Terminal facilities. There are 35 waterfront facilities serving port of Bridgeport, all of which are used or in usable condition. Numerous handling facilities are predominant in every section of harbor. Although more than 70 .percent of total number of docks are marginal wharf-type structures in constricted water- ways, 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 wharves are owned by city of Bridgeport and three others may be used by pub- lic upon agreement with the owners or operators. (See Port and Terminal Facilities of Southern New England, No. 4, revised in 1952.) Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular funds, new work: Engineering and design studies, by hired labor, were RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION .11 performed for navigational improvements at Black Rock Harbor. Local authorities requested project design be reviewed to deter- mine whether an alternate and less costly structure can be ob- tained; and requested consideration of phasing construction of project features. Design studies were in progress at end of fiscal year. Costs were $8,259 for new work. Operations were commenced November 1963 in Johnsons River and consisted of dredging the 9-foot anchorage and two 6-foot anchorages, one at upper end of 9-foot channel and one at lower end, adjacent to 9-foot anchorage.

Construction of existing pro- ject was initiated in September and completed in October 1957, with dredging of a channel 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide from that depth in Chatham Roads to upper harbor. By 1961, a break in barrier beach connecting Morris and Monomoy Islands caused Federal Channel to fill in completely. Local interests dredged an emergency channel to obtain 8-foot depth in June 1962 and per- formed additional dredging in 1963. Minimal maintenance dredg- ing by the Federal Government in April and May 1964 provided access to inner harbor for 1964 boating season. Controlling depths at mean low water were 6.2 feet in 10-foot entrance channel into upper harbor (1964). Federal costs for existing project from regular funds were $258,816 for new work and $117,039 for maintenance. In addi- tion, $43,500 expended from contributed funds for new work.

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 modified to include project for Eightmile River, which was eliminated as a separate project. Aforemen- tioned act also provided for an anchorage basin 6 feet deep and about 6.5 acres in area in upper cove at Hamburg. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 19 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 con- struction of dikes, training walls, revetments, and accessory works; for two riprap stone 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 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 16 and 24 feet above mean low water. Maxi- mum recorded freshet at Hartford (March 1936) was 35.5 feet above mean low water. Below Middletown the height of crest of freshet decreases rapidly. Total estimated project cost is $1,574,- 000, of which non-Federal costs amount to $67;500. 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 esti- mate. Estimated Federal cost of this portion, revised in 1956, was $57,000. Major rehabilitation will be required for five bank re- vetments on Connecticut River below Hartford, Conn., from Glastonbury Upper Bar, mile 42 to Claybanks Upper Bar, mile 49. Studies are in progress. Latest approved estimated Federal cost of rehabilitation is $640,000.

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, suitable areas for disposal of dredged material during initial construction and for future maintenance as and when needed. Areas were furnished where required and it is understood that future requirements will be met. River and Harbor Act of 20 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 March 2, 1945, authorized 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 they will provide a suitable public land- ing in cove, at an estimated cost of $14,000. 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 in each town being open to public use. At Hartford and Middletown there is approximately one-half of wharf front- age along west bank of river. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular funds, main- tenance: Engineering studies were completed for maintenance dredging of 6 bars to 15 feet (Essex Shoal, Cobalt Shoal, Paper Rock Shoal, Dividend Bar, Naubuc Bar and Rock Tending Bar) Preparation of plans and specifications was completed and con- tract awarded for accomplishment of the work. Hopper dredge Hyde was employed at Saybrook Outer Bar and Saybrook Shoal from June 16 through 30, 1964. During the dredging process approximately 70,900 gross cubic yards ofordinary material were removed. Costs were $69,027. Condition surveys were conducted in June, October, December, January, April, and May 1964. Costs were $3,407. Major rehabilitation: Engineering studies were in progress for rebuilding five bank revetments on Connecticut River below Hartford from Glastonbury Upper Bar, mile 42, to Claybanks Upper Bar, mile 49. Condition at 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 chan- nel and anchorage in North Cove, Old Saybrook, Conn. Studies were in progress for major rehabilitation of five bank revetments from Glastonbury Upper Bar, mile 42, to Claybank Upper Bar, mile 49. Head of commercial navigation is at Hartford, 52 miles by channel from mouth. A dam at Holyoke, Mass., 34 miles above Hartford, completely interrupts navigation. Controlling depths at mean low water are generally 12.5 feet for midchannel width to Hartford (1960-1964) except 15 feet in 15-foot channels at Calves Island Bar (1964), Haddam Island Bar (1962), Sears Shoal (1962), Cromwell Bar (1964), and Hartford Bar (1963); 1 foot in entrance channel to North Cove (1938) ; 7 feet in chan- nel and basin in Eightmile River (1946) 1 to 6 feet in anchorage at Hamburg (1946).

SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS A coordinated system of flood control reservoirs has been es- tablished in each of the five major flood producing basins in New England Division. During periods of floodflows regulation of reservoirs is fully coordinated within each basin dependent upon its location in the basin, its storage capacity and origin of flood. Regulation within each basin during the fiscal year was as follows: Blackstone River Basin: No reservoir regulation was required. Connecticut River Basin: Reservoirs in Vermont were regulat- ed during ice jams in March 1964 utilizing 10 to 15 percent flood control storage. In April 1964, a minor flood occurred caused by rain and snowmelt. Most reservoirs were regulated utilizing generally 10 to 20 percent storage capacity. Maximum utilization of 34 percent occurred at Townshend Reservoir. Housatonic River Basin: No significant regulation was re- quired. Merrimack River Basin: In April 1964 all reservoirs were reg- ulated utilizing 12 to 15 percent flood control storage. Thames River Basin: Minor floods occurred in January, March, and April 1964 and some regulation was necessary but no signi- ficant storage was utilized. Releases were made from conserva- 124 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 tion storage at East Brimfield Reservoir to augment low flows in July, August, and September 1963. Total cost for reservoir regulation during fiscal year was $97,700. 66.

Breakwater is 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 130 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 low lake level is 93 feet above mean sea level. Level of the lake has varied from 0.6 foot below up to 8.8 feet above low lake level. Usual annual variation is 5.8 feet. Cost for new work for completed project was $706,414. Terminal facilities. Consist of bulkhead shore front and open pile and solid filled piers with total dockage of 6,520 feet. Of the terminals, 5 wharves, 2 piers, and 1 ferry slip are in use. Five terminals have railroad connections. Facilities are consid- ered adequate for present needs of commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for rehabilitation of the breakwater, work was commenced July 24, 1962, and was still in progress at end of fiscal year. During fiscal year 130,515 tons of stone were placed at a total cost of $578,608 including $2,285 for engineering preliminary to repairs for rehabilitation. Costs of $33 were incurred for reconnaissance surveys. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was prac- tically completed in 1890; part of breakwater originally proposed was not built, the work completed being considered sufficient for needs of navigation. Breakwater was 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 the breakwater were displaced by wave action and failure of the timbers in tops of wooden cribs. Controlling depth in August 1948 was about 10 feet at low lake level at the wharves, increasing considerably toward the 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.

Cost of new work for completed active portion of project was $503,969 (excluding $100,000 contributed funds). West jetty portion of project is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing description of existing project and cost estimate. Estimated cost of this por- tion last revised in 1954 was $806,000. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (H. Doc. 19, 71st Cong., 1st sess.). Latest pub- lished map is in project document. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1930 provides local interests contribute $100,000 to cost of work; give assur- ances they will provide and maintain interior channels suitable for navigation, not less than 12 feet deep, from East Rockaway Inlet to Hempstead-Oyster Bay line, a distance of about 15 miles, to Hewlett Harbor and to Freeport Harbor; furnish necessary land, easements and rights-of-way for construction and main- tenance of jetties, and agree to hold the United States free from damages. Assurances of compliance precedent to construction of en- trance channel and east jetty were approved by Chief of Engi- neers and Secretary of War on July 14 and 15, 1932, respectively. Local contribution of $100,000 was deposited to credit of the United States on August 23, 1932. Since construction of west jetty is not considered necessary at this time, easements, rights- of-way, and release of claims for damages necessary for construc- tion are not being secured. Terminal facilities. There are 33 terminals in Oceanside, Is- land Park, Long Beach, and East Rockaway. Eight of these are oil terminals-6 at Oceanside, one of which has a railroad spur, and 2 at Island Park. Other terminals consist of repair and mooring docks with a berthage of 3,150 feet. Of these 14 have marine railways and 1 has mechanical-handling facilities. There are public wharves at East Rockaway and Woodmere, and water- front on north side of Long Beach has been bulkheaded. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract to repair the jetty, work was commenced August 9 and com- pleted August 16, 1963. During the fiscal year, 798 tons of stone was placed in the jetty at a total cost of $18,411, including an adjustment of minus $907 for engineering preliminary to repairs for maintenance.

None within area immediately adjacent to Federal improvement. There are 42 commercial and pleasure boating terminals with a total berthage of 15,935 feet at Patch- ogue, Sayville, West Sayville, Islip, and Bay Shore. In addition, 49 boat repair and storage yards are along shores of Great South Bay and adjacent creeks. Facilities are ample for present and probable future needs. Operations and results during fiscal year. U.S. seagoing hop- per dredge Hyde and attendant plant were employed intermit- tently from May 1 to 15, 1964, in dredging to restore project channel to a depth of 10 feet. During fiscal year 10,700 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $60,021, including $6,048 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Costs of $70 were incurred for re- connaissance surveys. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under existing project was commenced June 1939. Jetty was completed in 1941 and in view of the fact that a survey made in November 1953, revealed existence of a channel with dimensions substantially the same as those authorized, work under existing project was considered complete November 1953. When last examined in May 1964, con- trolling mean low water depth was 10 feet for a width of 250 feet from deep water in the ocean to deep water within the inlet. Jetty has surpassed its capacity as a sand entrapping agent and when examined in October 1953, was found to be in fair condition.

Fully complied with as required by River and Harbor Act of 1927 except local interests are required to provide suitable spoil-disposal areas for maintenance dredging in 30-foot channel in Hackensack River above Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge; in 10-foot channel in Passaic River; and whenever required by Secretary of War, for dredging in 30-foot channel in Newark Bay and Hackensack River below Central Railroad of New Jersey bridge, as required by River and Harbor Act of September 22, 1922. River and Harbor Act of 1945 provides local interests agree to furnish lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for new work and subsequent maintenance, hold the United States free from damages, and provide and maintain suitable berthing areas at Port Newark Terminal. Assurances providing compliance with local cooperation requirements under this act were accepted by Chief of Engineers on March 22, 1950. In addi- tion, $285,600 was contributed by Port of New York Authority to cover cost of dredging berthing areas at Port Newark Termi- nal, which work was completed by the United States in conjunc- tion with excavation of project channel during 1951. It further provided, for 10-foot channel in Passaic River from Montclair & Greenwood Lake Railroad bridge to Eighth Street Bridge in Passaic, that when spoil-disposal areas are not available, or placing of dredge spoil ashore is uneconomical as compared with other methods of disposal, local interests shall not be required to fur- nish disposal areas for maintenance dredging. 158 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 River and Harbor Act of 1954 further provides local interests agree to furnish lands, easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for initial construction and future mainte- nance; provide depths commensurate with channel depth in approaches and berths at terminals of companies which would use improvement; and hold the United States free from damages. River and Harbor Act of 1962 provides that local interests must provide lands, easements and rights-of-way for maintenance and construction, hold the United States free from damages, provide and maintain adequate public terminal and transfer facilities, and provide and maintain depths in berthing areas at terminals. Assurances of compliance with the foregoing conditions were furnished by Port of New York Authority and accepted on June 12, 1964. Terminal facilities. Along waterways of this project there are 142 terminals with a total berthage of 58,276 feet as well as a large shipyard. Of these, Port Newark and Port Elizabeth which are leased and operated by Port of New York Authority, provide about 16,770 feet of wharfage. Fifty-seven terminals are equipped with mechanical-handling devices and 54 have rail- road connections. Six terminals aggregating a berthage of 1,789 feet are not used for waterborne commerce. Facilities are con- sidered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to restore a depth of 35 feet in the inshore channel at Port Newark, work was commenced February 24, 1964, and still in progress at end of fiscal year. During fiscal year 12,900 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a cost of $39,488, including $7,818 for engineering preliminary to maintenance. Costs of $4,182 were for a condition survey.

Minor modification of project in vicinity of Mussel Island, without change in cost, approved by Secretary of War, Mar. 22, 1920. 1 Contains latest published maps. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1919 requires that all land needed for right-of-way be furnished without cost to the United States, and provides that no work shall be done in Maspeth Creek, in removal of Mussel Island, or in English Kills until this has been done in each case and corresponding changes made in existing harbor lines; also that no work shall be under- taken under the existing project in Dutch Kills until the obstruc- tive bridges near its mouth have been suitably modified. River and Harbor Act of 1937 requires local interests furnish necessary easements or rights-of-way for enlargement of channel in English Kills above Metropolitan Avenue and give assurances they will remove obstructive deposits resulting from discharge of sewage into the waterway. That act also requires that before widening the second bend south of Metropolitan Avenue local interests furnish necessary lands or rights-of-way and construct a new bulkhead on widened channel. Lands needed in Maspeth Creek, Mussel Island, and the East Branch ceded to the United States by city of New York by deed. Work of modifying bridges near mouth of Dutch Kills was com- pleted in 1923. No action has been taken by city authorities to comply with requirements for dredging in English Kills (West Branch). Terminal facilities. Waterfront, measured along both sides of RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 161 improvement, is 11.6 miles long, of which 9.6 miles are bulk- headed and about 2 miles of frontage, distributed over entire length of this waterway, is yet underdeveloped. There are three piers with a' total berthage of 2,208 feet and 37,315 feet of bulkheads and wharves available for dockage. Of the terminals, 7 are owned by city of New York; 36 are equipped with mechan- ical-handling devices, and 27 have railroad connections. Facil- ities are considered adequate for present needs. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for removal of shoals to restore previous project depth, depths of 18 and 16 feet in East Branch, work was commenced January 15 and completed April 14, 1964. During fiscal year 27,768 cubic yards, place measurement, of material were removed at a total cost of $71,571, including $7,152 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under entire existing project is about 64 percent complete. Work under active portion of existing project was commenced May 1921 and completed December 1932. Enlarging main channel to 23-foot depth and 130-foot width from entrance to 150 feet north of Maspeth Ave- nue, including triangular area at entrance, and a turning basin at former location of Mussel Island, is about 90 percent com- plete. Dutch Kills has been dredged to project depth, 20 feet, for a width of 75 to 100 feet except at a few places near head of improvement where unstable bulkheads restricted dredging op- erations.

SUPERVISOR OF NEW YORK HARBOR Supervisor of New York Harbor is charged under Federal laws and statutes with the mission of preventing obstructive or injuri- ous deposits in the tidal waters of New York Harbor and its adjacent or tributary waters, including Long Island Sound, and prevention of anchorage in entrance channels of the harbor to promote safe navigation of deep-draft vessels. Federal laws enforced by the Supervisor of New York Harbor to accomplish his mission are: 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), 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 the Atlantic Ocean front circumscribed as fol- lows: Manasquan Inlet, N.J., to the south; Fire Island Inlet, N.Y., to the east; New London, Conn., to the northeast; Troy, N.Y., to the north, and Raritan River to New Brunswick, N.J., to the west. Area encompasses approximately 700 miles of water- ways, 1,600 miles of waterfront and 1,500 square miles of water surface area. Four patrol boats are utilized to accomplish water- ways inspections. Two boats maintain 24-hour, 7-day weekly patrols; one in the Lower Bay and the other in Long Island Sound, for the purpose of inspecting vessels carrying dredged or other types of waste material and inspecting disposal of these materials at established dumping grounds. These vessels per- form collateral patrolling of entrance channels and are responsi- ble for keeping channels clear of interference by fishing craft or other boats in order to ensure safe navigation of deep-draft ves- sels. Two other vessels patrol the inner waters, such as Hudson River, East River, Kill Van Kull, Arthur Kill, Passaic and Hack- ensack Rivers, on an 8-hour a day basis, 5 days a week, to prevent the illegal deposit of cellar dirt, ashes, industrial waste, oil or any other refuse into navigable waters or on the beach or shore areas where it may be subject to tidal action and become a hazard to navigation. Inspections of shorefront facilities, such as industrial plants, oil refineries and shipyards are conducted by personnel RIVERS AND HARBORS - -NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 177 utilizing Government vehicles to determine disposition of waste or refuse to ensure that this material is not being discharged into navigable waters.

STATEN ISLAND RAPID TRANSIT RAILWAY COMPANY BRIDGE ACROSS ARTHUR KILL, N.Y. Location. Crosses Arthur Kill, New York and New Jersey Channels approximately 1.5 miles south of Newark Bay and con- nects Elizabeth, 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 inade- quate horizontal clearances which present a serious obstruction and hazard to navigation. New bridge provides 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 eliminates center pier and leaves a clear and unobstructed channel 500 feet wide. Center of new span is 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 1964). Estimated cost to local interests is $1,635,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Administrative work in connection with several adjustments and payments re- quested by the railway company were underway. No costs were incurred. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was operationally com- pleted, first train crossed new bridge August 1959. Construction under contract No. 1 for substructure was completed August 1958. Construction under contract No. 2 for superstructure was com- pleted December 1959. Work under terminated contract No. 3 and subsequent new contract, for demolition of structures and construction of fender system was completed in August 1962.

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 Hempstead Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 578 and 579.) Existing project. Provides for Federal participation in resto- ration 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 ini- tially 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 bene- fits, 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 cur- rent estimates of maintenance costs which can be justified for navigation project and experience with maintenance require- ments. 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 navigation 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 $2,875,000 (July 1964). Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1958 (H. Doc. 411, 84th Cong., 2d sess.), and modified by River and Harbor Act of 1962. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1958 provides 182 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 local interests obtain approval by Chief of Engineers, prior to commencement 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 polution that would endanger health of bathers will not be permitted; assure maintenance of recommended project during its useful life as may be required to insure realization of anticipated benefits; and assure continued 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, 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 mod- ification to agreement enabled construction by Federal Govern- ment 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, which included $152,880 (42 percent of $364,000) specifically for repay- ment of Federal share of cost. Necessary 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 $2,403,000 (July 1964). Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for dredging to accomplish the second increment, work was com- menced June 30, 1964, and was still in progress at end of fiscal year. Costs were $323,052, including $9,345 for engineering pre- liminary to dredging and excluding $151,096 regular contributed funds, for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. First dredging operation is complete at a cost of $1,124,826, exclusive of $1,553,331 required contributed funds. Second dredging operation is now underway with an estimated completion date of December 1964.

RARITAN BAY AND SANDY HOOK BAY, N.J. Location. Area included under this project comprises approxi- mately 21 miles of coast in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, N.J., and is about 30 miles southwest of New York City. It ex- tends along Raritan and Sandy Hook Bays between entrances to 192 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Raritan River on the west and Shrewsbury River on the east. Sandy Hook, N.J., a low-lying peninsula on the east, separates Atlantic Ocean from Sandy Hook Bay. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 70, 286, 369, 375, 824, 1000, 1108, 1215; and U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of South Amboy, Keyport and Sandy Hook.) Existing project. Provides for Federal participation in con- structing levees, beach fill, interior drainage facilities and groins to serve dual purposes of beach erosion control and hurricane protection. For Madison Township section, combined shore and hurricane protection improvement provides for: about 1.7 miles of beach fill at elevations of 5.5, 10 and 15 feet above mean sea level; about 0.4 mile of tieback levees at 15 feet above mean sea level; and interior drainage facilities. Shore protection improve- ment is provided for Matawan Township and Borough of Union Beach sections, including about 0.9 mile of beach fill at elevations of 5.5 and 10 feet above mean sea level for Matawan, and about 0.6 mile of beach fill at 5.5 feet above mean sea level for Union Beach. In Borough of Keansburg and East Keansburg, hurri- cane protection is provided, including about 2.7 miles of beach fill and 2.5 miles of tieback levees at an elevation of 15 feet above mean sea level; interior drainage facilities; and three groins. Authorization also provides local interests be reimbursed $57,000 as Federal share of costs incurred by them for accomp- lishing beach protection at Keansburg in 1957. Total estimated Federal cost is $5,382,000 (July 1964) which includes $57,000 reimbursement to local interests. Total esti- mated non-Federal cost for all requirements of local cooperation is $3,028,000, including $2,555,000 cash contribution. Project cost estimate reflects the cost sharing provisions of River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, which modified Fed- eral participation to extent of one-half of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature, in lieu of one-third previously authorized by Public Law 727, 79th Congress. These new provisions, re- sulted in increase in Federal participation from about 64.8 per- cent as originally contemplated, to about 66.4 percent of estimated project cost exclusive of reimbursable completed work at Keans- burg. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962 (H. Doc. 464, 87th Cong., 2d sess.). Latest published map is in project document. Local cooperation. Flood Control Act of 1962 requires that, prior to initiating construction, local interests give assurances they will: (a) Provide all lands, easements, and rights-of-way, including borrow areas, necessary for construction; (b) accom- plish all alterations and relocations of buildings, streets, storm drain, utilities and other structures made necessary by construc- tion; (c) bear percentage of total first cost for each segment (as shown in table 1 page 3, H. Doc. 464, 87th Cong., 2d sess.), to consist of items in (a) and (b) above and a cash contribution to be paid either in alumnr sum prior to initiation of construction or in installments prior tG commencement of pertinent items, in accordance with construction schedules as required by Chief of FLOOD CONTROL-NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 193 Engineers, final apportionment of cost to be made after actual costs and values are determined; (d) hold the United States free from damages; (e) maintain all works after completion; (f) maintain during economic life of project continued public owner- ship of non-Federal publicly owned shores and continued avail- ability for public use of privately owned shore equivalent to that upon which recommended Federal participation is based; (g) control water pollution to extent necessary to safeguard health of bathers; (h) obtain approval of Chief of Engineers of detailed plans and specifications for work contemplated and arrangements for its prosecution, prior to commencement of any work on recom- mended beach protection phase of project at Matawan Township and Borough of Union Beach or beach protection phase of proj- ect at Madison Township for which Federal participation is planned, if undertaken separately from recommended combined improvement; (i) construct, concurrently with recommended beach fill, suitable parking fields and bathhouses open to all on equal terms; and (5) at least annually inform interests affected that hurricane improvements will not provide substantial pro- tection from bay surges higher in elevation than that of Hurri- cane Donna, September 12, 1960. Cost apportionment prescribed by (c) above was revised by 1962 River and Harbor Act pertinent to beach erosion control benefits, resulting non-Federal share being 33.6 percent of esti- mated project cost exclusive of $57,000 Federal reimbursement. Agency responsible for local cooperation is State of New Jersey. Assurances executed by State of New Jersey were accepted for the United States by the District Engineer on April 11, 1963. On September 3, 1963, the State of New Jersey furnished $428,- 000 in contributed funds to cover its required share of the estimated costs of Madison Township section in full, and for Keansburg and East Keansburg section in part. Additional con- tributions will be forthcoming as construction progresses, upon request. By resolution dated December 2, 1963, Matawan Township de- clined to participate in the project at the present time; State of New Jersey then requested that construction of Matawan Township section be deferred for inclusion in a later contract. Lands, easements, and rights-of-way for 12 parcels required for construction in Madison Township have been furnished, with the remaining 2 under acquisition by condemnation.

Local interests have given formal assurance that terms of local cooperation will be complied with. Terminal facilities. Port of Baltimore consists of 46 miles of waterfront, 30 miles of which are developed. There are 271 piers, wharves, and docks in Baltimore Harbor with depths in berthing areas ranging up to 40 feet at mean low water. Most deep- draft shipping, other than that handled at wharves of the nu- merous industrial plants, is concentrated at modern ocean ter- minals operated by three truckline railroads, the Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Western Maryland; and by a terminal railroad, the Canton. All of these terminals are equipped with depressed or apron tracks permitting transfer of cargoes directly between ship and car. Facilities also are provided at rail ter- minals for receipt and delivery of motor truck freight. Rail- roads, with tracks extending to all portions of port area, have voluntarily granted 5 days free time on piers to truck freight on both imports and exports. Supporting yards for railroad ter- minals can accommodate 11,800 cars and combined ground stor- age capacity is 32,250 cars. Major facilities in port include 3 grain elevators with a capacity of approximately 13 million bushels, 15 modern ore cranes with a rated unloading capacity of more than 11,000 tons per hour, 30 public general-merchandise warehouses, 3 modern cold-storage facilities, 4 coal piers, 28 oiff- handling and bunkering terminals, 2 refining plants, and 12 ship- building and ship repair yards. Shipbuilding and repair yards are equipped with facilities for handling every type of vessel construction, conversion, and repair. Facilities include 11 ship- ways ranging from 150 to 650 feet long, 7 floating drydocks with RIVERS AND HARBORS - BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 249 lifting capacities of from 6,000 to 22,000 tons, 2 graving docks and 15 marine railways in addition to numerous outfitting piers and shops. All piers are accessible by adequate paved highways. A municipally owned beltline railway some 3 miles long encircles upper end of inner harbor and connects tracks of Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Western Maryland Railroads.

Prolonged high winds on Chesapeake Bay frequently cause greater fluctuations. Estimated cost for new work, revised in 1964, is $942,000, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. Extension of channel above bridge at Snow Hill, 100 feet wide, 9 feet deep and widened to 150 feet to form a turning basin at upper end, is considered inactive portion of project and ex- cluded from foregoing estimate. Estimated cost of this portion, last revised in 1956, was $22,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for section of project from Pocomoke Sound to Pocomoke River and from Shad Land- ing to highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized by acts of June 3, 1896, and August 30, 1935, except local interests are to furnish releases from damage to oyster beds and spoil-disposal areas as required for future maintenance. The terms of local cooperation for section of project above highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized by act of March 2, 1945, required local interests furnish all lands, easements, rights- of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for initial work and future main- tenance, hold the United States free from claims for damages resulting from improvement; and contribute one-half the initial cost of that portion of project, but not to exceed $4,250. This portion of project is considered inactive. Terms of local cooperation for 11-foot depth channel from Pocomoke Sound to deep water in Pocomoke River above Williams Point authorized by act of September 3, 1954, require local in- terests provide all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-dis- posal areas necessary for construction and future maintenance of project; and hold the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance, including such damages as may occur to public or leased oyster beds. It is believed that these conditions will be met. " Terminal facilities. Waterfronts at Pocomoke City and Snow Hill are built up principally with earthfilled timber bulkheads, majority of which are privately owned. A few of the warehouses and factories on the river at these communities have railroad sidings and mechanical freighthandling facilities. Any ap- preciable increase in commerce at Pocomoke City or Snow Hill would necessitate construction of new facilities and repair of existing structures. Adequate space is available for development of additional terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredg- ing, by contract, to restore authorized dimensions in "The Muds" section of the project began April 12, and was completed April 24, 1964. A total of 23,600 cubic yards of material, place measure, was removed and deposited ashore in authorized spoil-disposal areas, for $25,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 19 percent complete. Work remaining to be done is construction of channel 11 feet deep from Pocomoke Sound to Pocomoke River above Williams Point, and extension of dike along south side of channel to Tulls Point.

The waterchestnut, botanically known as Trapa natans, is an annual fresh water plant infesting navigable por- tions 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 Washing- ton; irregular, 2 feet at Maryland Point and 4.5 feet at Wash- ington; extreme, approximately 7.5 feet at Maryland Point and 10.7 feet at Washington. Estimated Federal cost to 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.

Flooding was again experienced from Susquehanna River and tributaries in New York and Pennsylvania during March 1964. On night of March 4th, rainfall up to 1.5 inches fell on portions of the watershed having snow cover containing 2 to 4 inches of water content. Unseasonably warm temperatures on March 5th caused snow melt aggravating the sharp rises which generally crested on March 6th at North Branch and West Branch stations and on March 7th at Main Stem Susquehanna River stations. Rainfall on evening of March 8th of 0.5 inch to about 0.75 inch was sufficient to cause a second rise on the headwater streams while major tributaries were still falling. During night of March 9th, an additional 2 inches of rainfall over the West Branch caused another general rise which crested March 10th and 11th. With exception of Indian Rock Dam, the gates at all flood con- trol dams in the District were operated and reductions of flood crests were effected at damage centers downstream. Towns of Renovo, Lock Haven, Muncy, and Milton on the West Branch were reported to have received the greatest damage. A preliminary estimate indicates that the four flood control reservoirs in New York State prevented damages in excess of $17 million and the three in Pennsylvania prevented damages of about $14 million. Federal maintenance responsibilities were carried out as re- quired. Local interests, where required, carried out maintenance responsibilities in accordance with flood control regulations pre- scribed by Secretary of the Army and explanatory instructions contained in respective operation and maintenance manuals.

MAINTENANCE, OPERATION, AND CAPITAL OUTLAY OF WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT Location. Diversion dam and raw-water supply intakes are on the Potomac River at Great Falls 131/2 miles northwest of Wash- ington, D.C.; the two collecting conduits, part of Dalecarlia re- ceiving reservoir, and booster pumping plant that lifts water from forebay to main body of Dalecarlia reservoir and Little Falls raw-water supply works are in Maryland; and all other structures of water supply system including part of raw-water collecting system, purification plants, pumping station, storage reservoirs, and transmission mains are in the District of Colum- bia (See U.S. Geological quadrangle, Washington and vicinity). Control of water supply system is vested in Chief of Engineers (See acts of March 3, 1859, and March 2, 1867, and sec. 1800 of revised statutes). Existing project. Provides for administration, operation, maintenance, and protection of water supply system facilities and reservations including collection, purification, pumping, transmission, storage facilities, and Federal water mains; and planning and construction of increased supply facilities (See Annual Report for 1962 for authorization). Public Law 378, 64th Congress; Public Law 119, 69th Con- gress, and Public Law 118, 80th Congress; authorized supplying water to adjacent Maryland areas, Arlington County and Falls Church, Va., respectively. For description of District of Columbia water supply system and of previous capital improvement and operation and main- tenance projects see Annual Report for 1930, information pam- phlet published June 1939 and revised December 1950, and House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. Prior to July 1, 1880, expenses of Wash- ington 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 main- tenance were paid one-half by the United States and the other 304 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 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 District of Columbia from water rents with 3 percent interest. 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 one-half from the U.S. Treasury. From July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1927, expenses of construction were paid 60 percent out of gen- eral revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent by the United States. From July 1, 1927, to date, all expenses for con- struction have been paid out of water revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1916, to date, the expenses of operation and maintenance have been paid wholly out of water revenues of the District of Columbia. From April 1953 to June 30, 1964, $22,100,000 was borrowed from the U.S. Treasury, in install- ments, to finance expansion and improvement of the District of Columbia water system as authorized by Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, as amended by Public Law 364, 83d Con- gress, 2d session. Public Law 280, 66th Congress, 2d session, appropriated $25,000 wholly from U.S. revenues to prepare, among other things, a report to assure an increased and adequate water supply for the District of Columbia. This "Tyler" report, was the basis for improvements constructed from 1922 to 1927 . Included in the District of Columbia appropriation acts of 1941 and 1942, $40,000 was appropriated from the water fund, District of Col- umbia, for preparation of a report "for the development of a plan to insure an adequate future water supply for the District of Columbia." This report, published as House Document 480, 79th Congress, 2d session, contains 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 contri- buted to support of the District of Columbia but, prior to July 1, 1947, no part of such annual percentage or lump sum contribu- tion 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 authorized for water consumed by the Federal Government. Public Law 364, 83d Congress, 2d session, provided payment by the United States for all water and water services furnished, and increased authority for borrowing. Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2d session, authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to lend, with a limit of $23 million, to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia such sums as may hereafter be appropriated to finance expansion and improve- ment of the water system when sufficient funds therefor are not available from the District of Columbia Water Fund established by law (D.C. code 1940 edition, title 1943 ch 15.) 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 MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES---BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT 305 and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia; Arlington County, and Falls Church, Va.; and Federal establishments in Arlington County, Va., and Montgomery and Prince Georges County, Md. Total con- sumption for the year was 62,210,075,000 gallons; the maxi- mum daily consumption was. 259,334,000 gallons and average daily consumption was 170,439,000 gallons. Based upon estimated average number of consumers of 880,000 in the District of Colum- bia and 229,000 in Arlington County and Falls Church, Va., average per capita daily consumption was 154 gallons. Average daily consumption in the District of Columbia alone was 142, 957,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 162 gallons. Average daily amount of water furnished to Ar- lington County and Falls Church, Va., was 27,200,000 gallons or an average per capita daily consumption of 119 gallons. Gross cost of $1,062,515 for supply of water furnished Virginia com- munities was reimbursed to the water fund, District of Columbia. Average daily consumption of water in all Federal establishments including parks, zoological garden, etc., was 33,337,000 gallons. A total of 103,011,000 gallons or an average of 282,000 gallons per day was delivered to Maryland communities during fiscal year 1964 by the Water Division, D.C., through connections to Wash- ington Suburban Sanitary Commissions system. On June 23, 1952, fluoridation equipment was put in service and application of sodium silicofluoride started and continued through February 1964 when the use of hydro-fluosilicic acid was started. Average turbidity of raw water from the Potomac River was reduced from 39.0 to 0.6 parts per million gallons. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 140,631 tubes of water taken from 209 sampling points in the collection, purification, and dis- tribution systems. After sterilization of the filter effluent, average most probable number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was found to be .003 at Dalecarlia and .003 at McMillan filter plant. Average calcium carbonate alkalinity of the filtered water was 67 parts per million gallons and the average pH value was 7.9 from Dalecarlia filter plant, and 65 and 7.9, respectively, from McMillan filter plant. Average hardness was 116 parts per million gallons from Dalecarlia and 115 parts per million gallons from McMillan. Fluorine content of 4,352 water samples was determined. In fiscal year 1964, direct operating cost of water treated and delivered to system per million gallons was $46.96 as compared with cost of $45.98 per million gallons in fiscal year 1963.

SUPERVISION OF HARBOR OF HAMPTON ROADS, VA. (PREVENTION OF OBSTRUCTIVE AND INJURIOUS DEPOSITS) Laws enacted for preservation of Harbor of Hampton Roads, Va., its adjacent and tributary waters, so much of Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries as lies within State of Virginia, and so much of the Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries as lies within jurisdiction of the United States, within or to the east of the State of Virginia, are administered by the Supervisor of the Har- bor of Hampton Roads. Laws relating to supervision of Harbor of Hampton Roads are the act of Congress 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) and as amended August 28, 1958 (72 Stat. 970); act of Congress of March 3, 1899 (Refuse Act, 30 Stat. 1152); act of Congress of June 7, 1924 (Oil Pollution Act, 43 Stat. 604) ; and act of Congress of August 30, 1961 (Oil Pollu- tion Act, 75 Stat. 402). Supervision was exercised by means of two patrol vessels for 24 boat-months and 36 man-months of shore patrol and inspec- tion. Commercial airplanes were utilized to patrol the Hampton Roads and Norfolk Harbor areas and offshore from beaches along Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay especially during beach re- sort season. Patrols were maintained to detect illegal deposit into navigable 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 notices, and personal interviews with interested agencies, committees, and private industries. Circular letters were forwarded to fuel oil firms, rail- road companies, shipping companies and agencies, enlisting their support in the antipollution campaign. Agreements have been reached with various Federal, State and local agencies having related or similar responsibilities and func- tions to obtain maximum results with minimum costs by elimi- nating duplication of effort. Total cost of all work during the fiscal year, including cost of operating patrol vessels and cars, airplane rental, inspections, and 334 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Kerr and Philpott Reservoir projects, Roanoke River Basin, Va. and N.C. Both projects began the fiscal year with the reservoirs 1.5 feet below rule curve. Even though releases were limited to flows required to meet minimum power commitments, both reservoirs continued to fall until Kerr reached a low of 281.89 feet on December 31, 1963, and Philpott reached a low of 928.07 feet on January 3, 1964. Kerr refilled to rule curve by early February and remained near rule curve the remainder of the year. Philpott refilled throughout last half of fiscal year 1964 and was 16 feet below rule curve on June 30. The Corps was requested to provide increased minimum stages at Weldon, N.C., during the striped bass spawning season. Request was for a minimum of 13 feet for 39 days and 15 feet for 16 days. A minimum stage of 13 feet was actually provided for 25 days and 15 feet for 5 days. All inflows to the reservoirs were controlled with normal power operation so flood control operation was not necessary. Total cost of functional operation for fiscal year 1964 was $745,327 for John H. Kerr and $290,410 for Philpott. 39. SURVEYS Cost of work for fiscal year was $217,206, of which $35,253 was for navigation studies, $90,813 for flood control studies, $2,654 for beach erosion cooperative studies, $88,029 for special (hurricane) studies, and $457 for coordination studies with Soil Conservation Service. 40.

S. ARMY, 1964 Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys of hyacinth and alligatorweed and other obnoxious aquatic plants were made to provide information for a summary report on the project in addition to normal field and office studies and planning. Fiscal year costs were $6,600. Coordination of project planning in the State of Georgia is responsibility of Savannah District. Efforts made to obtain State legislation needed for its active participation have been unsuccessful to date. The State endeavored to secure assurances and participation on a county basis through its rep- resentative, Director of the Georgia Game and Fish Commission. No definite information regarding such contacts has been re- ceived. The State is currently reviewing a proposed contract for State participation. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Project completed in 1960 cost $3,420,143, excluding $10,000 contributed by local interests and $13,600 for preauthorization study. Existing project was authorized by six River and Harbor Acts between 1879 and 1950. In general, current project is covered by River and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 110, 81st Cong., 1st sess.). For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Complied with to date. Terminal facilities. This improvement is served by 26 wharves and piers, almost all privately owned, having a berthing space of 11,444 feet. In addition, the Port of Brunswick and the State of Georgia constructed a transit shed and modern docks with 1,500 feet of aprons on East River at a cost of over $1,300,000. For further details see Port Series No. 16, Corps of Engineers (revised 1954). Operationsand results during fiscal year. Maintenance: U.S. pipeline dredge Henry Bacon did maintenance dredging in East River during period October 21 to November 8, 1963, and April 7 to May 10, 1964, removing 598,917 cubic yards of material at a cost of $227,589. U.S. hopper dredge Gerig did maintenance dredging during period February 11 to March 3, 1964, removing 423,093 cubic yards of material from bar channel and removing 36,749 cubic yards of material from St. Simons Sound at a cost of $167,158. Design of spoil dikes cost $605. Credits amounted to $5,537. Over expenditures from fiscal year 1963 amounted to $14,409. Rapid shoaling in East River has existed since channel deepen- ing to 30 feet in June 1959. Investigations and studies of exces- sive shoaling continued, which included velocity, salinity, tem- perature, and sediment measurement in East River, Turtle River, and Brunswick River, flow direction observations in East River, and studies of dredging methods. Studies of shoaling rates and dredging methods indicate maintenance dredging should be per- formed by Government plant until studies are completed, in order that data can be developed and unpredictable shoaling can be expeditiously dredged. Routine condition surveys, Government supervision and administration, and special investigations for model requirements cost $28,159. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in December 1960. General condition of harbor works is satisfactory providing maintenance dredging continues. Mini- mum readings of authorized project depths were: In 32-foot channel, 30 feet on St. Simon Range; in 30-foot channel, 27 feet on Brunswick Cut Point Range; in 27-foot channel, 18 feet above Second Avenue.

The second contract for diking spoil areas, opposite and below city of Savannah under dike construction program approved Jan- uary 1962, was commenced July 1, 1963. During the year, 4,350 feet of dikes were constructed to an elevation of 15 feet above mean low water in area 12 and 2,000 feet of dikes were con- structed to an elevation of 12 feet above mean low water in area 13--B, at a cost of $221,035. Construction of spoil dikes by Gov- ernment plant dragline cost $59,363. Dragging and sweeping the inner harbor cost $5,881. Permanent installed 24-inch pipe- line cost $352,802, less $9,555 owed revolving fund. To minimize agitation, dredges have been operated with slow cutter speed and adjusted swing speed. Due to lack of instrumen- tation 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. Construction of permanent pipelines across Hutchin- son Island was completed. These pipelines are connected to diked spoil areas across Back River with recently purchased 24-inch pontoon pipelines. Savannah Harbor model Testing program which included addi- tional tests of the closure of South Channel continued. Tests of Back River sediment traps, sediment trap-tide gate plan with the 38- by 500-foot channel, and Back River salinity investiga- tions were completed.

REMOVING WATER-HYACINTH FROM NAVIGABLE WATERS IN STATE OF FLORIDA Location. Water-hyacinth is found in fresh-water streams and lakes in various parts of the district. Existing project. Provides for destruction or removal of water-hyacinth in navigable waters of the State so far as they constitute an obstruction to navigation and commerce, using any mechanical, chemical, or other means not injurious to cattle, and use of log booms to close sloughs and backwaters as an auxiliary means. No estimated final cost of work has been made. Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1899 (H. Doc. 91, 55th Cong., 3d sess.) ; June 13, 1902; and March 3, 1905. For further details, see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and resultsa during fiscal year. Maintenance: Spraying operations conducted as follows: 3,602 acres sprayed, St. Johns River and tributaries, cost $59,065; 1,025 acres sprayed, Okeechobee Waterway and tributaries, cost $8,162; and super- vision and administration cost $9,087. Condition at end of fiscal year. This project is for mainte- nance. During the year 4,627 acres of hyacinths were sprayed in approximately 2,000 miles of waterways. Hyacinth infestation is widespread over Lake Okeechobee. There are currently about 5,000 acres of hyacinth on the lake. New canal construction in the Kissimmee River has allowed the 434 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 plants to flow into Lake Okeechobee increasing the infestation. Spraying in upper reaches of the Kissimmee has started under Aquatic Plant Control Program and should progress downstream to Lake Okeechobee. The hyacinth in all other navigation channels are under control. This program combined with Aquatic Plant Control Program is producing excellent results.

Features completed under previous navi- gation project for Okeechobee Waterway and being maintained under this project are: (a) Levee about 68 miles long following in general the south shore of Lake Okeechobee and north shore levee 15.8 miles long; (b) spillways at Ortona and St. Lucie locks; part time operation of Moore Haven lock gates for discharge con- trol; 5 hurricane gates; 20 gated drainage culverts around Lake Okeechobee; 16 spillways along St. Lucie Canal and radio-tele- phone network. Features completed under existing project to be maintained with operation and maintenance funds are levees 48, 49, and 50- total length of 38 miles--and spillway structures S-10, S-11, S-42, and S-18. 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 reg- ulation 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 Okeechobee which were at about desired levels at start of fiscal year dropped steadily during summer and fall as a result of rain- fall which was only slightly above half of normal for the first 5 months of the year. During this same normally wet period 446 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 which should have produced 1,200,000 acre-feet of net water sup- ply to the lake (or over 85 percent of annual total) there was an actual loss of 240,000 acre-feet in the excess of evaporation over inflow and rainfall. With slightly above normal rainfall during the remainder of the year, the lake gradually rose until it was again about at the desired level at end of year. Since lake was below the regulation schedule for all except a few weeks at the start and end of the year, there were no regulatory releases from it during the fiscal year. In fact, none have been required since July 1961. About 478,000 acre-feet of water was supplied from the con- servation storage in Lake Okeechobee to maintain stages in pro- ject canals and supply irrigation water to over 400,000 acres of farmlands. Conservation area No. 1 was also below schedule during the first half of the year but some releases to conservation area No. 2 were required periodically beginning in March and a total of 92,000 acre-feet were released through structure 10 when area No. 1 rose above schedule. About 133,000 acre-feet of water came from this pool to maintain desirable stages in the area east of the pool. Conservation area No. 2 remained below schedule until May. Releases through structure 11 of 88,000 acre-feet assisted some- what in maintaining some water in conservation area No. 3. Conservation area No. 3 again failed to fill to desired minimum level and averaged almost 3 feet below schedule all year. An at- tempt was made beginning in April to share available water with Everglades National Park by opening structure 12 but dis- charge through the structure was minimal due to lack of water. (b) Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District: Completed canals, structures, and pumping stations were operated by the 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 439,000 acre-feet of water were pumped from developed areas into Lake Okeechobee and the conservation areas. This pumping, plus water released from Lake Okeechobee and the conservation areas during dry periods resulted in large benefits throughout the agricultural and east coast areas. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was about 43 percent complete. Planning for entire project was begun in November 1948 and has been continued.

ALABAMA-COOSA RIVERS, ALA. AND GA. Location. Alabama River is formed 18 miles above Mont- gomery, Ala., by junction of Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers. Thence it flows southwesterly through Alabama 318 miles, and unites with Tombigbee River about 45 miles north of Mobile, in south- western Alabama, to form Mobile River. (See U.S. Geological Survey maps for central and southwest Alabama.) Coosa River is formed at Rome, Ga., in northwest Georgia, by junction of Oostanaula and Etowah Rivers, which have their sources in southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. From Rome the Coosa River flows southwesterly through Georgia and Alabama 286 miles, and unites with Tallapoosa River near Mont- gomery, Ala., at about the center of the State, to form the Ala- bama River. (See U.S. Geological Survey maps for northeast Ala- bama, southeast Tennessee, and northwest Georgia.) Previous projects.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction on Carters Dam was initiated in April 1962 and on Millers Ferry lock and dam in April 1963. Site selection and other studies are underway on Jones Bluff and Claiborne locks and dams. Maintenance operations on Alabama River, since authorization of existing project, have been limited mainly to periodic dredging to restore 4-foot open- channel depth from mouth to Wetumpka as provided for under previous projects. Maintenance operations on Coosa River, which were discontinued in 1950, consisted mainly of the care of Gov- ernment property at locks and dams which had been constructed under previous projects. These locks and dams have been inopera- tive for some years and no longer serve any useful purpose. Inspections of lower Alabama River in 1955 indicated a cbntrol- ling depth of 4 feet from mouth to Claiborne. Boats drawing 3 feet can usually operate throughout the year; greater depths are usually available from November to June. Since all existing locks on river are inoperative, through navigation on Coosa River is impossible. Costs for existing project to June 30, 1964, were $9,408,533, including $9,242,800 for new work, $104,077 for maintenance of existing channel in Alabama River (4-foot project), $19,263 for operating and care of locks and dams on Coosa River (care of lockmasters' houses and other Government property at lock sites prior to 1950 when this activity was discontinued), and $42,393 for reservoir regulation and preparation of a reservoir regulation manual for Weiss Dam.

S. ARMY, 1964 A. ALLATOONA RESERVOIR, COOSA RIVER BASIN, GA. Location. Dam is on Etowah River in Bartow County, Ga., about 48 miles upstream from Rome, Ga., about 5 miles due east of Cartersville, Ga., and about 2,000 feet downstream from mouth of Allatoona Creek. Reservoir extends about 28 miles up Etowah River at maximum power-pool elevation of 840 feet above mean sea level. Existing project. Provides for a dam and reservoir for flood control, regulation of streamflow for navigation, and development of hydroelectric power. Height above river bottom of concrete gravity-type dam is about 190 feet, from elevation 690 feet to 880 feet above mean sea level. Spillway, with crest at elevation 835, is controlled by nine tainter gates, 40 feet wide by 25 feet high, and two tainter gates 20 feet wide by 25 feet high; it has a dis- charge capacity of 318,500 cubic feet per second with water sur- face at elevation 870.1. One 48-inch diameter sluicing conduit with free discharge valve, and four sluices 5 feet 8 inches wide by 10 feet high, are included in dam. Installed generating capacity consists of two 36,000 kilowatt units and one 2,000 kilowatt unit, or a total of 74,000 kilowatts. Ultimate installed capacity will be 110,000 kilowatts. The reservoir, covering 19,200 acres at eleva- tion 860, has a storage capacity of 671,000 acre-feet. Cost was $31,425,000, excluding an estimated (1964) $940,400 for addition of recreation facilities at completed project (Code 710 funds). This project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of August 18, 1941 and December 22, 1944, as outlined in House Document 674, 76th Congress, 3d session.

Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas for construction and future maintenance; make necessary alterations to pipelines, cables, and other facilities; dredge and maintain connecting 12- by 125-foot channel, Golden Meadow to auxiliary channel; construct, maintain, and operate a pontoon bridge across this channel were required; and hold the United States free from damages. Chief of Engineers authorized construction of independent items of project, excluding auxiliary channel, since property owners and local interests were dissatisfied with original aline- ment of proposed auxiliary channel and recommended an alter- nate alinement. Assurances received and accepted on conditions of local cooperation, except connecting channel covering all items in proj- ect except auxiliary channel. Local agency and property owners agreed to alinement of auxiliary channel in May 1964, and re- mainder of assurances were requested from the local agencies. There are an estimated 188 tracts in entire project. Deeds and 512 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 title evidence covering the 20 tracts from Leeville to Gulf of Mexico were furnished but considerable curative work remains to be completed. This segment has been constructed. Deeds to local agency covering 27 tracts and deed to United States covering one tract from Leeville to Golden Meadow were obtained by local agency. No evidence submitted covering remaining 30 tracts in this segment. No evidence submitted to indicate any acquisition in either the 105 tracts from Leeville to Grand Isle or estimated 5 tracts in auxiliary channel. Local agency and Congressional delegations were notified March 31, 1964, of transfer of funds because of unavailability of rights-of-way. Terminal facilities. There are numerous private warehouses, wharves, and stiff-leg derricks for handling cane along bayou. At Lockport, Barker Barge Line has a barge wharf with covered shed, and Southern Pacific Railroad maintains a large wharf with covered shed. At Golden Meadow each of the seafood can- neries has docking facilities suitable for its needs. Four oil com- panies have docks at Leeville for transferring production of Leeville oilfields to barges. Terminal facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Hired labor forces removed rock from Belle Pass jetty channel and placed on low area of jetty for 442 linear feet from July 30 to August 21, 1963, and carried on real estate activities, investiga- tions, and studies. Construction of 12- by 125-foot channel in Bayou Lafourche from Leeville to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico, in progress at start of fiscal year, was completed September 11, 1963, with 1,548,552 cubic yards removed this fiscal year in completing channel for 8.8 miles, with costs of $192,601. Maintenance: Hired labor carried on reconnaissance surveys. A total of 74,490 cubic yards of shoaled material was removed from Belle Pass jetty channel for 1,580 linear feet in restoring project dimensions between stations -3+20 and 12+60. This was accomplished by leased dredge from February 15 to 22, 1964. Repairs to Belle Pass jetties, using 4,243.55 tons of stone, were accomplished by contract from March 29 to April 16, 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project as modified is 17 percent complete. Dredging between Larose, La., and the Gulf of Mexico was completed in 1939. Jetties at mouth of Belle Pass were completed in 1939, but subsequently damaged by storm action, which required placement of additional stone adjacent to both sides of steel sheet pile jetties in 1940, and repair and extension of jetties in 1941. During fiscal year 1948 stone jetties were repaired and ex- tended inland about 700 feet from shoreline; and steel sheet pile section was strengthened, for about 250 feet gulfward of stone jetties, by placement of stone on both gulf and bayou sides. On May 31, 1949, an automatic tide gage for recording hurricane and storm tides was installed. Construction of project modification authorized by River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960, was initiated February 11, 1963, and is 9 percent complete.

