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 fiscal year. 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 most cases, the problems resulted from excess nutrients washing into the waters from adjacent lands. This problem does not meet the criteria for Corps participation. Condition at end of fiscal year. The Aquatic Plant Control program is limited to reconnaisance surveys of New England waters. Appropriate coordination will continue in the new fiscal year. 3.

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 fiscal year, three general flood events (8-9 January, 25-26 January and 4-7 August) were experienced in New England. During 25-26 January, flood benefits derived from the system of six reservoirs in the Thames River basin amounted to $6,600,000. During the 8-9 January and 4-7 August events reservoir discharges were throttled as a precautionary measure and storages and benefits were minimal. Blackstone River Basin. During the 26-27 January event, storage amounted to about 24 percent of capacity at West Hill. No other significant storages occurred during the period. Connecticut River Basin. During 6-7 January event, Littleville and Knightville utilized the most storage at about 20 percent each. Storage at other projects in basin for this storm ranged between 10 and 18 percent. The following projects were regulated for white water canoeing: Ball Mountain - October 1977 and May 1978, Knightville - March and April 1978, and Littleville - April 1978. Water supply and fish releases were made at Colebrook River Lake. Housatonic River Basin. Storages were not significant in the Naugatuck River basin during the fiscal year. Black Rock stored the most, at 18 percent during the 26-27 January flood. Merrimack River Basin. MacDowell Dam utilized 26 percent of its storage capacity after the storm of 6-7 January. There were no appreciable storages at any reservoirs in the Merrimack other than this. Thames River Basin. The largest event of the year occurred during 26-27 January. Mansfield Hollow and West Thompson utilized 35 and 31 percent of storage respectively for this event. Impoundments at other reservoirs in the basin varied between 14 and 24 percent. Mansfield Hollow was regulated for canoe races in June, 1978. West Thompson Lake level was raised for AKC retriever trials on several occasions during the period. 59. 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 nagivational 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 fiscal year follows: Stamford Barrier. The barrier gate was closed on 22 occasions due to coastal storms. Total benefits for the fiscal year amounted to $1,775,000. During the storm of 6 February, Stamford experienced the highest ocean level, 9.8 feet above msl. since the project was constructed, accounting for $1,500,000 of total benefits. New Bedford-Fairhaven Barrier. The barrier gates were closed on ten occasions due to coastal storms. Total benefits for the fiscal year amounted to $705,000. Fox Point Barrier. The barrier gates were closed for the storm of 9 January. On this occasion, Providence experienced an ocean level 8.4 feet msl, which was the highest recorded tide associated with a non-hurricane storm in this area. Damages prevented by the operation of Fox Point during this storm amounted to $570,000. 60. OTHER AUTHORIZED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS (See Table 1-N at end of chapter.) 61.

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 of 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 March 3, 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 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 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 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 anchorage; 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 two-way 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, and Burlington, Vermont. 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 water-ways, 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; and obstruction, by vessels, to navigation. 19.

EAST ROCKAWAY INLET TO ROCKAWAY INLET & JAMAICA BAY, N.Y. (PT. I) Location. Atlantic coast of New York City, between East Rockaway and Rockaway Inlets, and the lands within and surrounding Jamaica Bay. The coastal area (about 10 miles long) is a peninsula in Queens County separating the ocean and the bay. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 12327, 12350, and 12326.) Existing project. The project provides for approximately 8.7 million cubic yards of sand fill including the advanced placement of a two year supply of beach nourishment, and Federal participation in the cost of periodic beach nourishment of the shore protection works for 10 years after completion of the initial beach fill. Federal participation (50 percent) includes $8,810,000 (October 1977) first cost and $679,000 annually for 10 years for beach nourishment a total of $15,600,000. Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way, including borrow areas; bear 50.0 percent of total first cost presently estimated at $17,184,400 consisting of a cash contribution of $8,864,400 the final apportionment of cost to be made after actual costs and values have been determined and $832,000 annually for periodic nourishment for 10 years, total non-Federal cost $17,184,400, hold the United States free from damages; maintain, during economic life of project, continued public ownership and use of non-Federal publicly-owned shores upon which Federal participation in beach protection is based; maintain and operate all works after completion, control water pollution to the extent necessary to safeguard the health of bathers; local cooperation agreement was executed by the state May 17, 1974 and approved for Sec/Army 5/31/74. On May 22, 1974 sent to state an approved Escrow Agreement. Operations and results during period. Contract #3 awarded May 6, 1977 in the amount of $2,737,120 for placement of 1,623,000 cubic yards.

Condition as of September 30. Advance engineering and design is completed. Final EIS on file with CEQ on April 16, 1971. Contract # 1 was awarded on August 16, 1974 for restoration of 3.0 miles of project shorefront between Bl0 and B40 Streets, and was completed in September 1976. 23. 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 $28,346,767 (October 1978), of which $2,646,767 is for work authorized by 1958 River and Harbor Act, and $25,700,000 for modification authorized by 1962 River and Harbor Act. Project documents contain 2-14 NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT 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 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 $19,092,335 (October 1978) for new work, of which $2,272,335 (cash contribution) is for work authorized by the 1958 act; and $16,820,000 the 1962 act, of which $16,800,000 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 April 27, 1973 approved by Sec of Army May 24, 1973. 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 for 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-quantity at a cost of $3,335,000 which was the available funds in the fiscal year for the contract. Contract #3 was awarded on August 27, 1975 for dredging 1,845,000 cubic yards of material and placing it along the 11,000-foot long feederbeach. Dredging was commenced in June 1976 and completed in June 1977. Pay quantity was 2,271,457 cubic yards placed along the feeder beach at a cost of $9,017,963. Condition as of September 30. 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. Second dredging operation is complete at a cost of $1,521,941, exclusive of $719,504 required contributed funds. Engineering and design for work under the 1962 act was initiated in April 1965. Model test by Waterways Experiment Station was completed and report submitted November 1969. Design Memorandum was submitted to Chief of Engineers September 1971 and was approved February 1971 subject to comments, which were submitted April 1971. Advance plans and specifications submitted April 1971. The Environmental Statement was submitted to the Council of Environmental Quality April 16, 1971. Contract #1 awarded June 8, 1973, and physically complete May 22, 1974. Contract # 2 was awarded in June 12, 1974. Construction was commenced in July 1974 and was terminated in April 1975. Contract #3 was awarded on August 27, 1975. Construction was commenced in June 1976 and completed in June 1977. The contract area dredged is about 4,100 feet long, 500 feet wide, and follows the alignment of the outer portion of the existing jetty. The edge of the area lies about 250 feet west of jetty and extends a distance of about 300 feet seaward of the jetty light. The dredged depths were as follows: The inner 650 foot length was dredged to 14 feet below mean low water; the middle 2,900 foot portion to 30 feet, and the outer 550 foot portion to 16 feet. A dredging overdepth of 2 feet was allowed in the contract. Near the end of Contract #3 hydrographic surveys showed that a shoal had formed in the seaward end of the contract area so that a clear navigation could not be obtained by completion of the contract work. Accordingly the remaining work was modified and realigned to permit dredging of a 500 foot wide channel with a depth of 16 feet through the shoal. This work was completed in June 1977 within the available funds. The 30 foot dredged portion is also intended to serve as a littoral reservoir to trap the predominant westward littoral drift moving past the end of the jetty and into the inlet. 2-15 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 Funds of $21,000 were allotted to the Waterways Experiment Station in January 1975 for a computer aided historical photo-analysis study of the Fire Island Inlet system.

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 $59,200,000 to consist of items listed in (a) and (b) above and a cash contribution estimated at $45,210,000 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 $83,000 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 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 2-17 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 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. The 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.1. with a 65 foot width at that elevation and the top of berm to 14 feet m.s.l. 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-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. The draft Environmental Impact Statement on the entire project was revised and a final Environmental Impact Statement prepared for review and approval prior to submission to the Council on Environmental Quality. At the request of the local cooperating agency a Phase I design study was initiated in the Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet reach of the project. Condition as of September 30. Engineering and design began November 1962 and project construc- 2-18 NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT tion 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 was placed. Total cost for all Section 1A was $3,663,455 including $1,791,428 required contributed funds. Planning for another increment of work at Westhampton Beach underway. Funds in amount of $70,000 were allotted on April 14, 1977 for initiation of the Phase I study in Reach I, Fire Island Inlet to Moriches Inlet. Environment Impact Statement on entire project prepared. The final environmental impact statement was filed with Environmental Protection Agency on January 28, 1978. On March 7, .1978 Department of the Interior supported by other agencies referred the Environmental Impact Statement to Council on Environmental Quality as unacceptable. On 6 June 1978, the Council on Envinronmental Quality sustained the unacceptable finding and directed project reformulation. Subsequent to strong objections on the project's final Environmental Impact Statement, a meeting was held on September 18 and 19, 1978 with Department of Interior, Environmental Protection Agency and other interested Federal agencies. Subsequently, the Federal agencies have agreed to a basis for the reformulation of the Fire Island to Montauk Point project, including a general agreement on the studies necessary to answer the outstanding concerns. Further coordination and cooperation is planned in order to delineate the full scope and level of the effort needed to reformulate the project. Completion of engineer ing and design, and construction of the project also remain. 28. LIBERTY STATE PARK LEVEE AND SEAWALL, N.J. Location.

Improvement includes constructing 10,821 feet of levees (9,078 feet along Beer Kill and 1,743 feet along Fantine Kill) and 2,761 feet of floodwalls (1,946 feet along Beer Kill and 815 feet along Fantine Kill); capping 440 feet of retaining walls on Beer Kill; removing concrete dam, improving 985 feet of channel, and constructing a 1,144 foot stream diversion on Fantine Kill; providing interior drainage including 2,800 feet of diversion ditches, 4 drainage structures, 2 ponding areas; altering or replacing 6 bridges; and relocating 15 structures and miscellaneous utilities. Existing project known also as "Beer Kill and Fantine Kill at Ellenville, N.Y." is one of three physically and functionally independent projects included in Rondout Creek and Wallkill River, N.Y. and N.J. Survey Report. Final project plans contain latest map. Estimated Federal cost for project is $3,751,300. Estimated non-Federal cost including lands and relocations is $1,427,367. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. It was necessary, under project authorization, for local interests to furnish lands and rights-of-way for construction; alter highways, highway bridges, utility and related facilities; hold the United States free from damages; protect channels, ponding areas and other flood works from future encroachment or obstruction that would reduce their flood carrying capacity and control development of fringe areas not protected by proposed improvement with a view to preventing an undue increase in flood damage potential; and maintain and operate completed works. State of New York is responsible for local cooperation. The Commissioner, New York State Conservation Department (now Dept. of Environmental Conservation), 2-19 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 representing New York State, executed the assurances of Local Cooperation on March 5, 1968, which were accepted by the District Engineer for the United States on March 25, 1968. A supplemental assurance was signed by the State of New York on March 30, 1970 and accepted by the District Engineer on April 10, 1970. Operations and results during period. Continued coordination.

Project construction complete. 30. PASSAIC RIVER BASIN, N.J. & N.Y. Location: The Passaic River Basin comprising 787 square miles in northeastern New Jersey and 148 square miles southern New York State is located in the greater New York City Metropolitan area. The Passaic River is roughly elliptical in shape-26 miles long and 56 miles wide-and in New Jersey contains the major portions of Bergen, Essex, Morris and Passaic Counties and lesser parts of Hudson, Somerset, Sussex and Union Counties. The Basin also includes parts of Orange and Rockland Counties in New York. Previous projects. Two Federal flood control projects have been completed by the Corps of Engineers in the Passaic River Basin. In the Pompton River, a channel clearing project including the removal of shoals and channel restoration was implemented in the two-mile reach from the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Bridge to the Erie Railroad (Greenwood Lake Branch) Bridge. This work was completed in 1954 at a cost of $50,000. A $67,400 project involving desnagging, debris removal and channel restoration was completed in 1951 along Beaver Brook and the Pequannock Township Ditch, tributaries of the Pompton River in Pequannock Township, Morris County, N.J. Existing project. The project was authorized for Phase I studies in Section 101(a) of the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 in accordance with the report of the Chief of Engineers dated 18 February 1976. The estimate of Federal Cost under the authorizing legislation is $850,000,000 (October 1978), plus $2,120,000 cash contribution from local interests and $100,880,000 for items of work to be contributed by local interests. The recommended plan for flood protection, navigation, hurricane protection and recreation consists of a flood detention reservoir, channel diversion and modifications, levees and floodwalls and streambank filling and grading. These works would provide protection against a storm with a recurrence interval of 235 years which is 20 percent larger than the flood of record which occurred in October 1903. Six independent local protection plans are also recommended. The House Public Works Committee Report on the 1976 Water Resources Development Act states that local opposition to any plan, which relies upon extensive use of dikes, dams and levees, such as those proposed in previous survey reports, mandates that the following alternatives, or any combination thereof, shall be the only ones surveyed and considered: (a) A full range of non-structural flood control alternatives to include land acquisition, flood plain mapping, flood proofing, developing early warning systems and relocation of buildings. (b) A tunnel diversion plan. (c) A system of tunnels addressing the needs of the entire basin. (d) Plans that combine local protection works where locally acceptable and non-structural solutions including improvements to stream carrying capacity in accordance with different needs in the Lower Basin and in the Central Basin. (e) Evaluation of fulfilling water supply objectives together with flood control. (f) Aquifier recharge and underground storage. (g) Reservoir management in the headwaters. The Phase I Study is evaluating these alternatives in the formulation of revised plans. Condition as of September 30. The study was initiated under the existing authorization in October 1977. The major work effort through the Fiscal Year included the development of the Plan of Study, topographic, hydrologic and hydraulic studies, and flood damage, economic, and environmental surveys. 31. RAHWAY, SOUTH BRANCH N.J. Location. In city of Rahway, at the junction of South Branch of the Rahway River with the Rahway River, in Union County, New Jersey, 4.6 miles upstream of confluence of the river with Arthur Kill which separates New Jersey from Staten Island, N.Y.

Project was authorized by the Chief of Engineers January 6, 1969, pursuant to Section 205, Public Law 858, 80th Congress, as amended, subject to the adoption of a Department of Housing and Urban Development project (subsequently adopted). Estimated Federal cost for project is 2-20 NEW YORK, N.Y., DISTRICT $1,647,000. Estimated non-Federal cost, including real estate, is $375,000. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. It was necessary, under project authorization, for local interests to furnish without cost to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-of-way for the project, including spoil areas within the city necessary for construction. Local interests must also: hold and save the United States free from damages; maintain completed works; provide without cost to the United States for the relocation of utilities, buildings, raising of roads and manholes, construction of appurtenant sidewalks and curbs; protect the channel and flood control works from encroachment or obstruction including waste disposal that would reduce their flood carrying capacity. Also, agree to take appropriate measures to control development in fringe areas not protected by the improvement with a view to preventing an undue increase in the flood damage potential; to pay all Federal costs in excess of $2,000,000; at least annually notify interests affected that the improvements will not provide complete protection from floods greater than the design condition. An agreement of Local Cooperation was signed by the Mayor, City of Rahway, New Jersey on March 8, 1972, and was signed by the New York District Engineer for the United States on March 16, 1972. A modification No. 1 to the basic agreement was signed by the City of Rahway Mayor on April 9, 1974 and signed by the District Engineer on April 19, 1974. On July 29, 1969, the City of Rahway furnished $27,500 (contributed funds, "other") for non-Federal design costs. Construction of project was authorized on basis of the Department of Housing and Development's acceptance of a city urban renewal project. Operation and results during period. Design supplement to detailed project report approved on December 3, 1974. Construction of project was initiated on June 30, 1975, and is complete. Condition as of September 30. Detailed project report for project was completed on September 18, 1967 and financed under "Rahway, N.J." project. Engineering was started January 9, 1969. Philadelphia District submitted Federal and non-Federal plans and specifications to New York District July 6, 1970. Plans and specifications were subsequently updated by New York District. Environmental Impact Statement submitted to the Council on Environmental Quality on November 8, 1972. Construction of project is completed. Financial closeout remains. 32. RARITAN BAY AND SANDY HOOK BAY, N.J. Location. Comprises about 21 miles of coast in Middlesex and Monmouth Counties, N.J., and is about 30 miles southwest of New York City. It extends along Raritan and Sandy Hook Bays between entrances to Raritan River on the west and Shrewsbury River on the east. Sandy Hook, N.J., a low-lying peninsula on the east, separates Atlantic Ocean from Sandy Hook Bay. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 70, 286, 369, 824, 1000, 1108, 1215; and Geological Survey quadrangles of South Amboy, Keyport and Sandy Hook.) Existing project. Federal participation in constructing levees, beach fill, interior drainage facilities and groins for beach erosion control and hurricane protection. For Madison Township section, combined shore and hurricane protection improvement provides for: about 1.7 miles of beach fill at elevations of 5.5, 10, and 15 feet above mean sea level; about 0.4 mile of tieback levees at 15 feet above mean sea level; and interior drainage facilities. Shore protection improvement is provided for Matawan Township and Borough of Union Beach sections, including about 0.9 miles of beach fill at elevations of 5.5 and 10 feet above mean sea level for Matawan, and about 0.6 mile of beach fill at 5.5 feet above mean sea level for Union Beach. In the Borough of Keansburgh, East Keansburg, and West Keansburg, hurricane protection is provided, including about 2.7 miles of beach fill and 2.3 miles of tieback levees at an elevation of 15 feet above mean sea level; interior drainage structures; hurricane gate; and three groins in Keansburg for shore protection. Design studies relocated for Keansburgh- East Keansburg closure to an alignment west of Thorne Creek and provide additional protection in West Keansburg. Total estimated Federal cost is $8,600,000 which includes $57,000 reimbursement to local interests as federal share of costs incurred for beach protection accomplished at Keansburg in 1957. Total estimated non-Federal cost for all requirements of local cooperation is $4,580,000, including $4,043,000 cash contribution. Project cost estimate reflects the cost sharing provisions of 1962 River and Harbor Act. These new provisions, resulted in increase in Federal participation from about 64.8 percent to about 66.4 percent of estimated project cost exclusive of reimbursable completed work at Keansburg. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Complied with for the Madison and Keansburg-East-West Keansburg sections, except for those provisions affecting continuing actions such as operation and maintenance. For details see 1970 Annual Report. By resolution dated December 2, 1963, Matawan Township declined to participate in the project at the present time. The State then requested construction of Matawan Township section be deferred for inclusion in a later contract. In 1974, local interests had proposed a master plan for park development along the Cliffwood Beach portion of Matawan Township, generally in the area 2-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 of the authorized Federal improvement. The third phase of the master plan provided for restoration of a fronting beach which would be opened for public recreational use. In December 1974, local interests requested that the beach restoration work which they intended to accomplish, be considered as meeting the authorized Federal plan and requested consideration for Federal reimbursement under Section 221 of the Flood Control Act of 1968. Subsequently, they prepared a general design memorandum for the beach restoration work and submitted it for review and approval in September 1977. Approval of the General Design Memorandum was made in June 1978. Approval for the Chief of Engineers to execute the local cooperating agreement was made by the Chairmen of the House and Senate Subcommittees on Public Works, and Committees on Appropriations, on September 8, 1978 and October 23, 1978, respectively. Execution of the agreement and construction of the work is anticipated in Fiscal Year 1979. Assurances for Union Beach will be obtained if and when construction planning starts. Operations and results during period. Construction was accomplished for improvement work which was added to the previously completed original Keansburg Closure Work. Operations and Maintenance Manual for shore and closure work at Keansburg prepared and issued to State of New Jersey. Under authority of Section 215 of the Flood Control Act of 1968 (P.L. 90-483), design work was completed by local interests for restoration of 5,600 feet of recreational beach along the Cliffwood Beach shore of Matawan Township. The proposed work provides for placement of 255,000 cubic yards of sand fill to be obtained from land borrow sources at a cost of about $1,030,000 of which the Federal share is estimated at $651,000. Condition as of September 30. Engineering and design of existing project commenced November 1962 and resulted in the completion of design studies, and plans and specifications for the Madison section and the Keansburg section. Design for the Matawan section is complete. Entire project construction about 93 percent complete.

