Above recommended modifications were independently justified and could have been constructed either singly or concurrently. Adoption of all above modifications were recommended subject to condition that local interests provide lands and rights-of-way for construction and subsequent maintenance, and hold the United States free from damages including such damage as may occur to oysterbeds. Terminal facilities. There are 35 waterfront facilities serving port of Bridgeport, all of which are used or in usable condition. Numerous handling facilities are predominant in every section of harbor. Although more than 70 percent of total number of docks are marginal wharf-type structures in constricted waterways, there are, however, several offshore wharf-and pier-type structures in open waters of main harbor. All piers, wharves, or docks are accessible by paved roadways, but only half have rail connections with rail line serving port area. Three wharves are owned by city of Bridgeport and three others may be used by public 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, maintenance: Project condition survey of Black Rock Harbor was made in June 1968. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is complete except for inactive portion. Hydraulic improvement dredging at Bridgeport Harbor was commenced in April and completed August 1962. Improvement dredging in main ship channel was commenced in March 1961 and completed in June 1962. Grading and fill at Stratford, Conn. was completed in March 1963. Removal of rock and ordinary material from 35-foot main channel was commenced in May and completed in June 1963. Dredging of two 6-foot anchorages and one 9-foot anchorage was completed in December 1963. Repairs were made to breakwater at Fayerweather Island in 1961.

INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS In accordance with provisions of Flood Control Act of 1936, as amended, local flood protection works constructed with Federal funds are transferred to local interests to operate and maintain. To insure compliance with regulations prescribed for their operation and maintenance regular inspections of the following projects were made during fiscal year: Connecticut: November 1967 and June 1968--East Branch, Hall Meadow Brook and Mad River Reservoirs, East Hartford, Hartford, Norwalk, Norwich, Pawcatuck, Torrington (East and West Branches), Waterbury-Watertown and Winsted; Maine: November 1967 and June 1968--Cherryfield: Massachusetts: November 1967 and June 1968--Canton, Chicopee Falls, Gardner, Haverhill, Holyoke, Huntington, Lowell, Northampton, Springfield, Three Rivers, Ware, West Springfield, West Warren, Worcester; October 1967 and June 1968--Fitchburg; New Hampshire: November 1967 and June 1968--Lincoln; October 1967 and June 1968--Farmington, Keene and Nashua. Rhode Island: November 1967 and June 1968--Fox Point, Woonsocket (Lower and Upper); Vermont: November 1967 and June 1968--Weston. 66. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS A coordinated system of flood control reservoirs was established in each of five major flood producing basins in New England Division. During periods of flood flows regulationof reservoirs is fully coordinated within each basin dependent upon its location in the basin, its storage capacity and origin of flood. Regulation within each basin during the fiscal year was as follows: Blackstone River Basin: The West Hill Reservoir was regulated in March 1968 and 59 percent of the flood control storage was used. Connecticut River Basin: All 14 reservoirs were regulated in March 1968 with storage used ranging from 5 percent at Union Village to approximately 25 percent at Townshend, Birch Hill, Tully, Barre Falls, Knightville and Littleville and a maximum of 40 percent at Ball Mountain, Surry Mountain and Otter Brook. Housatonic River Basin: Thomaston Reservoir was regulated in December 1967 and March, April, May and June 1968. Maximum storage used was 18 percent, which occurred in March 1968. The other four reservoirs, which are ungated, operated auto- 55 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 matically for these same rises with a maximum storage used of 12 percent at Hancock Brook Reservoir in March 1968. Merrimack River Basin: All four reservoirs were regulated in March 1968 with 6 percent flood control storage utilized at Franklin Falls, 20 at Blackwater, 22 at Hopkinton-Everett and 40 percent at MacDowell Reservoir. Thames River Basin: All six flood control reservoirs were regulated in March 1968 with 30 to 46 percent flood control storage used. Releases were made from conservation storage at East Brimfield Reservoir to augment low flows in September 1967. 67. OTHER AUTHORIZED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS (See table at end of chapter.) 68.

Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in New York District. Existing project. Provides for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasian water milfoil, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths, from the navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters of the United States, in the combined interest of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of the most effective and economic control measures. Project was authorized by section 104, River and Harbor Act of 1958 (H.Doc. 37, 85th Cong., 1st session). Section 104, River and Harbor Act of 1962, modified authorizing act to provide that research costs and planning costs prior to construction shall be borne fully by the United States and shall not be included in the cost to be shared by local interests. Section 302, River and Harbor Act of 1965, modified authorizing act to include United States waters and to provide for control of Eurasian water milfoil. Estimated Federal cost of new work in New York District is $212,500. Cost to local interests during program is estimated at $75,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide 30 percent of the cost of the program except as modified by 1962 River and Harbor Act and agree to hold the United States free from damages. Operations and results during fiscal year. The North Atlantic Division staff completed the report of reconnaissance scope, initiated in FY 1967, covering a preliminary investigation of aquatic plant problems in the New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk Districts. The New York District initiated preliminary planning studies on waterchestnut control in the Hudson-Mohawk basin. Costs for planning were $7,471 of which $7,120 were by the North Atlantic Division and $351 by the New York District. Condition at end of fiscal year. Reconnaissance report covering the aquatic plant problems of the North Atlantic Division area was completed in August 1967.

Terminal facilities. There are 39 terminals in Oceanside, Island Park, Long Beach, and East Rockaway. Nine of these are oil terminals, one of which has a railroad spur. Other terminals consist of repair and mooring docks with a berthage of 7,655 feet. Of these 21 have marine railways and 1 has mechanical-handling facilities. There are public wharves at East Rockaway and Woodmere, and waterfront on north side of Long Beach has been bulkheaded. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hopper Dredges Merritt and Hyde and attendant plant were employed intermittently from August 29 to September 9, 1967, and May 22-31, 1968 in dredging to restore project depth of 12 feet. Removed 9,800 and 23,900 cubic yards of material, respectively, at a cost of $71,167, including $2,674 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Reconnaissance surveys cost $840. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under existing project began February 1933 and is about 85 percent complete. East jetty, 4,250 feet long, was completed in July 1934. Project channel was completed in May 1935. Controlling mean low water depth (June 1968) through channel from deep water in Atlantic Ocean to deep water in East Rockaway Inlet is 12 feet for a width of 250 feet. East jetty was in good condition except for minor repairs. Work remaining under existing project consists of building a west jetty, if necessary, to protect channel. 4. FIRE ISLAND INLET, N.Y. Location. On south shore of Long Island, about 50 miles by water south and east of the Battery, New York City. It is the main entrance into Great South Bay from the Atlantic Ocean.

Mean tidal range at ocean and inlet ends of Democrat Point are 4.1 and 2.6 feet, respectively. Irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 vary from 2.5 feet below mean low water up to 2.6 feet above mean high water. New work for completed project cost $594,355, exclusive of $90,190 contributed by local interests. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. None within area immediately adjacent to Federal improvement. In Great South Bay there are 28 boat repair and storage yards, 3 commercial fish terminals and 3 ferries, with a total berthage of 25,440 feet. Twenty-eight terminals have marine railways and 13 are public wharves. In addition, Patchogue River has 12 boat repair and storage yards, 1 ferry, and 3 fuel oil terminals, with a total berthage of 8,380 feet. Fourteen are equipped with marine railways and 2 are public wharves. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. In addition to the commercial facilities there are numerous privately-owned terminals. Operations and results during fiscal year. Under a contract for restoring project depth of 10 feet in the inshore reach, work began August 30 and was completed September 14, 1967. Removed 194,304 cubic yards, place measurement, of material at a cost of $331,812, including $3,891 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Hopper Dredge Hyde and attendant plant were employed intermittently from April 17 to May 22, 1968 in dredging to restore project depth of 10 feet in the outer reach. Removed 180,800 cubic yards, place measurement, of material at a cost of $173,195, including $4,044 for engineering preliminary to dredging for maintenance. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under existing project was commenced June 1939. Jetty was completed in 1941 and since a survey made in November 1953 revealed existence of a channel with dimensions substantially the same as those authorized, work under existing project was considered complete November 1953. In September 1967, controlling mean low water depth was 10 feet for a width of 250 feet from deep water in the ocean to deep water within the inlet. Jetty has surpassed its capacity as a sand entrapping agent and when examined in October 1953, was found to be in fair condition. 5. FLUSHING BAY AND CREEK, N.Y. Location.

GREAT LAKES TO HUDSON RIVER WATERWAY, N.Y. Location. Consists of portion of New York State Barge Canal system extending from Hudson River at Waterford to Oswego Harbor on Lake Ontario. (See Lake Survey Charts 183, 184, and New York Canal Charts.) Existing project. Provides for allotment of Federal funds to the State of New York for expenditure under suitable Federal control and supervision in improvement of canal connecting Lake Ontario with the Hudson River. Improvement provides for a depth of 13 feet below normal pool level through all locks between Waterford and Oswego, deepening between locks to 14 feet below normal pool level, widening at bends and elsewhere, and increasing overhead clearance to 20 feet at maximum navigable stage at bridges and other overhead structures. Widths of channel to be provided under project are 104 feet in earth cuts, 120 feet in rock cuts, 200 feet in river sections, with widening at bends and elsewhere as may be necessary. Waterway included in this project is about 184 miles long, of which 160 miles are in Erie Canal from Waterford to Three Rivers Point and 24 miles are in Oswego Canal from Three Rivers Point to Oswego. Cost estimate for new work is $33,900,000 (July 1968). No estimate of maintenance with Federal funds is included, as maintenance of canal is not a part of Federal project. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1945 authorized deepening locks subject to condition that an agreement be entered into between the United States and State of New York embodying certain limitations and provisions to safeguard interests of general commerce and navigation, insure Federal supervision of work performed. A supplemental agreement dated June 5, 1947, containing all provisions necessary for efficient prosecution of improvement, was entered into by Chief of Engineers and Department of Public Works, State of New York. Requirements under prior acts fully complied with. Terminal facilities. State of New York provided terminal and transfer facilities at all important points along Erie and Oswego Canals, and at Buffalo, Troy, Albany, and New York Harbor. Freighthandling equipment, as well as storage and dock facilities, is governed by requirements of particular locality. State-owned terminal at Oswego has a grain elevator with a capacity of 1 million bushels. 93 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Albany Port District Commission erected a grain elevator at Albany with a capacity of 13,500,000 bushels. Port of New York Authority grain terminal in New York Harbor on Gowanus Bay has a capacity of about 1,800,000 bushels. The grain terminal on Gowanus Bay is not being used or operated. Terminals at Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady, Troy, Albany, and Oswego are provided with direct railroad connections. All State-owned terminals are open to the public on equal terms. Lakeport terminals are extensive in character. Available terminals appear ample to meet all requirements. Operations and results during fiscal year. Costs of $1,974,145 reported for partial reimbursement to State of New York for work performed are set forth in table at the end of this chapter. Inspecting contracts cost $89,592 for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under existing project began September 1935 and is about 97 percent complete. Forty-one barge canal bridges and three guard gates were raised to project clearance, one bridge lengthened, two bridges removed, and four guard gates replaced under Federal project for improvement. Project vertical clearance was provided at two additional bridges with Federal funds by construction of additional spillway capacity at Herkimer, N.Y. Six additional bridges and one arch beam were raised, seven bridges removed and seven bridges removed and replaced by new structures at project clearance, all by other agencies. Three bridges under the project, but not eligible for reimbursement, were removed and replaced by a new structure at project clearance by other agencies. Present depth is 14 feet at normal pool level for following width: 104 feet in earth cuts, 120 feet in rock cuts, and 200 feet in canalized rivers and lakes. Twenty-nine locks, 22 in Erie Canal, east of Three Rivers Point, and seven in Oswego Canal north of Three Rivers Point, have a clear width of 43.5 feet, usable length of 300 feet, and depth over sills is 13 feet. No alterations are required in Lock 8, Erie Canal, and Locks 5 and 8, Oswego Canal. Lock 4, Oswego Canal, does not exist. Numerous fixed bridges, transmission lines and other structures span the waterway. There are 74 bridges between Waterford and Three Rivers Point and 20 between Three Rivers Point and Oswego. Minimum clearance under existing bridges and other overhead structures is 15.77 feet above maximum navigable stage. Work of lowering lock sills to project depth is physically completed. Work remaining to complete project consists of revetment of banks with quarry stones where necessary, and completion of bridge construction at five bridges. Vertical clearance 20.0 feet is now available throughout the Erie Car east of Three Rivers Point and Oswego Canal noet of Three Rivers Point.

Under a proposed contract for dredging to restore project depth of 15 feet at specified sites, $297 was expended, including $169 for engineering preliminary to maintenance. Reconnaissance surveys cost $757. Condition at end offiscal year. Work under existing project was commenced January 1888 and substantially completed May 1938. Remaining widening in section above High Bridge is prohibited by proximity of bulkheads to the channel line. Present width is considered adequate for navigation. No further improvement is contemplated under the project. A channel 15 feet deep at mean low water and 400 feet wide was excavated from East River to High Bridge, thence 15 feet deep and 400 to 350 feet wide to the Hudson River. Rock cut through Dyckmans Meadows was completed to 18-foot depth and 350-foot width in 1896. Straightening channel at Johnson Iron Works was completed to 15-foot depth and 400-foot width in 1938. Controlling mean low water depth (Feb.-Sept. 1965) was 15 feet for widths varying from 400 to 200 feet from the East River to Sherman Creek, thence 14 feet for widths varying from 350 to 250 feet to Hudson River, except for a shoal with a minimum depth of 12.8 feet about 1,500 feet south of High Bridge and a shoal with minimum depth of 12 feet in the east draw of the Macombs Dam Bridge (Mar. 1968). Total cost of existing project to June 30, 1968, was $4,024,733, of which $3,595,119 was for new work and $429,614 for maintenance. 9. HUDSON RIVER, N.Y. Location.

Terminal facilities. There are two marinas, one boat yard and one boat repair yard in the inner harbor, and one boat club on Long Island Sound. Except for one public marina, all facilities are privately owned. Operations and results during fiscal year. Final costs in the amount of $27,746, including $37 for engineering preliminary to dredging were reported for this fiscal year in connection with dredging to project depth of 6 feet for new work. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work under existing project was commenced March 1967 and physically completed June 1967. Dredging consisted of an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 1.2 miles long in the outer harbor; thence an inner channel 60 and 50 feet wide, and 0.15 mile long; thence a branch channel 70 and 50 feet wide and 0.17 mile long, all with depths of 6 feet at mean low water. (See table at end of chapter for controlling mean low water depths of sections.) 17. MORICHES INLET, N.Y. Location. Situated on the south shore of Long Island, about 80 miles by water east of the Battery, New York City. It is an opening through the narrow, sandy barrier beach on the south shore of Long Island which separates the Atlantic Ocean from a series of interconnected bays. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 578.) Existing project. Provides for a channel, 10 feet deep at mean low water and 200 feet wide extending from that depth in the Atlantic Ocean to Moriches Bay, a distance of 0.8 mile; thence a channel 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway, a distance of 1.1 miles; rehabilitation of the existing jetties and revetments; seaward extension of the east jetty to the 12-foot contour and seaward extension of the west jetty a distance of 400 feet; construction of a fixed by-passing facility to transfer sand from the east side of the inlet to the west side. Mean tidal range in the ocean at the inlet is 3.3 feet and in the bay 0.3 foot. Irregular fluctuations due to wind and barometric pressure vary from 1.7 feet below mean low water up to 13.1 feet above mean high water. Cost estimate for new work is $3,910,000 (July 1968) exclusive of $3,130,000 to be contributed by local interests. The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960 (H. Doc. 126,86th Cong., Ist sess.). The latest published map is in the project document. 101 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Local cooperation. The River and Harbor Act of July 14, 1960 provides that local interests shall, prior to construction agree to contribute in cash 45 percent of the cost of construction by the Corps of Engineers and agree to contribute in cash 50 percent of the maintenance, operation, and replacement, or perform work of equal value when and as acceptable to the Chief of Engineers; and provided further that in connection with the improvement of the inlet, local interests, prior to construction, agree to (a) make the cash contribution either in a lump sum prior to commencement of the work, or in installments prior to commencement of pertinent work items, in accordance with work schedules as required by the Chief of Engineers, the final apportionment of cost to be made after actual costs have been determined; (b) furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and suitable spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent maintenance when and as required;. and (c) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the project; (d) provide and maintain suitable terminal facilities when and as required for the accommodation of vessels that would navigate the inlets and adjacent bays, open to all on equal terms; and (e) maintain for the duration of the economic life of the project, continued public ownership of the publicly owned shores and their administration for public use, and continued availability for public use of the privately owned shores upon which a portion of the Federal share of the cost is based. Terminal facilities. No terminals are within the area immediately adjacent to the Federal improvement. However, numerous public and private terminal facilities are available in Moriches Bay and in the connecting canals. Three yacht clubs, six boatyards, 12 public wharves and landings, and numerous private landings are located in Moriches Bay. The yacht clubs and boatyards have equipment for servicing boats. There are four public boat basins open to the public. The facilities existing in the bay are considered adequate for present and probable future needs. There is room for expansion should future commerce warrant. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance engineering and design was continued. Initial tidal, salinity and current velocity measurements, hydrographic surveys, and aerial photography, were completed. Additional tidal and current velocity measurements were underway. Design and construction of the model at the Waterways Experiment Statiof were completed. Model verification is underaY Coordination meetings with the New Yrki~d Department of Conservation and the Long ISslna State Parks Commission were held at the Stat or November 1967 and April 1968, and in NewI, in January 1968. Costs for new work were $11so5 for design engineering and $14,791 for supervi and administration. o0t Condition at end offiscalyear. Construction has been initiated. Preconstruction planning (adaoao engineering and design) is about 44 percent iclet plete. When last examined in April 1967 the etat had a controlling navigable depth of about 4 [e mean low water through two narrow channels lyio for most part close to the jetties, and which ate t points had depths of as much as 15 feet.

(See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 369.) Existing project. A new railroad bridge to replace single track swing bridge completed in 1888. Center pier and fender system of existing bridge result in inadequate horizontal clearances which present a serious obstruction and hazard to navigation. New bridge provides a vertical lift span with vertical clearances of 135 feet above mean high water in open position and 31 feet above mean high water in closed position. New bridge eliminates center pier and leaves a clear and unobstructed channel 500 feet wide. Center of new span is about 158 feet east of center of existing bridge. Notice to alter existing bridge was signed by Secretary of the Army on July 5, 1949, as authorized by Truman- Hobbs Act of June 21, 1940, as amended. Estimated Federal share of cost of new work is $7,995,000 (July 1968). Estimated cost to local interests is $1,635,000. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operation and results during fiscal year. Review of the outstanding Federal non-disbursed accounts payable, and the correlated contract earnings of contract No. 3 as reported by the railway company, in comparison to actual payments made by the railway company to the contractor based on disallowed amounts, resulted in reduction of contract earnings and accounts payable and accordingly a cost credit, of $59,028. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was operationally completed, first train crossed new bridge August 1959. Construction under contract No. 1 for substructure was completed August 1958. Construction under contract No. 2 for superstructure was completed December 1959. Work under terminated contract No. 3 and subsequent new contract, for demolition of structures and construction of fender system was completed in August 1962. Work remaining consists of resolution of several claims, final payments and credits. Beach Erosion Control 33. FIRE ISLAND INLET, LONG ISLAND, N.Y. Location. Atlantic Coast of Long Island, N.Y., between Fire Island Inlet and 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 113 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 south shore of Long Island, about 37 miles by water south and east of the Battery, New York City, and connects Hempstead Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 578 and 579.) Existing project. Provides for Federal participation in restoration and protection of shore from Fire Island to Jones Inlets by dredging inlet shoal in Fire Island Inlet and construction of a sand dike to relieve pressure of tidal currents against Oak Beach, to provide a deposition area for littoral drift, and to obtain fill material for a feeder beach and Oak Beach. Authorization initially provided for three dredging operations over a period of 10 years, but was reduced to two, based on subsequently authorized project modification for sand bypassing facilities and on limited reduction of channel maintenance costs of navigation project. For first increment, based on cost sharing provisions of Public Law 727, 79th Congress, pertinent to beach erosion control benefits, Federal participation is authorized to extent of one-third of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature and entire cost allocated to navigation feature, a total of 42 percent for first increment. In accordance with authorizing document, Federal shares of subsequent increments would be based on the then current estimates of maintenance costs which can be justified for navigation project and experience with. maintenance requirements. Based on provisions of 1962 River and Harbor Act enacted after completion of first increment, which modified Federal participation to extent of one-half of costs allocated to beach erosion control feature, and on deletion of navigation benefits based on maintenance experience, Federal share of second increment was evaluated at 67.9 percent. Project, as modified, provides for combined beach erosion control and navigation improvements comprising a 1,000-foot extension of existing jetty, a littoral reservoir with a capacity of 1,200,000 cubic yards west of 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 modifications to permit fishermen use, and dikes. Estimated Federal share of participation is 66.1 percent of the first cost of project 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 navigat channel and nourishment of beaches westerlyc t is inlet, is included in annual maintenance.