BAYOU TECHE AND VERMILION RIVER, LA. Location. Bayou Teche has its source in Bayou Courtableau, in St. Landry Parish, and flows in a southeasterly direction 125 miles to its confluence with lower Atchafalaya River, about 101/ miles above Morgan City, La. Vermilion River, also called Bayou Vermilion, is formed by junction of Bayous Fusilier and Bour- beau, west of Arnaudville, La., and flows in a southwesterly RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 517 direction to western end of Vermilion Bay, a distance of 72 miles. Bayou Teche is connected with Vermilion River by Bayou Fusilier at Arnaudville; and by Ruth Canal, an artificial, pri- vately owned, nonnavigable waterway, constructed for diversion of water from Bayou Teche to Vermilion River for rice irrigation. (U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1116 and 1277; Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley maps; and U.S. Geological Survey maps.) Existing project. Provides for a navigable channel 51 miles long and 8 by 80 feet from 8-foot depth contour in Vermilion Bay to Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, thence 9 by 100 feet to head of navigation (mile 52) at Lafayette, La. (fixed bridge at Louisiana State Highway 729, formerly State Highway 1092), with additional enlargement below Abbeville necessary to pro- vide adequate capacity for floodflows; improvement of Vermilion River from Lafayette, La., mile 52, to its junction with lower end of Ruth Canal, mile 57.2, by both widening and deepening so as to provide a channel 6 by 60 feet, mean gulf level, in order to provide adequate capacity for flood discharges from upper Vermilion River Basin, and also serve irrigation interests by conducting flow of Ruth Canal to lower Vermilion River during rice season. Clearing and enlargement of channel from Ruth Canal to Bayou Fusilier by both widening and deepening so as to provide a cross section approximately 50 percent larger than that of existing channel. This improvement is required in interest of flood control in upper Vermilion Basin. Enlargement of channel of Bayou Teche from its head in Bayou Courtableau to a point approximately 21 miles downstream thereof, by widening and deepening so as to provide a channel of 35-foot bottom width at minus 2 and minus 3, mean gulf level. Increasing height of Keystone Dam from its present crest elevation of 8 feet, above mean low gulf, by 3 feet (later revised to 1.5 feet) by installation of a fixed crest spillway. (See individ- ual report for Bayou Teche, La.) In connection with these improvements, the project also pro- vides for replacement of an existing pontoon bridge at Woodlawn over Vermilion River with a vertical-lift structure and lengthen- ing and strengthening of approaches to five existing movable bridges over Vermilion River below Lafayette, La., located at Louisiana State Highway 43 at Perry, La.; Southern Pacific Railroad at Abbeville, La.; Louisiana State Highway 25 at Abbe- ville, La.; Milton, La.; and U.S. Highway 90 (Pinhook Bridge) just below Lafayette, La. Similar work on existing fixed spans over nonnavigable streams is provided for on 11 bridges over Bayou Vermilion above Lafayette, La., and three over upper Bayou Teche. Cost of new work completed in 1957 was $2,891,922. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Au- gust 18, 1941 (S. Doc. 93, 77th Cong., 1st sess., which also con- tains latest published map). Project was reclassified "Operation and Maintenance, General" under category, "Navigation (Locks, 518 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Dams, Reservoirs, and Canals)" by authority of Office, Chief of Engineers, on April 23, 1956. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for new work. No action is presently being taken by local interests to acquire re- maining right-of-way needs for maintenance. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued engineering studies and surveys, and removed shoals and drift and controlled woody growth in channel area of water- way from mile 52, head of navigation, to mile 124.8, junction of Bayous Teche and Courtableau, Port Barre, La. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction under project commenced March 20, 1944, and was completed March 27, 1957, when crest of Keystone Dam was raised to provide an increase of 1.5 feet in pool elevation, in order to increase flow through Ruth Canal into Vermilion River. This was accomplished under navigation improvement "Bayou Teche, La." Controlling depths, mean low gulf, Vermilion River, were: (Mar. 1963) cutoff bar channel, 8 feet; through cutoff, 10.5 feet; to mile 25.2 (Southern Pacific Railroad Bridge at Abbeville), 9.5 feet; to mile 34.2 (Woodlawn Bridge), 7.5 feet; to mile 50 (Pinhook Bridge), 6.5 feet.

In addition, U.S. Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $427,000. Local cooperation. Local interests furnished all rights-of-way and spoil disposal areas necessary for completed features. For construction and future maintenance of modification 520 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 authorized by River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960, local interests must furnish lands, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas; accomplish alterations to pipelines, cables, wharves, oil wells, and any other facilities; and hold the United States free from damages. Assurances were furnished by Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District on February 16 and accepted March 10, 1961. Right-of-entry for this modification has been furnished; ease- ments covering 82 tracts with title evidence have been transferred to the United States; and 49 completed tracts have been for- warded to Judge Advocate General. A total of approximately 139 tracts cover this modification. Considerable curative work remains to be done by local agency before all deeds furnished are acceptable. For construction and future maintenance of Calcasieu River Salt Water Barrier authorized by River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, section 3, paragraphs (a), (b), and (c), Flood Control Act of 1936 applies. In addition, all interfering im- provements are to be relocated, retaining dikes and bulkheads are to be provided as required, and waterway is to be kept free from pollution. Assurances were furnished and accepted by United States in January 1964. Local interests have not yet completed property surveys. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities at Port of Lake Charles are owned by Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District and operated by a board of commissioners. In addition to municipally owned terminals, there are several privately owned and operated wharf structures on existing ship channel. (For further details, see Port Series No. 19, vol. 1, "Port St. Joe, Fla., Pensacola, Fla., Baton Rouge, La., Panama City, Fla., Pascagoula, Miss., Lake Charles, La., Gulfport, Miss." revised 1957, and Folio of Navigation Maps, Intracoastal Waterway, New Orleans to Port Arthur, 1962, 10th edition, published by Mississippi River Commission, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army.) Operations and results during fiscal year. (a) New work by hired labor: Real estate activities, engineering studies and de- sign, surveys, and preparation of plans and specifications were carried on. Rehabilitation of range targets, construction of ad- ditional on-shore range targets, construction of survey tower and marker piles, and installation of light platforms and ladder for range targets were accomplished. Experimental dredging, to test practicability of constructing channel with hopper dredge instead of pipeline dredge, was ac- complished on 42- by 400-foot interim channel, mile minus 4, seaward to approximate mile minus 10, by U.S. hopper dredge Langfitt from July 18, 1963, to January 31, 1964.

EXPANDED PROJECT FOR AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL Location. Lakes and streams in State of Louisiana. Existing project. Provides for control and progressive eradi- cation of water hyacinth, alligatorweed, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- ana, and Texas, in combined interests of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures. Estimated cost for new work (July 1964) is $3,545,000, Fed- eral, and $1,519,000, non-Federal. Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 37, 85th Cong., 1st sess.) Latest published maps are in project document. Local cooperation. Local interests must hold the United States free from claims and participate in project to extent of 30 percent of cost of operations. State of Louisiana, Department of Public Works, and Loui- siana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission furnished a joint as- surance of local cooperation, which was approved April 29 and accepted May 4, 1959. This was extended 5 years to May 4, 1969. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 523 Under provisions of a continuing contract for approximately 10 years, local agencies will perform work in kind approximating 30 percent of cost of program. Operations and results during fiscal year. A part of Teche Basin south of U.S. Highway 190 was treated by crews of U.S. Army Engineers during first half of fiscal year. Teche Basin feeder areas north of U.S. Highway 190 were assigned to crews of State of Louisiana under contract and they continued to reduce area of infestation. Progress continues in this basin. All principal waterways of Maurepas-Pontchartrain Basin were cleaned by combined efforts of U.S. Army Engineers and State of Louisiana. This combined effort continues to obtain satisfactory results in small tributaries and main waterways. Large isolated lakes and streams in northern half of State, part of which are within limits of U.S. Army Engineer District, Vicksburg, Miss., were cleaned of most surface vegetation. Maintenance of this area is assigned to the State with occasional assistance by U.S. Army Engineer crews in some of the lakes and streams. Satisfactory progress is being made in this area. Waterways between Atchafalaya east guide levee and Missis- sippi River levee south of Morganza control structure are being cleaned by a combined effort of U.S. Army Engineer crews and State crews. This work is progressing with satisfactory results. A combined effort is being made in Atchafalaya Basin on several waterways that are a source of reinfestation of main navigable waterways in Atchafalaya Basin, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and other connecting streams by U.S. Army Engineer crews and State crews. Results are progressing in a satisfactory manner. During operations throughout year a total of 10,922 acres of vegetation was destroyed. State of Louisiana crews destroyed 7,287 acres of vegetation by chemical treatments only. Crews of U.S. Army Engineers destroyed 3,635 acres of vegetation using both chemical and mechanical methods. Research work to discover means to chemically destroy alliga- torweed and other obnoxious aquatic plants, under contract with University of Southwestern Louisiana at Lafayette, La., contin- ued with promising results. Condition at end of fiscal year. Operations under project, initiated May 15, 1959, are 55 percent complete.

FRESHWATER BAYOU, LA. Location. In Vermilion Parish, La., between Atchafalaya and Calcasieu Rivers, from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 161.2 west of Harvey lock, to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico near 524 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Freshwater Bayou. Waterway is routed along Schooner Bayou Cutoff, Schooner Bayou, Six Mile Canal, Belle Isle Canal, and Freshwater Bayou, a distance of 22.6 miles. Existing project. Provides for dredging a new 12- by 125- foot channel from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 161.2 west of Harvey lock, to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico near Fresh- water Bayou, construction of a 84- by 600-foot lock with a depth of 16 feet over sill near Gulf of Mexico; and construction of jetties from shoreline to 6-foot depth contour in Gulf of Mexico, if maintenance dredging of channel without jetties proves to be more expensive than construction and maintenance of jetties. Until such determination has been made, offshore channel should be dredged and maintained to provide a 12- by 250-foot channel. In event jetties are provided, offshore section should then be maintained to 12- by 125-foot project in jetties reach, and 250 feet beyond. Estimated cost for new work (July 1964) is $7,700,000, Fed- eral, and $207,000, non-Federal. In addition, U.S. Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at a cost of $23,000. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960 (H. Doc. 435, 86th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest pub- lished map). Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, ease- ments, rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas for construction and future maintenance; accomplish and maintain all alterations to pipelines, cables, and any other utilities necessary for con- struction of project; and hold the United States free from dam- ages. Assurances have been received and accepted. Vermilion Parish Police Jury was requested January 31, 1962, to acquire rights-of-way for project, which contains 48 tracts. Difficulty was encountered by local agency in obtaining donation of rights-of-way from owners who wished to include a restrictive withdrawal clause. An acceptable withdrawal clause was ap- proved and is acceptable also to major landowner, Humble Oil & Refining Co. Local agency furnished deeds and title evidence covering 38 tracts and expropriated 10 tracts. Considerable cura- tive work is required before deeds can be accepted. Terminal facilities. Extensive public and private terminal and transfer facilities do not exist in area, and none would be required for improved channel. Private terminals exist at site of oil and gas operations in area and sufficient private and public wharf facilities are along Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and its connecting waterways. Sites are available along proposed improvement for construction of any additional private and public terminals that might be required for utilization of channel. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued engineering studies, investigations, preparation of de- sign memorandums and plans and specifications, and acquisition of assurances. Construction of 12- by 125-foot channel from mile 1.65 to 4.39, in progress at start of fiscal year, was completed July 6, 1963. Construction of 12- by 125-foot channel from mile 4.39 RIVERS AND HARBORS - --NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 525 to 11.85 and mile 11.85 to 19.85, is in progress under two con- tracts, one of which was in progress at start of fiscal year. These contracts are 86 and 44 percent complete, respectively. A total of 5,132,045 cubic yards was removed for 13.6 miles, not continuous. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction under existing project, initiated April 7, 1963, is 15 percent complete, with 6.64 miles of project channel complete and 9.16 miles of channel partially complete.

On November 17, 1962, a new contract ex- tended period for 5 years. During fiscal year under this recip- rocal agreement 30,525 cubic yards were removed by leased dredges Manchac and Tchefuncta from within 100-foot line and 73,700 cubic yards were removed by Board of Commissioners outside 100-foot line. River traffic signal lights to govern movement of vessels during flood stages on Mississippi River in vicinity of Algiers Point, Port of New Orleans, were in operation from March 18 to April 15 and from May 6 to 25, 1964. Necessary surveys to determine condition of channel in harbor were made. 544 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Southwest Pass: 407,108 cubic yards were removed by U.S. dredge Langfitt at Head of Passes covering 5,600 linear feet along entrance ranges into Southwest Pass. Leased dredge Galveston removed 674,195 cubic yards of material over 6,000 linear feet between mile 0.2 above Head of Passes and mile 0.9 below Uead of Passes. Total yardage removed from Head of Passes was, 1,081,303 cubic yards. At Southwest Pass lower jetty channel and bar channel, 6,832,023 cubic yards of material were removed by U.S. dredge Langfitt from mile 15 below Head of Passes to 5,800 linear feet into Gulf of Mexico. Leased dredge G. A Mc- Williams removed 367,365 cubic yards of material for 6,800 linear feet in Southwest Pass between miles 15.3 and 17.7 below Head of Passes. Approximately 38,733 tons of stone and 799 cubic yards of shell were placed on east jetty, Southwest Pass, in constructing 400 linear feet of new jetty, in placing additional stone over 2,650 linear feet of existing jetty, and in repairing 6,150 linear feet of jetty between August 5 and November 20, 1963. By contract 350 cubic yards of shell and 3,719 tons of stone were placed to tie-in upper end of jetty into dredge spoil bank, and 140 linear feet of displaced, concrete blocks were reset on westByjetty, Southwest Pass, from May 2 to 23, 1964. contract the west headland permeable. pile dike at Head of Passes was repaired, placing 12,531 tons of stone within structure from March 26 to April 17, 1964.. Repair and maintenance of outlets .and miscellaneous struc- tures, inspections, routine channel surveys, miscellaneous hydrau- lic investigations, and examinations and observations were made by hired labor forces. A portion of former Burrwood reservation continued under lease to U.S. Weather Bureau. Office to handle surveys of Mississippi River Passes was main- tained at Venice, La. To prevent further erosion along north bank of Smith Canal, which adjoins the Venice reservation, 425.5 tons of riprap were placed by hired labor. South Pass: At South Pass Bar, 1,075,091 cubic yards of material were removed by U.S. dredge Langfitt covering 9,000 linear feet from 4,000 feet inside the lower jetty channel to 5,000 feet into Gulf of Mexico. A total of 6,965 linear feet of concrete capping is being placed on east jetty, South Pass. Work is 24 percent complete. By contract 4,333 tons of stone were placed at upper end of east jetty, South Pass, and vicinity weir seetion at outlet 12E, from April 20 to 27, 1964. By contract awarded June 8, 1964, a parallel stone dike will be constructed on west bank of South Pass between miles 8.5 and 10. At end of fiscal year work had not commenced. Routine channel surveys and miscellaneous observations were made. Reports, channel patrol, engineering and design, stream gaging, .hydraulic studies, observations, posting record of con- struction, planning and review of navigation projects, miscellane- RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 545 ous investigations, and danger zone and fairways studies were carried on. Hydrographic surveys, stream gaging, investigations, and studies continued throughout the fiscal year. Data obtained in- cluded complete surveys of Southwest and South Passes and river below Wilder Flats, as required; continuous water-level records at controlling points throughout passes; discharge measurements in each of the three main passes; and gaging of minor outlets. Average discharges at each of the three main passes of Lower Mississippi River in percentages of total discharge of river at Head of Passes during flood cycles are as follows: 1955 1956 1957 1958 19591 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 Southwest Pass...... 35.48 37.31 37.50 39.99 ........ 38.44 35.70 38.64 39.22 41.74 South Pass.......... 20.15 19.32 20.50 18.28 ........ 18.89 20.05 19.36 20.55 20.29 Pass a Loutre........ 44.37 43.37 42.00 41.73 ........ 42.67 44.25 42.00 40.23 37.97 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 ........ 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 1 No flood cycle during this year. Costs of major items were---New work: $559,028 for dredging by leased dredges, and $625,946 for dikes. Maintenance: $889,- 818 for dredging by leased dredges, and $748,443 for dikes. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is 98 percent complete, exclusive of Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet. (a) Baton Rouge to New Orleans, New Orleans Harbor, and New Orleans to Head of Passes: Work under modification of October 23, 1962, for dredging 40- by 500-foot channel at Mississippi River Crossings between Baton Rouge and New Or- leans was completed August 8, 1963. Feasibility study for modi- fication of U.S. dustpan dredge Jadwin has been completed. Annual maintenance is required following each high water period and leased dredging is in progress. Dredging by leased dredge also in progress in New Orleans Harbor. Minor deficien- cies in harbor at Dumaine and Governor Nicholls street wharves were not corrected because of revetted mattresses at these loca- tions. Channel depths opposite these wharves are adequate for present and anticipated future commerce. Normal width of channel between 40-foot contours within limits of Port of New Orleans varies from 1,600 to 2,400 feet. Thalweg depths exceed 100 feet. Shoals along edges of channel, which develop at various points during high-river stages, make dredging necessary as the river stages fall, to maintain project depths to wharves along east bank. A natural channel of project dimensions or greater was avail- able between New Orleans and Head of Passes. (b) Southwest Pass: Deepening of pass and bar channel from 35 to 40 feet, mean low gulf, as approved by act of March 2, 1945, was completed September 29, 1963. Annual maintenance is required following each high water period and dredging by leased plant is in progress. East jetty required additional stone placed in low sections in jetty system because of settlement and is scheduled to be re- paired in fiscal year 1966. 546 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 West jetty requires additional repairs because of settlement and this work is scheduled for fiscal year 1966. East and west headland permeable pile and stone dike struc- tures at Head of Passes and various permeable pile dikes in Southwest Pass are in effective operating condition. Continued maintenance, however, is required. Wavewash erosion continued on west bank of Southwest Pass, vicinity mile 2 to 9 below Head of Passes. At several areas where narrow batture ridge along pass is no longer present, there is communicating flow between pass channel and adjacent open marsh areas when low banks are submerged at high tide and high river stages. Under 40-foot project, permeable pile dikes were constructed in this area to stabilize pass and also prevent further bank erosion. In fiscal year 1965 it is planned to continue strengthening all outlets of the pass with stone where necessary to fully protect them from further damage by erosion from high river stages. To increase bank stability and lessen overbank flow, a hydraulic fill will continue to be placed on existing narrow land areas by leased dredge being used for maintaining the pass. For last complete report on the existing works of this pass, see Annual Report of 1963.

(c) South Pass: A good channel was available throughout length of pass during fiscal year, with dredging required in lower jetty channel and on bar. Condition of banks is better since placement of hydraulic fill during fiscal year 1961. Additional bank protection is required, however, and contract is underway for placing a parallel stone dike on west bank between miles 8.5 and 10 BHP. Continuing this dike downstream is planned in future maintenance. All outlets must be reinforced with stone annually to prevent further erosion. Repairs to east jetty to raise outer 6,965 feet of concrete cap are underway. Raising cap above this point is planned in future maintenance. For last complete report on the existing works of this pass, see Annual Report for 1963. Controlling channel conditions on June 30, 1964, were 31 feet over bar channel at gulf entrance to pass. Minimum width of channel was 360 feet in lower jetty channel, vicinity mile 13.5 below Head of Passes. Total costs for existing project to end of fiscal year were $88,739,503, of which $33,186,935 was for new work and $55,- 552,568 for maintenance.

REMOVING WATER HYACINTH (LOUISIANA) Location. Lakes and streams tributary to the gulf coast. Existing project. Provides for removal of plants from navig- able waters of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, so far as they are or may become an obstruction to navigation, by any mechanical, chemical, or other means whatso- ever; for construction and operation of boats equipped with suitable machinery for such removal; and for construction and operation of booms to prevent drifting of plants from one stream to another. Existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1899 Made appropriations for States of Florida and Louisiana and H. Doc. 91, 55th Cong., 3d sess. provided for extermination or removal of plants, building of boats, and establishment of booms.

A well-balanced combination of mechanical and chemical methods of destruction was undertaken to take maximum advantage of funds available. RIVERS AND HARBORS - NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 549 Work accomplished in main waterways and their principal trib- utaries over which major portion of navigation moves. Pre- ventive maintenance work carried out in secondary streams and feeder areas whenever practicable. Feeder areas previously freed of hyacinths and placed on a patrol maintenance basis have be- come infected with alligatorweed which has not proved to be as susceptible to approved chemical treatment as water hyacinth. A total of 18,389,096 square yards (3,799 acres) of vegetation was treated by chemicals and 585,156 square yards (121 acres) of vegetation was destroyed by machinery in Bayou Black, Lake Cataouatche, and feeder streams, streams of Lake des Allemands Basin, Lake Dauterive area, Bayou Penchant-Bayou Copasaw area, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, streams of Maurepas-Pont- chartrain Basin, Plaquemine Waterway, and Bayou Teche. Operations were conducted in main navigable streams on a recurring basis. No permanent results can be expected until vegetation in secondary streams and feeder areas has been destroyed. Condition at end of fiscal year. From 1900 to 1902 a boat with suitable machinery for destroying hyacinth by crushing was operated. From that time until 1937 hyacinths were de- stroyed through use of a solution of arsenic and caustic soda which was sprayed on vegetation, removal by hand crews, and controlled in their movements by means of booms and barricades. Use of arsenic was discontinued and hand removal supplanted by use of mechanical equipment in conjunction with chemical spray (2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid). Present methods of control are by means of mechanical rotary saw-type destroyers, chemical treatment, and use of booms and barricades. Excellent results are being obtained on water hyacinths by these methods.

State of Louisiana has constructed and is maintaining a levee along left bank of Mississippi River opposite and just below mouth of Old River for protection of State penal farm at Angola, La. Since construction of this levee, a large batture has been built up by the river. Effort to convert the batture to improved pasture and row crops have been unsuccessful because of frequent overflow from the river. State constructed substandard levees for partial protection of some of this batture and requested Fed- eral assistance in constructing levees around an additional area of over 1,500 acres. Preauthorization studies under section 205, 1948 Flood Control Act, are now underway.. Local cooperation required by law is the a, b, and c provisions of section 3, Flood Control Act 1936, and Louisiana Department of Institutions was requested to furnish a statement agreeing to modify local cooperation to require a 50 percent non-Federal par- ticipation in the project in view of reclamation features. Future action will depend upon agreement to this change.

CAMPTI-CLARENCE AREA IN NATCHITOCHES PARISH, LA. Location. On left descending bank of Red River between Cam- pti, La., mile 190, and mouth of Saline Bayou, mile 166. It com- prises an area of about 34,900 acres of Red River alluvial land between riverbank and valley escarpment of which about 22,600 acres are open lands. Land elevations range from about 100 feet to about 125 feet above mean sea level. Principal drainage artery for area is Bourbeaux Bayou which flows into Saline Bayou about 2 miles downstream from Allen Dam. Chivery and Allen Dams were constructed by the State of Louisiana, Department of Public Works, to maintain a minimum pool in Clear and Saline Lakes for recreational purposes. Existing project. Plan of improvement provides for a ring levee to extend from Campti along high bank of Red River to Saline Bayou, then up west bank of Bayou to Chivery Dam, and thence westward to hill line southwest of Clear Lake. A low fill is to be placed in a saddle approximately 4 miles east of Campti, La. Total levee will be approximately 32 miles long and will average 7.5 feet high. U.S. Highways 84 and 71, State Highway 1226, and Kansas City Southern Railway to be raised to levee grade where these facilities cross levee along Saline Bayou. Levee will cross Chevreuille Bayou adjacent to Kansas City Southern Railway crossing. Control structure in Chevreuille Bayou will consist of a 10-foot square gated culvert through combined rail- way and levee embankment, and will replace present railway trestle. In addition, seven gated pipe culverts and landside ditches along some sections of levee will be required to take care of intercepted drainage. Clearing and snagging of about 11 miles of Bourbeaux Bayou, closure of Bourbeaux Bayou near Chivery Dam, and enlargement of 5 miles of Chevreuille Bayou to afford a new outlet for Bourbeaux Bayou will be essential to relieve interior flood problem. Estimated cost for new work (July 1964) is $1,750,000 Fed- eral, and $440,000 non-Federal. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Octo- ber 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 476, 87th Cong., 2d sess.). Latest published map is in authorizing document. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way, necessary for construction and future maintenance, provide relocations and local betterments required 6O REPOR1T O H Gtl1EIP OENGINEERS, tr.

COOPER RESERVOIR AND CHANNELS, TEX. Location. Cooper Dam and Reservoir is approximately 4 miles southeast of Cooper, 13 miles north of Sulphur Springs, Tex., and is at mile 23.2 on South Sulphur River, which rises in Fannin County, Tex., and flows generally east for approximately 80 miles to its confluence with North Sulphur River to form Sulphur River. Existing project. Provides for construction of an earthfill dam with maximum height of about 70 feet, length of 15,725 feet at its crest, and an uncontrolled spillway. Reservoir area will be 16,400 acres at top of flood control pool and 4,550 acres at top of joint-use pool. Also provides for channel clearing, realinement, and enlargement; enlargement and extension of existing levees; and construction of appurtenant drainage works, along main stem of Sulphur River above mile 126; channel clearing, realine- ment, and enlargement and levee enlargement and modification of appurtenant drainage works on Cuthand Creek below mile 24, on Sulphur River below mile 70 except in proposed Cooper Reser- voir, miles 29 to 42, and on Middle Sulphur River below mile 8; channel clearing and realinement of Brushy Creek below mile 5; and levee enlargement on North Sulphur River between miles 1 and 5. Estimate of cost for new work (July 1964) is $17,400,000 Fed- eral, and $5,350,000 non-Federal, including reimbursement for water supply of $5,020,000. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Au- gust 3, 1955 (H. Doc. 488, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). FLOOD CONTROL-NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 561 Local cooperation. Except for Cooper Reservoir local interests must furnish all lands, easements, and rights-of-way, and make alterations and relocations of highways and related facilities, and utilities, except railroads, necessary for construction; hold the United States free from damages; maintain and operate all works after completion, and preserve channel capacities by preventing encroachment. Although local agencies furnished rights-of-way for first two phases of work, levee and channel work upstream from Cooper Dam and part I of levee and channel work downstream from Cooper, local agencies were unwilling to take legal action required to acquire rights-of-way and make them available to the United States, which were requested for part II, channels and levees downstream from Cooper. Although local agencies last year indicated their willingness to file condemnation proceedings to obtain rights-of-way to proceed with project, no action has been taken to date to make these rights-of-way available. The two local agencies involved in part III (which includes a section of levee within damsite area) were advised to discontinue; acquisi- tion until such time as Sulphur River Municipal Water District could comply with provisions of authorizing act. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued real estate activities and water supply storage studies. Work remaining under contract for construction of levees and channels downstream from Cooper Reservoir, Sulphur River, Tex., part IA, on which original contractor defaulted, was accom- plished under another contract during period October 9, 1963, to April 20, 1964, with 3.9 miles of levee embankment strengthened and 1.56 miles of levee embankment deficiencies and 300 linear feet of channel deficiencies corrected.

Maniece Bayou drainage area of 88 square miles is on left bank of Red River in Lafayette County, Ark. Drainage area which is from 3 to 5 miles wide and about 25 miles long roughly parallels Red River. Maniece Bayou enters Red River at mile 366.5 (1950-51 mileage). Maniece Bayou, below mile 5, flows through a deteriorated bed of an ancient Red River meander, characterized by a typical alluvial ridge on each side of the stream. Main line Red River levee ties into right bank ridge at about mile 3.6. At this point channel lies along the base of escarpment. Above mile 8 the bayou is poorly defined and tra- verses a low swamp area. Inadequate outlet capacity of Maniece Bayou results in impoundment in swamp for extended periods during rainy season with resulting impairment of drainage on surrounding improved lands and periodic overflow of these lands during moderate storms. Existing project. Provides for diversion of Maniece Bayou through enlarged existing channels and land cuts to enter Red River at mile 362.3, for snagging and clearing of existing channel between Red River and mile 0.47, and for channel enlargement and realinement between mile 0.47 and 8. This plan was modified to include enlargement and realinement of Maniece and Field Bayous below mile 23.1, including further channel enlargement of Maniece Bayou below mile 8 beyond that already authorized, provides for a low water dam near end of existing left-bank Red River levee, extension of levee by a spoil bank for 3.5 miles to mouth of Maniece Bayou, and construction of an appurtenant interceptor drainage ditch. 566 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Estimated cost for new work (July 1964) is $1,073,500 Fed- eral, and $223,000 non-Federal, including contributed funds of $41,000, which amount is based on recommendations made in response to Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962, but has not been approved. Existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Aug. 3, 1955 Diversion of Maniece Bayou to enter Red River at mile 362.3; H. Doc. 488, 83d Cong., 2d sess. snagging and clearing channel between Red River and mile 0.47; and channel enlargement and realinement between mile 0.47 and 8.

Doc. 288, 86th Cong., 2d sess. below mile 23.1, including further channel enlargement of Maniece Bayou below mile 8 beyond that already author- ized; provides for a low water dam near end of existing left-bank Red River levee, extension of levee by a spoil bank for 3.5 miles to mouth of Maniece Bayou; and con- struction of an appurtenant interceptor drainage ditch. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, ease- ments, and rights-of-way for construction and future mainte- nance; provide alteration to utilities; construct at their own ex- pense all bridge changes, including approaches; rehabilitate and extend lateral drainage system; maintain and operate work after completion; hold the United States free from damages; and con- tribute in cash 29.2 percent of cost of major outlet channel excava- tion to be accomplished by the United States, such contribution presently estimated at $271,000 to be paid prior to commencement of construction, final allocation of costs to be made after actual costs have been determined. Official request was made December 11, 1961, for assurances of local cooperation to be furnished by Maniece Bayou Drainage District No. 2 of Lafayette County, Ark., and Maniece Bayou Drainage District of Lafayette County, Ark. On January 6, 1962, the local agencies advised that their commissioners were unwil- ling to furnish the cash contribution required in the authorizing act and would endeavor to have contribution reduced or elimi- nated. The President, by letter June 5, 1964, contained in H. Doc. 320, 88th Congress, approved reduction of cash contribution to 4.5 percent, or $41,300. Operations and results during fiscal year. Report covering restudy of local cooperation was submitted and is in the Bureau of the Budget. Planning during fiscal year was limited to study of an alternate route, pending action on restudy. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction under original authorization was accomplished from July 1958 to April 1959 with lower 8 miles of Maniece Bayou cleared, realined, and en- larged, with costs of $128,513.

MCKINNEY BAYOU, ARK. Location. Rises in northeastern part of Bowie County, Tex., and flows easterly an original distance of 76 miles, passing 8 miles north of Texarkana, Tex., and entering Red River at mile 386. Flows from upper 20 miles of this stream were diverted into Red River at mile 494.3 by levee and channel construction across McKinney Bayou below mouth of Barkman Creek, a right-bank tributary, which rises in hills to the south. Existing project. Provides for channel clearing, realinement, and enlargement of McKinney Bayou below mile 41.4; enlarge- ment of existing hillside floodway levee between mile 12 and 14 and extension thereof upstream to mouth of Red Chute, mile 27, thence up Red Chute for 2 miles; construction of a new levee and closure of high water outlets between miles 31 and 41.4, and construction of appurtenant drainage works including a floodgate; all of which would reduce flood damage on approximately 26,000 acres of cropland. Improvement of Barkman Creek and portion of McKinney Bayou in Texas, originally included in plan of im- provement, was deleted because of expiration under law of their authorization. This plan was modified to include a channel originating at about mile 26.5 on McKinney Bayou, thence continuing in' a northerly direction crossing Finn Bayou to terminate at approx- imate mile 2.3 of Gillespie Ditch, a channel length of about 7 miles.

Estimated cost of this por- tion, last revised in July 1960, was $166,000, including $55,000 non-Federal contribution, excluding $1,000 U.S. Coast Guard cost. See House Document 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated February 27, 1940, containing a general plan for improvement of Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and mouth of Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, flood control, and needs of irrigation. Terminal facilities. Considered adequate for existing com- merce. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Construction works were carried on by contract and hired labor with Government plant, weather conditions and river stages being favorable for construction during the year, except for periods of low stages. Regulating works were maintained and project dimensions of channels secured by dredging. New work, regulating works: Contract work consisted of $660,- 000 for stone dike construction and $382,661 for bank revetment. In addition, $54,025 for engineering and design; $80,120 for supervision and administration; and $168 for lands and damages. Total costs for year were $1,176,974. Dam 27-Work consisted of $675 for completion of main dam, $2,200 for installation of a gage; $3,387 for maintenance during construction; $3,310 for permanent operating equipment; $3,- 626 for engineering and design, $1,549 for supervision and ad- ministration; and $191 undistributive cost. Total costs for the year were $14,938. Chain of Rocks-Contract work consisted of $330,000 for initia- tion of contract for raising the west wall of the auxiliary lock. Additional costs were $4,034 for hired labor work; $49,645 for engineering and design, and $17,808 for supervision and admini- stration. Total costs for year were $401,487. Maintenance: Work during the year consisted of $1,323,716 for repair of 69,284 linear feet of dikes, $610,645 for 46,056 linear feet of revetment; and $592,441 for 323,000 square yards of canal revetment. U.S. plant and hired labor performed chan- nel dredging at 75 localities, removing 5,403,000 cubic yards of material from main channel at a cost of $989,793. Channels dredged had a combined length of 32 miles, an average width of 300 feet, and an average gain in depth of 4.4 feet. Other costs were $315,913 for condition and operation studies; $208,566 for operation and care of lock No. 27; $34,816 for maintenance and repairs of lock No. 27; $20,455 for gage repairs; $22,212 for en- gineering and design; $2,914 for inspection and reports; $401,- RIVERS AND HARBORS - -ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 597 782 for supervision and administration; and minus $3,040 for undistributed cost. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction on existing proj- ect was initiated in 1881, and project has been in beneficial use practically from its inception. Work on project is about 87 percent complete. Work required to complete project includes con- struction of 130,000 linear feet of dikes; 50,000 linear feet of revetment; removal of 250,000 cubic yards of rock; removal of 100,000 cubic yards by dredging; repair of canal revetment; com- pletion of contract underway; and raising west wall of auxiliary lock. Dikes and revetments were in poor condition along some reaches of river due to critical damage inflicted by heavy ice flows during 1950-51, 1957-58, 1962-63 and by floods in spring and summer of 1951. Channel as a whole has been greatly improved by the work completed to date. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain required channel depths. Project dimensions of channels generally maintained through- out navigation season. Navigation season formerly extended from middle of February to middle of December, the river being generally closed by ice remainder of year. However, in recent years increased demands of commerce and use of steel hull boats have combined to extend navigation season throughout the year except when blocked by heavy ice or gorges. River is generally above 10-foot stage, St. Louis gage, for 6 months of the year, latter part of February to latter part of August, during which time project channel depths generally prevail without dredging. Mean stage of river, St. Louis gage was 5.46 feet for fiscal year 1963 and 2.28 feet for fiscal year 1964. Low stages during past 2 years increased dredging require- ments to maintain project depths. Recent low-water periods made many docks in St. Louis Harbor inoperative due to inadequate depth of water and increased dredging requirements at lower entrance of the Chain of Rocks Canal, which is in upper portion of harbor.

(See Kansas City sheet of map of United States published by Army Map Service, scale 1:500,000.) Existing project. Provides for reconstruction of 14.7 miles of levee, construction of a new pumping plant, closure structure, and control measures. Project will provide protection to approxi- mately 12,080 acres of agricultural land against a flood of about 50-year frequency. Estimated total construction cost (July 1964) is $4,120,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (H. Doc. 472, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Because of the vulnerability of the dis- trict to flooding, District Commissioners have been very active in efforts to obtain the flood protection they need and desire. The district has been steadily improved in the past few years, as more local funds became available. The district is believed to have the legal authority and financial capability to act as local sponsor for this work. Local interests were contacted concerning contribu- tion of 20 percent of total cost of project. This was done at the request of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropria- tions in the hearings on public works appropriations for fiscal year 1964. By letter dated August 19, 1963, McGee Creek Drain- age and Levee District expressed strong opposition to the 20 per- cent requirement. Information furnished by said district showed that local interests expended more than 20 percent of total cost of project on improvements within said district. 606 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was initiated. Costs incurred during fiscal year were $45,039 for engineering and design, and $3,468 for supervision and administration. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Protective works will be on right bank of Missis- sippi River from Maline Creek to Carr Street, between river miles 187.2 and 180.2; from Poplar Street to Chippewa Street, between river miles 179.2 and 176.3. Area to be protected includes low- lying lands along riverfront of St. Louis between river and higher ground. (See folder by U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, of Navi- gation Charts. Middle and Upper Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to Minneapolis, Minn.) Existing project. Provides for construction of 21,200 feet of earth levee, 34,400 feet of reinforced concrete floodwall, closure structures, underseepage relief measures, 26 pumping stations, and alterations to 44 sewer systems. Project will provide protec- tion to heavily industrialized area along riverfront from Maline Creek to Carr Street and Poplar Street to Chippewa Street against a flood of about 200-year frequency. Estimated total construction cost, revised in 1964, is $87,100,000 including $1,500,000 contrib- uted funds. Project was authorized by Public Law 256, 84th Congress, 1st session (S. Doc. 57, 84th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. Formal assurances as required by author- izing act were received from city of St. Louis. These assurances are applicable to reaches 3 and 4 of project and supplemented by assurances of Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District. Assurances by Sewer District are applicable to maintenance and operation of sewage, drainage, and pumping facilities constructed as part of project and to local cooperation requirement that new drainage and sewage facilities constructed within limits of protected flood plains will function at all river stages up to design flood, without cost to the United States. Included in local cooperation require- ments is a required contribution equal to 3.6 percent of first cost of construction of reach 3. Assurances were accepted by the District Engineer, October 22, 1958. City furnished rights-of-way required for all work currently under contract and indicated they will be able to fulfill require- ments for remaining work as required. Under a bond issue authorized in May 1955, city of St. Louis has available $7,547,000 to carry out local cooperation requirements of FLOOD CONTROL---ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT 607 project. Through June 30, 1964, city contributed $1,172,674 towards construction cost of reach 3. Flood protection for area B along Maline Creek in city of Belle- fontaine Neighbors was approved as part of this project by Chief of Engineers on September 29, 1961. On December 3, 1963, city of Bellefontaine Neighbors voted on a $225,000 bond issue to be used to pay the local cost of Maline Creek protection. This bond issue was defeated by a vote of 1,077 to 758. This was not even a simple majority, whereas a two-thirds majority is required for approval of the bonds. Since no other funds are available, there is presently no local sponsor for this portion of the flood protection. Operations and results during fiscal year. Costs of $6,055,393 were incurred on reach 3. Work by contract consisted of $4,116,- 092 for construction of levees, floodwalls, and sewer alterations; $1,164,714 for construction of pumping plants; and $61,729 for engineering and design.

Project cost (revised in 1964) is $44 million, of which $29,040,000 is for construction and $14,960,000 for lands and damages. Project was authorized by 1962 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 541, 87th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Local interests must contribute toward cost of project. It is anticipated legislation will be introduced in 1965 session of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois which will allow State of Illinois to act as sponsor or cosponsor with the Rend Lake Conservancy District. It is highly probable that such legislation will not be passed in time for the Corps of Engineers to initiate and complete land acquisition for the sub- impoundment damsites during fiscal year 1965. Interim assur- ances were requested from the Conservancy District April 24, 1964. These assurances provide that if the legislation is not enacted by the 1965 Legislature, the Rend Lake Conservancy District will seek approval by referendum vote, to be held on or before December 1, 1965, to authorize an increase in its revenue from taxation in order to produce sufficient funds to meet the obligation of $7,400,000. The Conservancy District has the legal authority to act as sponsor. This executed interim assurance was forwarded for consideration by the Chief of Engineers with the real estate memorandum for subimpoundment areas. Operations and results during fiscal year. Costs incurred were $38,910 for advance planning on lands and damages, $177,046 for engineering and design, and $13,793 for supervision and administration. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Fiscal year costs were $31,395 for North Fork, Salt River, Mo., which was completed November 1963 at a total cost of $38,385. 23. JOANNA RESERVOIR, SALT RIVER, MO. Location. Salt River rises in Schuyler County, about 12 miles south of Missouri-Iowa State line. It flows in a general south- easterly direction, approximately 192 miles, and empties into Mis- sissippi River about 2 miles above Louisiana, Mo., or approximately 284 miles above mouth of Ohio River. (See Kansas City and Quincy sheets of map of United States published by Army Map Service, scale 1:500,000 and U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps, 1: 250,000.) Previous project. For details see page 645 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. Provides for construction of a multiple-pur- pose reservoir, including power, flood control, water supply, navi- gation storage, pollution abatement, fish and wildlife conserva- tion and recreation. Dam consists of a compacted earth embankment with a concrete spillway controlled by tainter gates. Dam and spillway are approximately 1,965 feet long. Spillway structure consists of an ogee overflow section surmounted by seven 40- by 29-foot tainter gates. Reservoir will have a storage capacity of 1,428,000 acre-feet for use of flood control, future domestic and industrial water supply, sediment storage, and power generation. Power plant would have a firm capacity of 50,000 kilowatts based on pumped storage operations. Project cost estimate (revised in 1964) is $70,600,000, of which $62,895,000 is for construction and $7,705,000 for lands and damages. Local contribution toward cost of project is $2,100,000. Project was authorized by Flood Con- trol Act of October 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 507, 87th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Joanna Dam Association, representing in- terested citizens of surrounding counties in the basin, is actively supporting the project, and indicated that local cooperation would be forthcoming, although from what source, has not been final- ized. A Resolution of the Legislature, State of Missouri, directed State Water Resources Board, "to conduct a study of all possible means of obtaining and providing funds for the cost of water supply provisions which must be paid by State and local interests under the provisions of the Federal Water Supply Act of 1958 and to recommend legislation to the 73d General Assembly to provide a means of furnishing the required State and local interests' costs." State Water Resources Board has advised that it anticipates making its report to the legislature in 1964.

Provides for a channel 30 feet deep at mean low tide and 200 feet wide on bottom, beginning at deep water in Galveston Harbor and extending to a turning basin 1,600 feet long, with an average width of about 750 feet and 30 feet deep at mean low tide in front of wharves. Under ordi- nary conditions mean tidal range is about 1.3 feet and extreme range about 2 feet. Height of tides is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" in the winter season water surface may be depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. Cost of completed new work is $85,214 (July 1954), exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. Enlargement of turn- ing basin from 1,000 to 1,600 feet, estimated total cost (July 1954) $71,000, is inactive. Maintenance of channel and a portion of turning basin to 20 feet deep over a bottom width of 200 feet accommodates existing commerce. Existing project was authorized by acts of June 25, 1910 (H. Doc. 328, 61st Cong., 2d sess.), and March 2, 1919 (H. Doc. 1122, 65th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Terminals are privately owned and con- sist of 2 slips and 2 piers. The piers, 400 feet wide by 1,200 feet long and 210 feet wide by 1,200 feet long, are badly dete- riorated and not in use. The slips are used as anchorages by shallow-draft vessels. A highway ferry landing owned by State of Texas is at south end of turning basin.

GALVESTON HARBOR AND CHANNEL, TEX. Location. A consolidation of authorized improvements at Gal- veston, Tex., which includes projects formerly identified as Gal- veston Harbor, Tex.; Galveston Channel, Tex.; and Galveston seawall extension. Entrance to Galveston Harbor is on Gulf of Mexico, on northern portion of Texas coast, 328 miles west of Southwest Pass on Mississippi River and 278 miles northeast from mouth of Rio Grande. Galveston Channel extends from a point in Galveston Harbor between Bolivar Peninsula and Fort Point across former inner bar to and along wharf front of Gal- veston, and has a length of about 5 miles and a width of 1,200 feet. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 520.) Previous projects. For details see page 669 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. Provides for a channel 800 feet wide and 42 feet deep, from deep water in Gulf of Mexico to a point between jetties 2 miles west of seaward end of north jetty, thence 800 feet wide and 40 feet deep to Bolivar Roads; a channel 36 feet deep at mean low tide and 1,200 feet wide from Bolivar Roads (outer end of old inner bar near Fort Point) to 43d Street; for two rubblestone jetties extending from Galveston Island (on the south) and Bolivar Peninsula (on the north) into Gulf of Mexico (south jetty is 35,900 feet long and north jetty 25,907 feet long); construction of 13 groins to protect seawall along gulf shore from about 12th to 61st Street, Galveston, Tex.; for an extension of seawall, which lies along gulf front of Galveston, from its angle at 6th Street and Broadway to south jetty, with protection at its junction with south jetty and for an extension of existing seawall in a southwesterly direction from 61st Street, a distance of approximately 16,300 feet along shore of Gulf of Mexico. Under ordinary conditions, mean tidal range in Galveston Har- RIVERS AND HARBORS - -GALVESTON, TEX., DISTRICT 627 bor is 1.6 feet on outer bar and 1.4 feet on inner bar with ex- treme ranges of 2.3 and 2.1 feet, respectively. Mean tidal range in Galveston Channel is about 1.3 feet and extreme range about 2 feet under ordinary conditions. Height of tides in both Galves- ton Harbor and channel is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" in winter season water surface may be depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps of Engineers) $18,803,000 and non-Federal $4,145,000 including $3,580,275 cash contributions and $564,725 lands.

At extreme south end of coast of Texas, about 7 miles north of mouth of Rio Grande and about 125 miles south of Port Aransas, Tex. Basin at Port Isabel is connected to main channel of Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Main channel is about 11/2 miles east of the basin. Existing project. Provides for an entrance channel 7 feet deep by 75 feet wide extending from main channel to Gulf of Mexico to inside the shoreline at Port Isabel, Tex., an inner chan- nel 6 feet deep by 50 feet wide from entrance channel to East Harbor Basin, and an irregular shaped harbor basin 6 feet deep having a surface area of about 7 acres. Under ordinary condi- tions mean tidal range is about 11/2 feet and extreme range is about 2 feet. Height of tides is dependent, to some extent on the wind, and, during strong "northers" in winter season, water sur- face in southern end of Laguna Madre may be raised 4 feet or more above mean low tide in the gulf. Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps of Engineers) $50,000 and non-Federal $61,000 including $50,000 contributed funds and $11,000 for lands. Existing project was authorized by Chief of Engineers (sec- tion 107, Public Law 86-645). Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for furnishing required lands.

SABINE-NECHES WATERWAY, TEX. Location. This is a consolidation of old improvements of "Harbor at Sabine Pass and Port Arthur Canal" and "Sabine- Neches Canal, including Sabine River to Orange and Neches River to Beaumont, Tex." Sabine Pass is on Gulf of Mexico approximately 58 miles east of Galveston and 280 miles west of Southwest Pass, Mississippi River. It connects Sabine Lake with the Gulf of Mexico. Port Arthur Canal extends from near upper end of Sabine Pass to Port Arthur docks at mouth of Taylors Bayou, a distance of 7 miles. Near its upper end, Sabine-Neches Canal joins and extends to mouth of Neches and Sabine Rivers. Waterway next extends up Neches River to Beaumont and up Sabine River to Orange.

S. ARMY, 1964 Project also provides for two stone jetties at Sabine Pass entrance from the gulf, western jetty to be 21,860 feet long and eastern jetty 25,270 feet long. Project further provides for re- moval of guard lock in Sabine-Neches Canal, construction of suitable permanent protective works along Sabine Lake frontage owned by city of Port Arthur to prevent dredged material from entering Sabine Lake and to prevent erosion of material deposited, reconstruction of Port Arthur Bridge, and relocation of PortArthur field office. 1Mean tidal variation at entrance is about 11/ feet, at Port Arthur 'about 1 foot, and at Orange and Beaumont about five- tenths foot. Prolonged north winds during winter season have depressed water surface as much as 3.4 feet below mean low tide while tropical disturbances have caused heights as much as 8 feet above meani row tide. Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps of Engineers) $47,738 000, excluiding expenditures on previous projects; and non-Federal $4,473,800, including $353,500 contributed funds, $32,000 valtie of useful work performed, and $248,000 value of expired service life of old bascule highway bridge at Port Arthur, Tex.; $1,532,800 lands and $2,307,500 relocations.

River rises in north central Texas and flows south- easterly about 760 miles, discharging into upper Galveston or Trinity Bay about one-half mile west of Anahuac, Tex. Anahuac is about '38 miles north of Galveston and 25 miles northeast of Seabro6k. (Ste -.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 1282.) Previous projects. For details see page 679 of Annual Report for 1963.' RIVERS AND HARBORS - -GALVESTON, TEX., DSTICT 649 6 Existing project. With abandonment of lock and dam con- struction, improvement of Trinity River by a channel 6 feet deep and of navigable width from mouth to Liberty (river mile 41.4) was left as existing project, being continued as provided fo± in River arid Harbor Act of July 25, 1912. Existing prject' .was modified by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, which ap- proved a comprehensive plan of development of Trinity River and tributaries, Tex., in accordance with reconmmendations in House Document 403, 77th Congress, 1st session, subject to such future modifications as in discretion of Chief of Engineers and Secretary of the Army may be advisable. That comprehensive plan of development provided for a navigable channel from a point in Galveston Bay at Houston Ship Channel to~ A terminus at Fort Worth, Tex. Such navigable channel was to' be not less than 9 feet deep and have a minimum bottom width of 200 feet in Galveston Bay and 150 feet in river section on tatngents; with shunting places and suitable widening on curves, and with a turning basin at Liberty. Navigation locks would have clear in- side dimensions of 75 by 400 feet. The 1945 act, however, author- ized construction at this time only that portion of channel as far upstream as Liberty, Tex. River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, further modified com- prehensive plan for Trinity River Basin development so as to locate section of navigation channel below Anahuac nearer east- ern shore of Trinity Bay, in accordance with recommendations of Chief of Engineers in House Document 634, 79th Congress, 2d session. This modification provides for a navigation channel 9 feet deep and 150 feet wide from Houston Ship Channel near Red Fish Reef along easterly shore of Galveston 'Bay with a protective embankment to mouth of Trinity River near Anahuac. Estimated first cost to the United States of approved compre- hensive plan for canalizatioil to Fort Worth is $96 million (1939 prices), with $1,760,000 annually for maintenance and operation. Estimated Federal cost of portion of comprehensive plan below Liberty is $7,750,000 (1949), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. This portion of project is being restudied. River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, further modified existing project as outlined in House Document 215, 87th Con- gress, 1st session, in interest of salinity control, navigation, water supply, fish and wildlife, recreation, and other uses, to provide for: (a) A multiple-purpose dam and reservoir at Wallisville, mile 329 on Trinity River, including an overflow section with crest 4 feet above mean sea level, a gate-controlled diversion channel to Trinity Bay, a navigation lock 56 feet wide and 400 feet long, and approach channel; all generally in accordance with plans of Dis- trict Engineer and with such modifications thereof as in discre- tion of Chief of Engineers may be advisable, including a larger lock if found justified; at an estimated cost of $9,920,000 for construction, and $177,000 annually for maintenance and opera- tion; with reimbursements by local interests estimated at $1,768,- 000 for construction and an average of $27,200 annually for maintenance, operation, and major replacements, provided that latter payment be made annually as a proportionate part of actual 650 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 costs incurred; and (b) incorporation of existing Federal projects designated as "Anahuac Channel, Texas", and "Mouth of Trinity River, Texas." There is no definite project for Anahuac Channel. River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905, contained an item for improving West Galveston Bay Channel, Double Bayou, and mouths of adjacent streams, including Trinity River, Anahuac Channel, and Cedar Bayou, but at time of appropriation no recommendation of definite channel dimensions had been made to Congress. A chan- nel 6 feet deep at mean low tide and 80 feet wide was dredged in 1905 from Galveston Bay to wharves at Anahuac, a distance of 16,000 feet. Latest published maps are in House Document 215 87th Congress. Under ordinary conditions mean tidal range in bay is from about 0.6 foot to about 1.2 feet. Height of tide is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong northerly winds in winter season the water surface may be depressed 1.5 feet below mean low tide. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, fully complied with. Section 2, River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, and section 101, River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, have not been fully complied with. Non-Federal contribu- tions estimated at $1,768,000 for Wallisville Reservoir. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities constructed at Ana- huac and on Trinity River between the mouth and point 38 miles upstream at Liberty, Tex. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. In addition to re- quired planning and continuation of ordinary operation and maintenance on other elements of the project, preconstruction planning on Wallisville Reservoir was initiated. Condition at end of fiscal year. Nine-foot navigation channel to Liberty, Tex., is 13 percent complete. Six-foot channel to Liberty was completed in 1925. Nine-foot channel to Liberty has been dredged to a depth of 9 feet below mean low tide over a bottom width of 150 feet from junction with Houston Ship Chan- nel to a point one mile below Anahuac, Tex. Six-foot channel from Galveston Bay to Anahuac, Tex,, was completed in 1911. Advance planning for the Wallisville reservoir was initiated. Authorized construction remaining consists of completing 9- foot navigation channel from one mile below Anahuac to Liberty, Tex., and multiple-purpose dam and reservoir at Wallisville, Tex., including a gate-controlled diversion channel to Trinity Bay, a navigation lock and approach channel.