The second portion of the project, known as the Elmsford-Greenburgh area, is north of the Village of Elmsford, separated from Babbitt court by approximately 4000 feet. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map, White Plains, N.Y. Existing project. In the Babbit Court area, the project provides for approximately 1,450 feet of levees and flood walls with associated ponding and interior drainage facilities. Within the Elmsford- Greenburgh area, the existing channel is to be widened and deepened for 2,450 feet with an additional 600 feet of channel modification on the tributary, Mine Brook. Levees and flood walls will be constructed on both banks of the Saw Mill River totalling approximately 4,500 feet and extending along Mine Brook to high ground. Ponding areas, a pumping station and other drainage structures will be provided. The total estimated Federal cost for the project is $4,180,000 exclusive of land, relocations and other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated cost of $1,200,000 (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and rights-of-way for construction, including borrow, ponding, and waste disposal areas; hold the United States free from damages; maintain and operate completed works; provide all alterations, relocations, and necessary replacements of existing facilities, including bridges, highways, sewers, (including those storm sewers and drains required to convey interior drainage to improved channels or ponding areas) utilities, and railroad modifications and relocations other than bridges and bridge approaches; protect the channel and other flood works from future encroachment or obstruction, including waste disposal, which would reduce or otherwise impair their flood-carrying capacity, or provide a pumping station or additional gravity outlets, as appropriate, to compensate for any loss in ponding area effectiveness due to modification of or encroachment upon such areas; take appropriate measures to control development in partially protected areas and fringe areas not included in the project with a view toward preventing an undue increase in the flood damage potential; and at least annually, notify those affected that flooding will still be possible from large floods. New York State is the Local Cooperating Agency. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, by letter dated June 12, 1974, indicated the State's intention to cooperate in the proposed plan. Operation and results during period.

Emergency Flood Control Activities--repair, flood fighting and rescue work (Public Law 99, 84th Cong., and antecedent legislation). (Also National Disaster Activities). Under "Advance Preparation" the New York District completed its various emergency manuals attended meetings and seminars, assisted San Francisco District in PL-99 Repair and Restoration letter report writing and lending technical assistance to requesting localities and officials as well as conducting field inspections to determine eligibility for possible PL-99 projects. 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 78,000 sandbags were distributed to various state and local communities. During this period two inspections were made of non-Federal Flood Control Works in Armonk, N.Y. and Catskill Creek in Green County, N.Y. Technical assistance was provided to residents of Middleburgh, N.Y. on a localized flood problem and in Rocky Point, N.Y. on a land slide problem. During this period the Emergency Operations Center was activated in response to the following storm alerts: (a) Storm of October 17-18, 1977 (b) Storm of November 7-8, 1977 (c) Storm of January 8-9, 1978 (d) Storm of February, 6-7, 1978 (e) Storm of May 15-16, 1978 (f) Hurricane "Ella" August 31, 1978 thru September 1978. Pursuant to the storms of February 9 and 10, 1978 in New York and February 11-14, 1978 in New Jersey, New York District conducted "Windshield Surveys" for the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration (FDAA) under the authority of PL-288. Ice Jam removal operations and/or temporary level construction under the "Advance Measures" provision of PL-99 were accomplished in the following areas: (a) Montpelier-Middlesex, Vermont (b) Hardwick, Vermont (c) Whitesboro, New York (d) Prattsville, New York Under "Rehabilitation", the severe storm of February 6-7, 1978 aggrevated the erosion problem in the Federal project area at Rockaway Beach, New York. Emergency funds were received to restore the eroded areas of this beach. Under the "Clean Drinking Water Act", a reconnaissance investigation was made in the Suffolk County Communities of Mastic, Mastic Beach and Shirley, New York. The results revealed that Corps assistance was not appropriate in this case. Federal Disaster Assistance Administration; Work accomplished under PL 93-288.

On New Jersey coast about 65 miles north of Delaware breakwater, between Brigantine Beach on the Lorth and Absecon Beach on the south. It forms entrance to harbor at Atlantic City, N.J. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 826 and 1217). Previous project. For details see Annual Report for 1936, page 319. Existing project. This provides for an inlet entrance channel 20 feet deep at mean low water and 400 feet wide, for an entrance channel 15 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the inlet channel into Clam Creek, and for a turning basin 15 feet deep within Clam Creek. The act authorizing the inlet entrance channel also provides that should the channel at any time have a deleterious effect on the Atlantic City Beach, work upon the improvements may cease; it being understood that the project is adopted on the basis that the interests of the beach in front of the city are superior to those of the inlet. The total length of the section included in the project is about 1.5 miles. The extreme tidal range, due to ocean storms, is about 11 feet. The cost for the completed project was $307,712. (See Table 3-B at end of chapter for Acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Fully compiled with except that local interests are required to furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas for maintenance when and as required for the dredging of the entrance channel into Clam Creek and the trning basin within Clam Creek. Terminal facilities. See pages 239 and 240 of Annual Report for 1962. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance, hired labor: U. S. Hopper Dredge HYDE commenced dredging on July 17, 1978 and completed the work on August 4, 1978. A total of 25,785 cubic yards of material was removed at a cost of $160,888. Costs for surveys, miscellaneous engineering and administration were $14,888. Condition as of Sept. 30. Project was completed May 1957. Inlet channel was completed in 1938. Dredging entrance from inlet channel into Clam Creek was completed in 1957. Costs for existing project were $307,712 for new work and $5,506,239 for maintenance, a total of $5,813,951. 2. BARNEGAT INLET, N.J. Location.

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. A piezometer system was installed in the embankment, foundation, and abutments of the 4-29 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 Savage River Dam, Md., to monitor performance of the structure. 50. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR OPERATIONS Operations and results during fiscal year. 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 $12,551. 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 $12,372. 51. OTHER AUTHORIZED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS (See Table 4-M at end of chapter.) 52. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Emergency flood control activities-repair, flood fighting, and rescue work (Public Law 99, 84th Congress, and antecedent legislation). (See Table 4-N at end of chapter.) Flood control activities pursuant to Section 205, Public Law 858, 80th Congress, as amended (preauthorization). Costs during the period were $74,477 for Pine Grove, Pa. and $25,000 for preparation of five unfavorable reconnaissance reports. Water Supply 53. POTOMAC ESTUARY PILOT WATER TREATMENT PLANT, D.C. Location. The project is located in Washington, D.C., on the north side of the District of Columbia's Water Pollution Control Plant (Blue Plains), about 600 feet east of the Potomac River shoreline. Existing project. The project consists of a water treatment plant with a maximum capacity of one million gallons per day that includes advanced treatment processes and an evaluation laboratory. Local cooperation. On June 28, 1977 the Government of the District of Columbia issued a real estate permit for the construction of the pilot plant on 1.5 acres of land available at the Blue Plains wastewater treatment facility in Washington, D.C. A review during preconstruction planning determined that cost sharing for the pilot plant by local governmental entities is not required. Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: Construction of the pilot plant continued at a cost of $3,184,717. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in September 1977 and is 46 percent complete. Work remaining includes completion of construction followed by calibration, two years of testing, and evaluation of the plant and preparation of a report on the testing program. 54. 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 (1977) of new work is $68,100,000 of which $60,595,000 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 onehalf 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 fiscal year. Preconstruction planning for the project was terminated due to the Congress withdrawing funds from the President's FY 78 budget. 4-30 BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was initiated in November 1974. Due to deleting of project funds by the Congress, a brief negative report was prepared; however, no affirmation of the survey report conclusions and recommendation could be made.

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 transmission mains are in the District of Columbia. Federally 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 and maintenance of the collection, purification, pumping, and transmission facilities; protection of the water supply system; 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, one-half of the expenses for 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, 1916, expenses for construction, operation, and maintenance were paid one-half from the United States Treasury. From July 1, 1916 to June 30, 1927, 60 percent of the expense for construction was paid from the general revenues of the District of Columbia and 40 percent was paid by the United States Government. From July 1, 1916 to January 22, 1976, all expenses for operation and maintenance were 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. Treasurery for Capital Improvements. From July 1, 1927 to January 22, 1976, all expenses for construction were paid from loans and revenues deposited in the Water Fund. Since January 22, 1976, expenses for operation, maintenance and construction have been paid from the General Fund. The Revenues Funds Availability Act of 1975, approved January 22, 1976, combined various District of Columbia special funds into one General Fund for the District of Columbia. From 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 used by and water services furnished to the Federal Government within the District of Columbia at the rates applicable to other consumers in the District of Columbia. For 4-31 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 water used by the Federal Government outside the District, the rates applicable are those charged in the respective local jurisdictions within which the Federal facilities are situated. Operations and results during 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 Fiscal Year 1978 was 72,404 million gallons; the maximum daily consumption was 249.7 million gallons and average daily consumption was 198.4 million gallons. Average per capita consumption was 185.8 gallons per day. The average amount furnished Arlington County and Falls Church, Virginia was 38.16 million gallons per day. The District of Columbia was reimbursed in the amount of $2,450,247 for water furnished to the Virginia communities by the Washington Aqueduct. Maryland communities were supplied an average of 21,627 gallons per day during Fiscal Year 1978 by the District of Columbia through connections to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission system. On 23 June 1952, fluoridation equipment was placed into 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 58 Formazin Turbidity Units and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was 9,843. After treatment, the average turbidity of the filtered water was .22 and the average Most Probable Number of coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters was .14. The average calcium carbonate alkalinity of the filtered water was 66 P.P.M. and the average pH value was 7.9. Average hardness was 135 milligrams per litre. Analyses were made for coliform bacteria on 124,892 tubes of Lactose broth inoculated with water taken from 220 sampling points in the collection, purification, and distribution systems. Approximately 51,684 physical and chemical tests were performed on 18,226 water samples taken from the supply and distribution system. Fluoride content of 3,979 water samples was determined. During Fiscal Year 1978, direct operating costs of water treated and delivered to the system per million gallons was $119.93. Similar costs during Fiscal Year 1977 were $116.00 per million gallons. Visitors. During the year, 621 persons toured the water supply facilities. 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 at end of fiscal year. 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. The status of construction work authorized with "no year" funds was as follows at the end of FY 78: New shops and storehouses, Dalecarlia, 100 percent; emergency pumping from Potomac River estuary, 85 percent; water treatment plant wastewater disposal, 10 percent; McMillan Water Treatment Plant Replacement, 5 per cent. 4-32 BALTIMORE, MD., DISTRICT TABLE 4-A COST AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT See Total Cost Section to in Text Project Funding FY 75 FY 76 FY 77 FY 78 Sept. 30, 1978 1.

