AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL Location. The program is conducted in all navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels and associated waters under the New England Division jurisdiction. Existing project. The purpose of the program is to eradicate or control aquatic plants that are causing or have the potential to cause major economic problems in the above waterways. The plant control is done in the interest of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish and wildlife conservation, public health and research. The program is administered by the Chief of Engineers, under the direction of the Secretary of the Army, and in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies. Local cooperation. Local interests must contribute 30 percent of the cost of controlling the aquatic plants, and in addition must hold the United States free from damages that may occur from control operations. Operations and results during period. The office received many requests from communities to help with their aquatic plant problems. Field surveys and meetings with local people were held to determine the extent and cause of the problems. In all cases, the problems resulted from excess nutrients washing into the waters from adjacent lands. This problem does not meet the criteria for Corps participation. Work on the Upper Mystic Lake, which was scheduled for fiscal year 1976, has been postponed. Further coordination with the state is necessary before any work can commence. Condition as of September 30. The Aquatic Plant Control Program is presently limited to the Upper Mystic Lake with particular attention to water quality for recreation activities. Engineering studies for the control of aquatic plants in the Lower Mystic Lakes were concluded in fiscal year 1975. 3. BOSTON HARBOR, MASS. Location.

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 the period 1 July 1975 through 30 September 1976, two fairly significant floods (September 1975 and April 1976) and three minor events (October 1975 and January and August 1976) were experienced in New England. During the September flood, benefits derived from the system of reservoirs and local protection projects amounted to $22,893,000 in the Naugatuck River basin and $45,000 in the Farmington River (lower Connecticut) watershed. During the April flood, benefits amounted to $33,141,000, all in the Connecticut River basin. Blackstone River Basin. During the January event, storage amounted to about 20 percent of capacity at West Hill. No other significant storages occurred during the period. Connecticut River Basin. In the September 1975 flood, Littleville and Knightville utilized the most storage, at 24 and 22 percent, respectively. Storages at other projects averaged about 15 percent. During the October event, storages were small, with Ball Mountain storing 13 percent. During the January 1976 event, Barre Falls and Knightville stored about 14 percent. At eight other projects, storages ranged from 8 1-41 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 to 13 percent. In April 1976, floodwaters were stored at 13 reservoirs, with the greatest amount occurring at North Springfield - 32 percent. Other significant impoundments included Ball Mountain and Surry Mountain - 30 percent, North Hartland - 28 percent, Union Village - 27 percent, Townshend - 25 percent, and Knightville - 22 percent. Storage at all other projects amounted to less than 20 percent. During August, the remnants of hurricane "Belle" dropped significant amounts of rainfall on southern Vermont, and Ball Mountain and Townshend utilized 49 and 23 percent of storage, respectively. Ball Mountain was regulated for white water canoeing during October 1975 and May 1976. Knightville was also regulated for white water canoeing during March and April of 1976. Water supply and fish releases were discharged at Colebrook River Lake. Housatonic River Basin. During the September 1975 flood, Naugatuck River projects stored the most significant amounts: Black Rock - 33 percent, East Branch - 30 percent, Hancock Brook - 29 percent, Northfield Brook - 28 percent, Thomaston - 27 percent, Hop Brook - 23 percent, and Hall Meadow -11 percent. In the January 1976 flood, Hop Brook filled to 31 percent of capacity, Thomaston - 23 percent and Black Rock - 21 percent. The April event was insignificant in this section of New England, as was the August event. Merrimack River Basin. The September 1975 flood only affected the western portion of the basin, with MacDowell being filled to 20 percent of capacity. The January event was also significant, with MacDowell filling to 14 percent. The April 1976 flood was the largest for the period, with 19 percent storage at Franklin Falls and 11 percent at Blackwater. Other projects stored small amounts. Thames River Basin. The largest event for the basin was that of January 1976. West Thompson was filled to 31 percent of capacity, Buffumville - 17 percent, East Brimfield - 16 percent, and Hodges Village - 13 percent. All other events were insignificant. Mansfield Hollow was regulated for canoeists in June 1976. West Thompson Lake level was raised several feet for the AKC retriever trails during September 1975 and 1976. 69. 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 for the period 1 July 1975 through 30 September 1976 follows: Stamford Barrier. The barrier gate was closed on seven occasions due to coastal storms. It was also closed on one occasion in advance of hurricane "Belle", which was downgraded to a tropical depression by the time of its arrival at the New England coast. Total benefits for the period amounted to $125,000. New Bedford-Fairhaven Barrier. The barrier gates were closed on several occasions due to coastal storms and twice in advance of "Belle." Total benefits for the period amounted to $220,000. Fox Point and Pawcatuck Barriers. The Fox Point and Pawcatuck hurricane barriers were operated as a precaution during the year; however, no tidal flooding occurred and no damage benefits resulted. 70.