ALBUQUERQUE DIVERSION CHANNELS PROJECT, NEW MEXICO Location. In area which comprises watersheds of ephemeral streams entering a 15-mile reach of Rio Grande from the east at Albuquerque, N. Mex., and vicinity. Combined drainage area of tributaries is about 260 square miles. Sandia Range of the Rocky Mountains, which is about 12 miles east of Rio Grande, forms eastern border of watersheds. Crest of mountain range rises more than a mile in height above river to an elevation of 10,692 feet above mean sea level. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map, Albu- querque, N. Mex., quadrangle, scale 1: 62,500.) Existing project. There is a serious flood problem on tribu- taries of Rio Grande from east in Bernalillo County, Albuquerque, N. Mex., and vicinity. Small detention dams, constructed by city on several of these tributary arroyos, are not adequate to control floods. Flash floods originating on steep slopes of Sandia Moun- tains inundate large portions of highly developed lowlands area adjacent to river. Central business district, mainland and divi- sion shops of Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, Federal and State highways, and commercial, industrial, residential, and suburban properties in lowlands are subject to flood damages. Plan of improvement consists of north and south diversion channels on high ground east of and parallel to valley. Channels are designed to carry floods equal in magnitude to standard proj- ect flood from all tributaries. Estimated Federal cost is $14,070,000 for construction and $930,000 for relocations, a total of $15 million. Estimated non- 696 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Federal cost, including required cash contribution of $440,000, is $9,500,000. Lands and damages costs are responsibility of local interests. Authorized by Flood Control Act of 1954 (H. Doc. 464, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published maps.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must make alterations to existing improvements, other than railroads, which may be required and prevent further encroachment upon existing defined waterways of tributaries by zoning or other means, or construct adequate waterways, or pro- vide other drainage facilities to prevent flood problems in heights area of Albuquerque from developing into one of serious propor- tions. Local cooperation requirements also include cash contribu- tion toward cost of construction in lump sum amounts equivalent to about 1.3 percent of total first cost of north diversion channel and about 3.4 percent of total first cost of south diversion channel. Total estimated cost to local interests, including cash contribu- tion toward cost of construction is $9,500,000. Preconstruction planning was initiated in 1956. Work was stopped in fiscal year 1959 as a result of failure of local interests to comply with requirements of local cooperation. (For last full report see Annual Report for 1959.) On November 21, 1958, 5-year notice of expiration of project authorization was issued to local interests. By act of State Legislature of New Mexico in 1963, Albuquer- que Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority was created to provide local sponsorship for project subject to election of Board of Directors and approval of bond issue to provide funds for the authority. On August 27, 1963, voters approved a $9.5 million bond issue for funding necessary local cooperation costs and elected a board of directors to serve as its governing body. Formal assurances of local cooperation were accepted 'by district on November 19, 1963. Operations and results during fiscal year. Following passage of the bond issue, project was reclassified from inactive to active (September 11, 1963), and planning and design was resumed. Design memorandum on Alameda outlet structure was initiated and completed. Revisions to general design studies and design memorandum on north diversion channel from Alameda outlet to Campus Wash and preparation of plans and specifications for Alameda outlet structure were initiated. Condition at end of fiscal year. Planning is about 46 percent complete. Plans and specifications for Alameda outlet structure (first construction item) are about 60 percent complete.

Dam is at river mile 340 on Rio Grande (river mile 0 being at intersection of New Mexico-Texas State line with inter- national boundary at El Paso, Tex.), near village of Cochiti, which is about 50 miles upstream from Albuquerque, N. Mex. (See Geo- logical Survey Maps, Cochiti Dam, N. Mex., Quadrangle and Santo Domingo Pueblo, N. Mex., quadrangle, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. Consists of an earthfill dam about 5.3 miles long with a maximum height of 251 feet above streambed. Proj- ect will extend generally in an east-west line across Rio Grande to a point about 2 miles east of Rio Grande and then south-ward across Santa Fe River. An uncontrolled spillway with a 460-foot- long ogee-weir and a 160-foot notch 10 feet deep in center will be at end of embankment on south side of Santa Fe River. Opera- tional releases for flood control and irrigation will be made through a 3-barrel gated conduit in left abutment on Rio Grande. No outlet will be provided on Santa Fe River. Dead storage in Santa Fe River and Canada de Cochiti arms of reservoir will be eliminated by means of conveyance channels. Construction will also involve relocation of a gravel-surfaced Forest Service road and an irrigation headworks and canal. Reservoir will have a 704 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 storage capacity of 492,000 acre-feet for flood control and 110,000 acre-feet for sediment, a total of 602,000 acre-feet. Storage capacity for permanent pool for recreation will be pro- vided by slightly modifying the operating procedures. Modifica- tion of project structures, except for specific recreation facilities, will not be necessary because of permanent pool. Estimated Federal cost is $49,100,000 for construction and $900,000 for lands and damages (including relocations), a total of $50 million. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1960 in lieu of authorized Low Chamita Dam of Chamita Reservoir "substitute plan" (S. Doc. 94, 86th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published maps). Existing project authorization was modified by Public Law 88- 293 to provide for conservation and development of fish and wildlife resources and for recreation, approximately 50,000 acre- feet of water for initial filling of a permanent pool of 1,200 surface acres in the reservoir, and thereafter sufficient water annually to offset evaporatign from such area.

JEMEZ CANYON RESERVOIR, N. MEX. Location. In Sandoval County, N. Mex., on Jemez River ap- proximately 2 miles upstream from confluence of Jemez River and Rio Grande, about 5 miles northwest of Bernalillo, N. Mex. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map for Bernalillo quadrangle, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. Consists of an earthfill dam 780 feet long with a maximum height of 136 feet above streambed, an off- channel uncontrolled saddle spillway 400 feet wide, and a 13-foot diameter gated outlet in left abutment with discharge capacity of 8,100 cubic feet per second with pool at spillway crest elevation. Reservoir, which controls 1,034 square miles of drainage area, is one unit of flood control phase of a comprehensive plan for Rio Grande and tributaries, N. Mex., and has a capacity of 73,- 000 acre-feet for flood control and 47,000 acre-feet for sediment control, in which 5,000 acre-feet of sediment have been deposited. 706 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 It is estimated that 70,000 acre-feet of storage will be available in the reservoir for flood control after 50 years of project life. Federal cost was $4,170,517 for construction and $6,900 for lands and damages, a total of $4,177,417. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 30, 1948, and May 17, 1950. Operations and results during fiscal year. Ordinary mainte- nance and operation continued. Reservoir was empty at start of fiscal year. A 2- and 3-day period of storage for sediment retention occurred in August and September, respectively. Spring runoff began March 30 and con- tinued intermittently through June 1, 1964. This flow was con- trolled for sediment retention. Maximum pool elevation of 5,- 142.3 feet occurred March 31, 1964, corresponding to 902 acre- feet of storage. Flood control regulation was not required. Res- ervoir was empty at end of fiscal year. Damages of $3,000 were prevented which are attributed to sedi- ment retention. Estimated total accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1963 were $475,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project was initiated May 1950 and completed May 1954.

RIO GRANDE FLOODWAY, N. MEX. Location. Project is one unit of flood control phase of com- prehensive plan of improvement for Rio Grande Basin in New Mexico. It is on Rio Grande and covers section of river com- mencing near Truth or Consequences (formerly Hot Springs) at about river mile 123 and extends up stream to lower end of Rio Grande Canyon approximately 14 miles upstream from Espanola, N. Mex., about river mile 394. Existing project. Consists of flood protection and major drainage improvements by channel rectification, levee enlarge- ment and construction, and bank stablization work where needed to protect levees. Construction of project is a joint undertaking by Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers. Portions to be done by Corps of Engineers will consist of levee enlarge- ment, construction, and bank protection work, with channel- rectification and drainage-rehabilitation work the responsibility of Bureau of Reclamation. Levees which were constructed by local interests exist through reach of river involved, but are not uniform as to grade, section, or standard of construction, and in many places are threatened by meandering river. Project is di- vided into five units as follows: FLOOD CONTROL--ALBUQUERQUE, N.

Estimated cost of this portion of floodway is not available. Originally it was included as part of overall floodway project estimated at $3 million. Studies to date do not provide a solution to flood problem on tributary arroyos at and in vicinity of Truth or Consequences, N. Mex. Work is being done by Bureau of Reclamation in this reach of the river; however, it involves channel rectification only, and does not include levee work for flood control which is responsibility of Corps of Engineers. Tributary arroyo problem is considered different from one described in H. Doc. 243 and additional authorization may be necessary for its solution. S To be restudied and excluded from estimated cost of project. Cost of this portion of proj- ect, July 1960, was estimated to be $6,200,000. 4 In addition, $1,650,000 incurred by Bureau of Reclamation in this reach. 5 In addition, $75,000 incurred by local interests in this reach. Construction of Albuquerque unit of floodway for interim pro- tection to city of Albuquerque was initiated in 1954 and com- pleted in 1956. Final cost of unit was $3,130,000 (1958) Federal cost, and $75,000 non-Federal cost for a total project cost of $3,205,000. Construction of Cochiti to Rio Puerco unit, which is second phase of construction of Rio Grande Floodway project, was com- pleted August 31, 1962. Federal cost $2,662,000 (1964) (Corps of Engineers only). Project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 30, 1948, and May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess., Localcontains which latest published maps.) cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local in- terests are responsible for all highway, bridge, and public utility relocations or replacements required in construction of project. All requirements of local cooperation for units of floodway al- ready completed fully complied with. Total costs for all require- ments of local cooperation for completed Albuquerque unit under terms of project authorization were $75,000. There were no non- Federal costs in connection with construction of Cochiti to Rio Puerco unit of floodway. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work on coopera- tive photogrammetric survey of Rio Grande was continued under memorandum agreement between U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps, consisting primarily of analyzing and indexing data obtained by survey. Espanola Valley unit of Rio Grande Floodway was reclassified from inactive to active category April 1, 1964, in view of favor- able action by local interests in connection with requirements of local cooperation. There were no flood damages prevented by completed units of floodway during fiscal year 1963. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1963 were $250,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of Albuquerque and Cochiti to Rio Puerco units of Rio Grande Floodways project 708 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 is complete.

SOCORRO DIVERSION CHANNEL, TRIBUTARIES OF RIO GRANDE, N. MEX. Location. On tributary arroyos which enter Rio Grande from west at and in vicinity of Socorro, N. Mex. Socorro is in west- central New Mexico on west bank of Rio Grande at river mile 210 (river mile 0 being at intersection of New Mexico-Texas State line with international boundary at El Paso, Tex.). Existing project. Practically entire city of Socorro and its environs are subject to flooding from tributary arroyos which enter Rio Grande from west at and near the city. Combined area of watersheds of streams involved extends westward from Rio Grande for about 18 miles to crest of Magdalena Mountains and has a maximum width of about 12 miles. Total watershed area above western edge of Rio Grande is 127.6 square miles. Tributaries in order from north to south are Nogal Canyon, Blue Canyon and its tributary Blast Canyon, Mines Wash, West Wash, Park City Arroyo, and its tributaries Smelter Arroyo and Socorro Canyon, and Arroyo de la Matanza. There are several minor arroyos (unnamed) between Nogal and Blue Canyons and between Park City Arroyo and Arroyo de la Matanza. Improvement consists of three major elements: A modification of existing Arroyo de la Matanza diversion; a diversion channel extending northward from lower Socorro Canyon to a point on Nogal Canyon about 2,000 feet west of U.S. Highway 60-85; and an outfall channel on Nogal Canyon from lower end of diversion channel to Rio Grande. Substantial control of floods on Rio Grande through Socorro will be provided by other authorized projects of comprehensive plan for flood control and other pur- poses for Rio Grande basin in New Mexico. System of levees, channels and diversions is designed to carry floods equal in magni- tude to standard project flood from all tributary arroyos. Federal cost was $2,352,800 for construction and relocations. Lands and damages costs are responsibility of local interests. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1958. (S. Doc. 58, 85th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published maps.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except for annual FLOOD CONTROL-ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 709 maintenance requirements. Total costs for all requirements of lo- cal cooperation were $330,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of di- version and outfall channels was completed in January 1964. Relocation of railroad bridge and grade raise under contract with Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway Co. was completed in June 1964. Completed project was transferred to city of Socorro on April 1, 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is complete, trans- ferred to city of Socorro for operation and maintenance.

TWO RIVERS RESERVOIR, RIO HONDO, N. MEX. Location. About 14 miles southwest of Roswell, N. Mex., on Rio Hondo. Rio Hondo is formed at confluence of Rio Ruidoso and Rio Bonito, near village of Hondo, N. Mex., in foothills region of Sierra Blanca in southeastern part of Lincoln County, N. Mex., and flows in a general easterly direction to its confluence with Pecos River near Roswell, N. Mex. (See U.S. Geological Sur- vey Map, Hondo Reservoir quadrangle, scale 1: 24,000.) Existing project. Consists of two earthfill dams, Diamond "A" Dam on Rio Hondo at about river mile 36 and Rocky Dam on Rocky Arroyo at about river mile 14, which will form Two Rivers Reser- voir. Diamond "A" Dam is 103 feet high and 4,918 feet long and Rocky Dam is 118 feet high and 2,920 feet long. Topography of site permits use of two natural saddles in limestone on rim of reservoir for spillways, which have a total length of 1,130 feet. One of the spillway saddles is between the dams and one is south of Rocky Dam. There is a gated outlet works structure in Diamond "A" Dam and an uncontrolled outlet in Rocky Dam. No provision is made for storage except for flood control. Flood releases will be controlled insofar as possible, so that flows through Roswell will not exceed channel capacity of Rio Hondo, which is 1,000 cubic feet per second. Capacity of Two Rivers Reservoir at spill- way crest is 168,000 acre-feet, of which 18,000 acre-feet are provided for sedimentation reserve, but which will be utilized for flood control until filled with sediment. Dam controls 963 square miles of drainage area on Rio Hondo and 64 square miles on Rocky Arroyo, a total of 1,027 square miles. Federal cost was $4,795,000, all for construction. Lands and damages costs are responsibility of local interests. There are no relocations involved. Project is based on interim report of Chief of Engineers on Rio Hondo at Roswell, N. Mex., prepared under the authority for a report on Pecos River and tributaries, Texas and New Mexico, granted by Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. (See H. Doc. 710 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 436, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published maps.) Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Septem- ber 3, 1954. Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for mainte- nance. Total cost to local interests, not including cost of annual maintenance, was $144,000, of which $60,000 was for construction of access road and $84,000 for lands and rights-of-way. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was completed and project placed in operation July 16, 1963. Three small flows occurred, two in 1963 and one in 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is complete.

Location. On Purgatoire River about 161 miles above its junc- tion with Arkansas River. Project is about 4 miles upstream from city of Trinidad, Colo. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map, Trinidad, Colo., quadrangle, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. Consists of an earthfill structure 6,650 feet long, with a maximum height of 200 feet above streambed, an uncontrolled spillway 1,000 feet wide in left abutment, and a 10-foot diameter, gate-controlled conduit in right abutment with discharge capacity of 4,700 cubic feet per second with water sur- face at top of flood control pool. Reservoir provides for storage of 51,000 acre-feet for flood control, 39,000 acre-feet for sediment, 20,000 acre-feet irrigation, and 4,500 acre-feet for recreation, a total of 114,500 acre-feet. Reservoir controls a drainage area of 671 square miles and will be operated for flood and sediment control, irrigation, and recreation purposes. Estimated Federal cost if $11,196,000 for construction, and $9,804,000 for lands and damages, a total of $21 million. Esti- mated average annual maintenance cost is $82,000 (1963), includ- ing estimated cost to local interests. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1958. (H. Doc. 325, 84th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest pub- lished maps.) An earlier authorization in Flood Control Act of 1944 (H.Doc. 387, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) provided flood protection for city of Trinidad by means of channel improvement. Authoriza- tion for Trinidad Reservoir project provides for abrogation of channel project at time of initiation of construction of Trinidad Dam. Local cooperation. Requirements based on approved general design memorandum studies: cash contribution by city of Trini- dad, Colo., toward cost of construction amounting to 4.5 percent FLOOD CONTROL-ALBUQUERQE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 711 of that portion of first cost allocated to flood control; repayment by Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District of first cost allocated to irrigation, generally in accordance with Federal Rec- lamation law procedures, except that repayment of the irrigation first costs shall extend over a period not to exceed 75 years; contribute annually an amount equal to 10 percent of joint-use operation and maintenance and major replacement costs; and maintain channel of Purgatoire River through city of Trinidad to a capacity of 15,000 cubic feet per second. In addition con- servancy district must make arrangements for transfer of Model Land and Irrigation Company's storage rights from existing Model Reservoir to Trinidad Reservoir. Storage for recreation purposes not included in authorized project plan; however, project document noted that substantial benefits would be derived from such use and that there was strong local support for such storage. Provision was made in project plan for 4,500 acre-feet of permanent storage for recrea- tion; however, since flows of Purgatoire River are fully appro- priated, water rights will have to be acquired by non-Federal interests. Estimated cost of initial filling of pool is $250,000 and replacement of evaporation losses will cost an estimated $21,400 per year. Lands and facilities for recreation will be provided at Federal expense, but cost of water rights will be borne by the State of Colorado. Formal assurances of local cooperation were received from both city of Trinidad and Purgatoire River Water Conservancy Dis- trict. Resolutions have been reviewed by Albuquerque District, but further action is being withheld pending outcome of Con- gressional action on a current bill to eliminate cash contribution required of city of Trinidad. Congressional action on bill has not been completed. If bill fails to pass, city of Trinidad will utilize profits from city-owned utilities and municipal power and light plant plus reserves on hand to finance required cash con- tribution. Project operating principles have been approved by conserv- ancy district, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Corps of Engineers, and Bureau of Reclamation. Operating principles have been presented to downstream interests in Arkansas Valley, in- cluding Arkansas River Compact Administration. As soon as satisfactory agreements are reached with these agencies and groups, conservancy district will begin court action to obtain a stipulated decree for transfer of storage rights from existing Model Reservoir to Trinidad Reservoir and finalize irrigation repayment contracts. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning continued to completion and all except administrative work was then suspended. Design memoranda on relocation of power, telephone, and city water supply lines, Colorado State Highway 12, county road, and Colorado & Wyoming Railroad, and plans and specifications for outlet works were completed. Cemetery relocation plan was submitted, but requires revision on basis of comments received. Local interests and Federal and State 712 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 agencies continued work on securing approval of project operat- ing principles and agreements with water users for irrigation repayments. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is complete. Plans and specifications for first construction contract are ready for advertising as soon as construction start is author- ized and local interests have complied with necessary requirements of local cooperation.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Cost of all work under this heading for fiscal year was $2,473. Included under this heading is inspection of completed flood control projects which have been transferred to local interests for operation and maintenance. Projects in Colorado and New Mex- ico were inspected. Fiscal year cost was $2,473 and total cost to June 30, 1964, was $19,562. 13. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Pursuant to section 7, Flood Control Act of 1944, expenditures were made for scheduling of flood control reservoir operations and preparation of reservoir regulation manual for Platoro Dam, lo- cated on Conejos River, near town of Platoro, Conejos County, Colo. Platoro Dam was authorized by Interior Appropriation Act of 1941 (see H. Doc. 693, 76th Cong., 3d sess.). Construction of project was completed by Bureau of Reclamation during fiscal year 1952. Reservoir elevation at start of fiscal year was 9,952.6 feet with corresponding storage of 6,000 acre-feet. Reservoir was held static, and inflow was passed until November 7,1963. Stored water was released from November 7 through 11, 1963, at which time the reservoir elevation was 9,942.3, with corresponding storage of 3,000 acre-feet. Flood control regulation was not made during the fiscal year. Reservoir elevation increased to 9,964.5 feet (volume 10,700 acre-feet) due to involuntary storage from spring runoff; this elevation was maintained remainder of fiscal year. There were no flood damages prevented by the project during fiscal year 1963. Estimated total accumulated flood damages pre- vented by project through fiscal year 1963 amount to $479,000. Costs during fiscal year were $1,657. Total costs to end of fiscal year were $31,129. GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS--ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 713 14.

ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN, ARK., OKLA., AND KANS. Location. Arkansas River rises in Rocky Mountains near Leadville, Colo., and flows southeastward for about 1,459 miles 715 716 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 through States of Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to join Mississippi River at a point about 575 miles above Head of Passes, La. (See U.S. Geological Survey State maps, scale 1:500,- 000.) Previous projects. For details see page 1066, Annual Report for 1932 and pages 744, 864, and 881, Annual Report for 1943. Existing project. Provides for improvement of Arkansas River Basin by construction of coordinated developments for naviga- tion, hydroelectric power, flood control, water supply, sediment control, recreation, and fish and wildlife propagation. Navigation features provide for a channel 9 feet deep and about 450 miles long, beginning at mouth of White River, which enters Mississippi River at a point about 590.5 miles above Head of Passes, La., thence about 10 miles upstream to mouth of Wild Goose Bayou; thence about 10 miles by a land cut, designated as Arkansas Post route to mile 42 (1943 survey) on Arkansas River; thence about 380 miles along channel of latter stream to mouth of Verdigris River at mile 460.2; thence about 50 miles up Verdigris River to head of navigation at Catoosa, Okla. Waterway will be canalized throughout its length by construction of 18 locks and dams, 4 of which may eventually include power. Power will be included initially in Dardanelle and Robert S. Kerr and is deferred in Ozark and Webbers Falls. Lock chambers are 110 by 600 feet on Arkansas and White Rivers and 84 by 600 feet on Verdigris River. A minimum channel width of 150 feet is proposed for Verdigris River and 250 feet for Arkansas and White Rivers.

PENSACOLA RESERVOIR, ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN, OKLA. Location. On Grand (Neosho) River, adjacent to town of Disney, Mayes County, Okla. (See U.S. Geological Survey maps for Pryor, Wyandotte, Vinita, Okla., and Siloam Springs, Ark., quadrangles, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. During fiscal year 1941 Grand River Dam Authority, an agency of State of Oklahoma, under a license issued by Federal Power Commission, completed construction of a reser- voir for flood control and hydroelectric power at Pensacola site in Arkansas River Basin. Dam is concrete, multiple arch type, 6,565 feet long and 147 feet above streambed. Existing dam and reservoir provides 1,653,000 acre-feet of storage to top of power pool and 245,000 acre-feet of flood control storage. Flood control storage lies between elevations 745 and 750. However, under terms of Federal Power Commission license, dam and appurte- nant structures were constructed to a height which would.allow storage of floodwaters to elevation 755 (Pensacola datum) when necessary lands or rights-of-way were acquired by Federal Government. Flood Control Act of 1941 modified general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes for Arkansas River Basin to include Pensacola, Markham Ferry, and Fort Gibson Reservoirs in Grand (Neosho) River Basin in Oklahoma and Missouri, in accordance with recommendations of Chief of Engineers in House Document 107, 76th Congress, 1st session. Improvements recom- mended in that document included a reservoir for flood control at Pensacola site which provided for 960,000 acre-feet of flood control storage. Existing project, which controls a drainage area of 10,298 square miles, provides 278,000 acre-feet of flood control storage between elevations 750 and 755 in addition to storage provided in project as constructed by Grand River Dam Authority. Flowage easements for certain portions of necessary lands have been ac- quired by Federal Government through Northwestern Power Administration, Department of the Interior, and Federal Works Agency. Estimated cost (July 1959) for acquisition of addition flowage easements necessary for operation of reservoir to eleva- tion 755 is $2,090,000. Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 1938, ap- plies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Flood control stor- age in project was operated by Grand River Dam Authority (an agency of State of Oklahoma) under direction of Corps of Engineers. Grand River Dam Authority was reimbursed for its expense in connection with maintaining and operating local pro- tection works at Wyandotte, Okla. One notable rise occurred on Grand (Neosho) River during fiscal year. Operation of reservoir for flood control in coordina- tion with other reservoirs in Arkansas River Basin, prevented flooding on about 2,800 acres of land and reduced river stage 9.2 feet at Muskogee, Okla. 794 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Project will be operated as part of comprehensive plan for Mis- souri River Basin and it is contemplated that, with reservoir control, substantially complete flood protection will be provided for the Kansas Citys. Units involve construction approximately as follows: Argentine unit: Original levees and floodwalls built by private interests were of sufficient height to protect district from design flood, but to correct inadequate design and improper materials used in constructing levees it was originally planned to strengthen levees, install necessary facilities for control of underseepage, and construct a pumping unit. Inadequacies of original construction of levees were corrected through proper de- sign and selection of materials in emergency restoration follow- ing 1951 flood. Additional pumping capacity was installed in Santa Fe pumping plant, levees surfaced and drainage outlets gated. Armourdale unit: Earth levee along left bank of Kansas River from mile 6.7 to 2.9 1 is of sufficient height to provide protection from design flood. Improvements consist of raising existing levee from mile 2.9 to 2.8; 1 construction of a new levee riverward of 1 existing floodwall from mile 2.8 to 1.7; and replacement of exist- ing floodwall from mile 1.7 to 1; 1 construction of a new levee from mile 1 to 0.7; 1 and raising existing streets and railroad tracks above design flood elevation between mile 0.7 and 0.25;1 with necessary alterations to James Street Bridge and intercity viaduct, and effecting a permanent raise of Missouri Pacific Rail- road bridge No. 1 (bridge raise shown under bridge and approach alterations, Kansas River unit). Central Industrial unit: Beginning at south end of Armour- Swift-Burlington Bridge over Missouri River, mile 365.6 2 pro- tection for district extends upstream along right bank of Missouri River to mouth of Kansas River, mile 367.5,2 a distance of 1.9 miles, and thence upstream along right bank of Kansas River to mile 3.4,1 in vicinity of Seventh Street Bridge a total distance of 5.3 miles. Improvements consist of concrete floodwalls and earth levees to protect portion of unit in the State of Missouri, and raising existing structures, new concrete floodwalls, and earth levees to protect portion of this unit in the State of Kansas. Fairfax-Jersey Creek unit: About 30,900 feet of earth levee, 1,981 feet of concrete floodwalls, and 32,100 feet of bank-pro- tection works, extending along right bank of Missouri River from a point immediately above Kansas City, Kans., water and light plant (mile 373.82) downstream to mouth of Kansas River, thence along left bank of Kansas River to vicinity of intercity viaduct (mile 0.3 1); pumping plants; and appurtenant works.

Consists of channel cleanout and a levee on left bank of Vermillion River from mouth to near Vermillion, channel improvements, straightening and levees from Vermillion to a point approximately 2 miles north of Davis, S. Dak., tieback levees on 15 smaller tributaries, removal of an old mill dam at Centerville to provide for unrestricted passage of design flow, channel enlargement, straightening and levees along Clay Creek from the mouth to the Chicago & North Western Railroad bridge near Volin; and tieback levees along lower mile of Turkey Creek. Estimated cost is $8,558,000 (July 1964), of which $7,350,000 is Federal cost and $1,208,000 is non-Federal cost. Federal cost includes an estimated $390,000 reimbursement by local interests. This reimbursement is in addition to the local cost of rights-of- way, etc., estimated at $1,208,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1960 substan- tially in accordance with recommendations of Chief of Engineers in House Document 426, 86th Congress, 2d session. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way required, including rights-of-way for ponding of interior drainage, provisions for all new highway and road bridges or alterations of existing bridges and approaches made necessary by project; relocation or modification of existing utility lines and systems; and removal of all buildings and improvements within right-of-way limits. No obligation of Federal funds shall be incurred for cost of this project where flood control benefits are exclusively for local flood control, as determined by Secretary of the Army (except costs of planning, design, and acquisition of water rights), unless the State or one or more other non-Federal entities shall have entered into an agreement in advance to assume at least 20 percent of cost (except costs of planning, design, and acquisition of water rights) of completed project allocated to production of local flood control benefits, payable either as construction proceeds, or pursuant to a contract provid- ing for repayment with interest within 50 years. Actual cost, 864 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 or fair market value of lands, easements, rights-of-way, and work performed or services rendered prior to completion or construc- tion of project, which are furnished by a non-Federal entity, shall be included in share of cost to be borne by non-Federal entity. Chief of Engineers considers that, in arriving at amount which local interests should contribute to meet 20-percent require- ment, they should be credited with estimated value at time of Federal construction, of work which they have performed since project plan was presented to and accepted by local interests, and which will contribute directly to production of local flood control benefits related to project. Local interests are also required to operate and maintain project after construction. On October 26, 1961, a meeting was held by local interests to initiate formation of Lower Vermillion Watershed District as legal entity to furnish local cooperation for project. A court order in April 1964 declared a deficiency in the petition to organize the district which required a new start in the organi- zational procedures. Operations and results during fiscal year. Planning activity was limited to contacts with local interests pending establishment of local cooperation. Condition at end of fiscal year. General design studies were essentially completed.

OHIO RIVER For actual construction of locks and dams, and operation and care of completed structures, river is divided into three sections under immediate supervision and direction of district engineers at Pittsburgh, Huntington, and Louisville. Pittsburgh section extends from head of river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to a point between Captina Island and Powhatan Point, a distance of 109 miles, and includes Emsworth, Dashields, Mont- gomery, and New Cumberland locks and dams, and locks and dams 10 through 13, inclusive; Huntington section extends from mile 109 to 438 immediately upstream from Foster, Ky., a dis- tance of 329 miles, and includes locks and dams 14 to 23, inclusive, Gallipolis and Greenup locks and dams, locks and dams 31 and 32, and Captain Anthony Mehldahl locks and dams. Louisville section extends from mile 438 to mouth of river, a distance of 543 miles, and includes Markland locks and dam, McAlpine locks and dam (with Louisville and Portland Canal) and locks and dams 43 to 53, inclusive.

Tributary navigation projects and all flood control projects in Ohio River Basin are in reports of districts included in Ohio River Division. 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON OHIO RIVER Location. Ohio River is formed by junction of Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows in a general southwesterly direction for 981 miles to join Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For description of river see page 1227, 1932 Annual Report. Previousprojects. For details see page 1907 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. Provides for improvement of entire river by construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for widening Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. Project provides for a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each of the dams and, in addition, an auxiliary lock 56 by 360 feet is available at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and McAlpine locks and dam with an auxiliary lock at Gallipolis being 110 by 360 feet. Dashields is a fixed dam, while Emsworth, Montgomery, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. Remaining dams are movable type, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to navigable pass, movable-type dams are also provided with one or more regulating weirs. At McAlpine locks and dam a canal (Louisville and Port- land) extends along left bank for 2 miles, with locks at lower end. Modifications to existing project under purview of section 6, act of March 3, 1909 provide for fixed dams with movable crests with two locks (110 by 1,200 feet and 110 by 600 feet) at New 875 876 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Cumberland, Pike Island, Hannibal, Willow Island, Belleville, Racine, Greenup, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, Cannel- ton, Newburgh, Uniontown and Mound City, reconstruction to provide a 110- by 1,200-foot lock in addition to existing locks and a fixed dam with two sections of moveable crest at McAlpine locks and dam, and widening Louisville and Portland Canal to 500 feet. Operation and care of locks and dams were included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropriations Re- peal Act of June 26, 1934. Estimated Federal cost of new work (existing project) (1964), exclusive of Gallipolis locks and dam reported under Kanawha River project is $1,050,396,650; estimated non-Federal cost is $7,351,000. Foregoing estimate does not include expenditures on previous projects. Following items previously included in this project are con- sidered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate: Raising crest of dam 14; construction of beartraps at dam 21; construction of additional beartraps at dams 18, 22, 23, 27, 30, 39, and 43; and construction of guard wall and guide wall exten- sions at locks and dams 35, McAlpine, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 51 and 52. Estimated cost of these items (revised 1954) was $11,064,700. Under authority granted in River and Harbor Act of June 25, 1910, Louisville and Portland Canal was widened to 200 feet; locks and dams 40 and 42 eliminated; locks and dams 1 and 2 replaced by Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam 3 replaced by Dashields locks and dam; and locks and dams 4, 5, and 6 re- placed by Montgomery locks and dam. Locks and dams 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam which was authorized by act of August 30, 1935, and constructed under project for improving lower Kanawha River. Locks and dams 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by New Cumberland locks and dam, locks and dams 27, 28, 29 and 30 were replaced by Greenup locks and dam, locks and dams 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39 were replaced by Markland locks and dam, locks and dams 33 and 34 were re- placed by the nearly complete Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam, and the Louisville and Portland Canal has been widened to 500 feet, as modifications to existing project under purview of section 6, act of March 3, 1909, reducing total number of struc- tures to 36.

Lock and dam 53, $1,144, work physically completed in fiscal year 1963. Condition at end of fiscal year. Navigation system of 36 locks and dams is in operation and 9-foot navigation throughout entire length of river is generally available at all times. At certain unstable bars project depth is maintained by dredging, supple- mented by contraction works. (See "Open-channel work, Ohio River.") Table A under "Existing project" shows cost and year of completion of locks and dams now in operation. Existing project does not provide adequate facilites for present-day navigation due to obsolescence of structures. Since repair and modernization of these facilities would be extremely costly, re- placement and reconstruction is being undertaken as rapidly as funds can be made available for the purpose. Construction of following locks and dams was initiated during fiscal year 1955: New Cumberland locks and dam (Stratton, Ohio) to replace locks and dams 7, 8, and 9; and Greenup locks and dam (near Greenup, Ky.) to replace locks and dams 27, 28, 29, and 30. Construction was initiated in fiscal year 1956 of Markland locks and dam (near Markland, Ind.) to replace locks and dams 35, 36, 87, 38, and 39. Reconstruction of McAlpine locksand dam was initiated during fiscal year 1957. Construction was initiated in fiscal year 1958 of Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam (near New Richmnond, Ohio) to replace locks and dams 31, 32, 33, and 34. Construction was initiated in fiscal year 1959 of Pike Island locks and dam (near (Warwood, W. Va.) to replace locks and-dams 10 and 11. Con- struction of Belleville locks and dam to replace locks and dams 18, 19, and 20 and Cannelton locks and dam to replace locks and dams 43, 44, and 45 was initiated in fiscal year 1962. Construction of Racine locks and dam to replace locks and darms 21, 22, and 23 was initiated in fiscal year 1964. New Cumberland, Greenup and Mark- land locks and dams are in operation and structures replaced by these projects have been removed. Two of the structures being re- placed by Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam, locks and dams 33 and 34, have been removed. 882 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Under jurisdiction of district engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to limits of the three districts on Ohio River, see page 875. Portion of river included in project extends from head of river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to mouth of Cache River (Mound City, Ill.), a distance of 974.7 miles. Open-channel improvement from mouth of Cache River to mouth of Ohio River is under jurisdiction of Mississippi River Commission. Existing project. Prior to completion of canalization project, no project depth had been fixed by Congress under project for open-channel work, but in order to properly aid packet and barge navigation it was found necessary to secure a low-water channel having a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depend- ing upon difficulty of running channel, of from 400 to 600 feet; also to permit movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was found neces- OHIO RIVER 883 sary to remove points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along river. Accomplishment of this purpose involved concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, contraction and straightening of wide, open channels by low dikes, dredging bars and shoals, and removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to direct improvement of Ohio River is construction and maintenance of ice piers as required for protection of river craft. Stage of extreme high water on Ohio River varies from 46 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). Estimated cost of new work (1960) is $16,160,000, exclusive of. following items which are considered inactive: Ice piers author- ized by River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927; reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., author- ized by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930; dredging to widen channel at certain points; and placing revetment at various points. Estimated cost of these items, revised in 1954, was $6,565,000. Operation of snag boats on Ohio River below Pennsylvania State line was included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. Existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents Mar. 3, 1827 Project adpoted by this act originally covered entire length of Ohio River from its mouth near Cairo to Pittsburgh, a distance of 981 miles. It provided for removal of all ob- structions which tend to endanger steamboat navigation. Jan. 21, 1927 Construction of ice piers as a part of project, with funds H.

Doc. 434, 84th Cong., 2d sess. existing Licking River Channel within lower 3-mile limit of River slack water, at an estimated increase of $1,000 in cost of average annual maintenance. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, authorizing construction of ice piers for general open-channel work, imposes condition that before work is begun on any pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.). Existing ice piers are adequate for present purposes and local cooperation is not needed since no additional construction is un- der consideration. River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for acquiring lands re- quired for purpose of this improvement (H. Doc. 409, 69th Cong 1st sess.). However, since no serious overbank erosion has oc- curred since bank revetment in 1933-34, reforestation is not 884 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 considered justifiable at this time and no local cooperation is required. Terminal facilities. See page 880. Operations and results during fiscal year. Dredging, where required to provide an adequate and dependable channel of proj- ect depth at minimum pool conditions, was executed. Dike and revetments were maintained and routine work of maintaining navigation aids, removing snags, making channel studies, hydro- graphic surveys and mapping was performed as required. Design memorandum for repair of Kentucky Peninsula revetment was completed. Operation and maintenance general: Channel soundings, hydrographic surveys, §tream gaging operations, channel in- spections and aids to navigation, and miscellaneous inspections and reports cost $359,693. Dredging by hired labor cost $165,133, Pittsburgh District, for 351,451 cubic yards; $289,820, Hunting- ton District, for 941,000 cubic yards; and $328,213, Louisville District, for 2,134,909 cubic yards. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under this project is substantially complete, since it is not anticipated that work on inactive portion of project will be accomplished. In addition to dredging, local stabilization of channel has been effected at var- ious points by construction of dikes and revetment. Work which remains consists of dredging to widen channel at certain points to project depth.

CUMBERLAND RIVER, TENN. AND KY. Location. Formed by junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 694.2 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky,, from whence it makes a loop south- westward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns north- westward to Kentucky, emptying into Ohio River near Smith- land, Ky. (See U.S. Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee and Kentucky.) Previous projects. For details see pages 1898 and 1901 of An- nual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. Below Nashville: Prior to adoption of 9- foot navigable channel defined in suceeding paragraphs, project for this section of river provided for construction of locks and dams A, B, C, D, E, and F, and dredging in the 43.6 miles from lock F to mouth to secure 6-foot navigation at extreme low water from mouth to lock and dam 1, Nashville, Tenn. (188.4 miles above mouth), first lock constructed under project for section of river above Nashville. Surmounting of dams A to F with movable crests was also provided. 885 886 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Dredging in lower river was made unnecessary by construction of lock and dam 52, Ohio River, which created a pool of more than 6-foot depth from lock F to mouth. Cost of new work for completion of 6-foot navigation project was $4,706,883, excluding amounts expended on previous pro- jects. For pertinent data concerning locks and dams A to F, see page 1070 of Annual Report for 1962. River and Harbor Act of July 24, 1946, authorized further improvement of Cumberland River between mouth and Nashville for 9-foot navigation; increased project depth to be obtained by construction of three moderate height dams with lockage facili- ties, designated at Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace existing locks A to F, inclusive, below Nashville, and lock 1, above Nashville. (See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) In addition to supplemental authority granted in Public Law 396, 82d Congress, 2d session, which provided for construction of hy- droelectric power-generating facilities at Cheatham Dam, river mile 148.7, River and Harbor Act of 1954 authorized further modification of project for navigation on Cumberland River, Tenn. and Ky., to provide, in lieu of previously authorized works at Kuttawa, mile 32.2, and Dover, mile 100.1, for construction of a multiple-purpose improvement for navigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power consisting of a dam, lock, and power- plant in vicinity of mile 30.6 on lower Cumberland River and a canal for navigation and other purposes connecting proposed re- servoir with reservoir formed by Kentucky Dam on the Tennessee River. Public Law 537, 84th Congress, 2d session, provided that the dam to be constructed on lower Cumberland River, Ky., authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1954, and the reservoir to be formed by waters impounded by such dam, should thereafter be known as Barkley Dam and Lake Barkley, respectively. Pro- vision of interconnecting canal, involving excavation of a channel through narrow watershed divide at a point about 2.5 miles up- stream from damsite, will make alternative routes available for navigation between either Cumberland or Tennessee Rivers and Ohio River, and will afford integrated operation of Barkley and Kentucky Reservoirs through diversion of flows in interests of flood control and power production. Estimated cost of modified project for 9-foot navigation and multiple-purpose development is $175,486,300 (July 1964).

Under flood conditions as regulated by upstream reservoirs, extreme fluctuation in stage of river below Nashville, Tenn., varies at different localities from about 16 to 48 feet. Ordinary fluctua- tions vary with power flows from as much as the allowable 3- foot drawdown below normal pool elevation 385 at Cheatham Dam to a range of about 5 feet above that level at Nashville, with variations up to 7 feet in reach of river below Cheatham Dam. Above Nashville: River and Harbor Acts of August 5, 1886, March 2, 1907, March 2, 1919, and June 5, 1920, provided for construction of locks and dams 1 to 17 and 21 to secure 6-foot navigation at low water from Nashville (lock and dam 1, 188.4 miles above mouth) to Waitsboro Shoals (324.6 miles), and 4-foot navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles); provision also being made for periodic removal of snags and similar obstructions from Nashville (lock and dam 1) to Burn- side (327.6 miles). Project as modified by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, further provided for raising dam No. 1 by 3 feet (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 26, 70th Cong., 2d sess.). Under above authority, locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 888 REPORT OF THE CHIEFtOF ENGINEERSU. S. ARMY, 1964 21 were completed and placed in operation during 1888 through 1924. Raising of dam 1 by installation of crest wickets was completed in October 1931. Proposed locks and dams 16 and 17 were eliminated from project upon authorization of Lake Cum- berland (Wolf Creek Reservoir), construction of which has also resulted in permanent inundation of lock and dam 21. Further consideration of previously projected locks and dams 9 through 15, inclusive, is precluded under existing project as modified by River and Harbor Act of 1946, prosecution of which has resulted in replacement of locks and dams 1 through 7 and will ultimately eliminate lock and dam 8. Statistical data concerning lock and dam 8, placed in an inop- erative status in 1951, are tabulated on page 1694 of Annual Report for 1950; together with details on locks and dams 1 to 7 and 21, displaced, and other structures originally contemplated under project (pp. 1694 and 1695). River and Harbor Act of 1946 also authorized, in addition to further improvement for navigation between mouth and Nash- ville, construction of Old Hickory, Carthage, and Celina Dams above Nashville for navigation and power. Public Law 85-843, provided that dam and reservoir authorized for construction on Cumberland River near Carthage, Tenn., shall be known as Cor- dell Hull Dam and Reservoir.

For dates on which completed structures were placed in operation, see table under "Existing project," Annual Report for 1950. Lock and dam 21, completed in October 1911, has since been inundated by Lake Cumberland (described on page 909), which also eliminated projected locks and dams 16 and 17. Operation of lock 21 was discontinued May 4, 1947; custodial services only being maintained until May 31, 1949, at which time the structure was abandoned. Lock and dam 1, demolished in connection with construction of Cheatham project below Nash- ville, was closed to navigation October 15, 1954. Locks and dams 3 and 4 were operated to June 12 and December 18, 1954, respec- tively, and have been inundated with filling of Old Hickory Res- ervoir. Operation of lock and dam 2 was discontinued Decem- ber 5, 1956, and demolished with construction of Old Hickory project, as have locks 5, 6, and 7, which were permanently closed June 30, 1956. Old Hickory project provides a through channel for 9-foot navigation on Cumberland above Nashville to vicinity of Carthage, Tenn., at river mile 308, present head of navigation. Owing to cessation of river traffic above that locality, lock 8 was placed in an inoperative status November 30, 1951. New work under authorized modification of existing project for this section of river, as a whole, was 36 percent complete. Engineering and design were 56 percent complete. Construction of Old Hickory under modified project was under- taken in January 1952.

Lower reaches of channels of the two tributary creeks would be widened to a minimum of 32 feet for 1,200 and 680 feet, respectively. Other incidental construction includes bridge pier modifications and relocation of water mains. Works are designed to provide a reasonable degree of protection, resulting in pre- vention of approximately 95 percent of experienced average an- nual flood losses. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. Estimated cost of new work (July 1964) is $530,000 for con- struction, Federal; and $180,000 ior lands and damages, non- Federal. Local cooperation. Project was originally planned for partial protection by channel clearing and cleaning, and has been carried in an inactive status for a number of years following perfor- mance of major portion of work by local interests without expense to the Government. Recent study indicated economic feasibility of more extensive improvement as now contemplated, which can properly be accomplished within discretionary authority of Chief of Engineers under existing project authorization. In accordance with this authorization, provisions of Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, pertaining to ordinary conditions of coop- eration with respect to lands and damages, relocations, and main- tenance of works of improvement after completion, shall apply; and local interests also shall prescribe and enforce regulations to prevent encroachment upon stream channel after construction of project. Assurances of compliance with required conditions were furnished in form of a resolution of city council accom- panying a letter of Mayor of Cumberland, Ky., dated September 7, 1962.

Formed by con- fluence of Estill and Hurricane Forks, in northwest corner of Jackson County, Ala., flows generally south about 60 miles and empties into Wheeler Reservoir at a point 5.8 miles below Gun- tersville Dam and 12 miles northwest of town of Guntersville, Marshall County, Ala. Existing project. Improvement was authorized by Flood Con- trol Act of September 3, 1954, in general accordance with re- commendations of Senate Document 161, 83d Congress, 2d ses- sion, subject to certain conditions of local cooperation. Principal features of project consist of clearing main stream of snags and obstructions, removal of timber along banks, and excavation of channel at critical points, combined with a drainage system to be constructed by local interests. Plan provides for clearing, cleaning, and minor straightening of channel of Paint Rock River for about 53 miles, extending from about mile 7 (above mouth) to its head at junction of Hurricane and Estill Forks; and for similar work within lowermost reaches of principal tributary streams as follows: Little Paint Creek, 4.8 miles; Guess Creek, FLOOD CONTROL--NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 903 1.8 miles; Hurricane Fork, 2.1 miles; Larkin Fork, 2.5 miles; and Estill Fork, 3 miles. These improvements are designed to afford an outlet adequate to permit undertaking by local interests of drainage and related works on some 27,000 acres of land within watershed. Flows resulting from more rapid concentra- tion of runoff from upstream drainage works will be accommo- dated by improved channel without raising crest elevations over those occurring under natural conditions. Major benefits will re- sult from increased net returns from agricultural lands and re- duced maintenance on existing improvements. Estimated (July 1964) total cost of project is $2,797,000, of which $1,737,000 is for upstream drainage works, to be provided entirely by local interests, and $1,060,000 for work on main stream and tributary channels to be provided jointly by local interests and United States with costs thereof to be shared as follows: $811,000 for construction, Federal; and $249,000 for lands and damages, non-Federal. Local cooperation. Authorizing act specified that provisions of Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, pertaining to ordinary conditions of cooperation with respect to lands and damages and maintenance of works of improvement after com- pletion, shall apply; and that local interests shall also construct and maintain local drainage works required to fully and effec- tively utilize improved outlet system. On-farm drainage and lateral channel improvement work are well underway. All lands required for purposes of main stem improvement in Madison and Marshall Counties have been acquired, as have about 55 percent of remaining tracts in Jackson County. Operations and results during fiscal year. Remaining work was completed under a continuing contract for units 2 and 3 of the project, extending between river miles 22 and 39.5, and con- sisted of clearing the channel and river banks, excavation, and removal of old mill dams. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in August 1962, and with accomplishment of work units 1, 2, and 3 (river mile 7 to 39.5), project as a whole was 39 percent complete.

Damsite is at mile 2.3 on Laurel River, a tributary of Cumberland River, in south-central Kentucky. The two streams meet at a point about 9 miles below Cumberland Falls, a 910 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 prominent physiographic feature at head of Lake Cumberland which is formed by Wolf Creek Dam. Reservoir will extend 19.2 miles upstream to site of Corbin, Ky., water-supply dam and lie within Laurel and Whitley Counties. Existing project. Designed for purposes of flood control, power, and recreation as an integral unit of a coordinated plan for development of water resources of Cumberland River Basin, this project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960, in general accordance with recommendations of House Document 413, 86th Congress. Plan of improvement incorporates 74,900 acre-feet of flood control storage in proposed project and corre- sponding adjustment in operations of Lake Cumberland (Wolf Creek Dam) for flood control and power. This constitutes a transfer of reservoir capacity which will entail no change in flood control benefits, but will result in a net gain in power poten- tial on a system basis through increased power production at Wolf Creek and at other hydroelectric plants downstream. Phys- ical modifications are required only at Wolf Creek project, con- sisting of spot clearing to permit maintenance of a higher reservoir pool elevation. Expense of such clearing is included in total cost of Laurel River Reservoir estimated as $22,700,000 (July 1964). Dam will be rockfill type, approximately 1,425 feet long and about 284 feet above its lowest foundation. An uncon- trolled spillway will be in a saddle on left bank about 400 feet from dam, consisting of an uncontrolled rock cut 750 feet long, discharging into an unlined lateral channel which will direct flows back into main stream some distance below project site. A powerhouse of conventional indoor-type, with an installation of 50,000 kilowatts in a single unit, is to be situated directly at downstream toe of dam. At top of flood control pool, spillway crest at elevation 1,020 above mean sea level, reservoir will cover an area of 6,240 acres. It will provide a total storage capacity of 444,800 acre-feet, including flood control allowance of 74,900 acre- feet between elevations 1,020 and 1,007, active storage of 194,900 acre-feet within a drawdown range of 45 feet allocated for power production, and leaving a pool of at least 175,000 acre-feet at elevation 962, covering an area of 3,380 acres, available at all times for public use and conservation purposes. Local cooperation. None required; section 2, Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Engi- neering and design studies continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project has not started. Engineering and design studies were about 25 per- cent complete.

Formed by junction of Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows north- erly for 128.7 miles to its junction with Allegheny River, forming Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (See U.S. Geological Survey charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects. For details see Annual Report for 1963, page 1070. Existing project. Provides for improvement of river by 11 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh, to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks and dams 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by new locks and dam 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated enlargement and improvement of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by building two parallel chambers and fixed RIVERS AND HARBORS - -PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 989 concrete dams during 1905 to 1932. Locks and dam 1 were elim- inated in 1938 by raising Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. Recon- struction of lock 2 was completed in 1953 to provide two modern navigation chambers. Locks and dams 5 and 6 are now obsoles- cent and inadequate for present traffic. Construction of Maxwell locks and dam and raising dam 4 is underway to replace these old locks. Existing project was authorized by the following: Acts Work authorized Documents and reports Mar. 3, 1899 Enlargement and improvement of lock and dam 6; additional Annual Report, 1897, p. 2423. works at lock 3; new repair steamer and new dredge boat with equipment; all at an estimated cost of $185,556.

On Tygart River in Taylor County, W. Va., about 22.7 miles above mouth of river at Fairmont, W. Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W. Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa. Reservoir is in Taylor and Barbour Counties, W. Va. (See U.S. Geological Survey charts for Fairmont, Thorn- ton, and Belington, W. Va.) Existing project. A reservoir for low water regulation and flood control. Dam is concrete gravity type with an uncontrolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections joining valley sides. Project was authorized by Public Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935. For further project description see Annual Report for 1962. Cost of new work for completed project is $18,431,844. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated for benefit of flood control and low water regulation, as required, and project struc- tures were maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two rises along Monongahela and upper Ohio Rivers dur- ing which this reservoir, in coordination with other reservoirs in 994 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 upper Ohio River Basin, achieved significant reductions. For storm and flood of March 2-7, crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir varied from 2.7 feet at lock 15, Monongahela River, W. Va., to 1.45 feet on Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. For storm and flood of March 8-11, crest stage reductions by this reservoir varied from 0.7 foot at lock 5, Monongahela River, Pa., to 0.4 foot at Pittsburgh, Pa. For the two floods, reductions on Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., were 1.75 feet and 0.4 foot, respectively. Maximum storage in Tygart Reservoir during com- bined flood periods was 170,740 acre-feet (61 percent full). Crest stages on Ohio River at Pittsburgh for these floods were 27.6 and 31.6 feet on the 6th and 11th, respectively (flood stage, 25 feet). During remainder of year storage of a moderate rise into reser- voir averted suspension to navigation along Monongahela River for 8/4 day. In conjunction with other reservoirs during three moderate rises the reservoir prevented overtopping of Mononga- hela parking wharf in Pittsburgh for total of 5 days. Estimated flood control benefits achieved by this reservoir for year were $5,603,700. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964, are $59,818,400. During 31 days in September and October runoff was deficient in Monongahela River Basin so that normal pool stages and navi- gation were maintained in Monongahela River only by release of navigation storage. Reservoir storage provided water supply to city of Grafton, W. Va. Some reservoir management activity continued throughout the year, comprising sanitation measures, real estate management, and operation and maintenance of public-use facilities. This work was limited in scope as West Virginia has jurisdiction over recreation in reservoir area. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is com- plete. Reservoir is in operation for low water control in Monon- gahela River and for flood protection in Monongahela and Ohio Valleys. Construction of dam was started in 1935 and placed in operation in 1938.

