CONNECTICUT RIVER BELOW HARTFORD, CONN. Location. Has its source in Connecticut Lake in northern New Hampshire, flows southerly 380 miles, and empties into Long Island Sound at Saybrook, Conn., 14 miles west of New London. Hartford, now head of commercial navigation, is 52 statute miles, by channel, from mouth. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 215, 266,267.) Previous project. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 14, 1836, and July 11, 1870. For further details, see page 1754, Annual Report for 1915 and page 120, Annual Report for 1938. Eightmile River, Conn., elimination as separate project: Provides for a channel 8 feet deep and 75 feet wide from deep water in Con- necticut River to Hamburg and for turning basin of same depth, 150 feet wide, approximately 300 feet long at Hamburg. Project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of 1910. Costs and expenditures were $9,000 all for new work. In accordance with River and Harbor Act of 1950, project for Connecticut River below Hartford was modi- fied to include project for Eightmile River, which was eliminated as a separate project. Aforementioned act also provided for an anchorage basin 6 feet deep and about 6.5 acres in area in upper cove at Hamburg. Existing project. Provides for a channel 15 feet deep at mean low water, 300 feet wide from mouth to Lyme Railroad bridge, about 3.4 miles, and thence 150 feet wide to Hartford, a total distance of 52 miles, channel to be obtained by dredging and construction of dikes, training walls, revetments, and accessory works; for two riprap jetties at mouth of river, tops to be 5 feet above high water and 6 feet wide, easterly one about 2,300 feet and westerly about 2,750 feet long; for A training dike about: 3,700 feet long at Hartford, and for anchorage 54 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 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 long from Connecticut River to Hamburg; a turning basin of same depth 150 feet wide and 300 feet long at Hamburg. Mean tidal range is 3.5 feet at mouth, and at summer stage is about 1 foot at Hartford. Maximum tidal range at mouth due to wind or other causes, is 8 feet or more. At Hartford usual rise due to spring freshets is between 1.6 and 24 feet above mean low water. Maximum recorded freshet at Hartford (March 1936) was 35.5 feet above mean low water. Below middletown the height of crest of freshet decreases rapidly. Latest approved estimate of Federal cost for new work is $1,436,500 (July 1963) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Dredging of 6-foot channel, turning basin and anchorage area at Hamburg to 6 feet deep, about 6.5 acres in area in Eightmile River portion of project is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing estimate. Federal cost of this portion last revised in 1956 was estimated to be $57,000. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $139,921.

River and Harbor Act of 1935 authorized 15- foot channel up to Hartford and additional dikes, training walls, and revetments, subject to provision that local interests furnish, suit- able areas for disposal of dredged material during initial construc- tion and for future maintenance as and when needed. Areas were furnished where required and it is understood that future require- ments will be met. River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, author- ized channel and anchorages in North Cove subject to provisions that local interests contribute in cash $67,500, but not to exceed 50 percent of initial construction cost and give assurances satisfactory to Secre- tary of War that they will provide a suitable public landing in cove, at an estimated cost of $13,000. It is expected that these conditions will be met. Terminal facilities. On both Connecticut and Eightmile Rivers there are two or three wharves at each of river towns, one or more RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 55 in each town being open to public use. At Hartford and Middletown there is approximately one-half of wharf frontage along west bank of river. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Work performed during fiscal year 1963 consisted of dredging, by contract, removing river bars at Haddam Island and Sears Shoal. Work was accomplished during November 1962, and approximately 42,800 cubic yards of ordinary material were removed. Federal costs for fiscal year from regular funds were $46,018 for maintenance. Conditionat end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 70 percent complete. The 15-foot channel from mouth to Hartford was completed in 1937. Saybrook jetties and training walls at Hartford, Clay Banks, and Sears Shoal were completed in 1915. 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. Timber-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 jetties at Saybrook and repairs to revetment at Glastonbury were made in 1960. To complete project requires construction of additional permanent works, and dredging channel and anchorage in North Cove, Old Saybrook, Conn. Head of commercial navigation is at Hartford, 52 miles by channel from mouth. A dam at Holyoke, Mass., 34 miles above Hartford, completely in- terrupts navigation. Controlling depths at mean low water are gen- erally 12.5 feet for midchannel width to Hartford (1960); 1 foot in 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). At Haddam Island Bar and Sears Shoal, controlling depth is 15 feet in 15-foot channel (November 1962). Total costs for existing project from regular Federal funds were $4,141,050, of which $861,984 was for new work, which includes $9,000 of completed new 'work (existing project) transferred from Eightmile project, and $3,279,066 for maintenance.

These requirements, as applied to 35- foot channel, were met, and assurances furnished that requirements for 22-foot channel and turning basin in Quinnipiac River will be met. These assurances were approved by Chief of Engineers on June 2, 1947. Bulkhead spoil areas for 35-foot channel cost local interests $160,000. Estimated cost to local interests of bulkheads for construc- tion of Quinnipiac River 22-foot channel is $50,000. Terminal facilities. Port of New Haven is served by 53 waterfront facilities; 48 are within city limits of New Haven, and 5 in West Haven. Improved waterways within port area along which facilities are located include West River, Main Harbor, West and East Branches of Mill River, and Quinnipiac River channels. Facilities are all pri- vately owned and operated with exception of city wharf. Depths alongside 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 rear which connect with New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road and most are accessible by paved streets. Nineteen wharves have mechanical-handling facilities, six wharves are open to public use upon agreement with the owners. Facilities are adequate 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: Work performed during fiscal year 1963 consisted of dredging, by contract, of 12-foot West River Channel. Work was commenced in May 1963 and in progress at end of fiscal year.

Adoption of all above modifications is recommended subject to con- dition that local interests provide all lands, easements, and rights-of- way necessary for construction and subsequent maintenance, and hold the United States free from all claims for damages resulting from improvements including such damage as may occur to oysterbeds. Terminal facilities. There are 35 waterfront facilities serving port of Bridgeport, all of which are used or in usable condition. Numerous handling facilities are predominate in every section of harbor. Al- though more than 70 percent of total number of docks are marginal wharf-type structures in constricted waterways, there are, however, several offshore wharf- and pier-type structures in open waters of main harbor. All piers, wharves, or docks are accessible by paved roadways, but only half have rail connections with rail line serving port area. Three of the wharves are owned by city of Bridgeport and three others may be used by public upon agreement with the owners or operators. (For further details, see Port and Terminal Facilities of Southern New England, No. 4, revised in 1952.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Hydraulic improvement dredging, by contract, was in progress at start of fiscal year, and was completed early in August 1962. Approximately 153,000 cubic yards of ordinary material were removed, making a total of 675,000 cubic yards removed. Grading and fill at Stratford, Conn., by contract, was commenced in January and completed in March 1963; approximately 94,600 cubic yards of fill were placed. Removal of rock and ordinary material from 35-foot main channel was commenced in May and completed in June 1963. Engineering and design studies, by hired labor, were performed during the fiscal year for navigational improvements at Black Rock Harbor. Local authorities requested project design be reviewed to determine whether an alternate and less costly structure can be ob- tained; and ,also requested consideration of phasing construction of project features. Design studies were in progress at end of fiscal year. Engineering and design studies, by hired labor, were performed during the fiscal year for navigational improvements at Johnson's River. Studies were in progress at end of fiscal year, and prepara- tion of plans and specifications was 75 percent complete. Federal costs for fiscal year from regular funds were $237,815 for new work, RIVERS AND HARBORS - -NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 61 and $1,246 for maintenance. In addition, contributed funds of $69,130 expended for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 82 per- cent complete. Hydraulic improvement dredging at Bridgeport Har- bor was completed in August 1962. Grading and fill at Stratford, Conn., was completed in March 1963. Removal of rock and ordinary material from 35-foot main channel was completed in June 1963. East breakwater is in good condition. Repairs were made to break- water at Fayerweather Island in 1961. Channel in Poquonock River requires dredging to restore project depth. To complete project there remains dredging 6-foot anchorage in Black Rock Harbor, construc- tion of two breakwaters at entrance to Black Rock Harbor, and dredg- ing of one 6-foot and one 9-foot anchorage in Johnsons River.

Plane of reference is mean low water, mean tidal range is about 7.2 feet. Extreme tidal range, due to combined effects of wind and other causes, is 12 feet or more. Federal cost of new work for completed project was $757,681, ex- clusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Dredging of a slight widening in East Branch Channel opposite Ludlow Street and dredging of 8-foot anchorage adjacent to East Branch Channel is con- sidered inactive. Cost of this work was estimated to be $125,000 (1954). Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $1,823.

Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Opera- tions consisted of periodic checking of gates and operating equipment and general maintenance of roads, buildings and grounds. Reservoir operation: There was one period of flood regulation at Mansfield Hollow. In March 1963 the rise had a peak inflow of 1,850 cubic feet per second. The gates were regulated to restrict flow and 5,800 acre-feet or 10 percent of total flood control capacity was util- ized. Maximum regulated outflow to empty reservoir in March was 1,800 cubic feet per second. On March 6 and 7 the flow was restricted 713-891 -64 7 94 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 due to dam failure at Norwich, Conn. On March 27 flow was re- stricted because of threat of a dam failure at Eagleville, Conn. Total costs for fiscal year from regular funds were $29,808, of which $8 was for new work and $29,800 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of dam, initiated in 1949 was completed in May 1952. Remaining works consist of plan- ning and constructing additional recreational facilities.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL WORKS In accordance with provisions of Flood Control Act of 1936, as amended, local flood protection works constructed with Federal funds are transferred to local interests to operate and maintain. To insure compliance with regulations prescribed for their operation and main- tenance regular inspections of the following projects were made dur- ing fiscal year: East Hartford, Hartford, Norwalk, Norwich, Torring- ton, and Waterbury, Conn.; Chicopee, Fitchburg, Haverhill, Holyoke, Huntington, Lowell, Canton, Northampton, Springfield, Ware, West Springfield, and Worcester, Mass.; Farmington, Keene, Lincoln, and Nashua, N.H.; Woonsocket, R.I.; Weston, Vt.; and Cherryfield, Maine. The State of Connecticut is constructing a section of Interstate Route 91, which crosses Hartford (Clark) dike near Hartford- Wethersfield line. Another section of Interstate Route 91 crosses Park River conduit and requires modification of Hartford Riverfront dike. Sections of Interstate Route 84 cross Hartford dike at East Hartford dike at two locations. In Massachusetts a section of Interstate Route 91 has been com- pleted across Mill River conduit in Springfield. In connection with this work a section of floodwall has been relocated. The city of Hartford is constructing an extension of Park River conduit in connec- tion with drainage modifications in drainage area of Park River being made as part of other Interstate Route 84 construction. At Chicopee, Mass., the city of Chicopee is installing a 48-inch sewer main through dike at McKinstry Avenue. Corps of Engineers is inspecting all this work to assure that con- struction conforms with plans approved by the Government. Re- imbursement of inspection costs are required of local interests.

NARROWS OF LAKE CHAMPLAIN, N.Y. AND VT. Location. This waterway, 37 miles long, comprises southern end of Lake Champlain and extends from Whitehall to Crown Point, N.Y, Portion included in project extends from Whitehall, N.Y., at southern extremity of lake, northerly to Benson Landing, Vt., a distance of 13.5 miles. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 174.) Previous projects. Adopted by River and Harbor Acts of July 4, 1836, March 3, 1837, July 7, 1838, August 5, 1886, July 13, 1892, and March 3, 1899. For further details, see page 256, Annual Report for 1932. 178 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Emisting project. Provides for a channel extending from White- hall, N.Y., at head of Lake Champlain, to Benson Landing, to be 12 feet deep at low lake level and generally 150 feet wide, and installation of fender booms at Putts Rock, Putts Leap, narrows near Dresden, Pulpit Point, and Cedar Mountain. Reference plane of low lake level is 93 feet above mean sea level. Length of section included in project for improvement is about 13.5 miles. Usual annual variation of lake level is 5.8 feet, and extreme variation varies from 0.6 foot below up to 8.8 feet above low lake level. Cost for new work for completed portion of project consisting of a channel generally 150 feet wide was $566,811, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $1,947. Widening channel throughout its entire length to project width of 200 feet is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing description of existing project and cost estimate. Cost of this portion last revised in 1954 was estimated to be $1,573,000. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 8, 1917 (H. Doc. 1387, 62d Cong., 3d sess.). Latest published map is in project document. Terminal facilities. In Whitehall Harbor and consist of three tim- ber wharves, aggregating 4,200 feet in length. The State of New York constructed a barge canal terminal at Whitehall, just south of terminus of canal, which has been equipped with a 15-ton hand- operated derrick and a storehouse. Facilities are considered adequate, for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Government plant and hired labor were employed intermittently during the fiscal year in re- pair and replacement of fender booms at a total cost of $3,131 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under entire existing project is about 77 percent complete. Work under active portion of existing project was commenced June 1919 and completed in 1923. A chan- nel 12 feet deep at low lake level and least width of 150 feet has been excavated throughout length of improvement, except at Elbow, where width is 110 feet. Fender booms have been placed at Elbow (Putts Leap and Putts Rock) and opposite Delaware & Hudson railroad trestle. No fender booms appear to be needed at the narrows near Dresden, Pulpit Point, and Cedar Mountain.

BURLINGTON HARBOR, VT. Location. About 100 acres in extent, is in a half-moon-shaped in- dentation in eastern shore of Lake Champlain, about 40 statute miles south of international boundary line, 70 statute miles north of southern end or head of lake, and 20 statute miles southeast of harbor at Platts- burg, N.Y. (See U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 172.) Existing project. Provides for a breakwater 6,000 feet long about 1,000 feet from shore and practically parallel with it, to be built of stone-filled timber cribs capped with large stone or concrete. Com- pleted breakwater is to be in two sections, northerly 500 feet being separated from southerly 5,500 feet by a gap 200 feet wide for purpose of safety in entering harbor during storms. Reference plane of low lake level is 93 feet above mean sea level. Level of lake has varied from 0.6 foot below up to 8.8 feet above low lake level. Usual annual variation is 5.8 feet.

Terminal facilities. Consist of bulkhead shore front and open pile and solid filled piers having a total dockage of 6,520 feet. Of the terminals, 5 wharves, 2 piers, and 1 ferry slip are in use. Five termi- nals have railroad connections. Facilities are considered adequate for present needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for rehabilitation of breakwater, work commenced July 24, 1962, and was 180 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 still in progress at end of fiscal year. During the fiscal year 38,687 tons of stone were placed at a total cost of $363,232 including $15,967 for engineering preliminary to repairs for rehabilitation. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was practically complete in 1890; part of breakwater originally proposed was not built, work completed being considered sufficient for needs of naviga- tion. Breakwater has been built in two sections, 364 and 3,793 feet long, respectively, separated by a gap of 200 feet. Sections of stone and concrete superstructure of breakwater have been displaced by wave action and failure of timbers in tops of wooden cribs. Con- trolling depth in August 1948 was about 10 feet at low lake level at wharves, increasing considerably toward breakwater. Distinction between new work and maintenance was not made in early reports, hence it is impossible to separate costs prior to July 1, 1886. Total cost of existing project to June 30, 1963, was $1,411,515.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - -NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 195 26. SUPERVISION OF NEW YORK HARBOR Laws enacted for preservation of tidal waters of New York Harbor, its adjacent or tributary waters, and waters of Long Island Sound are administered by the Supervisor of New York Harbor. The Su- pervisor is charged under Federal laws and statutes with the mission of preventing obstructive or injurious deposits in waters under his jurisdiction, and prevention of anchorage in entrance channels of the Harbor to promote safe navigation of deep-draft vessels. Authority vested in the Supervisor of New York Harbor by section 3, Act of June 29, 1888, as amended, authorizes all personnel appointed by him to enforce provisions of the following Federal laws and statutes: Act of June 29, 1888 (25 Stat. 209), as amended by section 3, River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360), section 8, 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, River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (28 Stat. 360), as amended August 28, 1958 (72 Stat. 970) ; act of March 3, 1899 (Refuse Act, 30 Stat. 1152); act of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 43 Stat. 604), and act of August 30, 1961 (Oil Pollution Act, 75 Stat. 402). Territory under jurisdiction of the Supervisor of New York Harbor includes Atlantic Ocean front circumscribed as follows: Manasquan Inlet, N.J., to the south; Fire Island Inlet, N.Y., to the east; New Lon- don, Conn., to the northeast; Troy, N.Y., to the north and Raritan River to New Brunswick, N.J., to the west. Area encompasses ap- proximately 700 miles of waterways, 1,600 miles of waterfront and 1,500 square miles of water surface area. Five patrol boats are uti- lized to accomplish waterways inspection. Two boats maintain 24- hour, 7-day weekly patrols; one south of the Narrows and the other in Long Island Sound; for purpose of inspecting vessels carrying dredged and other types of waste material and inspecting disposal of these materials at established dumping grounds. These boats per- form collateral patrolling of entrance channels and are responsible for keeping channels clear of interference by fishing craft with deep- draft vessels entering or leaving harbor. Inspections of shorefront facilities, such as industrial plants, oil refineries, and shipyards are conducted by means of personnel in U.S. Government vehicles to determine disposition of objectionable waste materials, i.e., oil, sludge, acid, and debris to assure these wastes are not being discharged into tidal waters of harbor. Total cost of all work for this fiscal year, including cost of operating vessels and cars, was $393,887. 196 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Statement of activities Fiscal year.. .... ..----------------------- 1960 1961 1962 1963 Total inspections..--___---------------- 9,444 8,776 11,112 14,070 Shore patrol....------------------------------ 6,244 5,046 3, 945 4, 702 Water patrol------------------------------------- 3,200 3,730 7,167 9,374 Total investigations..------- ---------------- 25 273 26 627 Oil pollution--------------------------------------- 12 22 89 91 Debris -- --------------------------------- 9 14 70 303 Piers------------------------------.............. 4 *161 11 3 Interference with navigation__-------------- 0 76 95 36 Other=_-- -- ----------------------------- 0 0 0 94 Disposition of investigations: (a) Total letters of warning issued- .------------- 18 250 01 3568 Oil pollution----------------------------- 4 7 45 41 Debris----------------------------------------- 5 7 51 221 Piers.------------------------------------------- 4 *160 10 2 Interference with navigation_--------------- 0 76 95 30 Other _--- ------------------------------ 0 0 0 64 (b) Total cases forwarded to U.S. Attorney..------_ 12 23 64 86 Oil pollution--------------------- 8 15 44 36 Debris_.--------------------------------------- 4 7 19 32 Piers------------------------------------------- 0 1 1 0 Interference with navigation -------------- 0 0 0 0 Other----------------------------------------- 0 0 0 18 (c) Total unfounded cases---------------------- 0 0 0 83 Oil pollution----------------------------------- 0 0 0 14 Debris---------------------------------------- 0 0 0 50 Piers------------------------------------------ 0 0 0 1 Interference with navigation------------------- 0 0 0 6 Other---------------------------------------- 0 0 0 12 Total fines collected ----- $5.500 $5, 250 $6, 950 $12, 535 Total permits processed:------------------- 2,366 1,166 1,164 878 Towing---------------------------------- 156 178 223 105 Dumping_-------------------------------- 2,210 988 941 773 Total amounts (in cubic yards) of injurious material deposited in designated dumping areas under super- vision of Supervisor of New York Harbor .... ... 32, 111, 287 31,293, 556 36, 871, 524 29, 460, 040 Notices, handouts, and leaflets distributed to yacht clubs, marinas, and general public......---------- 10,000 12,860 12,150 8, 500 *Result of extensive survey of all piers in New York Harbor.