SUPERVISOR OF NEW YORK HARBOR (Prevention of Obstruction 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 or New York Harbor is charged with the mission of preventing the deposit of obstructive and 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 3 March 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403, 407, 409), commonly known as the Refuse Act, applies to all navigable waters of 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 this 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 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 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 2-17 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 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 District 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 an-. chorage; and prevention of interference with safe navigation in New York Harbor entrance channels and other waters under the jurisdiction of the New York District. Inspections of shorefront facilities and property are conducted by Inspectors utilizing government vehicles equipped with twoway radios. These inspectors operate out of field offices located at Belle Meade and Jersey City, New Jersey, Fort Tilden, Fort Totten, Troy and Riverhead, 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 trubutaries, or on the shoreline where the material is subject to being washed into the waterways and adversely affect navigation; obstruction, by vessels to navigation. 22.

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 onethird 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 $25,626,767 (October 1976), of which $2,646,767 is for work authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act, and $22,980,000 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 for beach erosion control authorized by Congress and agreed to furnish its share of cost, and comply with all other requirements of local cooperation. By letter dated October 7, 1958, cooperating agency requested United States to undertake and supervise construction of first increment of work. First modification to agreement enabled construction by Federal Government of a sand closure across gorge channel which was completed in 1960 at a cost of $364,000 from funds furnished by cooperating agency (contributed funds-other). Second modification enabled delineation of sand closure as a part of authorized project in accordance with Public Works Appropriation Act, 1962, 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 2-19 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 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 $17,282,335 (October 1976) for new work, of which $2,272,335 (cash contribution) is for work authorized by the 1958 act; and $15,010,000 the 1962 act, of which $14,990,000 is cash contribution and $20,000 is other non-Federal costs for off-project facilities; exclusive of shares of annual periodic dredging and maintenance costs. Assurances executed with State 4/27/73 approved by Sec of Army 5/24/73. Operations and results during period. Contract #2 was awarded on June 12, 1974 for $4,892,650. $25,072 was expended for engineering and design preliminary dredging.

Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1960 provides that before starting construction, local interests give assurance 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 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 2-22 NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 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 reflected 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 mile 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 artifical 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 superintendent 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 the Preservation Society of East End wherein concern was indicated regarding the effects of the proposed drainage structure on ecology, salinity, pond level and aesthetic values; meeting with the 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 works 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 2-23 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 stage construction establish( d the top of dune to an elevation of 16 feet ms.l. with a 65 foot width at that elevation and th3 tco of berm to 14 feet m.s.l. with a 100 foot width at that elevation These assurances also required that the State ob tain 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-of-way, 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 period. Continued study of coastal protection needs for present and future conditions. Planning was continued in period 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. Draft Environmental Impact Statement on entire project was prepared and furnished to the Council on Environmental Quality on March 12, 1976. Condition as of September 30. 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 lA and was completed November 14, 1970. 3,083 tons of stone and 1,111,000 cubic yards of sand was placed.

Construction for Nine Mile Creek is completed. Costs for the period were $372. Construction was completed on Bailey Dam, Montpelier, Vt. at a cost of $169,875. Emergency Flood Control Activities-repair, flood fighting and rescue work (Public Law 99, 84th Cong., and antecedent legislation). Under "Advance Preparation" the following work was accomplished. Initial review made of Supplements A & B to consider combining into one manual; Supplement C and pamphlet on guidelines for PL 288 work were revised and distributed. Emergency Operations Planner attended seminar in Chicago in January 76 and Baltimore seminar in July and various other meetings during the year. Emergency Operations Planner and two engineers attended Federal Disaster- Assistance Administration (FDAA) seminar; Emergency Operations Center course in St. Paul, Minn. was attended by one military and three engineers. One Emergency Operations engineer gave presentation on Corps' emergency work and Federal Disaster-Assistance Administration activities at New York State Training Session. The New York District Flood Emergency Exercise was held 20-21 May 76 in the Hoosic River Basin at Adams and North Adams, Mass.; in addition, Corps attendees at Flood Exercise also attended Office of the Chief of Engineers- sponsored ice jam seminar on 19 May at the same place. Emergency Operations personnel participated in Exercise "POLE VAULT 76". Under "Emergency Operations": The District Emergency Operations Center operated during storms and other emergencies (flash flood watches and alerts, etc.). During the Fiscal Year, approximately 70,000 sandbags were distributed to various State and local communities. During this period many inspections were made of non- Federal Flood Control works and technical advice rendered to local communities. During the winter, the most serious and numerous series of ice jams in recent memory caused flooding or formed immediate flood threats to many communities in New York and Vermont within the New York District area. It started on 25 January when the District Engineer directed that flood fighting measures be taken immediately to stop the ice jam flooding threatening damages to a residential area in Plattsburgh, N.Y. This was done, the emergency work was successful and the flooding was stopped the next day preventing an estimated damage of $70,000. Immediately following this operation a number of serious ice jams began to develop all over the northern sections of Vermont and New York. Monitoring, investigating and taking emergency actions when required taxed New York District's emergency organization to its capacity requiring a work schedule of 12 hours per day, 7 days per week up to 13 March when the final ice jam flood threat in Morrisonville-Schuyler Falls, N.Y. area was removed. During the period 25 January through 13 March, a total of 14 ice jams in New York and 10 in Vermont were investigated. Of these, four in New York and three in Vermont were serious enough to require direct New York District flood fighting operations to stop the flooding or remove the immediate flood threat. The contract cost of this emergency work amounted to $95,000 and the damages prevented were estimated at $1,150,000. Administrative control of all emergency activities was effected from New York District's Emergency Operations Center. Field operations in New York were directed by one military and one engineer, and in Vermont by one military and one engineer; and the District Engineer personally inspected the site of the flood fighting operations in Morrisonville-Schuyler Falls. These successful ice jam removal operations elicited letters of appreciation from the citizens of Morrisonville- Schuyler Falls, N.Y., the Mayor of the City of Plattsburgh, N.Y. and the Governors of New York and Vermont. Under "Rehabilitation": Various inspections were made of non-Federal projects but no work was authorized under PL 99 funds. Disaster Assistance Administration: Work accomplished under PL 93-288.