BENNINGTON, HOOSIC RIVER BASIN, VT. Location. Hoosic River rises in northwestern Massachusetts, flows generally north and northwest, crossing southwest corner of Vermont to vicinity of Eagles Bridge, N.Y., where it turns west and joins the Hudson River about 16 miles above Troy, N.Y. It is 66 miles long and has a drainage area of 713 square miles. Bennington, Vt., is at junction of Walloomsac River and Roaring Branch, about 15 miles southeast of junction of Walloomsac River with Hoosic River at North Hoosic, N.Y. (See Geological Survey map covering Bennington, Vt., quadrangle). Existing project. Provides for channel excavation, about 10,500 feet of cribwall, and levee construction along the Roaring Branch extending from about 2,000 feet below the Brooklyn Bridge to about 3,500 feet above, with a concrete diversion structure at the head of a canal. Existing project was authorized by 1936 Flood Control Act and modified by 1941 Flood Control Act (H.Doc. 182, 76th Cong., Ist sess., contains latest published map). The project, previously placed in -inactive-category due to its apparently limited interest on the part of local interests in supporting construction, was reclassified to the -deferred for restudy-category January 18, 1965, based on the reported gradual erosion of left bank of Roaring Branch which local interests believe constitutes a serious threat of flooding. Based on the findings of the -restudy-(feasibility study report) initiated in December 1965 and completed in March 1966, the portion of the project on the left bank of the Roaring Branch, generally between Branch and Park Streets, was reclassified from the - deferred-to the -active-category on May 27 1966. The improvement provides for construction of about 280 feet of floodwall, 2,900 feet of levee and appurtenant drainage facilities. The estimated Federal cost for new work is $470,000 (July 1968), exclusive of land and other work to be provided by local interests estimated at $29,000. The remaining portion of the authorized project consisting mainly of channel clearing and construction of concrete cribwalls along Roaring Branch, at an estimated Federal cost of $1,840,000 (July 1964) and estimated non-Federal cost of $30,000 for lands and 115 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 other work to be provided by local interests was reclassified from the -deferred-to the -inactive-category on May 27 1966. Local cooperation. In addition to the usual requirements for local cooperation as provided by law, local interests must give assurances that they will insure against future encroachments upon the flood channels to be provided by the improvements. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advance engineering and design continued on the -activeportion of the project. Design studies were completed on May 6 1968, with revisions to design of the proposed closure underway, based on the completion of additional topographic surveys. By letter dated May 16 1968, the State of Vermont indicated that acquisition of necessary lands, easements and rights-of-way was initiated. Coodination meeting with State officials was held at Bennington, Vt. on May 29 1968. Assurances of local cooperation were executed by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Town of Bennington, Vt. on June 5 1968 and accepted for the United States by the District Engineer on June 21 1968. Preparation of contract plans and specifications are about 90 percent complete. Initial funds for construction were appropriated in FY 1968. Costs, all for advance engineering and design, were $43,877 for new work, of which $5,557 were for supervision and administration. Condition at end of fiscal year. Restudy and reclassifications have been completed. Advance engineering and design of the -active-portion is about 95 percent complete. The entire project remains to be constructed. 36.

On February 27, 1964, the Chief of Engineers accepted the proposals, in part, and supplemental assurances were executed by State of New York on April 20, 1964, and accepted by District Engineer April 27, 1964, as follows: the State of New York now elects to proceed with authorized combined beach erosion control and hurricane protection project for South Shore of Long Island; that Superintendent of Public Works hereby reaffirms his assurance of August 14, 1963, relative to complete project; that State of New York, as cooperating agency, will now agree that artificial fills will be added when and to extent found necessary by the Chief of Engineers, but not earlier than 3 years after completion of groins unless both the State of New York and the Chief of Engineers mutually agree to an earlier placement; that the superintendant agrees for State of New York to contribute the full amount of any increase in Federal costs resulting from the separate construction of the groins and subsequent fill; and that the State agree that construction of the two groins in the Georgica Pond area will depend on a favorable finding, following a study by the Chief of Engineers. Study was completed July 31, 1964, recommending construction, and approved by the Chief of Engineers on September 22, 1964. By letter dated November 5, 1964, the New York State Department of Public Works confirmed that title to all properties and interests in properties necessary for constructing the 11 groins was fully vested in Suffolk County. By letter dated December 7, 1964, the Department stated that the county had obtained easements or fee title for the parcels necessary for constructing the two groins. New York State Department of Public Works furnished $844,600 and $830,330 required contributed funds October 30, 1964, and September 7, 1965, respectively, for construction of 11 groins in Moriches-Shinnecock reach, and $439,900 on January 22, 1965, for construction of 2 groins in Georgica Pond area of the Southampton-Beach Hampton reach. The completed 2 groins and 11 groins were accepted by the New York State Department of Public Works for maintenance on May 11, 1966 and April 10, 1967, respectively. On March 22, 1965, the Department recommended that planning priority be in the order: Southampton- Beach Hampton (drainage structures first); 119 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Shinnecock Inlet-Southampton; Beach Hampton- Montauk Point; and Fire Island Inlet-Moriches Inlet. Planning on the drainage structures was initiated but was suspended, based on meeting of 28 October 1965 with the Georgica Pond Association and the Preservation Society of East End wherein concern was indicated regarding the effects of the proposed drainage structure on ecology, salinity, pond level and aesthetic values; based on meeting with Congressional representatives, State legislators, Federal agencies and local officials held on May 26, 1966; and based on resolution of the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors adopted June 13, 1966 requesting advancement of the planning of the Fire Island Inlet-Moriches Inlet reach (Fire Island National Seashore). On June 16, 1967, the New York State Department of Public Works requested that the following work be undertaken as immediate priority items: in Moriches-Shinnecock Reach, beach and dune fill at 11 groins site, construction of four groins west of the completed 11 groins, beach and dune fill east of the 11 groins; in Southampton- Beach Hampton reach (at East Hampton), construction of two additional groins, and the outlet structure at Georgica Pond. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design continued. In July 1968 design studies and plans and specifications for the next phase involving 4 groins and beach and dune fill in Section 1 of Reach 2, and 2 groins, drainage structure and beach and dune fill at Georgica Pond in Section 3 of Reach 4, were initiated. Plans and specifications for the 4 and 2 groins, and for the beach and dune fill in Section 1 of Reach 2 were brought to about 90 percent completion, and to about 10 percent completion for the drainage structure and beach and dune fill at Georgica Pond. During the fiscal year, design studies on Reach 1 (Fire Island Inlet-Moriches Inlet) were temporarily suspended. On February 5, 1968, the New York State Department of Conservation was requested to furnish executed supplement (No. 2) to the assurances of local cooperation, to cover the next phase of work in the Moriches-Shinnecock and the Southampton- Beach Hampton reaches.

WATERBURY RESERVOIR, WINOOSKI RIVER BASIN, VT. Location. The Winooski River rises in the northeastern part of Vermont and flows westerly about 90 miles into Lake Champlain, about 4 miles north of Burlington, Vt. It lies wholly within the State and has a drainage area of about 1,080 square miles. The Waterbury Reservoir with a drainage area of 109 square miles is located in the Waterbury River, 127 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 which enters the Winooski River 42 miles above the mouth, about 2 miles below Waterbury, Vt. (See U.S. Geological Survey map covering Camels Hump, Vt., quadrangle.) Existing project. The existing dam is of rolledearthfill type 1,800 feet long at its crest rising 155 feet above the streambed, and providing a total storage capacity of 64,700 acre-feet, of which 27,900 acre-feet are reserved for flood control. This project provides for modification of the Waterbury Dam so as to accommodate safely the maximum probable flood. The work consists of increasing the height of the dam 3 feet to elevation 633 feet mean sea level, the installation of one extra 35-foot tainter gate, thus providing a total of three gates and reducing the length of fixed crest spillway by 38 feet, the installation of a gasoline-engine generator for the emergency operation of the gates in case of power failure, riprapping new enbankment, restoring road surface and guard rails, extending the existing bridge over the new tainter gate section, and performing such incidental work as may be required. Construction of the Waterbury Reservoir was completed in 1938 under authority granted by the Director, Emergency Conservation work on June 2, .1933. The work was performed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under the supervision of the Chief of Engineers, United States Army. The Federal cost for new work, completed in 1960, is $860,569, exclusive of amount expended on previous project. The existing project was adopted by the Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944. (See H. Doc. 629, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) The latest published map is in the project document. Local cooperation. The Flood Control Act of December 22, 1944, authorized the project subject to the condition that the State of Vermont give assurance satisfactory to the Secretary of War that it will: (a) Provide, without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary the for construction. (b) Hold and save the United States free from claims for damages due to the construction works and due to inundation of the reservoir areas between the present and proposed maximum flow lines. (c) Continue to maintain and operate the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of War. In letter dated September 2, 1947, the Governor of the State of Vermont gave assurances that the State of Vermont would comply with all conditionso local cooperation. By letter. dated September e 1956, the State of Vermont confirmed that all e quired lands, easements and rights-of-way nece sary for the construction were owned by the State Operation and results during fiscal year. Upon cthe pletion of construction on the modification lo,f Waterbury Dam, interim instructions for regU tion, particularly the gates, were furnished on Fdi ruary 26, 1958 and January 26, 1959 for the moe fled project.

Local interests shall agree to hold and save the United States free from claims that may occur from control operations and to participate to the extent of 30% of the cost of such operation. Cost for research and planning before construction shall be borne fully by the Federal Government. Planning has identified the problem areas and District Personnel have met or corresponded with Federal, State and local groups and individuals. The Department of Forests and Waters of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has signified its willingness to cooperate. Representatives of New Jersey State agencies have informally indicated that the required cost sharing could be accomplished and have signified they will assist in any way possible. They are also cognizant of the 70% -30% costshare provisions. Operations and Results During Year. This program is in the design stage, therefore no operational work was scheduled for FY 1968.

Assurances of local cooperation were approved July 19, 1956. Terminal facilities. Present waterfront at Salisbury consists of pile-and-timber bulkheads with earthfills. Some wharves have warehouses and factories with mechanical freight-handling facilities and rail sidings. With exception of wharf on north prong, owned by State Roads Commission, and a wharf on south prong, owned by the county, all terminals are privately owned. A shipyard, with two marine railways with capacities of 1,200 and 500 tons, respectively, is on right bank of river below prongs. Areas for development of new terminals on north and south prongs are limited. Areas for considerable expansion of terminal facilities are available on main river. A public wharf on main river at Salisbury is desirable but not essential. There is a pileand- timber wharf about 4 miles above mouth of river at Mount Vernon. A wharf of similar construction is at White Haven. There is a county wharf at head of basin in Webster Cove, a pileand- timber pier at oyster house on southwest side of basin, a T-shaped pile-and-timber pier at cafe on southwest side of basin and several small timber piers on walkways that local interests constructed around the basin. Fueling facilities are available at the T-shaped pier. Sufficient areas are available for construction of additional facilities when required. Operations and results during fiscal year.

Meetings were held with State and Federal officials to identify specific areas where eventual control of aquatic plant nuisances may be tained. Coordination with Baltimore and Wilmington Districts was maintained. Three areas of principal concern to Virginia were identified: the Rappahannock River, Back Bay, and the Walker Dam impoundment on the Chickahominy River. No control program was recommended by Virginia officials for the above areas in fiscal year 1968. Condition at end offiscal year. Planning in connection with a possible future cooperative control program with the State of Virginia is being continued. Surveillance of aquatic plant infestations occurring in 1968 on the prinicipal water areas above is being made by State officials. The results of this surveillance could lead to a possible control program in the future. 2. APPOMATTOX RIVER, VA. Location. This river rises in Appomattox County, Va., flows northeasterly 137 miles, and empties into the James River at Hopewell, Va. The portion under improvement extends from its mouth to Petersburg, Va., a distance of 11 1/2 miles, which is the length of the tidal and navigable reach. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 531.) Previous projects. See Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. This provides for a channel 80 feet wide and 12 feet deep from the mouth of the river to a point 400 feet above Lieutenant Run; thence 80 feet wide and of such depth, not exceeding 12 feet, as can be obtained without rock excavation to the head of navigation at Petersburg; including a basin at the mouth of Poes Run 200 feet long, 150 feet wide, and 20 feet deep: and a turning basin at the mouth of Lieutenant Run 500 feet long, 140 to 160 feet wide, and 12 feet deep in the upper 300 feet, the removal of rock to a depth of 18 feet in the north half of the lower 200 feet, and removal of soft material to rock in the south half of the lower 200 feet of this basin. All depths area referred to mean low water. The project also provides for a dam at Petersburg and the excavation for a width of from 200 to 300 feet of a diversion channel connecting the river above the dam with the river at a point 21/2 miles below; for about 1.7 miles of levees on the low grounds between the navigable and the diversion channels; for a highway bridge and a railway bridge across the diversion channel; and for other work incidental to the diversion channel. Under ordinary conditions the mean tidal range i 2.9 feet and the extremes 2.4 and 3.3 feet. There are no records available of the heights of stage due to ordinary floods. These are estimated at 6 to 8 feet above mean low water at Petersburg, where the extremes are from 15.6 feet to 17.1 feet. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1954, is $1,210,000, which includes the estimated cost (1909) of the diversion channel and work incidental to its construction, $260,000. (See table at end of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. The conditions of local cooper tion imposed by the River and Harbor Act of Janu ary 21, 1927, have been fully complied with. The River and Harbor Act of March 2, 194 5, i adopting the existing project dimensions, impose the conditions that local interest furnish, free d cost to the United States, all lands, easements as rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas for the i te* tial work and for subsequent maintenance asre quired, and hold and save the United States free from claims for damages attributable to construce tion of the improvement. These conditions have been fully complied with and approved by the Chief of Engineers on May 10, 1948. Local interests are required to furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for subsequent maintenance. of Terminal Facilities. There are about 2,500 feet wooden bulkhead and a shore landing in Petersl- Harbor.

(See U.S. Geological survey map of North Carolina.) Existing project. Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946, authorized construction of four flood-control dams in upper Yadkin River Basin, two on Yadkin River above Wilkesboro, N.C., and two on Reddies River, a tributary stream. Studies made subsequent to authorizing act established economic advantage of providing needed flood-control storage in two reservoirs, one on the Reddies and one on the Yadkin, rather than in four reservoirs as originally planned. Present planning considers only two-reservoir plan. Cost for Yadkin River reservoir (W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir) and for Reddies River reservoir is set forth in table at end of chapter.) Although Reddies River reservoir is authorized, it is in deferred for restudy status at present and will not be discussed further except to note that $131,500 has been expended in planning project and preparation of a definite project report which was completed in March 1950. Restudy of Reddies River project will be accomplished during the present fiscal year. An individual report on W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir follows. 13. W. KERR SCOTT DAM AND RESERVOIR, YADKIN RIVER, N.C. Location. W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir is on Yadkin River, N.C., about 6 miles upstream from Wilkesboro, N.C. At full flood-control pool elevation (1075 feet mean sea level), reservoir extends 15.7 miles upstream to Wilkes-Caldwell County line. Existing project. Impounding of the reservoir to normal pool level (1030 feet mean sea level) was effected in January 1963. Project consists of a rolled earthfill dam 1,740 feet long, with crest at elevation 1,107.5 feet mean sea level, or about 148 feet above streambed elevation; a spillway near north abutment of dam in a rock cut with crest elevation 1075; and outlet works consisting of intake structure, control tower, and circular concrete conduit 12.25 feet in diameter through base of dam near south abutment. Reservoir has a gross capacity of 153,000 acre-feet of which 112,000 acre-feet are reserved for flood control, 33,000 acre-feet will be used when required for water supply and conservation with 8,000 acre-feet being containedin minimum pool.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Along these rivers there are numerous natural shore landings. These are considered ample for existing commerce. Facilities for recreational boats have been constructed in recent years at several points. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: The United States nonpropelled crane barge No. 2 with towboat Piasa did maintenance snagging from February 1968 through June 1968 on Ocmulgee and Altamaha Rivers at a cost of $40,752 including inspection and overhead. Other costs incurred, including administration, amounted to $9,350. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is such that the percentage of completion cannot be stated. Channel depths have been increased by excavating rock shoals and sandbars, by constructing contraction and bank-protection works, and by closing cutoffs. Navigation has been rendered safer by removing obstructions. Many of the closing dams and contractions and bank-protection works need repairs. During the year: The Altamaha River had a controlling depth of 3 feet or greater 75 percent of the time. The Oconee from the Forks to Dublin, Ga., had a controlling depth of 2.5 feet or greater 70 percent of the time. The Ocmulgee River from the Forks to Abbeville, Ga., had a controlling depth of 3 feet or greater 70 percent of the time. Low water usually occurs between August and December. Controlling depths were then one-half to I foot less than those given above. To June 30, 1968, the costs under the existing project were $60,847 for new work and $1,276,605 for maintenance, of which $13,533 were contributed funds, a total of $1,337,452. 2.

For further details see Port Series No. 16, Corps of Engineers (revised 1954). Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: U. S. Pipeline Dredge Henry Bacon dredged in East River July 1 to July 15, 1967, and November 17 to December 7, 1967, removing 482,562 cubic yards of material at cost of $165,011, including other government cost. Preparation of specifications for maintenance dredging in East River, by contract, cost $618. U.S. Hopper Dredge Gerig dredged December 19, 1967 to January 18, 1968, removing 691,970 cubic yards of material from bar channel and 27,848 cubic yards of material from St. Simon Sound at cost of $288,944, including other government costs. Waterway Experiment Station model tests of plans to reduce shoaling in East River were continued at cost of $13,646. Rapid shoaling in East River has existed since channel deepening to 30 feet in June 1959. Investigations and studies of excessive shoaling continued. Studies of shoaling rates and dredging methods indicate maintenance dredging should be performed by Government plant until studies are completed, in order that data can be developed and unpredictable shoaling can be expeditiously dredged. Routine condition surveys, water pollution studies, Government supervision and administration, and engineering investigations in connection with model studies cost $26,034. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was completed in December 1960. General condition of harbor works is satisfactory providing maintenance dredging continues. Minimum readings of authorized project depths were: In 32-foot channel, 30 feet on St. Simon Range; in 30-foot channel, 28 feet on Brunswick Cut Point Range; in 27-foot channel, 17 feet above Second Avenue.

Metropolitan Dade County is now actively engaged in relocating and providing additonal port facilities on Dodge Island in Biscayne Bay. The facilities, though incomplete, were opened to commerce June 7, 1965. There is completed 6,500 feet of deepwater berthing space (32 ft., m.l.w.) and 2.700 feet for vessels with maximum draft of 24 feet. A 2,000-person capacity passenger terminal with high-speed baggage facilities is under construction to handle five ships per day and is expected to be completed in April 1969. Two huge free-span transit sheds containing 200,000 square feet each and two smaller transit sheds of 36,000 square feet each have been constructed. Two platforms are in use serving 4 trailer ships simultaneously and two' more are in the planning stage. Facilities at Miami Harbor were not considered adequate for existing commerce which necessitated the above relocation and additional provision. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging of turning basin at the municipal terminals, originally scheduled for this fiscal year, delayed pending acquisition of spoil areas. Engineering and design and supervision costs were $60 and $230, respectively. Hired labor surveys, inspections, and reports cost $1,848. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is about 98 percent complete. Remaining work is widening of mouth of Miami River; providing channel 15 by 200 feet from mouth of river to municipal turning basin; providing channel 8 by 200 feet from the mouth of river to Intracoastal Waterway, thence 100 feet wide to Government Cut; and providing channel 12 by 100 feet from Miami to a harbor of refuge in Palmer Lake. South and north jetties are in good condition except repairs are needed near the seaward end of the north jetty. Authorized channel depths are available throughout most of the completed portion of the project. However, maintenance dredging is required in the turning basin at the municipal terminals. 18.

General. Fiscal year 1968 was another year of extremes. Near-normal rainfall the first half of the year maintained project stages in all lakes and conservation areas near or slightly below desired levels. However rainfall deficiencies began in January and accumulated into May. From 1 January to I May amounts ranged from 18 percent of normal for Lake Okeechobee up to 57 percent of normal for Water Conservation Area No. 2A. A drought condition prevailed over central and southern Florida by early May. Storage reduction in Lake Okeechobee from water use and evaporation in the period November to mid-May totaled 1.5 million acre feet as the lake stage receded from 14.6 ft on 28 October to 11.7 ft. on 10 May. A change in weather circulation in mid-May brought torrential week-end rains during the latter half of the month. Twenty-four hour amounts on 11 May ranged from 6 to 9 inches at many south Florida stations. Hurricane Abby crossed Florida' on 3-5 June adding some 4 to 6 inches over the project area with locally heavy amounts up to 11 inches in the Kissimmee River Basin. Within a 3-week period the drought was changed to abnormally wet conditions. June railfall over south Florida totaled from 18 to 22 inches and comprised about 45 percent of the totaled annual rainfall. At the end of the fiscal year stages in the major Kissimmee basin lakes had risen over 2 feet above schedule with lesser amounts above desired stages in Lake Okeechobee and the water conservation areas. b. By Corps of Engineers. (1) Lake Okeechobee. Although the water supply to the lake was 820,500 A.F. below normal from November to May, the heavy rains in May and June resulted in an annual supply of 1.74 million A.F., or 125 percent of normal. Water supply to the lake in June was 1.27 million A.F., or 91 percent of annual normal. Of that amount 626,000 A.F. was gravity inflow and 306,000 A.F. from pumped inflow. A total of 681,250 A.F. was released from the lake to meet irrigation demands for over 400,000 acres of agricultural area. No regulatory releases were required until June when 131,000 A.F. was released to tidewater via Caloosahatchee River and 143,200 A.F. via the St. Lucie Canal. Water supplied to Everglades National Park under the Interim Release Schedule totaled 180,880 A.F. through May and early June, prior to initiation of regulatory releases from Conservation Area 3A. Of that total, about 13,000 A.F. was furnished the park over and above scheduled releases at the request of the State of Florida. Rainfall over the lake in June averag 13.88 inches, 31 percent of the annual ttoottaall . and June rainfall totaled 21.05 inches, 47 percen~ 1 the annual total.