Cost apportionment prescribed by (c) above was revised by 1962 River and Harbor Act (Public Law 874, 87th Cong.) pertinent to beach erosion control benefits, resulting non-Federal share being 33.6 percent of estimated project cost exclusive of $57,000 Federal reimbursement. Agency responsible for local cooperation is the State of New Jersey. Assurances executed by the State of New Jersey were ac- cepted for the United States by the District Engineer on April 11, 1963. Operations and results during fiscal year. Initial construction funds were appropriated in October 1962. Engineering and design was initiated in November 1962. Aerial surveys of project area were made by contract, and hydrographic surveys were accomplished by hired labor. At request of local interests, Matawan Township im- 214 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 provement was combined with that of Madison Township, into one proposed contract. Design studies, and plans and specifications, for this portion of the project were initiated. During the fiscal year, project cost estimate was revised to reflect cost sharing provisions of River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, which modified Federal participation to extent of one-half of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature, in lieu of one-third pre- viously authorized by Public Law 727, 79th Congress. New pro- visions, resulted in increase in Federal participation from about 64.8 percent as originally contemplated, to about 66.4 percent of estimated project cost exclusive of reimbursable completed work at Keansburg. Costs, all Federal, were $79,706 for engineering and design, and $6,680 for supervision and administration, a total of $86,386 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Engineering and design of existing project commenced November 1962, and is about 38 percent complete. Design studies and contract plans and specifications for Madison- Matawan portion of project were 90 percent complete at end of fiscal year. Completion of engineering and design and construction of the improvements for the entire project remain. Total costs of existing project to June 30, 1963, all Federal, were $86,386 for new work.

During the fiscal year, under advance preparation for flood emergencies, costs incurred for revision and updating annexes and appendices to engineer manual "Emergency Employment of Army Resources-Domestic Operations" were $4,553. District flood emergency organization was alerted during March 1963 as a result of an ice jam on Missisquoi River at Richford, Vt. Comparatively small damages, estimated at $10,000, were sustained in the area, minimized by substantially completed small Federal flood- control project at site. Collection of data on tidal flooding and subse- quent damages of storm of March 6-7, 1962 continued during fiscal year by both contract and hired labor. Post flood report of March 1962 storm was completed February 20, 1963. Costs for flood fighting and rescue operations were $28,543, of which $28,469 were for post flood reports. Total costs for fiscal year for emergency flood control activities were $33,096, all for maintenance. 43. STATEN ISLAND RAPID TRANSIT RAILWAY COMPANY BRIDGE ACROSS ARTHUR KILL, N.Y. Location. Crosses Arthur Kill, New York and New Jersey Chan- nels 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. Provides for construction of a new railroad bridge to replace single track swing bridge completed in 1888. Center pier and fender system of existing bridge result in inadequate hori- zontal clearances which present a serious obstruction and hazard to navigation. New bridge will provide a vertical lift span with vertical clearances of 135 feet above mean high water in open position and 31 feet above mean high water in closed position. New bridge will elimi- nate existing center pier and leave a clear and unobstructed channel 500 feet wide. Center of new span is to be about 158 feet east of center of existing bridge. Notice to alter existing bridge was signed by Secretary of the Army on July 5, 1949, as authorized by Truman-Hobbs Act. of.June 21, 1940, as amended. Estimated Federal share of cost of new work is $7,995,000 (July 1963). Estimated cost to local interests is $1,635,000. ALTERATION ,OF BRIDGES-NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 217 Local cooperation. Truman-Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940, provides that, upon notice to alter by the Secretary of War, bridge owners shall: (a) Prepare and submit to the Secretary for approval, plans and specifications for alteration of bridge; (b) take bids for alteration of bridge in accordance with approved plans; submit all bids to Secre- tary together with a recommendation as to most competent bid; sub- mit a written guaranty that total cost of project will not exceed a stated sum; and upon authorization by the Secretary, proceed with work of alteration; (c) bear such part of the cost as determined by the Secretary to be attributable to direct and special benefits which will accrue to bridge owners as a result of alteration, including expectable savings in repair or maintenance costs; and that part of cost attrib- utable to requirements of traffic by railroad or highway, or both, including any expenditure for increased carrying capacity of bridge, and including such proportion of actual capital cost of old bridge or of such part of old bridge as may be altered, changed, or rebuilt, as used service life of whole or a part, as case may be, bears to total esti- mated service life of whole or such part. In complying with provision of Truman-Hobbs Act, bridge owners have retained consulting engineers, completed necessary foundation investigations, and prepared plans and specifications for alteration of bridge which have been approved by Secretary of the Army; taken bids for construction of substructure and approaches in accordance with approved plans and specifications; submitted all bids to Secretary together with a recommendation as to most competent bid; submitted a written guaranty that total cost of project will not exceed a stated sum; and, upon authorization by the Secretary, have awarded a con- tract for construction of substructure and approaches; accepted an apportionment of cost prepared by Chief of Engineers and approved by Secretary of the Army; agreed to proceed with reconstruction of bridge on an annual appropriation basis; and donated land required for necessary widening of bend in Arthur Kill at railway bridge. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Work under final contract involving completion of remaining work initiated under terminated contract No. 3, for construction of fender system for new bridge, was completed in August and final payment to contractor was made in September 1962. Administrative review of billings for track and signal work by railway company forces continued and minor financial credits to Government accounts were affected. Federal cost of work for fiscal year was $53,193. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was operationally com- pleted, first train crossed new bridge on August 25, 1959. Construc- tion under contract No. 1 for substructure was completed August 1958. Construction under contract No. 2 for superstructure was completed December 1959. Work under terminated contract No. 3 and subse- quent new contract, for demolition of structures and construction of fender system was completed in August 1962. Work remaining con- sists of completion of minor track and signal work by railway company forces, resolution of final payments and credits, and preparation of final engineering reports. Total Federal cost of project to June 30, 1963, was $7,836,592 for new work. 218 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Cost and financial statement Fiscal year. ......... 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 Total to June 30, 1963 New work: Appropriated.----------. $2,410,000 $1, 785,000 $7,995,000 _---------- Cost---------------...... 4,680, 788 1,327,151 $85,518 $165,429 $53,193 7, 836, 592 Other new work data: Unobligated balance for year ending June 30, 1963_.--------------------------------- $4, 409 Unobligated balances available for year ending June 30, 1964---------------------------- 4,409 44. FIRE ISLAND INLET, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. Location. Area included under this project comprises Atlantic Coast of Long Island, N.Y., between Fire Island Inlet and Jones Inlet, a distance of about 15 miles. Fire Island Inlet is on 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 on south shore of Long Island, about 37 miles by water south and east of the Battery, New York City, and connects Hemp- stead Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 578 and 579.) Existing project. Provides for Federal participation in restoration and protection of shore from Fire Island to Jones Inlets by dredging inlet shoal in Fire Island Inlet and construction of a sand dike to relieve pressure of tidal currents against Oak Beach, to provide a deposition area for littoral drift, and to obtain fill material for a feeder beach and Oak Beach. Authorization initially provided for three dredging operations over a period of 10 years but was reduced to two, based on subsequently authorized project modification for sand bypassing facilities and on limited reduction of channel maintenance costs of navigation project. For first increment, based on cost sharing provisions of Public Law 727, 79th Congress, pertinent to beach erosion control benefits, Federal participation is authorized to extent of one-third of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature and entire cost allocated to navigation feature, a total of 42 percent for first increment. In accordance with authorizing document, Federal shares of subsequent increments would be based on the then current estimates of maintenance costs which can be justified for navigation project and experience with maintenance requirements. Based on provisions of River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, enacted subsequent to completion of first increment, which modified Federal participation to extent of one-half of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature, and on deletion of naviga- tion benefits based on maintenance experience, Federal share of second increment was evaluated at 67.9 percent. Project also provides for sand bypassing facilities for which plans are currently under preparation, subject to approval of such plans by Secretary of the Army and the President. Mean range of tide is 4.1 feet. Estimated Federal cost of new work, exclusive of estimated cost of work authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1962, is $2,687,000 (July 1963). Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of SHORE PROTECTION---NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 219 July 3, 1958 (H.Doc. 411, 84th Cong., 2d sess.), and modified by River and Harbor Act of October 23,1962. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958, provides local interests obtain approval by Chief of Engineers, prior to com- mencement of work on any feature of project, of detailed plans and specifications and arrangements for prosecuting work on that feature; provide all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way; hold the United States free from damages; assure that water pollution that would endanger health of bathers will not be permitted; assure main- tenance of recommended project during its useful life, as may be re- quired to insure realization of anticipated benefits; and assure con- tinued public ownership of the shore and its administration for public use during economic life of project. Long Island State Park Commission of State of New York, which is the cooperating agency, has entered into an agreement with United States dated August 21, 1958, as modified November 18, 1959, and February 1, 1962, in which the agency adopted plan of improvement for beach erosion control authorized by Congress and agreed to furnish its share of cost, and comply with all other requirements of local cooperation. By letter dated October 7, 1958, cooperating agency requested United States to undertake and supervise construction of first increment of work. First modification to agreement enabled construction by Federal Government of a sand closure across gorge channel which was completed in 1960 at a cost of $364,000 from funds furnished by cooperating agency (contributed funds--other). Second modification enabled delineation of sand closure as a part of authorized project in accordance with Public Works Appropriation Act, 1962, approved September 30, 1961, which included $152,880 (42 percent of $364,000) specifically for repayment of Federal share of cost. Neces- sary adjustments of financial records to reflect revised allocation of costs was completed during fiscal year 1962, and return of unused contributed funds, surplus to needs of first increment, was made May 17, 1962. Total estimated cost of local cooperation to be provided by local interests, exclusive of estimated cost of work authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1962, is $2,291,000 (July 1963). Operations and results during fiscal year. On May 16, 1963, Jones Beach State Parkway Authority contributed funds of $8,000 for prep- aration of contract plans and specifications for second increment. Plans and specifications initiated in May 1963 were in progress at end of fiscal year. Costs, all required contributed funds, were $1,490 for engineering and design, and $140 for supervision and administration, a total of $1,630 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. First dredging operation is com- plete at a cost of $1,124,826, exclusive of $1,563,331 required contributed funds. At end of fiscal year, contract plans and specifications for second dredging operation were about 20 percent complete. Comple- tion of plans, specifications, and construction of second increment and sand bypassing facilities remain. Total cost of existing project to June 30, 1963, was $1,124,826, exclusive of: $1,554,961 required contrib- uted funds, all for new work. 220 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Cost and financial statement FEDERAL FUNDS Other new work data: Appropriated for year ending June 30, 1964.... ______ __ __---------------------------------------$450, 000 Unobligated balances available for year ending June 30, 1964. -------------------------- 450, 000 Estimated additional amount needed to complete project-_ ----------------------- 1, 112, 000 CONTRIBUTED FUNDS-REQUIRED Fiscal year ----------------- 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 Total to June 30, 19631 New work: Contributed ----------. $1,371, 500 $211,120 $8.000 $1,590, 620 Cost ------------------- 48, 437 $1, 293, 774 240, 409 1, 630 1, 584, 250 Other new work data: Unobligated balance for year ending June 30, 1963 ----------------------------------- $6, 370 Appropriated for year ending June 30, 1964. -------------------------------------- 205, 000 Unobligated balances available for year ending June 30, 1964_ 211,370 Estimated additional amount needed to complete project ---------------------- ------ 525, 000 1Includes $29, 289 returned to local interests in fiscal year 1962.

Project also provides for an auxiliary channel 20 feet deep and 200 feet wide east of Burlington Island, ex- tending easterly from main channel to upper end of the U.S. Pipe and Foundary Co.'s property at East Burlington, with a turning basin 450 feet wide at upper end; for initial excavation, only, of a cross channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide through artificial island opposite Delanco, N.J., and for constructing such bank protection works as may be necessary. Total length of section included in project is about 301/2 miles, excluding auxiliary channel east of Burlington Island, which is 1.4 miles long, and cross channel opposite Delanco. Lower end is about 55 miles above river mouth at Liston Point and about 105 miles above harbor of refuge at mouth of Delaware Bay. All depths refer to plane of mean low water. Mean tidal range at Trenton is 6.7 feet, an increase of 1.3 feet since completion of 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 vicinity of Trenton. Navigation is occasionally suspended during a portion of winter months due to ice. Estimated cost for new work is $75,540,000 (July 1962) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and $15,000 contributed funds. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $319,943.

POTOMAC RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES AT AND BELOW WASHINGTON, D.C., ELIMINATION OF WATERCHESTNUT Location. The waterchestnut, botanically known as Trapa natans, is an annual fresh water plant infesting navigable portions of Potomac River and its tributaries between Key Bridge in District of Columbia and Maryland Point, 48 miles downstream of Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., is 108 miles upstream of mouth of river. At height of infestation in 1939, it covered about 10,000 acres of navigable waters between these limits. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 559 and 560.) Existing project. Provides a plan for complete eradication of waterchestnut from Potomac River and its tributaries at and below Washington, D.C., by: (a) 4 years of mechanical cutting in heavily infested areas with manual removal of scattered plants; (b) 3 years of intensive patrol and manual removal of scattered plants; (c) 2 years of concentrated patrol during growing season; (d) 6 years of patrolling entire area every 2 years. Tidal ranges are: Mean, 1.1 feet at Maryland Point and 2.9 feet at Washington; irregular, 2 feet RIVERS AND HARBORS - BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 295 at Maryland Point and 4.5 feet at Washington; extreme, approxi- mately 7.5 feet at Maryland Point and 10.7 feet at Washington. Estimate of cost to Federal Government, made in 1947, was $142,000, which is total of annual costs over a 15-year period, decreasing from $32,000 during first year to $3,500 for 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, average annual cost for each subsequent year is estimated to be $1,000. Work is maintenance. Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 113, 81st Cong., 1st sess. which contains latest published map). Operations and results during fiscal year. Removal of waterchest- nut growth was in progress during July 1962 and June 1963 in follow- ing areas: Washington Harbor, Potomac River at Alexandria, Va., Potomac River at Mount Vernon, Va., Occoquan Creek, Va., and Po- tomac River below Washington, D.C., by Government plant and hired labor at a total cost for year of $5,504 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work on elimination of water- chestnut has been in progress since 1939 under allotments for main- tenance of five existing river and harbor projects. Prior to adoption of this project and through fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, 25,000 acres of growth has been cut and recut from Potomac River and its tributaries between Washington, D.C., and Maryland Point. All in- fested 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 eradication schedule for existing project were completed under maintenance of other existing river and harbor projects prior to adoption of eradication project. Prior to adoption of project and through fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, maintenance funds of $310,187 were expended for removal of waterchestnut. This amount includes $10,000 allotted under section 3, River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1950, and $10,000 allotted under section 3, River and Harbor Act of October 17, 1940, to 10 tributaries of Potomac River, and following maintenance funds from existing river and harbor projects in 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, $101,162 contributed by U.S. Public Health Service was expended. Total costs for existing project were $143,298, all for maintenance.

