ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY 
WASHINGTON 
St 1981 
TO: THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND 
THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SUBJECT: Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers on 
Civil Works Activities for Fiscal Year 1985 
I am forwarding the Annual Report of the Chief of 
Engineers for Fiscal Year 1985 in accordance with 
Section 8 of the River and Harbor Act of 1888. 
Fiscal Year 1985 has been an important year for 
the Corps and the Nation. After practically no new 
construction starts since 1980, Congress enacted the 
Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1985, Public Law 
99-88, which included authorization and funding for 
start-up of construction of 41 projects. 
This year is also important in that it marked the 
beginning of a new era of cost sharing between the 
Federal government and local sponsors of water 
resource projects. The passage of Public Law 99-88 
makes funding for the new projects dependent upon the 
successful negotiation of cost sharing and financing 
agreements between the Corps and local sponsors.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 
Navigation 
1. 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 
provide technical assistance in the eradication or control 
of 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. (See Table 1-B at end of 
chapter for Acts authorizing existing program). 
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 during fiscal year. A contract study was 
performed to survey the six New England States to 
determine priorities and extent of specific needs for 
aquatic plant control. As a result of these surveys, we have 
received numerous verbal requests from state and local 
lake associations for more information on the Corps' 
Aquatic Plant Control Program. We have contacted the 
states to further explain the Corps' program, and are 
continuing to work closely with them. 
A report was also completed that presented a detailed 
evaluation of the codium fragile (Japanese green staghorn 
algae) problem at Vineyard Haven Harbor on Martha's 
Vineyard in Massachusetts at the request of the Town of 
Tisbury. A follow-up study was also completed for the 
Charles River Lake District in Waltham, Massachusetts. 
This study provided additional qualitative information on 
the surrounding watershed and the lakes district itself to 
assist in a long-range management program for the area. 
No cost-sharing programs for control operations were 
developed with any of the states during the fiscal year. 
2. BLACK ROCK HARBOR, CT 
Location. On north shore of Long Island, about 51 miles 
east of New York City. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 
12369). 
Existing project. Black Rock Harbor and Cedar Creek 
Channel, 18 feet deep and 100 to 200 feet wide from the 18 
foot contour in Black Rock Harbor to the heads of both 
branches of Cedar Creek, about 2.4 miles. (See Table 1-B at 
end of chapter for Act authorizing existing project). 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed 
portion of project; for Black Rock Harbor breakwaters and 
Burr and Cedar Creek anchorage there is no reasonable 
prospect that required cooperation will be forthcoming 
from local interests. For further details see Annual Report 
for 1968. 
Terminal facilities. There are 6 waterfront facilities 
serving Black Rock Harbor. Facilities are adequate for 
existing ,,nimerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: In conjunction 
with Field Verification Program, $22,180 was 
expended to extend existing lease of land. 
3. BUTTERMILK BAY CHANNEL, MA 
Location. Buzzards Bay, MA, is at the southern end of 
Cape Cod Canal. It is connected with Buttermilk Bay to 
the north by a natural channel branching from Cape Cod 
Canal and extending northerly past Butler Cove for a 
distance of 2 miles into Buttermilk Bay. (See National 
Ocean Survey Chart 13236). 
Existing project. Provides for a channel 100 feet wide 
and 7 feet deep at mean low water through the sand bar 
across the channel, to just above Taylor's Point, then a 
2,500 foot extension 6 feet deep and 80 feet wide to the site 
of a public marina to be built by the Town of Bourne and 
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 
Project except for channel extension was completed in 
1953. Construction of extension was completed in February 
1984. (See Table 1-B at end of chapter for Acts authorizing 
existing project). 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. There are no wharves bordering on 
the channel. The only facilities in Buttermilk Bay are 
small private piers for shallow-draft boats. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work and maintenance: 
Administrative closeout for the improvement 
dredging portion resulted in reduced contract cost. Final 
contract amount was $78,950. Hired labor costs of $29,895 
were incurred for condition surveys. Contract payment of 
$10,130 was incurred for the maintenance portion of the 
dredging contract completed last fiscal year. Final cost 
sharing adjustments were completed. 
4. CAPE COD CANAL, MA 
Location. This waterway is a sea level canal; extending 
from head of Buzzards Bay, MA, to a point on Cape Cod 
Bay about 15 miles southeast of Plymouth Harbor, MA. In 
general direction canal trends from Buzzards Bay easterly 
to Cape Cod Bay. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 
13246). 
Existing project. For description of existing project see 
Annual Report for 1975. (See Table 1-B at end of chapter 
for Acts authorizing existing project). Navigational 
improvements were completed in April 1963, with completion 
of East Boat Basin extension. Initial recreational 
development consists of public use facilities at various 
locations, which were completed in February 1965. Improvements 
to public use facilities at the East Boat Basin were 
completed in May 1974. Construction of public use facilities 
at Bourne Scenic Park were completed in May 1976. 
Canal is crossed by two high-level highway bridges and a 
vertical-lift railroad bridge. Initial major rehabilitation 
of Bourne Highway Bridge was completed in December 
1965. Minor rehabilitation of stone breakwater was 
completed in October 1963. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Local interests 
must also bear 50 percent of future recreational development 
in accordance with 1965 Federal Water Project 
Recreation Act.

of 1936, as amended, local flood protection works constructed 
with Federal funds are transferred to local 
interests to operate and maintain. To insure compliance 
with regulations prescribed for their operation and maintenance, 
regular inspections of the following projects were 
made during the fiscal year: 
CONNECTICUT: October 1984 and May 1985 - 
Ansonia, Danbury, Derby, East Hartford, Hartford, New 
London, Pawcatuck, Stamford; April 1985 - Colchester/

47. FLOOD CONTROL 
RESERVOIR OPERATIONS 
A coordinated system of reservoirs, many of which are 
multipurpose 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 floodflows, regulation of reservoirs 
is fully coordinated within each basin dependent 
upon upon its location in the watershed, its available 
storage capacity and origin of flood. In addition to flood 
control releases, water supply, flow augmentation and 
hydropower, releases were made from selected reservoirs. 
There were no freshwater flooding events in New England 
in FY 1985, hence no benefits associated with Corps' 
reservoirs were realized. 
Connecticut River Basin 
There was no significant flooding in the Connecticut 
River Basin; no appreciable storage was experienced at 
any of the Corps' reservoirs in the Basin during FY 1985. 
Regulation for canoe activities occurred at Ball Mountain 
and Townshend - October 1984 and May 1985; Otter 
Brook - March and April 1985; Knightville and Littleville 
- April 1985; Birch Hill and Tully - April 1985. Water 
supply and fisheries releases were made throughout the 
year from Colebrook Lake. 
A new hydropower plant began operation downstream 
of North Hartland in July 1985. This plant will essentially 
control discharges from North Hartland during non-flood 
periods for hydropower generation. A set of override 
controls is located in the North Hartland gatehouse, allowing 
the Corps to interrupt generating activities anytime it 
is considered necessary to regulate the project for flood 
control purposes. 
Merrimack River Basin 
Peak storages at all reservoirs in the Merrimack River 
Basin were insignificant because of the absence of any 
flooding in the basin during FY 1985. 
Releases from the Blackwater Dam were made in April 
to accommodate canoeists. 
Thames River Basin 
No appreciable storages were experienced at reservoirs 
in the Thames River Basin in FY 1985. 
East Brimfield and Westville were regulated in April to 
accommodate a combination river cleanup and canoe race 
in April; Mansfield Hollow was operated for canoe races in 
June and September and the West Thompson pool level 
was raised on several occasions for AKC retriever trials. 
There were no releases for flow augmentation from East 
Brimfield Lake during FY 1985. 
Housatonic River Basin 
There were no significant storages at any of the Corps' 
reservoirs in the Housatonic River Basin in FY 1985.

NEW ENGLAND DIVISION 
Blackstone River Basin 
No important flood control storages were experienced at 
West Hill Dam during FY 1985. 
48. HURRICANE BARRIER 
OPERATIONS 
Four hurricane barriers situated along the southern 
coast of New England protect coastal communities from 
tidal flooding associated with hurricanes or severe coastal 
storms. In addition, the Corps is presently constructing a 
hurricane protection project at New London, Connecticut. 
The Corps operates the navigational elements of the Stamford, 
Connecticut and New Bedford-Fairhaven, Massachusetts 
barriers. The Fox Point, Rhode Island and Pawcatuck, 
Connecticut barriers are operated by the local communities. 
A brief resume of operations for the fiscal year follows: 
Stamford Barrier. The barrier gates were operated on 
6 occasions for coastal storms and once for Hurricane 
Gloria in September. There were no benefits associated 
with the coastal storm operations; however, the barrier 
prevented $225,000 in damages during Hurricane Gloria. 
New Bedford-Fairhaven Barrier. The New Bedford- 
Fairhaven Barrier was operated 3 times for coastal storms 
and once during Hurricane Gloria. No damages were 
prevented as a result of the 3 coastal storm operations; 
however, $200,000 in benefits were realized as a result of 
the barrier operation during Hurricane Gloria in 
September. 
Fox Point.During FY 1985, the Fox Point Barrier was 
operated for Hurricane Gloria; benefits of $175,000 were 
experienced as a result of the operation during this event. 
New London. Although still under construction, the 
New London Hurricane Barrier prevented $25,000 in 
damages during Hurricane Gloria.

1. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL 
Location. Navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting 
channels, and other allied waters in New York District. 
Existing Project. Provides for control and progressive 
eradication of water-hyacinth, alligator-weed, Eurasian water 
milfoil, and other obnoxious aquatic plant growths, from the 
navigable waters, tributary streams, connecting channels, and 
other allied waters of the United States, in the combined interest 
of navigation, flood control, drainage, agriculture, fish 
and wildlife conservation, public health, and related purposes, 
including continued research for development of the most effective 
and economic control measures (See Table 2-B for 
Authorizing Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. Local interests must provide 30 percent 
of the cost of the program except as modified by 1962 
River and Harbor Act and agree to hold the United States free 
from damages. 
Operations and results during period. During the fourth 
year of a ten year control program for removal of nuisance 
aquatic plants in Lake Champlain, work was performed for 
removal of these plants in South Bay and St. Albans Bay at a 
cost of $126,000. 
Condition as of September 30. Reconnaissance report 
covering the aquatic plant problems of the North Atlantic 
Division area was completed in August 1967. Planning for the

below mean low water at the Battery, 2.4 feet at North Third 
Street, Brooklyn, and 3.8 feet at Throgs Neck up to about 5.2 
feet above mean high water at the Battery and 8.4 feet above 
mean high water at Throgs Neck; extreme fluctuations do not 
seriously affect navigation. 
Local cooperation. Resolutions of 1970 require local interests 
to furnish lands, easements and rights-of-way for construction 
and maintenance; hold the United States free from 
damages; provide and maintain depths in berthing areas and 
local access channels serving the terminals commensurate with 
project depth; provide upon transfer to the United States, a 
depth in the existing South Brother Island Channel and turning 
basin of not less than 30 feet; and establish regulations 
prohibiting discharge of untreated sewage, garbage, and other 
pollutants in the waters of the harbor, which shall be in accordance 
with regulations of Federal, State and local authorities 
responsible for pollution control. Assurances of local cooperation 
were furnished by the Port Authority of New York and 
New Jersey under date of April 9, 1974. 
Terminal facilities. See Port Series No. 5, revised 1978. 
Vol. 2. 
Operations and results during period. A contract for the 
removal and disposal of all material except ledge rock lying 
above the plane of 35 feet below mean low water in specified 
areas of the South Brother Island Channel, East River, N.Y.

Location. On south shore of Long Island between main 
body of island and western end of Long Beach. It is 10 miles 
east of Rockaway Inlet and about 27 miles by water south and 
east from the Battery, New York City. (See National Ocean 
Survey Chart 12352.) 
Existing project. A channel 12 feet deep at mean low water 
and 250 feet wide from 12-foot contour in Atlantic Ocean for 
about 0.6 mile to 12-foot contour in Long Beach Channel protected 
by a jetty. Mean tidal range, 4.3 feet; mean range of 
spring tides, 5.2 feet; irregular fluctuations due to wind and 
atmospheric pressure vary from 3.9 feet below mean low 
water up to 5.6 feet above mean high water. New work for 
completed project cost $603,969, including $100,000 contributed 
funds. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. Complied with. 
Terminal facilities. There are 39 terminals in Oceanside, 
Island Park, Long Beach, and East Rockaway. Nine of these 
are oil terminals, one of which has a railroad spur. Other terminals 
are repair and mooring docks with a berthage of 7,655 
feet. Of these, 21 have marine railways and 1 has mechanicalhandling 
facilities. There are public wharves at East 
Rockaway and Woodmere. Waterfront on northside of Long 
Beach has been bulkheaded. Facilities are considered adequate 
for existing commerce. 
Operations and results during period. A continuing contract 
for the removal and disposal of all material except ledge 
rock lying above the plane of 14 feet below mean low water in 
the Inlet was awarded June 28, 1985. Work commenced 
September 19, 1985 and was continuing at the end of the

NEW YORK, N.Y. DISTRICT 
Condition as of September 30. Work under existing project 
began February 1933 and is 100 percent complete. East 
jetty, 4,250 feet long, was completed in July 1934. Project 
channel was completed in May 1935. 
8. FIRE ISLAND TO JONES 
INLET, N.Y. 
Location. On south shore of Long Island, about 50 miles 
by water south and east of the Battery, New York City. Fire 
Island Inlet is the main entrance into Great South Bay from 
the Atlantic Ocean. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 
12352) 
Existing project. A jetty extending generally southwest 
and south for 5,000 feet from high ground on Democrat Point 
at the west end of Fire Island and a channel 18 feet deep and 
500 feet wide from a littoral reservoir (sediment trap) in the 
ocean to deep water in the inlet. Mean tidal ranges at the 
ocean and inlet ends of Democrat Point are 4.1 ft. and 2.4 ft. 
respectively. Irregular fluctuations due to wind and atmospheric 
pressure vary from 2.5 feet below mean low water 
up to 6.2 feet above mean high water on the ocean side. (See 
Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation). 
Local cooperation. Requires cost sharing and lands 
easements & rights-of-way. 
Terminal facilities. None within the area immediately adjacent 
to the Federal improvement. 
Operations and results during period. At the request of 
local interests, maintenance dredging was postponed in 1979 
until the completion of an Inlet Dymanic Study. The residents 
of Oak Beach contend that dredging the Inlet exposes Oak 
Beach to direct wave attack thereby causing an erosion problem. 
The Inlet Dynamic Study was completed in 1985 and a 
resumption of the project with provision for possible protection 
of Oak Beach if necessary is being studied. 
Condition as of September 30. Work under the existing 
project was commenced in late 1973. As a result of three consecutive 
dredging operations completed in 1977, the project 
channel was brought to the approximate authorized dimension 
at that time. No maintenance dredging was accomplished 
in the ensuing time period. Due to the aforementioned local 
concerns maintenance has been deferred since 1979 which has 
allowed the complete shoaling of the authorized channel.

low water plane from Troy to Albany is 3 feet below mean sea 
level. (See Table 2-C for features of lock and dam included in 
existing project.) New work for completed project cost 
$39,050,019 exclusive of amounts of expended on previous 
projects. Widening to form harbors at Albany and Troy, 
N.Y., to 12 feet deep at a cost of $552,000 (1954) and completion 
of 27-foot channel at Albany at a cost of $458,000 (1957) 
are inactive. Construction of dikes at a cost of $642,000 (1957) 
was placed in deferred for restudy category. All three features 
of work are excluded from foregoing description of existing 
project and cost estimate. Construction of mooring facilities 
has been authorized. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing Legislation.)

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
The lock and dam on the Hudson at Troy, N.Y. were 
operated and maintained. Operation of Lock for 1985 navigation 
season was suspended December 10, 1984 and resumed 
April 26, 1985. Cost incurred was $507,056 for Operation and 
Maintenance in FY1985. 
In Fiscal Year 1984, two contracts were let to determine the 
extent of deterioration and needed repairs to the Troy Lock 
and Dam. 
In Fiscal Year 1985, it was decided to defer the recommended 
concrete repairs to the dam and resurfacing of the lock pending 
completion of an ongoing investigation of concrete resurfacing 
surfaces by W.E.S. under R.E.M.R. program. Scopes 
of work for an interim repair program to ensure continual safe 
operation of the lock and dam will be prepared in Fiscal Year 
1986. 
Condition as of September 30. Work under existing project 
began in July 1910 and was substantially completed in 
November 1965. New lock and dam at Troy, removal of dam 
at Troy and construction of 15,545 linear feet of dikes also are 
complete. In reconstruction of old dikes 39,676 linear feet 
were raised to adopted crest height. Channel from New York 
City to Albany is complete to a depth of 32 feet except for the 
1,500 linear-foot section at the northern end of the 32-foot 
project which has never been dredged to project depth. Additionally, 
the 1,300 linear feet of the 27-foot project remains 
undredged. Channel from Albany to Waterford is complete to 
a depth of 14 feet except for a small part of the widening to 
form a harbor at Troy. Work remaining under the project 
consists of completion of the 12-foot harbor at Troy and 
dredging the 27-foot and the remainder of the 32-foot channels 
at Albany which are not deemed necessary at this time; 
and reconstruction of dikes. Started coordination with State 
regarding mooring facilities. (See Table 2-D for total costs of 
existing project to September 30, 1983.)

project was commenced June 1883 and was completed October 
1911. 
13. MORICHES INLET, N.Y. 
Location. On the south shore of Long Island, about 80 
miles by water east of the Battery, New York City. It is an 
opening through the narrow sandy barrier beach on the south 
shore of Long Island which separates the Atlantic Ocean from 
a series of interconnected bays. (See Coast and Geodetic 
Survey Chart 12352.) 
Existing project. Provides for a channel, 10 feet deep at 
mean low water and 200 feet wide extending from that depth 
in the Atlantic Ocean to Moriches Bay, a distance of 0.7 mile; 
thence a channel 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide to the Long 
Island Intracoastal Waterway, a distance of 1.1 miles; 
rehabilitation of the existing jetties and revetments. 
Estimate of cost for work is $10,000,000 (October 1985 
P.L.) including $50,000 from Coast Guard and $5,000,000 to 
be contributed by local interests. (See Table 2-B for Authorizing 
Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. In accordance with the project 
authorization, local interests are required to furnish all 
easements, rights-of-way including relocations that are 
necessary for improvements and operate and maintain the 
project at a cost sharing basis to be negotiated subsequent to 
the passage of Federal legislation. The annual Operations and 
Maintenance cost is estimated to be $1,810,000. Local interests 
have agreed to voluntarily pay 50% of the project cost 
but not less than that required by the project authorization 
presently estimated at $5,000,000. The New York State 
Department of Environmental Conservation, the local sponsor, 
in a January 6, 1983 letter, indicated its intent of comply 
with the items of local cooperation and reaffirmed this on 
November 8, 1985. 
Terminal facilities. No terminals are within the area immediately 
adjacent to the Federal improvement. However, 
numerous public and private terminal facilities are available 
in Moriches Bay and in the connecting canals. Several yacht 
clubs, boatyards, and public wharfs and landings, and 
numerous private landings are located in Moriches Bay. The 
yacht clubs and boatyards have equipment for servicing boats. 
There are boat basins open to the public. The facilities existing 
in the bay are considered adequate for present and probable 
future needs under present conditions of Moriches Inlet. 
There is room for expansion should future commerce warrant. 
Operations and results during period. Preconstruction 
planning resumed in October 1977. Coordination continued 
with Federal, State and local agencies on current problems 
and need for all project purposes (i.e. navigation; beach erosion 
control; water quality improvement). Formulated plans 
for single purpose navigation project.

York Bay, west of and adjoining the projecting arm of Sandy 
Hook, N.J. (See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 
Nos. 12327 and 12324.) 
Existing project. This provides for the construction of a 
continuous rubble-mound breakwater about 4,000 feet in 
length extending eastward from the New Jersey Central 
Railroad steamboat dock at Atlantic Highlands, N.J., and 
dredging of the area in its lee and seaward of the new pierhead 
line to a depth of 8 feet at mean low water. Mean range of 
tides, 4.6 feet; mean range of spring tides, 5.6 feet; irregular 
fluctuations due to wind conditions vary from 1 to 2 feet above 
or below the mean range. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with, except that local 
interests must furnish easements and rights-of-way necessary 
for subsequent maintenance as and when required. 
STerminal facilities. There are 3 piers with a total berthage 
of 1,330 feet, located along the waterfront at Atlantic 
Highlands westerly of and adjacent to the anchorage area. 
One of these terminals has railroad connections. Under the 
conditions of local cooperation, 5 boat basins with mooring 
stalls and servicing facilities for pleasure boats were constructed. 
The existing terminals will be sufficient for present 
needs. There is ample space for additional wharves and boat 
basins should future needs warrant their construction. 
Operations and results during period. A contract for the 
removal and satisfactory disposal of all material except ledge 
rock in Sandy Hook Bay at Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey 
was awarded January 30, 1985. Work commenced February

with the Atlantic Ocean. (See USCCT Chart 12352) 
Existing project. Provides for a channel 10 feet (mlw) and
2-12 
200 feet wide extending through the inlet to Shinnecock Bay 
for a distance of about 0.6 miles; thence a channel 6 feet deep 
and 100 feet wide to the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway, a 
distance of about 1 mile; rehabilitation of the existing jetties 
and revetments. Estimate of coast for work is $18,230,000 
(Oct 85 P.L.) including $130,000 from the Coast Guard and 
$6,600,000 to be contributed by local interests (see Table 2-3 
for Authorizing Legislation). 
Local cooperation. The share of local cooperation is 36.5 
percent of the initial coast and 38 percent of maintenance, 
operating and replacement costs (based on the cost sharing 
provisions of the 1960 R&H Act). The authorizing document 
also requires that local authorities: furnish, free of cost to the 
United States, all lands easements, rights-of-way, and suitable 
spoil-disposal areas for the initial work and for subsequent 
maintenance, when and as required; hold and save the United 
States free from damages due to the construction and 
maintenance of the project; provide and maintain suitable terminal 
facilities when and as required for the accommodation 
of vessels that would navigate the inlet and adjacent bays, 
open to all on equal terms; maintain, for the duration of the 
economic life of the project, continued public ownership of the 
publicly owned shores and their administration for public use, 
and continued availability for public use of the privately owned 
shores upon which a portion of the Federal share of the 
costs is based. The New York State Department of Environmental 
Conservation expressed their intent to provide 
required items of local cooperation by letter dated 7 
September 1983. 
Terminal Facilities. Shinnecock Bay, and adjacent ocean 
area, constitute an important marine fishery. It is part of the 
Long Island resort region, which affords recreation to 
thousands of people participating in fishing, pleasure boating, 
and bathing. Many hotels and tourists homes are located in 
the area, as well as yacht clubs, boat yards, public wharves 
and landings, and numerous private landings. Safe access to 
the ocean is necessary for commercial fishing and recreational 
craft.

Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 12324.) 
Previous Projects. For details see Annual Reports of 1915, 
1918, and 1938, pages 1778, 373, and 267, respectively. 
Existing project. A channel 12 feet deep and 300 feet wide, 
following the westerly shore, from deep water in Sandy Hook 
Bay 2.2 miles to a point 500 feet south of former location of 
railroad bridge at Highlands; then 9 feet deep and generally 
150 feet wide, suitably widened at bends and turns, in south 
branch of river 6.8 miles to Branchport Avenue Bridge in city 
of Long Branch; and a channel in north branch (Navesink R.) 
6 feet deep and 150 feet wide 6.1 miles from the junction to 
Red Bank. Plane of reference is mean low water. River and 
Harbor Act of 1965 modified existing project to include an in

NEW YORK, N.Y. DISTRICT 
let channel across base of Sandy Hook Peninsula between 
Spermaceti Dove and Island Beach connecting the Atlantic 
Ocean and Shrewsbury River. The ocean channel to be 15 
feet deep, 200 feet wide and 830 feet long protected by parallel 
jetties spaced 500 feet apart and through the land cut to be 
protected by bulkheads in extension of jetties; thence a bay 
channel 9 feet deep, 200 feet wide, and 2,860 feet long extending 
to existing Shrewsbury River channel. Plane of reference 
is mean low water. New inlet is to be spanned by a 6-lane fixed 
highway bridge with a vertical clearance of 35 feet above mean 
high water and a total length of 1,560 feet. Mean range of tide 
at Highlands, 3.8 feet; at Seabright, 1.7 feet; at Branchport; 
1.7 feet; and at Red Bank, 3 feet. Mean range of spring tides 
is 4.7, 2.1, 2.2, and 3.6 feet, respectively. Irregular fluctuations 
due to wind and atmospheric pressure vary from 1.9 feet 
below mean low water up to 6.5 feet above mean high water. 
Estimate of cost for new work is $12,946,000 (July 1971) including 
$6,200,000 to be contributed and $36,000 
already contributed by local interests and exclusive of 
amounts expended on previous projects. This work was 
reclassified to Inactive in December 1973 because of state and 
local opposition. Dredging turning basin and anchorage in 
vicinity of Red Bank, 6 feet deep and about 19 acres in area; a 
channel in Claypit Creek, 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide about 
1 mile from 6-foot curve in north branch to head of the creek; 
a channel in Oceanport Creek, 6 feet deep, 100 feet wide and 
2 miles long from channel in south branch to New York and 
Long Branch Railroad Bridge; and a channel in Little Silver 
Creek, 6 feet deep, 100 feet wide, and 1.6 miles long from 
channel in south branch to Seven Bridge Road Bridge is also 
inactive and excluded from foregoing description and cost 
estimate. Cost estimate for this portion (1960) is $578,000 exclusive 
of $86,000 to be contributed by local interests. (See 
Table 2-B for Authorization Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1950 provides 
local interests furnish lands, rights-of-way, and spoildisposal 
areas for construction and future maintenance; hold 
the United States free from damages; provide and maintain a 
suitable public wharf on each of the creeks to be improved, 
which shall be open to all on equal terms; remove Locust 
Avenue bridge over Claypit Creek; and make cash contributions 
of $25,000, $33,000, and $27,500 toward cost of improvement 
of Claypit, Oceanport, and Little Silver Creeks, 
respectively. Provided further that construction of any unit of 
proposed improvement may be undertaken independently of 
the other units when the required local cooperation has been 
provided. These conditions have not been fulfilled. Requirements 
under prior acts have been fully complied with. 
River and Harbor Act of 1965 provides that local interests furnish 
lands, rights-of-way outside of the Federally owned lands, 
for construction and future maintenance and for aids to 
navigation and future maintenance and for aids to navigation 
upon request of the Chief of Engineers, including suitable 
spoil-disposal areas, and necessary retaining dikes, bulkheads, 
and embankments therefore or the costs of such retaining 
works; hold the United States free from damages; assume all 
obligations of owning, operating and maintaining highway 
bridge, with such obligations to be assumed by local interests 
upon final completion of its construction; assign to a competent 
and properly constituted public body the power to 
regulate the use, growth, and free development of adequate 
boating facilities in the area to be served by the inlet, with the 
understanding that such facilities will be open to all equally;
2-13 
and provide, maintain, and operate necessary mooring and 
terminal facilities and utilities including an adequate public 
landing or wharf with provisions for the sale of motor fuel, 
lubricants and potable water, available to all equally. Requirements 
under 1965 River and Harbor Act have not been 
complied with. 
Terminal facilities. There are 33 terminals with a total 
berthage of 7,986 feet on the waterway. Eight terminals with a 
total berthage of 1,000 feet are open to the public. In addition, 
many private pleasure boat landings have been constructed by 
owners of riverfront estates. Fifteen boatyards with storage 
space for 670 craft and equipped with 21 marine railways are 
available. None of the terminals has direct rail connections. 
Facilities considered adequate for existing commerce. 
Operations and results during period. A continuing contract 
was awarded September 6, 1985 for removal and disposal 
of all material except ledge rock lying above the planes of 9 
and 6 feet below mean low water in specified areas of the 
Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers. Expended $79,472 for 
engineering and design of maintenance dredging specifications. 
Contractor will commence dredging in Fiscal Year 
1986. 
Condition as of September 30. Work under the active 
portion of existing project began in October 1919 and is about 
10 percent complete. Work completed consisted of providing 
authorized project dimensions in 12-foot entrance channel, 
9-foot channel in South Branch, and a 6-foot channel in North 
Branch of the river. Work remaining under the existing project 
consists of dredging an inlet channel across the base f 
Sandy Hook protected by jetties and bulkheads, a bay channel 
extending to the existing Shrewsbury River Channel and a 
six-lane fixed highway bridge to span the new inlet as 
authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1965. Preconstruction 
planning (advance engineering and design) for work 
under this Act is about 50 percent complete. Planning included 
a physical model study, which was completed. The remaining 
work was subsequently reclassified to inactive because of 
state and local opposition. Close out report underway. Formal 
close out of this work remains. Under the River and Harbor 
Act of 1950 work remaining consists of dredging turning basin 
and anchorage in vicinity of Red Bank and channels in 
Claypit, Oceanport, and Little Silver Creeks. 
24. 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 River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894 
(33 U.S.C. 452) 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, 307, 409) pro

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
hibits obstructions to navigable waters such as unauthorized 
structures, unauthorized fill, deposit of refuse, and willful or 
negligent abandonment of vessels. Other laws relating to the 
supervision of New York Harbor and its tributary waters are 
the Clean Water Act, the Marine Protection, Research and 
Sanctuaries Act of 1972, the Coastal Zone Management Act 
of 1969, the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, the Federal Power 
Act of 1920, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, 
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Deepwater Port Act 
of 1972, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and the Land and 
Water Conservation Fund Act. 
Direct supervision of the waters under jurisdiction of the 
New York District was accomplished by means of two patrol 
vessels whose scope of duty includes surveillance of the waterfront 
for unauthorized construction or fill, surveillance to the 
3-mile limit of tows enroute to dumping grounds in the Atlantic 
Ocean to ensure that material is not illegally desposited in 
the waters of New York Harbor, and investigation of wrecks 
and abandoned vessels. In addition to the patrol vessels, 
whose range of patrol was limited to New York Harbor, inspectors 
utilizing government vehicles equipped with two-way 
radios patrolled shorefront facilities and property. These inspectors 
operate out of field offices located at Riverhead, New 
York and one inspector working at the New York District Office. 
Their duties include inspection of authorized construction, 
fill or excavation in waterways, including wetland areas, 
to ensure that work is performed in accordance with the Corps 
permit. The inspectors also patrol all waterways in their 
respective areas and inform the public of the Corps role and 
jurisdiction as well as provide assistance in the preparation of 
permit application. (See Table 2-E at end of chapter.)

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 first cost and periodic beach nourishment, the total 
estimated at $25,600,000 (Oct. 1985 P.L.) 
Local cooperation. Local interests must provide lands and 
rights-of-way, including borrow areas; bear 50 percent of total 
first cost presently estimated at $25,600,000 consisting of a 
cash contribution of $8,800,000 the final apportionment of 
cost to be made after actual costs and values have been determined 
and $16,800,000 for periodic nourishment, 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 Secretary of Army May 21, 1974. On May 22, 
1974 sent to State an approved Escrow Agreement. 
Operations and results during period. Periodic Nourishment

completed in August 1984. Periodic nourishment contract 
No. 4 is scheduled to awarded in May 1986. Completion of 
10-year periodic nourishment remains. 
29. SEA BRIGHT TO OCEAN 
TOWNSHIP, N.J. 
Location. That portion of the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey 
in Moumouth County extending from Sea Bright southerly to 
Ocean Township - length about 12 miles. Sea Bright is about 
30 miles by water south of the Battery, New York City. Erosion 
has seriously reduced the width of most beaches in the 
study area with consequent exposure of the shore to storm 
damage. Because of this erosion of the shore the area does not 
provide sufficient recreational beaches for the proper accommodation 
of the present and prospective tributary population. 
Existing project. Provides for Federal participation in the 
restoration and protection of the shore from Sea Bright to 
Ocean Township by artificial placement of sand to widen the 
2-14

NEW YORK, N.Y. DISTRICT 
beach to a minimum width of 100 feet at an elevation of 10 feet 
above mean low water and by the construction of 23 new 
groins and the extension of 14 existing groins in the Sea 
Bright-Ocean Township section. The project provides for 
Federal participation in periodic nourishment costs for a 
period of 10 years from the year that the total quantity of fill 
placed has equaled that required to restore the beach to project 
dimensions in that section. Total estimated Federal cost is 
$86,200,000. Total estimated non-Federal for all requirements 
of local cooperation is $11,500,000. (See Table 
2-B for Authorizing Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. Reconstruction of the seawall at Sea 
Bright and Monmouth was funded by the State. In addition 
the State provided funds in the amount of $100,000 for a 
limited analysis by the New York District with a view to deferring 
certain construction elements. 
Operations and results during period, and Condition as 
of September 30. Construction has not been initiated, but the 
project is in an active status. No environmental impact statement 
was prepared.