Thence it flows southwesterly through Alabama 318 miles, and unites with Tombigbee River about 45 miles north of Mobile, in southwestern Alabama, to form Mobile River. (See Geological Survey maps for central and southwest Alabama.) Coosa River is formed at Rome, Ga., in northwest Georgia, by junction of Oostanaula and Etowah Rivers, which have their sources in southeastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. From Rome the Coosa River flows southwesterly through Georgia and Alabama 286 miles, and unites with Tallapoosa River near Montgomery, Ala., at about the center of the State, to form the Alabama River. (See Geological Survey maps for northeast Alabama, southeast Tennessee, and northwest Georgia.) Previous projects. Projects for Alabama River: For details see page 1837, Annual Report for 1915; page 725, Annual Report for 1938; and page 592, Annual Report for 1944. Projects for Coosa River: For details see page 1837, Annual Report for 1915; page 728, Annual Report for 1938; and page 594, Annual Report for 1944. Existing project. Provides for full development of Alabama-Coosa Rivers and tributaries for navigation, flood control, power, recreation, and other purposes, in accordance with plans under preparation by Chief of Engineers, subject to modifications thereof which may be advisable for increasing development of hydroelectric power. Project was authorized by 1945 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 414, 77th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). Public Law 436, 83d Congress, suspended authorization of comprehensive plan, insofar as it provides for development of Coosa River, to permit non-Federal interests to develop the Coosa by con struction of a series of dams in accordance with conditions of a license issued pursuant to Federal Power Act and in accordance with certain other provisions and requirements of aforementioned public law. Present phase of improvement, now under construction, provides for construction of Jones Bluff and Millers Ferry multiple-purpose improvements, Claiborne lock and dam, and supplemental channel work providing for a 9-foot deep navigation channel from mouth of Alabama River to Montgomery, Ala., and for construction of Carters Dam, a multiple-purpose improvement on Coosawattee River, Ga. Estimated cost (1968) for new work on Alabama-Coosa Rivers is $224,220,000, consisting of $220,700,000 for structures, and $3,520,000 for supplemental channel improvements, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Local cooperation. To be determined as formula' tion of plans for development of project progresses. No action in matter of local cooperation has been initiated. Terminal facilities. On east bank at Montgomery, a natural landing connects with the city streets. Wof* ford Oil Company has a small wharf about 10 miles below Montgomery equipped for handling petroleum products. There are also various natural land ings along the river. Facilities and natural lan d ings 380 MOBILE, ALA., DISTRICT on Alabama River are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction continued on Carters Dam, Millers Ferry lock and dam, Claiborne lock and dam, and Jones Bluff lock and dam. Acquisition of land was continued on Alabama River channel at a cost of $123,576. Contract dredging in Alabama River below Claiborne lock and dam and in Fort Mims Cutoff cost $104,181. Snagging with hired labor cost $14,637. Engineering, design, supervision, and administration cost $63,338. Maintenance: Operation and maintenance at Millers Ferry lock and dam cost $16,935, and preparation of reservoir regulation manual cost $16,056. Detailed information on Operations and costs applicable to the four structures is presented under their respective project titles elsewhere in this report. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction on Carters Dam was initiated in April 1962, on Millers Ferry lock and dam in April 1963, Claiborne lock and dam in May 1965, and Jones Bluff lock and dam in June 1966. Maintenance operations on Alabama River, since authorization of existing project, have been limited mainly to periodic dredging to restore 4-foot open-channel depth from mouth to Wetumpka as provided for under previous projects. Maintenance operations on Coosa River, which Were discontinued in 1950, consisted mainly of the care of Government property at locks and dams Constructed under previous projects. These locks and dams have been inoperative for some years and no longer serve any useful purpose. Inspections of lower Alabama River in 1955 indicated a controlling depth of 4 feet from mouth to Claiborne. Boats drawing 3 feet can usually operate all year; greater depths are usually available from November to June. Since all existing locks on river are !noperative, through navigation on Coosa River is Impossible. Costs for existing project to June 30, 1968, were $96,699,815, including $96,473,775 for new work, $104,077 for maintenance of existing channel in Alabama River (4-foot project), $19,263 for operating and care of locks and dams on Coosa River (care of lockmaster's houses and other Government property at lock sites prior to 1950 when this activity was discontinued), and $102,700 for reservoir regulation and preparation of reservoir regulation manuals.

BAYOU LAFOURCHE AND LAFOURCHEJUMP WATERWAY, LA. Location. Prior to 1902 Bayou Lafourche was an outlet of Mississippi River, its head being at Donaldsonville, La., 80 miles above New Orleans. It flows generally southerly 107 miles to Gulf of Mexico. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1116 and 1274; Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley map; Donaldsonville, White Castle, Napoleonville, Thibodaux, and Lac des Allemands quadranges; and Geological Survey maps Houma, Cutoff, Lake Felicity, Mink Bayou, Leeville, and Belle Pass quadrangles.) Previous projects. For details see page 564 of 1963 Annual Report. Existing project. Provides for permanent closure of head of bayou without a lock, a channel 6 feet deep and 60 feet wide from Canal Boulevard in Thibodaux to Lockport, and from LaRose to Gulf of Mexico with a jettied entrance at Belle Pass, and the closure of Pass Fourchon. These improvements are about 50.5 miles long, and the modification of July 14, 1960 provides for an additional 66 miles of 403 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 improvement as follows: a 12-by 125-foot channel, extending from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at mile 37.2 west of Harvey lock to enter Bayou Lafourche below highway bridge at Leeville at about mile 12; a 12-by 125-foot channel in Bayou Lafourche from point of junction with proposed 12-by 125-foot channel to 12-foot depth contour in gulf; modification and extension of existing jetties from 6-to 12- foot contour, if found advisable to reduce maintenance dredging in the gulf; and a channel 9 by 100 feet in Bayou Lafourche from Leeville to vicinity of lower limits of Golden Meadow; and a 12-by 125- foot channel from Bayou Lafourche at Leeville from point where auxiliary channel connects with Bayou Lafourche through Southwestern Louisiana Canal to and through Bayou Rigaud to connect with enlargement of Bayou Rigaud recommended under project Barataria Bay Waterway, La. Normal range of tide is 10 inches at mouth and 3 inches at head; severe rains, 3 to 10 feet at head; hurricane, up to 10 feet at mouth. Estimated cost for new work (July 1968) is $6,180,000, Federal, and $2,780,000, non-Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $31,000. (Excavation of a channel 6 feet deep and 60 feet wide from Thibodaux to Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at Lockport is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of this portion (July 1968) is $733,000.) (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Assurances received and accepted on all items of work in the project. Golden Meadow to gulf: Right of entry provided. Local agency in process of transferring title to United States on all tracts involved. Leeville to Grand Isle: State of Louisiana, Department of Public Works, will construct that portion of work at junction of project and Bayou Lafourche. Due to multiplicity and other complications of ownership, there will be no conveyance of easements to the United States in this section; however, the local cooperating bodies will be requested to obtain and convey to the Unites States easements over all other lands involved in this stretch. Auxiliary channel. Rights-of-way were requested on March 22, 1968, and, while acquisition problems are not anticipated, relocation of the many pipelines involved will cause considerable difficulty and delay. The Lafourche Parish Police Jury, local cooperating agency, has requested the State of Louisiana, Department of Public Works, to assist in funding the relocation costs. 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 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 work consisted of acquisition of rights-of-way and planning. General Design Memorandum, Sup' plement No. 2, auxiliary channel, was completed and approved. Plans and specifications for auxiliary channel, miles 0 to 3.4 were completed, and for miles 17.2 to 30.4 are about 50 percent complete. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of existing project was initiated in fiscal year 1939 and is 18 percent complete. Dredging between Larose, La., and Gulf of Mexico was completed in 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 later damaged by storm action, which required placement of additional stone adjacent to both sides of steel sheet pile jetties in 1940, and repair and extension of jetties in 1941. During fiscal year 1948 stone jetties were repaired and extended inland about 700 feet from shoreline; and steel sheet pile section was strengthened for about 250 feet gulfward of stone jetties, by place' ment of stone on both gulf and bayou sides. On May 31, 1949, an automatic tide gage for recording hurricane and storm tides was installed. Modifica" tion of July 14, 1960, was initiated in February 1963 and is 14 percent complete, with 12-by 125 fo0t channel from Leeville to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico completed in September 1963, and the 9-bY 100-foot channel from Golden Meadow to Leeville completed in August 1966.

The modification of 1965 provides for comprehensive program for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasion water milfoil, and other obnoxious plant growths from navigable waterways, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters of the United States, in combined interests of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife con' servation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures. Research and planning costs undertaken pursuant to 1965 act shall be borne fully by the United States and shall not be included in costs to be shared by local interests. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizi ing existing project.) 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 furnished a joint assurance of local cooperation, which was approved April 29 and accepted May 4, 1959. Under provisions of continuing contract, local agencies will perform work in kind, approximating 30 percent of cost of program. Operations and results during fiscal year. A part of Teche Basin south of U.S. Highway 190 was treated by crews of the Corps. Teche Basin feeder areas north of U.S. Highway 190 were assigned to creWs of State of Louisiana under contract and they con' tinued to reduce area of infestation. Progress con' tinues in this basin. All principal waterways of Maurepas-Pontchartrain Basin were cleaned by combined efforts of the Corps and State of Louis ana. This combined effort continues to obtain satisr factory results in small tributaries and main water ways. Large isolated lakes and streams in northern half of State, part of which are within limits o Vicksburg District, were cleaned of most surface vegetation. Maintenance of this area is assigned to the State with occasional assistance by Corps crews in some of the lakes and streams. SatisfactorY 408 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 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 is progressing with satisfactory results. A combined effort is being made in Atchafalaya Basin on several waterways that are a source of reinfestation of main navigable waterways in Atchafalaya Basin, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and other connecting streams by Corps and State crews. Results are progressing in a satisfactory manner. During operations 19,501 acres of vegetation were destroyed. State of Louisiana crews destroyed 9,560 acres of vegetation by chemical treatments only. Crews of the Corps destroyed 9,941 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 1958 R&H act initiated May 1959, are complete. Operations under 1965 R&H act were initiated in fiscal year 1968. 10. 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 12 5-foot channel from Gulf Intracoastal Water- Way, mile 161.2 west of Harvey lock, to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico near Freshwater Bayou, construction of an 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 jettied reach, and 250 feet beyond. Estimated cost for new work (July 1967) is $9,370,000 Federal and $206,000 non- Federal, including a cash contribution of $16,060. 409 In addition Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at a cost of $23,000.

Provides for a waterway 384.1 miles long within the district, 16 feet deep and 150 feet wide, from Mississippi River to Atchafalaya River, except in vicinity of Houma, mile 50.5 to 63.5, which is to be maintained at 12 by 125 feet; a 410 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT channel 16 by 150 feet through bypass route around Houma, La., mile 50.5 by 63.5, and through alternative connection in Mississippi River below Algiers, La., about 9 miles long, a channel 16 by 200 feet from Atchafalaya River to Sabine River; a channel 12 by 150 feet in section between Lake Borgne Light No. 29 and New Orleans (via landcut through marsh and Inner Harbor navigation canal), 33.1 miles long; an alternative route 9 feet deep by 100 feet wide between Lake Borgne Light No. 29 and New Orleans (via Rigolets, Lake Pontchartrain, and Inner Harbor navigation canal), 40.5 miles long; a channel 12 feet deep and 125 feet wide for Plaquemine-Morgan City alternative route from Mississippi-Atchafalaya section of waterway, in vicinity of Morgan City, through Lower Atchafalaya River (Berwick Bay) and borrow pit of East Atchafalaya protection levee to and through Bayou Sorrel lock which was constructed under existing Project -Flood control, Mississippi River and tributaries,- thence through Lower Grand River to Indian Village, and thence by way of Bayou Grosse Tete and a new landcut to and through a new terminal lock and entrance channel to Mississippi River in vicinity of Port Allen, La., opposite lower limit of Port Baton Rouge; a channel 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide from Indian Village on Plaquemine-Morgan City alternative route through layou Plaquemine and Plaquemine lock to Missis- Sippi River at Plaquemine, La., improvement of Franklin Canal as a connecting channel from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (mile 121) to Franklin, La., to afford a channel 8 feet deep and generally 60 feet wide with a width of 100 feet in its upper 300 feet; and a salt water guard lock (Calcasieu lock) in waterway at mile 238 west of Harvey lock. Project also provides for: widening at bends; passing Places; mooring basins; locks or guard locks; such railroad bridges over artificial cuts as are necessary; Purchase of pipeline dredge; construction and operation of new drainage canals and pumping facilities to restore parish drainage systems where inter- Cepted; construction of movable bridges at Missouri Pacific Railroad and State Highways 31 and 996 (in lieu of State Highway Bridge 31, a tunnel was COnstructed and additional cost over estimated cost of bridge was borne by local interests); fixed-trestle bridges for crossing proposed landside drainage Canals; lift bridges at Louisiana Highway 168, Port Allen, La., at Texas & Pacific Railway, Port Allen, a., and at Texas & Pacific Railway, Morley, La.; and for annual payments to Board of Commis- 411 sioners of Port of New Orleans for use of a portion of Inner Harbor navigation canal. Length of waterway within district 384.1 miles via northerly or Port Allen route, and 299.4 miles via southerly or Harvey Canal route. Normal range of tide, 10 inches; extreme range, 14 inches. A severe storm may cause a high tide of from 6 to 9 feet. Estimated cost for new work, exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $85,433,827 Federal and $13,670,000 non-Federal, including $27,200,000 Federal and $9,235,000 non-Federal for modification of October 1962. (See table at end of chapter for estimated cost of new work.) In addition, the Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $94,000. Construction of bulkheads and jetties at Lake Borgne and Chef Menteur, La., is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost (1956) of this item is $440,000. Construction of a double-leaf bascule, four-lane highway bridge provided for under this project has become unnecessary because portion of project over which bridge was to be constructed was incorporated in project -Mississippi River-Gulf Outletwhich provides for a larger bridge. Bayou Sorrel and Bayou Boeuf locks were constructed and are being maintained and operated with flood control, Mississippi River and tributaries, funds. Therefore, construction, maintenance, and operation costs are not included in approved estimates referred to before. Locks on Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in New Orleans District are set forth in table at end of chapter. (See also table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Algiers lock and canal: Local agency has failed to convey all fee and easement tracts with acceptable title evidence to the United States. Review of the tracts conveyed is presently under way, and upon completion, authority will be requested that interest conveyed be accepted as best available from local agency and that the Unites States rely upon assurances of local cooperation furnished by local agency should any claims against the United States occur as a result of failure of local agency to complete transfer of title. Plaquemine- Morgan City alternative route: All assurances required for construction were furnished. Title by United States has been acquired to all but 35 tracts, for which local agency failed to comply fully with curative requirements in title certificate. Authority was given to accept the tracts conveyed as best REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 available from local interests and to rely upon assurances of local cooperation furnished by local agency should any claims against the Unites States occur as a result of failure of local agency to complete transfer of title. Modification authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1962: Local interests must furnish lands, rightsof- way, and spoil-disposal areas for enlargement and future maintenance of project, make alterations to utilities; construct, maintain, and operate all bridges desired in connection with bypass channel around Houma, La.; and hold the United States free from damages. Assurances were requested in April 1963; however, none of 11 local agencies involved has furnished assurances requested. Main objection to participation is requirement that local interests be responsible for alteration of utilities. Terminal facilities. Extensive terminal and transfer facilities, suitable for receiving and shipping commodities by barge, are available at principal cities in Louisiana; namely, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Harvey, Morgan City, and Lake Charles. Facilities at New Orleans are on Inner Harbor navigation canal; canal and facilities were leased from Board of Commissioners, Port of New Orleans, April 1, 1944, and are now operated by the United States, toll free, 24 hours per day. At Morgan City, on Atchafalaya River, there are two large and three small wharves open to all without charge. Otherwise facilities are confined to privately owned piers, wharves, or oil docks. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance by hired labor: Real estate activities, condition and operation studies, non-cooperative stream gaging, investigations and surveys, condition surveys, and channel patrol were continued. Locks and bridges were operated and maintained throughout fiscal year. Fender systems were repaired at Calcasieu, Inner Harbor navigation canal, Port Allen, and Vermilion locks, and at Florida Avenue bridge. Inner Harbor navigation canal lock was dewatered and repaired between July 31 and August 30, 1967, during which time the lock was closed to navigation from August 21 to 30, 1967. Repairs to northeast fender system, initiated by contract and terminated in previous fiscal year, was completed November 29, 1967, by hired labor. Maintenance by contract included raising Algiers Canal levees, dredging, completion of landscaping at Port Allen and Algiers locks, and constructing floodwalls at Belle Chasse tunnel. Raising Algiers west levee, initiated last fiscal year, was completed April 18, 1968, with 115,452 cubic yards of embankment placed this fiscal year. Raising east levee was initiated May 24, 1968, and is about 4 percent complete. Dredging Franklin Canal to restore project dimensions was initiated April 4 and completed June 9, 1968, by excavation of 392,114 cubic yards over a distance of 5.77 miles. The leased dredge Holland restored channel at Wax Lake Crossover by removal of 67,675 cubic yards between August 24 and 30, 1967, removed 145,000 cubic yards vicinity of Bayou Sorrel lock between August 14 and 23, 1967, and 299,105 cubic yards from Port Allen lock forebay between July 9 and 31, 1967. The leased dredge Tchefuncta removed 34,190 cubic yards from Inner Harbor navigation canal lock forebay, 131,750 cu' bic yards from Algiers lock forebay, and 75,270 cubic yards from Harvey lock forebay intermit" tently during period July 1 to October 27, 1967. Construction of floodwalls, in lieu of raising east and west levees crossing Belle Chasse tunnel, was completed in May 1968 under a reimbursable agreement with State of Louisiana, Department of Highways. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated July 1929 and project as modified is 68 percent complete. For information on completion of segments of waterway, see 1965 Annual Report, pages 523 and 524. Work remaining consists of enlarging waterway as provided by 1962 River and Harbor Act. Construc' tion of bulkheads at Lake Borgne and Chef Menteur has not been necessary and is an inactive feature. Controlling depths, mean low gulf: (Apr. 1968) New Orleans to Lake Borgne, 12 feet; (Mar. 1968) Mississippi River to Sabine River, 11 feet; Algiers alternative route, 12 feet; (Mar. 1967) Morgan CitY' Port Allen alternative route, 10 feet. Subsequent to March 1967 survey, project channel was restored as above indicated. Total cost of existing project to June 30, 1968, was $105,023,475, of which $58,233,827 was for new work, $22,673,171 for maintenance, and $24,116,477 for operation and care of locks and bridges. In addition, $340,159 for new work and $7,005 for maintenance was expended from contributed funds. 12. HOUMA NAVIGATION CANAL, LOUISIANA Location. Extends from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at mile 59.5 west of Harvey lock southerly 412 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT about 16 miles, thence southeasterly 10.5 miles to Terrebonne Bay, and 9.5 miles across bay to deep water in Cat Island Pass. At mile 11.3 above Cat Island Pass, Houma Navigation Canal crosses Bayou Petit Caillou and 20 miles above Cat Island Pass it crosses Bayou Grand Caillou. No other major waterways are crossed by Houma Navigation Canal. (See Army Engineer and Geological Survey quadrangle maps; Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1050, 1116, and 1116A; and Coast and Geodetic Charts 1274 and 1275, and sheet 7 of -Navigation Maps of Intracoastal Waterway, Gulf Section, New Orleans, La., to Port Arthur, Texas,-published by Mississippi River Commission.) Existing project. Provides that United States assume maintenance and operation of Houma Navigation Canal, constructed by Parish of Terrebonne, to dimensions of 15 by 150 feet. Existing project Was authorized by 1962 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 583, 87th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map). Normal range of tide is 10 inches at mouth and 4 inches at Houma; extreme range, 14 inches at mouth and 6 inches at Houma; wind and tide, 1 to 3 feet at mouth; flood, 3 to 4 feet in upper section. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way for maintenance of canal and for establishment and maintenance of aids to navigation; furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas; provide alterations to facilities; hold the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate all bridges under construction or to be constructed across the canal. Local interests (under Chief of Engineer's interpretation of H. Doc. 583, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) will not be required to convey title of canal to United States. Assurances were furnished and accepted April 12, 1963. Local cooperating body has furnished temporary spoil areas as required for maintenance dredging of canal. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance by hired labor consisted of condition and Operation studies and maintenance dredging. The U.S. dredge Schweizer removed 534,933 cubic yards from Cat Island Pass during periods July 17 to August 14, 1967, and June 17 to 27, 1968. Contract dredge Arkansas restored project channel from miles 34.7 to 36.6 by removal of 492,586 cubic yards between December 18, 1967, and March 7, 1968. Condition at end of fiscal year.