(See Annual Report for 1962 foi authorizations.) Public Law 378, 64th Congress, of March 3, 1917; Public Law 119, 69th Congress, of April 14, 1926; and Public Law 118, 80th Congress, of June 26, 1947, authorized supplying water to adjacent Maryland areas, Arlington County, Va., and Falls Church, Va., respectively. For description of District of Columbia water supply system and of previous capital improvement and operation and maintenance projects, see Annual Report for 1930, information pamphlet published June 1939 and revised December 1950, and House Document 480, 79th Con- gress, 2d session. Local cooperation. Prior to July 1, 1880, expenses of Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and maintenance were paid wholly out of revenues of the United States. From July 1, 1880, to June 30, 1882, expenses of operation and maintenance were paid one- half by the United States and the other half out of general revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1882, to June 30, 1898, one-half of construction 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, expenses of construction, operation, and maintenance were paid one-half from surplus general revenues of the District of Columbia and the other half from the U.S. Treasury. From July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1927, expenses of construction were paid 60 percent out of general revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. From July 1, 1927, to date, all expenses for construc- tion have been paid out of water revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1916, to date, expenses of operation and maintenance have been paid wholly out of water revenues of the District of Columbia. From April, 1953, to June 30, 1963, $21,250,000 was bor- rowed from the U.S. Treasury, in installments, to finance expansion and improvement of the District of Columbia water system as author- MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES---BALTIMORE, MD.) DISTRICT 331 ized by Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, of June 2, 1950, as amended by Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, of May 18, 1954. Public Law 280, 66th Congress, 2d session, of June 10, 1920, appro- priated $25,000 wholly from United States revenues to prepare, among other things, a report to assure an increased and adequate water supply for the District of Columbia. The report was the basis for im- provements constructed from 1922 to 1927. Included in District of Columbia appropriation acts of 1941 and 1942, $40,000 was appropri- ated from the water fund, District of Columbia, for preparation of a report "for the development of a plan to insure an adequate future water supply for the District of Columbia." House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session, contains comprehensive plan and program for 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 contributed to the support of the District of Columbia but, prior to July 1, 1947, no part of such annual percentage or lump sum contribution has been allocated to the water fund, District of Columbia. From fiscal year 1948 through June 30, 1954, pursuant to Public Law 195, 80th Congress, 1st session, an annual $1 million was au- thorized for water consumed by the Federal Government. Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, provided payment by the U.S. Government for all water and water services furnished, and increased authority for borrowing. Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, authorized the Secretary of Treasury to lend, with a limit of $23 million, to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia such sums as may hereafter be appropri- ated to finance expansion and improvement of the water system when sufficient funds therefor are not available from the District of Co- lumbia Water Fund established by law (D.C. code 1940 edition, title 1943, ch 15.) Above public law was amended by Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, by striking "23,000,000" and inserting in lieu thereof "35,000,000." Operations and results during fiscal year. An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished the District of Co- lumbia; Arlington County, and Falls Church, Va.; and Federal estab- lishments in Arlington County, Va., and Montgomery and Prince Georges County, Md. Total consumption for the year was 60,494,015,- 000 gallons; the maximum daily consumption was 238,054,000 gallons and average daily consumption was 165,737,000 gallons. Based upon estimated average number of consumers of 880,000 in the District of Columbia and 220,000 in Arlington County, average per capita daily consumption was 151 gallons. Average daily consumption in the Dis- trict of Columbia alone was 140,606,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 160 gallons. Average daily amount of water furnished to Arlington County and Falls Church, Va., was 25,131,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 114 gallons. Gross cost of $991,388 for supply of water furnished Virginia communities was reimbursed to the Water Fund, D.C. Average daily consumption of water in all Federal Government establishments in- cluding parks, zoological garden, etc., was 31,843,775 gallons. A total 332 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 of 83,373,000 gallons or an average of 229,000 gallons per day was de- livered to Maryland communities during the fiscal year 1963 by the Water Division, D.C., through connections to Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission's system. On June 23, 1952, fluoridation equipment was put in service and application of sodium silicofluoride started and was continued throughout fiscal year 1963. Average turbidity of raw water from the Potomac River was re- duced from 56 to 0.0 units. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 134,020 tubes of water taken from 124 sampling points in collection, purification, and distribution systems. After sterilization of filter effluent, average most probable number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was found to be .002 at Dalecarlia and .03 at the McMillan filter plant. Average calcium carbonate alkalinity of filtered water was 68 parts per million and the average pH value was 7.9 from Dalecarha filter plant, and 66 and 7.9, respectively, from McMillan filter plant. Average hardness was 119 parts per million from Dale- carlia and 117 parts per million from McMillan. Fluorine content of 3,897 water samples was determined. In fiscal year 1963, direct operating cost of water treated and de- livered to the system per million gallons was $45.98 as compared with $44 per million gallons in fiscal year 1962.

Control. All funds were expended in conformity with legislative provision contained in the annual appropriation act which is as follows: "Nothing herein shall be construed as affecting the superintendence and con- trol of the Secretary of the Army over the Washington Aqueduct, its rights, ap- purtenances, and fixtures connected with the same, and over appropriations and expenditures therefore as now provided by law." Condition at end of fiscal year. Intakes, conduits, reservoirs, filter plants, pumping stations, mechanical equipment, and structures were in good condition generally. However, during the fiscal year, the pro- gram for deep cleaning was continued at McMillan filtration plant in order to restore filters to a more dependable capacity. Six of the 29 MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES-BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 333 filter beds were deep cleaned during the year and it is planned to con- tinue this program until all filters are restored to provide a sustained rate sufficient to meet requirements of the system. During maximum demand periods in 1963, Little Falls raw water pumping station was operated to augment raw water supply of gravity-flow conduits. Con- struction of new Dalecarlia filter and chemical buildings by contract continued and work is scheduled to be completed in fall of 1963. Construction work authorized with "no year" funds not previously reported as completed was as follows: New Dalecarlia filter and chem- ical buildings 85.6 percent; modification to provide quality control of filtered water 56.4 percent; conduit repairs (periodic). 100 percent; Little Falls pumping station dam and tunnel 99 percent; Little Falls fishways 100 percent; and utility relocations and system interconnec- tions 67 percent. Preparation of plans for capital outlay projects for increasing water supply, not previously reported as completed, progressed as follows: New chemical building and operating center at McMillan 90 percent; Flocculation and Sedimentation Basin No. 3, 98 percent; Great Falls intake structure 13 percent; conduit repair (periodic) 100 percent.

Between barrier beach along Atlantic Ocean on the east and Virginia portion of mainland peninsula on the west. It extends from south end of Chincoteague Bay through a number of creeks, thoroughfares and bays, to enter Chesapeake Bay in vicinity of Fisher- man Inlet, just south of Cape Charles, the southern tip of the penin- 335 336 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 sula, for 83.7 miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts, Nos. 1220, 1221, and 1222.) Existing project. Provides for an inland waterway 6 feet deep and 60 feet wide from Chesapeake Bay to Chincoteague Bay, Va. Mean range of tide is about 3 feet. Greater fluctuations in water level are caused by high winds and storms. Federal cost of new work for com- pleted project was $850,498. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $126,929. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 957, 60th Cong., 1st sess.), and modified by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. 268, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). Latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. Fully complied with except local interests are to furnish spoil-disposal areas as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. Larger towns in area adjacent to route of desired improvement have fairly substantial pile-and-timber wharves which are used primarily by boats engaged in seafood business. There are also a number of small landings scattered along the shore between towns. Pennsylvania Railroad owns and operates a water terminal at Franklin City. There are also wharves at various Coast Guard sta- tions in the area. All wharves are privately owned, but open to the public for transaction of business with the owners. No mechanical freight-handling facilities are available. Terminals are adequate for existing commerce. A material increase in commerce which would follow proposed improvement makes desirable but not essential the erection of adequate terminals at Chincoteague, Wachapreague, Willis Wharf, and Oyster. Adequate public facilities are available at Ocean City. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging, under one contract, from Goulds Marsh flats to Burtons Bay, in Goulds Marsh flats, Sloop Channel, Swash Bay, Front Creek, Bradford Bay, Burtons Bay, and North Channel, was commenced September 14, 1962, and continued intermittently to February 20, 1963, when work was completed. There were removed 534,477 cubic yards of material, place measurement. Work cost was $209,355. Maintenance dredging, by contract, in Metomkin Bay, was com- menced November 18, 1962, and continued to February 1, 1963, when work was completed. There were removed 520,060 cubic yards of material, place measurement. Work cost $147,246. Maintenance condition and operation studies, with Government plant and hired labor, were accomplished during the year for $26,234. Maintenance engineering and design for work done during the fiscal year and work proposed for next fiscal year, with Government plant and hired labor, was accomplished during the year for $12,086. A contract was awarded for dredging to be accomplished in fiscal year 1964. Maintenance supervision and administration, consisting of inspec- tion and supervision, surveys and layouts, and District overhead, was $42,757 during the fiscal year. Total cost of work for the fiscal year was $437,678, all for mainte- nance. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT 337 Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is complete.

Supervision was exercised by means of two patrol vessels for 24 boat-months and 31 man-months of shore patrol and inspection. Com- mercial airplanes were utilized to patrol offshore from beaches along Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay especially during beach resort seasoni. Patrols were maintained to detect illegal deposit into naviga- ble waters of waste oil, sludge, refuse, and other types of debris from vessels and shore installations. An intensive educational program was continued with a view to preventing violations of applicable Federal Acts. This program was effected through press releases, public talks, public notices, and per- sonal interviews with interested agencies, committees, and private industries. Circular letters were forwarded to fuel oil firms, railroad companies, shipping companies and agencies, enlisting their support in the antipollution campaign. Agreements were reached with various Federal, State and local agencies having related or similar responsibilities and functions to obtain maximum results with minimum costs by eliminating of dupli- cation of effort. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year, including cost of operating patrol vessels and cars, airplane rental, inspections, and work of the office for supervision of Harbor of Hampton Roads to June 30, 1963, was $154,756.

GATHRIGHT RESERVOIR AND FALLING SPRING REREGULATING DAM, JAMES RIVER BASIN, VA. Location. Sites of proposed Gathright and Falling Spring Dams are on Jackson River, a tributary of James River, at miles 43.4 and 35.1, respectively. Gathright Dam site is in reach of Jackson River known as the Gorge, about 19 miles upstream from Covington, Va. Falling Spring Dam site is about 11 miles upstream from Covington and 1 mile south of community of Falling Spring, Va. Both dam- sites are in Alleghany County. At the elevation of the top of gates, Gathright Reservoir will extend upstream about 15 miles. (See Fall- ing Spring and Mountain Grove, Va.-W. Va., quadrangles of U.S. Geological Survey.) Existing project. Project provides for construction of Gathright Dam and Falling Spring Reregulating Dam on Jackson River. Gath- right Dam will be a rockfill dam with impervious earth core having a maximum height of 248 feet above streambed and a crest length of 800 feet with a gated side-channel concrete spillway. At elevation of the top of gates, dam will provide a total storage capacity of 417,000 acre-feet, of which 110,000 acre-feet will be flood storage; 264,000 acre-feet, power drawdown; and 43,000 acre-feet, dead storage. Powerplant will have an installed capacity of 34,000 kilowatts. Vari- able flow from this power installation will be reregulated by Falling Spring Dam, which will be a low, gravity-type, concrete structure, with an earth embankment at right abutment. Falling Spring Dam will have a maximum height of 64 feet and a crest length of 850 feet, of which 640 feet will be concrete and 210 feet will be earthfill. Stor- age at spillway crest elevation will be 4,700 acre-feet, of which 4,000 acre-feet will be available for streamflow regulation. Estimated Federal cost for project, including both dams and reser- voirs, revised in 1957, is $28,800,000 for construction and $3 million for lands and damages, including highway, railroad, and utility relocation, a total of $31,800,000 for new work. Project, as set forth in House Document 207, 80th Congress, 1st session, was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946. Latest published map is in project document. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance engineering and design was resumed in November 1962 and continued to end of fiscal year. Reports were requested from other Federal agencies as to bene- fits that may be attributable to pollution abatement, hydroelectric power potential, fishery and wildlife, and recreation. Cost of work was $5,473, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Advanced planning on project pre- viously suspended due to marginal economics of project was resumed during the year. Approximately 10 percent of all planning for project is complete. Total cost of existing project to June 30, 1963 was $106,473, all for new work.

Rises on eastern slope of Blue Ridge Mountains in west- ern North Carolina, flows generally easterly 100 miles to vicinity of Donnaha, N.C., thence southeasterly 104 miles to its confluence with Uwharrie River near Badin, N.C., where its name changes to Great Pee Dee River. (See U.S. Geological Survey map of North Caro- lina.) Existing project. Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946, authorized construction of four flood-control dams in upper Yadkin River Basin, two on Yadkin River above Wilkesboro, N.C., and two on Reddies River, a tributary stream. Studies made subsequent to authorizing act established economic advantage of providing needed flood-control storage in two reservoirs, one on the Reddies and one on the Yadkin, rather than in four reservoirs as originally planned. Present plan- ning considers only two-reservoir plan. Estimated cost for Yadkin River reservoir (W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir) was revised in 1963 and for Reddies River reservoir in 1957.

An individual report on W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir follows. 10. W. KERR SCOTT DAM AND RESERVOIR, YADKIN RIVER, N.C. Location. W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir is on the Yadkin River, N.C., about 6 miles upstream from Wilkesboro, N.C. At full flood-control pool elevation (1,075 feet mean sea level), the reservoir will extend 15.7 miles upstream to Wilkes-Caldwell County line. Existing project. Impounding of the reservoir to normal pool level (1,030 feet mean sea level) was effected in January 1963. This project consists of a rolled earthfill dam 1,740 feet long, with crest at elevation 1,107.5 feet mean sea level, or about 148 feet above streambed eleva- tion; a spillway near north abutment of dam is in a rock cut with crest elevation of 1075; and outlet works consisting of intake struc- ture, control tower, and circular concrete conduit 12.25 feet in diam- eter through base of dam near south abutment. Reservoir has a gross capacity of 153,000 acre-feet, of which 112,000 acre-feet are reserved for flood control, 33,000 acre-feet will be used for water supply and conservation with 8,000 acre-feet being contained in minimum pool. FLOOD CONTROL-CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT 413 Estimated cost for new work, revised in June 1963, is $7,570,000, of which $5,018,000 is for construction and design, and $2,552,000 for lands and relocations. Average annual cost of operation and mainte- nance is estimated at $150,000. Local cooperation. None required except for including 33,000 acre- feet of reservoir for water supply which will be paid by Wilkes County, N.C. and the city of Winston-Salem, N.C., in accordance with provisions of Water Supply Act of 1958. A contract with local spon- sors for payment of project costs allocated to water supply was ap- proved by the Secretary of the Army on June 30, 1960. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of dam, outlet works, access roads, and recreational facilities were completed during the fiscal year. All lands, except for possible acquisition of additional public use and recreation areas, were procured but final settlement is incomplete pending court action on a number of tracts. Flood damages prevented are estimated at $10,000. The project was opened to the public on June 1, 1963, and during the first month there were approximately 75,000 visitors to the dam and recreational fa- cilities. Construction costs for access roads and recreational facilities were $222,511. Operation and maintenance of project facilities, supervision and administration incidental thereto cost $18,358. Total cost for year was $970,180, of which $951,822 was from new construction funds and $18,358 from operation and maintenance, general funds Condition at end of fiscal year. Major construction items were completed. Work remaining involves construction of administration and utility building, operating personnel quarters, real estate de- ficiency judgments, additional reservoir clearing, and recreational fa- cilities. Project, started in August 1960, was placed in operation for flood control and water storage purposes in February 1963. Total costs of existing project to June 30, 1963, were $7,274,398, of which $7,256,040 was for new work and $18,358 for operation and maintenance. Accelerated public works funds of $150,000 were allocated for con- struction of additional recreational facilities and access roads at W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir, N.C. Completion of these projects is scheduled for first quarter of fiscal year 1964.

SURVEY REPORTS Total cost during fiscal year 1963 was $49,637, of which $28,157 was for navigation studies, $15,169 for flood control studies, $3,696 for hurricane studies, $1,672 for beach erosion studies and $943 for water- shed studies in coordination with U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Unobligated balance of $62,818 will be applied toward completion of studies in progress. It is estimated that an additional allotment of $345,000 could also be profitably expended during fiscal year 1964 on navigation studies. 13. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA Costs during the fiscal year were $3,699 for flood-plain information studies. Unexpended balance of $23,127 will be applied in fiscal year 1964 toward completion of studies in progress for Winston-Salem and Lexington, N.C. It is estimated an additional allotment of $2,000 could also be profitably expended for miscellaneous services.

ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BETWEEN NORFOLK, VA., AND ST. JOHNS RIVER, FLA. (SAVANNAH DIST.) Location. This 165 mile section of waterway connects Port Royal Sound, S.C., with Fernandina, Fla. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 838-841, inclusive.) Previous projects (between Savannah, Ga., and Fernandina, Fla.). Projects were authorized by River and Harbor Acts of 1882, 1888, 1892, and 1905. For further details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. Provides for a waterway 12 feet deep at mean low water and not less than 90 feet wide between Port Royal Sound, S.C., and Savannah, Ga.; 12 feet deep at mean low water, with widths of 90 feet in landcuts and narrow streams and 150 feet in open waters, between Savannah, Ga., and Fernandina, Fla.; and for a suitable anchorage basin at Thunderbolt, Ga. 415 416 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Mean tidal range between Port Royal, S.C., and Fernandina, Fla., is from 6 to 8 feet, with fluctuations from 11/2 to 21/2 feet, due to winds and lunar phases. Project was completed at a cost of $763,599 for new work, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. Average annual main- tenance cost for past 5 years was $204,635. Existing project was authorized by 14 River and Harbor Acts be- tween 1896 and 1945. In general, current project is covered by au- thorization of River and Harbor Acts of August 26, 1937 (S. com- mittee print, 74th Cong., 1st sess.) and of June 20, 1938 (H. Doc. 618, 75th Cong., 3d sess.). For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Exclusive of adequate terminal facilities at ports of entry, this improvement serves numerous wharves, some of which are open to the public on equal terms. Facilities considered ample for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: In Octo- ber 1962 contract dredge Charleston removed 118,010 cubic yards of material from main route of waterway in Jekyll Creek. Between November 1962 and April 1963 contract dredge Ideal removed 1,278,166 cubic yards of material from main route of waterway at 10 locations between Jekyll Creek and Florida Passage. Between November 1962 and January 1963 contract dredge Cherokee removed 899,561 cubic yards of material from main route of waterway at Elba- McQueens Cut, Wilmington River, and Hell Gate. Total contract costs were $621,712. Routine condition surveys, general supervision, and administration of project cost $11,317. Total cost for mainte- nance was $633,029. Condition at end of fiscal year. Main channel of existing project, completed in 1941, is maintained at 12 feet. Along main route, min- imum depth recorded was 8.4 feet in Walls Cut. Retaining walls and closure dams are in satisfactory condition. Former main channel, now an alternate route through westerly end of South Channel and northerly end of Wilmington River, will be maintained to a depth of 7 feet mean low water for traffic between points north and south of Savannah Harbor. Costs under existing project to June 30, 1963, were $6,122,549, of which $763,599 was for new work and $5,358,950 for maintenance.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 417 2. SAVANNAH HARBOR, GA. Location. Harbor entrance is 75 statute miles south of Charleston Harbor, S.C., and 70 statute miles north of Brunswick Harbor, Ga. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 440.) Previous projects. Projects were authorized by eight River and Harbor Acts between May 1826 and June 1902. For further details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. Provides for channels 36 feet deep and 500 feet wide across ocean-bar, 9.7 miles; 34 feet deep and generally 400 feet wide, increased to 550 feet opposite Atlantic Coast Line terminals, with turning basins 34 feet deep at American Oil Co. refinery and above Georgia Ports Authority terminal, 18.9 miles; 30 feet deep and 200 feet wide to a point 1,500 feet below Atlantic Coastal highway bridge, with turning basins 30 feet deep in vicinity of Atlantic Creo- soting Co. terminal and at upper end of project, 2.45 miles; a total length of 31.05 miles. Mean range of tide is 8.2 feet at upper end of harbor and 7.3 feet at lower end. Extreme ranges are about 10.7 and 11.4 feet, respectively. Project was completed for $9,026,593, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects and preauthorization studies. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $1,357,923. Existing project was authorized by 12 River and Harbor Acts be- tween 1907 and 1954. In general, River and Harbor Acts of July 24, 1946 (H. Doc. 678, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) and September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 110, 83d Cong., 1st sess.) cover project as it exists today. For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide suitable spoil areas for maintenance and hold the United States free from damages. The city of Savannah, Ga., as local assurer, supplied satisfactory spoilage easements for all required spoilage areas specified by "Twenty-five year spoilage plan, Savannah Harbor" and revisions. Terminal facilities. There are 50 piers and wharves to serve water- borne commerce of the port. These facilities, with use of dolphins, have a combined berthing space of 28,404 feet with water depths along- side berths ranging up to 34 feet at mean low water. All have railway and highway connections. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. For further details, see Port Series No. 14, Corps of Engi- neers (revised 1954) and Annual Report for 1962. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Maintenance: U.S. pipe- line dredge Henry Bacon dredged in upper and inner harbor from July to December 1962, and January to May 1963, removing 4,977,412 cubic yards of material for $983,901, less credits of $61,741 from private interests for agitation dredging, resulting in a net cost of $922,160. U.S. hopper dredge Gerig dredged in outer harbor October 1962 to January 1963, removing 1,017,490 cubic yards of material for $343,911. First contract for diking spoil areas below the city of Savannah under dike construction program approved in January 1962 was completed by dredge Ideal. During the year, 15,400 feet of dikes were constructed to an elevation of 12 feet above mean low water for $289,- 442. Plans and specifications were prepared and contract awarded in 418 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 May 1963 for second contract under this program. The cost, including partial mobilization and other government costs, at end of fiscal year was $13,668. Construction of spoil dikes by Government plant drag- line cost $58,578. Dragging and sweeping inner harbor cost $11,392. Dredging ranges constructed by U.S. Coast Guard cost $18,096. To minimize agitation, dredges have been operated with slow cutter speed and adjusted swing speed. Due to lack of instrumentation these studies cannot be fully evaluated except as indicated by long range maintenance conditions. Dredge spoil has been deposited in diked spoil areas requiring pipelines in excess of 10,000 feet. Con- struction of permanent pipelines across Hutchinson Island commenced, which will be connected to diked spoil areas across Back River with recently purchased 24-inch pontoon pipelines. Savannah Harbor model testing program continued which included additional tests of Back River sediment traps and sediment trap-tide gate plan with 38- by 500-foot channel. Back River salinity investi- gations commenced. Cost of model study and prototype investigation for year was $35,901. Routine condition surveys, government super- vision, and administration cost $105,166. Total cost for maintenance was $1,798,314. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is complete. Training walls, jetties, and other structures are in fair condition. Authorized channels are maintained by a planned dredging program with work at critical areas when necessary. Minimum readings from depths authorized were: In 36-foot channel, 34 feet at Tybee Knoll; in 34-foot channel, 30 feet at The Wrecks; in 30-foot channel, 26 feet at Port Wentworth. Costs under existing project to June 30, 1963, were $9,026,593 for new work (excluding $11,200 for preauthorization study), and $34,- 976,514 for maintenance, a total of $44,003,107.

Savannah River is formed by confluence of Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers on northwestern boundary line between South Carolina and Georgia. It flows southeast 314 miles, forming boundary line be- tween the two states, 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. Project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1881. A subdivision between new work and maintenance RIVERS AND HARBORS - SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 419 is not possible. For further details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. Provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 90 feet wide (at ordinary summer flow of 5,800 second-feet at Augusta, Ga.) from upper end of Savannah Harbor to head of navigation at Augusta, 3 miles above Fifth Street Bridge, a total distance of about 199 miles. Improvement is to be obtained by construction of contraction works, closure of cutoffs, bank protection, dredging, removal of snags, over- hanging trees and wrecks, and open-river regulation. Mean tidal variation at mouth of river is 7 feet. Freshet variation above normal pool level (elevation 114.5 mean sea level) of New Savannah Bluff lock and dam at mile 203 is ordinarily about 13 feet with an extreme of 34 feet. Latest approved project cost estimate for providing a 9-foot channel (June 1962) is $6,394,700 (excluding preauthorization study of $17,300) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Rec- reation facilities at New Savannah Bluff lock and dam cost $17,000. Average annual maintenance cost for past 5 years was $82,000. Existing project was authorized by seven River and Harbor Acts between 1890 and 1950 and is generally as authorized by River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950. (S. Doc. 6, 81st Cong., 1st sess.) For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Complied with to date. City Council of Au- gusta, Ga., and Georgia and South Carolina Ports Authorities have agreed to act as local assurer. Terminal facilities. Only water terminals served by this improve- ment are at Augusta and at or near Savannah. Augusta provided a municipal dock valued at $50,000 and Georgia Ports Authority con- structed a State port from local funds costing $400,000. In addition, Pure Oil Co., Texaco, Inc., and Merry Brothers Brick and Tile Co. maintain terminals below Augusta. These are supplemented by natu- ral landings along river and extensive facilities at Savannah. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Pile dikes, revetments, and pile clusters constructed by contract at 63 locations between mile 203 and 27.8 from July through December 1962 cost $283,954. Project mapping cost $25,000. Crane barge No. 2 with towboat Piazsa did snagging in conjunction with 9-foot channel project from July 1962 through March 1963 for $11,309. Recreation facilities constructed from Code 710 funds at New Savannah Bluff lock and dam cost $232. Engineering, design, supervision, and administration cost $24,044, resulting in a total cost for new work of $344,539. Maintenance: Riverflow is regulated by operation of Clark Hill and Hartwell Dams, and has increased from a minimum daily flow of record of 1,105 cubic feet per second before construction of dams to 5,800 cubic feet per second since construction. Crane barge No. 2 with towboat Piasa did 3 months of emergency dredging of critical shoal areas in connection with 9-foot project for $41,413. Dewatering, repairs, and painting of dam gates at New Savannah Bluff lock and dam were completed by contract for $57,023. Operation of lock and dam, routine channel condition surveys, and other Government super- vision and administrative costs were $60,181, resulting in total opera- tion and maintenance costs for project of $158,617. 420 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 99 percent complete. A modification to the project is authorized for additional dredging, repairs, and pile dike and revetment work. Repairs at New Savannah Bluff lock and dam were complete. In general, open-channel works are in fair condition; minor repairs are needed to a few of the structures, which will be accomplished by authorized modification to existing project. Project depth of 9 feet was maintained 45 percent of fiscal year, with a minimum depth of 7 feet recorded at mile 28, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Bridge.

CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA Location. Generally within southeasterly 18 counties of Florida and covers an area of some 16,431 square miles. It is comprised of upper St. Johns River Basin in northeastern section of project, Kis- simmee River Basin in central section, above Lake Okeechobee, Lake Okeechobee-Everglades area in central and southwestern section, and east coast-Everglades area in southeastern section. Previous projects. Completed works for control of Lake Okeechobee were included in and constructed under navigation project for Okeecho- bee Waterway, Fla. (formerly Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okee- chobee drainage areas, Fla.), and under provisions of River and Harbor Acts of July 3, 1930 and August 30, 1935. For further information see Annual Reports for 1948 and 1949. Existing project. For flood relief and water conservation and pro- vides principally for: an east coast protective levee extending from Homestead area north to eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee near St. Lucie Canal; three conservation areas for water impoundment in Everglades area west of east coast protective levee with control structures to effect transfer of water as necessary; local protective works along lower east coast; encirclement of Lake Okeechobee agri- cultural area by levees and canals; enlargement of portions of Miami, North New River, Hillsboro, and West Palm Beach Canals; enlarge- ment of existing Lake Okeechobee levees and construction of new levees on northeast and northwest shores of lake; increased outlet capacity for improved control of Lake Okeechobee; floodway channels in Kissimmee River Basin, with suitable control structures to prevent overdrainage; and facilities for regulation of floods in upper St. Johns River Basin. Project will provide water control and protection from recurrence of devastating floodwaters from the Everglades, and local sources, for highly developed urban area along lower east coast of Florida and for productive agricultural areas around Lake Okeechobee (including towns near the lake), in upper St. Johns and Kissimmee River Basins, and in South Dade County. Project includes a total of 954 miles of levees, 836 miles of canals, 15 pumping plants, and 137 floodway control and diversion structures. Project also provides that upon completion, local interests assume maintenance and operation of all completed works except levees, channels, locks, and control works for regulation of Lake Okeechobee and main control structures of the conservation areas, which will be operated and maintained by the United States. Principal features of hurricane gates constructed under previous projects for Okeechobee Waterway, Fla., and maintained under existing project since July 1, 1950.

Features completed under existing project that are to be main- tained with operation and maintenance funds are levees 48, 49, FLOOD CONTROL--JACKSONVILLE, FLA., DISTRICT 469 and 50-total length of 38 miles-and spillway structures S-10, S-11, and S-12. In addition to actual facilities listed above it is necessary under operation and maintenance to continue meteorological studies, water level records, stream gaging stations, etc., for proper regulation of level of Lake Okeechobee and storage of water in conservation areas 1, 2, and 3. Regulation: (a) Corps of Engineers: Water levels in Lake Okee- chobee, which were about 2 feet below desired stage at start of fiscal year, recovered steadily during summer wet season. However, no regulatory releases were required from the lake this year. Although net water supply to the lake of about 1,225,000 acre-feet was almost 90 percent of normal, almost two-thirds of that came in September. Remainder of year was generally dryer than normal and about 430,000 acre-feet of water was supplied from conservation storage in Lake Okeechobee to maintain stages in project canals and supply irrigation water to over 400,000 acres of farm lands. Conservation Area No. 1 also filled to upper conservation level of 17 feet mean sea level by end of September. About 100,000 acre- feet of water came from this pool to maintain desirable stages in area east of pool. Releases of 120,000 acre-feet were made through structure 10 to Conservation Area No. 2 when Area No. 1 rose above the approved regulation schedule. Conservation Area No. 2 did not reach desired stage until May, when moderate releases were begun through structure 11 to pass water being released from area 1 through to area 3. Conservation Area No. 3 structures along TaIniami Trail and Everglades National Park boundary were completed this year to permit control of this pool. However, since regulation did not begin until after the wet season, the pool never rose to even minimum desirable stage of 9.5 feet and water levels were below ground before end of year. (b) Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District: Com- pleted canals, structures, and pumping stations were operated by Flood Control District to supply water to irrigated areas, maintain desirable water levels in project canals, and prevent salinity problems in coastal areas. During the fiscal year about 660,000 acre-feet of water were pumped from developed areas into Lake Okeechobee and conservation areas. This was about six times more than during previous very dry year. This pumping, plus water released from Lake Okeechobee and conservation areas during dry periods resulted in large benefits throughout agricultural and east coast areas. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was about 36 percent complete. Planning for entire project was begun in November 1948 and has been continued.

Existing project is about 98 per- cent complete. Channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to oppo- site Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is complete. Different sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock Canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep water pool above Tonawanda, in 1913; and Tonawanda section, including turning basin, 1921. Chan- nel was further widened as follows: The triangular area at Lake Erie entrance to canal was completed in 1922 and transferred from Buffalo Harbor project in 1945; Lake Erie section was widened at bend opposite foot of Georgia Street, Buffalo, in 1924; Black Rock Canal section, just south of International Bridge at Buffalo, in 1928, and opposite foot of Maryland Street, Buffalo, in 1930; and Niagara River section in vicinity of westerly end of Rattlesnake Island shoal in 1928. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 21.4 feet were removed from the Lake Erie entrance to canal and in canal south of Ferry Street Bridge, in 1937. Rock shoals extending above a depth of 22 feet were removed from Lake Erie entrance to canal, in Black Rock Canal, and in Niagara River portion of canal in 1948-49. Widening Lake Erie entrance to canal was completed in 1958. Tonawanda Creek Channel was completed in 1902. Tonawanda Inner Harbor Channel was completed in 1904. Enlargement of Tonawanda turning basin and extension of Bird Island pier were completed in 1936. The lock, including wing walls and retaining walls above lock, was completed in 1914, and 100-foot east wing wall extension in 1927. Guide pier connecting with west lower wing wall was completed in 1916, except for 200-foot northerly extension and construction of concrete platform in the angle. Upstream 300 linear feet of lower west guide pier has been repaired during period 1951- 59. Lock-operating houses were completed in 1924. Work remaining to complete project consists of improvement and extension of guide pier as authorized by River and Harbor Act of RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N.Y., DISTRICT 1375 August 30, 1935, which is considered inactive, and deepening lower 1,500 feet of Tonawanda Inner Harbor as authorized by 1954 River and Harbor Act, which is to be restudied. All structures are in poor condition. Bird Island pier is badly deteriorated and requires considerable annual maintenance. Several sections of pier' fail yearly, requiring removal of stone and debris from channel and repair of structure. Operating equipment and controls for Black Rock lock are anti- quated, inefficient, and require substantial repairs periodically.

Outer west breakwater was completed in 1882, and orig- inally 6,032 feet long with a 119-foot gap near westerly end, but was reduced to 4,359 feet in 1931, and gap was closed in 1942. West arrow- head breakwater was completed in 1931, and east arrowhead break- water in 1932. Old lighthouse pier, a part of west inner breakwater, and 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 harbor line and in outer harbor east of Erie-Lackawanna coal dock, except a strip about 200 feet wide along harbor line east of river mouth, in 1932. Channel in Oswego River was widened to 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 outer harbor west of Erie-Lacka- wanna coal dock. Channel was widened to 250 feet and deepened to 21 feet below low-water datum in 1948. Removal of shoals to 25 feet in approach to entrance channel was completed in 1957. Contract for construction of 850-foot long detached breakwater at this harbor entrance was initiated in May 1957 and completed June 1960. Break- waters are generally in fair condition except that slope stone in portions of west arrowhead breakwater has disintegrated and settled and core stone in a 1,500-foot section of west arrowhead breakwater has settled in many places. Approximately 1,900 linear feet of deteriorated sections of outer west breakwater were repaired under minor rehabilitation program in 1962. A depth of 21 feet at low-water datum is available in Oswego River to north line of Seneca Street, and in outer harbor east of Erie-Lacka- wanna coal dock, except in a 200-foot wide strip along harbor line east of mouth of Oswego River which has a controlling depth of 18 feet. The 250-foot channel in outer harbor west of Erie-Lackawanna coal dock and turning basin have a controlling depth of 21 feet at low- water datum. Work remaining to complete project is deepening remainder of west outer harbor west of Erie-Lackawanna coal dock; preconstruction planning for and deepening outer entrance, outer harbor and lower river channels, as authorized by 1962 River and Harbor Act; and completion of inactive portion of project.