Flood Control 
32. ARDSLEY, N.Y. 
Location. The Village of Ardsley in Westchester County, 
New York is located on the Saw Mill River approximately 5 
miles upstream from its junction with the Hudson River. (See 
U.S. Geological Survey Map, White Plains, N.Y.) 
Existing project. The Federal flood control project provides 
for relocation of the existing channel from the upstream 
limit of the project downstream for approximately 1,000 feet, 
and approximately 290 feet of concrete channel upstream of 
the new Ashford Avenue Bridge. Upstream of the concrete 
channel along the left bank of the Saw Mill River, 425 feet of 
floodwall will be constructed along the modified channel with 
an additional 400 feet of closure wall. Between the Conrail 
Bridge and the New York State Thruway, a total of 230 feet of 
floodwall will be constructed on the right bank. A 325 foot 
closure levee is to be constructed running north of the Conrail 
Bridge. Ponding areas, drainage ditches and other drainage 
structures will be provided. The total estimated Federal cost 
for the project is $4,430,000 exclusive of land, relocations and 
other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated 
cost of $l,470,000 (October 1985 P.L.) 
Local cooperation. In accordance with cost sharing and 
financing concepts reflected in S.1567, local interests are required 
to furnish all lands, easements and rights-of-way including 
relocations that are necessary for flood control improvements 
presently estimated at $860,000 and operate and 
maintain the project at an estimated cost of $27,000; interests 
have agreed to voluntarily pay 25 percent of the costs allocated 
to flood control for a total cost of $1,470,000 project cost but 
not less than that required by project authorization presently 
estimated at $1,470,000. The New York State Department of 
Environmental Conservation, the local sponsor, in an 11 
December 1973 letter, indicated its intent to comply with the 
items of local cooperation and reaffirmed this on 15 August 
1979 and 23 August 1985. The State of New York, in a 18 October 
1985 letter, expressed this willingness to assume responsibility 
as local sponsor in accordance with the Cost Sharing 
and financing concepts agreed to by the Administration and 
Senator Majority Leadership Compromise as reflected in 
S.1567. 
Operation and results during period. Preconstruction 
planning continued. 
Condition as of September 30. Plan of Study approved in 
March 1979. Construction has not been initiated. 
33. ELIZABETH, N.J. 
Location. In city of Elizabeth, N.J. (Union County), extending

34. LIBERTY STATE PARK 
LEVEE AND SEAWALL, N.J. 
Location. At Liberty Pa:k, in Jersey City, Hudson County, 
New Jersey, directly behind Ellis Island and the Statue of 
Liberty, in Upper New York Bay (see Coast chart 12334) 
Existing project. Construction of a levee, seawall, and 
walkways; rehabilitation of certain existing structures; landscaping 
with trees and shrubbery; and a boat basin and 
marina. The construction of the levee project will allow the 
creation of a large Greenpark to include a wetlands preserve, 
an inland watercourse and boatbasin, a marina, an ampitheater, 
indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, picnic 
areas, historic areas, community facilities, restaurants, plazas 
and many other areas for both active and passive recreational 
and aesthetic benefit to visitors. The stone armored levee will 
also serve as a settlement-free base for subsequent construction 
of a tree-lined promenade, the Liberty walk, curving 
along the water's edge. The Federal cost of construction is 
estimated at $19,000,000; with an additional $19,000,000 
contribution by local interests including lands, certain relocations, 
utilities, and interior drainage. 
Local Cooperation. In accordance with the project 
authorization, local interests are required to furnish all lands 
easements and rights of way including relocations, save those 
existing utilities passing through the proposed levee, necessary 
for the flood control improvements and to operate and maintain 
the project at an annual cost estimated to total $55,000. 
The State will assume all costs for construction of an interior 
drainage system to provide a ten (10) year level of protection 
estimated to be $5,000,000. Local interests have agreed to 
voluntary pay 50% of project cost. The New Jersey Department 
of Environmental Protection, the local sponsor, has indicated 
its willingness to comply with items of local cooperation 
in a letter dated 28 October 1985. In relation to the provision 
for cost sharing, they have indicated that they would 
negotiate this item subsequent to the passage of appropriate 
legislation. 
Operations and results during period, and Conditions 
as of September 30. Phase I is completed. The District has 
completed their review of 90% (and final) contract documents 
for seawall (Area 2) and walkways (Areas 3 and 4) contracts. 
35. PASSAIC RIVER BASIN, 
N.J. & N.Y. 
Location. The Passaic River Basin, comprising 787 square 
miles in northeastern New Jersey and 148 square miles in 
southern New York State, is located in the greater New York 
City Metropolitan area. The Passaic River Basin is roughly 
elliptical in shape 26 miles long and 56 miles wide-and contains 
portions of Bergen, Essex, Morris, Passaic, Hudson, 
Somerset, Sussex and Union Counties in New Jersey. 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 Passaic River 
Basin. 
A $67,400 desnagging, debris removal and channel restoration 
project was completed in 1951 along Beaver Brook and 
the Pequannock Township Ditch, tributaries of the Pompton 
River in Pequannock Township, N.J. 
Along the Pompton River, a channel clearing project including 
shoal removal 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, in Pequannock 
Township, Wayne Township and Lincoln Park 
Borough, N.J., was completed in 1954 at a cost of $50,000. 
Existing project. The project was authorized for Phase I 
advance engineering and design study in Section 101 (a) of the 
Water Resources Development Act of 1976 in accordance 
with the February 18, 1976 report of the Chief of Engineers. 
The estimate of Federal cost under the authorizing legislation 
is $1,330,000,000 (October 1985 P.L.), plus a $3,120,000 
2-16

NEW YORK, N.Y. DISTRICT 
cash contribution from local interests and $146,880,000 for 
items of work to be contributed by local interests. The recommended 
plan for flood protection, navigation, hurricane protection 
and recreation, included a flood detention reservoir, 
channel diversions and modifications, levees and floodwalls, 
and streambank filling and grading. These works would provide 
protection against storm with a recurrence interval of 235 
years, which is 20 percent larger than the October 1903 flood 
of record. Six independent tributary local protection plans 
were also recommended. However, because of a lack of public 
support for structural components of the project in the New 
Jersey portion of the Basin, the entire project is being reformulated 
during the Phase I study. 
The House Public Works Committee Report (94-1702) on 
the 1976 Water Resources Development Act directed "...the 
reformulation of the plan for water management and flood 
control for the entire Passaic Basin." This report further 
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 nonstructural 
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 nonstructural solutions including improvements 
to stream carrying capacity in accordance with 
different needs in the Lower Basin and in the Central basin; 
(d) Evaluation of fulfilling water supply objectives together 
with flood control; (f) Aquifer recharge and underground 
storage; and (g) Reservoir management in the headwaters. 
The Phase I Study is evaluating these alternatives in the formulation 
of revised plans. 
Conditions as of September 30. The reformulation study 
was initiated in October 1977 under the existing authorization 
and Congressional Guidance in House Report 94-1702. The 
Study schedule runs through September 1987 at an estimated 
cost of $21,000,000. During FY1984, major effort was made 
to present feasibility basin-wide plan alternatives to the public. 
These alternatives included plans featuring tunnel diversions, 
channel improvements, levees and floodwalls, and nonstructural 
measures. During this period, the basin experienced 
severe flooding in April which was estimated to be the worst 
flooding in 40 years. In June the State of New Jersey selected 
the dual inlet tunnel plan as the local option plan for further 
study. Study effort is now focused on this plan and the candidate 
NED plan. Plan formulation has been completed for 
tributary flood damage areas along the Ramapo and Mahwah 
Rivers at Mahwah, N.J., and Suffern, N.Y., Molly Ann's 
Brook at Haledon, Prospect Park and Paterson, N.J., the 
Ramapo River at Oakland, N.J., and the Lower Saddle River 
in Bergen County, N.J. These areas have been recommended 
for early implementation under the interim flood protection 
guidance provided by the Congress. 
The Longwood Valley Reservoir plan is now part of the 
Passaic River basin study as a result of a Congressional resolution. 
This plan will include water resource development for 
flood control on the Upper Rockaway River, water supply and 
proposed storage hydroelectric power. 
36. SAW MILL RIVER AT ELMSFORD 
AND GREENBURGH, N.Y. 
Location. On the Saw Mill River in the town of Greenburgh, 
N.Y. One portion known as Babbitt Couirt lies along 
the river immediately south of the Village of Elmsford. 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 4,000 feet. 
(See U.S. Geological Survey Map, White Plains, N.Y.) 
Existing project. In the Babbitt 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-Greenburg 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 totaling approximately 4,400 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 (October 1985 P.L.) for 
the project is $5,580,000 exclusive of land, relocations and 
other work to be provided by local interests at an estimated 
cost of $420,000 (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 of 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 Local 
Cooperating Agency. The New YorkState 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. During Phase I 
preconstruction planning the authorized project was found to 
be no longer economically justified. Phase I project reformulation 
to develop an alternative plan of improvement has been 
completed. 
Condition as of September 30. Plan of Study approved 
January 28, 1977. Preconstruction planning started in 
February 1977. Indications from Phase I Planning accomplished 
to date, are that some features of the authorized 
project are no longer economically justified. The final Phase I 
General Design Memorandum was completed in Sept. 1985 
and transmitted to North Atlantic Division for review.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
37. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED 
FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS. 
Inspections of completed flood control works are performed 
semi-annually to determine the extent of compliance by local 
interests with the requirements of operation and maintenance. 
38. OTHER AUTHORIZED FLOOD 
CONTROL PROJECTS 
(See Table 2-I at end of chapter.) 
39. DAM SAFETY PROGRAM 
Beginning in FY1985 the New York District is performing 
a two phase modification to Waterbury Dam in an attempt to 
drastically reduce or totally eliminate a long existing seepage 
problem at the dam. The first phase of construction is the addition 
of 48 inch pipe to the two existing 54 inch pipes that 
comprise the existing outlet works of the dam. This work was 
completed in July 1985 at a cost of $513,400. The second 
phase of work is the partial rebuilding of the toe of the dam to 
include a seepage filter and monitoring system and to fill voids 
by means of sand injection and to fill voids in the river gorge 
by grouting. A contract for construction of the seepage filter 
and monitoring system was awarded in July 1985 at an 
estimated cost of $818,000 and is expected to be completed in 
Nov. 1985. The sand injection and gorge grouting work was 
initiated by hired labor in April 1985 at an estimated cost of 
$780,000. The sand injection and gorge grouting work is being 
done by the Baltimore District for the New York District. 
40. FLOOD CONTROL WORK 
UNDER SPECIAL 
AUTHORIZATION 
Natural Disaster and Emergency Flood Control Activities. 
Pursuant to Public Law 84-99 and antecedent legislation 
-advance preparation, emergency operations, rehabilitation, 
emergency drinking water, advance measures and drought 
assistance. 
Under disaster preparedness, the New York District completed 
revisions of various emergency manuals and pamphlets, 
attended meetings and seminars dealing with emergency 
response and preparation, provided in-house training to 
District employees in emergency operations activities, and 
purchased supplies and equipment to maintain its' flood 
fighting and response capability. 
Under emergency operations, the New York District 
monitored the effects of Hurricane Gloria which threatened 
the coastal regions of southern Long Island and New Jersey in 
late September 1985. As a result of the severity of this storm, 
the District dispatched reconnaissance survey team to ascertain 
the extent and type of damages which had occurred in the 
affected locations. Technical assistance and sandbags were 
also provided to local, county and state governmental 
organizations which requested such aid. It is anticipated that 
the District will receive mission assignments from the Federal 
2-18 
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) under the provisions 
of PL93-288 to perform preliminary damage 
assessments and to prepare detailed damage survey reports in 
Long Island and New Jersey in FY 1986. 
As a result of continued low precipitation in niorthern New 
Jersey and southeastern New York State, the New York 
District has been actively monitoring the water levels of the 
reservoir systems in these areas on a weekly basis in order to 
determine possible response measures to assist the States of 
New York and New Jersey during the on-going drought 
emergency, although drought restrictions were eventually 
lifted in New Jersey in late summer, monitoring will continue 
in New York State until water levels approach the normal 
reservoir level percentage capacity during FY 1986. 
41. EMERGENCY STREAMBANK 
AND SHORELINE PROTECTION 
Activities pursuant to Section 14, Public Law 526, 79th 
Congress as amended (Preauthorization) 
(See Table 2-Q at end of chapter.) 
42. SURVEYS 
(See Table 2-J at end of chapter.) 
43. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF 
BASIC DATA 
Costs for the period of $110,300 for flood plain management 
services are set forth in Table 2-L at the end of chapter. 
44. DEAUTHORIZED PROJECTS 
A total of 23 projects were deauthorized by Congressional 
Action pursuant to Section 12 of Public Law 93-251, Water 
Resources Development Act of 1976. (See Table 2-M at end 
of chapter.)

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. BARNEGAT INLET, NJ 
Location: On the east coast of New Jersey about 
50 miles south of Sandy Hook, between Island Beach 
on the north and Long Beach on the south (See U.S. 
Coast and Geodetic Chart Nos. 825 and 1216). This 
inlet is main entrance to Barnegat Bay, largest of the 
bays on New Jersey coast which are separated from the 
ocean by narrow barrier beaches. 
Existing project: Provides for a channel 8 feet 
deep through inlet and 10 feet through outer bar, 
channel to be protected by two converging stone jetties 
extending to 12-foot contour in the ocean and spaced 
1,000 feet apart at outer ends; a channel of suitable 
hydraulic characteristics extending in a northwesterly 
direction from gorge in inlet to Oyster Creek Channel 
just northwest of Sunset Shoal, thence via Oyster Creek 
Channel to deep water in the Bay; and maintenance of 
a channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide to connect 
Barnegat City harbor with main inlet channel. Total 
length of section included in project is about 4.5 miles. 
Plane of reference is mean low water. Extreme tidal 
range at inlet is from about 2 feet below mean low water 
to about 3 feet above mean high water. Project was 
completed in 1940. (For details, see page 203, Annual 
Report for 1964.) (See Table 3-B at end of chapter for 
Acts authorizing existing projects.) 
Recommended modifications: The existing 
Federal project at the inlet, which was completed in 
1940, has failed to maintain a suitable and safe channel 
for navigation. As a result of the finding of AE&D 
studies on this matter, the Chief of Engineers decided 
on 20 January 1983 that modification to the project 
should be implemented to correct a design deficiency. 
The recommended modification would serve to correct 
the design deficiency through the construction of a new 
south jetty aligned more nearly parallel to the existing 
north jetty, the dredging and maintenance of a new 
realigned navigation channel, and the removal of the 
shoal located between the proposed navigation channel 
and the north jetty. 
Local cooperation: Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities: There are four docks or 
terminals in inner harbor at Barnegat Light which 
furnish adequate facilities for present commerce of 
locality. 
Operations during fiscal year: Maintenance, 
contract: Maintenance dredging at Oyster Creek by 
Speckard Enterprises from 18 July 1985 to 28 August 
1985, removing 38,000 cubic yards at a cost of $147,000. 
Maintenance, hired labor: Maintenance dredging by 
U.S. Government Side Casting Dredge FRY was performed 
from 29 August 1985 to 30 September 1985. 
Removed an estimated 64,000 cubic yards of material 
at a cost of $110,000. Work also included subsurface 
testing, preparation of design deficiency memorandum, 
general maintenance, engineering surveys on dredging, 
and supervision and administration.

wide, extending from the Atlantic Ocean at Manasquan 
Inlet, N.J. to Delaware Bay above Cape May, N.J., by 
the further improvement of Manasquan River and Inlet, 
N.J., and the present New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway, 
and by the construction of a canal of similar 
dimensions from Cape May Harbor to Delaware Bay 
via the New England Creek basin, with adequate jetties 
at the Delaware Bay entrance. The total length of the 
project is about 117 miles. Normal tide range in sections 
of the waterway remote from inlets is 0.5 foot. 
Estimated cost for new work is $71,549 (July 1969), 
exclusive of $1,824,940 Navy Department funds and 
$99,000 contributed by local interests. Portion of project 
extending from Manasquan River to Cape May Harbor 
is to be restudied and excluded from new work costs 
estimate. Estimated cost of this portion is $6,470,000 
(July 1954). Existing project was adopted by 1945 River 
and Harbor Act (H.Docl33,76th Cong., 1st Sess.) Latest 
published map is in project document. River and Harbor 
Act of 1946 (Public Law 525, 79th Cong., 2nd Sess., as 
extended by Public Law 240,82d Cong.), authorized use 
for a period not to exceed 6 years, of funds from 
appropriations heretofore or hereafter made for 
maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors, 
for maintenance of canal from Cape May Harbor to 
Delaware Bay constructed as an emergency wartime 
project with Navy Department funds, including cost of 
maintaining temporary railroad and seashore highway 
bridges over canal. 
Existing project is about 25 percent complete. A canal 
12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from Cape May Harborto 
Delaware Bay was completed in 1942; two parallel stone 
jetties at Delaware Bay entrances and a temporary 
highway and a railroad bridge in 1944, all with Navy 
Department funds. Work remaining, dredging a channel 
12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from Atlantic Ocean at 
Manasquan Inlet to Cape May Harbor, has been 
deferred for restudy; however, the project between 
Ottens Harbor and Richardson Channel and from that 
point to Cape May are being maintained to 10 feet and 
12 feet, respectively, since they were originally dredged 
to these depths by the State. 
Local cooperation: The project is subject to the 
conditions that the State of New Jersey cede to the 
United States all right, title, and interest that it has 
acquired to lands, easements, rights-of-way, and 
structures other than bridges for the Bayhead- 
Manasquan Canal; that the State of New Jersey furnish, 
free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, 
rights-of-way, and disposal areas required for 
construction of the Cape May Canal and for 
improvement of the proposed waterway and for their 
subsequent maintenance; that local interests provide, 
maintain, and operate suitable bridges over the 
waterway; that the State of New Jersey donate to the 
United States the navigation aids in use on the present 
New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway; and that the State 
of New Jersey hold and save the United States and its 
agents free from any claims for damages resulting from 
the work of improvement. Compliance with these 
conditions was completed January 15,1954, except that 
local interests are required to furnish disposal areas for 
the construction and the subsequent maintenance of 
the proposed improvement. 
Terminal facilities: See Annual Report for 1962.

westerly 3 miles, emptying into Delaware River about 
45 miles below Philadelphia, Pa. It is joined at Salem 
by Little Salem River, or Fenwick Creek, from the east. 
(See U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 294.) 
Existing project: The River and Harbor Act of 
July 11, 1870, provided for a survey and the original 
project was adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 
3,1871, and modified in 1878, and a subsequent project 
adopted by River and Harbor Act of March 2,1907. For 
further details see page 1784, Annual Report for 1915; 
page 349 of Annual Report for 1924; and page 346 of 
Annual Report for 1938. 
Previous projects: This provides for a channel 12 
feet deep at mean low water, 150 feet wide in Delaware 
River across Salem Cove to the mouth, thence 100 feet 
wide to the fixed highway bridge in Little Salem River 
at Salem, 2 1/4 miles above the mouth. It also provides 
for a cutoff to eliminate a large horseshoe bend between 
the mouth and Salem. The total length of the section 
included in the project is about 4 miles. The mean tidal 
range is 5.4 feet. The extreme tidal range is from about 
1 foot below mean low water to about 2 feet above mean 
high water. 
The estimate of cost for new work is $51,825 exclusive 
of amounts expended on previous projects and $51,825 
contributed by local interests. The portion of the project 
comprising the deepening of Little Salem River to 12 
feet is to be restudied and is excluded from the foregoing

estimate. The estimated cost of this portion revised in 
1953 is $28,000 excluding and equal amount to be 
contributed by local interests. 
The existing project is about 64 percent complete. 
The dredging of the channel from Penns Neck Bridge 
to project dimensions, including the cutoff, was 
completed in 1928. The channel from Penns Neck Bridge 
to the fixed highway bridge in Little Salem River was 
dredged to a depth of 9 feet under a previous project. 
The work remaining to be done is the deepening of the 
channel in Little Salem River from 9 feet to 12 feet. 
The controlling depths at mean low water were as 
follows: In January 1961, Delaware River to Penns 
Neck Highway Bridge 12.0 feet; and thence in December 
1956 to the fixed highway bridge at Salem, 0.9 feet. 
The existing project was adopted by the River and 
Harbor Act of March 3,1925 (H.Doc. 110,68th Cong. 1st 
Sess.) The latest published map is in the document. 
Local cooperation: The existing project required 
local interest contribute 50 percent of the estimated 
costs of new work and that a right-of-way for the 
proposed cutoff shall be conveyed to the United States 
free of cost. The contributions thus far made provided 
the right-of-way for the cutoff and 50 percent of the cost 
of the 12-foot channel up to a point 225 feet above the 
county (Penns Neck) highway bridge, amounting to 
$51,825. 
Terminal facilities: There are 9 wharves on the 
river all at Salem, N.J. Eight wharves are privately 
owned and one is owned by the City. The facilities are 
considered adequate for existing commerce.

extending outlet tunnel by addition of a concrete 
conduit, and constructing new dikes and raising 
existing dikes. Modified dam will rise 263 feet above 
riverbed and be 3,500 feet long. Reservoir modification, 
a unit of comprehensive plan for flood control and 
other purposes of Delaware River Basin, will have a 
reservoir capacity of 180,000 acre-feet spillway crest 
level with 2,000 acre-feet of inactive storage, 70,000 
acre-feet for water supply and recreation and 108,000 
acre-feet for flood control. Estimated Federal cost of 
new work (October 1985) is $127,000,000 including 
$110,700,000 required non-Federal reimbursement for 
costs allocated to water supply storage during life of 
project after use of this storage is initiated. Project as 
authorized under the 1946 Flood Control Act was 
completed June 1961. Settlement for lands was 
completed October 1962. The advance engineering and 
design for the modified project is now underway. 
Local cooperation: None required under 1946 
Flood Control Act. Under 1962 Flood Control Act, 
project was approved subject to certain requirements

stilling basin in left abutment. Reservoir controls runoff 
from a drainage area of 65 square miles which is 91 
percent of watershed of Dyberry Creek and 39 percent 
of Lackawaxen River watershed above Honesdale, Pa. 
Construction of project was authorized by 1948 Flood 
Control Act (H. Doc. 113, 80th Cong., 1st Sess.). Federal 
cost of new work was $4,064,510. Non-Federal funds 
not required. Project completed in June 1960. 
Local cooperation: Assurances of Compliance 
with requirements of local cooperation were accepted 
July 30, 1956. For details see page 251, Annual Report 
for 1962.

during the period were $12,303. Total costs were 
$104,882. 
25. INSPECTION OF 
NON-FEDERAL LEVEES 
Inspection of non-Federal levees were conducted at a 
cost of $1,031 at the following sites: 
Port Jervis, NY 12 Feb. 1985 
26. PROMPTON LAKE, PA. 
Location: In Lackawaxen River Valley in central 
part of Wayne County, Pa., between borough of 
Prompton and village of Aldenville. Dam is within 
corporate limits of Prompton, 4 miles upstream from 
Honesdale, Pa., and approximately 30 miles above 
confluence of Lackawaxen and Delaware River. (See 
Geological Survey Quadrangle Sheet, Honesdale, Pa.) 
Existing project: Plan of improvement authorized 
by 1948 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 113, 80th Cong., 1st 
Sess.) provides for a single-purpose flood control 
reservoir. Modification of project authorized by 1962 
Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 522, 87th Cong., 2d Sess.) 
provides for a multiple-purpose development for water 
supply and recreation in addition to present singlepurpose 
flood control project. Plan of improvement 
requires construction of control tower with gates and 
service bridge, placing an impervious blanket on valley 
walls and floor upstream from dam, widening spillway, 
and clearing land and relocating roads in reservoir. 
Dam, completed under 1948 Flood Control act which 
will not be modified, is 1,230 feet long and rises 140 feet 
above riverbed. Existing spillway, cut into rock of right 
abutment, will be modified and present uncontrolled 
outlet works discharging into a concrete conduit along 
right bank, will be provided with gates and a control 
tower. Reservoir modification, a unit of comprehensive 
plan for flood control and other purposes of Delaware 
River basin has a capacity of 52,000 acre-feet; 3,500 
acre-feet for inactive storage, 28,200 acre-feet for water

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Local cooperation: Project modification was 
approved subject to certain requirements by local 
interests, as defined in House Document 522 cited above. 
Assurances of compliance under Flood Control Act of 
1948 have been met. Delaware River Basin Commission 
on March 18, 1966, gave their view that the need for 
water supply was not urgent at that time. However 
recent studies conducted by DRBC have determined 
that there is now a need for water supply. In August 
1983, DRBC expressed their strong support for the 
project modification. Therefore resumption of planning 
will take place when funds are made available. 
Operations during fiscal year: Maintenance, 
contract: Work included operation and minor 
maintenance, water quality monitoring, USGS 
cooperative stream gaging, survey analysis, dam 
survey, supervision and administration, and 
engineering and design. 
Maintenance, hired labor: Work included inundation 
mapping, dam break analysis, annual safety inspection, 
dam safety training, water quality data collection, 
instrumentation and surveillance, dam survey, repair 
of instrumentation and engineering and design.

side of channel between Tulls Point and the end of the 
existing dike; and a channel 9 feet deep at mean low water 
and 100 to 130 feet wide from Shad Landing to the bridge 
at Snow Hill. Length of project is about 8.7 miles from 
Pocomoke Sound to Williams Point, and about 4.5 miles 
from Shad Landing to Snow Hill, MD. Shad Landing is 
about 25.7 miles above the mouth of the river. 
Mean range of tide is 2.4 feet in Pocomoke Sound and 
2.5 feet in the river at Snow Hill. Prolonged high winds 
on Chesapeake Bay frequently cause greater fluctuations. 
Estimated cost (1969) for new work is $1,071,458 exclusive 
of amounts expended under previous projects. Extension 
of channel above the bridge at Snow Hill, 100 feet 
wide, 9 feet deep and widened to 150 feet to form a turning 
basin at upper end, is considered inactive and is excluded 
from the foregoing estimate. Estimated cost of 
this portion is $22,000 (1956). 
Local cooperation. Complied with for section of project 
from Pocomoke Sound to Pocomoke River and from Shad 
Landing to the highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized 
by acts of June 3, 1896, and August 30, 1935, except local 
interests must furnish releases from damage to oyster 
beds and spoil disposal areas as required for future maintenance. 
Terms for the section of the project above the 
highway bridge at Snow Hill, authorized by act of March 
2, 1945, required local interests to furnish all lands, easements, 
rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas for initial 
work and future maintenance, hold the United States free 
from damages resulting from the improvement; and contribute 
one-half the initial cost of that portion of project, 
but not to exceed $4,250. This portion is considered inactive. 
Terms for the 11-foot depth channel from Pocomoke 
Sound to deep water in Pocomoke River above 
Williams Point, authorized by act of September 3, 1954, 
require local interests provide all lands, easements, 
rights-of-way, and spoil disposal areas for construction 
and future maintenance of the project; and hold the United 
States free from damages due to construction and 
maintenance, including such damages as may occur to 
the public or leased oyster beds. 
Terminal facilities. Waterfronts at Pocomoke City and 
Snow Hill are built up principally with earthfilled timber 
bulkheads, the majority of which are privately owned. 
A few of the warehouses and factories on the river at 
these communities have railroad sidings and mechanical 
freighthandling facilities. Any appreciable increase in 
commerce at Pocomoke City or Snow Hill would necessitate 
construction of new facilities and repair of existing 
structures. Adequate space is available for 
development of additional terminals.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
37A. COWANESQUE LAKE, PA 
Location. Dam is on the Cowanesque River about 2.2 
miles above its confluence with Tioga River at Lawrenceville, 
PA. (See Geological Survey map for Tioga, PA.) 
Existing project. The project constructed under the 
Flood Control Act of 1958 provides for an earthfill dam 
3,100 feet long and rising 151 feet above the streambed, 
an uncontrolled spillway in the right abutment, a gated 
conduit in the Valley floor, and flood control storage is 
82,000 acre-feet. Relocation of the Town of Nelson to a 
new townsite was authorized by Section 121 of the Water 
Resources Development Act of 1976. The Federal cost 
of this new work was $106,030,700 of which $61,743,600 
was for construction and $44,287,100 was for lands and 
damages and relocations (which includes $5,755,000 for 
relocation of the Town of Nelson). Within the discretionary 
authority of the Chief of Engineers the project was 
modified in March 1983 in accordance with the Water 
Supply Act of 1958, as amended, and the Flood Control 
Act of 1944, as amended. The modification provides for 
reallocating 25,600 acre-feet of present flood control 
storage for water supply storage by raising the permanent 
pool from elevation 1045 to 1080 mean sea level. 
Other features include modifying the existing intake 
tower and two access ramps, stablizing the reservoir 
slope near the relocated Town of Nelson, replacing existing 
day-use recreation facilities, and expanding both 
day-and overnight-use recreation facilities to accommodate 
an expected increase in annual visitation due to the 
larger pool. Estimated cost (October 1985) of the modification 
is $61,260,000 of which $970,000 is Federal (for 
expanded recreation facilities) and $60,290,000 is non- 
Federal (which includes $47,690,000 for reimbursement 
of the cost of existing flood control storage reallocated 
to water supply storage, $11,630,000 cash contribution 
for the water supply modification, and $970,000 cash contribution 
for expanded recreation facilities). 
Local cooperation. The Water Resources Development 
Act of 1976, which authorized relocation of the Town of 
Nelson, provides that before the Secretary of the Army 
acquires any real estate property for the new townsite 
appropriate non-Federal interests shall furnish binding 
contractual commitments that all lots in the new townsite 
will be either occupied when available, will be replacements 
for open space and vacant lots in the existing 
town, or will be purchased by non-Federal interests at 
the fair market value. The required contractual agreement 
for local cooperation was executed with Nelson 
Township on August 25, 1977. The March 1983 project 
modification (discussed above) requires non-Federal interests 
repay 100 percent of the investment cost of 
project modifications allocated to water supply, to terrestial 
wildlife habitat mitigation, and to in-kind replacement 
recreation, plus the allocated share of the project's 
original cost (escalated to current price levels). Additionally, 
they are required to pay annual costs of operation, 
maintenance, and major replacements allocated to water 
supply and to provide 50 percent of the cost of expanded 
recreation facilities, as well as, all operation, maintenance, 
and replacement costs for the expanded 
facilities. 
Operation and results during fiscal year. New Work: 
Preconstruction planning was completed on the project 
modification and construction funds of $15,000 were allocated 
from the 1985 Supplemental Appropriations Act 
(P.L. 99-88). 
Maintenance: Normal operation and maintenance of 
the project continued.

dock, and 16 privately-owned wharves within or in the 
immediate vicinity of Richmond Harbor. The city's Upper 
Terminal, located on the north bank within the manufacturing 
section of Richmond, provides for 750 feet of concrete wharf 
and 80,000 square feet of warehouse and transit shed. The 
other terminal is located approximately 4 miles downstream 
from the I'pper Terminal which provides about 1,250 feet of 
wharf and 2 concrete warehouses with about 190,000 
square feet of floor space. This deepwater terminal at the 
head of the 25-foot deep improved channel serves oceangoing 
vessels and larger ships engaged in coastwide trading. 
Below the deepwater terminals the improvement is served 
by 42 wharves. Richmond terminals and wharves together 
with wharves between Richmond and the river's mouth are 
adequate for river's commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance dredging 
of the Richmond Deepwater Terminal was completed Sept 
1985. There were 105,351 cubic yards of credited material 
removed at a total cost of $966,000. Dredging the Shoals to 
Hopewell was in progress at the end of the fiscal year.

15. SUPERVISION OF THE HARBOR 
OF HAMPTON ROADS 
(PREVENTION OF OBSTRUCTIVE 
AND INJURIOUS DEPOSITS) 
Laws enacted for the preservation of the Harbor of 
Hampton Roads, VA, is adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay 
and its tributaries as lies within the State of Virginia and so 
much of the Atlantic Ocean and its tributaries as 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 superof 
waters are the New York Harbor Act of 1888, as amended, 
the River and Harbor Act of 1899, the Clean Water Act, the 
Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuary Act of 1972, 
the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the Fish and Wildlife Act 
of 1956, the Federal Power Act of 1966, the Endangered 
Species Act of 1973, the Deepwater Port Act of 1974, and the 
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the Wild and Scenic 
Rivers Act, the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act. 
Direct supervision of the harbor was exercised by means 
of two patrol vessels (376 patrols, 3,008 man-hours) involving 
debris removal, maintenance of bouys and fish stake 
limits, investigating reports of sunken vessels and navigational 
hazards, and providing support for Federal dredging 
projects. Surveillance of the harbor, the Chesapeake Bay

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
and its tributaries with respect to the regulatory permit 
program was conducted by means of three outboard boats, 7- 
9 motor vehicles and commercial aircraft for aerial surveys. 
The outboards were involved in 15 patrols (120 man-hours) 
involving primarily compliance surveys of permitted 
dredging projects and evaluating navigational access to 
proposed pier projects. The motor vehicles were used to 
conduct environmental evaluations of proposed permit 
actions, conduct permit compliance inspections, perform 
jurisdictional determinations, and investigate 
unauthorized activities. There were unauthorized activities 
brought to our attention. There were 38 aerial surveys (114 
man-hours) for the purpose of photographing proposed 
project sites, scoping for pre-application meetings and 
analyzing confirmed violations. 
An educational program continued in an effort to inform 
the public of the need and requirements for Department of 
the Army permits. This program was effected through press 
releases, public notes , public talks and personal interviews 
with interested agencies, committees and private industry 
representatives. 
Agreements and the monthly joint interagency meeting 
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. The joint permit 
application and the joint public notice adopted between the 
Norfolk l)istrict and the State of Virginia have continued to 
result in decreases in the numerous forms of paperwork 
required to process a permit appliction. 
The Norfolk D)istrict's Regulatory Branch continued to 
maintain the Northern Neck Project, the Eastern Shore 
Project Office, and established an office in Southwest 
Virginia. Each of the project offices provide readily available 
(corps personnel to assist waterfront owners, 
contractors, and the general public with their questions and 
problems on waterfront construction and the permit 
requirements of the Corps Regulatory program. 
D)isposition of leagal actions during the fiscal year: 
There were 197 complaints of unauthorized activities. Of 
these, 61 were determined to be valid violations of Federal 
law. When combined with the remaining 66 carried over 
from last fiscal year, 263 unauthorized actions were 
investigated or monitored. Resolution of these violations 
were as follows: 44 through voluntary restoration; 40 
through either the issurance of modified permits or afterthe-
fact permits; :13 were referred for legal action; 136 
alleged activities were determined not to be violations of 
Federal law. The remaining 43 are in various stages of 
resolution or investigation.

deficiency in the design beach at that time. Section 102 of 
the 1962 River and Harbor Act increased Federal participation 
to one-half of the cost incurred after ()ctober 2: 
1962. Estimated Federal cost (1984) is S5,t500,000. Estimated 
cost to local interests is $5,5)00.000. Construlction of 
the groin system is not included in the above estimate. T'he 
1962 estimate for this work was $549,0()() Federal cost and 
$531,000 cost to local interests. The 1974 modification 
provides for structural and nonstructural impro\vements. 
Structural measures would be p)rovided for the h 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' t he 
existing bulkhead from Rudee Inlet to 57th Street: and 
raising and strengthening sand dunes from 57th to 89th 
Streets. The estimated cost (1984) of the structural improvements 
are Federal $28,900,000 and non-Federal $12.800.000. 
(See Table 5-B for Authorizing Legislation.)

24. RICHMOND FILTRATION 
PLANT, VA 
Location. The city of Richmond's Water Filtration Plant 
lies on the north side of the James River. The plant is 
separated on the south from the river by the Chesapeake 
and Ohio Railway embankment. The Old James River 
and Kanawha Canal forms the plant's northern boundary. 
The canal is owned by the C & O Railroad Company; 
however, the city of Richmond has acquired all water rights. 
(See Richmond and Bon Air, VA quadrangles of geological 
survey.) 
Previous projects. None. 
Existing project. The project will provide for protection 
of the filtration plant proper. The basic plan provides for 
enclosing three sides of the plant tying into high ground. 
The walls will have an average height of about 9 feet with a 
top elevation of 117.0 m.s.1. The degree of protection 
provided is equivalent to the Standard Project Flood. A total 
of 11.5 acres will be protected from the design flood having a 
recurrence of 360 years over the project economic life of 50 
years. 
Local cooperation. Requirements are described in full 
on page 5-13 of FY 81 Annual Report. Requirements may 
change if legislation is enacted regarding new cost-sharing 
proposals. 
Operations during fiscal year. Advance engineering 
and design, in preparation for project construction, was 
completed. 
25. SCOTTSVILLE, VA 
Location. The town of Scottsville, VA is located in 
Albemarle and Fluvanna Counties, on the north bank of the 
James River, 185 miles above its mouth. 
Previous project. None. 
5-10

NORFOLK, VA DISTRICT 
Existing Project. The town encompasses 130 acres and 
the 1980 population was 250. It includes small commercial 
establishments and dwellings including many of historical 
value. A relatively large tire manufacturing plant is 
adjacent to the town in Albemarle County and is the largest 
employer in the area with about 270 employees. 
Local cooperation. The Town of Scottsville would 
provide the following: 
1. Provide without cost to the United States all lands, 
easements, rights-of-way, utility relocations and 
alterations, and highway or highway bridge construction 
and alterations necessary for project construction. 
2. Hold and save the United States free from damages due 
to the construction works and adjust all claims concerning 
water rights. 
3. Maintain and operate the project after completion 
without cost to the United States in accordance with 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army. 
4. Assume full responsibility for all project costs in 
excess of the Federal cost limitation of $4 million. 
5. Prevent future encroachment which might interfere 
with proper functioning of the project for flood control. This 
would include the assurances that encroachment on 
ponding areas inside the wall, or decrease in their storage 
capacity, will not be permitted. 
6. Control future flood damages and exposure to flood 
hazards by enforcement of ordinances which will permit 
only uses of the flood plain which are consistent with the 
flood hazard. This will include areas outside of the proposed 
protection to be sure other flood problems are not allowed to 
develop. 
7. Establish an ordinance which insures preservation 
and protection of historic and cultural interests within the 
town including a responsible local committee interested and 
knowledgeable in the historic and cultural aspects of 
Scottsville both within and without the floodplain, which 
committee will to the best of its powers: 
a. Arrest deterioration in structures of historic value. 
b. Assist and encourage future building in the historic 
district to be of design compatible with the historic 
structures. 
c. Assist in the restoration, as occasion exists, some or 
all of the existing historic structures. 
Operations during fiscal year. Approval for 
construction was granted this fiscal year. Engineering and 
design to include relocation studies, design reviews, and 
budgeting and scheduling was accomplished. Total 
contractor's earnings totalled $101,793 by years end. 
26. VIRGINIA BEACH STREAMS 
CANAL NUMBER 2, VA 
Location. The canal number 2 watershed with a 
drainage area of about 37 square miles lies within the city of 
Virginia Beach. The city consists of 255 square miles of 
primarily low, flat terrain with about 75 percent of the area 
below elevation 15 feet, mean sea level. The existing canal, 
from the Eastern Branch of the Lynnhaven River to the 
North Landing River is about 12 miles long and follows a 
north-south alignment. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 
No. 12205.) 
Existing project. The project will provide for 
construction of a new canal for a length of 2.6 miles and 
channelization of an existing canal fro a lenght of 1.1 miles. 
The canal botom width will range from 45 feet to 80 feet and 
a depth from -4feet mean sea level to -8 feet mean sea level 
with a flow capacity great enough to carry a 100 year flood. 
Its construction will require dredging 741,000 cubic yards of 
material. 
Local cooperation. Requirements are described in full on 
page 5-14 of FY 81 Annual Report. Requirements may 
change if legislation is enacted regarding new cost-sharing 
proposals. 
Operations during fiscal year. Work on plans and 
specifications, real estate studies and budgeting and 
scheduling was performed in preparation for construction. 
27. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER 
SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION 
None this year. 
28. EMERGENCY FLOOD 
CONTROL ACTIVITIES 
During FY 85, $75,302 was spent on the National 
Emergency Preparedness Program. In addition, $726,556 
was spent for repairs to the Jamestown Island Seawall.

1. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL (RIVER AND HARBOR 
ACT OF 1965) 
Location. 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 water-hyacinth, 
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. New work: 
Herbicides were applied to two lakes in William B. 
Umstead State Park, Wake County, North Carolina, to 
control hydrilla and in the Scuppernong River Basin, in 
Washington and Tyrrell Counties and the Little River 
Basin in Pasquotank County, for alligatorweed control. 
Twelve acres of hydrilla were treated with Aquathol-K in 
Reedy Creek Lake. Fourteen acres of hydrilla in Sycamore 
Lake were treated with Fenatrol. No applications were 
made in Big Lake so that any residual control provided by 
FY84 Sonar applications could be observed. Successful 
FY84 alligatorweed control efforts reduced the area which 
required treatment on the Scuppernong River to 5 acres in 
1985. Herbicide application was expanded in 1985 to include 
navigable tributaries to the Scuppernong River with 
an additional 3 acres treated in those areas. Three acres of 
alligatorweed in the Little River Basin were also treated 
in FY85. Planning efforts included the preparation of a 
reconnaissance study and report for the inclusion of major 
drainage canals in the program, initial studies for the inclusion 
of Elodea as a new problem plant species and investigation 
of aquatic weed problems in response to requests 
by others. Control work was accomplished for 
$15,257. Planning was accomplished at a Federal Cost of 
$35,183. Studies to develop a cold-tolerant strain of 
fleabeetle (for control of alligatorweed) were conducted by 
the NC Department of Agriculture under contract to the 
Wilmington District. 
Conditions at end of fiscal year. Two applications of 
Aquathol-K were required to provide seasonal control in 
Reedy Creek Lake. Only one herbicide treatment was 
made on Sycamore Lake. Sonar did not provide satisfactory 
residual control at Big Lake as expected. It appears 
that all three lakes in Umstead State Park will require herbicide 
treatment in FY86. Sterile triploid grasscarp will be 
stocked in Lake Wheeler for hydrilla control. Other 
potable water reservoirs will be investigated for stocking 
in FY85. Alligatorweed control in the Scuppernong and 
Little River Basins will be required in FY86 but the treatment 
area within those basins is expected to be less than 
in FY85. New alligatorweed treatment sites identified in 
FY84 were added to the program in FY85. Investigations 
of aquatic weed problems, in response to requests by county 
governments and municipalities, may result in the addition 
of new treatment sites and species in future years.

at the town of Southport, connected to the waterway by a 
suitable channel of the same depth; and maintenance of the 
general navigation features of the North Carolina State 
Ports Authority Small-Boat Harbor at Southport, consisting 
of an entrance channel, 150 feet wide and 400 feet 
long, an eastern harbor-access channel, 70 feet wide and 
430 feet long, a western harbor-access channel, 60 feet 
wide and 185 feet long, to a turning basin, 180 feet wide 
and 550 feet long, all to a depth of 6 feet. A modification 
providing for the replacement of five Federally owned and 
operated highway bridges was authorized in December 
1970. A modification providing for 100 percent Federal 
funding for Walter B. Jones (formerly Wilkerson Creek) 
and Coinjock bridges was authorized in October 1976. 
Estimated Federal Cost is $45,800,000 (1985). The six mooring 
basins along the AIWW were deauthorized August 5, 
1977 under authority of Sec. 12, PL 93-251.The south jetty 
at Masonboro Inlet has an estimated Federal cost of 
$9,110,000 (1985) and is complete except for the training 
wall. A Section 111 project to mitigate damages caused by 
the north jetty was authorized in October 1980 and was 
completed in April 1981. A modification to provide for a 
channel 150 feet wide and 8 feet deep extending from the 
seaward side of the ocean bar at Carolina Beach Inlet to 
the intersection of the inlet with the AIWW channel was 
approved by the Chief of Engineers on February 18, 1982, 
under Section 107 of the 1960 River and Harbor Act. A 
modification to provide for a channel 150 feet wide and 8 
feet deep extending from the seaward side of the ocean 
bar at Bogue Inlet to the inlet gorge was approved by the 
Chief of Engineers on September 7, 1983, under Section 
107 of the 1960 River and Harbor Act. Length of channels 
and basins total 347.7 miles. Plane of reference is mean low 
water. 
In the waterway north of Neuse River, variations in 
water surface due to winds seldom exceed 2 feet above or 
below mean stage. Between Beaufort and the Cape Fear 
River, normal tidal range varies from 3.5 feet at the inlets 
to 1 foot at points between. Average range of tide is 4 feet 
on the ocean side of Bogue Inlet and 2.5 feet just inside the 
inlet. At New River, tidal range varies from 3.5 feet at the 
inlet to 1 foot at the head of the marshes and zero at Tar 
Landing, 31 miles above. From Cape Fear River, N. C., to 
Little River, S. C., mean tidal range varies between 4.7 
feet in Cape Fear River and 4 feet at the intermediate inlets, 
and 2 feet at points midway between the inlets. On October 
15, 1954 (Hurricane Hazel), the tide at Holden Beach 
reached an elevation of 17.6 feet. (See Table 6-B for 
Authorizing Legislation.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with to date except 
for the uncompleted modifications. The State of North 
Carolina has agreed to keep the bridges toll free and upon 
completion of each bridge, accept maintenance, replacement, 
and ownership responsibilities thereof. They have 
withdrawn their offer to contribute 25 percent of the first 
cost. The Water Resources Act of 1976 modified the terms 
of local cooperation to delete the non-Federal cost-sharing 
requirement for the Walter B. Jones (formerly Wilkerson 
Creek) and Coinjock bridges. The three remaining bridges 
were not included in this modification and are awaiting additional 
authorization to reflect 100 percent Federal 
funding.

8. LOCKWOODS FOLLY RIVER, N. C. 
Location. The project is located on the south coast of 
North Carolina about 12 miles west of Cape Fear River. 
(See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1236 and Geological 
Survey Map of North Carolina.) 
Existing project. The authorized project provides for a 
channel 100 feet wide and 6 feet deep at low water from 
the ocean to the bridge at Supply 12.5 miles above, to be 
obtained by dredging through oyster rocks and mudflats. 
The completed river portion of the project above the 
waterway was reclassified to the active category in 1971. 
Lunar tidal ranges in Lockwoods Folly River are 4.5 feet 
at the inlet and 2 feet at the head of navigation at Supply. 
The existing project was authorized by the 1890 River and 
Harbor Act. (See Annual Report for 1887, page 1099.) A 
modification to enlarge the channel from 6 to 12 feet deep 
and from 100 to 150 feet wide across the ocean bar for 
distance of 4,700 feet was approved by the Chief of 
Engineers on June 3, 1980, under Section 107 of the 1960 
River and Harbor Act. During dredging operations it 
became apparent that establishment of the 12-foot project 
would not be possible with currently available equipment. 
Therefore, the Chief of Engineers, on December 20, 1983, 
approved the District's recommendation that further construction 
activity for the Lockwoods Folly Inlet project be 
suspended until suitable equipment becomes available and 
that the project be maintained at an 8-foot project depth in 
the interim. 
Local cooperation. For the new modification local 
interest must: (a) pay, contribute in kind, or repay with 
interest, one-half of the first costs of construction allocated 
to recreational boating, an amount presently estimated at 
$23,500; (b) hold and save the United States free from 
damages resulting from changes in groundwater levels, 
saltwater intrusion, or wave action due to the construction 
6-5

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
works, except damages due to the fault or negligence of 
the United States or its contractor; (c) provide without cost 
to the United States all lands, easements, and rights-ofway 
necessary for the construction and subsequent 
maintenance of the project and for aids to navigation upon 
the request of the Chief of Engineers and, (d) provide 
depths in berthing areas commensurate with the project

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
17. CAPE FEAR RIVER BASIN, N. C. 
Location. Work covered by this project consists of a 
series of dams and reservoirs on tributaries of the Cape 
Fear River in North Carolina within a radius of 100 miles 
from Raleigh, North Carolina. (See Geological Survey Map 
of North Carolina.) 
Existing project. Public Law 88-253, approved 
December 30, 1963, authorized three principal dams and 
reservoirs and a series of smaller reservoirs on tributaries 
of the Cape Fear River in accordance with the comprehensive 
plans in House Document 508, 87th Congress, 2d 
session. The act also provides that the appropriate 
agencies of the Departments of the Army and Agriculture 
shall conduct joint investigations and surveys and prepare 
a report on the upper tributaries of the Cape Fear River in 
the interest of watershed protection and flood prevention, 
and the conservation, development, utilization, and 
disposal of water. The report is to be prepared and 
submitted in compliance with provisions of Public Law 
87-639. A list of the dams and reservoirs included in the 
comprehensive plan follows. (See Table 6-J on Dams and 
Reservoirs). Estimates of cost as given are based on 1960 
price levels, except the ones for B. Everett Jordan Dam 
and Lake, and Randleman Lake, which were revised in 
1985, and Howards Mill Lake in 1980. These three projects 
have been authorized for construction in accordance with 
the above authorization. Howards Mill Lake was 
reclassified to the "deferred" category in October 1980 due 
to the current lack of economic justification. The joint 
study, accomplished by the Departments of the Army and 
Agriculture was unfavorable and has been submitted to 
Congress. No further action will be taken. 
Local cooperation. Requirements are given in the 
individual project reports.

28. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR 
OPERATIONS 
B. Everett Jordan Dam and Lake, located in the Cape 
Fear River Basin, North Carolina, began fiscal year 1985 at 
elevation 215.10 feet, MSL or 0.9 feet below normal pool. 
Below average rainfall caused the lake to be gradually 
drawndown to the minimum elevation of the fiscal year on 
November 28, which was 212.55 feet, MSL or 3.45 feet 
below normal pool. Heavy rainfall produced three major 
lake level peaks, two of which were 219.00 and 219.75 feet, 
MSL on January 6 and August 22, respectively. The third 
lake level peak of 224.40 feet, MSL on February 4 was the 
maximum elevation for fiscal year 1985. Jordan Lake ended 
the fiscal year at elevation 214.85 feet, MSL or 1.15 feet 
below normal pool. Flood damages prevented for fiscal 
year 1985 and since impoundment were equal to $680,000 
and $3,405,000, respectively. Total cost of functional operation 
for the period was $97,550. 
Falls Lake, a relatively new project, is located in the 
Neuse River Basin, North Carolina. During installation of 
the sedimentation ranges, substantial differences were 
noted in the storage capacity of Falls Lake as determined 
during the planning process in the mid-1960's. Because of 
these storage differences, part of the lake area was remapped 
which closely confirmed the most recent storage 
determination. Conservation pool storage was found to be 
89,670 acre-feet or a reduction of 22.3 percent from the initial 
storage determined during the planning process. Controlled 
flood storage was found to be 220,878 acre-feet or a 
reduction of 9.1 percent from the initial storage determination. 
Because of the impacts primarily to water supply and 
water quality storage resulting from this storage deficit, a 
committee consisting of Corps, State and local officials was 
formed to address the resulting problems and formulate 
solutions. An interim solution was to adopt a lake level 
rule curve. The Falls Lake level is to be 0.9 feet above the 
normal pool elevation or at 251.0 feet, MSL during the 
months of May through September and at the normal pool 
level of 250.1 feet, MSL during the months of November 
through March. Water quality target flows were also 
reduced on an interim basis during the months of July 
through September from 404 to 254 cubic feet per second 
to aid in counteracting drought conditions and the reduced 
storage capacity. Final solutions have not been finalized. 
Falls Lake began fiscal year 1985 at elevation 247.80 feet, 
MSL or 2.30 feet below normal pool. Below normal rainfall 
caused a gradual drawdown to elevation 245.74 feet, MSL 
on November 28. Periods of excessive rainfall then caused 
the lake level to rise to elevation 251.45 feet, MSL on 
January 7, 1985 and then to the maximum elevation of the 
fiscal year at elevation 255.83 feet, MSL on February 7. 
Falls Lake returned to normal pool on February 28 and 
then remained near that level through May. Below normal 
rainfall caused a gradual drawdown in lake level to elevation 
245.71 feet, MSL on August 16 which was the 
minimum elevation of the fiscal year. Heavy rainfall caused 
a lake level rise to elevation 249.38 feet, MSL on 
September 6. Releases from Falls of approximately 60 
6-15

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
CFS, were made from August 30 to October 4 at the request 
of the State of North Carolina Department of 
Natural Resources and Community Development to complete 
low flow water quality studies. However, below normal 
rainfall and low inflows caused a gradual drawdown to 
elevation 248.87 feet, MSL at the end of the fiscal year or 
2.13 feet below normal pool. Flood damages prevented in 
fiscal year 1985 were $419,000 and the cumulative flood 
damages prevented since the project began were 
$6,342,000. Total cost of functional operation for the period 
was $88,284. 
John H. Kerr Dam and Reservior, located in the 
Roanoke River Basin, Virginia and North Carolina, began 
fiscal year 1985 at elevation 296.89 feet, MSL or 2.61 feet 
below rule curve. The reservoir level rose slightly and remained 
near rule curve through December 1984. During 
this period, Kerr Reservoir fell to 295.12 feet, MSL on 
December 31 which was the minimum elevation for the 
fiscal year. Excessive rainfall in early January caused a 
rise in the reservoir level to elevation 300.63 feet, MSL, or 
5.13 feet above rule curve on January 8. The resevoir level 
gradually fell to near rule curve by the end of January 
when excessive rainfall on February 1, 2 and 12 caused a 
rise to elevation 301.25 feet, MSL or 5.75 feet above rule 
curve on February 15. Record low rainfall for the month of 
March caused the reservoir level to fall below rule curve 
on March 11. Kerr Reservoir remained one to three feet 
below rule curve through mid-June. A decreasing rule 
curve elevation caused the reservoir level to remain closer 
to rule curve through mid-August. Heavy rains produced 
the maximum elevation of the fiscal year at 304.46 feet, 
MSL on August 23. Kerr Reservoir ended the fiscal year 
1.41 feet below rule curve or at elevation 298.09 feet, MSL. 
The 13 foot minimum stage required in the lower Roanoke 
River at Weldon for striped bass spawning did not begin 
as planned due to below average rainfall and low 
streamflows into Kerr Reservoir. However, storage was 
available in Kerr Reservoir to provide necessary releases 
for three weeks during the spawning period which ended 
on June 7. All inflows to Kerr Reservoir were controlled 
without having to spill water over the spillway or through 
the sluices. Gross generation for the fiscal year amounted 
to 293,999,400 kilowatt-hours and power revenue was 
$4,595,848 making a cumulative total since inception of 
$115,757,708. Flood damages prevented during the fiscal 
year amounted to $8,500,000 and the cumulative flood 
damages prevented since the project began amounts to 
$72,107,000. The total cost of functional operations for the 
fiscal year was $123,251. 
Philpott Lake, located on the Smith River in the Dan 
River Basin, Virginia, was at elevation 971.50 feet, MSL or 
at rule curve at the start of fiscal year 1985 and remained 
near rule curve through mid-May 1985. Above normal rainfall 
in May caused a rise in the lake level to elevation 
975.97 feet, MSL on May 25. Below normal rainfall and drying 
conditions in June produced a gradual draw down in 
the lake level. Even with near normal rainfall in July 
through mid-August, Philpott Lake continued to 
drawdown because of dry ground conditions to elevation 
968.97 feet, MSL on August 16 which was the minimum 
elevation of the fiscal year. Excessive rainfall then caused 
a rapid rise to the maximum lake elevation of the fiscal 
year at elevation 977.76 feet, MSL on August 19. Philpott 
Lake was drawndown to rule curve on September 6 and 
remained near this level through September at elevation 
971.22 feet, MSL or 0.28 feet below rule curve. Flood 
damages prevented during the fiscal year and since inception 
of the project amounted to $2,500,000 and $21,470,000, 
respectively. Gross generation amounted to 20,585,010 
kilowatt-hours and power revenue was $547,900, making a 
total $13,748,013 since inception. Total cost of functional 
operation for the period was $53,993. 
W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir ,located in the 
Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, North Carolina, began fiscal 
year 1985 at elevation 1,028.05 feet, MSL, or 1.95 feet 
below normal pool. The reservoir level fluctuated near 
elevation 1,028.00 feet , MSL and gradually fell to 
elevation 1,027.00 feet, MSL on January 30. Normal 
rainfall during February produced lake levels near normal 
pool through early March. The lake level gradually fell to 
elevation 1,027.50 feet MSL on April 14. Mid-April rainfall 
caused the lake level to rise back to near normal pool by 
the end of May. Below average rainfall during late June 
and early July caused a gradual draw down to elevation 
1,023.69 feet, MSL on July 22 which was the minimum 
elevation of the fiscal year. Excessive rains in mid-August 
caused the lake level to rise above normal pool to elevation 
1,033.75 feet, MSL on August 19 which was the maximum 
level for the fiscal year. The reservoir level again fell and 
ended the fiscal year at elevation 1,024.30 feet, MSL. Flood 
damages prevented during the fiscal year were $800,000, 
which makes the cumulative total since inception of the 
project equal to $59,951,000. Total cost of functional 
operation for the period was $45,407. 
General Investigations 
29. SURVEYS 
Cost for the period was $1,631,024, of which $861 was 
for navigation studies, $1,455,716 was for flood control 
studies, $8,770 was for beach erosion studies, $16,105 for 
review of authorized projects, $80,938 for Special Investigations, 
$13,345 for FERC licenses review, $3,000 for 
soil conservation service, $7,289 for hydrologic studies, 
and $45,000 for cooperation with states. 
30. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL, S.C. 
Location. The project areas include navigable water, 
tributary streams, connecting channels, and other allied 
waters in the State of South Carolina. 
Existing Project. The project provides for control and 
progressive eradication of water hyacinth, alligator weed, 
Eurasian watermilfoil, and other noxious 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. The 
South Carolina Water Resources Commission (WRC) is 
designated as the State's lead agency for aquatic plant 
management and meets the local interest requirement of 
paying 30 percent of the cost of field operations. 
The project provides for a comprehensive plan of 
chemical, biological, and integrated control measures for 
managing noxious aquatic plants within the state waters of 
South Carolina. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Aquatic 
plants now infest approximately 40,000 acres, with the 
worst problems being in Lake Marion. During FY 85 5,500 
acres of aquatic plants in 40 water bodies were treated with 
herbicides. Grass carp was purchased and stocked in 19 
lakes having a total surface area of 2,500 acres. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. The cost of field 
operations in FY 85 was $595,000 and included $458,500 
for the application of herbicides, $75,600 for the purchase 
and stocking of grass carp, $38,500 for aquatic plant 
surveys, and $22,400 for program management by the 
contractor. The cost of planning and reconnaissance 
surveys was $62,623. 
2. ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY 
BETWEEN NORFOLK, VA AND 
ST. JOHNS RIVER, FL (CHARLESTON 
DISTRICT) 
Location. The project starts at Little River at the North 
Carolina-South Carolina state line and extends generally 
south along the coast of South Carolina 62 miles to 
Winyah Bay; thence 63.5 miles to Charleston; thence 84.5 
miles to and including Port Royal Sound; a total of 210 
miles. (See National Ocean Survey Charts Nos. 11512, 
11521, 11531, 11534, and 11535.) 
Previous Projects. For further details see page 613 of 
Annual Report for 1932. 
Existing project The project provides for a waterway 
twelve feet deep and not less than 90 feet wide with a 
branch channel of the same dimensions to McClellanville 
and construction of three bridges crossing the waterway in 
Horry County, South Carolina. (See table at end of chapter 
for acts authorizing existing project.) 
Local cooperation. Requirements fully satisfied. 
Terminal facilities. There are rail-water terminals at 
Georgetown, Charleston, Johns Island, and Port Royal and 
numerous open-pile wharves mostly for shipping agricultural 
products, fish, oysters, pulpwood, wood products, and 
petroleum products. Marinas are located at convenient 
intervals along the waterway where limited supplies and 
repair facilities are available for both commercial vessels 
and pleasure craft. Facilities are considered adequate for 
existing commerce and recreation requirements. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Contract maintenance dredging was performed by pipeline 
dredge in the Cove Inlet Area during June 1985, removing 
85,843 cubic yards of material, and between Winyah Bay 
and Charleston, S.C. during July-August 1985, removing 
878,513 /cubic yards at a total cost of $985,798. Bank 
stabilization costs for the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area were 
$659,000 and the mosquito abatement control contract 
costs were $83,680. The cost of operating the Snagboat 
Snell in the Winyah Bay to Little River area was 
$178,968. Costs of $687,664 were also incurred for 
contract dike management. Condition and operations 
studies, natural resource management, water control 
management, engineering and design, and supervision and 
administration costs were $656,073. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Existing project was 
completed in 1940; three bridges were completed in 1936. 
Federal costs of existing project to date have been 
$7,345,888 for new work and $41,904,494 for maintenance 
for a total of $49,250,382. 
3. CHARLESTON HARBOR, S.C. 
Location. The harbor is located on the coast of South 
Carolina about 15 miles south of the midpoint of the 
coastline, 50 miles southwest of Winyah Bay, S.C., and 80 
miles northeast of the mouth of Savannah River. (See 
National Ocean Survey Charts Nos. 11521 and 11524.) 
Previous projects. For further details see page 1808 of 
Annual Report for 1915; page 579 of Annual Report for 
1926; and page 562 of Annual Report for 1938. 
Existing project. The authorized project provides for a 
channel 35 feet deep with varying widths from the Atlantic 
Ocean to the mouth of Goose Creek, a total of 26.3 miles, 
together with a 35-foot depth by 500-foot width channel 
via Town Creek. Also, a ten foot depth by 110-foot width 
channel on the Mount Pleasant side of the harbor into 
Shem Creek to U.S. Highway 17 Bridge, and a 30-foot 
anchorage basin in the lower harbor between Castle 
7-2

CHARLESTON, S.C., DISTRICT 
Pinckney and Fort Moultrie. A 40-foot channel estimated 
to cost $6,060,000 (1960) was authorized to be executed 
when found necessary in the interest of national defense 
from the 40-foot contour in Atlantic Ocean to U.S. Naval 
Base. For futher details see page 425 of Annual Report for 
1962. The Phase I Design Memorandum stage of Advance 
Engineering and Design for deepening of the 35-foot 
channel to 40 feet (42 feet in the ocean bar and entrance 
channel) from the 42-foot ocean contour to Goose Creek, a 
total distance of 26.9 miles, construction of one turning 
basin, modification of existing turning basins, deepening 
and modification of the anchorage basin, and deepening 
Shipyard River to 38 feet have been authorized. (See table 
at end of chapter for acts authorizing existing project.) 
Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied 
with their responsibility to date but are experiencing 
difficulty securing disposal areas for dredged material for 
continued future maintenance. 
Terminal facilities. Piers and slips extend for about one 
mile along the eastern waterfront of the City of Charleston 
with an additional mile of marginal wharves. The South 
Carolina State Ports Authority operates eight piers for 
fruit, wood, cold storage facilities and general cargo, a 
grain elevator and a beltline railway which serves the entire 
Cooper River waterfront. Modern facilities are also at 
wharves of seven major petroleum companies including 
storage tank farms. Modern facilities for marine repairs and 
servicing are available at Detyens Shipyard, located 
approximately ten miles northeast of Charleston on the 
Wando River. The U.S. Navy Department has modern 
facilities for construction and maintenance of naval vessels 
including nuclear-powered submarines. Loading docks and 
storage areas for missile-carrying type vessels have also 
been constructed and are being operated by the U.S. Navy. 
For further details see Port Series No. 13, 1970, Corps of 
Engineers. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Contract maintenance dredging was performed in (a) the 
Lower Harbor by pipeline dredges during October 1984- 
February 1985 and July-August 1985 removing 1,539,676 
cubic yards of material, (b) in the Anchorage Basin during 
September 1985 removing 450,401 cubic yards of material, 
and (c) in the Upper Harbor during January-April 1985 
and May-September 1985 removing 508,285 cubic yards, 
resulting in an overall total FY 85 dredging cost of 
$3,444,682. Funds of $46,935 for work performed in FY 
1984 were also expended this fiscal year. Government 
furnished materials for dike management cost $1,471. 
Contract dike management costs were $892,634. Costs of 
Riverine Utility Craft operation were $16,707. Condition 
and operations studies, water control management, engineering 
and design, and supervision and administration 
costs were $798,585. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Jetties protecting the 
entrance channel across the bar were completed in 1985. 
The existing project was completed in October 1962 except 
for the national defense portion. Federal costs under the 
existing project to date have been $3,328,349 for new work 
and $86,138,046 for maintenance, a total cost of $89,466,395. 
4. COOPER RIVER, CHARLESTON 
HARBOR, S.C. 
Location. Cooper River is located in Charleston and 
Berkeley Counties, S.C., and empties into the Atlantic 
Ocean at Charleston (See National Ocean Survey Charts 
Nos. 11521 and 11524.) 
Existing project The major cause of the shoaling 
problem in Charleston Harbor was the diversion of fresh 
water from the Santee River through Pinopolis Dam into 
the salt water of Charleston Harbor, which caused density 
currents which traps sediments resulting in a phenomenal 
rate of deposition. The most practical solution of the 
shoaling problem was 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 provided that the 
discharge through the existing Pinopolis Hydroplant 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 impounded in Lake Moultrie is 
being 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 has been constructed on the new canal 
at the edge of the swamp adjacent to the Santee River. This 
plant replaces 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, approximates the 
existing average Pinopolis flow. The three generators at the 
new plant are 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 includes a herring lift at the 
new powerhouse site and a relocated fish hatchery. 
Estimated cost of the project (1985) is $191,500,000, all 
Federal. (See table at end of chapter for acts authorizing 
existing project.) 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New Work: 
Funds were received for initiation of construction during 
FY 75. Costs during FY 85 were $9,733 for lands and 
damages, $19,899 for relocations, $6,650,175 for power 
plant, $1,710 for fish and wildlife facilities contract, 
$28,000 for turbines, $1,995,643 for the scour hole 
contract, $33,316 for the piezometer installation, $209,208 
for generators, $11,080 for governors, -$85,957 for the 
entrance canal, $850,251 for the intake canal, $4,042 for 
main control switchboards, $282,891 for cooling water 
facilities-towers, -$1,687 for cooling water facilities-general 
construction, $9,315 for buildings, grounds and utilities, 
$1,230 for cultural resources preservation, -$10,718 for 
permanent operating equipment, and supervision and 
administration costs were $1,327,954. Maintenance. Funds 
of $1,839,765 were spent for maintenance of completed 
work. 
7-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Preconstruction 
planning was completed at the end of FY 74. The General 
Design Memorandum was completed in January 1972 and 
work is proceeding on schedule on other phases of the 
project. Construction was initiated March 1977. The 
project is 99% complete. The power-on-line date was 
March 1985. 
5. COOPER RIVER SEISMIC 
MODIFICATION 
Location. The Cooper River Seismic Project is located 
in Berkeley County, South Carolina, about 50 miles north 
of Charleston, South Carolina. 
Existing project The Santee-Cooper Project was 
constructed in the early 1940's using the latest state-of-theart 
design for that time. The project is currently licensed by 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as 
project No. 199. The FERC requires that the project 
receive independent inspections at least once every five 
years. It was during the 1977 inspection that the seismic 
deficiency of both the West and North Dams was noted. 
This was confirmed again in the 1982 inspection. As a 
result of studying the possible consequences of the loss of 
both dams, the S.C. Congressional Delegation introduced 
legislation which was approved in the 1983 Supplemental 
Appropriations Act to provide $2 million for design and 
$22 million for construction of remedial measures. The 
design and construction responsibility was assigned to the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps began in 
August 1983 to study various alternatives to provide a 
closure structure in the canal between the two lakes of the 
project and to provide remedial measures for the liquifiable 
foundation of the West Dam. 
Current estimated cost of the project is $22,000,000, all 
Federal. 
Local cooperation. None required 
Condition at end of fiscal year. At the end of FY 85, 
the initial evaluation report had been submitted to SAD 
and OCE for approval and additional subsurface testing 
was ongoing at the West Dam. Additional stability analysis 
of the West Dam was completed and a compaction 
grouting test program was completed which indicated that 
compaction grouting was technically feasible. A contract 
for deformation analysis was awarded at the end of the 
fiscal year. 
6. FOLLY RIVER, S.C.

9. LITTLE RIVER INLET, N.C. AND S.C. 
Location. The project is located near the North 
Carolina-South Carolina state line. Little River enters the 
Atlantic Ocean at Little River Inlet at the state line and 
affords the only connection between the Atlantic Intracostal 
Waterway and the ocean along 68 miles of coastline from 
Shallotte, N.C. to Georgetown, S.C. (See National Ocean 
Survey Chart No. 11535.) 
Existing project. The project provides for an entrance 
channel twelve by 300 feet across the ocean bar; thence a 
ten by 90-foot inner channel to the Atlantic Intracoastal 
Waterway. The entrance channel is stabilized by jetties 
extending seaward 3,200 feet and 3,000 feet long on the 
north and south sides of the inlet, respectively. 
Emergency dredging on an annual basis was authorized 
by the Water Resources Act of 1974. Previous work was 
done under the authority of the River and Harbor Act of 
1945, Section 3, P.L. 79-14. 
Local cooperation. Requirements fully satisfied. 
Terminal facilities. There are eight marinas, numerous 
private docks, and several public boat ramps located in or 
near Little River. It is expected that existing facilities will 
expand and new ones will be added as demands for 
services exceed current capacity. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Condition 
and operation studies, water control management, and 
supervision and administration costs were $124,428. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. The initial construction

Location. 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. 
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,

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
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, where there is no perceptible tidal effect. At 
Doctortown, mile 59, ordinary floods attain a height of 
about 10 feet above low water, and at extreme floods, a 
height of about 15 feetabove 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 at several points. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
No maintenance was performed during the fiscal 
year. (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 bankprotection 
works need repairs. The notice of availability 
on the Final Environmental Statement appeared in the 
Federal Register October 21, 1977. 
To September 30,1985, costs under the existing project 
were $60,847 for new work and 1,871,657 for maintenance, 
of which $69,356 were contributed funds, a total of 
$1,932,504. (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 water-hyacinth, alligatorweed, 
Eurasian water milfoil, and other noxious aquatic plants 
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. The project provides 
for continued research for developing the 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-C 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. 
Actual control work under the Aquatic Plant Control 
Cost Sharing Program with the Georgia Game and Fish 
Division was not accomplished in FY 85. Actual control 
work under the Aquatic Plant Control Cost Sharing 
Program with the Georgia Game and Fish Division was 
not accomplished in FY 85. Substantial progress was 
made on implementing a new cost-sharing agreement. 
This agreement will be fully implemented during the FY 86 
plant control season. The District assisted the public in FY 
85 by answering inquiries about the program and 
providing contacts with the State. Cost during the fiscal 
year was $11,433. The Final Environmental 
Statement was filed with EPA on August 6, 1979, and its 
notice of availability appeared in the Federal Register 
August 17, 1979. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial 
Statement.)

Mean tidal range between Port Royal, SC, and Cumberland 
Sound, GA and FL, is from 6 to 8 feet with 
fluctuations from 1.5 to 2.5 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 contract for maintenance dredging was awarded on 
July 3, 1985. The contract dredge Clarendon removed 
24,063 cubic yards from the Wilmington River from 
August 31 to September 4, 1985. The following week it 
removed 66,359 cubic yards from Hell Gate. From 
September 17 to September 26,1985 the dredge removed 
124,169 cubic yards from Creighton Narrows and another 
39,880 cubic yards from Rockdedundy from September 
27 thru September 30, 1985. The expenditures for the 
dredging were $800,000. Total cost including inspection, 
administration, and other government cost was $110,848. 
The government cost for surveys and inspection reports, 
and condition and operation studies amounted to $39,108. 
Real estate inspection cost and administration activities 
cost amounted to $334. Total cost for the fiscal year 
amounted to $950,290. (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. Relocation of the main 
channel from the Frederica to Mackay River near St. 
Simons Island, GA, is accomplished after construction of 
the new bridges for the Torras Causeway. The notice on 
the Final Environmental Impact Statement appeared in 
the Federal Register October 29, 1976 
Costs of the existing completed project to September 
30, 1985, were $763,599 for new work and $15,645,053 for 
maintenance, a total of $16,408,652. (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, FL. 
(See NOAA Chart 11215, formerly Coast and Geodetic 
Survey Chart 447.) 
Previous projects. For details see page 1818 of Annual 
Report for 1915 and page 591 of Annual Report for 1938.

150 feet wide from St. Simons 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, 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. Eighteen wharves and piers, almost 
all privately owned, have a berthing space of 7,530 linear 
feet. The Port of Brunswick and the State of Georgia have 
a transit shed and modern docks with 1,640 feet of 
berthing space (three general cargo berths) on East River. 
For further details see Port Series No. 14, Corps of 
Engineers (revised 1982). 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
A contract for maintenance dredging was awarded March 
19, 1985. The dredge Cherokee worked in three parts of 
the harbor. From April 11 thru April 29, 1985 they removed 
557,125 cubic yards from the East River, followed by 
dredging in Mayor's Point Terminal from May 10, 1985 to 
May 15, 1985 by removing 16,424 cubic yards, and finally 
removing 47,288 cubic yards from Turtle River between 
May 16 and May 22, 1985. Under the same contract, the 
dredge Illinois removed 129,548 cubic yards from the 
Turning Basin. 
Expenditures for surveys totaled $178,360, for dikes 
$9,999 for S&I $93,278, and miscellaneous expenses 
$21,196. The District received a credit of $61,877 for 
maintenance dredging in the East River under a 1983 
contract. Also a contractor received $158,097 for 1984 
emergency dredging in the East River. Expenditures for 
Brunswick Ocean Disposal Dump were $90,772.

