The Charles River extends inland from Boston Harbor southwesterly toward the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border and is some 80 miles long with a watershed covering 307 square miles. Existing project. The project provides for Federal acquisition and perpetual protection of 17 crucial natural valley storage areas totalling an estimated 8,422 acres in what is known as the Middle and Upper watershed of the Charles River. The acquisition in fee or by easement of the major natural valley storage areas within the Charles River watershed is intended as a multiple-purpose project for flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife management. Not only do the upstream wetlands suffer the effects of high flow periods, they also mitigate the consequences of low flow and extended drought. By releasing their stored waters gradually in the summer months, stream flows are naturally sustained through periods of low precipitation. Much of the wetlands protected will be managed as a wildlife refuge with limited public access. The benefits projected for the Middle and Upper Charles River area relate to minimizing future flood losses and protecting the ecologic integrity of a fragile environment. The latest approved cost estimate (July 1974) for new work is $9,680,000. (See Table 1-B at end of chapter for Act authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation.

FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS A coordinated system of reservoirs, many of which are multi-purpose in nature and all containing significant amounts of storage for flood control purposes, has been established in five major flood producing basins in New England. During periods of flood flows, regulation of reservoirs is fully coordinated within each basin dependent upon its location in the watershed, its available storage capacity and origin of flood. In addition to flood control releases, water supply and flow augmentation releases were made from selected reservoirs. During fiscal year 1975 moderate rains during the autumn and spring months resulted in three minor flood events in September 1974, March 1975, and April 1975. However, no benefits were claimed from the operation of our reservoirs or local protection projects. Blackstone River Basin. There was no significant regulation of West Hill reservoir during FY 75. Connecticut River Basin. During March and April 1975 a number of reservoirs in the basin were utilized for storing flood waters. Most of the projects stored less than 10 percent with Knightville and Littleville storing 20 percent in March, and Surry Mountain and Colebrook storing 10 and 20 percent, respectively in April. In addition, releases for white water canoeing occurred at Ball Mountain during October 1974 and May 1975, and at Knightville during March and April 1975. Water supply and fish releases were discharged from Colebrook River Lake. Housatonic River Basin. Thomaston, Hall Meadow, East Branch, Northfield, Black Rock, Hancock Brook and Hop Brook utilized storage on three occasions in FY 75: September 1974 with storages up to six percent, March 1975 with five to 12 percent and April 1975 with five to seven percent. Merrimack River Basin. Franklin Falls, MacDowell, Hopkinton, Everett and Blackwater were regulated to store water in April 1975 with storages varying between four and six percent. Thames River Basin. There was no significant regulation of the Thames River Basin Projects during FY 1975. West Thompson Lake level was raised several feet for the AKC retriever trials in September 1974. 62. HURRICANE BARRIER OPERATIONS Four hurricane barriers, located along the southern coast of New England, protect coastal communities from tidal flooding associated with hurricanes or severe coastal storms. The Corps operates the navigational elements of the Stamford, Connecticut and New Bedford- Fairhaven, Massachusetts barriers. The Fox Point, Rhode Island and Pawcatuck, Connecticut barriers are operated by the local communities. A brief resume of operations follows: Stamford Barrier. The barrier gate was closed on 12 occasions, all due to coastal storms. The maximum ocean tide rose to 7.8 feet msl. New Bedford-Fairhaven Barrier. The barrier gates were closed on five occasions, all due to coastal storms. The maximum ocean tide rose to 5.7 feet msl. Fox Point and Pawcatuck Barriers.

SUPERVISOR OF NEW YORK HARBOR (Prevention of Obstructive and Injurious Deposits) The District Engineer, New York District, was designated Supervisor of New York Harbor under the provisions of the River and Harbor Act of June 29, 1888 (33 U.S.C. 441-451), as amended July 12, 1952. Under this Act, the Supervisor of New York Harbor is charged with the mission of preventing the deposit of obstructive injurious materials in New York Harbor and its adjacent and tributary waters, including Long Island Sound. The Supervisor of New York Harbor is also responsible for enforcing the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 (33 U.S.C. 452) which makes it unlawful for any person or persons to engage in fishing or dredging for shellfish in any of the channels leading to and from New York Harbor, or to interfere in any way with the safe navigation of those channels by ocean steamships and ships of deep draft. The River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403, 407, 409), commonly known as the Refuse Act, applies to all navigable waters in the United States. This Statute is used for enforcement purposes by the New York District Engineer on waterway violations not within the scope of the Act of 1888 or on violations that occur within his area of jurisdiction outside of New York Harbor and Long Island Sound. The waters under the jurisdiction of the Supervisor of New York Harbor include New York Harbor and its tributaries, Raritan River, Arthur Kill, Newark 2-16 NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT Bay, Hackensack and Passaic Rivers, Kill Van Kull, Hudson River and its tributaries to the Federal Lock and Dam at Troy, New York, the East River and its tributaries, Harlem River and Long Island Sound. Enforcement of the Act of 1888 in Long Island Sound is limited to the Sound itself, ending at lines drawn between the headlands of the many inlets and harbors along its shores. The Supervisor of the Harbor, in his capacity as District Engineer, may apprehend violators of anti-pollution laws under authority of the Act of March 3, 1899 when violations occur in the inland tributary waters of Long Island Sound. The navigable waters of the Hudson River extending north from Troy, New York to the New York District boundary line at the Canadian border are under the jurisdiction of the Disctrict Engineer. The mission includes surveillance and inspection by Patrol Boat, to the 3-mile limit of tows enroute to dumping grounds in the Atlantic Ocean to ensure that material is not illegally deposited in the waters of New York Harbor; patrol of inland waters i.e. Long Island Sound and the Hudson River to prevent illegal deposits that would have an adverse effect on navigation or anchorage; and prevention of interference with safe navigation in New York Harbor entrance channels and other waters under the jurisdiction of this office. Inspections of shorefront facilities and property are conducted by Inspectors utilizing government vehicles equipped with two-way radios. These Inspectors operate out of field offices located at Belle Meade and Jersey City, New Jersey, Fort Tilden, Fort Totten, Kingston and Troy, New York. The Troy Field Office covers the area of the upper Hudson River and Lake Champlain to the International Boundary at the Canadian Border. Inspections of shorefront facilities are conducted on an 8-hour a day, five days a week schedule. The activities include inspection of construction work, fill or excavation in waterways, including wetland areas, to determine if the individual or company concerned has a Department of the Army permit for such work, and if so, if the work is being performed in accordance with the provisions of the permit; investigation of illegal deposits of refuse into navigable waters or their tributaries, or on the shoreline where the material is subject to being washed into the waterways and adversely affect navigation; obstruction, by vessels, to navigation; inspections of placement and operation of fish pounds and fish nets in the waters of the bays and estuaries tributary to the Atlantic Ocean between Montauk Point, New York and Manasquan, New Jersey, the bays and estuaries in the State of New York tributary to Long Island Sound, and in the Hudson River. (See Table 2-E for Statement of Activities.) 22. RECONNAISSANCE AND CONDITION SURVEYS (See Table 2-F at end of chapter.) 23.

Actual placement of fill commenced in April 1975 and was anticipated to be completed in October 1975. Condition at end of fiscal year. Advance engineering and design is completed. Placement of fill on Contract #1 was commenced in April 1975 and ancitipated to be completed in October 1975. 26. FIRE ISLAND INLET TO JONES INLET, 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 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 Chart 12352.) 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 was 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. 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 60.5 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 navigation channel and nourishment of beaches westerly of the inlet, is included in annual maintenance. Mean range of tide is 4.1 feet. Total estimated Federal cost of new work is $28,786,767 (October 1975), of which $2,646,767 is for work authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act, and $26,140,000 for modification authorized by 1962 River and Harbor Act. Project documents contain latest published maps. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1958 provides local interests obtain approval by Chief of Engineers, before starting work on any feature of project, of detailed plans and specifications and arrangements for prosecuting work on that feature; provide lands, and rights-of-ways; hold the United States free from damages; assure that water pollution that would endanger health of bathers will not be permitted; assure maintenance of recommended project during its useful life as may be required to insure realization of anticipated benefits; and assure continued public ownership of the shore and its administration for public use during economic life of project. Long Island State Park Commission of State of New York, the cooperating agency, entered into an agreement with United States August 21, 1958, as modified November 18, 1959, and February 1, 1962, in which the agency adopted plan of improvement 2-18 NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT for beach erosion control authorized by Congress and agreed to furnish its share of cost, and comply with all other requirements of local cooperaton. By letter dated October 7, 1958, cooperating agency requested United States to undertake and supervise construction of first increment of work. First modification to agreement enabled construction by Federal Government of a sand closure across gorge channel which was completed in 1960 at a cost of $364,000 from funds furnished by cooperating agency (contributed funds-other). Second modification enabled delineation of sand closure as a part of authorized project in accordance with Public Works Appropriation Act, 1962, which included $152,880 (42 percent of $364,000) specifically for repayment of Federal share of cost. Unused contributed funds, surplus to needs of first increment, were returned May 17, 1962. Second dredging operation was financially complete April 30, 1966, and unused required contributed funds were returned July 7, 1966. In addition to assurances similar to those cited for the work under the 1958 act, local interests, for the work under the 1962 act, must provide and maintain a parking lot with adequate sanitary facilities as may be required for recreational fishermen use of the jetty extension; and contribute about 39.5 percent of total first cost, 32.1 percent of periodic dredging cost allocated to beach erosion control for beach nourishment, and 9.8 percent of maintenance cost. Off-project fishing facilities are a non- Federal responsibility. Total estimated cost of local cooperation to be provided by local interests is $19,332,335 (October 1975) for new work, of which $2,272,335 (cash contribution) is for work authorized by the 1958 act; and $17,060,000 the 1962 act, of which $17,040,000 is cash contribution and $20,000 is other non- Federal costs for off-project facilities; exclusive of shares of annual periodic dredging and maintenaice costs. Assurances executed with State 4/27/73 approved by Sec of Army 5/24/73. Operations and results during fiscal year. Contract #2 was awarded on June 12, 1974 for $4,892,650. $25,072 was expended for engineering and design preliminary dredging. Actual work on contract #2 was commenced on July 27, 1974, and was terminated by the contractor on April 18, 1975 after having dredged 931,310 cubic yards of which 897,554 cubic yards was pay-uuantity at a cost of $3,335,000 which was the available funds in the fiscal year for the contract. An invitation for bids on the third contract consisting of dredging about 1,845,000 cubic yards of material and placing it along the 11,000-foot long feeder beach was advertised in June 1975. Condition at end of fiscal year. Under the 1958 Act, the first dredging operation is complete at a cost of $1,124,826 exclusive of $1,553,331 required contributed funds.

Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1960 provides that before starting construction, local interests give assurances they will (a) provide lands, rights-of-way, including borrow areas, for construction; (b) make alterations and relocations of buildings, streets, storm drains, utilities, and other structures made necessary by construction; (c) bear 30 percent of total first 2-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 cost estimated at $40,440,000 to consist of items listed in (a) and (b) above and a cash contribution estimated at $35,690,000 or, if any section is undertaken separately apportionment of first cost will be as shown in District Engineer's report, with due regard to change in public use and ownership and other changes before construction; provided that cash contribution be paid either in a lump sum before starting entire project, or in installments before starting pertinent items, in accordance with construction schedules as required by Chief of Engineers, final apportionment of cost to be made after actual costs and values have been determined; (d) hold the United States free from damages; (e) maintain all works and undertake periodic beach nourishment after completion, except that for 10 years after completion of a useful nourishment unit Federal Government would contribute, dependent on conditions of public use and ownership and other changes at time of construction an amount for entire project now estimated at $66,000 annually; (f) maintain during economic life of project continued public ownership of non-Federal publicly owned shores and continued availability for public use of privately owned shore equivalent to that upon which recommended Federal participation is based; (g) adopt appropriate ordinances to provide for preservation of dunes and their protective vegetation; (h) control water pollution to extent necessary to safeguard health of bathers; (i) obtain approval of Chief of Engineers of detailed plans and specifications for work contemplated and arrangements for its prosecution before starting any work on beach protection phase of project for which Federal participation is planned, if undertaken separately from recommended combined project; and (j) contribute in cash toward cost of hurricane protection works constructed under this plan, in addition to apportionment required in (c) above, an amount equal to increased Federal cost resulting from separate construction of beach protection work referred to in (i) above. Responsible agency is State of New York. On July 30, 1963, the State reflecting the desires of Suffolk County, requested the inclusion of a minimum of 13 groins in initial construction of Moriches-Shinnecock reach. Chief of Engineers concurred in inclusion of up to 13 groins. Assurances were executed by Superintendent of Public Works, State of New York, on August 14 and accepted by the District Engineer August 20, 1963. On February 5, 1964, the State requested consideration of a plan, as proposed by Suffolk County, for initial construction of 13 groins of which 11 would be in the Moriches- Shinnecock reach, and 2 in the Southampton- Beach Hampton reach in vicinity of Georgica Pond; and that sandfill and dune construction be withheld for the present except for 1 miles on each side of Shinnecock Inlet. 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 State recommended that planning priority be in the order: Southampton-Beach Hampton (drainage structures first); 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 October 28, 1965 with the Georgica Pond Association and 2-22 NEW YORK, N. Y., DISTRICT the Preservation Society of East End wnerein concern was indicated regarding the effects of the proposed drainage structure on ecology, salinity, pond level and aesthetic values; meeting with Congressional representatives, State legislators, Federal agencies and local officials held on May 26, 1966; and 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 groin 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. On March 18, 1968 the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution supporting construction of 4 groins in Reach 2 (Moriches-Shinnecock) and 2 groins in Reach 4 (Southampton-Beach Hampton). On April 22, 1968 the Board adopted a more inclusive resolution authorizing participation in beach erosion and hurricane protection for the Moriches-Shinnecock reach and in the Georgica Pond area of the Southampton-Beach Hampton reach. On December 24, 1968, the Commissioner of the New York State Conservation Department executed the second supplement to the assurances of local cooperation, which was accepted by the District Engineer on January 24, 1969. This reaffirmed previous assurances contained provisions for constructing four additional groins in an area extending 6,000 feet west from the most westerly groin in the existing eleven-groin field in the Moriches Inlet to Shinnecock Inlet Reach, and for placing beach and dune fill in this area to the full design cross section as defined in the authorized project report, except for the portion of the dune mean sea level elevation 16 feet and 20 feet. Thus this stage construction established the top of dune to an elevation of 16 feet m.s.l. with a 65 foot width at that elevation and the top of berm to 14 feet m.s.4. with a 100 foot width at that elevation. These assurances also required that the State obtain and provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way, to permit entry.for the period of construction, and that the necessary rights will be obtained, as required, of lands, easements and rights-ofway, for maintenance and repair of the groins, dunes, and berms, and to insure the integrity of the completed structure. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Continued study of coastal protection needs for present and future conditions. At the request of the local cooperating agency planning was resumed in 1975 for another increment of work at Westhampton Beach in the Moriches Inlet to Shinnecock Inlet reach, consisting of placement of beach and dune fill in the initial 11 groin field constructed in 1966 and along the 9,500 feet of shore westward of the existing groin field. Condition at end of fiscal year. Engineering and design began November 1962 and project construction commenced in January 1965. Two groins in Reach 4: Southampton-Beach Hampton, Section 3, were initiated in March, and completed in September 1965, at a total cost of $720,950 of which $382,109 were incurred against required contributed funds. Eleven groins in Reach 2: Moriches-Shinnecock, Section 2, were initiated in January 1965, and completed in October 1966 at a total cost of $2,854,565 of which $1,370,191 were incurred against required contributed funds. Initial beach fill placement for 750,000 cubic yards in Reach 2, Section 1A was completed on May 23, 1969. On August 4, 1969 work started on 4 groins and sandfill in Reach 2, Section 1A and was completed November 14, 1970. 3,083 tons of stone and 1,111,000 cubic yards of sand were placed. Total cost for all Section lA was $3,663,455 including $1,791,428 required contributed funds. Planning for another increment of work at Westhampton Beach underway.

Norfolk District undertook jurisdiction of the channel in York Spit Section in fiscal year 1942 and the channels in Cape Henry and Rappahannock Shoal Sections in fiscal year 1961. Project as authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act is 85 percent complete. Work within the Baltimore District is 78 percent complete. The work remaining to be done is dredging the Connecting Channel to the C&D Canal and remaining width of the approaches thereto. Work within the Norfolk District on Cape Henry, York Spit, and Rappahannock Shoal sections was completed in March 1967. Work has not started on the project as authorized by 1970 River and Harbor Act. Total costs for existing project were $45,948,574 of which $28,654,257 was for new work and $17,294,317 for maintenance. 2. BALTIMORE HARBOR, MD., COLLECTION AND REMOVAL OF DRIFT Location. Project applies to Baltimore Harbor, Md., and its tributaries. Existing project. Provides for collection and removal of drift from Baltimore Harbor and its tributary waters, and authorizes Secretary of the Army to allot such amounts as may be necessary for work from appropriations for maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor works or other available appropriations, and that this work shall be carried as a separate and distinct project. It is wholly a work of maintenance. Purpose of work is to afford relief from variable conditions of obstruction. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. See report for Baltimore Harbor and Channels, Md. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance operations, by hired labor, consisted of collection and disposal of 27,540 cubic feet of driftwood, ranging from small blocks up to timbers of large dimensions. Condition at end offiscal year. Existing project is one of continuous maintenance. Navigation has been made safer by continued patrol of the harbor and removal of drift material which began in July 1949. 3. CHESTER RIVER, MD. Location. Rises in Kent County, Del., flows 50 miles generally southwesterly and empties into Chesapeake Bay. Kent Island Narrows is a passage connecting Chester River and Eastern Bay. Wells Cove is an indentation on easterly side of Kent Island Narrows about 0.4 mile south of highway bridge crossing the Narrows. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 548 and 1226.) Previous project. For details see page 262 of Annual Report for 1960. Existing project.

From April 1953 to June 30, 1975, $44,290,000 was borrowed from the United States Treasury, in installments, to finance expansion and improvement of the water system as authorized by the above laws. Fiscal year 1948 through fiscal year 1954, pursuant to Public Law 195, 80th Congress, 1st session, $1,000,000 was authorized each year for water consumed by the Federal Government. Public Law 364, 83rd Congress, 2nd session, known as the "District of Columbia Public Works Act of 1954," provided for payment by the United States for all water and water services furnished within the District of Columbia at the rates applicable to other consumers in the District of Columbia. For water used outside the District, the rates applicable are those charged to the respective local jurisdictions within which the Federal facilities are situated. Operations and results during the fiscal year. An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columbia; Arlington County, and Falls Church, Virginia; and to Federal establishments in the District of Columbia, Arlington County, Virginia, and Montgomery and Prince Georges counties in Maryland. Total consumption for the year was 70,338 million gallons; the maximum daily consumption was 257.5 million gallons and average daily consumption was 192.7 million gallons. Average per capita consumption was 180.4 gallons per day. The average amount furnished Arlington County and Falls Church, Virginia, was 40.3 million gallons per day. The D.C. Water Fund was reimbursed in the amount of $1,915,383 for water furnished to the Virginia communities. Maryland communities were supplied an average of 23,562 gallons per day during fiscal year 1975 by the District of Columbia through connections to the Washington Surburban Sanitary Commission system. On June 23, 1952, fluoridation equipment was placed in service. The application of fluoride to the water supply has been continuous since that date. Average turbidity of raw water from the Potomac River was 31 Jackson Units and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria was 27,565. After treatment, the average turbidity of the filtered water was 0.15 and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was 0.15. The average calcium carbonate alkalinity of the filtered water was 67 P.P.M. and the average pH value was 7.9. Average hardness was 130 P.P.M. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 129,101 tubes of Lactose broth inoculated with water taken from 228 sampling points in the collection, purification, and distribution systems. Approximately 94,820 physical and chemical tests were made on 10,922 water samples from the supply and distribution system. Fluoride content of 3,848 water samples was determined. During fiscal year 1975, direct operating costs of water treated and delivered to system per million gallons was $87.72. Similar costs during fiscal year 1974 were $69.79 per million gallons. Visitors. During the year, 1,384 persons toured the water supply facilities, including 10 from foreign countries. Control. All funds were expended in conformity with legislative provision contained in the annual appropriation act which is as follows: "Nothing herein shall be construed as affecting the superintendence and control of the Secretary of the Army over the Washington Aqueduct, its rights, appurtenances, and fixtures connected with the same, and over appropriations and expenditures therefore as now provided by law." Condition at end of fiscal year. The intakes, conduits, reservoirs, filter plants, pumping stations, mechanical equipment, and structures were generally in good condition. During maximum demand periods, the Little Falls raw water pumping station was operated to augment the raw water supply provided by the gravityflow conduits. Construction work authorized with "no year" funds not previously reported as completed was as follows: New shops and storehouses, Dalecarlia, 52%; Great Falls intake structure, 100 percent, flood and water quality protection, Dalecarlia, 99 percent; emergency pumping from Potomac River estuary, 11 percent. 4-25 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 COST AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT TABLE 4-A See Section in Text Project Funding FY 72 FY 73 Total Cost to FY 74 FY 75 30 June 1975 1.

Aberdeen Creek is a tidal estuary entering the northeast side of York River about 10 miles upstream from Yorktown, Va., and 17 miles downstream from West Point, Va. The Creek lies in the center of and entirely within Gloucester County. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 78 and 498.) Previous projects. For details, see page 356 of Annual Report for 1962. Existing project. This provides for a channel 6 feet deep at mean low water and 80 feet wide from that depth in York River into Aberdeen Creek for a distance of about 0.9 mile with a turning basin of the same depth, 400 feet wide and 450 feet long at the upper end. The mean range of tide is about 2.4 feet with estimated variations, induced by storms, of from 2.5 feet below to 7 feet above mean low water. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details, see page 356 of Annual Report for 1962. Terminal facilities. There are several small privately owned docks of wooden construction located on Aberdeen Creek and an oyster shucking house with a dock at the upper end of the turning basin. Limited transfer facilities are available at this dock. A marine railway is also located on the creek. With the construction of the public dock required by local cooperation, these facilities are considered adequate for present and reasonable prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. A maintenance dredging contract commencing on October 21, 1974 was completed November 1, 1974. There were removed 50,426 cubic yards of credited material at a direct cost of $113,063. Maintenance engineering and design, and supervision and administration amounted to $12,953. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was completed October 20, 1962. Periodic maintenance dredging will continue to maintain full project dimensions. 2.