SURVEY OF NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN LAKES Location. Region in which operations are conducted lies within States of Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. For additional details see An- nual Report for 1962. Previous projects. In region described, previous projects of Lake Survey have specified provision of complete navigation charts designed to suit needs of existing use of waters. These projects, in addition to hydrographic and topographic surveys, contemplated establishment of requisite horizontal and vertical control where not already in ex- istence, and measurement and analysis of other factors pertaining to navigation. A comprehensive statement concerning prior projects on Great Lakes, and formulation of "a general project covering to com- pletion the operations of the Survey" appeared in Annual Report for 1907, pages 844 to 850. Responsibilities under prior projects in Great Lakes portion of the region covered, apart from charting and naviga- tional aspects, consisted of those pertaining to lake levels, hydrology, and hydraulics of connecting and outflow rivers. The 1907 Annual Report, referred to above in connection with charting and navigational portions of the project, also discussed prior and existing responsibili- ties in these respects. A board appointed by the Division Engineer, Great Lakes Division, 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 Chief of Engineers and approved on January 21, 1935, as basic description of such responsibilities. Existing project. Portion of existing project concerned with chart- ing provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued consisting essentially of general charts employing small scales; coastal, river, and sectional charts employing medium scales; harbor and confined locality charts employing large 1399 1400 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 scales; and special charts such as those for recreational use employing scales suitable for purposes intended. Number of charts and indi- vidual chart scales and coverages are not fixed, project being made purposely flexible to permit alterations to keep abreast of changing needs. Essential to charting, and pertinent to lake levels and hydraulics as well, is the portion of project relating to maintenance of horizontal and vertical control coverage. Original control was established under early projects in connection with initial surveys by U.S. Lake Survey on the Great Lakes and by other Government agencies in the other areas of the district. 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 con- nection with later surveys and other Corps of Engineers work. Project includes publications of information for benefit of naviga- tion in addition to that provided by charts. These consist of such publications as the Great Lakes Pilot and supplements thereto and various lake and river level bulletins. The Pilot, issued annually, supplies full descriptions of physical conditions of waters charted and particulars of constantly changing conditions not adapted to adequate or prompt representation on charts. The Supplements, issued monthly during Great Lakes navigation season, provide corrections and addi- tions to the Pilot. Lake and river level bulletins permit maximum utilization of navigational depths in Federal projects and elsewhere. Since 1859, lake level gages installed and operated by U.S. Lake Survey have provided a continuous record of water levels of the Great Lakes and their connecting rivers. Present project provides for con- tinued operation of a comprehensive gage network. In the fields of applied hydraulics and hydrology, present project provides for con- tinuing studies of all aspects thereof required for discharge of Corps: of Engineers responsibilities on the Great Lakes. Chief of Engineers on December 20, 1962, authorized establish- ment of a Lake Survey Research Division to make scientific investiga- tions of all aspects of fresh-water oceanography relating to develop- ment and utilization of water resources of the Great Lakes system, in conjunction with which field surveys and observations are accom- plished, data collected and analyzed, and reports published. For additional details of existing project, see Annual Report for 1962. References to published articles not previously reported. One ar- ticle was published during fiscal year. It is: "Channel Changes In the St. Clair River Since 1933," by Ira M. Korkigian, U.S. Lake Survey, Journal of the Waterways and Harbors Division, ASCE, Vol. 89, No. WW2, Proc. Paper 3511, May 1963, pp. 1-14. Operations and results during fiscal year. Studies to determine effects of 27-foot navigation project in St. Clair-Detroit River system and to determine effectiveness of Detroit River compensating works were begun. Reduction of data obtained from metering flow through Bay Point section of St. Clair River was completed and reports thereon started and additional measurements were made on the sec- tion. Hydrographic surveys begun in fiscal year 1962 on St. Clair River for use in model study were completed. Measurements were U.S. LAKE SURVEY 1401 taken of flow of Detroit River at Fort Wayne section and in lower river channels. Two temporary water level gages were installed in Trenton Channel for hydraulic studies of Detroit River. Prelim- inary studies of extent of compensation required for proposed plans of revision of Trenton Channel were completed. Hydrographic survey that was started on Portage River in fiscal year 1962 was completed from Lake Erie to Oak Harbor, Ohio. A hydrographic survey was made of Saginaw Bay in Lake Huron from Point Aux Barques to mouth of Saginaw River. A hydrographic sur- vey of Lake Winnebago, and lower Fox River, Wis., was started. A special hydrographic survey was made at Lake Ontario end of proposed American Canal for use in design of harbor terminus. Revisory surveys were conducted in harbors and other critical areas along northern and eastern coasts of Lake Michigan, from Manitowoc, Wis., to South Haven, Mich., and at selected harbors on Lakes Huron Erie, and Superior. Similar surveys were made on St. Clair and Detroit Rivers and along U.S. shore of Lake St. Clair. Revisory surveys of Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods were started. Mainte- nance of vertical control network in appropriate areas was accom- plished coincident with revisory survey program. Horizontal control, using a tellurometer, was established on Lake Winnebago, Wis., and along Niagara River. First-order levels that were started last year along Fox River from De Pere to Oshkosh, Wis., were completed. Sections of first-order level line along Niagara River were rerun to provide additional bench marks which will be connected to a level line being run by Geodetic Survey of Canada along Canadian side of river. Twenty-two special water level gages on Lakes Michigan and Winnebago, which were installed late in fiscal year 1962, were maintained and operated for first 3 months of fiscal year 1963, and 24 similar gages were installed in May 1963 and oper- ated during June in selected harbors on Lakes Huron, Superior, Winnebago, and Erie for verifying vertical control. Water level data were collected at 49 permanent gaging stations during fiscal year. New stations were constructed at Cleveland, Ohio; Wyandotte, Mich.; and Oswego, N.Y. Construction of a new gage installation was started at Calume't Harbor, Ill. Preconstruction work was continued for new gage installations at Toledo, Ohio: Wind- mill Point, Mich.; and Harbor Beach Mich. In addition to operations listed above, many data of a hydraulic and hydrologic nature were collected, reduced, tabulated, and dis- seminated. Engineering and scientific analyses and studies were made of these data. Reports were prepared on results of these studies for use by all Corps of Engineers organizations, navigation, power, riparian and other public and private interests. Consulting engi- neering services were furnished to Corps of Engineers organizations and to the various international commissions, boards and committees concerned with the Great Lakes and their outflow rivers, including St. Lawrence River. Details of the latter are described hereinafter. Under program for research and investigation of all aspects of "fresh-water" oceanography and related scientific fields pertinent to development of improved utilization of water resources of the Great Lakes system, which was initiated on a modest scale during fiscal year, 1402 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 plans were made for research in nine separate fields: namely, water supply, water properties, water dynamics, air-water interface, lake climate, ice and snow, shore processes, geology, and research tech- niques. Aerial reconnaissance of ice conditions were made of all of the lakes in seven flights and ice-cover charts were prepared and distributed. An offshore instrument tower was constructed and prep- arations were made to place it in Lake Michigan about 1 mile offshore south of Muskegon. A field group commenced measurements of cur- rents in four Lake Michigan harbors. Twenty temporary water level recorders were installed in Lake Michigan to trace water level disturbances. Various reconnaissance inspections were made on Lake Michigan, including the islands in northern end of lake, to select other sites to be instrumented. Data collected by charting field sections, supplemented by informa- tion from numerous sources, were compiled for production of 25 revised chart editions, 2 new recreational chart volumes, and 10 chart reprints. Modification in aids to navigation and other critical chart data was made by hand on 165,531 copies of the stock of printed charts to maintain it currently accurate to the date of issue or sale. This undertaking involved 2,348,505 separate operations consisting of dele- tion of changed chart features. and addition of new features. Revised editions of 56 charts, 2 new series of recreational charts, and 13 reprints were processed and printed during the year for a total of 196,200 copies. In addition to charts, 1,000 hydrographs of lake levels, 42,500 copies of water level bulletins, and 18,000 chart catalogs were printed. Chart sales for the year amounted to 110,393 copies. Proceeds of sales amounted to $116,312. An additional 17,674 charts were issued for official use. The 1963 edition of the Great Lakes Pilot was prepared and the publication became available in April 1963. Sup- plements Nos. 3-7 to the 1962 Pilot were prepared and distributed monthly through November 1962. Supplement Nos. 1 and 2 to the 1963 Pilot were prepared and distributed in a similar manner in May and June 1963. U.S. Lake Survey sold 452 copies of the 1962 Great Lakes Pilot and Supplements during fiscal year 1963, realizing $1,130. An additional 43 copies of that issue of the publication (with supplements) were issued for official use. Sales of 1963 edition of the Pilot and supplements amounted to 2,869 copies, or $7,172. An additional 568 copies of that edition of the publication with supple- ments were issued for official use. A total of $1,209 was realized from sale of 1,135 Waterborne Commerce statistics publications, parts 1-4. Proceeds of sales of 720 part 5 and supplements thereto, Water- borne Commerce statistics publications, or a total of $194, was trans- mitted to Superintendent of Documents. An additional 745 copies of these publications were issued for official use. In addition to above publications, monthly and semimonthly lake level bulletins and tabulations of other hydraulic and hydrologic data of the Great Lakes were sent to individuals, newspapers, vessel in- terests, industrial interests, and Government agencies in both the United States and Canada to which the information is of concern. The monthly bulletin mentioned above was sent regularly to over 4,000 official and private recipients. Tabulations of river discharges, U.S. LAKE SURVEY 1403 precipitation, diversions, stages at specific locations, and other data were also dispatched regularly to 311 additional receivers, these being primarily official. A program for satisfying Lake Survey data storage and computer needs has been set up, and approval of rental of a card punch and verifier was obtained from Office, Chief of Engineers. Preparation of an index of technical publications in fields of limnology and oceanography has been started. Total cost for year was $916,051. Reimbursable printing work amounted to $69,782, of which $45,789 was received for reproducing project and other special maps for Corps of Engineers districts and remainder was received for Army Map Service ground maps. Cost of printing navigation charts amounted to $48,214 and was charged against revolving fund, these costs to be realized through the sale of charts to the public. Other reimbursable work accomplished by Lake Survey for other district offices amounted to $101,340 during fiscal year. INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES In addition to the foregoing basic work, following activities were conducted during fiscal year in connection with international boards and committees: InternationalJoint Commission: District Engineer and a member of his staff attended the semiannual appearances of the Great Lakes boards before International Joint Commission in Ottawa, and in Washington, D.C. InternationalLake Superior Board of Control: Periodic reports of water levels and recommendations regarding regulation of Lake Superior were furnished the Board. InternationalNiagara Board of Control and InternationalNiagara Committee: District Engineer and a member of this staff attended meetings of the Board in Ottawa and Washington. Index and cali- bration tests on turbines at Moses Niagara Powerhouse were observed for the board, results analyzed, and report made thereon. Meas- urements were made of the flow of lower Niagara River at Stella Niagara Hydraulic section. Study was made of effects of storage in Maid-of-the-Mist Pool and a method developed for more precise de- termination of the flow over Niagara Falls. This method was subse- quently adopted. InternationalSt. Lawrence River Board of Control: District Engi- neer and members of his staff attended nine meetings of the Board and Working Committee-one each in New York, Washington, Chi- cago, Cornwall, and Detroit, and two each in Ottawa and Toronto. Regulation Representatives: District Engineer is U.S. Regulation Representative. In this capacity, each Thursday he coordinates the regulated outflow of Lake Ontario for the ensuing week with the Canadian Regulation Representative and informs the Power Authority of the State of New York of the quantity. Plan 1958-C was used for this purpose. Collaboration with Canada in the collection of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River data needed for the regulation was continued. District Engineer or a member of his staff attended six meetings of the Board's Operations Advisory Group and was on the 1404 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 site during critical ice periods in December 1962-January 1963. During fiscal year, the Regulation Representatives maintained con- tinuing surveillance of the supply situation and prepared reports for the Board concerning effects of certain supply sequences. Regulation Representatives in consultation with Working Committee developed a new plan of regulation, designated Plan 1958-D, in the further interest of improving water levels of Montreal Harbor. Another function of the Regulation Representatives is authorization of operation of Iro- quois Dam. The dam was operated on 31 occasions during fiscal year. St. Lawrence Joint Working Committee on River Gaging: District Engineer is chairman of the U.S. section. He and members of his staff attended one meeting of the committee in Toronto and one meeting in Detroit during the year. Inspection of St. Lawrence River water level gages was made jointly with the Hydro-Electric Power Com- mission of Ontario and monthly random checks were made of water level record reductions of the power entities. One field inspection was made in conjunction with the Water Resources Branch, Depart- ment of Northern Affairs and National Resources, of the procedures for determination of flow through the structures of Lake St. Lawrence. Random checks of the daily flow from Lake St. Lawrence through the several structures were made each month, and the checks were co- ordinated with the Water Resources Branch. The 16th progress report of the committee was prepared and presented to International St. Lawrence River Board of Control and St. Lawrence River Joint Board of Engineers. A letter report on the review of the power entities brief on the results of unit-rating tests of Saunders-Moses powerhouse and con- version of ratings into final rating tables was sent to the Board, the tables were adopted and placed in service on May 1, 1963. Work on a shortcut for correcting the St. Lawrence powerhouse flows, July 1958 through April 30, 1963, based on the accepted rating tables was started. Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Dataand Subcommittees: Chief Technical Assistant of the Lake Survey serves as a member of the U.S. section of the committee, while members of the Lake Survey staff serve as members of the subcommittees. (a) Lake Levels Subcommittee. Preparation of the final version of the report entitled "Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Gage His- tory" was started. (b) River Flow Subcommittee. Computation of Niagara River flows over the 1860-1925 period and the report describing the method used were continued. Work was started on hydraulic studies of the St. Clair River for the purpose of determining the best values of the flows of record. (c) Vertical Control Subcommittee. A special study of current procedures and resulting rates of crustal movement was begun for the committee. (d) Physical Data Subcommittee. Work on determination of the areas of the Lake Huron drainage basin was completed and work on delineation of Lake Michigan drainage divide was started. Lake Erie Study Group: A chart covering Lake Erie Study Group U.S. LAKE SURVEY 1405 members' plans and programs was prepared in March 1963 and for- warded to group members. The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended a meeting of the group at North Central Division in Chicago on March 22, 1963, and a member of his staff attended a meeting of elements of the group in Toronto on April 23, 1963. The District Engineer was named by the Division Engineer to be the U.S. member of the Group's Data Processing Committee. He and a mem- ber of his staff attended a committee meeting in Toronto on June 7. Condition at end of fiscal year. All new work under various proj- ects is complete.

Morro Bay is on the Pacific coast, 110 miles south of Monterey Bay, 120 miles northwest of Santa Barbara Harbor, and nearly midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5387.) Existing project. Project-document plan of improvement provides for two randomstone breakwaters, the upcoast breakwater extending 1,800 feet south by west from Morro Rock, and downcoast breakwater extending west from sandspit 1,399 feet, thence northwest 433 feet, a total distance of 1,832 feet; an entrance channel 16 feet deep and 350 feet wide; Navy channel 16 feet deep, ranging in width from 350 to 800 feet from entrance channel to town of Morro; Morro channel from town of Morro to lower bay, 12 feet deep and generally 150 feet wide; a stone dike extending from Morro Rock to mainland, a distance of 1.600 feet; and a quarry-waste revetment levee extending for 6,930 feet along waterfront at Morro to retain marginal fills. A rehabilitation plan, to replace project-document plan, was ap- proved in August 1961. Rehabilitation plan provides for restoring deteriorated structures and channels to substantially the dimensions existing at completion of original construction, except that recon- structed breakwater would be 100 feet bayward of original alinement and have flatter side slopes and heavier armor stone. Breakwater head would be a trapezoidal prismoid constructed of monolithic concrete. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 4.7 feet. Extreme range is about 8.5 feet. RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1409 Federal first cost for new work for completed project was $2,612,093 from Navy funds. No maintenance work has been performed since 1958, in which year maintenance cost was $9,364. Latest (1962) approved estimate of Federal first cost for rehabilita- tion is $1,800,000. Existing project, adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, authorized (a) improvements as set forth in House Document -83, 77th Congress, 1st session; and (b) further harbor development as desired by Navy Department in accordance with plans on file in office of the Chief of Engineers. A map of rehabilitation plan as approved is in "Design Memorandum, General Design for Rehabilita- tion of North Breakwater and Continuing Maintenance of Morro Bay Harbor, Near Morro Bay, California," prepared by the U.S. Army Engineer District, Los Angeles, Corps of Engineers, December 1960 and revised August 1961. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Total first cost (paid by San Luis Obispo County) for required items of local cooperation under terms of project authorization was $33,000; comprising $10,000 for an access road, $20,000 for a pier, and $3,000 for two floating docks. No local cooperation is required under rehabilitation plan. Ternmial facilities. Facilities, which are adequate for existing commerce, comprise 640 feet of existing piers constructed by Navy, 550 feet of piers and 350 feet of floating docks constructed by San Luis Obispo County, 263 feet of floating docks constructed by Cali- fornia Division of Beaches and Parks, 1,440 feet of privately owned piers, and 5,025 feet of privately owned floating docks. Operations and results during fiscal year. Contract plans and specifications were completed for rehabilitation of north breakwater, and construction was initiated. Costs were $686,409 regular funds, comprising $685,642 for new work under rehabilitation project and $767 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was completed in 1946. Downcoast breakwater and stone dike connecting Morro Rock and mainland were completed in 1942; retaining levee, marginal fills along waterfront, and channel to lower bay, in 1944; the upcoast (Morro) breakwater, in 1946; and navigation channels were dredged to project dimensions in August 1956. Rehabilitation work, consisting of reconstruction of Morro breakwater about 100 feet channelward of original site, is about 30 percent complete. Work remaining consists of preparation of contract plans and specifications for dredging navi- gation channels. Project was in usable condition at end of fiscal year.

