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 areas. 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 performed for navigational improvements at Black Rock Harbor.

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 Ne' England Division. During periods of floodflows regulation of reservoirs is fully coordinated within each basin dependent upOn FLOOD CONTROL--NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 115 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: The West Hill Reservoir was regu- lated in February and March 1965 to facilitate construction of channel improvements at Woonsocket, R.I. About 10 percent of the flood control storage was used in each regulation. Connecticut River Basin: Surry Mountain, Townshend, and Tully Reservoirs were regulated in April 1965. About 11 percent of the flood control storage was used in each project. No signifi- cant regulation was required at other reservoirs in the basin. Housatonic and Merrimack River Basins: No significant regu- lation was required. Thames River Basin: No significant regulation was required. Releases were made from conservation storage at East Brimfield Reservoir to augment low flows in July, August, September and October 1964. Fiscal year cost for reservoir regulation was 113,200. 62.

Location. This stream empties into a shallow bay in the north shore of East River, 11 miles by water northeast of the Battery, New York City. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 226.) Previous project. For details see Annual Report for 1915, page 1762, and Annual Report for 1938, page 166. Existing project. Provides for a channel 10 feet deep at mean low water and 100 feet wide, to extend from deep water in East River to the head of navigation at the dam at East 177th Street, involving the first dredging from East River at Randall Avenue to a width of 200 feet; thence to Spofford Avenue, 150 feet; thence to Watson Avenue, 125 feet; thence to the railroad bridge near Westchester Avenue, 100 feet, except in southern approach to bridge, where it is to be 140 feet. Section included in project is about 2.4 miles long. Mean tidal range is 6.9 feet in the est u ary; mean range of spring tides, 8.2 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 4 feet below mean low water up to 8.5 feet above mean high water. Cost for new work for completed active portion of project as described above was $1,080,910, exclusive of amounts expended under pre- vious projects, and exclusive of $10,000 contributed by local interests. Channel widening from Westchester Avenue to East 172d Street is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing description of existing project and cost estimate. Estimated cost of this portion (1953) is $299,000. Existing project was adopted bY 1913 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 897, 62d Cong., 2d sess.)* For latest published map, see Annual Report for 1912, page 1470. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1913, provides that any right-of-way that may be necessary for the execution of the project shall be furnished free of cost to the United States. Right-of-way within bulkhead lines below West- chester Avenue Bridge was accepted by Chief of Engineers June 9, 1920, and above the Westchester Avenue Bridge October 4, 1928. On September 10, 1940, the Chief of Engineers approved releases from damages furnished by adjoining property owners in reach of river between Westchester Avenue and East 1 7 4th Street. On November 12, 1940, the Chief of Engineers approved an agreement under which city of New York would reimburse the United States for cost of a retaining wall to protect adjoinifl property in reach of river beween Westchester Avenue and NeWv York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad bridge in lieu of furnish ing additional right-of-way. On October 28, 1940, the Sec're tary of War authorized the acceptance of $10,000 from the city of New York to defray the cost of the retaining wall. Additional right-of-way required in the section below East 172d Street ias not been furnished. City of New York indicated it does not feel justified in acquiring any additional land along the river. Terminal facilities. There are 17 terminals with 3,600 feet of bulkheads and wharves available for dockage, located along the east and west banks from Randall Avenue to East 173d Street. One of the terminals is publicly owned, five are equipped with mechanical handling devices. Additional terminals with rod* RIVERS AND HARBORS -NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 121 ern facilities will be needed when existing project is developed. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a proposed contract for dredging to restore 10-foot project depth in channel downstream from Westchester Avenue bridge, $369 was expended including $338 for engineering preliminary to dredging for main- tenance. Reconnaissance surveys cost $109. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under entire existing Droject is about 82 percent complete. Active portion of existing roject was commenced in 1914 and completed in 1941. A Channel to project dimensions was completed from deep water in Bast River up to the Westchester Avenue Bridge in 1926. A Channel 10 feet deep and 65 to 123 feet wide from Westchester AVenue Bridge to East 174th Street was completed in 1941. for Controlling mean low water depth (Feb.--Mar. 1964) was 10 feet Widths varying from 100 to 40 feet from East River to ruckner Blvd. Bridge, thence 8 feet for widths varying from 100 to 40 feet to 750 feet downstream from Westchester Avenue idge, thence 6 feet for widths varying from 100 to 30 feet to estchester Avenue Bridge, thence 5 feet for 30 feet wide to the NevinYork New Haven and Harford Railroad Bridge. Work re- tee ing under existing project consists of widening reach be- Pheen Westchester Avenue Bridge and East 172d Street. ieannel between East 172d Street and the upper limit of author- ized project was filled in by city of New York under a Department athe Army permit, and is no longer a waterway.

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 breakwater, work was commenced July 24, 1962, and completed April 19, 1965. Placed 16,573 tons of stone at cost of $381,183, including $1,814 for engineering preliminarY to repairs for rehabilitation. Placement does not include 8,800 tons of stone which exceeded allowed tolerance for which payment was not made. Reconnaissance survey cost $109. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was practi' cally 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.

Area included under this project comprises Coast of Long Island, N.Y., between Fire Island Inlet .and Atlantic Jones Inlet, 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 miles by water south and east of the Battery, Island, about 37 and connects Hempstead Bay and the Atlantic New york CitY, Ocean. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 578 and 579.) Existing project. Provides for Federal participation ration and protection of shore from Fire Island in rest- to Jones Inlets dredging inlet shoal in Fire Island Inlet and constructionletsof bY 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 tially provided for three dredging operations over a period of ini- 10 years, but was reduced to two, based on subsequently authorized BEACH EROSION CONTROL--NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 173 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 1962 River and Harbor Act enacted after completion of first increment, which modified Fed- eral 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 incre- ment was evaluated at 67.9 percent. Project, as modified, provides for combined beach erosion con- trol and navigation improvements comprising a 1,000-foot exten- slon of the existing jetty, a littoral reservoir with a capacity of 1,200,000 cubic yards west of the jetty, a navigation channel 28 feet deep and 500 feet wide leading from the littoral reservoir to a deposition reservoir inside the inlet with a capacity of 2 million cubic yards, and other appurtenant works including jetty modi- fications to permit fishermen use, and dikes. Estimated Federal share of participation is 66.1 percent of the first cost of the proj- ect modification. Periodic transfer of littoral drift involving the bypassing of 1,200,000 cubic yards of sand on the average of once every 2 years to a feeder beach over the economic life of the Project, serving both maintenance of the navigation channel and nourishment of the beaches westerly of the inlet, is included in annual maintenance. Project is also known as "Fire Island Inlet to Jones Inlet, N.Y." Mean range of tide is 4.1 feet. Total estimated Federal cost of new work is $13,387,000 (July 1965), of which $2,687,000 is for work authorized by 1958 River and l1arbor Act (H. Doc. 411, 84th Cong., 2d sess.), and $10,700,000 for modification authorized by 1962 River and Harbor Act (in accordance with plans in H. Doc. 115, 89th Cong.,. 1st sess. as approved by the Secretary of the Army and the President on ebruary 20, 1965). Project documents contain latest published maps., Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1958 provides local interests obtain approval by Chief of Engineers, before starting work on any feature of project, of detailed plans and saecifications and arrangements for prosecuting work on that feature; provide lands, and rights-of-way; hold the United States free from damages; assure that water polution that would en- danger health of bathers will not be permitted; assure mainte- nance 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 174 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 State Park Commission of State of New York, cooperating agency, entered into an agreement which with United is the States August 21, 1958, as modified November February 1, 1962, in which the agency adopted plan 18, 1959, and of improve- ment for beach erosion control authorized by Congress to furnish its share of cost, and comply with all other and agreed require- ments of local cooperation. By letter dated October 7, cooperating agency requested United States to undertake 1958, supervise construction of first increment of work.

SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS John H. Kerr and Philpott Reservoir projects, Roanoke River Basin, Va. and N.C. Both projects began the fiscal year with the reservoirs below rule curve. Kerr was 7 feet below rule curve and continued to drop to a low of 291.67 feet or 9 feet below rule curve on August 28. It refilled to rule curve by mid-October and remained above rule curve most of the remainder of the year. It Was at elevation 300.82 feet on June 30. Philpott was 16 feet be- low rule curve at beginning of the year but gradually refilled to rule curve by late November. It remained near rule curve the remainder of the year, and was at elevation 973.30 feet 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 21 days and 15 feet for 9 days. All inflows to the reservoirs were controlled with normal power operation so flood control operation Was not necessary although floods did occur in July and August at Philpott which would have required flood control operation if the reservoir had been at rule curve at the beginning of the storms. Total cost of functional operation for fiscal year was $813,034 for John H. Kerr and $252,754 for Philpott. 38. SURVEYS Fiscal year cost was $226,550, of which $60,525 was for navi- gation studies; $145,295 for flood control studies; $143 for beach erosion studies; $19,044 for hurricane studies; and $1,543 for coordination with other agencies. 39. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA Flood plain information studies are authorized by section 206, 1960 Flood Control Act comprise compilation and dissemination, Upon the request of a State or a responsible local governmental agency, of information on floods and potential flood damages, in- cluding identification of areas subject to inundation by floods of Various magnitudes and frequencies, and general criteria for guidance in use of flood plain areas; and engineering advice to local interests for their use in planning to ameliorate flood hazard.

Operations and results during year. Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, Department of Interior, working under a Memoran- dum of Agreement with the Charleston District continued re- search work to determine effects of various herbicides on fish and wildlife. Limited field test operations were conducted on alli- gatorweed in Lake Marion of the Santee-Cooper project under contract with the South Carolina Public Service Authority, to determine the effect of several liquid spray herbicides. No gen- eral field operations were conducted during the year. Field investigations continued throughout the state in order to main- tain a current record of the location and quantity of obnoxious aquatic plants in South Carolina. Federal costs for fiscal year were $18,922 for planning and research plus $549 for operations. Condition at end of fiscal year. Limited control and field test- ing operations are in progress with South Carolina Public Service Authority. ,Approximately5,200 acres of alligatorweed have been treated under expanded project.

Impounding of reservoir to normal pool pVel (1,030 feet mean sea level) was effected in January 1963. t'Oject consists of a rolled earthfill dam 1,740 feet long, with crest t elevation 1,107.5 feet mean sea level, or about 148 feet above Streambed elevation; a spillway near north abutment of dam in a oclk cut with crest elevation 1075; and outlet works consisting of ltake structure, control tower, and circular concrete conduit 12.25 feet in diameter through base of dam near south abutment. Oeservoir has a gross capacity of 153,000 acre-feet of which 112,- 00 acre-feet are reserved for flood control, 33,000 acre-feet will eused when required for water supply and conservation with 8,000 acre-feet being contained in minimum pool. 41Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details see page 3 of Annual Report for 1963. 374 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Operations and results during fiscal year. All recreational facilities were utilized beyond their maximum capabilities. A minimum amount of additional area was developed to accomrno- date a portion of the increased visitation. On three occasions the watershed area received excessive amounts of rainfall, re- sulting in necessity to control the outflow to prevent possible flood damages to areas below the dam. Condition at end of fiscal year. All remaining authorized con- struction items were completed, except certain remaining real estate deficiency judgments of initial land procurements. Acqui- sition for additional real estate was begun and additional rec- reational facilities will be provided when acquisition is completed or right of entry authorized utilizing funds allotted in May 1965 and fiscal year 1966. Project was commenced in August 1960 and placed in operation for flood control and water storage putr- poses in February 1963. Cost and financial statement. I Fiscal year .............

YADKIN RIVER, N.C. Location. Rises on eastern slope of Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, flows generally easterly 100 miles to vicinity of Dannaha, N.C. thence southeasterly 104 miles to its confluence with UwharrieRiver near Badin, N.C., where its name changes to Great Pee Dee River. (See Geological Survey maP of North Carolina.) Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1946 authorized con" struction of four flood control dams in upper Yadkin River Basin' two on Yadkin River above Wilkesboro, N.C., and two on Reddies River, a tributary stream. Studies made subsequent to authoris- ing act established economic advantage of providing needed flood control storage in two reservoirs, one on the Reddies and one on the Yadkin, rather than in four reservoirs as originally planned.

Savannah River is formed by confluence of Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers on northwestern boundary line between South Carolina and Georgia. It flows southeast 314 miles, forming boundary line between the two states, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean 16.6 miles below Savannah, Ga. (See Geological Survey maps of South Carolina and Georgia.) Previous project. For details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. Provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 90 feet wide (at ordinary summer flow of 5,800 second-feet at Au- gusta, Ga.) from upper end of Savannah Harbor to head of navli gation at Augusta, 3 miles above Fifth Street Bridge, a total of about 199 miles. Improvement is to be obtained by construction of contraction works, closure of cutoffs, bank protection, dredg- ing, removal of snags, overhanging trees and wrecks, and open- river regulation. Mean tidal variation at mouth of river is 7 feet. Freshet variation above normal pool level (elevation 114.5 mean sea level) of New Savannah Bluff lock and dam at mile 203 is ordinarily about 13 feet with an extreme of 34 feet. Latest approved project cost estimate for providing a 9-foot channel (Sept. 1963) is $6,576,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Recreation facilities at New Savannah Bluff lock and dam cost $17,000. Existing project was authorized bY seven River and Harbor Acts between 1890 and 1950 and is generally as authorized by 1950 River and Harbor Act (S. Doc. 6, 81st Cong., 1st sess.)