Work remaining to complete the active portion of the project consists of deepening one of the deep-draft anchorages to 45 feet. 12. RAPPAHANNOCK RIVER, VA. Location. Rises in Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and flows south-easterly about 212 miles to enter Chesapeake Bay, about 40 miles north of Port Royal, Virginia (see Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 12237). Existing project. A channel 12 feet deep and 200 feet wide between mouth and Port Royal and 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide between Port Royal and Fredericksburg, by dredging and construction of 20,401 feet of crib and pile dikes and 1,906 feet of riprap of stone dikes designed to retain excavated material deposited behind them. Plane of reference is mean low water. Tidal ranges are mean 2.8 feet at Fredericksburg, 1.6 feet at Tappahannock, irregular 3.5 feet at Fredericksburg, 2.5 feet at Tappahannock, extremes 6 feet at Fredericksburg, 5 feet at Tappahannock. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. Existing facilities are considered adequate. For details see page 222 of Annual Report for 1969. Operations and results during fiscal year. A large cellophane manufacturing plant generated the major commerce on the river above Tappahannock. Investigations, revealed the closing of this plant reduced the commerce making it insufficient to justify maintenance dredging. Future studies will be made to determine any changes in the existing situation. Operation of the project including condition surveys, inspections, and reports amounted to $27,378. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project restored in July 1908 and completed April 1910. Shoal conditions existed in Fredericksburg Bar, however, existing dimensions are considered adequate. Shoal conditions exist to a lesser extent on the remainder of the project. Periodic maintenance dredging is being done below Fredericksburg Bar to maintain full project dimensions. 13. SUPERVISION OF THE HARBOR OF HAMPTON ROADS (PREVENTION OF OBSTRUCTIVE AND INJURIOUS DEPOSITS) Laws enacted for preservation of the Harbor of Hampton Roads, Virginia, its adjacent and tributary waters, and so much of Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries as lies within the State of Virginia and so much of the Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries lies within the jurisdiction of the United States, within or to the east of the State of Virginia are administered by the Supervisor of the Harbor of Hampton Roads. Laws relating to the supervision of Harbor of Hampton Roads are Supervisory Harbors Act of 1888, Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, Rivers and Harbors Act of 1905, Rivers and Harbors Act of 1950, Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972, Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuary Act of 1972, and the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. Sppervision was exercised by means of 4 patrol vessels including 2 small outboards (554 patrols, 4,432 manhours), 3 to 4 patrol cars(1,140 patrol, 9,120 manhours), and commercial aircraft for aerial photographic reconnaissance (10 patrols, 80 manhours). Patrols were maintained to detect illegal deposits into navigable waters and to make scheduled inspections of proposed and current projects dealing with dredging, filling, and construction in navigable waters. An educational program continued with a view towards preventing violations of applicable Federal laws. This program was affectual through press releases, public notices, public talks, and personal interviews with interested agencies, committees, and private industries. 5-8 NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT* Agreements were continued with various Federal, state, and local agencies having related or similar responsibilities and functions to obtain maximum results with minimum costs by eliminating duplication of effort. Effective 1 October 1978, a joint permit application was adopted between the State of Virginia and the Norfolk District. This joint permit application should eliminate numerous forms of paperwork required to process a permit application under the applicable Federal statute. The Norfolk District's Regulatory Functions Branch also established a Northern Neck project office which has also aided surveillance activities in that the general public living in the 13 counties serviced by the project office, now have readily available Corps personnel to assist them with their questions and problems on waterfront construction. Summary of legal action during fiscal year. Disposition of legal action to end of fiscal year for violations of Federal statutes is as follows: Two cases referred for litigation, 44 cases closed (includes declinations and restorations), and 49 cases pending. 14. TANGIER CHANNEL, VA. Location. A tidal channel about 2 miles long extending from Tangier Island, Virginia, northeasterly to deep water in Tangier Sound, Chesapeake Bay and northwesterly to deep water on Chesapeake Bay. (See Coast and Geodetic Chart No. 12225.) Existing project. A channel 8 feet deep at mean low water and 100 feet wide from 8-foot contour to Tangier Sound to day marker no. 4, and thence 8 feet deep and 60 feet wide to the town of Tangier, with an anchorage basin adjacent to town 400 feet square and 7 feet deep. A channel 7 feet deep and 60 feet wide for about 4,000 feet from the anchorage basin north-westerly across Tangier Island to Chesapeake Bay. Mean range of tide is 1.7 feet and extreme tidal range is 4.7 feet. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Complied with except that local interests must furnish spoil disposal area as needed for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. Accomack County constructed a public dock in 1961. There are four privately-owned docks adjacent to existing project and two marine railways. Facilities are considered adequate for existing and prospective commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging was in progress at the beginning of the fiscal year and was completed April 12, 1978. There were 51,416 cubic yards of credited material removed at a direct cost of $100,183. Engineering and design and supervision and administration amounted to $15,768. Condition at end of fiscal year. Channel from Tangier Sound to anchorage basin at Tangier was completed in 1948. Construction of channel across Tangier Island began in December 1965 and was completed in January 1966. Periodic maintenance dredging is being done to maintain full existing project dimensions. 15. TYLERS BEACH, VA. Location. On south shore of James River in Isle of Wight County in a deep indentation known as Burwells Bay about 13 miles above the mouth of the James River. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 12248.) Existing project. Provides for harbor of refuge 6 feet deep, 150 feet wide and 300 feet long, just south of Tylers Beach, and a channel 6 feet deep, 50 feet wide and about 2,350 feet long from that depth in Burwells Bay to the harbor of refuge. Plane of reference is mean low water. Mean range of tide is 2.4 feet. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details see Annual Report for 1967. Terminal facilities. A public landing has been constructed by a local interest under the requirements of local cooperation. Watermen basing operations at Tylers Beach have constructed mooring facilities in the harbor of refuge for their vessels. Existing facilities are considered adequate. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging of Tylers Beach has been attempted for the past 2 years but environmental agencies found the previsouly used, upland disposal site unacceptable. In 1978, full project restoration was deferred in favor of partial dredging, a plan advanced by the environmental agencies. Plans for partial dredging were prepared but not advertised at the request of local interests. Locals decided in favor of a study calling for jetties and bulkheading as a part of the federal project. Consequently, plans for partial dredging were abandoned. Engineering and design and supervision and administration amounted to $12,446. Condition at end of fiscal year. New work dredging of the project commenced in June and was completed in July 1968. 16. WATERWAY ON THE COAST OF VIRGINIA Location. Between barrier beach along Atlantic Ocean on the east and Virginia portion 5-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 of mainland penninsula on the west. It extends for 83.7 miles from south end of Chincoteague Bay through a number of creeks, thoroughfares, and bays, to enter Chesapeake Bay in the vicinity of Fisherman Island, just south of Cape Charles on the southern tip of the penninsula. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart Nos. 1221, 12210, and 12221.) Existing projects. An inland waterway 6 feet deep at mean low water and 60 feet wide from Chesapeake Bay to Chincoteague Bay, Virginia. Mean range of tide is about 3 feet. Greater fluctuations in water level are caused by high winds and storms. A modification of the project approved during 1970 under Section 201 of the Flood Control Act of 1965 authorizes relocation of portions of the waterway and widening to 100 feet. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Complied with except that local interests are to furnish spoil disposal areas for future maintenance. Terminal facilities. Existing facilities are considered adequate. For details see Annual Report for 1969. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation of the project including condition surveys, tide gauging, inspection and reports amounted to $119,725. Maintenance dredging, by contract, of Magothy Bay, Sloop Channel and Burtons Bay was accomplished between October 20, 1977 and January 1978. There were 291,075 cubic yards of credited material removed. Maintenance dredging of White Trout Creek, Swash Bay, Bogues Bay, and Northam Narrows was accomplished between October 26, 1977 and March 15, 1978. There were 160,200 cubic yards of credited material removed. Contractors earnings for both jobs was $688,655. Engineering and design and supervision and administration amounted to $164,604. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was completed in 1959. Annual maintenance dredging is being done to maintain full existing project dimensions.

Four detailed project reports, Deep Creek, Newport News, Va.; Jarvis Creek, Northumberland County, Va.; Nottoway River, Southampton County, Va. and Upper Lafayette River, Norfolk, Va. were in progress at the end of the fiscal year. One detailed project report, Jones Creek, Isle of Wight County, Va. was terminated during the fiscal year due to lack of economic feasibility. Beach Erosion Control 20. ANDERSON PARK, NEWPORT NEWS, VA. Location. Anderson Park is a city-owned recreational area of approximately 45 acres located in the southeastern section of Newport News. The park has approximately 3,000 feet of shoreline bordering Hampton Roads and is immediately southwest of Salters Creek. The ground elevation of Anderson Park is approximately 8 feet mean sea level. Previous projects. None. Existing project. The recommended plan of improvement provides for construction of a placed stone revetment along the 1,500 feet of the badly eroded northeastern shoreline of the park. The shoreline would be built outwardly about 25 feet with fill material and then stabilized with the revetment. This structure also would allow continued use of the 1,500 foot recreational beach by preventing the park from becoming severed. The revetment would consist of an armor layer approximately 36 inches thick. This armor layer would be constructed of uniform stone ranging in weight from 300-500 pounds. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.) Local cooperation. Requirements are as follows: a. Contribute in cost the local share of project construction cost presently estimated at $229,000 and assume full responsibility for all project cost in excess of the Federal cost limitation of $1,000,000. b. Provide without cost to the United States all necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way. 5-10 NORFOLK, VA., DISTRICT* c. Hold and save the United States free from claims for damages which may result from construction and subsequent maintenance of the project which are not a result of negligence of the United States or its contractors. d. Assure that water pollution that would affect the health of bathers will not be permitted. e. Assure continued public ownership and continued public use of shore upon which the amount of Federal participation is based and its administration for public use during the economic life of the project. f. Assure maintenance and repair during the useful life of the works as required to serve the project's intended purpose. g. Provide and maintain necessary access roads, parking areas, and other public use facilities open and available to all on equal terms. Terminal facilities. None. Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction of the project was in progress at the end of the fiscal year. Amount paid to contractor was $75,000. All other costs associated with construction amounted to $31,329. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction is continuing. 21. VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. Location. On the 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 12227.) Existing project. Federal participation in restoration and protection of shore of Virginia Beach between Rudee Inlet and 49th Street by articicial 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 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 (1978) is $4,900,000. Estimated cost to local interests is $4,900,000. 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. The 1974 modification provides for structural and non-structural improvements. Structural measures would be provided for the 6 mile reach of shoreline between Rudee Inlet and 89th Street. This would include raising the beach to elevation 10 feet and a width of 100 feet, driving a sheet pile wall just seaward of the existing bulkhead from Rudee Inlet to 57th Street; and raising and strengthening sand dunes from 57th to 89th Streets. The estimated cost (1978) of the structural improvements are Federal $24,500,000 and non-Federal $12,800,000. (See Table 5-B for Authorizing 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 combined within 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 the fiscal year. New work: Local interests were reimbursed for the Federal share of periodic nourishment of the 5-11 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 beach, and Federal costs pertinent thereto. 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 5 year supply of beach nourishment material was stockpiled at nearby Fort Story to be transported to the beach by local interests. During fiscal year 1978, supplemental sand supplies were obtained from a disposal area near Lynnhaven Inlet. 22.

Located in the piedmont plateau of Virginia, the city of Richmond is bordered in the north by Henrico County and on the south by Chesterfield County. The James River flows directly through Richmond separating its business district into the Shockoe Creek area on the north bank and the southside industrial commercial complex. Previous projects. None. Existing projects. The project would provide a system of floodwalls and levees to protect the Shockoe Creek and southside industrialcommercial areas from a flood having a recurrence interval of once in 250 years (3 feet above the 1972 flood of record). Four pumping stations to collect and dispose of interior run-off, and twenty street and railroad closures will be included. The project also provides for flood proofing the existing municipal sewage treatment plant. Principle features of the project will consist of about 4,410 feet of concrete floodwall on the northside; 2,340 feet of concrete floodwall and 8,954 feet of earth levee on the southside of the river. The Design Flood is estimated to have an average occurrence interval of about 250 years, and has a discharge of 85 percent of the Standard Project Flood. The sewage treatment plant will be protected by conventional floodproofing methods. The protection has been designed to (1) keep the plant operational up to and including the 25-Year Flood, (2) to minimize damages so the plant can be put back into operation in a reasonable amount of time for floods in excess of the 25-Year Flood, but not greater than the 100-Year Event.

Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in Wilmington District. Existing project. The existing 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 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 in cooperation with other Federal and State agencies in accordance with the report of the Chief of Engineers, House Document 251, 89th Congress, 1st session. The project was authorized by Section 302, 1965 River and Harbor Act (H.D. 25, 89th Cong., 1st sess.). The Act provides that research and planning costs shall be borne fully by the United States. 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. No control work was performed on Eurasian watermilfoil and alligatorweed. Because of environmental considerations, the N. C. Department of Natural and Economic Resources has asked that chemical treatment of alligatorweed cease. Planning was accomplished at a federal cost of $19. Condition at end of fiscal year. The State General Design Memorandum was submitted to higher authority and approved December 1969. The supplemental agreement to contract with the State of North Carolina was approved and accepted by the State, effective April 1970. No control work is proposed now. Results of prior years' work will continue under study and surveillance. 2. ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY BETWEEN NORFOLK, VA. AND ST. JOHNS RIVER, FLA. (WILMINGTON DISTRICT) Location.

After dropping to elevation 295.87 on November 30, 1977 or 0.4 foot above rule curve, the lake surface fluctuated near and above the rule curve until heavy rainfall caused the lake to rise to an elevation of 314.21 on January 31, 1978 or 18.7 feet above the rule curve. Afterwards, below average rainfall aided in the lowering of the lake surface to elevation 299.86 on March 8, 1978, or 2.8 feet above rule curve. Heavy rainfall caused the lake to rise to elevation 308.89 on March 18, 1978. Afterwards, with normal fluctuations, the lake surface dropped to elevation 302.14 on April 20, 1978 or about on rule curve. As a result of heavy rainfall, Kerr Reservoir rose sharply to elevation 316.16 at the end of April and to elevation 318.75 on May 11, 1978 which was the maximum elevation for the fiscal year and only 0.1 foot below the maximum lake elevation of record. The lake surface then was steadily pulled down to elevation 300.81 on June 23, 1978 or just over one foot above rule curve, and to elevation 299.11 on July 27, 1978 or slightly below rule curve. From this time on until September 30, 1978, the reservoir fluctuated above rule curve except briefly on two occasions with a maximum and minimum elevation of 302.52 on August 14, 1978 and 299.39 on September 19, 1978, respectively. Kerr Reservoir was at elevation 300.14 on September 30, 1978, or 0.6 foot above rule curve. 6-17 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 Philpott Lake rose slightly at the beginning of the fiscal year, and then dropped to elevation 960.90 on October 7, or 10.6 feet below rule curve which was the minimum elevation for the fiscal year. Philpott Lake rose to elevation 973.00 on December 12, 1977 or 1.5 feet above rule curve. The lake then fluctuated near the rule curve until heavy rainfall caused the lake to rise rapidly to an elevation of 976.18 on January 30, 1978 or 4.7 feet above rule curve. Then, with normal fluctuation, the lake level was drawn down to near rule curve on February 17, 1978, and remained near rule curve until heavy rainfall caused the lake to rise to elevation 976.06 on March 15, 1978, or 3.1 feet above rule curve. The lake was gradually drawn down to elevation 973.42 on April 21, 1978 or near rule curve. As a result of heavy rainfall, Philpott Lake rose rapidly to elevation 979.60 on April 27, 1978, which was the maximum elevation for the fiscal year. The lake was then gradually drawn down to near the rule curve where it remained until on August 14, 1978, the lake rose to elevation 975.64 or 2.6 feet above rule curve. From this time on, the lake surface fell with normal fluctuations to elevation 970.95 on September 30, 1978 or 0.6 foot below rule curve. In the Roanoke River Basin below Kerr Dam, a minimum stage of 13 feet was provided at Weldon, N. C., during the striped bass spawning season. All inflows to Kerr Reservoir 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 703,994,200 Kilowatt-hours and 37,138,370 Kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. Total cost of functional operation for the period was $106,527 for John H. Kerr project and $35,778 for Philpott. General Investigations 37. SURVEYS Cost for the period was $827,449, of which $52,412 was for navigation studies, $430,274 was for flood control studies, $230,461 was for beach erosion studies, $4,000 for soil conservation service, $15,762 for water quality management, $10,000 for coastal zone management, $16,903 for technical assistance for shore and streambank erosion, $12,009 for hydrologic studies, and $55,628 for cooperation with states. 38. 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 period were $221,268. Total costs to September 30, 1978 were $2,096,970. (See Table 6-J for Completed Flood- Plain Studies.) 6-18 WILMINGTON, N.

ADAMS CREEK, S.C. Location. The project is located in Charleston County, on the southeastern end of Wadmalaw Island near the Village of Rockville. The estuarial creek flows generally southward into Bohicket Creek and from there into the North Edisto River and then into the Atlantic Ocean. (See National Ocean Survey Chart No. 11512) Existing Project. The project provides for a stable all-tide channel 10-feet deep and 80-feet wide extending from that depth in Bohicket Creek to a turning basin in the vicinity of the uppermost dock at Rockville, a distance of 1.45 miles. The channel was dredged to a 2-foot overdepth and follows the general alignment of the natural channel. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. All items of local cooperation have been complied with except the present requirement that a suitable disposal area be furnished for maintenance. Terminal facilities. There are two marinas located on Adams Creek with docking and fueling facilities. There is also a ship repair yard which has docking and fueling facilities as well as a marine railway. All these facilities are privately owned but are open to all on an equal basis. Existing facilities are considered adequate for present and near future commerce. Operations and results during fiscal i'ear. Funds of $24,681 were transferred from project since a suitable disposal area was not available. Condition as of Sept. 30, 1978. The project was completed in February 1973. Federal costs to date have been $125,697 for new work and $5,319 for maintenance, a total of $131,016. 2. 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: No new work was done because there are no problem-causing growths of alligatorweed in any project streams. However, should problems with alligatorweed develop, it would be necessary to obtain a specific exemption from EPA before any spray operations since there is no herbicide certified for use on alligatorweed in flowing waters. Flea beetles were restocked on all project streams but could not be found for the second time since their introduction during the period 1967-71. Evidence of stem borers was widely observed, but these insects did not appear to be causing significant damage. Brazilean elodea has become established in many areas near the South Carolina Coast and is the worst aquatic plant problem in the state public waters. Lake Marion, which is about 172 square miles in area, has an estimated 20,000 acres infested with this plant. A reconnaissance is underway to determine the status of Egeria in South Carolina, with field work being completed during this period. 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 $10,981 for planning. Condition as of September 30, 1978. There are no problem-causing growths of alligatorweed on any project stream. 3.

Cooper River is located in Charleston and Berkeley Counties, S.C., and empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Charleston. (See National Ocean 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 will not establish a density current in the harbor. The excess water then impounded in Lake Moultrie will 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 will be constructed on the new canal where the ground elevations decrease to become swampland adjacent to the Santee River. This plant will replace those features made less 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, will approximate the existing average Pinopolis flow. The three generators at the new plant will 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 will also provide for construction of a herring lift at the new powerhouse site and a relocated fish hatchery. Estimated cost of the project (1977) is $107,000,000, 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. Contracts were awarded for turbines, generators and access roads during FY 1977.