Mosquito control in disposal areas cost amounted to 
$81,096. Engineering and design costs totaled $233,374. 
We received a $61,877 credit on one East River Dredging 
contract. Total operation and maintenance cost amounted 
to $9,641,199. (See Table 8-A for Cost and Financial 
Statement.) 
Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project was 
completed in December 1960. General condition of the 
harbor works is satisfactory, providing maintenance 
dredging continues. The notice on the Final Environmental 
Impact Statement appeared in the Federal Register 
October 3, 1975. 
Costs for existing completed project to September 30, 
1985, were $50,699,185, of which $3,929,968 was for new 
work and $46,769,217 for maintenance. (See Table 8-A 
for Cost and Financial Statement.) 
5. SAVANNAH HARBOR, GA 
Location. Harbor entrance is 75 statute miles south of 
Charleston Harbor, SC, and 70 statute miles north of 
Brunswick Harbor, GA (See NOAA Chart 11512, formerly 
Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 440.) 
Previous projects. For details see page 1810 of Annual 
Report for 1915 and page 578 of Annual Report for 1938. 
Existing project. The project provides for a channel 40 
feet deep and 600 feet wide across the ocean bar about 7.0 
miles; 38 feet deep and 500 feet wide to the Seaboard 
Coast Line terminal; 38 feet deep and 400 feet wide to the

Ports Authority LASH facility. The project also provides 
for sediment control works consisting of a tide gate 
structure across Back River; a sediment basin 40 feet 
deep, 600 feet wide, about 2 miles long, with an entrance 
channel 38 to 40 feet deep and 300 feet wide; a drainage 
canal across Argyle Island 15 feet deep and 300 feet wide; 
control works and canals for supplying fresh water to the 
Savannah National Wildlife Refuge; and facilities to mitigate 
damages to presently improved areas other than 
refuge lands. Mean range of tide is 7.9 feet at the upper 
end of the harbor and 6.9 feet at the lower end. Extreme 
ranges are about 11.1 and 10.7 feet, respectively. 
Local cooperation. Local interests must provide 
suitable spoil areas and retaining dikes for construction 
and future maintenance of the project. The Chatham 
County Commissioners, as local assurers, have met all 
requirements to date. 
Terminal facilities. Sixty-one piers and wharves 
adequately serve existing waterborne commerce of the 
port. These facilities, with use of dolphins, have a combined 
berthing space of 46,930 linear feet with water 
depths alongside ranging up to 38 feet at mean low water. 
Included in the berthing space are six container berths 
with 271 acres of handling area. All have railway and 
highway connections. LASH facilities are located at the 
entrance to the harbor and have depths ranging up to 38 
feet mean low water. The berthing space of LASH 
facilities is included in the above combined berthing 
space. For further details, see Port Series No. 14, Corps of 
Engineers (revised 1982) and Annual Report for 1962. 
Maintenance: Several dredging contracts awarded in 
FY 83 and FY 84 continued in FY 85 and dredging was 
accomplished under another contract awarded in FY 85. 
Under a FY 83 contract the dredge Clinton removed 
1,165,986 cubic yards from the sedimment basin and the 
dredge Dauntless removed 77,453 cubic yards from the

SAVANNAH, GA, DISTRICT 
Mosquito control in disposal areascost $201,331. (Credits 
received from agitation dredging of private shipping 
interest slips amounted to $63,791.) Distribution of 
Engineer Yard cost amounted to $76,748. Condition 
surveys, water quality monitoring, water and air pollution 
studies, environmental studies, testing, inspection and 
reports, and government supervision and administration 
costs were $1,263,833. Total operation and maintenance 
costs for the fiscal year amounted to $10,084,654. (See 
Table 8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 
Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 
incomplete. Training walls, jetties, and other structures 
are in fair condition. Authorized channels are maintained 
by a planned dredging program with work at critical areas 
when necessary. The notice on the Final Environmental 
Impact Statement appeared in the Federal Register June 
25,1976. Notices of availability on two Final Supplements 
to the Environmental Impact Statement appeared in the 
Federal Register September 25, 1978, and January 8, 
1980. 
Costs of existing project to September 30, 1984, were 
$177,834,569, of which $38,925,359 was for new work and 
$138,909,210 for maintenance. (See Table 8-A for Cost 
and Financial Statement.) 
6. SAVANNAH RIVER BELOW 
AUGUSTA, GA 
Location. Savannah River is formed by the confluence 
of the Tugaloo and Seneca Rivers on the boundary line 
between South Carolina and Georgia. It flows southeast 
314 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 page 1813 of Annual 
Report for 1915 and page 581 of Annual Report for 1938. 
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 
miles 187 is ordinarily about 13 feet with an extreme of 34 
feet. Latest approved project cost estimate for providing a 
9-foot channel (September 1963) is $6,576,000 exclusive 
of amounts expended on previous projects. For further 
details see Annual Report for 1962. 
Local cooperation. Complied with to date. 
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. These are supplemented by natural 
landings along the river and extensive facilities at 
Savannah. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Routine maintenance and operation of the New Savannah 
Bluff Lock and Dam and its recreational area, which 
accommodated 340,000 visitors, amounted to $759,005. 
Activity during the year included lock and dam operations 
totaling $105,359 and operation of facilities, roads, and 
equipment at $32,710. Preparation of mobilization plans, 
district office support, and miscellaneous management 
expenses cost $9,519. Periodic inspections and continuing 
evaluation and data gathering expenses were $11,557 
with hydrographic surveys and preparation of navigations 
charts costing another $129,055. Substantial maintenance 
activity in the recreation area cost $467,826. These 
expenses were offset by $2619 in credits for sale of 
property and collection of recreation use fees. (See Table 
8-A for Cost and Financial Statement.) 
Condition at end of fiscal year. In general, openchannel 
works are in good condition. The notice on the 
Final Environmental Impact Statement appeared in the 
Federal Register February 18, 1977. 
Costs of the existing project to September 30, 1985, were 
$22,125,309 of which $6,646,551 was for new work and 
$15,478,758 for maintenance. (See Table 8-A for Cost and 
Financial Statement.)

NAVIGATION PROJECTS 
(See Table 8-C.) 
9. NAVIGATION WORK UNDER 
SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION 
Costs for preauthorization studies totaled $102,017. A 
Detailed Project Report on Bellville Point, GA, was 
submitted in April, 1984. Plans and specifications were 
prepared in January 1985. Costs for Bellville totaled 
$68,037. The Valona, GA, detailed project study was 
continued in FY 85 at a cost of $20,638. Work included 
surveys to obtain data on shoaling patterns, evaluation of 
an upland disposal site, and updating of project benefits. 
The Torras Causeway project was approved in FY 82. 
Plans and specifications were completed in FY 85 at a cost 
of $13,342. Consequently, the main channel of the AIWW 
in the vicinity of the Torras Causeway was relocated from 
the Frederica River to the MacKay River. 
Beach Erosion Control 
10. BEACH EROSION CONTROL WORK 
UNDER SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION 
Erosion control activities pursuant to Section 103, 
Public Law 87-874, as amended (Preauthorization 
Studies). An initial draft appraisal report on Gould's Inlet, 
Glynn County, GA, was completed in September 1984. FY 
85 costs for coordination efforts totaled $1,054. The study 
was terminated because the estimated local share of 
project construction costs was beyond the sponsor's 
ability to participate. An initial appraisal was conducted 
on the shoreline erosion problems at Crooked River State 
Park, GA, at an FY 85 cost of $6,750. In June 1985 OCE 
approved further reconnaissance investigation so the 
cost for preauthorizations studies was $7,804. 
11. TYBEE ISLAND, GA 
Location. Tybee Island is located directly south of 
Savannah River entrance, about 17 miles east of the City 
of Savannah, GA (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. 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 
terminal groin located at the northern end of the island. 
Periodic nourishment will be provided as needed to 
maintain suitable beach dimensions. In 1981, the plan was 
modified and now calls for the addition of a groin at the 
south end and modification and rehabilitation of the north 
rock groin and renourishment. 
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-of way; and relocations; of all items of work 
to be provided by the Corps of Engineers, presently 
estimated at 51.0 percent 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) provide maintenance and 
repair of the groins, and provide, after the first 10 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, (c) provide without cost to the United 
States all lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations 
required for construction and subsequent nourishment of 
the project; (d) hold and save the United States free from 
claims for damages that may result from construction, 
maintenance, and nourishment of the project; (e) control water 
pollution to the extent necessary to safeguard the health 
of bathers; and (f) 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 
8-6

SAVANNAH, GA, DISTRICT 
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. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. The Final Environmental 
Impact Statement was filed with CEQ on November 13, 
1973. The initial construction contract for the terminal 
groin was awarded September 13, 1974 in the amount of 
$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 sandfill along most of the 
entire length (13,300 feet) of ocean beach front. The sand 
was removed by hydraulic pipeline dredge from a massive 
sandbar 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 prior years beach monitoring indicate a 
decreasing or stabilizing erosion rate. The southernmost 
section south of 13th Street has experienced the most 
critical erosion. Total project cost is estimated to be 
$11,500,000, which includes $5,865,000 in non-Federal, 
contributed funds. Costs to date of existing project were 
$2,527,095 (Federal funds) and $2,032,856 (contributed 
funds). (See Table 8-A Cost and Financial Statement.) 
Flood Control 
12. BROADWAY LAKE, ANDERSON 
COUNTY, SC 
Location. The Broadway Lake is located about 4 miles 
of Anderson, South Carolina. It 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 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 
on the west side. The total length of the dam is about 610 
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 
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. The local interests are now making 
the necessary repairs to the dam. 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. The project is

Existing project. The Flood Control Act of 1944 
approved the general plan for comprehensive development 
of the Savannah River Basin for flood control and 
other purposes (H.D. 657, 78th Cong., 2d sess.) and 
authorized construction of the Clarks Hill Project on the 
Savannah River in Georgia and South Carolina as the 
initial step of this development. The Flood Control Act of 
1950 authorized construction of Hartwell Lake under the 
general plan. Trotters Shoals which will replace Goat 
Island and Middleton Shoals was authorized for 
construction by the Flood Control Act of 1966 at an 
estimated cost of $84,900,000. Clarks Hill and Hartwell 
Lakes are the only projects in the comprehensive plan that 
have been constructed. (See Table 8-E on Dams and

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
20. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 
No funds were expended for research and development 
during the fiscal year. 
21. CONTINUATION OF PLANNING 
AND ENGINEERING 
The Savannah Harbor Widening Study under 
Continuation of Planning and Engineering continued 
during the fiscal year and the cost amounted to $139,625. 
The recommended plan provides for modification of the 
harbor by widening the navigation channel between the 
present upstream limit of the 500-foot channel (Fig Island 
Turning Basin) and the Kings Island Turning Basin from 
400 to 500 feet. This will decrease the hazard of handling 
large vessels and reduce shipping transit time. Cost of the 
study to September 30, 1985, was $813,855. 
In FY 85, the Lake Lanier Reregulation Dam Study 
continued under Continuation of Planning and 
Engineering. The cost amounted to $410,895. The 
recommended project is the construction of a reregulation 
dam on the Chattahoochee River, 6.3 miles downriver of 
Buford Dam. Project benefits are hydropower and water 
supply. 
Oates Creek is a major drainage outlet for flood waters 
from an urban area of Augusta, Georgia. A flood control 
study of Oates Creek was authorized and completed as 
part of the Savannah River Basin study. The Oates Creek 
study area is located just south of Augusta in Richmond 
County. 
The recommended plan is a channel and bridge modification 
flood control plan and has received support from 
Federal, State and local governmental agencies with no 
environmental opposition. The local sponsor, Richmond 
County, expressed support for the project and intent to 
participate financially. The plant consists of improvements 
to approximately 12,300 feet of channel and 
consists of concrete-lined channels, grass-lined channels, 
a low levee, modifications of bridges and culverts, and 
relocation of utilities. The CP&E effort began in October 
1983 and consists of preparation of a General Design 
Memorandum estimated to cost about $780,000 and is 
scheduled for completion in September 1986. FY 85 
expenditures were $337,888.

48. CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN FLORIDA 
Location. The project is located generally within 
the southeastern eighteen counties of Florida covering 
an area of about 15,200 square miles. It is comprised 
of the Upper St. Johns River basin in the northeastern 
section of project, Kissimmee River basin 
in central section above the Lake Okeechobee- 
Everglades area in the central and southwestern section, 
and the east coast Everglades area in 
southeastern section. 
Previous projects. Completed works for control of 
Lake Okeechobee were included in and constructed 
under the navigation project for Okeechobee Waterway, 
Fla. (formerly Caloosahatchee River and Lake 
Okeechobee drainage area, Fla.) and under provisions 
of River and Harbor Acts of July 3, 1930, and August 
30, 1935. For further information, see Annual 
Reports, 1948 and 1949. 
Existing project. The authorized project is for flood 
relief and water conservation and provides principally 
for: an east coast protective levee extending from 
the Homestead area north to the eastern shore of 
Lake Okeechobee near the St. Lucie Canal; three 
conservation areas for water impoundment in the 
Everglades area west of the east coast protective 
levee with control structures to effect transfer of 
water as necessary; local protective works along the 
lower east coast; encirclement of the Lake 
Okeechobee agricultural area by levees and canals; 
enlargment of portions of Miami, North New River, 
Hillsboro, and West Palm Beach Canals; enlargement 
of the existing Lake Okeechobee levees and construction 
of new levees on the northeast and northwest 
shore of the lake; increased outlet capacity for improved 
control of Lake Okeechobee; floodway channels 
in the Kissimmee River basin, with suitable control 
structures to prevent over-drainage; an interrelated 
system of canals, levees, pumping stations, 
and structures in southwest Dade County to control 
water levels; and facilities for regulating floods in the 
Upper St. Johns River basin; a system of canals and 
control structures for gravity drainage of Martin 
County and distribution of available water supplies 
to portions of Martin and St. Lucie Counties; and 
works to improve the supply, distribution, and conservation 
of water resources in central and southern 
Florida, including the Lake Okeechobee agricultural 
area, Everglades National Park, and other related 
areas. The project will provide water control and protection 
from recurrence of the devastating floodwaters 
from the Everglades and local sources, for the 
highly developed urban area along the lower east 
coast of Florida and for the productive agricultural 
areas around Lake Okeechobee (including towns 
around lake), in the Upper St. Johns and Kissimmee 
River basins, and in South Dade County. Project also 
provides for navigation improvements suitable for 
recreational craft, consisting of locks and channel 
dredging in the upper Kissimmee and St. Johns 
basins. 
The project includes a total of 990 miles of levees, 
978 miles of canals, 30 pumping plants, 212 floodway 
control and diversion structures, 56 railroad 
bridge relocations, and 2 highway bridge relocations.

for new work amount to $102,600. 
6. BILOXI HARBOR, 
EAST HARRISON COUNTY 
CANAL, MS 
Location. Biloxi Harbor is located on Mississippi 
Sound in southeastern Mississippi, approximately 75 
miles east of New Ori ais, Louisiana, and 45 miles west 
of Mobile Bay, Alabama. The City of Biloxi is situated 
on a peninsula bounded by Mississippi Sound on the 
south, Biloxi Bay on the east, and Back Bay of Biloxi on 
the north. 
Existing project. The project provides for the improvement 
and maintenance of the East Harrison County 
Canal to a 12-foot project depth, 130 feet wide, and 
about 2,100 feet long, and a 300- by 300-foot turning 
basin also to a 12-foot project depth. (See Table 10-B for

project construction in FY 1986. 
7. BLACK WARRIOR AND 
TOMBIGBEE RIVERS, AL 
Location. Black Warrior River rises in northern Alabama 
above Birmingham and flows generally southwesterly 
to unite with the Tombigbee River at Demopolis, 
Alabama. Thence the Tombigbee flows south, uniting 
with the Alabama River to form the Mobile River 45 
miles above the head of Mobile Bay. Distance by water 
from Mobile to the vicinity of Birmingham is about 415 
miles. 
Previous project. For details see page 732, Annual 
Report for 1938. 
Existing project. The authorized project provides essentially 
for a channel 9 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the 
mouth of the Tombigbee River, 45 miles above Mobile, 
to the vicinity of Birmingham, via the Tombigbee and 
Black Warrior Rivers, to mile 430.4 on Sipsey Fork, 
mile 429.6 on Mulberry Fork and mile 407.8 on Locust 
Fork, and for maintenance by snagging of Mobile River 
above the mouth of Chickasaw Creek, a total waterway 
distance of about 408 miles. The total lift of 255 feet is 
accomplished by six locks and dams. The original 
construction program, consisting of 17 dams with 18 
lifts, was completed in 1915. Replacement of the 
original structures with new locks and dams, under the 
modernization program is as follows: William Bacon 
Oliver replaced locks 10, 11, and 12; Demopolis replaced 
locks 4, 5, 6, and 7; Warrior replaced locks 8 and 9; 
Coffeeville (Jackson) replaced locks 1, 2, and 3; and 
Holt replaced locks 13, 14, 15, and 16. Thus, 16 of the 
original locks have been replaced by five new locks. 
Bankhead Lock and Dam (Lock 17) rehabilitation to 
replace the original double lift lock with a single lift lock 
was completed in 1980. The Jackson Lock and Dam 
wildlife refuge, authorized in 1960, includes 4,250 acres 
within the reservoir area and along its boundaries. It is 
proposed to replace Oliver Lock with a lock located 
2,300 feet downstream. The replacement lock would 
have dimensions of 110' x 600'. A fixed crest spillway 
would extend 815 feet across the river. Minimum 
provision will be provided to allow construction of a 
hydropower plant. (See Table 10-B for authorizing 
legislation.) 
Tidal influence extends upstream from Mobile 101.6 
miles to the old lock 1, where tidal effect is apparent 
only at low stages of the river. At Mobile the mean and 
extreme tidal ranges are 1.5 and 3.6 feet, respectively. 
These are at times slightly increased by the effect of 
winds. The greatest fluctuation of river stages is at 
Demopolis, Ala., the maximum being 59.7 feet. Maximum 
fluctuations at other points are 40 feet at lock 
1,100.6 miles from Mobile; 57.8 feet at Tuscaloosa, 
346.1 miles from Mobile; 13 feet at Birmingport, 404.9 
miles from Mobile; and 27 feet at Cordova, 424.3 miles 
from Mobile. Ordinary fluctuations at these points are 
at old lock 1, 20 feet; at Demopolis, 35 feet; at 
Tuscaloosa, 40 feet; at Birmingport, four feet; and at 
Cordova, seven feet. Works of improvement reduced 
the amount of fluctuations at different points by three to 
10 feet. 
Local cooperation. Requirements of local cooperation 
have been fully complied with to date. 
Terminal facilities. Docks, storage facilities, and 
handling equipment have been provided as required at 
most loading and unloading points along the waterway. 
These include facilities for handling petroleum and 
petroleum products, coal, ores, sand and gravel, pulpwood, 
manufactures, and various other commodities. 
While most terminal facilities are privately owned, 
many are available for use by the general public. 
Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 
(See Table 10-N for existing locks and dams.)

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
legislation. 
Local cooperation. Local interests must make and 
maintain alterations in highways and highway bridges 
and in sewer, water-supply, and drainage facilities and 
provide and maintain suitable and adequate river and 
canal terminals. Officials of the State of Mississippi 
were notified of these requirements on December 13, 
1949, and officials of the State of Alabama were notified 
on December 20, 1949. Legislation enabling boards of 
supervisors of the various counties concerned to enter 
into agreements with the United States relative to 
navigation projects was adopted by the State of Mississippi 
in 1950. A compact between the States of Alabama, 
Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Florida has been 
formed for the purpose of promoting the project. The 
name of this organization is the Tennessee-Tombigbee 
Waterway Development Authority. 
During its 1962 session the Mississippi Legislature 
authorized the formation of the Tombigbee River 
Valley Water Management District. The District was 
organized in accordance with the enabling legislation 
and is empowered to fulfill the requirements of local 
coooperation for the portion of the project in Mississippi. 
A satisfactory resolution has been furnished. Durings 
its 1967 session the Alabama Legislature authorized 
formation of a public corporation to be named the 
Tombigbee Valley Development Authority for the 
purpose of further development of the Tombigbee River 
and tributary streams. The organization was formed in 
accordance with the enabling legislation and in a 
referendum held 5 December 1967 the voters of Alabama 
authorized a bond issue not to exceed $10,000,000 to 
finance participation in this project and the Tombigbee 
River and Tributaries project. A satisfactory resolution 
has been furnished. 
Terminal facilities. Docks, storage facilities and handling 
equipment are still being developed along this new 
waterway. As of September 30, 1985, only six such 
facilities were operational, while eight were under 
construction, and 10 more are planned. The operational 
facilities are handling grain, wood chips, and logs. 
When all facilities are complete, about half will be 
publicly owned and operated. Additional ports and 
terminals must be completed before the waterway can 
achieve its full potential. (See Table 10-N for existing 
locks and dams.

45. INTERSTATE 20 BRIDGES 
OVER PEARL RIVER 
JACKSON, MS 
Location. The Pearl River drains an 8,760 square 
mile area covering most of the south central Mississippi 
and a small part of southeastern Louisiana. From its 
source in Neshoba County, Mississippi, the Pearl River 
flows southwesterly about 130 miles to Jackson, Mississippi, 
where it is crossed by Interstate 20 at mile 286.6, 
the location of the streambank erosion protection 
project. 
Existing project. The project provided for the protection 
of the bridge which was endangered by erosion 
occurring on both banks of the river. The right overbank 
was being eroded primarily by flood flows. During 
high water flow cut across the inside of a small bend in 
the river at the bridge and was developing what 
appeared to be a small chute cut-off. Piers in the overbank 
near the main rive span were in the path of the 
developing cut-off and would have been endangered if 
left unprotected. Protective works constructed on the 
right bank consist of two dikes, one located about 270 
feet upstream of the westbound lane and second about 
410 feet upstream of this lane. These dikes are designed 
to direct flow toward the opposite bank. They are rockfill 
structures with side slopes of I vertical to 1.5 
horizontal and top widths of three feet. The two dikes 
were placed on filter cloth and extend perpendicular to 
the bank about 90 feet and 175 feet, respectively. 
Protection against scour at the landward end of the 
dikes is provided by a 24-inch layer of riprap on a 
12-inch bedding layer underlain by filter cloth. Direct 
protection of piers in the path of the developing cut-off 
is provided by a 24-inch layer of riprap on bedding 
material and filter cloth. The riprap blanket is approximately 
100 feet by 125 feet and protects three bridge 
bents. Additional protection is provided for these bents 
by a small 60-foot long dike placed perpendicular to an 
overbank drain downstream of the developing cut-off 
and adjacent to the bridge pier riprap. The left bank was 
already suffering some erosion because it is on the 
outside of a natural bend in the river, and the dike 
construction was expected to increase the local left bank 
velocities. Erosion on the left bank was prevented by 
construction of a 24-inch layer of riprap on a layer of 
bedding material and filter cloth. The riprap is about 
750 feet long and extends from about 200 feet upstream 
of the westbound lane to 110 feet downstream of the 
eastbound lane. Construction of the streambank erosion 
protection project was performed by the Mississippi 
State Highway Department with U.S. Government 
furnished materials. (See Table 10-B for authorizing 
legislation.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with and project 
turned over to local sponsor to maintain. 
Operation and results during fiscal year. New work.

(See Section 42 of Text) 
The project provides restoration and stabilization along the 
right descending bank of the bridge. The stabilization 
would consist of 24 inches of riprap on 6 inches of 
bedding material and a filter fabric. The riprap 
placement would begin approximately 140 feet 
downstream of the centerline of the bridge and 
extehd upstream along the right descending bank 
for 330 feet. 
WOLF CREEK, U.S. HIGHWAY 362 BRIDGE, 
PRENTISS COUNTY, MS (See Section 43 of Text)

placed just downstream of each bridge. 
INTERSTATE 20 BRIDGES OVER PEARL RIVER JACKSON, MS 
(See Section 45 of Text) 
Two dikes were constructed on the right bank which are 
designed to direct flow toward the opposite bank. They are 
rock-fill structures with side slopes of I vertical on 1.5 
horizontal and top widths of 3 feet. They are placed on 
filter cloth. Erosion on the left bank was prevented by 
construction of a 24-inch layer of riprap on a layer of 
beddint material and filter cloth. 
INTERSTATE 59 BRIDGES, FOSTERS, AL 
(See Section 46 of Text) 
The project provides streambank protective measures at the 
bridges. Bank stabilization would consist of placing riprap 
along a 195-foot reach of the left descending bank 
at the bridge.

1. GULF INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY 
BETWEEN APALACHEE BAY, FL, 
AND MEXICAN BORDER 
(NEW ORLEANS DIST.) 
Location. Section of Gulf Intracoastal Waterway 
within New Orleans District extends from Lake Borgne 
Light 29 near mouth of Rigolets, to Sabine River, LA, 
and TX. Section from Lake Borgne Light 29 to Mississippi 
River follows Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain to 
lake end of State-owned Inner Harbor Navigation 
Canal, thence via this canal to Mississippi River, a 
distance of 40.5 miles. Public Law 675, 77th Cong., 
modified project to provide for a land cut through 
marsh from Rigolets to a point on Inner Harbor Navigation 
Canal about 22.5 miles from Mississippi River, 
eliminating passage through Lake Pontchartrain and 
five drawbridges, a distance of 30.8 miles to Mississippi 
River by this route. From Inner Harbor Navigation 
Canal to entrance of Harvey Lock, route follows Mississippi 
River for 5.5 miles. Section from Mississippi 
River to Atchafalaya River, LA, leaves Mississippi 
River through Harvey Lock about 3.3 miles above 
Canal Street and follows Harvey Canal No. 1 and 
Bayou Barataria to Bayou Villars, a land cut south of 
Lake Salvador to Harvey Canal No. 2, Harvey Canal 
No. 2 to Larose, LA, and a land cut to Houma, LA, 
thence over a land cut south of Bayous Black and 
Cocodrie, thence through Bayou Cocodrie and a land 
cut to Bayou Black; thence through Bayous Black, 
Chene, and Boeuf to Atchafalaya River, about 0.5 mile 
south of Morgan City, LA, a total of 95.5 miles. Alternative 
connection with Mississippi River near Algiers, 
LA, about 10.3 miles below Harvey Lock, consisting of 
a lock and land cut about 9 miles long intersecting 
Intracoastal Waterway at about mile 6 is complete. An 
alternative route from Mississippi River follows Bayou 
Plaquemine passing Indian Village, LA, and continuing 
on through lower Grand River to and through a lock at 
Bayou Sorrel in East Atchafalaya Basin protection 
levee, thence through levee borrow pit to Berwick Bay; 
and thence through Berwick Bay to Morgan City, LA, 
a total of 56 miles. This alternative route was enlarged 
from vicinity of Morgan City to Indian Village, LA, 
and extended from Indian Village, LA, through 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, a total of 65 miles. Section 
from Atchafalaya River to Vermilion River, LA, begins 
at western end of Mississippi-Atchafalaya section and 
follows Atchafalaya River about 2.5 miles, portions of 
Little Wax Bayou, Possum Bayou, cutoffs, a land cut 
passing through North Bend Plantation to Bayou 
Bartholomew, Bayou Bartholomew to Little Bay, a 
land cut skirting north edge of Cote Blanche Island and 
west edge of Weeks Island to Vermilion River, about 24 
miles below Abbeville, LA, a total of about 63.6 miles. 
Franklin Canal, St. Mary Parish, LA, extends southwesterly 
from Franklin, LA, on Bayou Teche, for 5.5 
miles to Bayou Portage, a section of "The Inland 
Waterway from Franklin to the Mermentau River, 
LA," and through bayou for 0.75 mile to Gulf Intracoastal 
Waterway, 121 miles west of Harvey Lock. 
Section from Vermilion River to Mermentau River, 
LA, begins at western end of Atchafalaya-Vermilion 
section and follows Vermilion River 1.3 miles, a part of 
Schooner Bayou Cutoff canal, and a land cut running 
generally northwesterly to Mermentau River at a point 
about 0.5 mile above its entrance into Grand Lake and 
about 16 miles below town of Lake Arthur, LA, a total 
of about 42.7 miles. Vermilion Lock was constructed 
about 1.75 miles west of Vermilion River to prevent 
ingress of saltwater from Vermilion Bay. Section from 
Mermentau River to Calcasieu River, LA, begins at 
western end of Vermilion-Mermentau section and 
follows Mermentau River upstream for about 1.5 miles, 
a land cut running west-southwesterly to Lake Misere, 
passing north of lake and Bayou Misere, westerly to 
Sweet Lake, south and west of Sweet Lake, northwesterly 
to Bayou Tete Bois, through Bayou Tete Bois, 
Black Bayou, and cutoffs to a point on Calcasieu River 
about 16.6 miles below city of Lake Charles, LA, a total 
of about 37.1 miles. Calcasieu Lock was constructed 
near intersection of Calcasieu River and Intracoastal 
Waterway, mile 238 west of Harvey Lock, Calcasieu 
Parish, about 16.6 miles below Lake Charles, LA. 
Section from Calcasieu River to Sabine River, LA and 
TX, begins at western end of Mermentau-Calcasieu 
section, and follows Calcasieu River upstream about 
1.6 miles, a land cut running southwesterly 2.8 miles, 
thence west 22 miles to Sabine River at a point about 3 
miles below Orange, TX, a total of about 27.1 miles.

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 Contol, Mississippi River 
and Tributaries," thence through Lower Grand River 
to Indian Village, anrd 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 $157,833,827 Federal 
and $27,535,000 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 1980), $115,068,531 Federal and 
$23,100,000 non-Federal, including $73,700,000 Federal 
and $21,500,000 non-Federal for modification (authorized 
by Public Law 87-874), October 1962. In addition, 
the Coast Guard is to provide navigation aids at an 
estimated cost of $32,000. 
Construction of bulkheads and jetties at Lake Borgne 
and Chef Menteur, LA, is considered inactive and 
excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated cost 
(1956) of this item is $440,000. Construction of a doubleleaf 
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-C 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 
11-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
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. The project 
was renamed "Leland Bowman Lock (Replacement)" 
by House Resolution 4284 dated Sep. 21, 1981 (House 
Report 97-234). 
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. The Board of Commissioners has stated that it is 
willing to negotiate the transfer of the Inner Harbor 
Navigation Canal and Lock to the United States on a 
date earlier than that of the lease termination. The 
Government is considering their proposal. At Morgan 
City, on Atchafalaya River, there are two large and 
three small wharves open to all without charge. Otherwise, 
facilities are considered adequate for existing 
commerce. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance 
by hired labor: Real estate activities, condition 
and operation studies, condition surveys, stream gaging, 
and channel patrol. Locks, bridges, and waterways 
were operated and maintained. 
Fender systems were repaired at Algiers, Calcasieu, 
Harvey, Port Allen, and Vermilion Locks. Work by 
hired labor consisted of major repairs to the Algiers 
Lock. Miscellaneous repairs were made to the Florida 
Avenue Bridge, Vermilion, Harvey, and Port Allen 
Locks. 
Dredge operations were required at Harvey, Industrial, 
Port Allen and Bayou Sorrel locks. The main 
stem channel was dredged in the Atchafalaya - Vermilion 
River section and at Wax Lake Crossover by two 
contracts. Channel maintenance included the removal 
of 2,784,511 cubic yards of material at a cost of 
$16,523,717. 
Construction was initiated on Oct. 15, 1981 for replacement 
of Leland Bowman Lock (Vermilion) and is 
100 percent complete. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated 
July 1929 and project, as modified, is 55 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. 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. 
2. LELAND BOWMAN LOCK, LA 
(REPLACEMENT OF LOCK) 
(FORMERLY VERMILION 
LOCK, LA) 
Location. In the Louisiana section of the Gulf Intracoastal 
Waterway near Abbeville, Vermilion Parish, 
LA, about 163 miles west of Harvey Lock. 
Existing project. The present Leland Bowman Lock, 
located in the most heavily utilized section of the Gulf 
Intracoastal Waterway, is the controlling structure in 
both width and depth. The lock is used for navigation 
and flood control (prevention of salt water intrusion). 
The tumbler-type gates are unsatisfactory for the dual 
purpose. (Flood Control-Navigation) operation required, 
since once the gates are lowered to pass flood flows, 
they cannot be safely raised until the differential stage 
across the lock is reduced to about 0.5 foot. The replacement 
lock also will provide a larger and more efficient 
outlet for floodwaters. Estimated cost for new work 
(October 1982) is $32,200,000 Federal and $240,000 
non-Federal. The project was renamed "Leland Bowman 
Lock (Replacement)" by House Resolution 4284 
dated Sep. 21, 1981 (House Report 97-234.) 
Local cooperation. Provide all lands, easements and 
rights-of-way for construction of the project and hold 
and save the United States free from damages due to 
construction and maintenance works. The Vermilion 
Parish Police Jury furnished assurances covering all 
requirements of local cooperation, including PL 91-611 
and PL 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. 
Amended assurances of local cooperation were accepted 
on behalf of the United States by the Secretary of the 
Army on Jul. 5, 1977. The Vermilion Parish Police 
Jury on May 26, 1981 granted right of entry for 
construction of project. 
Terminal facilities. None. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction 
was initiated Oct. 15, 1981. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The project is 99 percent 
complete. 
3. MERMENTAU RIVER, LA 
Location. Work covered by this project is 35 to 70 
miles southeast of Lake Charles, LA, along lower 
11-4

NEW ORLEANS, LA, DISTRICT 
Mermentau River below Grand Lake, mile 25, to Gulf 
of Mexico; Inland Waterway from Vermilion Bay to 
White Lake, White Lake to Grand Lake, and from 
Schooner Bayou to Intracoastal Waterway-Gulf section 
(Schooner Bayou Cutoff); North Prong of Schooner 
Bayou; and waterway from White Lake to Pecan Island, 
LA, and artificial canal, extending from 5-foot-depth 
contour in White Lake, almost due south for about 1.8 
miles to Pecan Island. (Refer to Coast Charts Nos. 
11344 and 11349, NOAA Small-Craft Chart No. 11348 
on the Intracoastal Waterway, Geological Survey maps, 
Sweet Lake, Hog Bayou, Grand Lake West, Grand 
Lake East, Constance Bayou, 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 sector-gated 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 1982) is $6,570,000 Federal and $840,000 
non-Federal, including $250,000 contributed funds. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. For details 
see page 1022, Annual Report FY 1948. 
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 quality studies. 
Maintenance dredging in the gulf entrance channel 
was completed Jan. 27, 1985, with the removal of 
695,536 cubic yards of material at a cost of $1,981,824. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction of project 
began April 1947 and 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. 
4. MISSISSIPPI RIVER, 
BATON ROUGE TO 
GULF OF MEXICO, LA 
Location. This reach of the river flows southeasterly 
through southeastern portion of Louisiana. At Head of 
Passes, approximately 233.1 miles below Louisiana 
Highway Commission bridge at Baton Rouge, river 
branches into three main passes: Southwest Pass, South 
Pass, and Pass a Loutre, two of which, Southwest Pass 
and South Pass, are improved under existing project. 
Head of Passes to mouths of Southwest and South 
Passes are 20.1 and 13.5 miles, respectively. Mouth of 
Southwest Pass is 141 miles west of Mobile, AL, and 
349 miles east of Galveston, TX. Mouth of South Pass is 
18.5 miles northeast of mouth of Southwest Pass. (Refer

as follows: Between a line one-tenth mile below Louisiana 
Highway Commission bridge at Baton Rouge 129.3 
miles to upper port limits of New Orleans, 40 by 500 
feet mean low water; within limits of port of New 
Orleans, where that authority has jurisdiction over 
both banks of river, a distance of 17.8 miles, 35 by 1,500 
feet, measured from a line generally 100 feet from face 
of left bank wharves, but not closer than 100 feet to 
wharves on right bank; within 35- by 1,500-foot channel 
in port limits of New Orleans, 40 by 500 feet; from 
lower limits of port of New Orleans 86.7 miles to Head

ends of jetties, 13.5 miles, 30 by 450 feet; and 1.2 miles 
in the South Pass bar channel, 30 by 600 feet. Plane of 
reference below New Orleans is mean low gulf. Plane 
of reference above and through New Orleans is low 
water reference plane. General plan of improvement of 
Southwest Pass provides for constructing pass to uniform 
cross section with about 1,420-foot surface width 
by means of jetties, spur dikes, and bulkheads; for 
channel maintenance by dredging from Cubits Gap, 
mile 3.5 AHP through the gulf entrance channel, mile 
21.5 BHP; for construction of small revetted openings 
through narrow portions of banks of pass for purpose of 
strengthening and nourishment of banks; for closure of 
minor outlets not required for maintenance of banks; 
for construction of sills to prevent enlargement of the 
Venice Jump and Cubits Gap; for repairs to sill across 
Pass a Loutre and bank revetment at Head of Passes; 
for construction of dikes with a view to reducing width 
of river above Head of Passes; for construction of a 
submerged deflecting dike above Head of Passes; and 
for other minor work. East jetty is about 24,950 feet 
long and west jetty 19,699 feet. Jetties are composed of 
a substructure of brush mattresses, orginally built to 
about elevation of mean low gulf, surmounted with a 
superstructure of concrete blocks and large riprap 
and/or stone rubble mound of core and cover stone. 
Spur dikes are constructed of round timber piles and/or 
triangular prestressed concrete piles, with riprap at 
the landward ends to connect the dikes to the bank line. 
General plan of improvement of South Pass provides 
for construction and maintenance of jetties and spur 
dikes; for channel maintenance by dredging from Head 
of Passes through the Gulf Entrance Channel beyond 
mile 13.5 BHP; maintenance of a sill across Pass a 
Loutre, and for seaward extension of east jetty at 
mouth of pass; removal of west dike and construction of 
spur dikes and bank revetment at Head of Passes; 
removal of false point at head of South Pass to bottom 
elevation of minus 45 feet and revetment of new bank 
line and construction and maintenance of east and west 
headland structure at Head of Passes. East jetty 
foundation is 12, 070 feet long; inner east jetty is 11,170 
feet long; west jetty is 7,820 feet long; and inner west 
jetty is 4,710 feet long. Jetties are composed of a 
substructure of brush mattresses surmounted by a 
superstructure of stone and/or concrete blocks and 
large riprap. Plane of reference is mean low gulf. 
Variation of water surface is 16 inches at mouths and 
10 inches at head of the passes, due to tides. Extreme 
range of tides at mouths of passes due to hurricanes in 
about 10 feet. At New Orleans extreme range of water 
surface is about 20 feet due to floods. At Baton Rouge 
extreme range is about 45 feet due to floods. 
Estimated cost of existing project (October 1984) is 
$291,700,000 Federal. In addition, Coast Guard is to 
provide navigation aids at an estimated cost of $1,222,800. 
Local cooperation. None required, except for modification 
of project in connection with Mississippi River- 
Gulf Outlet, which is reported separately. 
Terminal facilities. Piers, wharves, or docks serve 
the Port of New Orleans. Most wharves on east or left 
bank parallel riverbank forming nearly a continuous 
covered quay about 10 miles long. Public wharves 
controlled by Board of Commissioners, Port of New 
Orleans (the Dock Board), cover 62 percent of improved 
waterfront. These facilities include a shipside grain 
elevator, general cargo and cotton wharves, fruit 
landings, bunkering facilities, terminal warehouses, 
railroad terminals, marine railways, and drydocks. 
(For further details see Port Series No. 20, "The Port of 
New Orleans, LA" revised 1977.) A foreign trade zone 
is located in Port of New Orleans. City of Baton Rouge 
has a reinforced concrete dock for deep-sea vessels with 
mechanical-handling facility. Attached to downstream 
end of wharf is a floating wharf boat 231 by 40.5 feet, of 
2,000-ton capacity. Facilities are served by a transfer 
boat and municipal terminal having a capacity of 40 
cars per day. Private terminals for handling oil, grain, 
bauxite ore, and other products are at points on both 
sides of river between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. 
Facilities are considered adequate for existing commerce. 
(For further details, see "Port Facilities" included 
in "Flood Control and Navigation Maps of the Mississippi 
River, Cairo, IL, to the Gulf of Mexico, LA," 
published annually by the MRC, and Port Series No. 
19, vol. 1, "Port St. Joe, FL, Pensacola, FL, Baton 
Rouge, LA, and Lake Charles, LA," revised 1979.) 
Operations and results during fiscal year. The 
Supplement II to the GDM and the environmental 
impact statement (EIS) for this supplement are 
scheduled to be completed in January 1985.