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 wa- ter-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 estimate of the final cost of the 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 results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Spraying operations conducted as follows: 2,355 acres in St. Johns River and tributaries cost $53,190; 1,713 acres in Okee- chobee Waterway and tributaries cost $18,310; and supervision and administration cost $8,895. Condition at end of fiscal year. This project is for mainte- nance. During the year, 4,068 acres of hyacinths were sprayed in approximately 2,000 miles of waterways. Hyacinth infesta- tion is widespread over Lake Okeechobee. There are currently about 4,000 acres of hyacinth on the lake. New canal construc- tion in the Kissimmee River allowed the plants to flow into Lake Okeechobee increasing the infestation. Spraying in upper reaches of the Kissimmee has started under the Aquatic Plant Control Program and should progress downstream to Lake Okee- chobee.

Plane of reference is mean low water. Mean tidal range in Tampa Bay is 1.5 feet; spring range, 1.9 feet. Strong Southwesterly winds raise water level as much as 1.5 feet; strong northerly winds lower it as much as 2 feet. Project is about 8 iles long. Project was authorized by Deficiency Act of March 4, 1929, and River and Harbor Acts of July 3, 1930 (S. Doc. 229, 7 Oth Cong. 2d sess.), August 26, 1937 (River and Harbor Com- ittee Doc. 71, 74th Cong., 2d sess.), and May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 19, 8 1st Cong., 1st sess.). The parts of the project authorized by 1950 River and Harbor Act, except 12-foot-depth channels in iayboro Harbor and at mouth of Salt Creek, are considered inac- tve. However, this inactive part is currently under restudy to Setermine whether dredging of this part of the project is econom- ically justified. The project except for the inactive portion was C0ompleted at a Federal cost of $214,000 and $930,000 non-Federal cost for dredging and port facilities. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, rights- -Way and spoil disposal areas; hold the United States free from damages; and strengthen or move structures necessary to safe- guard the channels and adjacent lands and structures. All re- quirements for the active part of the project have been met. Terminal facilities. There is a 1,500-foot-long municipal Wharf and two warehouses at the Port of St. Petersburg turning basin. From turning basin to Bayboro Harbor the U.S. Mari- tme training station has 1,360 feet of wharfage space. On ayboro Harbor, there are 5 oil company wharves, 2 marine repair and supply plants, a sand and shell wharf, 6 marine rail- rays, steam-electric plant and fuel wharf of the Florida Power Corp., and 4 privately owned marginal wharves.

S. ARMY, 1965 Regulation: (a) Corps: For the second consecutive year, below normal rainfall during the wet season resulted in a defi- ciency in net water supply to Lake Okeechobee. During the 6-month period, August through January, net water supply waS almost 500,000 acre-feet less than normal and over 565,000 acre feet less than normal for the entire year. The lake never fill e d to the desired elevation by the end of the wet season and drifted across the winter months at 1.0 to 1.5 feet below schedule. H ° ° ever, a short period of above-normal inflow kept the lake up during February and March and resulted in the requirement for regula- tory discharges based on the forecasted stage for the beginning of the wet period. Releases through the St. Lucie Canal were made in April for the first time since February 1961. The Caloosa- hatchee River was also used to discharge during serveral periods of the year. At the end of the year Lake Okeechobee was just about at the desired stage. About 560,000 acre feet of water was supplied from the conservation storage in Lake Okeechobee to maintain stages in project canals and supply irrigation water to over 400,000 acres of farmlands. Conservation area No. 1 waS at satisfactory stages until the very dry period of April and May when the available storage in the pool was reduced to zero andl stages in the borrow canals fell rapidly to a low of about 3 feet below schedule. Heavy rains in June again raised the stages above schedule and releases were being made at the end of the year. During the year about 259,000 acre-feet were releasd through structure 10 and 160,000 acre-feet of water came from this pool to maintain desirable stages in the area east of the pool. Conservation area No. 2A was generally on schedule during most of the year except for the drought period of April and May but was also back very close to schedule at the end of the year. About 298,000 acre-feet of water was released to Conservation Area No. 3A through Structure 11 and over 127,000 acre-feet came from this pool to the east coast. Conservation area No. 3 again failed to fill to the desired minimum level and remained about 1.5 feet below schedule all year. A low-water release sched- ule proposed by the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District was adopted on a trial basis and a small amount of water was made available to the Everglades National Park under this schedule in April. (b) Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District: Com pleted 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 to prevent salinity problems in coastal areas. During the fiscal year about 900,000 acre-feet of water were pumped from developed areas into Lake Okeechobee and the conservation areas. This pumP' ing, plus water released from the lake and conservation areas during dry periods resulted in large benefits throughout the agri- cultural and east coast areas. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is about 46 percent complete. Planning for the entire project was begun in NoveV ber 1948 and has been continued.

APALACHICOLA, CHATTAHOOCHEE, AND FLINT RIVERS, ALA., GA., AND FLA. Location. Apalachicola River is formed at southwest corner of State of Georgia by junction of Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and flows south 108 miles emptying into Apalachicola Bay. Florida River enters Apalachicola River from the east at mile 45.4 and River Styx also enters from the east at mile 36.7, and Chipola River enters from the west at mile 28.2 (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1262.) Chattahoochee River, 418 miles long, rises in northeast Georgia and flows southwesterly to West Point, and thence southerly to join Flint River at southwest corner of Georgia, forming Apala- chicola River. (See Geological Survey maps for northwest Georgia.) Flint River, 330 miles long, rises in west central Georgia, flows generally southeasterly to Albany, and thence southwest to south- West corner of the State, where it joins Chattahoochee River to form Apalachicola River. (See Geological Survey maps for south- west Georgia.) Previous projects. For details, see page 484 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. Provides for development of Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint Rivers for navigation, flood control, hy- dropower, and recreation.

WEST POINT DAM AND RESERVOIR, CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER BASIN, GA. AND ALA. Location. Damsite is on Chattahoochee River 2.8 miles uP stream from West Point, Ga., 201.4 miles above mouth of Chatta- hoochee River, and 309.2 miles above mouth of Apalachicola River. At full power-pool elevation of 635 feet above mean sea level, reservoir would lie in Troup and Heard Counties, Ga., and inl Chambers and Randolph Counties, Ala. (See Geological Survey maps of Ga. and Ala.) Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1962 authorized con- struction of West Point Reservoir substantially in accordance with House Document 570, 87th Congress, 2d session, for flood control, power, recreation, fish and wildlife development, and streamflow regulation for downstream navigation. Project as now planned, provides for a gravity-type concrete dam 1,075 feet long with earth embankments at either end 366 feet long east and 4,537 feet long on west end. An earth saddle dike 1,075 feet long will be 80 feet northwest of end of main dam and another saddle dike 355 feet long about 1 mile east of dam. Total length of dam, dikes, and spillway will be 7,408 feet. Main dam, will consist of two concrete, nonoverflow sections, 250 feet long on east side and 142 feet long on west side, a gravity concrete spillway 458 feet long in channel with nine tainter gates, each 42 by 35 feet. An intake section 225 feet long will be constructed directly east of spillway with powerhouse immediately downstream. At full power pool elevation 635 reservoir will provide a total storage of 553,000 acre-feet of which 282,000 acre-feet will be usable. During critical flood season it is planned to operate reservoir with maximum power pool elevation at 625 feet to provide flood stor- age between elevations 625 and 635. Initial power installation will be 72,000 kilowatts and ultimate will be 107,000 kilowattS.

Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, rightS of-way, and spoil-disposal areas for construction and future main- tenance; make alterations to pipelines, cables, and other facil- ities; dredge and maintain connecting 12- by 125-foot channel, Golden Meadow to auxiliary channel; construct, maintain, and operate a pontoon bridge across this channel where required; and hold the United States free from damages. Chief of Engineers authorized construction of independent items of project, excluding auxiliary channel, since property own- ers and local interests were dissatisfied with original alinement of proposed auxiliary channel and recommended an alternate aline- ment. Assurances were received and accepted covering all items of work except construction of connecting channel and pontoon bridge over auxiliary channel. Louisiana Department of Public Works indicated its willingness to accomplish this construction. However, it has requested Congressional delegation to consider legislation to relieve local agency because of increased cost due to long delay in construction. There are an estimated 188 tracts in entire project. Deeds and 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 34 tracts and deeds to United States covering six tracts from Leeville to Golden Meadow were obtained by local agency. No evidence submitted covering remaining 18 tracts in this segment. No evidence sub- mitted 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 again notified December 22, 1964, of revocation of funds because of unavailabil- ity 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 canneries has docking facilities suitable for its needs. Four oil companies RIVERS AND HARBORS -NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 501 have docks at Leeville for transferring production of Leeville Oilfields to barges. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces carried on real estate activities, investigations, surveys, and StUdies. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of existing proj- etWas initiated in fiscal year 1939 and is 16 percent complete. redging between Larose, La., and Gulf of Mexico was completed n 1939 and that segment between Lockport and Napoleonville, La., is in an inactive status due to lack of right-of-way and spoil area. Jetties at mouth of Belle Pass were completed in 1939, and 'ater damaged by storm action, which required placement of addi- al stone adjacent to both sides of steel sheet pile jetties in 1940, ad repair and extension of jetties in 1941.

Cypress Bayou rises in northeast Texas and flo vS southeasterly to Caddo Lake, through this lake to Big Willow Pass, and through Big and Little Willow Passes, Soda Lake, Twelve Mile Bayou, new diversion canal, and Cross Bayou to Bed River at Shreveport, La., a distance of about 132 miles. (See Geological Survey State maps and quadrangle maps.) CypreSS Bayou proper ends where it enters Caddo Lake, but the name is frequently applied to the whole waterway described above. Existing project. Dredging and straightening channel, re- moving obstructions, and clearing banks for 66 miles from Red River at Shreveport, to Jefferson, and a 3,400-foot long, fixed, on pile foundation, dam at foot of Caddo Lake, La. and Tex., aboud 23 miles above mouth of Jefferson-Shreveport Waterway and 2 miles below Mooringsport, La. Dam was completed December 21, 1914, at a cost of $100,553. Below dam, fluctuation of water levels depends chiefly upon backwater from Red River, the maximum being about 10 feet. At the dam, fluctuation is from 2.5 feet below to 13.3 feet above crest of the spillway and at Jefferson maximum was 30.4 feet. Cost of new work, completed in 1914, was $202,817.

Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. None at Shreveport, La. There are tWO publicly owned brick warehouses, 50 by 150 feet, at Jefferson, Tex., and three oil company facilities at Mooringsport, La., a covered dock, 60 by 60 feet opened to all small boats, a pipe rack not decked, and boatways. Warehouse at Jefferson has not been used for several years, since no commerce has moved in that vicinity. Facilities considered adequate for present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor direc- tive was issued for repair of Caddo Lake Dam by placing ap- proximately 1,000 tons of stone and 2,250 cubic yards of gravel. Initiation depends on favorable river stages. Condition at end of fiscal year. Dam at foot of Caddo Lake was completed in December 1914, completing project. Its con- struction and maintenance insure a 4-foot navigable depth at low water from that point to Jefferson, head of navigation, but prevent possible navigation to Shreveport, except for such light draft boats as may pass over dam at high stages. Below dam, naviga- tion is largely dependent upon backwater from Red River. A stage of from 15 to 24 feet on Red River gage at Shreveport, depending on runoff from Cypress Bayou drainage area, is necessary to provide a 4-foot depth up to dam. Such stages are short in duration and irregular in occurrence. A reconnaissance RIVERS AND HARBORS -NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 513 Survey, May 1961, with 0.7 foot of water running over crest of datnam, showed to Jefferson, following controlling depths from Mooringsport, La., Tex.: Caddo Lake, mile 34 to 35 (at channel ~arker III), 5.7 feet; Cypress Bayou, mile 39 to 40 (Government cut), 5.6 feet; mile 65 to 66 (head of navigation), 5.8 feet. _Cost and financial statement ................