Roaring River, located in Wilkes County, North Carolina, originates northeast of North Wilkesboro and northwest of Elkin and flows generally southeast from the confluence of its middle and east prongs for approximately 5.8 miles to the Yadkin River. Existing project. The project is authorized to undertake Phase I design memorandum stage of advance engineering and design to determine the economic feasibility for a multiple-purpose earth fill dam rising 159 feet high and 970 feet long about 2.9 miles above the confluence of Roaring River with the Yadkin River. Estimated cost of the project (1977) is $27,900,000 of which $3,306,000 is reimbursable for water supply under the Water Supply Act of 1958 and $1,188,000 for recreation. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. Recreation, water supply and water quality interests must administer project land and water areas for recreation, pay, contribute in kind, or re-pay (which may be through user fees) with interest, one-half of the separable costs allocated to recreation, bear all costs of operation, maintenance and replacement of recreational facilities, repay all costs of operation, maintenance and replacements allocated to water supply, require effective treatment and control measures at all sources of pollution to assure the maintenance of water quality, and give assurances that releases for water quality control will be legally protected from withdrawals for other purposes. Operations and results during period. The project is in the preconstruction planning stage awaiting completion of Phase I design memorandum studies. Engineering and design costs were $1. 7-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY, FY 1978 Condition as of September 30, 1978. Project is being held in abeyance awaiting a determination of the feasibility of the Reddies River Lake, N.C. project. 23. SCOTTS CREEK, NEWBERRY COUNTY, S.C. Location. Scotts Creek watershed is located in Newberry County, South Carolina. It is formed by two tributaries, North and South Fork Scotts Creek, which originate upstream of the City of Newberry and converge approximately 1 mile southwest (downstream) of the Newberry, South Carolina city limits. Scotts Creek flows into Bush River, which flows into the Saluda River near the upper extremities of Lake Murray. Existing project. The authorized project consists of clearing and snagging the existing channel from S.C. Highway 34 upstream a distance of.35 mile to S.C. Highway 34 By-Pass. Channel enlargement begins at this point and extends an additional 2.29 miles upstream on the North Fork of Scotts Creek. Local interests are to provide guidance and leadership to prevent unwise development of the flood plain, thereby reducing damages to future development. (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 and save the United States free from damages; maintain and operate the project after completion; prevent future encroachments; notify affected interests annually that the improvement will not provide complete flood protection; and prevent unwise and uneconomical future development of the flood plain area through flood plain management techniques. Operations and results during period. The authorized project was field surveyed and construction plans continued at a total cost of $17,173. Condition as of September 30, 1978. City and County officials have withdrawn local sponsorship of the authorized project. 24. 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, 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 two-reservoir 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. 24A. 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. 7-10 CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT Operations and results during period. New work: Two shower-wash houses with sewage treatment plants were completed in FY 1977. Costs of $805 were incurred in FY 1978. Maintenance: Operation and maintenance cost $641,878. During the period the project had a visitation of 1,434,957. 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, seven floods occurred that required the use of I foot or more of the project's flood control storage. Four floods were minor, each using less than 4 feet of the allocated flood control space. However, the remaining three floods used 6.4, 12.2 and 31.2 feet. The maximum flood occurred in November 1977 and reached a pool elevation of 1061.2 feet, the highest pool elevation attained since completion of the project in 1960. This flood used 65,780 acre-feet or 58.7 percent of the flood control space available. Estimated total flood damages prevented by the project for FY 78 were $11,728,700. In addition to the floods that occurred, a minor drawdown also occurred during the period as a result of a release schedule requested by the water supply sponsors. This drawdown commenced in September 1977, reaching a low pool elevation of 1027.0 on 25 October 1977. Condition as of September 30, 1978. The project was commenced in August 1960 and placed in operation for flood control and water storage purposes in February 1963. 24B. 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. The Phase I General Design Memorandum has been returned to the Charleston District for complete reanalysis of benefits, additional justification for water supply and other revisions considering current report criteria. Estimated cost of the project (1977) is $28,900,000 of which $6,263,000 is reimbursable for water supply under the Water Supply Act of 1958, and $2,538,000 for recreation. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) Local cooperation. The State of North Carolina and the Charleston District are currently in the coordination stage to acquire additional water supply justification and other State furnished data which will be needed to revise the General Design Memorandum Phase I. Operations and results during period. New work: Preliminary planning for advanced engineering and design is continuing. Engineering and design costs were $25,964; supervision and administration costs were $1,517. Condition as of September 30, 1978. No funds have been appropriated for FY 1979 and revision of the Phase I GDM will be rescheduled upon receipt of funding. 25.

These rivers are entirely within the State of Georgia. (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. 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. * 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 8-10 8-10 8-10 8-10 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 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: No hired labor snagging work was performed during fiscal year 1978. Miscellaneous cost during fiscal year amounted to $129. (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 final Environmental Statement appeared in the Federal Register October 21, 1977. To September 30,1978, costs under the existing project were $60,847 for new work and $1,817,574 for maintenance, of which $69,356 were contributed funds, a total of $1,878,421. (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 Division, Department of Natural Resources, 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. The low temperatures of the past winter resulted in the reduction of aquatic plant infestations. Cost during the fiscal year was $7,847. The draft Environmental Statement appeared in the Federal Register May 5, 1978. (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: A dredging contract was awarded on July 12, 1978 to remove 1,267,516 cubic yards of material from the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway by January 15, 1979. The contract pipeline dredge Arlington removed 148,000 cubic yards of material from the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway during the period from July 12, 1978 to September 30, 1978 at a total cost of $184,808. The government cost for condition and operation studies, water pollution and environmental studies amounted to $142,224. District overhead and other miscellaneous costs amounted to $6,895. Total cost for the fiscal year amounted to $333,927. (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 final Environmental Impact Statement was filed with CEQ on October 22, 1976. Cost of the existing completed project to September 30, 1978, were $763,599 for new work and $10,545,294 for maintenance, a total of $11,308,893. (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 Glynn 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. New Work: Phase I advanced engineering and design for modification of Brunswick Harbor was initiated and the cost for the fiscal year was $172,360. Maintenance: The U.

It flows southeast314 miles, forming the boundary line between the two states, and empties into the Atlantic Ocean 16.6 miles below Savannah, Ga. (See NOAA Charts 11514 and 11515, formerly Geological Survey maps of South Carolina and Georgia.) Previous project. For details see Annual Reports for 1915 and 1938. 8-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 Existing project. The authorized project provides for a channel 9 feet deep and 90 feet wide (at ordinary summer flow of 5,800 second-feet at Augusta, Ga.) from the upper end of Savannah Harbor to the head of navigation at Augusta, 3 miles above Fifth Street Bridge, a total distance of about 181 miles. A lock and dam is located approximately 15 miles below the upper limit of the project at New Savannah Bluff. Improvement is to be obtained by construction of contraction works, closure of cutoffs, bank protection, dredging, removal of snags, overhanging trees and wrecks, and open-river regulation. Mean tidal variation at the mouth of the river is 7 feet. Freshet variation above the normal pool level (elevation 114.5 mean sea level) of New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam at mile 187 is ordinarily about 13 feet with an extreme of 34 feet. Latest approved project cost estimate for providing a 9y foot channel (Sept. 1963) is $6,576,000 exclusive of amounts expended on previous projects. Recreation facilities at New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam cost $17,000. For further details see Annual Report for 1962. Local cooperation. Complied with to date. The City Council of Augusta, Ga., and the Georgia and South Carolina Ports Authorities have agreed to act as local assurer. Terminal facilities. The only water terminals served by this improvement are at Augusta, Sylvania, and at or near Savannah. Augusta provided a municipal dock valued at $50,000 and Georgia Ports Authority constructed a State port at Augusta, Ga., costing about $418,000. These facilities were expanded in 1965 at an additional cost of about $250,000. In addition, Swann Oil Company of Georgia maintains a terminal below Augusta and Allied Chemical Co. maintains a terminal at Sylvania. These are supplemented by natural landings along the river and extensive facilities at Savannah. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: Snagging operations performed by U.S. crane barge No. 2 with towboat Tomkins removed 3,634 snags during the period of November 11, 1977 through December 23,1977 and January 9, 1978 through August 25,1978 at a cost which amounted to $205,818.

TYBEE ISLAND, GA Location. Tybee Island is located directly south of Savannah River entrance, about 17 miles east of the City of Savannah, Georgia. (See NOAA Charts 11512, 11513 and 11509, formerly U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts Nos. 440,1240, and 1241, and on maps included in H. D. 92-105, 92d Cong.) The only portion of the island that has been developed is bounded on the north by the south channel of the Savannah River, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south and west by Tybee Creek and other small tidal streams. 8-6 SAVANNAH, GA, DISTRICT This area, hereinafter referred to as "Tybee Island," is occupied by the City of Tybee Island. The ocean face of this area has had a wide sandy beach. Tybee Island is about 3.5 miles long from its northerly tip to the mouth of Tybee Creek with an average width of about 0.5 mile. Behind the beach lies a line of sand dunes, a number of which have been removed during the years to make room for improvements and for various other reasons. Those that remain are from 10 to 20 feet high. The ground elevation west of the dunes is from 10 to 18 feet and slopes westward to the salt marsh. Existing project. The approved project plan of improvement provides for an 800-foot rock groin at the north end of the island, with a 225-foot tie-in to high ground. An additional 1,200-foot extension of this groin is deferred, as are two additional, intermediate groins (480 feet long); these will be added at a later date, if needed. The plan also provides for the initial restoration of approximately 13,300 feet of beach, from the vicinity of 18th Street to the new terminal groin located at the northern end of the island. Periodic nourishment will be provided as needed to maintain suitable beach dimensions. Local cooperation. Local interests must: (a) contribute in cash the required percentage of the first cost, including costs for construction, engineering, and design, and administration; and excluding the cost of lands, easements, rights-ofway; and relocations; of all items of work to be provided by the Corps of Engineers, presently estimated at 51.0 percent or $3,090,000 (FY 78 estimate) to be paid in a lump sum prior to start of construction or in installments prior to the start of pertinent work items in accordance with construction schedules as required by the Chief of Engineers, the final apportionment of cost to be made after the actual costs have been determined; (b) contribute in cash the required percentage of beach nourishment costs for the first 15 years of project life, now estimated at 51.0 percent of $207,670 annually, such nourishment costs for the first 3-year period of the project, estimated at $623,000, to be provided for advance nourishment at the time of first construction, and following contributions to be made prior to each nourishment operation; (c) provide maintenance and repair of the groins, and provide, after the first 15 years of project life, periodic nourishment of the restored beach as may be required to serve the intended purpose during the life of the project; (d) provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations required for construction and subsequent nourishment of the project; (e) hold and save the United States free from claims for damages that may result from construction, maintenance, and nourishment of the project; (f) control water pollution to the extent necessary to safeguard the health of bathers; and (g) provide without cost to the United States access and facilities necessary for realization of the public benefits upon which Federal participation is based, and maintain continued public use of the beach and administer it for public use during the life of the project; and provided further, that construction on the project shall not be started until local interests furnish lands for beach access and parking, satisfactory to the Chief of Engineers, for the reach from 1st Street to the terminal groin. To date, local cooperation is being provided as required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Federal cost of activities during the year amounted to $165,373 and no funds were expended from non-Federal contributions. (See Table 8- A for Cost and Financial Statement.) Condition at end of fiscal year. The final Environmental Impact Statement was filed with CEQ on November 13, 1973. A draft supplement to the Environmental Impact Statement was published in the Federal Register April 14, 1978. The initial construction contract for the terminal groin was awarded September 13, 1974 in the amountof $980,642. The groin was completed and formally accepted on June 17, 1975. The second contract, for initial beach fill and advance nourishment, was awarded June 18, 1975 in the amount of $2,175,000. This resulted in the placement of 2.3 million cubic yards of sand fill along the entire length (13,300 feet) of ocean beach front. The sand was removed by hydraulic pipeline dredge from a massive sand bar borrow area off the south end of Tybee Island. Completed in March 1976, the project provides approximately 124 feet of beach seaward of the seawall (accessible at average high tide), doubling the public beach area. Erosion has occurred along the beach front. Results of beach monitoring indicate a decreasing or stabilizing erosion rate. The southernmost section south of 13th Street has experienced the most critical erosion. However, the available beach surface for recreational purposes has increased since project completion. Total project cost is estimated to be $6,060,000, which includes $3,090,000 in non-Federal, contributed funds. Costs to date of existing project were $2,137,738 (Federal funds) and $2,024,856 (contributed funds). Flood Control 11. BROADWAY LAKE, ANDERSON COUNTY, S.C. Location. The Broadway Lake is located about 4 miles southeast of Anderson, South Carolina. It 8-7 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 is formed at the junction of Broadway Creek and Neals Creek in the headwaters of Rocky River, a tributary of the Savannah River. Existing project. The authorization provides for the Corps of Engineers to undertake a demonstration project for the removal of silt and aquatic growth from an existing lake known as Broadway Lake, owned by Anderson County, South Carolina. This lake has a surface area of about 1 square mile and a tributary area of about 44 square miles with an existing dam and concrete spillway. The spillway is 50 feet wide, about 19 feet high, and flanked by an earth embankment on the west side. The total length of the dam is about 610 feet. The National Dam Safety Inspection Program determined that the dam did not meet the safety criteria. Since the repairs of the dam, spillway, and low-level outlet are not within the authority of the demonstration project, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers will withhold implementation of the project pending repairs to the dam by State or local authorities. Local cooperation. Local interests have expressed a willingness to provide necessary easements, and rights-of-way for removal of silt and aquatic weeds, as well as provide lands for disposal areas. They will be required to hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction works other than damages due to the fault or negligence of the United States or its contractors. The United States should be relieved of any liability due to dam failure from construction activity in the lake. The local assurer is Anderson County. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was completed and the total cost of the project for the fiscal year was $7,781. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 12.

Total cost for the fiscal year amounted to $16,734,314. Total costs of the project to September 30, 1978 were $38,093,933. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 16. WEST POINT LAKE, CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER BASIN, GA AND AL The West Point Lake located on the Chattahoochee River, 2.8 miles upstream from West Point, Ga., was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1962 (H. D. 570, 87th Cong., 2d sess.). The project is being designed and constructed for flood control, power, recreation, fish and wildlife development and streamflow regulation for downstream navigation. It is being designed and constructed by Savannah District for Mobile District. For complete information see Mobile District. General Investigation 17. SURVEYS Fiscal year cost was $580,718, of which $1,143 was for navigation studies; $234,730 for flood control studies; and $344,845 for special studies. 18. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA Work was continued under the Flood Plain Management Services on the compilation of information on floods, potential flood damages, and identification of those areas subject to inundation. Fiscal year expenditures for these activities were as follows: Guides, Pamphlets, and Supporting Studies, $30,000; Flood Plain Management Services, $87,932, and Technical Services, $146,222. Flood Plain Management Services included responses to other Federal agencies to aide them in fulfilling the requirements of Executive Order 11988 (Management of Base Flood Area). The Expanded Flood Plain Information Study for the Upper Oconee River Basin was completed in late CY 1977. The study is the first of its kind for the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. The study is designed to define the hydrologic, economic, and environmental conditions existing in the Upper Oconee River Basin; to evaluate the effects of future changes, both on and off the flood plain, on the hydrologic, economic, and environmental conditions of the flood plains; and to make available to State and local officials a computerized planning tool that can evaluate the impact of any change in land use that might be proposed. During the latter part of FY 1978, the DeKalb County, Georgia, Flood Insurance Study was initiated. It is a 2-year study and involves the unincorporated areas of DeKalb County and two incorporated areas within the county, Clarkston and Pine Lake. Throughout FY 1978, the Flood Plain Management Services also conducted additional Flood Insurance Studies for the Federal Insurance Administration at a cost of $221,783. 19.