It also provides channels 10 feet deep at mean low water and 80 to 100 feet wide in Deep Creek, 3.1 miles, Turners Cut, 4.3 miles, and Pasquotank River, 35.1 miles; maintaining Dismal Swamp Canal, 22.1 miles, to about 9 feet deep mean canal level over a width of 50 feet; protection of banks in Turners Cut with sheet piling, and cutting certain sharp points in Pasquotank River to shorten its course. (See Table 5-C at end of chapter on Data Relative to Completed Locks included in Project.) Project includes operating and care of completed locks, dams, and bridges, under maintenance. Southern Branch of Elizabeth River and Deep Creek sections of the two routes are tidal, mean range being about 3 feet with extremes of minus 3.5 and plus 9.6 feet. Remaining sections are nontidal with fluctuations of 1 to 2 feet in level due to winds. Cost for new work for completed project was $3,396,276. Protection to canal property at Great Bridge portion is considered inactive and excluded from foregoing cost. Estimated cost of this portion (1954) is $265,000. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Existing facilities are considered adequate. See Annual Report for 1970. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and ordinary maintenance of the project, consisting of real estate management services, condition and operation studies operation and care of locks, bridges, spillways, 5-2 NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT wharves, canal plant, grounds, roads, buildings, etc., with Government plant and hired labor, were carried on during the year at a cost of $881,679. A contract for the lock area lighting at Great Bridge Reservation awarded in fiscal year 1974 was completed on November 25, 1974 at a cost of $17,585. A contract for water distribution and service lines at Great Bridge Reservation awarded in fiscal year 1974 was completed on May 9, 1975 at a cost of $88,572. In addition, $6,386 was incurred for installation of a new water meter for the City of Chesapeake. A contract to modernize the vehicular traffic control system at Great Bridge was completed on January 3, 1975, at a cost of $7,350. Permanent operating equipment to be used on both routes, was purchased at a direct cost of $16,463. Maintenance snagging and bank trimming operations, with Government plant and hired labor, were carried on at several locations on both routes intermittently at a direct cost of $20,503. Maintenance repairs to bulkheads on both routes, with Government plant and hired labor, were accomplished at a direct cost of $2,036. Maintenance engineering and design, supervision and administration and real estate activity costs, less credits for collections for quarters and damages to Government property, amounted to $54,276. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is complete. For construction details, see Annual Report for 1966. Periodic maintenance dredging is being done to maintain full project dimensions on the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Route and about a 7-foot usable depth on the Dismal Swamp Canal Route which is considered adequate for existing traffic. 3. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL, VA. Location. Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in Norfolk District. Areas in which there are significant aquatic plant nuisance problems include: Back Bay-Eurasian Water Milfoil; Rappahannock River - Eurasian Water Milfoil; City of Norfolk-Sea Lettuce; and Chickahominy River-Elodea. 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, to be administered by the Chief of Engineers, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies. Local cooperation. Local interests must agree to hold the United States free from damages that may occur from operations performed in connection with his project, and participate to extent of 30 percent of cost of program. Operations and results during fiscal year. In order to evaluate the effects of the July 1973 herbicide application, on the Walker Dam Impoundment, Chickahominy River, Virginia two aquatic plant research projects are continuing. The first project, entitled "Aquatic plant control using herbicides in a large potable water supply reservoir" is being conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University with a funding level of $15,000 per year for a period of three years. The second research effort, entitled "A determination of the effects on phytoplankton and other selected parameters induced by an herbicide application to Chickahominy Reservoir," is being conducted by the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries on a cost-sharing basis for a period of three years. The total Federal share of this project is $30,000. Conditions at end of fiscal year. The second of three years of each of the two projects referenced above has been completed. On continuing basis, the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the reservoir after herbicide application are being monitored. It is anticipated that the research efforts underway will evaluate the ecological and physiological changes associated with the herbicide application. The information derived from these studies will provide much needed data regarding the applicability of treatment methods to other similarly affected waters, as well as providing substantial information regarding the 5-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 employment of diquat and potassium endothall in potable waters. 4. BALTIMORE HARBOR AND CHANNELS (NORFOLK DISTRICT) Existing project provides for deep water approach channels in Chesapeake Bay and branch channels in Baltimore Harbor.

RECONNAISSANCE AND CONDITION SURVEYS (See Table 5-D at end of chapter.) 22. OTHER AUTHORIZED NAVIGATION PROJECTS (See Table 5-E at end of chapter.) 23. NAVIGATION WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Navigation Activities Pursuant to Section 107, Public Law 645. 86th Congress (Preauthorization). Four reconnaissance reports, Jarvis Creek, Northumberland County, Onancock River, Accomack County, Powhatan Creek, James City County, and Tangier Channel and Basin, Accomack County, Virginia were in progress at the end of the fiscal year. Beach Erosion Control 24. VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Location. On Atlantic seaboard, 22 miles north of Virginia-North Carolina State line, 3.5 miles south of Cape Henry, and 19 miles east of Norfolk, Va. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1227.) Existing project. Federal participation in restoration and protection of shore of Virginia Beach between Rudee Inlet and 49th Street by artifical placement of sand to provide a minimum beach width of 100 feet at elevation 7 feet above mean low water, and maintenance of such beach by periodic replenishment of losses to insure continuous protection; including construction of a groin system to be undertaken at such times as estimated annual charges therewith would be less than the annual cost of beach replenishment alone. The United States shall participate in the first cost of the project to the full extent of its proportionate share of cost as a landowner, plus one third total first cost of restoring and protecting all publicly-owned sections of the shore. The 1962 modification provided that the United States shall further participate in periodic beach nourishment of the beach in the amount of one third the costs for 25 years from date of commencement of operations in placing an initial quantity of nourishment material equal to deficiency in the design beach at that time. Section 103 of the 1962 River and Harbor Act increased Federal participation to one-half of the cost incurred after October 23, 1962. Estimated Federal cost (1975) is $4,480,000. Estimated cost to local interests is $4,490,000. Construction of 5-15 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 the groin system is not included in above estimate. The 1962 estimate for this work was $549,000 Federal cost and $531,000 cost to local interests. (See Table 5-B for Authorized Legislation.) Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of September 3, 1954, imposed conditions that local interests (a) adopt plan of restoration and protection; (b) submit for approval by the Chief of Engineers, before commencement of work, detailed plans and specifications for the project and also arrangements for prosecuting the work; (c) assure maintenance of protective and improvement measurements during their useful life as may be required to serve their intended purpose; (d) provide all lands and rights-of-way; hold the United States free from damages; (e) assure that water pollution that would endanger the health of bathers will not be permitted; and (f) assure continued public ownership of the shore upon which the amount of Federal participation is based, and its administration for public use only. The modification of the project by the River and Harbor Act of October 23, 1962, continued the terms of local cooperation specified in the original project. The conditions of local cooperation have been complied with in the initial beach restoration and in the nourishment program to date. Conditions pertaining to construction of groins have not been complied with. A formal agreement with the cooperating agency (City of Virginia Beach and the Virginia Beach Erosion Commission) for the initial beach restoration was entered into on October 19, 1955. An amendment to the original agreement, covering periodic nourishment, was entered into on November 1, 1963. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Sand was stockpiled at Fort Story at a Federal cost of $228,809 and $153,640 non- Federal cost. Condition at end of fiscal year. Beach restoration by local interests was commenced in June 1952 and completed in August 1953. Construction of groins has been deferred indefinitely. Local interests acquired their own dredging plant and borrow areas and replenished the beach until 1975 when the borrow areas could not be extended. During fiscal year 1975 a 3-year supply of beach nourishment material was stockpiled at nearby Fort Story to be transported to the beach by local interests. 25. BEACH EROSION CONTROL UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Beach Erosion Control Activities Pursuant to Section 103, Public Law 645, 86th Congress (Preauthorization) Work was accomplished on two planning reports as follow: (a) Anderson Park, Newport News, Virginia, a negative detailed project report was completed when the city of Newport News could not furnish the necessary cash contributions. (b) Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia, a detailed project report was completed. Flood Control 26. GATHRIGHT LAKE, JAMES RIVER BASIN, VA. Location.

Kerr Dam and Reservoir and Philpott Lake projects, Roanoke River Basin, Virginia and North Carolina, began Fiscal Year 1975 with both reservoirs slightly above rule curve. At the beginning of the fiscal year, Kerr Reservoir was at elevation 299.76 feet, mean sea level, or about 0.3 foot above rule curve. The reservoir fell to near elevation 296 by July 7 and fluctuated below the rule curve until September 5, at which time it rapidly rose to elevation 305.33 by September 10. The level was drawn down to near rule curve at elevation 299.74 by September 30 and fluctuated above and below the rule curve until November 12. At this time a heavy demand for power caused a drawdown from which the low elevation for the year was reached at 286.90 on December 4. The reservoir rose in December and was near rule -curve by January 1, 1975, and continued to rise until it reached elevation 302.00 on January 17. With above normal rainfall in January and February, Kerr Lake level remained well above rule curve, but gradually dropped until March 11. Very heavy rainfall began on this date which later caused the reservoir to rise to a new maximum elevation of record at 316.84 on March 24, only to be exceeded 10 days later on April 3 at elevation 318.85. By May 1, the reservoir was lowered to within a foot of rule curve. For the month of May, Kerr Lake level ranged between elevation 301.89 and 304.03, and was drawn down to within 0.4 foot of rule curve on June 30 at elevation 299.87, Philpott Lake level remained relatively near rule curve for a major portion of the fiscal year. The lake elevation of 974.27 feet, mean sea level, at the beginning of the fiscal year was about 0.8 foot above rule curve and fluctuated near, but mostly below rule curve until September 5. The lake rose to an elevation of 973.68 on September 12, or about 1.5 feet above rule curve. The level remained near rule curve from the latter portion of September, until December 6 with the lowest elevation for the year occurring on November 29 at elevation 971.01. From about December 8 to the end of the fiscal year, Philpott Lake level fluctuated about 1 foot above rule curve with the exception of a couple of periods of somewhat higher levels. The highest level for the year occurred on March 20 at elevation 979.18 which was the second highest elevation of record. The lake was at elevation 974.08 on 30 June 1975 or about 0.6 foot above rule curve. In the Roanoke River below Kerr Dam, a minimum stage of 13 feet was provided at Weldon, N.C., during the entire striped bass spawning season. All inflows to Kerr Reservoir and Philpott Lake were controlled without having to spill water over the spillways or through the sluices. A large amount of dump energy was sold at Kerr and Philpott during the March-April flood periods. Gross generation amounts for the 6-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 year at Kerr and Philpott projects, respectively were 613,702,900 kilowatt-hours and 31,649,300 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. Maximum of record monthly energy amounts were generated in August at Kerr project and in March at Philpott. Total cost of functional operation for the fiscal year was $66,108 for John H. Kerr project and $14,300 for Philpott. General Investigations 46. SURVEYS Fiscal year cost was $248,539, of which $69,326 was for navigation studies; $162,221 was for flood control studies; $4,492 for beach erosion studies; $2,000 for soil conservation service; $5,500 for deauthorization review and $5,000 for cooperation with States. 47. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA Flood plain information studies, as authorized by Section 206, 1960 Flood Control Act, as amended, comprise compilation and dissemination, upon the request of a State or a political subdivision thereof, of information on floods and flood damages, including identification of areas subject to inundation by floods of various magnitudes and frequencies, and general criteria for guidance of Federal and non-Federal interests and agencies in the use of flood-plain areas; and provide advice to other Federal agencies and local interests for their use in planning to ameliorate the flood hazard. Total costs for the fiscal year were $290,092. Total costs to June 30, 1975 were $1,446,899.

The project areas include navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in the Charleston District. Existing project. The project provides for control and progressive eradication of waterhyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasian watermilfoil and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters of the United States, in combined interest of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies in accordance with report of Chief of Engineers. The act provides that research and planning cost shall be borne fully by the United States. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. Local interests must agree to hold the United States free from damages that may occur from operations performed in connection with this project, and participate to extent of 30 percent of cost of field operations. Requirements are being met in South Carolina. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: The spraying operations began on 2 July 1974 and ended on 12 September 1974. Spraying operations during the following season began on 30 June 1975. During this period, approximately 30 miles of the Black River, 17 miles of the North Fork Edisto River, 15 miles of the Little Pee Dee River, and 10 miles of the Black Mingo Creek were treated. Alligatorweed flea beetles were abundant on each of the project streams during late summer. The herbicide was applied to only those mats of alligatorweed which exhibited little or no flea beetle damage. Costs incurred were $18,726 for engineering and $5,620 for operations. Condition at end of fiscal year. The combination of herbicides, alligatorweed flea beetles and flooding have resulted in the effective control of alligatorweed on the project streams. 3. ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BETWEEN NORFOLK, VA., AND ST. JOHNS RIVER, FLA. (CHARLESTON DISTRICT) Location. The project starts on Little River near the North Carolina-South Carolina State line and extends generally south along the coast of South Carolina 62 miles to Winyah Bay; thence 63.5 miles to Charleston; thence 84.5 miles to and including Port Royal Sound; a total of 210 miles. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 835, 836 and 838.) Previous projects. For further details see page 613 of Annual Report for 1932. Existing project. The project provides for a waterway 12 feet deep and not less than 90 feet wide with a branch channel of the same dimensions to McClellanville, and construction of three bridges crossing the waterway in Horry County, South Carolina.

A 40-foot channel estimated to cost $6,060,000 was authorized to be executed when found necessary in the interests of national defense from the 40- foot contour in Atlantic Ocean to U. S. Naval Base. For further details see page 425 of Annual Report for 1962. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied with their responsibility to date but are experiencing difficulty in securing suitable disposal areas for dredged material for continued future maintenance. Terminal facilities. Piers and slips extend for about 1 mile along the eastern waterfront of the City of Charleston with an additional mile of marginal wharves. The South Carolina State Ports Authority operates 8 piers for fruit, wood, cold storage facilities and general cargo, a grain elevator and a beltline railway which serves the entire Cooper River waterfront. Modern facilities are also at wharves of 7 major petroleum companies including storage tank farms. Modern facilities for marine repairs and servicing are available at Detyens Shipyard, located approximately 10 miles northeast of Charleston on the Wando River. The U.S. Navy Department has modern facilities for construction and maintenance of naval vessels including atomic submarines. Loading docks and storage areas for missile-carrying type vessels have also been constructed and are being operated by the U.S. Navy. For further details see Port Series No. 13, Corps of Engineers.

Federal costs under the existing project to date have been $3,328,349 for new work and $42,750,- 079 for maintenance, a total of $46,078,428. 5. COOPER RIVER, CHARLESTON HARBOR, S. C. (ST. STEPHEN PROJECT) Location. Cooper River is located in Charleston and Berkeley Counties, S.C., and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Charleston. Existing project. The major cause of the shoaling problem in Charleston Harbor is the diversion of fresh water from the Santee River through Pinopolis Dam into the salt water of Charleston Harbor, causing density currents which trap sediments resulting in a phenomenal rate of deposition. The most practical and economical solution of the shoaling problem is to redivert most of the Santee River waters above Pinopolis Dam back into the lower Santee River through a canal beginning at Lake Moultrie and extending to the Santee River in the vicinity of St. Stephen, South Carolina. The existing project for Cooper River as authorized by the River and Harbor Act (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Projects) provides that the discharge through the existing Pinopolis Hydro Plant be reduced to an average of 3,000 cubic feet per second. This flow would not establish a density current in the harbor. The excess water then impounded in Lake Moultrie would be directed through a new canal above St. Stephen, South Carolina, to enter the Santee River at a point well below the Lake Marion Spillway (Wilson Dam). A new hydroelectric facility would be constructed on the new canal where the ground elevations decrease to become swampland adjacent to the Santee River. This plant would replace those 7-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 features made ineffective at Pinopolis through Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities at the curtailment of flows. The power production flow port of Georgetown, suitable for oceangoing of 24,500 cfs at the new powerplant, plus the vessels, consist of one marginal concrete pier and proposed 3,000 cfs average release planned for one of creosoted-timber construction. For Pinopolis, would approximate the existing total intracoastal waterway traffic there are a number Pinopolis flow capacity. The three generators at of smaller wharves and landings along the the new plant would be rated at 28,000 kilowatts Georgetown waterfront on the old channel. For each, for a total of 84,000 kilowatts. In the interest further details see Port Series No. 13, 1970, Corps of fish and wildlife resources of the area, the plan of Engineers. would also provide for construction of a herring Operations and results during fiscal lift at the new powerhouse site and a relocated year.

LITTLE RIVER INLET, N. C. AND S. C. Location. The project is located near the North Carolina-South Carolina state line. Little River enters the Atlantic Ocean at Little River Inlet at the state line and affords the only connection between the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the ocean along 68 miles of coastline between Shallotte, N.C., to Georgetown, S.C. Existing project. The project provides for an entrance channel 12 by 300 feet across the ocean bar; thence a 10 by 90-foot inner channel to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The entrance channel would be stabilized by jetties extending seaward 3,200 feet and 3,000 feet long on the north and south sides of the inlet, respectively. Estimated costs of the project (1974) is $9,550,000 Federal cost and $1,890,000 non- Federal cost ($850,000 contributed funds and $1,040,000 for lands.) Local cooperation. In a letter dated 26 April 1971, the Horry County (South Carolina) Planning and Promotion Commission gave assurances of cooperation. Since certain lands to be furnished by non-Federal interests lie in North Carolina, a letter dated 4 August 1971 has been supplied by 7-4 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT the Brunswick County (North Carolina) Commissioners, agreeing to provide to the United States the necessary project lands lying in North Carolina. Terminal facilities. There are seven marinas, numerous private docks, and several public boat ramps located in or near Little River.

Dredging of the ocean bar was completed in FY 74, and Town Creek was dredged in FY 75. Cost incurred during FY 75 was $132,340, includes $8,600 contributed funds. Work was completed on a favorable Reconnaissance Report and work was initiated on the detailed study on Folly River, Charleston County, S. C., during the fiscal year at a cost of $9,142. 15. NAVIGATION WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Snagging and clearing for navigation (Sec. 3 of 1945 River and Harbor Act, Public Law 14, 79th Cong.) Fiscal year cost was $9,572 for Little River, Horry County, S. C. Beach Erosion Control 16. HUNTING ISLAND BEACH, S. C. Location. Hunting Island is a state park comprising about 1,850 acres of wooded land and is located along the southeastern shore of South Carolina in Beaufort County, 16 miles east of the town of Beaufort, 9 miles southwest of Edisto Beach, and 35 miles northeast of Tybee Roads at the mouth of Savannah River. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Chart No. 793.) Existing project. The authorized project provides for periodic nourishment of about 10,000 feet of beach on the northern part of the island with initial placement of 750,000 cubic yards of sand for advance nourishment, and construction of one prestressed concrete groin at the north end of the island. Federal participation in periodic nourishment is limited to a period of 10 years. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. All requirements of local cooperation have been met by the State of South Carolina and accepted by the Chief of Engineers. The state contributed 30 percent of the cost of the initial project construction and a similar percentage of the costs of the first periodic nourishment which was done between May 1971 and August 1971. Funds were appropriated for a second renourishment in FY 74 and matching funds 7-6 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT were received to cover the State's share of the total cost. The contract for the work was not let in FY 74 since all bid amounts exceeded the Government estimate by an unacceptable amount. Operations and results during the fiscal year. Following a second advertisement for renourishment, bids were opened on 26 November 1974 and the contract was awarded on 5 December 1974. Work was started in February 1975 and completed in June 1975. FY 75 expenditures were $627,656 including construction cost. Condition at end of fiscal year. The first two renourishments were designed to restore the feeder beach to the condition prevailing after the initial beach nourishment. These renourishments were completed in August 1971 and June 1975. Total Federal cost for the project through 30 June 1975 was $1,450,328 (excluding $603,778 contributed funds). 17. BEACH EROSION CONTROL UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Activities Pursuant to Section 103, Public Law 87-874 (Preauthorization). The reconnaissance report on Edisto Beach and the detailed study of Pawleys Island were completed during FY 75. In FY 75, $1,872 was spent on Edisto Beach and $1,952 was spent on Pawleys Island. Work was also done on the Sullivans Island Reconnaissance Report with costs creditable to FY 76. Flood Control 18. YADKIN RIVER, N. C. Location. The river rises on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, flows generally easterly about 100 miles to the vicinity of Donnaha, North Carolina, thence southeasterly 104 miles to its confluence with Uwharrie River near Badin, North Carolina, where its name changes to Great Pee Dee River. (See U.S. Geological survey map of North Carolina.) Existing project. The Flood Control Act of July 24, 1946, authorized construction of four floodcontrol dams in the upper Yadkin River Basin, two on the Yadkin River above Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and two on Reddies River, a tributary stream. Studies made subsequent to authorization established the economic advantage of providing needed flood-control storage in only two reservoirs, one on the Reddies and one on the Yadkin. Present planning considers only the tworeservoir plan. Cost for the Yadkin River Reservoir (W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir constructed 1962) and for Reddies River Lake is set forth in Table 7-D. (See Table at End of Chapter for Authorizing Legislation.) Funds of $131,500 were expended on the Reddies River Lake Project for project planning and preparation of a definite project report which was completed in March 1950. An economic restudy of the Reddies River Lake Project was submitted and approved in July 1968. Individual reports on W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir and Reddies River Lake Project follow. 18A. W. KERR SCOTT DAM AND RESERVOIR, YADKIN RIVER, N. C. Location. W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir is on Yadkin River, North Carolina, about 6 miles upstream from Wilkesboro. At full flood-control pool elevation (1,075 feet mean sea level), the reservoir extends 15.7 miles upstream to Wilkes- Caldwell County line. Existing project. The project consists of a rolled earthfill dam 1,740 feet long, with top of dam at elevation 1,107.5 feet mean sea level, or about 148 feet above streambed elevation; a spillway near the north abutment of the dam in a rock cut with crest elevation 1,075; and outlet works consisting of an intake structure, control tower, and a circular concrete conduit 12.25 feet in diameter through the base of the dam near the south abutment. The 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 8,000 acre-feet being contained in the minimum pool. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details see page 413 of Annual Report for 1963. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: None. Maintenance: Operation and maintenance cost $435,785. During the fiscal year the project had a visitation of 843,927. All recreation facilities continue to be utilized beyond their maximum capabilities during fair weather. Acquisition of additional lands and construction of recreational facilities authorized under the Appalachia Program has resulted in the project having the capability to accommodate approximately 250,000 additional visitors annually. The majority of visitor requirements continues to be for camping and picnicking facilities. Flood control storage was utilized seven times during FY 75. Floods in March and June were of sufficient magnitude that downstream flooding was significantly reduced as a result of the project operation. During March, three floods occurred. Maximum pool elevation attained for the most severe flood was 7-7 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 1047.3. This is a rise of 17.3 feet above normal pool elevation of 1030.0. Two less severe floods occurred in June. The maximum pool elevation attained for these floods was 1035.3. Estimated flood damages prevented by the project for all floods in FY 75 were $3,376,000. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was commenced in August 1960 and placed in operation for flood control and water storage purposes in February 1963. 18B. REDDIES RIVER LAKE, N.C. Location. Reddies River flows into the Yadkin River near the town of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, and is a tributary to the Yadkin-Pee Dee River. The authorized lake and damsite are located entirely in Wilkes County, North Carolina. Existing project. Reddies River Lake is the second unit in the authorized plan for the upper Yadkin River Basin. The first unit, W. Kerr Scott Reservoir, is located about 5 miles upstream from the mouth of the Reddies River and was completed in 1962. The Reddies damsite is located on Reddies River at mile 1.7, near the town of North Wilkesboro. Total tributary area above the damsite is 94.5 square miles. Project works contemplate construction of a rolled-earth dam about 165 feet high with a saddle spillway and a gated outlet conduit. The conservation pool will cover about 680 acres and the flood control pool about 1,335 acres. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1946; however, the project was deferred for restudy in 1950. An economic restudy was submitted in FY 69 and approved in FY 70. Preconstruction planning funds were appropriated in FY 70, but the funds were held in budgetary reserve throughout FY 70. Work began in January 1971 on the General Design Memorandum and Phase I was completed in March 1975. The Site Selection Design Memorandum was completed in May 1972 while the Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis Design Memorandum was completed in March 1973. A public meeting was held in October 1972 to solicit the public's views on this project. Phase II General Design Memorandum is scheduled for completion in April 1977. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Estimated cost of the project (1973) is $22,200,000 of which $4,812,000 is reimbursable for water supply under the Water Supply Act of 1958, and $1,950,000 for recreation. Local cooperation. The State of North Carolina was requested to reaffirm their earlier letters of intent to fulfill the local cooperation requirements necessary for water supply and development of recreation facilities. The State replied favorably in September 1974 concerning local cooperation for recreation and in November 1974 concerning water supply. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Preliminary planning for advanced engineering and design is continuing. Engineering and design costs were $90,280; supervision and administration costs were $19,239. Condition at end of fiscal year. Advanced planning studies are underway. 19. SUGAR AND BRIAR CREEKS, N; C. (Little Sugar Creek, Charlotte, N. C.) Location. Little Sugar Creek, a tributary of Sugar Creek has its source about one-half mile northwest of the Charlotte, North Carolina, city limits whence it flows generally southwest through the eastern portion of Charlotte, for a distance of about 11 miles, continuing southwardly about 7 miles to its confluence with Sugar Creek near the North Carolina-South Carolina State line. Briar Creek, a tributary of Little Sugar Creek, has its source near the Charlotte city limits, whence it flows southwesterly a distance of about 9 miles through the eastern portion of Charlotte to its confluence with Little Sugar Creek near the southerly city limits of Charlotte. Existing project. Originally, the project provided for channelization of Little Sugar and Briar Creeks for a combined distance of 7.6 miles beginning at Archdale Drive near the southerly city limits and continuing northeast to Princeton Avenue on Little Sugar Creek and to Randolph Road on Briar Creek. The Little Sugar Creek channel would have a 50-foot wide bottom from Archdale Drive to the Briar Creek confluence and 40-foot wide bottom to the upstream limit. Briar Creek would have a 30-foot bottom width throughout the project length. Briar Creek portion was deleted in September, 1970 at the request of local interests. Briar Creek portion has been placed in an inactive status at the request of local interest. (See Table at End of Chapter for Acts Authorizing Existing Project.) Local cooperation. Local interest must provide lands, easements, rights-of-way, utility relocations and alterations, and highway or highway-bridge construction and alterations necessary for construction; hold the United States free from damages; maintain and operate the project after completion; prevent future encroachment and notify affected interests annually that the improvement will not provide complete flood protection. 7-8 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT Operations and results during fiscal year. Coordination continued with representatives of local interests for lands, easements, and rights-of-way. The project is in the preconstruction planning stage. Fiscal year cost was $71,396.