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, lDublic health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures. etimated cost for new work (July 1965) is $3,208,000, Federal, and $1,364,000, non-Federal. Existing project was authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 37, 85th Cong., 1st sess., Which contains latest published maps.) 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 Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission fur- nished a joint assurance of local cooperation, which was approved April 29 and accepted May 4, 1959. This was extended 5 years to May 4, 1969. Under provisions of continuing contract for approximately 10 years, or until end of project, now estimated to be June 30, 1967, local agencies will perform work in kind, ap- Droximating 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 the Corps. 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 the Corps 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 Vicksburg District were cleaned of most surface 514 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 vegetation. Maintenance of this area is assigned to the State with occasional assistance by Corps crews in some of the lakes and streams. Satisfactory progress is being made in this area: Waterways between Atchafalaya east guide levee and MississiPPi River levee south of Morganza control structure are being cleaned by a combined effort of Corps and State crews. This work Ji 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 Atcha- falaya Basin, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and other connecting streams by Corps and State crews. Results are progressing in a satisfactory manner. During operations throughout year 10,92 acres of vegetation were destroyed. State of Louisiana crews destroyed 7,287 acres of vegetation by chemical treatments only. Crews of the Corps destroyed 3,635 acres of vegetation using both chemical and mechanical methods. Research work to discover means to chemically destroy alligatorweed and other obnoxioUS aquatic plants, under contract with University of Southwestern Louisiana, continued with promising results. Condition at end of fiscal year. Operations under project, initiated May 1959, are 74 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 Freshwater Bayou. Waterway is routed 22.6 miles along Schooner Bayou Cutoff, Schooner Bayou, Six Mile Canal, Belle Isle Canal, and Freshwater Bayou. 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 1965) is $8 million Federal, and $203,000 non-Federal. In addition Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at a cost of $23,000. Existing project was adopted by 1960 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 435, RIVERS AND HARBORS -NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 515 8 6th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published map). ofLocal cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, rights- way, and spoil-disposal areas for construction and future ca ntenance; make and maintain all alterations to pipelines, ables, and any other utilities for construction; and hold the Ukited States free from damages. Assurances have been re- Jved and accepted. Vermilion Parish Police Jury was requested taiuary obus 48 31, 1962, to tracts. acquire rights-of-way for project, which con- Difficulty was encountered by local agency in iobtaining donation of rights-of-way from owners who wished to 4 clUde a restrictive withdrawal clause. An acceptable with- oraWal clause was approved and is acceptable also to major land- a ner, Humble Oil & Refining Co. Local agency furnished deeds ad title evidence covering all tracts six of which have been aecepted. Considerable curative work is required before re- aining deeds can be accepted. t erminal facilities. Extensive public and private terminal and ransfer facilities do not exist in area, and none would be re- quired for improved channel. Private terminals exist at site of oil and gas operations in area and sufficient private and public wharf acllities are along Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and its connect- g Waterways. Sites are available along proposed improvement thr 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 plans and specifications, acquisition of assurances, and drained existing spoil area at site of Freshwater Bayou lock.

Plan of improvement covers flood control, navigation, irrigation, and salinity control in coastal marsh of lower Mermentau River Basin and provides for channel enlarge- ment of lower Mermentau River below Grand Lake, mile 25, to a minimum section of 3,000 square feet below mean low gulf level for discharge of floodflows; construction of a sector gated control structure at Catfish Point, mile 24 above mouth of Merment River, for discharge of floodflows and control u of tidalflows and salt water intrusion in Mermentau River; channel enlargement and realinement of Inland Waterway from Vermilion Bay to White Lake, 12.04 miles, and from White Lake to Grand Lake, 6.14 miles, to a minimum section of 3,000 square feet below mean low gulf level or interflow between lakes and discharge of floodflows; co"* struction of a sector gated control structure in enlarged channel immediately north of abandoned Schooner Bayou lock reservation for discharge of floodflows and control of tidalflows and salt- water intrusion; channel enlargement of North Prong of Schooner Bayou and Schooner Bayou cutoff, 6.69 miles, to 6 by 60 feet, mean low gulf level, for navigation purposes; and maintenance of existing 5- by 40-foot, mean low gulf level, waterway from White Lake to Pecan Island, La., 1.8 miles long, for navigation. In addition, project provides for incorporation of that section of project, "Inland Waterway from Franklin, La., to Mermentau River," west of Vermilion Bay, a waterway that includes Schoo- ner Bayou lock. Project was reclassified as an "Operation and Maintenance, General" project under category, "Navigation (Locks, Dams, Reservoirs, and Canals) " by authority of Chief of Engineers, April 23, 1956. Because of failure of both east and west gates, Schooner Bayou lock was closed by a dike across east approach channel and traffic routed through new control structure. Under ordinary conditions mean range of tide on Mermentau River near mouth is 1.6 feet and near head about 3 inches. Variation of water surface near the mouth may be as much as 7 or 8 feet, due to hurricanes on the gulf, and near head from 8 to 12 feet, due to freshets.

On November 17, 1962, a new contract ex- tended period for five years. During fiscal year under this recip- rocal agreement 138,129 cubic yards were removed by leased dredge Pontchartrainfrom within 100-foot line and no dredging Was performed by Board of Commissioners outside 100-foot line. Leased dredge Tchefuncta removed 23,050 cubic yards over 1,530 feet from Algiers Naval Station on reimbursable basis. River traf- fic 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 April 5 to May 10, 1965. Necessary surveys to determine condition of channel in harbor were made. Maintenance by contract: $457,067 for dredging by leased plant. Maintenance by hired labor: $12,142 for operation of signal lights and $569 for rearranging stairs, Governor Nicholls traffic light. Total costs, $469,778. (c) Southwest Pass: 15,300 cubic yards were removed by U.S. dredge Langfitt at Head of Passes covering 1,000 linear feet along entrance ranges into Southwest Pass. Leased dredge Galveston removed 1,196,570 cubic yards of material over 16,895 linear feet between mile 0.2 and 8.0 below Head of Passes.

(a) Baton Rouge to New Orleans, New Orleans Harbor, and New Orleans to Head of Passes: Annual maintenance is required fol- lOWing each high water period and leased dredging was in prog- ress at end of fiscal year at Red Eye Crossing, mile 223 above Head Of Passes, and in the New Orleans Harbor. Hired labor operations, hopper dredge Langfitt, were in progress at Granada Crossing, mile 204, at end of fiscal year. Modification of U.S. dustpan dredge Jadwin was deferred as the result of a meeting held between the Corps and contractors in Vicksburg, Miss., on Septem- ber 15, 1964, to determine the practicability of using a cutterhead Pipeline dredge for maintaining the 40-foot channel between Baton Rouge and New Orleans at minimum cost. As a result, the United States will delay alterations to the Jadwin for 1 year on basis of plea that contractors can maintain channel in satisfactory mhanner at reasonable cost. A leased dredge at end of fiscal year Was operating at Red Eye Crossing under specifications prepared by the New Orleans District and coordinated with the Vicksburg District. Specifications were considered suitable for modified ap- Proach to the dredging and adequate to permit contractors to develop required equipment and capability. Minor deficiencies in harbor at Dumaine and Governor Nicholls street wharves were not corrected because of revetted mattresses at these locations. 534 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Channel depths opposite these wharves are adequate for present and anticipated future commerce. Normal width of channel be- tween 40-foot contours within limits of the 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 available between New Orleans and Head of Passes. (b) Southwest Pass: Annual maintenance is required folloW* ing each high water period and dredging by leased plant 1I progress at end of fiscal year. Excessive shoaling in pass neces- sitates use of a second leased dredge and work advertised June 16 with bids to open July 2, 1965. East jetty requires additional stone placed in low sections in jetty system because of settlement and is scheduled to be repaired by continuing contract corn- mencing late fiscal year 1966. West jetty requires replacement of approximately 165 linear feet of concrete blocks that were dislodged by severe local weather conditions. Additional repairs because of settlement and for buttressing the concrete cap with stone is scheduled by continuing contract commencing late fiscal year 1966. East and west headland permeable pile and stone dike structures at Head of Passes and various permeable pile dikes in Southwest Pass are in effective operating condition. Continued maintenance is required, however, and hired labor work was in progress at end of fiscal year. Additional stone is needed in west headland structure and work will be performed in fiscal year 1966. Under 40-foot project permeable pile dikes vicinitY mile 2 east bank, miles 10 to 14 west bank, and miles 19-20 west bank are yet to be constructed to stabilize pass and also prevent further bank erosion. Communicating flow between Southwest Pass and adjacent open marsh areas in West Bay has been stopped by constructing a parallel stone dike across openings on west bank of pass at miles 2 and 3, 6, and 9 below Head of Passes. Parallel stone dike constructed in 1964 between miles 7.77 and 8.65 is settling and will require maintenance during fiscal year 1966. All outlets of pass are in good condition with exception of outlet W-2 in west bank vicinity mile 9.9 below Head of Passes. Recent survey shows deepening and enlargment, erosion of down- stream bank, and deterioration of structures at riverward en- trance and bay exit. Study will be made whether to make repairs or close outlet entirely. To increase bank stability, hy- draulic fill from leased dredges used for maintaining channel will continue to be placed on existing narrow land areas.

Work accomplished in main waterways and their principal trib- ltaries over which major portion of navigation moves. Pre- fVentive maintenance work carried out in secondary streams and feder areas whenever practicable. Feeder areas previously beed of hyacinths and placed on a patrol maintenance basis have Secome infected with alligatorweed which has not proved to be as usceptible to approved chemical treatment as water-hyacinth. A total of 24,906,640 square yards (5,146 acres) of vegetation was treated by chemicals and 721,160 square yards (149 acres) Of Vegetation was destroyed by machinery in Bayou Black, Lake ataouatche, and feeder streams, streams of Lake des Allemands asin, Lake Dauterive area, Bayou Penchant-Bayou Copasaw area, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, streams of Maurepas-Pont- aChartrain Basin, Plaquemine Waterway, and Bayou Teche. Oper- bions were conducted in main navigable streams on a recurring asis. 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 ith suitable machinery for destroying hyacinth by crushing was Perated. From that time until 1937 hyacinths were destroyed 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). Use of booms and barricades has been discontinued. Present methods of control are by means of mechanical rotary saw-type destroyers, and chemical treat- bment. Excellent results are being obtained on water-hyacinths bY these methods.

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, but were unwilling to take legal action required to acquire rights-of-way and make them available to the United States for part II. Inter- ested individual landowners obtained conveyance of rights- of-way to local agencies and are negotiating for relocation of utilities, except Magnolia 18-inch line. They expect to have all rights-of-way down to Magnolia line available for construction in fiscal year 1966. The two local agencies involved in part III (which includes a section of levee within damsite area) were advised to discontinue acquisition until such time as Sulphur River Municipal Water District could comply with provisions of authorizing act.

Provides for construction of a dam at Car- lyle and nine levee projects between Carlyle and New Athens au- thorized by 1938 Flood Control Act, and construction of a dam at Shelbyville, six levee projects along river between Cowden and Yandalia, and a local protection project at New Athens, all author- iZed by 1958 Flood Control Act. Under the plan, Carlyle and Shelbyville Reservoirs would be operated as a multiple-purpose project for local and Mississippi River flood control, domestic and industrial water supply, releases in the interest of navigation on the Mississippi River, fish and wildlife conservation, and recrea- tion. The 15 levee projects would provide protection to approxi- rlately 67,820 acres of land. In view of inclusion of previously authorized Carlyle Reservoir and levees between Carlyle and New Athens in recommended plan, general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in Upper Mississippi River Basin, approved by 1938 Flood Control Act, was modified by deleting Carlyle Reservoir and levees between Carlyle and New Athens. 586 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.

S .nstruction of pile dike considered inactive. aConsidered inactive from Hill Street Bridge to mouth of White Oak Bayou. 4 reviously authorized Sept. 6, 1933, by Public Works Administration. eePening channel to 40 feet from mile 47 to Brady Island is inactive. Mean tidal range under ordinary conditions is 0.6 foot to 1.3 feet in lower part of Galveston Bay; 0.6 foot to 1.3 feet in upper ay; and 0.5 to 1 foot in San Jacinto River and Buffalo Bayou. Xtreme ranges under ordinary conditions are about 2 feet, 1.2 feet, and 1 foot respectively. Freshets caused rises of over 12 feet in Buffalo Bayou; however, this condition has not occurred since completion of Addicks and Barker Dams for flood control on uvPer watershed of Buffalo Bayou. Height of tides is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" in winter sea- son the water surface may be depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps) $33,076,- 200, including $42,500 for Barbours Terminal, excluding ex- penditures on previous projects; and non-Federal $10,197,500, irtecluding $1,365,000 cash contributed, $2,102,500 lands, $380,000 r'elocations and $6,350,000 other costs on fully completed modifi- cations..