headland crib dike at a total cost of $500,060. 
(e) Wheeler Wharf at Venice: Modification and repairs 
to the wharf were performed by hired labor units 
at a cost of $345,180. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The existing project is 50 
percent complete. Deepening Southwest Pass to 40 feet 
mean low gulf, as authorized by the modification of 
Mar. 2, 1945, was completed in September 1963. 
Deepening the channel to 40 feet mean low water from 
Baton Rouge to New Orleans and to 40 feet mean low 
gulf in New Orleans Harbor, as authorized by the 
modifications of Oct. 23, 1962, was completed in August 
1963. The initial contract for the foreshore dike between 
Mile 0.5 and Mile 3.0 on the right descending bank

OUTLET, LA 
Location. In State of Louisiana and extends from 
existing Inner Harbor Navigation Canal at a point 
7,500 feet north of existing lock and about 11,000-feet 
from Mississippi River, to a turning basin south of 
Michoud, LA, and then as a land and water cut from 
turning basin south of Michoud, LA, southeasterly to 
and along south shore of Lake Borgne and through 
marshes to and through Chandeleur Sound to 38-foot 
contour in Gulf of Mexico. (Refer to NOAA Coast 
Charts Nos. 11340, 11360, 11363, 11369, 11371, and 
11373. Also see MRC 1980 (48th edition) folio of maps, 
Mississippi River-Cairo, IL, to Gulf of Mexico, LA.) 
Existing project. Provides for a seaway canal, 36 by 
500 feet, extending 76 miles as a land and water cut 
from Michoud southeasterly to and along south shore of 
Lake Borgne, and across Chandeleur Sound to Chandeleur 
Island and increasing gradually to 38 by 600 
feet in Gulf of Mexico, with protective jetties at entrance, 
a permanent retention dike through Chandeleur 
Sound, and a wing dike along islands as required. It 
also provides for an inner tidewater harbor consisting 
of 1,000- by 2,000-foot turning basin 36 feet deep at 
landward end of seaway canal, and a connecting channel 
36 by 500 feet wide extending westerly along Gulf 
Intracoastal Waterway from turning basin to Inner 
Harbor Navigation Canal, including construction of a 
suitable highway bridge with approaches to carry 
Louisiana State Highway 47 (formerly 61) over channel. 
Plan further provides for future construction of a channel 
and lock in the vicinity of Meraux to furnish an 
additional connection between tidewater harbor and 
Mississippi River. Estimated cost for new work (October 
1985) is $489,000,000 Federal and $225,300,000 
non-Federal. This does not include modification for 
Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, Michoud Canal, which is 
reported separately. The Federal cost excludes $45,000 
for aids to navigation by U.S. Coast Guard. 
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 conveying to the United States title to 
remaining tracts. Supplemental assurances reflecting 
the changes made necessary by enactment of the Water 
Resources 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 newcontainer 
ship berths have begun operation at the 
Industrial Canal end of the seaway. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work by hired labor: Engineering environmental and 
economic studies were completed for the new lock and 
connecting channels feature. One contract for foreshore 
protection, south bank, Chalmette Area, station 367 to 
1007 was awarded in June 1985. 
Maintenance dredging under three contracts in the 
Gulf Entrance Channel, Breton Sound and Michoud 
Canal include the removal of 6,072,091 cubic yards of 
material at a cost of $4,515,392. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction was initiated 
Mach 1958 and entire project is 75 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, construction of new 
ship lock, raising and extending dikes, is in a deferred 
status and construction of foreshore protection is 
scheduled to be initiated in June 1985. 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. These recommendations are being 
addressed in an Evaluation Report scheduled for completion 
in FY 1986. The foreshore protection is one 
percent complete.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
6. 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. (Refer to NOAA Coast Chart 
No. 1361.) 
Existing project. Provides for additional navigation 
outlets in the vicinity of Venice, LA, by enlargement of 
the existing channels of Baptiste Collette Bayou and 
Grand-Tiger Passes to 14 by 150 feet with entrance 
channels in open water 16 by 250 feet and jetties to the 
6-foot-depth contour, if and when justified, to reduce 
cost of maintenance dredging. Existing project was 
completed at a cost of $10,008,400. 
Local cooperation. For details see page 11-17, 
Annual Report, FY 1980. 
Assuring Agency: Plaquemines Parish Commission 
Council. Basic assurances for the project have been 
furnished. Amended assurances covering Public Laws 
91-646 and 91-611 were received on Aug. 5, 1977. 
Terminal facilities. In the Venice area, each operator 
of a construction, repair, or supply facility provides 
dock and transfer facilities to meet his own needs or 
arranges to use those of another. These facilities are 
considered adequate for the anticipated traffic. If new 
industry or supply facilities are established, they would 
provide any needed terminal facilities for their use. 
Ample areas for future expansion are available. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired 
labor work consisted of reconnaisance surveys, condition 
and operation, stream gaging and engineering studies. 
One contract for maintenance dredging at Baptiste 
Collette Bar Channel, was completed Oct. 13, 1985, and 
one at Tiger Pass completed Oct. 16, 1985, included the 
removal of 3,102,679 cubic yards at a cost of $2,881,422. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The project is 100 percent 
complete. 
7. TANGIPAHOA RIVER, LA 
Location. The river originates in the State of Mississippi 
and flows southerly to Lake Pontchartrain, LA, 
about 119 miles. (Refer to NOAA Coast Chart No. 
11369 and MRC alluvial valley map, Ponchatoula 
quadrangle.) 
Existing project. Improvement by removing overhanging 
trees, snags, and obstructions to navigation 
for 53.5 miles above mouth, and provide an 8- by 100- 
foot entrance channel from the 8-foot depth contour in 
the lake to the 8-foot depth in the river. Variation in 
water surface is from 3 to 20 feet in the upper reaches 
due to freshets and from 2 to 5 feet in the lower reach 
due to winds and tides. The cost of existing project was 
$61,211, Federal (including $11,500 for previously 
completed portion and $49,711 for preauthorization 
studies and modification adopted under Sec. 107, 1960 
River and Harbor Act, as amended) and $29,346 contributed 
funds for the modification. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed 
work. 
Terminal facilities. None required. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired 
labor forces conducted reconnaissance surveys and 
prepared plans and specifications. 
8. WATERWAY FROM 
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY 
TO BAYOU DULAC, LA (Bayous 
Grand Caillou and LeCarpe, LA) 
Location. Bayou LeCarpe is a tidal stream which 
rises about 1.5 miles southeast of Houma in Terrebonne 
Parish and flows southerly into Bayou Pelton, thence 
into Bayou Grand Caillou, which flows southwesterly 
into Caillou Bay, a total distance of about 40 miles. 
(Refer to Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart, No. 1116 
and Geological Survey maps of Houma, Dulac, Bayou 
DuLarge, and Dog Lake quadrangles.) 
Existing project. As modified, provides for a 10- by 
45-foot channel in Bayou LeCarpe from Gulf Intracoastal 
Waterway 2.6 miles to Houma navigation canal; 
a 5- by 40-foot channel through Bayou Pelton and 
Bayou Grand Caillou to Bayou Dulac, a distance of 
about 13.7 miles. Between miles 2.6 and 5, this project 
coincides with or is adjacent to 15- by 150-foot Houma 
navigation canal. Normal range of tide is 3 to 10 inches; 
from winds, 1 to 3 feet. Cost of new work, completed in 
August 1964, was $129,662. 
Local cooperation. Local interests must furnish 
lands, easements, and rights-of-way necessary for 
enlargement and subsequent maintenance of Bayou 
LeCarpe and of aids to navigation, and provide alterations 
to facilities, and hold the United States free from 
damage. Assurances were furnished and accepted. 
Local agency made available spoil areas for maintenance 
dredging of Bayou LeCarpe. None of these areas 
will be transferred to the United States. Meeting are 
continuing with local interests to resolve problems 
with their required cash contribution on total project 
cost. 
Terminal facilities. Many terminal and transfer 
facilities are in Houma and along waterways which 
flow through area between Houma and Gulf of Mexico. 
All facilities are privately owned and operated. Facilities 
are adequate for existing commerce and for 
reasonably prospective commerce. Ample space exists 
for expansion of existing facilities or for construction of 
new wharves and appurtenances. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Hired 
labor consisted of real estate activities, reconnaissance 
surveys, and water quality studies. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The 5- by 40-foot channel 
was constructed from January 1938 to August 1938, 
and modification of October 23, 1962, for enlargement 
of 2.54 miles of Bayou LeCarpe to 10 feet by 45 feet was 
initiated in May and completed August 1964.

Flood Control 
10. GRAND ISLE AND VICINITY, LA 
Location. In south Jefferson Parish, LA, along the 
Gulf of Mexico, about 50 miles south of New Orleans 
and 45 miles northwest of southwest pass (Mississippi 
River). 
Existing project. The project provides protection 
from waves driven by hurricanes that have a frequency 
of recurrence of up to once in every 50 years. The plan 
consists of a berm and vegetated dune extending the 
length of Grand Isle's gulf shore and a jetty to stabilize 
the western end of the island at Caminada Pass. The 
dune would have a 10-foot-wide crown at an elevation 
of 11.5 feet mean sea level, 1 on 5 side slopes, and 
protective vegetation. The sandfill berm would slope 
from an elevation of 8.5 feet mean sea level at the toe of 
the dune 180 feet gulfward to an elevation of 3 feet 
mean sea level and, from this point, would assume its 
natural slope to the offshore bottom. The jetty provided 
by the plan has a top width of 6 feet at an elevation of 4 
feet mean sea level, 1 on 2 side slopes, and extends 
approximately 2,600 feet along the western end of the 
island at Caminada Pass. Estimated cost of project 
(October 1985) is $9,090,000 Federal and $7,761,000 
non-Federal, including $2,110,000 contributed funds. 
Local cooperation. Local interests have the responsibility 
of providing rights-of-way, 30 percent of hurricane 
protection costs, 75 percent of beach erosion costs, 
and operation and maintenance of the completed work. 
The Louisiana Legislature, by Act 833 of 1982, authorized 
the Office of Public Works of the Louisiana 
Department of Transportation and Development to 
provide the non-Federal assurances for the Grand Isle 
Hurricane Protection and Beach erosion project. On 
Jan. 11, 1983, the Louisiana State Government authorized 
the Office of Public Works to execute the required 
assurance's as a co-sponsor with the Town of Grand Isle. 
The required assurances were executed on Mar. 16, 
1983, the construction rights-of-way were provided on 
May 4, 1983, and local interest provided a cash contribution 
of $2,110,000 on Jun. 1, 1983. Maintenance of 
the project is the responsibility of the local assurer. The 
local assurer will receive Federal aid for repairing 
erosion and other damage to the project for a period of 
15 years. The average annual Federal maintenance 
cost identified in the Act of Assurances is $44,000; 
however, this is not a fixed amount. Periodic nourishment 
to repair erosion will not necessarily be conducted 
every year, but as needed, with an estimated frequency 
of one in eight years on the average. It is estimated that 
the Federal share of the maintenance cost will be 25 
percent for the 15-year period. 
Operations and results during the fiscal year. The 
dredging contract for beach erosion was completed 
Aug. 26, 1985, with the placing of 2,970,000 cubic 
yards of hydraulic fill at a total cost of $8,640,000. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The project is 100 percent 
complete. 
11. LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN 
AND VICINITY, LA 
(HURRICANE PROTECTION) 
Location. In southeastern Louisiana, vicinity of New 
Orleans, in St. Charles, Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, 
and St. Tammany Parishes, comprising lower land and 
water area between Mississippi River alluvial ridge 
and the Pleistocene escarpment to north and west. The 
dominant topographic feature is Lake Pontchartrain, a 
shallow landlocked tidal basin, about 640 square miles 
in area and averaging 12 feet deep, connecting with 
lesser Lake Maurepas to the west and through Lake 
Borgne and Mississippi Sound to the gulf to the east. 
The lake drains about 4,700 square miles of tributary 
area. (Refer to Geological Survey quadrangles Yscloskey 
and Malheureaux Point, Drum Bay, Door Point, Lake 
Eugenie, Oak Mound Bayou, Mitchell Keys, Lake Eloi, 
and Morgan Harbor; Engineer quadrangles Slidell, 
Covington, Ponchatoula, Springfield, Denham Springs, 
Donaldsonville, Mt. Airy, Bonnet Carr6, Spanish Fort, 
Chef Menteur, Rigolets, St. Bernard, New Orleans, 
and Hahnville; and Coast and Geodetic Survey Charts 
No. 1115 and 1116. 
Existing project. Provides protection to the greater 
New Orleans area and other communities bordering 
Lake Pontchartrain from the effects of hurricanegenerated 
floods. The project is comprised of two major 
features: The Chalmette Area Plan and the High Level 
Plan. The Chalmette Area Plan consists of a levee and 
floodwall system around the Chalmette area and along 
the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, with connections to 
the Mississippi River levees. The High Level Plan will 
provide for heightening and strengthening the existing 
hurricane protection levee systems in Orleans Parish 
and the east bank of Jefferson Parish, repairing and 
rehabilitating the Mandeville Seawall in St. Tammany 
Parish; building a new mainline hurricane levee on the 
east bank of the St. Charles Parish just north of US 
Highway 61 (Airline Highway); raising and strengthening 
the existing levee which extends along the 
Jefferson-St. Charles Parish boundary between Lake 
Pontchartrain and Airline Highway; and deferring 
construction of the proposed Seabrook lock until its 
feasibility as a feature of the Mississippi River Gulf 
Outlet navigation project can be determined. Areas 
which will be enclosed by the levee and floodwall 
construction will be provided protection against tidal 
surge resulting from the Standard Project Hurricane 
(SPH). The estimated project cost for work (October 
11-9

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
1985) is $483,000,000 Federal and $207,000,000 non- 
Federal. 
Local cooperation. Provide all rights-of-way; bear 
30 percent of the first cost, consisting of fair market 
value of providing all lands, easements, and rights-ofway, 
including borrow and spoil disposal areas for 
construction, accomplish alteration and relocation of 
roads, railroads, pipelines, cables, wharves, drainage 
structures, and other facilities; maintain and operate 
all works after completion; and hold and save the 
United States free from damages. See H. Doc. No. 231, 
89th Cong., 1st sess. for more detailed requirements of 
local cooperation. 
Assuring Agency: The Orleans Levee District, Lake 
Borgne Basin Levee District, St. Bernard Parish Police 
Jury, Louisiana Office of Public Works, and Pontchartrain 
Levee District. The State of Louisiana formed the 
Jefferson Levee District and assigned to it the parish 
levees, previously the responsibility of the Pontchartrain 
Levee District. Basic assurances were received 
from the following: Orleans Levee District for the 
entire barrier plan and that portion of the Chalmette 
area plan in Orleans Parish; Pontchartrain Levee 
District for the barrier plan; Lake Borgne Levee 
District and St. Bernard Parish Police Jury for the 
Chalmette area plan in St. Bernard Parish. Supplemental 
assurances covering Public Law 91-646 have 
been received from the Orleans Levee District and the 
Pontchartrain Levee District. Lake Borgne Basin Levee 
District and St. Bernard Parish Police Jury have 
executed the supplemental assurance. The St. Tammany 
Parish portion of the project has been placed in 
an inactive status since the local sponsors have not 
provided acceptable assurances. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Preparation 
of design memorandums and plans and specifications 
continued by hired labor. Citrus Lakefront 
GDM was submitted to higher authority in July 1984. 
Preparation of three design memorandums is underway. 
All are scheduled for completion in FY 85. 
A Draft Reevaluation Report (including Draft Environmental 
Impact Statement) recommending the 
tentatively selected high level plan (lieu of Barrier 
Plan) was submitted by New Orleans District to the 
Lower Mississippi Valley Division in December 1983. 
The final Reevaluation Report was submitted to LMVD 
on Aug. 8, 1984. A Record of Decision is expected to be 
signed in the 2nd Quarter of FY 85 by the Office, Chief 
of Engineers.

13. MORGAN CITY AND 
VICINITY, LA 
(HURRICANE PROTECTION) 
Location. In south-central Louisiana, Morgan City 
proper, and the adjacent areas. It includes the land 
south of Grand Lake, Six Mile Lake, and Lake Palourde 
extending from Morgan City westward to Charenton 
drainage and navigation, canal. Lower Atchafalaya 
River and Wax Lake Outlet, the principal outlets for 
Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, traverse the area. Gulf 
Intracoastal Waterway crosses the area in an east-west 
direction. Numerous bayous and artificial canals excavated 
for drainage purposes or for access to oil developments 
exist throughout the area. (See Engineer 
quadrangles Bayou Sale, Jeanerette, Foster, Belle Isle, 
Point Au Fer, Morgan City, and Lake Decade; and 
Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 1116.) 
Existing project. Morgan City: Construction of 
about 5.6 miles of new levees along shore of Lake 
Palourde and west bank of Bayou Ramos and about 0.5 
mile of new levee from Southern Pacific railroad

areas necessary for the construction of the project, at 
costs presently estimated at $4,768,000; accomplish all 
necessary alterations and relocations to roads, pipelines, 
cables, wharves and other facilities required by the 
construction of the project at costs presently estimated 
at $7,682,000; bear 30 percent of the first cost, a sum 
presently estimated at $234,000,000, and cash contribution 
presently estimated at $57,550,000 to be paid 
either in a lump sum prior to initiation of construction 
or in installments prior to start of pertinent work 
items, in accordance with construction schedules as 
required by the Chief of Engineers, or as a substitute 
for any part of the cash contribution, accomplish in 
accordance with approved construction schedules items 
of work of equivalent value as determined by the Chief 
of Engineers, the final apportionment of costs to be 
made after actual costs and values have been determined; 
hold and save the United States free from 
damages due to the construction works; maintain and 
operate all works after completion in accordance with 
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Army; 
prevent any encroachment on ponding areas unless 
substitute storage capacity or equivalent pumping is 
provided promptly; and at least annually, notify those 
affected that the project will not provide complete 
protection from tidal flooding and that further local 
actions must be taken during hurricane emergencies. 
Local interests are also required to comply with the 
provisions of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and 
Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (PL 91- 
646), in acquiring real property. 
PL 91-611. Not applicable. Construction started prior 
to Jan. 1, 1972. 
PL 91-646. A constitutional amendment was provided 
by the Louisiana legislature on Feb. 1, 1972 allowing 
local interests to comply. The estimated cost to local 
interests is $48,000. 
Assurances of local cooperation for Reaches A, B-1, 
B-2 and C, requested on Jan. 7, 1963, were furnished by 
the Plaquemines Parish Commission Council on Mar. 
6, 1964. Required supporting papers were furnished on 
Mar. 16, 1965 and accepted. Supplemental assurances 
covering the requirements of PL 91-646 were received 
from Plaquemines Parish Commission Council on May 
23, 1973 and accepted on Jun. 20, 1973. 
Assurances for the entire project have been furnished 
and accepted, although they do not specifically mention 
the East Bank Barrier Levee Plan. The scope of the 
project has not changed; however, local interests were 
requested to furnish separate assurances for the East 
Bank Barrier Levee. These assurances have not yet 
been received. 
There was a delay of approximately 26 months in the 
furnishing of assurances by local interests primarily 
because they desired that agreement on levee alignment 
be consummated as fully as possible before giving their 
assurance. Problems of assurance of local cooperation 
have been resolved and rights-of-way were furnished 
for the first two Reach B-1 items of work on Aug. 23, 
1968 and May 20, 1970, respectively. 
All negotiations for relocations are the responsibility 
of local interests. These mainly consist of raising several 
petroleum and natural gas pipelines to the levee configuration 
and relocation of privately owned frame 
structures used as fishing and boating camps. To 
assure that there will be no delay in construction of 
levees, local interests are notified well in advance so 
that the owners of the pipelines can be advised. 
Assuring Agency: Plaquemines Parish Commission 
Council. Assurances for all reaches of the project, except 
the East Bank Barrier levee, have been furnished. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. A GDM 
for the East Bank Barrier levee was initiated during 
FY 1985. Plans and specifications in Reaches B-2, C, 
and the Barrier were initiated and are continuing. 
Reach B-1, Sta. 0+00 to Sta. 100+00 was awarded 
Apr. 24, 1985. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. Construction began on the 
project in September 1968 and the total project is 
approximately 32 percent complete. By letter dated 
Feb. 5, 1985, the local sponsor requested the Corps of 
Engineers to defer further work on the design of Reach 
A and direct efforts toward construction of the East 
Bank Barrier levees. 
15. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED 
FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS 
Various hurricane protection projects, as well as 
small flood control projects, were inspected during FY 
1985. Also, periodic inspection and continuing evaluation 
of completed civil works structures was conducted 
in accordance with ER 1110-2-100, at various times 
during the year on an as-needed basis. 
Fiscal year costs for the period were $226,156. Total 
costs to Sep. 30, 1985, were $1,712,627. 
16. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER

LA. 
Existing project. A dredged harbor channel about 
0.7 mile long and 150 feet wide with a project depth of 9 
feet in Hagaman Chute from the Mississippi River. 
Channel was widened to 400 feet in front of and 
upstream from port area, a distance of 800 feet, to 
provide a turning basin. Local interests constructed 
retaining dikes to provide the disposal area for 
material excavated from channel and turning basin. 
Resulting hydraulic fill provides a raised port area. 
Federal cost of completed work was $198,859, excluding 
preauthorization study costs of $9,678. Total non- 
Federal cost was $233,400, including cost of retaining 
dikes, and a cash contribution of $35,000. In addition, 
local interests have spent $1,022,000 for port facilities. 
Restudy of port for expansion, completed under continuing 
authority program. No further expansion is 
recommended. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Local interests provided port 
facilities. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. The 
contract dredge George D. Williams and the Dredge 
Jadwin removed 683,000 cubic yards of material 
during FY 85. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. No major navigation 
problems exist at the present time. 
3. MADISON PARISH PORT, LA 
Location. A "fast-water" dredged channel located 
near the right descending bank of the Mississippi 
River at mile 457.2 above Head of Passes, and about 6 
miles north of Tallulah, Louisiana. 
Existing project. A dredged harbor channel about 
0.5 mile long and 150 feet wide with a project depth of 9 
feet. A turning basin within this channel was constructed 
by widening the harbor channel to 350 feet for 
a distance of 1,000 feet. Dredged material was used in 
construction of two hydraulic fills on property owned 
by the Madison Parish Port Commission for future 
development. Channel construction was completed in 
October 1980. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Madison Parish Port Commission 
has constructed a multipurpose loading dock, rail 
facilities, and storage building on hydraulic fill. Two 
private interests are engaged in grain handling facilities 
on adjacent properties. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. No 
maintenance dredging was performed during FY 85. 
Condition as of September 30. No major navigation 
problems exist at the present time. 
4. OUACHITA AND BLACK RIVERS 
BELOW CAMDEN, AR 
Location. Ouachita River rises in Polk County, AR, 
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, AR, 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, AR. This is being 
accomplished by construction of four new locks, 84 feet 
by 600 feet; new dams; channel realinement to accommodate 
the 9-foot draft tow; and measures to preserve 
Catahoula Lake for migratory waterfowl. Jonesville 
Lock and Dam replaced Lock and Dam No. 2; 
Columbia Lock and Dam and Dams Nos. 3, 4, and 5; 
Felsenthal Lock and Dam replaced Lock and Dam No. 
6; and Calion Lock and Dam replaced 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. 
Estimated cost for new work for 9-foot navigation 
project is $279,150,000 including $269,000,000 Federal 
and $10,150,000 non-Federal for lands, damages, and 
relocations. 
Local cooperation. Local cooperation for all completed 
work in Louisiana has been furnished in a 
12-2

VICKSBURG, MS, DISTRICT 
timely manner. It is anticipated that local interests in 
Louisiana will be able to supply the necessary rightsof-
way for construction of the cutoffs and bend 
widenings. Local interests in Arkansas have furnished 
the rights-of-way for the Felsenthal and Calion Locks 
and Dams and it is anticipated that the remaining 
rights-of-way will be furnished when needed. The city 
of Camden, AR, has furnished land for the Sandy 
Beach recreation area. All assurances from local 
interests including supplemental assurances (Public 
Law 91-646) have been accepted. 
Terminal facilities. Public loading docks are at 
Columbia, LA, and Camden and Crossetts, AR. 
Privately owned docks and loading and unloading 
facilities are at Columbia, Monroe, and Sterlington, 
LA, and El Dorado, Calion, and Camden, AR. Two 
grain-handling facilities and a petroleum-loading 
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. Construction 
of all the locks and dams in the project are 
now complete. Constructionof the Felsenthal Access 
Channel and Closure Dam was completed in FY 85. 
The construction of Calion Access Channel was discontinued 
due to changed site conditions: A decision 
was made to issue a new construction contract to 
complete the access channel. The plans and specification 
to finish this work were completed in FY 85 and 
construction should begin in early FY 86. The demolition 
contracts for removal of Lock #6 and Lock #8 are 
substantially complete. The federally funded portion of 
Crossett Harbor, AR, was completed in FY 85. 
Redesign of the channel alignment feature was initiated 
in FY 85 with completion scheduled for FY 86. The 
George D. Williams and Armadillo II removed 1,418,900 
cubic yards of material from the Ouachita-Black 
Waterway. The Armadillo II removed 158,100 cubic 
yards of material from Crossett Harbor during 
construction. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. The 6.5-foot project was 
complete and has been maintained to Camden, AR, 
since 1925. Planning and design for the 9-foot 
navigation project started in FY 62 are continuing. 
Construction at Columbia Lock and Dam started in 
February 1964. The dam was completed in November 
1968, and the lock was completed in January 1970 and 
was placed in service in May 1972. Construction at 
Jonesville Lock and Dam started in May 1967. The lock 
and dam were completed in January 1972 and were 
placed in service in March 1972. A 9-foot navigation 
channel along the existing project alignment was 
established from the Red River to Sterlington, LA, in 
June 1972. (See Table 12-C on locks and dams, 
Ouachita and Black Rivers, AR and LA). Demolition of 
Lock and Dam. No. 6 is under way and Lock and Dam 
No. 8 will begin soon. 
The contract for removal of four abandoned locks 
and dams which proved hazardous to navigation in the 
Columbia and Jonesville pools is completed. Construction 
of Felsenthal Lock and Dam is complete. Calion 
Lock and Dam has opened for navigation. There have 
been 17,421 acres acquired for the Bayou D'Arbonne

12. BAYOU BARTHOLOMEW AND 
TRIBUTARIES, AR AND LA 
Location. Bayou Bartholomew rises in Jefferson 
County, AR, about 10 miles northwest of Pine Bluff 
and flows southerly about 370 miles to join the 
Ouachita River upstream from Sterlington, LA. 
Authorized project. Project includes ten waterretention 
lakes in the western tributaries of Bayou 
Bartholomew in Arkansas and six local levee units 
along the main stem of Bayou Bartholomew in Louisiana. 
However, because of public opposition to construction 
of the loop levees, preconstruction planning of 
the six loop levees has been deferred until such time as 
there is sufficient support for such levees by local 
interests. Channel improvements previously authorized 
are deferred until it is determined that the quality and 
quantity of water downstream will not be adversely 
affected. Latest approved (1979) estimated cost of new 
work is $46,913,000 including $44,800,000 Federal and 
$2,113,000 non-Federal.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Local cooperation. Requirements of local cooperation 
are fully described on page 12-5 of Fiscal Year 80 
Annual Report. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Preconstruction 
planning and design have been deferred 
pending favorable benefit-cost ratios. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. Preparation of general 
design memorandum has been deferred due to lack of 
economic justification. 
Status of studies: A re-evaluation study is underway 
to determine if there are any feasible alternatives. 
13. BAYOU BODCAU AND 
TRIBUTARIES, AR AND LA 
Location. In east bank flood plain of Red River. 
Bayou Bodcau rises in vicinity of Hope, AR, and flows 
southerly through Bayou Bodcau Reservoir and Bodcau 
Lake to join Cypress Bayou apd form Red Chute Bayou, 
continues through Red Chute Bayou, Flat River, and 
Loggy Bayou to Red River, about 40 miles below 
Shreveport, LA. 
Authorized project. Cypress Bayou-Red Chute 
Bayou levee: Extend existing levee from about 8 miles 
southeast of Benton, LA, proceeding southerly 'to 
junction of Cross and Red Chute Bayous, and then 
parallel to Red Chute Bayou on the right descending 
bank to its junction with Cutoff Bayou for a total 
distance of approximately 25 miles; construct landside 
drainage channel and several culverts with flap gates 
to Red Chute Bayou; construct approximately 5 miles 
of levee on left descending bank of Red Chute Bayou 
extending south from Louisiana Highway 612, and 
relocate utility lines as needed. 
Flat River-Loggy Bayou levee: Extend from lower 
end of existing Red River levee in vicinity of Ninock, 
LA, along high (left descending) bank of Red River to a 
point on right descending bank of Loggy Bayou, about 
1 mile above its mouth, thence generally along right 
descending bank of Loggy Bayou, Red Chute, Cutoff 
Bayou, and Flat River to Taylortown to tie into existing 
Red River levee; close Flat River near its junction with 
Cutoff Bayou and install one 36-inch round corrugated 
metal pipe with automatic flap gate to drain isolated 
pockets and provide uninterrupted drainage; construct 
drainage structures on Flat River near its junction 
with Red Chute Bayou and along alignment of the 
Loggy Bayou in the vicinity of Grassy Lake; and make 
necessary utility relocations. 
Flat River channel improvement: Enlarge to average 
bottom width of 50 feet with flat side slopes and deepen 
by 2 to 6 feet from the confluence with Cutoff Bayou to 
junction with Cooper Bayou, 11.6 miles, including 
required relocations and modifications of utilities. 
Estimated cost for new work (October 1984) is 
$25,100,000 Federal and $7,600,000 non-Federal; 
however, this is subject to change pending outcome of 
the reevaluation study currently under way. 
The subject project was one of the Water Resources 
projects reviewed in March 1977 in accordance with 
the President's request. As a result of this review, the 
President Recommended to deauthorize this project. 
Congress subsequently directed the Corps to take the 
following two actions: Construct levees on Red Chute 
Bayou below Cutoff Bayou that are required to prevent 
induced flood damage that would otherwise result 
from the abandonment of partly completed project. 
Initiate studies to determine if modifications to the 
authorized project would permit its completion in a 
form consistent with the current executive policy. 
Engineering and design work for the induced flood 
prevention plan below Cutoff Bayou and project 
modification studies were being conducted when President 
Reagan signed, on Dec. 4, 1981, the Energy and 
Water Development Appropriations Bill of 1982, which 
contained language that "reconfirmed without further 
study and analysis" the plan for flood control for the 
project as approved by the Flood Control Act of 1965. 
Additional documents concerning environmental and 
socioeconomic impacts are currently being prepared 
and will be available to the public prior to further construction. 
There is clear evidence of a marked shift in 
land use within the project area over the past several 
years, from rural to urban-suburban. Because of this 
shift, we now find it necessary to expand our studies 
beyond those initially envisioned. The expanded studies 
will cover the areas of alternatives and economics, in 
addition to the natural environment. A scheduled date 
for resuming construction on the project has not been set. 
Local cooperation. For details see pages 11-24 and 
25, Annual Report for FY 80. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work by hired labor forces consisted of preparation of 
plans and specifications, for design deficiency, and 
engineering studies.

controls 656 square miles, or 53 percent, of entire 
drainage area of Bayou Bodcau. Construction of a 
floodway for diversion of Bayou Bodcau and Cypress 
Bayou to improve flood protection was authorized by 
1936 Flood Damage Prevention Act. This authorization 
was modified by 1938 Flood Control Act, which 
authorized construction of a reservoir and other flood 
damage prevention works in lieu of construction of a 
floodway for diversion of Bayou Bodcau and Cypress 
Bayou, LA to improve protection, and further modified