Cost of new work for completed project was $5,061,167, of which $4,566,446 (regular funds) and $11,588 (emergency relief funds) was for construction and $483,133 (regular funds) for lands and damages. Local cooperation. Section 2. Flood Control Act of June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during period. Normal operation and maintenance of project continued. A boundary monumentation purchase order in the amount of $2,400 was issued to monumentate the area around the dam. As a result of Storm Eloise, September 1975, unusual volumes of debris, gravel and sand deposits in the vicinity of Richland Avenue and the Tyler Run confluence are acting to impede stream flow. In addition, serious erosion along the levee in the vicinity of the York sewage treatment plant has occurred. Engineering and design in connection with the deposits and the levee has been initiated. Condition as of Sept. 30. Project was operationally complete in November 1947 and remaining construction features were completed in September 1952 and November 1955. 37. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Projects in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, District of Columbia, and Virginia, were inspected during the period by hired labor. 38. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Operations and results during period. The operation of George B. Stevenson Dam, Pa., was coordinated with the operation of Alvin R. Bush, Curwensville, and Foster Joseph Sayers Dams in the West Branch Susquehanna River Basin in order to secure optimum flood control benefits from the system operation. Costs during the period were $4,485. Supplemental instructions for the operation of Savage River Dam, Md., were provided, during periods of high water, to insure maximum protection for downstream localities. Costs during the period were $7,073. 39. OTHER AUTHORIZED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS (See Table 4-M at end of chapter.) 40.

Existing project. The project consists of a water treatment plant with a nominal capacity of one million gallons per day that includes advanced treatment processes and an evaluation laboratory. Local cooperation. Approval will be necessary from the D.C. government for constructing the plant on approximately 1.5 acres of land available at the Blue Plains water treatment facility in Washington. Studies will be accomplished during preconstruction planning to determine an appropriate method of financing by the District of Columbia and other benefiting governmental entities with such funding arrangement subject to approval by the Secretary of the Army prior to initiation of construction. Operations and results during period. Preconstruction planning continued. Plans and specifications are 85 percent complete. Condition as of Sept. 30. Preconstruction planning was initiated in November 1974. 42. VERONA LAKE, VIRGINIA Location. The project is located in Augusta County, Virginia, about nine miles northeast of Staunton, Virginia, on the Middle River Branch of the South Fork Shenandoah River. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for a concrete-gravity dam with gated outlet conduits and a gate-controlled spillway as integral parts of the concrete-gravity structure. The project will provide 104,000 acre-feet of storage for water supply and recreation. Preliminary proposals for development include two administrative areas, one wayside area, three day-use areas, one marina, four camp areas, and five additional access areas. Estimated cost (1976) of new work is $62,100,000 of which $37,151,000 is required non-federal reimbursement. Local cooperation. Prior to construction, responsible local interests must agree to repay all costs allocated to water supply amounting to 49.7 percent of the construction cost of the project, and pay annually the costs of operation, maintenance, and replacements allocated to water supply amounting to 31.4 percent of these annual costs. Local interests must also agree to pay, contribute in kind, or repay (which may be through user fees) with interest, not less than one-half the separable first cost of the project allocated to general recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement and bear separable costs of operation, maintenance, and replacement of recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement, Operations and results during period. Preconstruction planning continued. Condition as of Sept. 30. Preconstruction planning was initiated in November 1974. The plan formulation conference is currently scheduled for November 1976.