Collection and study of basic data ...................... Navigation 1. AMITE RIVER AND BAYOU MANCHAC, LA. Location. Bayou Manchac is a tributary of Amite River. Amite River has its origin in the State of Mississippi, and flows in a generally southerly direction about 170 miles to Lake Maurepas, La. Bayou Manchac has its origin in Iberville Parish, La., and flows eastwardly about 19 miles, discharging into Amite River about 36 miles above its mouth. (See National Ocean Survey (NOS) Coast Chart 11369; MRC alluvial valley map; and Springfield and Denham Springs quadrangles.) Previous projects. For details see page 939,1950 Annual Report. Existing project. Provides for a channel 60 feet wide and 7 feet deep at mean low water, from that depth in Lake Maurepas to Port Vincent, and for the removal of obstructions between that point and the bridge of the Louisiana Railway and Navigation Co. across Bayou Manchac. Normal range of tide in Amite River is 10 inches at mouth; 4 inches in Bayou Manchac, the extreme ranges being about 14 and 6 inches, respectively. A variation of water surface from 6 to 12 feet sometimes occurs in the upper Amite and Bayou Manchac, due to freshets. A rise of 30 inches in the lower Amite is sometimes caused by high winds. Terminal facilities. There is a small warehouse at Clio and one at Port Vincent, and a small wharf at Maurepas. In the upper reaches, where the banks are high, landings are made on the bank. The terminals are considered adequate for existing commerce. There are no wharves open to the public. Operations and results duringfiscal year. Work by hired labor consisted of reconnaissance surveys. Condition as of Sep. 30. The existing project was completed in 1928. 2. 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 11-2 Page 11-31 11-31 11-32 11-33 11-33 11-34 11-34 11-34 11-34 11-34 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT 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, Office of Public Works, and Louisiana Department of Wild Life and Fisheries 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, Department of Wild Life and Fisheries, continued against aquatic vegetation problems throughout the State. Water-hyacinth control requires maintenance work in all areas, and waterhyacinth 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 Department of Wild Life and Fisheries crews continued maintenance efforts in the major lakes and streams of north Louisiana, in the Atchafalaya Floodway, in the Louisiana portion of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, and the Pearl River Basin within Louisiana. During the fiscal year, 36,313 acres of water-hyacinths were destroyed in the State of Louisiana. Louisiana Department of Wild Life and Fisheries crews destroyed 26,100 acres and Corps of Engineers crews destroyed 10,213 acres primarily by herbicide treatment. Because of several adverse environmental effects, the alligatorweed flea beetle (agasicles) population was drastically reduced during the period and alligator weed vigor significantly increased. The stem boring moth (vogtia) continues to spread and is now found associated with alligatorweed in all locations. Submersed weed problems in Toledo Bend Reservoir have reached serious proportions and Caddo Lake is also experiencing interference with boating and fishing. Hydrilla verticillata, an introduced exotic submersed weed species, continues to spread along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and poses a threat to water-related activities. Condition as of Sep. 30. 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. 3. ATCHAFALAYA BAYOUS CHENE, BLACK, LA. RIVER AND BOEUF, AND 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 MRC alluvial maps, Morgan City, Belle Isle, and Point au Fer quadrangles, NOS Coast Charts 11351 and 11355 of Intracoastal Waterway, and Coast Chart 11354 for the 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 (October 1978) is $25,100,000 Federal and $1,970,000 non-Federal, including $700,000 contributed funds. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $13,000. 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, 11-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 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 Development 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. In addition, the provisions of Public Law 93-251 are applicable. 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. In an effort to expedite the project, local interests have accomplished the surveys, soil borings, testing, and the basic mapping at an estimated cost of $250,000, for which they will not be reimbursed. As a convenience to local interests and to avoid confusion in 25 percent and 75 percent acquisition cost, the New Orleans District agreed to acquire all lands, with local interests reimbursing the Government for their 25 percent portion. An escrow agreement has been executed between the local interests and the Government, whereby, they will advance funds in a sufficient amount to provide for their portion of the acquisition and diking cost. To date, $200,000 has been withdrawn from this account. Local interests have asked that the Government invoke the navigation servitude under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, thereby requiring pipeline owners to relocate their pipeline at no expense to local interests or the Government. 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. Hired labor forces continued activities, engineering studies, and investigations. Other work accomplished was removal of a pipeline bulkhead and associated work on the east side of Bayou Black channel. Two contracts continued from last fiscal year and were completed. Bayous Boeuf and Chene, stations 2+00 to 192+67, completed Jan. 18, 1978, and Bayou Black, stations 1+00 to 249+23 completed Jun. 22,1978, with a total of 13,927,219 cubic yards of material removed. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated on the Atchafalaya Bay and gulf reach in April 1974. The project is 52 percent complete. 4. 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 NOS Coast Chart 11351, MRC alluvial valley maps, Morgan City, Belle Isle, and Point au Fer quadrangles, and NOS Small-Craft Chart 11355 of Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Chart 11354 of the 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. 11-4 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued condition and operation studies, reconnaissance surveys, and water quality studies. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated in Fiscal Year 1911 and completed in Fiscal Year 1914. 5. 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 NOS Coast Charts 11352, 11340, and 11535 and Geological Survey quadrangles, Barataria, Bay Dogris, Wilkinson Bay, and Barataria Pass.) Previous project. For details see page 562 of Annual Report for 1963. Existing project. A channel about 37 miles long with a 12-foot depth and 125-foot width from its beginning at Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to Grand Isle, La., following route of previous project to mile 15.5 in Bayou St. Denis; thence by a relocated channel along western shore of Barataria Bay and through Barataria Pass to 12- foot-depth contour in the gulf, with an extension of project to include westerly 4.3 miles of Bayou Rigaud. 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. Hired labor continued condition and operation studies, stream gaging, and general engineering. A contract for maintenance dredging, mile 31.0 to mile -4.05 (not continuous) was initiated Aug. 18, 1978, and is 42 percent complete. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated in May 1960 and completed in November 1963. 6. BAYOU LAFOURCHE AND LAFOURCHE-JUMP WATERWAY, LA. Location. Prior to 1902, Bayou Lafourche was an outlet of Mississippi River, its head being at Donaldsonville, La., 80 miles above New Orleans. It flows southerly 107 miles to Gulf of Mexico. (See NOS Coast Charts 11340 and 11357; MRC 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 (October 1978) is $9,120,000 Federal and $5,160,000 non- Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $17,000. 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. 11-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 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 Office 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, Office of Public Works. Rights-of-way are not available due to multiplicity and other complications of ownership. The "Jump" portion of the project was classified as inactive on May 4, 1977. The Jefferson Parish Council and the Lafourche Parish Police Jury were requested to provide information as to whether they still favor construction on this part. If reactivation is favored, it should be with the understanding that they would have to provide required rights-ofway when requested. The Jefferson Parish Council favor reactivation but the Lafourche Parish Police Jury do not. The Greater Lafourche Port Commission stated they will provide assurances for that portion of the project located in Lafourche Parish. These assurances are currently being prepared and will be mailed to the Greater Lafourche Port Commission in December 1978. 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 real estate activities and stream gaging. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction of existing project was initiated in Fiscal Year 1939 and is 18 percent complete. Dredging between Larose, La., and Gulf of Mexico was completed in 1939, and that segment between Lockport and Napoleonville, La., is in an inactive status due to lack of right-of-way and spoil area. Jetties at mouth of Belle Pass were completed in 1939, and later damaged by storm action, which required placement of additional stone adjacent to both sides of steel sheet pile jetties in 1940, and repair and extension of jetties in 1941. During Fiscal Year 1948, stone jetties were repaired and extended inland about 700 feet from shoreline; and steel sheet pile section was strengthened for about 250 feet gulfward of stone jetties, by 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. 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. 7. 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. (See NOS Coast Charts 11340 and 11349; MRC alluvial valley maps; and Geological Survey maps.) Existing project. A navigable channel 51 miles long and 8 by 80 feet from 8-foot-depth contour in Vermilion Bay to Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, thence 9 by 100 feet to head of navigation (mile 52) at Lafayette, La. (fixed bridge at Louisiana State Highway 729, formerly State Highway 1092), with additional enlargement below Abbeville necessary to provide adequate capacity for 11-6 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT loodflows; improvement of Vermilion River from Lafayette, La., mile 52, to its junction with lower end of Ruth Canal, mile 57.2, by both widening and deepening to provide a channel 6 by 60 feet, mean gulf level, in order to provide adequate capacity for flood discharges from upper Vermilion River Basin, and also serve irrigation interests by conducting flow of Ruth Canal to lower Vermilion River during rice season. Clearing and enlargement of channel from Ruth Canal to Bayou Fusilier by both widening and deepening to provide a cross section about 50 percent larger than that of existing channel. This improvement is required in interest of flood control in upper Vermilion Basin. Enlargement of channel of Bayou Teche from its head in Bayou Courtableau to a point about 21 miles downstream thereof, by widening and deepening to provide a channel of 35-foot bottom width at minus 2 and minus 3, mean gulf level. Increasing height of Keystone Dam by 3 feet (later revised to 1.5 feet) by installation of a fixed crest spillway. (See individual report for Bayou Teche, La.) In connection with these improvements, the project also provides for replacement of an existing pontoon bridge at Woodlawn over Vermilion River with a verticallift structure and lengthening and strengthening approaches to five existing movable bridges over Vermilion River below Lafayette, La., located at Louisiana State Highway 43 at Perry, La.; Southern Pacific Railroad at Abbeville, La.; Louisiana State Highway 25 at Abbeville, La.; Milton, La.; and U. S. Highway 90 (Pinhook Bridge) just below Lafayette, La. Similar work on existing fixed spans over nonnavigable streams is provided for on 11 bridges over Bayou Vermilion above Lafayette, La., and three over upper Bayou Teche. New work completed in 1957 cost $2,891,922. Project was reclassified "Operation and Maintenance, General" under category, "Navigation (Locks, Dams, Reservoirs, and Canals)" by authority of Chief of Engineers, Apr. 23, 1956. Local cooperation. Fully complied with for new work. Terminal facilities. Privately-owned, publiclyoperated terminals are located on Bayou Teche at Franklin, Jeanerette, New Iberia, and Arnaudville. Other privately-owned boat landings are located at frequent intervals throughout the bayou and public landing is permitted without charge. Facilities on the Vermilion River include a public wharf and two privately-owned barge landing piers at Abbeville equipped for barge truck transfers of general commodities, seven landings for the transfer of petroleum products, and several private landings all along the waterway suitable for small craft. The Vermilion Sugar Company maintains a barge slip at its mill. Present facilities are adequate for existing commerce and there is ample space available for construction of more wharfage. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor forces continued condition and operation studies, stream gaging, and snagging and clearing above Lafayette, La. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction commenced March 1944 and was completed March 1957, when Keystone Dam was raised to provide an increase of 1.5 feet in pool elevation, in order to increase flow through Ruth Canal into Vermilion River. This work was accomplished under navigation improvement "Bayou Teche, La." 8. BAYOU TECHE, LA. Location. Has its source in Bayou Courtableau, in St. Landry Parish, flows southeasterly for 125 miles, and joins lower Atchafalaya River about 10.5 miles above Morgan City, La. (See NOS Sailing Chart 11340, and MRC alluvial valley maps, and Palmetto, Opelousas, Carencro, Arnaudville, St. Martinville, Loreauville, Derouen, Jeanerette, Foster, and Belle Isle quadrangles.) Previous projects. For details see page 569, 1963 Annual Report. Existing project.

Existing project. Provides for dredging a new 12- by 125-foot channel from Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 161.2 west of Harvey Lock, to 12- foot contour in Gulf of Mexico near Freshwater Bayou, construction of an 84- by 600-foot lock with a depth of 16 feet over sill near Gulf of Mexico; and construction of jetties from shoreline to 6-foot-depth contour in Gulf of Mexico, if maintenance dredging of channel without jetties proves to be more expensive than construction and maintenance of jetties. Until such determination has been made, offshore channel should be dredged and maintained to provide a 12- by 250-foot channel. In event jetties are provided, offshore section should then be 11-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 maintained to 12- by 125-foot project in jettied reach, and 250 feet beyond. Existing project was completed in 1968, except for construction of jetties at a later date, if necessary. Estimated cost of construction of jetties (July 1971) is $3,118,100. Estimated total Federal cost is $10,400,000 (1971) and the total non-Federal cost for the existing project is $171,000. In addition, the Coast Guard is to provide navigational aids at an estimated cost of $19,100. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Terminal facilities. Extensive public and private terminal and transfer facilities do not exist in area, and none would be required for improved channel. Private terminals exist at site of oil and gas operations in area and sufficient private and public wharf facilities are along Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and its connecting waterways. Sites are available along proposed improvement for construction of any additional private and public terminals that might be required for utilization of channel. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance by hired labor consisted of operation and major repairs to lock, condition and operation studies, reconnaissance surveys, water quality studies, and channel patrol. Contract maintenance dredging, mile 1.3 to mile 4.0, commenced Feb. 24, 1978, and was completed May 2, 1978, with a total of 1,217,409 cubic yards of material removed. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated April 1963 and completed August 1968, except for construction of jetties at a later date, if required to reduce the cost of maintenance dredging. 12.

Previous projects. For details see page 544 of 1963 Annual Report. Existing project. 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 $150,733,827 Federal and $26,031,000 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 (October 1978), $107,968,531 Federal and $21,596,000 non- $F2e0d,e1r0a5l,, 00in0c lundoinng- Fe$d68e,r4a0l0 ,0f0o0r Fmeoddeirfailc ataionnd (authorized by Public Law 87-874), October 1962, and $24,100,000 Federal and $91,005 non- Federal for replacement of Vermilion Lock. In addition, the Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $32,000. Construction of bulkheads and jetties at Lake 11-11 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 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-D 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 Office 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. They furnished formal assurances covering all requirements of local cooperation, including Public Law 91-611 and Public Law 91-646, on Mar. 19, 1975. These assurances were in the process of being accepted by the United States, when the Water Resources Development Act of 1976 was enacted authorizing the 110-foot-wide lock. The assurances were executed by the Police Jury on Dec. 6, 1976, and were accepted by the District Engineer on behalf of the United States on Feb. 8, 1977. The Acting Director of Real Estate for the Secretary of the Army approved the assurances on Jul. 5, 1977. 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. Maintenance by hired labor consisted of: Condition and operation studies, condition surveys, stream gaging, and channel patrol. Locks, bridges, and waterways were operated and maintained. Planning for a new lock, location changed from Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, to Industrial Canal continued. Hired labor work accomplished during the fiscal year was as follows: Fender systems were repaired at Algiers, Calcasieu, Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, and Vermilion Locks. Work by hired labor consisted of major repairs to the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock during the period Aug. 14 through Sep. 14, 1978. Bank stabilization at Calcasieu and Vermilion Locks was accomplished during the 11-12 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT fiscal year. Contract work for construction of a warehouse at Harvey Lock was initiated Apr. 10, 1978, and is 66 percent complete. Maintenance by contract: (1) Dredging under two contracts included removing 361,959 cubic. yards of shoal intermittently in Port Allen Lock forebay and below Bayou Sorrel Lock. (2) Two dredging contracts were completed on the Morgan City-Port Allen (alternate) Route. The Port Allen to Bayou Plaquemine Reach commenced on Oct. 18, 1977, and was completed on Jan. 23, 1978, with a total of 1,886,714 cubic yards of material removed. The Bayou Plaquemine to Bayou Sorrel Reach commenced on Feb. 16, and was completed Jul. 6, 1978, with a total of 926,510 cubic yards of material removed. (3) Dredge operations on the main stem GIWW, Barataria to Houma Reach, commenced Jul. 8, 1978, and are 8 percent complete. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated July 1929 and project, as modified, is 62 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. President Carter, as a result of his Review of Water Resource Projects in April 1977, changed the site of the proposed new shiplock to the Industrial Canal in Orleans Parish and recommended that the existing lock be replaced and expanded at the existing site. This is a new concept and requires reinstitution of General Design planning with attendant slips in the schedule components 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; NOS 11352 and 11340 Sailing Charts; and NOS 11357 and 11356 Small-Craft Charts on the Intracoastal Waterway. 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.

Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish lands and rights-of-way for maintenance of canal and for establishment and maintenance of aids to navigation; furnish suitable spoil-disposal areas; provide alterations to facilities; hold and save the United States free from damages; and maintain and operate all bridges under construction or to be constructed across the canal. Local interests (under Chief of 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 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 work consisted of reconnaissance surveys, stream gaging, and condition and operation studies.

(See NOS Coast Charts 11344 and 11349, NOS Small-Craft Chart 11348 on the Intracoastal Waterway, Geological Survey maps, Sweet Lake, Hog Bayou, Grand Lake West, Grand Lake East, Constance Bayou, 11-13 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 Forked Island, Pecan Island, and Abbeville Quadrangles.) 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. New work was completed in 1956. Estimated cost for new work (October 1978) is $5,060,000 Federal and $445,000 non- Federal, including $180,000 contributed funds. In addition, Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $51,000. 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 are 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 operation and maintenance of Schooner Bayou and Catfish Point Control Structures, condition and operation studies, reconnaissance surveys, channel patrol and water management studies. At Catfish Point, 2,400 tons of riprap were placed in area adjacent to middle section of structure during the period Apr. 10 through Apr. 30, 1978. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction of project began April 1947 and was completed July 1952. New work dredging was accomplished from April 1947 to June 1952. Catfish Point Control Structure was constructed from November 1948 to August 1951. Reservation comprises 9.7 acres. Schooner Bayou Lock and Control Structures: Schooner Bayou Lock and Dam were completed in 1913 and 1914, respectively, and the Lockmaster's house in 1917. Lock was closed to navigation May 7, 1951, and abandoned by authority of Chief of Engineers on Oct. 9, 1951. Permanent closure of lock channel and tie-in dikes was completed September 1951. Construction of control structures was accomplished from August 1949 to May 1951. Reservation comprises 6.9 acres. 15. MISSISSIPPI RIVER, BATON ROUGE TO GULF OF MEXICO, LA. Location. This reach of the river flows southeasterly through southeastern portion of Louisiana.