On 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. Plan of improvement provides for maintenance dredging of depths existing in 1934 in harbor formed by breakwater constructed by local interests and permits maintenance of harbor by means of a fixed sand-intercepting plant to be provided and operated by and at expense of local interests; the United States to make avail- able for 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 harbor maintenance found necessary if and when intercepting plant has been installed. Modification of existing project. Authorized by River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 518, 87th Cong., 2d sess.), as follows: Construction of a 500-foot extension to existing west breakwater, mak- ing a total length of 2,865 feet; construction of an east breakwater 2,500 feet long; construction of a 1,600-foot-long detached breakwater situated to form a sand trap; dredging an entrance channel 1,200 feet long, 400 feet wide, and 20 feet deep; dredging a turning basin 1,000 feet long, 500 feet wide, and 20 feet deep; dredging an east channel 1,200 feet long, 350 feet wide, and 15 feet deep; dredging a center channel 900 feet long, 250 feet wide, and 15 feet deep; dredging a west RIVERS AND HARBORS - --LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1411 channel 1,500 feet long, ranging in width from 200 to 350 feet, and 15 feet deep; and dredging an L-shaped anchorage area 15 feet deep. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. Extreme range is about 10 feet. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on project as modified is $3,080,000 (including $40,000 for Coast Guard costs). Average annual Federal maintenance cost of existing project for past 5 years was $30,993. Existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 30,1935 Maintenance dredging present depths into harbor S.

Prior to adoption by Congress, work was authorized by Public Works Administration. Local cooperation. Under plan for existing project, no specific local cooperation is required. However, $462,986 non-Federal funds made available by local interests were spent as follows: $450,322 to cover excess cost of depositing dredged material on the beach, over esti- mated cost of similar dredging with disposal at sea; and $12,664 for dredging in vicinity of pier formerly owned by the Navy. In addition, city of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County ex- pended $2,651,452 for harbor improvements, which includes a private donation to the city of about $450,000 for construction of that part of existing breakwater that was constructed as a detached breakwater, purchase of a hydraulic dredge and a dredge pipeline, operation of dredge, and construction of boat slips. Private local interests ex- pended $495,000 for miscellaneous harbor work. City of Santa Barbara entered into a contract with the United States to substitute, in lieu of fixed sand-intercepting plant, a movable dredge to work within protected area to shape the shoal resulting from travel of sand around breakwater so as to provide added protection within harbor and to pump surplus sand and future accretions from harbor area to downcoast beaches. The city will provide and operate a dredge of sufficient 'capacity to maintain an entrance channel into harbor with a minimum depth of 15 feet and a minimum width of 300 feet. Sub- ject to availability of operation and maintenance funds, the United States will reimburse the city on or before June 30 of each fiscal year, not more than $30,000 toward actual cost of condition surveys and op- eration of dredge. This contract, dated March 6, 1956, was executed March 22, 1956, to be effective as of July 1, 1956. 1412 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 19.63 Under plan to modify existing project, local interests must give assurance they will hold the United States free from, damages, pro- vide and maintain necessary mooring facilities and utilities, including a public landing with suitable supply facilities open to all on equal terms in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, first phase of development to be completed within 5 years after com- pletion of general navigation facilities and full development to be completed within 15 years--provide or arrange for suitable marine- repair facilities-secure and hold in the public interest all lands bordering development to a width sufficient for proper functioning of harbor-and bear any additional cost for replenishment of beach sands east of harbor over those costs required for maintenance-dredg- ing of general navigation features; contribute in cash 49 percent of construction cost; provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for con- struction and future maintenance, including suitable disposal areas for initial and subsequent disposal of spoil and necessary retaining dikes, bulkheads, and embankments therefor or cost of such retaining works; repair and seal existing west breakwater in accordance with plans approved by the District Engineer, and subsequent thereto transfer ownership of breakwater to the United States; construct sand fillet east of harbor 'concurrently with construction of east breakwater to assure continued replenishment of beach sands to downcoast beaches; and remove a portion of Stearn's wharf and make such other altera- tions or relocations as may be required for navigation improvements. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for re- quired items of local cooperation under terms of modified project au- thorization is $2,900,000. 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 warehouse, loading facilities, and facilities for small- craft repair, is used for general cargo and servicing fishing and oil- exploration boats. The pier, which was constructed by the Navy, is now operated by city of Santa Barbara and 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 reports submitted by city of Santa Barbara were audited. City of Santa Barbara was reimbursed under terms of maintenance-dredging contract. Costs were $31,066, all from regular funds for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year.

On California coast, 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.) Harbor is locally known as Ventura County Harbor. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for establishment of a harbor for light-draft vessels on coast of southern California about a mile northwest of existing harbor of Port Hueneme and for construction of shore-protection works. Ventura County, sponsor of project, requested modification of document plan of harbor improve- ment to utilize more land now unimproved and less subdivided land and submitted a modified plan that was adopted and approved by District Engineer. This plan, which provides facilities for berthing and servicing about 500 small craft and commercial fishing boats at approximately same site as that under 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. Dredged material, amounting to 6,238,000 cubic yards from entrance channel, interior basin, and sandtrap was deposited in feeder beach area to re- store downcoast shoreline. Plan also provides for construction of a 2,300-foot-long offshore breakwater placed to form a sandtrap in con- junction with jetties about 1,000 feet seaward from offshore ends of jetties and normal to them. About 1,600,000 cubic yards of material are to be dredged each biennium from sandtrap formed by jetties and breakwater. This material will also be deposited to restore downcoast 1414 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 shoreline as long as Federal ownership of lands and improvements necessitates such protection. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Mean tidal range in this area is 3.7 feet; diurnal range is 5.4 feet; and extreme range, about 10.5 feet. Latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on project as modified is $6,430,000 (including $29,500 for preauthoriza- tion studies and $1,220,000 Navy funds but excluding cost to Coast Guard for installation of aids-to-navigation). Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of Septem- ber 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 362, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). Map of modified plan is in "Design Memorandum No. 1, General Design for Harbor and Shore Protection Works Near Port Hueneme, California," prepared by Los Angeles District, May 1957. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and rights- of-way properly cleared, access roads, and relocation of utilities neces- sary for construction and maintenance; provide adequate facilities for berthing, servicing, and maintaining small craft, open to all on equal terms; establish a public body empowered to regulate use and develop- ment of harbor facilities: acquire and hold in the public interest lands bordering harbor to a width sufficient for proper utilization of harbor; maintain and operate all necessary harbor facilities except those parts of project that are constructed by the United States; eliminate and prohibit pollution of bathing beaches affected; hold the United States free from damages; and make fish-cannery sites available and en- courage construction of canneries by private interests. Authorizing act also provides that biennial dredging and bypassing of beach materi- al be continued at Federal expense only so long as Federal ownership or use of lands and improvements necessitates such protection. Ventura County Board of Supervisors supplied required assurances which were accepted by District Engineer on July 31, 1956. Action taken by Ventura County Board of Supervisors toward compliance with requirements of local cooperation: Developed, through hired con- sulting engineers, a master plan that indicates phasing of harbor facilities as required and provides for future development of more harbor area as needed; initiated action in acquiring some 282 lots and two acreage parcels; relocated existing water company wells; and acquired, by gift, a 110-acre parcel, with an appraised value of $240,000. Ventura County expended a total of $2,376,694 (including $7,000 for a master-plan report) for items of local cooperation. No funds have been expended by private interests. Latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for re- quired items of local cooperation under terms of project authorization is $3,880,000. Terminal facilities. Consist of a one-lane launch ramp for out- board motorboats, a small dock and landing, and mooring facilities for 40 vessels. Operations and results during fiscal year. After-construction sur- veys were made. Contract plans and specifications for maintenance dredging of harbor were prepared and dredging initiated. Costs were $109,254 from regular funds comprising $39,114 for new work and $70,140 for maintenance, $3,772 other contributed funds for new RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1415 work; and $10,902 Navy funds, comprising $7,545 for new work and $3,357 for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was started Febru- ary 25, 1959. Construction of north and south jetties was completed in June and September 1959, respectively. Construction of detached breakwater was completed in October 1960. Original'harbor dredg- ing was completed in August 1961. Maintenance dredging has been initiated.

MARINA DEL REY, LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIF. Location. On Santa Monica Bay, in Los Angeles County, on coast of southern California, 20 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 390 miles southeast of San Francisco Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 5101 and 5144.) 1416 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for establishment of a harbor for light-draft vessels at Marina del Rey. Los Angeles County, sponsor of project, requested modification of document plan since they believe that large central water area uses a larger part of marina site than is necessary for navigation; side basins have narrow entrances that will retard water circulation, causing fouling of water in basins; greater use of area available is economically desirable owing to high cost of acquisition; central entrance channel isolates a large section of beach between it and Ballona Creek; and several schools and colleges in tributary area are interested in shell racing and no straight stretch of water of required length is provided. Modified plan, which replaces document plan, was approved by Chief of Engi- neers on June 29, 1956. Modified plan, with certain further modifications in accordance with (1959) master plan of local interests, provides for protected berthing facilities for about 6,500 small craft and facilities for parking 2,500 trailer-mounted craft. Improvement would include an entrance and main channel, 700 to 1,000 feet wide, with combined length of about 10,000 feet and dredged to depths of 20, 15, and 10 feet below mean lower low water. From outer ends of jetties inland for about 5,100 feet, project depth would be 20 feet; thence, for about 2,300 feet to a point opposite middle of mole 2, project depth would be 15 feet; and thence for about 2,600 feet to north end of main channel, project depth would be 10 feet. An additional 2 feet for advance maintenance is added to 10-foot depth. Existing north Ballona Creek jetty would be extended 760 feet to function as south jetty of entrance channel and as a barrier between flood channel and entrance channel; and a new jetty about 2,000 feet long would be constructed at north side of entrance channel. Improvement would also include six 600-foot-wide and two 450-foot-wide side basins ranging in length from about 1,200 to 2,400 feet, with intervening moles about 350 feet wide. All basins would be dredged to a depth of 10 feet, except in basins A and B, where east ends would be dredged to 15 feet to accommodate large boats. Dredged material, amounting to about 12,500,000 cubic yards, is to be utilized for construction of moles and deposition on adjacent lowlands andbeaches. Federal participation is limited by authorizing act to 50 percent of cost of entrance jetties and of entrance and main channel. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Mean tidal range is 3.7 feet, the diurnal range is 5.6 feet, and extreme range is about 10.5 feet. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on the project as modified is $4,439,000 (including $42,000 for Coast Guard costs). Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of Septem- ber 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 389, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). A map of modified plan is in addendum 1 to "Design Memorandum No. 1, General Design for Playa Del Rey Inlet and Harbor, Venice, Calif.," prepared by Los Angeles District, November 1956. This modified plan is now further modified to conform to 1959 master plan of local interests. Local cooperation. See pages 1604 and 1605 of 1962 Annual Report for requirements. Local interests have supplied all necessary rights- of-way for construction of entire project; contributed its share of cost RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1417 of constructing jetties and of dredging; removed buildings, oil wells and derricks, utilities, and other interfering facilities in sufficient time so as to not to interfere with construction; and continued negotiations for relocation of pressure sewerline crossing project. To date, Los Angeles County has expended or contracted to expend $21,588,000 for Marina del Rey project. No funds have been expended by local pri- vate interests. However Los Angeles County has awarded leases to local private interests subject to their spending at least $700,000 for miscellaneous structures. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non- Federal first cost for required items of local cooperation under terms of project authorization is $23,317,000, including required contributed funds of $4,397,000. Termrrinal facilities. About 200 boats are presently berthed in the harbor, and facilities to accommodate 1,000 boats by September 1963 are being installed. A Coast Guard station and a fireboat detachment are in operation, and a fuel dock capable of serving several thousand boats is already in operation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surge studies, which included the construction of a model of the harbor area to determine what corrective measures must be taken to prevent further damage to the navigable channels and small-boat mooring installations, were initiated and completed. Costs, all for new work, were $70,652 from regular funds; $85,030 from required contributed funds; and $76,813 from other contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was started Febru- ary 10, 1958. Construction of jetties, which are in good condition, was completed in November 1958; and construction of bases for navi- gation aids was completed in September 1959. Dredging was com- pleted April 24, 1962; and revetment on May 11, 1962. High tides and surge in navigation channels caused considerable damage to moor- ing facilities during winter months of fiscal year 1963. Model studies have been made to determine design of the detached breakwater to be constructed.

LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH HARBORS, CALIF. Location. On 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: None for outer harbor prior to existing project. Original project for inner harbor adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1871, and modified by 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: None. For further details, see page 1977 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1646 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for: A stone breakwater 11,152 feet long (San Pedro breakwater) extending east- ward from Point Fermin; a stone-and-earth detached breakwater 18,500 feet long (middle breakwater); a stone-and-earth detached breakwater 13,350 feet long (Long Beach breakwater) ; maintenance of original Long Beach breakwater south of outer end of pier A (now an integral part of pier A as extended); an entrance channel 1,000 feet wide and 40 feet deep to outer Los Angeles Harbor, with a turning basin 3,500 feet long and 1,500 feet wide of same depth opposite end of pier 1, and enlargement of entrance to inner harbor by dredging to a depth of 35 feet a triangular area at junction of inner harbor with this turning basin; irregular anchorage areas (areas A and B) 40 feet deep adjacent to 40-foot-depth entrance channel; an inner-harbor channel (Los Angeles channel) 35 feet deep and 1,000 feet wide, with a turning basin at its north extrem- ity 35 feet deep; a channel (East Basin channel) 35 feet deep and 650 feet wide extending from turning basin to slip 5; a channel (Cer- ritos channel) 35 feet deep and 400 feet wide from slip 5 to a turning basin in Long Beach inner harbor; for a turning basin 35 feet deep in Long Beach inner harbor; an entrance channel to Long Beach inner harbor 35 feet deep and 300 to 500 feet wide; a settling basin RIVERS AND HARBORS LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1419 at mouth of Los Angeles River diversion channel, dredged material to be deposited on the beaches eastward therefrom to Belmont pier; a silt-diversion channel (Los Angeles River) for protection of Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors; and maintenance of entire project except silt-diversion channel. Dredging in East Basin was authorized as a modification of exist- ing project by act of September 3, 1954. Local interests dredged about 1,290,000 cubic yards of material from basin by using their own funds for which they were reimbursed by the Federal Govern- ment. Approximately 700,000 yards of material remain to be dredged by the Federal Government. Dredging in West Basin to a depth of 35 feet was authorized as a modification of existing project by act of July 14, 1960. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.5 feet. Ex- treme range is about 10 feet. Last maintenance work performed in 1958 for $5,658. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work for existing project is $32,844,000, including $958,000 and $1,518,000 for dredging in East and West Basins, respectively, as modifications of existing project, and $4,000 for Coast Guard. Estimate excludes cost of constructing 6,000 feet of middle breakwater by Navy Depart- ment. Except for reconnaissance and condition surveys, no mainte- nance has been accomplished since April 1946, when maintenance dredging was accomplished at a cost of about $183,200. Rehabilita- tion of 12,500-foot middle-breakwater section constructed by the Corps of Engineers was accomplished in December 1947 at a cost of about $786,690.

SANTA ANA RIVER BASIN (AND ORANGE COUNTY), CALIF. Location. Site of improvements is on Santa Ana River and tribu- taries and on other streams in Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, Calif. General plan of improvement. Although a single comprehensive plan for flood control has been developed for Santa Ana River basin, improvements provided under this plan are divided into two projects in accordance with congressional authorizations. Santa Ana River basin (and Orange County) project, the first of these two projects, provides for protection of metropolitan area of Orange County, which includes some areas outside Santa Ana River basin; and flood control on San Antonio, Chino, Lytle, and Cajon Creeks. Santa Ana River basin project, the second of these two projects, provides for flood control in other areas of basin. For pertinent information on second project see other authorized flood control projects.