(See Table 4-0 at end of chapter.) 45. MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS, AND CAPITAL OUTLAY OF THE WASHINGTON AQUEDUCT Location. The diversion dam and raw water supply intakes at Great Falls, the two collecting conduits, part of Dalecarlia receiving reservoir, the booster pumping station, and the Little Falls raw water pumping station are located in Maryland. All other structures of the water supply system including parts of the raw water collecting system, two purification plants, pumping stations, storage reservoirs, and 4-24 BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT transmission mains are in the District of Columbia. Federal-owned water mains are maintained in Virginia and Maryland. Existing project. Control of the water supply system is vested in Chief of Engineers (See acts of March 3, 1859, and March 2, 1867, November 22 1973 and Sec. 1800 of Revised Statutes). The project includes administration, operation, maintenance, and protection of water supply system; including operation and maintenance of collection, purification, pumping, engineering, and construction of major water system additions and improvements. Authority to supply water to adjacent Maryland areas and to Arlington County, the City of Falls Church, and other jurisdictions in Virginia is contained in the following Public Laws: Public Law 378; 64th Congress, of March 3, 1917; Public Law 119, 69th Congress, approved April 14, 1926; and Public Law 118, 80th Congress, June 26, 1947. Local cooperation. Prior to July 1, 1880, expenses of Washington Aqueduct for construction, operation, and maintenance were paid entirely out of revenues of the United States. From July 1, 1880 to June 30, 1882, half of the expenses of operation and maintenance were paid by the United States and the other half came from the general revenues of the District of Columbia. From July 1, 1882 to June 30, 1898, one-half of construction costs were charged to a capital account on the books of the Treasury to be repaid by the District of Columbia from water rents with 3 percent interest. From July 1, 1898 to June 30, 1927, 60 percent of the expenses of construction was paid from the general revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent was paid by the United States. From July 1, 1916 to date, all expenses of operation and maintenance have been paid from the Water Fund of the District of Columbia which was established by Congress to receive the water revenues from water consumed by the Federal Government, the District of Columbia, Arlington County, Va., and Falls Church, Va., as well as loans from the U.S. Treasury for Capital Improvements. From July 1, 1927 to date, all expenses for construction have been paid from loans and revenues deposited in the Water Fund. Public Law 533, 81st Congress, 2nd Session, authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to lend to the Commissioners of the District of Columbia such sums as may hereafter be appropriated (with a limit of $23,000,000) to finance expansion and improvement of the water system when sufficient funds therefore are not available from the District of Columbia Water Fund established by law (D.C;gCpde 1940 edition, title 1943, ch. 15). The .iorrowing limit was extended by Public Law 64, 83rd Congress, 2nd Session, to $35,000,Q00 and again by Public Law 650, 91st Congress, 2nd Session, to $51,000,000. From April 1953 to June 30, 1976, $49,840,000 was borrowed from the United States Treasur4k,6in 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 Governilit. Public Law 364, 83rd Congress, 2nd Session, known as the "District of Columbia Public Wrks Act of 1954," provided for payment by theUnited 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 Distriet, the rates applicable are those charged in the respective local jurisdictions within which the Federal facilities are situated. Operation and results during period, An uninterrupted and adequate supply of purified water was furnished to the District of Columba; 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 period was 92,402 million gallons; the maximum daily consumption was 254.6 million gallons and average daily consumption was 202.2 million gallons. Average per capita consumption was 189.3 gallons per day. The average amount furnished Arlington County and Falls Church, Virginia was 43.27 million gallons per day. The D.C. Water Fund was reimbursed in the amount of $1,958,324 for water furnished to the Virginia communities. Maryland communities were supplied an average of 22,910 gallons per.day during this period by the District of Columbia through connections to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission system.O1- On 23 June 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 froi the Potomac River was 25 Formazin Turbidity Units and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria was 14,121. After treatment, the average turbidity of the filtered water was 0.17 and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was 0.01. The average calcium carbonate alkalinity of the 4-25 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 filtered water as 68 P.P.M. and the average pH value was 8.0. Average hardness was 110 milligrams per litre. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 173,768 tubes of Lactose broth inoculated with water taken from 220 sampling points in the collection, purification, and distribution systems. Approximately 107,562 physical and chemical tests were made on 16,107 water samples from the supply and distribution system. Fluoride content of 3,622 water samples was determined. During the period, direct operating costs of water treated and delivered to the system per million gallons was $101.45. Similar costs during fiscal year 1975 were $97.36 per million gallons. Visitors. During the year, 539 persons toured the water supply facilities, including 22 from foreign countries. Control. All funds were expended in conformity with the following legislative provision: "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 as of Sept. 30: The intakes, conduits, reservoirs, filter plants, pumping stations, mechanical equipment, and structures were generally in good condition. During periods of maximum demand, the Little Falls raw water pumping station was operated to augment the raw water supply provided by the gravity-flow conduits. Construction work authorized with "no year" funds not previously reported as completed was as follows: New shops and storehouses, Dalecarlia, 99 percent; flood and water quality protection, Dalecarlia, 100 percent; emergency pumping from Potomac River estuary, 12 percent; water treatment plant wastewater disposal, 1 percent. 4-26 BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT COST AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT TABLE 4-A See Total Cost Section to in Text Project Funding FY 74 FY 75 FY 76 FY 76T Sept. 30, 1976 1.