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. ILLINOIS WATERWAY, IL 
(ST. LOUIS DIST.) 
See report on Illinois Waterway, IL and IN, under 
Rock Island District. 
2. KASKASKIA RIVER, IL 
Location. The river rises in Champaign County, IL, 
about 5 miles northwest of Urbana, in east-central part 
of State. It flows southwesterly about 325 miles and 
empties into Mississippi River about 8 miles above 
Chester, II, or about 118 miles above mouth of Ohio 
River. (See Cincinnati sheet of maps of United States 
published by Army Map Service, scale 1:500,000.) 
Previous project. For details see Annual Report for 
1896, page 171. 
Existing project. Improvement for navigation 
provides a channel 9 feet deep and 225 feet wide from 
mouth to Fayetteville, IL. Improvement consists of 
enlarging present channel where required, making 
overbank cutoffs to eliminate sharp bends, and construction 
of a dam at mile 0.8 with a single lock 84 feet wide 
and 600 feet long, at an estimated total Federal project 
cost (1984) of $145,060,000. Non-Federal project cost is 
$7,665,000, of which $1,500,000 is local contribution. 
Local cooperation. State of Illinois passed legislation 
authorizing Illinois Department of Public Works and 
Buildings to enter into assurances of local cooperation 
with the United States. These assurances have been 
furnished and were accepted on behalf of the United 
States on Sept. 10, 1965; these assurances were 
supplemented on Aug. 7, 1972, to incorporate the 
provisions of PL 91-646. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Work is 
complete on the lock and dam, railroad relocations, 
and the grade control structure. Engineering and 
design continued on remaining construction items. 
Project is about 92 percent complete. 
Maintenance. Hired labor performed operation and 
maintenance of the project. 
3. MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN 
MISSOURI RIVER AND MINNEAPOLIS, 
MN. (ST. LOUIS DIST.) 
(INCLUDES L&D 26 REPLACEMENT) 
See separate section entitled "Mississippi River between 
Missouri River and Minneapolis, MN," printed 
in the Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers. 
4. MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN 
OHIO AND MISSOURI RIVERS, 
MO AND IL 
Location. Mississippi River rises in Lake Itasca, 
MN, and from that lake flows southerly about 2,340 
miles and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Portion 
included in this report embraces the 195-mile section 
known as middle Mississippi, between tributary Ohio 
and Missouri Rivers about 974 to 1,169 miles from the 
gulf. See folder by Corps of Engineers of Navigation 
Charts, Middle and Upper Mississippi River, Cairo, IL, 
to Minneapolis, MN. 
Previous projects. For details see page 1879 of 
Annual Report for 1915, and page 1014 of Annual 
Report for 1938. 
Existing project. The existing project provides for 
obtaining and maintaining a minimum channel depth 
of not less than 9 feet, a minimum width of not less than 
300 feet at low water, with additional widths in bends 
from mouth of Ohio River (about 974 miles from gulf) 
to northern boundary of city of St. Louis, mile 191, 
thence 200 feet wide, with additional width in bends to 
mouth of Missouri River, mile 195; to be obtained: (1) 
by regulating works, for closing secondary channels, 
contracting river by building new banks where river 
width is excessive and protecting new and old banks 
from erosion where necessary to secure permanency at 
an estimated total Federal cost (1985) of $181,000,000; 
(2) by dredging to maintain project channels; (3) by 
construction of works authorized for Chain of Rocks 
reach in 1945 River and Harbor Act, which approved a 
comprehensive plan for development of the river at 
Chain of Rocks to provide for construction of a lateral 
canal at a cost of $59,720,600; and (4) by construction of 
a fixed-crest rock-fill 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 (1985) is $245,073,600. A small 
boat harbor opposite Chester, IL, was deauthorized 
and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. 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. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Regulating 
Works: Contract was continued on stone dike 
and revetment construction as was engineering and 
design and supervision and administration. 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 70 percent complete. 
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. 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. 
Maintenance. Work consisted of 1,964 feet of dike 
and 20,812 feet of revetment repair. U.S. plant and 
14-2

ST. LOUIS, MO, DISTRICT 
hired labor performed channel dredging removing 
4,191,000 cubic yards of material from main channel. 
Condition and operation studies, recreation planning, 
engineering and design, and operation and maintenance 
of Lock and Dam 27 continued. 
Flood Control 
5. EAST ST. LOUIS AND VICINITY, IL 
Location. Project is in St. Clair and Madison 
Counties, IL, on the left bank of the Mississippi River 
between river miles 175 and 195 above the Ohio River. 
Project includes all bottomlands between bluffs on the 
east and Mississippi River and Chain of Rocks Canal on 
the west, and extends from Cahokia diversion channel 
on the north to Prairie du Pont Creek on the south. (See 
Corps of Engineers Navigation Charts, Middle and 
Upper Mississippi River, Cairo, IL, to Minneapolis, 
MN.) 
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 
provides 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. Final 
cost 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 
$33,600,000 (1985), $22,020,000 for Cahokia-Harding 
Ditch Area, and $11,580,000 for Blue Waters Ditch. 
Non-Federal cost is $20,770,000.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. AQUATIC PLANT CONTROL 
(SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION) 
1965 ACT 
Location. Navigable waters, tributary streams, 
connecting channels, and other allied waters in Texas and 
the Sabine River Watershed of Louisiana. 
Previous project. For details see page 699 of Annual 
Report for 1963. 
Existing project. A comprehensive project to provide 
for control and progressive eradication of water-hyacinth, 
alligatorweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, and other obnoxious 
aquatic plant growths, from navigable waters, tributary 
streams, connecting channels, and other allied waters in 
Texas in the combined interest of navigation, flood control, 
drainage, agriculture, fish and wildwife conservation, 
public health, and related purposes, including continued 
research for development of the most effective and 
economic control measures. Eradication work continues 
in the Nueces River Basin, North Coastal Area, 
Guadalupe River Basin, Sabine River Basin, Trinity River 
Basin, Cypress Creek Basin, Neches River Basin, South 
Coastal Area, San Jacinto River Basin and Rio Grande 
Basin. Planning, to include hydrilla control in the existing 
program, is underway. Estimated cost for new work is 
$2,019,000 Federal (Corps) and $693,000 non-Federal. 
Local cooperation. Sec. 302, 1965 River and Harbor 
Act, applies. 
Operations during fiscal year. Eradication work by 
the State of Texas continued. 
A supplemental General Design Memorandum and 
environmental assessment for the inclusion of submerged 
species, hydrilla and Eurasian watermilfoil, were 
completed. Monitoring of the biological control nursery 
areas was continued during the year. 
2. BRAZOS ISLAND HARBOR, TX 
Location. At extreme south end of coast of Texas, about 
7 miles north of mouth of Rio Grande and about 5 miles 
east of Brownsville, Texas. (See National Ocean Survey 
Chart 11301.) 
Previous project. For details see page 1017 of Annual 
Report for 1932. 
Existing project. Provides for channel dimensions in 
various sections of the waterway as shown in Table 15F. 
Project also provides for dual jetties at the gulf entrance, 
a north jetty 6,330 feet long, a south jetty 5,092 feet long, 
and 1,000-foot extension to existing north jetty and for 
maintenance of 3rd fishing harbor constructed by local 
interests. Under ordinary conditions, mean tidal range is 
about 1.5 feet, and extreme range is about 2 feet. All 
depths refer to mean low tide. To some extent, height of 
tides is dependent on the wind, and during strong 
"northers" in winter season, water surface in southern 
end of Laguna Madre may be raised 4 feet or more above 
mean low tide in the gulf. 
Widening Brownsville Channel from Goose Island to 
Brownsville turning basin and deepening southeast 
corner of Brownsville turning basin to 36 feet was 
completed in April 1980. The 1,000-foot extension to 
existing north jetty was placed in the inactive category 
in 1980. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing project 
to September 30, 1985.) 
Local cooperation. Complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Numerous terminal facilities for 
bulk and liquid cargo are available. (See Port Series No. 
26, revised 1980.) Facilities are adequate for existing 
commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. Routine maintenance. 
3. CORPUS CHRISTI SHIP 
CHANNEL, TX 
Location. This project, formerly known as the Port 
Aransas-Corpus Christi Waterway, Texas, was changed to 
Corpus Christi Ship Channel, Texas, by 1968 River and 
Harbor Act. This is a consolidation of old improvements 
of Port Aransas, Texas, and channel from Aransas Pass 
to Corpus Christi, Texas. 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 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, Texas. (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 
15-2

GALVESTON, TEXAS DISTRICT 
work is: Federal (Corps) $69,424,515, including $456,515 
for Port Aransas Breakwaters and exclusive of amount 
expended on previous projects; and non-Federal 
$17,630,068 (includes $768 for Pbrt Aransas Breakwaters) 
including $6,297,840 contributed funds and value of 
useful work performed, $3,320,228 lands, $6,027,000 
relocations and $1,985,000 other cost. (October 1, 1985 
base price.) 
The Port Aransas-Corpus Christi 40-foot project was 
completed in 1966. The Jewel Fulton Canal was completed 
in 1963. The Port Aransas Breakwaters were completed 
in July 1973. Work remaining consists of deepening deepdraft 
channels to 45 feet from Beacon 82 through Viola 
Turning Basin; widening of channels and basins; and 
constructing a mooring area at Port Ingleside with 
dolphins. Entrance and jetty channels have been dredged 
to project depth and width, and dredging of channel from 
Harbor Island to Beacon 82 at 45-foot depth has been 
completed. Initial mooring dolphins were completed in 
May 1979. Disposal area levees, Area 1 and Rincon were 
completed in August 1984. Disposal area levees, South 
Shore, were completed in September 1984. (See Table 15-E 
for total cost of existing project to September 30, 1985.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for 
provisions of Sec. 101 of 1968 River and Harbor Act and 
Sec. 124 of Water Resources Development Act of 1976. 
Terminal facilities. Terminal facilities on Harbor 
Island at head of Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Corpus Christi, 
La Quinta, Avery Point, and Viola, are considered 
adequate for existing commerce. (See Port Series, No. 25, 
revised 1979, Corps of Engineers.) 
Operations during fiscal year. New Work: 
Construction of disposal area levees, Area 1 and Rincon, 
financially completed at a fiscal year cost $154,229. 
Construction of disposal area levees, South Shore, 
financially completed at a fiscal year cost $316,560. 
Contract for vegetation establishment, South Shore 
levees, cost $68,719. (See Table 15-H for dredging 
operations.) 
Maintenance: Routine maintenance. (See Table 15-H for 
dredging operations.) 
4. FREEPORT HARBOR, TX 
Location. Formed by improvement of Brazos River, 
Texas, from mouth to about 6 miles upstream to Freeport, 
Texas. (See National Ocean Survey Charts 11321 and 
11322.) 
Previous projects. For details see page 1860 of Annual 
Report for 1915, and page 872 of Annual Report for 1938. 
Existing project. Existing project dimensions for 
various channels and basins are shown in Table 15-F on 
channel dimensions at end of chapter. 
Existing project also provides for: Dual jetties and a 
diversion canal for the Brazos River, including a dam, a 
lock in the dam and necessary auxiliary equipment. Also 
provides for rehabilitation of southwest jetty and the 
relocation of the northeast jetty (about 640 feet to the 
northeast); realignment of the channel between the Jetty 
Channel and Brazosport Turning Basin; realignment of 
the channel between Brazosport Turning Basin and Upper 
Turning Basin; relocation of Upper Turning Basin; and 
public use facilities adjacent to the Freeport Jetties. The 
30-foot channel from Upper Turning Basin to Stauffer 
Chemical Plant, including the turning basin, was 
deauthorized by Sec. 12 of PL 93-251. Construction of lock 
in diversion dam at local expense is considered inactive. 
The 38-36 foot project was completed in 1962. Work 
remaining consists of realigning, deepening and widening 
the Outer Bar and Jetty Channels; relocating the 
northeast jetty; rehabilitating the southwest jetty; 
realigning and deepening the harbor channel between the 
jetty channel and the Upper Turning Basin; relocating 
and enlarging the Upper Turning Basin; constructing a 
turning point near the northwesterly end of the jetty 
channel; enlarging Brazosport Turning Basin; deepening 
Brazos Harbor Channel; and enlarging and deepening 
Brazos Harbor Turning Basin. Preconstruction planning 
on this remaining work is complete. (See Table 15-E for 
total cost of existing project to September 30, 1985.) 
Under ordinary conditions mean tidal range is about 
1.5 feet and extreme range is about 2.5 feet. Except under 
extreme conditions, rises on river and in diversion channel 
do not cause greater variations in water surface than 
those caused by tidal action. Estimated cost of new work 
is: $85,449,000 Federal (Corps); and $10,877,000 non- 
Federal, including $1,118,303 contributed funds, $360,249 
contributed work, $6,198,448 lands, $2,668,000 levees and 
spillways, and $532,000 relocations. (October 1, 1985 base 
price.). 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with except for 
Section 101 of River and Harbor Act of 1970. River and 
Harbor Act of 1970 requires local interests provide 
necessary lands, easements, and rights-of-way required for 
public use facilities; and when the appraised value of land, 
easements, and rights-of-way amounts to less than 50 
percent of the total first cost of the development, make 
additional contributions sufficient to bring the non- 
Federal share to at least that level. The cash contribution 
is presently estimated at $360,000 which combined with 
land, estimated at $695,000 is 50 percent of the cost of 
public use facilities. Cash contribution at time of 
authorization estimated at $95,000 in addition to 
providing land estimated at $70,000. 
Terminal facilities. Small privately owned wharves, 
two oil docks, one acid dock, two shell unloading docks 
and one caustic dock. Brazos River Navigation District 
has one large dock with four transit sheds over rail 
facilities permitting all-weather work. Facilities 
considered adequate for existing commerce. (See Port 
Series No. 26, revised 1980, for additional facilities.) 
Operations during fiscal year. New Work: 
Preconstruction planning continued on the 45-foot project. 
Maintenance: Routine maintenance. Jetty repairs cost 
$370,258. (See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) 
5. GALVESTON HARBOR AND 
CHANNEL, TX 
Location. A consolidation of authorized improvements 
at Galveston, Texas, which includes projects formerly 
identified as Galveston Harbor, Texas; Galveston Channel, 
Texas; and Galveston seawall extension. Entrance to 
15-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Galveston Harbor is on Gulf of Mexico on the northern 
portion of the Texas Coast. Galveston Channel extends 
from a point in Galveston Harbor between Bolivar 
Peninsula and Fort Point to and along wharf front of 
Galveston, Texas, and is about 5 miles long and 1,200 feet 
wide. (See National Ocean Survey Chart 11324/5.) 
Previous projects. For details see page 1854 of Annual 
Report for 1915. 
Existing project. Provides for channel dimensions in 
sections of the waterway shown in Table 15-F. 
Also provided are: two rubble-mound jetties, the south 
one extending from Galveston Island and the north one 
extending from Bolivar Peninsula, for distances of 35,900 
feet and 25,907 feet, respectively, into the Gulf of Mexico; 
a concrete seawall from the angle at Sixth Street and 
Broadway, in the city of Galveston, to the south jetty, and 
a 16,300-foot extension of the concrete seawall in a 
southwesterly direction from 61st Street; for 11 groins 
along the gulf shore between 12th Street and 61st Street; 
and for maintenance of seawall from the angle at 6th 
Street and Broadway to the south jetty. Under ordinary 
conditions, mean tidal range in Galveston Harbor is 1.6 
feet on outer bar and 1.4 feet on inner bar with extreme 
ranges of 2.3 and 2.1 feet, respectively. Mean range in 
Galveston channel is about 1.3 feet and extreme range 
about 2 feet under ordinary conditions. Height of tides in 
both Galveston harbor and channel is dependent largely 
on the wind, and during strong "northers" water surface 
may be depressed 2 feet below mean low tide. 
Existing project is complete. Dredging of Galveston 
channel to 36 foot depth was completed in November 1966. 
Dredging of the realigned entrance and Outer Bar 
Channel was completed in October 1967. Rehabilitation 
of the Beach Front Groins was completed June 1970. 
Dredging of Galveston channel to 40 feet was completed 
in March 1976. (See Table 15-E for total cost of existing 
project to September 30, 1985.) 
Local cooperation. Complied with. 
Terminal facilities. None on Galveston Harbor, which 
is entrance channel leading to terminal facilities on 
Galveston, Texas City, and Houston Ship Channels. 
Galveston Channel terminal facilities are mostly on south 
side of channel. Principal wharves, owned by the city of 
Galveston, extend from 10th to 41st Street (see Port Series 
No. 23, revised 1979). A containership terminal equipped 
with a crane capable of stacking containers three units 
high on the deck of any normal containership has been 
completed and placed into operation by the city of 
Galveston at Piers 10 and 11, on the south side of 
Galveston Channel. The city of Galveston has also placed 
into operation a barge terminal equipped with two 35-ton 
and one 5-ton cranes for loading and unloading barges on 
Lash and Seabee ships at Pier 35 and a docking and 
holding area for Lash and Seabee barges on Pelican 
Island, directly across the channel from Piers 35 and 36. 
Present facilities are considered adequate for existing 
commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. Routine maintenance. 
(See Table 15-H for dredging operations.) 
6. GULF INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY 
BETWEEN APALACHEE BAY, FL, 
AND MEXICAN BORDER 
(GALVESTON DIST.) 
Location. Extends from a point on Sabine River about 
3 miles below Orange, Texas, to Brownsville, Texas, about 
421 miles; a navigation channel, about 7 miles long, in

GALVESTON, TEXAS DISTRICT 
Removal of the railroad bridge across the canal at Mud 
Bayou was completed and operation and care of the facility 
was discontinued on April 14, 1969. Deepening the 
existing 6 foot by 60 foot side channels at Port Isabel to 
12 feet was completed February 22, 1972, Offatts Bayou 
channel was completed January 1974. Relocation of main 
channel across Corpus Christi Bay was completed in 
September 1976. The 14 foot by 175 foot Channel to 
Aransas Pass was completed in April 1979. Dredging 
Chocolate Bayou Channel was completed in January 
1981. Construction of a saltwater barrier in Chocolate

to 1.3 feet in lower part of Galveston Bay; 0.6 foot to 1.3 
feet in upper bay; and 0.5 to 1 foot in San Jacinto River 
and Buffalo Bayou. Extreme ranges under ordinary 
conditions are about 2 feet, 1.2 feet and 1 foot, respectively. 
Freshets caused rises of over 12 feet in Buffalo Bayou; 
however, this condition has not occurred since completion 
of Addicks and Barker Dams for flood control on upper 
watershed of Buffalo Bayou. Height of tides is dependent 
largely on the wind, and during strong "northers" in 
winter season the water surface may be depressed 2 feet 
below mean low tide. 
Local cooperation. Complied with except for inactive 
portions of Greens Bayou.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
11C. WALLISVILLE LAKE, TX 
Location. Dam is at river mile 3.9, about 4 miles 
northwest of Anahuac, Texas. (See National Ocean Survey 
Chart 11323.) 
Existing project. Provides for construction of a dam 
and overflow spillway approximately 8 miles long to 
prevent salinity intrusion and create a 5,600-acre 
reservoir. The maximum pool elevation will be 4 feet above 
National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Project provides for an 
84 foot by 600-foot navigation lock to facilitate navigation 
on Channel to Liberty. The sill has a depth of minus 16 
feet below National Geodetic Vertical Datum. Project also 
provides for two recreational areas. Dam controls a 
drainage area of 1,262 square miles below Livingston 
Dam (non-Federal project at channel mile 99.2) and has 
a storage capacity of 58,000 acre-feet. Under ordinary 
conditions mean tidal range in bay is from 0.6 foot to 1.2 
feet. Height of tide is dependent largely on wind. Strong 
northerly winds depress water surface 1.5 feet below mean 
sea level. Tobtal estimated cost of authorized project is 
$67,700,000 Federal (Corps). (October 1, 1985 base price.) 
A contract for construction of access road, Big Hog 
intake structure, intake canal and access bridge was 
completed in October 1968. Work started in July 1970 on 
construction of the lock and dam, roads, diversion channel, 
and navigation channel. Work was suspended in February 
1973 because of an injunction halting construction. 
Protective work on the lock and dam was permitted and 
was completed in April 1973. An exception to the 
injunction was granted for plugging oil wells which was 
completed in August 1973. Notice of appeal to the Court 
of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit was filed in April 1973. 
In August 1974, the Court of Appeals reversed the 
judgment and remanded the case with directions that a 
revised or supplemental statement be prepared and judged 
anew. Final supplement to the Environmental Impact 
Statement for the modified project authorized in the 
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1983 (PL 98-63) was 
submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency on 
September 21, 1983. The schedule for the completion of 
construction for the modified project is dependent on the 
time required to coordinate with the courts to lift the 
injunction, and the availability of construction funds. 
Local cooperation. Local interest must contribute an 
amount equal to cost allocated to water supply, one-half 
of cost allocated to salinity control and cost allocated to 
recreation less cost of basic facilities and less 15 percent 
of total project cost. Local interest contribution is 
estimated at $9,268,000. 
Operations during fiscal year. New Work: Planning 
for the non-overflow dam, Interstate 10 to the Lock site, 
is underway. 
Maintenance: Ranger surveillance, administration of 
project, and administration of duck blind permit program 
was conducted. Mosquito control spraying cost $10,488.

1. TRINITY RIVER PROJECT, TX 
The project authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 
1965 (H. Doc 276, 89th Cong., 1st Sess.) consists of five major 
components: Multiple-Purpose Channel, Tennessee Colony 
Lake, Dallas Floodway Extension, West Fork Floodway, 
and Water Conveyance Facilities. For the last full report 
on the project as authorized, see Annual Report of 1978. 
The project information present herein is based on the 
tentatively selected project plan presented in the Draft 
General Design Memorandum. The plan consists of three 
structural components: Dallas Floodway Extension, 
Tennessee Colony Lake, and a Channel to Liberty in the 
lower basin. The estimated cost of the improvements is 
$1,225,000,000 including $81,000,000 non-Federal cost for 
land acquisition and relocation required for the local 
protection features (Oct. 1, 1984, base price). 
Operations during fiscal year. Preconstruction planning 
continued. 
CHANNEL TO LIBERTY: 
Location. The Channel to Liberty begins at the Houston 
ship channel, crosses the bay area in an easterly direction 
to intersect the existing Double Bayou channel turns 
northward along the coastline to Wallisville Lake and then 
continues northward through the lake area along the course 
of the Trinity River to RM 45 above Liberty, Texas. 
Existing project. The navigation portion of the channel 
will have a width of 200 feet with a depth of 12 feet and 
will extend from the Houston ship channel in Galveston 
Bay to the port of Liberty, Texas. The flood control portion 
of the channel will have a bottom width of 200 feet with 
a depth of 30 feet, and will extend from Wallisville Lake 
to RM 45 above Liberty, Texas. Estimated Federal cost of 
the improvements is $166,000,000 and estimated non- 
Federal cost is $9,200,000 for a total estimated cost of 
$175,200,000 (Oct. 1, 1985, base price.) 
Local cooperation. Local interests are required to: (a) 
provide, without cost to the Federal Government, all lands, 
easements and rights-of-way required for construction, 
operation and maintenance of the project, (b) accomplish, 
without cost to the Federal Government, all relocations and 
alterations to existing improvements, other than highway 
bridges over new land cuts and railroad bridges required 
for the construction of the project, (c) maintain and operate 
the flood control portion of the channel upstream of Liberty, 
Texas, and (d) reimburse the Federal Government for onehalf 
of the separable costs allocated to recreation and fish 
and wildlife enhancement. This reimbursement is presently 
estimated at $245,000, exclusive of interest. 
TENNESSEE COLONY LAKE: 
Location. The Tennessee Colony dam site is located at 
River Mile 341.7 on the Trinity River about 22 miles west 
of Palestine, Texas. The lake would extend into Freestone, 
Anderson, Henderson, and Navarro Counties, and would 
control a drainage area of 12,302 square miles. 
Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for 
the constructinn of an earthfilled dam with a maximum 
height of 123 feet above the streambed and a total 
embankment ]ngth of 42,350 feet with a gated concrete 
spillway. The lake will have a total controlled storage of 
3,455,000 acre-feet and a water surface area of 114,400 acres 
at the top of the flood control pool and 68,100 acres at the 
top of the conservation pool. The total storage includes 
2,269,500 acre-feet for flood control, 1,040,000 acre-feet for 
conservation, and 145,500 acre-feet for sediment reserve. 
Estimated Federal cost of the improvement is $913,000,000 
(Oct. 1, 1983, base price). 
Local cooperation. Local interests are required to 
reimburse the Federal Government for costs allocated to 
water supply storage and one-half of the separable cost 
allocated to recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement. 
This reimbursement is presently estimated at $461,754,000 
for water supply and $9,533,000, for recreation (excluding 
future recreation facilities), for a total cost of $471,287,000, 
exclusive of interest. 
DALLAS FLOODWAY EXTENSION; 
Location. Dallas Floodway Extension is located on the 
Trinity River in the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. 
Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for 
extending the existing Floodway downstream about 9 miles 
to the confluence of the Trinity River and Five Mile Creek. 
The plan consists of a leveed floodway and flood conveyance 
improvement (channel) along the main stem, Five Mile 
Creek and White Rock Creek. Maintained free of encroachments, 
the levees and channels would provide Standard 
Project Flood protection for approximately 7,300 acres of 
urban lands currently subject to flooding. The estimated 
Federal cost is $68,000,000 and estimated non-Federal cost 
is $63,000,000 for a total estimated cost of $131,000,000 for 
the improvement (Oct. 1, 1983, base price). 
Local cooperation. Local interests are required to: (a) 
provide, without cost to the Federal Government, all lands, 
easements and rights-of-way necessary for construction, 
maintenance and operation of the project, (b) accomplish, 
without cost to the Federal Government, all alterations to 
existing improvements, other than railroad bridges required 
for the construction of the project, (c) maintain and operate 
the project after completion, and (d) reimburse the Federal 
Government for one-half of the separable costs allocated to 
recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement. This reimbursement 
is presently estimated at $1,878,000 (excluding 
future recreation) exclusive of interest.

7. BOGGY CREEK, TX - COLORADO 
RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES 
Location. In southeast portion of the city of Austin, 
Texas, which is about 160 miles north of Houston and approximately 
200 miles south of Dallas-Fort Worth area. 
Existing project. The recommended plan consists of 
concrete trapezoidal channel on Boggy Creek beginning 
just above Webberville Road and extending downstream 
about 2.2 miles to just below Jain Lane. From there, a 
grass lined channel would extend further downstream 
and transition into the natural channel at Ed Bluestein 
Boulevard, a distance of about 0.7 miles. New bridges 
would be required at four street crossings and two railroad 
crossings. The plan calls for acquisition of 54 acres 
of land adjacent to the lower end of the channel to 
mitigate habitat losses and also to provide for environmental 
quality enhancement. About 3.25 miles of trails 
along the channel and 0.95 miles in the EQ/mitigation 
area will also be provided. Estimated Federal cost is 
$16,200,000 and $8,800,000 non-Federal cost (Oct. 1, 1985 
base price). 
The proposed flood control channel will provide capacities 
for the 100 year flood. Design will provide for containment 
of flows within the banks of the improved 
channels. Bottom widths for the concrete channel will 
vary from 60 feet to 90 feet, and top widths from 80 feet 
to 120 feet. 
Local cooperation. In accordance with the President's 
1978 Cost Sharing Policy and the recommendations contained 
in the reporting document, the State of Texas is 
required to make a cash contribution of 5 percent of construction 
costs associated nonvendible outputs. The city 
of Austin is required to provide a cash or in-kind contribution 
equal to 20 percent of the project first costs associated 
with flood control benefits and 20 percent of the 
associated mitigation lands. The city is also required to 
provide 50 percent of the recreational development cost 
and 25 percent of the EQ enhancement lands. The city 
will also be required to hold and save the United States 
free from damages due to the construction work, operate 
and maintain all works after completion, prevent any obstruction 
or encroachment that would reduce the flow capacity 
of the project, provide and maintain adequate 
lateral drains and channels, publicize flood plain information 
for all streams in the watershed and adopt and 
enforce regulations to minimize damages to future developments 
within the 100-year flood plain, and administer 
and assure access to the recreational facilities 
and lands to all on an equal basis. 
Operations during fiscal year. A reevaluation of the 
Interim Survey Report was submitted May 5, 1982, and approved 
May 18, 1982. The Phase II GDM was submitted 
in January 1984. Specific authorization for construction of 
Boggy Creek is pending. Preconstruction planning continued.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS DISTRICT 
North Sulphur River, 8.2 miles of levee on the Sulphur 
River, 14 miles of levee on Cuthand Creek, and 4.2 miles 
of levee on Brushy Creek were strengthened; 0.5 mile of 
levee on Kickapoo Creek was enlarged; and 15.3 miles of 
new channel in Cuthand Creek, 0.8 mile of new channel 
in Brushy Creek, and 0.2 mile of cutoff channel in Kickapoo 
Creek were excavated; all downstream from Cooper 
Reservoir. 
Lack of funds and spending limitations prevented construction 
of the levees and channel work between April 
1964 and Februrary 1971. Construction was started again, 
however, in May 1971. The Texas Committee on Natural 
Resources, et al, secured an injunction to halt construction 
on the project pending preparation of an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS), required by the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969. A statement was prepared and 
filed on June 24, 1977. The plan recommended, in the Final 
EIS, minimized further construction of the authorized 
channels and provided for construction of the reservoir and 
downstream levees. The sufficiency of the Final EIS was 
challenged in the court and in December 1978 the U.S. District 
Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled the statement 
inadequate, citing five deficiencies and halting all 
further construction. A Supplemental EIS to comply with 
the court's decision was prepared and filed with the Environmental 
Protection Agency in March 1981. The recommended 
plan of improvement consists of the multipurpose 
lake, 0.9 mile of levee, and the acquisition of 25,500 acres 
of wildlife mitigation lands. All remaining channel and levee 
work was deleted from the recommended plan. The Supplemental 
EIS was filed with the court in July 1981 and 
numerous motions, documents, affidavits, and briefs were 
subsequently filed. Estimated Federal cost (Oct. 1, 1985 base 
price) is $129,000,000, non-Federal cost for land for the levees 
is $227,000 and in addition $50,425,000 is to be reimbursed 
by water supply users over a 50-year period. The 
project was transferred to the Fort Worth District at the 
end of FY 1979. 
Local cooperation. Except for Cooper Reservoir, local 
interest 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 
the first two phases of work on the levees and channel downstream 
from Cooper Dam. Right-of-way acquisition for the 
second phase was also essentially complete when construction 
was halted. 
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, or Hunt Counties. 
Operations during fiscal year. After the Supplemental 
EIS was filed in July 1981, numerous motions, documents, 
affidavits, and briefs were filed through October 
1982. On December 30, 1982, the U.S. District Court issued 
a 95-page order continuing the permanent injunction. On 
March 22, 1983, the order was revised and Judge William 
Wayne Justice issued an Amended Memorandum Opinion 
and a Permanent Injunction against the construction of 
Cooper Lake. The Government filed a Notice of Appeal with 
the court in May 1983. Since that time, several briefs have 
been filed with the New Orleans Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. 
Current action centers on the Appeal and resolution 
of the litigation. On July 16, 1984, litigation was resolved 
and the injunction was released. Contracts awarded during 
FY1985 include the following: Reloc. Lone Star Gas 
Pipeline and Alteration for S. Access Rd, awarded July 24, 
1985; and S. Access Rd., awarded April 17, 1985. Through 
FY1985 the following is approximately complete: Levees 
and channels, 98 percent; Real Estate, 97 percent; Embankments, 
Spillway and Outlets, 0 percent.

ages during FY 1985. The estimated total accumulated 
flood damages prevented were $46,228,200. Peak flood 
flows recorded during FY 1985 were North Diversion 
Channel near Alameda, 2,570 c.f.s. on April 28, 1985, 
and South Diversion Channel 220 c.f.s. on April 28, 1985. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction of the 
north and south diversion channels began in March 1965, 
and was completed in March 1972. Channels are in good 
condition and well maintained by local interests. 
2. CONCHAS LAKE, NM 
Location. Dam is in San Miguel County, NM, on 
Canadian River, about one-fourth mile downstream from 
confluence of Canadian and Conchas Rivers. (See Geological 
Survey State map of New Mexico, scale 1:500,000, 
and Geological Survey topographic map. Thcumcari quadrangle, 
scale 1: 125,000). 
Existing project. A concrete gravity main dam section 
1,250 feet long with a maximum height of 200 feet 
above streambed located in Canadian River Canyon together 
with earth dikes on each side having an overall 
length of about 3.7 miles. Main section contains conduits 
in its base for release of water to maintain low flows and 
for drainage of reservoir, and an overflow, ungated spillway 
300 feet long. Earth dikes vary in height up to 100 
feet and north dike contains a concrete ogee-type emergency 
spillway 3,000 feet long. Reservoir has a gross storage 
capacity of 529,000 acre-feet (198,900 for flood control, 
259,600 for water conservation and irrigation, and 70,500 
dead storage). Dam controls 7,409 square miles of drainage 
area. (See page 17-16 of Annual Report of 1973 for 
authorizing legislation.) 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation 
of reservoir continued. Reservoir was operated for storage 
of floodwaters and releases for irrigation purposes. $243,000 
in sediment damages were prevented during FY 1985 
while no flood damages were prevented. Estimated total 
accumulated flood and sediment damages prevented by 
project through FY 1985 were $2,451,800. Estimated irrigation 
benefits for FY 1985 were $259,100. Estimated total 
accumulated irrigation benefits through FY 1985 were 
$8,804,500. Pool elevation at start of FY 1985 was 4,184.28 
feet with corresponding storage of 198,839 acre-feet. Total 
releases for reporting period were 73,885 acre-feet. Releases 
of 71,874 acre-feet were made to Arch Hurley Conservancy 
District and 2,147 acre-feet to Bell Ranch. Pool 
elevation on September 30, 1985, was 4,194.46 feet with 
corresponding storage of 271,660 acre-feet. Sediment deposition 
during the fiscal year was 2,170 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 recreation facilities was initiated 
in FY 1978 and completed in FY 1983.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Existing project. Project operation began in November 
1979. Authorized plan of improvement 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 447,100 acre-feet which includes 80,100 acre-feet sediment 
reserve, 200,000 acre-feet irrigation and 167,000 
acre-feet flood control storage. Surface area of the reservoir 
at the spillway crest is 10,685 acres. Contributing 
drainage area at the dam site is 2,434 square miles. 
For a more detailed report of the authorized project 
including the modification to existing Summer Lake see 
page 17-8 of fiscal year 1981 Annual Report. For authorizing 
legislation see page 17-14 of fiscal year 1981 Annual 
Report. 
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 has agreed to use Sumner Lake for floodcontrol. 
Because they will realize equivalent benefits from 
storage capacity in Santa Rosa Dam and Lake, they will 
continue to fulfill their repayment obligation. The New 
Mexico Division of Parks will be required to manage the 
recreation facilities. Activities include camping, picnicking, 
boating and hiking. 
For more requirements and details on final approval 
in 1974 for transfer of irrigation storage from Sumner Lake 
to Santa Rosa Dam and Lake (formerly Los Esteros Lake) 
see page 17-5 of Annual Report for 1980.

11. TWO RIVERS DAM, NM 
Location. About 14 miles southwest of Roswell, NM, 
on Rio Hondo and Rocky Arroyo. Rio Hondo is formed at 
confluence of Rio Ruidoso and Rio Bonito, near village of 
Hondo, NM, in foothills region of Sierra Blanca in southeastern 
part of Lincoln County, NM, and flows generally 
easterly to its confluence with Pecos River near Roswell, 
NM (See Geological Survey map, Hondo Reservoir quadrangle, 
scale 1:24,000.) 
Existing project. Diamond "A" Dam is an earthfill 
structure, 4,885 feet long and 98 feet high, with a gated 
outlet. Rocky Dam is an earthfill structure 2,940 feet long 
and 118 feet high with an uncontrolled outlet. No provision 
is made for storage except for flood control. Flood 
releases will be controlled so that flows through Roswell 
will not exceed Rio Hondo channel capacity which is about 
1,000 c.f.s. Capacity of Two Rivers Reservoir at spillway 
crest is 168,000 acre-feet, of which 18,000 acre-feet are 
provided for sediment reserve. Together these dams regulate 
runoff from 1,027 square miles of drainage area. For 
details of completed improvement and authorizing legislation 
see page 17-18 of Annual Report for 1973. 
Local cooperation. Section 2 Flood Control Act of 1938 
applies and compliance is satisfactory. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Routine 
maintenance and operation continued. The reservoir was 
empty on October 1, 1984. The maximum pool elevation 
of 3,985.44 feet with a corresponding storage of 714 acrefeet 
occurred on 13 August 1985. There were $141,900 
in flood damages prevented during 1985. Sediment damages 
prevented were $85,900. Estimated total accumulated 
flood and sediment damages prevented through FY 1985 
were $6,619,000. There were 313 acre-feet of sediment 
deposition during FY 1985. The accrued sediment benefits 
through FY 1985 are $554,000. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Project is complete 
and was placed in operation July 1963. Project features 
are in good condition and in operation. 
12. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED 
FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS 
Included under this heading is inspection of completed 
flood control projects transferred to local interests for operation 
and maintenance. Projects in Texas, Colorado, and 
New Mexico were inspected. Federal costs for the fiscal 
year were $170,631. 
An appropriation of $250,000 was provided through the 
Inspection of Completed Works program in FY 1984 to 
evaluate the performance of the Albuquerque North Diversion 
Channel project.

13. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL 
RESERVOIR OPERATIONS 
Pursuant to Section 7, Flood Control Act of 1944, three 
projects are operated by others for flood control. These projects 
are Platoro, Pueblo, and Sumner. 
Platoro Dam on Conejos River above the town of Platoro, 
Conejos County, CO controls runoff from 40 square miles 
of high mountain area. Authorized purposes are irrigation 
storage and flood control. ToIbtal storage is 60,000 acrefeet 
with the top 6,000 acre-feet for flood control. The 
54,000 acre-feet is joint use storage with flood-control on 
a forecast basis during spring runoff. Platoro Dam was 
authorized by Interior Appropriation Act of 1941 (see H 
Doc 693, 76th Cong., 3rd Sess.) Construction of project 
was completed by Water and Power Resources Service 
(Bureau of Reclamation) in FY 1952. 
On October 1, 1984, storage in Platoro reservoir was 
34,025 acre-feet, elevation 10,004.2 feet. During the period 
April 27 through May 9 a total of 10,413 acre-feet of storage 
was evacuated in anticipation of required flood space 
due to forecasted spring runoff. Maximum storage of 
57,216 acre-feet, elevation 10,031.5 feet occurred on June 
27, 1985. On September 30, 1985, storage was 53,506 acrefeet, 
elevation 10,027.5 feet. Peak flow at Mogote gage was 
2,920 c.f.s. on June 25, 1985. $104,400 in flood damages 
were prevented by the project during FY 1985. Total flood 
damages prevented to date are at $3,312,900. Total cost 
for activity during FY 1985 was $12,414. 
Pueblo Dam is part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas project 
which was authorized under Public Law 87-590, 87th 
Congress, HR 2206 on August 16, 1962. The project was 
completed in August 1975. Pueblo is operated by the U.S. 
Bureau of Reclamation and is located at river mile 1,293.7 
on the Arkansas River in Pueblo County Colorado. Pueblo 
reservoir has 27,000 acre-feet exclusive flood space and 
66,000 acre-feet joint use space. 
Operation of Pueblo Reservoir began on February 10, 
1974. Storage on October 1, 1984 was 221,181 acre-feet, 
elev. 4,870.61 feet. Maximum storage during the year was 
283,207 acre-feet, elev 4,884.45 feet on March 14, 1985. Storage 
on September 30, 1985 was 242,549 acre-feet, elev. 
4875.64 feet. There were $233,500 in flood damages prevented 
in FY 1985. Total cost for FY 1985 activity was 
$14,212. Total flood damages prevented to date are 
$2,761,900. 
Sumner Dam is located on the Pecos River at river mile 
710.8 in DeBaca County, New Mexico. Sumner Dam was 
authorized aS Alamogordo Dam by the Secretary of the 
Interior under a Finding of Feasibility approved by the 
President of the USA on 6 November 1935, under the Federal 
Reclamation laws. The original project was completed 
in 1937. Modification work of raising the dam 16 feet, adding 
a spillway and limiting the service spillway floor to 
56,000 c.f.s. was completed in 1957. A twenty-four inch 
bypass line was installed in 1977 to pass flows less than 
100 c.f.s. Storage on October 1, 1984 was 21,044 acre-feet, 
elevation 4,247.0 feet. Maximum storage for FY 1985 was 
46,203 acre-feet, elevation 4,259.1 feet on March 6, 1985. 
Storage on September 30, 1985 was 9,685 acre-feet, elevation

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN, AR, 
OK, AND KS 
Location. Arkansas River rises in Rocky Mountains 
near Leadville, CO, and flows southeastward 1,396 miles 
through Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas to 
join Mississippi River 559 miles above Head of Passes, 
LA. (See Geological Survey state maps, 1:24,000, and 
flood control and navigation maps of Mississippi River, 
Cairo, IL, to Gulf of Mexico, 1970 edition scale 1:62,500.) 
Previous projects. For details see page 1066, Annual 
Report for 1932, and pages 744, 864, and 881, Annual 
Report for 1943. 
Existing project. Provides for improvement of Arkansas 
River Basin by construction of coordinated developments 
for navigation, hydroelectric power, flood control, 
water supply, sediment control, recreation, and fish 
and wildlife propagation. McClellan-Kerr Arkansas 
River Navigation System provides a channel of 9 feet 
deep and 445.3 miles long, beginning at mouth of White 
River, which enters Mississippi River 599 miles above 
Head of Passes, LA, thence 9.8 miles upstream to mouth 
of Wild Goose Bayou; thence 9.2 miles by a land cut, 
designated as Arkansas Post Canal to mile 42 (1943 
survey) on Arkansas River; thence 376.0 miles along 
channel of latter stream to mouth of Verdigris River at 
navigation mile 395.0; thence 50.3 miles up Verdigris 
River to head of navigation at Catoosa, OK 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 San Bois Creek, 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. Pertinent 
data and estimated Federal cost are summarized in 
Tables 18-H and 18-I, and Arkansas River Basin; AR, 
OK, and KS: Navigation Lakes. For authorization see 
Table 18-B, Authorizing Legislation. 
Local cooperation. For McClellan-Kerr Arkansas 
River Navigation System, local interests must provide 
adequate terminal and transfer facilities and bear increased 
cost of maintenance and operation of all altered 
rail and highway routes, including bridges and appurtenances, 
utilities, and other existing improvements, 
other than federally owned. For lakes see requirements 
for each individual lake. 
Terminal facilities. Public port facilities were in 
operation at Pine Bluff-Jefferson County, Little Rock, 
and Fort Smith, AR, and Muskogee and Catoosa (Tulsa- 
Rogers County), OK. Port authorities have been organized 
to develop public facilities at North Little Rock, 
Dardanelle-Russellv:lle, Morrilton, Clarksville, Ozark 
and Van Buren, AR, and Sallisaw, OK. Terminal facilities 
are in operation or being built at 30 locations in 
Arkansas and at 25 locations in Oklahoma along the 
improved waterways.

(LITTLE ROCK DISTRICT), AR 
Location. Improvements are on Little River and 
tributaries, Arkansas. More definite location of individual 
items is shown in Table 18-J, Little River Basin. 
Existing project. Part of a six-lake system for flood 
control and other purposes in the Little River Basin. The 
system consists of four lakes in Arkansas: Millwood on 
the main stem, Dierks on the Saline River, DeQueen on 
the Rolling Fork River, and Gillham on the Cossatot 
River, and two lakes in Oklahoma: Broken Bow on the 
Mountain Fork River and Pine Creek on the Little River. 
Under a District boundary change, effective in October 
1980, the four projects in this system in Arkansas were 
reassigned from the Tulsa District to the Little Rock 
District. 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 
1938, and Section 301, Water Supply Act of 1958, as 
amended, apply. Tri-Lakes (DeQueen, Gillham, and 
Dierks) Water District furnished a resolution of intent to 
repay costs allocated to water supply storage. The Southwest 
Arkansas Water District is currently repaying costs 
allocated to water supply storage at Millwood Lake. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Operation 
and maintenance of projects continued. See individual 
projects for details. 
Condition at end of fiscal year. Millwood, DeQueen, 
Gillham, and Dierks Lakes are complete and in operation.

comprehensive flood plain management planning at 
all levels to reduce the potential for losses to life and 
property from floods. Federal and non-Federal agencies 
and the private sector are assisted with planning and 
development information for flood hazard areas. This 
assistance is in the form of local flood plain regulations, 
Federal Insurance Program requirements, and Executive 
Order 11988 guidelines. Such assistance may include 
factual flood information (available or determined) and 
interpretation on flood frequencies, extent of flooding, 
flood-water velocity, duration of flooding and floodway 
limits. Services accomplished during fiscal year: Technical 
services and planning guidance responses furnished 
totaled 10,100. This total included services to

RIVER NAVIGATION SYSTEM 
(Ililsa District Portion), OK. 
Location. The Tulsa District portion of the 
McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System provides 
a navigation route up the Arkansas River from the 
Oklahoma-Arkansas state line to the head of navigation 
at Catoosa, OK, near Tulsa, OK. The total length of the 
Tulsa District portion of the system is 137 navigation 
miles. Descriptions and costs for the entire navigation 
system can be found in the Little Rock District's entry in 
this Annual Report. 
Existing projects. The McClellan-Kerr Arkansas 
River navigation project is a component of the multipurpose 
plan for the Arkansas River Basin which provided 
for the improvement of the basin through the construction 
of coordinated developments for navigation, hydroelectric 
power, flood control, water supply, water quality 
control, sediment control, recreation, and fish and 
wildlife propagation. The McClellan-Kerr project consists 
of bank stabilization, channel straightening, and 
cutoffs as required. The navigation channel has a 
minimum depth of 9 feet and a minimum width of 250 
feet. The Tulsa District portion of the navigation system 
consists of the: Arkansas River Bank Stabilization and 
Channel Rectification, Chouteau Lock and Dam, Newt 
Graham Lock and Dam, Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam, 
Robert S. Kerr Marine Tebrminal, Sans Bois Navigation 
Channel, W.D. Mayo Lock and Dam, Webbers Falls Lock 
and Dam, and the pool in Oklahoma which was created by 
Lock and Dam 13 in Arkansas. The other parts of the 
multiple-purpose plan for the Arkansas River Basin are 
listed in table 19-H. 
Tbrminal facilities. Public port facilities are in operation 
at Muskogee and Catoosa, OK. At Sallisaw, OK, a 
port authority has been active in seeking development of 
public facilities at that location. Other private commercial 
port facilities are complete and in operation at eight

Flood Control 
3. ARCADIA LAKE, OK. 
Location. On the Deep Fork River, river mile 213.8, in 
the metropolitan area of Oklahoma City and Edmond, 
OK, about 1.5 miles west of Arcadia, in Oklahoma 
County, OK. (See Arcadia, OK, Geological Survey map, 
scale 1:24,000.) 
Existing project. The plan of improvement provides 
for flood control, water supply, and recreation by construction 
of an earthfill dam approximately 104 feet high 
and 5,200 feet long with a high-level uncontrolled spillway 
Outlet works will consist of gated tower and conduit. 
The lake will have a total capacity of 92,000 acre-feet 
(27,380 for conservation, 64,430 for flood control, and 190 
for sedimentation reserve) and will control a drainage 
area of 105 square miles. Construction began in October 
1980. 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 
1938, Water Supply Act of 1958, Federal Water Project 
Recreation Act of 1965, and Section 221, Flood Control 
Act of 1970 apply. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. The project 
is 72 percent complete. Estimated cost is $84,000,000 
(October 1985 price level). Work to complete the relocation 
of the Turner Turnpike; to complete the embankment 
and spillway and recreation facilities; and the clearing of 
some project land was performed during the fiscal year. 
4. ARKANSAS-RED RIVER BASINS 
CHLORIDE CONTROL PROJECTS, 
KS, OK, AND TX. 
Location. On certain tributary streams of the Arkansas 
and Red Rivers in the western half of the Thlsa 
District. 
Existing project. Provided for studies involving the 
control of the natural water pollution caused by the fifteen 
natural salt sources identified in 1957 by the US 
Public Health Service. The Arkansas and Red Rivers 
represent a major national and regional water resource 
which is severely limited because of poor water quality 
primarily caused by the natural pollutant, sodium 
chloride. The Arkansas River is polluted by five naturally 
occurring salt sources located in northwestern Oklahoma 
and southwestern Kansas. The Red River Basin is polluted 
by ten naturally occurring salt sources located in 
northwestern Tbxas and southwestern Oklahoma. These 
studies included the construction and subsequent 
maintenance of an injection well and a ring dike used for 
data collection. Preauthorization studies were completed 
in 1966 and 1970 and recommended construction of project 
features at thirteen of the fifteen sites. For a detailed 
discussion of the chloride control projects, see page 19-4 of 
the Annual Report for 1983. 
Local cooperation. Descriptive text concerning local 
cooperation requirements is given on page 19-5 of the 
Annual Report for 1983.

of the Red River. 
Existing Project. The plan of improvement consisted 
of an earthen dike, 9 feet high and 340 feet in diameter, 
around Estelline Springs. The springs were a salt water 
source which decreased the usability of the surface water 
in the area. Construction was started in 1963 and the 
structure was completed in 1964. 
4b. AREA VIII. 
Location. Chloride control Area VIII is located at river 
mile 74.9 of the South Fork of the Wichita River in King 
County, TX, about five miles east of Guthrie, TX. 
Existing Project. The plan of improvement consists of 
two low-flow collection dams with attendant pumping 
stations and pipeline facilities. These two structures (the 
Bateman Low Flow Dam and the Ross Ranch Low Flow 
Dam) will be equipped with an inflatable fabric-type weir 
located in the spillway section which would be deflated to 
pass relatively good quality high flows. The collected 
brines will be pumped to the storage reservoir behind the 
fruscott Brine Dam. This brine dam, located at river mile 
3.6 on Bluff Creek (a tributary of the North Fork of the 
Wichita River) about three miles northwest of 'ruscott, 
TX, would contain the collected brines from this area as 
well as the future collections from Area X. Preconstruction 
planning for Area X is essentially complete and 
construction is awaiting approval from the Secretary of 
the Army and funding from Congress. 
Local cooperation. See page 19-5 of the Annual Report 
for 1983.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. MISSOURI RIVER, SIOUX CITY, IA, 
TO MOUTH (RULO, NE, TO MOUTH) 
Location. Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin Rivers 
conjoin at Three Forks, Mont., to form the Missouri 
River, which flows southeasterly 2,315 miles (1960 
mileage) across or along seven states to the Mississippi 
River, 17 miles above St. Louis. For description see page 
1149, Annual Report for 1932. The river is commercially 
navigable from Sioux City, Iowa to the mouth, a 
distance of 732 miles. The portion of project in Kansas 
City District extends from Rulo, Nebraska to the 
mouth, a distance of 498 miles. 
Previous projects. For details see page 1891 of Annual 
Report for 1915, and pages 1153 and 1175 of Annual 
Report for 1938. 
Existing project. A channel of 9-foot depth and width 
not less than 300 feet, obtained by revetment of banks, 
construction of permeable dikes to contract and 
stabilize the channel, cutoffs to eliminate long bends, 
closing minor channels, removal of snags, and dredging 
as required. The improved reach within the Kansas City 
District extends from the mouth to the upper end of 
Rulo Bend, a distance of 498.4 miles. The Bank 
Stabilization and Navigation features of the project 
were completed in September 1980. For the reach from 
Rulo, Nebraska to the mouth, the total construction 
cost was $237,942,190 including $8,665,594 for previous 
project. River access sites have been completed at 11 
locations. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations of stage 
are 16 and 38 feet, respectively. 
Local cooperation. Cooperation from benefited 
localities may be required where any improvement may 
confer special benefit. The receipt of contributions from 
private parties are to be expended along with Government 
funds upon authorized work where such work 
would be in the interest of navigation, as authorized by 
1915 Rivers and Harbors Act. Secretary of the Army 
approved general principle of cooperative construction 
on Missouri River below Kansas City on basis that 25 
percent of cost of any special installation shall be paid 
by the United States and 75 percent by local interests. 
Total contributed by local interests in cooperation with 
the United States from 1918 to June 30, 1964, was 
$675,663, of which $8,647 was returned to contributors. 
Local interests must share in cost of recreation facilities 
in accordance with provisions of the Federal Water Project 
Recreation Act of 1965. Local interests have contributed 
$171,816 for cost sharing on construction of 
recreation in addition to constructing portions of the 
facilities. 
Terminal facilities. A listing of terminal facilities are 
included in Missouri River Navigation Charts and can 
be obtained from Kansas City District Engineers for a 
small fee. 
Operations during fiscal year. The 1974 Base Line 
Study of the reach of the Missouri River in the Kansas 
City District estimated recreation use on the river at 
1,250,000 recreation days annually. The projected tonnage 
on the river for FY 1985 is approximately 2.0 
million. Maintenance: Repair of dikes and revetments 
by contract. In addition, following work was accomplished 
by hired labor: Construction of environmental 
gaps and dike and revetment repair, real estate 
management, channel reconnaissance, condition 
studies, surveys and mapping, stream gaging, environmental 
studies and special working data, engineering 
and design, surveys and layout of construction, and 
supervision and administration. There was no dredging 
because no significant bars or shoals developed.

Multiple Purpose Projects 
Including Power 
26. HARRY S. TRUMAN DAM AND 
RESERVOIR, OSAGE RIVER, MO 
Location. Damsite is on main stem of Osage River 
about 1.5 miles northwest of Warsaw, Benton County, 
Missouri. Reservoir extends into Bates, Henry, 
Hickory, St. Clair, and Vernon Counties, Missouri. 
Existing project. An earthfill dam about 5,000 feet 
long constructed to an average height of about 96 feet 
above streambed,including a gate-controlled overfall 
spillway section and a power installation consisting of 
six inclined pump-generating units with total capacity 
of 160,000 kilowatts. Total reservoir storage capacity is 
5,202,000 acre-feet (3,918,000 for flood control, 244,000 
for sediment reserve, and 1,040,000 multipurpose 
storage for power, low-flow regulation, and recreation). 
Public Law 91-267, approved May 26, 1970, authorized 
a change in project name from Kaysinger Bluff Dam 
and Reservoir, Osage River Basin, Missouri to the 
Harry S. Truman Dam and Reservoir. Estimated cost 
(1985) is $550 million. Construction of relocation of 
Missouri Highway M-13 was initiated September 1964 
and completed May 1966. Construction of the dam and 
reservoir was initiated in October 1964. The embankment 
has been completed including paving the top of the 
dam roadway. The spillway was completed in October 
1979. The Southwestern Power Admimistration powerline 
needed for final testing and commercial operation of 
the generators was completed in December 1979. The 
first power unit was placed on line on 22 December 
1979. Subsequent problems with the turbine bearing required 
remedial design on the bearing. Restricted commercial 
power production began in April 1982. Through 
September 1985, power generation totaled 
1,432,450,800 kilowatt hours. Of the gross income from 
the sale of power by Southwestern Power Administration, 
$11,006,863 was allocated to the Corps of 
Engineers for project power operating costs, interest, 
investment recovery. 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 
1938 applies. 
Operation during fiscal year. Visitation for FY 1985 
was 2,447,500 visitor days. Work was continued on acquisition 
of land and rights-of-way; relocation of utilities 
and municipal facilities; construction of the powerplant; 
construction of public use facilities; cultural resources 
preservation; and additional exhibitry for the powerhouse 
and visitor center. Construction of measures to 
protect downstream areas from power operation were 
continued. Project is 95 percent complete. During FY 
1985 461,496,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical power 
were generated. Maintenance: Activities consisted of installation 
of pressure cells in the powerhouse, road 
resurfacing, and ordinary operation and maintenance. 
27. STOCKTON LAKE, SAC RIVER, MO 
Location. Damsite is on Sac River about 49.5 miles 
above its confluence with Osage River, and about 2 
miles east of Stockton, Cedar County, Missouri, lake extending 
into Dade and Polk Counties. 
Existing project. A rock-shell dam with impervious 
core about 5,100 feet long constructed to an average 
height of about 128 feet, with a gated overfall spillway 
and a 45,200-kilowatt power installation. Total reservoir 
storage capacity is 1,674,000 acre-feet (774,000 for flood 
control, 25,000 for sediment reserve and 892,000 multipurpose 
storage for power and recreation). Initial cost of 
constructing the completed project was $75,721,000. 
Estimated cost of the project, including $4,179,000 for 
downstream channel work and $502,057 for supplemental 
recreational development (Code 710), is $80,402,057 
(1985). Construction was initiated in October 1963 and 
the project was placed in operation in December 1969. 
Power operation problems were encountered with the 
initial operation in March 1973 because the downstream 
channel did not have the capacity which earlier observations 
and computations indicated. As a result, it has 
been necessary to restrict the power operation to about 
the 30,000 kilowatt level. Right-of-way for construction 
of a channel cutoff and bridge at Horseshoe Bend has 
been acquired and construction has been completed. Remaining 
work consisting of completing acquisition of 
the sloughing easements downstream to Caplinger Mills 
is underway. Completion will assure downstream channel 
capacity to Caplinger Mills of 8,000 c.f.s. for 
powerplant operation. Discharge in this range will accommodate 
power operations at a 39,500 kilowatt level. 
Through September 1985 power generation totaled 
722,427,800 kilowatt-hours. Of the gross income from 
the sale of power by Southwestern Power Administration, 
$14,510,122 was allocated to the Corps of 
Engineers for project operating costs, interest, investment 
recovery. 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 
1938, applies. 
Operations during fiscal year. Visitation for FY 1985 
was 1,798,800 visitor days. The project is complete and 
in operational status. Acquisition of sloughing 
easements downstream to Caplinger Mills was continued. 
The net amount of power marketed with 
Southwestern Power Administration was 88,766,000 
kilowatt-hours. Maintenance: Activities consisted of ordinary 
operation and maintenance.

by revetment of banks, rock dikes to contract and stabilize 
waterway, cutoffs to eliminate long bends, closing 
minor channels, and removal of snags and dredging as 
required. Construction was initiated on this section of 
the project (Sioux City to Rulo) in fiscal year 1928, the 
bank stabilization work was completed in April 1979, 
and the navigation feature was completed in September 
1980. Work remaining to complete this section of the 
project consists of construction of fish and wildlife facilities. 
A reliable channel suitable for navigation is available 
through this section. Controlling depth at ordinary 
stages of the river is 9 feet, with additional depths available 
during high stages. Commercial navigation was inaugurated 
on this section in May 1939, and common carrier 
transportation service was inaugurated in October 
1946. Seven riverside recreation sites are complete and 
in operation. Estimated total cost of new work Sioux 
City, IA to Rulo, NE is $189,632,000 (1984), of which 
$188,045,000 is the Federal cost of construction and 
$1,587,000 is the non-Federal cost, exclusive of amounts 
expended on previous projects.

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 1200 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 1200 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 1200-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. Auxiliary 
lock 56 by 360 feet at McAlpine Locks and Dam has been 
inoperative since failure of downstream lock gates in 
December 1972. Rehabilitation of existing Locks and 
Dams 52 and 53 was started in September 1979 under 
the purview of Section 6, March 1909 Act. Mound City 
was also considered authorized under purview of 1909 Act, 
22-1

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
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, 
1983), exclusive of Gallipolis Locks and Dam reported 
under Kanawha River project is $1,778,840,999, 
estimated non-Federal cost is $14,999,000. 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 at McAlpine Locks and 
Dam was widened to 500 feet. Locks and Dams 43, 44, 
and 45 were replaced by Cannelton Locks and Dam; Locks 
and Dams 46 and 47 were replaced by Newburgh Locks 
and Dam; Locks and Dams 48 and 49 were replaced by 
Uniontown Locks and Dam, presently under construction; 
and Locks and Dams 50 and 51 were replaced by 
Smithland 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 20. The Water Resources Development Act 
of 1974 combined the Newburgh Bank Protection Works 
project with the Newburgh Locks and Dam project. A 
December 1981 Act established the Falls of the Ohio 
National Wildlife Conservation Area near McAlpine 
Locks and Dam to protect and preserve existing fossilized 
coral and a diversity of wildlife. Table 22-J contains data 
relative to various features of locks and dams included 
in existing projects. For list of principal towns and cities 
along Ohio River with their mileage below Pittsburgh, 
PA, see page 1060, 1962 Annual Report. See Table 21-I 
for licenses. 
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-J shows cost and year completion of 
locks and dams now in operation. Existing project does 
not provide adequate facilities for present day navigation 
due to obsolescence ,of structures. Since repair and modernization 
of these facilities would be extremely costly, 
replacement and reconstruction is being accomplished as 
rapidly as funds are made available for the purpose. Construction 
of lock and dam replacement program was 
initiated in fiscal year 1955. New Cumberland, Pike 
Island, Hannibal, Willow Island, Belleville, Racine, 
Greenup, Captain Anthony Meldahl, Markland, 
McAlpine, Cannelton, Newburgh, Uniontown, and 
Smithland replacement locks and dams are in operation, 
replacing 39 old low-lift locks and dams. For total cost of 
existing project, see Table 22-H. 
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 during fiscal year. New work by contract 
and hired labor: 
Emsworth Locks and Dam (Rehabilitation): Upper lock 
miter gates, 110-foot chamber, were installed by hired

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
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, 
IL). Open channel improvement from mouth of Cache 
River to mouth 'f Ohio River is under jurisdiction of 
Mississippi River Commission. 
Existing projects. 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 
4 to 6 feet, and a width, depending upon difficulty 
of running channel, of 400-600 feet; also to permit 
movemment of large coal tows, which movement occurred 
at stages of water exceeding 10 feet, it was necessary 
to remove points of projecting bars which formed at 
various locations along river. Accomplishment of this purpose 
involved concentration of current by closing back 
channels at islands with low dams, contraction and 
straightening wide open channels by low dikes, dredging 
bars and shoals, and removal of snags and wrecks. 
Incidental to direct improvement of Ohio River is construction 
and maintenance of ice piers as required for protection 
of river craft. Stage of extreme high water on Ohio 
River varies from 46 feet at Pittsburgh, Pa., to 80 feet 
at Cincinnati, Ohio, with 57.2 feet at Louisville, Ky. (head 
of falls), 53.8 feet at Evansville, Ind., and 59.5 feet at 
Cairo, Ill. (mouth of river). Estimated cost of new work 
(1960) is $16,160,000, exclusive of following items which 
are considered inactive: Ice piers authorized by 1927 River 
and Harbor Act; reforestation of sloughs on Kentucky 
Peninsula near Evansville, Ind., authorized by 1930 River 
and Harbor Act; dredging to widen channel at certain 
points; and placing revetment at various 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-B for authorizing legislation. 
New work under this project is substantially complete, 
since it is not anticipated that work on inactive portion 
of project will be accomplished. In addition to dredging, 
local stabilization of channel has been effected at various 
points by construction of dikes and revetment. Work 
which remains consists of dredging to widen channels at 
certain points to project depth. 
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 improvements 
at locality (H. Doc. 187, 67th Congr., 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 during fiscal year. Operation and 
maintenance, general: Dredging was done where required 
to provide an adequate and dependable channel of project 
depth at minimum pool conditions. Dikes and 
revetments were 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 $470,906. There was no dredging by hired labor on 
the Ohio River in FY 85. Dredging by contract: Pittsburgh 
District - Contract in the amount of $483,721 was awarded 
on February 1, 1985 for approximately 171,100 cubic 
yards of dredging Dashields Pool, Neville Island Back 
Channel, Pennsylvania (award of contract made by 
Louisville District for contract dredging work for Pittsburgh, 
Huntington and Louisville Districts). Huntington 
District 934,800 cubic yards at $2,518,000 and Louisville 
District 920,497 cubic yards at $1,625,598.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. CUMBERLAND RIVER, TN AND KY 
Location. Formed by junction of Poor and Clover 
Forks in Harlan- County, Ky., about 694.2 miles above 
its mouth, and flows west to Burnside, Ky., from 
whence it makes a locp southwestward into Tennessee, 
passes Nashville, and returns northwestward to 
Kentucky, emptying into Ohio River near Smithland, 
Ky. (See Geological Survey base maps of Tennessee 
and Kentucky.) 
Previous projects. For details see pages 1898 and 
1901 of Annual Report for 1915, and page 1208 of 
Annual Report for 1938, and pages 1069 and 1070 of 
Annual Report for 1962. 
Existing project. Below Nashville: Improvement of 
Cumberland River between mouth and Nashville was 
authorized for 9-foot navigation; increased project 
depth to be obtained by construction of three moderate 
height dams with lockage facilities, designated as 
Kuttawa (Eureka), Dover, and Cheatham, to replace 
existing locks A to F inclusive below Nashville and 
lock 1 above Nashville. (See table 23-B for authorizing 
legislation.) Subsequent authorities provided for 
construction of hydroelectric 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 $178,000,000 Federal funds and $102,966 non- 
Federal funds for recreation facilities under the 
completed projects program (October 1985). (See 
table 23-H 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 at

crest at elevation 1341 above mean sea level, 
reservoir will cover 578 acres and contain 21,120 acrefeet 
of storage capacity. Provision is made for 17,450 
acre-feet of reservoir capacity between elevations 
1341 and 1300 for control of floods in winter and 
spring season, and 14,360 acre-feet (El. 1341-1310) 
during summer and fall, in conjunction with which 
storage of 3,090 acre-feet would be available on a 
seasonal basis to meet streamflow requirements for 
water quality control and fish life below the dam. A 
minimum permanent pool of 3,670 acre-feet, 274 acres 
in extent, will thus be provided during potential flood 
seasons; and during late spring and summer when 
flood storage can be reduced, the lake is to be operated 
generally at a higher level (El. 1310) to maintain a 
larger surface area of 340 acres for recreation and to 
provide the required seasonal storage for releases of 
water during critical 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. Actual cost of project including

provide a 9 foot channel and minimum bottom width 
of 170 feet in river and canal sections and 150 feet in 
the divide cut, with locks 110 by 600 feet clear inside 
dimensions. 
Subsequent studies determined most practical plan consists 
of channel with bottom width of 300 feet (280 feet in 
divide cut), fewer locks with higher lifts resulted in 
reducing number of lifts from 18 to 10 and reduced 
length from 260 to 253 miles.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U. S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation - Locks and Dams 
1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND 
DAMS, OHIO RIVER 
For report on this improvement, see the 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, IN. Barren River 
rises in Monroe County, KY, flows northwesterly 130 
miles, and empties into Green River 1/2 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-H for principal 
features of the locks and dams.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Coal handling facilities located 
on the Green River between miles 81.5 and 108.1 near 
South Carrollton, Rockport, Paradise and Rochester, 
Kentucky, are considered adequate for existing 
commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. Consisted of operation 
and maintenance of Locks and Dams 1 and 2, 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 3 at mile 108.5 Green 
River. Maintenance: Routine maintenance was 
performed. 
Locks and Dams 1 and 2, Green River, and Lock and 
Dam 1, Barren River, are in good condition. Lock and 
Dam 3, Green River, is in fair condition, and Lock 4, 
Green River, is 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 activity was discontinued at 
Lock 4 Green River and Lock and Dam 1 Barren River 
in January 1974 and at Lock 3, Green River in September 
1981. The residences and associated buildings and 
certain real estate at Lock 4 Green River and Lock and 
Dam 1 Barren River were disposed of in January 1975. 
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 teminal at mile 105.7. Channel of Green 
River above Lock 3 is no longer maintained. 
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 joins the main stream at that 
location), flows northwesterly and empties into Ohio River 
at Carrollton, KY, mile 545.8 below Pittsburgh, PA. 
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 places on the three forks that are short 
distances above Beattyville, KY. Length of 6-foot-depth 
project on main stem 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 or higher. 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 
provision of Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act of 
June 26, 1934. (See Table 24-H for principal features of 
the locks and dams.) 
On December 19, 1976 the lock operation schedules for 
commercial traffic and recreational craft on the Kentucky 
River System were reduced from continuous 24-hour yearround 
operation to two shift year-round operation of Locks 
1 through 4, intermittent daily operation of Locks 5 
through 10, and intermittent operation five days weekly 
of Locks 11 through 14. Since that time the hours for 
operation of Locks 5 through 14 have been reduced in 
several increments. On 1 October 1981 Locks 5 through 
14 were closed to traffic and placed in caretaker status. 
Locks 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 were in operation for 15 weekends

maintenance, and replacement of recreation lands 
and facilities. Local interests must also agree to prevent 
encroachments on flow-carrying capacities of stream 
channels below the reservoir to the extent needed to provide 
reasonably effective reservoir operation. Commonwealth 
of Kentucky has indicated intent to fulfill requirements 
for recreation cost sharing and has assumed 
responsibility for channel encroachments and pollution 
control. The Commonwealth furnished assurance 
agreements covering prevention of encroachment on 
capacity of stream channels in April and May 1973 and 
executed the recreation cost sharing contract in April 
1973. On April 2, 1980 the U. S. District Court for the 
Western District of Kentucky ruled that the 1973 recreation 
cost sharing contract between the Commonwealth 
and the United States that provded for repayment after 
completion was invalid under the Kentucky Constitution 
which prohibits one General Assembly from obligating 
future appropriations that would be binding on a subsequent 
legislature. In response to the Court's ruling, the 
Commonwealth and the United States entered into a new 
contract providing for cash contributions. Contract was 
approved by the Secretary of the Army June 11, 1980. The 
contract was found to be valid and enforceable by the 
Court July 14, 1980.

necessary land under their control and give assurance 
that future channel encroachment below damsite would 
be prevented. For enlargement of reservoir to include a 
conservation pool, local interests would contribute onehalf 
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 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 onehalf 
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 the 
license granted by Secretary of the Army on October 31, 
1951. Contract for cost shared recreation development 
under the completed works program was executed by the 
Board of Park Commissioners, Hamilton County Park 
District, Ohio, in September 1975 and approved by the 
Chief of Engineers in December 1975. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: None. 
Maintenance: Routine maintenance was performed. 
Operation for flood control during 1985 flood season 
prevented damages estimated at $350,000. 
Construction started in March 1949 and reservoir was 
placed in operation in December 1952. Project is complete. 
Cost shared recreation development under the completed 
projects program is complete.