Prior projects for the Altamaha River have been adopted, and expenditures made under them, by River and Harbor Acts of March 3, 1881, and September 19, 1890; for the Oconee River by River and Harbor Acts of June 18, 1878, September 19, 1890, and March 3, 1905; for the Ocmulgee River, by River and Harbor Acts of August 14, 1876, and September 19, 1890. * All costs and financial statements for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. Other tables referenced in the text also appear at the end of this chapter. 8-1 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 For further details, see page 1815, Annual Report for 1915, and page 589, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. The authorized project provides for an appropriation of $40,000 annually for the Altamaha, Oconee, and Ocmulgee Rivers, to maintain a 3-foot depth during ordinary summer low water and to gradually increase channel depth, so far as practicable without sacrificing the maintenance work. This project covers the entire Altamaha River (including a channel between the river and Darien, Ga.), a length of 137 miles, the lower 139 miles of the Oconee River, and the lower 199 miles of the Ocmulgee River. The Altamaha River has a mean tidal range of 6.4 feet at its mouth which gradually decreases to mile 33 above, where there is no perceptible tidal effect. At Doctortown, mile 59, ordinary floods attain a height of about 10 feet above low water, and extreme floods, a height of about 15 feet above low water. On the Oconee River at Dublin the ordinary fluctuations attain a height of 22 feet, and the extreme fluctuations a height of 32 feet, above low water. On the Ocmulgee River at Macon the ordinary fluctuations attain a height of 15 feet, and the extreme fluctuations a height of 25 feet, above low water. There is no approved estimated cost for improvement or for maintenance. Published maps of these rivers are in the following documents: Altamaha River, House Executive Document 283, Fifty-first Congress, second session; Oconee River, House Executive Document 211, Fifty-first Congress, first session; Ocmulgee River, House Executive Document 215, Fifty-first Congress, first session; and Lower Altamaha River and Darien Harbor, Ga., House Document 610, Seventy-seventh Congress, second session. (See Table 8-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Along these rivers there are numerous natural shore landings which 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: Hired labor snagging work was performed by crane barge No. 2 with towboat Tomkins and during period February 18, 1975 to May 18,1975 removed 3,705 snags at a cost of $55,- 823. This snagging was performed with contributed funds from Georgia Power Company. Other cost incurred, including condition and operation studies, hydrographic surveys, and water pollution and environmental studies, amounted to $2,330. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 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. The draft Environmental Impact Statement was filed with CEQ on July 11, 1975. To June 30, 1975, costs under the existing project were $60,847 for new work and $1,707,587 for maintenance, of which $69,356 were contributed funds, a total of $1,768,434. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 2. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL Location. Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in Savannah District. Existing project. The project provides for control and progressive eradication of waterhyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasian water milfoil, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths, from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters of the United States, in the combined interests of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies in accordance with report of Chief of Engineers, House Document 251, 89th Congress, 1st session. The authorizing act provides that research and planning costs shall be borne fully by the United States. (See Table 8-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Local interests must agree to hold the United States free from damages that may occur from operations performed in connection with this project and participate to the extent of 30 percent of the cost of the program. Requirements are being met. Operations and results during fiscal year. Georgia Game and Fish Commission, who maintain surveillance of potential aquatic plant problem areas, reported aquatic plant infestation in the Satilla River and in other river basins in the State of Georgia. Cost during the fiscal year was $999. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 8-2 SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT 3. ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BETWEEN NORFOLK VA., AND THE ST. JOHNS RIVER, FLA. (SAVANNAH DISTRICT) Location. This 161 mile section of waterway connects Port Royal Sound, S. C., with Cumberland Sound, Ga. and Fla. (See NOAA charts 11489 - 11507, formerly Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 838-841, inclusive.) Previous projects. (Between Savannah, Ga., and Fernandina, Fla.) For details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. The project provides for a waterway 12 feet deep at mean low water and not less than 90 feet wide between Port Royal Sound, S.C., and Savannah, Ga.; 12 feet deep at mean low water, with widths of 90 feet in land cuts and narrow streams and 150 feet in open waters, between Savannah, Ga., and Cumberland Sound, Ga. and Fla.; and a suitable anchorage basin at Thunderbolt, Georgia. Mean tidal range between Port Royal, S. C., and Cumberland Sound, Ga. and Fla., is from 6 to 8 feet, with fluctuations from 1 and one-half to 2 and one-half feet, due to winds and lunar phases. (See Table 8-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Exclusive of adequate terminal facilities at ports of entry, this improvement serves numerous wharves, some of which are open to the public on equal terms. Facilities are considered ample for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Government cost for preparation of plans and specifications for dredging in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway to be advertised early in the next fiscal year amounted to $20,671. The government cost for condition and operation studies, water pollution and environmental studies amounted to $51,862. Survey of waterway and inspection reports amounted to $232. District overhead and other miscellaneous costs amounted to $8,358. Total cost for the year amounted to $81,123. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) Condition at end of fiscal year. The main channel of the existing project, completed in 1941, is maintained at 12 feet. The former main channel, now an alternate route through the westerly end of the South Channel and northerly end of Wilmington River, will be maintained to a depth of 7 feet mean low water for traffic points north and south of Savannah Harbor. The draft Environmental Impact Statement was filed with CEQ on February 25, 1975. Costs of the existing completed project to June 30, 1975, were $763,599 for new work and $9,098,- 692 for maintenance, a total of $9,862,291. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 4. BRUNSWICK HARBOR, GA. Location. The Harbor entrance is 70 statute miles south of the entrance to Savannah Harbor, Ga., and 25 statute miles north of the entrance to Fernandina Harbor, Florida. (See NOAA Chart 11215, formerly Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 447.) Previous projects. For details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. Existing project. The project provides for a stone jetty 4,350 feet long at the entrance to East River and the following channels: 32 feet deep and 500 feet wide across the bar; 30 feet deep and 400 feet wide through St. Simons Sound, Brunswick River, and East River to the foot of Second Avenue; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide in Turtle River to the Allied Chemical Co. wharf, formerly the Atlantic Refining Co.; 27 feet deep and 350 feet wide in East River from Second Avenue to its confluence with Academy Creek; 24 feet deep and 150 feet wide in Academy Creek; a channel in Back River 20 feet deep and 150 feet wide from St. Simon Sound to the mouth of Mill Creek; and a channel in Terry Creek 10 feet deep and 80 feet wide from its mouth to a point immediately above the wharf of Glynri Canning Company. All depths refer to mean low water. Mean tidal range on the bar is 6.5 feet, at the city of Brunswick 7.3 feet, and 7.6 feet at the upper end of the harbor. For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Complied with to date. Terminal facilities. Twenty-eight wharves and piers, almost all privately owned, have a berthing space of 11,444 feet. In addition, the Port of Brunswick and the State of Georgia have a transit shed and modern docks with 1,500 feet of aprons on East River. A tank farm for handling residual oil has been constructed on Brunswick Port Authorities' property. For further details see-Port Series No. 14, Corps of Engineers (revised 1972). Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: The U.S. sidecaster dredge Schweizer removed 81,370 cubic yards of material from the bar channel during the period of April 10, 1975 to May 15, 1975 at a total cost of $49,596, including inspection, overhead, and other government costs.

During FY 75 the Oconee River Basin Flood Plain Information Pilot Study - Phase I was initiated. The study is the first of its kind for the Corps of Engineers. It is intended to address the flood plains, within the study limits, in various degrees of detail necessary to identify flood potential and the impacts thereof. Throughout the fiscal year the Flood Plain Management Services also conducted Flood Insurance Studies for the Federal Insurance Administration. (See Table 8- G for Flood Plain Studies completed during FY.) 21.

Regulation. (A) General Fiscal Year 1975 started as a severe drought was ending in South Florida. Heavy rains began in the last week of June 1974 and continued through August causing a complete turn about in the hydrologic conditions in the lower half of the state. The south Florida area went from a condition of drought to that of an over abundance of water in a six-week period. Lake Okeechobee rose from an elevation of 11.1 feet on June 23 to 15.4 on August 7 and remained above schedule for three months despite regulatory discharges to Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie Canal. The Caloosahatchee outlet was opened from July 23 to September 15, releasing 712,039 acre-feet to the Gulf. St. Lucie outlet was open from July 30 until August 21 discharging an additional 246,564 acre-feet to the east coast. The combine regulatory discharge, including flow to the south through the agriculture canal, was 1,099,000 acre-feet. Water deliveries to Everglades National Park from July through September was four times the minimum required for water supply. The total delivery for the year was 477,200 acre-feet. Then as rapidly as the rains began in June they stopped in September. Water levels began a steady decline that was not reversed until mid-May 1975. Over south Florida, the January through April rainfall was less than 25 percent of normal. However, owing to the preceding wet summer and fall, the spring dry conditions were not nearly as severe as those experienced in 1973 and 1974. (B) Corps of Engineers. (1) Lake Okee.chobee. The water level in Lake Okeechobee began a four-foot rise in the last week of June which continued through July. The lake was above regulation schedule from July 23 to September 15 thus requiring releases for Flood Control. At the beginning of the fiscal year the 9-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 lake was at elevation 12.23 feet m.s.l., about one foot below normal. From there it continued rising to a yearly high of 15.60 feet m.s.l., on October 1, slightly above schedule but about 1.3 feet above the normal stage for that date. From this high the stage receded from lack of rainfall and reached a yearly low of 11.71 feet m.s.l., on May 14, 1975. This was 2.8 feet below the regulation schedule and 1.5 feet below normal. During June, the lake began rising again and reached elevation 12.44 feet by the end of this fiscal year. See Table 9-Q' for more statistical information on Lake Okeechobee water supply and water use data. (2) Water Conservation Area No. 1. Regulatory releases totaling 266,000 acre-feet were made from this area to Water Conservation Area 2A during the period July through September. Water levels were above schedule from July 1 to October 12, 1974 but fell to 2.5 feet below schedule by May 1975. Rainfall was 8.94 inches below normal for the seven month period October 1974 through April 1975. Rainfall for the fiscal year totaled 40.93 inches which is 5.55 inches below normal. See ' Table 9-R for more statistical information on the areas water supply and water use data. (3) Water Conservation Area 2A. The water level in conservation area 2A rose from 11.40 feet at the beginning of the fiscal year to a peak of 14.20 on August 28, 1974. Water levels were above regulation stages from July 20 to September 8, 1974 requiring regulatory releases totaling 378,000 acre-feet; (299,400 acre-feet through S-11). By the end of September 1974 the water level began receding and reached a low for the year of 10.65 on May 6, 1975. See Table 9-R for more statistical information on the area's water supply and water use data. (4) Water Conservation Area No. 3A. This area was above its seasonal regulation schedule from August 17 to September 15, 1974. At the beginning of FY-75 the stage read 8.50 feet m.s.l., about a foot below schedule. It began rising in late May 1974 reaching a high of 10.60 on September 9, 1974 then slowly receded to about 7.00 feet m.s.l., in May of 1975. It ended the fiscal year where it began, at elevation 8.50 feet m.s.l. A total of 477,200 acre-feet was released from the pool through S-12 to Everglades National Park. This was nearly twice the minimum deliveries as outlined under PL-91-282. Rainfall for the area, September 1974 through April 1975 was 10.18 inches below normal. See Table 9-R for more statistical information on this area's water supply and water use data. (C) Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District. Project canals, structures, and pumping stations were operated by the Flood Control District in accordance with design criteria to supply irrigation water to the agricultural areas, maintain desirable canal levels, and prevent salinity problems in coastal areas. During the fiscal year about 1,484,000 acre-feet of water were pumped by the Flood Control District as follows: 266,000 acre-feet to Lake Okeechobee; 515,200 acre-feet to Water Conservation Area No. 1; 176,900 acrefeet to Water Conservation Area No. 2A; 525,360 acre-feet to Water Conservation Area 3A. In addition 395,600 acre-feet were discharged by gravity flow to Water Conservation Areas 2A and 3A, via pumping station gravity spillways. During the fiscal year the Flood Control District released 1,090,000 acre-feet of water from Lake Okeechobee via the agricultural canals for irrigation and to hold optimum levels in the agricultural canals. From March through June, a total of 120,270 acre-feet of water transferred from Lake Okeechobee to Water Conservation Areas 2A and 3A to maintain floor levels in the Conservation Area canals and for release to the east coast and the Everglades National Park. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was about 39 percent complete. Planning for the entire project began in November 1948 and has been continued. For construction completed prior to Fiscal Year 1975, see Annual Reports for 1960- 1974. All Federally maintained features of the project were generally in good condition at the end of the fiscal year. (For status of work under contract at end of fiscal year see Table 9-S.) Total Federal costs under the existing project through June 30, 1975, were $210,709,729 for new work, $12,690,880 for maintenance, a total of $223,400,609. In addition, $39,632,287 has been expended from contributed funds for new work. 39. FOUR RIVER BASINS, FLA. Location.

Total Federal costs under existing project as of June 30, 1975 were $909,773 for new work and $1,848,464 for maintenance, a total of $2,758,237. Contributed funds for new work amount to $73,427. 6. BLACK WARRIOR AND TOMBIGBEE RIVERS, ALA. Location. Black Warrior River rises in northern Alabama above Birmingham and flows generally southwesterly to unite with the Tombigbee River at Demopolis, Alabama. Thence, the Tombigbee flows south, uniting with the Alabama River to form the Mobile River 45 miles above the head of Mobile Bay. Distance by water from Mobile to the vicinity of Birmingham is about 415 miles. Previous projects. For details see page 732, Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. The authorized project provides essentially for a canalized channel nine feet deep and 200 feet wide from the mouth of the Tombigbee River, 45 miles above Mobile, to the vicinity of Birmingham, via the Tombigbee and 10-4 MOBILE, ALA., DISTRICT Black Warrior Rivers, to mile 430.4 on Sipsey Fork, mile 429.6 on Mulberry Fork and mile 407.8 on Locust Fork, and for maintenance by snagging of Mobile River above the mouth of Chickasaw Creek, a total waterway distance of about 408 miles. The total lift of 257 feet is accomplished by six locks and dams. The original construction program, consisting of 17 dams with 18 lifts, was completed in 1915. Replacement of the original structures with new locks and dams, under the modernization program is as follows: William Bacon Oliver replaced locks 10, 11, and 12; Demopolis replaced locks 4, 5, 6, and 7; Warrior replaced locks 8 and 9; Coffeeville (Jackson) replaced locks 1, 2, and 3; and Holt replaced locks 13, 14, 15, and 16. Thus, 16 of the original locks have been replaced by five new locks. Bankhead Lock and Dam (Lock 17) is under rehabilitation to replace the existing double lift lock with a single lift lock. The Jackson Lock and Dam wildlife refuge, authorized in 1960, will include 4,250 acres within the reservoir area and along its boundaries. (See Table 10-B for authorizing legislation.) Tidal influence extends upstream from Mobile 101.6 miles to the old lock 1, where tidal effect is apparent only at low stages of the river. At Mobile the mean and extreme tidal ranges are 1.5 and 3.6 feet, respectively. These are at times slightly increased by the effect of winds. The greatest fluctuation of river stages is at Demopolis, Ala., the maximum being 59.7 feet. Maximum fluctuations at other points are 40 feet at lock 1, 100.6 miles from Mobile; 57.8 feet at Tuscaloosa, 346.1 miles from Mobile; 13 feet at Birmingport, 404.9 miles from Mobile; and 27 feet at Cordova, 424.3 miles from Mobile. Ordinary fluctuations at these points are at old lock 1, 20 feet; at Demopolis, 35 feet; at Tuscaloosa, 40 feet; at Birmingport, four feet; and at Cordova, seven feet.

AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL PROGRAM Location. Lakes and streams in State of Louisiana. Existing project. Provides for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growth from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, in combined interests of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures. The modification of 1965 provides for comprehensive program for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasian water milfoil, and other obnoxious plant growths from navigable waterways, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters of the United States, in combined interest of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, including continued research for development of most effective and economic control measures. 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. Local cooperation. Local interests must hold and save 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 Apr. 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. Combined efforts by Corps of Engineers crews and crews of the State of Louisiana, Wild Life and Fisheries Commission, continued against aquatic vegetation problems throughout the State. Water-hyacinth control requires maintenance work in all areas, and water-hyacinth persists as the most serious aquatic pest. Control maintenance by the Corps of cleared areas continued in the Mermentau River, Bayou Lacassine, Bayou Queue de Tortue, in the Bayou Teche basin south of U. S. Highway 190, including the lakes west of the Atchafalaya Floodway, in the feeder areas of the Port Allen- Morgan City Route of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and in the feeder areas to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Coastal Louisiana. Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission crews continued maintenance efforts in the major lakes and streams of north Louisiana, in the Atchafalaya Floodway, in the Louisiana portion 11-2 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, and the Pearl River Basin within Louisiana. During the fiscal year, 21,368 acres of water-hyacinths and alligatorweed were destroyed. State of Louisiana crews destroyed 11,365 acres of water-hyacinths and alligatorweed by chemical treatment. Corps of Engineers crews destroyed 10,003 acres of water-hyacinths and alligatorweed by chemical and mechanical methods. The alligatorweed flea beetle (agasicles) continued to overwinter in large numbers in the southern part of the State and is reducing the total area of alligatorweed. The stem boring moth (vogtia) has also been found on alligatorweed and its population is increasing. The submersed aquatic weed, Hydrilla verticillata, has been located in two additional areas in south Louisiana and its growth and spread is being carefully monitored. Condition at end of fiscal year. Operations under 1958 River and Harbor Act, initiated May 1959, are complete. Operations under 1965 Act were initiated in Fiscal Year 1968. Waterways are being cleared, then maintained -as required. 2. ATCHAFALAYA RIVER AND BAYOUS CHENE, BOEUF, AND BLACK, LA. Location. The improvement is located in the parishes of Assumption, Terrebonne, and St. Mary, La., in the vicinity of Morgan City, along Bayous Chene, Boeuf, and Black, and the Lower Atchafalaya River to the Gulf of Mexico. (See Mississippi River Commission alluvial maps, Morgan City, Belle Isle, and Point au Fer quadrangles, Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1276, and navigation maps of Intracoastal Waterway and Atchafalaya River system.) Existing project. Provides for enlargement and extension of project, Atchafalaya River, Morgan City to the Gulf of Mexico, La., to obtain navigation channels 20 feet deep over a bottom width of 400 feet from vicinity of U. S. Highway 90 crossing over Bayou Boeuf to the Gulf of Mexico via Bayou Boeuf, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Bayou Chene, Avoca Island Cutoff, the lower Atchafalaya River, Atchafalaya Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, and from near U. S. Highway 90 to Bayou Chene via Bayou Black and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The 400-foot channel extends into the Gulf of Mexico to the 20-foot contour, and the width in Bayou Boeuf would be reduced to 300 feet where necessary because of industrial development on both sides of the bayou. Estimated cost for new work (July 1975) is $20,400,000 Federal and $2,400,000 non-Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $42,000. Local cooperation. The local agency must provide without cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction and subsequent maintenance of the project and for aids to navigation upon the request of the Chief of Engineers, including suitable areas required in the general public interest for initial and subsequent disposal of spoil, and also necessary retaining dikes, bulkheads, and embankments therefor or the cost of such retaining works; accomplish and maintain all modifications to roads, bridges, pipelines, cables, and any other utilities and improvements necessary for the construction and subsequent maintenance of the project; and hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the project. In addition, the provisions of Public Law 91-646 and Public Law 91-611 are applicable. Assuring Agency: Morgan City Harbor and Terminal District. The Water Resources Act of 1974 modified the project to provide (a) 25 percent local contribution of the cost of spoil disposal retaining dikes, bulkheads, and embankments and (b) waiver of requirement (a) if political subdivisions are participating in and are in compliance with approved plan in area of dredging activity for construction, modification, expansion, or rehabilitation of waste treatment facilities, and if applicable water quality standards are not being violated. Basic assurance was approved on behalf of United States on Dec. 10, 1973, and amended assurance containing the applicable provisions of Public Law 91-646 and Public Law 91-611 was approved on behalf of United States on Feb. 25, 1974. Terminal facilities. Two large and three small public wharves at Morgan City are open for use by all without charge. In addition, there are numerous privately owned facilities on both banks of the lower Atchafalaya River in Morgan City and Berwick, La., and along Bayou Boeuf and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Fabrication and repair facilities are located on Bayous Boeuf and Black. Adequate acreage is available for expansion of existing terminals and construction of new terminals along Bayous Chene, Boeuf, and Black, and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Public and private terminals in the project area are adequately connected with rail, water, and highway transportation facilities. No additional public wharves are required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by hired labor consisted of real estate activities and engineering work associated with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. Contract work for initial dredging in the Atchafalaya Bay and Bar Channel, La., continued from last fiscal year and was 11-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 completed Dec. 5, 1974, with 12,647,602 cubic yards of material removed this fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated on the Atchafalaya Bay and gulf reach in April 1974. The project is 16 percent complete. 3. ATCHAFALAYA RIVER, MORGAN CITY TO GULF OF MEXICO, LA. Location. Atchafalaya River is the outlet of Red River and diverted flow from Mississippi River. It begins about 4.5 miles west of Old River navigation lock on northern boundary of Pointe Coupee Parish, and flows generally south about 135 miles and empties into Atchafalaya Bay, an inlet of the gulf. Section under improvement is from 20-foot contour in Atchafalaya Bay, 4 miles beyond mouth of Atchafalaya River, to 20-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1276, Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley maps, Morgan City, Belle Isle, and Point au Fer quadrangles, and navigation maps of Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Atchafalaya River system.) Existing project. A 20- by 200-foot channel from 20-foot contour in Atchafalaya Bay to 20-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico. Project depth refers to mean low water. Normal range of tide is 10 inches; extreme range, 14 inches; hurricane range, 10 feet. The existing project, prior to the modification of August 1968, was completed at a cost of $501,963. Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except for modification of project in connection with Atchafalaya River and Bayous Chene, Boeuf, and Black, La., which is reported separately. Terminal facilities. At Morgan City there are several small private wharves and two large and three small public ones open for use of all without charge. There are no warehouses needed, as business section is on riverfront and all freight is transferred directly from boats to stores. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor work consisted of condition and operations studies, reconnaissance surveys, and channel patrol. A contract for dredging in the Atchafalaya Bay and Bar channel was initiated May 28, 1975. The contract dredge Port Arthur removed 881,262 cubic yards of shoal material as of Jun. 30, 1975. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in Fiscal Year 1911 and completed in Fiscal Year 1914. 4. BARATARIA BAY WATERWAY, LA. Location. In Jefferson Parish, La., and extends about 37 miles southerly from junction of Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Barataria near Lafitte Post Office. From its origin it extends southerly through Bayou Barataria, Bayou Dupont, a land cut (known as Dupre Cut) through marsh area, Bayou Cutler, Bayou St. Denis, and Barataria Bay to east end of Bayou Rigaud. At its southerly terminus it also connects with Barataria Pass and through that pass with the Gulf of Mexico. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1050, 1116, and 1237, Geological Survey maps Barataria, Bay Dogris, Wilkinson Bay, and Barataria Pass.) Previous project.