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. 5-2 NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT 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 program. Operations and results during period. 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 were conducted. The first project, entitled "Aquatic plant control using herbicides in a large potable water supply reservior" was 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," was 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. Condition as of September 30. The two projects referenced above have been completed. On continuing basis, the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the reservoir after herbicide application are being monitored. The research efforts evaluated the ecological and physiological changes associated with the herbicide application. The information derived from these studies provides much needed data regarding the applicability of treatment methods to other similarly affected waters, as well as providing substantial information regarding the employment of diquat and potassium endothall in potable waters. 3.

Federal participation in restoration and protection of shore of Virginia Beach between Rudee Inlet and 49th Street by artificial 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 5-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 proportionate share of cost as a landowner, plus one third total first cost of restoring and ii6dtectig all publicly-owned sections of the shore. The 1962 modification provided that the Unltedt States shall further participate in periodic beach=hourishment 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 eficiency 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 (1976) is $4,620,000. Estimated cost to local interests is $4,630,000. Construction of 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 Septeimber 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 HTarbor Act of October 23, 1962, continued the terms of local cooperation specified in the original projct. The conditions of local cooperation have been combined within the initial beach restoration and in the nourishment program to date. Conditions pertaining to construction of groins have no 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 period. New work: Local interest were reimbursed for the Federal share of periodic nourishment of the beach, and Federal costs pertinent thereto. Condition as of September 30. 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. Flood Control. 17.

Kerr Dam and Reservoir and Philpott Lake projects, Roanoke River Basin, Virginia and North Carolina, began Fiscal Year 1976 with both reservoirs slightly above rule curve. At the beginning of the fiscal year, Kerr Reservoir was at elevation 299.87 feet, mean sea level, or about 0.4 foot above rule curve. The reservoir rose to the highest elevation during the year of 309.41 on July 19, 1975. The reservoir then fell to near elevation 298.0 by August 15, 1975 and fluctuated below rule curve until September 25, 1975 at which time it rapidly rose to elevation 304.35 by September 28, 1975. The reservoir was drawn down to rule curve at elevation 298.43 by October 17 and fluctuated from 2.5 feet to 1 foot above the rule curve until it was drawn down to about 1.5 feet below rule curve at elevation 294.14 on December 6 which was the minimum elevation for the fiscal year. The reservoir then began a slow rise to reach the rule curve elevation 295.5 on December 24 and then a rapid rise to near elevation 302.0 on January 4. The reservoir fell to near elevation 295.2 on January 23 and then rapidly rose to near elevation 299.5 on February 2. The reservoir was then drawn down to near elevation 296.5 or 1 foot above rule curve by February 14 and then fluctuated above the rule curve until March 10 and proceeded to rise as the rule curve rose, but slightly below until a rapid rise took it above rule curve at elevation 302.5 on April 15. The reservoir was drawn down to near elevation 298.5 on May 26 and then rose to elevation 301.66 on June 26. The reservoir was at elevation 301.07 on June 30, 1976 or about 1.5 feet above rule curve. From this time until September 30, 1976 the reservoir fell continuously, with slight fluctuation, due to below average rainfall. The reservoir was at elevation 295.47 on September 30, 1976 or about 4.0 feet below rule curve. Philpott Lake level remained relatively near the rule curve for most of the fiscal year. The lake elevation of 974.0 feet, mean sea level, at the beginning of the fiscal year was about 0.6 foot above rule curve and fluctuated near, but mostly above the rule curve until September 17, 1975. The lake rose to elevation 974.4 on September 24, 1975 or near 3.0 feet above rule curve. The lake continued to fluctuate mostly above the rule curve throughout the fiscal year with peaks above the rule curve being from 1 to 2.5 feet. The peak elevation for the fiscal year occurred on May 31 at elevation 975.53. The lake was at elevation 974.40 on June 30, 1976 or about 0.9 foot above rule curve. From this time until September 30, 1976 the reservoir fell continuously due to below normal rainfall. The lake fell to elevation 967.52 on September 29, 1976, which was the minimum elevation for the year. The reservoir was at elevation 967.86 on September 30 or about 6.3 feet below rule curve. In the Roanoke River below Kerr Dam, a minimum stage of 13 feet was provided at Weldon, N. C., during most of the 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. Gross generation amounts for the year at Kerr and Philpott projects, respectively, were 423,972,300 kilowatt hours and 25,665,870 kilowatt hours of electrical energy. Total cost of functional opeation for the period was $43,150 for John H. Kerr project and $8,694 for Philpott. General Investigations 42. SURVEYS Cost for the period was $472,417, of which $113,471 was for navigation studies; $347,546 was for flood control studies; $2,400 for soil conservation service, and $9,000 for deauthorization review. 6-lb WILMINGTON, N. C., DISTRICT 43.

AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL, N.C. and S.C. Location. 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 contribute 30 percent of the cost of field operations. Requirements are being met in South Carolina. Operations and results during period. New work: Spray operations began on 30 June 1975 on the Little Pee Dee River but due to equipment breakdowns, actual spraying did not begin until 14 July. Spray operations were terminated on 18 July because no herbicide had been certified for this use. The abundance of alligatorweed has been declining during recent years and the scope of spray operations has been reduced accordingly. Although only one stream, the Little Pee Dee River was sprayed in FY 76, field inspections in May and September of 1976 failed to reveal any problem-causing growths of alligatorweed in any project stream. An exemption for the use of 2,4-D has been requested of the EPA to provide for spray operations during the 1977 spray season should alligatorweed growth be sufficient to, warrant spraying. Brazilean elodea has become established in many areas near the South Carolina coast and may now be the worst aquatic plant problem in the State. Lake Marion, which is about 172 square miles in area, has an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 acres infested with this plant. The District is participating with other Federal and State agencies in an effort to develop a management plan for the control of aquatic plants in the State's Santee-Cooper Project, which includes Lake Marion. Costs incurred were $5,393 for engineering and $3,370 for operations. Condition as of September 30, 1976. There are no problem-causing growths of alligatorweed on any project stream. 2. ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BETWEEN NORFOLK, VA., AND ST. JOHNS RIVER, FLA. (CHARLESTON DISTRICT) Location. The project starts at 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. 11513, 11521, 11531, 11534 and 11535.) 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.(See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Requirements fully satisfied. Terminal facilities. There are rail-water terminals at Georgetown, Charleston, Johns Island and Port Royal, and numerous open-pile wharves mostly for shipping agricultural products, fish, oysters, pulpwood, wood products, and petroleum products. Marinas are located at convenient intervals along the waterway where limited supplies and repair facilities are available for both commercial vessels and pleasure craft. Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce and recreation requirements. Operations and results during period. Maintenance: Contract costs were $2,062,025. Disposal areas with spillways were constructed by contract December 1975- September 1976 at a cost of $145,075. Contra8t maintenance dredging was performed by the pipeline dredges Arlington and Clarendon, during December 1975-September 1976, removing 3,297,901 cubic yards of material for $1,897,720. Mosquito abatement control contract costs were $19,230. Clearing and snagging by the U.S. maintenance vessel Snell was performed at a cost of $61,986. Condition surveys, shoaling studies, re-establishment of rights-of-way and supervision and administration costs were $609,953. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Existing project was completed in 1940; three bridges were completed in 1936. Federal costs of existing 7-2 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT project to date have been $7,345,888 for new ivork and $20,624,819 for maintenance, for a total of $27,970,707. 3. CHARLESTON HARBOR, S.C. Location. The harbor is located on the coast of South Carolina about 15 miles south of the midpoint of the coastline, 50 miles southwest of Winyah Bay, S.C., and 80 miles northeast of the mouth of Savannah River. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 11521 and 11524.) Previous projects. For further details see page 1808 of Annual Report for 1915; page 579 of Annual Report for 1926; and page 562 of Annual Report for 1938. Existing project. The authorized project provides for a channel 35 feet deep with varying widths from the Atlantic Ocean to the mouth of Goose Creek, a total of 21.9 miles, together with a 35-foot depth by 500-foot width channel via Town Creek. Also, a 10-foot depth by 110-foot width channel on the Mount Pleasant side of the harbor into Shem Creek to U.S. Highway 17 Bridge, and a 30-foot anchorage basin in the lower harbor between Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie. A 40-foot channel estimated to cost $6,060,000 (1960) 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 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 eight 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 seven 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, 1970, Corps of Engineers. Operations and results during period. Maintenance: Contract costs were $3,107,821. The pipeline dredges Clinton, Cherokee, and Hampton Roads performed maintenance dredging and dike repairs under contracts during July 1975-September 1976, removing 3,287,261 cubic yards of material for a total cost of $2,883,321. Contract diking cost $224,500. The hopper dredge Essayons performed maintenance dredging in the entrance channel during May-July 1976, removing 1,618,770 cubic yards of material at a cost of $902,235. Engineering and design, surveys, and supervision and administration costs were $556,238. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Jetties protecting the entrance channel across the bar were completed in 1895. The existing project was completed in October 1962, except for the national defense portion. Federal costs under the existing project to date have been $3,328,349 for new work and $47,316,373 for maintenance, a total of $50,644,722. 4. COOPER RIVER, CHARLESTON HARBOR, S.C. Location. Cooper River is located in Charleston and Berkeley Counties, S.C., and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Charleston. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 11521 and 11524.) 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 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 project for Cooper River as authorized by the 1968 River and Harbor Act provides that the discharge through the existing Pinopolis Hydro Plant be reduced to a weekly 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 features made less 7-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, FY 1976 AND 1976T effective at Pinopolis through curtailment of flows. The average flow of 12,600 cfs at the new powerplant, plus the proposed 3,000 cfs average release planned for Pinopolis, would approximate the existing average Pinopolis flow. The three generators at the new plant would be rated at 28,000 kilowatts each, for a total of 84,000 kilowatts. In the interest of fish and wildlife resources of the area, the plan would also provide for construction of a herring lift at the new powerhouse site and a relocated fish hatchery. Estimated cost of the project (1975) is $90,000,000, all Federal. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. None needed. Operations and results during period. Funds were received for initiation of construction during FY 75; however, primary expenditures to date have been for continued engineering and design and for negotiation of a project agreement contract with the South Carolina Public Service Authority. Engineering and design costs were $1,386,416; supervision and administration costs were $126,455. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Preconstruction planning was completed at the end of FY 74. The General Design Memorandum was completed in January 1972 and work is proceeding on schedule on other phases of the project. Initiation of physical construction is planned for FY 77. 5. GEORGETOWN HARBOR, S.C. Location. The harbor is located on the coast of South Carolina 50 miles northeast of Charleston Harbor and 90 miles southwest of entrance to Cape Fear River, North Carolina. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 11532.) Previous projects. For further details see page 1806 of Annual Report for 1915; page 549 of Annual Report for 1938; and page 442 of Annual Report for 1944. Existing project. The authorizations provide for a channel 27 feet deep with varying widths of 600 feet to 400 feet from the Atlantic Ocean to and including a turning basin at the U.S. Highway 17 Bridge over Sampit River, with a side channel 2,400 feet long and not less than 200 feet wide leading to a turning basin at the upper end of the built-up portion of the City waterfront, a total of 17.9 miles. The project also provides for the continued maintenance to a depth of 18 feet and a width of 400 feet for the bypassed portion of Sampit River opposite the City of Georgetown. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Biannual dredging has been authorized, but local interests have not been able to provide the required disposal areas. Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities at the Port of Georgetown, suitable for oceangoing vessels, consist of one marginal concrete pier and one of creosoted-timber construction. For intracoastal waterway traffic there are a number of smaller wharves and landings along the Georgetown waterfront on the old channel. For further details, see Port Series No. 13, 1970, Corps of Engineers. Operations and results during period. Maintenance: Contract costs were $1,440,209. Disposal area diking was performed by contracts during September 1975- September 1976 at a cost of $114,403. The pipeline dredges Arlington and Dauntless performed maintenance dredging in the Sampit River and Winyah Bay by contract during July 1975-September 1976, removing 1,979,823 cubic yards of material for $1,325,806. Maintenance dredging in the entrance channel was performed by hopper dredges Davison, Hyde, and Gerig during September-December 1975 and June-August 1976, removing 414,748 cubic yards at a cost of $995,848. Costs for a model study to determine methods of reducing shoaling were $138,359. Engineering and design, surveys and supervision and administration costs were $287,553. Condition as of September 30, 1976. The existing project was completed in 1951. The jetties were completed in 1903-04. Federal costs for the existing project to date have been $4,615,903 for new work and $18,962,768 for maintenance, a total of $23,578,671. 6. 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 from Shallotte, N.C., to Georgetown, S.C. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 11535:) 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 (1975) is $10,900,000 Federal cost and $2,120,000 non- 7-4 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT Federal cost ($980,000 contributed funds and $1,140,000 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 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 eight marinas, numerous private docks, and several public boat ramps located in or near Little River. It is expected that existing facilities will expand and new ones will be added as demands for services exceed current capacity. Operations and results during period. Maintenance: Sidecasting dredge Fry performed emergency maintenance dredging during February - April 1976, removing 16,688 cubic yards of material at a cost of $87,234. Contract dredging was performed by the dredge Arlington during March 1976 resulting in the removal of 41,613 cubic yards of material for $46,113. Costs of $34,541 were incurred for work performed in FY 75. Engineering and design, surveys and supervision and administration costs were $14,814. New work: Expenditures amounted to $359,887 for engineering and design and $25,969 for supervision and administration. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Advance engineering and design studies are underway. Emergency dredging operations are being performed annually until the project is constructed. 7. MURRELS INLET, S.C. Location. The project is located on the coast of South Carolina, in Georgetown County, about 13 miles southwest of the City of Myrtle Beach. The inlet is the ocean entrance through a barrier beach to several tidal streams in the Murrells Inlet-Garden City estuarine area. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey C0art No. 11535.) Existing project. The project provides for an entrance channel 12 by 300 feet across the seaward bar; thence a 10 by 90-foot inner channel to a turning basin at the old Army crashboat dock. The entrance channel would be stabilized by ocean jetties extending seaward 3,300 feet and 2,300 feet on the north and south sides of the inlet, respectively. The recreational project includes a walkway on the south jetty with access road and parking area. During post-authorization studies for the General Design Memorandum, it was found that maximum benefits would be achieved with a 10-foot entrance channel and an 8-foot inner channel. The Charleston District and South Atlantic Division have recommended that a 2-foot depth difference between the authorized depth and the GDM depth be reclassified as "inactive." The entrance channel and the jetties will be shortened to the 10-foot ocean contour rather than the 12-foot contour if this change is approved. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Estimated cost of the project (1975) is $14,600,000 Federal cost and $1,770,000 non- Federal cost ($954,000 contributed funds and $816,000 for lands). Local cooperation. A letter of intent to provide local cooperation dated 4 November 1975 has been received from the Georgetown County Board of Commissioners. Terminal facilities. There are five marinas and numerous private docks located about the Murrells Inlet Harbor. There are several public boat ramps in the area. Facilities are expected to be expanded and new ones added as demands for services outstrip capacity. Operations and results during period. Sidecasting dredge Merrit performed emergency maintenance dredging during August 1975 and September 1976, removing 103,567 cubic yards of material for $152,839. Contract pipeline dredging was performed from May-July 1976 by the dredge Blue Ridge resulting in the removal of 86,373 cubic yards of material for $164,032. This cost was borne by the Corps ($14,032) and Georgetown County with funds made available by the Economic Development Administration ($150,000). Engineering and design, surveys and supervision and administration costs were $47,595. Expenditures for new work amounted to $235,600 for engineering and design and $25,591 for supervision and administration. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Advance engineering and design studies are nearing completion. Construction is scheduled to begin in FY 77. Emergency dredging operations will be performed annually until the project is constructed. 8. PORT ROYAL HARBOR, S.C. Location.