For details see Annual Report for 1929, page 1274, and Annual Report for 1938, page 1261. Existing project. Provides for channel maintenance in lower 1.3 miles of river from mouth to 15th Street, McKeesport, Pa., located within beneficial slack-water created by dam 2, Mononga- hela River. New work portion of project, consisting of canalization of river from mouth to West Newton, Pa., a distance of 19.3 miles, to provide a navigable depth of 9 feet by construction of two locks and dams, is considered inactive. Estimated cost of this portion, revised in 1946, was $8,785,000. Existing project was authorized by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 9, 61st Cong., 2d sess.) Project was modified by Chief of Engineers September 7, 1934, to provide for two locks and dams in lieu of three locks and dams previously authorized (no printed report.) Map of river is in House Document 82, 56th Congress, 1st session. Terminal facilities. Privately maintained terminals for un- loading coal, sand, gravel, manufactured products, etc., ample for present requirements, exist at McKeesport, Pa. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Contract was awarded for channel dredg- ing from mouth to Jerome Street Bridge, McKeesport, Pa., mile 0.2. Condition at end of fiscal year. Channel dredging from mouth to Jerome Street Bridge, McKeesport, Pa., mile 0.2, by contract, had not been started. Effect of pool 2, Monongahela River, sup- plemented by periodic dredging, permits movement in lower 1.3 mile reach of river by commercial tows. At present a channel depth of 9 feet exists from mouth to above .mile 0.2 providing normal navigation requirements in this reach. Above this point channel is currently not maintained due to lack of commerce.

BERLIN RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. Dam is on Mahoning River about 73 miles above its confluence with Shenango River. It is about 10 miles above exist- ing Milton Reservoir Dam and 35 miles upstream from Warren, Ohio. Reservoir is in Portage, Mahoning, and Stark Counties, Ohio. (See U.S. Geological Survey charts for Warren, Ravenna, and Alliance, Ohio.) Existing project. A reservoir for flood control and water sup- ply. Dam consists of a partially controlled, concrete gravity, center spillway flanked by rolled-earthfill abutment sections join- ing valley sides. Project was selected for construction under general authorization for Ohio River Basin in Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. For further project description, see Annual Report for 1962, page 1233. Estimated cost for new work (1964) is $7,312,500. Local cooperation. None required by law. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Prep- aration of plans and specifications for development of Mill Creek recreation area were completed and approved and a contract awarded at cost of $23,213. Operation and maintenance general: Reservoir was operated as required and necessary repairs were made to structures and appurtenances throughout the year at cost of $72,750. In addition thereto, service road was repaired under contract at cost of $11,617. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two significant rises along Mahoning, Beaver, and upper Ohio Rivers during which this reservoir in coordination with other reservoirs in upper Ohio River Basin, achieved significant reductions. For storm and flood of March 4-7 crest stage reduc- tions attributed to this reservoir along Mahoning River varied from 3.2 feet at Warren, Ohio, to 2.85 feet at Youngstown, Ohio. For storm and flood of March 8-11 crest stage reductions by this reservoir varied from 4.7 feet at Warren to 3.9 feet at Youngs- town. For the two floods reductions on Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., were 0.25 and 0.2 foot, respectively. Crest stages at Youngstown for these floods were 12.4 and 12.75 feet, respectively (flood stage, 10 feet). Operation of reservoir during two high water periods in April 1964 resulted in achieving flood control benefits along Mahoning River Valley. Monetary flood control benefits for year were estimated at $10,078,500. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964 are $76,501,000. 998 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Regulated low flows at Leavittsburg, Ohio, during July 1- October 31 averaged 214 cubic feet per second and represented a ratio of 5.8 of regulated flow to natural flow. Thus, this reservoir achieved significant benefits from low-flow augmentation for populated areas using upper Mahoning River and in conjunction with Mosquito Creek Reservoir significant benefits along highly industrialized Mahoning River below Niles, Ohio. Water supply diversion from Berlin Reservoir by Mahoning Valley Sanitary District for domestic consumption was made under contract demands of 6 and 13 million gallons per day for July-December 1963 and January-June 1964, respectively. Total water withdrawal for year was 1.993 billion gallons or 6,120 acre- feet. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and opera- tion and maintenance of public-use facilities continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is com- plete and in operation for flood control and low-water regulation purposes in industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Construction of dam was started January 1942 and completed June 1943. Land acquired for project consists of 6,931 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 1,059 acres. Remaining work consists of provision on project lands of additional recreational facilities required to serve public needs.

Operation and main- tenance, general: Reservoir was operated for benefit of flood con- trol, as required, and necessary repairs were made to structures and appurtenances throughout the year. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two rises along the Allegheny and upper Ohio Rivers dur- ing which this reservoir in coordination with other reservoirs in upper Ohio River Basin achieved significant reductions. For storm and flood of March 4-7 crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir for both lock 4, Allegheny River, and on Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. were 0.2 foot. For storm and flood of March 8-11 crest stage reductions by this reservoir varied from 1.2 feet along Kiskiminetas River at Vandergrift to 0.5 foot at Pittsburgh, Pa. For the two floods, reductions on Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., were 0.25 and 0.45 foot, respectively. Crest stages on Ohio River at Pittsburgh for these floods were 27.6 and 31.6 feet on the 6th and 11th, respectively (flood stage, 25 feet). During remainder of year, in conjunction with other reservoirs, during three moderate rises the reservoir prevented overtopping of Monongahela Parking wharf in Pittsburgh for a total of 5 days. Monetary flood control benefits for year were estimated at $8,534,100. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964 are $46,193,700. Reservoir attained highest elevation of the year, 955.60, on March 12, 1964, with a storage of 45,470 acre-feet or 47 percent full. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and opera- tion and maintenance of public-use facilities continued.

Project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 22, 1936, and June 28, 1938. For 1010 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 further project description see Annual Report for 1962, page 1210. Cost of completed project is $6,421,345. Local cooperation. None required by law. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Operation and main- tenance, general: Reservoir was operated for benefit of flood con- trol, as required, and necessary repairs were made to structures and 'appurtenances throughout the year at cost of $51,232. In ad- dition thereto; replacement of low discharge valves was under- way by hired labor at cost of $16,929. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two rises along the Allegheny and upper Ohio Rivers during which this reservoir in coordination with other reservoirs in upper Ohio River Basin, achieved significant reductions. For storm and flood of March 4-7 crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir varied from 0.35 foot at lock 7, Allegheny River to 0.5 foot on Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. For storm and flood of March 8-11 crest stage reductions by this reservoir varied from 0.65 foot at lock 7, Allegheny River to 0.8 foot at Pittsburgh. For the two floods, reductions on Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., were 0.6 and 0.75 foot, respectively. Maximum pool elevation 1161.32 on March 11, 1964, during the combined flood periods, corresponding to 72,590 acre-feet of storage (98 percent full), was the highest elevation since records commenced at dam in 1941. Crest stages on Ohio River at Pittsburgh for these floods were 27.6 and 31.6 feet on the 6th and 11th, respectively (flood stage, 25 feet). During remainder of year, in conjunction with other reser- voirs, during three moderate rises the reservoir prevented over- topping of Monongahela parking wharf in Pittsburgh for a total °5 of days. Monetary flood control benefits for year were estimated at $14,201,000. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964 are $44,852,200. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and opera- tion and maintenance of public-use facilities continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is com- plete. Reservoir is in operation as a unit of coordinated reservoir system designed for protection of Pittsburgh and reduction of flood heights in upper Ohio Valley, generally. Construction of dam was started in February 1939 and completed in June 1941. Land acquired for project consists of 2,533.49 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 76.89 acres.

FLOOD CONTROL---PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 1011 23. MOSQUITO CREEK RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, OHIO Location. Dam is on Mosquito Creek, 9 miles above junction of creek with Mahoning River at Niles, Ohio, and about 18 miles northwest of Youngstown, Ohio. (See U.S. Geological Survey charts for Bristolville and Kinsman, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.) Existing project. Provides for construction of a reservoir for flood control, low water regulation and water supply storage. Dam is rolled-earthfill type with outlet facilities through dam, and an uncontrolled natural wasteway to discharge overflow from reservoir. Project was selected for construction under general authorization for Ohio River Basin in Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. For further project description see Annual Report for 1962, page 1228. Cost of completed project is $4,035,400. Local cooperation. None required by law. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated as required, and necessary repairs were made to structures and appurtenances. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two significant rises along Mahoning, Beaver, and upper Ohio Rivers during which this reservoir in coordination with other reservoirs in upper Ohio River Basin, achieved significant reductions. Crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir along Mahoning River at Youngstown, Ohio, for storms and floods of 4-7 and 8-11 were 1.2 and 1.1 feet, respectively. On Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., for both floods reductions were 0.1 foot. Crest stages at Youngstown for these floods were 12.4 and 12.75, respectively (flood stage, 10 feet). Operation of reservoir during two high water periods in April 1964 resulted in achieving flood control benefits along Mahoning River valley below Mosquito Creek. Monetary flood control benefits for year were estimated at $2,264,400. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964 are $13,305,600. Regulated low flows at Youngstown during July 1-October 31 averaged 327 cubic feet per second and represented a ratio of 3.2 of regulated flow to natural flow. Thus, this reservoir in conjunction with Berlin Reservoir achieved significant benefits from low-flow augmentation along highly industrialized Mahon- ing River below Niles, Ohio. This is 10th complete year that city of Warren, Ohio, diverted their water supply from Mosquito Creek Reservoir. Water with- drawal was 3.252 billion gallons or 9,984 acre-feet. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and opera- tion and maintenance of certain public-use facilities continued. This work was limited as State of Ohio has jurisdiction over recreation in reservoir area. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is com- plete and in operation for flood control and low-water regulation purposes in industrialized Mahoning and Beaver Valleys, below. Construction of dam was started in July 1943 and was ready for beneficial use January 1944. Land acquired for project consists 1012 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 of 11,213.98 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 275.21 acres.

YOUGHIOGHENY RIVER RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, PA. AND MD. Location. Dam is on Youghiogheny River about 74.2 miles above its junction with Monongahela River at McKeesport, Pa. It is 1.2 miles upstream from Confluence, Pa., and about 57 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Pa. Reservoir is in Fayette and Somer- set Counties, Pa., and Garrett County, Md. (See U.S. Geological Survey charts for Confluence, Pa., Accident, Md., West Virginia and Pennsylvania.) Existing project. Provides for construction of a reservoir for flood control, navigation aid, and pollution abatement purposes. Dam is rolled-earthfill type with separate uncontrolled side chan- nel spillway and tunnel outlet works. Project was selected for construction under general authorization for Ohio River Basin in Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. For further project des- cription see Annual Report for 1962, page 1223. Federal cost of completed project is $9,727,872. Local cooperation. None required by law. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated as required, and necessary repairs were made to structures and appurtenances throughout the year. Heavy rainfalls during March 1964 accompanied by snowmelt caused two rises along Youghiogheny, Monongahela, and upper Ohio Rivers during which this reservoir, in coordination with other reservoirs in upper Ohio Basin, achieved significant reduc- tions. For storm and flood of March 4-7 crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir varied from 2.2 feet on Youghiogheny River at Connellsville, Pa., to 0.75 foot on Ohio River at Pitts- burgh, Pa. For storm and flood of March 8-11 crest stage reduc- tions by reservoir varied from 1.2 feet at Connellsville to 0.3 foot at Pittsburgh. For the two floods, reductions on the Ohio River at Wheeling, W. Va., were 0.95 and 0.35 foot, respectively. Maxi- mum storage during combined flood periods was 162,620 acre-feet (39 percent full). Crest stages on Ohio River at Pittsburgh for these floods were 27.6 and 31.6 feet on the 6th and 11th, res- pectively (flood stage, 25 feet). During remainder of year, in conjunction with other reservoirs, during three moderate rises the reservoir prevented overtopping of Monongahela parking wharf in Pittsburgh for a total of 5 days. 1022 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Estimated flood control benefits achieved by this reservoir for year were $4,341,800. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1964, are $40,154,200. Regulated low flows at Connellsville, Pa., during July 5-Novem- ber 6, 1963, averaged 844 cubic feet per second, and represented a ratio of 2.6 of regulated flow to natural flow. Thus, this reservoir achieved significant benefits from low-water augmentation. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and opera- tion and maintenance of public-use facilities continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is com- plete. Reservoir is in operation for flood control, navigation, and pollution abatement purposes. For flood control, reservoir is op- erated as a unit of coordinated reservoir system designed for protection of Pittsburgh and reduction of flood heights in upper Ohio Valley, generally. Construction of dam was started June 1940 and completed May 1944. Land acquired for project con- sists of 4,033.19 acres in fee simple and flowage easement over 0.48 acre. A license has been issued Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania covering fish conservation and management in Pennsyl- vania portion of reservoir.

Preparation of master plans and engineering for recreational facilities at Sandy, Leech, and Pine was accomplished by hired labor for new work at a cost of $10,646. Dredging a small-boat channel at Leech was completed at a cost by contract of $7,790 for new work. Engineering for rehabilitation of apron at Winnibigoshish was accomplished by hired labor at a cost of $24,365. A contract was awarded and minor work done at a cost by contract of $2,891. Reservoirs were operated as required and miscellaneous inspections, repairs and reports were made by hired labor at a cost of $137,868. At start of fiscal year all of the headwaters reservoirs were at the desirable summer operating stages, except Leech Lake which was slightly below, and remained so during the balance of the summer. During August, Winnibigoshish was drawn down to a stage of 9.4 feet, 0.6 foot below summer range to facilitate a repair job on the dam. Discharges averaging less than 1,000 cubic feet per second were released from the reservoirs during the summer months. Winter releases averaging about 1,200 cubic feet per second reduced the reservoir levels to normal spring stages by the latter part of March. Runoff from snowmelt was comparatively light but rainfall during April and May raised all reservoirs to approximately normal summer levels by the middle of May. Excessive rainfall in the Pokegama Reservoir area dur- ing April, May, and June caused additional runoff with some inconvenience to farmers below Grand Rapids, Minn., particu- larly during the first part of May and again during the latter part of June. The maximum discharge from Pokegama, about 2,700 cubic feet per second, occurred on May 7, 1964, and was equivalent to the peak inflow. The minimum discharge during the year was 420 cubic feet per second on September 24, 1963. At the end of fiscal year all six reservoirs were at desirable summer levels. Costs by hired labor were $172,879; by contract, $10,681. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- 1048 REPORT OF THISOCEIEFOF ENGINEERS, U. S. 'ARMY, 1964 pleted in 1937.

Project provides for earth and rock-fill dam with maximum height of 122 feet, top width of 20 feet, and top length of about 1,600 feet; an uncontrolled outlet consisting of a horseshoe conduit 9 feet 9 inches high, and about 590 feet long with a morning glory intake, and a spillway begin- ning about 650 feet west from the right abutment of the dam emerging above Mines Creek. The uncontrolled spillway consists of an unlined chute about 1,930 feet long with a 100-foot-long weir with crest elevation of 1,020 feet, 18.5 feet below top of dam. Dam would create a permanent conservation pool at eleva- tion 940, having a 1,550 acre-foot capacity, flooding an area of about 150 acres. Between conservation pool level and elevation 997.5, 24,650 acre-feet would be available for flood control storage so that the standard project flood with a peak flow of about twice as great as that of the maximum flood of record (1942), would be stored. Between elevation 997.5 and the crest of the high-level spillway at elevation 1020.0, 17,800 acre-feet of added space per- mits partial storage of the maximum probable flood (peak inflow of 153,700 c.f.s.). Thus, the reservoir has a total flood control storage capacity of 42,450 acrdfeet below the spillway crest. For the maximum probable flood (peak outflow of 13,700 cubic feet per second) an additional surcharge storage capacity of 12,900 acre-feet would be available. At spillway crest elevation of 1020.0, the reservoir would extend upstream about 4 river miles. Proposed Eau Galle River channel about 2,060 feet long would have ageneral bottom width of 70 feet. Remedial work proposed on Mines Creek consists of construction of about 1,560 feet of levee, on right bank in upper part of project, and channel straightening and enlargement to a 40-foot-bottom width from ALTERATION OF BRIDGES---ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1053 mouth to a point 1,292 feet upstream, and a 15-foot-bottom width for 748 feet and then tapered to the existing channel all at the upstream end of the improvement. Proposed improvements on Burghardt Creek have been eliminated. Improvements would provide complete protection in vicinity of Spring' Valley for standard project flood, and below that point in decreasing value in proportion to distance from reservoir. Permanent conserva- tion pool will serve a local need for a recreational area. Estimated Federal cost (1964) for new work is $6,940,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958 (S. Doc. 52, 84th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way required for construction; hold the United States free from damages; make all highway, bridge, and utility altera- tions; maintain all channel improvement works; establish and enforce flood-channel limits for protection against further en- croachments of flood channels of Eau Galle River and Mines and Burghardt Creeks within extent of proposed projects, prevent dumping of waste material or creation of fills within said flood- channel limits; and regulate construction of bridges or other structures crossing improved waterways. Assurances for Mines Creek portion of project were accepted September 13, 1963. Lands for this portion have been furnished. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Plans and specifications for work at Mines Creek and detailed plans for the dam, spillway, and Eau Galle River channel were completed by hired labor at a cost for the year of $209,166. A contract for work on Mines Creek was awarded and brought to 32 percent completion at a cost of $79,088. Clearing is completed, channel excavation and levee were in progress. A contract for trackwork was negotiated, but the railroad is now requesting abandonment of its line. Condition at end of fiscal year. A contract for work at Mines Creek was started in January 1964 and is 32 percent complete. Detailed plans for the major portion of the project have been completed. The project as a whole is 12 percent complete. Cost and financial statement Total to year................ Fiscal 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 June 30, 1964 New work: Appropriated..........

Dam is on South Branch of Park River, about 4 miles upstream from Park River, N. Dak., and 62.1 miles above mouth of Park River. South, Middle, and North Branches, head- water streams of Park River, rise in Cavalier County in north- eastern North Dakota and flow in an easterly direction to an almost common confluence near Grafton, N. Dak., forming main stream which flows easterly 35 miles to join Red River of the 1054 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 North about 35 miles south of international boundary. (For gen- eral location, see U.S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project. See page 1285 of Annual Report for 1962. Project was authorized as Park River Reservoir by Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (S.Doc. 194, 78th Cong., 2d sess.), and was redesignated Homme Reservoir and Dam by Public Law 435, 80th Congress, 2d session, of March 5, 1948. Latest published map is in project document. Estimated Federal cost (1964) for new work is $1,349,300. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Estimated total costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of project authorization, including required non-Federal contribu- tions, are $62,800. In addition, local interests contributed $16,220 for construction of a water-supply outlet through dam and incurred other costs of $19,600. Operations and results during fiscal year. A minor amount of recreational planning was done by hired labor at a cost of $148 for new work. Structure was operated and minor repairs accom- plished by hired labor at a cost of $13,090 for maintenance. At start of fiscal year, Homme Reservoir was at elevation 1080.1, 0.1 foot above normal pool. With discharges of not less than 3 cubic feet per second to serve downstream needs, the pool lowered to 1079.2 on October 7, 1963, when city of Grafton, N. Dak., requested water to fill its two reservoirs. Discharge from Homme Dam was increased to 20 cubic feet per second for 8 days, which reduced reservoir level to 1078.1. Discharge was then reduced to 1 cubic foot per second, and the reservoir level was maintained at 1078.1 until December 6, when a gradual increase in inflow raised the level to 1078.4. On December 24, city of Park River, N. Dak., requested water to fill its local reservoir which was accomplished with a discharge from Homme Dam of 20 cubic feet per second for 1 day. On January 6, 1964, the city of Grafton again requested water to fill its two reservoirs. Although Homme Dam was opened to a flow of about 17 cubic feet per second, snow in the downstream channel delayed arrival of the water at Grafton until January 24, at which time the pool level at Homme was 1174.7 and the discharge was reduced to 1 cubic foot per second. The level of the reservoir continued to drop to 1174.1 by March 12 when the spring breakup started. Breakup was gradual, causing only a minor rise in reservoir until rainfall raised the level to 1080.3 on April 22. The level receded to 1079.8 on June 5 followed by rises to 1082.8 on June 19 with a maximum rate of discharge of 2,400 cubic feet per second. Reser- voir was at elevation 1080.1 with a discharge of 100 cubic feet per second at the end of the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project completed in June 1956 except for additional recreational facilities which have been done intermittently since that time. Construction initiated in April 1948 and major structures completed in May 1951. Struc- tures are in good condition. Government owns 395.2 acres of land in fee and has easements over 7.8 acres of land for project. FLOOD CONTROL--ST.

LAC QUI PARLE RESERVOIR, MINNESOTA RIVER, MINN. Location. Works covered by this project lie along Marsh and Lac qui Parle Lakes and Minnesota River between head of Marsh 1056 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Lake and Granite Falls, Minn. (For general location, see U.S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 1291 of Annual Report for 1962. Estimated cost (1964) to the United States for completion of project is $938,600, including about $379,950 for lands and dam- ages. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Project was oper- ated and minor repairs made to structures by hired labor for $29,121. A small amount of planning for recreational facilities was accomplished by hired labor at a cost of $166, new work. At start of fiscal year Lac qui Parle Reservoir was at elevation 931.6, 0.4 foot above conservation level. Due to heavy rains the reservoir level fluctuated between 932.5 and 931.5 in the period from mid-July to the latter part of November. The latter eleva- tion was maintained until just prior to the spring breakup. A further reduction to 930.6 was accomplished by March 25, 1964. Breakup starting about April 1, raised the reservoir level to 932.3 by the middle of April. Conservation level 931.2 in the reservoir was reached by April 25. Reservoir level was maintained between 931.2 and 932.3 during May and June. At end of fiscal year the reservoir was 0.7 foot above conservation level and fall- ing. Discharges from the reservoir varied during the year between a low of 55 cubic feet per second and a high of 1,500 cubic feet per second, the bankfull capacity downstream. No flooding was reported. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was transferred from State of Minnesota to United States in September 1950. Pre- viously operated by the State of Minnesota, project has been operated by the Government since that time. The United States owns fee title to 518.9 acres of land and easements on 19,859.5 acres of land. In 1957, 60.1 acres were withdrawn from public lands for use of Department of the Army. Land acquisition is complete. Construction under present plan of improvement was started in September 1941 and completed in December 1951. All structures are in good condition.

LAKE ASHTABULA AND BALDHILL DAM, SHEYENNE RIVER, N. DAK. Location. Baldhill Dam is on Sheyenne River, 16 miles up- stream from Valley City, N. Dak., and about 271 miles above mouth. Sheyenne River rises in central North Dakota and flows 500 miles generally southeast to enter Red River of the North FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1057 about 10 miles north of Fargo, N. Dak. (For general location see U.S. Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project. See page 1287 of Annual Report for 1962. Estimated Federal cost (1964) of new work is $2,777,900. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (S. Doc. 193, 78th Cong., 2d sess.), which contains latest published map. Reservoir above Baldhill Dam was designated as Lake Ashtabula by Public Law 772, 81st Congress, 2d session, of September 8, 1950. Local cooperation. See page 1288 of Annual Report for 1962. Provisions of local cooperation complied with except for construc- tion of Fargo diversion dam and ditch for which assurances fur- nished by city of Fargo were approved by Secretary of War on June 26, 1947. Plans for this feature have been prepared. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and minor construction for recreational facilities was accomplished at a cost of $5,250 by hired labor. Work on a picnic shelter and wells was completed by contract at a cost of $6,995. A contract has been awarded for an access road and parking area, but no work has been done. Project was operated and minor repairs were made to structures for maintenance by hired labor at a cost for the year of $43,154. Pool elevation at Baldhill Dam at start of fiscal year was 1265.0, 1.0 foot below conservation level. Discharge averaging about 10 cubic feet per second plus evaporation reduced reservoir level to 1263.6 by November 11, 1963. The outflow was increased to about 40 cubic feet per second until December 13 and then reduced to about 32 cubic feet per second until the end of December after a request from Lisbon, N. Dak., for water to fill their local reser- voir. The outflow was then maintained at about 22 cubic feet per second until pool was lowered to 1262.3, when the discharge was further reduced to 9 cubic feet per second about February 19, 1964. Snowmelt and spring rains beginning the latter part of March caused reservoir level to rise to 1264.9 by end of April. Discharge was maintained at about 7 cubic feet per second until June 20 to facilitate reconstruction of a dam in Valley City, N. Dak. Beginning about June 12, heavy rain fell in the upper reaches of the basin and reservoir level reached full pool, 1266.0, on June 19. Due to the construction work at the Valley City Dam, the discharge was increased gradually to 700 cubic feet per second with the reservoir level cresting at 1266.7 on June 23, dropping to 1266.4 at end of fiscal year. There was no flooding at downstream points due to this operation and the contractor was able to continue construction on dam. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project completed in March 1956 except construction of recreational facilities, which is being accomplished intermittently. The United States owns 7,816.5 acres of land in fee and easements on 666.2 acres. Construction initiated in July 1947 and major features completed in November 1950. Dam was placed in permanent operation in spring of 1951. Structures are in good condition. 1058 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Works covered by this project lie along Lake Tra- verse and Bois de Sioux River between upper end of Lake Tra- verse at Browns Valley, Minn., and mouth of Bois de Sioux River at Breckenridge, Minn. Lake drains through river to Red River of the North, and the two waters form a portion of boundary between State of Minnesota and States of North and South Dakota. (For general location, see U.S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 1289 of Annual Report for 1962. Estimated (1964) cost of project is $1,339,800. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. A small amount of planning for recreational facilities was accomplished by hired labor, new work at a cost of $127. Project was operated and minor repairs made by hired labor at a cost for maintenance of $24,352. Lake Traverse Reservoir is divided into parts known as Lake Traverse and Mud Lake. At start of fiscal year both portions of the reservoir were slightly above their conservation levels of 976.0 for Lake Traverse and 972.0 for Mud Lake. These levels remained through the middle of August 1963 with moderate rainfall off- setting evaporation losses. Thereafter evaporation losses caused Lake Traverse to drop slightly below conservation level during September and Mud Lake after the middle of August. Reservoir elevations at freeze-up were 975.7 in Lake Traverse and 971.5 in Mud Lake. These elevations were maintained until about March 1, 1964, when both parts rose to elevation 975.9 in Lake Traverse and 971.7 in Mud Lake by April 1. Above-normal rainfall caused both parts of the reservoir to continue to raise. Lake Traverse was maintained between 976.0 and 976.3 which caused Mud Lake to increase to 973.8 by end of April and then drop slowly during May and June. Both portions of the reservoir were at conserva- tion levels at end of fiscal year. Discharges from White Rock Dam varied between 1 and 430 cubic feet per second during the year with no flooding reported. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in June 1948, except for minor recreation facilities. Fee title to 1,144.13 acres and easements on 6,155.35 acres of land have been acquired.

Works covered by this project lie along upper reach of Red Lake River and also along Clearwater River, a tributary of Red Lake River, between a point near Plummer, Minn., and a point just above mouth of Ruffy Brook. Red Lake River, principal tributary of Red River of the North, has its source at outlet of Lower Red Lake in northwestern portion of Minnesota and flows in a westerly direction about 196 miles to its junction with Red River of the North at East Grand Forks, Minn. The Clearwater River has a general westerly course from its source near Ebro, Minn., about 205 miles to its junction with Red Lake River at Red Lake Falls, Minn. (For general location, see U.S. Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 1282 of Annual Report for 1962. Estimated Federal cost (1964) for new work is $2,913,800 com- posed of $2,902,800 for construction by the Corps of Engineers and $11,000 for bridge approaches by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (H. Doc. 345, 78th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Studies of bridge damage and of water levels in marshes, both on Red Lake River, were accomplished by hired labor at a cost of $3,984 for new work. A study of the effect of the project on fish and wildlife values was conducted by hired labor at a cost of $2,815 for maintenance. Structures were operated and maintained and miscellaneous inspections and reports were made by hired labor at a cost for the year of $10,327 for maintenance. At start of fiscal year the reservoir level was at elevation 1175.0, about 1.0 foot above normal. Discharges were maintained between 500 and 1,050 cubic feet per second, less than down- stream channel capacity, until the end of October 1963 when the level reached 1173.7. Thereafter, the discharge was set at about 500 cubic feet per second and a further decline to elevation 1173.4 by the end of February 1964 was recorded. The discharge was cut successively to 250, 150, and about 20 cubic feet per second and then opened to about 50 cubic feet per second before the end of fiscal year. Beginning about March 1, snowmelt and spring rains caused the reservoir to rise slowly, reaching elevation 1173.9 by end of April. With normal rainfall during May and June the rise continued until the level was slightly above 1174.5 at end of fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of major im- provements on Red lake River initiated in February and the Clearwater River initiated in October 1948 were completed in June 1956. Replacement of rock-and-brush dam on Red Lake River at Indian boundary with a concrete structure and appur- tenant work was completed in June 1959 to restore marshes in area to better wildlife conditions. Operation of Red Lake Dam FLOOD CONTROL--ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1061 was assumed by the Corps of Engineers on April 1, 1951. Chan- nels are in good condition and indicate effectiveness of project as a flood control measure.

Project was operated as required and necessary repairs made by hired labor at a cost of $25,562 for maintenance. At beginning of fiscal year, Orwell Reservoir was at elevation 1054.6. Drawdown of the reservoir to 1048.0 was accomplished by July 19, 1963, the maximum discharge being 585 cubic feet per second. Reservoir was then allowed to fill slowly, reaching full pool by September 16. Discharge during this period averaged less than 200 cubic feet per second with a minimum of 80 cubic feet per second. The discharge was then increased to about 250 cubic feet per second for water requirements of sugar processing industry at Moorhead, Minn. Reservoir level remained slightly above 1070 through October. After November 1, reservoir level began a slow recession, reaching 1054.7 by February 20, 1964, when sugar processing was completed. The outflow was regulated between 150 and 250 cubic feet per second during entire period. Minimum discharge during the year occurred latter part of Feb- ruary and first part of March, when flow dropped to 55 cubic feet per second. After a relatively light spring runoff the reservoir level rose to 1062.0 by March 20. Spring rains began the latter part of March, and reservoir level was lowered to 1060.0 by the end of March when it was held between 1061.0 and 1062.0 until about May 10, when drawdown to elevation 1048 was initiated as a result of substantial rainfall. Reservoir level was at 1048.0 by end of the fiscal year. The maximum discharge during the year occurred during the period May 11-18 at 870 cubic feet per FLOOD CONTROL--ST.

Canal connects Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, pro- ceeding from a point on Illinois River about 12 miles downstream from LaSalle, across the State of Illinois to Mississippi River at mouth of Rock River. Existing project. Main canal is 75 miles long with 32 locks. A feeder canal, 29.3 miles long, extends from Rock Falls on Rock River to summit level of canal, about 28 miles from its eastern terminus. At Rock Falls, there are a lock and controlling works at the head of the feeder and a lock in Rock River con- necting pool of the Government dam with pool of power com- pany's dam below. See pages 1306-1308 of Annual Report for 1962 for authorizing Congressional legislation and tabulation of pertinent canal features. Canal is obsolete for present-day commercial navigation and has not been operated for that purpose since June 30, 1951. In 1955, the State of Illinois expressed willingness to accept canal properties from the United States for development as part of the State park system, providing certain modifications were first made to project by the United States. River and Harbor Act of 1958 authorized Secretary of the Army to convey project to State. Same act also authorized Secretary of the Army to ac- complish prerequisites to transfer stipulated by the State, includ- ing acquisition on behalf of the United States of fee simple title to certain lands over which the United States holds only flowage rights or easements, and repair and modification of canal to place it in proper condition for public recreation. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. None. Operations and results during fiscal year. Minimum main- tenance to prevent further deterioration of canal structures was performed at a cost of $88,698. Work under the repair and modi- fication program continued at a cost of $368,095. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in 1918. Repair and modification program to be accom- plished prior to disposal of canal was initiated in fiscal year 1961, and a number of canal features were repaired or modified under that program.

S. ARMY, 1964 For more detailed description see page 1246 of Annual Report for 1963. Project depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec. (International Great Lakes Datum-1955.) Fluctuations in stage of river are practically those resulting from changes of water level in Lake Michigan. On Lake Michi- gan, seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot, due to wind and differ- ence in barometric pressures, occur daily. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. Estimated cost for new work (1964) is $27,317,000, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed modifi- cations and acts of 1960 and 1962. For act of August 30, 1935, requirement for dredging in front of U.S. Steel Corp. remains. Terminalfacilities. There are 41 docks handling foreign over- sea, lake vessels, and river barge cargoes. Most important cargoes handled are iron ore, grain, coal, limestone, sand, gravel, iron and steel products, and miscellaneous package freight. There are two boatyards, one for repairs to large lake vessels (this yard has two large drydocks), and the other boatyard has one floating drydock for repairing and building commercial river craft. Government owns one dock which is used by Corps of Engineers only. There are no other publicly owned docks on Calumet River, except the one reserved for exclusive use of city of Chicago fireboat. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: 1935 modification: Dredging under contract for sections 11 and 12 adjacent to Material Service Corp. property was initiated and completed in August 1963 at a cost of $23,114. Engineering, design, supervision, and administration cost $4,553. Total costs were $27,667. 1960 modification: Dredging under contract in approach chan- nel and pilot channel in outer harbor continued. Approximately 46 percent of the job was accomplished at a cost of $1,637,618. Dredging under contract in outer harbor and river entrance continued. Approximately 32 percent of the job was accomplished at a cost of $1,460,000. Engineering, design, supervision, and administration cost $210,151. Total costs were $3,307,769. 1962 modification: Advance planning by hired labor continued at a cost of $130,242. Maintenance: Condition surveys and flue dust investigations were made by hired labor at a cost of $19,892. Maintenance dredging irk, Calumet Harbor, and between 122d Street and turn- ing basin ,5 in Calumet River was done by contracts at a cost of $264,508. For a resume of litigation to fix responsibility for illegal de- position in navigable waters of a portion of Calumet River (United States of America, plaintif v. Republic Steel Corp. Inter- national Harvester Co. and Interlake Iron Corp. defendants) see RIVERS AND HARBORS - --CHICAGO, ILL.; DISTRICT 1113 Annual Report for 1962. Negotiations for an out-of-court settle- ment of this litigation with the three defendant companies were successfully concluded in the early portion of fiscal year 1964. Settlement agreement was signed July 2, 1963; the order approv- ing settlement was signed by U.S. district court judge the same date. Decree (No. 54 C 1608) August 2, 1963. A certified check for $620,000 in payment of settlement was received by the United States. The defendants, in turn, received a release dated July 25, 1963, signed by the Secretary of the Army. Each defendant was issued a permit setting forth conditions pertaining to future dis- charges and deposits. Pursuant thereto the three companies in January 1964 paid the aggregate sum of $25,000 for calendar year 1963. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing~roject is about 36 percent complete. Work remaimning coiinsists of deepening outerlarLTor; deepening and completing widening and straight- ening the Calumet River; and closing the gap between break- waters. Timber crib breakwater (6,712 feet, completed in 1904; concrete superstructure completed in 1924) is in fair condition. Cellular type steel-sheet pile breakwater (5,007 feet, completed in 1935) is in fair condition. Under permit from the Secretary of War, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and its predecessors removed all of the south pier (completed in 1897) and replaced it with a concrete dock wall 2,961 feet long and 50 feet southerly of pier's original location. Under permits from the department, Defense Plant Corp. built two sections of bulkhead on east side of river between a point opposite Semet-Solvay slip and south side of former turning basin 3 at about 117th Street. United States widened and deepened channel adjoining new bulkhead except through the rock section, where widening was done by the corporation. Depths at low water datum in the outer harbor vary from 23 to 29 feet. Controlling depth in the entrance chan nel is 27 feet. Controlling depth in the river is 21 feet to and including turning basin 5. Head of navigation for deep draft vessels in the river is at turning basin 5 on north side of 130th Street. Total costs for existing project, all funds, to June 30, 1964, were $17,934,263, of which $14,897,660 were regular funds and $3,036,603 public works funds; $11,694,297 being for new work, $5,550,965 for maintenance, and $689,001 for rehabilitation.

Estimated costs (1964) are $592,000, Federal and $105,000 non-Federal, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed work. For July 14, 1960 Act, local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way for construction and subsequent maintenance, when and as required; hold the United States free from damages; and provide and maintain depths in berthing areas adjacent to stone and coal docks commensurate with depths in Federal pro- ject area. Tentative assurances were received October 1962. Terminal facilities., In addition to a car-ferry slip, there are 14 wharves for handling coal, building materials, and miscella- neous commodities. City of Marinette provided a public wharf. Facilities are considered fairly adequate for existing commerce, except that there is need for a public wharf owned by city of Menominee, with warehouse and railway connection. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Plan- ning by hired labor on 1960 modification cost $44. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation of north and south piers per- formed by contract at a cost of $440,802. Government costs were $135,549. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project as a whole is about 30 percent complete. Project in effect prior to modification of March 2, 1945, was completed in 1938. No additional work was necessary under modification of March 2, 1945, to provide a depth of 12 feet in extension of channel to vicinity of Marinette Yacht Club as project depth or more was available. Entrance piers were completed in 1884, and are in generally fair condition except for portions of south pier which require repairs. Dredg- ing channel below Marinette municipal wharf, together with en- larging turning basin to existing project depth, was commenced in May and completed in November 1938. North pier is main- tained for a length of about 1,224 feet. Only planning has been done on 1960 River and Harbor Act modification. Controlling depths at low-water datum at end of fiscal year were 22 feet in entrance channel to 21 feet or more between small shoals with depth of about 19.6 feet to Marinette municipal wharf; and 21 feet in turning basin; thence 12 feet to a point 300 feet east of upper limit of project; thence 9.2 feet to project limit.

There are two small boatyards, which repair and construct recreational craft only. One public dock is owned by city and has not been used for commercial purposes. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Con- dition surveys were performed by hired labor at a cost of $3,083. Repair of portions of the breakwater by placing 958 tons of stone in October 1963 by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $16,771. U.S. dipper dredge Winneconne, hopper dredge Hoff- man and hydraulic dredge DePoe Bay operations in September and October 1963 and May and June 1964 removed 91,552 cubic yards of material at a cost of $80,831. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in December 1936. Concrete superstructure, 1,304 feet, on detached breakwater, completed in 1925, is in fair condition, and entrance piers completed in 1931 are in good condition. Un- der permit from Secretary of War, the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. removed 615 feet of inner end of west pier and about 719 feet of bulkhead south of pier, and replaced them with a steel sheet pile bulkhead located landward of former dock line. Area channelward of new bulkhead was dredged by permittee to 18 feet. Controlling depth at low-water datum for practicable widths was 18 feet in entrance channel and between piers to Franklin Street Bridge. Between Franklin Street Bridge and turning basin at head of project, depths vary from 17 feet to about 6 feet in a channel about 60 feet wide, except in the draws of Michigan Central Railroad Co.'s bridge where width is about 40 feet. Turning basin at head of project has shoaled above datum. Available anchorage depths in the basin are 12 feet in northerly portion and 8 feet in southerly portion. Depths are referred to low-water datum . Head of navigation for deep-draft commercial vessels and barges is at Franklin Street Bridge, and for shallow draft com- mercial fishing launches is the turning basin at head of project, 1.04 miles above outer end of west pier. Above this point, depths are sufficient only for small shallow draft launches. Total costs of existing project were $3,167,206, of which $1,212,385 was for new work and $1,954,821 for maintenance.

S. ARMY, 1964 Local cooperation. Fully complied with for acts of March 2, 1945, and July 14, 1960, except inactive portion of 1945 act. Act of August 30, 1935, provided that original dredging of outer harbor area be done by city of Milwaukee and city of Milwaukee be reimbursed at actual cost but not to exceed 10 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, for original dredging done subsequent to authorization of work by Congress. Agreement covering dredging was executed by Secretary of War, February 23, 1934, after this work was originally authorized as part of public works program. City was reimbursed for 6 percent of dredging. Act of October 23, 1962, required local interests hold the United States free from damages; provide and maintain adequate deep- draft berthing areas at docks adjacent to areas to be improved, with depths commensurate with those to be provided in project areas; and accomplish such reconstruction and relocations as would be required in docks and submarine utility crossings. Terminal facilities. Four car-ferry slips, and 57 other wharves, private and municipal, used for handling coal, grain, building materials, cement, petroleum products, and miscellaneous com- modities. As facilities in inner harbor are considered inadequate for existing commerce, Milwaukee Harbor Commission is build- ing an outer harbor. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: 1962 Modification: Engineering and design by Government hired labor was conducted at a cost of $25,994. Maintenance: Condition surveys were performed by hired labor at a cost of $12,480. Repair of portions of breakwater by place- ment of 9,620 tons of stone protection was accomplished by Government plant and hired labor in July, August, and October 1963 and May 1964 at a cost of $68,737. U.S. dipper dredge Kewaunee operations in May and June 1964 removed 29,866 cubic yards of material at a cost of $51,594. Rehabilitation: Work on reconstruction of 1,840 feet of north breakwater continued, by contract, at a cost of $423,557. Govern- ment costs were $31,852. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 50 percent complete. The 1962 modification remains to be completed. North breakwater, 9,954 feet long, was completed in August 1925. North pier was completed in 1905 and construction of south pier was completed in November 1910. Construction of south break- water and shore connection was commenced in May 1925 and completed in October 1929. Dredging for deepening and widen- ing entrance channel to existing project depth and width was commenced in May 1929 and completed in September 1930. Prior to modification of August 30, 1935, the city of Milwaukee dredged most of the area in the outer harbor south of inner entrance piers and lakeward of pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. City of Milwaukee also dredged a portion of the area in the outer harbor north of the inner entrance piers to provide an approach channel to the pas- senger and auto pier opposite East Clybourn Street. Work on the RIVERS AND HARBORS - -CHICAGO, ILL., DISTRICT 1145 1945 modification was started in June and completed in August 1957, except for the inactive portion. Concrete superstructure and the timber crib sections of the north breakwater and the harbor piers are showing disintegra- tion and require repairs. South breakwater and shore connections are in generally good condition. Controlling depths at low-water datum were 21 feet and more in the entrance channel through the outer basin and between the piers; 21 feet in Milwaukee River to Buffalo Street Bridge, and about 18 feet thence to head of project; 21 feet in Kinnickinnic River to head of project east of the Kinnickinnic Avenue Bridge; and 21 feet in Menomonee River to 500 feet east of the head of the project; 15 to 200 feet east of the head of the project, and thence reducing to 5 feet at the head, and 21 feet in South Menomonee Canal and Burnham Canal to head of the project in these channels. Costs of existing project were $4,732,698 for new work $4,020,707 for maintenance, and $1,050,698 for rehabilitation, a total of $9,804,103.

River drains an area of 1,980 square miles in Hills- dale, Jackson, Calhoun, Eaton, Barry, Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Allegan, Kent, and Ottawa Counties in southwestern Michigan, and discharges into Lake Michigan 2 miles downstream from village of Saugatuck. City of Battle Creek is 108 miles upstream from mouth of Kalamazoo River. (See U.S. Geological Survey Battle Creek quadrangle and U.S. Lake Survey Chart No. 76.) Existing project. Provides for flood protection along Kalama- zoo River at, and in vicinity of, Battle Creek, Mich., to consist generally of excavation and clearing of Battle Creek Channel to provide for an enlarged channel within city of Battle Creek extending from above Union Street Bridge downstream to its Channel in vicinity of Liberty Street and Washington Avenue to bypass constricted existing channel through heart of city; excavation and straightening Kalamazoo River Channel down- stream from confluence of Battle Creek and new rerouted Kalama- zoo River Channel to below Fort Custer Waterworks Bridge; riprapping or paving channels at critical locations in new en- larged channels where velocity of floodflows might be high enough to cause damage; constructing new and reinforcing exist- ing highway and railroad bridges as required, and constructing levees. Project is designed to provide protection for city of Battle Creek from such peak-flood discharges in channels which would FLOOD CONTROL--DETROIT, MICH., DISTRICT 1215 produce, when combined, a discharge of approximately 11,000 cubic feet per second below confluence of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo River. Estimated cost for new work, revised in 1962, is $6,220,000, excluding $154,000 to be contributed by local interests. Esti- mated cost to local interests, revised in 1962, is $3,090,000. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Sept- ember 3, 1954 (S. Doc. 98, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published maps). Local cooperation. Act of September 3, 1954, provides that no money shall be expended on construction by the United States until responsible local interests have given assuarances they will provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for con- struction; hold the United States free from damages; maintain and operate all works after completion, including supervision of maintenance and operation of existing Monroe Street Dam and headrace on Kalamazoo River; prescribe and enforce regulations designed to prevent encroachments on rights-of-way and im- proved channels; construct new highway bridges across new Kalamazoo River cutoff; make all changes and additions to streets, necessitated by improvements; and contribute toward project in accordance with recommendation of Secretary of the Army; and provided further that construction of initial stage of project as defined in District Engineer's report may be undertaken when- ever funds are available and prescribed local cooperation has been provided and whenever local interests have agreed to remove at thir own expense concurrently with construction of first- stage improvement, such buildings from Battle Creek Channel as in opinion of District Engineer may jeopardize effectiveness of that improvement. The first stage of project is defined as entire project exclusive of Battle Creek channel portion upstream from its junction with Kalamazoo River. At time of authorization of improvement the Secretary of the Army recommended in the project document that a cash contribution of $93,000, at report price levels, should be made by non-Federal interests. Assurances of local cooperation were furnished by city of Battle Creek and formally accepted by the United States on December 10, 1956. Local interests made a cash contribution of $125,000 and allowed credit for channel construction and bridge removal work accomplished by them at old confluence of Kalamazoo River and Battle Creek channels. Cash contribution received, credits allowed for work accomplished by local interests and anticipated savings in Federal construction costs due to reduced capacity of a portion of Battle Creek channel from abandonment of headrace, partially offset by increased cost of cutoff channel due to increased capacity, were collectively con- sidered sufficient for expenditure of funds for completion of first stage of project. An additional cash contribution will be required prior to initiating final stage of project. All local cooperation required for first-stage of project has been complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Re- 1216 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Authorized by June 3, 1896, River and Har- bor Act and subsequently modified by numerous acts through July 14, 1960. For description of existing project see page 1529 of Annual Report for 1962. Actual cost for new work for com- 1223 1224 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 pleted portion of project was $9,266,543. Removal of 250 feet of inner breakwater, as authorized by 1937 act, at an estimated cost of $128,000 (July 1954) and deepening triangular-shaped harbor area adjacent thereto, as authorized by 1960 act, at an estimated cost of $427,000 (July 1961), are deferred for restudy. Non-Federal costs of $5,696,000 were incurred for construction of access roads, docks, storage and handling facilities and dock- side dredging. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are 27 piers and wharves, two are owned by city of Ashtabula and U.S. Coast Guard. Twenty-one facilities are along banks of Ashtabula River and six are on south side of outer harbor. Twenty-two terminals have railroad connections and 15 mechanical-handling facilities. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 42, revised 1960, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Final contract payment was made for work previously completed under 1960 act at a cost for year of $263,988 for new work. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $14,314. U.S. hopper dredge Lyman removed 113,776 cubic yards, bin measure, of shoaled material over an area of approximately 60,000 square yards of the outer harbor to project depth of 25 and 27 feet, and over entire length of Ashtabula River channel for restoration of 18- and 16-foot depths at a cost of $55,861. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 94 percent complete. West breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of outer end which was completed in 1935. East break- water was completed in 1915; 800 feet of westerly end was removed and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. Old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was com- pleted in 1909, and westerly 600 feet were removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935. The 18- and 16-foot sections of river channel and turning basin were deepened in 1939. A 25-foot deep approach channel through east outer harbor to easterly docks and a turning basin were completed in 1960. Deepening upper 1,550 feet of river channel to 16 feet was completed in July 1960. Deepening 29-foot entrance channel, 28-foot chan- nel through outer harbor, 27-foot approach channel to New York Central Railroad Co's. slip, 27-foot channel in Ashtabula River to a point 2,000 feet upstream from its mouth, and 22-foot areas in east outer harbor, as authorized by the 1960 act, was initiated in May 1962 and completed in June 1963. Harbor structures require repairs. Portions of both east and west breakwaters, rubblemound construction, where slope stone has pulled away, core stone has washed away, and deck stones have dropped, require major repairs. East breakwater light foundation has tilted due to displacement of rubblemound pro- tection and needs repairs. RIVERS AND HARBORS - --BUFFALO, N.Yi, DISTRICT 1225 Work remaining to complete project consists of removal of 250 feet of inner breakwater, as authorized by 1937 act, and deepening triangular-shaped harbor area adjacent thereto, as authorized by 1960 act, both of which are to be restudied.

Existing project is about 89 percent complete. Channel from Buffalo Harbor north entrance to opposite Sixth Avenue, North Tonawanda, is complete. Dif- ferent sections of this channel were completed to project depth as follows: Lake Erie section in 1909; Black Rock Canal section in 1915; Niagara River section from lock to deep water pool above Tonawanda, in 1913; and Tonawanda section, including turning basin, 1921. Channel was further widened as follows: The triangular area at Lake Erie entrance to canal was com- pleted 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - BUFFALO, N.Y., DISTRICT 1227 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 com- pleted 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 August 30, 1935, which is considered inactive, and deepen- ing 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. Sev- eral 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. East channel face of lock wall was repaired in 1953, and west channel face in 1954. Upper wing wall of lock has shifted laterally approximately 2 feet at maximum point, and concrete superstructure on lower guide pier is badly cracked, indicating a possible failure of the timber crib. Controlling depths at low-water datum are: Black Rock Chan- nel 21 feet, 20 feet in Niagara River section of channel and in Tonawanda turning basin, Tonawanda Inner Harbor 14 feet, and Tonawanda Creek Channel 12 feet.