Normal range of tide is 30 inches at mouth and 6 inches at head. Elevation of water surface near mouth, due to hurricanes, has been over 6 feet. Existing project was completed at a cost of $1,499,648. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Six privately owned wharves at Lafitte; three privately owned facilities at Grand Isle; and wharfage in Bayou Rigaud at Grand Isle constructed by shrimping industry are available to all boats without charge. About 7 miles below Lafitte there is a large oil terminal for transferring production of Lafitte field to barges. Adjacent to Bayou Barataria and along Bayou Rigaud adequate sites are available for future use. Operations and results during fiscal year. Condition and operation studies, surveys and channel patrol were conducted by hired labor. Maintenance dredging of the channel between mile 12.0 to mile 28.2 (not continuous) continued from last fiscal year and was completed Jul. 19, 1974, with 176,809 cubic yards of material removed this fiscal year by contract. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in May 1960 and completed in November 1963. 5. BAYOU LAFOURCHE AND LAFOURCHE-JUMP WATERWAY, LA. Location. Prior to 1902, Bayou Lafourche was 11-4 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT an outlet of Mississippi River, its head being at Donaldsonville, La., 80 miles above New Orleans. It flows southerly 107 miles to Gulf of Mexico. iSee Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 1116 and 1274; Mississippi River Commission alluvial valley maps; Donaldsonville, White Castle, Napoleonville, Thibodaux, and Lac des Allemands quadrangles; 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 ajettied entrance at Belle Pass, and the closure of Pass Fourchon. These improvements are about 50.5 miles long, and the modification of Jul. 14, 1960, provides for an additional 66 miles of 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- by 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; from severe rains, 3 to 10 feet at head; from hurricanes, up to 10 feet at mouth. Estimated cost for new work (July 1975) is $11,400,000 Federal and $4,850,000 non- Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $34,000. 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 1974) is $733,000. Local cooperation. Original assurances received and accepted on all items of work in the project. Provisions of Public Law 91-611 are not applicable; however, provisions of Public Law 91- 646 are applicable. Supplemental assurances covering Public Law 91-646 have been executed by the Jefferson Parish Council and Lafourche Parish Police Jury; however, the Louisiana Department of Public Works has not executed supplemental assurances. Golden Meadow to gulf: Local agency has acquired all rights-of-way and furnished rightsof- entry. Leeville to Grand Isle: No action is apparent on this stretch by either the Lafourche Parish Police Jury, the Jefferson Parish Council, the local assurers, or the State of Louisiana, Department of Public Works. Rights-of-way are not available due to multiplicity and other complications of ownership. 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 oil fields to barges. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by hired labor consisted of general engineering and planning. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of existing project was initiated in Fiscal Year 1939 and is 10 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 placement of stone on both gulf and bayou sides. On May 31, 1949, an automatic tide gage for recording hurricane and storm tides was installed. Modification of Jul. 14, 1960, was initiated in February 1963 and is 10 percent complete, with 12- by 125-foot channel completed in September 1963 from Leeville to 12-foot contour in Gulf of Mexico, the 9- by 100-foot channel completed in August 1966 from Golden Meadow to Leeville, and the 9- by 100-foot channel from Golden Meadow to Leeville completed in August 1966. Total cost of existing project to Jun. 30, 1975, was $2,130,142 of which $1,315,831 was for new work and $814,311 for maintenance. In addition, 11-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 $75,563 has been expended for rehabilitation (Code 820). The Greater Lafourche Port Commission requested, and was granted, a permit to dredge a new channel 20 by 300 feet wide west of the existing channel from mile 0.76 in Bayou Lafourche to the 20-foot depth in the gulf, and to close the existing jettied channel after completion of the new channel. This work was completed in March 1968 and the Port Commission must maintain the channel at no less than 12 by 125 feet. 6. BAYOU TECHE AND VERMILION RIVER, LA. Location. Bayou Teche has its source in Bayou Courtableau, in St. Landry Parish, and flows southeasterly 125 miles to its confluence with lower Atchafalaya River, about 10.5 miles above Morgan City, La. Vermilion River, also called Bayou Vermilion, is formed by junction of Bayous Fusilier and Bourbeau, west of Arnaudville, La., and flows southwesterly 72 miles to western end of Vermilion Bay. Bayou Teche is connected with Vermilion River by Bayou Fusilier at Arnaudville; and by Ruth Canal, an artificial, privately owned, nonnavigable waterway, constructed for diversion of water from Bayou Teche to Vermilion River for rice irrigation.

Provides for a waterway, within the district, from Lake Borgne to Sabine River by the following improvements: a channel 16 feet deep and 150 feet wide, from Mississippi River to Atchafalaya River, except in vicinity of Houma, miles 50.5 to 63.5, which is to be maintained at 12 by 125 feet; a channel 16 by 150 feet through bypass route around Houma, La., miles 50.5 to 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 29 and New Orleans (via land cut through marsh and Inner Harbor Navigation Canal), 33.1 miles long; an alternative route 9 feet deep and 100 feet wide between Lake Borgne Light 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 land cut to and through a new terminal lock and entrance channel to Mississippi River near 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 Bayou Plaquemine and Plaquemine Lock to Mississippi 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 saltwater 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 intercepted; 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 interest); fixedtrestle bridges for crossing proposed landside drainage canals; lift bridges at Louisiana Highway 168, Port Allen, La., at Texas & Pacific Railway, Port Allen, La., and at Texas & Pacific Railway, Morley, La.; and for annual payments to Board of Commissioners of Port of New Orleans for use of a portion of Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. Length of waterway within district is 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 $123,233,827 Federal and $21,497,000 non- Federal, divided as follows: Algiers Lock and canal, completed June 1961, $15,895,924 Federal and $2,185,000 non-Federal; Plaquemine- Morgan City route, completed October 1963, $26,869,372 Federal and $2,250,000 non-Federal; and remainder of waterway (July 1975), $80,468,531 Federal and $17,062,000 non- Federal, including $53,000,000 Federal and $16,900,000 non-Federal for modification (authorized by Public Law 87-874), October 1962, and $12,000,000 Federal and $162,000 non- Federal for replacement of Vermilion Lock. In addition, the Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $72,000. 11-11 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 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 Outlet" which 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 heretofore. (See Table 11-E for locks on Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in New Orleans District.) Local cooperation. Algiers Lock and Canal: All assurances required for construction were furnished. Local agency has failed to convey all fee and easement tracts with acceptable title evidence to the United States. However, authority has been received to accept the interests conveyed as best available from local agency with the understanding that the United States rely upon assurances of local cooperation 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 available from local interests and to 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. Louisiana Department of Public Works has furnished assurances for maintenance and improvement. Modification authorized by River and Harbor Act of 1962: Local interests must furnish lands, rights-of-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 the 11 local agencies involved has furnished assurances requested. Main objection to participation is requirement that local interests be responsible for alteration of utilities. Replacement of Vermilion Lock: The Vermilion Parish Police Jury was requested to execute an Agreement of Local Cooperation on Oct. 26, 1972, agreeing to provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for construction and subsequent maintenance of the replacement lock and approach channels thereto, and hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the project, including erosion of the channel beyond the rights-of-way furnished for the replacement lock and the approach channels thereto and comply with the provisions of Public Law 91-646 and Sec. 221 of Public Law 91-611. The Police Jury, by letter dated Dec. 6, 1972, stated that they could not execute the assurances because of lack of sufficient funds with which to comply. However, another request was made on Oct. 20, 1974, which resulted in an informal notification that assurances would be furnished in a short time. No further problems are anticipated in this regard. The Louisiana Department of Public Works is still coordinating efforts to this end. Terminal facilities. Large 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, Apr. 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 are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by hired labor: The Vermilion Lock GDM is scheduled for submission to LMVD in Fiscal Year 1976. The GDM is essentially 80 percent complete and work is being prosecuted on the basis of a new lock 110 feet wide by 1200 feet long with a sill at - 15.0, mean low gulf. Maintenance by hired labor: Real estate activities, condition and operation studies, condition surveys, and channel patrol continued. Locks, bridges, and waterways were operated and maintained. Repairs to fender systems were made at the following locks: Algiers, Calcasieu, Harvey, Industrial Canal, Port Allen, and Vermilion. Replacement of bulkhead at Connely Property, Houma, La., continued from last fiscal year and was completed Dec. 6, 1974. (a) Calcasieu Lock: Hired labor work conducted during the fiscal year consisted of placement of .11-12 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 2,400 tons of riprap at the lock, reinforcement work on road embankment, and placement of 3,600 tons of riprap at the north guidewall of the Salt Water Barrier Control Structure. (b) Industrial Canal Lock: Maintenance by hired labor consisted of installation of new fire protection system and cleaning of all gate pits. (c) Port Allen Lock: Hired labor forces conducted dredging work by removing silt from area behind floating guidewall. (d) Vermilion Lock: Hired labor forces installed two new metal sluice gatds. Maintenance by contract: Dredging under one contract included removing 999,818 cubic yards of shoal material intermittently from the following locations: Wax Lake Crossover; intersection Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (mile 98.3) and Atchafalaya River; Twenty Grand Point area; and vicinity of Bayou Shaffer, during the period Jul. 19 through Oct. 9, 1974. The contract dredge Conical removed 7,940 cubic yards of material from above Bayou Sorrel Lock during the period Jul. 9 through Aug. 8, 1974. The dredge George D. Williams removed a total of 141,644 cubic yards of material from below Bayou Sorrel Lock and the extension below Bayou Sorrel Lock during the period Jul. 13 through Sep. 14, 1974. The dredges Manchac and Lafitte removed 374,645 cubic yards of material from the New Orleans Harbor lock forebays and tailbays from Jul. 1 through Nov. 8, 1975. Painting steel and replacing timbers at Harvey Lock continued from last fiscal year and was completed Aug. 28, 1974. Contract work for repairs to the Florida Avenue Bridge continued from last fiscal year and was completed Jul. 12, 1974. Maintenance dredging in the Atchafalaya River-Vermilion River section, mile 145.9 to mile 174.9 (not continuous) commenced Aug. 26, 1974, and was completed Jun. 15, 1975, with a total of 1,811,022 cubic yards of shoal material removed. A contract for replacement of lock gate and other incidental work at Harvey Lock was initiated Nov. 18, 1974, and is 70 percent complete. Restoration of the Plaquemine Lock office building, commenced in May 1975, is 85 percent complete. A contract for dredging at New Orleans Harbor and various locations was commenced in June 1975 but no work was accomplished to date on dredging lock forebays. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated July 1929 and project, as modified, is 47 percent complete. For information on completion of segments of waterway, see 1965 Annual Report, pages 523 and 524. Work remaining to complete the project consists of enlarging waterway as provided by 1962 River and Harbor Act, and replacement of Vermilion Lock. Construction of bulkheads at Lake Borgne and Chef Menteur are inactive features as this work has not been necessary. Total cost of existing project to Jun. 30, 1975, was $133,169,195, of which $58,728,406 was for new work, $35,140,899 for maintenance, and $39,299,890 for operation and care of locks and bridges. In addition, $340,159 for new work and $7,005 for maintenance has been expended from contributed funds. 13. HOUMA NAVIGATION CANAL, LA. Location. Extends from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway at mile 59.5 west of Harvey Lock southerly 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, Tex.," 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. Normal range of tide is 10 inches at mouth and 4 inches at Houma; extreme range is 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 interests (under Chief of Engineers' 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 Apr. 12, 1963. Local cooperating body has furnished temporary disposal areas as required for maintenance dredging of canal. Terminal facilities. Privately owned and operated facilities are adequate for existing commerce which is mainly seafood plants; oil companies and oil company supplies; sugar refining; and marine repair shops and towing. Southern Pacific Lines has dock facilities in 11-13 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 Houma, La. Ample space exists for expansion of existing facilities, or for the construction of new wharves and appurtenances. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued routine surveys and condition and operation studies. A contract for maintenance dredging from mile 11.6 to Cat Island Pass, mile -3.9, continued from last fiscal year and was completed Aug. 28, 1974, with a total of 2,249,345 cubic yards of material removed this fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Maintenance by the United States commenced in November 1964. 14. 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., and 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.)

Mean range of tide on Mermentau River near mouth is 10 inches and near head about 3 inches, extreme ranges being 14 and 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 zero at head. Estimated cost of new work (1971) for replacement of bridge is $3,630,000 Federal and $740,000 non-Federal, cash contribution. Estimated cost of enlargement and realinement of channels is $2,640,000 Federal and $930,000 non-Federal. In addition, the Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at a cost of $51,000. Local cooperation. Local interests shall agree to provide all lands for construction and maintenance and dredged material areas or the costs of such areas; hold and save the United States free from damage due to the project; design and construct a replacement highway bridge at Lake Arthur, La.; bear 17.1 percent of the costs ($740,000 cash contribution), and operate and maintain the bridge; provide and maintain terminal facilities; and accomplish and maintain all modifications to utilities. All assuring agencies, with the exception of the Highway Department, must furnish Supplemental Assurances covering the provisions of Public Law 91-646. All Supplemental Assurances have been furnished. 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. Assuring Agencies: Cameron Parish, Vermilion Parish, Jefferson Davis Parish, Arcadia Parish, and Louisiana Department of Public Works. All assurances for the project have been received, with the Louisiana Department of Public Works executing assurances for Vermilion and Cameron Parishes. Terminal facilities.

Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Replacement of the Mermentau River bridge at Lake Arthur, Abbeville highway, Louisiana, route 14, continued from prior fiscal year and work is 98 percent complete. A contract for construction of four channel cutoffs, mile 56.88 to mile 60.94 continued from last fiscal year and was completed Oct. 16, 1974. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the bridge was initiated in May 1972 and realinement of channels commenced April 1974. 11-14 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 15. 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 Waterway-Gulf section (Schooner Bayou Cutoff); North Prong of Schooner Bayou; and waterway from White Lake to Pecan Island, La., and artificial canal, extending from 5-footdepth 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, irrigation, 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 of 3,000 square feet below mean low gulf level for discharge of flood flows; construction of a sectorgated control structure at Catfish Point, mile 24 above mouth of Mermentau River, for discharge of flood flows and control of tidal flows and saltwater 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 flood flows; construction of a sector-gated control structure in enlarged channel immediately north of abandoned Schooner Bayou Lock reservation for discharge of flood flows and control of tidal flows and saltwater intrusion; channel enlargement of North Prong of Schooner Bayou and Schooner Bayou Cutoff, 6.69 miles, to 6 by 60 feet, mean low gulf level, for navigation purposes; and maintenance of existing 5- by 40-foot, mean low gulf level, waterway from White Lake to Pecan Island, La., 1.8 miles long, for navigation. In addition, project provides for incorporation of that section of project, "Inland Waterway from Franklin, La., to Mermentau River," west of Vermilion Bay, a waterway that includes 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, Apr. 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. Cost of new work, completed in 1956, was $4,631,910. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Privately owned and operated facilities are adequate along the Mermentau River and Bayous Nezpique and des Cannes for the principal commodities transported, which is petroleum and its products. A public wharf is located at Lake Arthur, La., but due to insufficient use it has not been maintained and in its present condition is not usable. Sites for future expansion of these facilities are available and will be provided by non-Federal interests as required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor continued condition and operation studies, reconnaissance surveys, channel patrol, and operation and maintenance of Schooner Bayou and Catfish Point Control Structures. Dewatering structures 1 and 2 at Schooner Bayou Control Structures commenced Mar. 17, 1975, and was completed May 20, 1975. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of project began April 1947 and was completed July 1952. New work dredging was accomplished from April 1947 to June 1952.

Spur dikes are composed of cribwork of round piling filled with willows and stone. Plane of reference is mean low gulf. Variation of water surface is 16 inches at mouths and 10 inches at head of the passes, due to tides. Extreme range of tides at mouths of passes due to hurricanes is about 10 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 1975) is $76,900,000 Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $28,900. Local cooperation. None required, except for modification of project in connection with Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, which is reported separately. Terminal facilities. Piers, wharves, or docks serve the 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 l.andings, bunkering facilities, terminal warehouses, railroad terminals, marine railways, and drydocks. (For further details see Port Series No. 20, "The Port of New Orleans, La." revised 1970.) 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 40.5 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, grain, bauxite ore, and other products are at points on both sides of river between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Facilities are considered adequate for existing 11-16 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 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, La.," published annually 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.)

Assuring Agencies: Louisiana: Red River Waterway Commission has executed all required assurances including amended assurances covering the requirements of Public Laws 91-611 and 91-646. Texas: The Texas Water Development Board has stated that it does not possess the necessary authority with which to apply funds to this project. The Development Board suggested that the Cypress Valley Navigation District, the Northeast Texas Municipal Water District, and the Titus County Fresh Water Supply District No. 1 be contacted concerning the required assurances. A meeting was held in November 1974 of all interested local agencies and representatives of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District. It was agreed that the attorney employed by the Harrison County Commissioner's Court would determine what action could be most advantageously taken to present desired legislation, if possible, to the 1975 Texas Legislature. This proposed action was to be coordinated with the Texas Water Development Board representative for further dissemination to all others concerned as to action taken. The proposed action was not completed prior to adjournment of the 1975 Texas Legislature. The Texas Water Development Board has again been requested to coordinate the efforts to have the local cooperation and funding aspects of this portion of the project settled. Thus far, the Texas Water Development Board has been reluctant to be the coordinating agency. Efforts to settle this matter are continuing. Terminal facilities. Adequate facilities are to be provided and maintained by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. Economic reanalysis of project is being made by hired labor forces. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction has not been initiated. 26. REMOVING WATER-HYACINTH, LA. 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. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and 'results during fiscal year. Maximum use of funds available was made by using chemical methods of destruction with mechanical equipment held in reserve for use only when hyacinth jams necessitate it. Maintenance continued in main waterways and principal tributaries to prevent water-hyacinth obstructions and damage to navigation. Preventive maintenance work was carried out in secondary streams and feeder areas whenever possible. In some cases where alligatorweed has previously kept water-hyacinth fringes confined along the banks, attack of the alligatorweed flea beetles (agasicles) has reduced its competitiveness and water-hyacinths are multiplying and spreading in the waterways. A total of 16,340 acres of water-hyacinth were treated by chemical and mechanical methods in Bayou Black, Lake Cataouatche and feeder streams, Lake des Allemands area, the Port Allen-Morgan City Route and Alternate Route of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Lake Dauterive 11-24 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT and Grand Lake areas, Bayou Penchant-Bayou Copasaw area, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Bayou Lafourche, Bayou Lacassine, and Bayou Teche. Due to very mild winters and the freshening effect of high waters, the quantity of water hyacinths in the coastal area has increased dramatically, as has interference with petroleum production and fur trapping. Condition at end of fiscal year. From 1900 to 1902 a boat with suitable machinery for destroying hyacinth by crushing was operated. From that time until 1937 hyacinths were destroyed through use of a solution of arsenic and caustic soda which was sprayed on vegetation. The vegetation was removed by hand crews, andvegetation movement was controlled by 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 chemical spraying supplemented by mechanical rotary saw-type destroyers for opening access paths through solidly jammed hyacinth mats. 27. WATERWAY FROM EMPIRE, LA., TO GULF OF MEXICO Location. Waterway from Empire, La., to Gulf of Mexico via Bayous Long and Fontanelle. (See Geological Survey, Empire quadrangle.) Existing project. Improvement provides for construction and maintenance of a waterway, 10 miles long, from State-owned canal and lock at Empire, La., to Gulf of Mexico, to provide a channel 9 by 80 feet, and for initial construction of rubblestone jetties inshore of 6-foot-depth contour, with landward extensions thereof as required to prevent flanking, and for seaward extensions to 9-foot-depth contour if and when it becomes apparent that such extensions will be more economical than maintenance dredging of entrance channel. Normal range of tide is from 16 to 40 inches; hurricane tides may exceed 6 feet. Construction was completed at a cost of $1,068,142; except for an estimated $1,573,000 for extension of jetties to 9-foot-depth contour to be constructed if necessary. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor work consisted of general engineering. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is physically complete, unless at a later date it is found necessary to extend jetties to 9-foot-depth contour. Project construction was initiated in July 1948 and completed in June 1950, during which period the 9- by 80-foot channel from Empire, La., to Gulf of Mexico, 10 miles, was excavated by contract. A total of 4,061 linear feet of jetties was constructed by contract to 6-footdepth contour, 1,818 linear feet on east jetty and 2,243 linear feet on west jetty, from Jun. 23, 1949, to Feb. 18, 1950, and Feb. 2 to Mar. 1, 1971. 28. WATERWAY FROM INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY TO BAYOU DULAC, LA. (Bayous Grand Caillou and LeCarpe, La. Location. Bayou LeCarpe is a tidal stream which rises about 1.5 miles southeast of Houma in Terrebonne Parish and flows southerly into Bayou Pelton, thence into Bayou Grand Caillou, which flows southwesterly into Calliou Bay, a total distance of about 40 miles. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1116 and Geological Survey maps of Houma, Dulac, Bayou DuLarge, and Dog Lake quadrangles.) Existing project. As modified, provides for a 10- by 45-foot channel in Bayou LeCarpe from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway 2.6 miles to Houma navigation canal; a 5- by 40-foot channel through Bayou Pelton and Bayou Grand Caillou to Bayou Dulac, a distance of about 13.7 miles. Between miles 2.6 and 5, this project coincides with or is adjacent to 15- by 150-foot Houma navigation canal. Normal range of tide is 3 to 10 inches; from winds, 1 to 3 feet. Cost of new work, completed in August 1964, was $129,662. Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for enlargement and subsequent maintenance of Bayou LeCarpe and provide alterations to facilities, and hold the United States free from damage. Assurances were furnished and accepted. Local agency made available spoil areas for maintenance dredging of Bayou LeCarpe. None of these areas will be transferred to the United States. Terminal facilities. Many terminal and transfer facilities are in Houma and along waterways which flow through area between Houma and Gulf of Mexico. All facilities are privately owned and operated. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce and for reasonably prospective commerce. Ample space exists for expansion of existing facilities or for construction of new wharves and appurtenances. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor work consisted of surveys and preparation of plans and specifications. A contract for maintenance dredging at Bayou LeCarpe was awarded Jun. 19, 1975, but work was not initiated. Condition at end of fiscal year. The 5- by 40-foot channel was constructed from January 1938 to 11-25 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 August 1938, and modification of October 23, 1962, for enlargement of 2.54 miles of Bayou LeCarpe to 10 feet by 45 feet was initiated in May and completed August 1964. 29.