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. An huac is about 38 miles north of Galveston and 25 miles northet of Seabrook. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1282.) ot Previous projects. For details see page 986 of Annual Repo for 1932. For details of "Mouth of Trinity River, Tex.," see page 1859 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. With abandonment of lock and dam con struction, improvement of Trinity River by a channel 6 feet de) and of navigable width from mouth to Liberty (river mile 41.4) was left as existing project, being continued as provided for i, 1912 River and Harbor Act. Existing project was modified .by 1945 River and Harbor Act, which approved a comprehensive plan of development of Trinity River and tributaries Tex., accordance with recommendations in House Document 403, 7 7th Congress, 1st session, subject to such future modifications as I discretion of Chief of Engineers and Secretary of the ArmY ae be advisable. That comprehensive plan of development provide for a navigable channel from a point in Galveston Bay at Houstol Ship Channel to a terminus at Fort Worth, Tex. Such navigable channel was to be not less than 9 feet deep with a minimum bottom width of 200 feet in Galveston Bay and 150 feet in river section on tangents, shunting places and suitable widening oa curves, and a turning basin at Liberty. Navigation locksWil have clear inside dimensions of 75 by 400 feet. The 1945 act, however, authorized construction at this time only that portion of channel as far upstream as Liberty, Tex. River and Harbor Act of 1946 further modified comprehensive plan for TrinitY River Basin development so as to locate section of navigation channel below Anahuac nearer eastern shore of Trinity Bay, "I accordance with recommendations of Chief of Engineers in House Document 634, 79th Congress, 2d session. This modification pro vides 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 comprehensive plan for canalization to Fort Worth is $96 million (1939 prices), with $1,760,000 annually for main' tenance 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 pro) ect is being restudied.

At Alamogordo, Otero County, N. Mex., at foot of Sacramento Mountains near eastern edge of Tularosa (closed) Basin. Tularosa Basin extends north-south between Rio Grande and Pecos River watersheds in south-central New Mexico. (See Geological Survey Map, Alamogordo quadrangle, N. Mex., scale 1:62,500.) Existing project. Consists of a diversion channel aligned gen- erally in a north-south direction east of the city. Diversion chan- nel will be 7 miles long and have a trapezoidal section with bottom widths varying from 20 to 90 feet, and a design discharge of 22,000 cubic feet per second. Channel will intercept flows from arroyos which head on west slope of Sacramento Mountains and flow westward through the city. Major problem streams are Dry, Beeman, and Marble Canyons. Channel will carry flood- flows westward in Dillard Draw to an area of "alkali flats" where water will be dissipated by evaporation and percolation. Esti- mated Federal cost is $2,100,000 including $135,000 for reloca- tions. Lands and damages are responsibility of local interests. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962. (H. Doc. 473, 87th Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest published maps.) 683 684 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must make alterations to existing improvements, other than railroads; prevent encroachment on diversion channel in order to maintain design capacity; and prevent encroachment on existing major drainage channels within the city in order to maintain their present capacities. Estimated costs for all re- quirements are $550,000. Estimated annual cost to local inter- ests for maintenance and operation is $5,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning continued. All design memoranda and plans and speC' ifications for diversion channel were completed. Planning work was suspended after city failed to pass bond issue in election March 9, 1965. Despite failure to pass bond issue city executed assurances of local cooperation on April 13, 1965. Assurances have not been accepted since city is unable to fulfill financial obligations in construction of project at this time. Five-year notice was issued city on November 25, 1964. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 95 percent complete, all planning about 92 percent complete. All plans and specifications are complete except for railroad relo- cations. City expects to be able to finance its portion of project within next 3 years.

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 276 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 above river to an elevation of 10,692 feet above mean sea level. (See Geological Survey Map, Albuquerque, 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 sub- urban 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 FLOOD CONTROL-ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 685 designed to carry floods equal in magnitude to standard project flood from all tributaries. Estimated Federal cost is $14,070,000 for construction and $930,000 for relocations, a total of $15 mil- lion. Estimated non-Federal cost, including required cash con- tribution of $440,000, is $9,500,000. Lands and damages costs are responsibility of local interests. Authorized by Flood Con- t'rol Act of 1954 (I. 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 en- Croachment 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 contri- bultion toward cost of construction in lump sum amounts equiva- lent 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 contribution toward cost of construction is $9,500,000. Precon- Struction planning was initiated in 1956. Work was stopped in fiscal year 1959 as a result of failure of local interests to comply With requirements. (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, Albuquerque Metropoli- tan 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 Were accepted by district on November 19, 1963. Operations and results during fiscal year. Planning was con- tinued. Construction of phase 1 of north channel, Alameda out- let structure, was initiated March 12, 1965. Revised general design studies, plans and specifications for phase 1 of north chan- nel, detailed design memorandum for remainder of north channel, Dhases 2 and 3, and negotiations for railroad relocation at Ala- mleda outlet crossing were completed. Detailed design memoran- dum covering south channel and plans and specifications for con- Struction of phase 2 of north channel, from Alameda outlet to U.S. Highway 1-25, were initiated. Condition at end of fiscal year. Planning is about 75 percent complete and construction of phase 1 of north channel is about 10 percent complete. Plans and specifications for construction of phase 2 of north channel are about 40 percent complete. 686 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S.

Mex., about 87 miles downstream from Elephant Butte Dam. (See Geological Survey Map for Las Cruces, N. iiex., quadrangle, scale 1:62,500.) Existing project. Consists of two dams, Las Cruces Dam, Which extends across Alameda and Las Cruces Arroyos, and Campus Dam, on Campus Arroyo. Both will be provided with uncontrolled outlets and spillways. Las Cruces Dam, about 1,000 feet east of Las Cruces city limits, will be earthfill construction about 15,572 feet long and 61 feet high with both slopes protected. Discharges from dam will be conveyed downstream in channel of Alameda Arroyo for about 10,968 feet and then by means of an Unlined, trapezoidal channel for about 13,910 feet to Rio Grande. Reservoir capacity is 13,200 acre-feet at maximum water surface and 8,200 acre-feet at spillway crest. Controlled drainage area is 28.9 square miles. Campus Dam will be a small earthfill struc- ture 1,790 feet long and 32.5 feet high located on Campus Arroyo immediately upstream from campus of State University. Both slopes will be protected by 6-inch layer of spalls. Flows from dam will be discharged directly into channel of Campus Arroyo. Reservoir capacity is 190 acre-feet at maximum water surface elevation and 158 acre-feet at spillway crest. Controlled drain- age area is 0.45 square miles. Estimated Federal cost is $3,530,- 000, including $40,000 for relocations. Cost of lands and dam- ages is responsibility of local interests. Project authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962 (S Doc. 117, 87th Cong., 2d sess., Which contains latest published maps.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must make any alterations to existing improvements, other than railroads, which may be required; prevent encroach- ment upon outlet channel from Las Cruces Dam to Rio Grande in order to maintain a channel capacity of 275 cubic feet per second; Prevent encroachment upon existing channel of Campus Arroyo from Campus Dam to point opposite present location of university Sewage disposal plant in order to maintain a channel capacity of at least 30 cubic feet per second through this reach; and prevent encroachment, other than by natural sediment deposits, on the reservoir areas which would reduce their storage capacities. Es- timated non-Federal cost is $536,000. Estimated average annual cost to local interests for maintenance and operation is $8,600. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning continued. All design memoranda were completed. Plans and specifications for embankments, spillways, and outlets for both dams were initiated; however, planning was suspended in May after completion of general design memorandum since bond issue passed by city January 11, 1965, is not sufficient to cover all cost of local cooperation as presently estimated. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 85 percent complete. All design memoranda are complete, and plans and specifications for all of project except railroad bridge are about 25 percent complete.

RIO GRANDE BASIN, N. MEX. Location. Improvements are on Rio Grande and tributaries in New Mexico. More definite locations and descriptions of indi- vidual projects are in following paragraphs and individual reports by projects. Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1948 authorized flood control phase of comprehensive plan of development of water resources of Rio Grande basin in New Mexico (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess.) with exception of Chiflo Dam and Reservoir and spillway gate structure at Chamita Dam. Although recom- mended Chiflo Dam and Reservoir was deleted from authorized plan, it was excluded without prejudice to subsequent considera- tion by Congress. It was requested at that time, by States of Colorado and Texas, that project be deferred for restudy regard- ing required storage and methods of operation. By same act, Congress also authorized for construction irrigation phase of comprehensive plan as recommended by Bureau of Reclamation (H. Doc. 653, 81st Cong., 2d sess.). The act also stipulated that work should be prosecuted in accordance with joint agreement approved by Secretary of the Army and Acting Secretary of the Interior on November 21, 1957. In addition, under that agree- ment Bureau of Reclamation was given responsibility for con- struction, operation, and maintenance of channel rectification, and drainage rehabilitation and extension phases of unified plan of improvement. Flood Control Act of 1960 authorized Galisteo Reservoir on Galisteo Creek and Cochiti Reservoir on Rio Grande as additions to authorized plan of improvement for Rio Grande (S. Doc. 94, 86th Cong., 2d sess.). Flood Control Act of 1948 authorized to be appropriated $3,500,000 to be expended by De- partment of the Army for partial accomplishment of compre- hensive plan for Rio Grande basin. Flood Control Act of 1950 authorized to be appropriated $39 million, in addition to previous authorization, for work to be prosecuted by Department of the Army and $30,179,000 for work to be prosecuted by Department of the Interior.

Estimated cost of this portion of floodway is not available. Originall it was included as part of overall floodway project estimated at $3 million. Sudies to date do not provide a solution to flood problem on tributary arroyos at and in vicinity of Truth e 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 floo control which is responsibility of Corps. Tributary arroyo problem is considered different o from one described in H. Doc. 243 and additional authorization may be necessary for its s l1 tion. t To be restudied and excluded from estimated cost of project. Estimated cost of this portion of project, July 1960, was $6,200,000. ' In addition, $1,650,000 incurred by Bureau of Reclamation in this reach. 6 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 comn- 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 completed August 31, 1962. Federal cost $2,662,000 (1964) (Corps only). Project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 30, 1948, and May 17, 1950. (See H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published maps.) Local 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. Fully complied with for units of floodway already completed. Total costs for all requirements 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 continued under mem- orandum agreement between Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps, consisting primarily of analyzing and indexing data ob- tained by survey. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1964 were $250,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of Albuquerque and Cochiti to Rio Puerco units of Rio Grande Floodways project is complete. Planning for Espanola Valley unit not started.

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 1io Grande for about 18 miles to crest of Magdalena Mountains and has a maximum width of about 12 miles. Total watershed rea above western edge of Rio Grande is 122 square miles. TrlbUtaries in order from north to south are Nogal Canyon, glue Canyon and its tributary Blast Canyon, Mines Wash, West W ash, Park City Arroyo, and its tributaries Smelter Arroyo and ocorro Cayon, and Arroyodel "i " Canyon, Arroyo de la Matanza. a There are several Minor arroyos (unnamed) between Nogal and Blue Canyons and etween Park City Arroyo and Arroyo de la Matanza. Improve- ment consists of three major elements: A modification of exist- ing Arroyo de la Matanza diversion; a diversion channel extend- ing 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 lrojects 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. Fed- eral cost was $2,259,328 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. Total estimated first Cost of all requirements is $307,000.

On Purgatoire River about 161 miles above its june- tion with Arkansas River. Project is about 4 miles upstreaml from city of Trinidad, Colo. (See Geological Survey Map, Tri" idad, Colo., quadrangle, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. Consists of an earthfill structure 6,610 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 606 square miles and will be operated for flood and sediment control, irrigation, and recreation purposes. Estimated Federal cost is $17,830,000 for constuction, and $3,170,000 for lands and damages, a total of $21 million. Estimated average annual main- tenance cost is $68,200, including estimated cost to local inter- ests. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1958 (H. Doc. 325, 84th Cong., 2d sess., which contians latest published maps.) An earlier authorization in Flood Control Act of 1944 (H. Doc. 387, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) provided flood protec- tion for city of Trinidad by means of channel improvement. Authorization for Trinidad Reservoir project provides for ab- FLOOD CONTROL-ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 699 rogationdof channel project at time of initiation of construction of Tinidad Darn. dLocal cooperation. Requirements based on approved general dsign memorandum studies: cash contribution by city of Trini- dad, Colo., toward cost of construction amounting to 4.5 percent b that portion of first cost allocated to flood control; repayment al Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District of first cost allocated to irrigation, generally in accordance with Federal Rec- Siation law procedures, except that repayment of the irrigation at costs shall extend over a period not to exceed 75 years; contribute annually an amount equal to 17 percent of joint-use eration and maintenance and major replacement costs; and aintain channel of Purgatoire River through city of Trinidad t a capacity of 15,000 cubic feet per second. In addition con- ervancy district must make arrangements for transfer of Model nd and Irrigation Co.'s storage rights from existing Model eservoir to Trinidad Reservoir. Storage for recreation pur- Doses 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. rovision was made in project plan for 4,500 acre-feet of perma- nent storage for recreation; however, since flows of Purgatoire Iver are fully appropriated, water rights will have to be ac- quired 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 recrea- tion will be provided at Federal expense, but cost of water rights ill be borne by the State of Colorado. Formal assurances were received from both city of Trinidad and Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District. Resolutions have been reviewed but not formally accepted for reason that irrigation repayment contract has not been executed and Congressional action on bill to elimi- nate cash contribution of city has not been completed. If bill fails to pass, city will utilize profits from city-owned utilities and municipal power and light plant, plus reserves on hand to finance required cash contribution. Stipulated decree changing place of storage of water right decreed to existing Model Reservoir to Proposed Trinidad Reservoir was approved by Las Animas County District Court April 15, 1965. Revised cost allocation 5 gures were accepted by Corps and Bureau of Reclamation in conference with Bureau of the Budget April 12 and 13, 1965. Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District is coordinating re- payment contract with various ditch companies on basis of ap- Proved cost allocations preparatory to final execution of contract, after which it will be submitted to Commissioner of Reclamation for approval. Upon approval, validity of contract will be sub- Jected to a court test. Operations and results during fiscal year. All planning work SUspended. Administrative work and coordination with local, State, and other Federal agencies in connection with securing approval of project operating principles and irrigation repayment contract were continued. General design memorandum amend- mnent covering revised cost allocations was completed. 700 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Condition at end of fiscal year.

