Terminus Dam and Reservoir .............. $14, 464, 000 $7, 036, 000 1$21, 500,000 Success Dam and Reservoir ............... 9, 505,000 4, 695,000 2 14, 200, 000 Total ............................... 23, 969, 000 11, 731, 000 35, 700, 000 1 Includes $66,000 for preauthorization studies. 2Includes $56,000 for preauthorization studies. Maintenance and operation of the reservoirs will be the re- sponsibility of the Federal Government. Maintenance and opera- tion of the chann'els and diversions under project conditions at Success Reservoir and the existing spreading works for Terminus Reservoir will be the responsibility of local interests. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. This act authorized $4,600,000 for the ini- tiation and partial accomplishment of the construction of Success and Terminus Reservoirs. Additional monetary authorization for completion of this comprehensive plan was provided by Public Law 85-500, 85th Congress, 2d session, approved July 3, 1958. (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.) FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1685 Local cooperation. The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of Cali- fornia. Local interests are required to pay the portion of the first cost and of the annual costs of operation, maintenance and re- placements allocated to the conservation functions of the project. In addition, local interests, will be required to maintain and ope- rate the downstream channel and diversion systems for disposal of flood waters by spreading or other means. Local interests for Success Reservoir are considered to be rep- resented by the Vandalia, Porterville, and Lower Tule River Irri- gation Districts and the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage Dis- trict, which represent over 90 percent of the irrigated land and water-right holders along the Tule River below the damsite. These districts adopted resolutions, in August and September 1956, expressing their acceptance of the preliminary cost allocation and their willingness to enter into a contract with the United States for repayment of the project cost allocated to irrigation. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is negotiating a repayment con- tract with these districts and will administer such contract in accordance with reclamation law. The irrigation costs are cur- rently estimated (July 1960) at $1,349,000 for first cost and $5,400 for annual costs. Local interests have indicated that they will continue to maintain the downstream channel systems to provide the required capacity. Local interests for Terminus Reservoir are represented by the Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District and the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District. These districts adopted resolutions, in February and March 1958, expressing their acceptance of the preliminary cost allocation and furnished written assurances of willingness to contract with the United States for repayment for the conservation service from the project. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is negotiating a repayment contract with these dis- tricts and will administer such contract in accordance with re- clamation law. These costs are currently estimated (July 1960) at $3,032,000 for first cost and $17,000 for annual costs. Mainte- nance of the downstream channel systems to accommodate flows corresponding to 5,500 cubic feet per second at McKay Point is basic to project operation. Local interests have assured the dis- trict engineer that they will continue to operate and maintain the spreading works and downstream channel systems to provide the required capacity. The spreading works contemplated for Terminus Project have been constructed by local interests. Total costs for this construc- tion have been estimated at about $750,000 (July 1957). Negotiations with Tulare County for assumption of the plan- ning, development, and management of the public recreational areas at these two projects have been completed. Transfer of such management jurisdiction to Tulare County will be by means of license agreements. The license agreements were signed by the county during May 1960 and are currently awaiting approval of the Secretary of Army. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: a. Termi- 1686 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 nus Reservoir: Engineering and design was continued by hired labor. Land acquisition activities were continued, and, with the exception of two tracts for an access road required for mainte- nance and operation of the project, all tracts currently known to be required for the project are either optioned or in process of condemnation. State Highway 10 relocation, initiated by the State of California in July 1959, is about 67 percent complete. Work was initiated during the fiscal year under relocation con- tracts with the Southern California Edison Co. for relocation of transmission lines and with the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., for relocation of telephone lines. Construction of the main dam and appurtenances, by continuing contract, was continued and is about 44 percent complete. Construction of gaging stations on Kaweah River at Three Rivers was accomplished by the U.S. Geological Survey at Corps' expense. Contact was maintained with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation relative to their negotiations with the local water users for a contract for repayment for the conservation functions of the project. b. Success Reservoir: Engineering and design was continued by hired labor. Land acquisition activities were continued. Work was continued under contracts with the Southern California Edi- son Co. for relocation of power and telephone lines, and with the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. for relocation of telephone lines.

Construction of a gaging station on Tule River near Springville was accomplished by the U.S. Geological Survey at Corps' expense. Surveying of sedimentation ranges was initiated. Contact was maintained with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation relative to their negotiations with the local water users for a contract for repay- ment for the conservation functions of the project. Total costs during the fiscal year for the project were $10,686,- 662 of which $6,584,443 was for Terminus Reservoir and $4,102,219 for Success Reservoir. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work: a. Terminus Reser- voir: Planning, which had been halted since fiscal year 1952 due to the Korean conflict, was resumed in fiscal year 1956. Relatively little work was accomplished until fiscal year 1959 due to lack of adequate monetary authorization for the Kaweah- Tule River Basin. The overall project is about 50 percent com- plete. Land acquisition has progressed to the point where all but two tracts currently known to be required for the project are either optioned or in process of condemnation. Fabrication of the outlet works slide gates has been completed. Relocation of State forestry roads has been completed, and relocation of State High- way 10 is about 67 percent complete. Work is underway on relo- cation of the facilities of the Southern California Edison Co. and the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Construction of the main dam and appurtenances was initiated in February 1959 and is about 44 percent complete. Current schedules call for dam closure by November 15, 1961, and project completion during June 1962. Work remaining to be done includes completion of work under- FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1687 way; relocation of Horse Creek telephone lines, and the Stivers Water Co.'s well and pump; reservoir clearing; installation of permanent operating equipment; and recreation facilities. b. Success Reservoir: Planning for this project was also halted due to the Korean conflict and resumed in fiscal year 1956. Con- struction on this project was initiated in November 1956, but relatively little was accomplished until fiscal year 1959 due to lack of adequate monetary authorization for the Kaweah-Tule River Basin. The overall project is about 83 percent complete. All real estate required for the project has been acquired; con- demnation actions are being settled. Construction of State High- way 127 relocation and county road relocations have been com- pleted. Work is underway on relocation of facilities of the South- ern California Edison Co. and the Pacific Telephone and Tele- graph Co. Cemetery relocation has been completed. Reservoir clearing is about 81 percent complete. Construction of the main dam and appurtenances was initiated in October 1958 and is about 85 percent complete. Installation of the outlet works slide gates, which were fabricated under a supply contract, was accomplished in connection with the main dam construction. Closure of the main dam was initiated April 4, 1960, and the river is now being di- verted through the outlet works. Current schedules call for com- pletion of dam closure by November 15, 1960, and completion of the project in June 1961. Work remaining to be done includes completion of work under- way; completion of access roads; installation of permanent operat- ing equipment; and recreation facilities. Total cost of new work to June 30, 1960, was $22,571,527, of which $10,813,553 was for Terminus Reservoir and $11,757,974 for Success Reservoir.

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 1688 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 area of some 2,400 square miles in the Sierra Nevada. North Fork and South Fork, headwaters of Kern River, have their sources in the high Sierra Nevada, flow south 83 and 82 miles, respectively, and join near the town of Isabella to form Kern River, which flows southwest 72 miles past the city of Bakersfield to a point in the valley trough just north of Buena Vista Lake. River flows at this point are either diverted into the Buena Vista Lake Basin for temporary storage or are carried northwest along the trough of the valley toward Tulare Lake by improved flood and irrigation channels. Under normal conditions of runoff the flow of Kern River below Bakersfield is gradually 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 improvement is a unit in the compre- hensive plan for flood control and other related purposes for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basins. The project consists of a 185- foot-high earthfill structure, an ungated concrete spillway in the left abutment with a discharge capacity of 53,000 cubic feet per second, and a 100-foot-high earthfill auxiliary dam, creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 570,000 acre-feet, for flood-control, irrigation, and related purposes. Outlet facilities for the Borel Power Canal are included in the auxiliary dam. The dam is located about 50 miles northeast of the city of Bakersfield, Calif., near the confluence of the north and south forks of Kern River; the auxiliary dam is about one-half mile east of the main dam. Construction of the dam was completed in April 1953. Since April 1954, when conservation storage began in Isabella Reservoir, the public has made increasing use of the reservoir area for recreational purposes. The Corps of Engineers has provided an observation point with paved parking area in the vicinity of the main dam. Kern County has developed 10 camp- ground areas. In addition, there are three boating concessions. Further development of recreation facilities will be under the administration of Kern County, which has been granted a 25-year license for such activities. The improvement provides flood protection for about 350,000 acres of agricultural land and oilfields in the Kern River area and for the city of Bakersfield. In conjunction with the com- pleted Pine Flat Reservoir on Kings River and the Terminus and Success Reservoirs currently under construction on Kaweah and Tule Rivers, it will provide flood protection to 260,000 acres of cropland in the Tulare Lake area. The project also provides an improvement in the average annual irrigation water supply amounting to about 50,000 acre-feet of new water, through reduc- tion in evaporation ,oes, and provides means for regulating the irrigation supply. No power facilities were provided in the auth- orized construction, but existing downstream plants benefit in- cidentally from reservoir regulation. The latest estimate of Federal cost for new work (July 1960) is $21,910,400, of which $12,156,100 is for lands and damages,,in- cluding relocations and $9,754,300 for construction. FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1689 Operation and maintenance of the dam and reservoir is the responsibility of the Federal Government. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $64,158. Local interests will reimburse the United States for the conservation accomplishments of the project. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 513, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contain the latest published map.) Local cooperation. The State of California officially adopted the project by chapter 1514 of the Statutes of 1945, State of California. Local interests are required to pay for the conserva- tion accomplishments of the dam and reservoir portion of the project. Repayment arrangements, for which negotiations are currently underway, will be made by the U.S. Bureau of Reclama- tion, under reclamation law. In addition, local interests are re- quired to pay 21.7 percent of the annual operation, maintenance and replacement cost for the dam and reservoir. Pending negotia- tions of the final contract, the Bureau of Reclamation is providing conservation water under an interim contract with North Kern, Buena Vista, and Tulare Lake Water Storage Districts. Under provisions of this interim contract, local interests have paid a total of $1,133,886 for irrigation service through December 31, 1959; these payments include the operation and'maintenance costs applicable to conservation benefits. In addition, incidental power benefits to downstream existing plants will be paid for by Southern California Edison Co. and Pacific Gas and Electric Co., the amount being determined by the Federal Power Commission and will be collected by that agency. Kern County has undertaken the administration of recreation and development and maintenance of public-use areas at the project for use of the public in accordance with license granted by the Secretary of the Army on February 15, 1955 for a period of 25 years. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Engi- neering and design was continued by hired labor. Weekly well readings were taken to determine the cause of seepage which occurred during the fall of 1958 on subdivided property one mile downstream from the auxiliary dam. Modification of Borel Canal lining and gate seals was accomplished by contract. The continu- ing contract for radio-reporting snow gages and relay station was continued with reinstallation, adjustment and modification if equipment. The tower for the Sherman Peak relay station top- pled during high-wind occurrence between January and March 1960, damaging the tower and some of the equipment at that site. Replacement of this tower with one designed and built to withstand wind velocities of 150 miles per hour will be required. Maintenance: Maintenance and operation of the dam and reser- voir service facilities and public recreational facilities was ac- complished by hired labor. In addition, hired labor was util- ized during the fiscal year for condition and operation inspections and for condition surveys, including mantenance of gages and gage readings. 1690 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Isabella Reservoir was operated during the fiscal year for flood- control purposes and for irrigation purposes under an interim con- tract with North Kern Water Storage District, Buena Vista Water Storage District, and Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District. Runoff of Kern River was below normal for the year. Maxi- mum storage occurred on May 18, 1960 and amounted to 119,000 acre-feet, of which 98,200 acre-feet was irrigation water and 20,800 acre-feet was stored for recreation. Release of water for irrigation use totaled 320,000 acre-feet, of which 192,000 acre-feet was released through the Borel Canal and 128,000 acre- feet was released through the Kern River outlets. Total costs during the fiscal year for the project were $112,184 of which $33,013 was for new work and $79,171 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in March 1948; the project is 99 percent complete. Construction of the main dam and Borel Canal outlet works and appurtenances and completion of the auxiliary dam was completed in April 1953. Storage impoundment commenced on December 11, 1952. The project is operating to provide the flood-protection and conserva- tion benefits for which it was designed. Other major features completed include: Acquisition of lands required for the project except for final real estate audit; relocations of roads and utilities; construction of operational buildings; alteration of Borel Canal facilities; relocation of United States Forest Service facilities; and reservoir clearing. The dam and appurtenances are in good condition. Public at- tendance in the reservoir area for calendar year 1959 was esti- mated at 950,100 visitor-days, with a peak day of 22,000 visitors. Items remaining to complete the project consist of construction of fishway for Borel Canal intake; completion of radio-transmit- ting snow gages and associated relay stations (hydrologic facili- ties required for the efficient operation of the project during snow- melt periods); and completion of final real estate audit. The gages and relay stations are being installed at remote sites at high elevations in the watershed. In addition, there will probably be some drainage work downstream of the dam.

Total cost of maintenance for Federal operation and mainte- nance of the reservoir and appurtenances was $404,012 between July 1953 and June 30, 1960. Total cost for the entire project to June 30, 1960, was $22,237,991. 17. TRUCKEE RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF. AND NEV. Location. The Truckee River Basin comprises 3,100 square miles in eastern California and western Nevada. The river begins at the outlet of Lake Tahoe, and flows northerly and easterly through Truckee, Calif., and Reno, Nev., to Pyramid and Win- nemucca Lakes in Nevada. (See U.S. Geological Survey quad- rangles for Truckee and Reno.) Existing project. The project provides for enlargement of the Truckee River Channel for a distance of about 3,200 feet down- stream from the existing control structure at Lake Tahoe. Such enlargement will increase the capacity of the outlet from 1,600 to 2,500 cubic feet per second at a lake level of 6,228.0 feet, and from 2,100 to about 3,300 cubic feet per second at a lake level of 6,229.1 feet, which is the maximum storage level specified by legal agreement. The improvement will permit larger releases from the lake than are possible under proproject conditions, thus, alleviating high-lake-level damages to lakeshore property. Because of the possibility of increased releases from the lake, a limited amount of flood-protection work will be necessary between Lake Tahoe and the town of Truckee to prevent any increase in the frequency or severity of damage in that reach. This work will consist of low levees and/or channel improvement at intermittent locations. In addition, the project provides for enlarging the Truckee River Channel through Truckee Meadows, beginning at the Second Street Bridge in Reno and extending downstream a distance of 7.5 miles. That improvement will increase the channel capacity from about 3,000 to 6,000 cubic feet per second. The work consists of widening, deepening, and straightening the exist- ing channel, and the removal of obstructive rock reefs. Such work will reduce the amount of overbank storage in Truckee Meadows, thus increasing the rate of floodflows in the down- stream river reach. The project also provides for improving the channel by snagging and clearing at intermittent locations be- tween Vista and Pyramid Lake. Construction of the project was initiated in August 1959 and is about 58 percent complete. Local interests will construct, or otherwise provide at their own expense, suitable debris-removal facilities at the existing Derby Dam. Maintenance and operation of the project works after completion will be the responsibility of local interests. The project will provide partial protection to commercial and residential developments along the shore of Lake Tahoe and to about 2,000 acres of agricultural land along Truckee River. It is designed to fit into a basinwide plan for flood-control and allied 1692 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 purposes which will include the authorized and proposed units of the Washoe Reclamation project of the U.S. Bureau of Reclama- tion. The Truckee Meadow feature of the improvement will greatly reduce both the frequency and duration of flooding in the large agricultural area in the Truckee Meadows, as well as im- prove drainage and sanitary conditions in outlying portions of Reno and Sparks. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work is $1,200,000 (July 1960), for construction. (Includes $50,000 for preauthorization studies.) The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954. (See H. Doc. 497, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) The authorization act pro- vided that the authorization for improvement of Truckee River, Calif. and Nev., should not become effective unless and until the "Washoe Reclamation Project" on the Truckee and Carson Rivers, Calif. and Nev., had been authorized pursuant to law. The Washoe project, as presently contemplated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, includes the Stampede Reservoir on Little Truckee River, Prosser Reservoir on Prosser Creek, a tributary of Truckee River, and Watasheama Reservoir on East Carson River, together with associated power, drainage and irrigation facilities. Stamp- ede and Prosser Reservoirs would be operated to furnish flood protection to the city of Reno in addition to supplementing the channel improvements in the Truckee Meadows area. Stampede and Prosser Reservoirs would be operated to furnish flood protec- tion to the city of Reno in addition to supplementing the channel improvements in the Truckee Meadows area. The Washoe Project was authorized by Public Law 858, 84th Congress, 2d session, approved August 1, 1956, as modified by Public Law 85-706, 85th Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. Local interests furnished assurances satis- factory to the Secretary of the Army that they would provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights- of-way required for construction; relocate all roads and utilities required; provide suitable debris-removal facilities at Derby Dam; hold and save the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate all works after completion. Legislation enacted in March 1959 by the State of Nevada authorized the Director of Natural Resources to comply with local cooperation requirements for the Nevada portion of the project. By chapter 84, Statutes of 1958, the State of California authorized the California Department of Water Resources to provide the re- quired assurances and to otherwise fulfill the local cooperation requirements for the California portion of the project. Assur- ances were accepted for the Nevada portion on April 6, 1959, and for the California portion on April 21, 1959. Rights-of-way were furnished for the Truckee Meadows im- provement below Reno, Nev., early in July 1959 and the State of Nevada has accomplished the required utility revisions. The State of Nevada has also entered into an agreement with the Truckee- FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1693 Carson Irrigation District relative to the removal of debris from the channel and does not at this time contemplate the installation of any facilities for this purpose. The Truckee Meadows channel improvement was transferred to the State of Nevada for mainte- nance and operation during May 1960. Rights-of-way were furnished for the Lake Tahoe work in California during March 1960. Rights-of-way required for the intermittent channel clearing to be initiated in fiscal year 1961 are scheduled to be furnished by February 15, 1961. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including all required non-Federal contributions, amount to $224,000 (July 1960). These costs to local interests are, however, considered tentative at this time pending determination of the scope of work at intermittent locations. The annual cost for maintenance and operation is estimated at $23,000 (July 1960). Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design was continued by hired labor. Channel improvements were accomplished during the fiscal year, by contracts, at the following locations: (1) Truckee Meadows below Reno, Nev., August 1959 through March 1960 and (2) near Lake Tahoe, Calif., May and June 1960. The Truckee Meadows channel improvement was transferred to the State of Nevada during May 1960 and the chan- nel improvement near Lake Tahoe to the State of California June 30, 1960, for maintenance and operation. Total cost of new work for the project during the fiscal year was $579,051. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in August 1959; channel improvements for Truckee Meadows below Reno, Nev., were completed in March 1960 and near Lake Tahoe, Calif., in June 1960. Work remaining to be done comprises construction of intermit- tent channel improvements downstream from Lake Tahoe outlet and below the Truckee Meadows area. Exact locations of these improvements have not yet been fully determined and method and type of rectification will depend on results of studies of nature of Cost and financial statement Fiscal year ending June 30 Total to June 30, 19601 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 New work: Appropriated................. ............ $50,000 $124,000 000 $513, $737,000 Cost .......................... .......... 19,778 43,523 579,051 692,352 1 Includes $50,000 from General Investigations appropriations.

The Jordan River has its source in Utah Lake, north- central Utah, flows northward through a mountain gap for 9 miles, then continues north for 51 miles to enter Great Salt Lake about 15 miles north of Salt Lake City. The flood-control im- provements are located in and adjacent to Salt Lake City. Existing project. The project provides for control of floods from the Jordan River at Salt Lake City by diverting to the Great Salt Lake, via Surplus Canal, the floodflows in excess of the exist- ing river channel capacity within the city. The improvement in- volves (a) increasing the channel capacity of Jordan River be- tween Mill Creek and the head of the Surplus Canal by channel excavation and levee construction; (b) modifying the existing control structures at the head of Surplus Canal; (c) enlarging Surplus Canal by channel excavation and levee construction from its head downstream to the existing diversion structure leading to Goggin Drain, an existing secondary distributory to Great Salt Lake; (d) reconstructing or modifying four railroad and three street bridges; and (e) modifying an obstructive irrigation diversion and other utilities. Construction will include levees with a total length of about 17 miles (total of both banks) with an average height of 5 feet; the channel will have a capacity of about 3,300 cubic feet per second. Except for the alteration of railroad bridges and the modification of the existing structures at the junction of Jordan River and Surplus Canal, local interests will provide the necessary alteration and construction of structures and utilities. Construction was initiated in April 1959 and is about 81 percent complete. The project will protect the westerly part of Salt Lake City and suburban lands west of the city from Jordan River floods. The area to be benefited includes about 5,800 acres of urban and suburban residential, industrial, and commercial property. Pro- tection also will be provided to segments of United States High- ways 40 and 50, and four railroads and the municipal airport, irrigation facilities, and other utilities. The latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work (July 1960) is $1,270,000, of which $131,000 is for railroad bridge alterations and extensions and $1,139,000 for other construction. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 562, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest map.) Local cooperation. Local interests, represented by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake County, furnished required assur- ances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, that they would (a) provide without cost to the United States all lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way necessary for the construction of the FLOOD CONTROL - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1695 project works, and in addition, bear the expense of all necessary alterations and construction of highway facilities, irrigation works, and other utilities except railroad bridges and except con- trol structures at the junction of Jordan River and the Surplus Canal; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; and (c) maintain and operate all the works after completion in accordance with regulations pre- scribed by the Secretary of the Army. These assurances were accepted by Sacramento District on March 11, 1958, for the Secretary of the Army. Rights-of-way required for levee and channel construction were furnished early in fiscal year 1960; approximately 70 percent has been expended or committed for the alterations and construction of facilities and utilities required under (a) above through June 30, 1960. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non- Federal contributions, amount to $463,000 (July 1960). Of this amount approximately 83 percent ($384,000) has been expended or committed through June 30, 1960. The estimated annual cost of maintenance and operation, in- cluding replacements, is $40,000 (July 1960). Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design was continued by hired labor. Modification of the Union Pacic Railroad bridges was initiated during the year and is about 99 percent complete. Construction was initiated on the levee and channel improvement and is about 83 percent complete. Total cost for new work during the fiscal year was $774,266. Condition at end of fiscal year. Of three contracts awarded to railroad companies for modification of existing railroad bridges, two have been completed and the remaining one is 99 per- cent complete. Construction of the levee and channel improve- ment, initiated in fiscal year 1960, is about 83 percent complete. The entire project is about 81 percent complete, and is scheduled for completion in December 1960. Total cost to June 30, 1960 for the project was $1,028,870, in- cluding $76,000 for preauthorization studies.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD-CONTROL WORKS Section 3 of 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 FLOOD CONTROL- SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1697 Secretary of the Army. Approved regulations for operation and maintenance of flood-control works, part 208, title 33, Code of Federal Regulations provide for semiannual inspection of com- pleted projects. District engineers are responsible for the ad- ministration of these regulations within the boundaries of their respective districts in order to insure maximum benefits from the projects. The average annual cost of this work in Sacramento District during the past 5 years was $7,304. The maintenance inspections conducted during the fiscal year indicate that existing agreements and regulations are being com- plied with on completed flood-control works except for the degree of progress of upgrading maintenance on certain levees on the Sacramento River flood-control project. Active steps are being taken by responsible State agencies to achieve desired results. Local interests were advised, as necessary, of measures required to maintain these projects in accordance with standards pre- scribed by regulations. Total cost of maintenance during the year was $9,740. Total costs for maintenance to June 30, 1960, were $46,569.