Estimated cost for new work (October 1978) is $384,000,000 Federal and $137,000,000 non- Federal. This does not include modification for Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, Michoud Canal, which is reported separately. Local cooperation. Original assurances furnished and accepted. Local agency has furnished Supplemental Assurance covering Public Law 91-646. Rights-of-entry for entire project were furnished by local agency which is in process of actively conveying to the United States title to remaining tracts. Supplemental assurances reflecting the changes made necessary by enactment of the Water Resources 11-16 NEW ORLEANS, LA., DISTRICT Development Act of 1976 were requested on Jan. 12, 1977. The Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, by letter dated Sep. 18, 1978, stated that they are unable to provide the required supplemental assurances at this time. They are concerned about the possible effects of the proposed new Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock on this project and pending legislation concerning local assurances for the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal project. Local interests have provided right of entry for construction for the Baptiste Collette Bayou portion of this project. Terminal facilities. The only facility on the waterway is the Public Bulk Terminal of New Orleans constructed by Board of Commissioners, Port of New Orleans, on left descending bank at mile 63. Two new-container ship berths have commenced operation at the Industrial Canal end of the seaway. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by hired labor: Engineering studies, surveys, and field investigations continued. Maintenance by hired labor: The dredge McFarland and hopper dredge Langfitt removed intermittently a total of 1,831,000 cubic yards of material from the Gulf Entrance Channel during the period Jan. 5 through Oct. 15, 1978. Two contracts were awarded for maintenance dredging as follows: Stations 2820+00 to 3430+00 (not continuous), commenced Jun.4, 1978, and is 64 percent complete, with a total of 3,864,324 cubic yards of material removed, and stations 1250+00 to 2680+00 (not continuous), initiated Sep. 11, 1978, with mobilization work accomplished. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated March 1958 and entire project is 21 percent complete. The channel was opened to navigation Jul. 25, 1963, and completed Jan. 20, 1968. Paris Road Bridge was opened to traffic Jul. 21, and completed Nov. 14, 1967. Approximately 3 miles of first- and second-lift stone dikes have been constructed on north side of channel and approximately 8.27 miles of first-lift and 7.34 miles of second-lift stone dikes have been constructed on south side of channel in Breton Sound. Principal work required to complete project is construction of new ship lock, raising and extending dikes, and construction of foreshore protection. The site for the lock remained the major problem. President Carter, as a result of his review of water resource projects in April 1977, changed the site for the proposed shiplock to the Industrial Canal in Orleans Parish and recommended that, if justified, the existing lock should be replaced and expanded in place and that care should be taken to minimize dislocation of residents living adjacent to the site. 17. MISSISSIPPI RIVER OUTLETS, VENICE, LA. Location. In the coastal marsh area and in the vicinity of the Mississippi River at about miles 10 to 11 above the Head of Passes. (See NOS Coast Chart 11361.)

Existing project. Removal of plants from navigable waters of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, so far as they 11-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 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 13,262 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 and Grand Lake areas, Bayou Penchant-Bayou Copasaw area, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, Bayou Lafourche, Bayou Lacassine, and Bayou Tecfie. Lower water levels in the Mississippi River and all along the coastal area combined with a colder than normal winter have allowed some additional areas to be placed in a maintenance status. The introduction of the water-hyacinth weevil (neachetina eichhorniae) has been made and populations are increasing. A large scale operations management test using the water-hyacinth weevil and the most promising plant pathogen (cercospora rodmanii) has begun and will be monitored for effectiveness of control. Condition as of Sep. 30. 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, and vegetation 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. 23. TANGIPAHOA RIVER, LA. Location. The river originates in the State of Mississippi and flows southerly to Lake Pontchartrain, La., about 119 miles.

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 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 11-25 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 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, mile 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 mile 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 (October 1978) is $80,900,000, which includes $29,900,000 to be reimbursed by water supply users over a 50-year period and $333,000 non-Federal. 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 from Delta, Lamar, Morris, nor Hunt Counties. Operations and results during fiscal year. Surveys, planning, real estate acquisition within the reservoir, and negotiations with cooperating agencies were continued by hired labor. Plans and specifications for the dam embankment were submitted to LMVD in March 1978 and approved in September 1978. Preparation of the plans and specifications for the controlled service spillway are scheduled to begin in December 1978. Condition as of Sep. 30.

Further, they anticipated that additional funding will be added in future years to enable them to have on hand the required funds at the time construction begins. Texas: On Dec. 17, 1969, the Governor of Texas furnished a statement of willingness to provide local cooperation for bank stabilization. A meeting was held in Austin, Tex., on Mar. 1, 1977, concerning sponsors of the Texas portion of the project. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of the waterway project and the type of organization needed to accomplish project assurances, the powers required by such an organization, and means by which such an organization may be established. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) stated that they would take the lead in obtaining an organization with the ability to provide the local cooperation requirements. An inquiry to the Executive Director, Texas Water Development Board requesting a status of the efforts to establish a sponsor was mailed on Jun. 28, 1977. To date, no response has been received. Terminal facilities. Adequate facilities are to be provided and maintained by local interests. Operations and results during fiscal year. Advanced engineering and design work was accomplished by hired labor forces. Preparation of Phase 1 of the GDM is approximately 33 percent complete. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction has not been initiated. 44. WALLACE LAKE, LA. Location.

Outlet works and uncontrolled spillway are centered about 1,250 feet north of south abutment. Reservoir controls 260 square miles, or about 20 percent of total drainage area of Bayou Pierre, Cypress Bayou, and tributaries combined, and affords protection against floods for an area of about 90,000 acres of valley below dam. Cost for new work completed in 1946 was $1,219,371, including $17,164 for Code 711. Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired labor work consisted of condition and operation studies, stream gaging, and operation and maintenance of the dam as required. (See Table 11-F for reservoir operations.) Condition as of Sep. 30. All construction work on project was completed in December 1946. Main portion of dam was constructed during Fiscal Year 1943; stabilization of railroad embankment was accomplished from June to November 1946; and placing of fill in closure section of dam was accomplished from November to December 1946. Recreational facilities at the lake were closed in May 1972. 45. WRIGHT PATMAN DAM AND LAKE, TEX. Location. On Sulphur River in Cass and Bowie Counties, Tex. Dam is 45 miles above mouth of Sulphur River, and about 8 miles southwest of Texarkana, Tex. Existing project. An earth-fill dam 18,500 feet long and 100 feet high, including a spillway 200 feet wide and outlet works with a capacity of 27,600 cubic feet per second. Reservoir controls runoff from 3,400 square miles of drainage area, and has a storage capacity of 2,654,300 acre-feet, of which 145,300 acre-feet are for conservation and remainder for flood control. Estimated cost for new work (October 1978) is $51,945,000 which includes $5,449,100 Code 711, $399,939 accelerated public works funds, and $13,138,004 to be reimbursed by local interests, over a period not to exceed 50 years, for water supply storage, and including $1,997,604 for pro rata share of original reservoir cost. 11-33 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1978 Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance by hired labor consisted of operation and maintenance of dam and reservoir area. Dewatering of the outlet structure was initiated Apr. 26 and completed Jun. 16, 1978. Maintenance by contract consisted of bituminous surfacing of roadways and parking areas. Work commenced Aug. 22, 1978, and is 60 percent complete. A contract for construction of two washhouses, Type B, Rocky Point area, was awarded May 31, 1978, but was not initiated. (See Table 11-F for reservoir operations.) Number of visitor-days of recreational use, 2,271,000 (Calendar Year 1977). Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated in August 1948 and completed in March 1962, except real estate activities, construction under Code 711, and conversion of 120,000 acrefeet to water supply storage after completion of Cooper Reservoir. 46. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS Inspection of completed flood control projects along the Red River from the northern boundary of the District to Alexandria, La., was included in the joint annual inspection with local interests during the months of September and October 1978. Flood-fight sectors included in this area are the Arkansas, Shreveport, and Middle Red which contain a total of 438 miles of levee. The Sulphur River sector which contains numerous relatively short and discontinuous levees along the Sulphur River was inspected in October by the Area Engineer. In addition, spot inspections of these projects were made at various times during the year on an as-needed basis. Fiscal year costs for the period were $71,765. Total costs to Sep. 30, 1978, were $459,311. 47. OTHER AUTHORIZED CONTROL PROJECTS FLOOD See Table 11-I. 48. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION See Table 11-J. General Investigations 49.

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 costs $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 100 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 Felsenthal Canal was deauthorized as of Aug. 5, 1977, in accordance with Section 12 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1974. 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 (1978) estimated cost for new work for 9-foot navigation project is $196,815,000, including $191,000,000 Federal and $5,815,000 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, disposal area, and the Calion access road and it is anticipated that the remaining rights-of-way will be furnished when needed. The city of Camden, Ark., has furnished land for the Sandy Beach recreation area. 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. A post authorization change report for development of port facilities on the Ouachita River near Crossett, Arkansas, is scheduled for completion in early FY 79. Planning and design for other features in the Jonesville and Columbia pools are continuing. Planning and design for Calion Lock and Dam is in progress. The Columbia and Jonesville Locks were in operation and a 9-foot channel from the mouth of Black River to Sterlington, La., was maintained. Construction of a slurry trench cutoff around the Felsenthal Lock and Dam site for dewatering during lock and dam construction was completed and work continued on the Calion access road and Sandy Beach recreation area at Camden. A contract was awarded for construction of Felsenthal Lock and Dam. Condition as of Sep. 30. The 6.5-foot project is complete and is being maintained.

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 (1978) of $154,600,000; (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 a cost of $59,720,600; and (4) by construction of a fixedcrest 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 (1978) is $218,673,600. A small boat harbor opposite Chester, Ill., was deauthorized 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 is complete. Maintenance. Work consisted of 12,570 feet of dike and 44,100 feet of revetment repair. U. S. plant and hired labor performed channel dredging at 35 locations, removing 4,462,600 cubic yards of material from main channel. Channels dredged had a combined length of 17 miles, an average width of 290 feet, and an average gain in depth of 4.7 feet. Condition and operation studies, recreation planning, engineering and design, and operation and maintenance of Lock and Dam 27 continued. Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction on existing project began in 1881 and project has been in beneficial use practically from its inception. Projects on Dam 27 and Chain of Rocks are complete. Work on the project is about 68 percent complete. Work required to complete the project includes construction of 145,380 linear feet of dikes; 149,280 linear feet of revetment; removal of 100,000 cubic yards of rock; and removal of 100,000 cubic yards by dredging. 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 4.16 feet for Fiscal Year 1977 and 13.62 feet for Fiscal Year 1978. 5. OTHER AUTHORIZED NAVIGATION PROJECTS See Table 14-C. 6. NAVIGATION WORK UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION Navigation activities pursuant to Sec. 107, Public Law 86-645, as amended (preauthorization).

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 (1978) is $3,000,000. 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 as of Sep. 30. Project constructed under authority of Flood Control Act of 1936 is complete.

ARMY 1978 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 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 (1978) of work under this authorization is $22,550,100. 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 $48,400,000 (1978), $23,100,000 for Cahokia Creek Dam, and $25,300,000 for Interior Flood Control. Non-Federal cost is $15,680,000. Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied with the requirements of local cooperation for work under the 1936 authorization.

(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.

Existing project is about 40 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 September 30, 1978.) 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) $67,824,515, including $456,515 for Port Aransas Breakwaters and exclusive of amount expended on previous projects; and non-Federal $18,033,068 (includes $768 for Port Aransas Breakwaters) including $7,577,840 contributed funds and value of useful work performed, $620,228 lands, $7,850,000 relocations and $1,985,000 other costs.

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 Phase I postauthorization studies of a 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); 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 flood 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 floodcontrol and allied purposes to determine the environmental impact of the proposed improvements on the main stem of the Arkansas River from Pueblo to Las 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. 17-2 ALBUQUERQUE, N.

Estimated total accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by project through FY 1978 were $1,234,200. Estimated irrigation benefits for FY 1978 were $223,000. Estimated total accumu- 17-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 lated irrigation benefits through FY 1978 were $7,078,000. Pool elevation at start of FY 1978 was 4,167.79 feet with corresponding storage of 115,775 acre-feet. Total releases for reporting period were 88,832 acre-feet. Releases of 61,384 acre-feet were made to Arch Hurley Conservancy District and 2,319 acre-feet to Bell Ranch. Pool elevation on September 30, 1978, was 4,158.84 feet with corresponding storage of 82,633 acre-feet. Sediment deposition during the fiscal year was 451 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. A cost sharing agreement between the Government and the State of New Mexico for additional Recreation Development at Conchas Lake was approved in August 1977. Costs of the facilities are 50 percent State of New Mexico and 50 percent Federal. Construction of these recreation facilities was initiated in FY 1978. The facilities are approximately 31 percent complete. 4. 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 c.f.s. through city. Levees are protected by flexible-type steel jetties. Four reaches of floodwalls about 100 feet long are 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, ponding areas, alterations to local roads and utilities. 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 60 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. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation). Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, the local sponsor, city of Dodge City, 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, 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 May 21, 1973, in compliance with Section 221, 1970 Flood Control Act and PL 91-646 Uniform Relocations Assistance Act of 1970. Operations and results during fiscal year. The project was completed for full operation in April 1977. Floodflows during fiscal year were minimal and no flood damages were prevented. Condition at end of fiscal year. Project construction was initiated by relocating railroad bridge and grade raise in late 1974. Construction of the channels, levees, and floodwalls began in April 1975 and was completed in April 1977. Federal cost was $6,286,064. Non-Federal cost was $1,030,000. Project features are in good condition and well maintained by local interests. No flood control damages have been prevented as of FY 1978. 5. EL PASO, TEX. Location.

Consists of a single-purpose flood control system of detention dams, diversion dikes, and channels to collect, regulate and discharge arroyo runoff into Rio Grande. Runoff from tributary arroyos on eastern, southern, and western slopes of adjacent Franklin Mountains often inundates sections of city and its outlying suburban developments. Project is divided into four independent elements: Northwest area, Central area, and two units (Copper System and Bluff Channel) in Southeast area. The project plan satisfies the 1933 U.S. and Mexico agreement on limited tributary discharge into the Rio Grande in El Paso, Texas. Estimated Federal cost is $51,600,000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local sponsor, the city of El Paso, 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 t' 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 $13,300,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Flood control dams in operation during FY 1978 and dates of completion of construction are as follows: Northgate and Range Dams (August 1973); Sunrise and Mountain Park Dams (August 1974); and Pershing Dam (March 1977). During FY 1978 floodflows and flood control storage were minimal and no flood damages were prevented. The estimated total flood damages prevented since completion of Northgate and Range Dams in 1973 through FY 1978 were $22,700. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is complete and construction continued in the Central Area with all elements completed or under construction except for the McKelligon-Fillmore-Van Buren Dams System. Construction of the Fort Bliss Diversion Channel was started in May 1977. The Central Area of the project is about 80 percent complete. The Phase II GDM for the Northwest Area of the project was completed in FY 1977 and design studies were continued for feature DM's and plans and specifications for the first increment of Northwest Area construction in FY 1978. Preconstruction planning for the Phase I GDM for the Southeast Area of the project will be initiated in FY 1979. 6. JOHN MARTIN RESERVOIR, 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.

Consists of a levee 9.3 miles long on south bank of Arkansas River and a levee about 1 mile long on north bank. Appur- 17-7 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 tenant works include levee protection measures; an interior drainage system consisting of outlet structures, ditches, and ponding areas; structure for irrigation canal; and stop-log structure where levee crosses railroad. Design flood is 140,000 c.f.s., which is equivalent to flood of record (June 1921) flood with peak drainage of 187,000 c.f.s., reduced by regulatory effect of Barrier Dam, (now replaced by Pueblo Dam) near Pueblo, Colo. Estimated Federal cost was $4,936,351. (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 furnished required local cooperation. Conservancy District has jurisdiction and power to levy taxes both in the city and in those areas outside city limits affected by the project. Prior to authorization of project, the Conservancy District pledged in writing that it favored project and would furnish required local cooperation. Estimated non-Federal cost is $150,000. Operations and results during fiscal year. Project completed. No flood control benefits accrued during FY 1978. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction contract for the project was awarded in January 1977 and was completed in 1978. 8. 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 outlet channel to the Dona Ana Drain and thence to Rio Grande by extension of the outlet channel. Reservoir capacity is 8,200 acre-feet at spillway crest. Controlled drainage area is 28.9 square miles. Estimated Federal cost is $4,745,- 000. (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. In addition to usual requirements, local sponsor, the city of Las Cruces, must alter existing improvements, other than railroads; prevent encroachment upon the outlet channel from Las Cruces Dam to Dona Ana Drain and from Dona Ana Drain to Rio Grande to maintain a 290 c.f.s. channel capacity; 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 $1,760,000. Local interests signed an agreement satisfying all requirements on December 15, 1972. 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. Although the dam was physically completed in May 1975, there were no flood control or accrued benefits during FY 1978. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the dam, outlet works, spillway, and portion of outlet channel on the project was initiated in June 1973 and completed in May 1975. The dam and channel portion are in good condition and in operation. Construction contract for the outlet channel extension was awarded in October 1977.

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 improve- 17-8 ALBUQUERQUE, N. MEX., DISTRICT ment consists of an earth and rock fill dam 1,950 feet long and 212 feet maximum height above the streambed. 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 lined tunnel with a terminal flip bucket energy dissipater. Storage capacity at the spillway crest is 449,000 acre-feet which includes 82,000 acre-feet sediment reserve, 200,- 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 2,434 square miles. Authorized project also includes modification of the existing Sumner Lake (formerly 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 acrefeet 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 Sumner Lake 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 Sumner Lake 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 $39,600,000. (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 contribute to operation and maintenance costs an annual amount equal to what they now pay toward Sumner Lake. Carlsbad Irrigation District also will be required to agree to use of Sumner Lake 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. The New Mexico Division of Parks to manage Los Esteros State Park. Activities include camping, picnicking, boating and hiking. 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 Reclamation, 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 Sumner Lake 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 October 18, 1974. Operations and results during fiscal year. Not applicable. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of Phase I portion of the access road, upstream river gaging station and installation of ground water observation wells have been completed. Construction contract fc.r the dam, outlet works, spillway, project operation area, overlook, and completion of the access road was awarded in June 1975. The contract work is about 85 percent complete. 10. 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 au- 17-9 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 thorized 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 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. 10A. ABIQUIU DAM, 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 17-11 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 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 fiscal year. Preconstruction planning for the Espanola Valley unit of the floodway is completed. The failure to obtain formal assurances resulted in the District reporting on November 2, 1972, funds available for construction to be excess. There were no flood damages prevented by the completed floodway project during FY 1978. Estimated total accumulated flood damages prevented by the floodway project through FY 1978 amounted to $1,355,900. The peak flow of the Rio Grande through the middle valley was 4,580 c.f.s. at Albuquerque on May 24, 1978. The peak at San Acacia was 1,820 c.f.s. on May 21, 1978. 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 July 18, 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.