TWO RIVERS RESERVOIR, N. MEX. Location. About 14 miles southwest of Roswell, N. Mex., on Rio Hondo. Rio Hondo is formed at confluence of Rio Ruidos° 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 generally easterly to its confluence with PecoS River near Roswell, N. Mex. (See Geological Survey MaP, Hondo Reservoir quadrangle, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. 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 98 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 Dia- mond "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 flowSs through Roswell will not exceed channel capacity of Rio Hondo, which is 1,000 cubic feet per second. Capacity of Two Rivers Reservoir at spillway 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 con- trols 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 is $4,790,838 all for construction. Lands and damages cost 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-I. Doc. 436, 83d Cong., 2d sess., which contains latest pub- lished maps.) Existing project was authorized by 1954 Flood Control Act. Local cooperation. Complied with except for maintenace. Total cost to local interests, not including cost of annual mainte- nance, was $144,000, of which $60,000 was for construction of access road and $84,000 for lands and rights-of-way. FLOOD CONTROL--ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 701 Operations and results during fiscal year. Ordinary mainte- 19nance and operation continued. Reservoir was empty July 1, 1964. Flood control regulation was made June 18 to 25 and 28 to 30, 1965. The pool at Diamond "A" Dam had a maximum levation of 3,982.0 feet, with corresponding storage of 767 acre- With Rocky Dam had a maximum pool elevation of 3,970.7 feet, elt corresponding storage of 6,086 acre-feet. Maximum pool elevations occurred June 18, 1965. Reservoir was empty June 30, 1965. Condition at end of fiscal year.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Included under this heading is inspection of completed flood control projects transferred to local interests for operation and maintenance. Projects in Colorado and New Mexico were in- spected. Fiscal year cost was $632 and total cost to June 30, 1965, was $20,194. 11. 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 9,964.5 feet with corresponding storage of 10,700 acre-feet. Reservoir Was held static, and inflow was passed until November 9, 1964. Stored water was released from November 9 through 16, 1964, at Which time the reservoir elevation was 9,941.7 with corresponding Storage of 2,700 acre-feet. Reservoir level remained static until June 20, 1965. Involuntary storage began May 21, 1965, due to spring runoff. Flood control regulation to reduce Mogote and Los Sauces flow began June 8 and continued through June 28, 1965. Actual flows at Mogote and Los Sauces were reduced 1,250 cubic feet per second by regulation of Platoro Reservoir. Esti- mated total accumulated flood damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1964 amount to $479,000. Costs during fiscal year were $2,444. Total costs to end of fiscal year were $33,573. 702 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 12.

C v i I 1 732 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 12. SURVEYS Fiscal year costs were $366,027, of which $43,513 was for flood control studies, $1,785 for special studies, and $320,729 for com- prehensive basin studies. 13. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the fiscal year 146 stream-gaging stations were operae of which 73 were operated cooperatively by Geological Survey and the Corps, and remainder independently by one or the other of these agencies. Suspended sediment samples were collected at 42 stations during the fiscal year in cooperation with Geolog ical Survey, and suspended loads were determined at certain sta- tions. Approximately 98 rainfall and/or river reporting sta- tions were operated in a cooperative program by Weather Bureau and the Corps for use in forecasting streamflow for flood warning and operation of reservoir projects. Records also were collected at certain hydroclimatic rainfall stations under a cooperative program of the two agencies. General hydrologic studies relatin to streamflow frequency and distribution were continued. Cost for fiscal year were $3,698, of which $2,443 was for engineering studies, and $1,255 for hydrologic studies. TULSA, OKLA., DISTRICT* District comprises southern Kansas, small portions of south- eestern Missouri and west Arkansas, northern Oklahoma, north- or portion of Texas Panhandle, and small portions of 1 ortheastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado, embraced drainage basin of Arkansas River, and its tributaries above mouth of Poteau River, inclusive, and below mouth of Walnut reek near Great Bend, Kans., exclusive of that portion of water- ed of South Canadian River and its tributaries west of Texas- ew Mexico State line; and a portion of western Arkansas, northern portion of Texas, and southern portion of Oklahoma enlbraced in drainage basin of Red River and its tributaries above Pulton, Ark.

Constructed access roads to Hell Creek and Rock Creek, prototype tests were conducted on tunnel No. 3. Regular funds, maintenance: Design studies continued for per- manent housing, spillway repair and resurfacing of project roads. Fort Peck Reservoir was operated in conjunction with the other Missouri River reservoirs for flood control, navigation, power production, and other multiple-pupose uses. Reservoir releases amounted to approximately 6,476,000 acre-feet, or an average dis- charge of 8,945 cubic feet per second. Generating facilities pro- duced 1,075,597,000 gross kilowatt-hours of electricity. Total cost of operation and maintenance was $996,104, however, reim- bursement from the Bureau of Reclamation for the pro rata share cost of operation and maintenance of the powerplant, reim- bursement for furnishing operators' village facilities, and distri- bution of pro rata share of camp operation cost reduced net cost to $465,307. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work started on original proj- ect in October 1933 and on second power plant in August 1956. Project is essentially complete. Additional recreational facilities are being constructed utilizing Code 710 funds.

Navigation system of 34 locks and dams isin operation and 9-foot navigation throughout length Of river is generally available at all times. At certain unstable bars project depth is maintained by dredging, supplemented by otraction works. (See "Open-channel work, Ohio River.") Table A under "Existing project" shows cost and year of comple- tion of locks and dams now in operation. Existing project does ot provide adequate facilities for present-day navigation due to Obsolescence of structures. Since repair and modernization of these facilities would be extremely costly, replacement and re- Construction is being undertaken as rapidly as funds can be made available for the purpose.

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 dis- tricts.on Ohio River, see page 851. Portion of river included in project extends 974.7 miles from head of river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to mouth of Cache River (Mound City, Ill.). Open-channel im- provement 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 with a minimum depth of from 4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending 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 necessary to remove points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along river. Accomplishment of this purpose involved concen- tration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, contraction and straightening 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 OHIO RIVER 859 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 authorized by 1927 River anld Harbor Act; reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula 1ear Evansville, Ind., authorized. by 1930 River and Harbor Act; dredging to widen channel at certain points; and placing revet- !fient at various points. Estimated cost of these items (1954) is$6,565,000. Operation of snag boats on Ohio River below Penn- Sylvania 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 adopted 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 Construct ice piers as a part of project, with funds allotted H.

Doe. 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 co- Operation is not needed since no additional construction is under Consideration. River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for acquir- ing lands required for purpose of this improvement (H. Doc. 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since bank revetment in 1933-34, refor- estation is not considered justifiable at this time and no local Cooperation is required. Terminal facilities. See page 856. Operations and results during fiscal year. Dredging, where re- quired to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions, was executed. Dike and revet- m1ents maintained and routine work of maintaining navigation aids, removing snags, making channel studies, hydrographic sur- Veys and mapping was performed as required. Design memoran- dum for repair of Kentucky Peninsula revetment was completed. Operation and maintenance general: Channel soundings, hydro- graphic surveys, stream gaging operations, channel inspections 860 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 and aids to navigation, and miscellaneous inspections and reports cost $242,268. Dredging was accomplished by hired labor as follows: Huntington District, 137,400 cubic yards at $128,659 and Louisville District, 3,612,950 cubic yards at $810,182. 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. Cost and .financialtatemont.

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 southwestward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to IKentucky, emptying into Ohio River near Smithland, Ky. (See 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 succeeding 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. Dredging in lower river was made unneces- sary 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 861 862 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 196 5 new work for completion of 6-foot navigation project was $4,706," 883, excluding amounts expended on previous projects. For pertinent data concerning locks and dams A to F, see page 1070 of Annual Report for 1962. River and Harbor Act of 1946 author- ized 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 facilities, designated at Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace existing locks A to F, inclusive, below Nash- ville, 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 con- struction of hydroelectric power-generating facilities at Cheat- ham Dam, river mile 148.7, River and Harbor Act of 1954 author- ized 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 construe" tion of a multiple-purpose improvement for navigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power consisting of a dam, lock, and powerplant in vicinity of mile 30.6 on lower Cumberland River and a canal for navigation and other purposes connecting pro- posed reservoir 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, respec- tively. Provision of interconnecting canal, involving excavation of a channel through narrow watershed divide at a point about 2.5 miles upstream from damsite, will make alternative routes avail- able 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 $172,483,300 (July 1965).

Completed for full beneficial use.y 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 varia- tions 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 1avigation 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; provi- Sion also being made for periodic removal of snags and similar obstructions from Nashville (lock and dam 1) to Burnside (327.6 miles). Project as modified by 1930 River and Harbor Act 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 21 were completed and placed in operation during 1888 through 1924. Raising dam 1 by installation of crest wickets was completed in October 1931. 864 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Proposed locks and dams 16 and 17 were eliminated from project upon authorization of Lake Cumberland (Wolf Creek Reservoir), construction of which has also resulted in permanent inundation of lock and dam 21. Further consideration of previously pro- jected locks and dams 9 through 15, inclusive, is precluded under existing project as modified by River and Harbor Act of 1946, prosecution of which resulted in replacing locks and dams 1 through 7 and will eliminate lock and dam 8. For statistical data concerning lock and dam 8, placed in an inoperative status in 1951, see page 1694 of Annual Report for 1950; together with details on locks and dams 1 to 7 and 21, displaced, and other struc- tures 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 Danms above Nashville for navigation and power. Public Law 85-843, provided that dam and reservoir authorized for construction on Cumberland River near Carthage, Tenn., be known as Cordell Hull Dam and Reservoir. Cost of Old Hickory and Cordell Hull projects, including locks, is estimated as $107,481,700 (July 1965) Estimated cost of Celina Dam (1959) is $39,100,000.