MERMENTAU RIVER, BAYOU NEZPIQUE, AND BAYOU DES CANNES, LA. Location. Mermentau River is formed by junction of Bayous des Cannes and Nezpique, 2.25 miles above Mermentau, La., flows southwesterly, and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Bayou Nezpique rises in Evangeline Parish, flows southerly and empties into Mermentau River. Bayou des Cannes rises in Evangeline Parish, flows south-southwesterly and empties into Mermentau River. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1116 and 1278, and Geological Survey maps, Evangeline, Hathaway, Mermentau, Jennings, Lake Arthur, Gueydan, Thornwell, Latania Lake, Catfish Lake, Grand Cheniere, and Bayou Labauve quadrangles.) Previous project. For details see page 637, 1961 Annual Report. Existing project. Provides a 12-by 125-foot channel in Mermentau River from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to junction of Bayous Nezpique and des Cannes with a 12-by 200-foot channel through Lake Arthur; replacement of existing Lake Arthur highway bridge over Mermentau River with new bridge constructed to current highway standards and with vertical and horizontal clearances of 50 and 200 feet, respectively; and enlargement and realinement of Bayous Nezpique and des Cannes, to provide a 12-by 125-foot waterway from Interstate Highway 10 to the Mermentau River. Mean range of tide on Mermentau River near mouth is 10 inches and near head about 3 inches, extreme ranges being 14 to 5 inches, respectively. Variation of water surface near mouth may be as much as 7 or 8 feet, due to hurricanes on gulf and near head from 8 to 12 feet, due to freshets. Under ordinary conditions, range of tide on Bayous Nezpique and des Cannes is about 3 inches at mouth and nothing at head. Estimated cost for new work (July 1968) is $3,900,000 Federal and $887,000 non-Federal, including cash contribution of $530,000. Existing project authorized by 1965 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 239, 89th Cong., Ist sess., contains latest published map). Local cooperation. Local interests shall: provide all lands for construction and maintenance and spoilretaining works or the costs of such works; hold and save the United States free from damage due to the 413 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 project; design and construct a replacement highway bridge at Lake Arthur, La.; bear 17.1 percent of the costs ($530,000), and operate and maintain the bridge; provide and maintain terminal facilities; and accomplish and maintain all modifications to utilities. The improvement of the Mermentau River or of Bayou Nezpique or Bayou des Cannes, may be undertaken independently as the local cooperation therefor is provided, concurrent with, or subsequent to, replacement of the Lake Arthur highway bridge. Assurances have been furnished by the Acadia and Jefferson Davis Parish Police Juries and the Louisiana Department of Highways. No assurances were received from any local agency for the work in Cameron and Vermilion Parishes. Terminal facilities. Several small, privately owned wharves at Grand Cheniere and a public terminal at town of Lake Arthur. Privately owned terminals for transferring crude oil to barges.are: One on Lake Arthur near town of Lake Arthur; one on Mermentau River near town of Mermentau; two on Bayou Nezpique near Jennings; and four on Bayou des Cannes; one near Evangeline, one at Mermentau, and two near Jennings. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces and an architect-engineer firm continued studies and investigations for preparation of general design memorandum, which is 90 percent complete. Agreement was reached with the Louisiana Department of Highways on the draft of the reimbursable contract for the design and construction of the Lake Arthur, La. bridge replacement. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction not initiated. 14. MERMENTAU RIVER, LA. Location. Work covered by this project is 35 to 70 miles southeast of Lake Charles, La., along lower Mermentau River below Grand Lake, mile 25, to Gulf of Mexico; Inland Waterway from Vermilion Bay to White Lake, White Lake to Grand Lake, and from Schooner Bayou to Intracoastal Waterwaygulf section (Schooner Bayou cutoff); North Prong of Schooner Bayou; and waterway from White Lake to Pecan Island, La., an artificial canal, extending from 5-foot depth contour in White Lake, almost due south for about 1.8 miles to Pecan Island. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1277 and 1278, and Geological Survey maps.) Existing project. Flood control, navigation, irriga- 414 tion, and salinity control in coastal marsh of lower Mermentau River Basin and channel enlargement of lower Mermentau River below Grand Lake, mile 25, to a minimum section 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 Mermentau River, for discharge of floodflows and control of tidalflow 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; con' 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, 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 Schooner 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. (See table at end of chapter for Acts att thorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operatioa and maintenance of Schooner Bayou and Catfish Point control structures, and condition and opera' tion studies, including cooperative stream gagind' was continued by hired labor. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project began April 1947 and was completed July NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 1952. New work dredging was accomplished from April 1947 to June 1952. Catfish Point control structure was constructed from November 1948 to August 1951. Reservation comprises 9.7 acres. Schooner Bayou lock and control structures: Schooner Bayou lock and dam were completed in 1913 and 1914, respectively, and the lockmaster's house in 1917. Lock was closed to navigation May 7, 1951, and abandoned by authority of Chief of Engineers on October 9, 1951. Permanent closure of lock channel and tie-in dikes was completed September 1951. Construction of control structures was accomplished from August 1949 to May 1951. Reservation comprises 6.9 acres.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER, BATON ROUGE TO GULF OF MEXICO, LA. Location. Flows generally southeasterly through Southeastern portion of Louisiana. At Head of Passes, 233.1 miles below Louisiana Highway Commission bridge at Baton Rouge, river is broken up into three main passes: Southwest Pass, South Pass, and Pass a Loutre, two of which, Southwest Pass and South Pass, are improved under existing project. Head of Passes to mouths of Southwest and South Passes are 20.1 and 13.5 miles, respectively. Mouth of Southwest Pass is 141 miles west of Mobile, Ala., and 349 miles east of Galveston, Tex. Mouth of South Pass is 18.5 miles northeast of mouth of Southwest Pass. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1269, 1271, and 1272; Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley map, and Zachary, Baton Rouge, White Castle, Donaldsonille, Thibodaux, Mount Airy, Bonnet Carre, Hahn- Ville, New Orleans, St. Bernard, Barataria, Pointe a la Hache, Black Bay, Empire, Forts, West Delta, East Delta and Southwest Pass quadrangles and 1967 folio of flood control and navigation maps, Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to Gulf of Mexico, La., published by Mississippi River Commission.) Previous projects. For details see page 552 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. Provides for channel dimensions as follows: Between a line one-tenth mile below Louisiana Highway Commission bridge at Baton Rouge 128.6 miles to upper port limits of New Orleans, 40 by 500 feet; within limits of port of New Orleans, where that authority has jurisdiction over both banks of river, a distance of 17.2 miles, 35 by 1,500 feet, measured from a line generally 100 feet from face of left bank wharves, but not closer than 100 feet to wharves on right bank; within 35-by 1,500-foot channel in port limits of New Orleans, 40 by 500 feet; from lower limits of port of New Orleans 86.7 miles to Head of Passes, 40 by 1,000 feet; Southwest Pass, 20.1 miles from Head of Passes to outer ends of jetties, 40 by 800 feet; Southwest Pass bar, 40 by 600 feet; South Pass from Head of Passes to outer ends of jetties, 13.5 miles, 30 by 450 feet; and South Pass bar, 30 by 600 feet. Plane of reference is mean low water. General plan of improvement of Southwest Pass provides for contracting pass to uniform cross section with about 1,420-foot surface width by means of jetties, spur dikes and bulkheads; for channel improvement by dredging and retaining dredged material between dikes, bulkheads, and jetties; for dredging a channel through outer bar inclining to left of jetty axis; for construction of small revetted openings through narrow portions of banks of pass for purpose of strengthening these banks; for closure of minor outlets not required for maintenance of banks; for construction of sills to prevent enlargement of Jump and Cubits Gap; for dredging to elevation minus 40 feet in river at Head of Passes, as far as Cubits Gap, a distance of 3.5 miles; for repairs to sill across Pass a Loutre and bank revetment at Head of Passes; for construction of dikes with a view to reducing width of river above Head of Passes; for construction of a submerged deflecting dike above Head of Passes; and for other minor work. East jetty is about 24,950 feet long and west jetty 19,699 feet. Jetties are composed of a substructure of brush mattresses, originally built to about elevation of mean low water, surmounted with a superstructure of concrete and large riprap. Spur dikes are composed of cribwork of round piling filled with willows and stone, or with a curtain of round piles along upstream face. General plan of improvement of South Pass provides for construction and maintenance of jetties and spur dikes; maintenance of a sill across Pass a Loutre; for dredging a channel 40.feet deep and no specified width through shoals of river between Cubits Gap and Head of Passes, 3.5 miles, and for seaward extension of east jetty at mouth of pass; removal of west dike and construction of spur dikes and bank revetment at Head of Passes; removal of false point 415 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 at head of South Pass to bottom elevation of minus 45 feet and revetment of new bank line. East jetty foundation is 12,070 feet long; inner east jetty is 11,170 feet long; west jetty is 7,820 feet long; and inner west jetty is 4,710 feet long. Jetties are composed of a substructure of brush mattresses surmounted by a superstructure of stone and concrete. Spur dikes are composed of cribwork of round piling filled with willows and stone. Plane of reference is mean low water. Variation of water surface is 16 inches at mouths and 10 inches at heads of the passes, due to tides. Extreme range of tides at mouths of passes due to hurricanes is about 6 feet. At New Orleans extreme range of water surface is about 20 feet due to floods. At Baton Rouge extreme range is about 45 feet due to floods. Estimated cost of existing project (July 1968) is $33,987,000 Federal and $18,000 non-Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $28,900. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. None required, except for modification of project in connection with Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, which is reported separately. Terminal facilities. Some 100 piers, wharves, or docks serve Port of New Orleans. Most wharves on east or left bank parallel riverbank forming nearly a continuous covered quay about 10 miles long. Public wharves controlled by Board of Commissioners, Port of New Orleans (the Dock Board), cover 62 percent of improved waterfront. These facilities include a shipside grain elevator, general cargo and cotton wharves, fruit landings, bunkering facilities, terminal warehouses, railroad terminals, marine railways, and drydocks and are considered adequate for present commerce. (For further details see Port Series No. 20, -The Port of New Orleans, La.-1958.) A foreign trade zone is located in Port of New Orleans. City of Baton Rouge has a reinforced concrete dock for deep sea vessels with mechanical-handling facility. Attached to downstream end of wharf is a floating wharf boat 231 by 40 1/2 feet, of 2,000-ton capacity. Facilities are served by a transfer boat and municipal terminal having a capacity of 40 cars per day. Private terminals for handling oil and other products are at points on both sides of river between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (For further details, see -Port Facilities-included in -Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana,-published in 1967 by Mississippi River Commission, and Port Series No. 19, Vol. 1, Port St. Joe, Fla., Pensacola, Fla., Baton Rouge, La., Panama City, Fla., Pascagoula, Miss., Lake Charles, La., Gulfport, Miss.,- revised 1957.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Work remaining is construction of lateral permeable pile dikes, miles 1.8 to 2.8 east bank, miles 10.1 to 14.4 west bank, and miles 19.1 to 20.2 west bank, to stabilize Southwest Pass and prevent further bank erosion by high river stages and wave action from passing ships. Construction is deferred to await results of river action since completing the 40-foot channel. Maintenance: (a) Baton Rouge to New Orleans: U.S. dredges Jadwin and Langfitt removed 4,801,920 cubic yards at five crossings. (See table at end of chapter on maintenance: Baton Rouge to New Orleans.) Reconnaissance surveys were made of Red Eye, Medora, Granada, Bayou Goula, Alhambra, Philadelphia, Belmont, and Fairview Crossings by hired labor, as required. Maintenance by hired labor: U.S. dredge Jadwin, $461,001; U.S. dredge Langfitt, $109,054; and surveys, $17,587.

(See table on maintenance: New Orleans Harbor.) On November 17, 1947, contract was entered into with Board of Commissioners for the Port of New Orleans, for a more efficient and expeditious use of dredges to provide navigable depths in project channel in Port of New Orleans and within 100- foot limit along left bank wharves. This contract was renewed in 1967 for a period of five years. During fiscal year under this reciprocal agreement, 346,687 cubic yards were removed by leased dredge from within 100-foot line, and 120,175 cubic yards were removed by the Board of Commissioners outside of the 100-foot line. River traffic control signal lights to govern movement of vessels within Port of New Orleans during flood stages were operated during periods: Feb. 10 to Mar. 4, 1968; Mar. 27 to May 8, 1968; May 31 to Jun. 27, 1968. The Gretna traffic control light tower operating house was replaced in December 1967. 416 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT Maintenance by contract: Contract, leased dredge: $411,516 Maintenance by hired labor: 35,666 (c) Southwest Pass: The U.S. dredge Langfitt and the contract dredge Duplex removed 15,914,510 cubic yards.

Office to handle surveys of Mississippi River passes maintained at Venice, La. (See table at end of chapter for maintenance by contract and hired labor.) (d) South Pass: At South Pass Bar, 1,666,096 cubic Yards of material were removed by U.S. dredge Langfitt from 4,000 feet inside the lower jetty channel to 2,500 feet into the gulf. Repair and maintenance of outlets and parallel Stone dikes were made by hired labor. Routine channel surveys and miscellaneous observations were made. (See table at end of chapter on maintenance by hired labor.) (e) Supervision and administration, reports, channel patrol, engineering and design, stream gaging, hydraulic studies, observations, posting record of construction, miscellaneous investigations, and danger zone and fairways studies cost $533,559. (f) Hydrographic surveys, stream gaging, investigations, and studies continued. Data obtained included complete surveys of Southwest and South Passes, as required; continuous water-level records at controlling points throughout passes; and gaging of minor outlets. (See table at end of chapter on average discharges in percentages of total discharge of river at head of passed during flood cycles; also See table on channel conditions on June 30, 1968.) Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 98 percent complete, exclusive of Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet. (a) Baton Rouge to New Orleans Harbor, and New Orleans to Head of Passes: Removal by private interests of sunken vessels Genevieve and Letitia Lykes (Betsy) from channel on left descending bank at mile 115 AHP is in progress. Preparations are being made for removal of sunken dredge Indiana from the right descending bank, mile 102.4 AHP. The Governor Nicholls traffic control tower in the Port of New Orleans will be raised in elevation so that light operators can see above ships that dock in front of the structure. Annual maintenance is required after each high water period. Dredging is in progress on crossings between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, by U.S. dredge Jadwin and in New Orleans Harbor by leased plant. A natural channel of project dimensions or greater was available between New Orleans and Head of Passes. (b) Southwest Pass: Annual maintenance is required after each high water period and is in progress by contract dredge and U.S. dredge Lan gfitt. East and west jetties, east and west headland structures, permeable pile dikes, and parallel stone dikes require continued maintenance due to settlement and wave action from open sea and passing ships. A contract was awarded for repairs to east jetty on 20 June, but work has not started. Continued watch and study is required for protection and preservation of narrow existing land area between Southwest Pass and West Bay in Gulf of Mexico. Parallel stone dikes preventing bank erosion from passing traffic and placing dredge spoil on bank are proving most effective. The dredge George W. Catt, at mile 16.68 below Head of Passes, was buried by contract to a depth of sixty feet below mean low gulf level. Private interests will remove sunken barge at mile 46 AHP. (c) South Pass: A good channel is available throughout the pass. Controlling channel conditions on June 30, 1968, were 32 feet over bar channel at gulf entrance to pass. Minimum width of channel was 50 feet in lower jetty channel, vicinity mile 12.6 below Head of Passes. Dredging is in progress by U.S. dredge Langfitt. Annual maintenance is required on the outlets and parallel stone dikes. Contractor has yet to remove two sunken barges from west bank, vicinity mile 11 BHP. Total costs of existing project to end of fiscal year were $106,341,032, of which $33,187,008 was for new work and $73,154,024 was for maintenance. 16. MISSISSIPPI RIVER-GULF OUTLET, LA. Location.

REMOVING WATER HYCINTH (LOUISIANA) Location. Lakes and streams tributary to the gulf coast. Existing project. Removal of plants from navigable waters of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, so far as they are or may become an obstruction to navigation, by any mechanical, chemical, or other means whatsoever; for construction and operation of boats equipped with suitable machinery for such removal; and construction and operation of booms to prevent plants drifting from one stream to another. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. A well- 419 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 balanced combination of mechanical and chemical methods of destruction was undertaken to take maximum advantage of funds available. Work accomplished in main waterways and their principal tributaries over which major portion of navigation moves. Preventive maintenance work carried out in secondary streams and feeder areas whenever practicable. Feeder areas previously freed of hyacinths and placed on a patrol maintenance basis have become infected with alligatorweed which has not proved to be as susceptible to approved chemical treatment as water-hyacinth. A total of 36,204,168 square yards (7480 res) of vegetation was treated by chemicals and 692,604 square yards..e..acres) of vegetation was destroyed by machinery in Bayou Black, Lake Cataouatche, and feeder streams, streams of Lake des Allemands Basin, Lake Dauterive area, Bayou Penchant-Bayou Copasaw area, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, streams of Maurepas- Pontchartrain Basin, Plaquemine Waterway, Caddo Lake, Bayou Lacassine and Bayou Teche. Operations were conducted in main navigable streams on a recurring basis. No permanent results can be expected until vegetation in secondary streams and feeder areas has been destroyed. Condition at end offiscalyear. From 1900 to 1902 a boat with suitable machinery for destroying hyacinth by crushing was operated. 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 sawtype destroyers, and chemical treatment. Excellent results are being obtained on water-hyacinths by these methods. 20. TANGIPAHOA RIVER, LA. Location. Originates in State of Mississippi and flows generally southerly to Lake Pontchartrain, La., about 110 miles.

Doc. 304, 90th Cong., 2d sess.). Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way for construction and future maintenance; hold the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate works after completion. Local interests met requirements on all work accomplished and indicated their desire to comply with requirements as needed, but have not been able to furnish all levee rights-of-way to needed complete levee phase of project. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued investigations, surveys, preparation of plans and specifications, and real estate activities. Contract work consisted of hydrographic surveys, enlargement of berm at Cane River dam, and con- Struction of bank protection. Berm at Cane River was enlarged by placement of 15,006 cubic yards of embankment during period June 10 to 30, 1968. To miles of left bank and 1.4 miles of right bank were protected by placement of 225,728 tons of stone in riprap trenchfill revetment. (See table at end of chapter on construction of bank protection.) Existing pile dikes at Douglas Island Bend, R- 278.O.R, were reinforced and 3 groins constructed by placement of 40,490 tons of stone for protection of 0.3 mile during the period August 14, 1967, to March 7, 1968. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in February 1948 and is 76 percent complete, with approximately 149 miles of left bank and 235 miles of right bank levees improved. About 21.1 miles of banks are protected with stone and pile, standard board, and riprap trenchfill revetments. 42. TEXARKANA RESERVOIR, TEX. Location. On Sulphur River in Cass and Bowie Counties, Tex. Dam is 45 miles above mouth of Sulphur River, and about 8 miles southwest of Texarkana, Tex. Existing project. An earthfill dam 18,500 feet long and 100 feet high, including a spillway 200 feet wide and outlet works with a capacity of 27,600 cubic feet per second. Reservoir controls runoff from 3,400 square miles of drainage area, and has a storage capacity of 2,654,300 acre-feet, of which 145,300 acre-feet are for conservation and remainder of flood control. Estimated cost for new work (July 1968) is $40,570,000 which includes $1,950,100 Code 710, $399,900 accelerated public works funds, and $6,227,604 to be reimbursed by local interests, over a period not to exceed 50 years, for water supply storage. Reimbursement includes $1,997,604 for prorata share of original reservoir cost. This increased cost is due principally to conversion of 120,000 acre-feet to water supply storage after completion of Cooper Reservoir. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by hired labor forces conducted engineering studies relating to water supply and constructed precast launching ramp in Sawmill Hill area. New work by contract consisted of shaping, compacting, and surfacing access roads and parking area at eight locations during the period November 1, 1967, to May 14, 1968. Construction of 2 comfort stations was initiated April 11, 1968, and is 93 percent complete. Maintenance by hired labor consisted of operation and maintenance of the dam and appurtenant works. Maintenance by contract consisted of excavating approximately 1,425 linear feet for boat channel between Big Creek and Kelly Creek areas during the period July 31 to October 24, 1967.

(See Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley maps, scales 1:62,500 and 1:500,000, and maps of White River, vicinity of Batesville, Arkansas, to Mississippi River, scale 1:62,500.) White River enters Memphis District at foot of Peach Orchard Bluff, Arkansas, 165 miles above its mouth; but Memphis District is responsible for maintenance of navigation channel as far upstream as Newport, Arkansas, mile 255. Previous projects. For details, see page 1874, Annual Report for 1915, and page 938, Annual Report for 1938. Existing projects. Maintenance of a channel 4 1/2 feet deep by 100 feet wide between mouth of river and Batesville, 296 miles, by snagging, dredging, and contraction works. Maintenance discontinued after fiscal year 1951 due to negligible traffic; dredging and snagging resumed in 1962. Future improvement of White River channel from mouth to mile 10 will be constructed and maintained as part of the Arkansas River Project. The existing project was modified by OCE, March 11, 1968, under authority of section 107 of the 1960 River and Harbor Act, to provide a 125-foot wide channel with minimum depth of 5 feet and a depth of 8 feet at a stage of 12 feet on the Clarendon gage. Increased dimensions will extend from the mouth to Augusta, at mile 199. The authorized first cost is estimated at $149,000, and increased annual maintenance cost is estimated at $45,000. Modification of the existing project under section 107 has not been funded for construction. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation.

Channel as a whole has been greatly improved by the work completed to date. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain required channel epths. Navigation season formerly extended from mrid-February to mid-December, the river generally closed by ice remainder of year. However, in recent Years increased demands of commerce and Steel hull boats have combined to extend naviugsaet ioonf Season throughout the year except when blocked by heavy ice or gorges. River is generally above 10- foot stage, St. Louis gage, from latter part of February to latter part of August, during which time Project channel depths generally prevail without 6edging. Mean stage of river, St. Louis gage, was .39fe et for fiscal year 1967 and 7.61 feet for fiscal year 1968. A study is underway to determine Whether project criteria need to be revised in order to assure a dependable 9-foot project depth. 5. MOCCASIN SPRINGS, MO. Location.

Project includes all bottom lands between bluffs on the east and Mississippi River and Chain of Rocks Canal on the west, and extends from Cahokia diversion channel on the north to Prairie du Pont Creek on the south. (See Corps of Engineers Navigation Charts, Middle and Upper Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to Minneapolis, Minn.) Existing project. The 1936 Flood Control Act authorized raising and enlarging existing levee system by construction or reconstruction of 19.8 miles of levee, including 3.1 miles of floodwall, together with necessary appurtenant works consisting of gravity drainage structures, highway and railroad closure structures, alterations and reconstruction of existing pumping plants, alterations to railroad bridges and approaches at levee crossings, service roads on levee crown, and seepage control measures. Work under this authorization will provide the area protection against a flood of about 200-year frequency. The completed 10 miles of levee along Chain of Rocks Canal and Lock 27 provides flood protection on the landward side integral with and to the same degree as the East St. Louis levee. Estimated cost of work under this authorization is $21,955,000 (1968). The Flood Control Act of 1965 modified existing project to provide for channel improvements, diversion ditches, flood plain detention areas, a reservoir on Little Canteen Creek, and a pumping plant to considerably reduce damages resulting from interior flooding. This act also authorized reconstruction of a channel stabilization dam in Cahokia Creek diversion channel to provide protection to adjacent levees and bridges from scour and eventual loss. Estimated Federal cost of work under this authorization is $8,400,000 (1968). Local cooperation. Fully complied with for work under 1936 authorization. For work authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965, local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction; hold the United States free from darnages due to the construction works; make relocations of and modifications to highway bridges, streets, roads, sewers, and utilities; maintain and operate all the works after completion including removal of silt and debris from impoundment areas and channels in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; prevent encroachment on improved channels, ponding areas, and detention areas including the reservoir, and if encroachment occurs or capacities are impaired, provide substitute storage or equivalent pumping capacity promptly without cost to the United States; and at least annually notify interests affected that the project provides partial protection from the larger floods. East Side Levee and Sanitary District, the potential sponsor, has legal authority to execute assurances for the project, but does not have finan" cial capability at this time. The low water dam has been designated as a separable and usable segment of the project for the purpose of obtaining local assurances. The Wood River Drainage and Levee District and East Side Levee and Sanitary District are able to furnish the requirements of local coop' eration (Section 3, Flood Control Act of 1936) for the channel stabilization dam.