SCHEDULING OF FLOOD-CONTROL OPERATIONS Section 7 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 reads as follows: "Hereafter, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of War to pre- scribe regulations for the use of storage allocated for flood control or navigation at all reservoirs constructed wholly or in part with Federal funds provided on the basis of such purposes, and the operation of any such project shall be in accordance with such regulations * * *" The work accomplished under this category consists of activities necessary in the basinwide coordination of flood-control and navi- gation releases from reservoirs operated by other agencies. Summaries of monthly operations at Folsom, Friant, Shasta, Wanship, Echo, Pineview, Don Pedro, Cherry Valley, Hetch Hetchy, and Big Dry Creek Reservoirs were prepared and dis- tributed. A preliminary reservoir regulation manual for flood-control operation of Wanship, Echo, and Pineview Reservoirs was com- pleted. The reservoir regulation manual for flood-control opera- tion of Don Pedro, Cherry Valley, and Hetch Hetchy Reservoirs was revised and brought up to date. Preparation of reservoir- regulation manuals for flood-control operation of Shasta Dam and Reservoir (Shasta Lake), and of Friant Dam and Reservoir (Millerton Lake) was undertaken. Data were assembled on weather, river stages and flows, and tidal stages in the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin River Basins. The cost of this work dur- ing the fiscal year was $7,290. Total cost of this work to June 30, 1960, was $53,823. 23. SURVEYS Work performed under this category includes all investigations of authorized navigation and flood-control survey and review studies for the purpose of determining the advisability of rec- ommending projects for construction which are economically feasible within specific water basins. The rapidly developing economy of the Nation requires that the Federal Government keep its program of authorized public works coordinated with current and prospective needs for rivers and harbors improve- ment, flood-control, and related purposes. The scope and extent of the navigation, flood-control, and water-resources problems involved affect national and local economy and security. In addition, this category includes Corps of Engineers activities required for the purpose of coordination with other Federal agencies in programs which are primarily the responsibility of the other agencies. These coordination activities include studies under the following authorities: a. Collaboration with the Department of Agriculture in its activities under the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (Public Law 566), as amended by Public Law 1018 (Aug. 7, 1956). This objective requires that cognizance be taken of constructed and contemplated upstream and downstream works, with a view to developing the best overall basin program. For this 1700 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 purpose, studies are conducted to bring about coordination be- tween the Public Law 566 program and the flood-control work of the Corps of Engineers, to insure optimum development. b. Collaboration with the Bureau of Reclamation in its activi- ties under the Small Reclamation Projects, Public Law 984, 84th Congress (70 Stat. 1044), which authorizes the Bureau to make loans for construction, rehabilitation and betterment of small- reclamation projects, under specific criteria established by the authorizing legislation. The Corps performs studies of the flood- control features of proposed small-reclamation projects as a serv- ice to the applicants for loans and nonreimbursable grants by the Secretary of the Interior. Application of the Federal flood-control policy to "small reclamation projects" would require the Federal Government to bear the cost of determining the value of the flood- control benefits, since under the flood control acts the Federal Government bears the costs of investigations and surveys. During fiscal year 1960, work under this category included: (1) Continuation of one navigation investigation and initiation of one navigation investigation; (2) continuation of 9 flood-control investigations, initiation of one flood-control investigation, and completion of four flood-control investigations; and accomplish- ment of cooperative studies with the Federal Soil Conservation Service, relating to Public Law 566. There were no costs incurred under the provisions of Public Law 984. Total costs during fiscal year 1960 were $139,670, of which $40,020 were fo rnavigation investigations, $98,172 for flood- control investigations, and $1,478 for watershed studies. The balance unexpended on June 30, 1960, $37,072, and antici- pated allotment for fiscal year 1961 of $186,400, a total of $223,- 472, will be applied during fiscal year 1961 to payment of expenses to be incurred for continuation of investigations and studies under this category. 24. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Hydrologic studies conducted under this activity are essential basic activities pertaining to navigation, flood control, and re- lated programs, which are essential to the proper evaluation of water resources of river basins. These studies provide a back- ground of information and experience which is subsequently utilized in the design, construction, and operation of water-control structures; the studies are not properly chargeable to authorized projects or reports. Civil-works investigation are designed to assist in the solution of unsolved or incompletely solved problems associated with design, construction and operation, and maintenance of civil-works projects. These investigations are engineering problems which are encountered over a wide segment of the area of the civil functions performed by the Corps of Engineers. The solutions are disseminated to permit optimum utilization of the results throughout the Corps of Engineers. Miscellaneous hydrologic studies in connection with the col- lection and study of basic data were conducted to the extent GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1701 permitted by the very limited funds available for fiscal year 1960. Streamflow data and recording rain-gage data were ob- tained from the operations of general coverage stations in the Corps of Engineers stream-gaging program and independent general coverage rain gages operated by Sacramento District which could not be assigned to authorized project .or examination and survey investigations. Analysis of current-flood potential on all principal streams of the Sacramento District was accomplished from current runoff, snow cover, and soil-moisture data. Aerial reconnaissance surveys were conducted of the snowfields in the Cascade-Sierra Nevada area for progress of snowmelt runoff. In addition, a flood reporting network was maintained throughout the district in cooperation with U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Weather Bureau, U.S. Geological Survey, State of California, and local interests. The above studies provided for partial assembly and analysis of basic data covering the Sacramento-San Joaquin Basins and for use in reviewing the regulations for Shasta, Folsom and Friant Reservoirs, operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. The storm study of the unusual storm of April 2-4, 1958, was completed. Civil-works investigation on flood-volume studies, West Coast Technical Bulletin on Runoff Frequency Curves for Great Basin Streams was completed and distributed to Corps of Engineers offices and cooperating agencies. Runoff-frequency statistics for streams in the Upper Columbia River Basin were completed for presentation in technical bulletins. A research note on Frequency Curves from Incomplete Samples was completed and distributed. A research note on a Reliability Test of Hydrologic Frequency Methods was initiated. A general study to develop simplified rain-flood runoff volume frequency charts for west coast streams was initiated. A civil works investigation to determine the source and magni- tude of errors in presently used types of reservoir water-level gages, and to develop and field test an improved type of bubble pressure gage was completed. Source and magnitude of errors in various types of gages and operational procedures to minimize these errors were determined. Field testing of an improved bubble pressure gage for reservoir use was completed. A Progress Bulletin reporting test results and a Final Bulletin containing a manual for installation and operation of this improved bubble gage was prepared. A civil works investigation subproject to develop a reporting precipitation and temperature gage capable of operating with low drain radio equipment at remote unattended sites was continued. A pilot gage was assembled and field tests initiated. A brief progress report was prepared. A civil-works investigation to determine suitability of epoxy resin toward reduction of erosion and cavitation in sluice con- duits in flood-control dams designed and constructed by the Corps of Engineers was continued during the fiscal year. The epoxy resin was applied in selected areas in conduits at Pine Flat Reservoir, Kings River, Calif. Tests have been made with flows 1702 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 under heads ranging from 200 feet to 380 feet at full gate opening and at approximately 200 feet head with partial gate opening. No tests were made during fiscal year 1960 pending lowering of reservoir storage to desired head condition. It is anticipated that suitable head conditions will prevail early in fiscal year 1961. A series of project bulletins will be issued describing the application of materials and procedures for the mixtures tested and the results attained. The costs during the fiscal year for research and development were $38,811 comprising $10,031 for hydrologic studies and $28,780 for civil-works investigations. The balance unexpended at the end of the fiscal year amounting to $3,033 plus an anticipated allotment of $29,700, a total of $32,733 will be applied to hydrologic studies and civil-works investigations planned for fiscal year 1961.

(Modifed by the Chief of Engineers.) 1 Included in the Public Works Administration program Sept. 6, 1933. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for work performed to date. The act of September 3, 1954, requires local interests to (1) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas necessary for the con- struction and subsequent maintenance of the project, when and as required; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works; (3) relinquish to the United States, without royalty charge, all salvageable material removed from the channel; and (4) take title to the proposed drawbridge after construction and maintain and operate it in ac- cordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. All requirements of local cooperation have been formally as- sured by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. Revised Laws of Hawaii, 1955, chapter 112, section 4, authorizes the 1708 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Board of Harbor Commissioners to operate and maintain the bridge across the second entrance channel. Total actual costs (expended by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners) for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $12,774,330 (June 1960). Terminal facilities. There are 38 piers and 2 marginal wharves (a 470-foot concrete wharf and a 2,600-foot timber wharf). The Federal Government owns four of the piers and the two marginal wharves. Of the remaining piers, 14 are owned by the State of Hawaii, administered by the State Board of Harbor Com- missioners, and 20 are privately owned. All piers owned by the State and private concerns are open to all on equal terms. However, certain piers are reserved for certain commodities such as oil, pineapples, bulk cement, feed and fertilizer. There is a bulk sugar plant of 30,000-ton storage capacity with a conveyor loading system capable of conveying at a rate of about 1,000 tons per hour. The State Board of Harbor Commissioners has con- verted a pier to accommodate containerized ships and handle 25- ton cargo containers. Pipelines for diesel oil, fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, aqua ammonia, molasses, and water are available. In addition to these facilities, the United States Army has a slip for the mooring of barges and small vessels 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. Existing terminal facilities are inadequate to accommodate present and future commerce. The State of Hawaii has initiated work on a new passenger-freight terminal to replace three old piers, and has also initiated master planning to redevelop port facilities of Honolulu Harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: En- gineering and design on the second entrance channel and bridge were performed at a total cost of $29,523, of which $19,995 was by contract and $9,528 was by hired labor. Dredging in the outer 5,675 feet of the second entrance channel was accomplished by the U.S. hopper dredge Harding. A total of 313,906 cubic yards of material was removed. Approximately 20,000 cubic yards of hard coral remain in the outer channel to be removed under contract in fiscal year 1961. Dredging in the inner 4,375 feet of the second entrance channel, west of the bridge site, is being accomplished under a continuing contract. The work was 98 percent complete and approximately 1,161,359 cubic yards of material had been removed as of June 30, 1960. The bascule bridge is being constructed under two separate continuing con- tracts. Contract work on the substructure was started in Septem- ber 1959 and was 21 percent complete on June 30, 1960. The total cost of new work for the year was $1,086,826, from regular funds. A reconnaissance survey of the completed portion of the proj- ect was initiated by hired labor during the latter part of the year. Cost to June 30, 1960 was $49.

S. ARMY, 1960 Terminal facilities. At Vancouver, Wash., immediately up- stream from the two highway bridges are a privately owned sand and gravel facility, a United States Coast Guard dock, a private towboat moorage equipped with marine railway and shipbuilding facilities, and facilities for transfer of bulk petroleum from river barges. (For further details concerning facilities at Vancouver see Port Series No. 33, Corps of Engineers, published in 1953.) In the northern section of Portland, Oreg., on the south bank of Columbia River, about 1.7 miles upstream from the Interstate Bridges, is a wharf with a 110-ton derrick used for transfer of cargoes between trucks and barges. At Camas, Wash., about 13.5 miles upstream from Vancouver, are located a private wharf used for transfer of paper mill supplies and paper to and from barges, and also facilities for discharging bulk oils from barges. The port of Camas-Wash- ougal has a wharf 528 feet in length at Washougal, Wash., which will be available for oceangoing vessels when a suitable channel is provided. The wharf is in need of repair and is not in use. At the port of The Dalles (mile 44 above Bonneville) there is a municipal wharf 125 by 1,100 feet for use by 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 ter- minal for handling petroleum products. Storage tanks have rail, truck, and water connections. A private elevator with a capac- ity of 40,000 bushels and a public elevator of 868,000-bushel capacity for handling bulk grain to river craft are also located at The Dalles. The public elevator has rail, truck, and water con- nections. 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 up to 22-ton capacity. At numerous locations over the entire waterway are log rollways for transfer of logs to water from trucks. The existing facili- ties are considered adequate for present commerce. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Dredging and rock excavation from portions of the 27-foot channel between Vancouver and Bonneville Dam was completed by contract May 1960. A total of 16,094 cubic yards of material was removed. At the end of June 1960 a contract was awarded for dredging and excavating below the Bonneville Dam lock for improvement of the downstream approach. Planning was started for construction of three project modifica- tions: Camas-Washougal turning basin, the Bingen barge channel, and Hood River small boat basin. Investigations and surveys for preparation of "design memoranda" were in progress during the year.

WILLAMETTE RIVER ABOVE PORTLAND AND YAMHILL RIVER, OREG. Location. The Willamette River rises in the Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, and empties into the 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. Geo- logical 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. 1728 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Existing project. This provides for improvement of Willam- ette River between Portland (14 miles above the mouth) and Oregon City (mile 26) 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 streamflow regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low water and of no prescribed width, from Oregon City to the mouth of Santiam River (mile 108.5), 5 feet from that point to Albany (mile 120), 2.5 to 3.5 feet deep from Albany to Corvallis (mile 132), and for necessary snagging between Corvallis and Eugene (mile 185). The project also provides for a channel in Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) secured by means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and by the removal of obstructions. The section of Willamette River in the vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by the project described on page 1730 of this report. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents June 3, 1896 Improvement of Willamette River above Oregon H. Doe. 260, 54th Cong., 1st sess. City.

Operation of Yamhill lock was discontinued February 7, 1954, due to lack of use by commercial traffic. 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 2 feet at the mouth of the Williamette to zero, 26 miles above the mouth. The estimate of cost of new work (1960) is $3,040,000. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $438,194. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Between the Ross Island Bridge at Portland and Willamette Falls at Oregon City the terminal facilities con- sist of privately owned mill docks, sand and gravel wharves, a RIVERS AND HARBORS - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1729 cement load facility, a small shipyard, and oil-receiving stations. Above the falls there are privately owned landings including a facility at Pulp Siding (3 miles above the falls) with rail and water connections for shipment of clay and receipt of paper mill products by barge. At Wilsonville and Newberg there are sand and gravel facilities. At Salem there is a 420,000 gallon fuel tank which is serviced by tanker barges. About 5 miles downstream from Albany there is a petroleum tank farm of 1,367,100 gallon capacity with truck and water connections, which receives pe- troleum by barge from Portland. At numerous locations as far as Corvallis (river mile 132) there are log rollways with water and rail or truck connections, to facilitate the movement of logs to mills in the lower Willamette and Columbia Rivers. The existing facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance channel dredging above Oregon City was accomplished during the fiscal year with the removal of 512,360 cubic yards of material by Government plant. This dredging maintained sufficient depth for the requirements of navigation. Releases of stored water from Fern Ridge, Cottage Grove, Detroit, Lookout Point, and Dorena Reservoirs aided materially during low water periods in providing sufficient depths for exist- ing traffic. For detailed information on reservoir releases see pages covering those reservoirs under "flood-control projects." Total costs for the fiscal year were $360,592 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is ap- proximately 37 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Portland and Oregon City and a 2.5 to 3.5-foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 2.5 to 3.5-foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in 1945. The remaining work required to complete the project con- sists 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 3.5 feet from Oregon City to Corvallis. Due to lack of use by commercial traffic for which the facilities were provided, operation of Yamhill lock was discontinued Feb- ruary 7, 1954, and the lock and adjacent property reported surplus and subsequently turned over to Yamhill County January 16, 1959. Total costs under the existing project, from Federal funds, have been $10,140,037, of which $689,170 was for new work; $9,450,867 for maintenance. In addition the sum of $106,433 was expended between September 24, 1900 and June 30, 1935, on operating and care of the improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes. The additional sums of $7,500 were expended from contributed funds for maintenance and $299,900 from Emergency Relief Adminis- tration funds for new work. 1730 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

WILLAMETTE RIVER AT WILLAMETTE FALLS, OREG. Location. The locks and dam covered by this project are located at Willamette Falls, a rocky reef in the Willamette River at Oregon City, Oreg., about 26 miles above the mouth of the river. Existing project. This provides for the construction of a new single-life main lock and a guard lock each with clear dimensions of 56 feet by 400 feet and a minimum depth over the sills of 91/2 feet, to replace the authorized existing facilities which were pro- vided 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 con- crete 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: Usable lock dimensions....... Series of 4 locks, each 175 by 37 feet.

SA 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 Zellerbach Corp., and the Portland Ry., Light & Power Co. 8 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 ex- treme 50 feet. The estimated Federal cost (1960) is $11,300,000. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years is $166,104. RIVERS AND HARBORS - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1731 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. The Crown Zellerbach Corp. has 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. This wharf is used for the receipt of mill supplies and the shipment of paper and paper products.

Operations and results during fiscal year. The canal and locks were in operation during the fiscal year except for the period 3:00 a.m. March 22 to 12:00 p.m. March 25, 1960, for maintenance dredging and removal of debris. Ordinary maintenance of the grounds and facilities was accomplished as required. Replacement of a guide boom and removal of a rock ledge at downstream lock entrance, and replacement of a rockfilled crib' with a rockfilled sheet pile cell at the upstream lock entrance were completed by contract September 1959. A contract was awarded at the end of the fiscal year for reconstructing the lock wall at the left side of Chamber No. 3 and replacing the crib at the down- stream entrance. Costs for the fiscal year were $198,953, maintenance (operation and care). Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing canal and locks originally constructed by private interests in 1873 were pur- chased by the United States in April 1915 for $375,000. The final report on the purchase and rehabilitation of the canal and locks is contained in the Annual Report for 1923, when the project was reported 98 percent complete. No further work on that phase of the existing project has been necessary. The con- trolling 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. 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, 1939, and the River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945. Total costs have been $4,151,108 of which $545,005 was for new work ($377,122 for purchase and rehabilitation of existing lock and canal and $28,883 for new lock from River and Harbor funds and $139,000 for new lock from Flood Control funds), and 1732 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 $3,606,103 for maintenance (operation and care) from River and Harbor funds. In addition $300,000 was expended from contributed funds for new work on existing canal and lock and $452,110 was expended between April 16, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on the operation and care of the improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriations for such purposes.

COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WASH., AND PORTLAND, OREG. Location. This project embraces 1031/2 miles of Columbia River below Vancouver, Wash., and 14 miles of Willamette River below Portland, Oreg. For description of Columbia River see page 1740 and of Willamette River, page 1727. 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 mainte- nance 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 pier- head 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 two turning basins of the same depth at Vancouver, 800 feet wide and approximately 2,000 and 3,000 feet long for the upper RIVERS AND HARBORS - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1733 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.)

ARMY, 1960 wings totaling about 1,460 feet in length; and for the construc- tion of stone and pile dikes and revetments. The plane of reference in the estuary from the mouth to Har- rington Point is mean lower low water; thence to Portland and Vancouver, low water. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at the mouth of the Columbia is about 8 feet, and at Portland and Vancouver about 21/2 feet at low stages of the rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 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 is $5,384,677. The average an- nual maintenance cost for the past 5 years is $1,970,959. Terminal facilities. At Portland, Oreg., there are under public ownership and open to all on equal terms, three terminals for handling general cargo, bulk grain, coal, phosphate, lumber, oils, and similar commodities. Under private ownership and opera- tion there are 3 general cargo, 5 flour and grain, 3 lumber, 1 ce- ment, 1 bulk cement, 1 bulk creosote, 1 salt, 1 paper and paper products terminal, 1 ore and chemical, and 10 fuel oil and gasoline wharves and piers, besides outfitting and repair, sand and gravel, and construction equipment wharves. Three of the private gen- eral cargo terminals subscribe to Commission of Public Docks Terminal Tariff 2A and 4 of the 5 flour and grain facilities publish terminal tariffs and may therefore be considered to be open to the public on equal terms. Modern ship-repair and outfitting fa- cilities complete with 3 dry docks, 1 of 2,000-ton, 1 of 12,500-ton and 1 on lease from the U.S. Navy of 14,000-ton capacity are available at Swan Island. Also available at this facility to the public on equal terms are 5 rail-mounted gantry cranes each of 45-ton capacity, and 1 truck-mounted crane, as well as machine shops, rail lines, staging, compressed air, steam, electricity, and water. Seven berths are available at the outfitting dock, which are open to all on equal terms. Also located within the harbor are one dry dock of 85-ton capacity, three privately owned marine railways for handling small vessels and barges, as well as several skid-type haulouts on which launches and other small craft can be accommodated. Heavy-life equipment at the general cargo wharve include 10 locomotive cranes and auto cranes with up to 35-ton capacity, one 150-ton swinging boom derrick, one 100- ton swinging boom derrick, one 100-ton shear-leg derrick crane, two 35-ton traveling gantry cranes and two 75-ton floating cranes. Other port facilities include transit warehouses, cold storage plants, a rail-car tripper, grain barge unloaders, and the largest grain elevator on tidewater west of the Mississippi River with a capacity for storing 8 million bushels of grain. Within the boundary of the Portland harbor there are facilities for storing 11,400,000 bushels of grain for transhipment by water. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with a 1 million bushel capacity grain elevator and flour mill and facili- ties for receiving petroleum products by tanker, and bunkering RIVERS AND HARBORS - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1735 of all types of vessels and modern facilities for the handling of all types of general cargo. There are also private wharves used exclusively for receiving fresh fish, the servicing of fishing ves- sels, and handling sand and gravel. At Vancouver, Wash., below the interstate bridges, there are two municipal terminal wharves. There is also a privately owned wharf for the shipment of lumber, a large paper mill, a fuel and gasoline terminal, a newly constructed petroleum tank farm, a cement-unloading facility and 2 grain elevators with a capacity of 4,500,000 and 3 million bushels of grain, respectively. The port of Longview has a public terminal on the Columbia River at Longview, Wash. The International Paper Co. and Weyerhaeuser Co. also have wharves in the same vicinity for the shipment of lumber. Located downstream from the Weyerhaeuser wharf is a facility for the receipt of salt. A privately operated grain elevator with a capacity of 5,365,000 bushels 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 by tankers. Located at the port dock there is a 150-ton capacity heavy-lift crane, a 50-ton capacity gantry crane, and three 25-ton locomo- tive cranes for public use. Located to the rear of the public ter- minal is a bulk-storage warehouse. At other locations on the Columbia River between Portland and Columbia River entrance, there are sufficient private facili- ties to accommodate the river vessels and fishing craft, and at seven points there are large sawmill docks used exclusively for shipment of lumber in oceangoing vessels. These facilities, with planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. (For further details see Port Series Nos. 33 and 34, Corps of Engineers, published in 1953 and 1954, respectively.) Operations and results during fiscal year. A total of 10,838,956 cubic yards of material were removed from bars and shoals in the main and side channels, 7,243,185 cubic yards by Government plant and 3,595,671 cubic yards by contract. Construction of three pile dikes in Columbia River near St. Helens, Oreg., was completed and work was in progress on reconstruction and repair of dikes and dolphins between Corbett and Bradwood, Oreg. Contract was awarded in June 1960 for construction of dredging ranges and survey beacon dolphins in the vicinity of Tongue Point. Total costs for the fiscal year were $2,043,454. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted September 1950. The main channel 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. The auxiliary channel in the vicinity of Longview was completed in 1949, and the improve- ment of the old mouth of Cowlitz River and the small-boat moor- ing basin at Astoria were completed in 1950. The controlling depth at low water in Columbia River from its 1736 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 mouth to the mouth of Willamette River is 35 feet. Above the mouth of Willamette River the Vancouver channel has a con- trolling 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.