In addition to foregoing there are many unimproved private landings along river. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Below Nashville: Under the Cheatham project, recreation facility con- Struction consisted of grading and paving a roadway and 1,900 Square yards parking area, installing 10 picnic units, comfort Station, launching ramp, and additional signs. Construction of Iarkley project was prosecuted under contracts for dam and I)owerplant; highway bridge (Kentucky 453) over interconnect- ing canal; reservoir clearing, under three contracts, one of which wVas awarded during the year; channel dredging; and channel improvements. Contracts were awarded just before end of fiscal Year for construction of damsite improvements (buildings, grounds, and utilities), left bank; stockpiling of topsoil; and in- Stallation of catch basins and drainage piping. Operations con- tinued under supply contracts for the four 58,000-horsepower tur- bines; main unit generators; metal-clad switchgear; control switchboards; outdoor disconnecting switches; 15-kilovolt, 3-con- ductor, low-pressure, gas-filled cable; transformers; 161-kilovolt oil circuit breakers; and several contracts for additional items of switchyard, accessory, and miscellaneous powerplant equipment. 866 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 Relocation activities were performed under numerous cost-reirn- bursable contracts involving the city of Kuttawa, Ky.; public buildings; State and county highways; railroads; and varioUS utilities. Miscellaneous small item construction relating to reser- voir. preparation, navigation channels and safety harbors, and recreation facilities were performed by hired labor, as were preP aration and issuance of plans and specifications for work items contracted during year. Land acquired for project purposes totaled 2,233 acres. Costs for new work were $12,919,884. Above Nashville: Recreation facility construction under the Old Hickory project involved improving existing roads and parking areas, grading and paving 5,000 square yards additional parking area, installing 15 camping units, 2 comfort stations, 10 picnic units, and additional signs. Real estate activities continued, and 141 acres additional lands were approved for fee acquisition in- volving 7 sites. Work was completed under contracts for left- and right-bank access roads to Cordell Hull project site, and con- struction was undertaken under a continuing contract for lock and dam structures. Definite design studies on other project fea- tures were performed by hired labor. Acquired 4,118 acres of project lands. Economic and design studies for revaluating plan of improvement for Celina Dam, for purposes of navigation, power, and recreation, were essentially completed by hired labor. Costs for new work were $6,665,438. Operation and maintenance: Locks B to F, inclusive, BarkleY, Cheatham, and Old Hickory were operated as required. Mainte- nance and improvement operations included unwatering and re- pair of valves at Old Hickory, overhaul of electric motors and other, electrical equipment at Cheatham, and miscellaneous minor repairs to operating equipment at locks B, C, and D. Operation of powerplants was continuous except for normal interruptions and necessary shutdowns for inspection and maintenance pur- poses. Total net energy generated at Cheatham Dam (157,234,000 kw.-hr.) and at Old Hickory Dam (508,637,000 kw.-hr.) was made available through Department of the Interior to Tennessee Valley Authority for distribution. Activities under reservoir manage- ment program comprising malaria control, shoreline sanitation, land management and disposal, and maintenance of public-use fa- cilities continued. Channel snagging and dredging was done by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Below Nashville: Locks and dams A to F, inclusive, under 6-foot navigation project for this section of river were constructed during 1895 to 1923. Full all- year project depth between mouth and Nashville was obtained in December 1935 with completion of work for surmounting the dams with movable crests. Subject to replacement by new facilities under construction, lock and dam A was closed to navigation Sep- tember 22, 1954, and structures demolished. Locks F and E were closed July 17, 1964, and April 1, 1965, respectively, and inundated with partial impoundment of Lake Barkley. Under authorized modification of existing project for multiple-purpose development, including further improvement below Nashville for 9-foot navigation, new work as a whole is about 93 percent corn- RIVERS AND HARBORS -NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 867 Plete. Construction of Cheatham lock and dam commenced in April 1950. Lock was opened to navigation December 1952 and project completed for full beneficial use with placement of last Power unit in normal operation November 1960. See page 1078 of 1962 Annual Report for chronology of construction. Under authority for provision of additional recreational facilities at com- Pleted projects to meet increased public-use demands, 9 boat aunching ramps were graded and paved and the following in- stalled: 75 picnic tables and 4 shelters; 32 grills; and 10 comfort Stations. Proposed additional recreational facility construction remains for accomiplishment under Cheatham project. Opera- tions under contract for initial phase of construction on Barkley project (cofferdam and excavation for lock; left-bank embank- ment section; and access road), started in June 1957, were com- Pleted in February 1959. Construction contracts have since been completed for navigation lock (placed in temporary operation JUly 8, 1964), right-bank cofferdam and portion of embank- rlent, powerplant equipment, storage area, water supply system at project site, lock approach excavation, air conditioning lock Operations building, Kentucky Highway 453 bridge crossing canal, reservoir clearing (7 contracts), channel dredging, and channel improvements. Work under contract for construction of inter- connecting canal was completed in November 1962; removal of plug at Kentucky Reservoir end will be done under a separate contract upon filling of Lake Barkley. A continuing contract for construc- tion of dam and powerplant is 89 percent complete. Under con- tracts awarded for site improvements, stockpiling topsoil, and installation of catch basins and drainage piping, work was com- menced only on the latter. Supply contracts for following have been fulfilled or are essentially complete: Hydraulic turbines; gOVernors; 110-ton intake gantry crane; 16-ton draft tube gantry crane; 275-ton indoor powerhouse crane; metal-clad switchgear; 4 80-volt station service switchgear and transformers; control sWitchboards and motor-generators; auxiliary power distribution centers; carrier current equipment; carrier current telephone transmitter-receivers; outdoor lightning arrester; outdoor dis- connecting switches; 15-kilovolt, 3-conductor, low-pressure, gas- filled cable; 161-kilovolt oil circuit breakers; and 14.4-kilovolt Outdoor oil circuit breakers.

Work has not commenced under reimb uirs able contract for relocation of municipal building and city jail, Kuttawa, Ky., due to inability of city to obtain satisfactory bid. Reservoir lands acquired to date, 102,298 acres (78,401 in fee and 24,287 in easement), represent 98 percent of project require ments. Barkley project is about 90 percent complete. Total new work costs for this section to June 30, 1965, were $165,904,043' including $685,000 public works funds. Above Nashville: Prior to modification of existing project for this section of river in 1946, locks and dams 1 to 8, inclusive, and 21 had been completed; initiation of work on lock and dan&tm 1 in September 1888 marking commencement of constructionL un der project. 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 885), which also eliminated projected locks and dams 16 and 17. Operation of lock 21 was discontinued May 4, 1947; custodial serv* ices only being maintained until May 31, 1949, at which time the structure was abandoned. Lock and dam 1, demolished in con- nection with construction of Cheatham project below Nashville, 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 December 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 Car- thage, Tenn., at river mile 308, present head of navigation. Lock and dam 8, placed in an inoperative status November 30, 1951, will be displaced with construction of Cordell Hull lock and dam which will extend the 9-foot waterway to the Celina damsite, river mile 385.7, at the Kentucky-Tennessee State line. New work un- der authorized modification of existing project for this section of river, as a whole, is 40 percent complete. Engineering and design are 63 percent complete. Construction of Old Hickory under modified project was undertaken in January 1952. The lock waS opened to navigation in June 1954, and project completed for full beneficial use December 1957 with placement of last power unit in commercial operation. Further details are given on page 1080 of Annual Report for 1962. Grading and paving 43 boat launch- ing ramps and installation of 157 concrete picnic tables, 149 out- door grills, 10 pit-type and 4 flush-type toilets, and 4 picnic shelters accomplished under program for provision of additional RIVERS AND HARBORS -NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT 869 reational facilities at completed projects to meet increased o blic-use demands. Proposed additional recreational facility Construction remains for accomplishment under project. Con- truction of Cordell Hull project started May 1963 and contracts or first-stage cofferdam and access roads to damsite are com- lete. Operations under continuing contract for lock and dam atures, initiated in July 1964, are about 27 percent complete. Total lands acquired (4,664 acres) represent 18 percent of project 19quirements. Total new work costs for this section to June 30, 65, were $61,766,605. Operation and maintenance of struc- Ures: Locks B to D, inclusive, and Barkley, Cheatham, and Old Ckory locks were in operation at end of year; structures, chan- Is, and appurtenances were maintained in serviceable condition.

River and Harbor Act of 1930 authorized iermanent improvement of river for a navigable depth of 9 feet at low water from mouth about 650 miles to Knoxville, Tenn., to be obtained by construction of low dams; provided, that under pro- Visions of Federal Water Power Act a high dam with locks may be Substituted for any two or more low dams and built by private interests, States, or municipalities; and provided further, that in case high dams are built before the United States builds projected 870 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 locks and low dams which are to be replaced, the United States shall contribute to cost of substituted structures an amount equal to estimated cost of work of navigation for which substitution is made. (See H. Doc. 328, 71st Cong., 2d sess.) Above-mentione act also authorized appropriation of $5 million for prosecutionf work on this project. Only construction performed by the Corps thereunder was construction of lock at General Joe Wheeler Da and miscellaneous appurtenant improvements at a new work cost of $2,244,236. Under provisions of Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933, as amended by act of August 31, 1935, Tennessee Valley Authority is given power to construct such dams in Ten- nessee River as will provide a 9-foot channel and maintain a water supply for same from Knoxville to its mouth. Tennessee Valley Authority program provided for obtaining authorized 9-foot proJ ect by construction of high dams and locks and utilization o certain locks and dams previously constructed under jurisdiction of the Corps.

WOODLAND STREET BRIDGE ACROSS CUMBERLAND RIVER, NASHVILLE, TENN. Location. Woodland Street bridge crosses Cumberland River at mile 190.7, within port of Nashville, Tenn., the present terminus for major portion of freight movements on the waterway. (See eological Survey quadrangle, Nashville West, Tenn.) r Existing project. Provides for construction of a new bridge to replace an outmoded, badly deteriorated structure which was built in 1886. The present bridge affords vertical clearances in Conformance with current standards, but pier arrangement re- ults in inadequate horizontal clearances which present a serious bbstruction and hazard to traffic movements. Reconstruction has been undertaken by local interests with participation of the ederal government to provide a structure satisfying require- ments of both navigation and overland traffic. It will provide vertical clearances of 70 and 38 feet above normal and maximum regulated water levels, respectively; and, with elimination of the center pier, will leave a clear and unobstructed channel 300 feet ide. Following a public hearing at Nashville, Tenn., on 8 earch 29, 1962, a notice to alter existing bridge was issued by Scretary of the Army on May 6, 1963, as authorized by Truman- 1 obbs Act of June 21, 1940, as amended. Under agreement of apportionment, the estimated Federal share of cost of new work (July 1963), including supervision and administrative costs of $24000, is $1,087,000; and estimated cost to local interests, $81,000. bLocal cooperation. In accordance with Truman-Hobbs Act, t idge owner must (a) prepare and submit plans and specifica- tions; (b) take and submit bids with a recommendation as to the most competent bid; (c) submit a written guaranty that total cost of project will not exceed a stated sum; and (d) bear pro- Portionate share of total cost of project as determined by Secre- tary of the Army.

PAINT ROCK RIVER, ALA. Location. A tributary of Tennessee River. Formed by con- luence of Estill and Hurricane Forks, in northwest corner of ackson County, Ala., flows generally south about 60 miles and empties into Wheeler Reservoir at a point 5.8 miles below Gunters- Ville Damr and 12 miles northwest of town of Guntersville, Mar- Shall County, Ala. Existing project. Improvement was authorized by 1954 Flood Control Act in general accordance with recommendations of Senate Document 161, 83d Congress, 2d session, 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, cOm bined with a drainage system to be constructed by local inter- ests. Plan provides for clearing, cleaning, and minor straight- ning of channel of Paint Rock River for about 53 miles, extending from about mile 7 (above mouth) to its head at junction of HTurri- cane and Estill Forks; and for similar work within lowermost reaches of principal tributary streams as follows: Little Paint Creek, 4.8 miles; Guess Creek, 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 Udlertaking by local interests of drainage and related works on nOme 27,000 acres of land within watershed. Flows resulting orm more rapid concentration of runoff from upstream drainage Works will be accommodated by improved channel without raising crest elevations over those occurring under natural conditions. Major benefits will result from increased net returns from agri- cultural lands and reduced maintenance on existing improve- lents. Estimated (July 1965) cost of project is $2,522,000, of Which $1,737,000 is for upstream drainage works, to be pro- Vided entirely by local interests, and $785,000 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: $536,300 for construction, Federal; and $249,000 for ands and damages, non-Federal. Local cooperation. Flood Control Act of 1936, as amended, applies. Local interests must also construct and maintain local drainage works required to fully and effectively utilize improved 880 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 outlet system.

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 prominent Physiographic feature at head of Lake Cumberland which is 886 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 formed by Wolf Creek Dam. Reservoir will extend 19.2 miles uP" stream to site of Corbin, Ky., water-supply dam and lie within Laurel and Whitley Counties. th Existing project. Project approved in general accordance with recommendations of House Document 413, 86th Congress, by 196 Flood Control Act, as amended by Public Law 88-253 of December 30, 1963, was designed for urposes of flood control, power, and recreation as an integral unit of a coordinated plan for develop ment of water resources of Cumberland River Basin. With the view of a net gain in power potential on a system basis, the plan of improvement incorporated appropriate flood control storagee the proposed project and corresponding adjustment in operations of Lake Cumberland (Wolf Creek Dam) for flood control and power, which in effect constituted a transfer of reservoir capacitY without entailing a change in flood control benefits. Further detailed study giving full consideration to power capabilities and marketing arrangements indicated the advantage of m ainin present storage allocation at Wolf Creek and use of all availabl d storage capacity of Laurel River Reservoir for power. As mode fled within discretionary authority of the Chief of Engineers, the project is now planned for construction in primary interests 0 power production and recreation, at an estimated cost of $22,7 000 000 (July 1965). Dam will be rockfill type, approximately 1,42 feet long and about 275 feet above streambed. An uncontrolled 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 int main stream some distance below project site. A powerhouse0 conventional indoor-type, with an installation of 61,000 kilow t in a single unit, is to be directly at downstream toe of dam.n top of power pool, spillway crest at elevation 1018.5 above mean sea level, reservoir will cover 6,060 acres. It will provide a total storage capacity of 435,600 acre-feet below elevation 1018.5, in cluding active storage of 185,000 acre-feet within a drawdow range of 36.5 feet allocated for power production, and leaving a pool of at least 250,600 acre-feet at elevation 982, covering an area of 4,200 acres, available at all times for public use and conserva" tion purposes.