COOPER LAKE AND CHANNELS, TEX. Location. Cooper Dam and Reservoir is about 4 miles southeast of Cooper, 13 miles north of Sulphur Springs, Tex., and is at mile 23.2 on South Sulphur River, which rises in Fannin County, Tex., and flows generally east for about 80 miles to its confluence with North Sulphur River to form Sulphur River. Existing project. Provides for construction of an earth-fill dam with maximum height of about 73 feet, 15,882 feet long at its crest, one controlled (service) spillway, and an emergency 11-28 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT uncontrolled spillway. Reservoir area will be 22,740 acres at top of flood control pool, 5,084 acres at top of sediment pool, and 19,305 acres at top of water-supply pool. The reservoir will contain 131,400 acre-feet of flood control storage space, 273,000 acre-feet of municipal and industrial water supply space, and 37,000 acrefeet of sediment storage. Also provides for channel clearing, realinement, and enlargement; enlargement and extension of existing levees; and construction of appurtenant drainage works along main stem of Sulphur River above mile 126; channel clearing, realinement, and enlargement and levee enlargement and modification of appurtenant drainage works on Cuthand Creek below mile 24, on Sulphur River below mile 70, except in proposed Cooper Reservoir, miles 29 to 42, and on Middle Sulphur River below mile 8 channel clearing and realinement of Brushy Creek below mile 5; and levee enlargement on North Sulphur River between miles 1 and 5. Uncompleted channel and levee improvements lying between the damsite and Texas Highway 37 will be deleted in the interest of accommodating Texas Water Plan. Estimated Federal cost for new work (July 1975) is $61,800,000, which includes $25,600,000 to be reimbursed by water supply users over a 50-year period and $3,180,000 non-Federal, including a $2,800,000 cash contribution for modifications to accommodate the Texas Water Plan. This estimate is based on a reservoir containing 273,000 acre-feet of water supply. Local cooperation. Except for Cooper Reservoir, local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way, and alter and relocate highways and related facilities and utilities, except railroads, for construction; hold and save the United States free from damages; maintain and operate all works after completion, and preserve channel capacities by preventing encroachment. Local agencies furnished rights-of-way for first two phases of work on levees and channels downstream from Cooper Dam. Right-of-way acquisition for part II, for channels and levees downstream from Cooper Dam, is essentially complete, except for that required below mile 140.4, Sulphur River (Magnolia Pipeline Crossing). Right-of-way acquisition for this portion of project is inactive pending resolution of a controversy among local interests as to the responsibility for relocation of the pipeline. Deletion of the Texas Water Plan from future project planning will require the reinstatement of about 19 miles of levee and channel improvements below the damsite, to include right-of-way acquisition in this reach. Assuring Agencies are the following counties in Texas: Delta, Hunt, Franklin, Lamar, Morris, Hopkins, Titus, and Red River. Basic assurances have been received. Supplemental assurances covering Public Law 91-646 have not been received for Delta, Lamar, Morris, or Red River County. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys, planning, and negotiations with cooperating agencies were continued by hired labor. Work on the detail design memorandum for the dam and reservoir is continuing and is expected to be completed in Fiscal Year 1976. Land acquisition and work on the environmental impact statement continued. The project is currently under a court injunction, issued May 26, 1971, which prevents further construction work on the project until a final environmental impact statement is prepared and filed with the Council on Environmental Quality.

In Hagaman Chute, a secondary channel of the Mississippi River at mile 483.4 above Head of Passes, and about 3 miles south of Lake Providence, La. Existing project. A dredged harbor channel about 0.7 mile long and 150 feet wide with a project depth of 9 feet in Hagaman Chute from the Mississippi River. Channel was widened to 400 feet in front of and upstream from port area, a distance of 800 feet, to provide a turning basin. Local interests constructed retaining dikes to provide the disposal area for material excavated from channel and turning basin. Resulting hydraulic fill provides a raised port area. Federal cost of completed work was $198,859, excluding preauthorization study costs of $9,678. Total non- Federal cost was $233,400, including cost of retaining dikes, and a cash contribution of $35,000. In addition, local interests have spent $1,022,000 for port facilities. * All cost and financial statements and authorizing legislation for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. All other tables are referenced in text and also appear at the end of this chapter. 12-1 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Local interests provided port facilities. Operations and results during fiscal year. Leased dredge G. A. Mc Williams removed 271,819 cubic yards of material for maintenance in harbor channel and turning basin. Condition at end of fiscal year. The project was completed in 1963 and is being maintained. 2. OUACHITA AND BLACK RIVERS BELOW CAMDEN, ARK. Location. Ouachita River rises in Polk County, Ark., and flows southeasterly and southerly about 600 miles. Below its confluence with the Tensas and Little Rivers at Jonesville, La., it is called Black River, which enters Red River 35.5 miles from the Mississippi River. Previous projects. See page 683 of Annual Report for 1962 for details. Existing project. See page 684 of Annual Report for 1962 for details of existing 6.5-foot navigation project. New work for completed project cost $4,574,551, exclusive of amounts expended under previous projects. Modified project and project for Red River below Fulton, Ark., provide for a channel 9 feet deep and 200 feet wide in Red River between Old River and mouth of Black River, and in Black and Ouachita Rivers from mouth of Black River to Camden, Ark. This is being accomplished by construction of four new locks, 84 feet by 600 feet; new dams; channel realinement; and measures to preserve Catahoula Lake for migratory waterfowl. Jonesville Lock and Dam replaced existing Lock and Dam No. 2; Columbia Lock and Dam replaced existing Lock and Dams Nos. 3, 4, and 5; Felsenthal Lock and Dam will replace existing Lock and Dam No. 6; and Calion Lock and Dam will replace existing Lock and Dam No. 8. The River and Harbor Act of 1970 authorized establishment of wildlife refuges along Bayou D'Arbonne (14,700 acres) in connection with Columbia Lock and Dam and at Felsenthal Lock and Dam (65,000 acres). The Bayou D'Arbonne refuge was increased to 18,000 acres at the request of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. Approved (1975) estimated cost for new work for 9-foot navigation project is $177,420,000, including $173,000,000 Federal and $4,420,000 non-Federal for lands, damages, and relocations. Local cooperation. Local cooperation for all completed work in Louisiana has been furnished in a timely manner. It is anticipated that local interests in Louisiana will be able to supply the necessary rights-of-way for construction of the cutoffs and bend widenings. Local interests in Arkansas have furnished the rights-of-way for the Felsenthal access road, lock, dam, and disposal area, and it is anticipated that the remaining rights-of-way will be furnished when needed. All assurances from local interests in Arkansas including supplemental assurances (Public Law 91-646) have been accepted. The State of Louisiana has not furnished supplemental assurances; however, they are anticipated in the near future. Terminal facilities. Public loading docks are at Columbia, La., and Camden, Ark. Privately owned docks and loading and unloading facilities are at Columbia, Monroe, and Sterlington, La., and El Dorado, Calion, and Camden, Ark. Two grain-handling facilities and a petroleumloading facility are in the vicinity of Jonesville, La., and a grain-handling facility is in the vicinity of Acme, La. Operations and results during fiscal year. Extensive flooding during the last half of the fiscal year hampered progress of going contracts. Planning and design for other features in the Jonesville and Columbia pools are continuing. Planning and design for Calion and Felsenthal Locks and Dams are in progress. The Columbia and Jonesville Locks were in operation, and a 9- foot navigation channel to Sterlington, La., was maintained. The remaining portion of the navigation channel was maintained at the existing 6.5-foot project depth. Channel surveys taken after the 1973, 1974, and 1975 highwater seasons indicated extensive scouring in the vicinity of existing locks and dams at Jonesville and Columbia, La. Condition at end of fiscal year. The 6.5-foot project is complete and is being maintained. Planning and design for the 9-foot navigation project started in fiscal year 1962 and are continuing.

RIVER BETWEEN RIVER AND MINN. (ST. LOUIS See section of this annual report entitled "Mississippi River between Missouri River and Minneapolis, Minn." 4. MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN OHIO AND MISSOURI RIVERS, MO. AND ILL. Location. Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, Minn., and from that lake flows southerly about 2,340 miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Portion included in this report embraces the 195-mile section known as middle Mississippi, between tributary Ohio and Missouri Rivers about 974 to 1,169 miles from the gulf. See folder by Corps of Engineers of Navigation Charts, Middle and Upper Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to Minneapolis, Minn. Previous projects. For details see page 1879 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1014 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. The existing project provides for obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 300 feet at low water, with additional widths in bends from mouth of Ohio River (about 974 miles from gulf) to northern boundary of city of St. Louis, mile 191, thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to mouth of Missouri River, mile 195; to be obtained: (1) by regulating works, for closing secondary channels, contracting river by building new banks where river width is excessive and protecting new and old banks from erosion where necessary to secure permanency at an estimated total Federal cost (1975) of $144,000,000; (2) by dredging to maintain project channels; (3) by construction of works authorized for Chain of Rocks reach in 1945 River and Harbor Act, which approved a comprehensive plan for development of the river at Chain of Rocks to provide for construction of a lateral canal at an estimated total Federal project cost (1975) of $58,700,000; and (4) by construction of a fixed-crest rockfill dam about 900 feet below Chain of Rocks Bridge, authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act, at cost of $4,353,000, excluding $7,000 costs to Coast Guard for aids to navigation. Estimated total Federal project cost (1975) is $207,053,000. A small boat harbor opposite Chester," Ill., is inactive and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost (July 1960) of this portion is $166,600 including $55,000 non- Federal contribution, and excluding $1,000 Coast Guard cost. See H. Doc. 669 (76th Cong., 3d sess.) for report of Chief of Engineers dated Feb. 27, 1940, containing a general plan for improvement of Mississippi River between Coon Rapids Dam and mouth of Ohio River for purposes of navigation, power development, flood control, and needs of irrigation. Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Existing facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 14-2 ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT Operations and results during fiscal year. Regulating Works: Contract work was continued on stone dike construction as was engineering and design and supervision and administration. Chain of Rocks: Construction of guidewalls and tie-down of upper sill is under way. Maintenance. Work consisted of 3,400 feet of dike repair and 65,570 feet of revetment repair. U. S. plant and hired labor performed channel dredging at 35 locations, removing 6,070,000 cubic yards of material from main channel. Channels dredged had a combined length of 29.9 miles, an average width of 290 feet, and an average gain in depth of 3.6 feet. Condition and operation studies, recreation planning, engineering and design, and operation and maintenance of Lock and Dam 27 continued. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction on existing project began in 1881 and project has been in beneficial use practically from its inception. Project on Dam 27 is complete. Work on the project is about 51 percent complete. Work required to complete the project includes construction of 164,635 linear feet of dikes; 185,700 linear feet of revetment; removal of 100,000 cubic yards of rock; removal of 100,000 cubic yards by dredging; upper and lower guidewalls at Lock 27; and alterations to sills. Channel as a whole has been greatly improved by the work completed to date. Dredging is required at low stages to remove temporary shoals and maintain required channel depths. Navigation season formerly extended from mid-February to mid-December, the river is generally closed by ice the remainder of year. However, in recent years increased demands of commerce and use of steel-hull boats have combined to extend navigation season throughout the year except when blocked by heavy ice or gorges. River is generally above 10-foot stage, St. Louis gage, from latter part of February to the latter part of August, during which time project channel depths generally prevail without dredging. Mean stage of river, St. Louis gage, was 17.58 feet for Fiscal Year 1974 and 12.04 feet for Fiscal Year 1975. 5. OTHER AUTHORIZED NAVIGATION PROJECTS See Table 14-C. Flood Control 6. COLUMBIA DRAINAGE LEVEE DISTRICT NO. 3, ILL. AND Location. In Monroe County, Ill., on left bank of the Mississippi River between river miles 156 and 166 above mouth of the Ohio River. (See St. Louis, Mo., map published by Army Map Service, scale 1:250,000.) Previous project. For details, see page 653 of Annual Report for 1959. Existing project. Project area contains about 13,600 acres protected from major floods of the Mississippi River, Columbia Creek, and Fountain Creek by levees. However, when Mississippi River stage exceeds 20 feet on the St. Louis, Mo., gage, substantial damage results from impoundment of precipitation which falls on the area, runoff from adjacent hill land, and Mississippi River seepage. The 1962 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 543, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) provides for construction of two pumping stations to reduce interior flooding. Estimated cost (1975) is $3,800,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction; hold and save the United States free from damages; maintain and operate project, including pumping plants, after completion; prevent encroachment on improved channels and ponding areas and, if ponding area and capacities are impaired, provide substitute storage capacity or equivalent pumping capacity promptly without cost to the United States and comply with applicable provisions of Public Law 91-611 and Public Law 91-646. The proposed sponsors, the Commissioners of the Columbia Drainage and Levee District No. 3, have furnished assurances of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is complete. Condition at end of fiscal year. General design memorandum was revised in accordance with recommendations of higher authority. Contract for the Franey Lake pumping station was awarded. 7. EAST ST. LOUIS AND VICINITY, ILL. Location. Project is in St. Clair and Madison Counties, Ill., on the left bank of the Mississippi River between river miles 175 and 195 above the Ohio River. Project includes all bottomlands 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 systems by construction or reconstruction of 19.8 14-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1975 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 provide flood protection on the landward side integral with and to the same degree as the East St. Louis levee. Estimated cost (1974) of work under this authorization is $22,551,000. 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 total Federal project cost of work under this authorization is $52,100,000 (1975), $18,400,000 for Cahokia Creek Dam, and $33,700,000 for Interior Flood Control. Non-Federal cost is $15,100,000. Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied with the requirements of local cooperation for work under the 1936 authorization. For work authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965, local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction; hold and save the United States free from damages 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. The State of Illinois has agreed to sponsor the interior drainage project and the low water dam. In addition to requirements listed above, the sponsor would have to comply with the applicable provisions of Public Law 91-611 and Public Law 91-646. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design on minor repairs to pumping station was continued on work authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1936. Planning was continued on project modifications authorized by Flood Control Act of 1965. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work authorized by Flood Control Act of 1936 is essentially complete. 8. HARRISONVILLE AND IVY LANDING DRAINAGE AND LEVEE DISTRICT NO. 2, ILL. Location. The district is in Monroe County, Ill., on the left bank of the Mississippi River between river miles 141 and 156 above the mouth of Ohio River. (See St. Louis, Mo., map published by Army Map Service, scale 1:250,000.) Previous project. For details, see page 676 of Annual Report for 1957. Existing project. Project area contains about 27,800 acres protected from floods of the Mississippi River and Fountain Creek by levees. However, when Mississippi River stage exceeds 15 feet on the St. Louis, Mo., gage, substantial damage results from impoundment of precipitation which falls on the area, runoff from adjacent hill land, and Mississippi River seepage. The Flood Control Act of 1962 provides for construction of two pumping stations to reduce interior flooding. Estimated total Federal project cost (1975) is $5,290,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction; hold and save the United States free from damages; maintain and operate project, including pumping plants, after completion; prevent encroachment on improved channel and ponding areas and, if ponding areas and capacity are impaired, provide substitute storage capacity or equivalent pumping capacity promptly without cost to the United States and comply with the provisions of Public Law 91-611 and Public Law 91-646. The sponsors have furnished assurances of necessary cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is complete. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project constructed under authority of Flood Control Act of 1936 is complete. On modifications authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962, contracts were awarded for levee raising and a 600 cubic feet per second pumping station. 9. KASKASKIA ISLAND DRAINAGE AND LEVEE DISTRICT, ILL. Location. In Randolph County, Ill., on the right bank of the Mississippi River between miles 111 14-4 ST. LOUIS, MO., DISTRICT and 116 above the mouth of the Ohio River. (See Paducah, Ky., Ill., Mo., Ind., map published by Army Map Service, scale 1:250,000.) Previous project. For details, see page 1375 of Annual Report for 1950. Existing project. Project area contains about 9,460 acres only partially protected against flood stage of 38.5 feet on the Chester, Ill., gage. Flooding occurs about once in every 7.3 years with an average duration of 26 days, causing substantial damage. The 1938 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 519, 87th Cong., 2d sess.) provides for enlarging and raising the existing levee about 8 feet to provide protection against a flood having a frequency of once in 50 years. Estimated cost (1975) is $6,880,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands, easements, and rights-of-way for construction; hold and save the United States free from damages; maintain and operate project after completion and comply with provisions of Public Law 91-611 and Public Law 91-646. Local interests have certified that assurances of local cooperation will be executed at the appropriate time and have reaffirmed their willingness to comply with the terms of local cooperation. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was initiated. Condition at end of fiscal year. Phase I of the general design memorandum is being prepared. 10. KASKASKIA RIVER, ILL. Location. The river rises in Champaign County, Ill., about 5 miles northwest of Urbana, in eastcentral part of the State. It flows generally southwesterly about 325 miles and empties into the Mississippi River about 8 miles above Chester, Ill., or 118 miles above mouth of Ohio River. (See Nashville and Cincinnati sheets of maps of United States, published by Army Map Service, scale 1:500,000; also Geological Survey quadrangle maps, 1:62,500.) Existing project. The project provides for construction of a dam at Carlyle and five levee projects between Carlyle and New Athens authorized by 1936 Flood Control Act, and construction of a dam at Shelbyville, six levee projects along river between Cowden and Vandalia, and a local protection project at New Athens, all authorized by 1958 Flood Control Act. Under the plan, Carlyle Lake and Lake Shelbyville would be operated as a multiplepurpose project for local and Mississippi River flood control, domestic and industrial water supply, releases in the interest of navigation on the Mississippi River, fish and wildlife conservation, and recreation. The 11 levee projects would provide protection to about 54,610 acres of land. In view of inclusion of previously authorized Carlyle Lake and the levees between Carlyle and New Athens in recommended plan, general comprehensive plan for flood control and other purposes in Upper Mississippi River Basin, approved by 1938 Flood Control Act, was modified by deleting Carlyle Lake and levees between Carlyle and New Athens. Flood Control Act of 1965 modified the Flood Control Act of 1958 to: (a) delete requirement that local interests make a cash contribution to the cost of levees between Cowden and Vandalia because of changed land use, and (b) require that local interests make a cash contribution equal to full cost of acquisition of flowage easements in those lands acquired by the United States which, upon completion of the levee in District No. 22, will not be required for construction, operation, and maintenance of Carlyle Lake. (See Table 14-D.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction continued on Carlyle Lake and Lake Shelbyville. Construction is complete on New Athens. Preliminary planning is essentially complete on Vandalia Drainage and Levee District No. 21. Construction on Dively Drainage and Levee District No. 23 was initiated.

AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL (SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION) 1965 ACT Location. Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in Texas and the Sabine River Watershed of Louisiana. Previous project. For details see page 699 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. A comprehensive project to provide for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths, from navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in Texas 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. (See Table 15-C Other Authorized Navigation Projects paragraph for completed project authorized by 1958 and 1962 River and Harbor Acts.) (Also see Table 15-B for authorizing legislation.) Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps) $1,270,000 and non- Federal $483,000. Local cooperation. Sec. 302, 1965 River and Harbor Act, applies. Non-Federal work contribution estimated at $483,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $7,376 and $4,136. Reimbursement to State for Government's share of cost of $62,852 for eradication was made. In addition, the State performed $22,975 of eradication for which credit as work-in-kind was given. Condition at end of fiscal year. Aquatic plant control work continued in the Nueces River Basin, North Coastal Area, Guadalupe River Basin, Sabine River Basin, Trinity River Basin, Cypress Creek Basin, and the Neches River Basin. Work was initiated in the South Coastal area. 2. BRAZOS ISLAND HARBOR, TEX. Location. At extreme south end of coast of Texas, about 7 miles north of mouth of Rio Grande and about 5 miles east of Brownsville, Tex. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 11301.) Previous project. For details see page 1017 of Annual Report for 1932. Existing project. Provides for channel dimensions in various sections of the waterway as shown in Table 15-F. Project also provides for dual jetties at the gulf entrance, a north jetty 6,330 feet long a south jetty 5,092 feet long, and a 1,000-foot extension to existing north jetty and for maintenance of 3rd fishing harbor constructed by local interests. Under ordinary conditions, mean tidal range is about 1.5 feet, and extreme range is about 2 feet. All depths refer to mean low tide. To some extent, height of tides is dependent on the wind, and during strong "northers" in winter season, water surface in southern end of Laguna Madre may be raised 4 feet or more above mean low tide in the gulf. Estimated cost for new work is: $23,064,000 Federal (Corps), excluding expenditures on previous projects, and non-Federal $2,080,000 including $1,683,258 contributed and $396,742 lands. (See Table 15-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Complied with except as required by section 101, 1960 River and Harbor Act. Non-Federal contributions, $1,683,258. Terminal facilities. Numerous terminal facilities for bulk and liquid cargo are available. (See Port Series No. 26, revised 1969). Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $11,617 and $111,017. Condition and operation studies, inspections and reports, and project condition surveys including real estate activities cost $54,379. A test disposal area for pipeline dredging entrance channel cost $23,943. Miscellaneous maintenance by hired labor totaled $845. (See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is about 50 percent complete. Work remaining consists of widening Brownsville Channel from Goose Island to Brownsville turning basin, deepening southeast corner of Brownsville turning basin to 36 feet, and extending north jetty 1,000 feet. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing project to June 30, 1975.) 3. CEDAR BAYOU, TEX. Location. The bayou is about 30 miles long. It flows to the south and empties into northwest corner of upper Galveston Bay, about 1.5 miles below mouth of San Jacinto River and about 28.5 miles north of Galveston, Tex. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 11326.) Previous project. For details see Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. (See Table 15-F for existing project dimensions provided for in this waterway.) Project also includes jetties at mouth of bayou provided for under previous project. Under ordinary conditions mean tidal range is about 0.6 foot and extreme range 1.2 feet. Height of tides is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" in winter season, water surface may be 15-2 GALVESTON, TEX., DIST. depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. Channel from Mile 3.0 to Mile 11.0 is in inactive category. Channel from the inner end of the previously completed work to Mile 3.0, a point just above the U.S. Steel Company dock, has been reclassified to acive. Estimated cost for new work $643,000 Federal (Corps) and $135,000 non-Federal, consisting of $25,000 cash contribution and $110,000 lands and damages. (See Table 15-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for the inactive portion. Non-Federal contribution was $25,000. Terminal facilities. U.S. Steel Company has a barge dock at bayou mile 2.8, and there are a few small wharves, privately owned, for local use at various places along Cedar Bayou. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operation and results during fiscal year. New Work: Engineering and design and supervision and administration for dredging Cedar Bayou Mile -0.1 to Mile 3.0 cost $947 and $26,943. Cost for dredging this portion of the channel was $482,838. Maintenance: Repairs to reference line cost $7,140. Project condition surveys cost $613. Condition at end of fiscal year. Channel was complete to project dimensions from Houston Ship Channel to first bend in Cedar Bayou above the mouth in 1931. Dredging from Mile -0.1 to Mile 3.0 was completed in March 1975. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing project to June 30, 1975.) 4. CORPUS CHRISTI SHIP CHANNEL, TEX. Location. This project, formerly known as the Port Aransas-Corpus Christi Waterway, Tex., was changed to Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Tex. by 1968 River and Harbor Act. This is a consolidation of old improvements of Port Aransas, Tex., and channel from Aransas Pass to Corpus Christi, Tex. Aransas Pass is on southern portion of Texas Coast, 180 miles southwest of Galveston and 132 miles north of mouth of Rio Grande. Aransas Pass connects Corpus Christi Bay and Aransas Bay with the gulf. Waterway extends from deep water in the gulf through Aransas Pass jettied entrance, thence westerly 20.75 miles to and including a turning basin at Corpus Christi, thence westerly 1.75 miles through Industrial Canal to and including turning basin at Avery Point, thence westerly 4.25 miles to and including a turning basin near Tule Lake, thence northwesterly 1.8 miles to and including a turning basin at Viola, Tex. (See National Ocean Survey Charts 11308, 11309, 11311, and 11314.) Previous Project. For details see page 1861 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. (See Table 15-F for existing project dimensions provided for in various channels and basins comprising this waterway.) Project also provides for two rubblestone jetties at Aransas Pass entrance, extending into the gulf from St. Joseph and Mustang Islands, project lengths of which are 11,190 and 8,610 feet, respectively. Project further provides for a stone dike on St. Joseph Island about 20,991 feet long, connecting with north jetty and extending up this island to prevent a channel being cut around jetty. Project also provides for a breakwater at the entrance to the harbor area at Port Aransas, and for the realignment of the existing 12-foot by 100-foot project channel to Port Aransas. The breakwater consists of two overlapping sections. The one on the east side of the realigned entrance channel has a length of 830 feet and the second, located on the west side of the entrance channel, has a length of 1,290 feet. The channel to Port Aransas was relocated in the 300-foot clear distance between the overlapping sections. The portion of the channel remaining inside the breakwaters was widened to 150 feet. Under ordinary conditions, mean tidal range at Aransas Pass is about 1.1 feet and extreme range about 2 feet, and at Corpus Christi mean range about 1 foot and extreme about 1.5 feet. Heights of tides are dependent largely on strength and directions of winds, and during strong "northers" in the winter season water surface may be depressed as much as 3 feet below mean low tide. Estimated cost for new work is: Federal (Corps) $49,324,515, including $456,515 for Port Aransas Breakwaters and exclusive of amount expended on previous projects; and non-Federal $11,738,068 (includes $768 for Port Aransas Breakwaters) including $3,118,840 contributed funds and value of useful work performed, $1,615,228 lands, $5,019,000 relocations and $1,985,000 other costs. In addition, non-Federal cost to levee disposal areas on the 45-foot project was $232,000. (See Table 15-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for provisions of Sec. 101 of 1968 River and Harbor Act. Non-Federal contributions estimated at $3,118,840, excluding the $232,000 for construction of leveed disposal areas on the 45-foot project. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities on Harbor Island at head of Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Corpus Christi, La Quinta, Avery Point, and Viola, are considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series, No. 25, revised 1968, Corps of Engineers.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Engineering and design and supervision and administration for the 45-foot project cost $345,980 and $408,337. Cost for a dredging contract completed in FY 1974 was $11,396. (See 15-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 Table 15-H for dredging operations.) Maintenance: Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $32,516 and $18,665. Condition and operation studies, and inspections and reports, including real estate activities cost $122,517. Miscellaneous maintenance including repair of directional signs, and channel reference lines by hired labor totaled $450. A test disposal area for pipeline dredging entrance channel cost $43,952. (See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) Condition at end of fiscal year. The project is about 66 percent complete exclusive of inactive portions. The Port Aransas-Corpus Christi 40-foot project was initiated in 1963 and completed in 1966. The Jewel Fulton Canal was initiated in 1962 and completed in 1963. The Port Aransas Breakwaters were completed in July 1973. The work remaining consists of deepening entrance channel to 47 feet; deepening all other deep-draft channels to 45 feet; widening of channels and basins; constructing a turning point on main channel at junction with La Quinta channel and constructing a mooring area at Port Ingleside with dolphins. Preconstruction planning on 45-foot project has been completed, dredging of La Quinta Channel to 40 feet was completed in June 1973, entrance and jetty channels have been dredged to project depth and width except for a small quantity of dredging in the outside quarters, and dredging of channel from Harbor Island to mile 8.5 at 45-foot depth has been completed. Completion of La Quinta Channel to 45 feet will be by separate contract. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing project to June 30, 1975.) 5. FREEPORT HARBOR, TEX. Location. Formed by improvement of Brazos River, Tex., from mouth to about 6 miles upstream to Freeport, Tex. (See National Ocean Survey Charts 11321 and 11322.) Previous projects. For details see page 1860 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 872 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. Existing project dimensions for various channels and basins are shown in Table 15-F on channel dimensions at end of chapter. (See also Table 15-B authorizing legislation.) Existing project also provides for: Dual jetties and a diversion canal for the Brazos River, including a dam, a lock in the dam and necessary auxiliary equipment. Also provides for rehabilitation of southwest jetty and the relocation of the northeast jetty (about 640 feet to the northeast); realignment of the channel between the Jetty Channel and Brazosport Turning Basin; realignment of the channel between Brazosport Turning Basin and Upper Turning Basin; relocation of Upper Turning Basin; and public use facilities adjacent to the Freeport Jetties. The 30-foot channel from Upper Turning Basin to Stauffer Chemical Plant, including the turning basin, and lock in diversion dam are in the inactive category. Under ordinary conditions mean tidal range is about 1.5 feet and extreme range about 2.5 feet. Except under extreme conditions, rises on river and in diversion channel do not cause greater variations in water surface than those caused by tidal action. Estimated cost of new work is: $25,527,000 Federal (Corps); and $5,575,000 non-Federal, including $918,303 contributed funds, $360,249 contributed work, $3,443,448 lands, and $853,000 levees and spillways. Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for inactive portion and Section 101 of River and Harbor Act of 1970. River and Harbor Act of 1970 requires local interests provide necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for public use facilities; and when the appraised value of land, easements, and rights-of-way amounts to less than 50 percent of the total first cost of the development, make additional contributions sufficient to bring the non-Federal share to at least that level. The cash contribution is presently estimated at $160,000 which combined with land, estimated $120,000, is 50 percent of the cost of public use facilities. Cash contribution at time of authorization estimated at $95,000 in addition to providing land estimated at $70,000. Total contribution estimated at $1,278,552. Terminal facilities. Small privately owned wharves, two oil docks, one acid dock, two shell unloading docks and one caustic dock. Brazos River Navigation District has one large dock with four transit sheds over rail facilities permitting all-weather work. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series No. 26, revised 1969, for additional facilities.) Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Preconstruction planning was continued on the 45-foot project at a cost of $177,238. Maintenance: Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $93,557 and $154,790. Condition and operation studies, inspections and report, and real estate activities cost $47,416. A contract for bend easing was initiated at a cost of $5,000. Miscellaneous maintenance, including repair of directional signs by hired labor, totaled $1,052. A test disposal area for pipeline dredging entrance channel cost $25,943. (See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is 16 percent complete (exclusive of inactive portions). Work remaining consists of realigning, deepening and widening the Outer Bar and Jetty 15-4 GALVESTON, TEX., DIST. Channels; relocating the northeast jetty; rehabilitating the southwest jetty; realigning and deepening the harbor channel between the jetty channel and the Upper Turning Basin; relocating and enlarging the Upper Turning Basin; constructing a turning point near the northwesterly end of the jetty channel; enlarging Brazosport Turning Basin; deepening Brazos Harbor Channel; and enlarging and deepening Brazos Harbor Turning Basin. Preconstruction planning is in progress on this remaining work. The 38--36 foot project was initiated in 1961 and completed in 1962. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing project to June 30, 1975.) 6. GALVESTON HARBOR AND CHANNEL, TEX. Location. A consolidation of authorized improvements at Galveston, Tex., which includes projects formerly identified as Galveston Harbor, Tex.; Galveston Channel, Tex.; and Galveston seawall extension. Entrance to Galveston Harbor is on Gulf of Mexico on the northern portion of the Texas Coast. Galveston Channel extends from a point in Galveston Harbor between Bolivar Peninsula and Fort Point to and along wharf front of Galveston, Tex., and is about 5 miles long and 1,200 feet wide. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 11324 /5.) Previous projects. For details see page 1854 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. Provides for channel dimensions in sections of the waterway shown in Table 15-F. (Also see Table 15-B for authorizing legislation.) Also provided are: two rubble-mound jetties, the south one extending from Galveston Island and the north one extending from Bolivar Peninsula, for distances of 35,900 feet and 25,907 feet, respectively, into the Gulf of Mexico; a concrete seawall from the angle at Sixth Street and Broadway, in the city of Galveston, to the south jetty, and a 16,300-foot extension of the concrete seawall in a southwesterly direction from 61st Street; for 11 groins along the gulf shore between 12th Street and 61st Street; and for maintenance of seawall from the angle at 6th Street and Broadway to the south jetty. Under ordinary conditions, mean tidal range in Galveston harbor is 1.6 feet on outer bar and 1.4 feet on inner bar with extreme ranges of 2.3 and 2.1 feet, respectively. Mean tidal range in Galveston channel is about 1.3 feet and extreme range about 2 feet under ordinary conditions. Height of tides in both Galveston harbor and channel is dependent largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" water surface may be depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. Estimated cost of new work is: $19,924,900 Federal (Corps); and $4,211,000 non-Federal, including $3,620,275 contributed funds, $564,725 lands, and $26,000 levees and spillways. Local cooperation. Complied with except for inactive portions. Terminal facilities. None on Galveston Harbor, which is entrance channel leading to terminal facilities on Galveston, Texas City, and Houston Ship Channels. Galveston Channel terminal facilities are mostly on south side of channel. Principal wharves, owned by city of Galveston, extend from 10th to 41st Street (see Port Series No. 23, revised 1969). A containership terminal equipped with a crane capable of stacking containers three units high on the deck of any normal containership has been completed and placed into operation by the city of Galveston at Piers 10 and 11, on the south side of Galveston Channel. The city of Galveston has also placed into operation a barge terminal equipped with two 35-ton and one 5-ton cranes for loading and unloading barges on Lash and Seabee ships at Pier 35 and a docking and a holding area for Lash and Seabee barges on Pelican Island, directly across the channel from Piers 35 and 36. Present facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Engineering and design and supervision and administration for the 40-foot Galveston Channel cost $31,484 and $12,047. Cost for dredging the 40-foot channel was $313,561. Maintenance: Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $21,536 and $244,056. Condition and operation studies, inspections and reports, and project condition surveys, including real estate activities, cost $114,451. Miscellaneous maintenance totaled $6,010. A security fence at Fort San Jacinto disposal area cost $6,990. A test disposal area for pipeline dredging entrance channels cost $28,943. Final cost for a dredging contract completed in FY 1974 was $59,176. Adjustment of FY 1974 cost for the U.S. Hopper Dredge GERIG was -$195,142. (See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project is complete, exclusive of inactive portions and deepening of the Galveston Channel to 40 feet.

Neches River rises 60 miles southeast of Dallas, Tex., and flows generally southeast 416 miles to Sabine Lake 4 miles east of Port Arthur, Tex. Angelina River flows southeast 200 miles to its confluence with Neches River 126 miles above its mouth. Authorized features are located as follows: Rockland Dam on Neches River about 3 miles west of Rockland, Tex.; Sam Rayburn Dam on Angelina River about 10 miles northwest of Jasper, Tex,; Dam A on Neches River about 4 miles west of Horger, Tex,; Town Bluff Dam on Neches River about one-half mile north of Town Bluff, Tex. (See Geological Survey base map, Northeast Texas, scale 1:500,000.) Existing project. Provides for dams and lakes, at Rockland and Sam Rayburn damsites on Neches and Angelina Rivers, respectively, which will give a large measure of flood protection to agricultural lands in lower river valley and to city of Beaumont, Tex., reduce hazards to navigation resulting from floods, and provide a regulated flow in lower river to supply municipal, agricultural, and industrial demands. In addition, these proposed projects will permit development of a large amount of firm power and afford opportunities for recreation. Plan also provides for construction of Dam A, on Neches River below Rockland Dam, for development of power and Town Bluff Dam, below confluence of Angelina and Neches Rivers, to regulate daily fluctuations in discharge from turbines in upper projects and to develop a limited amount of power. Construction of Rockland and Dam A Lakes and power facilities at Town Bluff Dam-B. A. Steinhagen Lake is to be deferred until justified by future conditions. Estimated cost for new work, revised in 1972 for Town Bluff Dam-B. A. Steinhagen Lake and Sam Rayburn Dam and Reservoir and in 1954 for Dam A and Rockland Lakes, is $128,091,000 including $5 million non-Federal cost. (See Table 16-D for flood control works included in comprehensive plan.) 2. TOWN BLUFF DAM--B. A. STEINHAGEN LAKE, TEX. Location.

Mex., and vicinity. Combined drainage area of tributaries is about 276 square miles. Sandia Range of the Rocky Mountains, which is about 12 miles east of Rio Grande, forms eastern border of watersheds. Crest of mountain range rises more than a mile over river to an elevation of 10,692 feet above mean sea level. (See Geological Survey Map, Albuquerque, N. Mex., quadrangle, scale 1:62,500.) *All cost and financial statements for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. All other tables are referenced in text and also appear at the end of this chapter. 17-1 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 Existing project. For description of complete improvement and authorizing legislation see Annual Report for 1973. Federal cost is $17,300,000. Non-Federal cost, including required cash contribution of $530,000 is $11,060,000. Local cooperation. For details of local cooperation requirements see Annual Report for 1973. Operations and results during fiscal year. Correction of design deficiencies in North Diversion Outlet Works were completed. Ordinary maintenance and operation continued. The North and South Diversion Channels prevented an estimated $255,600 annual flood damages during FY 1974. The estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented through FY 1974 amount to $4,706,000. Peak floodflows recorded during FY 1975 were: North Diversion Channel near Alameda, 3,000 c.f.s. (1,150 acre feet) on 20 Sept. 1974. No information available for South Diversion Channel at this time. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the north and south diversion channels began in March 1965, and was completed in March 1972. 2. ALPINE, TEX. Location. At Alpine, Paisano and West Moss Creeks in the vicinity of Alpine, Texas. (See Geological Survey Map, Alpine, Tex., quadrangle, scale (1:24,000). Existing project. The plan of improvement is an earthfill dam 6,300 feet long and 77 feet high on Alpine Creek for flood control, industrial and municipal water supply and recreation. A storage capacity of 12,710 acre-feet at spillway crest would include 4,530 acre-feet for flood control 5,100 acre-feet for water supply, 1,000 acre-feet for recreation and 2,080 acre-feet for sediment retention. West Moss Creek flows to the reservoir would be controlled by a saddle dam 2,100 feet long and 42 feet high. A diversion channel would intercept flows up to 4,000 c.f.s. from Paisano Creek, carry them about three miles, and empty into Alpine Lake. A diversion channel would also intercept West Moss Creek flows and diver them into the saddle dam area. A conveyance channel 3,900 feet long between the West Moss and Alpine Creeks would prevent permanent pooling behind the saddle dam on Moss Creek. Estimated Federal cost is $5,630,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Prior to construction, local interests must furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army they will: (1) acquire all lands, easements, rights-of-way and relocations, except railroads (all relocations in compliance with PL 91-646); (2) administer, maintain and operate the works after completion in accordance with regulations; (3) prior to construction, enter into a contract whereby all construction and interest costs incurred by the Federal Government allocated to water supply will be repayed in accordance with the Water Supply Act of 1958, as amended; (4) pay, contribute in kind, or repay with interest, one-half of the separable first cost of the project allocated to recreation and one-fourth of the separable first cost of the project allocated to fish and wildlife enhancement. Included therein is an amount for lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations for which will be given credit toward their reimbursable half of the separable first cost of recreation and one-fourth of the separable first cost of the project allocated to fish and wildlife enhancement; (5) bear all costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement of flood control, water supply, recreation and fish and wildlife areas and facilities on an average annual basis; (6) provide storage rights and hold and save the United States free from water rights claims due to construction and operation of the project. (Non-Federal first cost is $440,000.) Operations and conditions at the end of the fiscal year. Not applicable. 3. ARKANSAS RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE JOHN MARTIN DAM, COLO. Location. Improvements are on Arkansas River and tributaries in Colorado. More definite locations and descriptions of individual projects are in following paragraphs and individual reports by projects. Existing project. The Water Resources Development Act of 1974 authorized flood control phase of comprehensive plan of development of water resources of Arkansas River basin above John Martin Dam in Colorado. (PL 93-251, 93rd Congress, H.R. 10203 March 7, 1974) The plan of improvement consists of channel and levee improvements on the main stem of the Arkansas River from Brewster to Florence (a distance of 6 miles) and from Pueblo to Las Animas (a distance of 76 miles); Fountain Dam and Lake; and local protection projects at Florence, Portland, Pueblo (Dry Creek), and La Junta (Anderson and King Arroyos). It was recommended that along with the construction of the local protection project of La Junta the proposed channelization project include a reach, designated as reach 2-urban, to provide complete flopod protection for the city and urban area of La Junta. In addition, further studies will be made taking into consideration all structural and non-structural alternatives for flood-control and allied purposes to determine the environmental impact of the proposed improvements on the main stem of the Arkansas River from Pueblo to Las 17-2 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT Animas. These studies would be conducted prior to detailed design and construction of the improvements, and a report would be submitted to Congress dealing with the environmental effects of the improvements and alternatives. Also authorized was the construction of a short reach of the channel project to be used as a part of the study to evaluate the environmental impact of the channel improvement. The reach selected as most appropriate for the study was the 7-mile reach upstream from the local protection project at La Junta. This project is designated as Arkansas River Channelization Test Reach. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Prior to construction, local interests furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, for the local protection projects at Florence, Portland, Pueblo (Dry Creek), La Junta (Anderson and King Arroyos), La Junta (reach 2-urban, Arkansas River), and Arkansas River Floodway, Brewster to Florence, meet the following requirements: (1) acquire easements and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project, including easements required for flood zoning purposes in ponding areas; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works and free from claims as a result of flooding from residual interior drainage during operation of the project; (3) maintain and operate the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (4) make any alteration to existing improvements, other than railroad bridges and approaches connected therewith; (5) periodically inform all concerned that some flooding will continue to occur due to flows greater than design magnitude; (6) prohibit encroachment on the capacities of the interior drains and ponding areas and the flood-carrying capacities of the improved channels, and if ponding areas and capacities are impaired, provide substitute storage or equivalent pumping capacity; (7) take steps to prevent encroachment upon existing defined waterways tributary to the project, by zoning or other means, such as enlargement or other modification of the existing waterway facilities, to prevent minor flood problems on these tributary waterways from developing into problems of serious proportions; (8) provide guidance and leadership in preventing unwise and uneconomical future development of the flood plain areas by encouraging prudent use of floodproofing, land regulation planning, or other flood plain management techniques to reduce flood losses; and (9) hold and save the United States free from water right claims due to construction and operation of the project. For additional requirements see individual projects on following pages. All operations and costs for projects in authorized plan are in individual reports following. 3A.

Mex., on Canadian River, about one-fourth mile 17-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 downstream from confluence of Canadian and Conchas Rivers. (See Geological Survey State map of New Mexico, scale 1:500,000, and Geological Survey topographic map, Tucumcari quadrangle, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. For description of completed improvement and authorizing legislation see Annual Report for 1973. Federal cost was $15,811,171, including $2,279,326 for initiating construction of project under authority of Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. 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. No flood damages were prevented during fiscal year 1974; however, $63,800 sediment damages were prevented. Estimated total accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1974 were $1,026,900. Estimated irrigation benefits for fiscal year 1974 were $369,800. Estimated total accumulated irrigation benefits through fiscal year 1974 were $6,362,600. Pool evaluation at start of fiscal year was 4180.47 feet with corresponding storage of 176,519 acre-feet. Total releases for fiscal year were 76,439 acre-feet. Releases of 72,802 acre-feet were made to Arch Hurley Conservancy District and 1,769 acre-feet to Bell Ranch. Pool elevation on June 30, 1975 was 4,165.78 feet with corresponding storage of 107,608 acre-feet. Sediment deposition during the year was 340 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. 5. DODGE CITY, KANS. 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 will convey a flow of 40,000 cubic feet per second through city. Levees will be protected by flexible-type steel jetties. Four 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 was given to modification of project design to increase protection to maximum extent practicable without causing substantial increase in Federal and non-Federal costs. Plan adopted is based on a design flow of 40,000 c.f.s. with the added requirement that top of levees would not be lower than the profile for 60,000 c.f.s. flow. The top of levee profile for 60,000 c.f.s. would increase the floodway capacity so it would not be necessary to raise the bridges on Second Street and 14th Avenue. The bridge crossings would require sandbagging during floods of 60,000 c.f.s. magnitude. Revised frequency curves prepared since 1965 flood indicate 40,000 c.f.s. flow would occur once in 250 years. These frequency curves also show that a 90-year frequency has a discharge of about 48,000 c.f.s., and such a flow could be safely passed through the floodway as presently designed. Estimated Federal cost is $6,670,000. Cost of lands and damages is responsibility of local interests. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must acquire easement for flood-zoning purposes 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 was approved by the voters October 12, 1965. Formal assurances were received March 25, 1970. Local interests executed an agreement on 21 May 1973 in compliance with Section 221, 1970 Flood Control Act and PL 91-646 Uniform Relocations Assistance Act of 1970. Estimated non-Federal cost is $1,030,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was initiated with the contract award in April 1975 for the channels, levees and floodwalls. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction is continuing and is 10 per cent complete. 17-6 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 6. EL PASO, TEX. 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.) 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 arnd 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. A post-authorization change for the Northwest Area was submitted on 5 June 1973. The changed plan satisfies the 1933 U.S. and Mexico agreement on limited tributary discharge into the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas. Deferred elements now include five reservoirs, outlet conduit, and diversion channels 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 $35,500,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, loral interests must alter existing improvements, other than railroads or improvements constructed 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 tributary 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 occurring below structures. Estimated non-Federal cost is $12,500,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Northgate and Range Dams went into operation during latter part of fiscal year 1973. No flood damage prevention benefits occurred during fiscal year 1974. During this fiscal year flows into Northgate Dam were insufficient to induce storage. At Range Dam, between 10 July 1974 and 23 October 1974 several storms caused inflows. Maximum gage height was 6.60 feet with a corresponding storage of 53 acre-feet on 10 July 1974. Conditions at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is complete. Construction was continued in the Central Area. Sunrise and Mountain Park System were completed and placed in operation. A contract was awarded for construction of Pershing Dam and Phase I, Mountain Ave. Conduit. Construction was continued at Government Hill Outfall. Plans and Specifications for McKelligon-Fillmore System were continued. Planning, Phase II GDM and FDM for Oxidation Pond Dam and Buena Vista Diversion, for the Northwest Area is continuing. Planning for the Southeast Area will be resumed when the City of El Paso completes their alternate studies of this area. The construction for the Central Area of the project is about 35 percent complete. 7. GREAT BEND, KANS. Location.