At McLean Point, on the north side of the bay, about 2 miles from the entrance, the Yaquina Bay Dock & Dredge Co., Inc., has 2 berths capable of serving oceangoing vessels. One of these berths is 420 feet long; the second, a new berth, is 450 feet in length. At the time the new berth was dredged, a new retaining wall and fill of 6 acres was constructed adjacent to deep water. The company now has a total of 17 acres of filled land adjacent to deep water, and of this total, 7 acres was constructed in 1956-57. This facility has the neces- sary carriers and lift trucks for the handling of lumber cargoes, and is open to all on equal terms. On the south side of the bay immediately above the 101 Highway Bridge, ,about a mile and a quarter above the entrance, the Georgia-Pacific Corp. maintains private dolphins with a frontage of 700 feet for loading ocean- going vessels from barges. The port of Newport has a public wharf with 400 feet of frontage for the servicing of fishing boats. In addition, the port of Newport maintains about 500 feet of protected float landings for use of seagoing fishing vessels. There are several seafood companies located on the bay which have their own facilities for the handling of fresh fish and crab. Supplies and petroleum products are readily available for small vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Advance engineering was started for deepening of the bar and the inner channel and for jetty work, as authorized by the River and Har- bor Act approved July 3, 1958. Research for the removal of sub- aqueous rock was in progress at the end of the fiscal year. Maintenance: A total of 131,958 cubic yards of material was removed from the entrance bar and inner channel by Government plant. Total costs for the fiscal year were $100,027 of which $7,382 was for new work and $92,645 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Requirements of local cooperation for all work except the Scholfield River Channel modification have been complied with. The River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954, provides in connection with construction of Scholfield River Channel, that local interests contribute in cash $10,000 toward the cost of the new work; agree to furnish, free of cost to the United States, 1750 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 suitable spoil-disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and mainte- nance of the project. A non-Federal contribution of $10,000 is required under the terms of the project authorization. Submis- sion of assurances of local cooperation was requested of Port of Umpqua, July 3, 1956. On April 8, 1957, local interests re- ported inability to furnish required cooperation. Terminal facilities. At Gardiner there is approximately 650 feet of wharf frontage, of which 60 feet is publicly owned. At Reedsport there is a privately owned mill dock for the shipment of lumber, and a dock for the receipt and shipment of river-run sand and gravel. The port of Umpqua owns 1 wharf with 456 feet of water frontage, of which 228 feet is usable for vessels and another with about 75 feet of water frontage which has not been used generally for commercial shipping. On Bolon Island across the river from Reedsport a wharf has been constructed which has about 5 acres of open storage for lumber and is avail- able to all on equal terms. At Winchester Bay, 2 miles from river entrance, there is a public landing float with a wooden pile and timber shore approach, and a privately owned wharf used by ex- cursion and commercial fishing vessels. The present facilities are considered adequate for the existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A total of 48,452 cubic yards of material were removed from the entrance bar by Government hopper dredge. Total costs for the fiscal year were $31,232 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 98 per- cent complete. The north jetty was completed in 1940. The extension to the original south jetty was completed in 1938 and construction of a new training jetty on the south side of the entrance to replace the original south jetty which was partially destroyed by storms was completed in 1951. Dredging of a 22- foot channel from the mouth of the river to Reedsport was com- pleted in 1941. The Gardiner Channel and turning basin was completed in 1949 and the Winchester Bay Channel and mooring basin in 1956.

This river rises in the Cascade Range in south- western Oregon, flows westerly through the Coast Range, and empties into the Pacific Ocean 264 miles south of the mouth of Columbia River and 381 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5951.) Existing project. This provides for two jetties at the en- trance, and a channel 13 feet deep and 300 feet wide from the ocean to a point immediately below the State Highway Bridge, approximately one mile, including a widening of the channel at a point about 0.25 mile below the bridge to form a turning basin 13 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 650 feet long. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water RIVERS AND HARBORS - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1755 is 5.5 feet, and the extreme range of tide from lower low to higher high water is estimated to be 14 feet. The estimated Federal cost of new work (1960) is $4,220,000. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (S. Doc. 83, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). The latest published map is in this document. Local cooperation. The authorizing act provides that local interests agree to: (a) Furnish, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil- disposal areas necessary for new work and for subsequent main- tenance when and as required; (b) provide adequate public ter- minal and transfer facilities open to all on equal terms; (c) dredge and maintain project depths in the berthing space adja- cent to and within 50 feet of the terminal and transfer facilities; and (d) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvement. Total esti- mated cost for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $195,000 (1960). Terminal facilities. No terminal or transfer facilities exist other than a few landings for fishing and recreational craft. At Wedderburn, across the river from Gold Beach, there is a facility to accommodate excursion passengers and small freight items destined for the various landings between Wedderburn and Ag- ness, Ore.

Chetco River rises in the Siskiyou Mountains of the coast range at an elevation of 4,000 feet, flows for a distance of about 51 miles in a circuitous route, and empties into the Pacific Ocean at Brookings, Oreg., 300 miles south of the entrance to Columbia River and 345 miles north of San Francisco Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 5702 and 5896.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for stabilization of the channel through the bar at the mouth of the river by the construction of two jetties, and dredging. Mean lower low water is the plane of reference. The tidal range in the cove between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6.9 feet and the extreme range is from 2.6 feet below to 9.7 feet above mean lower low water. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, House Document 817, 77th Con- gress, 2d session. The estimated Federal cost of new work (1960) is $498,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total costs of all re- quirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $40,000 (1960). Terminal facilities. At the Sporthaven dock there is a private facility open to all on equal terms for the loading of lumber barges. This lumber facility is barely adequate for the existing commerce. A privately owned small-boat basin for the accommo- dation of fishing and recreational craft is located downstream from the town of Harbor, Oreg. The outer cove does not contain any terminal facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year. Removal of rock pinnacles and abandoned bridge structure from between the newly constructed jetties was completed by hired labor at the end of fiscal year 1959. Total costs for the fiscal year were $7,776 for construction charges incurred in fiscal year 1959, and for the payment of blast damage claims. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the jetties started June 1957 was completed December 1957. Removal of rock pinnacles and an abandoned bridge structure were accom- plished June 1959, completing the project.

NAVIGATION WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION SNAGGING AND CLEARING OF CHANNELS IN THE INTEREST OF NAVIGATION UNDER AUTHORITY OF SECTION 3 OF THE RIVER AND HARBOR ACT APPROVED MARCH 2, 1945 The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, authorized the allotment of not to exceed $300,000 from any appropriation heretofore or hereafter made for any one fiscal year for the improvement of rivers and harbors, for removing accumulated snags and other debris, and for protecting, clearing, and straight- ening 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. Funds in the amount of $115,979 have been allotted the Port- land District to June 30, 1960, for work under this authority. Operations during fiscal year 1960 consisted of the removal from Alsea River, Oregon, of 159 abandoned piling and 38 snags. Work completed June 1960. Costs during the fiscal year were $3,601. Total costs to June 30, 1960, have been $113,980. 24. ALTERATION OF INTERSTATE BRIDGE, COLUMBIA RIVER, PORTLAND, OREGON TO VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON Location. Across Columbia River at river mile 106.5 between Portland, Oreg. and Vancouver, Wash. Existing project. This provides, under the Truman-Hobbs Act, for the modification of the existing Interstate Bridge cross- ing the Columbia River. The highway departments of Oregon and Washington have completed a new bridge parallel to the existing bridge. The permit for the new bridge requires that certain alterations and clearances for safe navigation be made in the existing bridge to equal the new structure. The estimated (1960) Federal cost is $1,177,000. Non-Federal costs amount to $1,204,100. The project was authorized under order to alter issued by Sec- retary of the Army dated October 16, 1955, in accord with Truman-Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940, which provides for alter- ation of any bridge which at any time unreasonably obstructs the free navigation of any navigable waters in the United States. Local cooperation. All work is being done by the Joint High- way Commissions in accord with Truman-Hobbs Act, as amended. Operations and results during fiscal year. Bridge alteration work started June 16, 1958, under contract by the bridge owners was completed and opened to toll traffic January 8, 1960. Total cost for the fiscal year from Federal funds was $1,035,132. Condition at end of fiscal year. Alteration of the existing bridge, in the interest of safe navigation through the parallel bridges, has been completed. Total costs from Federal funds to June 30, 1960, have been $1,076,747.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, PORTLAND, OREG. DISTRICT Location. The Willamette River is formed by the Coast and Middle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles, and enters the Columbia River, 101.5 miles above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square miles and lies between the Cascade range on the east and the coast range on the west. The major tributaries of the Willamette River rise in the Cascade 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, navi- gation, and other purposes in the Willamette River Basin, as set forth in House Document 544, 75th Congress, 3d session, and authorized $11,300,000 for the initiation and partial accomplish- ment of the plan recommended for initial development, the reser- voirs and related works to be selected by the Chief of Engineers. Subsequent Flood Control Acts, 1941 through 1958, authorized additional flood-control and other works and increased the monetary authority to $575,300,000 for the Columbia River Basin, including the Willamette River Basin.

Local cooperation for other projects is contained in individual reports for those projects. Operations and results during fiscal year. The progress of preliminary work and status of operations on projects selected for construction are given in individual reports for those projects. No costs were incurred other than those shown under the indi- vidual reports. Condition at end of fiscal year. The following projects have been completed and are in continuous operation: Fern Ridge Res- ervoir, completed in August 1951; Cottage Grove Reservoir, March 1952; and Dorena Reservoir, October 1952. The Lookout Point and Detroit Reservoir projects are complete except for miscel- laneous items of minor construction and improvement and are in operation for flood-control and power-generation purposes. Construction of Hills Creek and Cougar Reservoir projects is in progress. Advance planning for construction of Green Peter, Holley, Fall Creek, and Blue River Reservoir projects, was in progress dur- ing the fiscal year. Details of operation, construction, and the financial status of the projects are given in the individual reports. FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1761 During the low-water season, July-September, supplemental water releases are made from the Willamette River Basin Reser- voirs for conservation purposes. Interests which benefit from the increased downstream flows include irrigation, navigation, power, pollution abatement, and recreation. Although optimum regulation cannot be provided for every conservation interest, water released from the reservoirs during the low-water season for a particular purpose will usually provide benefits to other conservation uses as well. The basic policy is to provide the most beneficial overall regulation, consistent with established water- use priorities. The following table summarizes the status of projects auth- orized under "Williamette River basin, U.S. Army Engineer Dis- trict, Portland, Oreg."

DETROIT RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location. On North Santiam River, with damsite 60 miles from the mouth and 45 miles southeast of Salem, Oreg. North Santiam River flows north and west for 85 miles, and unites with South Santiam River to form Santiam River, which 10 miles downstream enters the Willamette River 108 miles above its mouth. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of one main dam and a reregulating dam, both with 1764 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 power-generating facilities. Detroit Dam is a concrete-gravity structure approximately 1,522 feet in length and 454 feet in height from foundation to roadway deck. The spillway is a gate-controlled overflow section, and the out- let works are gate-controlled conduits through the dam. The powerhouse with two units having a capacity of 50,000 kilowatts each is located in the right abutment immediately below the dam. The reservoir has a storage capacity at full pool of 454,900 acre- feet. It is being operated as a unit in the coordinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette Valley from floods, to increase low waterflows in the interest of navigation and irrigation, to generate power, and for other purposes. The reregulating dam located 3 miles 'downstream at the Big Cliff site is of the concrete- gravity type, approximately 172 feet in height from foundation to roadway deck. The power installation consists of one unit with a capacity of 18,000 kilowatts. The reservoir created by the dam has a storage capacity of 5,930 acre-feet at full pool. The project is a unit of comprehensive plan for flood-control and other purposes in the Willamette Basin. The existing proj- ect was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Willamette River Basin contained in 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, and the Flood Control Act of June 30, 1948, modified the existing project to provide for the installation of hydroelectric power-generating facilities including the construc- tion of a reregulating dam. The cost of the project (1960) is $62,730,000 of which $8,248,000 is for lands and damages, including relocations, and $54,482,000 for construction. The project has been under major maintenance and operation status for 5 years. Average annual costs for this period have been $433,739. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: At the end of the fiscal year a contract was awarded for furnishing and for installing equipment in Detroit and Big Cliff powerhouses for the centralization of controls. Maintenance: The project was in operation throughout the fiscal year with ordinary maintenance and care accomplished as required. Installation of lightning arrestors was done by contract. At the end of June 1960 a contract was awarded for rehabilitation of the log boom. During the fiscal year a total of 506,278,000 killowatt-hours of electrical energy was generated at the project, of which 502,941,000 killowatt-hours were delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the marketing agency. A total of 237,100 persons visited the reservoir area during the fiscal year for recreational purposes. Two storms occurred during the fiscal year 1960 on the Santiam River Basin. Both storms, February 8, 1960 and March 29, 1960, FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1765 had peak inflows of 12,200 cubic feet per second. However, the first storm required 50,000 acre-feet of storage to control it but the second storm used only 24,000 acre-feet. Flooding in the North Santiam river was avoided by regulation of Detroit and Big Cliff Dams, but the lower Santiam River near Jefferson, Oregon flooded several times during the storm periods. Conservation fiilling of the reservoir was accomplished on schedule. The reservoir reached maximum conservation pool, elevation 1563.5, on May 3, 1960. For the purpose of debris clearing in the reservoir area, the pool was raised to elevation 1569 during the middle of June 1960. Total costs for the fiscal year were $463,371 of which $10,114 was for new work and $453,257 for maintenance, operation and care. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project initiated in May 1947 is complete except for the installation of equipment for the purpose of centralizing controls. The two generating units at Detroit powerhouse were placed in commercial operation June and October 1953, respectively. At Big Cliff Powerhouse the single generating unit was placed on the line June 1954. Use of Big Cliff Dam for regulating the fluctuating flow from the Detroit units was effected in October 1953. Total costs have been $65,274,503 of which $62,718,241 is for new work and $2,556,262 for operation and maintenance.

The plan of improvement as described in the project document, House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session, has been modified. The plan now proposed for Green Peter project provides for the construction of a concrete gravity dam having a gate-controlled spillway. The outlet works will 1766 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY,1960 consist of two conduits through the spillway, discharging into a stilling basin. A powerplant with an installed capacity of 90,000 kilowatts will be located on the right bank adjacent to the spillway stilling basin. The dam will form a reservoir having a storage capacity at full pool of 430,000 acre-feet, extending 6.5 miles up Quartzville Creek and some 7.5 miles up the Middle Santiam above the creek junction, forming a Y-shaped pool. A reregulating dam located at the White Bridge site about 4.5 miles downstream from Green Peter site, will be a concrete- gravity structure with a gate-controlled spillway. The power installation will be one unit with a capacity of 15,000 kilowatts. An alternate location for the reregulating reservoir is being con- sidered near the town of Foster about 3 miles downstream from the White Bridge site. The improvement will function as a unit in the coordinated system of reservoirs for multiple-purpose development of the water resources in Willamette River basin. The project is one of the reservoirs authorized by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, to be constructed in lieu of Sweet Home Reservoir authorized by the Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. The Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954, authorized installation of power facilities at Green Peter Dam and construc- tion of White Bridge reregulating reservoir. The estimated cost of the project (1960) is $65,600,000, of which $14,600,000 is for lands and damages including relocations, and $51 million for construction. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Supplement to "general design" and "real estate" memoranda was completed. Broadening of scope of "relocations" design memorandum was also accomplished. Contract plans and specifications for the first proposed road relocation were 60 percent complete. Total costs for the fiscal year were $81,587. Condition at end of fiscal year. No construction has been done. Advance engineering, planning, and field operations, for prepara- tion of "design memoranda" and for a road relocation contract have been in progress. Total costs to June 30, 1960, have been $1,104,937, which sum includes $113,000 pro rata share of site selection studies for alternate sites in lieu of Sweet Home Reservoir, originally authorized.

The drainage area tributary to this reservoir is 252 square miles. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earthfill dam, 6,360 feet long at the crest, and two auxiliary dikes, 850 feet and 3,680 feet long, along the north- easterly boundary of the reservoir. The main dam has a maxi- mum height of 44 feet above the streambed. The spillway, lo- cated 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 storage capacity of 101,200 acre-feet, at full pool, protects the Long Tom River Valley and is being operated as a unit of the coor- dinated reservoir system to protect the Willamette River Valley generally and to increase low waterflows for navigation. FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1771 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 $3,669,046 for construction and $826,734 for lands and damages, a total of $4,495,780. The average annual maintenance and operation cost for the past 5 years was $57,406. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. The dam and res- ervoir were in operation during the fiscal year with ordinary maintenance accomplished as required. During the fiscal year 1960 a total of 407,800 persons visited the reservoir area for recreational purposes. Functioning of Fern Ridge Reservoir was normal during the fiscal year 1960. One storm and one freshet occurred during the year but was completely controlled on the Long Tom River. The storm of February 9, 1960 had an estimated 8,500 cubic feet per second peak inflow into the reservoir and required 27,500 acre-feet of storage to control it. During the time of the storm the outflow from the reservoir was only 600 cubic feet per second. The freshet of March 8, 1960 had a peak inflow of 5,500 cubic feet per second and required 22,000 acre-feet storage for control. Because of below-normal precipitation during the months of October through January, filling of the reservoir was started about 10 days ahead of schedule. The reservoir reached full pool, elevation 373.5, on May 1, 1960, as scheduled. In the interest of recreation, which is more developed on Fern Ridge than on the other reservoirs, drawing down of the reservoir was held up until stored waters of Cottage Grove and Dorena were exhausted. Drawing down of Fern Ridge Reservoir was initiated on August 21 and minimum conservation pool was reached on November 28. The reservoir releases, in coordination with releases from other projects in the Willamette River Basin, substantially increased the low natural flow of the Long Tom and Willamette Rivers in the interest of irrigation, navigation, pollution abatement, and fish life. Total costs for the fiscal year were $71,792 for maintenance, operation and care. Condition at end of fiscal year.

LOOKOUT POINT RESERVOIR (MERIDIAN SITE), WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location. On the Middle Fork, Willamette River at meridian site, 21.3 miles from the mouth. The Middle Fork, Willamette River, rises in Lane County on the western slope of the Cas- cade range and flows northwesterly to its junction with the Coast Fork, which is the head of the main stem Willamette River. The damsite is approximately 22 miles southeast 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 Meridian site and a reregulating dam 3 miles downstream at Dexter site. Both dams are earth- and-gravel-fills with concrete-gravity spillways and have power- generating facilities. The main dam has a height of 258 feet from foundation to deck and is 3,381 feet long at the crest, forming a reservoir 14.2 miles long providing storage of 456,000 acre-feet at full-pool level. The spillway, 274 feet long, is a gate- controlled overflow type, forming the right abutment. Outlet works consisting of slide-gate controlled conduits pass through the spillway section. The powerhouse has three main generating units with a capacity of 120,000 kilowatts. The reregulating dam has a maximum height of 107 feet above the foundation and is 2,765 feet long at the crest, forming a full pool of 27,500 acre-feet extending upstream to the main dam and providing pondage to regulate Lookout Point powerhouse water releases to a uniform discharge. The spillway consists of a gate-controlled overflow FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1775 section 509 feet long forming the right abutment. Flow regu- lation will be accomplished by use of the spillway gates and re- leases through the powerhouse, which contains one 15,000-kilowatt unit. Lookout Point and Dexter Dams 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 waterflows for navigation, irrigation, and other purposes. The existing project, authorized as a unit of the comprehen- sive 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 receational 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 (1960) is $87,870,000 of which $38,243,000 is for lands and damages including relocations, and $49,627,000 for construction. The project has been under major maintenance and operation status for 5 years. Average annual costs for the past 5 years have been $410,783. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Reloca- tion of Highway 58 and the Southern Pacific Railway in the vicinity of Voss Slide was completed by contract December 1959. Reroofing of the powerhouse was also completed. At the end of the year a contract was awarded for installation of safety devices for the fish facilities at Dexter holding ponds and for the Oak- ridge and Leaburg hatcheries. Ordinary maintenance (operation and care) was continued throughout the year. During fiscal year 1960, a total of 394,181,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical-power energy was generated at the project, of which 392,804,000 killowatt-hours were delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the marketing agency. A total of 127,200 persons visited the reservoir area for rec- reational purposes, during the fiscal year. During the fiscal year 1960, two storms and one freshet were registered in the Middle Fork, Willamette Basin. The storm of February 8, 1960 had a peak inflow of 16,500 cubic feet per second and required 75,000 acre-feet of storage to control it. The storm of March 7, 1960 with a peak inflow of 13,700 cubic feet per second required 73,000 acre-feet storage for control. The freshet of May 21, 1960 had a peak inflow of 10,500 cubic feet per second and was well controlled at the dam. Conservation filling of the reservoir was initiated 10 days ahead of schedule due to the below-normal winter precipitation. How- ever, during the spring months precipitation became above normal and filling of the reservoir was put back on the regular 1776 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 filling schedule. The reservoir reached maximum conservation pool, elevation 926, on May 9, 1960. For the purpose of debris clearing in the reservoir area, the pool was raised to elevation 927.5. Extra releases from the reservoir during the latter part of July and during the month of August 1959 in coordination with re- leases from other projects in the Willamette River Basin, sub- stantially increased the low natural flows of the Middle Fork and Willamette Rivers in the interest of irrigation, navigation, and other water uses. Total costs for the fiscal year were $965,881 of which $523,825 was for new work and $442,056 for maintenance, operation, and care. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project initiated May 1947 is complete except for the accomplishment of items of improvement carried over into fiscal year 1961. At Lookout Point powerhouse, generating units Nos. 1 and 2 were placed in commercial operation December 16, 1954, and February 16, 1955, respectively. The third unit was placed on the line April 24, 1955. At Dexter powerhouse the single unit was placed on the line May 16, 1955. Use of Dexter Dam for reregulating the fluctuating flow from the Lookout Point units was effected in December 1954. Total costs to June 30, 1960, have been $89,787,232 of which $87,648,233 was for new work and $2,138,999 for maintenance, operation and care.

DORENA RESERVOIR, WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OREG. Location. Dorena Reservoir 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. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for con- struction of an earthfill dam, 3,388 feet long at the crest, rising 145 feet above the streambed, with a reservoir providing usable FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1777 storage capacity at normal pool level of 70,500 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 Federal cost is $13,529,473. The average annual maintenance and operation cost for the past 5 years has been $40,237. Operations and results during fiscal year. The dam and res- ervoir were in operation throughout the fiscal year with ordinary maintenance accomplished as required. During the fiscal year 1960, a total of 42,700 persons visited the reservoir area for recreational purposes. During the fiscal year 1960, functioning of Dorena Reservoir was normal. Two storms occurred on the Row River Basin during the fiscal year but were controlled at Dorena Dam. The larger of the two storms occurred on March 8, 1960. It had a peak inflow of 8,500 cubic feet per second and required 19,000 acre-feet of storage to control it. The other storm with a peak inflow of 7,700 cubic feet per second used 15,000 acre-feet of storage space for control. Both floods were controlled com- pletely on the Row River Basin. Due to below normal precipitation in the Row River Basin during the winter months, filling of the reservoir was started 10 days ahead of schedule. However, during the spring months precipitation became well above normal and filling of the reservoir was put back on the regular filling schedule. The reservoir reached maximum conservation pool, elevation 832, on May 18, 1960, one day ahead of schedule. For the purpose of debris clearing during the summer, the pool was raised about 1.5 feet above the maxi- mum conservation pool. Releases for navigation, irrigation, and for other purposes began in the middle of July 1959 and continued during the month of August 1959. Total costs for the fiscal year were $54,695 for maintenance, operation, and care. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project started June 1941 was completed October 1952.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD-CONTROL WORKS Funds in the amount of $81,200 have been allotted to June 30, 1960 to cover costs of inspections of completed local flood-control protection projects. The purpose of the inspection is to deter- mine the condition of the completed works and to ascertain whether those works are being properly maintained by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. A total of 53 diking and drainage districts (19 in Washington and 34 in Ore- gon) along the Columbia River; and levees and revetments at 12 districts or locations along various Oregon coast streams were inspected. Bank protection works at 41 locations in Willamette River Basin were also inspected. In most cases a representative FLOOD CONTROL - PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1805 of the diking districts accompanied the Portland District Inspector in making the inspections of their districts. Deficiencies in main- tenance and the need for repairs were pointed out to the diking districts' representatives on the ground and a report was made for each district inspected on the conditions found with recommenda- tions for correction of deficiencies. Copies of these reports were furnished the diking districts concerned. The campaign to improve maintenance of completed Federal projects initiated by the House Appropriations Committee on Civil Functions, was continued. Periodic contract was maintained with the uncooperative areas reported in fiscal year 1959, to ascertain any change in their attitude and to provide technical assistance if requested. Of the 104 local flood protection projects in the Portland, Oreg., district requiring maintenance by local interests, 7 were considered deficient in maintenance work. Costs for the fiscal year were $17,308. Total costs to June 30, 1960 have been $78,383.

FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Operationsand results during fiscal year. Studies for justifica- tion of work at Larson Inlet, Coos Bay, Oreg., were initiated under authority of Public Law 685. However the district was directed that further studies should proceed under Section 208 of the 1954 Flood Control Act. A letter report was prepared June 1960 recommending that approval be granted for construction of the snagging and clearing project. Local interests will comply with requirements of local cooperation under the authorizing act and make a cash contribution in the order of $12,000 in consider- ation of increased land use and enhancement benefits. Total costs for the fiscal year were $3,687. Total costs to June 30, 1960, have been $369,726 for new work.

COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA, AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES The principal items of work included under the subject studies as as follows: a. Hydrologic studies, consisting of preparing hydrologic data, in answer to various inquiries, for areas not associated with projects for which funds are available. b. Derivation of flood forecasting procedures, which consists of compiling and analyzing stream-flow, temperature, and precipita- tion data, in order to forecast and disseminate information on flood volume and peak discharges for Columbia River and major tributaries. c. Compiling and distributing weather and river stage data, which consists of daily compilation and distribution to those con- cerned within this office, of data obtained from the U.S. Weather Bureau and Corps of Engineer field offices as a basis for normal functioning of the organization. d. Civil Works Investigations: During the fiscal year a con- tract to fabricate, test, paint, and deliver 48 feet of 8-foot diameter pipe, one transition section, 20 feet of rectangular conduit, one 17- by 30-inch slide valve and accessories was completed under CWI 825. In June 1960, a contract was awarded for installation of the above items under CWI 825. No work was done on CWI 826 during the fiscal year because of lack of funds. Under CWI 857, the necessary reconstruction of an existing model of Howard Hansen Dam was completed in preparation for a series of tests to determine downpull forces on various gate bottom shapes. Total costs for the fiscal year were $67,839. Total costs to June 30, 1960 have been $158,851.

Puget Sound is located in the western part of the State of Washington. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 6300, 6450, and 6460.) Previous projects. Project adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 2, 1882, contemplated clearing and maintaining the navigable portions of the Skagit, Stillaguamish, Nooksack, Snohomish, and Snoqualmie Rivers, Wash., free from snags, debris, and drift, by means of a shallow-draft stern-wheel snag boat constructed for this purpose. For further details, see page 2003 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1869 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for maintenance of Puget Sound and its tributary waters by snagging and dredging. The actual cost for new work was $43,337. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $125,320. The existing project was adopted by the River 1809 1810 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and Harbor Act of July 13, 1892 (Annual Report for 1893, p. 3425.) The latest published map is in the Annual Report for 1913, page 3127. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. The terminal facilities at the numerous localities on Puget Sound and its tributary waters are, in general, considered adequate for existing commerce.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1811 2. 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 What- com 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 An- nual Report for 1915 and page 1888 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for (1) dredging a channel in Whatcom Creek Waterway from deep water to the head of the harbor, 363.2 feet wide, 30 feet deep at mean lower low water to a point 750 feet from the inner end, thence 18 feet deep for the inner 750 feet; (2) Squalicum Creek Waterway, including dredging an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 26 feet deep from deep water in the bay to the main pierhead line, and main- tenance of the southerly half and westerly end of the Squalicum Creek Basin to a depth of 26 feet at mean lower low water, pro- vided that no dredging can be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or similar structures; and (3) a small-boat basin adjacent to Squalicum Creek Waterway by construction and maintenance of two sections of rubblemound breakwater with combined length of 3,900 feet, including removal of the existing rubblemound breakwater heretofore maintained under the existing project and using the rock therefrom in construction of the new breakwater, and including maintenance of minimum depths of 12 feet in the entrance to the basin. 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 estimated cost for new work, exclusive of amount expended on previous project, is $1,551,000 (July 1960), including $1,507,- 000 Corps of Engineers funds, $15,000 U.S. Coast Guard funds, and $29,000 local cash contribution. Other non-Federal costs are estimated at $791,000 (July 1960). Th average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $4,425.

Fully complied with, except the provisions of the 1954 and 1958 River and Harbor Acts, as follows: The 1954 River and Harbor Act requires local interests to (a) furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights- of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for new work and sub- sequent maintenance, when and as required, including title to that portion of the breakwater already constructed by them and including the right to remove rock from the previous project breakwater for use in the new Federal work; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvement; (c) remove the timber-pile portions of the existing breakwater, perform all dredging re- quired to provide and maintain in the basin a depth of 12 feet at mean lower low water; (d) construct protective dolphins at the ends of the breakwaters when and as required; and (e) pro- vide, maintain, and operate adequate moorage facilities, utilities, and a public landing with suitable service and supply facilities, open to all on equal terms. In compliance with the requirements of the 1954 River and Harbor Act, the port of Bellingham has partially completed the required work by improving the existing boat basin since 1945 by constructing breakwaters, bulkheads, and floats, and by dredging; and on August 17, 1956, adopted a resolution formally accepting the responsibility for complying with the terms of local cooperation. The port has (a) furnished without cost to the United States all rights-of-way and suitable spoil-disposal areas required for new work and subsequent main- tenance, including title to that portion of the breakwater already constructed by them, and including the right to remove rock from the previous project breakwater for use in the new Federal work; (b) removed the timber-pile portions of the existing break- water; (c) constructed protective dolphins at the ends of the breakwaters; (d) agreed to hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the im- provement; (e) dredged the basin to a depth of 12 feet at mean lower low water; and (f) substantially completed construction of moorage facilities, utilities, and a public landing with suitable service and supply facilities. In meeting these requirements, the port of Bellingham has expended $58,500 for dredging and $58,000 for relocation work, and is engaged in construction of mooring and terminal facilities and utilities at estimated costs of $500,000, $100,000, and $74,500, respectively, for a total estimated cost of $791,000. The work as a whole is about 49 percent complete. The 1958 River and Harbor Act requires local interests to (a) furnish all necessary easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil- disposal areas for initial work and subsequent maintenance, as required; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages that may result from construction and maintenance of the im- provement; (c) construct and maintain any bulkheads required for retention of dredged material; (d) maintain at project depth approaches and berthing areas adjacent to the terminals border- ing on the 30-foot channel; and (e) contribute in cash or equiva- lent work 3.9 percent of the cost of channel dredging. Local RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1813 interests were requested to furnish required cooperation by letter dated March 15, 1960, and by resolution No. 409 adopted April 1, 1960, the port of Bellingham agreed to comply with the require- ments. However, foundation explorations accomplished after proj- ect authorization revealed that the material to be dredged is not suitable for land filling. Also, the port of Bellingham is not able to furnish bulkheaded disposal sites within the area contemplated in the project document. Thus, it will be necessary to dispose of dredge spoil by pumping into deep water at a greater cost than would have been incurred for pumping to the disposal area con- templated in the project document. The port agreed to assume the extra cost, and in June 1960, contributed $28,260, including a cash contribution of $26,100, and a credit of $2,160 for services performed by the port in accomplishing subsurface investigations. In 1947, the U.S. Navy Department dredged 20,000 cubic yards of material from I and J Street Waterway to provide an access channel 80 feet wide and 15 feet deep to a Naval Reserve Armory. Other improvements, by local interests, from 1937 to 1949, have been accomplished at a cost of $859,650. All costs except $100,000 contributed by the city of Bellingham have been borne by the port of Bellingham. Improvements include dredging, bulk- head and breakwater construction, and moorage facilities. Terminal facilities. There are 23 wharves and piers in Bell- ingham Harbor; eight are located on Whatcom Creek Waterway, four on Squalicum Creek Waterway, and 11 on Bellingham Bay. Three wharves on Whatcom Creek Waterway serve general cargo terminals. Two of these, one which is publicly owned and op- erated and one which is privately owned and operated, are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; the other one is privately owned and operated and serves vessels in the Puget Sound trade. The four wharves on Squalicum Creek Waterway are publicly owned; one oil-handling wharf is publicly operated; the other there are privately operated. The latter three wharves on Squalicum Creek Waterway and the other 16 are used for various industrial purposes. In addition, there is a protected basin, publicly owned and operated, for commercial fishing and pleasure craft. These terminal facilities are considered adequate for ex- isting commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work, by con- tract: Additional work of restoration of the easterly and westerly breakwaters at the small-boat basin was accomplished by placing 11,380 tons of rock during September and October 1959. Costs were $53,486. New work, by hired labor: A condition survey completed in March 1959 disclosed some side slope sloughing and subsidence of the easterly and westerly breakwaters at the small-boat basin, requiring additional rock to fill. Plans and specifications for this work, started in fiscal year 1959, were completed during the fiscal year at a cost of $4,539. General design memorandum and plans and specifications were completed in April 1960 for Whatcom Creek Waterway dredging, and the work was advertised for bids on June 21, 1960. Costs were $6,570. 1814 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Costs during the fiscal year were $64,596, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 89 per- cent complete. Dredging of Whatcom Creek Waterway 26-foot and 18-foot channels was completed in 1913. 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. In 1934, they con- structed a detached rubble breakwater 1,500 feet long south of the basin, and later constructed pile extensions to it. Since 1945, they have also constructed part of the easterly section of the Federal project breakwater. (See "Local cooperation.") As authorized by the 1954 River and Harbor Act, removal of exist- ing breakwater, reconstruction of existing breakwater to a length of 1,840 feet, and construction of new rock breakwater 1,980 feet long, with crest width of 6 feet and top elevation of 15 feet above mean lower low water, were completed in May 1958. The port of Bellingham completed dredging the mooring basin in July and August 1958. Additional work of placing rock where side-slope sloughing and subsidence of the breakwaters had occurred at the small-boat basin was accomplished in September and October 1959. General design memorandum and plans and specifications have been completed for dredging of Whatcom Creek Waterway. The work remaining to be done to complete the project consists of lengthening and deepening the existing 26-foot channel and a portion of the 18-foot channel in Whatcom Creek Waterway to a depth of 30 feet, as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1958. In January 1960, the inner 1,150 feet of Whatcom Creek Water- way had a controlling depth of 15 feet, except along the edges of the waterway, and a depth of 23.7 feet, except along the edges, in the outer 5,300 feet of the waterway. In June 1959, the Squalicum Creek Waterway entrance channel was 20.4 feet deep over a width of 180 feet, and the basin was 19.1 feet deep, except near the edges and at the head of the waterway.

Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $7,000 (July 1959). Terminal facilities. There are 25 wharves and piers on Everett Harbor and Snohomish River--12 are located on Port Gardner Bay, six on the channel to the gap, and seven on Snohomish River. Seven wharves are suitable for use by oceangoing vessels; all of these are located on Port Gardner Bay and East Waterway Chan- nel and one serves a publicly owned and operated general cargo terminal that is open for public use. In addition, there is a pro- tected basin, publicly owned and operated, for commercial fishing 1822 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 and pleasure craft. The remaining wharves are used by barges and light-draft vessels and serve various industrial purposes. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Plans and specifications were prepared, and a contract was awarded on June 22, 1960, for maintenance dredging. Costs during the fiscal year were $3,046, all for maintenance. Condition at end ,of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in July 1958. Dike work was commenced in September 1911 and terminated in September 1912. A 6,000-foot section of the dike was 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 to 12 feet in 1940. Dredging of East Waterway has been com- pleted by local interests. Construction of the spur dike was com- pleted in August 1957. Dredging of settling basin and widen- ing and deepening of channel below 14th Street to widths from 150 feet to 425 feet, and a 15-foot depth over a length of ap- proximately 6,400 feet, were completed in October 1957. Addi- tional riprap was placed along 260 linear feet of embankment on the harbor side of the spur dike in July 1958. Controlling depths in April 1960 were 15 feet by 100 feet to 13.6 feet by 425 feet in the channel from the lower harbor to the settling basin, 7.5 feet by 700 feet by 1,200 feet in the settling basin, and 1.9 feet by 100 feet from the settling basin upstream to the gap in the dike. Controlling depth in East Waterway in May 1960 was 28.5 feet. The main dike was in good condition except for the southerly end. The costs under the existing project to June 30, 1960, have been $657,898 for new work and $443,199 for maintenance, a total of $1,101,097.

CHIEF JOSEPH DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, WASH. Location. The Columbia River rises in Columbia Lake, British Columbia, at elevation 2650, 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1823 River, then west 100 miles to the mouth of the Okanogan River, passing Grand Coulee Dam and Chief Joseph Dam 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 bound- ary, to the Pacific Ocean. The works covered by this project are on the Columbia River just upstream from the mouth of Foster Creek, 11/2 miles upstream from the town of Bridgeport, Wash., and 51 miles downstream from Grand Coulee Dam. (U.S. Geological Survey topographic sheet "Okanogan, Wash.," shows the general locality.) Existing project. The project consists of a straight con- crete gravity overflow dam on the Columbia River, 220 feet high, a powerhouse, and an intake structure of sufficient capacity to utilize future upstream storage. The powerhouse has 16 units installed initially and a substructure for four future units. The ultimate installed capacity will be dependent upon the rate and amount of future development of upstream storage. Present plans provide for future expansion to a maximum development of 27 units. All units are to be 64,000 kilowatts capacity. The estimate of cost for new work (July 1960) is $148,000,000 (16 units). The latest (1955) approved estimate for average annual cost of operation and maintenance for a 50-year project life is $1,853,000 for 16 units. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 693, 79th Cong., 2d sess., which contains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. None required. Local interests contributed estimated value of work and materials of $15,000 (July 1959) for bank protection at Brewster. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Engineer- ing and design were continued throughout the year, with design completed for the following major items: Bank protection at the town of Brewster, and miscellaneous completion items. Condition survey of stilling basin erosion was continued. Engineering studies were in progress for centralized control of main generat- ing units, modifications to powerhouse heating, pilot repair program for erosion of stilling basin, and new maintenance building. Minor procurement contracts were completed during the fiscal year as required. Construction contracts were completed for Foster Creek rehabilitation, relocation of Pearl Hill access road and access road bridge to powerhouse, bank protection at the town of Brewster, and miscellaneous minor completion items. Work continued on minor contracts in progress. Maintenance: The project was operated throughout the fiscal year, and routine maintenance work was performed. Repair of cavitation of five hydraulic turbine runners and rebuilding of two Pennsylvania transformers were accomplished by contract. Costs for the fiscal year were $726,894 for new work and $1,059,583 for maintenance, a total of $1,786,477. 1824 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Condition at end of fiscal year.

QUILLAYUTE RIVER, WASH. Location. This river is formed by the junction of the Soleduck and Bogachiel Rivers, and flows westerly 5 miles to the Pacific Ocean at La Push, Wash., about 30 miles south of Cape Flattery. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6102.) Existing project. This provides for (1) a jetty 15 feet high above mean lower low water on the easterly side of the river mouth, and a dike on the westerly side, with a view of stabilizing the entrance; (2) a channel 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide ex- tending 2,000 feet upstream from deep water; and (3) a basin 10 feet deep, 300 to 425 feet wide, and 2,400 feet long upstream of the channel. The length of the section included in the project is 4,400 feet. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at La Push is 8.3 feet. The extreme range is about 15 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1825 The actual cost of new work was $541,850, including $521,850 Federal funds and local contribution of $20,000. Other non- Federal costs were $46,000. The groins authorized with the dike are considered to be inactive. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1954, and was estimated to be $12,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $53,541.

Total actual costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, amount to $66,116 for new work and $23,581 for main- tenance, a total of $89,697. In 1944, about $10,000 of Navy funds were expended on dredg- ing of the river channel. 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 five terminals at La Push, near the mouth of the Quillayute River; of these, three privately owned, and one owned by the Port of Port Angeles within the project basin, are open to public use to accommodate small com- mercial and sports fishing vessels; and the fifth, owned by the United States, is part of the Coast Guard station. These fa- cilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work, contract: Reconstructing, raising, and extending the landward end of the jetty a distance of 100 feet shoreward was completed in February 1960. A total of 7,938 tons of rock was placed. Maintenance, contract: A total of 149,218 cubic yards of material was dredged from the channel and boat basin in August and September 1959. Repair of jetty by placing 3,488 tons of rock was completed in February 1960. Maintenance, hired labor: Plans and specifications were pre- pared and bids were received on June 27, 1960, for construction of a training dike. Costs during the fiscal year were $35,358 for new work and $189,608 for maintenance, a total of $224,966. 1826 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in February 1960. The low jetty and dike were completed in 1931, omitting the groins, which do not appear necessary or desirable, and have been classified as "inactive." Channel and mooring basin dredging was completed in July 1957. The rock jetty, 1,370 feet long with 12-foot crest at elevation 15 feet above mean lower low water, was completed in October 1957. A field inspection and condition survey of the jetty made in February and March 1959 disclosed the need for reconstructing, raising, and extending the landward end of the jetty to minimize main- tenance dredging resulting from feeding of beach material over the top of the jetty and through a break in the jetty about 120 feet long, and to insure against a breach beyond the landward end of the jetty. Work was completed by contract during the period November 9, 1959 to February 11, 1960. In April 1960, controlling dimensions in the channel from deep water to the boat basin were 1.7 feet by 70 feet, 2 feet by 500 feet by ;1,070 feet in the basin, and 0.7 foot by 75 feet in the channel from the basin to the head of the project. Some displace- ment of rock by storm waves has occurred in both the jetty and dike. The costs to June 30, 1960, have been $521,850 from Federal funds and $20,000 from contributed funds, a total of $541,850 for new work; and $429,436 for maintenance, a total of $971,286.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1833 near Cosmopolis; for a channel 14 feet deep at mean lower low water and 100 feet wide in South Bay to Bay City; for two break- waters at, and maintenance of an entrance channel to, Westhaven Cove; and for protection of Point Chehalis for an exposed length of about 7,500 feet. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 9 feet at Point Chehalis, 9.9 feet at Aber- deen, 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 Monte- sano (river flood of 1935). The estimate of cost for new work (July 1960) is $5,358,000, including $5,316,000 Corps of Engineers funds, $6,000 U.S. Coast Guard funds, and $36,000 contributed by local interests. Other non-Federal costs are estimated at $1,131,000. The Cosmopolis to Montesano portion of the project (dredging from 12- to 16-foot depth) is classified as inactive, and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1955, and the Federal cost was estimated to be $244,000, with $244,000 to be contributed by local interests. This total cost estimate also 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. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $394,674. Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, adopting the 16-foot channel, provides that local interests con- tribute one-half the first cost, estimated at $280,000 (1955), 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 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 of 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 chan- nels, shall furnish free of cost to the United States suitable areas for the disposal of dredged material as and when needed, and shall assist in the work of maintenance by loaning to the United States, when not required on the work of the Commission, its 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 main- tain the channel above the Union Pacific Railroad bridge at Aberdeen. 1 These conditions have been met as required to cover current needs. 1 Modified by 1954 River and Harbor Act. 1834 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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. Local cooperation requirements of the Act of June 30, 1948, authorizing the Bay City Channel and improvements at Westhaven and Point Chehalis, have been fully complied with. Total actual costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the 1948 Act amount to $599,000. Local cooperation requirements of the Act of September 3, 1954, authorizing the 30-foot channel to Cosmopolis and the additional breakwater at Westhaven Cove, have been fully complied with. The Act continues the requirement that the Port of Grays Harbor Commission shall lend to the United States its pipeline dredge, when not required on necessary work for the port, for mainte- nance dredging, without charge other than reimbursement for the operation and maintenance costs, on a basis approved by the Chief of Engineers. Total actual costs for all requirements of local cooperation under the terms of the 1954 Act amount to $532,000, including $462,000 for Westhaven Cove breakwater, and $70,000 for the 30-foot channel. Terminal facilities. There are 33 wharves and piers on Grays Harbor and adjacent inland waters, including 1 general cargo terminal, 13 sawmill wharves, 2 pulp- and paper-mill wharves, 7 fish wharves, 8 miscellaneous industrial wharves, and 2 are not in use. One general cargo wharf and two fish wharves are pub- licly 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 engineering studies of Point Chehalis, and preparation of plans and specifica- tions for remedial works at Breakwater C. New work, contract: Operating experience since completion of Breakwater C, and installation of moorage facilities by the Port of Grays Harbor, demonstrated that modification of the structure was required to reduce wave action within the basin to tolerable limits, under certain storm conditions. Installation of horizontal planking on Breakwater C, together with rock revetment of the dredged fill dike placed by the Port of Grays Harbor at the end of Breakwater C, was accomplished in October and November 1959. Maintenance, hired labor: The U.S. hopper dredge Pacific, dur- ing the period October 1, 1959, to April 26, 1960, removed 326,703 cubic yards from Sand Island Shoal, 426,983 cubic yards from the Cross-Over Channel, and 237,424 cubic yards from the North Channel, a total of 991,110 cubic yards of material, bin measurement. The pipeline dredge Robert Gray, leased from the Port of Grays Harbor Commission, removed 703,391 cubic yards of material from North Channel. Maintenance, contract: Bids for repair of Point Chehalis revet- ments, opened June 21, 1960, exceeded the maximum acceptable bid, and were under advisement of the end of the year. Costs during the fiscal year were $8,626 for Point Chehalis and RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1835 $70,074 for Breakwater C, a total of $78,700 for new work, and $527,827 for maintenance, a total of $606,527. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 90 per- cent complete, excluding the inactive portion. 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 through 1940. In June 1960, the inner 100 feet of the reconstructed jetty had been partially removed, the next 4,800 feet were at or near grade, the next 500 feet showed sub- sidence to a maximum depth of 16 feet below grade, and the outer 7,256 feet varied from elevations 4 feet above to elevations below mean lower low water. 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 com- pleted in January 1916. During 1941 and 1942, an 8,288-foot section was reconstructed westward from the highwater 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 remain- der 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 1957, showed that sea action had leveled the outer 900 efet; had breached the sand spit at the shore end, exposing old jetty rock to the east; and a 4,000-foot section about 1,500 feet from the outer end showed a maximum settlement of 12 feet. In 1950, the Westhaven Cove breakwater authorized by the 1948 River and Harbor Act was completed in two sections, A and B, and four timber-pile groins to protect Point Chehalis were constructed. In 1951, three rock groins were added to the Point Chehalis works. In 1952, the original timber- pile groins were reinforced, and a revetment connecting all seven groins was constructed with stone removed from the east end of the reconstructed portion of the south jetty; and local interests completed initial dredging of the entrance channel to Westhaven Cove. In 1953 and 1954, section A of the breakwater and one of the groins were reinforced. Construction of 1,100 linear feet of west shore revetment at Westhaven Cove, extending westward and southward along the shore of Point Chehalis from groin 5, has been completed. Breakwater C, consisting of a timber pile, rock-reinforced breakwater 1,350 feet long, was completed in January 1958, except for installation of horizontal planking, and rock revetment of the dredged fill dike placed by the Port of Grays Harbor at the end of Breakwater C, which was completed in November 1959. A field reconnaissance made in April 1960 indicated that ex- tension of the West Shore revetment at Point Chehalis was not required during the fiscal year. The revetment between groins 5 and 6 was damaged by winter storms. Gradual deterioration of the shore end of groin 5 has occurred in recent years, and the rock fill at the north end of breakwater 1836 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 A planking has subsided. The recently constructed breakwater C is in good condition. 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. Deepening of the 26-foot and 18-foot channels to 30 feet, between the port terminal and Cosmopolis, with a turning basin at Cosmopolis of the same depth, was completed in July 1956. The 6-foot channel between Cosmopolis and Montesano, completed in 1910, was deep- ened to 12 feet in 1931. The Bay City Channel was completed in July 1950. The controlling depths, when last ascertained, were as follows: Depth Width Date ascertained (Ft) (Ft) Bar channel and entrance............... ................... 34.0 600 August 1959.