In addition to usual requirements, local interests must alter existing improvements, other than railroads, and prevent further encroachment upon existing defined waterways of tributaries by zoning or other means, or construct adequate waterways, or provide other drainage facilities to prevent flood problems in heights area of Albuquerque from developing into one of serious proportions. Local cooperation requirements also include cash contribution toward cost of construction in lump sum amounts equivalent to about 1.3 percent of total first cost of north diversion channel and about 3.4 percent of total first cost of south diversion channel. Total estimated cost to local interests, including cash contribution toward cost of construction is $13,910,000. Preconstruction planning was initiated in 1956. Work was stopped in fiscal'year 1959 as a result of failure of local interests to comply with requirements. 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 Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority was created to provide local sponsorship for project subject to election of Board of Directors and approval of bond issue to provide funds for the authority. On August 27, 1963, voters approved a $9.5 million bond issue for funding necessary local cooperation costs and elected a board of directors to serve as its governing body. Formal assurances were accepted by district on November 19, 1963. An additional bond issue to cover increase in non- Federal cost was approved by voters in general election November 8, 1966. Operation and results during fiscal year. Phase 2 on north channel, Alameda outlet structure to U. S. Highway 1-25 was completed May 21, 1968. Construction of Phase 3 on north channel, U. S. Highway 1-25 to Campus Wash, was continued. Planning work on south channel continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project planning is approximately 96 percent complete. Construction of Phases I and 2 of north channel are complete and Phase 3 of north channel is about 60 percent complete. Construction of south channel is scheduled to be initiated early in fiscal year 1969. Entire project is scheduled to be completed in June 1970. 2. CONCHAS RESERVOIR, CANADIAN RIVER, N. MEX. Location. Dam is in San Miguel County, N. Mex., on Canadian River, about one-fourth mile downstream from confluence of Canadian and Conchas Rivers. It is about 30 miles northwest of Tucumcari, N. Mex., and 743 miles upstream from mouth of Canadian River. Canadian River is about 906 miles long, rises in northeastern part of New Mexico, and flows south and east to Arkansas River near Webbers Falls, Okla. (See Geological Survey State map of New Mexico, scale 1:500,000, and Geologi cal Survey topographic map, Tucumcari quadran' gle, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. A concrete gravity main dam section 1,250 feet long with a maximum height of 200 feet above streambed located in Canadian River Canyon together with earth dikes on each side having an overall length of about 3.7 miles. Main section contains conduits in its base for release of water to maintain low flows and for drainage of reservoir, and an overflow, ungated spillway 300 feet long. Earth dikes vary in height up to 100 feet and north,dike contains a concrete ogee-type emergency spillway 3,000 feet long. Reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 550,800 acre-feet (198,200 for flood control, 273,000 for water conservation and irrigation, and 79,600 dead storage). Dam con" trols 7,409 square miles of drainage area. Federal cost was $15,811,171, including $2,279,326 for initi " ating construction of project under authortiy of Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. Project is based on report of Canadian River, N' Mex., Tex., and Okla., dated June 1, 1931, made in compliance with House Document 308, 69th Con" gress, 1st session, and approved by the President, July 29, 1935, under provisions of Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 and adopted by Con' gress in 1936 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 308, 74th Cong., 1st sess.). Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation of reservoir continued. Reservoir was operated for storage of floodwaters and releases for irrigation purposes. Estimated total accumulated flood darna' ges prevented by project through fiscal year 1967 were $70,000. Estimated irrigation benefits for fiscal year 1967 were $283,306. Estimated total accuim' lated irrigation benefits through fiscal year 1961 were $4,806,447. Pool elevation at start of fiscal yeas was 4,186.02 feet, with corresponding storage of 227,845 acre-feet. Maximum pool elevation o 4,193.45 feet, with corresponding storage of 2835 acre-feet, occurred September 17, 1967. Pool eleval tion did not exceed spillway crest (elevation 4,201 feet) during fiscal year. Irrigation releases were ter minated October 16, 1967, and spring irrigation 560 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT releases began April 4, 1968. Total releases for fiscal year were 100.177 acre-feet (96,896, for irrigation, 62 for power production, and 3,219 miscellaneous losses). Releases of 94,378 acre-feet were made to Arch Hurley Conservancy District and 2,518 to Bell Ranch. Pool elevation on June 30, 1968, was 4,183.77 feet with corresponding storage of 212,640 acre-feet. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was essentially complete in 1940. Reservoir and appurtenances are in good condition and in operation. Irrigation of some lands under project was begun in November 1945. 3. DODGE CITY LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECT, KANSAS Location. At Dodge City, Ford County, Kans., on Arkansas River about 130 miles downstream from Colorado-Kansas State line. (See Geological Survey map for Dodge quadrangle, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. About 7 miles of levees of about 8.3 feet average height on both banks of Arkansas River (4.3 miles on left bank and 2.6 miles on right bank) and enlargement of river channel to form a floodway about 470 feet wide which flow will convey a of 40,000 cubic feet per second through city. Levees will be protected by flexible-type steel jetties. our reaches of floodwalls about 100 feet long will be provided to insure continuity between levees and bridge abutments. Project also includes relocation of a railroad bridge and grade raise. Appurtenant Works include interior drainage structures and fencing, a pumping plant for disposal of sanitary sewage during high water periods, and minor alterations to local roads and a sanitary sewerline. As result of the very damaging flood of June 1965 on the Arkansas River which peaked at about 82,000 c.f.s. at Dodge City, consideration is being given to modification of project design to increase Protection to maximum extent practicable without Causing substantial increase in Federal and non- Federal costs. Plan being considered is based on a design flow of 40,000 c.f.s. with the added require- ment that top of levees would not be lower than the Profile for 60,000 c.f.s. flow. Revised frequency curves prepared since 1965 flood indicate 40,000 c.s, flow would occur about once in 63 years and 82,00 c.f.s. flow about once in 250 years. These raquency curves also show that a 90-year frequency bees a discharge of about 48,000 c.f.s., and it has te e n determined such a flow could be safely passed raiough the floodway as presently designed. The se in top of levee to 60,000 c.f.s. profile would 561 increase carrying capacity of floodway, but under such a plan the bridges on Second Street and 14th Avenue would not be raised. Sandbagging of the bridge crossings would be required during floods of that magnitude. Estimated Federal cost is $3 million. Cost of lands and damages is responsibility of local interests. Project was authorized by 1962 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 498, 87th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps). Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must acquire easement for -zoning puposes in areas that would be used for ponding of interior drainage waters and hold United States free from claims as a result of flooding from residual interior drainage during operation of project; alter existing improvements, other than railroads, including provision of a sewage disposal pumping plant; inform all individuals concerned about residual flooding problem involved owing to temporary ponding; and provide assurances that encroachment on improved river channels, interior drains, and ponding areas will not be permitted; and if ponding areas and capacities are impaired, provide substitute storage capacity or equivalent pumping capacity. A bond issue for flood control purposes -in an amount not to exceed $700,000-was approved by the voters October 12, 1965. Formal assurances will be requested as soon as revised general design memorandum is approved. Estimated non-Federal cost is $700,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was continued. Revision of general design memorandum, on basis of 40,000 c.f.s. design flood with the added requirement that top of levees will not be lower than profile of 60,000 c.f.s. flood, was completed December 1967. Reappraisal of OCE comments on revised general design memorandum will be completed in fiscal year 1969. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 88 percent complete. The hydrology design memorandum is complete and revised general design memorandum is essentially complete, except for reappraisal of OCE comments. 4. EL PASO LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECT, TEXAS Location. At El Paso, El Paso County, Tex., which is on left bank of. Rio Grande in reach that forms part of international boundary between United States and Republic of Mexico. (Geological Survey map for El Paso, Tex.; New Mexico quadrangle, scale 1:250,000.) REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Existing project. Consists of a single-purpose flood control system of detention dams, diversion dikes, and channels to collect, regulate, and discharge arroyo runoff into Rio Grande. Runoff from tributary arroyos on eastern, southern, and western slopes of adjacent Franklin Mountains often inundates sections of city and its outlying suburban developments. Project is divided into four independent elements: Northwest area, Central area, and two units (Copper System and Bluff Channel) in Southeast area. Improvements for Central area and Copper System of Southeast area are authorized for construction as soon as practicable, whereas construction of remainder of project (Northwest area and Bluff Channel of Southeast area) is to be deferred until construction is initiated by International Boundary and Water Commission on improvements which may be required to increase capacity of Rio Grande and its floodway. Elements authorized for construction as soon as practicable consist of seven reservoirs plus diversion and outlet channels in Central area to operate in conjunction with existing facilities and two reservoirs together with diversions and an outfall channel in Copper System of Southeast area. Deferred elements include three reservoirs and a diversion channel with appurtenances in Northwest area and Bluff Channel in Southeast area to intercept arroyo flows above area of principal damage and convey them to Rio Grande. Estimated Federal cost is $16,000,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965 (H. Doc. 207, 89th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). Authorized plans of improvement as recommended in survey report for Northwest area and Southeast area (Bluff Channel) would change flow conditions in Rio Grande through reach which forms part of international boundary between United States and Mexico. Proposed flood control project would collect and divert interior runoff which now ponds on valley floor and which would be discharged into this reach of river. Recommended plan was authorized subject to review and analysis of need for levee enlargement and channel improvement on Rio Grande by IB & WC. IB & WC has determined that it is not feasible to increase discharges into river as proposed in recommended plan and has stated that it would not serve best interests of United States to undertake necessary levee enlargement and channel improvements involved on Rio Grande. Instead, IB & WC recommends adoption of Plan B for the Northwest area as presented in survey report, which calls for four additional dams and minimum diversion channel work but which would cost about $4,000,000 additional. Boundary Commission would justify this plan by supporting additional costs. For Southeast area it recommends Plan C as presented in survey report which would substitute two dams for Bluff Channel at no extra cost over authorized plan. Local cooperation. In additon to usual require' ments, local interests must alter existing improve' ments, other than railroads or improvements con' structed and maintained by United States, prevent encroachment on all of project works which would reduce their design capacities; take steps to prevent encroachment upon existing defined waterways trib" utary to project by zoning or other means such as enlargements, or other modifications, of existing waterway facilities to prevent minor flood problems in these tributary waterways from developing into problems of serious proportions; and inform all concerned that project is designed to control floods originating above structures and that some residual flooding may be expected from precipitation occur, ring below structures. Estimated non-Federal cost is $3,340,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Precon* struction planning of Central area and Copper SYstem of Southeast area was continued. Field surveYS by aerial photogrammetric method and hydrology design memoranda for Central area and Copper System were completed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstructi planning is about 55 percent complete. Surveys and hydrology design memoranda (Central area and Copper System) are complete. General design meo' orandum is about 75 percent complete. 5. GREAT BEND LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECT, KANSAS Location. At Great Bend, Barton County, Kans.' on left bank of Arkansas River at river mile 873, about 4.5 miles upstream from confluence of Wal' nut Creek with Arkansas River. (See Geological Survey map, Great Bend quadrangle, scalC 1:250,000.) Existing project. Consists of 6.2 miles of leveed channel to divert Walnut Creek floodflows aroun and upstream from city into Arkansas River; a leveed channel 1.5 miles long to direct Little Wal nut Creek floodflows into Walnut Diversion Chan* nel; 6 miles of improved channel with levees alon# Arkansas River; a tieback levee 4.3 miles long on left bank of Arkansas River upstream from junc 562 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT tion with Walnut Diversion Channel; alteration or relocation of two railroad bridges; and appurtenant facilities. Project will protect city of Great Bend and vicinity from Arkansas River flows up to 86,000 cubic feet per second and Walnut Creek flows of 26,000 cubic feet per second. Estimated Federal cost is $4,920,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965 (H. Doc. 182, 89th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must provide easements for flood zoning purposes in ponding United areas; hold States free from claims as a result of flooding from residual interior runoff during operation of project; inform periodically all concerned that Some flooding will continue to occur because of temporary ponding; prohibit any encroachment on design capacities of river channel, diversion channels, interior drains, and ponding areas; and if Ponding area capacities are impaired, provide promptly, without cost to United States, substitute Storage or equivalent pumping capacity; alter existing improvements, other than railroad bridges and approaches connected therewith; provide fences on both sides of Walnut diversion channel for structural protection and as a safety measure during Periods of high flow. In addition, construction of the flood control works will be initiated concurrently with or subsequent to replacement of U.S. Highssway 281 bridge across Arkansas River. A bond SSiatlo ef inance requirements was defeated in special election on August 10, 1965. Since defeat of initial bond issue, City Council initiated a campaign to better acquaint people in community with proposed project. On April 2, 1968, a bond issue was again defeated. Governing Body Of Great Bend is proceeding with further studies and hopes to again present bond issue to the peo- Ple. Operation and results during fiscal year. Precon- Struction was initiated during second quarter of scal year. Project planning has been held in abey- ance since defeat of bond issue. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction is about 2 percent complete. 6. JOHN MARTIN RESERVOIR, ARKANSAS L RIVER, COLO. ocation. On Arkansas River 1,159 miles upstream rom its mouth, 300 miles downstream from its froe, in Bent County, about 18 miles upstream am city of Lamar, Colo. (See Geological Survey maps for Lamar and Las Animas (Colo.) quadrangles, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. A concrete and earthfill structure about 2.6 miles long with a maximum height of 130 feet above streambed and an overflow, gated spillway 1,174 feet long. On basis of sediment resurvey, new area-capacity curves show reservoir storage capacity of 631,121 acre-feet (267,176 for flood control and 363,945 for conservation and recreation storage). Reservoir controls a drainage area of 18,915 square miles and is operated as a unit of coordinated reservoir system for flood control in Arkansas River Basin. Federal cost was $15,173,389. Existing project was authorized by 1936 Flood Control Act under the title -Caddoa Reservoir, near Lamar in Colorado-(H. Doc. 308, 74th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). War Department Civil Appropriation Act of 1940 provided that Caddoa Reservoir project in Colorado and Kansas should be known as John Martin Reservoir project. Public Law 89-298 modified the act of June' 22, 1936 (49 Stat. 1570) to authorize and direct Chief of Engineers to use, not to exceed, 10,000 acre-feet of reservoir flood control storage space for fish and wildlife and recreation purposes. The Chief of Engineers provided this space and set top elevation of conservation, fish and wildlife and recreation pool at elevation 3,851.83 feet contingent upon stipulations and limitations of said act. Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. Regulation of conservation storage continued under rules and regulations of Arkansas River Compact. Estimated flood damages prevented during fiscal year 1967 were $170,368. Estimated total accumulative flood damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1967 were $71,887,448. Estimated irrigation benefits for fiscal year 1967 were $1,483,379. Estimated total accumulative irrigation benefits through fiscal year 1967 were $16,500,829. On July 1, 1967, pool elevation was 3822.42 feet with corresponding storage of 110,009 acre-feet. Maximum pool elevation of 3,823.57 feet with corresponding storage of 116,420 acre-feet occurred on July 20, 1967. Total releases for fiscal year were 229,789 acre-feet (228,570 for irrigation and 1,219 unidentified losses). Releases attributed to irrigation benefits amounted to 143,593 acre-feet. Reservoir was emptied on April 21, 1968, and remained empty until June 15, 1968. Snowmelt and small thunderstorms induced storage from June 15 to June 22. Maximum pool elevation during this period was 3,787.52 feet with corresponding storage of 2,812 acre-feet. Reservoir was 563 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 empty from June 23 to end of fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is complete. Completed dam and appurtenances have been in operation about 20 years. 7. LAS ANIMAS LOCAL PROTECTION PROJECT, COLO. Location. At Las Animas, Bent County, Colo., at river mile 1,175 on Arkansas River, just upstream from its confluence with Purgatoire River, a major tributary that enters Arkansas River from south. (See Geological Survey map, Lamar, Colo.; Kans. quadrangle, scale 1:250,000.) Existing project. Consists of a levee 9.6 miles long on south bank of Arkansas River and a levee about 1 mile long on north bank. Appurtenant works include levee protection measures; an interior drainage system consisting of outlet structures, a ditch, and ponding areas; a sewage pumping plant; and intake structures for irrigation canals. Design flood is 140,000 cubic feet per second, which is equivalent to flood of record (June 1921 flood with peak discharge of 187,000 cubic feet per second, reduced by regulatory effect of Barrier Dam, near Pueblo, Colo., which was placed in operation shortly after June 1921 flood). Estimated Federal cost is $1,920,000. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965 (H. Doc. 165, 89th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must at least annually inform individuals concerned about residual flood problem involved owing to temporary ponding; prevent encroachment on river channel, which would reduce design flow capacity through leveed section and on ponding areas and interior drains; and if ponding area is impaired, provide substitute storage or equivalent pumping capacity promptly without cost to United States; and alter existing improvements, other than railroad bridges and approaches in connection therewith. In addition, construction will begin concurrent with or subsequent to replacement of United States Highway 50 bridge across Arkansas River; and in event local interests desire to create planned fishing lake at time Federal project is contructed, they must contribute cost of excavating fishing lake in excess of cost of borrow material from least costly alternative source currently estimated at $33,000, and hold United States free from water rights claims. Construction of U.S. Highway 50 bridge across Arkansas River has been completed. Inasmuch as the flood control project extends beyond the corporate city limits of Las Animas, Colo0 rado, the Arkansas River Conservancy District, Las Animas, Colorado, a political subdivision duly constituted and organized under the laws of the State of Colorado, is the sponsoring agency which will furnish required local cooperation. Conservancy District has jurisdiction and power to levy taxes both in the city and in those areas outside city limits affected by the project. Prior to authorization of project, the Conservancy District pledged il writing that it favored project and would furnish required local cooperation. Estimated non-Federal cost is $240,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Precon' struction planning was continued. Hydrology studies, surveys and mapping by aerial photogrammet' ric method were completed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 85 percent complete. Detailed design work is continuing, and the general desig& memorandum is about 95 percent complete. 8. LAS CRUCES LOCAL PROJECT, NEW MEXICO PROTECTION Location. On tributaries of Rio Grande at Las Cruces, Dona Ana County, N. Mex., about 87 miles downstream from Elephant Butte Dam. (See Geological Survey Map for Las Cruces, N. Mex., quad' rangle, scale 1:62,500.) Existing project. Consists of two dams, Las Cruces Dam, which extends across Alameda and Las Cru" ces Arroyos, and Campus Dam, on Campus ArrOYo. Both will be provided with uncontrolled outlets ad spillways. Las Cruces Dam, about 1,000 feet east Las Cruces city limits, will be earthfill construction about 15,570 feet long and 67 feet high with both slopes protected. Discharges from dam will be con veyed 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 acrefeet at spillway crest. Controlled drainage area is 28 square miles. Campus Dam will be a small earthfil structure 1,790 feet long and 34 feet high located on Campus Arroyo immediately upstream from ca" pus of State University. Both slopes will be prO tected by 6-inch layer of spalls. Flows from dar will be discharged directly into channel of CamPs Arroyo. Reservoir capacity is 190 acre-feet at rnaat mum water surface elevation and 158 acre-feet at 564 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT spillway crest. Controlled drainage area is 0.45 Square miles. Estimated Federal cost is $4,200,000. Project authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962 (S. Doc. 117, 87th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must alter existing improvements, other than railroads; prevent encroachment Upon outlet channel from Las Cruces Dam to Rio Grande in order to maintain a channel 275 capacity of 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 natural sediment deposits, on the reservoir areas which would reduce their storage capacities. Estimated non-Federal cost is $830,000. Formal request for assurances was transmitted to city of Las Cruces by letter dated December 3, 1965, which constituted formal notification of commencement of 5-year period of project authorization during which time local interests must fulfill requirements of local cooperation. City has cash resources of $536,000 available from bond issue; however, that amount is insufficient to meet total estimated costs of local cooperation ($830,000). Las Cruces Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority, created to take over the requirement of local cooperation inasmuch as city had exhausted its bonding capability, was dissolved after defeat of bond issue on January 30, 1968. On February 20, 1968, Mayor of Las Cruces stated that city had resumed work on project and was actively pursuing natter of financing local cooperation requirements and Would explore all possible sources of revenue and funding which could be developed. City has used proceeds available from original bond issue 1(536,000) to obtain possession and gain control of ands for Las Cruces Dam portion of project to ead off further escalation of land prices. Operations and results during fiscal year. Plans and specifications for embankment, outlet works, and Pillway for Las Cruces Dam were completed. Remainder of planning suspended after notification bond issue failed to pass. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work on the project as been Suspended. 9. LoS ESTEROS RESERVOIR AND MODIFICATION OF ALAMOGORDO DAM, PECOS Location. Los Esteros Dam is in Guadalupe County, on Pecos River, at river mile 766.4 approximately 7 miles north of Santa Rosa, N. Mex. Alamogordo Dam (existing) is in DeBaca County on Pecos River, at river mile 710.8 about 21 miles upstream from Fort Sumner, N. Mex., and about 29 miles southeast of Santa Rosa, N. Mex. (See U.S. Geological Survey map, Corazon, N. Mex., sheet, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. Authorized plan of improvement provides for construction of an earthfill dam 1,865 feet long with maximum height of 218 feet above streambed for flood control, irrigation, possible municipal water supply, and sediment storage. An uncontrolled spillway will be located about 1,000 feet back from left abutment and will be an unlined, open rock cut. Outlet works, composed of a combination pressure tunnel and penstock with two 54-inch diameter balanced, free discharge valves will be located under left abutment. An earthfill saddle dam 1,420 feet long and 12-foot maximum height will be located 4,000 feet back from left abutment of main dam. Storage capacity of reservoir at spillway crest is 505,400 acre-feet, of which 60,000 acre-feet is allocated to sedimentation reserve, 200,000 acre-feet to irrigation and water supply, and 245,400 acre-feet to flood control. Area of reservoir at spillway crest is 11,830 acres. Dam controls 2,479 square miles of drainage area. Authorized project also includes modification of existing Alamogordo Dam and Reservoir on Pecos River (river mile 710.8) about 21 miles upstream from Fort Sumner, N. Mex., to exclusive flood-control use. Under the terms of Pecos River compact and with consent of Carlsbad Irrigation District, irrigation storage from Alamogordo Reservoir will be transferred to Los Esteros Reservoir. Existing dam is an earth and rockfill structure composed of two sections: main dam and a dike section which extends from main dam to left abutment. Main dam is 148 in height and there is a 3-foot parapet wall on crest of dam. Concrete chute spillway controlled by three tainter gates is located in right abutment. Small hydroelectric plant, with a capacity of 7.5 kv-a., supplies local power requirements at dam. Reservoir is about 14 miles long, and has a capacity of about 128,000 acre-feet, considering most recent estimate of displacement by sediment. To effect change of Alamogordo Reservoir to exclusive flood-control use, embankment will be raised 10.5 feet and an emergency spillway 500 feet long will be cut through sandstone and shale ridge on the right abutment. Because maximum water surface would be higher under modified condition, 565 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 crest of service spillway will be raised to limit discharge to existing capacity of chute. Tainter gates and piers will be removed. Also needle valves on outlet works will be removed. Modified reservoir will have capacity at spillway crest of 168,100 acrefeet. Area of reservoir at spillway crest will be 5,960 acres. Storage capacity of Alamogordo Reservoir is diminishing annually at rate of about 2,200 acre-feet by sedimentation and if operated under existing conditions will not be capable of supplying the full irrigation demand of Carlsbad Irrigation District for more than 40 years. With reservoir operated exclusively for flood control in combination with Los Esteros Dam, appreciable amount of the sediment from intervening area will be sluiced through, and therefore it is estimated that deposition of sediment will be reduced to an average of about 460 acre-feet annually. With reduced rates of sediment deposition and with proposed modification to the dam and spillway, the Alamagordo Reservoir will be effective for flood control for 100 years. Modifications of Alamogordo Dam already completed by United States Bureau of Reclamation consist of raising dam to required height, modifying service spillway for proper functioning due to increased height of dam, and construction of emergency spillway. Preliminary studies by Corps indicate some minor changes in modified service and emergency spillways may still be necessary to adequately comply with requirements of authorized project for flood control and irrigation. Modifications of dam completed by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have greately increased spillway capacity and will have effect of greatly reducing cost of the project to Corps. Full extent of reduction in cost, however, will not be known until general design studies are completed. Federal cost is $11,550,000 for Los Esteros Dam and Reservoir, and $1,450,000 for modification of Alamogordo Dam including work completed by USBR, a total of $13,000,000. Project is a unit of general comprehensive plan for flood control on Pecos River and tributaries, Tex. and N. Mex., authorized by Flood Control Act of September 3, 1954 (sec. 203, Public Law 780, 83d Cong., 2d sess.). (See H. Doc. No. 339, 84th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps.) Local cooperation. In addition to first costs, operation and maintenance of both reservoirs will be responsibility of Federal Government; however, Carlsbad Irrigation District will be required to contribute to operation and maintenance costs an an- 566 nual amount equal to what they now pay toward Alamogordo Dam. Carlsbad Irrigation District also will be required to agree to use of Alamogordo Reservoir for flood-control purposes, and because they will realize equivalent benefits from storage capacity in Los Esteros Reservoir, they will be required to continue to fulfill their repayment obliga' tion. Project was authorized subject to the provision that -no appropriation shall be made for construction of Los Esteros Reservoir until satisfactory arrangements have been made by the State of New Mexico for the transfer of irrigation storage from the Al1 amogordo Reservoir.-Engineer advisors to Pecos River Compact Commission have completed water studies to determine the effects of project on water supply in Pecos River basin. Corps, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Carlsbad Irrigation District, and engi' neer advisors to Texas and New Mexico comnlis sioners participated in studies. Completed studies have been approved and accepted by Pecos River Compact Commission and State Engineer of New Mexico. Compact Commission has under consideras' tion administration procedures proposed by State Engineer of New Mexico for approval prior to final negotiations with Carlsbad Irrigation District to complete arrangements for the transfer of irriga' tion storage. Operations and results during fiscal year. Precon' struction planning was resumed. General design memorandum was initiated. Foundation investiga' tion contract was awarded in April 1968. Condition at end of fiscal year. Hydrology rerno randum and reservoir and geology report were completed in February 1960 and February 196l1, respectively. General design memorandum is about 11 percent complete. Entire project is about 3 pelr cent complete. 10. RIO GRANDE BASIN, N. MEX. Location. Improvements are on Rio Grande aid tributaries in New Mexico. More definite locatiOns and descriptions of individual projects are in following paragraphs and individual reports by projects. Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1948 autlh rized flood control phase of comprehensive plan e development of water resources of Rio Grande basin in New Mexico (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., sess.) with exception of Chiflo Dam and Reservoi and spillway gate structure at Chamita Darn. Al though recommended Chiflo Dam and Reservol was deleted from authorized plan, it was exclude ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT Without prejudice to future consideration by Congress. It was requested at that time, by States of Colorado and Texas, that project be deferred for restudy regarding 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 ifi accordance with joint agreement approved by Secretary of the Army and Acting Secretary of the Interior on NOvember 21, 1957. In addition, under that agreement Bureau of Reclamation was given responsibility for construction, operation, and maintenance of channel rectification, and drainage rehabilitation and extension phases of unified plan of improvement. Authority for Chamita Dam and Reservoir Was abrogated when Cochiti Dam and Reservoir Was authorized. 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. 1 Oc. 94, 86th Cong., 2d sess.). Flood Control Act of 1948 authorized to be appropriated $3,500,000 to be expended by Department of the Army for partial accomplishment Grande of comprehensive plan for Rio basin. Flood Control Act of 1950 authorized to be appropriated an additional $39 million Arr Work to be prosecuted by Department of the D ny and $30,179,000 for work to be prosecuted by ePartment of the Interior. Flood Control Act of 1960 authorized to be appropriated an additional me8n,3t 00,000 for work to be prosecuted by Depart- of the Army. Flood control projects covered by Comprehensive plan (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st tSaebssl.e, aatn edn dS o. fD cohca. p9te4r, 86th Cong., 2d sess.): (See on existing project.) All Operations and costs for projects in authorized Plan are in individual reports on the following Pages. ABIQUIU RESERVOIR, RIO CHAMA, N. MEX. oCeation. Project is one unit of flood control phase. ecomprehensive plan for Rio Grande and tributarie, N Mexico. Abiquiu Dam is on Rio Chama er town of Abiquiu, N. Mex., about 30 miles 0Pstream from confluence of Rio Chama and Rio prrande. (See Geological Survey Map for plan and 103le of Rio Chama, N. Mex., from mouth to mile e~ sheet 1, and Army Map Service, Aztec, N. 4e; Colorado NJ 13-10, scale 1:250,000.) sting project An earthfill dam 1,540 feet long, rising 325 feet about streambed, with a 12-foot diameter controlled outlet, and an uncontrolled spillway in a natural saddle about 1 mile north of left abutment. Reservoir provides 576,700 acre-feet of flood control and sediment storage. Total capacity at spillway crest is 1,223,100 acre-feet. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 30, 1948, and May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps.) Operation, and results during fiscal year. Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. Regulation of flows by Abiquiu Reservoir was continued in accordance with procedures approved by the Rio Grande Compact Administration. On July 1, 1967, pool elevation was 6,093.92 feet with corresponding storage of 1,265 acre-feet. Sediment regulation continued from end of fiscal year 1967 until November 28, 1967, when reservoir became empty. Reservoir remained empty until February 21, 1968, when sediment regulation was resumed. Sediment regulation continued until May 17, 1968. Because of spring runoff and limited channel capacity below dam, reservoir was regulated for flood control from May 17 until June 28, 1968. During this period releases were limited to about 1,000 c.f.s. On May 28 natural flow at Otowi became less than 1,500 c.f.s.; therefore, inflow to reservoir was passed until end of fiscal year. Maximum reservoir elevation of 6,167.30 feet (storage 54,926 acre-feet) occurred on June 8 and 9, 1968. Pool elevation on June 30, 1968, was 6,152.00 feet and storage was 33,874 acre-feet. By letter dated April 9, 1968, Rio Grande Compact Commissioners for Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas agreed on method of operation for El Vado, Abiquiu, and Jemez Canyon Reservoirs during 1968 runoff season. Approved method of operation was as follows: -Water stored involuntarily, for flood control or for sediment control in El Vado Reservoir, or Abiquiu Reservoir, or Jemez Canyon Reservoir, shall be released to Rio Grande prior to November 1, 1968, whenever natural flow at Otowi is 1,500 c.f.s. or more, provided such releases are limited so as not to cause operation of floodway below San Acacia. Except as otherwise provided therein, releases of water from any of aforesaid reservoirs will be carried out at times and rates established by appropriate legislation or as authorized by Rio Grande Compact Commission.- During year an estimated $74,240 sediment damages were prevented, and accumulated sediment damages prevented by project since completion were $397,240. 567 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Condition at end offiscal year. Project was placed in operation in February 1963. 10B. COCHITI RESERVOIR, N. MEX. Location. Dam is a river mile.340 on Rio Grande (river mile 0 being at intersection of New Mexico- Texas State line with international boundary at El Paso, Tex.), near village of Cochiti, which is about 50 miles upstream from Albuquerque, N. Mex. (See Geological Survey Maps, Cochiti Dam, N. Mex., Quadrangle and Santo Domingo Pueblo, N. Mex., quadrangle, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. Consists of an earthfill dam about 5.1 miles long with a maximum height of 251 feet above streambed. Project will extend generally in an east-west line across Rio Grande to a point about 2 miles east of Rio Grande and then southward across Sante Fe River. An uncontrolled spillway with a 460-foot-long ogee-weir and a 160-foot notch 10 feet deep in center will be at end of embankment on south side of Santa Fe River. Operational releases for flood control and irrigation will be made through a 3-barrel gated conduit in left abutment on Rio Grande. No outlet will be provided on Santa Fe River. Dead storage in Santa Fe River and Canada de Cochiti arms of reservoir will be eliminated by means of conveyance channels. Construction will also involve relocation of a gravel-surfaced Forest Service road and an irrigation headworks and canal. Reservoir will have a storage capacity of 442,000 acre-feet for flood control, 110,000 acre-feet for sediment, and 50,000 acre-feet for recreation a total of 602,000 acre-feet. Storage capacity for permanent pool for recreation will be provided by slightly modifying the operating procedures. Modification of project structures, except for specific recreation facilities, will not be necessary because of permanent pool. Estimated Federal cost is $58,200,000. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1960 in lieu of authorized Low Chamita Dam of Chamita Reservoir -substitute plan-(S. Doc. 94, 86th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps). Existing project authorization was modified by Public Law 88-293 to provide for conservation and development of fish and wildlife resources and for recreation, about 50,000 acre-feet of water for initial filling of a permanent pool of 1,200 surface acres in the reservoir, and thereafter sufficient water annually to offset evaporation from such area. Operations and results during fiscal year. Design memorandum on embankment and conveyance channels was completed. Plans and specifications for embankment and conveyance channels, Phase 1; road relocation, Phase 2; utilities and structures; overlook facilities and parking area were initiated. Construction of spillway, except for inlet and outlet portions, was completed. Construction of outlet works (portion), relocation of portions of irrigation structures and utilities, and of N. Mex. Highway 22 was continued. Conditions at end of fiscal year. Project planning is about 90 percent complete. Construction of access road, operations building, and spillway (portion) are complete. Construction of outlet works (por, tion), relocation of portions of irrigation structures and utilities, and of N. Mex. Highway 22 is about 32 percent complete. Entire project is about 18 percent complete. 10C. GALISTEO RESERVOIR, N. MEX. Location. Dam is at river mile 12 on Galisteo Creek, a tributary of Rio Grande. Definite project site is about 8 miles upstream of project documeot site. Reservoir will extend upstream from dam fer about 4 miles to near village of Waldo, N. Mex.