Operation of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 23.4 square miles, reducing design flood from an inflow of 8,300 cubic feet per second to an outflow of 1,330 cubic feet per second. (b) Carbon Canyon Dam and channel: Improvement on Carbon Canyon Creek near mouth of Carbon Canyon and about 4 miles east of city of Brea, consists of a rolled-earthfill dam with a crest length of 2,610 feet and a maximum height of 99 feet above streambed; a flood control reservoir with a capacity of 7,050 acre-feet (March 1961) at spillway crest; and a 4,080-foot-long reinforced-concrete outlet channel with a capacity of 1,000 to 2,000 cubic feet per second. Operation of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 19.3 square miles, reducing design flood from an inflow of 9,300 cubic feet per second to an outflow of 1,000 cubic feet per second. (c) Fullerton Dam: Improvement on East Fullerton Creek about 4 miles upstream from its mouth at Brea Creek and about 2 miles northeast of city of Fullerton, consists of a rolled-earthfill dam with a crest length of 575 feet and a maximum height of 47 feet above streambed, and a flood control reservoir with a capacity of 706 acre- feet (March 1962) at spillway crest. Operation of reservoir regu- lates runoff from a tributary area of 5.05 square miles, reducing design flood from an inflow of 4,600 cubic feet per second to an out- flow of 240 cubic feet per second. 1448 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 (d) Lytle and Cajon Creeks channel improvements: Improvements, which extend along Lytle and Cajon Creeks for about 12 miles from northwest of city of San Bernardino to just south of that city, con- sist of collecting levees and groins on Lytle and Cajon Creeks up- stream from Foothill Boulevard; an improved channel generally along West Branch of Lytle Creek from Foothill Boulevard to Warm Creek; bank protection at Warm Creek; and a diversion structure to bypass excess flows down existing East Branch of Lytle Creek.. (e) Prado Dam: Improvement on Santa Ana River about 30 miles upstream from mouth, consists of a rolled-earthfill dam with a crest length of 2,280 feet and maximum height of 106 feet above stream- bed and a flood control reservoir with a capacity of 217,000 acre-feet (August 1960) at spillway crest. Opetation of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 2,233 square miles, reducing design flood from an inflow of 193,000 cubic feet per second to an outflow of 9,200 cubic feet per second. (f) San Antonio Dam: Improvement, which is on San Antonio Creek near mouth of San Antonio Canyon and about 7.5 miles north of city of Pomona, consists of a rolled-earthfill dam with a crest length of 3,850 feet and a maximum height of 160 feet above stream- bed and a flood control reservoir with a capacity of 9,285 acre-feet (August 1956) at spillway crest. Operation of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 26.7 square miles, reducing design flood from an inflow of 19,000 cubic feet per second to an outflow of 8,500 cubic feet per second. (g) San Antonio and Chino Creeks channel: Improvement, which extends along San Antonio and Chino Creeks for about 16 miles from San Antonio Dam to Prado Reservoir, consists of a rectangular, concrete-lined channel with a length of about 10.5 miles and a width ranging from 20 to 30 feet; a trapezoidal channel with a length of about 5.2 miles and a bottom width ranging from 60 to 336 feet; and 29 highway bridges, 4 railroad bridges, and 1 combination highway and railroad bridge. Local cooperation. None required for following active units: Brea Dam, Carbon Canyon Dam and channel, Fullerton Dam, Prado Dam, San Antonio Dam, and San Antonio and Chino Creeks channel. Local interests must furnish lands, easements, and rights-of-way; bear expense of all highway and highway-bridge modifications; hold the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate all works after completion for Lytle and Cajon Creeks channel improve- ments unit of project.

WEST FORK RESERVOIR, MOJAVE RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location. West Fork Reservoir site is on West Fork of Mojave River about 2,000 feet upstream from confluence of West Fork and Deep Creek and about 15 miles upstream from Victorville, in Mojave River Basin, Calif. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height of 138 feet above streambed, a crest length of 443 feet, and an ungated spillway with a net crest length of 180 feet near center of dam; and a flood control reservoir with a gross capacity of 40,180 acre-feet at spillway crest including 10,000 acre-feet for sediment. Operation of reservoir would regulate runoff from a tributary area of 77 square miles, reducing standard project flood of 40,000 cubic feet per second on West Fork to an out- flow ranging from 0 to 10,000 cubic feet per second and reducing standard project flood of 95,000 cubic feet per second on Mojave River downstream from mouth of West Fork to 67,000 cubic feet' per second. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $3,900,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960. (See H. Doc. 164, 86th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must hold the United States free from damages from all water-rights claims resulting from con- struction and operation of project; prevent encroachment harmful to existing channel downstream from reservoir; and maintain channel capacity of not less than 20,000 cubic feet per second through im- proved areas. San Bernardino County Flood Control District, by resolution adopted December 17, 1962, supplied assurances that re- quired conditions would be met. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for re- quired items of local cooperation is $95,000. To date, local interests have expended direct a total of $75,000 for required local cooperation items and $650,425 for items not required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work on project plan continued, and preparation of master plan was initiated. Costs were $123,534 regular funds for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project plan is about 82 percent complete, and master plan about 15 percent complete.

TAHCHEVAH CREEK DETENTION RESERVOIR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS, WHITEWATER RIVER BASIN, CALIF. Location. Site is on Tahchevah Creek in city limits of Palm Springs, in Whitewater River Basin, Calif. FExisting project. Plan of improvement provides for: (a) 900-acre- foot-capacity detention reservoir to be created by an earthfill embank- ment just below mouth of Tahchevah Canyon; (b) an ungated, con- crete-lined open spillway through right end of embankment; (c) a stone dike about 1,200 feet long to be constructed upstream from em- bankment to deflect flows from outlet works; (d) a concrete-lined channel, partly trapezoidal and partly rectangular, extending from reservoir to Palm Canyon Drive; (e) an underground conduit extend- ing from Palm Canyon Drive to a point about 540 feet upstream from junction of Tahchevah Creek and Baristo Creek; and (f) an unlined, excavated, earth channel extending from downstream end of conduit to Baristo Creek. Operation of reservoir would reduce peak flows of Tahchevah Creek, and channel and conduit sections of project would pass reduced flows through Palm Springs and part of Caliente Indian Reservation to existing partly improved channel of Baristo Creek. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $1,110,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960. (See H. Doc. 171, 86th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction; bear expense of all relocations, including required bridge and culvert modifications; hold the United States free from damages, including damages from water-rights claims; maintain and operate all works after completion; and prevent encroachment harmful to improved channel along Tah- chevah Creek and to existing Baristo Creek channel from Tahchevah Creek to Sunrise Way: Providedlocal interests shall bear 50 percent of cost of project, including cost of lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for all requirements of local cooperation under authorizing act is $1,110,000, including $610,000 required contributed funds. Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District adopted a resolution, dated March 8, 1963, assuring the United States that this cooperation will be supplied. To date, local interests have expended direct a total of $109,750 for required local cooperation items and $1,441,900 for items not required. 713-891-64-92 1454 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Operations and results during fiscal year.

CAMELSBACK RESERVOIR, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. Camelsback Reservoir site is on Gila River. mile 443, about 24 miles upstream from Safford, Ariz., in Gila River basin, which is a'part of Colorado River basin. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for: (a) An earth- and-rockfill dam with a maximum height of 284 feet above streambed, a crest length of 1,140 feet, and a detached, ungated, broad-crested spillway with a crest length of about 950 feet; and (b) a flood control reservoir with a gross capacity of 283,000 acre-feet, including 150,000 acre-feet for sediment. Operation of reservoir would regulate runoff from a tributary area of 7,500 square miles, reducing standard project flood from an inflow of 175,000 cubic feet per second to a maximum outflow of 120,000 cubic feet per second, immediately after construc- tion of reservoir, and to a maximum outflow of 167,000 cubic feet per second, after a 50-year accumulation of sediment. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $11,200,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (See S Doc.'27, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must hold the United States free from damages arising from construction, maintenance, and opera- tion of dam and reservoir; establish and enforce floodway limits and regulations, keeping Gila River channel free from encroachment be- tween Camelsback damsite and Brown canal heading, so as to maintain present river-channel carrying capacity; and hold the United States free from all damages arising from water rights claims resulting fromi conriruction, maintenance, and operation of dam and reservoir. Operationsand results during fiscal year. No operations were per- formed during fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. No Federal work has been per- formed on project. 18. MIDDLE GILA RIVER CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS, UPPER SAFFORD VALLEY TO BUTTES RESERVOIR SITE, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. Middle Gila River channel improvement would extend along approximately 94 miles of middle Gila River from upper end of Safford Valley (river mile 435) to San Carlos Reservoir (river mile 357) and from mouth of San Pedro River (river mile 319) to Buttes Reservoir site (river mile 303) . Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for a cleared floodway extending for about 94 miles along middle Gila River. Floodway would be created by clearing phreatophytic growth by mechanical means from an area of about 14,200 acres with a max- 1456 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 imum width of about 4,000 feet and an average width of about 1,300 feet. Improvement would provide partial protection from floods to areas in Safford Valley and, because of removal of phreat- ophytic growth, would result in a net increase of 19,800 acre-feet of water available annually for agriculture. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $1,090,000. Improvement was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958 (see S. Doc. 5, 86th Cong., 1st sess.), as one of the improve- ments under a comprehensive plan for development of Gila River, subject to further detailed study and specific authorization. Local cooperation. Responsible local interests must give assur- ances they will provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction; hold the United States free from damages due to construction work; maintain and operate all works after comple- tion; 'and keep cleared floodway free from encroachment. In consideration of benefits in connection with study of any up- stream reservoir under comprehensive plan, existing project (chan- nel improvements) and upstream reservoir shall be considered as a single operating unit in economic evaluation. As a result, in event it is possible as determined by Secretary of the Interior to identify organizations directly benefiting from water conserved by these works and to feasibly determine extent of such benefit to each organiza- tion, Secretary of the Interior shall enter into contracts with such organizations for repayment of that part of cost of work that is properly allocated to such organizations: Provided, that such repay- ment shall be under terms and conditions satisfactory to Secretary of the Interior and shall be in installments fixed in accordance with ability of those organizations to pay as determined by Secretary of the Interior in the light of outstanding repayments and other obligations. Bureau of Reclamation, Region 3, Boulder City, Nev., has com- pleted "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 Secre- tary of the Army. This report contains the following conclusions: (1) That because of the many complexities involved, for all practical purposes, it will not be possible to accurately identify individual organizations directly benefiting from water salvaged by channel- improvement program to determine amount of water received or bene- fits resulting from use of salvaged water; and (2) that, under circumstances involved, it is not possible to make an equitable alloca- tion of costs among organizations as a basis for entering into repay- ment contracts. Therefore, repayment for water salvage is not a prerequisite of local cooperation at this time. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first costs for re- quired items of local cooperation (excepting repayment as described in the preceding paragraph) is $270,000. Boards of Supervisors of Graham County and Pinal County adopted resolutions dated July 1 and August 8, 1960, respectively, assuring the United States that this cooperation will be supplied.

TUCSON DIVERSION CHANNEL, GILA RIVER BASIN, ARIZ. Location. Tucson diversion channel site is in Pima County in drainage areas of Tucson Arroyo and Julian Wash, tributaries of Santa Cruz River near Tucson, Ariz. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for protection for city of Tucson, Ariz., and suburban areas by diverting runoff from upstream part of Tucson Arroyo drainage area to an adjacent drainage area, and thence to Santa Cruz River. After project was authorized, local interests developed a plan of improvement differing substantially from project-document plan and constructed a major part of improvement under their plan. Subsequently, local interests requested a modification of project-document plan to provide more flood control than would be available under plan developed by local in- terests. General provisions of modified plan, which replaces docu- ment plan, were approved by Chief of Engineers on September 2, 1958. Modified plan provides for increasing capacity of diversion-channel project under construction by Pima County to accommodate standard- project flood discharge; and conveying floodflow to Santa Cruz River by means of an improved channel along Julian Wash. Work under modified plan would involve completing diversion channel between Tucson Arroyo and Southern Pacific Railroad and enlarging that channel at Tucson Arroyo; enlarging existing diversion channel be- tween Southern Pacific Railroad and detention basin; completing excavation of detention basin and increasing discharge capacity: increasing capacity of diversion channel between detention basin and Julian Wash; constructing an improved channel along Julian Wash; reconstructing or modifying eight highway bridges and two railroad bridges; and constructing five new highway bridges. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $6,520,000. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of June 30, 1948. (See H. Doc. 274, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, 1458 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 and rights-of-way necessary for construction; pay for relocation of utilities, and construct necessary highway bridges, dips, and reloca- tions; hold the United States free from damages due to construction and operation; and maintain and operate improvements after com- pletion. Board of Supervisors of Pima County, Ariz., agreed to par- ticipate in a flood control project and assume cost of required items of local cooperation. Latest (1963) estimate of non-Federal first cost for all require- ments of local cooperation under modified plan is $2,940,000, includ- ing $1,008,000 spent for that part of completed improvements under plan developed by local interests that could be utilized under modified plan. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work on modified plan was completed. Preparation of contract plans and specifications for part 1 was completed, and construction initiated. Preparation of operation and maintenance manual was initiated. Contract plans and specifications for part 2 were initiated. Costs were $227,026 reg- ular funds and $21,449 other contributed funds, all for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Contract plans and specifications for part 1 are complete and for part 2, 85 percent complete. Con- struction of part 1 is about 12 percent complete. Operation and main- tenance manual is 10 percent complete. Work remaining consists of completing contract plans and specifications, completing construc- tion, and completing operation and maintenance manual. Total cost of new work for existing project to June 30, 1963, was $531,201, of which $509,752 was regular funds and $21,449 other con- tributed funds. Excludes $1,008,000 non-Federal costs (revised esti- mate 1963) already spent for required items of local cooperation (i.e., expenditures to date on that part of local interests' alternative project that is to be utilized).

Outlet works, which are at left abut- ment, consist of an intake structure; an ungated outlet conduit; and an outlet-and-diversion structure. The spillway, which is an unlined structure about 4,000 feet north of dam, consists of a broad-crested weir about 355 feet long; an approach channel 1,080 feet long; and a downstream channel about 1,300 feet long. Reservoir has a total capacity at spillway crest of 35,890 acre-feet (May 1957), of which 7,000 acre-feet are allocated for sediment. Reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 143 square miles, reducing flow of design flood from 110,000 to 1,000 cubic feet per second. Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost is $1,912,000, including $9,000 for Code 710 recreation project. Average annual maintenance cost for past 3 years was $6,765. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946. (See H. Doc. 220, 80th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish assurances they will adjust all water rights claims arising from improvements and hold the United States free from all claims for damages arising from construction and operation of the works. Under date of March 3, 1958, Board of Supervisors of Pinal County passed a resolution to furnish assurances required by authorizing act and, in addi- tion, to maintain downstream flood channel free from manmade encroachments. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations consisted of maintaining dam in good operating condition, completing operation and maintenance manual, continuing acquisition of rights-of-way and preparation of master plan, and administering real estate. Costs were $8,360 regular funds, comprising $595 for new work and $7,765 for maintenance. Maximum inflow of 2,900 cubic feet per second and maximum out- flow of 530 cubic feet per second occurred February 11 and 12, 1963, respectively. Maximum storage of 1,225 acre-feet, which is about 3 percent of gross capacity at spillway crest, occurred February 12, 1963. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction, which started May 1959, was completed in November 1960. Operation and maintenance manual is complete. Work on master plan is 90 percent complete. Work remaining consists of completing acquisition of rights-of-way, reservoir-regulation manual, and master plan. Total costs from regular funds to end of the fiscal year were $1,883,440, of which $1,863,146 was for new work and $20,294 for maintenance.

DIVERSION LEVEES, DETENTION BASINS, AND OUTLET CHAN- NELS ON TRIBUTARIES OF LAS VEGAS WASH, COLORADO RIVER BASIN, NEV. Location. Site of improvements for flood control along tribu- taries of Las Vegas Wash is in vicinity of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson, Nev., in Las Vegas Wash basin, a part of Colorado River basin. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for three sepa- rate flood control units: Las Vegas unit, Henderson unit, and Power- line Road unit. Las Vegas unit, which would provide protection for most of North Las: Vegas, Las Vegas, and developed areas south of Las Vegas from floods in Las Vegas Loop, Las Vegas Creek, Charleston Boulevard, and Flamingo Wash drainage areas, would consist of two diversion levees, a detention basin, and an outlet channel. One diversion levee and the detention basin would be west and southwest of cities of North Las Vegas and Las Vegas. This levee, ranging in height from 4 to 20 feet above natural ground surface, would extend generally southward about 31,000 feet from a point about 7 miles northwest of Las Vegas to detention basin, which would be on Flamingo Wash west of -Union Pacific Railroad. This detention basin would have an average height of 50 feet above natural ground surface, a length of 25,3001 feet, a capacity of 14,660 acre-feet (including 2,000 acre- feet for sedimentation), for a concrete-lined spillway at south end with a crest length of 2,000 feet. Flows resulting from standard project floods originating upstream from diversion levee would be intercepted and directed to detention basin, and standard project flood would be reduced by detention basin from an inflow of about 50,000 cubic feet per second to a discharge of 3,500 cubic feet per second. Outlet channel would extend generally eastward for about 50,200 feet from detention basin to Las Vegas Wash, would be concrete-lined and generally trapezoidal in shape for upstream 43,400 feet, and would be a broad earth floodway between high ground on left and a levee to be constructed on right for downstream 6,800 feet. Capacity of channel would range from 3,500 cubic feet per second at upstream end to 20,000 cubic feet per second at downstream end. Other diversion levee, which would be about 1/2 mile west of Las Vegas, airport, would extend for 8,000 feet from a point north of Union Pacific Railroad to outlet channel. This levee, which would 1466 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 have a height of about 6.5 feet, would divert flows of up to 8,500 cubic feet per second to outlet channel. Henderson unit, which would provide protection for Henderson and adjacent industrial plants from floods in washes south and east of Henderson, would consist of a detention basin and an outlet chan- nel. Detention basin, with a height of about 31 feet, a length of about 11,300 feet, and a capacity of about 1,980 acre-feet (including 210 acre-feet for sedimentation) would be about 1 mile south of Henderson. As a result, standard project flood would be reduced from an inflow of 5,500 cubic feet ,per second to a discharge of 500 cubic feet per second. An unpaved trapezoidal channel would ex- tend generally northward for about 16,800 feet to a point just down- stream from water-service line from Lake Mead. A levee along left (west) side of downstream end of channel would extend downstream for about 5,000 feet. Powerline Road unit, which would provide protection for devel- oped area south of Nellis Air Force Base from floods on washes northeast and northwest of that base, would consist of a single 12,800- foot-long diversion levee ranging in height from 8.5 to 16 feet. Levee would intercept standard project floodflows of up to 28,000 cubic feet per second and direct them generally along Powerline Road to Las Vegas Wash. Latest (1963) apiproved estimate of Federal first cost is $13,900,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960. (See H. Doc. 405, 86th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands,e6aseents, and rights-of-way necessary for construction:; make all those altera- tions and relocations of existing improvements, exclusive of railroad facilities, that may be required for construction; hold the United. States free from damages; maintain and operate each usable element of the works after completion; and establish and enforce flood-channel limits and regulations for preservation of flood capacities of recom- mended channels and detention basins: Provided, further, that con- struction of any one of the three units may be undertaken inddepend- ently of the others whenever funds for that purpose are available and the prescribed local cooperation has been provided. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for re- quired local cooperation items is estimated at $5,400,000. Clark County Flood Control District was requested to supply assurances that required conditions would be met. To date, local interests have expended direct a total of $1,647,400 for local cooperation items not required under terms of project authorization. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work on project plan for Henderson unit continued during fiscal year. Costs were $88,150' regular funds for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work on project plans for Las Vegas and Henderson units has been initiated. Work remaining con- sists of completing project plans for Las Vegas and Henderson units, preparing project plan for Powerline Road unit, preparing plans and' specifications for all units, constructing units, and preparing opera- tion and maintenance manual. Total costs from regular fuds to end' of fiscal year were $285,794 for new work.