Willapa Harbor consists of the lower reaches of Willapa River and Willapa Bay, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean located about 30 miles north of the mouth of Columbia River in the State of Washington. Willapa River rises about 30 miles east of the harbor, flows in a general westerly direction, and empties into the bay. Naselle River rises in the Willapa Hills southeast of Willapa Bay, flows south and then northwest, and enters the bay near its southerly end, draining an area of 153 square miles. (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 Naselle 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 ap- propriated 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 Naselle Rivers, by snagging or otherwise. The act of March 2, 1907, contemplated a channel 150 feet wide and 12 feet deep be- tween South Bend and Raymond. The act of June 25, 1910, pro- vided 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 (1) a channel over the bar at the mouth of Willapa Bay, 26 feet deep at mean lower low water and at least 500 feet wide; (2) a channel 24 feet deep and 200 feet wide from deep water in Willapa Bay to the foot of Ferry Street at South Bend ,thence 300 feet wide to the westerly end of the narrows, thence 250 feet wide to the forks of the river at Raymond, including a cutoff channel 3,100 feet long at the narrows and a closing dike at Mailboat Slough; (3) a channel 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide up the South Fork to the deep basin above Cram lumber mill, and up the North Fork to 12th Street, with a turning basin 250 feet wide, 350 feet long, and 24 feet deep at the latter point; (4) a channel 10 feet deep at mean 1838 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 lower low water and 40 feet wide from deep water in Palix River to Bay Center dock, with a widening at the shoreward end to provide a small mooring basin; (5) a mooring basin 15 feet deep, 350 feet wide, and 600 feet long adjacent to the port wharf at Tokeland; (6) an entrance channel at Nahcotta 10 feet deep and 300 feet wide,, and a mooring basin 10 feet deep, 500 feet wide, and 1,100 feet long, protected by a rubblemound breakwater about 1,600 feet long; and (7) removal of snags, piles, and other obstructions in the navigable channel of the Naselle River be- tween Naselle and the mouth. The project includes about 26 miles of channel from the entrance through the Willapa River forks, 2,800 feet of the Palix River-Bay Center Channel, and 9 miles of the Naselle River upstream of the United States High- way 101 bridge. 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; 9.2 feet at Bay Center, and 10.8 feet near Naselle. The extreme range is 18 feet at Toke Point; 19.3 feet at Raymond; 16 feet at Bay Center; and 18 feet near Naselle. The actual cost of new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, was $1,462,960, including $1,158,871 Corps of Engineers funds, $192,314 emergency relief funds, $40,000 U.S. Coast Guard funds, and $71,775 contributed by local inter- ests. Other non-Federal costs were $111,000. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $177,662.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total actual costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to $182,775. Terminal facilities. There are 29 wharves on Willapa River and Harbor, including 5 in Willapa Bay, 7 in Bay Center, 15 in RIVERS AND HARBORS - SEATTLE, WASH., DISTRICT 1839 Raymond and South Bend, and two in Tokeland. Three 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, and two are located at sawmills. 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. Maintenance, hired labor: The U.S. hopper dredge Pacific removed 106,823 cubic yards of material, bin measurement, from the inner channel dur- ing September 1959, and April and May 1960; and 138,367 cubic yards of material, bin measurement, from the bar channel during September 1959, and April and May 1960. One large snag was removed from the Naselle River. Costs during the fiscal year were $138,433, all for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in November 1958. The entrance and Willapa River channels were completed in 1936, except for the widening, which was completed in November 1958. The channel from Palix River to Bay Center was completed in 1949. Snagging of Naselle River was completed in 1957; the channel was in good condition follow- ing maintenance snagging in November 1959. Rock breakwater at Nahcotta boat basin was completed in 1958 to a length of 1,500 feet and a crest width of 6 feet at elevation 15 feet above mean lower low water; its condition was good in May 1960. Boat- basin dredging at Nahcotta and Tokeland was completed in July 1958. The dike at the head of Mailboat Slough is in good condi- tion.

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 formerly was divided by an island and a low waterfall of about 7 feet. About 2 miles downstream from Albeni 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 consists of a low concrete gravity dam at Albeni Falls on Pend Oreille River for power generation, flood control, and related water uses. The dam is a gated, gravity-structure 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 1,155,000 acre-feet. The damsite is 838 and 90 miles upstream from the mouths of Columbia and Pend Oreille Rivers, respective- ly, and is 50 miles northeast of Spokane, Wash, 1844 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The estimate of cost for new work (July 1960) is $31,100,000. The latest (1955) approved estimate for average annual opera- tion and maintenance cost during a 50-year project life is $345,000. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. (See S. Doc. 9, 81st Cong., 1st sess., which con- tains the latest published map.) Local cooperation. None required. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Engineer- ing and design studies were continued during the fiscal year for minor completion items. Acquisition of land rights for alleviation of erosion damage for the reservoir was continued. Construction was continued on minor items required to complete the project, and on recreation facilities. Maintenance: The reservoir was operated through its eighth annual cycle of storage and release during the year. The highest pool level attained in fiscal year 1960 was elevation 2062.52 on September 26, 1959; the lowest was elevation 2055.86 on March 23, 1960. Storage between these elevations is 614,300 acre-feet. There was no flood surcharge during the year. Routine structural, mechanical, and electrical maintenance was performed on the spillway dam, powerhouse, and equipment. Costs during the fiscal year were $208,999 for new work and $287,219 for maintenance, a total of $496,218. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the existing project was started in January 1951 and was substantially com- pleted in June 1957. The project started operations in June 1952, impounding storage which was used to increase minimum flows through downstream powerplants. Three generating units have been in commercial operation since August 1955. Evaluation of reservoir effects on erosion of vulnerable public and private properties is continuing.

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, Marys- ville, and Stillaguamish, Wash.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for works to reduce bank erosion and channel changes on Stillagua- mish 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 weir 275 feet long between steel-sheet pile piers at the head of Cook Slough to limit flow through the slough; and two 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 average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $29,670. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved June 22, 1936 (special report in Office of the Chief of Engineers). House Documents 657, 71st Congress, 3d session contains the latest published map of the locality. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, amount to $5,000 (1937 price level). Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Revet- ment repairs, started under contract in June 1959, were completed in September 1959. Emergency repairs following the November and December floods were made under contract during December 1959. Repair of additional flood damages was contracted for in June 1960. Total costs during the fiscal year, including condition and operation studies, were $70,436, all for maintenance. 1846 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was com- pleted in 1939. Progressive deterioration of revetments neces- sitates annual repair at critical points, and additional damages were caused by the floods of November and December 1959.

TACOMA, PUYALLUP RIVER, WASH. Location. The Puyallup River has its source in the glaciers on the western slopes of Mount Rainier in the State of Washing- ton, flows northwesterly 50 miles, and empties into Commence- ment Bay, an arm of Puget Sound, at Tacoma, Wash. The work covered by this project is on Puyallup River, within the city limits of Tacoma. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6407.) Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for a channel with a capacity of 50,000 second-feet between the East 11th Street Bridge and the lower end of the intercounty improve- ment, a distance of about 2.2 miles, by straightening the channel, building levees, revetting the channel and levees, and making all necessary bridge changes. The 11th Street Bridge at the lower end of the project is 0.75 mile above the mouth of the Puyallup River. The diurnal tidal range at the mouth of the river is 11.8 feet and the extreme range is 20 feet. The improvement was planned in conjunction with Mud Mountain Dam and affords pro- tection against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record.

MUD MOUNTAIN RESERVOIR, WHITE RIVER, WASH. Location. The White River rises on the northeastern slope of Mount Rainier, in the State of Washington, and flows in a general northwesterly direction for 57 miles to its confluence with the Puyallup River. The White River is the principal tributary of the Puyallup River and enters the latter 10 miles above its mouth in Puget Sound at Tacoma, Wash. The works covered by this project are on White River near Mud Mountain, 6 miles southeast of Enumclaw, Wash. (See U.S. Geological Survey topographic sheet "Cedar Lake quadrangle, Washington.") Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a rockfill dam, 700 feet long at crest elevation and rising 425 feet above bedrock. The dam is located 28 miles above the confluence of the White and Puyallup Rivers and 38 miles above the mouth of the Puyallup River. The reservoir has a storage capacity of approximately 106,000 acre-feet. Outlet works aie located in the right abutment and permit controlled dis- charge of 17,700 cubic feet per second through two concrete- lined tunnels, with uncontrolled discharge over a spillway having a maximum capacity of 139,000 cubic feet per second. The im- provement affords flood protection to the White and Puyallup 1850 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 River Valleys and protects the Tacoma industrial district in con- junction with the authorized project at that locality against floods about 50 percent greater than the maximum discharge of record. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936. (See Senate Committee print, "Puyal- lup River, Wash.," 74th Cong., 2d sess.) The actual cost for new work was $13,208,063. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $130,662. Local cooperation. None required. Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. In July 1958, King County contributed $3,928 for changes on access road bridge. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Opera- tion, ordinary maintenance, and minor rehabilitation were carried on by project personnel throughout the year. Work was completed on extension of access tunnel adit, enlargement of debris-holding area, modification of 9-foot tunnel flume for steel stop-log, con- struction of work deck over abandoned fish trap, reconditioning of residences, and installation of new catwalk at valve house; and work was commenced on construction of new debris raft and overhaul of Howell-Bunger valves after no bids for the work were received. Under contract, resurfacing of access road was com- pleted, and work on installation of new reservoir gage was initiated. Condition and operation studies were continued by engineering personnel. A flood in November 1959, followed by a lesser flood in December, brought an unprecedented volume of drift into the reservoir, necessitating the clearing of an additional holding area. The November flood averaged 18,672 cubic feet per second in one 24-hour period, with an estimated peak of 24,000 cubic feet per second. Outflow was reduced to 12,820 cubic feet per second as the pool rose to elevation 1080. Discharges were regulated several times for debris handling, repairs to a down- stream diversion dam, and search for a Rainier State School inmate believed to have drowned. The auxiliary powerplant was operated on 5 separate days because of damages and adjustments to feeder line and accessories.

For further details see page 1991 of Annual Report for 1915. Open-river improvement of Snake River from Riparia, Wash. (river mile 67) to Pittsburgh Landing (river mile 218) was authorized by act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 126, 56th Cong., 2d sess.), with no specified channel dimensions above Lewiston. For further details, see page 2246 of Annual Report for 1903 and page 1986 of Annual Report for 1906. This authorization was extended to include improvement from the mouth to Riparia by act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 411, 55th Cong., 2d sess.), and was further extended to include the reach from Pittsburgh Landing (river mile 218) to Johnson Bar Landing (river mile 231) by act of August 30, 1935. (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 25, 75th Cong., 1st sess.) Under these authorizations the total cost and expenditure for improvement below Lewiston, Idaho was $418,219.88, of which $246,739.54 was for new work and $171,480.34 was for maintenance. In addition, the State of Wash- ington contributed $85,000 in 1907 for new work below Riparia, Wash.

McNARY LOCK AND DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, OREG. Location. The site of this project is on the Columbia River, 292 miles above the mouth, near Umatilla, Oreg., and 3 miles above the mouth of the Umatilla River. RIVERS AND HARBORS - WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 1865 Existing project. This project provides for a dam, power- plant, and navigation lock, for power, navigation and incidental irrigation. The dam which raises the normal water surface approximately 85 feet to elevation 340 mean sea level is ap- proximately 7,300 feet long and consists of an earthfill and rock- fill dam at the Oregon (south) abutment, powerhouse, spillway dam, navigation lock and earthfill and rockfill dam at the Wash- ington (north) abutment. The powerhouse has an installation of 14 units of 70,000 kilowatts each, totalling 980,000 kilowatts. The spillway dam is 1,310 feet long, and the overflow crest at 291 feet above sea level is surmounted by 22 vertical-lift gates placed between piers which extend to elevation 361 mean sea level where a service roadway permits the operation of two 200-ton gantry cranes for regulating the gates. The navigation lock is a single-lift type, capable of operating at all flows less than 1,300,000 cubic feet per second. Facilities for the upstream migra- tion of fish consist of two fish ladders, a lock and an elevator. All structures are founded on a massive basalt flow that reaches a maximum thickness of 130 feet and directly overlies a sedimentary interbed. The pool created by the dam provides a navigable channel with a depth of 12 feet or over between the dam and the confluence of the Yakima River, a distance of approximately 48 miles. A controlling depth of 9 feet will be provided on Snake River from its mouth to a point approximately 10.2 miles above the mouth.

The estimated cost of the dam, navigation lock, 14-power unit generating installation, fishways, and attendant buildings and grounds, revised in 1960, is $294 million. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $1,499,210. The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945. (See H. Doc. 704, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: A con- tract was awarded for landscaping and grounds development in the vicinity of the powerhouse and includes the following: In- stallation of an automatic sprinkler system, a public rest room, seeding and planting, picnicking facilities, roads, parking area, and overlook. Engineering and design have been completed for fiscal year 1961 construction of additional pumping facilities at Kennewick Levee 15E, and for remote control of spillway gates, and for sandblasting facilities. Completion of installation of remote control of main generator units is being accomplished. Recreation facilities constructed during the fiscal year at McNary Reservoir include a road, parking areas, a boat-launch- ing ramp, water supply, and beach grading. A total of 843,200 persons visited the project during calendar year 1959. During the fiscal year, a total of 5,386,707 megawatt-hours of electrical energy were delivered to the Bonneville Power Admin- istration, the marketing agency. A total of 1,069,335 tons, consisting mainly of wheat and petrol- eum products passed through the locks. Total costs during the fiscal year were $674,504 for new work and $1,652,116 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of existing proj- ect was begun on May 5, 1947. Initial construction was 99 per- cent complete at the end of fiscal year 1959; however, the addition of alterations to railroad bridges on the Columbia and Snake Rivers to reduce navigation hazards has decreased the percentage complete to 97. The navigation lock, dam, fish facilities, power- house structure, levees, pumping plants (except for additional pumping facilities at Kennewick levee 15E), and relocations are complete. Minimum essential recreational facilities are ap- proximately 40 percent complete. The project was placed on a permanent-operation basis on December 1, 1953. The pool was raised to normal operating eleva- tion 340 on December 6, 1953. All 14 power units were in com- mercial operation at the end of the fiscal year. Total costs have been $285,855,143 for new work and $8,928,315 for maintenance.

JOHN DAY LOCK AND DAM, COLUMBIA RIVER, WASH. AND OREG. Location. The site of this project is on Columbia River, about 3 miles downstream from the mouth of John Day River and about 215 miles above the mouth of Columbia River. Existing project. The project was originally authorized by the Flood Control Act approved May 17, 1950, in accordance with the plan presented in House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session, to provide for a dam, powerplant, navigation lock and appurtenant facilities, with a slackwater pool about 75 miles long extending to McNary Lock and Dam, and the relocations of rail- roads, highways, utilities, and communities affected by the pro- posed reservoir. Under this plan the project would provide 2 million acre-feet of surcharge storage space between normal pool elevation 255 and elevation 292 for control of floods on Columbia River. The powerhouse would provide 13 generating units of 85,000 kilowatts each for a total initial installed capacity of 1,105,000 kilowatts. Subsequent to project authorization noted above, a review of the flood-control features of John Day Dam was authorized by resolution of the Senate Committee on Public Works dated April 22, 1953. This review, dated March 25, 1955 and revised De- cember 14, 1955, determined that the originally proposed pool fluctuation between elevations 255 and 292 would unduly handi- cap present and future developments bordering John Day pool. It recommended adoption of normal pool at about elevation 262 with about 500,000 acre-feet of flood-storage space to be obtained between proposed drawdown level at elevation 252 and maximum controlled pool at elevation 265. Other features of the project would remain essentially unchanged. The Review Report was approved by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors on January 19, 1956, and submitted to the Congress August 9, 1956, where it was ordered to be printed as Senate Document 10, 85th Congress, 1st session. The revised project proposed in the Review Report is economi- cally feasible to a slightly greater degree than the project as 1868 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 originally authorized. In addition, it has the firm support of local interests, whereas the original proposal is strongly opposed. Also, planning funds appropriated in fiscal years 1956 and 1957 were based on continuation of studies using pools and storage recommended in Review Report. In view of this situation and contingent upon indicated approval of the Public Works Com- mittees of Congress, the Review Report plan is considered to represent the presently authorized project. Funds available for advance engineering for fiscal year 1956 were used in further development of the Review Report plan, and a Site Selection Report was prepared under date of June 15, 1956. Funds available for advance engineering for fiscal year 1957 were used for general design memorandum studies. In accordance therewith, a normal pool level at elevation 265 now appears to be most economical with flood-control storage space in the amount of 500,000 acre-feet available between elevations 257 and 268. The project would include a single-lift navigation lock 86 feet wide by 675 feet long, in clear dimensions, with a normal lift of 105 feet; spillway, with twenty 50 by 58-foot gates, would be designed to pass a flood of 2,250,000 cubic feet per second at maxi- mum pool elevation 276 above mean sea level; and fish ladders and other facilities as necessary would be provided for passage of migratory fish. Conclusions from completed power studies indicate an initial installation of not less than 8 units and an ultimate installation of 20 units. The nameplate rating of each unit has been increased from 108,700 kilowatts to 135,000 kilowatts. In accordance with inclusion of the completed power studies, the initial power in- stallation will consist of at least 8 units at 135,000 kilowatts each--a total of 1,080,000 kilowatts. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1960 is $400 mil- lion. Operations and results during fiscal year. Various contracts were initiated or continued, their present status being as follows: Contracts for the first-step cofferdam, lock, and spillway pre- liminary excavation were completed. A contract for the construc- tion of the navigation lock, spillway, and north embankment was awarded in December 1959, and is now approximately 20 percent complete. Contracts for relocation of facilities in the reservoir have been awarded, their present status being as follows: Rearrangement of main telephone toll line, 96 percent complete; relocation of power facilities, 55 percent complete; reconstruction of an elemen- tary school, 3 percent complete. Agreements have been negotiated with the Union Pacific Railroad and Oregon State Highway De- partment for the construction of two detours, but no work has been initiated. A contract for a shoofly and detour was awarded late in June 1960, and work has not yet been initiated. Preparation of plans and specifications for the relocation of railroads, highways, and communities is progressing. Design studies on the powerhouse and other remaining features of the dam are progressing.

COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO KENNEWICK, WASH. Location. This project includes improvement of 128 miles of the Columbia River between the head of Celilo Falls and Kenne- wick, Wash. (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 and 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. The actual cost for new work exclusive of amounts expended on the previous project was $1,356,584. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $9,154. The incompleted channel rectification work at Owyhee Rapids, Squally Hook and at Indian Rapids, is classified as inactive and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The cost of this portion revised in 1954 is estimated to be $419,000. Construction of The Dalles Dam and raising of the reservoir has provided a slackwater pool extending upriver to the site of John Day Dam and has provided slackwater over the lower 25 miles of the original project. Creation of the pool behind McNary Dam (river mile 292) has provided slackwater over the upper 36 miles of the original project. The remaining reach of the river included in this project is comprised of approximately 67 1870 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

The River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, provides that for the Arlington Channel, local interests give assurances that they will construct a suitable freight termi- nal, open to all on equal terms. These assurances were approved December 29, 1947, but a suitable freight terminal has not been constructed. Terminal facilities. There is one public dock and terminal on this stretch of river located at Pasco, Wash. (river mile 328.3), and owned by the port of Pasco. Located adjacent to the wharf are the following: (a) A bulk grain elevator of 500,000-bushel capacity, and served by rail, water, and truck transportation. Within the structure is a warehouse for handling general cargo. (b) Storage facilities for a total of 11,000,000 gallons of petroleum products, 10,000,000 of which are served by rail, water, truck, and pipeline transportation, the remaining 1,000,000 gallons being served by water and truck only. Privately owned storage facilities for handling waterborne commerce with capacities and locations are as follows: A bulk grain elevator of 2,000,000-bushel capacity, with rail, truck, and water connections is located at Kennewick, Wash. ( river mile 328.2); a 300,000-bushel capacity grain elevator at Arlington, Oreg. (river mile 241.9) ; and a 335,000-bushel elevator at Uma- tilla, Oreg. (river mile 289.3). Other facilities for handling bulk grain from truck to river craft, but without rail connections are as follows: A bulk grain elevator of 654,000 bushel capacity at Port Kelley, Wash. (river mile 311.9) ; a 540,000-bushel elevator at Patterson, Wash. (river mile 278.6); and directly across the Columbia River from Patterson, Wash., a 670,000-bushel elevator. At the mouth of the Walla Walla River (river mile 313.9), the Port of Walla Walla has constructed a 1,000,000-bushel grain storage and water shipping facility. At Umatilla, Oreg. (between miles 289.4 and 290.2 above the mouth), there are storage facilities for handling approximately 9,200,000 gallons of petroleum prod- ucts and 448,500 gallons of aqua ammonia, with truck, rail, and water connections. There is a railroad located on each bank of RIVERS AND HARBORS - WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 1871 the river, but there is no physical connection between the rail- road and the river except as noted. At Irrigon, Oreg. (river mile 278.7), 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., there is a privately owned dock for the shipment of general cargo by barge. Located on the Snake River, main tributary of the Columbia River (between mouth and mile 2.7), there are privately owned storage facilities for handling the following: Approximately 46,818,000 gallons of petroleum products, with truck, rail, water and pipeline connections; 11,411,155 pounds of anhydrous am- monia; 893,646 gallons of aqua ammonia; 25,112 gallons of sul- phuric acid; 32,606 barrels of asphalt emulsions with truck, rail and water connections; and storage facilities for 11,199 barrels of bulk cement. A grain handling facility with a storage capacity of 2,800,000 bushels of grain is newly constructed at river mile 1.9 on the Snake River. These facilities, with planned extensions, are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work in this reach of the river is being continued and reported in connection with John Day Lock and Dam project. Soundings were taken of dredging at Four O'Clock Rapids, Mil- ler's Drift, Canoe Encampment, Owyhee Rapids, and in the entrance to McNary lock. Soundings were made before and after dredging. The work was performed at a cost of $5,047. Condition at end of fiscal year. The authorized 7-foot channel 150 feet wide, has been completed to McNary Lock and Dam. The controlling depth between the head of The Dalles pool and McNary Dam is 7 feet, based on a survey in August, 1959. For that portion of the project within McNary pool and The Dalles pool the depths are in excess of 7 feet with minimum depth of 15 feet over upper lock sills. The Arlington approach channel was completed in 1948. Total costs have been $2,228,289 of which $1,356,584 (includ- ing $400,000 emergency relief administration funds) were for new work and $871,705 for maintenance.

Reported in detail in an individual report. 8Construction of emergency work at this location has obviated the need for improvements. Note. This list does not include improvements in Portland and Seattle Districts. A supplemental letter report on Boise Valley, Idaho, was sub- mitted to higher authority on December 1, 1959, to be incorporated as part of the justification report previously submitted and re- turned to the District Engineer in 1959 for reevaluation. Plans and specifications were completed for the Malheur River, Oreg. (Vale Unit) project. A construction contract was awarded and work started in May 1960. The general design memorandum was completed for Weiser River, Idaho. Due to inability of local interests to fulfill sponsorship agree- ments, progress has been deferred on the preparation of plans and specifications for Umatilla River, Oreg. Preparation of plans and specifications were discontinued on Little Wood River, Idaho, Vicinity of Carey, because of lack of local cooperation. A contract was awarded and construction of Kendrick, Potlatch River, Idaho, was completed. Total costs for the fiscal year were $133,373. Condition at end of fiscal year. Justification reports have pro- gressed to the following extent of completion: Heise-Roberts Ex- tension, Idaho-95 percent; John Day River, Oreg.--30 percent. Local interest agreement to sponsorship of the Blackfoot River, Idaho, project has been obtained prior to initiating preparation of plans and specifications. A justification report on Camas Creek, Idaho, has been com- pleted, and findings are negative. The project has been placed in an inactive status as of January 26, 1960. 1874 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 A justification report and supplemental letter report for Boise Valley project is being reviewed by higher authority. Construction of Malheur River, Oreg. (Vale Unit) project is 10 percent complete. A general design memorandum for Weiser River has been com- pleted and recommends construction of flood protective works. Umatilla River, Oreg., (Echo) project has been reclassified to inactive status until local interests agree to sponsorship require- ments. A justification report has been completed and recommends con- struction of flood protective works at Little Wood River, Idaho, Vicinity of Carey.

The project, on the basis of survey studies performed, would consist of a rockfill dam 570 feet in effective height and 2,500 feet in length at the crest. The dam would create a reservoir having a gross storage capacity of 2,460,000 acre-feet of which 1,433,000 acre-feet would be effective for both local and regional flood control, and for at-site and downstream power generation. In addition, the reservoir pool, extending 49 miles into a rugged and relatively inaccessable timberland, would provide important transportation savings in connection with movements of marketable logs and also afford substantial recrea- tional benefits. No significant runs of salmon occur in Clearwater River; how- ever, considerable migrations of steelhead trout are recorded at the Washington Water Power Co. Dam at Lewiston, Idaho, near the mouth of Clearwater River. Accordingly, it is proposed that fish passage facilities will be provided at Bruces Eddy Dam to accommodate present fish movements and improve existing runs. The existing project has not been authorized for construction, however detailed planning was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved July 3, 1958 in accordance with general plans presented in Senate Document 51, 84th Congress, 1st session. Local cooperation. No conditions of local cooperation have been imposed by law nor are capital expenses therefor proposed in the project document. The project ,document does, however, rec- ommend that operation and maintenance of log passing facilities at the dam be the responsibility of users of these facilities. Operation and results during the fiscal year. Preparation of the general design memorandum was continued. This has re- quired foundation drilling at the damsite, reservoir surveys, materials testing, and design studies to determine the type and height of dam most economically suitable to the Bruces Eddy site. Office studies relating to hydrology, hydrolectric power genera- tion, navigation benefits, and construction problems were also continued. Total costs during the fiscal year were $662,978, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. The general design memoran- dum is approximately 88 percent complete. Total costs have been $1,233,934, all for new work.