(See Geological Survey Map, Santa Fe South and McClure Reservoir quadrangles, scale 1:24,000.) Existing project. The recommended plan is located in Santa Fe, capital of New Mexico. The city of Santa Fe is experiencing new growth and development throughout the city. The confluence of Arroyo Mascaras with the Santa Fe River is near the downtown area of Santa Fe. The authorized plan of improvement consists of both structural and nonstructural elements. The structural plan consists of (a) improvements on the Santa Fe River for flood control provided that no improvements be considered east of the existing Nichols Dam, (b) raising the Apartment Drive Bridge and replacing the College Street Bridge, both located within the urban area of Santa Fe, and (c) 1.2 miles of improved channel on Arroyo Mascaras. The nonstructural portion is to floodproof new properties in the 100-year floodway in two reaches as follows: (a) west city limits to Arroyo Mascaras and (b) Camino Cabre to Twomile Reservoir. Estimated Federal cost is $4,800,000. (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) Provide without cost to the United States 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; (3) administer, maintain and operate the works after completion in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; (4) make any alterations to existing improvements other than railroad bridges and approaches connected therewith, which may be required because of the construction works; (5) prevent encroachments in the existing Santa Fe River channel below any dam project and maintain a minimum channel capacity of 5,000 c.f.s.; (6) bear all costs of operation and maintenance of the flood control works presently estimated at $5,500 on an average annual basis; (7) adopt and enforce flood plain regulations appropriate to the nonstructural measures of the plan of improvement which, combined with the structural measures, would minimize damages to future development in the project area that would be inundated from a flood that could be expected to occur once in 100 years; (8) consider the adoption of flood plain regulations for areas other than those covered by the plan of improvement as necessary to assure compatibility between future developments within the flood plains and the protection afforded by the improvements; (9) publicize the flood plain information contained in a Flood Plain Information Report to be provided, and make it readily available to all interested persons; and (10) periodically inform all concerned in a manner satisfactory to the Secretary of the Army, that some flooding will continue to occur due to flows greater than design magnitude. (Estimated non-Federal cost is $440,000.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was initiated. 13. 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 dam 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 c.f.s. with water surface at top of flood control pool. Reservoir provides for storage of 51,000 acre-feet for 17-13 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 flood control, 39,000 acre-feet for sediment, 20,000 acre-feet irrigation, and 4,500 acre-feet for recreation, a total of 114,500 acre-feet. Reservoir controls a drainage area of 671 square miles and will be operated for flood and sediment control, irrigation, and recreation purposes. Estimated Federal cost is $49,420,000 (CE) and $160,000 (USBR). (See Table 17-B for authorizing legislation.) Local cooperation. Requirements based on approved general design memorandum studies and executed irrigation repayment contract: 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, but not to exceed $6,435,600, 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 not more than 19.82 percent of annual joint-use operation and maintenance costs and not more than 2.52 percent of major replacement costs; 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. 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.

BIG AND LITTLE SALLISAW CREEKS, OKLA. Location. About 3 miles southwest of Sallisaw, Sequoyah County, Okla., approximately 10 miles from the existing navigation sailing line upstream on Big Sallisaw Creek and Little Sallisaw Creek (about navigation mile 333). Existing project. Plan of improvement consists of a 9-foot-deep, 100-foot-wide navigation channel extending from near Sallisaw, Okla., to Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam and Reservoir and of a 400- by 500-foot turning basin. (See table 19-B for authorizing legislation.) Estimated cost is $1,- 640,000. Local cooperation. See section 2 of this report. Operations and results during fiscal year. Not applicable. Condition at end offiscal year. Preconstruction planning is underway. 2. McCLELLAN-KERR ARKANSAS RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM, ARK. AND OKLA. Location. Arkansas River rises in Rocky Mountains near Leadville, Colo., and flows southeastward 1,396 miles through Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to join Mississippi River 599 miles above Head of Passes, La. (See Geological Survey state maps, scale 1:500,- 000, and flood control and navigation maps of Mississippi River, Cairo, Ill., to Gulf of Mexico, 1970 edition, scale 1:62,500.) Existing project. Provides for improvement of Arkansas River Basin by construction of coordinated developments for navigation, hydroelectric power, flood control, water supply, water quality control, sediment control, recreation, and fish and wildlife propagation. McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System provides a channel 9 feet deep and 447.5 miles long, beginning at mouth of White River, which enters Mississippi River 599.0 miles above Head of Passes, La.; thence 10.0 miles upstream to mouth of Wild Goose Bayou; thence 9.0 miles by a land cut, designated as Arkansas Post Canal to mile 42.0 (1943 survey) on Arkansas River; thence 378.2 miles along channel of latter stream to mouth of Verdigris River at navigation mile 397.2; thence 50.3 miles up Verdigris River to head of navigation at Catoosa, Okla. Waterway is canalized throughout its length by 17 locks and dams with total lift of 420 feet. Dardanelle, Ozark-Jeta Taylor, Robert S. Kerr, and Webbers Falls are multiple-purpose projects including power. Lock chambers are 110 by 600 feet. A minimum channel width of 150 feet is provided for Verdigris River, 225 feet for Sans Bois, 250 feet for Arkansas River, and 300 feet for Arkansas Post Canal and White River. Other coordinated developments consist of 15 lakes, of which 13 are in Tulsa District, Kansas and Oklahoma, and two in Little Rock District, Arkansas. The authorized features of the multiple-purpose plan within the Tulsa District are listed in table 19-C. Federal costs for combined comprehensive and multiple-purpose plan total $1,312,000,000. Local cooperation. For the navigation system, local interest must provide adequate terminal and transfer facilities and bear increased cost of maintenance and operation of all altered rail and highway routes, including bridges and appurtenances, utilities, and other existing improvements, other than federally owned. For lakes see requirements for each individual lake. Terminal facilities. Public port facilities were in operation at Pine Bluff, Little Rock, and Fort Smith, Ark., and Muskogee and Catoosa (Tulsa), Okla. Port authorities have been organized to develop public facilities at North Little Rock, Dardanelle, Russellville, Clarksville, and Van Buren, Ark. Private commercial port facilities are complete and in operation at seven locations in Arkansas and at five locations in Oklahoma. Ten additional private port facilities are being developed along improved waterways in the State of Arkansas and one in Oklahoma. Operations and results during fiscal year.

Pittsburgh section extends 127 miles from head of river at Pittsburgh, Pa., to a point immediately upstream from New Martinsville, W. Va., and includes Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, New Cumberland, Pike Island and Hannibal locks and dams. Huntington section extends 311 miles from mile 127 to 438 immediately upstream from Foster, Ky., and includes Willow Island, Belleville, Racine, Gallipolis, Greenup and Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dams. Louisville section extends 543 miles from mile 438 to mouth of river, and includes Markland and McAlpine locks and dams (with Louisville and Portland Canal), Cannelton, Newburgh and Uniontown locks and dams and locks and dams 50 to 53 inclusive. The Nashville District has been assigned the design and construction of Smithland locks and dam located in the Louisville District. IMPROVEMENTS Navigation 1. Construction of locks and dams on Ohio River .................... Page 2. Open channel work, Ohio River 1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS ON OHIO RIVER Location. Ohio River is formed by junction of Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pa., and flows generally southwesterly for 981 miles to join Mississippi River near Cairo, Ill. For description of river see page 1227, 1932 Annual Report. Previous projects. For details see page 1907 of Annual Report for 1915. Existing project. Provides for improvement of entire river by construction of locks and dams to provide a channel depth of 9 feet and for widening Louisville and Portland Canal at Louisville, Ky. Project provides for a lock with usable dimensions of 110 by 600 feet at each of the dams and, in addition, an auxiliary lock 56 by 360 feet is available at Emsworth, Dashields, Montgomery, and McAlpine locks and dams with an auxiliary lock at Gallipolis being 110 by 360 feet. Dashields is a fixed dam, while Emsworth, Montgomery, and Gallipolis are fixed dams with movable crests. Remaining dams are movable type, with navigable pass varying in width from 600 to 1,248 feet. In addition to navigable pass, movable-type dams are also provided with one or more regulating weirs. At McAlpine locks and dam a canal (Louisville and Portland) extends along left bank for 2 miles, with locks at lower end. Modifications to existing project under purview of Section 6, March 3, 1909 Act, provide for fixed dams with movable crests with two locks (110 by 1,200 feet and 110 by 600 feet) at New Cumberland, Pike Island, Hannibal, Willow Island, Belleville, Racine, Greenup, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, Cannelton, Newburgh, and Uniontown, two locks 110 by 1,200 feet at Smithland, 110 by 1,200 foot temporary locks in addition to the existing locks at locks and dams 52 and 53, and reconstruction to provide a 110 by 1,200 foot lock in addition to existing locks and a fixed dam with two sections of movable crest at McAlpine locks and dam, widening Louisville and Portland Canal to 500 feet. Mound City was also considered authorized under purview of 1909 Act, and preconstruction planning was performed in the period 1965 to 1972. The ruling of the U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, on September 6, 1974, with reference to Lock and Dam 26, Mississippi River, would also apply to this project. Consequently, it is no longer considered authorized. Operation and care of locks and dams were included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. Estimated Federal cost of new work (existing project) (1978), exclusive of Gallipolis locks and dam reported under Kanawha River project is 22-1 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 1,644,671,992, estimated non-Federal cost is $15,- 586,000. Foregoing estimate does not include expenditures on previous projects. Various items previously included in this project are considered inactive or unnecessary and are excluded from foregoing cost estimate. See page 693, Annual Report, 1968 for items and estimated cost. Under authority of 1910 River and Harbor Act, Louisville and Portland Canal was widened to 200 feet; locks and dams 40 and 42 eliminated; locks and dams 1 and 2 replaced by Emsworth locks and dam; lock and dam 3 replaced by Dashields locks and dam; and locks and dams 4, 5, and 6 replaced by Montgomery locks and dam. Locks and dams 24, 25, and 26 were replaced by Gallipolis locks and dam authorized by August 30, 1935 Act, and constructed under project for improving lower Kanawha River. Locks and dams 7, 8, and 9 were replaced by New Cumberland locks and dam, locks and dams 10 and 11 were replaced by Pike Island locks and dam, locks and dams 12, 13, and 14 were replaced by Hannibal locks and dam, locks and dams 15, 16, and 17 were replaced by Willow Island locks and dam, locks and dams 18, 19, and 20 were replaced by Belleville locks and dam, locks and dams 21, 22, and 23 were replaced by Racine locks and dam, locks and dams 27, 28, 29, and 30 were replaced by Greenup locks and dam, locks and dams 31, 32, 33, and 34 were replaced by Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam, locks and dams 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39 were replaced by Markland locks and dam, the Louisville and Portland Canal widened to 500 feet, and locks and dams 43, 44 and 45 were replaced by Cannelton locks and dam, presently under construction, locks and dams 46 and 47 were replaced by Newburgh locks and dam presently under construction, locks and dams 48 and 49 were replaced by Uniontown locks and dam, presently under construction, as modifications to existing project under purview of Section 6, March 3, 1909 Act, reducing total number of structures to 21. Table 22-D contains data relative to various features of locks and dams included in existing project. For list of principal towns and cities along Ohio River with their mileage below Pittsburgh, Pa., see page 1060, 1962 Annual Report. See Table 22-C for licenses. Terminal facilities. Modern public terminals, with warehouses, equipped with operating machinery for transferring materials, have been constructed by private interests at some of the larger cities and towns. A list of terminals on Ohio River is revised annually and can be obtained from Division Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer Division, Ohio River, Cincinnati, Ohio. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work by contract and hired labor: Dashields locks and dam: All construction work complete. $2,523 was expended for recreation at completed project. Pike Island locks and dam: Level and grade fill at Indian Short Creek and equip and refurbish comfort station: $7,358. Hannibal locks and dam: All construction work complete. Total expenditure for new work during this period was $145,880, which included $48,000 for relocation and alteration of water pollution control plant in Wheeling, W. Va. and $30,803 for embayment fill at Steelton, W. Va. Willow Island locks and dam: Construction initiated in January 1967 is 95 percent complete. Contract for construction of locks, awarded in October 1978, is complete; contract for construction of the dam, awarded in December 1971, is complete. A contract for construction of recreation facilities at the abutment site was awarded September 30, 1978; engineering studies for remaining construction work continued; 7 tracts of land acquired, $578,163. Belleville locks and dam: Construction work complete except for additional recreation facilities under the completed projects program. Total expenditures during the period were $57,719. Racine locks and dam: Construction initiated in June 1964 is complete, $10,084. Gallipolis locks and dam: The existing project, constructed under project for improving lower Kanawha River, was placed in operation in August 1937. The dimensions of the existing lock chambers and poor approach conditions, particularly to downstream traffic, have created a higher than normal accident rate to the structure with corresponding hazards and delays to traffic. The Water Resources Development Act of 1976 authorized Phase I AE&D studies for a single 1,200 foot lock in a by-pass canal. A contract for developing procedures for system-wide environmental studies was awarded April 28, 1978. Waterways Experiment Station initiated hydraulic model studies in September 1977. Because of requirements for system-analysis for Gallipolis and other Ohio River Division navigation studies, basinwide economic analysis and waterway traffic forecasts have been undertaken. Informal workshop meetings have been held with the affected landowners on June 17, 1978 and with transportation interests on July 18, 1978. A meeting with the environmental interests was held on July 17, 1978. A formal public meeting was held on September 30, 1978. Funds in the amount of $1,219,450 were expended during the fiscal year. Greenup locks and dam: All major construction is complete except for additional recreation facilities under the completed projects program. 22-2 OHIO RIVER A contract for construction of a marina at Huntington, W. Va. under recreation at completed projects, awarded in June 1977, is complete. Total expenditures through the period were $99,743, of which $84,307 was for recreation at completed projects. Captain Anthony Meldahl locks and dam: All major construction is complete except for additional recreation facilities under the completed projects program. During the period $18,306 was expended under recreation at completed projects. Markland locks and dam: Project is complete. Congress authorized the design and construction of a public highway bridge across the navigation structure by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-605). The bridge and approach roads design and later construction has been accomplished by the Louisville District under the terms of a four-party contract with the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, the State of Indiana and the Commonwealth of Kentucky that required the latter three parties to be jointly responsible for the entire cost of the bridge and approach roads. Contract for construction of the bridge and roads awarded in July 1975 was completed except for minor items of work. Dedication was held September 16, 1978. McAlpine locks and dam: Project is complete except for alteration of lift section of railroad bridge that spans the upper end of the Louisville and Portland canal which work is presently deferred. Cannelton locks and dam: Project remained at 99 percent complete. Land acquisition complete except for continuing action on Declaration of Taking on one tract. Construction of dam and locks emergency gates was completed upon settlement of fire damage claim. Contract repairs to Indiana Highway 66 were completed. Engineering and design of remaining project features continued including further archeological investigations of a recreation site. Payment of $2,219,975 was received in August 1978 for settlement of damage to the dam caused by gasoline barge accident that occurred in April 1972. Repair of damages was billed out of the project, thereby resulting in costs of minus $1,912,360. Newburgh lokcs and dam: The Newburgh Bank Protection Works project was combined with the locks and dam project by the Water Resources Development Act of 1974. Project is 97 percent complete. Two contracts for grouting fixed weir, cells 5-18, and for construction of boat ramp, road and parking area at a recreation site were completed. New contract for replacement of the cable adjusting bolts on the dam tainter gates was awarded in June 1978 and advanced to 55 percent completion. Two contracts for boat ramp, road and parking at a recreation site, and for water and sewage facilities at an overlook site were awarded in August and September 1978, respectively. Engineering and design of remaining project features continued; $422,213. Uniontown locks and dam: Project is 96 percent complete. Land acquisition and boundary line marking continued and advanced to 92 and 93 percent completion, respectively. New contract for replacement of the cable adjusting bolts on the dam tainter gates was awarded in June 1978 and advnaced to 55 percent completion. Contract for dam tainter gates was awarded in June 1978 and advanced to 55 percent completion. Contract for of Uniontown's water treatment plant, and for stone protection downstream of the locks were awarded in June and July 1978 and advanced to 27 and 99 percent completion, respectively. Contract for landscaping overlook awarded in August 1978. Engineering and design of remaining project features continued; $864,354. Smithland locks and dam: Project is 87 percent complete. Land acquisition continued and advanced to 71 percent completion. Contract for seeding was completed. Contract for dam continued and advanced to 85 percent completion. Contract for remainder of dredging, awarded in September 1977, advanced to 53 percent completion. Two utility and one railroad relocation contracts were awarded in October 1977, May 1978 and January 1978, respectively. Engineering and design of remaining project features continued; $30,139,518. Lock and Dam No. 53 (Temporary Lock): Project is 92 percent complete. Contract for construction of the temporary lock including work at the old dam and channel dredging was advanced to 91 percent completion. Engineering and design related to construction continued: $3,589,365. 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 $5,284,465 for Pittsburgh District, $5,789,755 for Huntington District and $8,098,129 for Louisville District. Condition at end of fiscal year. Navigation system of 21 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 22-3 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 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, Willow Island, Belleville, Racine, Greenup, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, McAlpine, Cannelton, Newburgh and Uniontown replacement locks and dams are in operation, replacing 37 old low-lift locks and dams. Smithland locks and dam to replace locks and dams 50 and 51 was 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 400-600 feet; also to permit movement of large coal tows, which movement occurred at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was necessary which formed at various locations along river. Accomplishment of this purpose involved concentration of current by closing back channels at islands with low dams, contraction and straightening wide, open channels by low dikes, dredging bars and shoals, and removal of snags and wrecks. Incidental to direct improvement of Ohio River is construction and maintenance of ice piers as required for protection of river craft. Stage of extreme high water on Ohio River varies from 46 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). Estimated cost of new work (1960) is $16,160,000, exclusive of following items which are considered inactive: Ice piers authorized by 1927 River and Harbor Act; reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., authorized by 1930 River and Harbor Act; dredging to widen channel at certain points; and placing revetment at various 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 as may be deemed necessary in connection with the improvement at locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Cong., 2nd 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 condition, 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 $695,791. Dredging by hired labor: Huntington District 11,925 cubic yards at $36,760, and dredging by contract: Pittsburgh District 48,928 cubic yards at $194,732; Huntington District 632,500 cubic yards at $1,146,373; and Louisville District 1,319,810 cubic yards at $1,292,539. Louisville District awarded contract in June 1978 for bank stabilization work to protect Indiana State Highway 662 downstream of Newburgh locks and dam pursuant to language in committee reports for the Public Works for Water and Power Development and Energy Research Appropriation Bill for FY 1978. The work was advanced to 55 percent completion at a cost of $298,810. 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.