Estimated Federal cost for new work is $5,695,000 (July 1963) including inactive portion of project. Estimated non-Federal costs of $3,921,000 (July 1963) include expenditures of $101,000 for bulkheads and dockside dredging. Remainder is for lands, relocations, utility changes, dockside dredging and dock and bulkhead modifications all for the inactive 1960 project modification. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, required local interests contribute $304,000 toward cost of ex- tending breakwater 4,000 feet, and dredge approach channel to their proposed terminal at their own expense. River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, waived the condition requiring local interests to contribute to cost of breakwater extension. Proposed terminal has not been built nor required dredging been done. River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960, requires local interests to make all changes in docks, bulkheads and other structures; provide and maintain depths between new channel limits and terminal facilities; accomplish utility alterations; furnish lands and rights-of-way for construction; and hold the United States free from damages. District Engineer requested Board of County Commissioners, Lake County, to furnish assurances of local co- operation by January 1, 1963. Assurances have not been received and authorized work has been classified inactive. All other conditions are fully complied with. Terminal facilities. There are 19 piers and wharves, all along banks of Grand River. One facility is owned by U.S. Coast Guard. Thirteen terminals have railroad connections and seven mechanical-handling facilities. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 42, revised 1960, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Precon- struction planning, by hired labor, for deepening lake approach channel, 800-foot wide channel through outer harbor, channel in Grand River and enlargement of turning basin, all as authorized by 1960 act, was suspended when modification was classified in- active. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection services and condition surveys were accomplished by Government plant and hired labor at a cost of $8,685.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 46 percent complete. Lengths of 400 and 275 linear feet of east pier were repaired with steel sheet piling and sandfilled, in 1949 and 1958, respectively. Other end of structure requires extensive re- pairs. River entrance was improved by construction of an east pier completed in 1904, and removal of old west pier and con- struction of bulkhead, completed in 1939. East breakwater was completed in 1931 and west breakwater in 1935. River channel was deepened to 21 and 24 feet and turning basin to 18 feet in 1939. Outer harbor was deepened to 25 feet and river channel widened at its mouth in 1940. Deepening 8-foot channel in Grand River at upper end of and adjacent to west side of 21-foot pro- ject channel, was completed in 1956. Harbor structures require repairs. Concrete cap of several cells of cellular section of west breakwater requires replacement. At several places along remainder of west breakwater the slope stone has disintegrated and settled. The 6,700-foot long, rubblemound east breakwater, built in 1932, is in various stages of disrepair throughout its entire length. At several locations of the structure, totaling approximately 1,500 linear feet, slope stone has disin- tegrated and settled and core stone washed out, leaving large areas of structure only slightly above low-water datum. Work remaining to complete project consists of completion of preconstruction planning for, and deepening lake approach chan- nel, 800-foot wide channel through outer harbor, channel in Grand River, and enlargement of turning basin, all as authorized by 1960 act which is considered inactive. Controlling depth is 25 feet in outer harbor, 23 feet in river channel for 3,700 feet upstream from outer end of east pier, thence 21 feet in river channel upstream to project limit, 18 feet in turning basin, and 8 feet in project area at upper end of Grand River.

Region in which operations are conducted lies within States of Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. For additional de- tails see Annual Report for 1962. Previous projects. In the 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 existence, and measurement and analysis of other factors pertaining to navigation. A comprehen- sive statement concerning prior projects on the Great Lakes, and formulation of "a general project covering to completion 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 navigational 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 chart- ing and navigational portions of the project, also discussed prior and existing responsibilities 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 the Chief of Engineers and approved January 21, 1935, as basic description of such responsibilities. Existing project. Portion of existing project concerned with charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued consisting essentially of gen- eral charts employing small scales; coastal, river, and sectional charts employing medium scales; harbor and confined locality charts employing large scales; and special charts such as those for recreational use employing scales suitable for purposes intended. Number of charts and individual 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 hydrau- 1267 1268 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 lies 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 Govern- ment 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 aug- mented by additional control for use in connection with later surveys and other Corps of Engineers work. Project includes publications with information for benefit of navigation 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 con- ditions not adapted to adequate or prompt representation on charts. The supplements, issued monthly during the Great Lakes navigation season, provide corrections and additions 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 pro- vides for continued operation of a comprehensive gage network. In the fields of applied hydraulics and hydrology, present project provides for continuing 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 estab- lishment of a Lake Survey Research Division to make scientific investigations of all aspects of fresh-water oceanography relating to development and utilization of water resources of the Great Lakes system, in conjunction with which field surveys and obser- vations are accomplished, data collected and analyzed, and reports published. For additional details of existing project, see Annual Report for 1962. Operations and results during fiscal year. Studies to deter- mine effects of the 27-foot navigation project in the St. Clair- Detroit River system and to determine effectiveness of Detroit River compensating works started in fiscal year 1963, neared completion in fiscal year 1964. Flow meterings were conducted on Detroit River, lower St. Clair River, and St. Clair River at Port Huron during fall of 1963. Meterings were also conducted on Detroit River during summer of 1964. Reduction of data ob- tained from the fall meterings was completed and reports thereon started. Reports on the metering of St. Clair River flow during fiscal year 1963 were completed. Water level data were collected at 49 permanent gaging sta- tions during the entire year. A telenetering system was added to the U.S. Lake Survey gage at Gibraltar, Mich., to transmit water levels to Belle Isle Station U.S. Coast Guard for use in connection with broadcasts of low-water warnings for west end aw ; U.S. LAKE SURVOEY of Lake Erie and lower Detroit River. Construction was com- pleted on new gage installations at Calumet Harbor, Ill., Windmill Point, Mich., and Toledo, Ohio. In addition to operations listed above, many data of a hydraulic and hydrologic nature were collected, reduced, tabulated; and disseminated. Engineering and scientific analyses and studies were made of these data and reports prepared thereon for use by North Central Divsion and its districts and also by navigation, power, riparian and other public and private interests. Consult- ing engineering services were furnished North Central Division and its districts and to various international commissions, boards, and committees concerned with the Great Lakes and their outflow rivers, including the St. Lawrence River. Details of the latter are described later herein. The hydrographic survey of Lake Winnebago and the Lower Fox River, Wis., started in fiscal year 1963, was completed. A similiar survey was made of lower Niagara River downstream from Lewiston-Queenston Bridge and of inshore area along south shore of Lake Ontario from mouth of the river to about 5 miles east of Olcott, N.Y. Another hydrographic survey was made covering the portion of Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron, from mouth of Saginaw River to Point Au Gres. In preparation for the co0i- pilation of a new recreational chart of the Chicago Lakefront and River, Calumet River and connecting waterways, necessary hy- drographic and topographic surveys were begun. Sounding of inshore areas of Lake Huron was continued along the reach north- west of Hammond Bay. Revisory surveys that were started in fiscal year i969 on Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake were completed. Similiar surveys were made along the navigation channel on Namakan and Kabet- ogama Lakes of the border lakes between Minnesota and Ontario. Revisory surveys were also made on Lakes Superior, Huron, St. Clair, and Erie, and along shores of the Detroit River and St. Clair River. Maintenance of vertical control network was ac- complished coincident with the revisory survey program. Twenty-four special water level gages in selected harboirs on Lakes Huron, Superior, Winnebago, and Erie, installed late in fiscal year 1963 were operated during July, August, and Septem- ber 1963 and 17 similiar gages were installed in May 1964 and operated during June in selected harbors on Lakes Erie and On- tario for verifying or establishing vertical control. Horizontal control was established by telluromter traverse along the east shore of Lake Michigan from Gary, Iind. to South Haven, Mich. Another traverse was started along the Grand River in Michigan between Lake Michigan and junction with Bass River. Routine key punching and verification of hourly water-level data was begun, with production and verification of 316 station months of record. Additional key punch work consisted of punch- ing of basic data for computer solution of engineering, scientific, and statistical problems. Computer programs were written for reduction of water level data from new digital water level recorders, and for solution of engineering, scientific, and statis- 1270 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 tical problems. Acquisitions to the technical library materially increased over previous years, with a total of 782 acquisitions. Program for research and investigation of all aspects of "fresh- water" oceanography, coastal engineering, and related scientific fields pertinent to development of improved utilization of water resources of the Great Lakes system, proceeded at an accelerated rate with special emphasis in the five research fields of water motion, shore processes, water characteristics, water quantity, and ice and snow. Studies continued on various projects begun in fiscal year 1963. Included were the study of air-water interface at a tower off Muskegon, Mich., in conjunction with the Univer- sity of Michigan and the U.S. Weather Bureau; the study of overwater precipitation distribution on Lakes Erie and Michigan; investigation of short-period water level disturbances in Lake Michigan; survey of currents in Lake Michigan harbors: Calu- met, Ill., Racine, Wis., Sturgeon Bay, Wis., and Muskegon, Mich., and aerial observations of ice cover in the lakes. A number of new projects were begun in fiscal year 1964. These included study of harbor currents in Fairport, Ohio, and Buffalo, N.Y.; investigation of sediment transport at Little Lake Harbor and Whitefish Point, Mich., study of short-period water level dis- turbances in Lake Erie; and collection of deep-water wave data at five locations in Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Erie for correlation with hull-stress measurements to be made on lake vessels. A contract was negotiated with University of Michigan for study of wave hindcasting in the Great Lakes. South Manitou Island in Lake Michigan was instrumented for recording air conditions over the lake and water temperature, waves, and water level. A T-boat was acquired from the Transportation Corps, and plans for its modification for use as a research vessel were begun. Data collected by charting field sections, supplemented by in- formation from numerous sources, were compiled for production of 51 revised chart editions (including 4 new compilations) 1 new recreational chart volume and 4 chart reprints. Modification in aids to navigation and other critical chart data was made by hand on 220,574 copies of the stock of printed charts to maintain it currently accurate to the date of issue or sale. This under- taking involved 2,606,033 separate operations consisting of dele- tion of changed chart features and addition of new features. Revised editions of 51 charts and 2 bound chart volumes and reprints of 4 charts were processed and printed during the year for a total of 179,018 copies. In addition to charts, 720 hydro- graphs of lake levels, 59,500 copies of water level bulletins, 33,000 chart catalogs, and 25,000 Lake Survey brochures were printed. Chart sales for the year amounted to 108,399 copies. Proceeds of sales amounted to $112,134. An additional 16,408 charts were issued for official use. The 1964 edition of the Great Lakes Pilot was prepared and the publication became available in April 1964. Supplements Nos. 3-7 to the 1963 Pilot were prepared and distributed monthly through November 1963. Supplements Nos. 1 and 2 of the 1964 Pilot were prepared and distributed in a similar manner in May and June 1964. U.S. Lake Survey sold 424 copies of the 1963 Great Lakes Pilot and Supplements during fiscal year U.S. LAKE SURVEY 1271 1964, realizing $1,060. An additional 32 copies of that edition of the publication (with supplements) were issued for official use. Sales of 1964 edition of the Pilot and supplements amounted to 3,202 copies, or $8,005. An additional 561 copies of that edition of the publication with supplements were issued for official use. A total of $1,267 was realized from sale of 987 Waterborne Com- merce statistics publications, parts 1-4 and $147 from sale of 478 copies of part 5 and it's supplements. An additional 695 copies of these publications were issued for official use. In addition to the above publications, monthly and semimonthly lake level bulletins and tabulations of other hydraulic and hydro- logic data of the Great Lakes were sent to individuals, newspapers, vessel interests, industrial interests, Congressmen, and Govern- ment agencies in both the United States and Canada to whom the information is of concern. The monthly bulletin mentioned above was sent regularly to over 4,700 official and private recipients. Tabulations of river discharges, precipitation, diver- sions, stages at specific locations, and other data were also dis- patched regularly to 320 additional receivers, these being primarily official. Total cost for the year was $1,194,078. Reimbursable printing work was $52,094, of which $21,497 was received for reproducing project and other special maps for Corps of Engineer Districts and the remainder was received for Army Map Service ground maps. Cost of reproduction, correction, and distribution of navigation charts; printing and distribution of the Great Lakes Pilot; and preparation, printing, and distribution of the Pilot supplements amounted to $143,775 and was charged against the revolving fund, these costs to be realized through the sale of charts and related publications to the public. Other reimbursable work done by Lake Survey for district offices cost $86,971 during the fiscal year. International Activities In addition to the foregoing work, following activities were conducted during fiscal year in connection with international boards and committees: International Joint Commission. The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended the semiannual appearances of the Great Lakes boards before the International Joint Commission in Ottawa and Washington, D.C. International Lake Superior Board of Control. Periodic re- ports of water levels and recommendations regarding regulation of Lake Superior were furnished the Board. Studies of effect of Lake Superior regulation, under the current plan, on levels of Lake Michigan-Huron were conducted and the findings relayed to the Board. International Niagara Board of Control and International Niagara Committee. The District Engineer and a member of his staff attended meetings of the Board in Ottawa and Washing- ton. Studies of the effect on Lake Erie water levels of a proposed ice-boom at the head of Niagara River were made and reported to the Board. 1272 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 InternationalSt. Lawrence River Board of Control The Dis- trict Engineer and members of his staff attended seven meetings of the Board and Working Committee---one each in Washington, Chicago, and Ottawa, and two each in Montreal and New York. Reuation Representatives. The District Engineer is U.S. regulation representa'tive. Each Thursday he coordinates the regulated outflow of Lake Ontario for the ensuing week with the Canadian regulation representative and informs the Power Au- thority of the State of New York of the quantity. Plan 1958-D, which replaced Plan 1958-C on October 4, 1963, was used for the determination of the outflow. Plan 1958-D was developed as a cooperative project by the Canadian and U.S. regulation repre- sentatives as part of their responsibility to the Board. Develop- ment of a new approach to the regulation of that lake in a plan designated 1963-A is currently being studied as part of this con- tinuing responsibility. For use in this study the total water supply to the lake for the period 1958-63 by quarter months was coordinated with Canada. This data development was an exten- sion of previously coordinated data. Collaboration with Canada in the collection of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River data needed for the regulation was continued. The District Engineer or a member of his staff attended seven meetings of the Board's Operations Advisory Group and was on the project site during critical ice periods in December 1963 and January 1964. During the fiscal year the Regulation Representatives maintained sur- veillance of the critical low-supply situation on Lake Ontario, developed a coordinated method of supply forecasting, and pre- pared monthly reports for the Board's information concerning the effects of certain supply sequences on the levels of Lake Ontario. In addition, regulation representatives studied and developed a method of evaluating criterion (k) of the Interna- tional Joint Commission Supplementary Order of Approval for regulation of Lake Ontario and made recommendations regarding implementation of the provisions of the criterion. A U.S. Lake Survey field party collected data on Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River to enable preparation of a report by U.S. regulation representative to the U.S. section of the Board on damage and potential damages due to low water levels. Another function of the regulation representatives is authorization of operation of Iroquois Dam. The dam was operated on 14 occa- sions during fiscal year. The U.S. regulation representative studied effect of operation of the dam on the levels at Cardinal, Ontario. St. Lawrence Committee on River Gaging. The District Engineer is chairman of the U.S. section. He and members of his staff attended one meeting of the committee in Montreal and one meeting in New York during the year. Inspection of St. Law- rence River water-level gages was made jointly with the Hydro- Electric Power Commission 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, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, of the procedures for determination of flow .S. LAKE SURVEY 1273 through the structures of Lake St. Lawrence. Random checks of the daily flow from Lake St. Lawrence through the several struc- tures were made each month, and the checks were coordinated with the Water Resources Branch. The 18th and 19th progress reports of the committee were prepared and presented to Inter- national 'St. Lawrence River Board of Control and St. Lawrence River Joint Board of Engineers. The committee adopted and placed in use new turbine rating tables for determination of flow through the powerhouse, May 1, 1963. A study was conducted of methods of correcting the flows for period July 1958 through April 30, 1963, to these rating tables. Flows based on the adopted method were issued in March 1964. A "Brief" by Ontario-Hydro on the effect of removal of trashracks from Saunders Generating Station was reviewed and a letter report, with recommendation, prepared and forwarded to the board. Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data and Subcommittees: The Chief Technical Assistant of the Lake Survey serves as a member of the U.S. section of the committee, while members of the Lake Survey Staff serve as members of the subcommittees. The only meeting of committee during the year was held in Detroit. The committee furnished a report entitled, "Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River Gage History" to the agencies to which it is advisory. (a) Lake Levels Subcommittee: Two meetings of the sub- committee were held in Detroit. Subcommittee prepared the re- port entitled "History of Water Level Gages, Lake Ontario and the International Section of the St. Lawrence River." (b) River Flow Subcommittee: One meeting of the subcom- mittee was held in Detroit during the year. A report entitled "Development of Ashland Avenue Gage Rating for Maid-of-the- Mist Pool outflow, Establishment of Stella Niagara Hydraulic Station, and 1957, 1958, 1961, and 1962 Discharge Measurements" was drafted by the U.S. section and sent to the Canadian section for review. Work continued on hydraulic studies of St. Clair River for purpose of determining best values of the flows of record. (c) Physical Data Subcommittees: Work on determination of areas of Lake Michigan drainage basin continued. Great Lakes Study Group. Executive Committee: The Deputy District Engineer and a member of the Lake Survey Staff attended a meeting of the group in Chicago. At this meeting the organ- ization's name was changed from "Lake Erie Study Group" in order to recognize the expanded areas of interest. The Acting District Engineer and a member of the Lake Survey Staff who is cochairman of the Data Processing Branch attended a second meeting in Toronto. (a) Data Processing Branch: Lake Survey Staff members at- tended a meeting in Detroit and the staff member who is cochair- man of the Data Processing Branch attended a meeting with the Canadian cochairman in Toronto. (b) Physical Branch: The Deputy District Engineer and staff members attended a meeting in Detroit. 1274 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 The Great Lakes Regional Data Center was activated. Purpose of the center is to provide data repository services to the Great Lakes Study Group and to other organizations conducting re- search activities on the Great Lakes. The printing of "Notices of Research Projects" and the dissemination of the notices to mem- bers of the Great Lakes Study Group was initiated. The notices are to keep Study Group members informed of new projects and changes in current research projects by other members. Condition at end of fiscal year. All new work under various projects is complete. New work under existing project cost $2,- 755,914, and maintenance thereunder to June 30, 1964, cost $13,- 478,037, a total of $16,233,951. At end of fiscal year, Lake Survey publications available for issue to official users and for sale to general public consisted of 141 charts of the Great Lakes and connecting watres, including 5 charts of Lake Champlain, 3 charts and 1 chart volume of 58 charts of New York State Barge Canal System, 18 charts of Minnesota-Ontario Border Lakes, and 3 recreational craft chart volumes (Detroit River-Lake St. Clair-St. Clair River: 47 charts; West End of Lake Erie: 26 charts; and Inland Route, Mich.: 17 charts), and the 1964 Great Lakes Pilot and supple- ments. In addition, a hydrograph of mean monthly lake levels is published for free distribution, as well as a monthly bulletin of lake levels showing current elevations, comparisons with past levels and forecasts of future levels, and a semimonthly bulletin forecasting water levels and available depths in the Great Lakes connecting channels. Tabulations of river discharges, precipita- tion, diversions, stages at specific locations on the lakes, and other hydraulic and hydrologic data are also available. Other tabula- tions and compilations of data in charting and geodetic fields are posted currently for use in answering the large number of inquiries for such data received each year.

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.) Existing project. Plan provides for establishment of a har- bor for light-draft vessels at Marina del Rey. Los Angeles County, sponsor of project, requested modification of document plan be- cause the county believes 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 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1281 required length is provided. Modified plan, which replaces docu- ment plan, was approved by Chief of Engineers 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 com- bined 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, about 12,500,000 cubic yards, is to be utilized for construction of moles and deposi- tion on adjacent lowlands and beaches. Federal participation is limited by authorizing act to 50 percent of cost of entrance jetties and of entrance and main channel. As a result of model studies after high tides and surge in navi- gation channels during the winter of fiscal year 1963, project was further modified to include a 2,360-foot-long offshore breakwater about 640 feet seaward of entrance channels. Federal participa- tion on this modification is limited to 50 percent of cost. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range of tide between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.6 feet. Extreme range is about 10.5 feet. Latest (1964) approved estimate of first cost for project as modified is $27,468,000, comprising $4,295,000 Federal (including $42,000 for Coast Guard costs) and $23,173,000 non-Federal (including $4,253,000 required contributed funds). Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of September 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 has been further modified to conform to the 1959 master plan of local interests and to provide an offshore break- water as an additional protective structure for the harbor. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. About 950 boats are presently berthed in the harbor, and facilities to accommodate 1,500 boats by July 1282 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 1, 1964, are being installed. A Coast Guard station, a fireboat de- tachment, a fuel dock capable of serving several thousand boats, and the first of three repair yards are already in operation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Contract plans and specifications for offshore breakwater were completed, and con- struction initiated. Costs for breakwater construction were $1,058,300 regular funds and $867,400 required contributed funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was started February 1958. Construction of jetties, which are in good con- dition, was completed in November 1958; and construction of bases for navigation aids was completed in September 1959. Dredging was completed April 1962; and revetment May 1962. Construction of offshore breakwater is 50 percent complete.

MORRO BAY HARBOR, CALIF. Location. 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. Plan provides for two randomstone break- waters, 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 Bay; Morro channel from town of Morro Bay 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 RIVERS AND HARBORS - --LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1283 revetment levee extending 6,930 feet along waterfront at Morro Bay to retain marginal fills. A rehabilitation plan, to replace project-document plan, was approved in August 1961. Rehabilitation plan provides for re- storing deteriorated structures and channels to substantially the dimensions existing at completion of original construction, except that reconstructed 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 con- structed of monolithic concrete. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. Extreme range is about 8.5 feet. Federal first cost for new work for completed project was $2,612,093 Navy funds. No maintenance dredging has been per- formed since 1958. Latest (1964) approved estimate of Federal first cost for re- habilitation is $2,200,000. Existing project, adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2, 1945, authorized (a) improvements as set forth in House Docu- ment 283, 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 re- habilitation plan as approved is in "Design Memorandum, General Design for Rehabilitation of North Breakwater and Continuing Maintenance of Morro Bay Harbor, Near Morro Bay, California," prepared by Los Angeles District, 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 co- operation 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. Terminal facilities. Facilities, which are adequate for exist- ing commerce, comprise 640 feet of existing piers constructed by Navy, 550 feet of piers and 150 feet of floating docks con- structed by San Luis Obispo County, 263 feet of floating docks constructed by California Division of Beaches and Parks, 1,440 feet of privately owned piers, and 4,925 feet of privately owned floating docks. The footage of floating county docks and floating private docks reported in 1963 Annual Report were reduced by 200 and 100 feet, respectively, because of losses during the tsunami of March 28, 1964. Operations and results during fiscal year. Rehabilitation of breakwater was completed except for minor cleanup at a cost of $1,306,300 regular funds. Contract plans and specifications for maintenance project were completed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in 1946. Downcoast breakwater and stone dike connect- ing 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 naviga- 1284 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

PORT HUENEME HARBOR, CALIF. Location. 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 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, spon- sor of project, requested modification of document plan of harbor improvement to utilize more land now unimproved and less sub- divided 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 approxi- mately 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, amount- ing to 6,238,000 cubic yards from entrance channel, interior basin, and sandtrap was deposited in feeder beach area to restore down- coast 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 ma- terial are to be dredged each biennium from sandtrap formed by jetties and breakwater. This material will also be deposited to re- store downcoast shoreline as long as Federal ownership of lands and improvements necessitates such protection. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range between RIVERS AND HARBORS - --LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1285 mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. Extreme range is about 8.5 feet. Latest (1960) approved estimate of Federal first cost of new work on project as modified is $6,430,000 (including $29,500 for preauthorization studies and $1,220,000 Navy funds but exclud- ing cost to Coast Guard for installation of aids-to-navigation). Latest (1960) approved estimate of non-Federal first cost for required items of local cooperation is $3,880,000. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of September 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 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 development 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 proj- ect 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 encourage construction of canneries by private interests. Authorizing act also provides that biennial dredging and bypass- ing of beach material be continued at Federal expense only so long as Federal ownership or use of lands and improvements necessitates such protection. Action taken by Ventura County Board of Supervisors to- ward compliance with requirements of local cooperation: De- veloped, through hired consulting engineers, a master plan that indicates phasing of harbor facilities as required and provides for future development of more harbor area as needed; initiated action in acquiring some 282 lots and two acreage parcels; re- located existing water company wells; and acquired, by gift, a 110-acre parcel, with an appraised value of $240,000. Ventura County expended $2,376,694 (including $7,000 for a master-plan report) for items of local cooperation. No funds have been ex- pended by private interests. Terminal facilities. A one-lane launch ramp for outboard motorboats, a small dock and landing, and slip facilities for approximately 100 vessels. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging completed at $750,200 regular and Navy funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was started February 1959. Construction of north and south jetties was completed in June and September 1959, respectively. Construc- tion of detached breakwater was completed in October 1960. Original harbor dredging was completed in August 1961. Main- tenance dredging completed. 1286 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

SANTA BARBARA HARBOR, CALIF. Location. 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 provides for maintenance dredging of depths existing in 1934 in harbor formed by breakwater con- structed 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 available for operation of the plant 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 was 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, making 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 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 (1964) approved estimate of first cost for project as 1288 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. 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 estimated cost of similar dredging with dis- posal at sea; and $12,664 for dredging in vicinity of pier formerly owned by the Navy. 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. Subject 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 operation of dredge. This contract, dated March 6, 1956, was executed March 22, 1956, to be effective as of July 1, 1956. Under plan to modify existing project, local interests must give assurance they will hold the United States free from dam- ages; provide 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 completion 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; bear any additional cost for replenishment of beach sands east of harbor over those costs required for maintenance-dredging of general RIVERS AND HARBORS - --LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1289 navigation features; contribute in cash 49 percent of construction cost; provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction and future maintenance, including suitable disposal areas for initial and subsequent disposal of spoil and necessary retain- ing 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 re- plenishment of beach sands to downcoast beaches; and remove a portion of Stearn's wharf and make such other alterations or relocations as may be required for navigation improvements. Terminal facilities. 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 facili- ties 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 com- mercial 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 from regu- lar funds were $30,000 for repairs and dredging. Condition at end of fiscal year. City of Santa Barbara sub- mitted evidence that it has maintained an adequate entrance channel into harbor. No work has been performed under modified project.

ANAHEIM BAY HARBOR, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIF. Location. On coast of southern California in Orange County, 4 miles southeast of mouth of Los Angeles River at Long Beach. Existing project. Plan as originally authorized provided for Federal participation by contribution of Federal funds toward cost of artificial placement of about 200,000 cubic yards of sand on the shore, construction of one groin at Seal Beach, and place- ment of a feeder beach of 1 million cubic yards of sand at Surf Side. Existing project was later modified to provide for Federal participation by contribution of Federal funds toward the cost of work originally authorized for Seal Beach and an offshore breakwater at Newport Beach and placement of 3 mil- lion cubic yards of suitable material on the beach in lieu of placement of feeder beach at Surf Side. However, in accordance with River and Harbor Act of July 28, 1956, construction of any or all improvements in project may be undertaken by Corps of Engineers under arrangements explained under Local coopera- tion. Latest (1960) approved estimate of first cost for Seal Beach is $272,000, comprising $95,000 Federal and $177,000 non-Federal; BEACH EROSION CONTROL--LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1291 and latest (1964) approved estimate of first cost for additional work under modified project is $6,440,000, comprising $4,310,000 Federal and $2,130,000 non-Federal. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954 (H. Doc. 349, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). Modified project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 602, 87th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must adopt project plan of improvement and construct improvement unless Corps of Engi- neers agrees to construct improvement upon request of local inter- ests and upon receipt of required contributed funds and, if needed, advanced funds from local interests. Local interests must also submit for approval by Chief of Engineers prior to commence- ment of work detailed plans and specifications for project and also arrangements for prosecuting work by local interests; as- sure such maintenance of protective and improvement measures during useful life of project, including replenishment of feeder beach at suitable intervals, as may be required to serve project's intended purpose; provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way; assure that water pollution that would endanger health of bathers will not be permitted; and assure continued public ownership of shore upon which amount of Federal participation is based and assure its administration for public use only. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under modified project, 3,900,000 cubic yards of material were placed along Surf Side-Sunset Beach shore. Initiated a study of sand move- ment along the shore and into Newport Canyon as a step in the design of other phases of modified project at a cost of $527,191 required contributed funds and $1,093,050 advanced funds. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of groin and placement of 225,000 cubic yards of sand on the beach at Seal Beach was initiated by local interests in May and completed in September 1959. Cracks and spalling, with resultant ex- posure of reinforcing steel, have occurred at some places on groin since its completion. A 5-foot cap was removed by con- tractor and replaced, and additional required repairs were made. Sand placement under modified project has been completed, and design of other phases of modified project has been initiated.

E. TUCSON DIVERSION CHANNEL Location. 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 provides for protection for city of Tucson, Ariz., and suburban areas by diverting runoff from up- stream 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 con- structed a major part of improvement under their plan. Sub- sequently, local interests requested a modification of project- document plan to provide more flood control than would be avail- able under plan developed by local interests. General provisions of modified plan, which replaces document 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 accom- modate standard-project flood discharge; and conveying flood- flow to Santa Cruz River by means of an improved channel along Julian Wash. Work under modified plan would involve complet- ing diversion channel between Tucson Arroyo and Southern Pacific Railroad and enlarging that channel at Tucson Arroyo; enlarg- ing existing diversion channel between Southern Pacific Railroad and detention basin; completing excavation of detention basin FLOOD CONTROL-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1303 and increasing discharge capacity; increasing capacity of diver- sion channel between detention basin and Julian Wash; construct- ing an improved channel along Julian Wash; reconstructing or modifying eight highway bridges and two railroad bridges; and constructing five new highway bridges. Latest (1964) approved estimate of first cost for project is $9,460,000, comprising $6,520,000 Federal and $2,940,000 non- Federal, including $1,008,000 spent for that part of completed improvements under plan developed by local interests that is to be utilized under modified plan. 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 and rights-of-way for construction; pay for relocation of utilities, and construct necessary highway bridges, dips, and relocations; hold the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate improvements after completion. Operationsand results during fiscal year. Construction of part 1 was completed. Contract plans and specifications for part 2 were completed and construction initiated Contract plans and specifications for part 3 were initiated. Preparation of operation and maintenance manual was initiated. Costs were $226,200 for railroad relocations and $1,764,000 for channel construction- all from regular funds; and about $235,000 other contributed funds for highway relocations.

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 provides for three separate flood con- trol units: Las Vegas unit, Henderson unit, and Powerline 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, Charles- ton Boulevard, and Flamingo Wash drainage areas, would consist of two diversion levees, a detention basin, and an outlet channel. One diversion levee and the detntion 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 FLOOD CONTROL---LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT .1305 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 25,300 feet, a capacity of 14,660 acre-feet (including 2,000 acre-feet for sedi- mentation), and 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 inter- cepted 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 be- tween 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 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 out- let channel. Detention basin, with a height of about 31 feet, a length of about 11,300 feet, and a capacity of about 1,380 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 trape- zoidal channel would extend generally northward for about 16,800 feet to a point just downstream 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, would provide protection for developed 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) approved estimate of first cost for project is $19,300,000 ($13,900,000 Federal and $5,400,000 non-Federal). 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 and rights-of-way for construction; make alterations 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 1306 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 limits and regulations for preservation of flood capacities of re- commended channels and detention basins: Provided, further, that construction of any one of the three units may be under- taken independently of the others whenever funds for that pur- pose are available and the prescribed local cooperation provided. To June 30, 1963, local interests 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 early part of fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project reclassified inactive February 24, 1964.

(c) Burbank-Eastern system: Plan provides for Sunset, Elm- wood, Childs, and Hillcrest debris basins and 5.97 miles of rec- tangular, concrete channel and reinforced-concrete pipe. Plan provides for enlarging existing debris basin in Brand Canyon. Each debris basin is to be connected by tributary channels to main channel of Burbank-Eastern system, which extends to Los Angeles River near Flower Street in city of Glendale. Because 1:808 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 most of alinement is restricted to existing streets, practically all of the channel is covered. (d) Dead Horse Canyon and Royal Boulevard channel: Plan for Dead Horse Canyon provides for a reinforced-concrete pipe from mouth of canyon to Verdugo Wash channel (a distance of 0.5 mile); and plan for Royal Boulevard channel provides mostly for a reinforced-concrete pipe from mouth of canyon to Verdugo Wash channel (a distance of 0.53 mile). (e) Verdugo Wash, upper Canada bridge to debris basin: Plan provides for enlargement of an existing debris basin, which is at a point where the wash turns south through pass between Verdugo Mountains and San Rafael Hills; and reconstruction of channel from debris basin downstream to reconstructed channel at upper Canada Boulevard bridge (a distance of 0.87 mile). (f) Winery Canyon: Plan provides for a debris basin at mouth of canyon and an open, rectangular, concrete channel to Hay Canyon channel (a distance of 2.06 miles). Units of improvement not physically completed in San Gabriel River basin: S(a), Coyote Creek: Plan provides for improvement of about 10 miles of main Coyote Creek channel extending upstream from confluence with San Gabriel River and improvement of about 4 miles of channel of North Fork of Coyote Creek between Leffingwell Road and main channel. (b) Emerald Wash and Live Oak Wash: Plan for Emerald Wash provides for construction of an open, rectangular, concrete channel for 3 miles upstream from Puddingstone Reservoir. East Branch channel will be an open, rectangular, concrete channel with a width of 14 feet. Plan for Live Oak Wash provides fpr an open, rectangular, concrete channel, ranging in width from 18 to 20 feet, for 2.3 miles upstream from Emerald Wash. (e) Marshall Creek: Plan provides for construction of a rec= tangular, concrete channel that would extend upstream for about 2.1 miles from Live Oak Wash channel to confluence of Marshall Creek and its west fork and then upstream for about 0.4 mile on both Marshall Creek and its west fork. (d) San Gabriel River channel, Whittier Narrows flood con- trol reservoir to Pacific Ocean: Plan provides for an open, trape- zoidal channel about 21.64 miles long and a design discharge of 60,000 cubic feet per second at the ocean. (e) Thompson Creek and San Jose Wash (including San Jose Creek): Plan for Thompson Creek provides for an open, rectan- gular concrete channel from outlet of Thompson Creek Dam downstream to junction with San Jose Wash (a distance of 6.20 miles). Plan for San Jose Wash provides for a rectangular, concrete channel from lower end of proposed channel on Thomp- son Creek downstream to a point about 2,000 feet above its con- fluence with San Jose Creek (a distance of 5.07 miles). Plan for San Jose Creek provides for a rectangular, concrete channel from downstream end of San Jose Wash improvement to existing San Jose Creek diversion channel (a distance of about 11.8 miles,). Unit of improvement not physically completed in Rio Hondo baSin is Santa Anita Wash and Sierra Madre Wash. This unit FLOOD CONTROL-LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1309 includes a debris basin near mouth of Santa Anita Canyon; about 4.7 miles of reinforced-concrete channel on Santa Anita Wash from debris basin to junction with Rio Hondo improvement; about 1.6 miles of rectangular, reinforced-concrete channel on Sierra Madre Wash from inlet to Orange Grove Avenue; about 0.3 mile of rectangular, reinforced-concrete channel from Orange Grove Avenue to Santa Anita Wash; and a confluence structure. Channels are designed to carry flows of channel-design flood through highly developed residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Units of improvement not physically completed in the Ballona Creek basin prior to fiscal year 1964: (a) Benedict Canyon: This unit, in combination with unit for Higgins and Coldwater Canyons and Rexford-Monte Mar channel, would drain most of Beverly Hills and parts of Los Angeles and Culver City. Combined units would empty into Ballona Creek channel at Madison Street; and (b) Higgins and Coldwater Canyons and Rexford-Monte Mar channel: See Benedict Canyon.

PINE AND MATHEWS CANYONS RESERVOIRS, COLORADO RIVER BASIN, NEV. Location. In Lincoln County, Nev., about 100 miles north of Hoover Dam and about 17 and 20 miles, respectively, east of Caliente, Nev. Existing project. Reservoirs are interdependent units of a project for protection of lands and improvements against floods along Clover Creek, Meadow Valley Wash, and lower Muddy River, Nev., in Virgin River basin, which is a part of Colorado River basin. Each unit consists of a dam and a reservoir for flood control. Pine Canyon Dam is an earthfill structure with a maximum height of 92 feet above streambed and a crest length of 884 feet. In a saddle at left of dam is a dike (an earthfill structure) with a maximum height above saddle of 40 feet and a crest length of 893 feet. A 330-foot spillway, crest elevation 5,675 feet, is along left wall of canyon about midway between dam and dike. Reser- voir has a total capacity at spillway crest of 7,840 acre-feet (1954), including 1,400 acre-feet reserved for sediment. Opera- tion of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 45 square miles, reducing standard project flood from 10,500 to 322 cubic feet per second. Mathews Canyon Dam is an earthfill structure with a maxi- mum height of 71 feet above streambed and with a crest length of 800 feet. A 50-foot spillway (crest elevation, 5,461 feet) is in a saddle to left of left abutment. Reservoir has a total capacity at spillway crest of 6,260 acre-feet (1954), including 1,000 acre-feet FLOOD CONTROL---LOS ANGELES, CALIF., DISTRICT 1321 reserved for sediment. Operation of reservoir regulates runoff from a tributary area of 34 square miles, reducing standard project flood from 8,500 to 260 cubic feet per second. Latest (1957) approved estimate of first cost for project is $1,700,000, all Federal. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 530, 81st Cong., 2d sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must adjust all water- rights claims resulting from operation of improvements and keep flood channels downstream from flood control reservoir free from manmade encroachments. Local interests provided satisfactory assurances. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operations con- sisted of maintaining dams in good condition and administering real estate. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of reservoirs was completed in December 1957. Work remaining consists of preparing reservoir-regulation manual.

NOYO RIVER AND HARBOR, CALIF. Location. Harbor is a cove on California coast about 100 miles south of Humboldt Bay and 135 miles northwest of San Fran- cisco. Noyo River rises in Coast Range Mountains, flows west- erly, and empties into Noyo Harbor. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 5703.) Previous projects. For details see page 1680, Annual Report for 1929, and page 1772, Annual Report for 1930. Existing project. Provides for two rubblemound breakwaters, south breakwater 1,100 feet long and north breakwater 500 feet long; two entrance jetties; and an entrance channel into Noyo River 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide and a channel in river 10 feet deep and 150 feet wide extending about 0.6 mile above mouth. All depths refer to mean lower low water. Tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.8 feet. Extreme range is about 11.5 feet. Latest approved estimate of cost for new work (1964), exclu- sive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $14,354,000, $14,014,000 Federal cost and $340,000 to be contributed by local interests. Mooring basin portion of project is to be restudied and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of this portion, revised in 1961, was $456,000.

SRequires determination by Area Redevelopment Administration that improvement is essential to its program for redeveloping the area. Local cooperation. Act of July 3, 1930, requires local interests provide suitable areas for disposal of dredged materials, royalty- free stone for construction and repair of jetties, and suitable rights-of-way needed in transporting stone to jetties. These requirements have been fully complied with for work performed to date. Expenditures by local interests in meeting requirements of local cooperation and in constructing privately owned shore- side harbor facilities are estimated to be in excess of $1 million. Act of March 2, 1945, as modified by act of October 23, 1962, requires that, prior to construction, local interests contribute in cash a sum equal to 2.4 percent of construction cost of project, such contribution presently estimated at $340,000; provide lands and rights-of-way for construction and subsequent maintenance and for aids to navigation upon request of the Chief of Engineers; hold the United States free from damages; and provide and maintain adequate public terminal and transfer facilities for handling timber and petroleum products, including necessary utilities, open to all on equal terms in accordance with plans approved by the Chief of Engineers, such facilities to be con- structed prior to or concurrently with construction of break- waters. Noyo Harbor District, by resolutions dated February 2 and June 21, 1962, indicated its ability and willingness to meet requirements. Terminal facilities. None in harbor proper. In river above harbor there are two piers and six fish-receiving wharves, three of which have boat fueling stations thereon; one boat fueling wharf; two boat building and repair plants; two boat icing plants; and a number of mooring facilities all privately owned. These facilities are considered adequate, with exception of moor- ing and berthing facilities for fishing boats. Improvement of project as authorized will provide additional protected area for required facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Ad- vance engineering and design for construction of breakwaters by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is about 2 percent complete. Work remaining is construction of breakwaters in Noyo Harbor. Unconstructed mooring basin and connecting channel in river is being restudied. Jetties, rock removal, and 1342 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 dredging entrance and river channels were completed in 1931.

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 1344 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance. This require- ment 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 railroad bridge at Fruitvale Avenue until 1942 when California Court of Appeals ruled that it was illegal for County of Alameda to use appropri- ated funds for sole benefit of a private corporation. Southern 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. (Rail- road 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 avail- able of costs to local interests in meeting requirements of local cooperation. Recorded expenditures are in excess of $11 million. Act of October 23, 1962, requires that prior to construction local interests provide lands and rights-of-way for construction and maintenance of improvement; hold the United States free from damages to wharves, piers, tubes, and other marine and sub- marine structures due to initial dredging and subsequent mainte- nance; accomplish alterations required in sewer, water supply, drainage, and other utility facilities; provide and maintain ade- quate 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 mainte- nance. State of California, on September 12, 1961, furnished assur- ances that it will hold the United States free from liability for damages to Posey and Webster Street Tubes due to initial dredg- ing and subsequent maintenance. Required assurances of cooper- ation for all other items of local cooperation have been provided by Port of Oakland and city of Alameda. Terminal facilities.

It leaves main river 21/2 miles downstream from Mossdale State Highway Bridge, or 131/2 miles above mouth of Stockton Channel, and flows westerly and northerly 32 miles to its lower confluence with main river 23 miles above its mouth in Suisun Bay. Existing project. Authorized project extends along Old River 1371 1372 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 from its mouth near Venice Island to its source in San Joaquin River near Mossdale and provides for a side channel 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide to Santa Fe wharves and Phillips Cannery at Orwood; for channels 10 feet deep and 100 feet wide in Grant Line Canal west of Doughty Cut, 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide from westerly end of Doughty Cut to Holly Sugar Factory, 2 miles north of Tracy, 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide from southerly end of Doughty Cut to head of Old River, and 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide in Old River from westerly end of Grant Line Canal to Lammers Ferry Road; and entrances 8 feet deep and 80 feet wide to Fabian-Bell Canal at its westerly end and also westerly of Grant Line Bridge. All depths are referred to mean lower low water. Tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water at head of Old River is about 3 feet; and at its mouth about 5.5 feet; ordinary flood ranges are 16 and 8 feet, respectively; extreme flood ranges are 20 and 11 feet, respec- tively. Total first costs for portion completed in fiscal year 1939 were $26,785, of which $23,185 were Federal costs and $3,600 non- Federal costs for lands, damages, and public landings. Uncom- pleted portion of project (comprising completion of project chan- nels up to and at Orwood; in Fabian-Bell Canal; in Grant Line Canal; from Grant Line Canal to head of Old River in San Joaquin River; and in original channel of Old River from Grant Line Canal up to Lammers Ferry Road) is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of this portion $63,815, of which $62,815 (July 1954) were Federal costs and $1,000 non-Federal costs (1939) for lands, damages, and public landings. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (H. Doc. 151, 75th Cong., 1st sess., which con- tains latest published map). Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed portion. Terminal facilities. Holly Sugar Co. refinery and terminal near Tracy has a large wharf and an unloading basin with three mechanical unloading and conveying units connecting with a warehouse; there is also a passing basin one-half mile down- stream. There are about 100 private bank landings along project channels; some have sheds for storage. These are all privately owned and operated. Existing commerce does not indicate a need for provision of public landings. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Con- dition studies and miscellaneous inspections and reports, includ- ing maintenance of gages and gage readings, were accomplished by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work was accomplished in fiscal year 1939 in Old River channel from its head in San Joaquin River to Grant Line Canal and in channels of Grant Line Canal, Crocker Cut, and Doughty Cut. Existing commerce does not indicate a need for completion of remaining channel construc- tion. Channel is navigable all year. The two heads of navigation are at head of Old River in San RIVERS AND HARBORS - SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1373 Joaquin River, and at Holly Sugar Factory wharf, 2 miles north of Tracy. Controlling depths at end of fiscal year: From mouth of river to Orwood, 11 miles, 10 feet; thence to lower end of Grant Line Canal, 10 miles, 10 feet; thence: (a) to Holly Sugar Factory near Tracy, 5 feet (low-water season), or (b) to head of Old River in San Joaquin River, 5 feet (low-water season).

None required on shallow-draft feature of proj- ect. Terminal facilities. Piers, wharves, and docks at port of Sac- ramento 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 connections. 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, ad- ministration and storage buildings, and belt railroad facilities. Majority of these facilities are owned and operated by Sacra- mento-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- water ship channel: Major accomplishments during fiscal year included: Channel dredging, mile 18.2 to 26.8, initiated in fiscal year 1961 by continuing contract, resulted in removal of 17,600,- 000 cubic yards of material and was completed at fiscal year cost of $618,176; maintenance shop buildings and facilities and lock control house modifications at cost of $52,416; barge canal bank erosion repairs and stone protection at cost of $26,108; and initial contract for stage construction and patrol roads at cost of $213,668. Maintenance: Shallow draft channel: Dredging shoals in Sac- ramento River above and below Sacramento, Sacramento Harbor,. and Steamboat Slough, by hired labor and rented clamshell 1376 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 dredge, resulted in removal of 206,000 cubic yards of material at cost of $49,505. Removal of snags along Sacramento River between Colusa weir and Butte City by contract was accom- plished at cost of $68,543. Dredging shoals in Sacramento River, Barge Canal to Bryte Bend and mouth of American River, by hired labor and rented clamshell dredge, resulted in removal of 460,000 cubic yards of material at cost of $291,052. Deep water ship channel: Maintenance of lock, including gates, was accomplished by hired labor at fiscal year cost of $71,752. Development of spoil area, removal of mud shoal in harbor and turning basin, and restoration of project levee was accomplished by contract at fiscal year cost of $196,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. 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 per- cent complete. Work remaining to complete shallow-draft por- tion of project is provision of a 5-foot depth between Colusa and Chico Landing (50 miles). Completion of shallow-draft channel is indefinite. Construction of 30-foot deepwater 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 deepwater ship channel is about 94 percent com- plete. Controlling low-water-season depths for shallow-draft channel were: From mouth of river to Cache Slough, 30 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 after maintenance dredging to be performed in fiscal year 1965. Current controlling depth is 27.5 feet. Final completion of project, however, will not be accom- plished until certain items deferred due to site conditions or un- certainty as to requirements have been completed. Items com- prise: (a) Final shaping ship channel levees to provide design height, without which levee fills already placed could be washed out by floodflows in Yolo Bypass; foundation conditions were such that shaping could only be accomplished in stages; (b) patrol roads on ship channel levees to facilitate maintenance inspection of levees; and (c) bank protection where required to control or prevent erosion of channel banks; specific requirements cannot be entirely determined until project operation discloses where ero- sion is to be expected.

Deep water channel is San Joaquin River extends from its mouth in Suisun Bay at Pittsburg to city of Stockton, a distance of 41 miles. Waterborne access to city provided by Stockton Channel, an artificial cut extending from river about 21/4 miles into city. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Sheet No. 5527.) Existing project. Authorized in numerous River and Harbor Acts since 1876. It provides for Stockton deep water channel to city of Stockton and for minor channel improvements from Stockton Channel upstream for 86 miles to Hills Ferry to facil- itate light-draft navigation. The 1927 River and Harbor Act 1378 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 authorized original deep-water channel with a depth of 26 feet, which was subsequently modified to 30 feet by 1935 authorization, and most recent modification of project was authorized by 1950 River and Harbor Act. Prior to 1950 modification, project pro- vided for a channel of 30-foot depth, and from 225- to 400-foot bottom width, from mouth of San Joaquin River, at Pittsburg, to Stockton, a distance of about 41 miles; channel improvements at Stockton; two passing basins; two settling basins; reconstruction of certain levees required for channel improvement; and snag- ging, removing overhanging trees and construction of wing dams between Stockton Channel and Hills Ferry. The 1950 modifica- tion provided for enlargement of existing turning basin at Stock- ton: constructiostruction of a new turning basin near Rough and Ready Island; enlargement of upper Stockton Channel; construction of 30-foot deep Burns Cutoff Channel around Rough and Ready Island, including construction of a combination rail and highway bridge; construction of a new settling basin on San Joaquin River upstream from its confluence with Stockton Channel; and placement of bank protection on face of levee along San Joaquin River below Stockton that has been critically damaged by traffic- induced wave action.

An artificial cut about 3 miles east of Stockton, Calif., which extends from Mormon Slough northwesterly about 4 / miles to intersect original Calaveras River Channel near RIVERS AND HARBORS - -SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1381 northeast corner of city of Stockton. (See U.S. Geological Sur- vey sheet, Stockton quadrangle.) Existing project. Provides for diverting waters of Mormon Slough before reaching Mormon and Stockton Channels for pur- pose of preventing debris deposits in navigable portions of Stock- ton and Mormon Channels. Results were obtained by construc- tion 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) enlargement 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 cost of new work for project, completed in 1923, was $283,851, of which $253,151 was Federal cost and $30,700 (Dec. 1898) non-Federal cost for rights-of-way required for diverting canal. Improvement No. 21, Mormon Slough, Calaveras River, Calif., was authorized by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. Since local interests stated they would maintain diverting canal and lower Calaveras River after completion of project, Federal main- tenance of existing Stockton and Mormon Channels project (div- erting 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).

Location. On Chowchilla River about 36 miles above its mouth and about 16 miles northeast of city of Chowchilla, Calif. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles for area.) Existing project. Plan provides for construction of a 202-foot high rockfill dam to create a reservoir with gross storage capacity of 150,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife. In conjunction with dam, project plan provides for approximately 5 miles of downstream levee and channel con- struction on Ash Slough to accommodate a project design flow of 5,000 cubic feet per second within slough. Operation and main- tenance of dam and reservoir would be responsibility of the Federal Government. Latest approved estimate (July 1964) of cost for existing proj- ect is $15,470,000, of which $15,300,000 are Federal costs and $170,000 non-Federal costs for lands, and damages including re- locations for the downstream levee and channel improvements. In addition, local interests must reimburse the Federal Govern- ment the portion of the first cost and annual operation and main- tenance costs allocated to conservation functions of project. These costs are currently estimated at 47.7 percent of the first cost and 46.7 percent of annual costs. Local interests have also, over a period of years, expended approximately $500,000 for construction of low levees and clearing downstream channels to provide some local flood protection in the project area. This work is inadequate during major floods. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (See S. Doc. 98, 87th Congress, 2d sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. State of California officially adopted proj- ect by chapter 1203 of statutes of 1963, and by chapter 1438 of those statutes authorized State Reclamation Board to furnish assurances that local cooperation requirements for the supple- mental channel improvements will be met. With respect to the dam and reservoir, local interests, repre- sented by the Chowchilla Water District, must reimburse the Fed- eral Government the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of the project. These costs are presently estimated at 47.7 percent of the first cost and 46.7 percent of annual costs. Project authoriza- tion provides for project to be financially integrated into the Central Valley project of the Bureau of Reclamation. Representa- tives of Bureau and Chowchilla Water District discussed con- tractual arrangements to be made for reimbursement of costs allocated to conservation functions. Local interests sponsoring any permanent pool in the reservoir for fish and wildlife or FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1387 recreation must settle all claims for water rights pertaining to establishment and use of a permanent pool for these purposes. With respect to supplemental channel improvement work, Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies; relocations include relocation of highway facilities. In addition, local inter- ests must preserve, or restore and thereafter maintain, the other channels of Chowchilla River and Ash and Berenda Sloughs, from Buchanan Dam downstream to Chowchilla Canal, at capacities existing in 1960. State Reclamation Board, by letter dated December 13, 1963, stated that it will furnish required assurances when formally requested to do so. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Funds were allotted in January 1964 to permit initiation of advance planning on the project. Engineering studies were initiated per- taining to preparation of design memoranda for hydrology, pre- liminary master plan, and general design memorandum. Contract work and applicable contract costs were accomplished as follows: Foundation and spillway explorations, $16,630; topographic map- ping of damsite, $6,265; surveys of reservoir area, $12,740.