SCHEDULING OF FLOOD-CONTROL OPERATIONS Coordination of functional operation activities for Boise River Reservoirs was improved by conference of all interested parties or their representatives. Studies were initiated and are continuing on the development of operation plan and forecast procedure for the Little Wood River Reservoir. A Reservoir Regulation Manual for Federal Power Commission Project 1971 (Idaho Power Co.) was published in December 1959, and is being revised in accordance with suggestions and comments from North Pacific Division and Idaho Power Co. The operations for flood control of Palisades, Arrowrock, Anderson Ranch, and Brownlee Reservoirs continued under existing criteria in coordination with the Bureau of Reclamation and other interests. Total costs during the fiscal year were $7,931. 27. EXAMINATIONS AND SURVEYS Total cost of work during the fiscal year for flood-control studies was $133,470. Work was completed on survey reports for Salmon River, Idaho; and Mission and Lapwai Creeks, Idaho. Work was continued on survey reports on Upper Snake River, Oreg., Idaho, and Wyoming; Mill Creek, Wash.; Touchet River and Tributaries, Wash.; and Walla Walla River, Wash. A survey report for Esquatzel Coulee, Wash., was returned by the North Pacific Division for limited revisions which are in process. Resubmission of the report at an early date is anticipated. Work was initiated on a survey report for Willow Creek at Heppner, Oreg. Coordination activities were accomplished with the Bureau of Reclamation and Soil Conservation Service. The anticipated allocation of $67,930 for fiscal year 1961 will be applied as follows: Continuation of the Upper Snake River survey, $14,920; Mill Creek, Wash., survey, $200; Willow Creek at Heppner, Oreg., survey $10,050; Touchet River and Tributa- GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS - WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 1889 ries, Wash., survey, $3,890; Grande Ronde River, Oreg., surveys, $25,710; Walla Walla River, Wash., survey, $12,670; Coordinated studies for the Bureau of Reclamation and Soil Conservation Service, $490. 28.

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 rivers; and protecting all existing waterfront improvements on the easterly beach by means of a rockmound 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 1.15 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. The actual cost for new work was $1,348,240. The average annual maintenance cost for the past 5 years was $40,346, ex- clusive of the seawall, which is to be maintained by local interests and excluding $2,500 contributed by the city of Nome. Exten- sion of the jetties to authorized lengths is considered to be in- 1891 1892 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY,1960 active and is excluded from the foregoing cost estimate.

This provides for construction of a stone breakwater, with concrete cap, 940 feet in length to protect the harbor in the vicinity of Ketchikan Creek and for dredging the protected area, 11.35 acres, to a depth of 10 feet at mean lower low water; and dredging an additional small-boat basin at Bar Point, 780,000 square feet in area, to depths of 10 and 15 feet below mean lower low water, and construction of three rock breakwaters topped by concrete gravity walls, 700, 1,100 and 450 feet in length. During design stage the concrete gravity wall was removed and the breakwater raised to provide the required protection. The range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 13.0 feet with an extreme range of 25.6 feet. The actual cost of new work was $1,605,317. The west break- water of the Bar Point Harbor is to be restudied and is excluded from the foregoing. The cost of this portion was last revised in 1960 and was estimated to be $1,602,417.

ARMY, 1960 2 of these, which are privately owned, are open for public use as general-cargo and passenger terminals. Three wharves are used for oil handling and bunkering, and the remainder are used for various industrial purposes. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance per- formed under contract at Thomas Basin consisted of removal of 2,500 cubic yards of material. Total maintenance cost for the fiscal year was $8,667. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the original basin and breakwater at Thomas Basin was completed in 1933. In June 1951, project depths were available over entire project, except a small area near the Fish and Wildlife Service hangar and a small berm between two floats. Construction of the small- boat basin at Bar Point commenced November 1957 and was completed November 1958. Maintenance dredging in Thomas Basin was initiated in June 1960 and was considered 59 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The costs to June 30, 1960 have been $1,602,417 for new work and $43,700 for maintenance, a total of $1,646,117.

Gold Creek rises in the coastal mountains approxi- mately 4 miles east of Juneau and flows through the western sec- tion of the city of Juneau and empties into Gastineau Channel. Its total length is about 5 miles and it drains an area of about 10.2 square miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8235.) Previous projects. In 1934 and 1935 the Work Projects Ad- ministration constructed a cemented rubble channel at a cost of approximately $84,000. In addition, the city of Juneau has ex- pended about $51,910 for emergency channel repairs since 1946. For emergency work performed prior to the authorization of the existing project see Annual Report for 1953. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for a reinforced-concrete channel lining 1,717 feet in length for that portion of Gold Creek passing through the city of Juneau to- gether with the necessary intake and downstream energy dissi- pating structures. The project will provide protection to the city of Juneau from a project flood of 4,800 cubic feet per second. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act ap- proved September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 54, 82d Cong., 1st sess.). This document contains the latest map of the locality. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of staff gages in the channel was accomplished. Total new work costs for the fiscal year from Federal funds, were $415. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the channel commenced April 1957 and was completed in March 1958. Estab- lishment of staff gages in the structure for engineering research purposes was accomplished in fiscal year 1960.

THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors is a continu- ing body created by Section 3 of the River and Harbor Act approved June 13, 1902. The Board comprises seven senior engineer officers: The chair- man is the Deputy Chief of Engineers for Construction; five members are division engineers (rotative basis) from continental United States divisions; the seventh officer is assigned full time as resident member and directs the staff. Appointments are made by the Chief of Engineers for unspecified periods. The Board meets on call of the chairman. The statutory duties of the Board as set forth in the act of June 13, 1902 and subsequent acts and amendments are: a. To conduct an independent review of Survey reports covering projects for river and harbor, flood control, and multiple-purpose improvements prepared by the Corps of Engineers in response to an act of Congress or a resolution of the Public Works Committees of the Senate or the House of Representatives; and to report its conclusions and recommendations thereon to the Chief of Engi- neers, who forwards the reports with his conclusions and recom- mendations to the Secretary of the Army for transmission to Congress. b. To conduct an independent review of all special reports ordered by Congress and report thereon in the same manner as for survey reports when directed by the Chief of Engineers. c. To consider and approve general plans for major modifica- tion and reconstruction of any lock, canal, canalized river or other work for use and benefit of navigation. Additional statutory duties have been assigned to the Board under the terms of the Merchant Marine Act and various River and Harbor Acts, particularly that of September 22, 1922. Under these acts the Board: a. In cooperation with the U.S. Maritime Administration, col- lects, compiles, and publishes information on the characteristics of U.S. ports: Physical characteristics of the ports are the re- sponsibility of the Corps of Engineers, and administrative charac- teristics are the responsibility of Maritime Administration. b. Provides staff supervision over the collection and compila- tion of statistics revealing the volume and nature of commerce on inland waterways, which include entrance channels for ocean ports of the United States and its Territories. The statistics are published annually in two categories: Waterborne commerce of the United States in 5 parts (6 volumes), which show the nature and amount of commodity, passenger, and vessel movements; and transportation series in 3 volumes, listing the characteristics of registered and unregistered vessels comprising the respective U.S. flag shipping fleets. In addition to its statutory duties, the following duties are the more significant among those assigned by the Chief of Engineers: Review of Corps of Engineers policies and procedures as directed; 1909 1910 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 review of reports of other Federal agencies pertaining to water resources development; conduct of investigations and studies of the economics of ports and waterways; guidance to the division and district offices of the Corps of Engineers in the field of water- ways economics; and the preparation of engineer intelligence reports and special studies on foreign ports. Also, the resident member acted as alternate for the Chief of Engineers as ex officio member of the National Capital Planning Commission and as alternate for the Secretary of the Army on the Foreign-Trade Zones Board. The resident member was ex officio secretary of the American Section, Permanent International Association of Navi- gation Congresses, a quasi-official organization, and the Board staff provided active support in planning for the quadrennial International Congress. (See separate section on PIANC). On June 30, 1960 the Board was composed of the following Members: Major General Walter K. Wilson, Jr., Deputy Chief of Engineers for Construction, chairman; Major General Keith R. Barney, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, Mis- souri River; Brigadier General Robert G. MacDonnell, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, South Pacific; Brigadier General William Whipple, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, Southwestern; Brigadier General William W. Lapsley, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, Ohio River; Brigadier General Allen F. Clark, Jr., division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, North Pacific; and Colonel Carl H. Bronn, resident member. In addition to the foregoing, the following officers were also assigned for various periods during the year to membership on the Board: Major General Frank M. Albrecht, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, South Atlantic, and Brigadier General Alden K. Sibley, division engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, New England. A summary of the investigations authorized by Congress from establishment of the Board in 1902 to the close of fiscal year 1960, authorizations completed, and the number of remaining authorizations for which reports are to be submitted is given in the following table: Number of Number of Total Number Authority investiga- investiga- number completed Number for tions ordered tions ordered completed during year remaining investigations prior to during fiscal prior to ending to be July 1, 1959 year 1960 July 1, 1959 June 30, 1960 completed River and Harbor and Flood Control Acts. ................ 5, 043 .............. 4, 692 16 335 Miscellaneous projects ......... 1 ........ . 1 Congressional resolutions....... 3, 410 101 2, 403 49 1,059 Total ................ ... 8, 454 101 7,095 65 1,395 During the year the Board held six meetings of 1 to 2 days' duration and held one public hearing in Washington and one out- side Washington. The Board considered 70 reports, acting favor- ably on 45, unfavorably on 22 and deferring action on 3. The Board recommended construction of projects totaling $620,322,100 BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS 1911 of which $546,787,700 was the estimated cost to the United States, and $73,534,400 the cost to local interests, which included work to be done by local interests and cash contributions. Of the 22 unfavorable reports acted on by the Board, 12 in- volved construction costs estimated at $21,421,400, consisting of $14,203,400 Federal and $7,218,000 non-Federal. No costs esti- mates were made on the remaining 10 Survey reports as they covered investigations which did not merit the preparation of such estimates. In addition to its review of Surveys, the Board submitted re- ports or comments on reports to the Chief of Engineers as fol- lows: Six reports by another Federal agency on water resource development; Nineteen special reports on civil works and assistance to district engineers. Twelve engineer intelligence studies covering 14 foreign ports; and Thirty special planning studies on foreign ports. Studies prescribed by various River and Harbor Acts and by Section 8 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 were continued and the results published in three series of reports titled Port Series, Transportation Series, and Waterborne Commerce of the United States. The following reports were published during the year: Port Series No. 19-Volume 2. Ports on the Gulf Coast of the United States: Freeport, Beaumont, Orange, Port Arthur, Browns- ville, and Port Isabel, Tex. No. 20-The Port of New Orleans, La.

Location and description: The Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and flows in a general southerly direction for 2,350 miles through the central portion of the United States to empty into the Gulf of Mexico about 115 miles below New Orleans. It is improved for barge navigation for about 1,837 miles to Minneapo- lis, Minn. The major tributaries are the Missouri, Ohio, St. Francis, White, Arkansas, Yazoo, and Red Rivers which drain 1,245,000 square miles in all or part of 31 States between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and parts of two Canadian provinces. Below Cape Girardeau, Mo., 53 miles above the Ohio River, the river bottom lands widen abruptly into the alluvial valley of about 35,460 square miles which was originally subject to flood overflow. For descriptive purposes, this area has been subdivided into the St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of the river, and the Yazoo and Pontchar- train Basins east of the river. A major part of the alluvial valley has been protected from floods by levees which confine floodflows within a flood plain having an average width of about 5 miles. (See map of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River, scale 1:500,000.) Observations made by the Mississippi River Commission to June 30 show approximate maximum and minimum discharges between the levees as follows: Cairo to White River, 2 million 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 Mississippi River and about 650,000 and 12,000 cubic feet per second in the Atchafalaya River. As the 1927 floodflow was not confined be- tween 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 late winter or early spring, but great floods such as that of 1937 have occurred as early as January in the upper reaches of the lower river. Extreme ranges in stages recorded at representa- tive gages are about 60 feet at Cairo; 55 feet at Memphis; 58 feet at Red River Landing; and 23 feet at New Orleans (Carroll- ton). The river is non-tidal above the mouth of Red River, where amplitude of the tide rarely exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. 1916 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 PREVIOUS PROJECTS The project outlined in a report by the Commission dated Feb- ruary 17, 1880, contemplated improvement of the channel to secure a least depth of 10 feet at extreme low water by con- traction of the low water channel, protection of banks against caving, and control of floodwater by levees. For further details, see page 1944, Annual Report for 1932, and page 1682, Annual Report for 1937. Flood-control-general projects previously authorized, which have been incorporated as features of the project, are listed below.

EXISTING PROJECT The existing project for the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley between the Head of Passes, La. and Cape Girardeau, Mo. provides for the protection thereof from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in the Yazoo and St. Francis Basins), bank stabilization, and channel improve- ments in and along the iver and its tributaries and outlets in- sofar as affected by backwater of the Mississippi River, includ- ing levee work on the main stem between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. The project also provides for channel realinement and improvement including bank stabilization and dikes to reduce flood heights; control the natural tendency of the river to lengthen by meandering; protect the levees from being destroyed by caving banks; and provide a 12- x 300-foot navigation channel between Baton Rouge, La. and Cairo, Ill. The locations of major Mis- sissippi River project improvements for flood control and naviga- tion, including main stem levees and appurtenant drainage struc- tures and spillways, channel realinement and dredging, bank revetment, and dikes are listed in table A. The locations of levee work accomplished under the provisions of section 6 of the Flood Control Act approved May 15, 1928, are shown on table E-4. The project provides for harbor improvements on the main stem at Baton Rouge (Devils Swamp), La., Vicksburg, Miss., Greenville, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. The locations of these im- provements are shown on table A. The locations of project im- provements on tributaries and outlets in designated basins in the alluvial valley below Cape Girardeau are listed in table B.

Section 2 of the Flood Control Act ap- proved May 15, 1928, stated that, in view of the great expenditure, estimated at approximately $292 million, heretofore made by the local interests in the alluvial valley of the Mississippi for protec- tion against the floods of that river; in view of the extent of national concern in the control of these floods in the interest of national prosperity, the flow of interstate commerce, and the movement of the United States mails; and in view of the gigantic scale of the project involving floodwaters of a volume and flowing from a drainage area largely outside the States most affected and far exceeding those of any other river in the United States; no local contribution to the construction cost of the project is re- quired. Requirements of local cooperation stipulated in Section 3 of the act of May 15, 1928 cover: (a) The maintenance of com- pleted flood control works; (b) acceptance of ownership of lands acquired by the United States and turned over to local interests under the provisions of Section 4 of the act; (c) provision without cost to the United States of all rights-of-way for main stem levees; and (d) holding the United States free from damages by floods. Subsequent amendments to the 1928 act have provided for varied modifications and additions to these requirements to meet the special local conditions applicable to off-main stem features of the project. Such requirements have in general been complied with by local interests as construction of the project has ad- vanced. Terminal facilities.

OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Commission activities. The 258th session of the Commission was held on board the U.S. steamer Mississippi en route on the Mississippi River from Cape Girardeau, Mo. to the mouth of Old River, Old River from its mouth to Three Rivers, and the Atchafalaya River from Three Rivers to Morgan City, La., Octo- ber 5-12, 1959. The 259th session was held in the office of the president of the Commission at Vicksburg, Miss., December 18, 1959. This session was held for the purpose of reviewing the Comprehensive Review Report of the Mississippi River and Tribu- taries Project, which was prepared in response to a resolution adopted by the Committee on Public Works of the U.S. Senate on June 12, 1954. The report as drafted was unanimously approved and adopted. The 260th session was held on board the U.S. Steamer Mississippi en route on the Mississippi River from Cairo, Ill., to New Orleans, La., May 16-21, 1960. On the river trips, major features of the project were inspected including bank protection works, levees, general channel conditions; structures such as Old River Control, Vicksburg Harbor project, and Mem- phis Harbor project; 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. During the 258th session, an aerial inspection was made of the Arkansas River from its mouth to Little Rock for the purpose of observing high-water conditions; on-the-ground inspections were made of revetment operations at Eutaw and Palmetto; the completed work at the Old River Control site was also inspected; the East Atchafalaya Basin protection levee from latitude of Krotz Springs to Morgan City was inspected by the Commission. In addition to these trips, members of the Commission inspected major flood control and navigation improvements under the jurisdiction of the Commis- sion. The President, Mississippi River Commission, and his engineer- ing assistants made periodic inspections of flood control, naviga- tion, and related works under the existing project along the Mississippi River and tributaries in the alluvial valley from Cape Girardeau, Mo., to the Gulf of Mexico. Flood fight planning con- ferences were held with local interests by the New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Memphis District Engineers. No major floods occurred on the main stem during the fiscal year, but through the combined efforts of local authorities and Federal personnel close contact with local tributary flood situations was maintained and operations were carried out efficiently. Comprehensive review of project. The Commission's report on the Comprehensive Review of Mississippi River and Tributaries MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1927 project was forwarded to the Chief of Engineers December 18, 1959. This review was prepared in response to a resolution by the Committee on Public Works of the United States Senate, adopted June 12, 1954, which authorized a review of the project for flood control of the Mississippi River in its alluvial valley and for its improvement from the Head of Passes to Cape Gi- radeau, Mo., as one comprehensive whole and in its entirety, and submission of recommendations for any modifications that are advisable with respect to the project or any feature of the project. The report and tributary basin annexes present surveys of the main stem and the off-main stem areas in the alluvial valley. The report covers the adequacy of authorized plans, the costs of com- pleting authorized features of the project, and proposed plans of project modification and extension requested by local interests. The proposed plans of improvement were coordinated with the plans of other Federal and State agencies for the development and conservation of water resources in the alluvial valley. In response to the request of the President, Mississippi River Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture assisted in furnish- ing economic data on agriculture and timber development and farm drainage. The Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States Department of the Interior is submitting a report cover- ing the coordination of proposed improvements with the conserva- tion of fish and wildlife. During the fiscal year, the New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Mem- phis District Engineers submitted "Annexes" covering the review of project features and proposed extensions in the following off- main stem areas: New Orleans. Pontchartrain Basin, La., Area East of East Atchafalaya Basin protection levee, La., Area West of West Atchafalaya Basin protection levee, La., Atchafalaya Basin flood- ways, La., and Red River backwater, La. (including data fur- nished by the Vicksburg district). Vicksburg. Boeuf and Tensas Rivers and Bayou Macon, Ark. and La., Big Sunflower Basin, Miss., Yazoo backwater, Mississippi, Yazoo headwater, Mississippi, Grand Prairie Bayou Meto Basin, Ark., and North Bank Arkansas River levees, Arkansas. Memphis. Lower White River and Cache River, Ark., West Tennessee tributaries, Tenn., West Kentucky tributaries, Ky., St. Francis Basin, Mo. and Ark., St. Johns Bayou, Mo., and Cairo and Mounds-Mound City, Ill. Mississippi River Reservoir Benefit Study. Study to determine the benefits from upstream reservoirs in the relief of flood dam- age and the increase of low streamflow on the lower Mississippi River below the Missouri River is near completion. This study is being carried on with the assistance of the United States Army Engineer Divisions, Missouri River, North Central, Ohio River, and Southwestern. Surveys, gages, and observations. Routine hydrographic sur- veys of the river between Head of Passes and Cairo, construction surveys, and special surveys and inspections were made as re- quired. Gages were maintained and discharge observations made. 1928 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Results thereof are presented in detail in annual pamphlets issued by the Mississippi River Commission. Alluvial valley mapping.

Local interests are required to: (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; (b) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project; and, (c) provide, main- tain, and operate adequate terminal facilities which shall be open 1932 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 to all on equal terms. Assurances have been furnished by the Greater Baton Rouge Port Commission and approved and accepted on behalf of the United States. Rights-of-way have been acquired by the local agency by deeds from the record owners, and placed on record. The deeds contain a clause which purports to limit the authority of the port commission to exercise the right of eminent domain to acquire additional lands of the owner. The local agency now proposes to furnish opinion of the Louisiana Attorney General certifying that the objectionable clause in the deeds has no legal sanction under the laws of the State of Louisi- ana; does not bind the port commission as to future exercise of the right of eminent domain; and does not invalidate the convey- ance. Upon receipt of Attorney General's opinion, the matter will be submitted to the Office, Chief of Engineers for review and final decision. Vicksburg Harbor, Miss. (Vicksburg District).

One tract will be conveyed by the Texas & Pacific Railway Co. in subordina- tion required under master agreement for railroad relocations. The Texas & Pacific Railway Co. has recently indicated its un- willingness to convey this tract until gaps in the guide levees are closed. The three remaining tracts will be condemned be- cause of title difficulties and unwillingness of the owner to sign an option. Tracts already in condemnation are complete. In the Atchafalayan Basin floodway below the latitude of Krotz Springs, acquisition of flowage easements for the project, "Bayou Chene and vicinity" is complete. Acquisition of flowage easements in connection with the project, "Lands below the latitude of Krotz Springs", is on a claim basis. There are an estimated 250 claims (or tracts) involved. Claims have been received covering 142 tracts, 79 of which have been paid; 53 tracts (or claims) cannot be settled because of title difficulties or owners' refusal to settle on the basis of appraisal of damage. One claim has been with- drawn, and nine claims were eliminated as covering lands "sub- ject to frequent overflow." Approximately 57 percent of the total estimated claims have been received and processed and approxi- mately 56 percent of the claims received have been settled ami- cably. Acquisition of all lands for the construction of Bayou Boeuf lock has been completed. Acquisition of one fee tract for Bayou Courtableau control structure is complete. All other lands required for inlet and outlet channels, including relocation of utilities, are being acquired by local levee boards subject to reim- bursement by the United States. All rights-of-way have been acquired by the levee boards and made available for construction. (7) Operation and maintenance of structures. The Bayou Boeuf, Berwick and Bayou Sorrel navigation locks were operated and maintained respectively as parts of the Gulf Intracostal Water- way, Bayou Teche, and alternate Gulf Intracoastal Waterway route between Morgan City and Plaquemine. Other structures were operated and maintained as required. MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1935 c. Morganza floodway (includes Morganza control structure).

Clearing of regrowth of trees and brush in previously cleared areas by machine cutting and hand cutting was performed in the floodway. (2) Land acquisition and flowage easements. Acquisition of comprehensive easements over lands in the Morganza floodway is complete. (3) High-level railroads and highways. The Texas & Pacific Railway Co. has indicated unwillingness to execute subordination for West Atchafalaya floodway covering its branch lines until gaps in levee are closed. This item, therefore, must be held in abeyance. New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway Co. has com- pleted its review of exchange agreement covering its main lines in Morganza and West Atchafalaya floodways. All rights-of-way for relocation have been acquired. Exchange of easements as- sembly will go to Office, Chief of Engineers, in July. Exchange agreement for State Highway 1 (formerly 30) and Texas & Pacific Railway across Morganza control structure have been completed. d. Atchafalaya River navigation.