YADKIN RIVER, S.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 flood control dams in the Upper Yadkin River Basin, twoon 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 acts authorizing existing project.) 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. 21A. W. KERR SCOTT DAM AND RESERVOIR, 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 the 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 as 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. Requirements fully satisfied. For details, see page 413 of Annual Report for 1963. Operations and results during period. New work: Contracts were awarded for two showerwash houses with sewage treatment plants. Costs 7-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, FY 1976 AND 1976T of $12,531 were incurred. Maintenance: Operation and maintenance cost $595,750.During the period the project had a visitation of 1,388,675. All recreation facilities continue to be utilized beyond their maximum capabilities during fair weather. Acquisition of lands and construction of recreational facilities authorized under the Appalachia Program 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. During the period, nine floods occurred that required the use of 1 foot or more of the project's flood control storage. However, eight of these floods were minor requiring only 1 to 3.1 feet, or from two to five percent of the space allocated for flood control. The remaining flood was of sufficient magnitude that downstream flooding was significantly reduced as a result of project operation. This flood occurred in October 1975. The maximum pool elevation attained was 1,043.4 feet, a rise of 13.4 feet above the normal pool elevation of 1,030.0 feet. The October flood utilized 23.076 acre-feet or 21 percent of the project's flood control space. The damages prevented from the other floods were insignificant. A significant drawdown occurred beginning in July 1976. The minimum pool reached was 1,023.25 feet and occurred on 29 September 1976. This drawdown occurred in response to a release schedule requested by the water supply sponsors. Estimated flood damages prevented by the project for all floods during the period were $5,851,900. Condition as of September 30, 1976. The project was commenced in August 1960 and placed in operation for flood control and water storage purposes in February 1963. 21B. 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 97 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 February 1979. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Estimated cost of the project (1975) is $25,500,000 of which $5,525,000 is reimbursable for water supply under the Water Supply Act of 1958, and $2,240,000 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 period. New work: Preliminary planning for advanced engineering and design is continuing. Engineering and design costs were $33,095; supervision and administration costs were $5,187. Condition as of September 30, 1976. Advance planning studies have been delayed pending guidance from OCE as to the necessity of obtaining reauthorization before proceeding with the project as presently formulated. 22. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS To determine the extent of compliance with approved regulations for maintenance and operation, inspections were made of the following projects during the period: Cowpen Swamp, S.C., Crab Tree Swamp, S.C., Gapway Swamp, S.C., Simpson Creek, S.C., Simmons Bay Creek, N.C., Saluda River, S.C., Waccamaw River and Seven Creeks, N.C., Todd Swamp, S.C., Buck Creek, N.C. & S.C., Old Field Swamp, N.C., Edisto River, S.C., Sawmill Branch, S.C., Shot Pouch Creek, S.C., Turkey Creek, Sumter County, S.C.

(See National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Survey Map of Georgia, formerly U. S. Geological Survey map of Georgia.) For full description of these rivers, see page 636, Annual Report for 1932. * 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 Page 8-8 8-8 8-8 8-8 8-8 8-9 8-9 8-9 8-10 8-10 8-10 8-10 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1976 Previous projects. 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. 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 period. Maintenance: Hired labor snagging work was performed by crane barge No. 2 with towboat Tomkins and during period January 26, 1976 to May 2, 1976 removed 3,093 snags at a cost of $62,006. Other cost incurred, including condition and operation studies, hydrographic surveys, and water pollution and environmental studies, amounted to $4,483. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) Condition as of September 30, 1976. 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 bankprotection 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 September 30,1976, costs under the existing project were $60,847 for new work and $1,774,076 for maintenance, of which $69,356 were contributed funds, a total of $1,834,923. (See Table 8- A for Cost and Finanicial 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 period. 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 8-2 SAVANNAH, GA., DISTRICT of Georgia. Cost during the period was $697. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 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.)