An earthfill dam 780 feet long With a maximum height of 136 feet above streambed, an off-channel uncontrolled saddle spillway 400 feet wide, and a 13-foot diameter gated outlet in left abutment with discharge capacity of 8,100 cubic feet per second with pool at spillway crest elevation. Reservoir has a capacity of 117,213 acrefeet (73,000 acre-feet for flood control and 44,213 acre-feet for sediment control, in which 4,914 acrefeet of sediment have been deposited.) It is estimated that 70,000 acre-feet of storage will be available in the reservoir for flood control after 50 years of project life. Federal cost was $4,177,417. project was Existing authorized by Flood Control Acts of 1948 and 1950. Operations and results during fiscal year. Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. Reservoir Was empty at start of fiscal year. Reservoir was regulated for sediment control for Short periods during July, August, and September and for flood control on September 6 and 7, 1967. Peak inflow of about 18,000 c.f.s. occurred on Sepember 7, 1967, inducing a storage of 1,448 acrefeet on September 7, 1967. Reservoir remained empty from September 8, 1967, until March 10, due, when regulation for sediment control began trl to spring runoff. Regulation for sediment concontinued until June 6, 1968. Reservoir re- Maied empty from then until end of fiscal year. 5 amum pool elevation for fiscal year 1968 of a,154.05 feet with corresponding storage of 2,019 acre.feetoccurred on May 13, 1968.

Construction of 1954ect was initiated May 1950 and completed May 10E. RIO GRANDE FLOODWAY, N. MEX. of ation. Project is one unit of flood control phase G raomprehensive plan of improvement for Rio "de Basin in New Mexico. It is on Rio Grande and covers section of river commencing near Truth or Consequences (formerly Hot Springs) at about river mile 123 and extends upstream to lower end of Rio Grande Canyon about 14 miles upstream from Espanola, N. Mex., about river mile 394. (See table which follows.) Existing project. Consists of flood protection and major drainage improvements by channel rectification, levee enlargement and construction, and bank stabilization work where needed to protect levees. Construction of project is a joint undertaking by Bureau of Reclaimation and the Corps. Portions to be done by Corps will consist of levee enlargement, construction, and bank protection work, with channel- rectification and drainage-rehabilitation work the responsibility of Bureau of Reclamation. Levees constructed by local interests exist through reach of river involved, but are not uniform as to grade, section, or standard of construction, and in many places are threatened by meandering river. (See table at end of chapter on existing project.) Project was authorized by Flood Control Acts of June 30, 1948, and May 17, 1950 (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published maps). Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests are responsible for all highway, bridge, and public utility relocations or replacements required in construction of project. Fully complied with for completed units of floodway. 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. Espanola Valley unit was inactive for several years; however, in December 1963, local interests reaffirmed need for flood protection for city of Espanola, and indicated in writing that they were willing and able to provide necessary rights-of-way for levees and make utility relocations required in construction of project. Project was reclassified to active category, and funds were appropriated for initiation of preconstruction planning in fiscal year 1966. Progress on this project has been slow because the local sponsor was extremely dilatory in meeting the request for rights-of-entry in order to perform surveys. Rightof- entry was finally obtained on May 15, 1967, from the Indian Pueblo of Santa Clara which is the principal landowner affected by the project. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning for the Espanola Valley unit of the floodway was continued. District completed field survey work. General design memorandum studies 569 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 were initiated and completed, but have not been approved. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by the floodway project through fiscal year 1968 amounted to $720,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of Albuquerque and Cochiti to Rio Puerco units of Rio Grande Floodways project is complete. San Acacia to Bosque del Apache and Truth or Consequences (Hot Springs) units of floodway are deferred for restudy. Hydrology design memorandum for Espanola Valley unit has been approved. General design memorandum studies for the Espanola Valley unit have been completed but not approved. Preconstruction planning is about 85 percent complete. 11. TRINIDAD RESERVOIR, PURGATOIRE RIVER, COLO. Location. On Purgatoire River about 161 miles above its junction with Arkansas River. Project is about 4 miles upstream from city of Trinidad, Colo. (See Geological Survey Map, Trinidad, 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 4,850 cubic feet per second with water surface 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 acrefeet 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 $23,400,000. Existing project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1958 (H. Doc. 325, 84th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps). An earlier authorization in Flood Control Act of 1944 (H. Doc. 387, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) provided flood protection for city of Trinidad by means of channel improvement. Authorization for Trinidad Reservoir project provides for abrogation of channel project at time of initiation of construction of Trinidad Dam. Flood Control Act of 1965 relieved city of Trinidad of responsibility for cash contribution toward cost of constructing project. Local cooperation. Requirements based on approved general design memorandum studies: Repayment by Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District of first cost allocated to irrigation established as 29.28 percent of total prject cost presently estimated at $6,850,000 (1968 prices) generally in accordance with Federal reclamation law procedures, except that repayment of irrigation first cost may extend over a period not to exceed 75 years including a 5-year development period which results in an actaul amortization period of 70 years; contr ' bution of $21,400 annually by State of Colorado for replacement of evaporation and seepage losses from permanent fishery pool; Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District (representing the irr'i gators) is required to bear 19.82 percent of annual joint-use operation and maintenance costs and 2.52 percent of major replacement costs presently esti* mated at $13,600 annually; in addition, estimated annual cost to city of Trinidad for maintenance of channel of Purgatoire River through city is $1,100. In addition conservancy district must make arrangements for transfer of Model Land and Irrigati0o Co.'s storage rights from existing Model Reservoir to Trinidad Reservoir. Storage for recreation pur poses not included in authorized project plan; how' ever, project document noted that substantial benefits would be derived from such use and that there was strong local support for such storage. ProvisiOn was made in project plan for 4,500 acre-feet of permanent storage for recreation; however, since flows of Purgatoire River are fully appropriated' water rights will have to be acquired by non-Fed* eral interests. Estimated cost of initial filling of pool is $250,000 and replacement of evaporation losses will cost an estimated $21,400 per year. Lands and facilities for recreation will be provided at Federal expense, but cost of water rights will be borne bY the State of Colorado. Assurances of local cooperation received from City of Trinidad and Purgatoire River Water Conser" ancy District were formally accepted May 11, 1961, after execution of irrigation repayment contract Stipulated decree changing place of storage of Water rights decreed to existing Model Reservoir froo that reservoir to proposed Trinidad Reservoir WaS conditionally approved by Las Animas County, CCoo1llorado, District Court April 15, 1965, subject o ultimate execution and approval of irrigation r payment contract, which qualifying condition i now removed. Purgatoire River Water Conseratt District, representing water users, signed prime i rr gation repayment contract January 21, 1967. Prile contract was then signed by Regional Director Region 7, Bureau of Reclamation February 10, 1967, under delegated authority of U. S. Depart 570 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT rnent of Interior. Contract is dated February 10, 1967. Irrigation repayment contract was confirmed by decree of Las Animas County, Colorado, District Court entered into March 21, 1967, and 30-day period of appeal required by Colorado statutes expired with no appeals being filed. Operations and results during fiscal year. Acquisition of lands for construction of outlet works was Completed and acquisition of additional real estate Was continued. Construction of outlet works was initiated. Cemetery relocation plan was completed. Preparation of plans and specifications on reloca- tion of county road was continued. Condition at end offiscal year. Construction of outlet Works is about 1 percent complete. Acquisition of land for project is about 40 percent Entire project complete. is about 12 percent complete. 12 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 Ruidoso and Rio Bonito, near Village of Hondo, N. Mex., in foothills region of Sierra Blanca in southeastern part of Lincoln County, N. Mex., and flows 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- arn on Rio Hondo at about river mile 36 and Rocky Dam on Rocky Arroyo at about river mile 14, Which will form Two Rivers Reservoir. Dianmond -A-Dam is 98 feet high and 4,918 feet long lon Rocky Dam is 118 feet high and 2,920 feet Sng. Topography of site permits use of two natural Saddles in limestone on rim of reservoir for spill- ways Which have a total length of 1,130 feet. One of the pillway saddles in between the dams and one is south of Rocky Dam. There is a gated outlet works Strucure in Diamond -A-Dam and an uncontrolled Outlet in Rocky Dam. No provision is made for orage except for flood control. Flood releases will th controlled insofar as possible, so that flows tnough Roswell will not exceed channel capacity of Cao Hondo, which is 1,000 cubic feet per second. Sapacity of Two Rivers Reservoir at spillway crest s 168,000 acre-feet, of which 18,000 acre-feet are Provided for sedimentation reserve, but which will Uteili zed for flood control until filled with sedirent. Darn controls 963 square miles of drainage rea on Rio Hondo and 64 square miles on Rocky aoyo, a total of 1,027 square miles. Federal cost Was $4,790,838. 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 1938 (H. Doc. 436, 83d Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published maps). Existing project was authorized by 1954 Flood Control Act. Local cooperation. Complied with. Total cost to local intersts was $144,000, of which $60,000 was for construction of access road and $84,000 for lands and rights-of-way. Operations and results during fiscal year. Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. Reservoir was empty July 1, 1967. Reservoir was regulated for flood controls during periods August 10-11, August 20-21 and September 20, 1967. Pool at Diamond -A-Dam had maximum elevation of 3,977.70 feet, with corresponding storage of 357 acre-feet. Rocky Dam had a maximum pool elevation of 3,954.37 feet, with corresponding storage of 624 acre-feet. Reservoir was empty June 30, 1968. During 1967 an estimated 15,400 flood damages were prevented by project. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented through fiscal year 1967 were $683,400. Conditon at end of fiscal year Project is complete and was placed in operation July 1963. 13. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Included under this heading is inspection of completed flood control projects tranferred to local interest for operation and maintenance. Projects in Colorado and New Mexico were inspected. Fiscal year cost was $6,301 and total cost to June 30, 1968, was $30,732. 14. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Pursuant to section 7, Flood Control Act of 1944, expenditures were made for scheduling flood control reservoir operations and preparation of reservoir regulation manual for Platoro Dam 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 in fiscal year 1952. Reservoir elevation at start of fiscal year was 9,946.5 feet with corresponding storage of 4,200 acre-feet. Reservoir was held static, and inflow was passed until November 1, 1967. Stored water was 571 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 released from November 1 through November 3, 1967, at which time reservoir elevation was 9,942.4 feet with corresponding storage of 3,000 acre-feet. Storage of approximately 3,000 acre-feet was maintained during the winter. In May 1968 spring runoff raised reservoir elevation to 9,946.5 feet (storage 4,200 acre-feet). Flood control regulation was begun in June 1968 which raised reservoir elevation to 9,965.9 with corresponding storage of 11,300 acrefeet. Storage in reservoir was maintained at that amount until end of fiscal year. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1967 were $629,000.

Waterway will be canalized throughout its length by construction of 17 locks and dams. Dardanelle, Ozark, Robert S. Kerr and Webbers Falls are multiple-purpose projects including power. Lock chambers are 110 by 600 feet. A minimum channel width of 150 feet is proposed for Verdigris River and 250 feet for Arkansas and White Rivers. Other coordinated developments consist of 15 reservoirs, of which 13 are in Tulsa District, Kansas and Oklahoma, and 2 in Little Rock District. Pertinent data and estimated Federal cost are summarized in tables on navigation and reservoirs at end of chapter. (Also see table on history of authorization for Arkansas River Basin plan.) Local cooperation. For navigation local interests must provide adequate terminal and transfer facilities and bear increased cost of maintenance and operation of all altered rail and highway routes, including bridges and appurtenances, utilities, and other existing improvements, other than Federally owned. For reservoirs see requirements for each individual reservoir. Terminal facilities. Port authorities have been organized to develop facilities in Oklahoma for Tulsa and Rogers Counties, Muskogee, and down stream from Muskogee. Port authorities have been organized in Arkansas to develop facilities for Van Buren, Clarksville, Dardanelle, Russellville, Morrilton, Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Pine Bluff and Jefferson County.