Arkansas River levees and channel improvement consist of a left bank levee approximately 6.4 miles long and a right bank levee about 6.2 miles long. A tieback levee 6.0 miles long on the left bank of Arkansas River upstream from junction 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 84,000 cubic feet per second and Walnut Creek flows of 46,000 cubic feet per second. Estimated Federal cost is $15,900,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must comply with the requirements of Section 221, 1970 Flood Control Act and PL 91-646 Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1970; provide easements for flood zoning purposes in ponding areas; hold United 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 17-7 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 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. Highway 281 bridge across Arkansas River. A bond issue to finance requirements was defeated in special election on 10 August 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 to again present bond issue to the people. Formal assurances of local cooperation have not been requested. However, the Mayor and City Council have taken the position that these assurances will be furnished and that requirements will be met when requested. Estimated non-Federal cost is $3,400,000. Operation and results during fiscal year. Project planning continued during the fiscal year. Work is continuing on the Plan Formulation Memorandum, Phase I of the GDM. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is about 45 percent complete. 8. JOHN MARTIN RESERVOIR PROJECT, COLO. Location. On Arkansas River 1,159 miles upstream from its mouth, 300 miles downstream from its source, in Bent County, about 18 miles upstream from city of Lamar, Colo. (See Geological Survey maps for Lamar and Las Animas (Colo.) quadrangles, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. For description of completed improvement and authorizing legislation see Annual Report for 1973. Federal cost is $15,182,380. Local cooperation. Section 2 Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. Routine maintenance and operation continued. Regulation of conservation storage continued under rules and regulations of Arkansas River Compact. No flood damages were prevented during fiscal year 1974; however, $173,600 sediment damages were prevented. Estimated total flood and sediment damages prevented by project through fiscal year 1974 were $73,136,400. Estimated irrigation benefits for fiscal year 1974 were $142,000. Estimated total accumulative irrigation benefits through fiscal year 1974 were $19,039,100. Maximum pool elevation of 3,792.41 feet with corresponding storage of 8,758 acre-feet occurred on 7 April 1975. Total releases for fiscal year were 50,250 acre-feet. Releases attributed to irrigation benefits amounted to 8,626 acre-feet. Reservoir was empty July 1, 1974 until November 12, 1974 when winter storage began. Sediment deposition was 600 acre-feet. Condition at end of fiscal year. Storage and operation of reservoir for irrigation began in March 1943. Construction of dam and appurtenances was completed in October 1948 and are in good condition and in operation. A letter of intent for cost sharing has been received from State of New Mexico, for additional recreation facilities at the project. 9. LAS ANIMAS, 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 9.3 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; 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 drainage of 187,000 cubic feet per second, reduced by regulatory effect of Barrier Dam, (now replaced by Pueblo Dam) near Pueblo, Colo. Estimated Federal cost is $4,300,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) 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. Local interests will also be required to comply with Section 221, 1970 Flood Control Act and PL 91-646 Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1970. In addition, construction will begin concurrent with or subsequent to replacement of United States Highway 50 bridge across Arkansas River. 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, Colorado, 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 17-8 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT District pledged in writing that it favored project and would furnish required local cooperation. Estimated non-Federal cost is $280,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Land acquisition continued during the year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Plans and specifications are complete. Award of channel clearing, levee and floodwall contract dependent on completion of land acquisition. 10. LAS CRUCES, N. MEX. 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., quadrangle, scale 1:62,500.) Existing project. Consists of Las Cruces Dam which extends across Alameda and Las Cruces Arroyos. The dam will be provided with an uncontrolled outlet and spillway. Las Cruces Dam, about 1,000 feet east of Las Cruces city limits, will be earthfill construction 15,570 feet long and 67 feet high with both slopes protected. Discharges from dam will be conveyed downstream in channel of Alameda Arroyo to the Dona Ana Drain. Reservoir capacity is 13,200 acre-feet at maximum water surface and 8,203 acre-feet at spillway crest. Controlled drainage area is 28.9 square miles. Estimated Federal cost is $4,390,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation. ) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local interests must alter existing improvements, other than railroads; prevent encroachment upon the outlet channel from Las Cruces Dam to Dona Ana Drain to maintain a 290 cubic feet per second channel capacity; design construct and maintain a minimum 290 cubic feet per second multi-purpose outlet channel from the Corps' outlet channel along the existing Dona Ana, Mesilla and Del Rio Drains to the Rio Grande; inform citizens that residual flooding may occur downstream of the dam; and prevent encroachment on the reservoir area that would reduce its storage. The estimated non-federal cost is $1,710,000. Local interests signed on agreement satisfying all requirements on 15 December 1972. All lands have been acquired. The City of Las Cruces requested the Campus Dam portion be deleted from the project. The New Mexico State University plans to solve the Campus Arroyo flood problem. Operations and results during fiscal year. Major accomplishments during the fiscal year were the completion of embankment contract and a portion of the outlet channel. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction on the project was initiated in June 1973 and is about 96 percent complete. 11. LOS ESTEROS LAKE, N. MEX. Location. Los Esteros Lake is in Guadalupe County, on Pecos River, at river mile 766.4 approximately 7 miles north 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 consists of an earth and rock fill dam 1,950 feet long and 212 feet maximum height above the steambed. Project purposes are flood control, irrigation and sediment retention. An unlined, open rock cut about 1,000 feet back from the left abutment serves as an uncontrolled spillway. The outlet works, located in the left abutment, consists of a control tower, intake structure with gates, and a 10 foot diameter concrete tunnel with a terminal flip bucket energy dissipater. Storage capacity at the spillway crest is 449,000 acre-feet which includes 82,000 storage, 200,000 acre-feet irrigation storage and 167,000 acre-feet flood control storage. Surface area of the reservoir at the spillway crest is 10,740 acres. Contributing drainage area at the damsite is 2,479 square miles. Authorized project also includes modification of the existing Alamogordo Dam and Reservoir on the Pecos River, (river mile 710.8) about 56 miles downstream from Los Esteros Lake. This modification provided for a reservoir capacity of 210,000 acre-feet by raising the dam embankment 10.5 feet and constructing an emergency spillway through the ridge on the right abutment. Changes to the service spillway were to limit the discharge to the capacity of the existing chute spillway and tainters. Project document also reallocated the storage in Alamogordo Dam and Reservoir to exclusive flood control use. Subsequent to project authorization, the Bureau of Reclamation modified the existing structure to its feasible limit without major reconstruction. This modification consisted of raising the dam height 16 feet, altering the existing service spillway to limit the discharge to 56,000 c.f.s., and constructing an uncontrolled emergency spillway in the left abutment. The spillway capacity is 206,000 c.f.s. Storage allocation studies in response to authorizing document provides for transfer of all but 20,000 acre-feet of irrigation storage to Los Esteros Lake with remainder of storage in Alamogordo Reservoir reserved for flood control purpose. This transfer will be done under terms of the Pecos River Compact with consent of the Carlsbad Irrigation District. The estimated Federal (Corps of Engineers) cost for Los Esteros Lake is $23,700,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) 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 17-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 contribute to operation and maintenance costs an annual 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. Because they will realize equivalent benefits from storage capacity in Los Esteros Lake, they will be required to continue to fulfill their repayment obligation. Project was authorized subject to the provision that "no appropriation shall be made for construction of Los Esteros Lake until satisfactory arrangements have been made by the State of New Mexico for the transfer of irrigation storage from the Alamogordo 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 Relcamation, Carlsbad Irrigation District, and engineer advisors to Texas and New Mexico commissioners participated in studies. Completed studies have been approved and accepted by Pecos River Compact Commission and State Engineer of New Mexico. A memorandum of agreement has been executed between the Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation who has executed an agreement with the Carlsbad Irrigation District for transfer of this irrigation storage from the Alamogordo Reservoir to Los Esteros Lake. Ft. Sumner Irrigation District submitted a formal protest of the agreement between U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Carlsbad - Irrigation District. The State Engineer approved the transfer of irrigation storage. After lower court decisions, the New Mexico Supreme Court upheld State Engineer approval of transfer of irrigation storage on 18 October 1974. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was completed on the Phase I of the access road. A contract was awarded 25 June 1975 for construction of the outlet works, embankment, spillway, project buildings and Phase II of the access road. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction and real estate activities continued during the fiscal year. 12. PECOS, TEX. Location. At Pecos, Reeves County, Texas on the Pecos River streams and tributaries at mile 312. (Geological Survey Maps, Pecos East and Pecos West, quadrangles, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. The authorized project consisted of a combination of diversions, floodways, and levees to protect the city and agricultural lands from floods originating on Hurd's Well Draw, Cottonwood Creek, Nine Mile Draw and Salt Draw, together with a levee to protect the city from Pecos River overflows. Cost of Salt Draw Floodway rights-of-way exceeded the city's financial capability so a modified plan was proposed and accepted by the city, which eliminated the Salt Draw Floodway and the Nine Mile Draw wing levees that protected only the agricultural lands. The modified plan diverts Cottonwood Creek and Hurd's Well Draw into Sand Lake and then to the Pecos River north of the city. Levees on the north and east sides protects the city from Pecos River overflows. Estimated Federal cost is $5,600,000. Local cooperation. Prior to construction responsible local agencies give satisfactory assurances to the Secretary of the Army that they will: (1) provide all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction of the project; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works including any damage which may result from temporary ponding of interior runoff and effects on sewage systems; (3) maintain and operate the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; and (4) make any alterations to existing improvements, other than railroads, which may be required because of the construction works. Estimated non-Federal cost is $812,000. Operations and conditions at the end of the fiscal year. Preconstruction planning continued. Hydrology design memorandum was completed. A contract was awarded for the Phase I general design memorandum in October 1974. 13. RIO GRANDE BASIN, N. MEX. Location. Improvements are on Rio Grande and 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 authorized flood control phase of comprehensive plan of development of water resources of Rio Grande basin in New Mexico (H. Doc. 243, 81st Cong., 1st sess.) with exception of Chiflo Dam and Reservoir and spillway gate structure at Chamita Dam. Although recommended Chiflo Dam and Reservoir was deleted from authorized plan, it was excluded 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., 2nd sess.). The act also stipulated that work should be prosecuted in accordance with joint agreement approved by Secretary of the Army and Acting Secretary of the Interior on November 21, 1957. In addition, under that agreement Bureau of Reclamation was given responsibility for construction, operation, and maintenance of 17-10 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT 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. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation and Table 17-C for existing projects.) All operations and costs for projects in authorized plan are in individual reports on the following pages. 13A. ABIQUIU DAM, N. MEX. Location. Project is one unit of flood control phase of comprehensive plan for Rio Grande and tributaries, New Mexico. Abiquiu Dam is on Rio Chama near town of Abiquiu, N. Mex., about 32 miles upstream from confluence of Rio Chama and Rio Grande. (See Geological Survey Map for plan and profile of Rio Chama, N.

For description of completed improvements and authorizing legislation see Annual Report for 1973. Federal cost is $21,272,300. Operations and results during fiscal year. Routine maintenance and operation continued. Storage and flows were regulated in accordance with regulations prescribed by Rio Grande Compact Commission. On 1 July 1974 the pool elevation was 6,116.53 feet with a corresponding storage 4,006 acre feet. The reservoir was regulated for flood control from 3 July 1974 until 28 August 1974 and 23 April 1975 through 30 June. 1975 to prevent flood damage in the Rio Chama. The maximum pool (6193.86 feet) and storage (110,280 acre-feet) occured on 3 June 1975. On 30 June 1975 the pool elevation was 6,170.60 feet with a corresponding storage of 53,740 acre-feet. On 14 December 1974 a release of 14,690 acre-feet of San Juan Chama water was made from El Vado reservoir and stored temporarily for the city of Albuquerque, NM. There was 1,340 acre-feet of sediment deposition during the year. No flood damages prevented during fiscal year. Sediment damages prevented were $78,400. Accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by the project since completion were $4,291,400 through fiscal year 1974. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project was placed in operation in February 1963. 13B.COCHITI LAKE, N. MEX. Location. Dam is at 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 5.4 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 Santa Fe River. An uncontrolled spillway with a 460-foot-long ogee-weir and a 160-foot notch 10.5 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 $93,500,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Operations and results during fiscal year. With the construction complete on the embankment and allied facilities the project was reclassified from a construction to an operation project in June 1975. On 30 June 1975 the pool elevation was 5,312.71 feet with a corresponding storage of 37,898 acre-feet. The maximum pool elevation was 5,313.05 feet with a storage of 38,250 acre-feet on 26 June 1975. The reservoir was operated for flood control from 18 June through 20 June 1975. No flood damages prevented during fiscal year 1974, because the project was not in operation. Conditions at end of fiscal year. The embankment contract was completed. Planning was completed for the visitor's center and Cochiti Recreation Area facilities.

Mex., on Jemez River about 2 miles upstream from confluence of Jemez River and Rio Grande, about 5 miles northwest of Bernalillo, N. Mex. (See Geological Survey Map for Bernalillo quadrangle, scale 1:125,000.) Existing project. For description of completed improvements and authorizing legislation see Annual Report for 1973. Estimated federal cost is $4,177,417. Operations and results during fiscal year. Routine maintenance and operation continued. On 1 July 1974 the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was regulated for sediment control for short periods during April, May and June. The maximum pool elevation for the year was 5166.82 feet with a storage of 5,428 acre-feet on 27 April 1975. Sediment deposition during the year was 300 acre-feet. No flood damages prevented by the project during fiscal year 1974. Sediment benefits during fiscal year 1974 were $11,200. Estimated total accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by the project through fiscal year 1974 were $1,984,200. Condition at eud of fiscal year. Construction of project was initiated May 1950 and completed May 1954. 13E.RIO GRANDE FLOODWAY, N. MEX. Location. Project is one unit of flood control phase of comprehensive plan of improvement for Rio Grande 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 17-D on Rio Grande Floodway.) 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 Reclamation 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 17-D on existing project and Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) 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. Local interests will also be required to comply with requirements of Section 221, 1970 Flood Control Act and PL 91-646 Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1970. 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. Right-of-entry was obtained in May 15, 1967, from the Indian Pueblo of Santa Clara, the principal landowner affected by the project. The negotiations between the city and Santa Clara Pueblo to obtain formal assurances failed to materialize. The city was notified that the five-year period in which to comply with their requirements had begun on August 2, 1973. The city has not given indication they plan positive action to resolve the problem. Operations and results during the fiscal year. Preconstruction planning for the Espanola Valley unit of the floodway was completed. The failure to obtain formal assurances resulted in the District reporting on 2 November 1972 funds available for construction to be excess. Flood damages prevented by the completed floodway project for fiscal year 1974 were $95,200. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by the floodway project through fiscal year 1974 amounted to $1,313,200. The peak flow of the Rio Grance through the middle valley was 6,280 17-12 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT c.f.s. at Albuquerque on 24 May 1975 and 7,820 c.f.s. at San Acacia on 26 May 1975. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of Albuquerque and Cochiti to Rio Puerco units of Rio Grande Floodway project is complete. San Acacia to Bosque del Apache unit is deferred for restudy. The Truth or Consequences (Hot Springs) Unit was reclassified to the active category on 18 July 1973 based on a letter of intent to cooperate from the city of Truth or Consequences dated May 31, 1973 and Sierra County, dated June 4, 1973. Hydrology and general design memoranda for Espanola Valley unit have been approved. Preconstruction planning was completed and five-year notice issued on August 2, 1972. 13F. TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES (HOT SPRINGS) UNIT, N. MEX. Location. Vicinity City of Truth or Consequences (Hot Springs), New Mexico. Existing project. Plan of improvement will include 4 miles of 20 foot high levees with positive seepage control, an interior drainage system, and 5 miles of diversion channels. The diversion channels would be required for control of floods on tributary arroyos at and in the vicinity of Truth or Consequences. Estimated Federal cost is $11,400,000. (See table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Prior to construction local interests must furnish assurances satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army that they will: (1) acquire all lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for construction and operation of the project; (2) hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works and free from claims as a result of flooding from residual interior drainage during operation of the project; (3) maintain and operate the works after completion; (4) make any alteration to existing improvements, other than railroad bridges and approaches connected therewith, which may be required because of the construction works; (5) Provide guidance and leadership by encouraging prudent use of flood proofing, land regulation planning, or other flood plain management techniques to reduce the flood losses. Letters of intent have been received from the City of Truth or Consequences (dated 31 May 1973) and the County of Sierra (dated 4 June 1973). Estimated non-Federal cost is $2,640,000. Operations and condition at the end of fiscal year. Capability for initiation of preconstruction planning has been reflected for next fiscal year. 14. TRINIDAD LAKE, 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 5,870 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 acre-feet irrigation, and 4,500 acre-feet for recreation, a total of 114,500 acre-feet. Reservoir controls a drainage area of 606 square miles and will be operated for flood and sediment control, irrigation, and recreation purposes. Estimated Federal cost is $43,800,000 (CE) & $160,000 (USBR). (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) 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 project cost 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 actual amortization period of 70 years; contribution 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 irrigators) is required to bear 19.82 percent of annual joint-use operation and maintenance costs and 2.52 percent of major replacement costs presently estimated 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 Irrigation Co.'s storage rights from existing Model Reservoir to Trinidad Reservoir. Storage for recreation purposes not included in authorized project plan; however, project document noted that substantial benefits would be derived from such use and that there was strong local support for such storage. Provision was made in project plan for 4,500 acre-feet of permanent storage for recreation; however, since flows of Purgatoire River are fully appropriated, water rights will have to be acquired by non-Federal interests. Estimated cost of initial filling of pool is $250,000 and replacement of evaporation losses will cost an estimated $21,400 per year. Lands and facilities for recreation will be provided at Federal expense, but cost of water rights will be borne by the State of Colorado. Non-Federal cost is $6,686,000. 17-13 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 Assurances of local cooperation received from City of Trinidad and Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District were formally accepted May 11, 1967, after execution of irrigation repayment contract. Stipulated decree changing place of storage of water rights decreed to existing Model Reservoir from that reservoir to proposed Trinidad Reservoir was conditionally approved by Las Animas County, Colorado, District Court April 15, 1965, subject to ultimate execution and approval of irrigation repayment contract, which qualifying condition is now removed. Purgatoire River Water Conservancy District, representing water users, signed prime irrigation repayment contract January 21, 1967. Prime contract was then signed by Regional Director, Region 7, Bureau of Reclamation February 10, 1967, under delegated authority of U.S. Department 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. Real estate acquisition was completed. Planning continued on master plan. Construction continued on embankment contract. Construction was completed for State Highway #12 relocation. Condition at end of fiscal year. Progress on the embankment contract is continuing. The project is about 74 per cent complete. 15.

MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IOWA, TO MOUTH (RULO, NEBR., TO MOUTH) Location. Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri River, which flows southeasterly 2,315 miles (1960 mileage) across or along seven States to the Mississippi River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description see page 1149, Annual Report for 1932. Practically entire length of section from Kansas City to mouth is within the State of Missouri. The river is commercially navigable from Sioux City to the .mouth, a distance of 732 miles. The portion of project in Kansas City District extends from Rulo, Nebraska to the mouth, a distance of 498 miles. Previous projects. For details see page 1891 of Annual Report for 1915, and pages 1153 and 1175 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. A channel of 9-foot depth and width not less than 300 feet, to be obtained by revetment of banks, construction of permeable dikes to contract and stabilize waterway, cutoffs to eliminate long bends, closing minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging as required. Section under improvement (mouth to upper end of Rulo Bend) is 498.4 miles (1960 mileage) long. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage are 16 and 38 feet, respectively. Estimated cost for new work is $259,200,000 (July 1975) exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. (See table 20-C for authorizing legislation and table 20-B for total cost of existing projects to June 30, 1975.) Local cooperation. Project provides that cooperation from benefited localities may be required, in case a comprehensive plan is adopted by Congress for an apportionment of expense, where any improvement confers special benefit; and receipt of contributions from private parties, to be expended with Government funds upon authorized works where such would be in interest of navigation, is authorized by 1915 River and Harbor Act. Secretary of the Army approved general principle of cooperative construction on Missouri River below Kansas City on basis that 25 percent of cost of any special installation shall be paid by the United States and 75 percent by local interests. Total contributed by local interests in cooperation with the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1964, was $675,663, of which $8,647 was returned to contributors. Local interests must share in cost of recreation facilities in accordance with provisions of the Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965. Local interests have contributed $164,185 for cost sharing on construction of recreation in addition to constructing portions of the facilities. Terminal facilities. Facilities for transferring grain, petroleum products, and other commodities are maintained by private interests at various locations on this section of the river. Facilities are listed in table 20-D. Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular funds, new work: Construction by contract of 39 dikes and 21 dike extensions totaling 13,173 linear feet, and 111 lengths of revetment totaling 64,183 linear feet at a total cost of $3,600,603. Engineering and design, supervision and administration, and survey and layout of channel and bank stabilization works was accomplished at a cost of $265,303. Construction of recreation facilities on a cost sharing basis in accordance with Public Law 89-72 was continued at a cost of $44,217. Work consisted of construction of boat ramps, parking areas, and engineering for development of future facilities. Maintenance: Repair by contract of 51,761 linear feet of dike and 198,384 linear feet of revetment, at a cost of $4,576,286. In addition, following work was accomplished by hired labor: Repair of 1,812 linear feet of dikes and 9,910 linear feet of revetment, a cost of $583,778; maintenance of U. S. Government dredges in standby status at a cost of $399,223; removal of 2,003,251 cubic yards of material at 17 localities by contract dredge at a cost of $2,200,036; real estate management, $3,126; surveys and mapping, $640,720; stream gaging, environmental studies and special working data, $780,267; engineering and design, $184,870; surveys and layout of construction, $35,304; and supervision and administration, $279,379. Income from grants, sale of maps and charts, outleasing of reservoir land, and miscellaneous receipts totaled $277. Condition at end of fiscal year. Work on this section of the project (Rulo, Nebr., to mouth) is about 84 percent complete. Although additional 20-2 KANSAS CITY, MO., DISTRICT dikes and revetment are required to attain full project dimensions, a channel with a minimum depth of 8.0 feet is available throughout the navigation season (generally Mar. thru Nov.). River access sites have been completed at eleven locations as follows: Nodaway Park, mile 462.1; Atchison, Kansas (Independence Park, mile 423.0); Leavenworth Park, mile 397.7; River Front Park, mile 363.0; La Benite Park, mile 353.0; Lexington State Park, mile 316.5; Miami River Front Park, mile 263.0; Stump Island at Glasgow, mile 226.0; Taylor's Landing, mile 185.2; Mokane Park, mile 134.5; and Waverly, Mo., mile 283.6. Planning for construction of additional recreational facilities is progressing. 2. OTHER AUTHORIZED NAVIGATION PROJECTS See table 20-E. Flood Control 3. BLUE RIVER CHANNEL, KANSAS CITY, MO. Location. Along the Blue River and tributaries in Jackson County, Missouri. Existing project. Preliminary plans consist of 12.0 miles of improved channel along the Blue River within Kansas City, Missouri. The new channel would have bottom widths ranging from 70 feet to 213 feet, with sections and appurtenant structures designed to fit local conditions. Project was authorized by 1970 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 91-332, 91st Cong., 2d sess.). Estimated Federal cost of construction (1975) is $78,200,000 and estimated non-Federal cost of lands, damages and relocations is $11,900,000. Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies. The City of Kansas City, Missouri, passed a resolution February 23, 1968, updated on September 13, 1974, to provide the required assurances of local cooperation when requested. Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular funds, new work: Phase II design memorandum was initiated and was underway. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was 29 percent complete. 4. BROOKFIELD LAKE, YELLOW CREEK, MO. Location. Damsite is on Yellow Creek, a tributary of the Grand River, about 5 miles northeast of Brookfield, in Linn County, Missouri. Existing project. Preliminary plan provides for an earthfill dam about 4,800 feet long and approximately 90 feet high with an uncontrolled service spillway in the right abutment. Total reservoir storage capacity would be 215,600 acre-feet, of which 117,200 acre-feet would be available for flood control, 20,900 acre-feet for sediment reserve and 77,500 acre-feet of multipurpose storage for water quality control and recreation. Project was authorized by the 1965 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 241, 89th Cong., 1st sess.). Estimated cost (1973) is $22,900,000. Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Local interests are required to share in cost of recreation facilities in accordance with Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965. Operations and results during fiscal year. Due to questionable economic justification, preparation of the site selection design memorandum was deferred pending findings of the Grand River Basin reanalysis which was underway. Condition at end of fiscal year. Grand River Basin reanalysis was nearing completion. 5. CHARITON-LITTLE CHARITON BASINS, MO. (1965 ACT) Location. Project is in Chariton and Little Chariton River Basins in north-central Missouri, the Mussel Fork unit is in Chariton County, the Little Chariton River unit in Chariton and Randolph Counties, and Shoal Creek unit in Putnam County.