CONDITION AT END OF FISCAL YEAR Construction of the existing project began in 1928 and has continued throughout the ensuing years. Based on the total esti- mated cost, the entire project is approximately 65 percent com- plete. The results of continuing surveys of the Mississippi River below Cairo are indicated in published folio of maps, entitled "Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the Mississippi River, 1944 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Cairo, Ill. to the Gulf of Mexico, 1959." Contoured quadrangles, general maps of the alluvial valley, and pamphlets tabulating river stages, discharge measurements, etc., have been published and are available for departmental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Road-map-type information fold- ers of the principal portions of the overall project have been pub- lished along with papers on the subjects of flood control and navigation. The present construction status of the project features listed in tables A. and B. follows: Mississippi River levees: There are 1,706 miles of Mississippi River levees below Cape Girardeau (including those on the north bank of the lower Ohio River and the south banks of the lower Arkansas and Red Rivers) with earthwork aggregating about 1,100,000,000 cubic yards as listed in tables E-1 through E-3. There are 1,488 miles of these levees built to project grade and section. Graveled or hard- surfaced roads have been constructed on 332.9 miles of these levees. Below Baton Rouge, in the New Orleans District, about 121.2 miles of levee are protected against river wavewash by timber structures or levee-slope pavement. Shore-erosion-protec- tion works have been constructed along 30.0 miles of levee. In order to insure the adequacy of the main stem levees, including those on the south banks of the Arkansas and Red Rivers, addi- tional levee construction is recommended to provide a standard 3-foot freeboard, adequate levee cross section, construction of berms for levee stabilization and seepage control, levee wavewash protection where necessary, drainage structures, and roadways for proper inspection and maintenance. Bonnet Carre spillway, La.: The spillway structure was completed in February 1931, and the remaining work was completed in December 1936.

Birds Point-New Madrid floodway, Mo.: Plans, designs, and specifications are complete for a levee and closure structure to prevent backwater flooding in the lower end of the floodway. Letting of contract was deferred due to inability of local interests to furnish required local cooperation. Flood-control work under section 6, May 15, 1928 Act: Levees constructed under the provisions of section 6 of the 1928 act, as summarized in table E-4, include 129.4 miles of levee along the banks of the Mississippi River between Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Rock Island, Ill. and 290.9 miles along tributaries within the limits of Mississippi River backwater. Mississippi River--channel improvement: In carrying out the authorized channel improvement program between Baton Rouge and Cairo, 16 cutoffs were developed be- tween 1933 and 1942. These, combined with chute channel de- MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1945 velopment and alinement improvements, decreased the channel length between these cities by about 170 miles. The effect of this channel shortening, in increasing its flood-carrying capacity, is stated on page 1811, Annual Report of Chief of Engineers for 1943. Much progress has been made in advancing the overall channel stabilization program, involving the construction of bank revetment, dikes, and improvement dredging, to prevent the river from regaining its former length due to its natural tendency to meander. There are now in place 435 miles of oper- ative bank revetment on the Mississippi and lower Ohio Rivers as listed in tables D-1 through D-3. A navigation channel 9 feet by 300 feet is maintained by dredging as required during the low- water season. Since 1928, annual maintenance dredging has averaged about 30 million cubic yards. Due to the growing effec- tiveness of the channel improvement program average low-water maintenance dredging requirements are steadily being reduced, and an increase in navigable depth is being obtained. A long- range plan has been developed and recommended to bring about the desired program of channel improvement between Cairo and the Head of Passes including additional bank revetment, dredging, training works, and foreshore protection. Baton Rouge Harbor (Devils Swamp): Construction under this project was initiated on January 19, 1958, and 7,458,086 cubic yards have been excavated in completing 2.5 miles of the proposed 5-mile channel to project dimensions. Construction of the retaining dikes to project dimensions is re- quired to complete this segment. This portion of the project is 84 percent complete. The remaining 2.5 miles will be constructed when and as needed. Vicksburg Harbor: Construction of the project started in December 1956. Clearing and grubbing, and construction of retaining dikes and approach fill were completed in November 1959. Dredging of harbor and approach channels and placing of industrial fill was started in March 1959 and is 80 percent complete. Greenville Harbor: Advance planning is under way. A general design memorandum has been completed for submission to higher authority. Memphis Harbor (Tennessee Chute): The Ensley levee is 41 percent complete. The project as a whole is 77 percent complete. Atchafalaya Basin, La.: a. Wax Lake Outlet and Charenton Canal. Wax Lake Outlet and Charenton Canal are complete. Alterations to the New Iberia & Northern Railway bridge were completed July 18, 1955. b. Atchafalaya River and Basin. Levees extend along both banks of the Atchafalaya River. The 50.8 miles in the east bank system and 60.0 miles of the 60.7 miles in the west bank system have been built to approved grade and section. 1946 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 c. Atchafalaya Basin floodway. Levees have been built to ap- proved grade and section on the west side of the Atchafalaya Basin from Mansura Hills to Hamburg to confine flood waters within the West Atchafalaya floodway, the Atchafalaya River, and along Bayou des Glaises from Hamburg to Simmesport. Contin- uous levee systems extend along the east and west limits of the floodway. The east protection levee extends from Morganza to Cutoff Bayou; 24.7 miles of the 107.9 miles in this levee system having been built to grade and section. The west protection levees extend from Hamburg to Wax Lake Outlet and thence via the lower floodway protection levee to Berwick drainage canal, with 92.5 miles of the 128.2 miles in the system built to grade and section. The lower Atchafalaya system of levees is partially complete west of Berwick and the lower Atchafalaya River from Berwick drainage canal to Wax Lake Outlet and thence to the Charenton drainage canal, including Bayou Sale and Teche Ridge levees. Of the 60.5 miles in this system, 59.0 miles have been built. For status of these levees, see table E-1. Ring levees have been completed at Simmesport, Melville, and Krotz Springs. Landside borrow pit channels have been excavated along the west protection levee between the Bayou des Glaises diversion canal at Hamburg and the Charenton drainage canal, and along the east protection levee between Fordoche and Ramah for the passage of intercepted drainage. Floodway and basin improvements, other than levees, com- pleted prior to 1943 are as described on pages 1884 and 1885 of the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers for 1943. Improvements completed since then included a drainage struc- ture in the Simmesport ring levee; floodwalls at Morgan City, Berwick, and Tiger Island, 1,891, 5,219, and 1,990 feet in length, respectively; two pumping plants at Morgan City (Morgan City and Tiger Island); locks at Berwick, Bayou Boeuf, and Bayou Sorrel; a drainage structure and outlet channel at Bayou Courta- bleau; a floodgate and access bridge at Charenton drainage canal; floodgates at Calumet on the east and west sides of Wax Lake Outlet; a channel 9 feet by 100 feet from Bayou Boeuf to Bayou Long, which acts as a drainage outlet for the floodway and forms a part of the alternate route for the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway; improvement of interior drainage west of Berwick by excavation of a channel from Calumet to Wax Lake East levee borrow pit and construction of Ellerslie, Bayou Yokely, Franklin and Mary- land pumping stations, and Wax Lake West and Wax Lake East drainage structures. A total of 22.6 miles of improvement dredging in the main channel of the Atchafalaya Basin has been completed intermittent- ly between miles 54.7 and 95.2 Between Courtableau and Krotz Springs, over the West Atcha- falaya floodway, the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Railway Co.'s high-level crossing is complete, except for deferred construction. Improvements, other than levees, now in progress are as fol- lows: Improvement dredging between mile 89.0 to mile 95.2 at MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 1947 Chicot Pass and relocation of U.S. Highway 190, which is 53 percent complete. The Atchafalaya Basin floodway is approximately 82 percent complete. In order to insure the adequacy of the flood-carrying capacity of the Atchafalaya Basin floodways, the dredging of resistant areas to enlarge the lower Atchafalaya River channel, the enlarge- ment of the basin protection levees and drainage structures, and the construction of roadways on levees where necessary for in- spection and maintenance, are recommended. d. Morganza floodway (includes Morganza control structure). At the upper end of the floodway, the combined high-level cross- ing for State Highway 30, the Texas & Pacific Railway's Port Allen branch line, and the Morganza control structure was com- pleted February 18, 1960, when a lump-sum payment was made to the State of Louisiana, Department of Highways, to provide for the assumption of the obligation for completing the embank- ments with permanent paving at a later date, which will permit utilization of the full life of the present temporary paving. The forebay levee has been degraded. About midway, the Texas & Pacific Railway Co.'s main line crosses the floodway between McKneely and Red Cross; this high-level crossing was completed February 9, 1956, when the deferred construction period expired. At the lower end, United States Highway 190 was completed September 12, 1953, and the New Orleans, Texas & Mexico Rail- road high-level crossing was completed August 12, 1944. All scheduled construction has been completed. e. Atchafalaya River navigation.

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 in- vestigations 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 applications for studies approved prior to July 1, 1959'.... 118 Number of applications for studies approved during fiscal year 1960 .. 7 Number of reports completed prior to July 1, 1959 ................. 117 Number of reports completed during fiscal year 1960 ............... 7 Number of studies remaining to be completed .................... 27 1 Two or more reports have resulted or will result from some applications. Section 5 of the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935 (Public Law 409, 74th Cong.) provided that every report submitted to Congress looking to the improvement of the entrance at the mouth of any river or at any inlet for navigation contain information concerning the configuration of the shore line and the probable effect of the proposed improvement on the coast line for a distance of not less than 10 miles on either side of the entrance. The basic law authorizing beach erosion studies was supplemented by the act approved July 31, 1945 (Public Law 166, 79th Cong.,) which made it the duty of the Chief of Engi- neers, through the Beach Erosion Board, in addition to partici- pating 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 deter- mining 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 shore of the United States was established in the act approved August 13, 1946 (Public Law 727, 79th Cong.), subsequently amended by Public Law 826, 84th Congress, approved July 28, 1956. The latter act declared it to be the policy of the United States to 1981 1982 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 assist in the construction, but not the maintenance, of works for the restoration and protection against erosion, by waves and currents, of the shores of the United States, its Territories and possessions, provided that the Federal contribution to any project shall not exceed one-third of the cost and that the plan of protec- tion shall have been specifically adopted and authorized by Con- gress after investigation and study by the Beach Erosion Board. Periodic beach nourishment by deposit of sand fill at suitable intervals of time may be considered as construction eligible for Federal aid for a specified period, if in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers it is the most suitable and economical protective measure. Shores other than public are eligible for Federal assistance toward their protection if public benefits result there- from, the amount of Federal assistance being adjusted in accord- ance with the degree of such benefits. 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, and lakes, estuaries, and bays directly connected therewith. During fiscal year 1960 the following served as members of the Beach Erosion Board: Maj. Gen. Walter K. Wilson, Jr., U.S. Army, president; Maj. Gen. Frank M. Albrecht, U.S. Army, division engineer, South Atlantic division; Brig. Gen. Robert G. MacDonnell, U.S. Army, division engineer, South Pacific division; Brig. Gen. Clarence Renshaw, U.S. Army, division engineer, North Atlantic division and later assistant chief of engineers for Military Construction; Brig. Gen. Thomas H. Lipscomb, U. S. Army, division engineer, North Atlantic division, Dr. Thorndike Saville, consulting engineer to the State of New York; Dr. Morrough P. O'Brien of California, dean emeritus of the College of Engineering, University of California; Dr. Lorenz G. Straub, engineering consultant, Division of Waterways, Department of Conservation, State of Minnesota. During fiscal year 1960, 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 effective 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 San Diego County, Calif.; Orange County (Newport Bay to San Mateo Creek), Calif.; Cape Cod Canal to Provincetown, Mass.; Wessagusset Beach, Weymouth, Mass.; Michigan State Line to Marblehead, Ohio; Delaware Bay Shore of New Jersey (Cape May Canal to Maurice River) ; and Presque Isle Peninsula, Erie, Pa. The Board's staff reviewed nine reports and one design mem- orandum on navigation improvements which included information as to probable effects on adjacent shore lines, as provided in Section 5 of the River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935, and also reviewed one hurricane survey report with navigation and beach erosion control.

Honolulu The board has continued general investigations of means of protecting shores and beaches against erosion, in accordance with authorization contained in the act approved July 31, 1945 (Public Law 166, 79th Cong.). Three technical memoranda and two miscellaneous papers were published by the board and publication of the board's bulletin was continued on an annual basis to disseminate pertinent information to the public. Two. additional technical memoranda are in press. Three articles by board staff members were published in the 1959 bulletin, and two additional articles by staff members are in preparation for the current annual bulletin. Revisions and addenda to bring the comprehen- sive report entitled "Shore Protection Planning and Design", Technical Report No. 4, up to date with current research, have been drafted. Two technical papers prepared by the staff and presented before meetings of technical societies have been or are being published in the technical press and one additional technical report was presented, but is not presently planned for publication. In addition a discussion of a technical paper was prepared by a staff member, and is in press. Eight additional papers reporting results of research by the staff were in prepara- tion. The staff worked on seven major research or engineering projects (other than hurricane studies) for various agencies, and five reports were prepared for agencies on such propects. Data and recommendations on design conditions and criteria for application in studies involving protection against hurricanes were prepared for seven locations or general areas for five differ- ent Corps offices involving four studies of major and three of 1984 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 lesser effort. Training lectures were presented by two staff members at the Engineer School. Seven contracts with universities for research to supplement the staff activities were continued, one of which was completed during the year. The staff cooperated with two districts and the American Shore and Beach Preserva- tion Association in setting up a high school science class project dealing with shore processes and shoreline changes along a section of the New Jersey coast. Also five descriptive presentations on shore processes and shore protection were made by staff members before public associations dealing with shore problems. At the end of the year, studies by the staff were in progress on: the characteristics of ocean waves by actual measurement at five localities; the improvement of wave forecasting procedures; methods of bypassing sand at inlets; sources of beach material; wave runup and overtopping on shore structures, including per- meable structures; stability of rubble-mound structures; effects of tidal inlets on adjacent beaches; wave pressure attenuation with depth; scour in front of seawalls caused by wave action; wave forces on structures; relation of littoral drift rate to incident waves; wave and surge theory; amount of suspended sand in the surf zone; model scale effects; adaptations of the wave spectrum analyzer to laboratory and full field use; and reexamination of completed shore protection projects. CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of the Corps of Engineers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, 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, com- prising 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 dis- charging into the Pacific Ocean through the connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. The Commission also has charge of improvements for the control of floods on the Sacramento River. The duties prescribed by the act creating the Commission are: First: To regulate hydraulic mining in such a way as to permit its resumption and continuance under such restrictions as to pre- vent the resulting debris from being carried into navigable waters or otherwise causing damage. Second: To study and report upon general hydraulic and hydraulic-mining conditions and matters affecting or affected by them and to make surveys, mature, and adopt plans for the purpose of improving the navigability, deep- ening 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 carry- ing them out. Congress, however, has from time to time adopted certain of the plans formulated by the Commission and charged it with their execution, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army and the supervision of the Chief of Engineers.

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND PREPARATION OF PLANS Location. Operations are largely limited to the territory be- tween 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 improvement provides for regulating hydraulic mining operations, planning the improvement of condi- tions upon the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their 1985 1986 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 tributaries affected by such operations, and the preparation of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in their drainage areas. 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 irriga- tion purposes and power development, upon such conditions of delivery, use, and payment as he may approve. Applications of prospective miners are fully investigated 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 agree to make payment for storage in Government-constructed, debris- restraining reservoirs constructed under the act of June 19, 1934, as set forth below. For location and description of Government- constructed debris-restraining reservoirs for general hydraulic mining see Improvement No. 3, "Sacramento River and tributaries (debris control), California." The average annual Federal cost of this work during the past 5 years was $4,974. The existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 1, 1893 Created California Debris Commission and author- Ex.

Local cooperation. Mine owners are required to bear all ex- penses incurred in complying with the orders of the Commission for regulation of mining and restraint of debris. Operations and results during fiscal year. Inspections of hydraulic mines were accomplished to determine compliance of the mine owners with the requirements of the licenses issued. Cost of these inspections, regulation of hydraulic mining, issuance of licenses, and other administrative work was $4,868 during the fiscal year for maintenance. Administrative work overlaps that of improvements 2, 3, and 4, hereunder, and that of the Sacra- mento Engineer District. Condition at end of fiscal year. The Commission has received 1,290 applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 13 mines are licensed, of which two use storage behind Government debris dams. Work remaining to be done is, in general, the continuation of the above or similar operations. The total cost of all work to June 30, 1960, was $778,851, for maintenance.

TREATMENT OF THE YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS, CALIF. Location. The works are on the Yuba River between Marys- ville and where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U.S. Geological Survey topo- graphic map of the Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Existing project. This provides for storage of mining debris within the bed of the Yuba River by means of construction of Daguerre Point Dam, 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 naviga- tion therein. The variation in water levels due to floods is about 12 feet. The total cost of new work, completed in 1935, was $723,259, of which $361,482 was from United States funds and $361,777 from required contributed funds by the State of Cali- fornia. (For details of this project in its original form, see An- nual Report, 1917, p. 1810, "Previous projects.") 1988 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $146,344, consisting of an average of $73,172 from United States funds and $73,172 from funds contributed by local intersts. The expenditure of $207,500 from United States deferred main- tenance funds, together with $207,500 from required contributed funds, a total of $415,000, in addition to regular maintenance and required contributed maintenance funds in fiscal years 1957 through 1960 inclusive, is reflected in the above average. 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. Fully complied with for new work. Total costs for new work for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization amount to $361,777, all of which was required contribution by the State of California. In addition, training walls were built on each bank below Daguerre Point for a distance of 11,250 feet and just above Daguerre Point, on the south bank, for a distance of 11,000 linear feet by two gold-dredging companies in connection with their dredging operations. It was estimated (1920) that it would have cost the United States $450,000 to build these training walls. Flood channels were also built by gold-dredging companies within the confines of the project works. It was estimated (1926) that the cost of equally effective works to restrain debris movement would have been more than $776,000 to the United States. The State of California contributes annually an amount equal to the Federal allotment for maintenance. Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular Funds. Maintenance: Operations during the year included condition and operation studies, including maintenance of gages and gage read- ings, and the preparation of plans and specifications, all of which were accomplished by hired labor. The following construction was accomplished during the fiscal year, by contract: (1) repairs to Daguerre Point Dam; (2) bank protection along right and left banks of Yuba River, vicinity of Dantoni Orchard and Walnut Avenue; and (3) additional bank protection along Yuba River, vicinity of Dantoni Orchard and Rubke Bend. Deferred Maintenance Funds. Maintenance: Operations during the year consisted primarily of bank protection work, by contract, along the right and left banks of Yuba River, vicinity of Dantoni Orchard and Walnut Avenue, and in additionq a minor amount of condition and operation studies were made in connection with this construction. RIVERS AND HARBORS - CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1989 Total cost of maintenance during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds Maintenance United States funds: Regular appropriations .............................................. $113,308 Deferred maintenance appropriations ................................. 3,327 Total United States funds ........................................ 116,635 Required contributed funds ............................................ 116,635 Total all funds .................................................. 233,270 Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in November 1902, and 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. Subsequent to the above construction, the Yuba Consolidated Goldfields was issued a Department of the Army permit in 1944 for dredging a 600-foot channel which replaces the above two 500-foot channels above Daguerre Point Dam. Work under the permit was completed in October 1956. The new channel gives almost a 900 approach for flows toward the crest of the dam. The project has been maintained in a satisfactory condition suitable to the purpose intended and the result has been to hold in the Yuba River millions of cubic yards of mining debris which would otherwise have passed into the channels of Feather and Sacramento Rivers to the detriment of navigation. The December 1955 and spring 1958 floods caused extensive damages to the banks. Repairs have been made to approximately 12,000 feet of bank. About 3,000 feet of bank, damaged in the 1959-60 flood season and the 1955 and 1958 floods, remains to be repaired, and rehabilitation of these locations is proposed for fiscal year 1961. The decking of the Daguerre Dam, damaged in the above floods, was repaired in fiscal year 1960. Regulation of the river necessitates annual clearing in the chan- nel to provide adequate capacity for floodflows, and the con- struction of bank revetment for current deflection work to prevent erosion. A number of current deflectors and retards have been constructed in the past; however, experience gained during the 1950, 1955, and 1958, floods, when a number of retards were washed out, indicates that bank protection is a better means of controlling erosion. It is contemplated that retards will be re- placed by rock revetment of the banks in lieu of reconstruction of the retards, and construction of new bank revetments where necessary to correct and protect banks damaged in the 1955 and subsequent floods.

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 re- sumption of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for construction of reservoirs for the purpose of retaining mining debris. North Fork Dam was completed in fiscal year 1939. 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 million cubic RIVERS AND HARBORS - CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1991 yards. Harry L. Englebright Dam was completed in fiscal year 1941. The reservoir is on the Yuba River about 20 miles north- east 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 million cubic yards. The total Federal cost of this new work was $4,695,259. The average annual maintenance cost during the past 5 years was $24,101. The Harry L. Englebright Reservoir and the North Fork Reservoir have total recreational areas of 68 acres and 25 acres, respectively. Studies have been made of the adequacy and im- provement of these areas. It is estimated (July 1960) that im- provements to recreational areas will cost $215,000 and $105,000 for Harry L. Englebright Dam and North Fork Dam, respectively. Construction of additional facilites at Englebright Reservoir was initiated in fiscal year 1959 and is approximately 28 percent complete. Construction of additional facilities at the North Fork Reservoir was also initiated in fiscal year 1959 and is approxi- mately 49 percent complete. The reservoir project sites on the Middle Fork of the American River and on Bear River are considered to be inactive and are excluded from the foregoing cost estimate. The estimated cost of this portion of the project is $2,298,128 (1935). The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map, see the project docu- ment. The act approved November 6, 1945, provided that the dam constructed at the Upper Narrows site on the Yuba Rivgr, in the State of California, should thereafter be known and designated as the Harry L. Englebright Dam. Local cooperation. Satisfactory assurances were furnished the Secretary of the Army for repayment of the capital cost of the reservoir from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and impounded in these reservoirs. These funds are paid to the Director of Internal Revenue then credited by the Treasurer of the United States to the Hydraulic Mining in Cali- fornia Debris Fund. A total of $269,638 has been appropriated to the project from the above debris fund as of June 30, 1960. Of this amount, $258,896 has been expended for Federal operation and maintenance of Harry L. Englebright and North Fork Reservoirs from this debris fund to June 30, 1960. Improvements have been made to facilities at North Fork Dam and Reservoir by the Auburn Recreation Park and Parkway District and the Auburn Boat Clubs (concessionaire) at an esti- mated cost of $22,300 since September 1953. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Hired labor was utilized to construct improvements to the existing recreational areas and to develop new areas. Installation of picnic facilities of two new locations and the improvement of the parking areas was accomplished at Englebright Dam. Installation of picnic facilities at one new location and the improvement of 1992 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 access road, parking areas and the boat launching ramp was accomplished at North Fork Dam. Maintenance: Operations during the year included maintenance and operation of the Harry L. Englebright and North Fork Dams and appurtenant service facilities and condition and operation inspections and studies, all of which were accomplished by hired labor. The total cost of work during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total Regular funds.............................

Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the dams was initiated in 1937, and the North Fork Dam and Reservoir was completed and in use at the end of fiscal year 1939 and Harry L. Englebright Dam and Reservoir was completed in January 1941. The two debris-control structures are in good condition. The parking areas have been enlarged and improved to somewhat relieve the congested parking situation in the public-use areas and additional recreational facilities were constructed in fiscal year 1960. The main recreation area at the North Fork Dam and Reser- voir, approximately 5 acres, is maintained and operated by the Auburn Recreation Park and Parkway District under a license agreement approved in September 1953. The licensee has main- tained and made some improvements to the existing facilities. In addition, a 10-acre area at the head of the reservoir is being serviced by the above-named district. Public use of the reservoir area was about 40,600 visitor-days in calendar year 1959. The recreation areas at Harry L. Englebright Dam and Reser- voir, approximately 10 acres are maintained by the Corps of Engineers. Public use of the reservoir area was about 38,700 visitor-days in calendar year 1959. Public use of these reservoir areas has more than doubled during the past 5 years and greatly overtaxes the present capaci- ties. It is expected that future public use will increase rapidly as additional recreational facilities become available. The primary purpose of the project was to make possible the resumption of hydraulic mining in the tributary watershed for which local interests are required to reimburse the United States according to the volume of debris contributed. However, hydrau- lic mining activity has practically ceased during recent years. Annual maintenance activities are required to protect the Federal investment and, in addition, maintenance of the project benefits the downstream navigation projects, primarily the Sacramento River project, in that it prevents debris deposits in these channels FLOOD CONTROL - CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1993 and thus reduces the annual maintenance costs for the Sacramento River navigation channel. Maintenance of this project also helps to maintain flood-channel capacities in the downstream river reaches. In the case of Harry L. Englebright Dam and Reservoir an additional benefit is realized through the use of the head created for the generation of hydroelectric power. An existing contract with the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. calls for payment to the Federal Government of $18,000 per year for the first 30 years and $48,000 per year after that in return for the use of head at Englebright Dam and gen- eration of hydroelectric power. Total payment through Decem- ber 31, 1959, amounts to $306,100; these funds are paid to the California Debris Commission and deposited for credit by the Director of Internal Revenue to the "Debris Fund." The total cost of the project to June 30, 1960, was as follows: Funds New work 1 Maintenance 'Total United States: Regular funds ......................... 2$4,695,259 $302,515 $4,997,774 Hydraulic mining in California funds.... ................ 258,896 258,896 Total .............................. 4,695,259 561,411 5,256,670 1 Exclusive of $644,503 costs from regular funds on inactive portion of the project. 2 Including $48,387 for recreational facilities.