Local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way required, including rightsof- way for ponding of interior drainage, provisions for all new highway and road bridges or alterations of existing bridges and approaches made necessary 679 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 by project; relocation or modification of existing utility lines and systems; and removal of all buildings and improvements within right-of-way limits. No obligation of Federal funds shall be incurred for cost of this project where flood control benefits are exclusively for local flood control, as determined by Secretary of the Army (except costs of planning, design, and acquisition of water rights), unless the State or one or more other non-Federal entities shall have entered into an agreement in advance to assume at least 20 percent of cost (except costs of planning, design, and acquisition of water rights) of completed project allocated to production of local flood control benefits, payable either as construction proceeds, or pursuant to a contract providing for repayment with interest within 50 years. Actual cost, or fair market value of lands, easements, rights-of-way, and work performed or services rendered prior to completion or construction of project, which are furnished by a non-Federal entity, shall be included in share of cost to be borne by non- Federal entity. Chief of Engineers considers that, in arriving at amount which local interests should contribute to meet 20-percent requirement, they should be credited with estimated value at time of Federal construction, of work which they have performed since project plan was presented to and accepted by local interests, and which will contribute directly to production of local flood control benefits related to project. Local interests must also operate and maintain project after construction. On October 26, 1961, a meeting was held by local interests to initiate formation of Lower Vermillion Watershed District as legal entity to furnish local cooperation for project. A court order in April 1964 declared a deficiency in the petition to organize the district which required a new start in the organizational procedures. Local interests refiled petitions to organize the district which was defeated in referendum election in August 1967 by the landowners in the area. Operations and results during fiscal year. Due to the lack of local cooperation, the project was reclassified -inactive-on 12 December 1967. Local interests were informed that the project authorization would expire five years from 3 January 1968, unless prior to that time they could provide the required assurances of local cooperation. Condition at end of fiscal year. General design studies were essentially completed. Project reclassified -inactive.- 34. WATERLOO, NEBR. Location.

Navigation system of 31 locks and dams is in 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 contraction works. (See -Open-channel work, Ohio River.-) Table A under -Existing projectshows cost and year of completion of locks and dams now in operation. Existing project does not provide adequate facilities for present-day navigation due to obsolescence of structures. Since repair and modernization of these facilities would lie extremely costly, replacement and reconstruction is being accomplished as rapidly as funds are made available for the purpose. Construction of lock and dam replacement program was initiated in fiscal year 1955. New Cumberland, Pike Island, Greendp, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, and McAlpine replacement locks and dams are complete. These together with Belleville locks and dam nearing completion have replaced 20 old low-lift locks 695 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 and dams. Construction of Hannibal locks and dam to replace locks and dams 12, 13 and 14 was initiated in fiscal year 1966; Belleville locks and dam to replace locks and dams 18, 19, and 20 was initiated in fiscal year 1962; Racine locks and dam to replace locks and dams 21, 22 and 23 was initiated in fiscal year 1964; Cannelton locks and dam to replace locks and dams 43, 44 and 45 was initiated in fiscal year 1962; Newburgh locks and dam to replace locks and dams 46 and 47 and Uniontown locks and dam to replace locks and dams 48 and 49 were initiated in fiscal year 1965. For total cost of existing project, see appropriate table. 2. OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Under jurisdiction of District Engineer in whose district the work is located. For information as to limits of the three districts on Ohio River, see page . 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.). Openchannel improvement from mouth of Cache River to mouth of Ohio River is under jurisdiction of Mississippi River Commission. Existing project. Before 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 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 necessary to remove points of projecting bars which formed at various locations along river. Accomplishment of this purpose involved concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, contraction and straightening wide, open channels by low dikes, dredging bars and shoals, and removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to direct improvement of Ohio River is construction and maintenance of ice piers as required for protection of river craft. Stage of extreme high water on Ohio River varies from 46 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). Estimated cost of new work (1960) is $16,160,000, exclusive of following items which are considered inactive: Ice piers authorized by 1927 River and Harbor Act; reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., authorized by 1930 River and Harbor Act; dredging to widen channel at certain points; and placing revetment at various point Estimated cost of these items (1954) is $6,565,000 Operation of snag boats on Ohio River below Pe" sylvania State line was included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropria* tions Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. See table fio authorizing legislation. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of JanI1 ary 21, 1927, authorizing construction of ice piePr for general open-channel work, imposes conditio that before work is begun on any pier, local inter' ests convey to the United States free of cost su riparian rights as may be deemed necessary connection with the improvement at locality. er Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.). Existing ice P' are adequate for present purposes and local cooper ation is not needed since no additional construe lo is under consideration. River and Harbor Act be July 3, 1930, provides that no expense shala s incurred by the United States for acquiring required for purpose of this improvement (H. ious 409, 69th Cong., 1st sess.). However, since no seri"u overbank erosion has occurred since bank reed ment in 1933-34, reforestation is not consideris justifiable at this time and no local cooperation required. Terminal facilities. See page . -atioo Operations and results during fiscal year. Ope re and maintenance, general: Dredging, whereabl quired to provide an adequate and dependldichannel of project depth at minimum pool co tions, was executed. Dike and revetments ._o tained and routine work of maintaining navigate aids, removing snags, making channel studies, " drographic surveys and mapping was perform s, required. Channel soundings, hydrographic sa d stream gaging operations, channel inspectionstions aids to navigation, and miscellaneous inspec ab and reports cost $327,411. Dredging by hired lard as follows: Huntington District 23,320 cubic ybi at $49,130 and Louisville District, 1,599,4 35 asc yards at $351,876. Rehabilitation. A contract awarded late in the fiscal year for revetment ear to the Kentucky Peninsula. Costs during the Y were $4,648. r tiS Condition at end offiscalyear. New work under t project is substantially complete, since it is ect anticipated that work on inactive portion of P oal will be accomplished. In addition to dredging stabilization of channel has been effected atyBe points by construction of dikes and r ,evet Work which remains consists of dredging to r of channel at certain points to project depth Rep i the Kentucky Peninsula was underway. 696 OHIO RIVER COST AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT Total to PSreocjteicotn 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 June 30, 1968 1.

All other tables are referenced in text and also appear end of this chapter. 703 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 Nashville, and lock 1, above Nashville. (See H. Doc. 761, 79th Cong., 2d sess.) In addition to supplemental authority granted in Public Law 396, 82d Congress, which provided construction of hydroelectric power-generating facilities at Cheatham Dam, river mile 148.7, River and Harbor Act of 1954 authorized further modification of project for navigation on Cumberland River, Tenn. and Ky., to provide, in lieu of previously authorized works at Kuttawa, mile 32.2, and Dover, mile 100.1, for construction of a multiple-purpose improvement for navigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power consisting of a dam, lock, and powerplant near mile 30.6 on lower Cumberland River and a canal for navigation and other purposes connecting proposed reservoir with reservoir formed by Kentucky Dam on the Tennessee River. Public Law 537, 84th Congress, provided that the dam 'to be constructed on lower Cumberland River, Ky., authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1954, and the reservoir to be formed by waters impounded by such dam, should thereafter be known as Barkley Dam and Lake Barkley, respectively. Provision of interconnecting canal, involving excavation of a channel through narrow watershed divide about 2.5 miles upstream from damsite, will make alternative routes available for navigation between either Cumberland or Tennessee Rivers and Ohio River, and will afford integrated operation of Barkley and Kentucky Reservoirs through diversion of flows in interests of flood control and power production. Estimated cost of modified project for 9-foot navigation and multiple-purpose development is $174,467,- 300 (July 1968). (See table at end of chapter on principal features of works of improvement.) 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 55 feet above minimum pool levels. Ordinary fluctuations 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 7 feet at Nashville. Seasonal variation in normal headwater levels at Barkley Dam is 5 feet, which in combination with power flows produces fluctuations up to 10 feet 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 I to 17 and 21 to secure 6-foot navigation at low water from Nashville (lock and dam 1, 188.4 miles above mouth) to Waitsboro Shoals (324.6 miles), and 4-foot navigation from Waitsboro Shoals to Burnside (3 miles); provision also being made for periodic removal of snags and similar obstructions from Nashville (lock and dam 1) to 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 Commit tee 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 o crest wickets was completed in October 1931. Pro' posed locks and dams 16 and 17 were eliminated from project upon authorization of Lake Cumber' land (Wolf Creek Reservoir), construction of Which has also resulted in permanent inundation of lock and dam 21. Further consideration of previously projected locks and dams 9 through 15, inclusive, is precluded under existing project as modified by River and Harbor Act of 1946, prosecution of which resulted in replacing locks and dams 1 through ~i and will eliminate lock and dam 8. For statistica dasa concerning lock and dam 8, placed in'an inoperative status in 1951, see page 1694 of Annua Report for 1950; together with details on locks and dams I to 7 and 21, displaced, and other structur originally contemplated under project (pp. 1694 an 1695). River and Harbor Act of 1946 also authO' rized, in addition to further improvement for nave gation between mouth and Nashville, constructi� of Old Hickory, Carthage, and Celina Dams above Nashville for navigation and power. Public Lawo d -843, provided that dam and reservoir authorize for construction on Cumberland River near ard thage, Tenn., be known as Cordell Hull Dam al Reservoir. Cost of Old Hickory and Cordell aS projects, including locks, is estimatedel $114,550,700 (July 1968). Estimated cost of Cl Dam (1959) is $39,100,000. (See table at end chapter on principal features of authorizedd rreset* voir units.)

Acquisition of title to all private properties needed for the Barkley project was completed. Costs for new work were $1,472,569. Above Nashville: Under the Old Hickory project, continuing contract for installation of an electrical distribution system on the right bank was completed, as were operations for paving four publicuse areas contracted during year. Contracts for following items incident to construction of the Cordell Hull project were completed: Channel dredging below lock; warehouse and storage area for Government- furnished equipment; relocation of Tri- County Electric Membership Corp. facilities; and Southern Bell telephone lines. Work continued under contract for second-stage powerhouse cofferdam. In addition to cost-reimbursable contract previously awarded State of Tennessee for relocation and adjustment of roadway facilities, operations were commenced under relocation contracts awarded covering power and telephone lines of Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corp. and North Central Telephone Cooperative Corp., respectively. Operations were also commenced under contract for road and bridge relocations in Smith County portion of reservoir. Work continued under supply contracts for 3 -58,200 hp turbines and 3 - 37,037 kva generators, and was initiated under contract for 3 -42,700 kva transformers. Definite design studies on other project features and preparation of plans and specifications were accomplished by hired labor. Acquired 3,666 acres of project lands. Costs for new work were $7,072,311. Operation and maintenance: Barkley, Cheatham, and Old Hickory locks were operated as required. Maintenance and improvement operations included unwatering and repairs to filling and emptying valves at Cheatham; and cleaning and painting Old Hickory lock gates. Temporary maintenance is being performed as necessary at Cordell Hull lock pending placement in permanent operation. Operation of powerplants was continuous except for normal interruptions and necessary shutdowns for inspection and maintenance purposes. Total net energy generated at Barkely Dam (812,728,000 kw-hr), Cheatham Dam (172,309,000 kw-hr), and Old Hickory Dam (637,265,000 kw-hr) was made available through Department of the Interior to Tennessee Valley Authority for distribution. Power revenues were $2,372,000, $922,000 and $1,657,000 respectively. Benefits attributable to Barkley effect in reduction of floodflows on lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers during year are estimated as $470,000. Activ- 705 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 ities under reservoir management program comprising malaria control, shoreline, sanitation, land management and disposal, and maintenance of public-use facilities 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, completed under 6-foot navigation project for this section of river had been replaced by Barkley and Cheatham locks and dams. 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 98 percent complete. Construction of Cheatham lock and dam was completed in November 1960. See page 1078 of 1962 Annual Report for chronology of construction. Under authority for provision of additional recreational facilities at completed projects to meet increased public-use demands, 11 boat launching ramps have been graded and paved and the following installed: 100 picnic and camping units and 4 shelters; 56 grills; and 12 comfort stations. Proposed additional recreational facility construction remains for accomplishment under Cheatham project. Work under contracts for dredging below Barkley dam and for right bank site improvements is about 15 and 7 percent complete, respectively. Barkley project as a whole is about 98 percent complete and in full operation. Lock was opened to navigation on July 8, 1964. The four power units were placed in commercial operation January 21, February 4, March 7, and March 30, 1966. Total new work costs for this section to June 30, 1968, were $176,792,029, including $685,000 public works funds. Above Nashville: Prior to modification of existing project for this section of river in 1946, locks and dams I to 8, inclusive, and 21 had been completed; initiation of work on lock and dam 1 in September 1888 marking commencement of construction under 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 ) which also eliminated projected locks and dams 16 and 17. Lock and dam I was demolished in connection with construction of Cheatham project below Nashville. Locks and dams 2 through 7 have been inundated by Old Hickory Reservoir. Old Hickory project provides a through channel for 9-foot navigation on Cumberland above Nashville to vicinity of Carthage, Tenn., at river mile 308, present head of navigation.

Lower reaches of \Ildnels of the two tributary creeks would be l01ened to a minimum of 36 feet for 1,300 and 1 feet, respectively. Incidental work includes riprapping of channel cut slopes and banks, new bridge construction and pier modifications, strengthening certain existing retaining walls and building foundations, and relocations involving telephone and power lines, sewers, and water mains. Works are designed to provide a reasonable degree of protection, resulting in prevention of about 95 percent of experienced average annual flood losses. Project was authorized by 1950 Flood Control Act. Estimated cost of new work (July 1968) is $530,000 for construction, Federal; and $240,000 for lands and damages, non-Federal. Local cooperation. Project was originally planned for partial protection by channel clearing and cleaning, and carried in an inactive status following performance of major portion of work by local interests without expense to the Government. Recent study indicated economic feasibility of more extensive improvement as now contemplated, which can properly be done within discretionary authority ot Chief of Engineers under existing project authorization. In accordance with this authorization, provisions of 1936 Flood Control Act as amended, apply; and local interests also shall prescribe and enforce regulations to prevent encroachment upon stream channel after construction of project. Assurances were furnished in form of a resolution. of city council accompanying a letter of Mayor of Cumberland, Ky., dated September 7, 1962. Bond issue for financing city's share of project costs approved in regular general election November 5, 1963. City was furnished lands requirements and has developed preliminary ownership data. No further action is expected pending completion of negotiations by local interests for required bridge construction and utility relocations and ability of city to meet the now indicated costs is known.

Designed to prevent about 90 per cent of expected average annual damages, project was authorized for construction by Chief of Engineers under authority of Section 205, Flood Control Act of 1948, as amended. Enlargement of existing channel of Clover Fork to an 80-foot bottom width, with I on 2 side slopes, would begin approximately 1,000 feet below the bridge at community of Kildav and extend some 10,950 feet upstream to a point 800 feet above the confluence of Bailey Creek. The improved channel of Yocum Creek would have a bottom width of 80 feet, with 1 on 2 side slopes, from the mouth upstream through Kentucky Highway 38 bridge, narrowing to 40 feet within a 200-foot transition above the bridge, and continuing at the latter width for an overall length of 9,400 feet. Incidental construction consists of riprapping for slope protection in critical areas, modification of three bridges to replace existing crib-type pier in each instance with concrete, and adjustment of Evarts' water intake and supply lines to project conditions. Estimated cost of new work (October 1965) is $235,000 for construction, Federal; and $12,000 for lands and damages, non-Federal. Local cooperation. Provisions of Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, pertaining to ordinary conditions of cooperation with respect to lands and damages, relocations, and maintenance of works of improvement apply, and local interests also shall prescribe and enforce regulations to prevent encroachment upon improved stream channel. Assurances of compliance with conditions of local participation were furnished by letter of the Mayor dated October 29, 1944. Operations and results during fiscal year. Subsequent to adoption of above described plan of improvement, needs for more extensive slope protection were indicated, resulting in increased project costs beyond limit of economic feasibility. Studies were completed near end of fiscal year incident to development of a justified project of lesser scope which was submitted for approval. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Dam planned at mile 14.8 on Martins Fork of Clover Fork, Cumberland River, about 8 miles southeast of city of Harlan, with reservoir extending about 5 miles upstream within Harlan County, southeastern Kentucky. Existing project. Multiple-purpose improvement combining flood control with water quality control and recreation development, adopted by 1965 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 244, 89th Cong.), in gener accordance with recommendations. Dam will be earthfill type, about 730 feet long and rising 103 feet above streambed, with uncontrolled side.chan' nel spillway 400 feet wide cut into rock. Outlet works provide for release of water from reservoir at varying levels. Drainage area above damsite is 56,1 square miles. At full pool level, spillway crest at elevation 1338 above mean sea level, reservoir W cover 675 acres and contain 21,800 acre-feet storage capacity. Provision is made for 18,100 acre" feet of reservoir capacity between elevations 1338 and 1300 for control of floods in winter and spring season, and 14,800 acre-feet (El. 1338-1310) during summer and fall, in conjunction with which storagl of 3,300 acre-feet would be avilable on a seasonal basis to meet streamflow requirements for water quality control and fish life below the dam. A mini" mum permanent pool of 3,700 acre-feet, 270 acres in extent, will thus be provided during p0otertr flood seasons; and during late spring and sum be when flood storage can be reduced, the lake isto be operated generally at a higher level (El. 1310) t maintain a larger surface area of 380 acres l recreation and to provide the required seasna storage for releases of water during critical low-' periods. Project will prevent major portion of aver age annual flood losses at Harlan and result it significant stage reductions with related benefits along rural reaches and at other urban areas down stream. Estimated cost of project, including planne initial recreation development, is $5,450,000 (Jo~ 1968), of which $263,000 is subject to reimburse ment by local interests. Local cooperation. Federal Water Project Rec 1 tion Act of 1965 applies with regard to non-.Federa participation in recreation development, in addison to which local interests are to provide certain sa0l guards to ensure functioning of reservoir asil tended. Presently estimated cost to non-Federal in' terests for participation in provisions for redeation as now envisioned for reasonably complete deacto, ment of that purpose is $390,800 for constr ance, and $35,000 annually for operation, maint eatio and major replacements related to the rece function. Annual costs of $23,000 and reirnbs to ment of $263,000 in project first costs allocate re recreation and fish and wildlife enhancemensiil" estimated as representing non-Federal responsent ity based on planned level of initial develop 710 NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT for these purposes. Flexibility in size and responsibility of recreation development is accorded under Recreation Act, depending upon intentions of non- Federal interests to cooperate; project authorization also provides that required local participation in the recreational feature may be modified to conform With standards established pursuant to studies by Appalachian Regional Commission.

Existing project. Six locks and dams on Green River and one on barren River to give, with channel work in pools of dams, a navigable depth of 9 feet and width of 200 feet from Ohio River to mile 103 Green River, 3.2 miles upstream from Paradise, Ky.; a navigable depth of 5.5 feet from mile 103 Green River to Mammoth Cave, Ky., mile 197.8 Green River, and from mouth of Barren River mile 149.5 Green River, to Bowling Green, Ky., mile 30.1 Barren River. (See table at end of chapter for principal data concerning locks and dams.) Fluctuations in stage vary considerably at different locks. At lock 3, Green River, ordinary high stages are from 12 to 15 feet above pool level, and at lock 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. Maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock 1, Barren River, obtained during floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively, above pool level, and at lock 1, Barren River, from 7 to 10 feet above pool. Maximum stages of record are 34 feet above normal pool stage at lock 3, Green River, and 29 feet at lock 1, Barren River, obtained during floods of 1937 and 1913, respectively. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Considered adequate for existing commerce. (See table on terminal facilities at end of chapter.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Consisted of operation and maintenance of locks and dams, 1 to 3, Green River, maintenance of lock 4, Green: River and lock and dam 1, Barren River, and removal of shoals, snags, and slides as required to maintain adequate channel for existing traffic between mouth of Green River and dam 4 at mile 149, Green River. Condition at end of fiscal year. Locks and dams 1 and 2, Green River, and lock and dam 1, Barren River, were in good condition. Lock and dam 3 and lock 4, Green River were in poor condition. Dam 4, Green River, failed May 24, 1965, when 120 feet washed out. Breach has later widened, and repairs are deferred pending completion of survey report for navigation on Green River. Pool of dam 1, Barren River, is maintained for local small boat use, but navigation through lock is suspended because of loss of lower pool. Operation of locks 5 and 6, Green River, was discontinued August 1951, as they were no longer used by river traffic. Control ling project depth in lower 103 miles of Green River is 9 feet; controlling depth from mile 103 to Bowling Green, Ky. is 5.5 feet. Under permit issued by District Engineer on August 20, 1963, private interests dredged channel of Green River to extend 9-foot depth to coal loading terminal at mile 105.7. Channel of Green River from mouth of Barren River at mile 149.5 to Mammoth Cave, Ky., at mile 197.8, is no longer maintained and is blocked by deactivated locks and dams 5 and 6. 3.

AND W. VA. Lpocation. Formed by junction of Tygart and West V'K Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. tio and flows northerly for 128.7 miles to its junc- !j, .vith Allegheny River, forming Ohio River at tburgh, Pa. (See Geological Survey Charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous projects. For details see Annual Report for 1963, page 1070. Existing project. Provides for improvement of river by 9 locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its entire length from Pittsburgh to above Fairmont, W. Va. Original locks and dams 7, 8 and 9 were replaced by new locks and dam 7 and 8 in 1925. Increased traffic necessitated enlargement and improvement of locks and dams 1 to 6 between Pittsburgh and Rices Landing, Pa., by building two parallel chambers and fixed concrete dams during 1905 to 1932. Locks and dam 1 were eliminated in 1938 by raising Emsworth Dam, Ohio River. Reconstruction of lock 2 was completed in 1953 to provide two modern navigation chambers. Construction of Maxwell locks and dam which is now complete, together with the raising of dam 4, has allowed for removal of obsolete locks and dams 5 and 6. Small and antiquated original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, have been replaced by three modern structures. Morgantown lock and dam, initial step in replacement program, was completed in 1950 replacing locks and dams 10 and 11. Hildebrand lock and dam, next upstream, was completed in 1959 replacing locks and dams 12 and 13. Raising crest dam 8 was also completed in 1959 as part of upper river improvement and eliminates restricted depth in upper reach of pool. Opekiska lock and dam, the final step in the replacement program, was completed in 1967 replacing locks and dams 14 and 15. Completion of this final link in upper river replacement program provides for entire river length of minimum channel depth of 9 feet, varying in width from a minimum of 250 feet to practically full width at mouth. Estimated cost for new work (1968), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects is $122,400,000. (See tables at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project and locks and dams on Monongahela River, Pa. and W. Va.) Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. City of Pittsburgh constructed a modern wharf for freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. These terminals and docks are not available for general commerce. A number of docks and pipe- 789 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 lines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products.