CALAVERAS RIVER AND LITTLEJOHN CREEK AND TRIBUTARIES, INCLUDING NEW HOGAN AND FARMINGTON RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location. Streams comprising Calaveras River and Lettlejohn Creek groups rise in Sierra Nevada and its foothills, flow west- erly across flatlands, of San Joaquin Valley and empty into San Joaquin River directly, or through various sloughs, in vicinity of Stockton, Calif. Littlejohn Creek is in Calaveras, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Counties. The three principal stream systems of the group are, from south to north, Lone Tree Creek, Little- john Creek, and Duck Creek. Calaveras River group is in Calaveras and San Joaquin Counties. The two principal streams of the group are, from south to north, Calaveras River and Bear Creek. (See U.S. Geological Survey Valley Springs quadrangle for New Hogan Reservoir area and Trigo and Bachelor Valley quadrangles for Farmington Reservoir area.) Existing project. Consists of: (a) Farmington Reservoir, with a gross storage capacity of 52,000 acre-feet, a diversion channel from Duck Creek to Littlejohn Creek, two dikes across downstream channels leading from Duck Creek to Mormon Slough, and enlargement of downstream Littlejohn Creek Channels for exclusive purpose of flood control. Reservoir is formed by an earthfill dam with a maximum height of about 58 feet and about 1388 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 7,800 feet long; it is on Littlejohn Creek 31/2 miles upstream from Farmington and about 18 miles easterly of Stockton, Calif. Out- let works are in right abutment and consist of two rectangular concrete conduits, each 6 by 9 feet, controlled by slide gates, and a stilling basin. A concrete broadcrested weir approximately 95 feet long, in right abutment, serves as spillway. Duck Creek diversion, approximately 1 mile east of Farmington, comprises an earth dike across Duck Creek with two pipe outlets, a concrete overflow weir adjacent thereto, and a diversion channel approxi- mately 5,014 feet long with a capacity of 2,000 cubic feet per second to Littlejohn Creek. The two dikes across downstream channels are earthfill construction and approximately 3 and 8 miles, respectively, west of Farmington. Littlejohn Creek down- stream channel improvement comprises an enlarged and im- proved channel from vicinity of Farmington to French Camp. Total first costs (July 1955 price level) for project were $3,995,684, of which $3,676,384 were Federal costs and $319,300 non-Federal costs for lands and damages including relocations. (b) New Hogan Reservoir with a gross capacity of 325,000 acre-feet on Calaveras River for flood control, irrigation, and other related conservation purposes. Dam is a combination rock and earthfill structure with maximum height of 200 feet and about 1,960 feet long, together with four rolled-earthfill dikes having a combined length of about 1,355 feet and a maximum height of 18 feet. A gated spillway is about 600 feet south of left abutment of dam. Improvement is about 28 miles northeast of Stockton, Calif., and downstream from present small Hogan Dam, which had been owned and operated by city of Stockton for partial flood protection of that city. Operation and maintenance of project will be responsibility of the Federal Government. The initial North Shore recreation area has been completed. Recreation boating hazards caused by small Hogan Dam will be minimized by placing buoys and marking as restricted area. At minimum pool the old dam will extend 47 feet above water surface, and at gross pool it will be about 80 feet below water surface. Latest approved estimates (July 1964) of Federal costs for existing project are $15,200,000, including $453,000 for basic recreational facilities. Local interests must pay portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of project. These costs are currently es- timated at 36.2 percent of first cost and 38 percent of annual costs. In addition, local interests contributed land, the current (July 1964) market value of which is $556,000. Latest approved estimate of Federal cost for additional rec- reational facilities, to be funded from Code 710 appropriations, is $460,000. (c) Levee and channel improvement of Bear Creek, San Joa- quin County, provides for construction of about 41 miles of low levees and 24 miles of channel improvement for flood control purposes. Project extends from about 2 miles south of town of Lockeford, Calif., along Bear Creek to Disappointment Slough, FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1389 a delta channel which connects with San Joaquin River at mile 28.5. This construction will provide a channel with a capacity of 5,500 cubic feet per second, with 3 feet of levee freeboard. Latest approved estimates (July 1964) of costs for existing project are $6,620,000, of which $3,310,000 are Federal costs, including reimbursement to local interests of one-half of excess local interest costs of lands, rights-of-way and relocations over estimated Federal construction cost in accordance with section 3, Public Law 738, 74th Congress. Such reimbursement is esti- mated at $440,000. Non-Federal costs included in the above amount are $3,310,000, for lands and damages, exclusive of above Federal reimbursement. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 545, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which con- tains latest published map.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with for Farmington and New Hogan Dams and Reservoirs. Bear Creek, San Joaquin County: Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies. Assurances were accepted by District Engineer June 4, 1962. State Reclamation Board en- tered into contracts with San Joaquin County and Division of State Highways relative to county bridges and State highways affected by project. Local interests fully complied with require- ments for all work under contract, and indicated they will be able to fulfill local cooperation requirements for remaining work (as scheduled). Authority to accept contributed funds of $650,- 000 for construction work requested by local interests was given by Comptroller of the Army January 31, 1963, under authority of War Department Civil Appropriation Act, 1938. Funds of $515,000 have been furnished to cover non-Federal costs for first construction unit. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: New Hogan Reservoir: Operations included continuation of engineer- ing and various minor cleanup construction work items by hired labor and/or contract. Contract to provide quarters for two resident operators, including access roads and additional hydro- logic communication facilities, was initiated at a fiscal year cost of $28,950. Construction of main dam and appurtenances con- tinued and substantially completed by contract at fiscal year cost of $1,778,237; final closure of dam was accomplished November 27, 1963. Bureau of Reclamation was advised December 18, 1963, that project was available for storage or delivery of water. Local interests, with Greater Stockton Chamber of Commerce as Administrative agency, held a dedication ceremony May 23, 1964. Bear Creek, San Joaquin County: Contract for first construc- tion unit, levee construction from Disappointment Slough to U.S. Highway 99, continued at fiscal year cost of $712,104, of which $475,154 were Federal costs and $236,950 non-Federal contributed funds, other (pursuant to requirements of local co- operation). Contract for second construction unit, levee con- struction from U.S. Highway 99 to Harney Lane together with gaging station, was initiated at fiscal year cost of $180,147, of 1390 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 which $160,000 were Federal costs and $20,147 non-Federal con- tributed funds, other (pursuant to requirements of local coopera- tion). There were no damaging flows on Bear Creek. Maintenance: Farmington Reservoir: Maintenance and op- eration activities continued; strictures were maintained in a serviceable condition. Additional water level recording facilities were installed for recording pool levels down to outlet invert elevation. No major repairs or replacements were required. During winter rain flood season, maximum flow of Duck Creek Diversion was 350 cubic feet per second on January 22, 1964. Maximum flow of Littlejohn Creek at Farmington was 1,320 cubic feet per second on January 22, 1964, all from Farmington Reservoir. Maximum storage in reservoir was 1,750 acre-feet and peak inflow to reservoir 2,500 cubic feet per second on Janu- ary 22, 1964. This flow without reservoir would have caused damages in vicinity of Stockton, Calif., to urban, suburban, and farmlands, to roads and highways, and to industrial areas, amounting to about $100,000. With reservoir in operation, flows were nondamaging. New Hogan. Reservoir: Maintenance and operation of project was initiated in December 1963 by hired labor. Runoff of Calaveras River above New Hogan Dam was below normal for the year. Storage impoundment was commenced in December 1963; no flood control releases were required. Max- imum inflow of 2,620 cubic feet per second occurred January 24, 1964; this flow would not have caused damage had the reservoir not been in operation. Maximum storage of 29,800 acre-feet occurred May 8, 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Farmington Reservoir: Con- struction of Farmington project was initiated in July 1949, and completed for beneficial flood control operation in calendar year 1952. Duck Creek channel improvement was completed in No- vember 1951; and channel improvement on south Littlejohn Creek was completed in May 1955. There are no recreation facilities and no public-use areas. All work on project has been completed. New Hogan Reservoir: Construction was initiated May 1960 and completed for operational use in June 1964. Closure of main dam was initiated May 24, and completed November 27, 1963; Bureau of Reclamation was advised December 18, 1963, that project was available for storage or delivery of water. Actual possession of city of Stockton lands has been accomplished and project is being operated by the Corps of Engineers. Work re- maining includes completion of minor work on roads, dam, and residences; and provision of radio-reporting precipitation-tem- perature gages. Additional recreational facilities are to be pro- vided from Code 710 appropriations for "Recreation Facilities at Completed Projects." Bear Creek, San Joaquin County: Construction of project, initiated in June 1963, is 30 percent complete. Contract work for first construction unit 96 percent complete and for second construction unit 22 percent complete.

CAMANCHE RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location. Camanche Dam is on Mokelumne River, about 50 miles upstream of its mouth and about 20 miles northeast of Stockton. (See U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of area.) Existing project. Federal participation consists of a contri- bution toward first cost of Camanche Reservoir, in an amount commensurate with flood control benefits to be attained. Project construction was accomplished by East Bay Municipal Utility District. Federal contribution is based on provision of a maxi- mum of 200,000 acre-feet of reservoir storage for flood control operation, generally during winter months. Camanche Reservoir is a multiple-purpose storage reservoir for flood control and water supply. Improvement comprises a 171- foot high-zoned earth- and gravel-fill dam, creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 431,500 acre-feet. Latest approved estimated (July 1964) cost is $32,920,000, of which $9,480,000 is Federal contribution toward flood control, exclusive of $120,000 incidental Federal costs, and $23,320,000 non-Federal cost for construction. Amount is based on cost- allocation report approved by President of the United States on March 9, 1962. House Document 436, 87th Congress, 2d session, Camanche Reservoir, Mokelumne River, Calif., established Fed- eral contribution at 28.9 percent of actual construction cost, but not to exceed $14 million, excluding Federal costs for engineer- ing, administration of funds, and interest on Federal expendi- ture during construction period. Federal contribution authorized by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960. 1392 REPORT OF THE CHIEP OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Local cooperation. In consideration for a Federal contribu- tion toward first costs of construction, a formal contract per- taining to flood control operation of project based upon House Document 436, 87th Congress, 2d session, was consummated with East Bay Municipal Utility District on March 19, 1962, and approved by Secretary of the Army April 19, 1962. An agree- ment dated January 3, 1961, between Utility District and State Department of Fish and Game relative to mitigation of damage to fish and wildlife was made a part of above formal contract. Utility District contracted with Amador and Calaveras County for upstream water rights. Project was constructed as one phase of Utility District's ex- pansion program, which is financed by authorization of $250 million in general obligation bonds. Contract for construction of main dam and appurtenances was awarded by Utility District in March 1962; dam closure was completed in November 1963. Except for final settlement for land acquisition, the Camanche project was completed in April 1964 and the reservoir is in op- eration. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering continued. Federal contributions toward flood control benefits of $2,500,000 and $600,000 were made to the Utility District July 24, 1963, and January 21, 1964, respectively. Contract for construction of main dam and appurtenances, initiated in fiscal year 1963, was substantially completed; dam closure was completed November 7, 1963. Project was dedicated May 15, 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Cost allocation and formal contract for payment for flood control storage have been ap- proved.

DUCK CREEK, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY, CALIF. Location. Small tributary of San Joaquin River south of city of Stockton, Calif., between Calaveras River-Mormon Slough and Littlejohn Creek. (See U.S. Geological Survey Manteca and Stockton quadrangles.) Existing project. Provides for intermittent channel enlarge- ment of Duck Creek from existing diversion dam near Farming- ton to French Camp Slough and raising earth section of existing diversion dam 3.5 feet with extension to high ground; total channel distance from dam to French Camp Slough is 20.5 miles. Latest approved estimated (July 1960) cost for project is FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1393 $690,000, of which $345,000 is Federal cost including $50,000 reimbursement to local interests for 50 percent of land costs in excess of construction costs. This reimbursement is in accord- ance with provisions of section 3, 1936 Flood Control Act. Net non-Federal costs included in the above amount are $345,000, exclusive of Federal reimbursement of $150,000, for lands and damages including relocations (exclusive of railroad facilities). Existing project approved by Chief of Engineers, December 12, 1961, under provisions of section 205, 1948 Flood Control Act, as amended. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way, including in this provision the undertaking of all necessary relocations and modifications of structures and utilities (with exception of railroad bridges), subject to reimbursement by United States of one-half of excess of such rights-of-way costs over construction costs, and maintain and operate project works and channel, including prevention of encroachments on project channels by unauthorized construction of bridges, road crossings, dams, or other obstructions. Formal assurances, furnished by Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, were accepted by Sacramento District Engineer March 18, 1963. Rights-of-way are scheduled to be furnished July 1964. San Joaquin County will contract for design and construction of any new bridges required. A portion of local interests construction will be accomplished concurrently with Federal construction and under the same contract; funds are to be contributed to the United States by local in-save ts to defray all costs incurred for the county's work. Operations and results during fiscal year. Contract plans and specifications were completed and approved. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction contract is sched- uled to be advertised during August 1964. Cost and financial statement Total to year................

HIDDEN RESERVOIR, FRESNO RIVER, CALIF. Location. On Fresno River about 50 miles above its mouth and about 15 miles northeast of Madera, Calif. (See U.S. Geo- logical Survey quadrangles for area.) Existing project. Plan provides for construction of a 158-foot high earthfill dam to create a reservoir with gross storage capac- ity of 90,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, recreation and other purposes. In conjunction with the dam the project plan provides for approximately 7 miles of downstream levee and channel improvements on Fresno River from Fresno River by- pass to Chowchilla Canal to accommodate project design flow 1394 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 of 5,000 cubic feet per second. Operation and maintenance of dam and reservoir would be responsibility of Federal Govern- ment. Latest approved estimated (July 1964) cost for existing proj- ect is $16,960,000, of which $16,700,000 are Federal costs, in- cluding $282,000 for basic recreation facilities, and $260,000 non-Federal costs for lands and damages including relocations for downstream levee and channel improvements. In addition, local interests must reimburse the Federal Government the por- tion of the first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of project. These costs are currently estimated at 27 percent of first cost and 21.2 per- cent of annual costs. Local interests have also, over a period of years, expended approximately $300,000 for construction of low levees and clearing of downstream channels to provide some local flood protection in the project area. This work is inadequate during major floods. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (See S. Doc. 37, 87th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. State of California officially adopted proj- ect by chapter 1202 of statutes of 1963, and by chapter 1438 of those statutes authorized State Reclamation Board to furnish assurances that local cooperation requirements for the supple- mental channel improvements will be met. With respect to the dam and reservoir, local interests, repre- sented by the Madera Irrigation District, must reimburse the Federal Government the portion of first cost and annual opera- tion and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of the project. These costs are currently estimated at 27 percent of the first cost and 21.2 percent of annual costs. Project author- ization provides for project to be financially integrated into the Central Valley project of the Bureau of Reclamation. Rep- resentatives of Bureau and Madera Irrigation District discussed contractual arrangements to be made for reimbursement of costs allocated to conservation functions. Local interests sponsoring any permanent pool in the reservoir for fish and wildlife or recreation must settle all claims for water rights pertaining to establishment and use of a permanent pool for these purposes. With respect to supplemental channel improvement work, sec- tion 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies; relocations include relocation of highway facilities. In addition, local in- terests must preserve, or restore and thereafter maintain, the Fresno River channel from Hidden Reservoir downstream to the authorized channel work at the capacities prevailing in 1959. State Reclamation Board, by letter dated December 13, 1963, stated that it will furnish required assurances when formally requested to do so. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Funds were allotted in January 1964 to permit initiation of advance planning on project. Engineering studies were initiated per- taining to preparation of design memoranda for hydrology, pre- FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1395 liminary master plan, and general design memorandum. Con- tract work and applicable contract costs were accomplished as follows: Foundation and spillway explorations, $2,250; topo- graphic mapping of damsite, $6,265; and surveys of reservoir area, $6,260. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 9 percent complete. Cost and financial statement Total to year................

ISABELLA RESERVOIR, KERN RIVER, CALIF. Location. About 50 miles northeast of city of Bakersfield, Calif., near confluence of North and South Forks of Kern River; auxiliary dam is about one-half mile east of main dam. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of area.) Existing project. Improvement is a unit in comprehensive plan for flood control and other related purposes for Sacramento- San Joaquin Basins. Project consists of a 185-foot-high earth- fill structure, an ungated concrete spillway in left abutment with a discharge capacity of 53,000 cubic feet per second, and a 100- foot-high earthfill auxiliary dam, creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 570,000 acre-feet, for flood control, irrigation, and related purposes. Outlet facilities for Borel Power Canal are included in auxiliary dam. Latest estimated Federal cost for new work (July 1964) is $21,956,000, including $11,600 for recreation facilities. Local interests must reimburse the Federal Government the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allo- cated to conservation functions of project. These costs are $4,573,000 of first cost and 21.7 percent of annual costs. Latest estimated Federal cost of recreational facilities for Isabella Reservoir, to be funded from Code 710 appropriations for "Recreation Facilities at Completed Projects," is $1,560,000 (July 1964), exclusive of recreation facilities previously pro- vided by regular funds above. Operation and maintenance of dam and reservoir is responsi- bility of Federal Government. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 513, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. State of California officially adopted proj- ect by Chapter 1514 of Statutes of 1945, State of California. Local interests, represented by North Kern, Buena Vista, and Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage Districts and La Hacienda Water District, are required to reimburse the Federal Govern- ment the portion of first cost and annual operation and main- 1896 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 tenance costs allocated to conservation functions of project. These costs are $4,573,000 of first cost and 21.7 percent of annual costs. Sacramento District was advised in December 1963 that Assistant Secretary of the Interior approved a draft of proposed contract for repayment of irrigation allocation of the project. In accordance with an agreement reached between the Secretary of the Interior and local interests, as soon as the contract is agreed upon it will be tested in court to determine whether it is in conformance with provisions of reclamation laws. Bureau expects such action to be accomplished in calendar year 1964. While negotiations are continuing between the Bureau of Rec- lamation and local water users for long-term repayment con- tract for conservation functions, water users are being furnished irrigation supply under an interim contract with the Bureau. Under provisions of this interim contract, local interests paid $1,759,122 through December 31, 1963. In accordance with Federal Power Commission Docket No. E-6578, issued April 1, 1963, payment of $377,426 was made to the Federal Government by Pacific Gas and Electric Co. ($108,- 352) and Southern California Edison Co. ($269,074) for head- water benefits to downstream existing plants from Isabella Dam to cover benefits from April 15, 1954, to December 31, 1962. Such funds were collected by the Commission for deposit in the Treasury. Kern County had undertaken administration of recreation and development and maintenance of public use areas at project for use of public in accordance with a 25-year license February 15, 1955. As a result of. Federal policy prohibiting charges for use of basic recreational facilities under provision of existing license, the agreement with Kern County is being revised. Agree- ment will provide for joint operation and development by the Corps of Engineers and Kern County. Permits have been granted to concessionaires by the county to provide certain services not rendered by the county. Total cost of present recreation facilities developed by the county and its concessionaires is about $1 million; $235,000 of this was a grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board and ap- proximately $340,000 is investment by concessionaires. This investment provided partial development of 21 recreational sites around the reservoir. Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Regular funds, minor engineering studies were accomplished by hired labor. Code 710 funds, engineering studies relative to preparation of design memorandum for development of supplemental rec- reation facilities were accomplished by hired labor. Construction of a road loop, parking turnouts, and 25 campsites in Campground No. 6 was accomplished by hired labor and rented equipment at a fiscal year cost of $21,327. Construction of additional facili- ties at Campground No. 6 was initiated by contract at a fiscal year cost of $7,327. Maintenance: Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1397 Structures were maintained in a serviceable condition. No major repairs or replacements of flood control or irrigation equipment were required. Runoff of Kern River above Isabella Reservoir was below normal for the year. Maximum storage occurred July 1, 1963, and amounted to 369,000 acre-feet, of which 361,000 acre-feet was irrigation water and 8,000 acre-feet was stored for recrea- tion. Release of water for irrigation use totaled 608,000 acre- feet, of which 278,000 acre-feet was released through Borel Canal and 330,000 acre-feet was released through Kern River outlets. No releases for flood control were necessary. No inflows occurred which without Isabella Reservoir would have exceeded downstream channel capacities. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in March 1948; project is 99 percent complete. Construction of main dam and Borel Canal outlet works and appurtenances and completion of auxiliary dam was completed in April 1953. Storage impoundment commenced December 1952. Project is operating to provide flood protection and conservation benefits for which it was designed. Items remaining to complete project consist of completion of radio-transmitting snow gages and associated relay stations (hydrologic facilities required for efficient operation of project during snowmelt periods) and completion of final real estate audit and final real estate project map. Gages and relay stations are being installed at remote sites at high elevations in water- shed.

KAWEAH AND TULE RIVERS, INCLUDING TERMINUS AND SUCCESS RESERVOIRS, CALIF. Location. Terminus Reservoir is on Kaweah River about 20 miles east of Visalia, Calif. Success Reservoir is on Tule River about 5 miles east of Porterville, Calif. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of area.) Existing project. Terminus Reservoir: A rolled earthfill and rock shell main dam structure 250 feet high and 2,375 feet long, an auxiliary earthfill dam 130 feet high and 870 feet long, and an ungated spillway in left abutment of dam. Reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 150,000 acre-feet. Spreading facilities of capacity contemplated in authorizing document, comprising a complex system of channels, basins, and other irrigation facilities, have been constructed by local interests since preparation of 1398 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 survey report. Such spreading development is fully adequate for project purposes. Success Reservoir: A rolled earthfill main dam structure 142 feet high and 3,490 feet long, an auxiliary rolled-earthfill dam or dike 42 feet high and 7,650 feet long across Frazier Valley about 31/2 miles northwesterly from main dam, and an ungated spillway. Reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 80,000 acre- feet. • Latest estimated Federal cost (July 1964) of new work for Terminus Reservoir is $19,410,000, including $207,000 for basic recreation facilities. In addition, spreading works contemplated for Terminus Reservoir were constructed by local interests at an estimated (July 1957) cost of about $750,000. Latest estimated Federal cost (July 1964) of new work for Success Reservoir is $14,234,000, including $193,000 for basic recreation facilities. Local interests must reimburse the Federal Government the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of project. These costs are currently estimated at 14.1 percent of first cost and annual costs for Terminus Reservoir and 9.5 percent for Success Reservoir. Federal construction of spreading facilities for Terminus Res- ervoir is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing Fed- eral cost estimate. Estimated cost of this project unit, revised July 1957, was $750,000 for construction. Latest estimated (July 1964) Federal cost of recreational facilities, to be funded from Code 710 appropriations for "Rec- reation Facilities at Completed Projects", are $633,000 for Ter- minus Reservoir and $507,000 for Success Reservoir. Operation and maintenance of reservoirs is responsibility of Federal Government. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. This act authorized $4,600,000 for initiation and partial accomplishment of construction of Success and Terminus Reservoirs. Additional monetary authorization for completion of this comprehensive plan was provided by Public Law 85-500 (see House Flood Control Committee Doc. 1, 78th Cong., 2d sess., and H. Doc. 559, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map.) Lake formed by Terminus Dam on Kaweah River was designated "Lake Kaweah" by Public Law 87-568. Local cooperation. State of California officially adopted proj- ects by Chapter 1514 of Statutes of 1945, State of California. Local interests for Terminus Reservoir are represented by Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District. Local interests for Success Reservoir are considered to be represented by the Vandalia, Porterville, and Lower Tule River Irrigation Districts, the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Pioneer Water Co., which represent over 90 percent of irrigated land and water- right holders along Tule River below damsite. Local interests must reimburse the Federal Government the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to con- servation functions of projects. These costs are currently esti- FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1399 mated at 14.1 percent of the first and annual costs for Terminus Reservoir and 9.5 percent of the first and annual costs for Success Reservoir. Local interests for Terminus Reservoir also stated they will continue to operate and maintain spreading works and downstream channel systems to provide required capacity for disposal of flood waters. Local interests for Success Reservoir also stated they will continue to maintain downstream channel systems to provide required capacity for disposal of flood waters. Negotiations are continuing between Bureau of Reclamation and local water users for long-term repayment contracts for the conservation functions of Terminus and Success Reservoirs. Res- ervoirs are being operated for irrigation storage as well as flood control and incidental recreation use. Tulare County ac- quired water for recreation pools at the projects. Consummation of long-term irrigation repayment contracts will probably be de- ferred until a decision is reached on terms of repayment con- tracts for Isabella (Improvement No. 14) and Pine Flat (Im- provement No. 23) Reservoirs. Local water users are being furnished irrigation supply under interim contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation. Under provisions of these interim con- tracts, local interests paid the following total amounts for irriga- tion services through December 31, 1963: Terminus Reservoir, $133,353 and Success Reservoir, $77,743. Tulare County was granted a 25-year license for planning, development, and management of public recreational areas at Success Reservoir July 10, 1960, and at Terminus Reservoir, June 5, 1961. Basic public-use facilities constructed by Corps at Success Reservoir were transferred to jurisdiction of Tulare County on January 18, 1962; facilities at Terminus were trans- ferred June 20, 1962. As a result of Federal policy prohibiting charges for use of basic recreational facilities under provisions of existing license agreements, Tulare County by letter July 17, 1963, gave official notice that effective June 30, 1964, the county would terminate the licenses. Meetings were held with county representatives to discuss possible plans of joint development and operations of recreational facilities at the projects. Tulare County letter dated February 17, 1964, and subsequent discussions with Sacramento District Engineer indicate that the county will retain the licenses for at least an additional year. California Department of Fish and Game expended funds to improve fishery resources of Terminus Reservoir. Tulare County, by expenditure of county funds and by a lease to a concessionaire, has partially developed five recreational sites around the reser- voir. Estimated cost of facilities installed by the county is $95,000. California Departmeht of Fish and Game expended funds to improve fishery resources of Success Reservoir, and, in conjunc- tion with Tulare Sportsman's Council, developed area 6 to provide habitat for upland game birds. County of Tulare, by expenditure of county funds, by leases to concessionaires, and with assistance from California Department of Fish and Game and Tulare 1400 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

(c) Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: On lower reaches of San Joaquin River and of Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of area.) Existing project. Tuolumne River Basin: A Federal contri- bution for flood protection to be afforded by local interests' con- struction and operation of Cherry Valley and New Don Pedro Reservoirs for municipal water supply, power generation, irriga- tion, and flood control. Ultimately the flood protection will be derived from operation for flood control of at least 340,000 acre- feet of storage in New Don Pedro Reservoir. First phase of development by local interests was construction, for municipal water supply, power generation, and other purposes, of Cherry Valley Reservoir in upper Tuolumne River watershed. Dam is a composite earth and rock embankment 315 feet high and about 2,500 feet long, which creates a reservoir with a capacity of 268,000 acre-feet below spillway crest. Second phase of develop- ment will be construction of New Don Pedro Dam on Tuolumne River.

Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Levee and channel improvements, for flood control, along San Joaquin River from mouth of Merced River to San Joaquin Delta near Stockton, and on lower reaches of Stanislaus and Tuolumne Rivers by raising and strengthening existing levees; construction of new levees; revetment of river banks where required; removal of accumulated snags in main river channel; and acquisition, by local interests, of flowage rights on natural overflow lands where necessary to insure continued effectiveness of channel storage on San Joaquin River. Project was subsequently modified to permit local interests to construct levees and channel improve- ments upstream from Merced River, where required in lieu of acquiring flowage easements. This project is an integral unit of overall plan for flood control and other purposes on San Joaquin River and tributaries and supplements reservoir units of over- all plan involving flood control storage on Tuolumne and Stanis- laus Rivers and in existing Friant Reservoir on upper San Joa- quin River, by providing required channel capacity for regulated flows. Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) for existing project is $16,300,000, of which $12,450,000 are Federal costs and $3,850,000 non-Federal costs for lands and damages including relocations. In addition, local interests are constructing levee and channel improvement works in area adjacent to the river above mouth Merced River in lieu of acquisition of flowage easements. Cost of this work is estimated (March 1964) at $22,800,000. Left bank levee in Tuolumne River to Merced River reach is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of this project unit, revised July 1960, was $300,- 000 for construction. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944 (see H. Flood Control Committee Doc. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map); as modified by Public Law 327, 84th Congress, 1st session, and Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (See H. Doc. 453, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) The 1944 Flood Control Act authorized $8 million for partial accomplishment of project. Further monetary authorizations of $2,500,000, $5 million, and $13 million were provided for this project by Public Laws 235, 83d Congress, 1st session; 780 83d Congress, 2d session; and 85-500, making a total monetary au- thorization of $28,500,000 available. Local cooperation. Tuolumne River Basin: In consideration of a Federal contribution toward first costs of construction, local interests must construct, maintain, and operate New Don Pedro Reservoir allocating 340,000 acre-feet of storage space therein for flood control, and operate such flood control reserva- tion as prescribed by Secretary of the Army. A contract was negotiated in 1949 with local interests, comprising city and FLOOD CONTROL-SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1403 County of San Francisco and Turlock and Modesto Irrigation Districts, whereby they agreed to provide the above flood control storage in New Don Pedro Reservoir when constructed in ex- change for Federal contribution. Construction of Cherry Valley Reservoir, and provision of interim flood control storage therein as well as in existing Don Pedro and Hetch Hetchy Reservoirs, has provided approximately 75 percent of flood control require- ments for overall development, and Federal payments totaling $9 million have been made to local interests for this first phase. Second and final phase consists of construction of New Don Pedro Reservoir, operation of the flood control reservation in that res- ervoir, and cessation of operation of upstream reservoirs for flood control. Local interests are proceeding with planning for construction of New Don Pedro Reservoir; bond issues for proj- ect received overwhelming approval of voters in elections held in November 1961 in Modesto, Turlock, and San Francisco. Local interests expect to initiate work on access roads, diversion tunnel and power facilities in calendar year 1964. Delay in initiation of construction from calendar year 1962 as previously scheduled is due to fact that Federal Power Commission granted State Fish and Game Department a right to intervene in irrigation district's application for power license. FPC issued an opinion and order issuing license March 10, 1964; application for re- hearing was filed April 9, 1964. On May 6, 1964, FPC issued an order modifying opinion of March 10, 1964, and denjing applications for rehearing. This order concludes FPC action with respect to the project license. Current schedules call for project completion late in calendar year 1967. Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Assurances were accepted by District Engineer January 6,1956. Local interests have fully complied with requirements for all Federal work com- pleted or under contract, and indicated they will be able to fulfill local cooperation requirements for remaining work as scheduled. Expenditures by local interests toward fulfillment of these requirements through December 31, 1963, were about $2,306,000. State revised their plan to include a bypass in lieu of im- provement of existing levees along upper river reaches, thereby resulting in elimination of about 175 miles of levee construction along main San Joaquin River. Entire State project will in- clude construction of approximately 200 miles of levees, along with 18 major bridges and 7 control structures. Work will ex- tend along San Joaquin River from mouth of Merced River up- stream to approximately 45 miles below Friant Dam near Fresno. State and other local interests expended about $10,818,000 as of December 31, 1963, toward above construction, comprising $2,755,000 for rights-of-way and relocations; $7,363,000 for de- sign and construction; and $700,000 which has been expended by other local interests for prior construction. Since 1959, State has completed contracts for about 80 miles of new levees including appurtenant features and 80 miles of surfacing on existing levees on non-Federal portion of project 1404 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 above mouth of Merced River. Additional contracts were awarded in July 1963 and January 1964 for 23 and 24 miles of levees and appurtenant works at estimated costs of $1,800,000 and $2,100,- 000, respectively. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Tuo- lumne River Basin: Contacts with local interests and minor engineering studies for coordination of planning activities ac- complished by hired labor. Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Contract initiated in fiscal year 1962 for levee construction from Walthall Slough to north line of Reclamation District 2075, including Wetherbee Lake improvement, involving a pumping plant and navigation structure for recreation craft, was completed at fiscal year cost of $30,525. Contract initiated in fiscal year 1963 for completion phase of bank protection along Old River, both banks to Paradise Cut, was completed at fiscal year cost of $477,304. Condition at end of fiscal year. Tuolumne River Basin: Cherry Valley Reservoir-initial Federal contribution toward construction of reservoir and provision of interim flood control storage was made in 1950; total contribution to local interests was $9 million. New Don Pedro Reservoir-cost allocation stud- ies have been completed; coordination with local interests on planning activities is being maintained. Local interests expect to initiate construction in calendar year 1964. Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries: Construction was initiated in July 1956; project is about 68 percent complete. Work remaining is completion of construction along San Joaquin River, Old River to Stanislaus River reach and initiation and completion along San Joaquin River, Stanislaus River to Tuo- lumne River reach. State of California construction on non-Federal protion of proj- ect above mouth of Merced River, initiated late in fiscal year 1960, is currently underway.

FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1405 17. MARTIS CREEK RESERVOIR, MARTIS CREEK, NEV. AND CALIF. Location. Reservoir would be on Martis Creek, a tributary of Truckee River, near Truckee, Calif.; intermittent channel im- provements would be on Truckee River in Reno, Nev. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles for areas.) Existing project. Provides for construction of a 100-foot high rolled-earthfill dam to create a reservoir with gross storage capac- ity of 15,000 acre-feet, exclusively for flood control. In conjunc- tion with the dam the project provides for construction by local interests of intermittent channel improvements in Reno, Nev., necessary to provide a flood-carrying capacity of 14,000 cubic feet per second through the city. Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) for existing project is $3,130,000, of which $3,050,000 are Federal costs and $80,000 non-Federal costs for channel improvement in Reno, Nev. In addition, local interests have, over a period of years, expended approximately $200,000 for construction of flood control channels within city of Reno. This work is inadequate during major floods. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of Oc- tober 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 435, 87th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must provide a channel capacity of 14,000 cubic feet per second in Truckee River through Reno, Nev., including necessary modification and relocations of existing structures and facilities. In addition, local interests must maintain channel after completion as required to preserve chan- nel capacity of 14,000 cubic feet per second; establish effective regulations to prevent any encroachment within channel in Reno, and to insure that all bridges or other structures to be built or rebuilt across channel in Reno afford an adequate and unre- stricted waterway; maintain channel of Truckee River between Reno and the California-Nevada State line clear of all floatable debris and other drift large enough to restrict bridge openings in Reno during floods; and adequately inform interests affected that project (reservoir and related channel improvements) does not provide protection against maximum floods. Carson-Truckee Water Conservancy District by resolution De- cember 23, 1959, indicated willingness to furnish, or make ar- rangements to furnish, required assurances of local cooperation. City of Reno, Nev., by resolution January 25, 1960, indicated its willingness to cooperate with Conservancy District to fullest extent possible. Formal assurances have not been requested from local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Funds were allotted in January 1964 to permit initiation of advance planning on the project. Engineering studies were initiated per- taining to preparation of design memoranda for hydrology and general design. Surveys and explorations, delayed due to heavy snow at the damsite, were initiated in June 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 19 percent complete. 1406 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

MERCED RIVER, CALIF. Location. A tributary of San Joaquin River, northeast of town of Merced, Calif. (See U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps of the area.) Existing project. Federal interest in development is in flood protection to be afforded by multiple-purpose New Exchequer Reservoir, to be constructed on Merced River about 23 miles northeast of city of Merced by Merced Irrigation District of California as a part of a three-reservoir multiple-purpose project. Project provides for enlargement of Exchequer Reservoir from existing 281,000 acre feet for irrigation and power to 1,010,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, power, and recreation uses. Dam is on Merced River about 62 river miles above the mouth. New Exchequer Dam will be rockfill incorporating existing con- crete structure at its upstream side. Powerplant at dam will have installed capacity of 80,000 kilowatts with provision for future enlargement to 125,000 kilowatts. Afterbay dam with capacity of about 8,750 acre-feet will be provided about 6 miles down- stream. Recreation facilities will be provided at both New Exche- quer Reservoir and at the afterbay. Afterbay powerplant will have capacity of 7,000 kilowatts. Federal Government will con- tribute toward construction costs of New Exchequer Dam and Reservoir only, exclusive of recreation and power generating facilities, in recognition of flood control accomplishments to be provided. Ultimate Merced Irrigation District project will include con- 1408 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 struction of Bagby Reservoir (415,000 acre-feet) about 16 miles upstream from Exchequer Dam and Snelling Reservoir (190,000 acre-feet) about 10 miles downstream from Exchequer Dam and operation of the three reservoirs as a coordinated unit by Merced Irrigation District. Flood control operation of New Exchequer Reservoir will control flows to downstream channel capacity (6,000 cubic feet per second) and will require maximum flood control space of 400,000 acre-feet. Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) for existing project are $42,320,000, of which $9,780,000 are Federal costs, compris- ing $9,480,000 direct Federal contribution to local interests and $300,000 incidental Federal costs for engineering and adminis- tration of funds. Amount is based upon cost allocation studies approved by the President of the United States April 27, 1964. Total Federal contribution is based on 37.6 percent of actual construction cost of New Exchequer Dam and Reservoir, includ- ing all necessary relocations, but exclusive of cost of power and recreation facilities; however, the Federal contribution is limited to $19,400,000. Non-Federal costs included in the above amount are $32,540,- 000, comprising $15,750,000 for construction of New Exchequer Dam and Reservoir exclusive of above Federal contribution and power and recreation facilities and $16,790,000 for Exchequer afterbay, and recreation and power facilities. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of July 14, 1960, which provided that, unless construction of development is undertaken within 4 years from date of enactment of author- ization, authority for monetary contribution therein shall expire. Local cooperation. In consideration of a Federal contribution toward first cost of New Exchequer Reservoir, a formal agree- ment, based upon cost allocation studies approved by the Presi- dent of the United States April 27, 1964, was consummated with Merced Irrigation District April 28, 1964, and forwarded to Chief of Engineers, May 11, 1964, for approval of the Department of the Army. Agreement provides for operation of New Exchequer Reservoir in such manner as will provide 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 of California adopted the Merced Irrigation District plan. Irrigation District was issued a Federal Power Commission permit (Project 2179) for project. State Water Rights Board approved Irrigation District application for water rights neces- sary for operation of project by decision D979 in August 1960. A revenue bond issue of $130 million was approved by voters in June 1961 to finance construction of a project. Initial sale of bonds is scheduled for July 15, 1964. Federal Power Commission issued a license effective March 1, 1964 (Project 2179), to Irri- gation District for construction, operation, and maintenance of a single reservoir plan of development (New Exchequer Dam and afterbay including recreation as a project feature). Local inter- ests initiated minor construction in June 1964 on access road and FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1409 clearing, using Irrigation District funds currently available.

(See U.S. Geological Survey Sheet, Stockton quad- rangle.) Existing project. Provides for improvement of Calaveras River System, between town of Bellota and city of Stockton, for flood control purposes. Improvements would consist of minor channel enlargement of Calaveras River and Mormon Slough below Bellota, substantial channel enlargement of Diverting Canal and that reach of Mormon Slough immediately above Di- verting Canal, and a new levee along north bank of Diverting Canal. Plan provides for about 10.5 miles of new or reconstructed levees, 19 miles of existing levees, 12.5 miles of channel enlarge- ment, and 26 miles of channel clearing. Project will be coordinated with flood control operation of New Hogan Reservoir (see Sacra- mento District Improvement No. 10). Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) is $3,750,000, of which $2,110,000 are Federal costs and $1,640,000 non-Federal costs for lands and damages including relocations except for rail- road facilities which are a Federal responsibility. In addition, local interests expended approximately $200,000 for construction of low levees in intermittent reaches along Mormon Slough, the diverting canal, and Calaveras River to provide some local flood protection. This protection is inadequate during major floods. Improvement was adopted by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962 (H. Doc. 576, 87th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way, including spoil-disposal areas for construction; accomplish all relocations and alterations of roads, bridges, util- ities, and other structures (except railroad facilities); hold the United States free from damages; maintain and operate works after completion, including lower Calaveras River; and prescribe and enforce regulations designed to prevent encroachment of any type that would impair flood control effectiveness of work. State of California officially adopted project by chapter 915 of stat- utes of 1963, and by chapter 1438 of those statutes authorized the State Reclamation Board to furnish the required assurances of local cooperation. Board by letter dated December 13, 1963, FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1411 stated that it will furnish required assurances when formally requested to do so. Operations and results during fiscal year. Initial preconstruc- tion planning funds were provided in January 1964. Topographic surveys were initiated by contract in May 1964; Fiscal year cost for these surveys was $21,402. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was initiated during fiscal year.

OROVILLE RESERVOIR, FEATHER RIVER, CALIF. Location. Dam is on Feather River, a tributary of Sacra- mento River in Butte County, Calif., about 4 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 contri- bution toward first cost of Oroville Reservoir project, exclusive of cost of power facilities, in an amount commensurate with flood control benefits to be attained. Construction of improvement will inundate Bidwell Bar damsite, which dam was proposed as a Federal flood control project in House Document 367, 81st Con- gress, 1st session. In that document the Chief of Engineers rec- ommended authorization of a reservoir with storage capacity of 1,200,000 acre-feet at Bidwell Bar site on Feather River or stor- age at a suitable alternate site. 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 opera- tion of Oroville Reservoir. Oroville Reservoir is a multiple-purpose storage reservoir for municipal and industrial water supply, power generation, irriga- tion, flood control and other purposes. The dam will be a 742- foot high earth and rockfill structure with a total crest length of 6,850 feet, creating a reservoir with a capacity of about 3,500,000 acre-feet. Included in improvement are power-generating facil- ities of 600,000 kilowatts capacity. Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) is $299,819,000 (exclusive of power facilities), of which $66 million is Federal contribution toward new work, exclusive of $375,000 incidental Federal costs for engineering and administration of funds in con- nection 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 construc- tion cost exclusive of cost of power and recreational facilities; however, the Federal cost is limited to $85 million including actual Federal cost for engineering and administration of funds 1412 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 and interest at 31/2 percent per annum on actual Federal expendi- tures during construction period. Non-Federal cost included in the above project amount is $233,444,000, for construction of dam and reservoir. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958. Local cooperation. In consideration of a Federal contribution toward first cost of Oroville Reservoir, a formal agreement per- taining to flood control operations of project, based upon cost- allocation studies completed in fiscal year 1961, was consummated with the State on March 8, 1962, and approved by Secretary of Army, April 19, 1962. State legislature appropriated $9 million during 1956 for advance planning on project. Initiation of relo- cations 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 operations were initiated January 25, 1963. First stage of construction of Oroville Dam powerplant was awarded during 1963. As of June 30, 1964, the State expenditures allocable to flood control were about $141,200,000 for advance planning, relocation of highways and railroad facilities, acquisition of real estate, and construction of the dam and appurtenances. On February 18, 1964, the State sold the first block of general obligation bonds in amount of $100 million; the bonds will bear an average interest rate of about 3.52 percent. On May 5, 1964, the State sold the second group of general obligation bonds in amount of $50 million; these bonds will bear an interest rate of 3.53 percent. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering con- tinued. Federal contribution of $4,500,000 was made to State February 26, 1964. State is proceeding with construction of Oroville Dam as initial project of California Water Plan. Condition at end of fiscal year. Final cost allocation and formal contract for payment for flood control storage have been approved by Secretary of the Army. State of California is con- tinuing construction of the project. Project is about 35 percent complete, including power facilities. As of June 30, 1964, total Federal contribution of $18,450,000 has been made to the State.

PINE FLAT RESERVOIR AND KINGS RIVER, CALIF. Location. Reservoir is on Kings River, about 25 miles east of Fresno, Calif., and channel improvements are on Kings River downstream from Lemoore weir, about 25 miles south of Fresno. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of area.) Existing project. Improvement is a unit in comprehensive plan for flood control and other related purposes for Sacramento- San Joaquin Basins. Project consists of a 429-foot-high concrete gravity dam, including a gated overflow section with a maximum discharge capacity of 391,000 cubic feet per second, creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1 million acre-feet, for flood control, irrigation, and related purposes. Outlet provisions for future power development are included in dam, but Federal con- struction of power-generating facilities is not authorized. Im- provement also includes a limited amount of channel improvement on Kings River and its distributaries on valley floor about 25 miles south of Fresno. Channel improvement work will enlarge channel capacities and regulate flows in lower branches of the Kings River. There are seven public-use and recreation areas: one main- tained by Corps of Engineers, two by U.S. Forest Service, three jointly by the corps and concession, and one by Fresno County. Latest approved cost estimate (July 1964) is $40,775,000, of which $40.450,000 are Federal costs (including $10,000 for basic recreation facilities) and $325,000 non-Federal costs for rights- of-way for downstream channel improvements. In addition, local interests must reimburse the Federal Government for the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allo- cated to conservation functions of project. Under provision of War Department Civil Appropriation Act of 1947, the Secretary of War, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Interior, deter- mined the allocation of cost to irrigation should be set at an amount not to exceed $14,250,000. In addition, local interests must pay 37.4 percent of annual maintenance, operation and re- placement costs of dam and reservoir allocated to the irrigation functions. Latest estimated Federal cost of recreational facilities for Pine Flat Reservoir, to be funded from Code 710 appropriations is $776,000, (July 1964) exclusive of recreation facilities previously provided at a cost of $10,000. In addition, Federal cost of recrea- tional facilities for Pine Flat Reservoir, funded from public works acceleration, executive, act of 1962 appropriations, was $239,235 (July 1963), exclusive of recreation facilities provided from regular project and Code 710 funds. Operation and maintenance of dam and reservoir is responsi- bility of the Federal Government. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of Decem- ber 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 630, 76th Cong., 3d sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. Local interests must reimburse the Federal Government for first costs allocated to irrigation functions of reservoir portion of project in accordance with Reclamation Law. 1414 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Under provision of War Department Civil Appropriations Act of 1947, the Secretary of War, with concurrence of Secretary of the Interior, determined allocation of cost to irrigation should be set at an amount not to exceed $14,250,000. In addition, local inter- ests must pay 37.4 percent of annual maintenance, operation, and replacement costs of dam and reservoir allocated to irrigation functions. Repayment contracts between Bureau of Reclamation and the local water users for the irrigation use of the reservoir were executed December 23, 1963. Bureau will administer the con- tracts in accordance with reclamation law; however, local inter- ests will probably test in court the validity of reclamation law in regard to the Pine Flat contracts. Prior to execution of the final contracts, the Bureau provided conservation water to local interests under an interim contract. Under provisions of this interim contract, irrigation interests paid a total of $7,312,891 for irrigation services through Decem- ber 31, 1963. In addition, provision for storage of power water, under a Department of Army contract with Pacific Gas & Elec- tric Co., has earned $1,378,426 for such storage through Decem- ber 31, 1963. With respect to the downstream channel improvements, sec- tion 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies. Kings River Conservation District represents local interests; assurances were accepted November 20, 1959. Local interests furnished about 50 percent of rights-of-way to date. Three concessionaires (one each at Deer Creek, Lombardo's Fishing Village and Trimmer area) provided public use facilities in accordance with lease agreements with Secretary of the Army. Estimated cost of facilities installed by these concessionaires is $135,000. Fresno County developed public-use facilities on an 85-acre tract immediately downstream from dam for picnicking, camp- ing, swimming, and playground activities, at an estimated cost of $20,000, under provisions of a license agreement. U.S. Forest Service operates a camp ground at upper end of reservoir and at two sites along reservoir perimeter at Sycamore Creek site. Total cost of development of these two sites is about $36,500. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Regular funds, minor engineering and instrumentation studies were ac- complished by hired labor. Code 710 funds, installation of a water system in recreation area below the dam and provision of a pump and pressure tank for the garbage barge was accomplished by hired labor. Public Works Acceleration Act of 1962 funds, construction of additional recreational facilities at Deer Creek, Island Park, Trimmer, and Lombardo recreation areas and five boat-access areas on south shore of reservoir accomplished by hired labor and contract. Maintenance: Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. FLOOD CONTROL---SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1415 Structures were maintained in a serviceable condition. No major repairs or replacements of flood control or irrigation equipment were required. Runoff of Kings River above Pine Flat was below normal for year. Maximum storage in reservoir occurred July 1, 1963, and amounted to 923,000 acre-feet, all of which was irrigation water. Release of water for irrigation use totaled 1,433,000 acre-feet. No flood control releases were necessary. No reservoir inflow ex- ceeding downstream channel capacity occurred. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in April 1947; project is about 97 percent complete. Construction of main dam was initiated in January 1950 and completed in June 1954. Dam has been operating since February 1954 to provide flood protection for which it was designed. There are seven public-use and recreation areas: Two main- tained by U.S. Forest Service, three by concession, one by Fresno County, and one by Corps of Engineers. Two launching ramps and associated parking areas are also maintained by the Corps. Recreation facilities at Deer Creek area, other than Code 710 fa- cilities at Deer Creek area, other than Code 710 facilities, were completed in June 1958 and comprised a parking area and turn- out on Deer Creek road. Initial improvement of Deer Creek Road with Code 710 funds, for boat-launching purposes, was completed in December 1959. Initial and secondary phase development of Island Park area were provided during fiscal years 1961 and 1962; these facilities comprised access road, parking areas, picnic facil- ities, water supply and sanitary facilities, and a boat-launching ramp. This construction was funded from Code 710 appropria- tions for "Recreation Facilities at Completed Projects." Addi- tional facilities were provided in fiscal years 1963-1964 under Public Works Acceleration Act of 1962 at Deer Creek, Island Park, Trimmer, and Lombardo recreation areas. Recreation fa- cilities to be provided from Code 710 appropriations are about 30 percent complete. Work remaining consists of installation of gages and communi- cation facilities for operation purposes, provision of channel im- provements, and completion of recreation facilities in connection with overall development of reservoir area. Radiotransmitting snow gages and associated relay station are required for efficient operation of the project during snowmelt periods. These gages will be installed at remote sites at high elevations in the watershed after snow gages now being developed by Walla Walla District have operated satisfactorily. Engineering and design is also re- quired in connection with above activities. 1416 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Cost and financial statement Total to year................

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIF., FROM COLLINSVILLE TO SHASTA DAM Location. Rises in Trinity Mountains in north-central Cali- fornia, flows generally southerly about 374 miles and empties into Suisun Bay, an arm of San Francisco Bay at Collinsville, Calif. Works covered by this improvement are on Sacramento River and tributaries from Collinsville to Shasta Dam, about mile 312. Drainage area above Rio Vista is 26,500 square miles. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of area for Sacramento River and upper Butte Basin; Fluornoy and Fruto quadrangles for Black Butte Reservoir; and Tuscan Buttes, Tehama, Redding, and Hooker quadrangles for Table Mountain Reservoir.) Existing project. Improvement of Sacramento River and trib- utaries, from Collinsville to Shasta Dam was authorized as a unit of a comprehensive plan for flood control and other related purposes in Sacramento River Basin. (a) Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries, for flood control purposes: (1) Enlargement of existing levees on Sacramento River between vicinity of Moulton weir and Ord Bend; (2) construction of new levees from present levee terminus to vicinity of Chico Landing; (3) construction of a weir in vicinity of Chico Landing, extension of Moulton weir, and con- struction of a bypass through Upper Butte Basin; (4) construc- tion of new levees in Lower Butte Basin; (5) enlargement of existing levees in Sutter, Tisdale, Sacramento, and Yolo Bypasses; and (6) levee construction and/or channel enlargement on follow- ing minor tributaries of Sacramento River: Antelope Creek; Chico and Mud Creeks and Sandy Gulch; Butte and Little Chico Creeks; Cherokee Canal; Elder Creek; Deer Creek (Tehama County); Thomes Creek; and Willow Creek. Improvement pro- vides for approximately 155 miles of channel improvement and about 294 miles of levees with an average height of 12 feet and a freeboard of 3 feet. Improvement also provides for revetment as required for protection of bypass levee slopes against erosion. Total first costs for project are $18 million (July 1964), of which $11,900,000 are Federal costs and $6,100,000 non-Federal costs for lands and damages, including relocations.

(b) Construction of approximately 33,000 feet of bank protec- tion and minor channel improvements as required on Sacramento River between Chico Landing and Red Bluff, for flood control purposes. Improvement also contemplates flood plain zoning be- tween Chico Landing and Keswick Dam to assure maintenance of present project floodway areas. Total first costs for project work in Tehama County, completed in March 1964, were $1,007,000, of which $915,000 were Federal costs and $92,000 non-Federal cost for lands and damages including relocations. Construction in Butte and Glenn Counties is considered in- active and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of this construction, revised in July 1963, was $1,175,000, of which $1,060,000 were Federal costs and $115,000 non-Federal cost for lands and damages including relocations. (c) Addition of approximately 430,000 linear feet of bank ero- sion control works and setback levees at critical locations existing at time of report or expected to develop in 10 years, within limits of authorized or existing levees included in Sacramento River flood control project, as initial phase of a long-range program to protect integrity of levee system, for flood control purposes. Total estimated (July 1964) first costs for this initial phase of project are $24,300,000, of which $16,200,000 are Federal costs and $8,100,000 non-Federal costs comprising $2,600,000 for lands and damages including relocations and $5,500,000 required cash con- tribution toward first cost. Construction in (a), (b), and (c) above supplements program of levee improvements which are being accomplished pursuant to Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917, as amended by subsequent acts, including Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941, and which are reported by California Debris Commission under Sacramento River, Calif., flood control. (d) Authorization also provides for Black Butte Reservoir by construction of an earthfill dam, with a maximum height of 140 feet, to create a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 160,000 acre-feet for flood control and irrigation and related conservation purposes. Improvement is in Tehama and Glenn Counties about 1418 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 9 miles westerly of Orland, Calif., on Stony Creek, a tributary entering Sacramento River at mile 190. Total estimated (July 1964) Federal first costs for project are $14,935,000, including $455,000 for basic recreational facilities. Local interests must pay the portion of first cost and annual operation and mainte- nance costs allocated to conservation functions of the project. These costs are currently estimated at 39.9 percent of first cost and 40.2 percent of annual costs. (e) Authorization also provided for construction of Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Reservoir, an earthfill dam, with a max- imum height of 210 feet, to create a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 503,000 acre-feet, for flood control, water conserva- tion, and power generation. Reservoir would be on Sacramento River at about mile 250, about 3 miles north of Red Bluff, in Tehama and Shasta Counties, Calif. This project unit was reclas- sified and is considered in a deferred status. Estimated Federal cost of this unit, including power facility, revised in July 1954, was $77,200,000. Local interests would be required to pay the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation functions of the project. These costs have not been determined.