VENTURA BEACH, VENTURA COUNTY GROINS, CALIFORNIA Location. Proposed project is on California coast at city of Ventura about 70 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Existing project. In general, plan of improvement as originally authorized for Ventura Beach provided for Federal participation by contribution of Federal funds toward cost of three groins. Ex- isting project was later modified to provide for Federal participation by contribution of Federal funds toward cost of a total of nine groins and placement of approximately 1,534,000 cubic yards of suitable material on the beach. However, in accordance with River and Har- bor Act of July 28,1956, construction under both original and modified projects was undertaken by Corps of Engineers under arrangements explained in following "Local cooperation." Latest (1963) approved estimate of Federal first cost for project as modified is $1,140,000. Existing project was originally adopted by River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 29, 83d Cong., 1st sess.). Modified project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 458, 87th Cong., 2d sess., project document which contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must adopt project plan of im- provement and construct improvement unless Corps of Engineers agrees to construct improvement upon request of local interests and upon receipt of required contributed funds and, if needed, advanced funds from local interests. Local interests also must obtain approval of Chief of Engineers of detailed plans and specifications for prosecut- ing work prior to commencement of such work by local interests; pro- vide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for accomplishment of work; prevent water pollution that would endanger health of bathers; and maintain continued public ownership of beaches and their administra- tion for public use only. Furthermore, the State of California or appropriate local authority is required to give satisfactory assurances that such protective measures will be maintained during the useful life of project as may be required to serve its intended purpose. Latest (1963) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost is $980,- 000.

Act of January 21, 1927, requires that future maintenance by the United States of north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance. This requirement has not been fulfilled. In compliance with a 1910 license issued by Secretary of War pursuant to provisions of act of June 25, 1910, local interests replaced bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. They operated and maintained a combined highway and rail- road bridge at Fruitvale Avenue until 1942 when California Court of Appeals ruled that it was illegal for County of Alameda to use appropriated funds for sole benefit of a private corporation. South- ern Pacific Railroad Co. operated trains over combined bridge until June 1951 when a separate railroad bridge, constructed for its use by the Federal Government, was placed in operation. (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 in- terests in meeting requirements of local cooperation. Recorded ex- penditures are in excess of $11 million. Act of October 23, 1962, requires that prior to construction local interests provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction and maintenance of improvement; hold the United States free from damages to wharves, piers, tubes, and other marine and submarine structures due to initial dredging and subsequent mainte- nance; accomplish alterations required in sewer, water supply, drain- age, and other utility facilities; provide and maintain adequate public terminal and transfer facilities, open to all on equal terms; deepen and maintain slips and berths; and if required furnish spoil-disposal areas including necessary dikes, bulkheads and embankments for initial dredging and subsequent maintenance. The State of California, on September 12, 1961, furnished assur- ances that it will hold the United States free and harmless from liability for damages to Posey and Webster Street Tubes due to initial dredging and subsequent maintenance. Required assurances of cooperation for all other items of local cooperation have been provided by Port of Oakland and city of Alameda. Terminal facilities. In inner harbor there are 64 wharves of which 36 are owned by Port of Oakland, 7 shipyards, and numerous small boat moorings.

For deep-water ship channel project local in- terests must provide suitable terminal facilities; furnish lands and rights-of-way for construction and future maintenance; make all necessary utility changes; and hold the United States free from damages. These requirements have been fully complied with except for provision of terminal facilities; construction of these is underway (see terminal facilities). Total actual costs for requirements of local cooperation under terms of the project authorization were $4,072,000 for rights-of-way and relocations; estimated cost of terminal facilities is $11,400,000 (July 1963). In order to permit passage of oceangoing vessels, the State of Cali- fornia has reconstructed bridge across Sacramento River at Rio Vista at an estimated cost of about $3,200,000. No local cooperation is required on shallow-draft feature of project. Terminal facilities. Piers, wharves, and docks at port of Sacra- mento for shallow-draft navigation are open-pile structures with timber decks, some of which are designed to meet extreme high waters at flood stages. All main wharves at Sacramento have rail connec- tions. Municipal-belt-railroad tracks serve shedded wharves from the rear. Three of above facilities are owned by city of Sacramento and remainder by private interests; all are privately operated. For full description see "Port and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of Stockton and Sacramento, Calif., 1951." Deep-water terminal facilities comprise wharves and piers, adminis- tration and storage buildings, and belt railroad facilities. Majority of these facilities are owned and operated by Sacramento-Yolo Port District; remainder are privately owned and operated. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Deep-draft channel-Improvement dredging of ship channel, miles 18.2 to 26.8, initiated by continuing contract in fiscal year 1961, was completed except for removal of an additional mud shoal which developed in deep-water channel; approximately 18,275,000 cubic yards of material were removed during fiscal year. In addition, dredging ship channel, miles 0 to 14.1, Suisun Bay to Egbert Tract, initiated by continuing contract in fiscal year 1962, was completed; approximately 7,261,000 cubic yards of material were removed during fiscal year. Engineering studies, including preparation of plans and specifications, were accom- plished by hired labor. Total costs for new work during fiscal year were $5,043,866, of which $5,024,038 were Federal costs and $19,828 contributed funds, other, for work accomplished for local interests at their expense. Maintenance: Shallow-draft channel-Condition surveys, engineer- ing studies (including bridge study), and minor removal of snags was accomplished by hired labor. Dredging shoals in Sacramento River above and below Sacramento, Sacramento Harbor, and Steam- boat Slough, by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge, resulted in removal of 234,000 cubic yards of material. Federal costs for fiscal year from regular funds were $87,923 for shallow-draft maintenance. RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1525 Deep-draft channel--Limited maintenance and operation on week- days of barge canal and lock was continued during year for purpose of accommodating barge traffic between deep-water harbor and points along upper Sacramento River.

Construction of 7-foot shallow- draft channel below Sacramento was initiated in September 1899 and completed in 1904. Modified 10-foot shallow-draft channel up to Sacramento was initiated in fiscal year 1928 and completed in 1931. Shallow-draft channel above Sacramento was initiated in April 1946. New work on shallow-draft channel is about 55 percent complete. Work remaining to complete shallow-draft portion of project is provi- sion of a 5-foot depth between Colusa and Chico Landing (50 miles). Completion of shallow-draft channel is indefinite. Construction of 30-foot deep-water ship channel was initiated in July 1949; improvement dredging by continuing contracts resulted in provision of an operational facility for oceangoing vessels during June 1963. Bascule bridge was completed in April 1960, barge lock in August 1961, and barge canal in November 1961. Entire deep- water ship channel is about 91 percent complete; project completion is scheduled for June 1969. Work remaining to complete deep-draft portion of project is minor channel dredging, bank protection, and evees. Final shaping (stage construction) of ship channel levees (mile 18.6 to 22.4) will be undertaken as foundation conditions permit. Bank protection requirements cannot be determined until after ship channel is placed in operation. Controlling low-water-season depths for shallow-draft channel were: From mouth of 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 navigation, 1.5 feet. Channel is navigable all year; however, there is no regular navigation above Colusa, 145 miles above river mouth. Deep-draft channel will have a controlling depth of 30 feet for deep-draft vessels. 1526 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, 1963 Total costs for existing project to June 30, 1963: Funds New work Maintenance Total Shallow-draft: Regular.... ________________________________ $585, 436 $8,751,587 $9,337,023 Deferred maintenance_ _________ -- -________.. ______-_____ -. -70, 000 70, 000 Total shallow-draft_. ----------------- - 585, 436 8,821, 587 9, 407, 023 30-foot channel....______. __.__.. _____________ ... 37. 633, 635 269, 143 37, 902, 778 Total United States---....-----______________ -- 38, 219, 071 9, 090, 730 47, 309, 801 Contributei funds, other (30-foot channel) 1-...... . 340, 251 - 340, 251 o fulfids....... ---------------------- d allfotal ... ... 38, 559, 322 9,090, 730 47, 650,052 1 Miscellaneous construction and engineering services (nonproject) accomplished at expense of Sacramento- Yolo Port District.

Terminal facilities. Harbor facilities at port of Stockton, Calif., consist of 55 piers, wharves, and docks along San Joaquin River and on connecting Stockton, Mormon, and Fremont Channels. With exception of four facilities on San Joaquin River and three on Mor- mon Channel, all facilities are on Stockton Channel or in proximity thereto. Nearly half of port's water terminals are bulkhead-type shore wharves with sufficient depths of water to accommodate ordi- nary river craft; ocean terminals are concrete marginal wharves; and remainder are generally open pile, timber-decked piers, shore wharves, or offshore wharves. About one-half of waterfront facilities are owned by city of Stockton and under jurisdiction of Stockton Port District. Certain facilities at Stockton port terminal are in use for military purposes. A naval supply depot (Stockton Annex) has been completed on Rough and Ready Island. Shallow-draft facili- ties on upper channel include 12,500 linear feet of wharves of which 8,620 linear feet are privately operated, remainder operated by Stock- ton Port District. Port owns and operates belt-line railroad, which connects with three transcontinental railroads and serves all facilities in area. (For further description of terminal facilities, see Port Series 32, ports of Stockton and Sacramento, Calif., revised 1951.) Downstream from Stockton, traffic is accommodated by bank land- ings and sheds, except at Antioch and near Pittsburg, where there are wharves for shallow- and deep-draft vessels. Terminal transfer facilities at public ocean terminal of port of Stockton are adequate for present and immediate future. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging operations by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge resulted in removal of 103,900 cubic yards of material at mouth of Three Mile Slough. Construction of a spoil-area levee at permanent spoil area 9-S was completed by contract. Dredging San Joaquin River, Stock- ton Harbor to Spud Island, was initiated by contract suction dredge; 466,000 cubic yards of material were removed.

STOCKTON AND MORMON CHANNELS (DIVERTING CANAL), CALIF. Location. An artificial cut located about 3 miles east of Stockton, Calif., which extends from Mormon Slough northwesterly about 41/2 miles to intersect original Calaveras River Channel near northeast corner of city of Stockton. (See U.S. Geological Survey sheet, Stock- ton quadrangle.) Existing project. Provides for diverting waters of Mormon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels for purpose of pre- venting debris deposits in navigable portions of Stockton and Mormon Channels. Results were obtained by construction of: (a) A diversion dam across Mormon Slough; (b) a diverting canal 150 feet wide, extending 4.63 miles to north branch of Calaveras River; (c)enlarge- ment of Calaveras River to cross sectional area of 1,550 square feet, thence to its mouth at San Joaquin River, 5 miles; and (d) a levee along left banks of diverting canal and Calaveras River, using material excavated for channel enlargement. Total Federal cost of new work for project, completed in 1923 was $253,151. Average maintenance cost for past 5 years was $4,086. Improvement No. 13, Mormon Slough, Calaveras River, Calif., was authorized by Flood-Control Act of October 23, 1962. Since local interests have stated they would maintain diverting canal and lower Calaveras River after completion of project, Federal main- tenance of existing Stockton and Mormon Channels project (divert- ing canal) for navigation will be discontinued upon completion of Mormon Slough project. Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 152, 55th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report for 1899, p. 3188). Latest published map is in House Document 256, 63d Congress, 1st session. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details, see Annual Report for 1922, page 1816. Total estimated cost for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of project authorization, including required non-Federal contributions, were $30,700 (December 1898).

OROVILLE RESERVOIR, FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location. Oroville dam is on Feather River, a tributary of Sacra- mento River in Butte County, Calif., about 5 miles northeast of town of Oroville, and about 70 miles above mouth of Feather River. (See U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of area.) Existing project. Federal participation consists of a contribution toward first cost of Oroville Reservoir project, exclusive of cost of power facilities, in an amount commensurate with flood control bene- fits to be attained. Construction of improvement, currently underway by the State of California, will inundate Bidwell Bar Dam site, which dam was proposed as a Federal flood control project in House Docu- ment 367, 81st Congress, 1st session. In that document the Chief of Engineers recommended authorization of a reservoir with storage capacity of 1,200,000 acre-feet at Bidwell Bar site on Feather River or storage at a suitable alternate site. The Federal contribution is based on provision of a maximum of 750,000 acre-feet of reservoir storage space from mid-October to first of April for flood control operation of Oroville Reservoir. 1544 REPORT F OF ENGINEERS, T;8, ARMY, OF THE CIEF 1903 Oroville Reservoir is a multiple-purpose storage reservoir for municipal and industrial water supply, power generation, irrigation -flood control and other purposes. A 735-foot high earth and rockfill structure with a total length of 6,800 feet, creating a capacity of about 3,500,000 acre-feet. Included in improvement are power-generating facilities of 600,000 kilowatts capacity. Project is about 14 percent complete, including power facilities. Latest approved estimate of Federal contribution toward new work (July 1963) is $66 million exclusive of $375,000 incidental Federal costs for preauthorization studies and engineering costs inconnection with flood control reservation. Amount is based upon cost-allocation studies completed in fiscal year 1961 and approved by the President of the United States on January 10, 1962. Total Federal participation is based on 22 percent of actual construction cost exclusive of cost of power facilities; however, the Federal cost is limited to $85 million including actual Federal cost for engineering and administration of funds and existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958. Full monetary authorization for project was included in authorizing act. Local cooperation. In consideration of a Federal contribution to- ward first cost of Oroville Reservoir, a formal agreement, based upon cost-allocation studies completed in fiscal year 1961, was consum- mated with the State on March 8, 1962, and approved by Secretary of Army, April 19, 1962. Agreement provides for operation of Oro- ville Reservoir in such manner as will produce flood-control benefits upon which monetary contribution is predicated and operation of flood-control reservation in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by Secretary of the Army. State legislature appropriated $9 million during 1956 for advance planning on project. Initiation of relocations in May 1957 fulfilled proviso that authority for a Federal contribution would expire unless construction of dam and reservoir was started prior to July 1962. In November 1960, electorate of the State approved a $1,750 million bond issue to finance California water plan, such funds to be applied principally to Feather River project. Contract for Diversion Tunnel No. 1 was awarded in August 1961. Main dam contract was awarded in August 1962; embankment opera- tions were initiated January 25, 1963, but were interrupted by heavy rainfall during last week of January. First stage of construction of Oroville Dam powerplant was awarded during June 1963. Reservoir project is scheduled to be completed in calendar year 1968. Total estimated first cost to State of California for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of project authorization was $233,444,- 000 (July 1963) for construction of Oroville Dam and Reservoir, ex- clusive of power facilities. A total of about $104 million has been expended or obligated as of March 31, 1963, principally for acquisition of rights-of-way, relocation of railroad and highway facilities, and construction of dam and appurtenances. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering was con- tinued. Based on billings received from the State, initial Federal contribution of $13,950,000 was presented to the State by the District Engineer November 27, 1962. The State continued engineering and construction of project. Total Federal cost of new work for project FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1545 during the year was $13,993,013, of which $13,950,000 was direct Fed- eral contribution to local interests and $43,013 incidental Federal costs. Condition at end of fiscal year. Final cost allocation and formal contract for payment for flood-control storage have been approved. The State of California is continuing with construction of project. Project is about 25 percent complete, including power facilities, and scheduled for completion in calendar year 1968. Total Federal cost to June 30, 1963, for project was $14,095,529, of which $13,950,000 was direct Federal contribution to local interests and $145,529 inci- dental Federal costs.