The works covered by this improvement are on the Sacramento River and tributaries in north-central California from Collinsville to Ord Bend, a distance of 184 miles. Previous project. Improvement of the original project for 1994 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Sacramento River was previously performed under the title of "Alleviation of Debris Conditions in the Sacramento and Feather Rivers, California." Debris resulting from hydraulic mining operations and natural erosion had obstructed the channels of these rivers by raising the riverbeds and reducing the capacity to such an extent that the streams broke through their banks and overflowed large areas during high floods, increasing the shoaling in the channels themselves. The large deposits of debris in the river channels and its variable movement downstream had im- paired their navigability. The construction and operation of hydraulic dredges was authorized with the object of removing deposits from the Sacramento River to improve navigation, with no definite limits in depth, width, or location of the work being prescribed. Work was accomplished from the mouth of the Sacramento River, in Suisun Bay at Collinsville, to Rio Vista, 14 miles above, and consisted of channel enlargement and levee con- struction. Local interests were required to contribute an equal amount toward the cost of the work and, in addition, to provide all rights-of-way for levees and spoil banks free of cost to the United States. These requirements were fully complied with. In addition, the State of California constructed a retaining em- bankment for spoil deposit. This minor project was absorbed in the existing project. The original project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (in accordance with re- port of California Debris Commission dated June 30, 1907, and printed in Annual Report for 1907, page 2262). For further de- tails, see Annual Report for 1917, page 1815, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1995. Existing project. The Sacramento River Flood-Control proj- ect is a comprehensive plan of flood control for the Sacramento River and the lower reaches of its principal tributaries. The im- provement extends along the Sacramento River from Ord Bend in Glenn County, Calif., downstream to its mouth at Collinsville at the upper end of Suisun Bay, a distance of 184 miles, and com- prises a system of levees, overflow weirs, drainage pumping plants, and flood-bypass channels or floodways designed to carry the surplus floodwaters without inundation of valley lands. The project provides for the enlargement of the Sacramento River below the mouth of Cache Slough to carry the entire flood dis- charge of the river basin; for making two cutoffs between the mouth of the Feather River and Colusa; for the construction of four bypass weirs, and reconstruction of Tisdale Weir; for con- struction of drainage outfall gates at Butte Slough and at Knights Landing; for the construction of levees along certain reaches of the main river and tributaries; for construction of three drainage pumping plants on the east side of Sutter Bypass; for construction of bank-protection works and levee setbacks on the main river and tributaries from Ord Bend to Collinsville; for maintenance, during the construction period, of the enlarged river channel below Cache Slough, including revetment of the banks of the enlarged channel; and for operation and maintenance of gag- ing stations during the same period on navigable rivers and FLOOD CONTROL - CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1995 streams. The project also includes channel clearing, rectifica- tion, snagging, and bank protection along the Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County from Red Bluff southerly. Approximately 980 miles of levee construction, with an average height of 15 feet, and 98 miles of bank protection are involved in the project. When completed, the project will provide adequate flood protection to about 800,000 acres of highly productive agri- cultural lands and to the cities of Colusa, Marysville, Yuba City, Sacramento, North Sacramento, and numerous smaller com- munities; two transcontinental railways; two transcontinental highways; and State and county highways and feeder railroads. It has made possible the reclamation of swamps and other over- flow land which have been developed to a high degree of use. The project is approximately 83 percent complete at the end of fiscal year 1960. The above levee improvements were supplemented by addi- tional levee construction and reconstruction, including levee pro- tection of Upper Butte Basin and multipurpose reservoirs, author- ized by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, and May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 649, 78th Cong., 2d sess., and H. Doc. 367, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). The project improvements were further sup- plemented by works authorized by the Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958, (H. Doc. 272, 84th Cong., 2d sess.), consisting of bank protection and incidental channel improvements on the Sacramento River from Chico Landing to Red Bluff. This authorization also contemplates flood-plain zoning downstream from Keswick Dam to assure maintenance of present floodway areas. The latest approved estimate (July 1960) of Federal cost for the existing project (exclusive of the improvements authorized by the Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944, May 17, 1950, and July 3, 1958), including new work and maintenance, is $76,700,- 000, for construction. The record flood of December 1955 dis- closed certain structural and functional deficiencies which could not be identified until the system was tested by this major flood. Such deficiencies are being corrected under the present project authorization. Survey of the work required to correct these deficiencies was made in 1957. Since the remaining work to complete the project is presently defined in the Memorandum of Understanding, dated November 6, 1953, between the State and the Corps, a supple- ment to this memorandum was entered into with the State of California on November 29, 1957 to include the new work items. Cost of the work covered is estimated at $6,300,000 (1957). A second supplement to the memorandum of understanding was entered into on June 5, 1958, providing for a maximum expendi- ture of $1,500,000 for interim-bank protection at critical locations. Operation and maintenance of the project after completion will be the responsibility of local interests; as units of the project are completed they are transferred to agencies of the State of California for operation and maintenance. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of 1996 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 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. Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, pro- vided that local interests were to contribute one-half the cost of construction of project levees, estimated at $3,191,500, and fur- nish 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 runoff, unless approved by the Cali- fornia Debris Commission; should hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction works: and pro- vided further, That the bank of 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, the rights-of-way for said works, including the cost of all alterations to highways, road crossings, and drainage and irri- gation facilities incident to the work, and shall have contributed one-third of the cost of bank revetment and levee reconstruction, with the understanding that the contribution of funds will be made as required by the progress of the work; and the State of 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, relieved local interests of all future con- struction costs under the existing project, but required them to give assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they would: (1) Provide all needed lands, easements, and rights- of-way free of cost to the United States; (2) bear the expense of necessary highway, railroad, and bridge alterations; (3) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages result- ing from construction of the works; and (4) maintain and operate all flood-control works after completion, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. Chapter 196 of the Statutes of 1953, State of California, offi- cially adopted the project and modifications thereto. Local in- terests are represented by the Reclamation Board of the State of California. The Board has met all requirements to date and has furnished assurances of required local cooperation to meet all requirements for work as needed. FLOOD CONTROL - CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1997 Local interests' costs from required contributed funds for project work total $4,949,438 for levee construction, bank-protec- tion works, and levee setbacks, of which $4,939,752 was for new work and $9,686 for maintenance. In addition to the project requirements, local interests have constructed several pumping plants for drainage of agricultural and urban land protected by the project levees. Also, some chan- nel-clearing work was accomplished by the State of California and other local interests to supplement project levee construction. Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including the above required contributed funds and other contributed funds, amount to $107,500,000 (July 1960). Total estimated cost of new work to June 30, 1960, for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, amount to about $92 million. Units or portions of the project are transferred to agencies of the State of California for operation and maintenance as they are completed. Annual cost of such maintenance is estimated at $1,130,000 (July 1960). Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Levee construction, initiated during fiscal year 1959 under continuing contracts, was completed as follows: Left bank, Feather and Bear Rivers, from Nicolaus Bridge to Western Pacific Railroad bridge; right bank, Sacramento River, between Colusa and Knights Land- ing; and right bank, Sacramento River, Sidds Landing to Ord Bend, mile 177.5 to mile 184.7. Work was accomplished by contract at the following locations during the fiscal year: Levee construction, left bank, Sacramento River, vicinity of Colusa Bridge to Moulton Weir; and bank protection and levee construction, right and left banks, Sacra- mento River and left bank, 3-Mile Slough, Sacramento and Yolo Counties (Supplement No. 2, 3d contract). Bank protection and levee construction was initiated during the fiscal year, by continuing contract, along left bank Sacramento River, Lindsay Slough, and right bank, 3-Mile Slough. In addi- tion, the following work was also initiated by contract: Levee stabilization, right bank, Feather River, Levee Districts 1 and 9, Sutter County; and bank protection and levee construction, right and left banks, Sacramento River, in Colusa, Sutter and Yolo Counties (Supplement No. 2, 2d contract). Engineering and design, including surveys, explorations, prep- aration of contract plans and specifications, and design memo- randa was continued by hired labor during the fiscal year. Hired labor was also utilized in the preparation of operation and main- tenance manuals and as-built drawings for completed portions of the project. A total of 511,292 cubic yards of embankment was placed in levees along the project waterways during the fiscal year. Utility relocations were accomplished concurrently with the 1998 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Federal construction and under the contract, with funds provided by the State of California. No maintenance work was accomplished during the year. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year was as follows: Funds New work United States fund: Regular appropriations .............................................. $1,869,055 Contributed funds, other ........................................... 549,850 Total all funds ................... ............................ . 2,418,905 Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the existing project, initiated in fiscal year 1918, is approximately 83 percent complete. The channel improvement accomplished to date has produced a channel with a capacity of 579,000 cubic feet per sec- ond in the Sacramento River below Cache Slough. In addition, discharges up to 21,000 cubic feet per second can be diverted from the Sacramento River through Georgiana Slough. Completed major project items include approximately 870 miles of levees; 5 weirs with a combined discharge capacity of 602,000 cubic feet per second; two cutoff channels; two sets of outfall gates; channel improvement and clearing in the Sacramento River, Butte Creek, Putah Creek, and Sutter and Tisdale Bypasses; construction of two main bypasses or floodways and secondary bypasses at Tis- dale and Sacramento Weirs and at Wadsworth Canal; construc- tion of Knights Landing Ridge Cut and of Cache Creek settling basin; a considerable amount of river-levee bank protection, installation of gaging stations; and enlargement of Sacramento River below Cache Slough. The cutoffs at Collins Eddy and between Wild Irishman and Kinneys Bends were made in 1918 and 1919, respectively. Sac- ramento Weir was completed in 1917, Fremont Weir in 1924, Tisdale and Moulton Weirs in 1932, and Colusa Weir in 1933. Out- fall gates at Knights Landing were constructed in 1930 and at the mouth of Butte Slough in 1936. Pumping plants on Sutter Bypass were completed in 1944. Work items with reference to the clearing, snagging, rectification of channels, and bank pro- tection on Sacramento River and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff southerly, provided for by Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, were accomplished in fiscal years 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1951. The total cost of this work was $126,355 of which $30,144 was by contract and $96,212 by hired labor. Flood damages prevented by the project during the December 1955 flood were estimated at $90 million, and flood damages pre- vented during the January and February 1956 floods were esti- mated at $15 million, a total of $105 million. These floods, how- ever, inflicted about $1 million damages to the area along the uncompleted portions of the project. For details of these floods see Annual Report for 1957, page 1904. Similarly, the project prevented damage estimated at about $100 million during the 1958 floods. However, estimates indicate FLOOD CONTROL CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1999 that about $300,000 damages occurred along the uncompleted portions of the project. The large 1955 flood revealed certain functional and structural deficiencies in the comprehensive levee system. A survey of the work required to correct these deficiencies was completed in fiscal year 1958. Since the remaining work to complete the project is presently defined in the memorandum of understanding, dated November 6, 1953, between the State of California and the Corps, a supplement to this memorandum was entered into with the State of California on November 29, 1957, to include the new work items. A second supplement to the memorandum of under- standing was entered into on June 5, 1958, providing for a maxi- mum expenditure of $1,500,000 for interim bank protection at critical locations. Work remaining to be accomplished consists principally of com- pletion of levees (along Sacramento, Feather, and Yuba Rivers, and the adjoining bypasses and tributaries), bank protection, and clearing overflow channels and bypasses; and dredging of the enlarged flood channel below Cache Slough, with continued maintenance dredging until that part of the project below Cache Slough is completed. The total cost of the existing project to June 30, 1960, is as follows: Funds New work Maintenance Total United States funds: Regular appropriations ................. $59,729,904 $1,979,104 1$61,709,008 Public works funds .................... 1,486,469 ................ 1,486,469 Total United States funds ............ 61,216,373 1,979,104 63,195,477 Contributed funds, project work............. 4,939,752 9,686 4,949,438 Total funds, project work............. 66,156,125 1,988,790 68,144,915 Contributed funds, other ................... 4,844,064 ................. 4,844,064 Total all funds ...................... 71,000,189 1,988,790 72,988,979 1 Does not include $429,671 representing book value of plant purchased with previous project funds and transferred to existing project without reimbursement.

This institution is the Waterways Experiment Sta- tion (WES) 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 Engi- neers, effective August 10, 1949. Colonel Edmund H. Lang, Corps of Engineers, is director. The organization is the principal field agency of the Corps of Engineers for the conduct of engineering research, development and investigational activities in the technical fields of hydraulics, ground mobility, flexible pavements, soils other than those phases involving seasonal frost and permafrost, and concrete other than those phases relating to the design and construction of rigid pavements. On a reimbursable basis WES performs experimental studies, and applied research, and provides consulting service per- taining to problems encountered throughout the Corps of Engi- neers as are within its broad capabilities in its assigned fields. Such services include model and prototype studies, engineering and analytical-design studies, laboratory research concerning port- land cement and bituminous concrete mixture design, laboratory testing, and field investigations. Field investigation services in- clude planning, accomplishment and analysis of: Comprehensive exploration of soil and rock formations; instrumentation systems to measure pressures, deflections, and strains in engineering struc- tures; and field inspection services including establishment of control laboratories and training field personnel. Subject to ap- proval by the Chief of Engineers, studies can also be undertaken for other agencies. The Waterways Experiment Station also provides a research service to assemble, analyze, and disseminate experimental data of importance to the Corps of Engineers, particularly in, but not necessarily limited to, the fields covered by the Hydraulics, Soils, and Concrete Divisions. In connection with this fact-disseminating service, the station maintains an extensive library and issues publications of general interest, and can aid materially in elimi- nating duplication of effort throughout the Corps of Engineers in the conduct of experimental studies. During fiscal year 1960, one annual summary, 133 reports of individual studies conducted at the Waterways Experiment Station, and 6 translations were distributed to Corps of Engineers offices and interested outside agencies. In addition the editing and printing units of the Tech- nical Services Division completed 485 miscellaneous assignments for the WES and other offices, making direct distribution for 45 of these assignments. 2001 2002 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 OPERATIONS AND RESULTS DURING FISCAL YEAR Work accomplished at the Waterways Experiment Station is, in general, initially financed by the revolving fund, reimbursement therefor being obtained directly from agencies for whom the work is performed. The cost for operation of the station for the 12 months ending June 30, 1960, amounted to $7,112,340, of which $6,606,875 was charged to establishments served for research investigations and related services, and $505,465 for permanent improvements. Of the reimbursable work, $3,303,300 was charged to civil funds, $3,284,940 to military funds, and $18,635 to non- governmental agencies. The total cost incurred for operation of the Waterways Experiment Station to June 30, 1960, amounted to $81,899,755 of which $70,786,301 was for reimbursable opera- tions and $11,113,454 for the cost of permanent improvements and miscellaneous operating expenses. The following table is a summary of the studies and investigations accomplished at the station during the fiscal year 1960. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NAVIGATION CONGRESSES The United States Congress by an act approved June 28, 1902, appropriated $3,000 a year for the support and maintenance of the Permanent International Commission of Navigation Con- gresses and for payment of the actual expenses of properly ac- credited national delegates of the United States to the meetings of the Congresses and of the Commission. An increase in the appropriation to $5,000 annually was authorized by the River and Harbor Act approved June 30, 1948. Of this amount, $1,500 is paid by the American Section directly to the International Asso- ciation with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. The objective of the Association, to promote the progress of inland and maritime navigation, is met by holding International Congresses and by publishing technical bulletins and other documents. The Con- gresses are held in various member countries, usually at 4-year intervals. The Association is supported principally by member nations, but membership also extends to corporations and individuals. Member nations and international organizations are represented at the Congresses and at meetings of the Permanent International Commission by delegates, the number of official delegates being based on the amount of the annual subsidy paid by the Govern- ment, or organization, but not to exceed 10 in number. Corporate members may send two official representatives to the Congresses. Individual membership is of two classes; annual and life, de- pending on the method of payment of dues. The affairs of the Association are managed by a Permanent International Commission composed of delegates from the sup- porting governments and international organizations. A perma- nent Council assists the International Commission. The American members of the Permanent International Commission comprise the National Commission which is the governing body of the American Section. The Director of Civil Works, U.S. Army, and the resident member of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, are ex officio chairman and secretary, respectively, of the National Commission. Two members of the National Com- mission also serve as members of the permanent council. The chairman, secretary, and two Council members are the officers of the American Section. The secretary handles all administrative matters of the American Section. During fiscal year 1960 the United States members of the Permanent International Commission were: Brig. Gen. John L. Person, USA, ex officio chairman of the national Commission, succeeded by Maj. Gen. William F. Cassidy; Col. Carl H. Bronn, CE-USA, ex officio secretary; and the following members: Col. F. H.

The act further required that the work of the Commission be per- formed by and through the Department of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other per- sonnel, 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 commis- sion 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 re- moved 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 waterpower 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. During the past fiscal year work of an engineering nature has been assigned and accomplished as follows: Plans approved by Chief of Engineers and Secretary of the Army in accordance with sec. 4(e)of Federal Water Power Act.............. 15 Reports submitted on applications for preliminary permits or licenses or amendments thereto.......................................... 45 Licenses and permits under supervision ............................ 10 The necessary expenses in excess of nominal amounts for transportation and subsistence of personnel engaged in investi- gations and the cost of supervision under the provisions of the Federal Power Act are paid from appropriations made for the Federal Power Commission.

The Board was organized pursuant to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission approving the maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and the Sprague Falls Manufacturing Co., Ltd., across the St. Croix River at Grand Falls in the State of Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Gov- ernments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The board is charged with the duty of formulating and ad- ministering 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 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, by the Ca- nadian 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 re- placed. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2009 2. That during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently open to ensure passage of the river flow. 3. That the operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to ensure the 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 1960 were Mr. J. E. Peters, district engineer, Water Re- sources Division, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, serving as Canadian member, and Brig. Gen. Alden K. Sibley, Corps of Engineers, serving as United States member. Operations during the fiscal year. Supervision was maintained and inspections made by representatives of the Canadian and United States members to ensure that the regulations of the International Joint Commission were carried out. During the year several meetings were held with officials of the St. Croix Paper Co. concerning plant expansion and its effect on the regimen of the waterway. A pollution survey was carried out during the summer months by Canadian biologists to determine pollution effects of paper mill operations and to continue the record in- dicated for the first report to the Commission. A supplemental report was submitted to the St. Croix River Engineering Board which met with the Commission. It is planned to continue the pollution survey during the summer of 1960. The lower dam, formerly owned by Textile Sales, Inc., was purchased by the New Brunswick Power Commission, and the hydroelectric power plant is being operated to augment the Commission's generating re- sources.

During the year the board has conducted prototype tests of the remedial works to determine whether distortion in the Niagara River model might result in lower water levels being indicated by the model than would actually exist in the prototype. Examination of the data indicated that the model results and prototype measurements were essen- tially in agreement. The board, assisted by regular reports from its working com- mittee, has closely observed the operation of the control structure to assure that operation of the structure was in accordance with the board's operating instructions. The board has encountered no unusual maintenance problems during the year. INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA COMMITTEE Constitution and duties. 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 pro- visions, limitations on the diversion of Niagara River water for power in accordance with article V of the treaty of 1909 are terminated and temporary international agreements for the alloca- tion of waters of the Niagara River for power purposes are replaced. In accordance with provisions of article VII of the 1950 treaty, a representative was appointed by each government who, acting jointly, shall ascertain and determine the amounts of water available for the purposes of this treaty, and shall record the same and shall also record the amounts of water used for power diversions. By an exchange of notes during January 1955, the two governments officially designated the representatives appointed in conformance with article VII of the 1950 treaty as the International Niagara Committee. With regard to flows and diversions, the treaty of 1950 became effective October 10, 1950. Under terms of the treaty, all waters in excess of certain minimum flows which are required to main- tain the scenic spectacle at Niagara Falls are available for diver- sions for power and, with the exception of the 5,000 cubic feet per second authorized October 1950 for diversion by Canada, are to be allocated equally between both countries. However, pending availability of sufficient power development on one side of the river, the unused portion of its share of the water may be utilized in spare capacity on the other side. Minimum flows over the falls shall be not less than 100,000 cubic feet per second between 8 a.m .and 10 p.m., e.s.t., 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. A brief history, regarding the measurement and supervision of diversion of waters from the Niagara River prior to the designa- tion of the representatives appointed under article VII of the 1950 treaty as the International Niagara Committee, is included in the Annual Report for the fiscal year 1955. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2013 Members of the Committee. The Committee consists of two members, one representing the Dominion of Canada and one representing the United States. During fiscal year 1960, the Canadian representative was T. M. Patterson, director, water resources branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, Ottawa, and the United States representative was Col. Harry O. Fischer, division engineer, U. S. Army Engineer Divi- sion, North Central, Corps of Engineers. Operationsduring the fiscal year. The committee received daily reports of operation of the seven hydroelectric generating stations on the Niagara River which divert water from the river above Niagara Falls, and the DeCew Falls plant which diverts water from Lake Erie through the Welland Canal. These reports, sub- mitted in the form prescribed by the Committee and showing for each hour the quantities of water diverted by each plant, were checked by the Committee. Monthly and annual summaries were prepared. Biweekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the committee, 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 self-registering gages. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The board, established 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 nearly 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 the St. Marys River below the locks from exceeding elevation 584.5. Members of the Board. The members of the board for fiscal year 1960 were Col. Harry O. Fischer, division engineer, U. S.

Patterson, director, water resources branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, 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 on Lake Superior, in the St. Marys River above and below the Sault Locks, and on Lake Huron. Records of discharge at Sault Ste. Marie through the rapids, navigation canals, and power plants were also systematically re- ported to the board. A joint inspection was made by the board on November 9, 1959. The board found that the compensating works were being adequately maintained. 2014 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1960 Changes in the rate of outflow from Lake Superior are directed by the board as indicated by the rule curve currently in use. During the past year the board has continued the use of the modified plan of operation under the rule of 1949 for the regula- tion of Lake Superior. LAKE OF THE WOODS WATERSHED The members of the International Lake of the Woods Control Board, the International Rainy Lake Board of Control and the International Prairie Portage Board of Control for the fiscal year were J.D. McLeod, for Canada, and Col. Desloge Brown, Corps of Engineers, for the United States. 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 main- tenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regu- late 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 repre- senting 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 International Falls, as well as with respect to any existing or future dams or works in boundary waters of the Rainy Lake watershed, in the event the Commission shall determine that such emergency conditions exist." On June 8, 1949 the Commission issued an order to the owners of the dams at the outlet of Namakan Lake and Rainy Lake, which provided for a method of regulation as recommended by the International Rainy Lake Board of Control. The order provides for certain levels during the various seasons of the year as well MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 2015 as control of outflows, with the view to securing the most ad- vantageous use of the water in total to the various interests. A supplementary order dated October 1, 1957 modifies the regulations for Namakan Lake to provide for some variation in operation based on anticipated spring runoff. 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 In- ternational Joint Commission for the purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding the suitability of the dam struc- ture at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minn. After approval of the plans by the Department of the Army, and the International Joint Commission, the board has been retained to advise the Commission further regarding progress of construction and re- garding any other matters which might arise concerning this project. The United States Forest Service constructed a cofferdam before World War II but postponed work on the project during the war. Work has not been resumed except that repairs have been made to the cofferdam from time to time, as needed, to main- tain stages on the chain of lakes above.