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 Kut- *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 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 tawa (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 power-generating 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 for 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 $177,566,900 (October 1978). (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 $135,278,900 (October 1978). 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. Under modified project for 9-foot navigation and multiple-purpose development, recreation features of reservoir components are subject to certain conditions of non-Federal cost-sharing under Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 1965. Terminal facilities. There are 43 terminals on the Cumberland River (1 municipally owned and open for public use; 5 government owned facilities and 37 privately owned facilities). A total of 22 terminals have railroad connections. Principal commodities handled are petroleum products, stone, sand, gravel, coal, coke, iron, steel, and chemicals. Sixteen terminals are set up to handle various types of commodities. Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. For further information see page 695 of Annual Report for 1969. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Below Nashville: A washhouse at Devils Elbow Recreation Area and water supply at Eureka Recreation Area are under construction at Barkley Project. Above Nashville: Construction of comfort station at Martha Gallatin and public use facilities at Drakes Creek Park at Old Hickory project essentially complete. Contract awarded for tailrace fishing platform at Cordell Hull powerhouse. Work accomplished by hired labor consisted of riprap and drainage work downstream next to power plant, paving roads and parking 23-2 NASHVILLE, TENN., DISTRICT areas and construction of boat launching ramp at Defeated Creek recreation area, and power line installed at Salt Lick Creek recreation area. The land acquisition program for the Cordell Hull Project is complete except for payment of deficiency judgments. Operation and Maintenance: Barkley, Cheatham, Cordell Hull, and Old Hickory locks and dams were operated as required. Operation and Maintenance improvements at Barkley includes sandblasting and painting poiree dam, provide jib crane upper land wall, miscellaneous dredging, snagging, and maintenance of mooring facilities and safety harbors. Work at Cheatham includes miscellaneous snagging and dredging. Contract awarded for shoreline protection old highway 12. Work at Old Hickory includes miscellaneous dredging, snagging, and unwatering and repairing lock gates. Total net energy generated at Barkley Dam (838,788,840 kw-hr) was made available through Department of the Interior to the Tennessee Valley Authority, Southern Illinois power Cooperative, Big Rivers Rural Electric Cooperative Corporation, and Indiana Statewide Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc., Hoosier Energy Division. Total net energy generated at Cheatham Dam (221,694,000 kw-hr), Cordell Hull (447,444,000 kw-hr) and Old Hickory (613,406,130 kw-hr) was made available for distribution. Power revenues were $1,706,000, $814,400, $2,109,300, and $1,532,600 respectively.

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 acrefeet 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 23-5 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 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 low-flow 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 $19,- 849,800 (October 1978). 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.

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. 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 and table 24-C for principal data concerning locks and darns.) 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 dis-" posed of in January 1975. Routine maintenance was performed. Maintenance item accomplished consisted of repairs to gate sills at lock and dam 3 on the Green River. Condition at end of fiscal year. Locks and dams 1 and 2, Green River, and lock and dam 1, Barren River, were in good condition. Lock and dam 3 and lock 4, Green River were in poor condition. Dam 4, Green River, failed May 24, 1965, when 120 feet washed out. Breach 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. River frequently rises to 35 feet high or more. Extreme height at lock 1 due to flood backwater from Ohio River is 60.3 feet, while extreme floods reach height of 47.6 feet at lock 4, and 35.5 feet at lock 14. At some intermediate locks extreme height of floods exceeds 40 feet. All flood heights refer to upper pool gages. Existing project was adopted by 1879 River and Harbor Act (H. Ex. Doc. 47, 45th Cong., 3d sess., and Annual Report, 1879, p. 1398). Operation and care of locks and dams were included in project July 1, 1935, under provisions of Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of June 26, 1934. 24-2 LOUISVILLE, KY., DISTRICT On December 19, 1976 the lock operation schedules for the Kentucky River system were changed as follows: locks 1 through 4 reduced to two shifts on a year-round basis; locks 5 through 10 to be open to both commercial traffic and recreational craft daily during the hours of 8:00 to 11:00 A.M.; 12 Noon to 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. local times; and locks 11 through 14 to be open to both commercial traffic and recreational craft five days a week, Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the hours of 10:00 to 11:00 A.M., 12 Noon to 4:00 PM., and 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. local times.

Federal Power Commission license No. 539, to Kentucky Utilities Co., at dam 7, Kentucky River, Annual charge, $4,708; total collections through September 30, 1977, $225,357. (Collection amount for Fiscal Year 1978 not available from Federal Power Commission.) Terminal facilities. Facilities for bulk commodities and gasoline are at various points and considered adequate for existing traffic. List appears on page 1110, Annual Report for 1962. (See table 24-E on locks and dams, Kentucky River, Ky.) Operations and results during fiscal year. Consisted of operation and maintenance of the 14 locks and dams, and removal of shoals, snags, and slides as required to maintain an adequate channel for existing traffic between mouth of river and Beattyville, Ky. in pool of dam No. 14. Maintenance items accomplished were repairs to dam, new guide wall and mooring cells at lock and dam 3. Repairs to lower lock gate at lock 11 and new upper guide wall at lock 10 were completed. Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was completed in 1917. Work accomplished was rehabilitation of the five old State locks and dams and construction of new locks & dams 6 to 14 inclusive. Canalization system of Kentucky River is in poor condition. Repairs were made to deteriorated locks and dams as required to keep locks in operation and maintain pool levels above dams except in extreme dry weather, when some pools fall below normal levels, details in Annual Reports for 1963, 1964 and 1965. Channel work was performed as required to relieve critical hardship conditions for existing river traffic. Controlling navigable depth in length of river covered by existing project was 6 feet at end of fiscal year. 4.

Existing project selected for construction under additional authorization for Ohio River Basin in 1946 Flood Control Act. Local cooperation. Local interests were to release necessary land under their control, give assurance that future channel encroachment below damsite would be prevented. For enlargement of reservoir to include a conservation pool, local interests would contribute one-half additional cost of such pool, including one-half cost of relocation of sanitary sewer, and agree to hold the United States free from damages resulting from its 24-21 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 provision. Board of county commissioners of Hamilton County, Ohio, adopted a resolution October 8,1947, signifying willingness to fulfill requirements including provision of conservation pool. Assurances were executed on same date. A contract with the United States for relocation of sanitary sewer outside reservoir area in order to include conservation pool in project was accepted by Hamilton County, in which the United States paid one-half cost of such relocation work. Hamilton County Commissioners furnished $50,000, required as a local contribution toward additional cost of providing conservation pool. Hamilton County Park District has undertaken development and management of recreation facilities in reservoir area for use of the public in accordance with license granted by Secretary of the Army on October 31, 1951. Contract for cost-shared recreation development under the completed projects program was executed by Board of Park Commissioners, Hamilton County Park District, Ohio in September 1975 and approved by the Chief of Engineers in December 1975. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Construction continued for additional cost-shared recreation development under the completed projects program.

Operation and maintenance, general: The reservoir was operated for flood control, as required, and necessary repairs were made to the structures and appurtenances. During the flood of March 1978, 3,300 acre-feet of water were stored in the lake, this resulted in a reduction of 0.1 feet on the Hocking River at Athens, Ohio. The project prevented flood damages estimated of $439,000 during the fiscal year. Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the project was initiated in March 1948 and completed in February 1950. The reservoir provides substantial protection to Sunday Creek Valley as well as serving as a unit of the coordinated reservoir system for the protection of the Hocking and Ohio River Valleys. The reservoir also provides an assured source of water supply to villages, industries, and coal mining operations in the Sunday Creek Valley. 37. TUG FORK VALLEY, KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA Location. The work covered by the project is located in the Tug Fork Basin. The Tug Fork and the Levisa Fork form the Big Sandy River at Louisa, Kentucky. Existing project. The existing project provides for a study to evaluate the potential for providing comprehensive flood protection to communities in the Tug Fork Valley by a combination of local protection works and residential flood proofing. The Tug Fork Valley covers an area of 1,555 square miles. The project was authorized for a Phase I General Design Memorandum by the Water Resources Development Act of 1974. The estimated Federal cost of new work will be determined during Phase I GDM studies. Local cooperation. Local interest will be advised of the assurance requirements, under Section 221 of the Public Law 91-611, at the time of formulation of specific projects. Operations and results during fiscal year. Alternative designs and preliminary hydraulic studies for formulation purposes were completed. Channel cutoff, downstream of Matewan, has proven to be far more effective in reducing flood heights at Matewan than indicated by 1970 studies. A contract for a flood damage survey for the entire valley was awarded in June 1977. A contract for a socioeconomic and land use analysis for the Valley was awarded in January 1978. As an interim measure, funds have been made available for selective snagging, clearing, and dredging of the Tug Fork and its tributaries through a cooperative agreement between the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Corps of Engineers. The actual work is being performed by construction contractors supervised by the Corps. Condition at end of fiscal year.

ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA. Location. 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. (See Tables 26-A, 26-B and 26-C for costs, authorizing legislation and statistics.) 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. Condition at end of fiscal 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. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND DAMS, OHIO RIVER See this heading under Ohio River portion. 3. MONONGAHELA RIVER, PA. AND W. VA. Location. Formed by junction of Tygart and West Fork Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, W. Va., and flows northerlyfor 128.7 miles to its junction with Allegheny River, forming Ohio River at Pittsburgh, Pa. (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. The existing locks and dam 3 were originally completed in 1907; major modifications were made in 1923 and 1924, and in 1926 the upper guard and guide walls were extended. This structure showed advanced stages of deterioration and, because of its strategic location and its importance to industry throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area and the nation, emergency remedial work had to be done in 1977. Major rehabilitation was approved and work started in June 1978, to be completed in about two years. Construction of Maxwell locks and dam and the reconstruction of dam 4 have allowed for removal of obsolete locks and dams 5 and 6. The proposed 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 was completed in 1967 replacing locks and dams 14 and 15. Completion of this 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. (See Tables 26-A, 26-B and 26-D for costs, authorizing legislation and statistics.) Local cooperation. None required. Terminal facilities. City of Pittsburgh constructed a modern wharf for freight. Boat landings are maintained by some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained for private use in loading and unloading 26-2 PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 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: Planning is continuing on Grays Landing lock and dam, to replace obsolete lock and dam 7, and on 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. Study for replacement of locks and dams for lower reach of river is being conducted as part of the continuing modernization program for the entire Monongahela River. Because of advanced stages of deterioration of Locks and Dam 3, extensive emergency remedial work was accomplished at this site. A major rehabilitation plan was approved to insure operation of the locks for another 15 to 20 years; tonnage figure for 1979 is expected to rise to 26 million. Contract for major rehabilitation was awarded June 15, 1978, $11,313,869; work to be completed in two years. Condition at end of fiscal year. A controlling depth of 9 feet is maintained for the entire length of river, varying in width from a minimum of 250 feet to full width of river at mouth. Major rehabilitation of Locks and Dam 3 about 3% complete at end of fiscal year. 4. OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO RIVER See this heading under Ohio River portion. 5. TYGART LAKE, W.VA. Location. On Tygart River in Taylor County, W.Va., about 22.7 miles above mouth of river at Fairmont, W.Va. It is 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, W.Va., and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa.

(See Table 26-A for project costs.) Public visitation to the project is approaching 1,000,000 recreation days annually and this upward trend in attendance indicates an increased demand for an upgrading and expansion of public facilities. Current estimate for construction of recreation facilities at completed project is $1,200,000. Local cooperation. None required. Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, general: Reservoir was operated for benefit of flood control and low water regulation, as required, and project structures were operated and maintained in a serviceable condition throughout the year. Estimated flood control benefits achieved by this reservoir for this period were $14,203,000. Total flood control benefits for this reservoir through September 30, 1978 are $185,221,000. Some reservoir management activity was continued comprising sanitation measures, real estate management, and operation and maintenance of public-use facilities. This work was limited in scope as State of West Virginia has jurisdiction over recreation in reservoir area. Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized project is complete. Reservoir is in operation for low water control in Monongahela River and for purpose of flood protection in Monongahela and Ohio Valleys. Construction of dam was started in 1935 and placed in operation in 1938. Land acquired for project consists of 2,662.9 acres in fee simple and flowage easements over 1,216.9 acres. 6.

Formal assurances of local cooperation will be requested after completion of the Phase II, General Design Memorandum. Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $384,115. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is in progress. Due to local concerns, a changed set of planning criteria, and potential changed conditions, a complete reformulation and reevaluation of alternatives is beingundertaken during preconstruction planning. 44. 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 2 miles east of 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 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 recreation 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. Additional lands and measures which may be required to offset or compensate for any fish and wildlife losses associated with project development have yet to be determined. Estimated Federal cost (1978) for new work is $20,400,000. 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 resolutions dated November 7, 1974 and September 19, 1978, 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 $723,368. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is in progress. 45. VERMILLION RIVER, HASTINGS, MINN. Location. In Dakota County and Hastings, Minnesota, on the Vermillion River, a tributary of the Mississippi River. (For general location, see Geological Survey map of Minnesota.) Existing project. Provides for improvements to portions of the existing channel, construction of 3,200-foot long floodwater bypass channel, modification of an existing mill dam, extension of 27-17 REPORT OF THE CHIEF ON ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1978 an existing levee, riprap protection of erodible river bank areas, and floodplain management. Total Federal costs (1977) for new work are estimated at $904,000. Project was approved by the Chief of Engineers for construction on January 20, 1975 under the authority contained in section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act, as amended. Local cooperation. See Annual Report for 1977 for requirements. A local assurance agreement required by Public Law 91-611 was adopted by the city of Hastings on February 22, 1977. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Channel and levee construction by contract cost $561,769. Engineering and design and supervision and administration costs were $43,930. Condition at end of fiscal year. A construction contract was awarded in August 1977. Construction is in progress. 46. WILD RICE RIVER-SOUTH BRANCH AND FELTON DITCH, MINN. Location. In Clay and Norman Counties in west-central 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 (1978) for new work is $4,290,000. 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. A local assurance agreement in accordance with Section 221 of the Flood Control Act of 1970 is expected to be executed by the Wild Rice Watershed District in October 1978. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $5,486. Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction planning is essentially complete. Rights-of-way must be obtained by local sponsor. 47. WINONA, MINN. Location. At 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 1971under 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, alteration of two highway bridges, and a sewer line modification. Earth levees averaging 10 feet in height total approximately 2.3 miles in length. Concrete floodwalls, also averaging about 10 feet in height, total about 7,500 feet in length. Estimated Federal cost (1978) for new work is $23,300,000 and $443,000 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. 27-18 ST. PAUL, MINN., DISTRICT For improvements authorized in 1971 see Annual Report for 1972 for requirements. A local cooperation agreement required under Section 221 of the 1970 Flood Control Act is expected to be executed by the city of Winona in October 1978. Operations and results during fiscal year. New work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a cost of $39,914. 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 essentially complete. 48. 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 period was $40,000. Total cost to September 30, 1978 was $327,224. 49.