Operation and maintenance, general: Locks and dams operated as required and necessary repairs and improvements made thereto and to operator's quarters, grounds and esplanades. Costs were $3,425,458 for Pittsburgh District, $3,472,301 for Huntington District and $5,359,- 096 for Louisville District. Condition at end of fiscal year.Navigation system of 25 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 22-D shows 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 be 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, Hannibal, Belleville, Racine, Greenup, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, McAlpine, Cannelton, Newburgh and Uniontown replacement locks and dams are in operation, replacing 32 old low-lift locks and dams. Construction of Willow Island locks and dam to replace locks and dams 15, 16 and 17 was initiated in fiscal year 1967; and Smithland locks and dam to replace locks and dams 50 and 51 was 22-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 initiated in fiscal year 1971. For total cost of existing project, see Table 22-B. 2. OPEN CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER Location. Under jurisdiction of district engineer in whose district the work is located. Portion of river included in project extends 974.7 miles from head of river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to mouth of Cache River (Mound City, Ill.). Open channel 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 crafts. 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 points. Estimated cost of these items (1954) is $6,565,000. Operation of snag boats on Ohio River below Pennsylvania State line was included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. See Table 22-E for authorizing legislation. Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of January 21, 1927, authorizing construction of ice piers for general open channel work, imposes condition that before work is begun on any pier, local interests convey to the United States free of cost such riparian rights an may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2d sess.) Existing ice piers are adequate for present purposes and local cooperation is not needed since no additional construction is under consideration. River and Harbor Act of July 3, 1930, provides for reforestation of sloughs of Kentucky Peninsula and bank protection and that no expense shall be incurred by the United States for acquiring lands required for purpose of this improvement (H. Doc. 409. 69th Cong., 1st sess.). However, since no serious overbank erosion has occurred since bank revetment in 1933-34, reforestation is not considered justifiable at this time and no local cooperation is required. Operations and results during fiscal year.Operation and maintenance, general: Dredging, where required to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project depth at minimum pool conditions, was executed. Dike and revetments maintained and routine work of maintaining navigation aids, removing snags, making channel studies, hydrographic surveys and mapping was performed as required. Channel soundings, hydrographic surveys, stream gaging operations, channel inspections and aids to navigation, and miscellaneous inspections and reports cost $590,688. Dredging by hired labor: Huntington District 325,430 cubic yards at $492,181 and Louisville District, 577,917 cubic yards at $366,324, and dredging by contract: Huntington District 75,626 cubic yards at $89,995; and Louisville District 1,756,877 cubic yards at $1,451,205. Contract repair of the revetment at Kentucky Peninsula was accomplished in the fiscal year at a cost of $113,816 and hired labor maintenance thereon was accomplished at a cost of $6,554. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work under this project is substantially complete, since it is not anticipated that work on inactive portion of project will be accomplished. In addition to dredging, local stabilization of channel has been effected at various points by construction of dikes and revetment. Work which remains consists of dredging to widen channels at certain points to project depth. 22-4 OHIO RIVER TABLE 22-A COST AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT See Section Total Cost to in Text Project Funding FY 72 FY 73 FY 74 FY 75 June 30, 1975 1.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement see this heading under Ohio River. 2. CUMBERLAND RIVER, TENN. AND KY. Location. Formed by junction of Poor and Clover Forks in Harlan County, Ky., about 694.2 miles above its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from whence it makes a loop southwestward into Tennessee, passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to Kentucky, emptying into Ohio River near Smithland, Ky. (See Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee and Kentucky.) Previous projects. For details see pages 1898 and 1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of Annual Report for 1938. *All cost and financial statements for projects are listed at the end of this chapter. All other tables are referenced in text and also appear at the end of this chapter. 23-1 Navigation Page Page REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 Existing project. Below Nashville: For information concerning construction of locks and dams A, B, C, D, E and F, required dredging and related costs to secure 6 foot navigation, see pages 1069 and 1070 of Annual Report for 1962. Improvement of Cumberland River between mouth and Nashville was authorized for 9-foot navigation; increased project depth to be obtained by construction of three moderate height dams with lockage facilities, designated as Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace existing locks A to F inclusive below Nashville and lock 1 above Nashville. (See table 23-B for authorizing legislation.) Subsequent authorities provided for construction of hydroelectric powergenerating facilities at Cheatham Dam, river mile 148.7, and 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 consisting of a dam, lock, and powerplant near mile 30.6 on lower Cumberland River and a canal fQr navigation and other purposes connecting this reservoir with reservoir formed by Kentucky Dam on the Tennessee River. The project is known as Barkley Dam and Lake Barkley. Provision of interconnecting canal, involving excavation of a channel through narrow watershed divide about 2.5 miles upstream from damsite, permits alternative routes available for navigation between either Cumberland or Tennessee Rivers and Ohio River, and affords 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 $176,930,200 (October 1975). (See table 23-C for listing of principal features.) 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 Lock and Dam to a range of about 7 feet at Nashville. Seasonal variation in normal headwater levels at Lake Barkley is 5 feet, which in combination with power flows produces fluctuations up to 10 feet below Cheatham Lock and Dam. Above Nashville: See pages 1693 thru 1696 of Annual Report for 1950 for information including statistical data on locks and dams 1 to 17 and 21. Completion information is shown on pages 1454 of the report for 1951. See Table 23-B for Authorizing Legislation. Construction of Old Hickory, Carthage, and Celina Dams above Nashville was also authorized for navigation and power. The dam and reservoir authorized for construction on Cumberland River near Carthage, Tenn., has been redesignated as Cordell Hull Dam and Reservoir. Cost of Old Hickory and Cordell Hull projects, including locks, is estimated as $133,701,700 (October 1975). Estimated cost of Celina Dam (1959) is $39,100,000. (See table 23-C at end of chapter for listing of principal features.) Under flood conditions as presently regulated, including effect of surcharge operation of Old Hickory project, extreme fluctuations of stage in this section of river vary from a range of 35 feet at Nashville (mile 191) to a maximum of 46 feet immediately below Old Hickory Dam (mile 216.2), and from an 8-foot variation in headwater at dam to 36 feet in vicinity of Carthage, Tenn., (mile 313.5), present head of navigation; with variations up to 35 feet at Celina, Tenn. (mile 380.8) and 29 feet in tailwater at Wolf Creek Dam (mile 460.9). Maximum fluctuations under ordinary conditions from power flows vary from about 7 feet at Nashville to 14 and 3 feet, respectively, in tailwater and headwater of Old Hickory Dam, and at other key points as follows: 13 feet at Carthage; 18 feet at Celina; and 19 feet at Wolf Creek Dam. Further details on project authorization for river sections below and above Nashville are shown on Table 23-B. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for 6- foot navigation project.

Dam planned at mile 15.6 on Martins Fork of Clover Fork, Cumberland River, about 10 miles southeast of city of Harlan, with reservoir extending about 6 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 general accordance with recommendations. Dam will be concrete type, about 504 feet long and rising 97 feet above streambed. Outlet works provide for release of water from reservoir at varying levels. Drainage area above damsite is 55.7 square miles. At full pool level, spillway crest at elevation 1341 above mean sea level, reservoir will cover 578 acres and contain 21,120 acre-feet of storage capacity. Provision is made for 17,450 acre-feet of reservoir capacity between elevations 1341 and 1300 for control of floods in winter and spring season, and 14,360 acre-feet (El. 1341-1310) during summer and fall, in conjunction with which storage of 3,090 acre-feet would be available on a seasonal basis to meet streamflow requirements for water quality control and fish life below the dam. A minimum permanent pool of 3,670 acre-feet, 274 acres in extent, will thus be provided during potential flood seasons; and during late spring and summer when flood storage can be reduced, the lake is to be operated generally at a higher level (El. 1310) to maintain a larger surface area of 340 acres for recreation and to provide the required seasonal storage for releases of water during critical lowflow periods. Project will prevent major portion of average annual flood losses at Harlan and result in significant stage reductions with related benefits along rural reaches and at other urban areas downstream. Estimated cost of project, including planned initial recreation development, is $17,800,000 (October 1975). Local cooperation. Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965 applies in regard to non- Federal participation in recreation development, in addition to which local interests are to provide certain safeguards to ensure functioning of reservoir as intended. At this time, assurances have not been received for any non-Federal participation in the recreational development on this project as required under P.L. 89-72. Therefore, initially recreation will not be developed to the full potential and only minimum facilities will be provided. Operations and results during fiscal year. Engineering and design continued.

CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHIO RIVER For report on this improvement see this heading under Ohio River. 2. GREEN AND BARREN RIVERS, KY. Location. Green River rises in Casey County, Ky., flows northwesterly 370 miles, and empties into Ohio River about 8 miles above Evansville, Ind. Barren River rises in Monroe County, Ky., flows northwesterly 130 miles, and empties into Green River one-half mile above lock 4 and 149.5 miles above mouth of Green River. 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 24- C 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. (See table 24-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Considered adequate for existing commerce. (See table 24-D on terminal facilities.) Operations and results during fiscal year.Consisted of operation and maintenance of locks and dams, 1 to 3, Green 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. Operation activity was discontinued at lock 4 Green River and lock and dam 1 Barren River in January 1974. The residences and associated buildings and certain real estate at both locations were disposed of in January 1975. Routine maintenance was performed. Condition at end offiscal 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 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. Controlling 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. KENTUCKY RIVER, KY. Location. Formed by confluence of its North and Middle Forks about 4 miles east of Beattyville in east central Kentucky, (South Fork joining the main stream at that place), flows northwesterly and empties into Ohio River at Carrollton, Ky., mile 545.8 below Pittsburgh, Pa. (See Geological Survey Chart for State of Kentucky; scale 1:500,000.) Existing project. Provides for 14 locks and fixed dams to give, in connection with improvement of Ohio River, slack water navigation of 6 feet minimum depth from Ohio River to points on the three forks a short distance above Beattyville, Ky. Length of 6-foot-depth project on main system of Kentucky River is 258.6 miles to confluence of Middle and North Forks. Cost of completed new work is $4,176,749.

Rises in northern Pennsylvania, flows northwestward into New York, thence generally southwestward to Pittsburgh, Pa., where it joins with Monongahela River to form the Ohio. It is 325 miles long. (See Geological Survey Charts for western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) Existing project. Provides for eight locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation from Pittsburgh, Pa., 72 miles to above East Brady, Pa. Controlling depth through canalized portion is 9 feet at normal pool level, and channel width varies from minimum of 200 feet to full width of river at mouth. Cost of new work for completed project is $18,157,860. (See tables 26-B and 26-C for authorizing legislation and locks and dams on Allegheny River, Pa.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. City of Pittsburgh constructed a modern wharf for river freight. There are numerous privately maintained terminals and docks, consisting of tipples, various types of hoists, chutes, and pipelines for use in loading and unloading coal, stone, sand, gravel, petroleum products, steel products, and other commodities. Transshipment of freight between river and railroads is handled at privately owned river-torail terminals. Existing private terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt in Pittsburgh District of type of commerce now in existence. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Locks were operated as required and necessary repairs made to structures to maintain them in serviceable condition at cost of $1,170,498; maintenance repairs at locks and dams were accomplished at cost of $535,521. Condition at end offiscal year. Existing project is complete, last lock was placed in service in 1938. All locks and dams are in good condition. Navigation channel has been widened at certain points and, in general, maintained to project depth, thus affording adequate depth for passage of commercial tows. 2.

(See Geological Survey Charts for southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.) Previous project. For details see Annual Report for 1963, page 1070. Existing project. Provides for improvement of river by 10 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 dams 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 and 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 and the reconstruction of dam 4 have allowed for removal of obsolete locks and dams 5 and 6. Recently authorized Grays Landing lock and dam and Point Marion replacement lock will replace existing obsolete lock and dam 7 and lock 8, respectively. 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 of 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 (1975), exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects is $213,900,000. (See tables 26- B, 26-D, and 26-E for authorizing legislation and locks and dams on Monongahela River, Pa. and W. Va., and total costs of existing project to end of fiscal year.) 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 26-2 PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 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 pipelines are also privately maintained for petroleum and acid products. Marine ways are maintained by some of the larger industries. There are also several terminals for rail-to-river and river-to-rail transfer. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preconstruction planning was initiated on Grays Landing lock and dam, to replace obsolete lock and dam 7 and Point Marion lock, to replace lock 8. Operation and maintenance, general: Locks were operated as required and necessary repairs were made to maintain them in a serviceable condition at cost of $2,717,527; maintenance repairs to locks and dams cost $901,- 193.

A revised draft of the recreation agreement between the Government and the State of West Virginia was forwarded to Director, Department of Natural Resources and the Deputy Attorney General, State of West Virginia on May 12, 1971. The State considered the planned initial recreation too costly to operate and suggested a revised plan to provide for more concentrated initial recreation development. A revised draft contract for cost sharing under PL 89-72 was submitted to the Director of Natural Resources for execution on March 10, 1972. To date, there has been no further action by the State of West Virginia. The City of Weston has executed the contract between the City and the United States, covering the water supply aspects of the project as it affects the City of Weston, which was forwarded to them on March 8, 1972. The contract has been approved by the State Attorney General and is now ready for execution by the Government. Although recognizing the potential benefit of including storage in the project for future water supply, the Clarksburg City Council, Clarksburg Water Board and Harrison County Court are unable to submit proper assurances of their intent to repay the allocated costs for the appropriate storage. Since there is no indication that acceptable assurances will be obtained from the City of Clarksburg for reimbursement, water supply storage for the City of Clarksburg has been deleted from the project. Legislation relieving Stonewall Jackson Lake, W. Va. of the requirements of Sec. 221, P.L. 96-611 was contained in Water Resources Development Act of 1974 signed by the President on March 7, 1974.

Assurances of local cooperation were accepted on March 8, 1967. The project was turned over to local interests on December 15, 1968, for operation and maintenance. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: A contract for additional riprap on an upstream portion of the Root River was completed at a cost of $131,732. Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $17,584. Studies indicate further erosion problems which will require correction. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of general improvements was essentially completed in November 1968. Construction of track raise and bridge relocation by the railroad was physically completed in June 1969. Placing riprap at the railroad bridge was completed in November 1969. A contract for additional riprap on the Root River awarded in June 1974 has been completed. 48. STATE ROAD AND EBNER COULEES, WIS. Location. In La Crosse County in west-central Wisconsin, on the east side of the city of La Crosse. (For general location, see Geological Survey map of Wisconsin.) Existing project. The plan of improvement for State Road Coulee provides for channel deepening and enlarging downstream from Hagen Bridge to the mouth, and includes an 11,600-foot section of concrete-lined, trapezoidal-shaped channel, a 600- foot-long concrete flume, a drop structure, a stilling basin, five new street bridges, and alteration of a railroad bridge. The plan of improvement for Ebner Coulee provides for diversion works about 8,600 feet long, controlling flood flows through a concrete flume, and twin precastconcrete conduits into an enlarged Miller Coulee channel and thence into a marshy area in the La Crosse River floodplain. Estimated cost (1975) to the United States for new work is $15,700,000. Project was authorized by 1968 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 360, 90th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. See page 826 of Annual -Report for 1969. A local assurance agreement will be requested after completion of the design memorandum. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Planning for the General Design Memorandum, Phase I was continued at a cost of $123,585. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is in progress. 49. TWIN VALLEY LAKE, WILD RICE RIVER, MINN. Location. In Norman County in west-central Minnesota, northeast of the city of Moorhead, on the Wild Rice River about 1 mile upstream from Twin Valley, Minn. The Wild Rice River is a tributary of the Red River of the North. (For general location, see Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. Project provides for a 52,200 acre-foot impoundment created by an earth-fill dam 84 feet high, having a crest length of 7,700 feet including low-flow outlet works consisting of an 11-foot-diameter gated circular conduit through the south abutment of the embankment. An emergency spillway would have a 680-foot fixed crest concrete section with a grass-lined outlet channel of about 2,300 feet in length. Storage capacity would provide 7,500 acre-feet for conservation and sedimentation and 44,700 acre-feet for flood control. The proposed works include development of three recreation areas along the margin of the lake for public use. The Federal Government would acquire about 3,500 acres of land necessary for carrying out the purposes of the project. Estimated Federal cost (1975) for new work is $16,200,000. Project was authorized by 1970 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 366, 90th Congress, 2d sess., contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. See Annual Report for 1971 for requirements. Local interests have not been requested to furnish assurances. The Norman County Board of Commissioners, by resolution 27-19 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1975 dated November 7, 1974, has declared its intention to provide local cooperation for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement. Both the Norman County Board of Commissioners and the Wild Rice River Watershed District have indicated the capability to provide assurances of local cooperation relating to flood control improvements. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $132,805. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is in progress. 50. WILD RICE RIVER-SOUTH BRANCH AND FELTON DITCH, MINN. Location. In Clay and Norman Counties in westcentral Minnesota northeast of the city of Moorhead, Minn. The South Branch of the Wild Rice River and Felton Ditch drain areas of 253 and 122 square miles and enter the Wild Rice River at points 29.5 and 20.5 miles, respectively, above its confluence with the Red River of the North. (For general locations, see Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. Provides for increasing the capacities of the South Branch and Felton Ditch channels by widening the existing channels through the floodplain. Debris removal would be accomplished in the lower reaches of both streams. In addition, short reaches of low dikes would be constructed on both banks of Felton Ditch near the upper limit of improvement. The plan also includes bridge and culvert structure alterations, new bridges, multiplate pipe arches, side ditch inlet and lateral ditch entry modifications, and a drop inlet structure. The project would provide flood protection in both watersheds for a 6-percent chance flood and outlets necessary for removal of crop-damaging surface waters from lateral and on-farm drainage systems. Estimated Federal cost (1975) for new work is $3,500,000. Project was authorized by 1968 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 98, 90th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. See page 826 of Annual Report for 1969 for requirements. Assurances of local cooperation have not been requested. Operation and results during fiscal year. New work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $138,876. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is in progress. 51. WINONA, MINN. Location. At Winona in Winona County in southeastern Minnesota on the right bank of the Mississippi River about 725 miles above mouth of Ohio River. (For general location see Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. See page 833 of Annual Report for 1968 for completed upstream improvements authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1958 providing for a continuous flood barrier about 6.1 miles long with related pumping and interior drainage facilities. Federal costs amounted to $2,147,131 of which $111,500 was expended for the portion then deferred for restudy and $17,316 was contributed by local interests. Improvement authorized in 1971 under Section 201 of the Flood Control Act of 1965 (H. Doc. 152, 92d Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published map) provides for levee and floodwall protection with necessary interior drainage works for the riverfront and the Lake Winona closure reaches, as well as a sound floodplain management program to prevent unwise development of the area bordered by U.S. Highway 61 and Burns Valley and Pleasant Valley Creeks. The plan would also provide the downstream flood barrier needed to prevent Mississippi River backup flows from entering Lake Winona and inundating the area now only partially protected by the completed segment of the project authorized by the 1958 Flood Control Act. The selected plan would also provide control of Burns Valley Creek by means of channel improvement, raising and extending the existing levee system, a drop structure, an erosion control structure, and a sewer line modification. Earth levees, averaging 10 feet in height and totaling approximately 3.8 miles in length, comprise about 85 percent of the proposed flood barrier. Concrete floodwalls, also averaging about 10 feet in height, total about 3,400 feet in length. Estimated Federal cost (1975) for new work is $16,100,000 and $306,000 is to be contributed by local interests. Resolutions authorizing the project were adopted by the Public Works Committees of the House on July 29, 1971, and the Senate on November 18, 1971. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed work. See page 833 of Annual Report for 1968 for requirements. For improvements authorized in 1971 see Annual Report for 1972 for requirements. A resolution was passed and approved on February 2, 1970 by the Winona City Council indicating support for the plan of improvement and the willingness and ability of the city to meet the requirements of local cooperation when requested. Local interests have not been requested to furnish assurances. Operations and results during fiscal year. New 27-20 ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $250,919. Condition at end of fiscal year. The upstream improvement except for a portion of the project raising and extending the existing levee downstream from the Lake Winona outlet was completed in August 1967. At the request of local interests, the uncompleted portion of the project authorized in 1958 was not constructed in order that the scope of the project could be reconsidered to allow for the protection of additional lands needed by the city for industrial expansion. This work was deferred for restudy and now has been deauthorized by approval and authorization in 1971 of additional protection for Winona. Preconstruction planning for the improvement authorized in 1971 is in progress. Total costs for the entire project were $2,489,550 of which $2,472,234 was from Federal funds and $17,316 contributed funds, all for new work. 52. ZUMBRO RIVER, MINN. Location. Lower end of Zumbro River, in Wabasha County in southeastern Minnesota, between Kellogg, Minn., and its mouth at the Mississippi River. (For general location, see Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. Provides for construction of about 15,900 feet of continuous channel improvement including two channel cutoffs, the construction of a system of continuous set-back levees, totaling about 23,500 feet, paralleling both banks of the river along the channel enlargement reach, and slope protection of riverbank areas susceptible to bank erosion, all to alleviate damages from flooding. Project was authorized by 1965 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 246, 88th Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map.) Local cooperation. See page 827 of Annual Report for 1969 for requirements. Formal request for assurances was made by letter dated March 15, 1971 to the Board of County Commissioners, County of Wabasha. The resolution of assurances was accepted by the District Engineer on January 12, 1972. Local interests involved no longer wish the project to provide for a roadway over the top of the levees. This obviates the need for a cash contribution of 1.5 percent of the actual cost of construction for widening the levees to provide for a roadway and noted in the project document local cooperation requirements. The project plan now includes a relocation of the roadway along the land side of the north levee at non-Federal cost. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: A contract for construction of channel improvements was completed at a cost of $19,027. Engineering and design and supervision and administration cost $3,549. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the improvement by contract awarded in June 1972 is complete. 53. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Projects were inspected to determine that project channels are kept clean and unobstructed, dikes and revetments are in good condition, and structures are in good repair and operable. Deficiencies, if any, were minor unless noted. (See table 27-I on inspection of completed flood control projects.) Cost for the year was $32,000. Total cost to June 30, 1975 was $207,224. 54.

On Des Moines River, Iowa, chiefly in Marion County, but extending into Jasper, Warren, and Polk Counties. Dam (Howell) site is 142.9 miles above mouth of Des Moines River, which empties into Mississippi River at mile 361.4 above mouth of Ohio River. City of Des Moines lies northwesterly from site, about 60 miles upstream. Existing project. Provides for a dam consisting of a rolled earth-fill embankment and gravitytype concrete spillway with crest gates, located near center of valley, each end of which is tied into embankment by a gravity-type nonoverflow concrete section. The dam, at crest elevation of 797 feet above mean sea level, is about 5,676 feet long and maximum height of 110 feet. Gated spillway is of concrete founded on bedrock with crest at elevation 736. Full flood control level (top of crest gates) is at elevation 780. Spillway crest gates are 41 feet high and 45 feet wide. Outlet works consisting of fourteen 5-by-9 foot gated conduits extend through spillway section and discharge into spillway stilling basin. Nonoverflow concrete sections of dam at each end of spillway are gravity type, keyed into foundation rock. Drainage area above dam site is 12,323 square miles. With pool at full flood control elevation, lake area is about 65,500 acres; lake has a volume of 1,830,000 acrefeet of water at that height (1,740,000 for flood control and 90,000 for a permanent pool). Impoundment of floodwaters by lake results in materially reduced flood heights on Des Moines River below the dam, and also provides substantial supplementary benefits by reducing Mississippi River floods. See table 28-C for authorizing legislation. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction of recreational facilities and incidental work continued. Maintenance: Routine maintenance activities continued. Condition at end of fiscal year.

Dam is about 213.7 miles above mouth of Des Moines River, and about 5 miles upstream from north limits of city of Des Moines. Existing project. Dam is an earth embankment 6,750 feet long at crest with a height of 120 feet. Outlet works are a single circular concrete conduit, 22 feet in diameter, located at toe of west bluff. Control structure is at upstream end of conduit and houses three gates. A stilling basin is provided to dissipate energy of discharge from outlet conduit. Spillway is in west bluff, weir 430 feet long. Water flowing over spillway weir will discharge into a paved chute and thence into an excavated earth channel to the Des Moines River. Top of spillway is about 31 feet below top of earth embankment section, and flow over weir will be uncontrolled when water in reservoir reaches its crest. Watershed area above damsite is 5,823 square miles. With pool at spillway crest elevation, lake area will be 16,700 acres and contain about 676,000 acre-feet of water at that height (602,000 for flood control and 74,000 for a conservation pool to maintain minimum flows at downstream points). Lake will supplement capacity of downstream Lake Red Rock at river mile 142.9. The two lakes will provide a large degree of flood protection to lower Des Moines River Valley. Reaches along Mississippi River downstream from mouth of Des Moines River will also be benefited.