Provides for improvement of river bytire locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its eta 1 length from Pittsburgh to above Fairmont, W. Va. Origin locks and dams 7, 8 and 9 were replaced by new locks and damn and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated enlargement an improvement of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by building two parallel chambers and fixe 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 moder RIVERS AND HARBORS --PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 969 cen satlon chambers. Locks and dams 5 and 6 are now obsoles- lock and inadequate for present traffic. Construction of Maxwell locks and dam and raising dam 4 is underway to replace these old iclusirall and antiquated original locks and dams 10 to 15, galtve, are being replaced by three modern structures. Mor- coptn lock and dam, initial step in replacement program, was brandeed in 1950 replacing locks and dams 10 and 11. Hilde- replac lock and dam, next upstream, was completed in 1959 also cing locks and dams 12 and 13.

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 Geological Survey Charts for Fairmont, Thornton, 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 1935 River and Harbor Act. For further project description see Annual Report for 1962. Cost of new work for completed project is $18.431,844. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and RIVERS AND HARBORS -PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 973 maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated for benefit of flood control and low water regulation, as required, and project structures were maintained in a serviceable condition. Moder- ate to heavy rainfalls during January and March 1965 accom- Panied by snowmelt caused three minor flood rises along the M1onongahela and upper Ohio Rivers during which this reservoir, in coordination with other reservoirs in the upper Ohio River Basin, achieved reductions. For the rise of January 1st-3d, crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir varied from 1.6 feet at lock 15, Monongahela River, W. Va., to 1 foot on Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. For the rise of January 23d-25th, crest stage reductions by this reservoir varied from 2.1 feet at lock 15, Monongahela River to 1 foot at Pittsburgh, Pa. For the rise of March 4th and 5th, crest stage reduction by this reservoir at Pittsburgh, Pa. was 0.05 foot. Crest stages on Ohio River at Pittsburgh for these minor flood rises were 17.0, 17.1, and 18.1 feet on 4th and 25th of January and 6th of March respectively (pool limit, 17 feet). During the two January rises, storage into the reservoir averted. suspension to navigation at lock 5, Monongahela River for 11/2 days. In conjunction with other res- ervoirs during four moderate rises, including the two January and March rises, the reservoir prevented overtopping of Monongahela parking wharf in Pittsburgh for 51/3 days. Estimated flood con- trol benefits achieved by this reservoir for the year were $22,800. Total flood control benefits to June 30, 1965, are $59,841,200. Reservoir storage attained highest elevation of the year 1098.5, on March 28, 1965, with a storage of 119,200 acre-feet or 39 percent full. Some reservoir management activity was continued throughout the year, comprising sanitation measures, real estate management and operation and maintenance of public-use facili- ties. This work was limited in scope as the State of West Vir- ginia has jurisdiction over recreation in reservoir area. Condition at end of fiscal year.' Authorized project is complete. Reservoir is in operation for low water control in Monongahela River and for purpose of flood protection in Monongahela and Ohio Valleys. Construction of dam was started in 1935 and placed in operation in 1938.

EAU GALLE RIVER, WIS. Location. At and in vicinity of Spring Valley, Wis., on Eau Galle River 30 miles above its mouth at Chippewa River, and its tributary, Mines Creek, which flows through the village. Spring Valley is about 45 miles east of St. Paul, Minn., and 36 miles west of Eau Claire, Wis. (See Geological Survey map for Wisconsin for general location.) Existing project. Authorized plan improvement as modi- fled by. further studies includes a retarding dam and reservoir on ,of Eau Galle River immediately upstream from Spring Valley, and remedial works on Mines Creek including channel enlargement, a low levee and a drop structure designed to reduce velocities prior to discharge into Eau Galle River. Project provides for earth and rockfill dam with maximum height of 122 feet, top width of 20 feet, and top length of about 1,760 feet; an uncontrolled outlet consisting of a horseshoe conduit 9 feet 9 inches high, and about 660 feet long with a morning glory intake, and a spillway begin- ning about 500 feet west from the right abutment of the dam emerging above Mines Creek. Uncontrolled spillway consists of an unlined chute about 1,650 feet long with a concrete sill at crest elevation of 1,020 feet, 18.5 feet below top of dam. Dan" would create a permanent conservation pool at elevation 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 maximum flood of record (1942), would be stored. Between elevation 997.5 and crest of high-level spillway at elevation 1020.0, 17,800 acre-feet of added space permits par- tial 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 acre-feet below spillway crest. For 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. Pro- posed Eau Galle River channel about 2,060 feet long would have a general bottom width of 70 feet. Remedial work proposed FLOOD CONTROL-ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT 1031 fn Mines Creek consists of construction of about 1,555 feet of levee, on right bank in upper part of project, and channel Straightening and enlargement to a 40-foot-bottom width from m1outh to a point 1,292 feet upstream, and a 15-foot-bottom width for 748 feet and then tapered to existing channel all at upstream end of the improvement. Proposed improvements on Burghardt Creek were eliminated. Improvements would provide complete rotectioni in vicinity of Spring Valley for standard project flood, and below that point in decreasing value in proportion to distance from reservoir. Permanent conservation pool will serve a local need for a recreational area. Estimated Federal cost (1965) for new work is $6,160,000. Project was authorized by 1958 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 52, 84th Cong., 1st sess., which Contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way for construction; hold the United States free from da.mages; make all highway, bridge, and utility alterations; main- tain all channel improvement works; establish and enforce flood- channel limits for protection against further encroachments 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 lim- its; and regulate construction of bridges or other structures Crossing improved waterways. Assurances for Mines Creek por- tionfl of project were accepted September 13, 1963, and for re- flainder of the project November 5, 1964. Lands for entire proj- ect have been furnished. Village of Eau Galle made necessary relocation agreements. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Plans and specifications for the dam, spillway, and Eau Galle River channel were completed by hired labor at a cost for the year of $230,029. A contract for work on Mines Creek was completed at a cost of $162,070. A contract for construction of dam, spillway, and channel improvement was awarded. Condition at end of fiscal year. A contract for work at Mines Creek was started in January and completed in October 1964. No work has been done on the main contract. Abandonment of the Chicago, North Western Railway is pending. That portion of Mines Creek levee affected by the railroad remains to be con- structed. Project as a whole is 14 percent complete.

ARMY, 1965 water streams of Park River, rise in Cavalier County in north- eastern North Dakota and flow easterly to an almost common confluence near Grafton, N. Dak., forming main stream which flows easterly 35 miles to join Red River of the North about 35 miles south of international boundary. (For general location, see Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project. See page 1285 of Annual Report for 1962. Project was authorized as Park River Reservoir by 1944 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 194, 78th Cong., 2d sess.), and redesignated Homme Reservoir and Dam by Public Law 435, 80th Congress, 2d session. Latest published map is in project document. Estimated Federal cost (1965) for new work is $1,375,300.1 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Estimated total costs for all requirements of local cooperation under terms o 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. New work: Recre- ational planning was done by hired labor. Maintenance: Struc- ture was operated and minor repairs accomplished by hired labor. At start of fiscal year, HIomme Reservoir was at elevation 1080.15, 0.15 foot above normal pool. Drawdown to elevation 1078.0 was started July 16, 1964, to facilitate inspection of the spillwaY section. Heavy rains starting at this time raised the reservoir from 1079.6 to 1080.2 by July 22. Discharge was increased to 100 cubic feet per second for 5 days lowering reservoir level to 1077.8 on July 27. After the inspection the outflow was reduced to about 1 cubic foot per second filling the reservoir to 1080.4 bY January 15, 1965, when discharge was increased to 8, then 17 cubic feet per second to keep water from going over the spillway section during the winter. On January 25, 1965, city of Grafton requested water to fill its local reservoirs. This was accomplished with a discharge from HIomme Dam of about 19 cubic feet per second. Outflow was reduced to 4 cubic feet per second on February 4, 1965. Drawdown of the reservoir to 1069.1 was completed by the end of March. Rainfall on the 3d through 11th of April filled the reservoir to 1083.7 by the latter date. Peak flow during this period was 3,500 cubic feet per second and the peak outflow was 2,500 cubic feet per second. Continued rainfall kept the reservoir level 0.2 to 0.4 foot above conservation level until the latter part of June. Reservoir level at end of fiscal year was at 1080.0, conservation level. 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 1Marsh Lake and Granite Falls, Minn. (For general location, see Geologi- cal Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 1291 of Annual Report for 1962 Estimated cost (1965) 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 maintenance. At start of fiscal year Lac qui Parle Reservoir was at elevation 931.9, 0.7 foot above conservation level. Heavy rains kept the stage above conservation level until the end of July 1964. Stage was maintained between 931.0 and 931.2 until latter part of December. By March 10, 1965, the reservoir ele- vation was down to 930.8. Further withdrawals reduced the level to 929.7 by end of March. Breakup starting about April 1, raised reservoir to conservation level by April 7, and to 939.7 bY April 14. Reservoir level was then lowered to 931.2 by May 11, 1965. Additional heavy rains again raised reservoir level to 939.88 by June 10. At end of fiscal year the reservoir was 5.8 feet above conservation level and falling. Discharges from the reservoir varied during the year between a low of 27 cubic feet per second in February to a high of 10,200 cubic feet per second April 14, 1965. Flood stage of 14 feet at Montevideo was exceeded from April 10 to 20, 1965. Flood stage was not exceeded at Montevideo during a second rise in May and June because of storage in Lac qui Parle Reservoir. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was transferred from State of Minnesota to United States in September 1950 and has been operated by the Government since that time. The United States owns fee title to 516.3 acres of land and easements on 19,826.7 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 except for recreational facilities. All structures are in good con- dition.

(For general location See Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) Existing project. See page 1287 of Annual Report for 1962. Prstimated Federal cost (1965) of new work is $2,883,900. hroject 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. pLocal cooperation. See page 1288 of Annual Report for 1962. trovisions of local cooperation complied with except for construc- ion of Fargo diversion dam and ditch for which assurances fur- ished by city of Fargo were approved by Secretary of War on une 26, 1947. Plans for this feature have been prepared. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering for recreational facilities was accomplished at a cost of $6,990 by hired labor and work on a picnic shelter, parking area, and toilets as completed by contract at a cost of $10,937, both for new work. roject was operated and minor repairs were made to structures for maintenance by hired labor. Pool elevation at Baldhill Dam at start of fiscal year was 1266.4, 0.4 foot above conservation level and was down to conservation level by July 11, 1964. Discharge averaging about 15 cubic feet per second plus evaporation reduced the reservoir level to 1265.5 by August 21. Above-normal rain- fall raised the level to 1266.2 by the end of August. Discharge averaging about 30 cubic feet per second again reduced the reservoir to conservation level by the middle of September. This level was held until the middle of October. Outflow from about 1st of November was maintained at about 45 cubic feet per second which reduced reservoir level to 1264.5 by the 1st- of March. On March 16, 1965, outflow was increased to lower reservoir level to 1263.0 by the 1st of April. Rainfall during early April fell on deeply frozen ground producing a high rate of runoff, raising reservoir stage to conservation level by April 10, Cresting at 1268.0 on April 14. Drawdown to conservation level 1266.0 was accomplished by May 5, 1965, being held within 0.2 foot until end of fiscal year. Due to local runoff and moderately high discharge from the full reservoir, flood stage of 13 feet in Valley City was exceeded from April 13 to 25, reaching a maximum stage of 14.92 April 16, 1965. Maximum discharge Was 2,800 cubic feet per second. Damage was minor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project completed in March 1956 except construction of recreational facilities, which is being accomplished intermittently. 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.

LAKE TRAVERSE AND BOIS DE SIOUX RIVER, S. DAK. AND MINN. Location. 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 Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 1289 of Annual Report for 1962. Estimated (1965) 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. Project was oper- ated and minor maintenance repairs made by hired labor. Lake Traverse Reservoir is divided into two parts known as Lake Tra- verse and Mud Lake. At start of fiscal year both portions of the reservoir were at their respective conservation levels, 976.0 and 972.0. Due to evaporation losses and below normal rainfall, these reservoirs dropped to 975.2 and 971.4 by August 20. Above normal rainfall from August 20 to 30 produced only a small gain of 0.2 foot in both portions of the reservoir. By the end of October both portions were 1 foot below conservation levels, remaining thus until the end of March 1965. Runoff from snow- melt and rainfall raised both parts of reservoir to their conserva- tion levels by April 7, 1965. Lake Traverse crested at 977.7 on April 12 and Mud Lake at 975.8 on April 21. By the 1st of May, Lake Traverse was down to conservation level but White Rock remained about 2 feet above that point. Heavy rains on June 1 on the Lake Traverse portion caused the lake to rise almost 2 feet in 3 hours, reaching a maximum elevation of 978.0. White Rock Pool reached a maximum level of 977.0 on June 12. At end of fiscal year Lake Traverse was at conservation level but White Rock was 2.7 feet above that point. Discharges from White Rock Dam crested at 1,380 cubic feet per second. 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. White Rock Dam and Reservation control structures are in operation, and structures and appurtenances are in good condition. Roadways across structures are open to public travel. FLOOD CONTROL--ST.