Heavy rainfall on May 11-12, 1968 and again on May 27-28 caused two major rises on Mahoning River during which this reservoir achieved significant reductions at Warren. For this storm and flood, crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir for the two rises at Warren were 1.2 feet and 1.7 feet, respectively. Crest stages for the two rises at Warren were 5.3 feet and 5.4 feet, respectively. Flood stage at Warren is 7.0 feet. Estimated flood control benefits within Pittsburgh District achieved by this reservoir for fiscal year were $2,134,400. Total flood control benefits within Pittsburgh District to June 30, 1968 are $80,387,900. Regulated flows at Leavittsburg, Ohio, in conjunction with West Branch, Mahoning River Reservoir during the periods July 1,1967 to October 31, 1967 and June 19-30, 1968, averaged 234 cubic feet per second representing 271 percent of natural low flows. Thus, this reservoir in conjunction with West Branch, Mahoning River Reservoir, achieved significant benefits from low flow augmentation for populated areas using upper Mahoning River; and, in conjunction with Mosquito Creek Reservoir, achieved significant benefits along highly industrialized Mahoning River below Niles, Ohio. Water supply diversion from this reservoir by Mahoning Valley Sanitary District for domestic consumption was made under contract demands of 11.5 million gallons per day for fiscal year. Total withdrawal for fiscal year was 2.230 billion gallons or 6,845 acrefeet. Maximum elevation attained during fiscal year was 1028.4, on May 29, 1968, corresponding to 14,900 acre-feet above summer low water regulation pool. The excess storage amounted to 45 percent of net summer flood control capacity. Activities under reservoir management program comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management, and operation and maintenance of public-use facilities continued. Condition at end of fiscalyear. Authorized project is complete and in operation for flood control and low water regulation purposes in industrialized Mahoning Valley below. Construction of dam was started January 1942 and completed June 1943. Land acquired for project consists of 6,885.5 acres in fee simple and easements over 1,098.4 acres.

Completed project cost $9,524,601. Local cooperation. None required by law. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated as required and necessary repairs were made to structures and appurtenances. In addition, resurfacing access road was completed by contract at cost of $18,660. Extremely heavy rainfall on September 28- 29, 1967 in upper Clarion River Basin caused a major flood along upper Clarion River during which this reservoir achieved significant reductions along upper Clarion River. For this storm and flood, crest stage reductions attributed to this reservoir varied from 1.8 feet at Johnsonburg, Pa. to 1.4 feet at Ridgway, Pa. From this storm and flood the reservoir reached elevation 1651.0 (maximum conservation level) with a storage of 45,500 acre-feet. Estimated flood control benefits within Pittsburgh District achieved by this reservoir for fiscal year were $196,600. Total flood control benefits within Pittsburgh District to June 30, 1968 are $3,368,300. Maximum elevation attained during fiscal year was 1672.3 on May 25, 1968, corresponding to 2,700 acre-feet of storage above summer low water regulation pool. Excess storage amounted to 14 percent of net summer flood control capacity. Regulated low flows at Johnsonburg, Pa., during periods July 1, 1967 to September 27, 1967 and June 9-25, 1968, averaged 230 cubic feet per second representing 236 percent of natural low water flows. Thus, this reservoir achieved significant benefits from low flow augmentation for populated areas using Clarion River and also to Piney Reservoir (private power dam). Some reservoir management activity was performed throughout the year comprising sanitation measures, conservation, land management and operation of public-use facilities. Work was limited in scope as bulk of reservoir lands are owned by Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Condition at end offiscal year. Authorized project is complete. Reservoir is in operation for low water regulation purposes in Clarion River valley below and for flood control as a unit of coordinated reservoir system for protection of Pittsburgh and upper Ohio Valley, generally.

On Indiana shore of Lake Michigan in Staer County, 18 miles east of Illinois-Indiana east orne, 14 miles east of Indiana Harbor, 9 miles (it of Gary Harbor 14 miles west of Michigan tY Ha rbor, Ind., and 19 miles southeast of Calu- Existarbor, Ill. (See Lake Survey Chart 75.) te4rt ng project. Provides for (a) a north breakwao1 0 foot long; (b) a west breakwater 1,330 feet g; (c) an east breakwater 1,340 feet long; (d) an approach channel 30 feet deep and 400 feet wide, extending from deep water in Lake Michigan to north end of east breakwater; (e) an entrance channel 28 feet deep and 800 feet wide, from end of approach channel to west breakwater; and (f) a 225 acre outer harbor 27 feet deep. Project was authorized by 1965 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 160, 88th Cong., 1st sess.) Authorizing act also provides the Secretary of the Army may reimburse State of Indiana for expenditure of funds used to construct S11COst and t the end financial statements for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. All other tables are referenced in text and also appear this chapter. 873 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 such portions of project as approved by Chief of Engineers and constructed under supervision of the Chief of Engineers. Unless construction of project begins within 3 years from enactment of this act, the authority to reimburse State of Indiana shall expire. State of Indiana shall furnish assurance satisfactory to Secretary of the Army that water and air pollution sources will be controlled to maximum extent feasible in order to minimize any adverse effects on public recreational areas in the general vicinity of the harbor. No appropriation is authorized to be made for construction of this project until Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore has been voted upon by both Houses of Congress during the same Congress. (The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Park was authorized by P.L. 89-761, dated 5 November 1966). Project depths are referred to low-water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datuml955). Surface fluctuations of Lake Michigan in the locality have ranged from a high monthly mean of 51.8 feet above to 1.15 feet below low-water datum. Monthly means within any year have varied from 0.36 to 2.23 feet. Temporary changes in water level may range from a few inches to several feet for periods varying from a few minutes to several hours. Estimated costs (1968) are $13,605,000 Federal and $76,400,000 non-Federal, a total cost of $90,005,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction and future maintenance of project and for aids to navigation upon request of the Chief of Engineers, including suitable spoil-disposal areas determined and necessary retaining dikes, bulkheads, and embankments therefor or costs of such retaining works; hold the United States free from damage due to construction and maintenance of project, including damages resulting from any shore erosion that may occur; reimburse the United States for all excess costs for dredging if not done by hydraulic methods; provide and maintain adequate public terminal and transfer facilities open to all equally; provide and maintain depths in berthing areas and local access channels serving the terminals commensurate with depths provided in related project areas; construct a fully integrated steel plant; construct adequate east and west shore connections 1,820 and 2,500 feet long, respectively. Construction of these shore connections is to be done either before or with construction of breakwaters by the United States; and furnish assurances that water and air pollution sources will be controlled to maximum extent feasible in order to minimize any adverse effects on public recreational areas in the general vicinity of the harbor. Assurances of local cooperation were receive from the State of Indiana on 21 May 1968. State of Indiana is proceeding under provision of authorizing act with construction of the harbor. Harbor being constructed by the commission provides for; A north breakwater 4,630 feet long; a west outer bulkhead 1,200 feet long; an approach channel 30 feet deep and 400 feet wide, extending from deep water in Lake Michigan to north end of east bulk' head being constructed by others; an outer harbor 28 feet deep having an area of about 94 acres; an east harbor arm 27 feet deep having an area about 18 acres; and a west harbor arm 27 feet deep having an area of about 71 acres. The Bethlehem Steel Company placed in operation a cold-rolled sheet and tin mill in November 194 and a hot sheet mill in October 1966. The facility is located on a small portion of the 3,300 acre tract along Lake Michigan located adjacent and easterly of the site of the proposed Indiana public harbor Plans are well developed for enlarging this plant into a fully integrated steel manufacturing comple comprised of the most modern equipment whSich will process iron ore from pellet to finished stee plates and sheets.

The first stage of project is defined as entire project exclusive of Battle Creek channel portion upstream from its junction with Kalamazoo River. At time of authorization of improvement the Secretary of the Army recommended in the project document that a cash contribution of $93,000, at report price levels, should be made by non-Federal interests. Assurances were furnished by city of Battle Creek and formally accepted by the United States December 10, 1956. Local interests made a cash contribution of $125,000 and allowed credit for channel construction and bridge removal work accomplished by them at old confluence of Kalamazoo River and Battle Creek channels. Cash contribution received, credits allowed for work accomplished by local interests and anticipated savings in Federal construction costsdue to reduced capacity of a portion of Battle Creek channel from abandonment of headrace, partially offset by increased cost of cutoff channel due to increased capacity, were collectively considered sufficient for expenditure of funds for completion of first stage of project. An additional cash contribution will be required before starting final stage of project. All local cooperation required for first-stage of project has been complied with.

COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIN DATA During the fiscal year the Flood Plain Management Services Unit was established in the Detroit District. Significant features of the program within the Detroit District includes; (1) the provision of services and guidance in flood plain management activities, (2) the preparation of flood plain information reports, and (3) the provision of technical services to Federal agencies in compliance with Executive Order 11296 and to State and local agencies. a. Flood Plain Management Services Unit. A Director of the FPMS program was selected on a full time basis. Talks were given to officials of Federal, State and local agencies, to engineering societies and organizations as well as to civic organizations, and to private organizations on flood plain management activities and flood plain management techniques. Numerous responses have been made to requests from private interests for available flood data. Meetings have been held with engineers, land developers, attorneys, and other disciplines to discuss the various aspects of flood plain management techniques. The Michigan Water Resources Commission established rules and procedures to implement the Subdivision Control Act of 1967 enacted by the Michigan State legislature and in connection with this Act, assistance was provided the State in the technical implementation and review of flood hazard potentials. A special Michigan State Senate Committee hearing was held to discuss the type of new legislation that is necessary to secure the flood plain regulations calculated to serve all aspects of the public interest. Corps representatives attended this hearing and presented a statement on the Corps' role in flood plain management. A resulting bill was passed by Michigan legislature and signed by Governor Romney on June 17, 1968.'The Bill is Michigan Act 167 dated June 17, 1968 and has immediate effect. This Bill gives the Water Resources Commission power to establish rules for occupation and fill of flood plains. Total costs were $28,511. 947 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 b.

Twenty-one facilities are along banks of Ashtabula River and six are on south side of outer harbor. Twenty-two terminals have railroad connections and 15 mechanical-handling facilities. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 42, revised 1960, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Contract operations for deepening approach channel and turning basin in east outer harbor as authorized by 1965 act, were initiated in July 1967 and completed in June 1968. Approximately 464,950 cubic yards of material were removed by dipper dredge. Maintenance: Miscellaneous inspection and services and condition surveys by Government plant and hired labor cost $14,436. U. S. hopper dredge Lyman removed 148,629 cubic yards, bin measure, and shoaled material over an area of approximately 170,000 square yards of east outer harbor and lower river entrance channel to project depths of 28 and 27 feet, at a cost of $62,782. U. S. Derrickboats BD 6634 and the Tonawanda repaired 300 l.f. of the east breakwater, rubblemount construction, at a cost of $111,000. Snagging and clearing in project channels by Government plant and hired labor cost $758. Pilot Program: Cost of planning for alternate disposal areas for disposal of polluted dredged materials amounted to $8,328. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 93 percent complete. West breakwater was completed in 1915 except 580 feet of inner end which was completed in 1923, and 600 feet of outer end which was completed in 1935. East breakwater was completed in 1915; 800 feet of westerly end was removed and a lakeward extension of 700 feet was completed in 1935. Old inner east breakwater 1,200 feet long was completed in 1909, and westerly 600 feet were removed in 1913 and 350 feet in 1935.

Portion of existing project conwWdith charting provides for general maintenance of chart coverage. Various classes of charts are issued consisting essentially of general charts employing small scales; coastal, river, and sectional charts employing medium scales; harbor and confined locality charts employing large scales; and special charts such as those for recreational use employing scales suitable for purposes intended. Number of charts and individual chart scales and coverages are not fixed, project being made purposely flexible to permit alterations to keep abreast of changing needs. Essential to charting, and pertinent to lake levels and hydraulics as well, is the portion of project relating to maintenance of horizontal and vertical control coverage. Original control was established under early projects in connection with initial surveys by U. S. Lake Survey on the Great Lakes and by other Government agencies in the other areas of the district. Original control has been preserved wherever possible; where destroyed, it has been replaced as needed; and where necessary, it has been augmented by additional control for use in connection with later surveys and other Corps work. Project includes publications with information for benefit of navigation in addition to that provided by charts. These consist of such publications as the Great Lakes Pilot and supplements thereto and various lake and river level bulletins. The Pilot, issued annually, supplies full descriptions of physical conditions of waters charted and particulars of constantly changing conditions not adapted to adequate or prompt representation on charts. The supplements, issued monthly during the Great Lakes navigation season, provide corrections and additions to the Pilot. Lake and river level bulletins permit maximum utilization of navigational depths in Federal projects and elsewhere. at the and financial statements for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. All other tables are referenced in text and also appear this chapter. 999 REPORT OF THE CHIEF , 1 INEERS, U.S. ARMY 1968 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 provides for continuing studies of all aspects thereof required for discharge of Corps of Engineers responsibilities on the Great Lakes. In addition to the foregoing, the Lake Survey Great Lakes Research Center makes scientific investigations of all aspects of fresh-water oceanography relating to development and utilization of water resources of the Great Lakes system, in conjunction with which field surveys and observations are accomplished, data collected and analyzed and reports published. For additional details of existing project, see Annual Report for 1962. Operations and Results during Fiscal Year. A report was completed on the 1965 discharge measurements made at various locations on the St. Marys River. Reports were started on the results of the St. Clair and Detroit River discharge measurements made in 1966. A re-evaluation of the effects of the 27-foot Detroit River navigation project based on additional discharge measurements was completed. A mathematical model of the river was completed and used for a report on the design of additional compensating works. A modification was made of the plan for the extension of the Trenton Channel. Discharge measurements in the Detroit River were completed using 11 current meters measuring simultaneously in the vertical. These data will be used not only for obtaining the discharge but also for studying the vertical distribution of the velocity. A submerged, continuously-recording, current meter was installed during the measurements for possible application to obtaining continuous measurements of discharge. A similar investigation was started on the St. Clair River. A cooperative program of simultaneous discharge measurements by the United States and Canada in the Niagara River and the Tonowanda and Chippawa Channels around Grand Island started in FY 67, was completed. In addition, similar simultaneous discharge measurements were obtained in the Maid-of-the- Mist Pool and in the lower Niagara River below Queenston. The field data collected during FY 67 and FY 68 were reduced and application of the data to hydraulic studies was begun. Extension on the tables of the Lake Erie outflow report of the Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data from January 1965 through August 1966 was coordinated with the In' land Waters Branch of Canada. Inshore hydro graphic surveys were made in northeastern Lake Michigan between Beaver Island and the Michigan mainland and on Rainy Lake in northern Minne' sota. Horizontal control was established where needed in these areas. Revisory surveys of Lakes Ontario, Erie and Champlain, and along the St. Lawrence River and the New York Barge Canals were completed. Revisory surveys on Lake Mici gan were started. Surveys required for the maintes nance of vertical control at harbors and gage sites along these waters were accomplished. Eighteen special water-level gages, established earlier in se lected harbors on Lakes Ontario and Erie, were continued in operation. These gages are required tO obtain data for verifying or establishing vertical control at these harbors. Thirty-three similar gages were installed at harbors on Lakes Michigan-lurtof and Superior. Field work for the re-evaluationo International Great Lakes Datum (1955) was oth tinued with special order levels along the south shore of Lake Ontario. (Note that the foreg o* operations do not include certain operations cond ducted specifically for international boards ain committee. These operations are described later a separate section herein. Note, however, that s o e of the foregoing operations are pertinent tohe work of the international groups as well as to basic Lake Survey mission.) Work accomplishedoio the various continuing projects of the water notided field of Great Lakes Research Program inclua d studies of harbor currents at Toledo, Ohio, and Harbor Beach, Michigan; deep-water wave pint surements at Eagle Harbor, Whitefish Point, kirk, Betsie, and Muskegon, Michigan, and Dukni rkc New York; and shallow-water wave characteristic measurements at Pentwater, Michigan. Data thefr water-level gages in Lake Erie were used fora investigation of short-period water level disturba , ces. Energy transfer at the air-water interfacer volved data collected at the Lake Survey research tower near Muskegon, Michigan. Work aCcor plished in the Shore Processes Research Field it cluded collection, reduction, and analysis of data from Pentwater, Michigan, and the conti i analyses of lower Lake Huron and St. Clair teris' data. Work accomplished in the Water Chara' be tic Field comprised monitoring of 1"1 harbor0s dis fore, during and after dredging and after the posal of dredged material in conjunction w i prt Spoil Disposal Pilot Program. A preliminlary Work was prepared on the findings at each harbor. 1000 U.S. LAKE SURVEY accomplished in the Water Quantity Field included Precipitation recording on five islands in Lake Michigan and two in Lake Erie. Collection and reduction of weather and lake data on South ManitOu Island, Lake Michigan, was continued. Analysis of the data from other stations was continued. Work in the Ice and Snow Field reconnaissance included 14 aerial flights between 24 January and 3 April 1968, which resulted in 38 ice charts, and aerial photomapping of 4,500 flight-miles at an anlataigtuedrey ooff 2W3,h0i0t0e fifsehe t. Side-looking airborne radar Bay and the Straits of Mackinac as produced. A report titled -River Ice Jams - i terature Survey-was published. In addition to LLaakceo ntinuing Great Lakes research mission, the Survey was designated by the Chief of Engi- ineers to administer the Corps of Engineers respondrSibility as Lead Agency for the International Hy- Theogical Decade activities on the Great Lakes. tioese activities have been designated -Internationa Field Year on the Great Lakes.-In coordinaith the IFYGL Steering Committee, four and contracts with universities were negotiated, as ne project within the U. S. Geological Survey redfuansd ed. Computer utilization was increased for reseaion of data generated by engineering and rstaerch activities. Computer applications included levels a l analyses of data on spoils disposal, water draul water temperatures, ice and snow, and hycard and lake regulation.

Each Thursday the outflow to be released from Lake Ontario was coordinated for the ensuing week with the Canadian Regulation Representative, and the Power Authority of the State of New York was informed of the quantity. Regulation plan 1958-D, which was developed as a cooperative project by the Canadian and U. S. Regulation Representatives, was used for the determination of the outflow. Collaboration with Canada in the collection of Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River data needed for regulation was continued. The District Engineer or a member of his staff attended three meetings of the Board's Operations Advisory Group. Supply forecasts and reports for the Board's information concerning the effects of certain probable supply sequences on the levels of Lake Ontario were made monthly. Operation of Iroquois Dam was requested and authorized on eighteen occasions during the fiscal year. St. Lawrence Committee on River Gaging. Field inspection of the St. Lawrence River water-level gages used by the St. Lawrence River Board of Control was made jointly with the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, and monthly random checks were made of the power entities water-level record reductions. Field inspection was made in conjunction with the Inland Waters Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Canada, of the procedures for determination of flow through the structures of Lake St. Lawrence, and random check of the flow through the several structures was made for one day each month. The 26th and 27th progress reports of the Committee were prepared and presented to the Board of Control. Great Lakes Levels Board and Working Committee. The District Engineer or members of his staff attended two meetings of the Board and five meetings of the Working Committee. The District Engineer and/or members of his staff attended eight meetings of the Regulation Subcommittee during the year. In addition, close liaison between personnel engaged in the studies for the Working Conmmittee and the Board was maintained through f're quent telephone discussions and exchanges of study material. The Regulation Subcommittee during the reporting period forwarded to the Working CoD" mittee for consideration four letter reports covering various aspects of its work. Currently under study are regulation plans for all of the lakes and fto various combinations of the lakes. In conjunctio with these studies, work has also been started 00 preparation of reports on the hydraulics and by drology of the system and on consumptive useff water within the system. A member of the swrk attended four meetings of the Regulatory Subcommittee.

On California coast, 65 miles northwest of Los Angeles Harbor and 345 miles south of San Francisco. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 5007 and 5202.) Existing project. A harbor for light-draft vessels, on coast of southern California about a mile northwest of existing harbor of Port Hueneme, and beach erosion control works. Ventura County, sponsor of project, requested modification of document plan of harbor improvement and submitted a modified plan that was adopted and approved by District Engineer. The harbor, which provides facilities for berthing and servicing about 640 small craft and commercial fishing boats, includes an entrance channel 20 feet deep, 300 feet wide, and 1,650 feet long protected by two parallel entrance jetties 1,270 and 1,300 feet long; an entrance basin 20 feet deep, 300 to 750 feet wide, and 1,750 feet long; an inner basin 10 feet deep, 900 to 1,400 feet wide, and 1,200 to 2,000 feet long; and a side basin 10 feet deep, 100 to 250 feet wide, and 900 feet long. About 6,238,000 cubic yards of dredged material from entrance channel, interior basins, and sandtrap were deposited in feeder-beach area to restore downcoast shoreline. A 2,300-foot-long offshore breakwater was placed to form a sandtrap in conjunction with jetties. About 2,000,000 cubic yards of material are to be dredged each biennium from sandtrap formed by jetties and breakwater. This material will also be deposited along the downcoast shoreline as long as the area remains under Federal ownership and requires beach erosion control. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. Range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 5.4 feet. Extreme range is about 8.5 feet. Federal first cost of new work on project as modified was $5,123,345 (excluding $1,361,668 Navy funds and cost to Coast Guard for installation of aids to navigation). Existing project was adopted by 1954 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 362, 83d Cong., 2d sess.).

Project also includes parallel rubblemound jetties at entrance to inner harbor, north jetty 9,500 feet long and south jetty 12,000 feet long; three highway bridges across tidal canal, two of which (at Park Street and High Street) have been replaced by local interests. Railroad and highway bridges at Fruitvale Avenue are maintained and operated by the United States. All depths refer to mean lower low water. Range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 6 feet in outer harbor and 6.3 feet in inner harbor at Park Street Bridge. Extreme range is about 11 feet. Approved estimated cost for new work (1968), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects, is $11,656,000, of which $11,572,000 is Federal cost and $84,000 contributed by local interests. Deepening tidal canal from 18 to 25 feet and Federal participation in reconstruction of Fruitvale Avenue Highway Bridge to be restudied and are excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost of tidal canal deepening (1954) is $489,069. Estimated cost of Federal participation in reconstruction of Fruitvale Avenue Highway Bridge (1960) is $1,750,000. (See table at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Act of January 21, 1927, requires that future maintenance by the United States of north channel in Brooklyn Basin be contingent upon removal by local interests of all sewers emptying therein, or, in lieu of such removal, upon contribution of one-half the cost of maintenance. This requirement has not been fulfilled. In compliance with a 1910 license issued by Secretary of War pursuant to provisions of act of June 25, 1910, local interests replaced bridges at Park Street and High Street and are operating and maintaining them. They operated and maintained a combined highway and railroad bridge at Fruitvale Avenue until 1942 when California Court of Appeals ruled that it was illegal for County of Alameda to use appropriated funds for sole benefit of a private corporation. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. operated trains over combined bridge until June 1951 when a separate railroad bridge, constructed for its use by the Federal Government, was placed in operation. (Railroad and highway bridges at Fruitvale Ave. are maintained and operated by the United States.) All other requirements have been fully complied with.