Local interests fully complied with requirements for all work completed or under contract, and indicated they will be able to fulfill local cooperation requirements for remaining work as scheduled. (b) Sacramento River, Chico Landing to Red Bluff: Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies; in addition, local interests must assume responsibility for flood-plain zoning. Fully complied with for portion completed in Tehama County. Flood FLOOD CONTROL--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1419 plain zoning ordinances were rejected by Butte County Board of Supervisors in July 1961 and by Glenn County residents in Sep- tember 1963. Accordingly, work in Butte and Glenn Counties has been reclassified inactive. (c) Sacramento River, Calif., bank protection: Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies. Local interests must also contribute an amount in cash that, when added to costs of lands and rights-of-way and utility modifications, equals one-third of cost of each unit of remedial work; this contribution is currently estimated (July 1964) at $5,500,000. Local interests fully com- plied with requirements for all work completed or under contract, and indicated they will be able to fulfill local cooperation require- ments for remaining work as scheduled. In addition, for reaches where local interests request bank stabilization in lieu of more feasible levee setbacks, local interests will contribute costs over and above costs of setbacks, and provide local contribution indi- cated above. (d) Black Butte Reservoir: None required for construction. Local interests must pay the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated to the conservation functions of the project; these costs are currently estimated at 39.9 percent of the first cost and 40.2 of annual costs. Contract between the Bureau of Reclamation and State of California for repayment of costs of conservation storage was executed March 2, 1960; the Bureau will administer the contract in accordance with Reclamation Law. (e) Table Mountain (Iron Canyon) Reservoir: None required for construction. Local interests must pay the portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance costs anocatea to conservation functions of the project; since the project is con- sidered in a deferred status these costs have not been determined. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: (a) Sacramento River and major and minor tributaries-Engineer- ing and design continued by hired labor. A continuing contract initiated for levee construction and channel improvement, Sacra- mento Avenue to high ground for completion of Chico and Mud Creeks and Sandy Gulch unit of improvement is 78 percent com- plete; contract costs during the fiscal year were $1,200,504, of which $1,116,607 were Federal costs and $83,897 contributed funds, other. In connection with this construction, a contract entered into with State of California provided for use of excess excavation from Chico and Mud Creeks and Sandy Gulch for freeway embankment through city of Chico; 90 percent of this embankment construction was accomplished by the Corps con- tractor at a fiscal year cost of $779,230 from funds provided by the State of California Highway Commission. The first increment of bypass levee revetment for the improve- ment was initiated under two continuing contracts. Construc- tion in Sutter and Yolo Bypasses, areas 1 and 3, is 65 percent complete; contract cost during the fiscal year was $18,600 Federal funds. Construction in Sutter and Yolo Bypasses, area 2, is 39 1420 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 percent complete; contract cost during the fiscal year was $14,793 Federal funds. Only minor floodflows occurred and damages prevented by the project were nominal. (b) Sacramento River, Chico Landing to Red Bluff-construc- tion of bank protection in Tehama County, initiated in fiscal year 1963, was completed in March 1964, contract costs during fiscal year were $810,436, of which $787,270 were Federal costs and $23,166 contributed funds, other. Work authorized in Butte and Glenn Counties was reclassified inactive in October 1963 because of opposition by local interests to requirements for establishment of flood plain zoning. Only minor floods occurred. (c) Sacramento River, Calif., bank protection-engineering and design, including preparation of plans and specifications continued by hired labor; fiscal year cost was $244,084, of which $144,776 were Federal costs and $99,308 contributed funds, other.

Fiscal year cost was $14,963 for Randolph Canyon, Placer County, Calif., project. 32. NEW MELONES RESERVOIR, CALIF. Location. On Stanislaus River about three-quarters mile downstream from existing Melones Dam and about 35 miles north east of city of Modesto. (See also Improvement No. 16 for Tuo- lumne River Basin and Lower San Joaquin River and tribu- taries.) (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) Existing project. Provides for construction of (a) a dam to create a reservoir with gross storage capacity of about 2,400,000 acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, power, general recreation, fish and wildlife, and other purposes, and (b) a powerplant below the dam with an installed capacity of 150,000 kilowatts. Upon completion of construction of dam and powerplant by the Corps of Engineers, the project shall become an integral part of Central Valley project and be operated and maintained by Secretary of Interior pursyant to Federal reclamation laws, except that the flood control operation of the project shall be in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by Secretary of the Army. Maintenance of the Stanislaus River channel from Goodwin Dam to San Joaquin River to a capacity of at least 8,000 cubic feet per second will also be responsibility of the Federal Government (Corps of Engineers). Latest approved estimated (July 1964) Federal cost is $122 million. Based on cost allocation studies, local interests would be required to pay portion of first cost (40.6 percent) and annual operation and maintenance costs (21.2 percent). Local interests would also be required to pay portion of first cost (42 percent) and annual operation and maintenance costs (69.8 percent) allo- MULTIPLE-PURPOSE PROJECTS--SACRAMENTO, CALIF., DISTRICT 1427 cated to power. In addition, local interests expended $300,000 for levees along lower reaches of Stanislaus River. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. (See H. Doc. 453, 87th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). This act modified original authorization adopted by Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944 (See H. Flood Control Committee Doc. 2, 78th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map), as modified by Public Law 327, 84th Con- gress, 1st session. The 1944 Flood Control Act authorized $8 million for partial accomplishment of project. Further monetary authorizations of $2,500,000, $5 million, and $13 million were provided by Public Laws 235, 83d Congress, 1st session; 780, 83d Congress, 2d session; and 85-500, making a total monetary authorization of $28,500,- 000 available for the basin plan comprising Lower San Joaquin River and tributaries, including Tuolumne and Stanislaus Rivers, Calif. Local cooperation. Based on preliminary cost allocation (H. Doc. 453, 87th Cong. 2d sess.), local interests would be required to pay 40.6 percent of first cost and 21.2 percent of annual op- eration and maintenance costs would be allocated to irrigation. In addition, 42 percent of first cost and 69.8 percent of annual cost would be allocated to power. Local interests must also main- tain existing private levees along Stanislaus River from Goodwin Dam to San Joaquin River and prevent encrachment on channel and floodway between levees so as to preserve safe carrying capac- ity throughout that reach of at least 8,000 cubic feet per second. Recovery of costs allocated to irrigation and power will be responsibility of Bureau of Reclamation. Reimbursement of costs will be in accordance with Bureau of Reclamation's policies and procedures for the Central Valley project. State of California officially adopted project by chapter 918 of statutes of 1963, and by chapter 1438 of those statutes authorized State Reclamation Board to furnish required assurances of local cooperation. The board by letter dated December 13, 1963, stated it will furnish required assurances when formally requested to do so. Operations and results during fiscal year. Funds were allotted in January 1964 for resumption of engineering and design. Planning was accomplished by hired labor, including surveys of the damsite, geologic mapping and reconnaissance of possible sources of concrete materials, completion of reservoir capacity design memorandum and initiation of other design memoranda. Condition at end of fiscal year. Planning work on this project was suspended in December 1957 due to depletion of funds al- lotted to project and to Senate Appropriations Committee deci- sion that no expenditure of fiscal year 1958 allocation would be made until project authorization had been modified to include power features. A special feasibility report on project was sub- mitted in 1957; review report, on which current authorization is based, was submitted in May 1961. Some of data obtained from field work accomplished for superseded project can be utilized 1428 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 on new project.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Engineer studies (hydrology): Recording stream gages and a dense network of recording and nonrecording rain gages were in operation in three small drainage basins, one each on islands of Oahu, Kauai, and Hawaii. Data were collected and analyzed to measure short duration rainfall and resulting runoff to determine infiltration losses and unit hydrograph characteristics that can be applied to the areas throughout the State of Hawaii. Storm studies: Compilation of hourly rainfall data and plot- ting of mass rainfall curves for specific severe storms over the Hawaiian Islands were initiated. Isohyetal maps were under preparation. Research and development activity costs for fiscal year were $22,929. NORTH PACIFIC DIVISION The Civil Works area of the North Pacific Division covers the States of Alaska and Washington, major parts of Oregon and Idaho and parts of Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Nevada. The division comprises a total of 860,000 square miles, of which 586,- 000 square miles are in Alaska, and 274,000 square miles are in the Pacific Northwest. The division comprises four districts: Alaska District, encompassing entire State of Alaska, with Dis- trict Office at Anchorage; Seattle District, comprised of Columbia River Basin upstream of head of McNary Reservoir (Lake Wal- lula) and coastal basins of Washington; Walla Walla District, comprised of Snake River basin and Columbia River drainage area between John Day lock and dam and head of McNary Reser- voir; and Portland District which includes remainder of the Columbia River drainage area downstream of John Day lock and dam and coastal basins of Oregon. Of the numerous river basins in Alaska, the Yukon River Basin is the largest in size and potential development. The Yukon has a total length of 1,875 miles, of which 1,267 miles lie in Alaska, a drainage area of 330,000 square miles and an average annual discharge of 216,000 cubic feet per second at its mouth. The basin is relatively undeveloped and only a minor amount of com- merce is transported on the river. Columbia River Basin is the major drainage basin of the Pa- cific Northwest portion of the division. From its source in Canada's Columbia Lake, the Columbia River flows 1,200 miles to the Pacific Ocean. It has a total drainage area of 259,000 square miles of which 39,500 square miles, or 15 percent, lies in British Columbia and the remaining 219,500 square miles are in the Pacific Northwest portion of the United States. Its major tributary, the Snake River, drains an area nearly equal to that of the Upper Columbia River above their confluence, but contrib- utes, in terms of runoff, less than 30 percent of the discharge below their confluence. Columbia River and its tributaries have the largest existing and potential hydroelectrical capacity of any stream system in the 48 contiguous States. Installed capacity of hydroelectric projects completed or under construction in Columbia basin and adjacent coastal streams amounts to 18,991,000 kilowatts, of which 9,643,000 kilowatts are in Federal projects. Of the Federal installations, 7,227,000 kilowatts are in Corps of Engineers projects and the remainder at Bureau of Reclamation projects. Corps projects include 10 completed multiple-purpose projects, 5 under construction and 4 in a planning status. Coastal harbors in Alaska and along Washington and Oregon are improved and maintained for deep draft ocean commerce at the natural deep water sites and for shallow ocean commerce at entrances of smaller tributary streams, including boat basins for protection of small craft. Only major inland waterway is the Columbia-Snake River system. Improvements for deep-draft 1443 1444 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 ocean commerce extend from Pacific Ocean to Portland, Oreg., and Vancouver, Wash., a distance of 110 miles. Improvements for barge navigation extend beyond this point to the mouth of the Snake River, an additional 220 miles. Completion of John Day lock and dam by 1968 will provide slackwater navigation for this distance utilizing the locks of four multiple-purpose projects. With completion of the four lower Snake River multiple-purpose projects slack-water navigation will be extended up the Snake River to Lewiston, Idaho, 465 miles inland. Flood Control protection is obtained from storage reservoirs, levee construction, bank protection and channel stabilization im- provements. It is estimated that with flood control storage now available from existing and under-construction projects plus Ca- nadian storage and storage from the Libby project that the maximum flow in Columbia River during spring runoff periods can be regulated to 750,000 cubic feet per second in comparison to maximum flow of record in 1894 of 1,240,000 cubic feet per second. Portland District performs all required hopper dredging work for North Pacific Division and South Pacific Division and certain work as requested by Pacific Ocean Division. The Divi- sion retains responsibility for accomplishment of all powerhouse design for multiple-purpose projects, which is performed by Hy- droelectric Design Branch of the Engineering Division. Control and regulation of flows in Columbia-Snake River system is accomplished by Water Control Branch, Engineering Division, North Pacific Division, by coordination with the many interests involved in such regulation. Water Control Branch also main- tains a hydraulic laboratory for building and testing numerous models required in planning and design of multiple-purpose proj- ects and other waterway developments. A Division materials laboratory is also operated for performance of all materials test- ing as required for the many projects within the four districts of the Division.

River and Harbor Act of 1962 provides that local interests furnish lands and rights-of-way for construc- tion and subsequent maintenance and aids to navigation upon request of Chief of Engineers, including suitable areas deter- mined by Chief of Engineers to be required in general interest for initial and subsequent disposal of spoil and necessary retain- ing dikes, bulkheads, and embankments therefor or costs of such retaining works; hold the United States free from damages; provide and maintain adequate public terminal and transfer facili- ties open to all on equal terms; make such alterations as are required in sewer, water supply, drainage, and other utility facilities for construction and maintenance of the project; assist in work of improving and maintaining main ship channel in Columbia and Willamette Rivers by loaning the United States a suitable pipeline dredge in good operating condition, with full crew and equipment, without charge other than reimbursement for full operating costs of dredge on a basis approved by Chief of Engineers, said operating costs to include proportionate main- tenance costs based on period of time dredge is in use for the United States; provide and maintain depths in berthing areas and access channels serving terminals, including 50-feet adjacent to pierhead lines, commensurate with depths provided in related project areas; and contribute in cash 1.8 percent of cost of construction of 40-foot channel by Corps of Engineers for en- hancement of land owned by Port of Portland and contribute in cash 3.5 percent of cost of construction of 35-foot channel by Corps of Engineers, and that such contributions estimated at $386,000 be paid in lump sum prior to commencement of con- struction. This sum was paid in 1964. Total non-Federal cost is $457,000. Terminal facilities. At Portland, Oreg., there are 20 terminals with facilities to handle general cargo, bulk grain, lumber, and miscellaneous other cargo. Also available at this facility to the public, are 10 fuel oil and gasoline wharves and piers, mechan- ical handling devices and heavy lift equipment. Also within the boundary of Portland harbor there are facilities for storing 12,- 680,000 bushels of grain for transhipmeit bywater. At Astoria, Oreg., there is a large municipal terminal with a 1-million bushel capacity grain elevator and facilities for receiv- ing and handling all types of general cargo. At Vancouver, Wash., there are two municipal terminal facili- ties and two grain elevators with a total capacity of 7,500,000 bushels of grain. Port of Longview has a public terminal on Columbia River and a privately owned grain elevator with . capacity of 5,365,000 bushels. At other locations on Columbia River between Portland and Columbia River entrance there are sufficient private facilities to accommodate river vessels and fishing craft. 1450 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 These facilities, with planned extensions, are considered ade- quate for existing commerce. (For details see Port Series Nos. 33 and 34, Corps of Engineers, published in 1953 and 1954, re- spectively.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Dredging author- ized 40-foot channel in Columbia River from Portland, Oreg., and Vancouver, Wash., to the sea was initiated by Government plant January 1964. Work was completed at Morgan and Willow Bars, miles 100 to 96, April 1964, with total of 1,451,936 cubic yards of material removed at cost of $387,836. In April 1964 contract was awarded for rock removal at Warrior Rock and Wauna in Colum- bia River and in Portland Harbor in Willamette River. Probing operations were initiated June 1964. Planning was in progress at end of fiscal year for construction of pile dikes and future dredging. Maintenance: A total of 9,751,235 cubic yards of material was removed from bars and shoals in main and side channels: 7,189,440 cubic yards by Government plant and 2,561,795 cubic yards by contract with Port of Portland, Oreg. Following work was accomplished in Columbia River: Repair of pile dikes Nos. 6.37 and 24.63 and between Vancouver, Wash., and Wauna, Oreg., construction of dolphins between Bradwood and Corbett, Oreg., dredging ranges were installed between miles 2 and 11 in Oregon and Washington. At end of year work was underway by contract with erection of survey beacon and dike marking between miles 12 and 24. In August 1964 placing of dike stone along pile dikes at Upper Martin Island Bar was completed under Public Works Accelera- tion Act of 1962. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project as authorized through act of July 24, 1946, was completed September 1950. Main chan- nel was completed in 1933, except that a revision at Harrington Point was made in 1935. Dikes were completed in 1935 and extension of Vancouver turning basin in 1939. Auxiliary channel in vicinity of Longview was completed in 1949, and improvement of mouth of Cowlitz River and small boat mooring basin at Astoria were completed in 1950. Controlling depth at low water in Columbia River from its mouth to mouth of Willamette River is 35 feet. Above mouth of Willamette River, Vancouver channel has a controlling depth of 30 feet and in Willamette River from its mouth to Broadway Bridge controlling depth is 33 feet. Project depths are main- tained all year except during short shoaling periods following freshets which generally occur in May, June, and July. In Columbia and Willamette Rivers between mouth and Broad- way Bridge at Portland a draft of 33 feet at low tide and 35 feet at high tide is practicable all year. In Columbia River between mouth of Willamette River and Vancouver, Wash., drafts of 28 and 30 feet at low and high tide, respectively, are practical all year.

RIVERS AND HARBORS - -PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1453 Operationsand results during fiscal year. New work: Investi- gation of beach erosion south of south jetty continued. Second year surveys were underway. Verification of fixed bed model of lower Columbia River estuary was completed and hydraulic studr ies made concerning effects of both deterioration and rehabilita- tion of south and north jetties and Sand Island dikes. Qualitative shoaling studies were made but decisions upon shoaling were generally deferred until quantitative shoaling results are avail- able after model is converted to a movable bed. This model is at Waterways Experiment Station. A design memorandum covering rehabilitation of north jetty was completed May 1964 with a second memorandum, Sand Island pile dikes, essentially com- pleted. Rehabilitation of south jetty initiated by contract June 1962 was 94.9 percent accomplished with 197,286 tons of jetty stone placed at a cost of $1,212,454. Maintenance: Dredging entrance channel was accomplished by Government hopper dredge with a total of 2,676,254 cubic yards of material removed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is 64 percent complete. Project as originally authorized, consisting of exten- sion of south jetty constructed under previous project, construc- tion of north jetty, and 40-foot channel depth over entrance bar, was completed in 1918. Dredging 48-foot bar channel was com- pleted September 1957. Rehabilitation of south jetty is under- way with new work funds. A predredge survey (May 1964) showed a controlling depth in entrance channel of 47 feet left outside, 47 feet left inside, and 45 feet right inside, and 42 feet right outside, at mean lower water. At Clatsop Spit, controlling depth for left quarter is 42 feet, cen- ter of channel 45 feet, and right quarter 42 feet.

Section of Willamette River in vicinity of Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by Improvement No. 19. { For Willamette River below falls at Oregon City ordinary fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and extreme fluctuation due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon City ordinary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and extreme is 20 to 27 feet. For Yamhill River ordinary, fluctuation is 35 feet and extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 21/2 feet at mouth of Willamette to zero, 26 miles above mouth. Estimated cost of new work (1964) is $3,200,000. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Between Ross Island Bridge at Portland and Willamette Falls at Oregon City, terminal facilities consist of privately owned mill docks, sand and gravel wharves, a cement load facility, a small shipyard, and oil-receiving stations. Above the falls there are privately owned landings including a facility at Pulp Siding (3 miles above the falls) with rail and water connections for shipment of clay and receipt of papermill prod- ucts by barge. At Wilsonville and Newberg there are sand and gravel facilities. At Salem there is a 420,000 gallon fuel tank which is serviced by tanker barges. At numerous locations as far as Corvallis (river mile 132) there are log rollways with water and rail or truck connections, to facilitate moving logs to mills in lower Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Existing facili- ties considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance chan- nel dredging above Oregon City, Oreg., was accomplished with removal of 634,500 cubic yards of material by Government plant, In June 1964 a contract was awarded for channel stabilization on Willamette River, Little Willamette and Scatter Bar locations, mile 124.6 to 125.3. Under Public Works Acceleration Act of 1962, construction of a drift barrier was accomplished July 1963 at Upper Jackson Bend, Willamette River. Cost was $31,494. Releases of stored water from Fern Ridge, Cottage GrOve, Dorena, Detroit, Lookout Point, Hills Creek, and Cougar Reser- voirs aided materially during low water periods in providing sufficient depths for existing traffic. For information on reservoir release see reports covering these reservoirs under flood control projects. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is approxi- mately 37 percent complete. The 8-foot channel between Port- land and Oregon City and 2.5- to 3.5-foot channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed in 1939. The 2.5- to 3.5-foot channel between Albany and Corvallis was completed in 1945. Remaining work required to complete project consists of con- struction of such contraction works and channel improvements as may be necessary, with streamflow regulation, to secure con- trolling depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to 1474 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 mouth of Santiam River, and 5 feet from that point to Albany. Controlling depths at low water are 8 feet from Portland to Oregon City, and 3.5 feet from Oregon City to Corvallis. Due to lack of use by commercial traffic for which facilities were provided, operation of Yamhill lock was discontinued February 7, 1954, and the lock and adjacent property reported surplus and turned over to Yamhill County January 16, 1959. Total costs of existing project, from Federal funds were $12,- 346,148, of which $615,170 was for new work and $11,730,978 for maintenance.

Total estimated costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms of project authori- zation were $42,000 (1964). Terminal facilities. At McLean Point, on north side of bay, about 2 miles from entrance, Yaquina Bay Dock & Dredge Co., Inc., has two berths capable of serving oceangoing vessels. One of these berths is 420 feet long; the second, a new berth, is 450 feet long. At the time the new berth was dredged, a new retaining wall and fill of 6 acres was constructed adjacent to deep water. The company now has a total of 17 acres of filled land adjacent to deep water, and of this total, 7 acres was constructed in 1956-57. This facility has necessary carriers and lift trucks for handling lumber cargoes, and is open to all on equal terms. On south side of bay immediately above 101 High- way Bridge, about 11/4 miles above entrance, Georgia-Pacific Corp., maintains private dolphins with a frontage of 700 feet for loading oceangoing vessels from barges. Port of Newport has a public wharf with 400 feet of frontage for servicing fishing boats. In addition, port of Newport maintains about 500 feet of pro- tected float landings for use of seagoing fishing vessels. There are several seafood companies on the bay which have their own facilities for handling fresh fish and crab. Supplies and petro- leum products are readily available for small vessels. These facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.

Plan as originally authorized provides for construction of an earthfill dam, 6,360 feet long at crest, and two auxiliary dikes, 850 and 3,680 feet long, along northeasterly boundary of reservoir. Main dam has a maximum height of 44 feet above streambed. Spillway, near left abutment, consists of a gravity section concrete overflow structure controlled by six automatic radial gates. Outlet works are in spillway structure. Project includes rectification of channel of Long Tomr River downstream from dam. Reservoir has a storage capacity of 101,200 acre-feet at full pool. Provision of additional storage for flood control was authorized by Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962. The additional storage will be provided by raising embankments 2 feet, to 46 feet above streambed, securing usable storage to 110,000 acre feet. Reservoir at full pool, protects Long Tom River Valley and is being operated as a unit of coordinated reservoir system to protect Willamette River Valley generally and to increase low waterflows for navigation. Existing project was selected for construction under general authorization for Willamette River Basin in Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938. Flood Control Acts of December 22, 1944, July 24, 1946, and September 3, 1954, modified project for recreational facilities. Construction of additional recreation facilities for project, es- timated to cost $1,770,000 and raising existing dam to provide additional storage for flood control, estimated to cost $175,000, will raise total project cost (1964) to $6,440,780. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Installation of rec- reational facilities, Orchard Point area, was completed by con- tract except for boat launching ramp, beach development, and a safety boom, delayed until fall when reservoir is lowered. A design memorandum was approved and plans and specifications essentially completed for raising existing dam to provide addi- tional storage for flood control. Maintenance: In addition to ordinary operation of dam and reservoir, stilling basin was repaired and a log safety boom in- stalled. In June 1964 bids were received for installation of Coyote FLOOD CONTROL-PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1489 Creek diversion pipeline. Planning was in progress for award of contracts for retarding erosion of Government and private lands on west side of Zumwalt Peninsula, erosion treatment at spillway abutments and near operators' quarters, and repair revetment length of main dam. During fiscal year, only one storm with a peak inflow of 23,000 cubic feet was regulated by Fern Ridge Reservoir on Long Tom River. This storm, third highest of record since reservoir was constructed occurred January 20, 1964, and required 66,000 acre- feet of storage space for control. Due to below normal precipi- tation from middle of March through May, reservoir was about 14,000 acre-feet short of filling. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project in- itiated April 1940 was completed August 1951, except for con- struction of additional recreation facilities authorized in 1954 and provision of additional storage for flood control authorized in 1962. Dam and reservoir have been in continuous operation since December 1941.

WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN (PORTLAND DIST.) Location. Willamette River is formed by Coast and Middle Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, Oreg., flows north 189 miles, and enters Columbia River, 101.5 miles above its mouth. Basin has an area of 11,200 square miles and lies between Cascade range on the east and coast range on the west. Major tributaries of Willamette River rise in Cascade Mountains and consist of Coast and Middle Forks and McKenzie, Calapooya, Santiam, Molalla, and Clackamas Rivers. Important tributaries that head in the coast range are Luckiamute, Yamhill, and Tua- latin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter main stream from the west, are Marys River, Rickreall Creek, and Long Tom River. Existing project. Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, ap- proved general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, and other purposes in Willamette River Basin (H. Doc. 544, 75th Cong., 3d sess.) and authorized $11,300,000 for initiation and partial accomplishment, of plan recommended for initial develop- ment, reservoirs and related works to be selected by Chief of Engineers. Subsequent Flood Control Acts, 1941 through 1963 authorized additional flood control and other works and increased monetary authority to $918,300,000 for Columbia River Basin, including Willamette River Basin. 1500 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

Under the authorization for construction of recreation FLOOD CONTROL---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1501 facilities on completed projects, work has been accomplished at Fern Ridge, Cottage Grove, Dorena, and Lookout Point Reser- voirs. Construction of Green Peter, Fall Creek, and Blue River Reservoirs is in progress. Advance engineering and design for proposed construction of Holley Reservoir project has been placed in deferred status pend- ing completion of a study to determine extent of increased capacity required in Calapooya River for flood control operation of the reservoir. Details of operation, construction, and financial status of proj- ects are given in individual reports. During low-water season, July-September, supplemental water releases are made from Willamette River Basin reservoirs for conservation purposes. Interests which benefit from increased downstream flows include irrigation, navigation, power, pollution abatement, and recreation. Although optimum regulation cannot be provided for every conservation interest, water released from reservoirs during the low-water season for a particular purpose will usually provide benefits to other conservation uses as well. Basic policy is to provide most beneficial overall regulation, con- sistent with established water-use priorities. 52. WOODSON DRAINAGE DISTRICT, COLUMBIA COUNTY, OREG. Location.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Funds appropriated for inspection of completed local flood pro- tection projects are used to determine condition of completed works and to ascertain whether those works are being properly maintained by local interests. A total of 63 leveed areas and 80 1502 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 bank protection works were inspected at various locations along both banks of Lower Columbia River below Bonneville Dam, along Oregon coast and Willamette River basin. Of this total 16 leveed areas in Oregon and 4 leveed areas in Washington along Lower Columbia River; 13 leveed areas and 4 revetments along Oregon coast were inspected during period August through October 1963. Nineteen leveed areas in Oregon and 11 leveed areas in Washington along Lower Columbia River and 4 revet- ments in Washington were inspected during March through June 1964. Also, during May 1964 72 revetments along the Willamette River and tributaries were inspected. A representative of the sponsoring districts accompanied the Portland District repre- sentatives performing the levee inspections. Aerial inspection of revetments in Willamette River basin was supplemented by an on site inspection at locations requiring maintenance. Deficiencies in maintenance and need for repairs were discussed with sponsoring districts' representatives and a report was made to each sponsor with recommendations for improving maintenance. The campaign to improve maintenance of completed Federal projects initiated by House Appropriations Committee on Civil Functions continued. Periodic contact was maintained with un- cooperative areas reported in fiscal year 1963, to ascertain any change in attitude and to provide technical assistance, if re- quested. Of the 143 local flood protection projects inspected in Portland District, 9 were considered dificient in maintenance. Fiscal year costs were $21,361 and costs to June 30, 1964, were $151,287. 54. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Three non-Corps of Engineers reservoirs, Prineville, Ochoco, and Emigrant, Oreg., are primarily irrigation reservoirs but were partially constructed with flood control funds. Operation for flood regulatioi was adequate and in each instance there was no serious flooding below the respective reservoir. Portland District is in process of preparing flood control reservoir regulation man- uals in compliance with section 7, Flood Control Act of 1944. Preparation of these manuals is coordinated with the Bureau of Reclamation. Total costs for fiscal year were $3,060. 55.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (a) Hydrologic studies: Initiated a cooperative reservoir qual- ity investigation at Detroit Reservoir with Public Health Service as an active participant. Program is nationwide with some 20-odd reservoirs in United States being investigated. Primarily is a program to correlate basic hydrologic and meteorologic elements with the physical and chemical quality of reservoir water. (b) Provide hydrologic and climatelogical data required to answer various inquiries from other public agencies and con- gressional sources. (c) Continued research in field of flood forecasting, genera- lized flood' frequency analysis, reservoir temperature analysis and water resource development and management. (d) Compile, analyze, and distribute, weather and river stage data within District office for operational purposes. (e) Investigate the practicability of electronic computer to solve hydrologic problems on planning and operational assign- ments. Total fiscal year costs were $6,670. (f) Civil works investigations: During fiscal year work on engineering study 825, Detroit Reservoir test conduit, consisted mainly of preparation for initial erosion tests. Necessary main- tenance work was also performed. Work performed on engi- GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS---PORTLAND, OREG., DISTRICT 1517 neering study 826, Detroit test chute, included design, fabrica- tion, installation, and testing of equipment to introduce a salt solution into spillway flow in test chute. Preliminary tests with several gate openings gave fairly satisfactory results of record- ing movement of the salt cloud past a single pair of electrodes. Engineering study 857 was completed September 1963 with publishing of final report on the study. Total fiscal year costs were $15,182.

Operationsand results during fiscal year. Regular funds: Main- tenance, hired labor: U.S. hopper dredge Pacific, during period September 24, 1963, to February 12, 1964, removed 438,883 cubic yards from Sand Island shoal, and 411,478 cubic yards from Cross- over channel, a total of 850,361 cubic yards, bin measurement. Pipeline dredge Robert Gray, leased from Port of Grays Harbor Commission, removed 911,135 cubic yards of material from the north channel. A total of 1,761,496 cubic yards of material was removed from the ship channel by all dredges. Rehabilitation, contract: Regular funds supplemented Public Works Acceleration Act funds in completing reinforcement of breakwater B. Public Works Acceleration Act funds: Contract for reinforce- ment of breakwater B by planking and placement of rock was com- pleted during the period August 23 to October 29, 1963. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was com- pleted in November 1959, except for engineering studies and observations of Point Chehalis protective works, and excluding deferred and inactive portions. South jetty was completed in 1902 with a groin 11,952 feet from high-water line. A 12,656-foot section of jetty was reconstructed to an elevation of 20 feet above mean lower low water during period 1936 through 1940. In August 1960, inner 100 feet of reconstructed jetty was partially removed, next 4,800 feet were at or near grade, next 500 feet showed subsidence to a maximum depth of 16 feet below grade, and outer 7,256 feet varied from elevations 4 feet above to eleva- tions below mean lower low water. North jetty was completed to midtide elevation in December 1913. It was later restored and raised to or above ordinary high water, this work being completed in January 1916. During 1941 and 1942, an 8,288-foot section was reconstructed westward from highwater line, inner 7,760 feet being raised to a crest elevation of plus 20 feet and remainder to an elevation of plus 30 feet. Remainder of north jetty has not been restored. The 412-foot section seaward of reconstructed jetty is at elevation of mean lower low water, and 7,300-foot section shoreward of reconstructed jetty has sanded in. An examination of reconstructed jetty, made in August 1960, showed that sea action had reduced crest of outer 528-foot section from elevation plus 30 to approximate elevation plus 20 feet, next 2,300 feet showed a maximum settlement of 15 feet to elevation plus 5 feet, and next 2,200-foot section has settlements varying from 10 feet to zero. A section of old jetty rock has been exposed by a breach in the sand spit at inshore end of reconstructed work. Westhaven Cove breakwater authorized by 1948 River and Har- bor Act was completed in two sections, A and B, and four timber- pile groins to protect Point Chehalis were constructed. In 1951, three rock groins were added to Point Chehalis works. In 1952, 1526 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 original timber-pile groins were reinforced, and a revetment con- necting all seven groins was constructed with stone removed from east end of reconstructed portion of south jetty; and local inter- ests completed initial dredging of entrance channel to Westhaven Cove. In 1953 and 1954, section A of breakwater and one of the groins were reinforced. Construction of 1,100 linear feet of west shore revetment at Westhaven Cove, extending westward and southward along shore of Point Chehalis from groin 5, has been completed. Breakwater C, consisting of a timber pile, rock-rein- forced breakwater 1,350 feet long, was completed in January 1958, except for installation of horizontal planking, and rock revetment of dredged fill dike placed by Port of Grays Harbor at end of Breakwater C, which was completed in November 1959. A field reconnaissance made in April 1964 indicated that exten- sion of west shore revetment at Point Chehalis was not required at present, and existing protective works at Point Chehalis were found to be in good condition. Remaining 2,200-foot portion of revetment was classified deferred. With Navy funds, 26-foot channel previously dredged by Port of Grays Harbor below Aberdeen was deepened to 30 feet, and widened to 350 feet in narrow section, from port terminal to deep water in lower harbor in 1945, at a cost of $162,000. Deepening 26- and 18-foot channels to 30 feet, between port terminal and Cosmopolis, with a turning basin at Cosmopolis of same depth, was completed in July 1956. Six-foot channel between Cosmo- polis, and Montesano, completed in 1910, was deepened to 12 feet in 1931. Bay City Channel was completed in July 1950. A turning basin 600 by 1,000 feet was dredged by Port of Grays Harbor Commission downstream from Union Pacific bridge in 1962.

LIBBY DAM, KOOTENAI RIVER, MONT. Location. On Kootenai River in Lincoln County, Mont., about 17 miles upstream from Libby, and 219 miles upstream from confluence of the Kootenai with Columbia River. (See U.S. Geo- logical Survey topographic sheet, Thompson Lakes, Mont.) Existing project. Plan provides for storage for local flood con- trol protection in Montana and Idaho downstream from dam; main stem flood control in Lower Columbia River; hydroelectric power generation at-site and at downstream plants through storage release; and recreation development. Project will be operated as a unit of comprehensive system for improvement of Columbia River basin for flood control, navigation, hydroelectric power, and other purposes. Straight concrete gravity overflow dam will be about 420 feet high. Powerhouse will have an initial installed capacity of 420,000 kilowatts from four hydroelectric generating units. Reservoir, backing water into Canada, will have a usable storage capacity of 4,965,000 acre-feet at 50 percent drawdown. Construction of dam will depend on consummation of treaty between United States and Canada relating to inter- national cooperation in water-resource development of Columbia River Basin. Cost estimate for new work is $349 million (July 1964) (4 units). Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act 1556 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 of May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 531, 81st Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map). Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Studies continued on planning of all major project features. Major effort was con- centrated on dam studies. Extensive foundation exploration and final planning and design continued. Design work continued on 59-mile Great Northern Railway line change, including the 10.9 miles of clearing and grading, 7-mile tunnel, and 11.8 miles of clearing and grading. Preliminary steps were taken toward de- veloping a relocation agreement with Great Northern Railway. Design memoranda for relocation of 52 miles of Montana State Highway 37 on east bank of reservoir, 50 miles of forest develop- ment road on west bank of reservoir, and about 6 miles of forest road branch connections were completed. Final design was 75 percent completed for the first 12.5 miles of the 50-mile forest development road, and was initiated for the 2d and 3d units (26 miles) and reservoir bridge of the forest development road. Work on design memorandum for relocation of Warland ranger station and work center, and Rexford work center, U.S. Forest Service facilities to be inundated by the reservoir, was nearly completed. Design memorandum on number and size of units for initial installation was completed July 1963. Additional studies on size of future units were underway. Design memorandum for tailrace and downstream channel excavation was completed. Real estate design memoranda were completed for Great North- ern Railway line change and for dam, reservoir, highway and road relocations, and public access. Real estate mapping was initiated. Studies continued on planning of lesser features of the project, including reservoir timber harvest and clearing; relocation or adjustment of utilities, structures, and cemeteries in the reservoir area; and visitors' facilities.

Project includes improvement of 128 miles of Columbia River between head of Celilo Falls and Kennewick, Wash. (See U.S. .Geological Survey map of Washington.) Previous project. For details see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889, Annual Report for 1931; and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. A channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified depth or width between Wallula and mouth of Snake River and for an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water from navigation chan- nel in Columbia River to site of port development at Arlington, Oreg. Incomplete channel rectification work at Owyhee Rapids, Squally Hook, and Indian Rapids, is classified inactive. Estimated cost of this portion, revised in 1954, is $419,000. Construction of The Dalles Dam and raising reservoir provided a slackwater pool extending upriver to site of John Day Dam and provided slackwater over lower 25 miles of original project. Crea- tion of pool behind McNary Dam (river mile 292) provided slackwater over upper 36 miles of original project. Remaining reach of river included in this project is comprised of approx- imately 67 miles of open river between The Dalles pool and McNary Dam. Upon creation of pool behind John Day Dam, slackwater will also be provided over this reach of river, and project will be obviated.

Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1945 provides that for Arlington Channel, local interests give assurances they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms. These assurances were approved December 29, 1947, but a freight terminal will not be constructed because backwater of John Day Dam will inundate present terminal area. Terminal facilities. On Columbia River from Celilo to McNary lock and dam there are five privately owned grain and oil ter- minals with connections to truck and rail. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Above McNary lock and dam are five publicly owned terminals which handle general cargo and are open for public use. These terminals are adequate for existing commerce, and general development is keeping pace with increas- ing demands. In addition, there are 15 privately owned terminals serving grain, petroleum, and chemical industries. Also there are five commercial marinas. RIVERS AND HARBORS - WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 1561 Operations and results during fiscal year. On Columbia River, reconnaissance and condition surveys of navigation channel from McNary lock and dam to John Day lock and dam site were conducted in July and August 1963. Some shoaling had occurred at Owyhee Rapids and corrective action was planned for fiscal year 1965. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been completed to McNary lock and dam. For that portion of project within McNary pool and The Dalles pool, depths are in excess of 7 feet with minimum depth of 15 feet over upper lock sills. Arlington approach channel was completed in 1948. Costs of existing project were $1,356,584 for new work and $946,- 164 for maintenance, a total of $2,302,748 regular funds.

Fiscal year costs were $402. 4. BLACKFOOT RESERVOIR, BLACKFOOT RIVER, IDAHO Location. On Blackfoot River in Caribou County, Idaho, about 40 miles southeast of city of Blackfoot. (See U.S. Geo- logical Survey quadrangle sheets Paradise Valley, Cranes Flat, Portneuf, andiHenry for location and surroundings in immediate vicinity of project). Existing project. Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir is owned and operated by Fort Hall Agency of Bureau of Indian Affairs, De- partment of Interior. Main dam, which is 52 feet high, is a 1562 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 rockfill structure with a concrete core. A low earthfill dike known as China Hat Dam closes an arm of reservoir near its upstream end to minimize storage loss due to seepage in pervious formation of that area. Main dam structure includes a spillway in right abutment and an outlet tunnel in left abutment. Reservoir has a usable storage capacity of 413,000 acre-feet at design maximum water surface elevation 6124. However, due to experience with seepage losses from southern end of reservoir, and past demands for water, operating level has been limited to about elevation 6120, or about 340,000 acre-feet storage capacity. Water stored in reservoir is used to irrigate lands in Fort Hall Indian Reserva- tion in vicinity of Blackfoot and south. Recommended modifica- tion of project would provide 38,000 acre-feet additional storage capacity by raising concrete core wall of main dam 6 feet, re- shaping earth and rock dam around core, modifying spillway and outlet works, and raising China Hat Dam 8 feet. New earth- fill dikes also would be required across two other southern arms of reservoir to control seepage. By removal of these minor arms from reservoir area, it is anticipated that seepage problems that have been experienced when operating between elevations 6120 and 6124 would not be aggravated and could be mitigated to some extent. These modifications would permit operation of reser- voir for flood control to a maximum water surface elevation of 6126, and remove difficulties of irrigation storage use to 6124. Spill- way capacity would be increased to 7,000 cubic feet per second by lowering crest elevation from 6118.5 to 6113 and installing new gates. Outlet works would be modernized and rehabilitated, with a capacity of 2,700 cubic feet per second, to work more adequately for flood control operation. Recommended modifica- tion was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962. Construction would be accomplished by Corps of Engineers, with continued operation of project by Bureau of Indian Affairs. Estimated total Federal cost of proposed modifications is $900,000. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. None. Condition at end of fiscal year. Modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir in interest of increased flood control for Blackfoot River Basin was first presented as a potential project in review report for Upper Snake River Basin dated 1961, which was pre- pared jointly by Walla Walla District and Regional Office of Bureau of Reclamation in Boise, Idaho. That review report was authorized by a Senate resolution adopted March 19, 1954, which requested a review of House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session, with particular reference to Upper Snake River Basin above Weiser, Idaho. In referenced review report, modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir was presented as one of the poten- tial projects warranting early consideration for construction. Interim report No. 2 on modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir, dated March 1962, included additional information and analysis of February 1962 floods and confirmed project economic feasibility. It is on this latter report that congressional authori- zation is based. There have been no funds allocated to this project. FLOOD CONTROL-WALLA WALLA, WASH., DISTRICT 1563 5. BLACKFOOT RIVER, COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN, IDAHO Location. Project provides flood protection to lower 16 miles of Blackfoot River along eastern boundary of Fort Hall Indian Reservation near city of Blackfoot in Bingham County, Idaho. Existing project. Provides for widening, deepening and shortening river channel and erection of levees through a 5-mile reach of river from river mile 10.8 to 16. It also provides for a floodwater diversion channel at river mile 10.8 to Snake River in order to protect lower 11 miles of Blackfoot River valley lands. Existing project was conditionally authorized under section 204, Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, subject to economic justification. Economic justification was established in fiscal year 1958. Estimated Federal cost is $400,000. Non-Federal costs are estimated to be $59,000 for rights-of-way, relocation of irriga- tion facilities, minor relocations, and alterations to roads and a bridge. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was started and completed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in July 1963 and completed in May 1964.

BOISE VALLEY, COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN, IDAHO Location. Proposed project is on Boise River in intermittent reaches of channel from vicinity of Boise, Idaho, river mile 52, downstream to Snake River, river mile 0. Existing project. Previous emergency flood control projects have been accomplished at various locations on this portion of river. Plan provides for raising existing levees and structures to existing hydraulic design criteria. It also provides for con- struction of levees in reaches where protection does not presently exist. Project was conditionally authorized under Columbia River Basin plan by section 204, Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, subject to economic justification. Economic justification was established in fiscal year 1962. That portion of project in Canyon County from river mile 1 to 37 was placed in inactive status due to inability of local in- terests to meet sponsorship requirements. Estimated Federal cost of Ada County unit is $504,000; esti- mated non-Federal cost is $35,100 for rights-of-way and relocation of utilities. Estimated Federal cost of inactive Canyon County unit is $652,800. 1564 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Local cooperation. Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, applies. Officials of Ada County furnished a letter of intent to sponsor portion of project in Ada County. Canyon County officials gave written notice that they are unable to meet sponsorship requirements for their portion of the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. General design memorandum for Ada County unit was approved by higher authority. Condition at end of fiscal year. Protests against project by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Idaho State Department of Fish and Game have delayed initiation of preparation of plans and specifications of Ada County unit. Canyon County portion of the project is in inactive status. No construction has been done.

Anchorage is in south-central Alaska on southeast shore of Knik Arm near its junction with Cook Inlet and north of Turnagain Arm. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8553.) Existing project. Provides for a deepwater harbor by dredg- ing adjacent to existing docks to a depth of 35 feet below mean lower low water and constructing two jetties or other protective works along northerly and southerly ends. Extreme tidal range is 39 feet and a mean range is 26.7 feet. The large tidal fluctua- tions produce tidal bores in summer months and large ice mass in winter months that form into floe ice making it extremely hazardous for small-boat navigation. Latest cost estimate for new work, revised in 1964, is $5,722,000. Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 34, 85th Cong., 1st sess.) Local cooperation. Local interests must provide easements, rights-of-way, and spoil-disposal areas; hold the United States free from damages; and construct wharf facilities adequate for handling of cargo. Terminal facilities. There were five wharves at Anchorage. One wharf owned and operated by the city of Anchorage; one wharf owned and operated by private individual, and one wharf owned by the Military, all capable of handling ocean going vessels, and open for public use. Remaining wharves are privately owned and used for industrial purposes. Wharf owned and operated by the military to handle military cargo and oil-handling and bunk- ering terminal was considered adequate for existing ocean com- merce until the complete facility was destroyed by the March 27, 1589 1590 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 1964 earthquake. A temporary oil-handling and bunkering ter- minal is under construction by the city of Anchorage and will be used by public and private interests jointly. Permanent oil- handling facilities are now being planned. Operations and results during fiscal year. General design memorandum for maintenance dredging in the contiguous area between the military and city docks was approved. Plans and specifications were submitted with advertising date and bid open- ming date set when the 1964 earthquake occurred. Port of An- chorage then became the major serviceable port in south-central Alaska to serve that area and interior Alaska. No dredging was accomplished in 1964 due to the heavy traffic. Condition at end of fiscal year. Army dock is unusable due to extensive damage and will be demolished. Temporary oil-handling facilities under construction by city of Anchorage will be in operation about July 15, 1964. Planning by the city for perma- nent oil-handling and bunkering facilities and expansion of existing wharf for dry cargo is underway. In conjunction with their construction dredging to authorized project depths will be accomplished as required to conform with Port of Anchorage development.

NAVIGATION WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Snagging and clearing for navigation (sec. 3, 1945 River and Harbor Act, Public Law 14, 79th Cong.) Fiscal year costs were $24,546, including $3,561 Government costs, for removing 23 boulders, 5 feet in diameter or larger, from near mouth of Kenai River which flows into Cook Inlet in south- central Alaska. 19. FAIRBANKS, ALASKA Location. Site of project is on Chena River 11/4 miles below mouth of Chena Slough, about 1 mile above east boundary of Fort Wainwright, and 5 miles above Fairbanks. Existing project. Plan provides for an earthfill diversion dam 11/2 miles long across Chena River near mile 20, a diversion chan- nel about 5.2 miles long from Chena River to Tanana River, a FLOOD CONTROL--ALASKA, DISTRICT 1607 levee 12 miles long parallel to north bank of Tanana River and necessary drainage facilities to protect Fairbanks and Fort Wain- wright from recurring flood damage from Chena and Tanana Rivers. Estimated cost for new work, revised in 1961, is $11,830,000, including $430,000 from local contribution. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958 (H. Doc. 137, 84th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published map of locality). Recommended modification consists of a plan of improvement for an earthfill dam 3 miles long with spillway and control tunnel at river mile 52, a levee on right bank of Tanana River from Moose Creek dike to confluence of Chena and Tanana Rivers approximately 19.5 miles long. Improvements would protect en- tire stretch of river from damsite west of Fairbanks including Fort Wainwright as well as Tanana River flood plain. Estimated cost is $41,100,000, including $617,000 from local contribution, payments being made in equal annual installments over 50-year life of project. Authorized project requiring an extensive storage pool would flood all improvements within pool valued at approxi- mately $2,600,000. Authorized project plus additional costs due to development at present prices would increase to $18,700,000, of which $4,100,000 would be local contribution. This project would not protect any new developments in the area and was abandoned as impractical. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way for construction and subsequent maintenance; hold the United States free from damage; contribute $30,000 annually toward maintenance and operation, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed by Secretary of the Army. No formal action has been taken toward securing assurances of local co- operation. For the recommended project, total annual contribu- tion would be $32,500 for maintenance and operation and $24,000 per annum representing amortization of life of project. Operations and results during fiscal year. Revised report was completed and forwarded to higher authority in March 1964 for review. Condition at end of fiscal year. Engineering and economic project feasibility was completed and report formally submitted to higher authority in March 1964 for review. Cost and financial statement 20. GOLD CREEK, ALASKA Location.

Its total length is about 1608 REPORT OF THECHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 5 miles and it drains an area of about 10.2 square miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 8235.) Previous projects. In 1934 and 1935 the Work Projects Ad- ministration constructed a cemented rubble channel at a cost of approximately $84,000. In addition, city of Juneau expended about $51,910 for emergency channel repairs since 1946. For emergency work performed prior to authorization of the existing project see Annual Report for 1953. Existing project. Plan provides for a reinforced-concrete channel lining 1,717 feet long for that portion of Gold Creek passing through city of Juneau together with necessary intake and downstream energy dissipating structures. Project will pro- vide protection to the city of Juneau from a project flood of 4,800 cubic feet per second. Project was modified in 1962 reinforcing concrete lining of channel, removal of material to form a catch basin, construction of concrete weir or check dam and placement of derrick stone for channel protection at head of channel. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954 (H.Doc. 54, 82d Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest map). Local cooperation. Fully complied with: Operations and results during fiscal year. Scouring of lined channel continued since completion of contract awarded in March 1962, but does not present an immediate problem and studies per- formed during the year will continue into fiscal year 1965. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of reinforced con- crete-lined channel was commenced in April 1957 and completed in March 1958. Establishment of staff gages in the structure for engineering research purposes was accomplished in fiscal year 1960. Rehabilitation of channel lining and construction of a stilling basin was accomplished in 1962. Four test areas in the channel, each 25 feet long, were included to test materials for cohesion and resistence to abrasion. Two of the four test areas installed in 1962 deteriorated and are considered failures.

BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors is a continuing body created by section 3, River and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902. The Board comprises 7 senior engineer officers: The Chairman is the Deputy Chief of Engineers; 5 members are Division Engineers (rotative basis) from continental U.S. divisions; the seventh officer is assigned full time as Resident Member and di- rects the staff. Appointments are made by the Chief of Engineers for unspecified periods. The Board meets on call of the Chairman. Statutory duties of the Board as set forth in the act of June 13, 1902, and subsequent acts and ammendments are: (a) to con- duct an independent review of survey reports covering projects for river and harbor, flood control, and multiple-purpose improve- ments prepared by the Corps of Engineers in response to an act of the Congress or a resolution of the House or Senate Public Works Committees; and to report its conclusions and recommen- dations thereon to the Chief of Engineers, who forwards the re- ports with his conclusions and recommendations to the Secretary of the Army for transmission to the Congress; (b) to conduct an independent review of all special reports ordered by the Congress and report thereon in the same manner as for survey reports when directed by the Chief of Engineers; (c) to consider and approve general plans for major modification and reconstruction of any lock, canal, canalized river or other work for the use and benefit of navigation. All functions of the Beach Erosion Board pertaining to review of reports of investigations made concerning erosion of the shores of coastal and lake waters, and the protection of such shores, were transferred to the Board under section 3, Public Law 88-172. Additional statutory duties were assigned the Board under terms of Merchant Marine Act and various River and Harbor Acts, particularly that of September 22, 1922. Under these acts, the Board: (a) in cooperation with U.S. Maritime Administra- tion, collects, compiles, and publishes information on characteris- tics of U.S. ports: physical characteristics of the ports are the responsibility of the Corps of Engineers, and administrative characteristics are the responsibility of the Maritime Adminis- tration; (b) provides staff supervision over collection and compilation of statistics on the volume and nature of commerce on inland waterways, which include entrance channels for ocean ports of the United States. Statistics are published annually in two categories: "Waterborne Commerce of the United States" in five parts (7 volumes), showing nature and amount of commodity, passenger, and vessel movements; and Transportation Series in three volumes, listing characteristics of registered and unregis- tered vessels comprising the U.S.-flag shipping fleets. In addition to its statutory duties, the following duties are the more significant among those assigned by the Chief of Engineers: Review of Corps of Engineers' policies and procedures as directed; review of reports of other Federal agencies pertaining to water resources development; conduct of investigations and studies of economics of ports and waterways; and to conduct a 1611 1612 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

By Public Law 85-500 Congress eliminated preliminary examinations. Prior to that date and in addition to the above, the Board recommended 2,100 sur- veys from its consideration of preliminary examination reports. During fiscal year 1964 the Board held five meetings of 1 to 3 days' duration and held one public hearing in Washington. The Board considered, 132 reports, acted favorably on 70, unfavorably on 54, deferred action on 3, and returned 5. The Board recom- mended construction of projects totaling $2,248,528,800, of which $1,728,819,600 was estimated U.S. cost, and $519,709,200 the cost to local interests for work and cash contributions. Of the 54 unfavorable reports acted on by the Board, 28 in- volved construction costs estimated at $113,170,800, consisting of $100,407,700 Federal, and $12,763,100, non-Federal. The remain- ing 26 reports contained no cost estimates as they dealt with improvements that were obviously unfavorable or no longer necessary. The Board's staff submitted reports or comments on reports as follows: 5 reports by other Federal agencies on water resources development; 95 reports prepared under special, continuing au- thorities for small flood control and small navigation construction projects; and 28 special reports on civil works planning, including the review and submission of comments on revisions to procedures published or to be published in Engineer Regulations. Studies prescribed by various River and Harbor Acts and section 8, Merchant Marine Act of 1920, continued, and the re- sults were published in three series of reports titled Port Series, Transportation Series, and Waterborne Commerce of the United States. The following reports were published during the year: Port series No. 30-The Ports of San Francisco and Redwood City, Calif.

Location and description. Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and flows generally southerly for 2,350 miles through central portion of United States to empty into Gulf of Mexico about 115 miles below New Orleans. It is improved for barge navigation for about 1,837 miles to Minneapolis, Minn. Major tributaries are Missouri, Ohio, St. Francis, White, Arkan- sas, Yazoo, and Red Rivers which drain 1,245,000 square miles in all or part of 31 States between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and part of two Canadian Provinces. Below Cape Girardeau, Mo., 53 miles above Ohio River, river bottom lands widen abruptly into an alluvial valley of about 35,460 square miles which was originally subject to flood overflow. For descrip- tive purposes, this area has been subdivided into St. Francis, White, Tensas, Atchafalaya, and Lafourche Basins west of river, and Yazoo and Pontchartrain Basinss east of river. A major part of the alluvial valley has been protected from floods by levees which confine floodflows within a flood plain having an average width of about 5 miles. (See map of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River scale 1:500,000.) Observations made by Mississippi River Commission to June 30, show approximate maximum and minimum discharges be- tween levees as follows: Cairo to White River, 2 million and 70,- 000 cubic feet per second; thence to Red River, 2,150,000 and 90,000 cubic feet per second; thence to the Gulf of Mexico, 1,500,- 000 and 80,000 cubic feet per second in Mississippi River and about 650,000 and 12,000 cubic feet per second in Atchafalaya River. As 1927 floodflow was not confined between levees, maxi- mum discharges recorded do not include entire flow of 1927 flood, maximum of record below White River. Low water stages, gener- ally, obtain from August to December. High water and flood stages usually occur in late winter or early spring, but great floods such as that of 1937 have occurred as early as January in upper reaches of lower river. Extreme ranges in stages recorded at representative gages are about 60 feet at Cairo, 55 feet at Mem- phis, 58 feet at Red River Landing, and 23 feet at New Orleans (Carrollton). River is nontidal above Red River Landing where amplitude of tide rarely exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. Previous projects. For details see page 1944, Annual Report for 1932, page 1682, Annual Report for 1937, and page 1780, Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. For the Mississippi River and tributaries in alluvial valley between Head of Passes, La., and Cape Girar- deau, Mo., provides for protection thereof from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, floodways, reservoirs (in Yazoo and St. Francis Basins), bank stabilization, and channel improvements in 1618 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 and along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as affected by backwater of the Mississippi River, including levee work on the main stem between Cape Girardeau and Rock Island. Project also provides for channel realinement and improvement including bank stabilization and dikes to reduce flood heights; control natural tendency of river to lengthen by meandering; protect levees from being destroyed by caving banks; and provide a 12- by 300-foot navigation channel between Baton Rouge, La. and Cairo, Ill. Locations of major Mississippi River project im- provements for flood control and navigation, including main stem levees and appurtenant drainage structures and spillways, chan- nel realinement and dredging, bank revetment, and dikes are in table A. Locations of levee work accomplished under pro- visions of section 6, Flood Control Act of 1928, are shown in table E-4. Project provides for harbor improvements on main stem at Baton Rouge (Devils Swamp), La., Vicksburg, Miss., Greenville, Miss., and Memphis, Tenn. Locations of these improvements are shown in table A. Locations of project improvements on tribu- taries and outlets in designated basins are listed in table B. Table C contains data pertinent to dams and reservoirs. Table A.

Condition at End of Fiscal Year Construction of existing project began in 1928 and has con- tinued throughout ensuing years. Based on current estimated cost of $1,911,495,000 and actual cost of $1,316,588,000, entire project is about 69 percent complete. Results of continuing surveys of Mississippi River below Cairo are indicated in pub- lished folio of maps, entitled "Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico, 1963." Contoured quadrangles, general maps of alluvial valley, and pam- phlets tabulating river stages, discharge measurements, etc., have been published and are available for departmental use and public distribution under prescribed regulations. Road-map-type infor- mation folders of principal portions of overall project have been published along with papers on subjects of flood control and navigation. Present construction status of project features listed in tables A and B follows: Mississippi River levees: There are 1,724 miles of Mississippi River levees below Cape Girardeau (including those on north bank of lower Ohio River, Memphis Harbor project, and south banks of lower Arkansas and Red Rivers) with earthwork ag- gregating about 1,127,726,000 cubic yards as listed in tables E-1 through E-3. There are 1,627.2 miles of these levees built to project grade and section. Graveled or hard-surfaced roads have been constructed on 667.5 miles of these levees. Below Baton Rouge, in New Orleans District, about 125.8 miles of levee are protected against river wavewash by timber structures or levee- slope pavement. Shore-erosion-protection works have been con- structed along 67.4 miles of levee. In order in insure adequacy of main stem levees, including those on south banks of Arkansas and Red Rivers, additional levee construction is recommended to provide a standard 3-foot freeboard, adequate levee cross section, construction of berms for levee stabilization and seepage control, levee wavewash protection where necessary, drainage structures, and roadways for proper inspection and maintenance. Bonnet Carre Spillway, La.: Spillway structure was completed in February 1931, and remaining work completed in December 1936. Operation and maintenance of spillway are carried on as required (See pp. 2089-2091, Annual Report for 1938 for descrip- tion.) Birds Point-New Madrid Floodway, Mo.: Plans, designs, and specifications are complete for a levee and closure structure to prevent backwater flooding in lower end of floodway.

Flood control work under section 6, May 15, 1928 Act.: Levees constructed under provisions of section 6, 1928 act, as summarized in table E-4, include 129.4 miles of levee along banks of Missis- sippi River between Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Rock Island, Ill., and 306.2 miles along tributaries within limits of Mississippi River backwater. 1642 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Mississippi River--channel improvement: In carrying out au- thorized channel improvement program between Baton Rouge and Cairo, 16 cutoffs were developed between 1933 and 1942. These, combined with chute channel development and alinement improvements, decreased channel length between these cities by about 170 miles. Effect of this channel shortening, in increasing its flood-carrying capacity, is stated on page 1811, Annual Report for 1943. Much progress has been made in advancing overall channel stabilization program, involving construction of bank re- vetment, dikes, and improvement dredging, to prevent river from regaining its former length due to its natural tendency to mean- der. There are now in place 511.4 miles of operative bank revet- ment on Mississippi and lower Ohio Rivers as listed on tables D-1 through D-3. A navigation channel 9 by 300 feet is main- tained by dredging as required during low-water season. Since 1928, annual maintenance dredging has averaged about 30 mil- lion cubic yards. Due to growing effectiveness of channel impro- vement program, average low-water maintenance dredging re- quirements are steadily being reduced, and an increase in naviga- ble depth is being obtained. A long-range plan has been developed and recommended to bring about desired program of channel improvement between Cairo and Head of Passes including addi- tional bank revetment, dredging, training works, and foreshore protection. Baton Rouge Harbor (Devils Swamp) : Construction was initi- ated January 1958 and 7,458,086 cubic yards have been excava- ted in completing 2.5 miles of proposed 5-mile channel to project dimensions.

COASTAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER U.S. Army Coastal Engineering Research Center was established under authority of Public Law 172, 88th Congress, November 7, 1963, which abolished the former Beach Erosion Board and directed that its functions other than review of reports of in- vestigations made concerning erosion and protection of the shores of coastal and lake waters, be vested with the Coastal Engineering Research Center. The report review function was transferred to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, putting re- ports on beach-erosion control and shore-protection studies under the same review procedures as reports in other phases of the water resources study program of the Corps of Engineers. The authorizing act also provided that the functions of the Coastal Engineering Research Center be conducted with the guidance and advice of a Coastal Engineering Research Board, to be constituted by the Chief of Engineers in the same manner as the former Beach Erosion Board. During the portion of fiscal year 1964 preceding the abolish- ment of the Beach Erosion Board the following served as its members: Maj. Gen. Robert G. MacDonnell, U.S. Army, presi- dent; Brig. Gen. Arthur H. Frye, Jr., U.S. Army, Division En- gineer, South Pacific Division; Brig. Gen. John C. Dalrymple, U.S. Army, Division Engineer, North Atlantic Division; Brig. Gen. Peter C. Hyzer, U.S. Army, Division Engineer, New England Division; Dr. Thorndike Saville, Consulting Engineer to State of New York; Dr. Morrough P. O'Brien, Dean Emeritus of Col- lege of Engineering, University of California; and Dr. Lorenz G. Straub, Engineering Consultant, Division of Waterways, Depart- ment of Conservation, State of Minnesota. Coastal Engineering Research Board was made up of the same membership with exceptions that Maj. Gen. Jackson Graham, U.S. Army, was appointed President of the new Board and Dr. Arthur T. Ippen, Professor of Hydraulics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was appointed to replace Dr. Straub (deceased). The Coastal Engineering Research Center is the principal re- search and development facility of the Corps of Engineers in the field of coastal engineering. Its general functions are: (a) Con- ceive, plan, and conduct research and development to provide better understanding of shore processes, winds, waves, tides, surges, and currents as they apply to navigation improvements, flood and storm protection, beach-erosion control, and coastal engineering works; (b) furnish technical assistance as directed by the Chief of Engineers in the conduct of studies made by other elements of the Corps of Engineers with the view of devis- ing effective means of preventing erosion of shores of coastal and lake waters by waves and currents; and (c) publish infor- mation and data concerning coastal phenomena and research and development projects which are useful to the Corps of Engineers and the public. Other functions assigned by the Chief of Engi- neers are: (a) assist the Chief of Engineers in planning and 1675 1676 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 designing coastal works;, including determination of probable effects of such works on adjacent shorelines; establishment of hurricane protection criteria; evaluation of effectiveness of pro- pPed coastal navigation improvements; and in review for tech- nical adequacy of studies, p)ans and specifications for beach erosion control and other coastal engineering works; (b) provide staff support to the Coastal Engineering Research Board in conduct of its functions; (c) maintain liaison through appropriate Army and governmental agencies with domestic and foreign in- stitutions which have the same interests in order to evaluates the effect of other efforts on the U.S. coastal research program; and (d) provide consulting services on coastal engineering problems to,other elements of the Corps of Engineers and other govern- mental agencies as directed. SOperations and reults during fiscal year. During the portion of fiscal year preceding abolishment of the Beach Erosion Board that Board completed the review of cooperative beach erosion control reports oni Fire Island Inlet and shore westerly to Jones Inlet, N.Y.; Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii; and Ocracoke Island, N.C., the latter combined in a single report with a hurricane study. During the same period six new Federal shore-protection surveys were authorized by resolution of congressional commit- tees, making about 160 beach-erosion control, studies approved for prosecution during the Board's 33-year existence. Of these, 134 resulted from application by appropriate agencies of local government for cooperative studies. Two or more reports sometimes resulted from a single cooperative study. During this period the Board reviewed and acted on 151 reports resulting from those studies, and 37 studies remained to be completed in field offices at the time of the Beach Erosion Board's abolishment. Thirteen of the latter were cooperative-type studies involving participation in the study costs by appropriate agencies of local government, and 24 are Federal surveys authorized under pro- cedures provided for in the 1962 River and Harbor Act. Beach Erosion Board's staff reviewed 11 reports on navigation improvements -which included information as to probable effects on adjacent shorelines, as provided in section 5, River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, and also reviewed 4 hurricane survey reports and one design memorandum during the portion of fiscal year 1964 prior to abolishment of that Board. Since its establishment the staff of the Coastal Engineering Research Center reviewed 17 reports for technical adequacy, that total comprised of one flood control, 6 navigation, 6 hurricane protection, 3 beach-erosion control and one combined beach ero- sion control-hurricane protection report. In keeping with the responsibility for publishing information and data concerning coastal phenomena, 13 technical reports by staff members were published during the year and two others are currently in press. Two technical memoranda were issued by the Beach Erosion Board and five by the Coastal Engineering Research Center. The Beach Erosion Board's Annual Bulletin for fiscal year 1963 contained five technical articles. Four tech- COASTAL ENGINEERING RESEARCH CENTER 1677 nical manuscripts were published in the "Miscellaneous Papers" series; one of these, the primer entitled "Land Against the Sea," is a booklet explaining beach erosion and shore processes in lay terms. Five technical papers prepared by the staff have been published in the technical press. Four other technical reports were presented before technical groups, but are not planned for publication. Ten additional reports are in preparation. During the year the staff worked on ten major research or engineering projects and prepared nine reports for various agen- cies. A number of lesser studies were made and reported on. A training course in coastal engineering was given to a group of trainees from the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors and a number of descriptive presentations were made by staff members to technical and nontechnical groups. Research to sup- plement staff activities was carried out at nine universities under 13 contracts. Funds were also provided the Waterways Experi- ment Station to assist in construction of the generalized tidal model basins. At the end of the year, studies by the staff were in progress on characteristics of ocean waves by actual measurement at a number of localities; methods of bypassing sand at inlets; sources of beach material; wave runup and overtopping on shore struc- tures, including effect of angular approach; transmission of wave energy over or through breakwater or jetty structures; stability of rubblemound structures; relation of littoral drift rate to incident waves; amount of suspended sand in the surf zone; model scale effects; adaptations of wave spectrum analyzer to laboratory and full field use; use of radioactive and fluorescent tracers in beach studies; sand dune growth and stabilization by sand fences; beach deformation under wave action; use of offshore borrow material for beach fills; tests and development of precast interlocking concrete blocks for seawall protection; reexamina- tion of completed shore protection projects; relation of edge waves and cusps; breaker characteristics and wave setup. Research work at the Coastal Engineering Research Center or sponsored at universities is, in general, financed by Beach Erosion Development funds, general expense funds, and civil works in- vestigations funds. Appropriated and allotted funds in the three categories for fiscal year 1964 amounted to $190,000, $820,000 and $84,000 respectively, or a total of $1,094,000. Reimbursable projects provided other funds amounting to about $110,000. CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION This Commission, consisting of three officers of Corps of Engi- neers appointed by the President with the consent of the Senate, created by act of March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 507), was or- ganized in San Francisco, Calif., on June 8, 1893, and has juris- diction and duties extending over drainage area of Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, comprising great central valley of Cali- fornia and extending from crest of Sierra Nevada on the east to that of Coast Range on the west, and from Mount Shasta and Pitt River Basin on the north to Tehachapi Mountains on the south. These rivers empty into head of Suisun Bay ultimately discharging into the Pacific Ocean through connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. Duties of the Commission comprise regulation of hydraulic mining in drainage area of Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, Calif., so that debris will not be carried into navigable waters or otherwise cause damage; jurisdiction over construction and control of water storage facilities for domestic, irrigation and power development purposes; and direction of improvements for control of floods on Sacramento River.

SACRAMENTO RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES, CALIFORNIA (DEBRIS CONTROL) Location. Project reservoirs are to be constructed in water- sheds of Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, Calif. (See U.S. Geological Survey sheets for basin areas, seven in number.) Existing project. Designed to permit resumption of hydraulic mining on a substantial scale and provides for construction of reservoirs for purpose of retaining mining debris. North Fork Reservoir is on North Fork of American River about 5 miles northeast of city of Auburn and 40 inlfes northeast of Sacramento. Dam is 155 feet high, 620 feet long, and reservoir has a debris- storage capacity of 26 million cubic yards. Harry L. Englebright Reservoir is on Yuba River about 20 miles northeast of city of Marysville. Dam is 260 feet high, 1,142 feet long, and reservoir has a debris storage capacity of 118 million cubic yards. Completed reservoirs are also utilized for recreational purposes; initial facilities were provided in fiscal year 1959. Recreation areas at Harry L. Englebright Reservoir are maintained by Corps of Engineers. Recreation areas at North Fork Reservoir are maintained and operated by Auburn Recreation Park and Park- way District. Total Federal cost of new work for construction of these reser- voirs was $4,646,872, including $40,000 for recreation facilities. Cost of recreational areas at North Fork Dam was $57,500. It is estimated (July 1964) that improvements to recreational areas will cost $446,000 for Harry L. Englebright Dam. Reservoir project sites on Middle Fork of American River and on Bear River are considered inactive and excluded from fore- going cost estimate. Estimated cost of this portion if $2,298,128 (1935). Existing project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of 1935 (Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 50, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). For latest published map, see project document. Act of November 6, 1945, provided that dam constructed at Upper Narrows site on Yuba River, Calif., should thereafter be Harry L. Englebright Dam. Local cooperation. Satisfactory assurances were furnished the Secretary of the Army for repayment of capital cost of reservoir from taxes on material hydraulically mined, under licenses, and impounded in these reservoirs. These funds are paid to Director of Internal Revenue then credited by Treasurer of the United States to Hydraulic Mining in California Debris fund. Improvements made to facilities at North Fork Dam and Reser- voir by Auburn Recreation Park and Parkway District under a lease agreement with Secretary of the Army and Auburn Boat Clubs (concessionaire) at an estimated cost of $36,000 since Sep- tember 1953. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Code 710 funds-Engineering studies relative to provision of additional recreational facilities at Joe Miller Ravine for Harry L. Engle- bright Reservoir were accomplished by hired labor. Maintenance: Ordinary maintenance and operation continued 1682 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 at Harry L. Englebright and North Fork Dams. Structures were maintained in a serviceable condition. No major repairs or re- placements were required. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of dams was initiated in 1937, and North Fork Dam and Reservoir was com- pleted and in use at end of fiscal year 1939 and Harry L. Engle- bright Dam and Reservoir was completed in January 1941. The two debris-control structures are in good condition. Public use of these reservoir recreational areas has more than doubled during past 5 years and greatly overtaxes present capacities. An existing contract with Pacific Gas & Electric Co. calls for payment to the Federal Government of $18,000 per year for first 30 years and $48,000 per year after that in return for use of head at Englebright dam and generation of hydroelectric power. Total payment through December 31, 1963, amounts to $378,100; these funds are paid to California Debris Commission and deposited for credit by Director of Internal Revenue to "Debris Fund."

TREATMENT OF YUBA RIVER DEBRIS SITUATION- RESTRAINING BARRIERS, CALIFORNIA Location. Works are on Yuba River between Marysville and where the river emerges from the foothills, near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See U. S. Geological Survey Topographic map of Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Existing project. Provides for storage of mining debris within riverbed of Yuba River, a nonnavigable stream, to keep such debris from passing into Feather and Sacramento Rivers to detriment of navigation therein. Improvement consists of a debris barrier, a 40-foot wide reinforced concrete stepped slab with up- stream and downstream cutoff walls; training walls 85,100 feet long which provide a 600-foot wide channel above and a 500-foot wide channel below dam; dikes across overflow channels; and protective works downstream to maintain Yuba River in its con- fined channel to its junction with Feather River at Marysville. Total cost of new work was $723,259, of which $361,482 was U.S. funds and $361,777 required contributed funds by State of Cali- fornia. (For details of project in its original form, see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810.) In February 1963, center section of dam failed and major re- RIVERS AND HARBORS - -CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 1683 habilitation of structure is underway. Latest approved estimate (July 1964) for required rehabilitation is $1,800,000, of which $900,000 is Federal cost and $900,000 is required contribution by State of California toward rehabilitation cost. Existing project was adopted in a rather indefinite form by River and Harbor Act of June 3, 1896, and in its more definite form byRiver and Harbor Act of June 13, 1902 (H. Doc. 431, 56th Cong., 1st sess.). (For latest published map, see U.S. Geological Survey topographic map of Sacramento Valley, Calif.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with for new work. Total first costs for new work were $361,777, all of which was required contribution by State of California. In addition, training walls were built on each bank below Daguerre Point for 11,250 feet and just above Daguerre Point, on the south bank, for 11,000 linear feet by two gold-dredging companies in connection with their dredging operations. It was estimated (1902) that it would have cost the United States $450,000 to build these training walls. Flood channels were also built by gold-dredging companies within the confines of the project works. It was estimated (1926) that cost of equally effective works to restrain debris movement would have been more than $776,000 to the United States. Senate Bill 1124 approved by the Governor May 24, 1963, (ch. 572), included authorization for expenditure up to $1,020,000 of State funds toward major rehabilitation of Daguerre Point Dam. State of California is required to contribute annually an amount equal to the Federal allotment for maintenance. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Op- erations included condition and operation studies, involving maintenance of gages and gage readings, and preparation of plans and specifications, by hired labor. In addition, bank protec- tion was accomplished by contract along Yuba River, both banks, vicinity of Simpson Lane in Yuba County, at a fiscal year cost of $136,775. Rehabilitation: Contract for rehabilitation of Daguerre Point Dam was initiated in July 1963; construction activities were sus- pended during November 2-7 and November 15-20, 1963, due to high water caused by heavy rains. Minimum construction meas- ures to provide for protection during 1963-1964 flood season were completed December 18, 1963; work is scheduled to be resumed during July 1964. Contract cost of this work during the fiscal year was $886,211, of which $443,106 were Federal costs and $443,105 required contributed costs. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project works was initiated in November 1902. Construction of Daguerre Point Dam was completed in May 1906; diversion of river over dam was completed in 1910; training walls and dikes were completed in 1935. At present time, about 140 million cubic yards of debris are held in lower 7 miles of Yuba River between Marysville and downstream end of training walls. About 20 million cubic yards are confined in river channel by Daguerre Point Dam. Additional millions of yards of loose material are in mine tailings fields ad- jacent to project training walls in upper 7 mile reach of project. 1684 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Rehabilitation of Daguerre Point Dam, initiated in July 1963, was suspended during December 1963 due to high water caused by heavy rains.

Approximately 980 miles of levee con- struction, with an average height of 15 feet, and 98 miles of bank protection are involved in project. For further details, see Annual Report for 1962, page 2115. Latest approved estimate (July 1964) of cost for existing proj- ect (exclusive of above supplemental levee improvements), in- cluding new work and maintenance, is $163,900,000, of which $68,900,000 is Federal cost. Non-Federal cost included in the above amount is $95 million ($90,050,562 for lands and damages and °relocations and $4,949,438 required contributed funds for levee construction, bank-protection works, and levee setbacks). Of this amount $4,939,752 was for new work and $9,686 for maintenance. In addition to project requirements, local interests constructed several pumping plants for drainage of agricultural and urban land protected by project levees. Also, some channel- clearing work was accomplished by State of California and other local interests to supplement project levee construction. Dredging below Cache Slough and reconstruction of Cache Creek settling basin weir are considered deferred and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of these project units, revised July 1962, was $2,560,000 and $520,000, respec- tively, a total of $3,080,000, plus Government costs, for construc- tion. Operation and maintenance of project after completion will be responsibility of local interests; as units of project are com- pleted they are transferred to agencies of State of California for operation and maintenance. Existing project was adopted by Flood Control Act of March 1, 1917 (H. Doc. 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 5, 63d Cong., 1st sess.), and modi- fied by Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928 (S.Doc. 23, 69th Cong., 1st sess.), River and Harbor Act of August 26, 1937 (S.Commit- tee print 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and Flood Control Act of August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 205, 77th Cong., 1st sess). Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied with requirements for all work completed or under contract, and indi- cated they will be able to fulfill local cooperation requirements for remaining work as scheduled. Local interests' costs from required contributed funds for project work total $4,949,438 for levee construction, bank-protection works and levee setbacks, of which $4,939,752 was for new work and $9,686 for maintenance. Operationsand results during fiscal year.

U.S. ARMY ENGINEER WATERWAYS EXPERIMENT STATION Organizationand functions. The Chief of Engineers, by letter dated June 18, 1929, to the President of the Mississippi River Commission, directed establishment of a hydraulic laboratory in the alluvial valley of the Mississippi. This institution is the Waterways Experiment Station with installations at Vicksburg and Jackson, Miss. It was initially established in 1929, under jurisdiction of President, Mississippi River Commission. By Gen- eral Order 9, Office, Chief of Engineers, July 29, 1949, the station was transferred to direct jurisdiction of Chief of Engineers, effective August 10, 1949. Col. Alex G. Sutton, Jr., Corps of Engineers, is Director. The organization is principal field agency of Corps of Engineers for conduct of engineering research, development, and investi- gational activities inl technical fields of hydraulics, ground mobil- ity, environments, flexible pavements, soils other than those phases involving seasonal frost and permafrost, nuclear weapons effects on structures, terrain and waterways, and concrete other than those phases relating to design and construction of rigid pavements. On a reimbursable basis, Waterways Experiment Sta- tion performs experimental studies, applied research, and pro- vides consulting service, pertaining to problems encountered throughout the Corps of Engineers as are within its broad capa- bilities in its assigned fields. Such services include model and prototype studies, engineering and analytical design studies, lab- oratory research concerning portland cement and bituminous con- crete mixture design, laboratory testing, and field investigations. Field investigation services include planning, accomplishment, and analysis of: Comprehensive exploration of soil and rock forma- tions; the effect of physical features of the environment on ground mobility and other military activities; instrumentation systems to measure water velocities and directions and to determine pres- sures, deflections, and strains in engineering structures; teleme- try systems, principally for hydrologic data; and field inspection services including establishment of control laboratories and training field personnel. Subject to approval by Chief of Engi- neers, studies can also be undertaken for other agencies. Waterways Experiment Station also provides a central research service to assemble, analyze, and disseminate experimental data of importance to the Corps of Engineers, particularly in, but not necessarily limited to, fields covered by hydraulics, soils, and con- crete divisions. In connection with this fact-disseminating serv- ice, the station maintains an extensive scientific reference library and issues publications of general interest, and can aid materially in eliminating duplication of effort throughout the Corps of En- gineers in the conduct of experimental studies. During fiscal year 1964, one annual summary, 131 reports of individual studies con- ducted at Waterways Experiment Station, 10 translations, and 105 miscellaneous publications for Waterways Experiment Station 1689 1690 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 and other offices were distributed to Corps of Engineers offices and interested outside agencies. In addition, editing and printing units completed approximately 900 miscellaneous assignments for Waterways Experiment Station and other offices. Operations and results during fiscal year. Work accomplished at Waterways Experiment Station is, in general, initially financed by revolving fund, reimbursement therefor being obtained di- rectly from agencies for whom work is performed. Cost for opera- tion of station for fiscal year 1964 was $13,760,253, of which $12,638,280 was charged to establishments served for research investigations and related services, and $1,121,973 for permanent improvements. Of the reimbursable work, $4,778,860 was charged to civil funds, $7,822,465 to military funds, and $36,955 to non- governmental agencies. Total cost incurred for operation of Waterways Experiment Station to June 30, 1964, was $118,120,- 023, of which $110,029,037 represents reimbursable cost and $8,090,986 the unamortized cost of permanent improvements and equipment. PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NAVIGATION CONGRESSES The United States by act of June 28, 1902, appropriated $3,000 a year for support and maintenance of the Permanent Internation- al Commission of Navigation Congresses and for payment of the actual expenses of properly accredited national delegates of the United States to meetings of the Congresses and Commission. An increase in the appropriation to $5,000 annually was author- ized by River and Harbor Act of June 30, 1948. Of this amount, $1,500 is paid by the American Section directly to the International Association with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. The objec- tive of the Association-to promote the progress of inland and maritime navigation-is met by holding International Congresses and publishing technical bulletins and other documents. The Congresses are held in various member countries, usually at 4- year intervals. The association is supported principally by member nations, but membership also extends to corporations and individuals. Mem- ber nations and international organizations are represented at the Congresses and at meetings of the Permanent International Commission by delegates, the number of official delegates being based on the amount of the annual subsidy paid by the govern- ment, or organization, but not to exceed 10 in number. Corporate members may send two official representatives to the Congresses. Individual membership is of two classes: Annual and Life, de- pending on the method of payment of dues. The affairs of the Association are managed by the Permanent International Commission composed of delegates from the sup- porting governments and international organizations. In the past a Permanent Council assisted the International Commission. At its annual meeting on June 2, 1964, the Commission, upon adopting the revised edition of the regulations, abolished the Council. The U.S. members of the Permanent International Commission com- prise the National Commission, which is the governing body of the American Section. Director of Civil Works, Office of the Chief of Engineers, U.S. Army, and Resident Member of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors are ex officio Chair- man and Secretary, respectively, of the National Commission. Two members of the National Commission also served as mem- bers of the Permanent Council. The Chairman, Secretary, and two Council Members were the officers of the American Section. The Secretary handles all administrative matters of the American Section. During fiscal year 1964, U.S. members of the Permanent Inter- national Commission were Maj. Gen. Jackson Graham, USA, ex officio Chairman of the National Commission; Col. Edmund H. Lang, CE-USA, ex officio Secretary; Brig. Gen. Herbert D. Vogel, USA (Ret.), Engineer Adviser, Technical Operations Di- vision, International Bank for Reconstruction and Development; Mr. Carl B. Jansen, Chairman of the Board, Dravo Corp.; Maj. Gen. 1691 1692 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Kenneth D. Nichols, USA (Ret.), consulting engineer; Maj. Gen. Charles G.

The United States was represented at meetings of International Oil Tankers Commission in Hamburg, Germany, in October 1963, and in Lisbon, Portugal, in April 1964, by Mr. Harry G. Schad, Vice Chairman and General Manager-Transportation, The Atlantic Refining Co., Philadelphia, and Chairman of U.S. Subcommittee of the International Commission. Membership of American Section on June 30, 1964, totaled 826, consisting of 754 individuals and 72 corporate members. Federal funds from annual appropriation were expended as follows: Annual U.S. contribution to the Association .................... $1,500 Expenses of representatives to meeting in Switzerland .............. 2,923 Total obligations ....................................... 4,423 INVESTIGATIONS AND SUPERVISION OF PROJECTS UNDER FEDERAL WATER POWER ACT Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created the Federal Power Commission, composed of Secretaries of War, Interior, and Agriculture, with authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric developments in all waters over which Congress has jurisdiction. The act further required that work of the Commis- sion be performed by and through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture, and their engineering, technical, and other personnel except as may be otherwise provided by law. By act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An Act to reorganize the Fed- eral Power Commission," sections 1 and 2 of Federal Water Power Act of 1920 were amended. A commission was provided for to be composed of five commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Necessity of performing work through the Departments of War, Interior, and Agriculture was removed and the Commission authorized to ap- point such officers and employees as necessary in executing its functions. By title II, Public Utility Act of 1935, original Federal Water Power Act was made part I of Federal Power Act, and parts II and III added to that act. The law also provides that no waterpower license affecting navi- gable capacity of any navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and Secretary of the Army. There is further provision whereby any person or corporation intending to construct project works in any stream over which Congress has jurisdiction, other than navigable waters, shall file a declaration of intention for purpose of ascer- taining whether or not jurisdiction of the Federal Power Com- mission will attach. The following work of an engineering nature was assigned and accomplished during the fiscal year: Plans approved by Chief of Engineers and Secretary of the Army in accordance with sec. 4(e) of Federal Water Power Act .......... 27 Reports submitted on applications for preliminary permits or licenses or amendments thereto ................................... 134 Licenses and permits under supervision .......................... 9 Necessary expenses in excess of nominal amounts for trans- portation and subsistance of personnel engaged in investiga- tions and cost of supervision under provisions of Federal Power Act are paid from appropriations made for Federal Power Commission. All other costs of administration of laws in ques- tion are paid from funds available for general expense of the Corps of Engineers. No expenses were paid from appropriations made for Federal Power Commission during the fiscal year. 1693 MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS In addition to the work of improving rivers and harbors, civil works of a miscellaneous character as indicated below have been committed to the Corps of Engineers.

These Boards are as follows: INTERNATIONAL ST. CROIX RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board was organized in 1915 pursuant to conditions in the orders of the International Joint Commission approving maintenance and operation of the dam built by the St. Croix Water Power Co. and Sprague Falls Manu- facturing Co., Ltd. across St. Croix River at Grand Falls, Maine, and subsequent agreements reached between the Governments of the United States and the Dominion of Canada. The Board is charged with the duty of formulating and ad- ministering rules under which the powerplant and accessories are to be operated to prevent as nearly as possible a level of water at the dam higher than 203.5 (mean sea level datum), and to secure the users of water below Grand Falls the flow of water to which they are entitled. The Board is also charged with the supervision of the operation of all fishways on that portion of St. Croix River that forms the international boundary. On October 2, 1934, the International Joint Commission issued an order approving reconstruction of the dam, by the Canadian Cottons, Ltd. extending across St. Croix River from Milltown, New Brunswick, to Milltown, Maine, which contained the fol- lowing conditions: (a) That reconstructed dam be operated to insure that the forebay levels rise to no higher elevation than that which has heretofore obtained in the operation of the dam now being replaced; (b) that during times of flood the sluiceways of the dam shall be sufficiently open to insure passage of riverflow; and (c) that operation of the dam, insofar as is necessary to insure observance of provisions of this Order, be under the super- vision of the International St. Croix River Board of Control. Members of the Board. The members of the board for fiscal year 1964 were, Mr. J. E. Peters, District Engineer, Water Resources Division, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, Halifax, Nova Scotia, serving as Canadian member, MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1697 and Brig. Gen. Peter C. Hyzer, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, Division Engineer, New England, serving as U.S. member. Operations during fiscal year. Supervision was maintained and inspections made by representatives of the Canadian and United States members to insure that the regulations of the International Joint Commission was carried out. On August 28, 1963, the U.S. representative and the Canadian Member made a joint inspection of Grand Falls and Milltown Dams and con- ferred with members of the Georgia Pacific Co. in Woodland, Maine, and The New Brunswick Electric Power Commission in Milltown, New Brunswick. Grand Falls Dam was inspected in some detail. Further deteriorating conditions of the concrete face and curtain wall were noted. Flashboard stanchions were at the site ready for installation and the company reports that the required replacements will be made when conditions permit. In May the Board of Control met with the International St. Croix River Engineering Board to discuss a proposal by the Georgia Pacific Co. to reconstruct Vanceboro Dam. The Board of Control is assisting the Engineering Board in its review of the application. INTERNATIONAL LAKE MEMPHREMAGOG BOARD Constitution and duties. Lake Memphremagog is in northern Vermont and southeastern Quebec and has its outlet Magog River in Canada. In 1920, a petition filed by city of Newport, and towns of Derby, Coventry, and Barton, Vt., alleged they had been harmed by high lake levels attributable to construction and operation of power plants on the Magog River. As a result, an international body composed of one engineer each from the United States and Canada entitled "International Lake Memphremagog Board" was appointed to consider the matter and submit a joint report to each Government as to the level or levels at which Lake Memphremagog should so far as possible, be maintained. At the request of local interests, consideration of the problem was suspended until 1931 when a survey was made. Subsequently, a joint report by the two members of the Board, dated May 14, 1934, was submitted to their respective Governments. This report recommended that the levels of the lake under normal flow conditions range between an upper elevation of 682.70 feet above mean sea level (Geodetic Survey of Canada, 1923 adjust- ment), and a lower limit of 678.85 feet above the same datum. During flood conditions, the sluiceways of the dam shall be so operated as to reduce the flood water elevations to the normal regulated level of 682.70 as rapidly as possible. The Board was reactivated in August 1960 as a result of a complaint on July 20, 1959, by a resident of Newport, Vt., con- cerning high lake levels due to alleged improper operation of the powerplant. Members of the Board. Members of the Board for fiscal year 1964 were Mr. J. D. McLeod, Chief Engineer, Operations Divi- sion, Water Resources Branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, for Canada and Col. M. M. Miletich, District Engineer, New York District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the United States. 1698 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Operations during the year. None.

Gates have been installed but have not been operated, pending excavation of the natural river channel up- stream from the dam. INTERNATIONAL ST. LAWRENCE RIVER BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. International St. Lawrence River Board of Control was appointed in February 1954 pursuant to provisions of Order of Approval dated October 29, 1952, issued by the International Joint Commission of construction of certain works for development of International Rapids Section of St. Law- rence River. The Commission instructed the Board to perform the duties assigned to it by Order of Approval of October 29, 1952. These responsibilities include: (a) Board of Control is to determine MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1699 the gages, measurements, and other services to be provided by the Power Authority of the State of New York and the Hydro- Electric Power Commission of Ontario in order to furnish accu- rate records relating to water levels and the discharge of water through the works and the regulation of the flow of water through the International Rapids Section; (b) Upon completion of the works the duties of the Board shall be to insure that pro- visions of the Commission's Orders relating to water levels and regulation of the discharge of water from Lake Ontario and the flow of water through the International Rapids Section are com- plied with, and the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and the Power Authority of the State of New York shall duly observe any direction given them by the Board of Control for the purpose of insuring such compliance. The Board of Control shall report to the Commission at such times as the Commission may determine; (c) In addition to the reports to be made to the Commission in accordance with the terms of the Orders of Approval, the Board was requested to report at the Commission's semiannual meetings and also to keep the Commission currently informed with regard to the discharge of water from Lake On- tario and the flow through the International Rapids Section of the St. Lawrence River. At a meeting of the International Joint Commission in Toronto on January 25, 1957, studies of the regulation of Lake Ontario, in furtherance of such studies accomplished by the International Lake Ontario Board of Engineers, were assigned the International St. Lawrence River Board of Control. Members of the Board. The Canadian members of the Board for fiscal year 1964 weee: T. M. Patterson, Director, Water Resources Branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, Chairman of the Canadian Section; J. B. Bryce, Hydraulic Engineer, Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario; Y. DeGuise, Quebec Hydro-Electric Commission; and D. M.

Colonel Boucher served as Division Engineer until April 1964 when he was succeeded by the present U.S. Member, Brig. Gen. Roy T. Dodge. Activities of the Board during fiscal year. The Board met in Montreal July 18, 1963; in Ottawa October 1-3 1963; presented its Twentieth Progress Report to the Commission in Ottawa October 3, 1963; met in New York City December 12-13, 1963; 1700 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 in Montreal on March 17, 1964; in Washington, D. C., on April 6, 1964, presented its Twenty-First Progress Report to the Com- mission in Washington, D.C., on April 8, 1964; and met in Chi- cago on June 22, 1964. The Board of Control approved the Eighteenth and Nineteenth reports by the Committee on River Gaging, formerly a joint committee of the Board of Control and the St. Lawrence River Joint Board of Engineers. The Board of Control, on being in- formed that the Joint Board of Engineers would not be re- presented on the Joint Working Committee after October 25, 1963, elected to continue its functions as a Committee of the Board to provide and maintain a comprehensive program for recording river levels and flows. The Power Entities have in- stalled the necessary gages requested to date and the required records are being obtained. The Committee on River Gaging keeps the Board of Control advised regarding the gaging pro- gram. During the year the levels and outflows of Lake Ontario con- tinued to be regulated in accordance with International Joint Commission directive of April 8, 1960, that, commencing on April 20, 1960, the St. Lawrence project be so operated as to conform to the criteria and other requirements of the Com- mission's Orders of Approval dated October 29, 1952, and July 2, 1956. In exercise of discretionary authority granted the Board by the International Joint Commission, the Board stored 115,000 cubic feet per second-weeks of water on Lake Ontario during the spring in addition to that which would have obtained without deviation from the regulation plan. The additional storage will be dissipated during the present navigation season to provide benefits during a period of continuing deficiency in supply. The weekly regulated lake outflows adhered closely to the ap- proved regulation plan 1958-D. Except for the fact that the Lake Ontario stage did not reach the specified April 1, level until about April 5, there were no violations of the approved range of Lake Ontario stages or any of the approved operating criteria. On April 1, the Lake Ontario level was 0.1 foot below the level specified for that date. INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board was established August 19, 1953, by directive of the International Joint Commission to supervise construction, maintenance, and operation of the Nia- gara Remedial Works, recommended by the International Joint Commission in its 1953 report "Preservation and Enhancement of Niagara Falls." Members of the Board. The Board consists of four members, two representing the United States and two representing Canada. During fiscal year 1964 the U.S. Members of the Board were the Division Engineer U.S. Army Engineer Division, North Centeral, Corps of Engineers, Chairman, ex-officio, U.S. Section; and W. R. Farley, Chief, Licensed Projects Division, Bureau of MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1701 Power, Federal Power Commission, until his retierment from Federal service and subsequent replacement on August 19, 1963 by Thomas M. Crum, Deputy to the Chief, Division of Licensed Projects, Federal Power Commission Brig. Gen. W. C. Gribble, Jr., was Division Engineer until November 1963 when he was succeeded by Col. Jeff W. Boucher. Colonel Boucher served as Division Engineer until April 1964 when he was succeeded by the present U.S. Member, Brig. Gen. Roy T. Dodge. The Canadian Members of the Board during the year were T. M. Patterson, Director, Water Resources Branch, Department of Northen Af- fairs and National Resources, Chairman of the Canadian Section and Gerald Millar, Chief Engineer, Harbours and Rivers Engine- ering Branch, Department of Public Works. Activities during the fiscal year. Work was completed on the additional remedial works authorized by the Commission in its Order of Approval of August 15, 1961. The excavation by the Power Entities to reduce elevation of a shoal in the Niagara River near Tower Island, authorized by the Commission in its Order of Approval of May 17, 1963, was completed and the cofferdam removed by December 9, 1963. An access ramp from the U.S. end of the control structure to Tower Island was left in place on a trial basis for the 1963-64 winter. In an Order of Approval dated June 9, 1964, the Commission authorized the Power Entities to construct and operate, on a test basis, an ice boom near the outlet of Lake Erie to reduce the discharge of ice into the Niagara River. Construction com- menced early in August 1964 and the boom will be in place prior to the 1964-65 winter season. During the fiscal year the gates in the control structure were operated to maintain the pool within the limits set by the Board. On days when there are ice runs or storms the normal operating limits for the Chippawa-Grass Island pool may be suspended temporarily and, under such circumstances, the Power Entities diverting water from the pool are expected to use their best judgment in operating the gates. The Board, assisted by regular reports from its Working Com- mittee, closely observed the operation of the control structure to assure that operation of the structure was in accordance with the Board's instructions. The Board encountered no unusual maintenance problems during the year. INTERNATIONAL NIAGARA COMMITTEE Constitution and duties. The treaty of 1950 between Canada and the United States concerning the uses of waters of the Niagara River was signed February 27, 1950. By its provisions, limitations on the diversions of Niagara River water for power in accordance with article V of the treaty of 1909 are terminated and temporary international agreements for the allocation of waters of the Niagara River for power purposes are replaced. In accordance with provisions of article VII of the 1950 Treaty, a representative was appointed by each government who, acting jointly, shall ascertain and determine the amounts of water avail- 1702 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 able for the purposes of this treaty, and shall record the same and shall also record the amounts of water used for power diver- sions. By an exchange of notes during January 1955, the two governments officially designated the representatives appointed in conformance with article VII of the 1950 Treaty as the International Niagara Committee. With regard to flows and diversions, the Treaty of 1950 be- came effective October 10, 1950. Under terms of the treaty, all waters in excess of certain minimum flows which are required to maintain the scenic spectacle at Niagara Falls are available for diversion for power and, with the exception of the 5,000 cubic feet per second authorized October 1940 for diversion by Canada, are to be allocated equally between both countries. How- ever, pending availability of sufficient installed capacity on one side of the river to utilize all of its share of the water, the unused portion of its share of the water may be utilized in spare capacity on the other side. Minimum flows over the falls shall be not less than 100,000 cubic feet per second between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., e.s.t., from April 1 to September 15, and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. from September 16 to October 31. At all other times the flow over the falls shall be not less than 50,000 cubic feet per second. A brief history regarding the measurement and supervision of diversion of waters from the Niagara River prior to the des- ignation of the representatives appointed under article VII of the 1950 Treaty as the International Niagara Committee is in- cluded in Annual Report for 1955. Members of the Committee. The Committee consists of two members, one representing Canada and one representing the United States. During fiscal year 1964 the Canadian representa- tive was T. M. Patterson, Director, Water Resources Branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, Ot- tawa, and the U.S. representative, ex-officio, was the Division Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, North Central, Corps of Engineers. Brig. Gen. W. C. Gribble, Jr., was Division En- gineer until November 1963 when he was succeeded by Col. Jeff W. Boucher. Colonel Boucher served as Division Engineer until April 1964, when he was succeeded by the present U.S. Member, Brig. Gen. Roy T. Dodge. Operations during the fiscal year. The Committee received daily reports of operation of the hydro-electric generating stations on the Niagara River which diverted water from the river above the falls, and the DeCew Falls plant, which diverts water from Lake Erie through the Welland Canal. These reports, submitted in the form prescribed by the Committee and showing for each hour the quantities of water diverted by each plant, were checked by the Committee. Monthly and annual summaries were pre- pared. The Committee included with each monthly summary an explanation of any treaty violation which may have occurred during the month. Biweekly and intermittent inspections of all plants were made by representatives of the Committee jointly and individually to MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1703 obtain independent watt meter readings of power output. Rec- ords of water levels in the Niagara River above and below the falls were obtained by means of self-registering gages. INTERNATIONAL LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board, established in pursuance of orders issued by the International Joint Commission May 26 and 27, 1914, is charged with the supervision of the operations of all compensating works and all power canals and appurte- nances with a view to so controlling the outflow from Lake Superior as to maintain its level as nearly as may be between elevations 600.5 and 602 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum-1955) and to so controlling the outflow as to prevent the level of the St. Marys River below the locks from exceeding elevation 582.9. Members of the Board. The members of the Board for fiscal year 1964 were T. M. Patterson, Director, Water Resources Branch, Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources, for Canada; and the Division Engineer U.S. Army Engineer Division, North Central, ex officio, for the United States. Brig. Gen. W. C. Gribble was Division Engineer until November 1963, when he was succeeded by Col. J. W. Boucher. Col. Boucher served as Division Engineer until April 1964, when he was succeeded by the present U.S. Member, Brig. Gen. Roy T. Dodge. Operations during the fiscal year. The Board kept in touch during the year with conditions pertaining to the regulation of Lake Superior through representatives of Canada and the United States on the ground and by means of regular and systematic reports of the water levels on Lake Superior in the St. Marys River above and below the Sault locks, and on Lake Huron. Records of discharge at Sault Ste. Marie through the rapids, navigation canals, and powerplants were also systematically re- ported to the Board. Changes in the rate of outflow from Lake Superior are directed by the Board as indicated by the rule curve currently in use. During the year the Board continued the use of the modified plan of operation under the rule of 1949 for the regulation of Lake Superior. Since April 1964, in recognition of the deficient supply situation in the Great Lakes area and of the relatively higher level of Lake Superior with respect to low-water datum than Lakes Michigan and Huron, the Board with the approval of the International Joint Commission, allowed a higher out- flow from Lake Superior than that provided for by the plan of regulation. The higher flows will be continued so long as Lake Superior remains relatively high and the supplies to the lower lakes remain deficient. A joint inspection of the compensating works was made No- vember 6, 1963, by representatives of the Canadian and U.S. mem- bers of the Board and the condition of the works was found to be satisfactory. LAKE OF THE WOODS WATERSHED Members of International Lake of the Woods Control Board, International Rainy Lake Board of Control, and International 1704 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1964 Prairie Portage Board of Control for fiscal year were J. D. McLeod, for Canada, Col. William B. Strandberg, Corps of Engineers, for the United States through July 31, 1963, and Lt. Col. Leslie B. Harding after that date. INTERNATIONAL LAKE OF THE WOODS CONTROL BOARD The Convention between the United States and Great Britain proclaimed July 17, 1925, provides for the regulation of the level of the Lake of the Woods in order to secure to the inhabitants of the United States and Canada the most advantageous use of the waters thereof, and of the waters flowing into and from the lake on each side of the boundary between the two countries. The Convention also provides for the establishment and main- tenance of a Canadian Lake of the Woods Control Board to regulate and control outflow of waters of the lake, and for estab- lishment and maintenance of an International Lake of the Woods Control Board, composed of two engineers, one representing the United States and the other representing Canada, to whose ap- proval the rate of total discharge shall be subject whenever the elevation rises above elevation 1061 or falls below elevation 1055, level datum. seaOperations during the fiscal year. Supervision was maintained to insure that every effort was being made to comply with the provisions of the Convention. INTERNATIONAL RAINY LAKE BOARD OF CONTROL The Convention between United States and Canada, ratified by U.S. Senate August 30, 1940, provides in part that: "The International Joint Commission*** is hereby clothed with power to determine when emergency conditions exist in the Rainy Lake watershed, whether by reason of high or low water, and the Commission is hereby empowered to adopt such measures of control as to it may seem proper with respect to existing dams at Kettle Falls and International Falls, as well as with respect to any existing or future dams or works in boundary waters of the Rainy Lake watershed, in the event the Commission shall determine that such emergency conditions exist." On June 8, 1949, the Commission issued an order to the owners of dams at outlet of Namakan Lake and Rainy Lake, which pro- vided for a method of regulation as recommended by International Rainy Lake Board of Control. Order provides for certain levels during the various seasons of the year as well as control of outflows, with view to securing most advantageous use of water in total to the various interests. A supplementary order dated October 1, 1957, modified regulations for Namakan Lake to pro- vide for some variation in operation based on anticipated spring runoff. This supplementary order was extended for an additional 5 years to October 30, 1967, by action of the International Joint Commission on October 2, 1962. Operations during the fiscal year. Basic data were compiled and engineering reports submitted to the Commission. MISCELLANEOUS CIVIL WORKS 1705 INTERNATIONAL PRAIRIE PORTAGE BOARD OF CONTROL Prairie Portage Board of Control was formed by International Joint Commission for purpose of furnishing it with technical advice regarding suitability of dam structure at Prairie Portage, Lake County, Minn. After approval of plans by Department of the Army, and International Joint Commission, the Board has been retained to advise the Commission further regarding prog- ress of construction and any other matters which might arise concerning this project. U.S. Forest Service constructed a cofferdam before World War II but postponed work on the project during the war. Work has not been resumed except that repairs have been made to cofferdam from time to time, as needed, to maintain stages on chain of lakes above. INTERNATIONAL KOOTENAY LAKE BOARD OF CONTROL Constitution and duties. The Board was organized to secure compliance with the provisions of the orders of the International Joint Commission dated November 11, 1938, and August 5, 1949, relating to the construction and operation of control works by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada, Ltd., through the West Kootenay Power and Light Co., Ltd., in and adjacent to the channel of the Kootenay River, and regulation of the levels of Kootenay Lake in the Province of British Columbia.