Stimated Federal cost (1965) for new work is $3,053,000 com- Posed of $3,042,000 for construction by the Corps and $11,000 for bridge approaches by Bureau of Indian Affairs. Project was authorized by 1944 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 345, 78th Cong., 1st sess., which contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with except that lands for Marsh restoration work must be furnished by the Indian Service. Operations and results during fiscal year. Study of water levels in marshes on Red Lake River, and construction engineer- ing were accomplished by hired labor at a cost of $2,532 for new Work. By agreement with the Indian Service, that agency awarded a contract for construction of a new bridge on Clear- Water Road over the Clearwater River with payment to be made by the Corps. Cost of this work for the year was $39,258 for new work. Structures were operated and maintained and mis- cellaneous inspections and reports were made by hired labor. At Start of fiscal year, reservoir level was at elevation 1174.6, about 0.6 foot above project level. Discharges were maintained at about 100 cubic feet per second until the level dropped to 1174.0 by mid-August, remaining between 1174.0 and 1174.2 until the end of December 1964. Drawdown of the reservoir commenced about January 1, 1965, and by the end of March the reservoir Was down to 1173.8. Discharge was maintained at about 600 cubic feet per second until the first week of April then reduced to about 9 cubic feet per second. Beginning about April 1, snow- melt and spring rains began to fill the reservoir. Discharge was again increased to about 300 cubic feet per second on April 23 when the level reached 1174.3 The level continued to rise 1038 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 throughout May and June, reaching a maximum level of 1175.4 the middle of June. Discharge was increased to about 600 cubic feet per second June 25, less than downstream channel capacity. Level at end of fiscal year was 1175.3, 1.3 feet above conservation level. 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 was assumed by the Corps on April 1, 1951. Channels are in good condition and indicate effectiveness of project as a flood control measure. Cost and financial statement .

Discharge during July was about 300 cubic feet per second and the reservoir level was maintained between 1048.1 and 1049.2. About July 25 the discharge was reduced to about 60 cubic feet per second and reservoir was allowed to fill. By September 10, 1964, level was up to 1068.7 and discharge was increased to 150 cubic feet per second to meet water requirements of the sugar processing industry at Moorhead, Minn. Reservoir continued to rise, reaching 1071.2 by end of September. Discharge was 1040 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 then increased to about 350 cubic feet per second and continued through most of October, reducing to about 200 cubic feet per second at the end of the month and maintained at that rate until the end of January 1965. A further reduction to 175 cubic feet per second was made about February 1, and held until about March 1, when it was increased to about 225 cubic feet per second, lowering the reservoir level to 1048.0 by the end of March. Snowmelt and spring rains began to fill the reservoir after 1st of April, reaching 1068.6 by mid-April. Drawdown began again with the reservoir reaching elevation 1063.4 by the first part of June. At this time heavy rains again raised the level to 1068.44 by June 12, 1965. Reservoir level was at 1061.2 by end of fiscal year. Maximum discharge during the year occurred from MaY 15 to June 7, 1965, at about 1,050 cubic feet per second. Only minor flooding was reported. Condition at end of fiscal year.

(For general location see Geological Sur- Vey map of Minnesota.) J3Existing project. Provides for protection of west side area of St Paul exclusive of airport area, by means of levees, floodwalls and interior-drainage facilities and for protection of South St. Paul by raising and extending existing flood barrier and provid- lg additional facilities for interior drainage. Improvements as authorized were designed with a freeboard of 3 feet to protect against a peak floodflow of 168,000 cubic feet per second. Be- cause of severe floods in the spring of 1965 the South St. Paul barrier will be redesigned to protect against a peak flow of 190,000 cubic feet per second. At request of city of St. Paul, an additional area to be used as an industrial park was protected with Payment by the city. Flood barrier at St. Paul extends about 3 miles, including about 12,700 feet of earth levee, 3,100 feet of flOodwall, and appurtenant works, including eight closure struc- tures and three pumping stations. At South St. Paul the flood barrier will be continuous for 2.5 miles, providing a complete enclosure for meat packing plants and stockyards, consisting of 10,685 feet of earth levee, 1,764 feet of floodwalls, four closure structures totaling about 529 feet, interior-drainage facilities in- cluding two new pumping stations and conversion of lower reach of existing Wentworth Avenue sewer into a pressure conduit. These dimensions will be changed slightly by the redesign. Esti- mated cost (1965) for new work at St. Paul is $2,780,000 and $464,000 to be contributed by local interests under authorized project. Estimated U.S. cost (1965) for new work at South St. Paul is $5,270,000 and $101,000 to be contributed by local in- terests. An additional $201,000 was contributed by city of St. Paul to cover work they requested. Project was authorized by 1958 Flood Control Act (H.

Rehabilitation: Work on reconstruction of 1,840 feet of north breakwater was completed, by contract, at a cost of $407,478. A contract was awarded for reconstruction of an additional 450 feet of north breakwater. Government costs were $29,060. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 73 percent complete. The 1962 modification remains to be comn pleted. North breakwater, 9,954 feet long, was completed in August 1925. North pier was completed in 1905 and construec tion of south pier was completed in November 1910. Construe" tion of south breakwater and shore connection was commenced in May 1925 and completed in October 1929. Dredging entrance channel to existing project depth and width was commenced i1 May 1929 and completed in September 1930. Prior to modifica tion of August 30, 1935, the city of Milwaukee dredged most of the area in the outer harbor south of inner entrance piers and lake- ward of pierhead line to more than 21 feet below datum without cost to the United States. City of Milwaukee also dredged a por- tion of the area in the outer harbor north of the inner entrance piers to provide an approach channel to the passenger and aLuto pier opposite East Clybourn Street. Work on the 1945 modifica' tion was started in June and completed in August 1957, except for the inactive portion. North breakwater is in generally good condition except the northerly 2,000 feet which requires minor remedial repairs. 450 feet of the outer north shore connection breakwater is being rehabilitated. South breakwater and shore connections are in generally good condition. Controlling depths at low water datum were 21 feet and more in entrance channel through outer basin and between the piers; 21 feet in the Mil" waukee River to Buffalo Street Bridge and about 18 feet thence to head of project; 21 feet in Kinnickinnic River to head of pr°Je ect east of the Kinnickinnic Avenue Bridge; and 21 feet in the Menomonee River to 700 feet east of the head of the project; 1~ feet to 150 feet east of the head of the project, and thence reduc" ing to 5 feet at the head, and 21 feet in the South Menomonee Canal and Burnham Canal to the head of the project in these channels.

On August 13, 1964, the Chief Engineers recommended modification of the existing project as fIlows: (a) 24 feet deep in outer portion of approach channel rorn deep water in Lake Michigan to a point 500 feet landward of ends of breakwaters (Sta. 8+00) over a width bounded by the %4'ide existing channel lines lakeward of breakwaters and 500 feet wide breakwaters; thence 23 feet deep in inner portion of ap- Proach channel to outer end of north inner pier (Sta. 0+00), de- .Creasing from 500 to 160 feet wide; thence 22 feet deep between ller piers to Lake Betsie. (b) Extend length of inner harbor basin an additional 350 feet easterly to provide an overall length of about 1,550 feet. Additional length will have same depth as existing basin, 18 feet. (c) A depth of 10 feet in a recreational craft anchorage area 300 by 600 feet, located adjacent to proposed east limit of harbor basin and bounded on the north by an exten- slon of northern boundary of existing basin. Eastern limit will be an extension of Seventh Avenue. Total estimated Federal post, (July 1964) is $250,000 for construction with an estimated increase in the cost of annual maintenance of $5,000. Estimated required non-Federal cash contribution is $33,000. Recom- mended modification was submitted to Congress March 4, 1965, (S.

In the region described, previous projects ch ake Survey have specified provision of complete navigation Dr its designed to suit needs of existing use of waters. These coI Jects, in addition to hydrographic and topographic surveys, coteniplated establishment of requisite horizontal and vertical antrol where not already in existence, and measurement and other factors pertaining to navigation. A comprehen- offalysis f0Ve statement concerning prior projects on the Great Lakes, and fornulation of "a general project covering to completion the op- $ ations of the Survey" appeared in Annual Report for 1907, pages Do4 to 850. Responsibilities under prior projects in Great Lakes of the region rtionaspects, covered, apart from charting and naviga- 4loral consisted of those pertaining to lake levels, hy- drology, and hydraulics of connecting and outflow rivers. The S907 Annual Report, referred to above in connection with chart- ng and navigational portions of the project, also discussed prior aid existing responsibilities in these respects. A board ap- aointed 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 ap- bilities. January 21, 1935, as basic description of such responsi- Proved chisting project. Portion of existing project concerned with charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. arious classes of charts are issued consisting essentially of gen- eral charts employing small scales; coastal, river, and sectional Oharts employing medium scales; harbor and confined locality °arts employing large scales; and special charts such as those tor recreational use employing scales suitable for purposes in- ended. Number of charts and individual chart scales and cov- erages are not fixed, project being made purposely flexible to 1241 1242 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY, 1965 permit alterations to keep abreast of changing needs. Essential to charting, and pertinent to lake levels and hydraulics as andell is the portion of project relating to maintenance of horizontal ander vertical control coverage. ' Original control was established under early projects in connection with initial surveys by U.. Sake Survey on the Great' Lakes and by other Government agencies in the other areas of the district.: Original control has been pre-d served wherever possible; where destroyed, it has been replad- as needed; and where necessary, it has been augmented bY adher ditional control for use in connection with later surveys and other Corps work. Project includes publications with information frts. benefit of navigation in addition to that provided by charta These consist of such publications as the Great Lakes Pilot nd 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 chang ing conditions not adapted to adequate or prompt representato on charts. ,.The supplements, issued monthly during the rhe Lakes navigation season, provide corrections and-additions to th Pilot. Lake and river level bulletins permit maximum utilization of navigational depths in Federal projects and elsewhere. Since 1859, lake level gages installed and operated by U.S. Lake SurveY have provided a continuous, record of water levels of the Great Lakes and their connecting rivers. Present project provides for continued, operation of a comprehensive gage network. In the fields of applied hydraulics and hydrology, present project pro° r vides for continuing studies of all aspects thereof required fea discharge of Corps: of Engineers responsibilities on the Gread Lakes. Chief of Engineers on December 20, 1962, authori.e establishment of a Lake Survey Research Division to make scier tific investigations of all aspects of fresh-water oceanographY re- lating to development; and utilization of water resources of d Great Lakes system, in conjunction with which field surveys and observations are accomplished, data collected and analyzed, sne reports published.

Studies to determine effects of the 27-foot navigation project in the St. Clair-Detroit River system and to determine effectiveness of Detroit River co n pensating works started in fiscal year 1963 were continued il fiscal year 1965. Discharge measurements were conducted o° Detroit River at Fort Wayne section, and St. Clair River at Port Huron, Mich.-Sarnia, Ontario, Bay Point section during sumnier of 1964; the latter also during fall of 1964. Reduction of data ob tained from the summer and fall meterings and reports thereon were completed. Water level data were collected at 48 permanent gaging stations during ~ the fiscal year. Telemetering system added in 1964 to U.S. Lake Survey gage at Gibralter, .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 of Lake Erie and lower Detroit River was continued. Construc- tion was completed on new gage installations at Sturgeon .BaY Canal, Wis., Pt. Iroquois, Mich., and Harbor Beach, Mich. In ad- U.S. LAKE SURVEY 1243 dOn to operations listed above, many data of a hydraulic and se 'ologic nature were collected, reduced, tabulated, and dis- 'finated Engineering and scientific analyses and studies were Cenze of these data and reports prepared thereon for use by North C1 rip larian and otherand al Division its districts and also by navigation, power, public and private interests. Consulting engi- o~ering services were furnished North Central Division and its Sstricts and to various international commissions, boards, and ri inttees concerned with the Great Lakes and their outflow deers, including the St. Lawrence River. Details of the latter are froeied later herein.

A sim- ila survey was made of the inshore area along south shore of Yde Mlichigan from Gary, Ind,, to South Haven, Mich. Another survey was made covering the portion of the Grand d irographic i er from Lake Michigan to the mouth of Bass River. The upper thailes of this portion had never been charted, and the new chart chaWrill be published of this area is another in the recreational sele ing program. Revisory surveys started in fiscal year 1964 at mler ed sites on Lake Erie were completed. Similar surveys were hade along the Niagara and St. Lawrence River and in all U.S. haelrbors on Lake Ontario. Revisory surveys were also made of Riected harbors on Lake Michigan and along Detroit and St. Clair aRers Maintenance of vertical control network in appropriate areas Was accomplished coincident with the revisory survey pro- Lak Seventeen special water level gages in selected harbors on Lakes Erie and Ontario, which were installed late in fiscal year 96q4, ere operated for the first three months of fiscal year 1965, dd 32 similar gages were installed in May 1965 and operated dering June in selected harbors on Lakes Huron and Michigan for tha fying or establishing vertical control.