Navigation 
1. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND 
DAMS ON THE OHIO RIVER 
See this heading under Chapter 22 - Ohio River 
2. KANAWHA RIVER, WV 
Location. The Kanawha River is approximately 97 
miles in length and is formed by the junction of the New 
and Gauley Rivers, a short distance above Kanawha 
Falls, WV, and flows generally northwesterly to the 
confluence with the Ohio River at Point Pleasant, WV. 
Previous projects. For details of previous projects 
see the Annual Reports for 1875,1915 and 1938. 
Existing project. The existing project consists of 
three navigation structures on the Kanawha River. 
London Locks and Dam are located approximately 83 
miles above the mouth of the Kanawha River and 
approximately two miles downstream from Montgomery, 
WV. Marmet Locks and Dam are located approximately 
68 miles above the mouth of the Kanawha River at 
Marmet, WV. Winfield Locks and Dam are located 
approximately 31 miles above the mouth of the Kanawha 
River at Winfield, WV. Each structure has twin locks 
with usable dimensions of 56 feet by 360 feet. Another 
structure is located on the Ohio River at approximate 
river mile 279 and approximately nine miles below 
Gallipolis, OH. This structure has two parallel locks, the 
main lock is 110 feet by 360 feet. This system of locks and 
dams provides a navigable depth of nine feet from the 
mouth of the Kanawha River to a point approximately 91 
miles upstream. The existing project was completed at a 
cost of $23,403,201. Construction was initiated in 1931 
and completed in 1937. For further cost details see Table 
25-B, see also, Appendix C. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. There are 79 terminals along 
the Kanawha River located from the mouth of the river 
to 30 miles east of Charleston, WV. These terminals are 
constructed principally of steel and wood mooring piles 
and steel pile mooring cells. Seventeen ofthese terminals 
have railroad connections. One terminal, a paved wharf, 
is owned by the City of Charleston, WV. The remaining 
terminals are privately owned. The principal 
commodities handled are coal, chemicals, acids, cement, 
gasoline and oil, and sand and gravel. For further details 
see the 1962 Annual Report. 
Operations during the fiscal year. The Locks and 
Dams were operated as required and necessary repairs 
and improvements were made to the locks and dams as 
well as to the appurtenant structures and grounds. 
Channel inspections were conducted periodically. 
3. OPEN CHANNEL WORK, 
OHIO RIVER 
See this heading under Chapter 22 - Ohio River. 
4. OTHER AUTHORIZED 
NAVIGATION PROJECTS 
See Table 25-C. 
5. ALUM CREEK LAKE, OH 
Location. The damsite is located in Delaware 
County, OH, on Alum Creek, a tributary of Big Walnut 
Creek, approximately 26 miles above the mouth of Alum 
Creek and 15 miles north of Columbus, OH, and 
approximately 157 miles above the mouth of the Scioto 
River. 
Existing project. The existing project consists of a 
rolled earthfill dam 93 feet in height and 10,000 feet in 
length with a gate controlled spillway located in the right 
abutment. The reservoir provides a total storage of 
134,800 acre-feet and controls a drainage area of 
approximately 123 square miles. See also Appendix A. 
Construction of the dam and appurtenant works was 
initiated in August 1970 and completed in July 1974. The 
405 tracts of land required for the project have been 
acquired. The estimate for new work is $56,335,000 
which is to be appropriated and expended by the Federal 
Government. The Sponsor will reimburse the 
Government an estimated $27,880,000, exclusive of 
interest, for cost allocated to water supply. 
Local cooperation. For details of required local 
cooperation see the 1981 Annual Report. 
Operations during the fiscal year. New Work: 
Engineering activities for the remaining work items 
continued. The project is essentially complete, except for 
minor work items such as landscaping and cleanup. 
Operations and Maintenance. The project was 
operated for the benefit of flood control as required, and 
necessary repairs were made to the structure and 
appurtenances. During the fiscal year the project 
prevented flood damages estimated to be $254,000. To 
date, the project has prevented an estimated $37,087,000 
in flood damages. 
6. BEECH FORK LAKE, WV 
Location. The damsite is located in Wayne County, 
WV., on Beech Fork Creek, a tributary of Twelvepole 
Creek, approximately four miles above the mouth of 
Beech Fork Creek and 20 miles above the confluence of 
Twelvepole Creek and the Ohio River.

rolled earth-fill dam 86 feet in height and 1,080 feet in 
length, an uncontrolled spillway landward of the left 
abutment of the dam with a control structure at the 
upstream end. The reservoir provides a total storage of 
37,540 acre-feet and controls a drainage area of 
approximately 78 square miles. Construction of the dam 
was initiated in December 1972 and completed in 
February 1977. See also Appendix A. The 485 tracts of 
land required for the project have been acquired. The full 
funding estimate for new work is $42,400,000. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during the fiscal year. New Work: 
Engineering activities for remaining work items

$2,678,000 in flood damages. 
7. BLUESTONE LAKE, 
OHIO RIVER BASIN, WV 
Location. The damsite is located on the New River 
in Summers County, WV., approximately three miles 
above Hinton, WV and one mile from the confluence of 
the New and Greenbrier Rivers. The reservoir is located 
in Summers County, WV and Giles County, VA. 
Existing project. The existing project consists of a 
concrete gravity dam 180 feet in height and 2,048 feet in 
length. Appurtenant structures consist of a gated 
spillway 790 feet in length located in the channel section

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation - Locks and Dams 
1. ALLEGHENY RIVER, PA 
Location. The Allegheny River is 325 miles long. It 
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. (See Geological Survey Charts for 
western Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.) 
Existing project. The project consists of eight locks and 
dams to afford slack-water navigation for a length of 72 
miles from Pittsburgh, PA to above East Brady, PA. Controlling 
depth through canalized portion is 9 feet at normal 
pool level. Channel width varies from a minimum of 200 
feet to full width of river at mouth. Existing project is 
complete, the last lock, No. 9, was placed in service in 
1938. All locks and dams are in fair 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. 
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-to-rail terminals. Existing 
private terminals are adequate for shipments and receipt 
in Pittsburgh District of type of commerce now in 
existence. 
Operations during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, 
general: Locks were operated as required and 
necessary repairs were made to structures to maintain 
them in a serviceable condition. 
2. CONSTRUCTION OF LOCKS AND 
DAMS, OHIO RIVER 
See this heading under Ohio River portion. 
3. MONONGAHELA RIVER, PA AND WV 
Location. Formed by junction of Tygart and West Fork 
Rivers about 1 mile south of Fairmont, WV, and flows 
northerly for 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 9 
locks and dams to afford slack-water navigation for its 
entire length from Pittsburgh to above Fairmont, WV. 
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 2 were 
originally completed in 1907; major modifications were 
made in 1923 and 1924, and in 1926 the upper guard and 
guide walls were extended. Construction of Maxwell locks 
and dam and the reconstruction of dam 4 have allowed for 
removal of obsolete locks and dams 5 and 6. Small and 
antiquated original locks and dams 10 to 15, inclusive, have 
been replaced by three modern structures. Morgantown 
lock and dam, initial step in replacement program, was 
completed in 1950 replacing locks and dams 10 and 11. 
Hildebrand lock and dam, next upstream, was completed in 
1959 replacing locks and dams 12 and 13. Raising crest 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. 
Locks and dam 3 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 of locks and dam 3 was 
completed on Oct. 27, 1980. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. City of Pittsburgh constructed a 
modern wharf for freight. Boat landings are maintained by 
some municipalities along the river. A large number of tipples 
at mines and various types of hoists at manufacturing 
plants and sand and gravel supply companies are maintained 
for private use in loading and unloading coal, coke, 
billets, steel products, sand, gravel, and other commodities. 
These terminals and docks are not available for general 
commerce. A number of docks and 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 are considered adequate for 
existing commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Study for 
replacement of locks and dams for middle and lower reach 
of river is being conducted as part of the continuing study 
of the entire Monongahela River Basin. The Reconnaissance 
Report on the Monongahela River Navigation 
System, Stage I Studies was submitted in Jan. 1981. A 
Feasibility Study Interim Report on the Monongahela 
River Navigation System was submitted in Jan. 1984. A 
public meeting was held in Oct. 1983. A General Design 
Memorandum for the replacement of Lock and Dam 7 on 
the Monongahela River will be submitted in October 1985. 
Operation and maintenance, general: Locks were operated 
as required and necessary repairs were made to structures 
to maintain them in a serviceable condition. 
4. OPEN-CHANNEL WORK, OHIO 
RIVER 
See this heading under Ohio River portion.

PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 
5. TYGART LAKE, WV 
Location. Tygart Lake is located on the Tygart River in 
Taylor and Barbour Counties, northcentral WV. The lake is 
approximately 26 road miles due east of Clarksburg, WV 
and 30 road miles south of Morgantown. The dam is 
situated 22.7 river miles above the mouth of the Tygart 
River at Fairmont, or 2.25 miles upstream from Grafton, 
WV, and about 78 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. (See Geological 
Survey Charts for Fairmont, Thornton, and 
Belington, WV.) 
Existing project. A reservoir for low water regulation and 
flood control. Dam is concrete gravity type with an 
uncontrolled center spillway flanked by abutment sections 
joining valley sides. Project was authorized by Public 
Works Administration January 11, 1934, and adopted by 
1935 River and Harbor Act. For further project description 
see Annual Report for 1962. 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, flowage 
easements over 1,216.9 acres and 1,731.9 acres of other 
easements. 
Actual cost of recreation facilities at completed project 
through fiscal year 1985 was $1,055,710 of which $409,622 
were non-Federal costs. 
Local cooperation. The State of West Virginia has 
assumed responsibility for the development and operation 
of hunting and fishing areas as well as the Tygart Lake 
State Park. Controlled releases for downstream navigation 
and recreation are also coordinated with others to the 
extent feasible. No local cooperation is required at 
completed project; however, future recreational developments 
are subject to certain conditions of non-Federal costsharing 
under Federal Water Project Recreation Act of 
1965. A cost-sharing agreement was executed with the 
West Virginia Department of Recreation in May 1981. 
Operations 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 
$3,269,000. Total flood control benefits for this reservoir 
through September 30, 1985 are $233,330,000. Activities 
under reservoir management program comprising sanitation 
measures, conservation, land management, and 
operation and maintenance of public-use facilities 
continued. This work was limited in scope as State of West 
Virginia has jurisdiction over recreation in reservoir area. 
6. OTHER AUTHORIZED NAVIGATION 
PROJECTS 
See Table 26-C on other authorized navigation projects. 
Flood Control - Local Protection 
7. ALLEGHENY RIVER, OIL CITY, PA 
Location. Oil City is located in Venango County, PA at 
the junction of Oil Creek and the Allegheny River 
(Allegheny river mile 132.1). (See Geological Survey Chart 
for Oil City, PA.) 
Existing project. To alleviate the long-standing ice jam 
flooding problems in Oil City, a floating ice control 
structure has been located on the Allegheny River about 
one-half mile upstream from the mouth of Oil Creek. It 
consists of a series of 23 floating steel pontoons (each 20' x 
3' x 1.25') and 24 steel cylindrical floats connected together 
by 2 1/4 inch diameter corrosion resistant steel cables. The 
cables are attached to a junction plate in the center of the 
Allegheny River and four anchors (two on each side) on the 
river banks. During non-winter months, one half of the 
structure is disengaged from its anchor to permit navigation. 
A Detailed Project Report Supplement addressing the 
ice formation problem on Oil Creek was submitted in 
September 1985. 
Estimated first cost for project is $1,143,000 of which 
$1,122.000 is Federal cost and $21,000 is non-Federal cost. 
Local cooperation. The City of Oil City is responsible for 
the acquisition of required project land interests and the 
operation and maintenance of the ice control structures. By 
early Sep. 1982, the City had acquired all the necessary 
rights-of-way for the Allegheny River structure. 
Operations during fiscal year. Installation of Allegheny 
River structure with all new additional components 
included was completed in Oct. 1983. 
8. CHARTIERS CREEK, PA 
Location. Within Washington and Allegheny Counties, 
southwestern Pennsylvania, a tributary of Ohio River. 
(See Geological Survey Chart for Carnegie, PA) 
Existing project. Provides for channel widening, deepening 
and realignment, construction of a major channel 
cutoff, and relocations in two separate and independent 
reaches. James G. Fulton project in Allegheny County 
would be about 13.4 miles long and Canonsburg-Houston 
reach in Washington County about 4.7 miles long. Completed 
improvements would contain within banks, all 
floods up to the 1912 maximum of record, but with some 
residual damage, and would greatly reduce flood stages 
and damages resulting from higher floods. James G. 
Fulton Flood Control Project-Construction of Unit 1 was 
started in July 1968, completed in September 1970, and 
turned over to local interests for operation and maintenance 
on June 25, 1971. Construction of Unit 2 (vas 
started in April 1970, completed in April 1973, and turned 
over to local interests on November 22, 1974. Construction 
of Unit 3 was started in July 1971 and was completed in 
December 1974. Construction of Unit 5 was started in 
June 1972 and was Completed in December 1973. Construction 
of Unit 4 channel improvement was started in 
July 1978 and was completed in June 1981. A contract for 
Environmental Improvement, Unit 4, James G. Fulton, 
was awarded in Sep 1981 and completed in Dec 1981. 
Canonsburg-Houston Reach-Construction of Unit 1 was 
started in December of 1968, completed in March 1970, 
and turned over to local interests for operation and 
maintenance on August 10, 1970. Construction of Unit 2A

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
was started January 17, 1976, completed December 16, 
1976, and turned over to local interests on June 9, 1977. 
Construction plans and specifications for Unit 2B, the remaining 
unit of the reach, are 99% complete. Remaining 
work on project has been delayed due to the inability of 
local cooperating agency to provide the necessary rightsof-
way. Project was authorized by Flood Control Act of 
1965. 
Estimated cost for new work (1985) is $41,850,000 of 
which $32,750,000 is Federal cost and $9,100,000 non- 
Federal cost. 
Local cooperation. Requirements are described in full on 
page 26-3 of FY 1981 Annual Report. Local cooperating 
agency (Washington County) has been unable to provide 
the necessary rights-of-way for the remaining Unit 2B. 
Direct non-Federal contributions have been made in the 
amount of $4,225,188. 
Operations during fiscal year. Regular inspections were 
made at completed units. Estimated flood control benefits 
achieved by the Chartiers Creek project through 
September 30, 1985, totaled $12,431,000. 
9. ELKINS, WV 
Location. On Tygart River in north-central Randolph 
County, WV, about 155 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. It 
is at downstream end of a long, broad reach of upper 
Tygart Valley, about 75 miles above mouth of river. (See 
Geological Survey Chart for Elkins, WV) 
Existing project. Provides flood protection by diverting 
flood discharges from upstream arm of loop of natural 
river channel into an artificial cutoff channel, thereby 
bypassing City of Elkins. Improvement is designed to 
accommodate discharges equivalent to maximum flood of 
reasonable expectancy. Project construction was started 
May 1946 and completed May 1949. Completed works, 
except that portion of channel maintained by Federal 
Government, has been operated and maintained by City of 
Elkins since March 31, 1949. Land acquired for project 
consists of 32.04 acres in fee and 526.01 acres in 
easements. Project was authorized by 1938 Flood Control 
Act. For further project description see Annual Report for 
1962, page 1222. Federal cost of completed project was 
$1,772,627; estimated non-Federal cost for lands, 
easements, and rights-of-way was $40,000. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Operations during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, 
general: Routine inspections were made. Cumulative 
total flood damages prevented to September 30, 1985, 
totaled $4,156,000. 
10. GIRTY'S RUN, MILLVALE, PA 
Location. Girtys Run rises in the Fox Ridge area of the 
southern portion of McCandless Township, Allegheny 
County, and flows generally southeast through Ross and 
Shaler Townships and the Borough of Millvale to enter the 
Allegheny River from the right bank at River Mile 3.6 
above the "Point" at Pittsburgh. (See U.S Geological 
Survey chart for Pittsburgh, PA, East.) 
Existing project. To decrease flooding conditions in the 
Borough of Millvale area, project consists of lowering the 
existing channel bottom within the limits of the existing 
walls. The lowering was accomplished by a 16-foot average 
bottom width of cut in rock or overburden averaging 
4 feet in depth in the lower 2,750 feet of the project and 2 
1/2 feet in depth for the remaining portion. Existing 
masonry walls of the channel were replaced and/or 
stabilized where required. Construction of project 
complete on June 26, 1980. Project was authorized for 
construction by the Chief of Engineers under authority of 
Section 205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act as amended. 
Federal cost is $2,000,000; estimated non-Federal cost 
of lands, easements and rights-of-way, utility 
adjustments, and amount in excess of $2 million 
limitation established by Section 205 of the 1948 Flood 
Control Act as amended, is estimated at $1,361,722. 
Local cooperation. Requirements are described in full 
on page 26-4 of FY 1981 Annual Report. The Commonwealth 
of Pennsylvania and the County of Allegheny, 
Pennsylvania, have each agreed to provide to the 
Borough of Millvale 50% of all estimated non-Federal 
costs, currently estimated at $1,361,722. To date, nonfederal 
contributions have totaled $701,722; a formal 
request for the additional $660,000 has been presented to 
the Borough of Millvale. 
Operations during fiscal year. Work on the project 
started July 11, 1976 with a scheduled completion date of 
November 22, 1977; however, by that date the contract 
work had progressed to only about 50% of completion 
and it was found necessary to terminate that contract for 
default due to unsatisfactory and untimely performance. 
Subsequently, a new contract for completion of the remaining 
work was made on May 4, 1978 and work was 
completed July 26, 1980 at a cost of $2,091,522.95. 
Formal hearings were held on July 26, 1978 before the 
Division Engineer and July 8-15, 1980, inclusive, before 
the Engineer Board of Contract Appeals regarding the 
appeal of the defaulted contractor. In July 1982, an 
agreement was reached with the surety and default contractor 
regarding the liability resulting from the 
termination. Modification effecting settlement and release 
stipulation was finalized, resulting in payment to 
Government of $464,340.66. 
11. JOHNSTOWN, PA 
Location. Project is located in southwestern Cambria 
County, PA, about 58 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA. It is in 
a deep and comparatively narrow valley at junction of 
Stoney Creek and Little Conemaugh River, which unite to 
form Conemaugh River. (See Geological Survey Chart for 
Johnstown, PA.) 
Existing project. Provides for increased channel capacity 
by enlarging and realigning channels and protecting banks 
with concrete pavement. Improvement designed to accommodate 
discharges equivalent to those of March 1936 flood, 
maximum natural flow of record, minimum of overbank 
flow and to practically eliminate damages therefrom. 
Project construction began in August 1938 and was 
completed November 1943. Footer protection for Unit 4

PITTSBURGH, PA., DISTRICT 
was completed in November 1949. Land acquired for project 
consists of easements over 192 acres. Project was 
authorized by Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1937. For 
further project description see Annual Report for 1962, 
page 1215. 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of June 
28, 1938, applies. 
Operations during fiscal year. Operation and maintenance, 
general: Operation activities and routine investigations 
and inspections were made. Cumulative flood damages 
prevented by project were estimated to be 
$417,470,000 to end of September 1985. 
12. PUNXSUTAWNEY, OHIO RIVER 
BASIN, PA 
Location. Borough of Punxsutawney is on Mahoning 
Creek in Jefferson County, PA, about 85 miles northeast 
of Pittsburgh, PA. It is on a comparatively wide, alluvial 
flood plain about 52 miles above mouth of stream and 30 
miles above Mahoning Creek flood control dam. (See 
Geological Survey Charts for Punxsutawney and 
Smicksburg, PA.) 
Existing project. Provides flood protection by channel 
enlargement, dikes, and walls. Improvement is designed to 
accommodate discharges 20% greater than that of maximum 
flood of record. Construction was accomplished by 
construction of four units. Construction started May 1946 
and was completed June 1950. Land acquired for project 
consists of perpetual easements over 72.6 acres. 
Completed works, except that portion of channel maintained

which manages this reach under the Wild and Scenic 
Waterways classification. 
5. WARROAD HARBOR AND RIVER, 
MN 
Location. At southwestern extremity of Lake of 
the Woods, 36 miles west of mouth of Rainy River. 
(See NOAA Nautical Chart 14999). 
Existing project. Provides for a channel 8 feet 
deep from landing at Warroad to deep water in lake, 
channel being 9,200 feet long, 200 feet wide within 
harbor, and 300 feet wide out in lake; for a turning 
basin 500 by 900 feet to a depth of 8 feet; and for a 
pile-brush stone jetty on north side of channel 
extending from shore 700 feet into the lake. For 
additional details see page 1027 of Annual Report for 
1965. Portion of dredging of entrance channel and 
turning basin to complete project width and depth 
was considered unnecessary to meet present navigation 
requirements, and classified inactive was deauthorized 
on August 5, 1977, under Section 12 of 
Public Law 93-251. Estimated cost (1954) of this 
portion was $355,200. (See table 27-B for authorization 
legislation.) 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. There is one publicly owned 
wharf. There are two commercial fish wharves, one of 
which is served by a spur track, and a number of 
minor wharves, all privately owned. Facilities are 
adequate for existing commerce. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. 
Maintenance: Environmental review cost $2,848 by 
hired labor. Administrative costs were $143. 
Condition at end of fiscal year: Project is complete.

as a rubble mound in 1929 is in good condition. 
Turning basin at Warroad wharves was completed in 
1911, and a channel 200 feet wide and 8 feet deep in 
1915. Controlling depth in river channel and lake 
approach channel was 6 feet below low-water datum 
for a minimum width of 100 feet. A walkway on the 
jetty is provided for public use. A revetment wall, 
constructed under Section 2 of Public Law 269, 69th 
Congress, in accordance with Article VIII of the Lake 
of the Woods Treaty, has deteriorated and will require 
future maintenance. 
Flood Control 
6. BASSETT CREEK, MN 
Location. In Hennepin County and Minneapolis, 
Minnesota, on Bassett Creek, a tributary of the 
Mississippi River. (For general location, see Geological 
Survey map of Minnesota.) 
Existing project. The proposed project consists of 
nonstructural and structural flood control measures. 
Nonstructural measures include continuation of 
existing floodplain regulations, flood insurance and 
forecasting, and flood warning. Principal structural 
measures consist of six small control structures in the 
upper watershed to temporarily impound floodwaters 
and a new tunnel (part of which is being constructed 
on a cooperative basis with the Minnesota Department 
of Transportation) in a highly urbanized area of 
Minneapolis to replace the existing tunnel outletting 
Bassett Creek to the Mississippi River. Also included 
in the plan are a limited reach of channel widening, 
bridge removals, culvert replacements, a weir structure, 
a flood storage area, and a railroad bridge 
replacement. Estimated Federal cost (1985) for new

8.BLACK BEAR AND MILLER LAKES, 
CROW WING COUNTY, MN 
Location. Black Bear and Miller Lakes are near 
the center of the State, 20 miles north of Brainerd, 
Minnesota. The two lakes lie adjacent to the left (east) 
side of the Mississippi River. Miller Lake is linked to 
Black Bear Lake by a very short channel. In turn, 
Black Bear Lake is joined to the Mississippi River by 
a one-half mile creek. 
Existing project. Spring high water on the

Work: Planning activities were continued relative to 
coordination of the project plan with Canadian interests. 
Engineering and design and supervision and 
administration cost, $19,271. 
Condition at end of fiscal year: Planning is in 
progress and coordination with Canadian interests is 
underway. The general design memorandum was 
submitted in October 1971 and approved in March 
1972. Design memorandum supplements which contain 
dimensions of environmental features added to 
the project were submitted in October 1975 and June 
1980 and approved in November 1975 and July 1980, 
respectively. An EIS supplement was filed with the 
EPA in October 1981. 
32. SHEPARD ROAD, MISSISSIPPI 
RIVER, ST. PAUL, MN 
Location. In Ramsey County along the Mississippi 
River in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. 
27-14

ST. PAUL MINNESOTA DISTRICT 
Existing project. The project to protect the streambank 
from erosion which threatens Shepard Road is 
authorized under Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control 
Act, as amended. A reconnaissance report dated March 
1983 recommended breaking existing grouted slope 
protection, placing approximately 6,700 cubic yards 
of rock-fill and modifying existing storm sewer outfalls 
along the left bank of the Mississippi River from 
Wabasha Street to 300 feet above Robert Street, a 
distance of about 900 linear feet. The project was 
approved by the Chief of Engineers for construction 
on June 6, 1983. The project was modified during the 
summer of 1984 to include 300 additional feet of bank 
protection upstream from Wabasha Street. 
Total Federal cost for the project was $250,000 
which is the maximum permissible under Section 14. 
The City of St. Paul contributed $62,600 to the project. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. See Annual 
Report for 1983 for requirements. 
A local cooperation agreement required by Public 
Law 91-611 was adopted by the City of St. Paul in 
July 1983. The project was officially transferred to 
the City of St. Paul for operation and maintenance by 
letter dated January 22, 1985. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: Construction of bank protection by contract 
cost $46,658. Supervision and administration cost 
$37. The project, as modified, was completed and 
transferred to the City of St. Paul for operation and 
maintenance. 
33. SHEYENNE RIVER FLOOD 
CONTROL, ND (Formerly Kindred 
Lake) 
Location. The Sheyenne River Basin is included 
in 16 counties in the southeastern portion of North 
Dakota and drains an area of 7,140 square miles into 
the Red River of the North near Fargo, North Dakota. 
The principal area of flood damages in the basin is 
located at the lower end within Cass County and the 
City of West Fargo. The authorized Kindred Lake 
project is in Richland County, ND, on the Sheyenne 
River, about 70 miles above its mouth and 5 miles 
above Kindred, ND. (For general location, see 
Geological Survey map of North Dakota.) 
Existing project. The authorized project provides 
for a multiple-purpose impoundment for flood control, 
water quality control, recreation, and fish and wildlife 
purposes to control the runoff from 3,014 square 
miles. The improvements would be coupled with a 
revised operating plan for the existing Baldhill Dam 
and with appropriate flood plain management measures 
at communities along the river. See Annual 
Report for 1973 for details. Project was authorized by 
1970 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 330, 91st Cong., 2d 
sess., contains latest published map.) Due to local 
concerns, a changed set of planning criteria, and 
potential changed conditions, a complete reformulation 
and reevaluation of alternatives was undertaken 
during preconstruction planning. The reevaluation 
studies showed that another alternative plan is more 
favorable than the authorized project. The General 
Reevaluation Report, completed in 1982, recommends 
implementation of a plan other than the authorized 
plan. The plan recommended in the General Reevaluation 
Report includes levees and diversions at West 
Fargo/Riverside, a flood diversion channel from 
Horace to West Fargo, and a five foot raise of the flood 
control pool at Baldhill Dam. Other actions are also 
identified that could be taken by non-Federal interests 
to enhance the degree of flood damage reduction 
provided by the overall plan. This new plan represents 
a significant change from the authorized project 
and recommends deauthorization of the Kindred Lake 
project and reauthorization of the new plan. The 
estimated Federal cost (1985) of the plan, based on 
traditional cost-sharing requirements is $26,600,000. 
Local cooperation. See Annual Report for 1971 
for requirements of the project as authorized. On July 
7, 1982, and May 20, 1983, the North Dakota State 
Water Commission furnished a letter of support for 
the recommended plan for flood control in the lower 
Sheyenne River Basin and also expressed its willingness 
to act as a non-Federal sponsor. On August 2, 
1982, and July 30, 1982, respectively, the City of West 
Fargo and the Southeast Cass Water Resource District 
furnished letters of support and indicated their 
willingness to cooperate with the North Dakota State 
Water Commission. The Southeast Cass Water Resource 
District reiterated its support of the project by 
letter dated March 30, 1984. Formal assurances of 
local cooperation will be requested after completion of 
the General Design Memorandum. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a 
cost of $245,105. 
Condition at end of fiscal year: Preconstruction 
planning is in progress. 
34. STATE ROAD AND EBNER 
COULEES, WI 
Location. In La Crosse County in west-central 
Wisconsin, on the south side of the City of La Crosse. 
(For general location, see Geological Survey map of 
Wisconsin.) 
Existing project. The plan of improvement for 
local protection (flood control) consists of channel 
deepening and enlarging downstream from Hagen 
Bridge to the mouth of Pammel Creek and includes 
10,200 feet of concrete-lined rectangular channel, a 
drop chute inlet structure, a side channel inlet structure, 
a stilling basin, a terminus structure, and three 
new street bridges. The upper 4,000 feet of rectangular 
channel is designed for supercritical flow and the 
remaining 6,200 feet of channel is designed for subcritical 
flow. Wh en completed, the project will provide 
Standard Proje~t Flood (SPF) protection. The city 
replaced a fourth bridge in 1980 that was previously 
included in the authorized plan. The city also 
27-15

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
replaced a railroad bridge in 1985 that was also 
included in the authorized plan. Estimated cost (1985) 
to the United States for new work, exclusive of the 
Ebner Coulee portion of the project which was deleted 
due to lack of economic feasibility, is $30,300,000. 
Project was authorized by 1968 Flood Control Act (H. 
Doc. 360, 90th Cong., 2d sess., contains published 
map.) 
Local cooperation. See page 826 of Annual Report 
for 1969. The local sponsor withdrew support for the 
project in 1976 citing increased non-Federal costs and 
lack of agreement on local cost sharing between three 
local units of government located within the project 
area. The project was reclassified as inactive on April 
7, 1977, but was reactivated on November 8, 1978, 
after the La Crosse County Board of Supervisors, the 
La Crosse City Council, and the Town of Shelby 
passed separate resolutions on September 17, 1978, 
July 13, 1978, and July 10, 1978, respectively, which 
requested continuance of the project. All three groups 
reaffirmed their support by letter in July 1981. On 
October 4, 1982, the City of La Crosse furnished a 
letter in further support for the project and acknowledged 
that it would serve as the local sponsor. The 
City sent a letter of intent again on December 13, 
1984, and furnished letter of assurance September 17, 
1985. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a 
cost of $323,466. 
Condition at end of fiscal year: Preconstruction 
planning is completed. Plans and specifications for 
the first stage of construction are complete. Ebner 
Coulee has been recommended for reclassification to 
"inactive" due to lack of economic feasibility. 
35. TWIN VALLEY LAKE, WILD RICE 
RIVER, MN 
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, 
MN. 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. The project authorization provides 
for reservoir development on the Wild Rice 
River near Twin Valley, Minnesota, for flood damage 
reduction, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. 
The principal features include an 84 foot high, 
7,700 foot long, earthen dam, a gated concrete spillway 
with concrete chute and stilling basin, a 10 foot 
diameter gated circular conduit for low flow outlet 
works, and recreation development on the created 
540-acre reservoir. 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. 
Approximately 2,200 additional acres will be acquired 
to offset fish and wildlife habitat losses associated 
with project construction. 
Estimated Federal cost (1985) for new work is 
$30,100,000. 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, September 19, 1978, and August 26, 
1981, has declared its intention to provide local cooperation 
for recreation and fish and wildlife enhancement. 
By letters dated August 17, 1982, and 
August 31, 1984, the Wild Rice Watershed Board expressed 
their support and intent to provide local 
cooperation requirements and participate in innovative 
financing for flood control. The Norman County 
Board of Commissioners has also indicated the capability 
to provide assurances of local cooperation relating 
to flood control improvments. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: Preconstruction planning was continued at a 
cost of $45,983. 
Condition at end of fiscal year: Preconstruction 
planning is in progress. Project requires further 
authorization for mitigation lands. 
36. VETERAN'S MEMORIAL LEVEE, 
MISSISSIPPI RIVER, HASTINGS, 
MN 
Location. In Dakota County on the Mississippi 
River approximately 20 miles southeast of St. Paul, 
Minnesota. 
Existing project. In the early 1980's, a section of 
bank along the Mississippi River between Highway 
61 and Milwaukee Railroad bridges in Hastings was 
threatened by erosion. Located within this reach is a 
park (Veteran's Memorial Levee) which is historically 
significant because of the role the area played during 
the riverboat era. Part of the park is occupied by a 
road which is an alternate route for emergency vehicles. 
In order to provide protection to this area, an 
erosion control project consisting of the placement of 
a 15-inch thick layer of riprap over 9 inches of bedding 
was constructed. 
The project was approved by the Chief of Engineers 
for construction June 29, 1983, under the authority 
contained in Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control Act, 
as amended and completed in July 1984. Total Federal 
cost for the proposed project was $182,000. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. See Annual 
Report for 1983 for requirements. 
A local assurance agreement required by Public 
Law 91-611 was adopted by the City of Hastings in 
August 1983.

37. WILD RICE RIVER, MAHNOMEN 
COUNTY, MN 
Location. In Mahnomen County, in west central 
Minnesota on the Wild Rice River about 1.4 miles 
southwest of the City of Mahnomen. 
Existing project. The project to protect the streambank 
from erosion which threatens County-State Aid 
Highway (CSAH) #5 is authorized under Section 14 of 
the 1946 Flood Control Act as amended. The initial 
appraisal report, dated September 1984, recommended 
protection with 320 cubic yards of gravel bedding and 
660 cubic yards of riprap along about 450 feet of 
eroding riverbank. The project was approved for construction 
by the Office Chief of Engineers on June 18, 
1985. Total Federal cost of the the project is estimated 
at $58,500. 
Local cooperation. A local cooperation agreement 
required by Public Law 91-611 was adopted by the 
County of Mahnomen, Minnesota, in August 1985. 
Local interests are required to provide without cost to 
the United States all lands, easements, and rights-ofway 
necessary for construction, operation, and maintenance 
to the project; accomplish without cost to the 
United States all required alterations and relocations 
in sewer, water supply, drainage, and other utility 
facilities; hold and save the United States free from 
damages due to the construction, operation, and maintenance 
of the project except where such damages are 
due to the fault or negligence of the United States or 
its contractors; maintain the project after completion; 
assume full responsibility for all project costs in 
excess of the Federal cost limit of $250,000; provide a 
cash contribution for project costs in proportion to 
any special benefits to non-public property; comply 
with applicable provisions of the Uniform Relocations 
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies 
Act of 1970, Public Law 91-646, approved January 2, 
1971, in acquiring lands, easements, and rights-ofway 
for construction and subsequent maintenance of 
the project and inform affected persons of pertinent 
benefits, policies and procedures in connection with 
said Act; comply with the Section 601 of Title VI of 
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Public Law 88-352) and 
Department of Defense Directive 5500.11 issued pursuant 
thereto and published in Part 300 of Title 32, 
Code of Federal Regulations, in connection with the 
construction and subsequent maintenance and operation 
of the project. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: A construction contract cost $30,000. North 
Central Division real estate cost $500. Engineering

protection was awarded in August 1985. Project was 
85 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. 
38. WILD RICE RIVER-SOUTH 
BRANCH AND FELTON DITCH, 
MN 
Location. In Clay and Norman Counties in westcentral 
Minnesota northeast of the City of Moorhead, 
MN. 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. 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 was executed by the Wild Rice 
Watershed District on October 18, 1978.

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 
27-17

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
for restudy and $17, 316 was contributed by local 
interests. 
Improvement authorized in 1971 under Section 201 
of the Flood Control Act of 1965 (H. Doc. 152, 92d 
Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published map) provides 
for levee and floodwall protection with necessary 
interior drainage works for the riverfront and 
the Lake Winona closure reaches, as well as a sound 
floodplain management program to prevent unwise 
development of the area bordered by U.S. Highway 61 
and Burns Valley and Pleasant Valley Creeks. The 
plan would also provide the downstream flood barrier 
needed to prevent Mississippi River backup flows 
from entering Lake Winona and inundating the area 
now only partially protected by the completed segment 
of the project authorized by the 1958 Flood 
Control Act. The selected plan would also provide 
control of Burns Valley Creek by means of channel 
improvement, raising and extending the existing 
levee system, a drop structure, an erosion control 
structure, alteration of two highway bridges, and a 
sewer line modification. Earth levees averaging 10 
feet in height total approximately 3.1 miles in length. 
Concrete floodwalls, also averaging about 10 feet in 
height, total about 2,025 feet in length. Estimated 
Federal cost (1985) for new work is $30,429,000 and 
$572,000 was contributed by local interests. Resolutions 
authorizing the project were adopted by the 
Public Works Committees of the House on July 29, 
1971, and the Senate on November 18, 1971. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for completed 
work. See page 833 of Annual Report for 1968 
for requirements. 
For improvements authorized in 1971 see Annual 
Report of 1972 for requirements. A local cooperation 
agreement required under Section 221 of the 1970 
Flood Control Act was executed by the City of Winona 
on October 6, 1978. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
Work: Construction contracts for Reaches B, C, and E 
cost $121,640, $5,208 and $2,335,298, respectively. A 
dredge fill contract cost $42,313. Engineering and 
design cost $9,115 by contract and $120,856 by hired 
labor. Real estate management by NCD cost $291. A 
switch gear replacement contract cost $31,717. Supervision 
and administration and other miscellaneous 
costs were $104,227. 
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. All work authorized in 1971 is complete except 
the final clean up of bridge relocation on Burns Valley 
Creek. Project was formally dedicated by the city on 
October 13, 1985. 
40. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED 
FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS 
Flood control projects turned over to local interests 
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-K on inspection of completed

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Navigation 
1. ILLINOIS AND MISSISSIPPI 
CANAL, IL 
Location. This canal extends for 75 miles from the 
Illinois River near LaSalle, IL, to the Mississippi River at 
Rock Island, IL. A feeder canal, 29 miles in length, extends 
from the summit level of the canal to the Rock River at 
Rock Falls, IL. 
Existing project. See pages 1306-1308 of Annual Report 
for 1962 for details regarding project. The canal was constructed 
in the period 1892-1918. The canal has not been 
operated for navigation since June 1951 in accordance with 
Corps policy to discontinue operation of waterways affording 
little or no benefit to navigation. The River and Harbor 
Act of 1958 authorized the appropriation of $2,000,000 for 
the purpose of placing the canal in proper condition for 
public recreational use and to convey and transfer the canal 
to the State of Illinois as part of the State park system. The 
repair and modification program was initiated in 1961, and 
a number of canal features have been repaired or modified. 
In connection with this program, fee title to 1,062 acres 
and recreational flowage easements over 309 acres of land 
in Rock River at Rock Falls, formerly under navigation 
flowage easement, have been acquired. The State of Illinois 
accepted title to the canal as of August 1, 1970. The River 
and Harbor Act of 1970 authorized the additional appropriation 
of $6,528,000 to be expended for the repair, modification, 
and maintenance of bridges, title transfer, modification 
or rehabilitation of hydraulic structures, fencing, clearing 
auxiliary ditches, and for the repair and modification 
of other canal property appurtenances. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. During FY 1982, a 
judgment of the Court of Appeals, 7th Circuit, directed that 
a fund of $2,812,658 plus interest at 12 percent per annum 
computed from February 23, 1979, be established by the 
United States in the District Court from which payments 
are to be made to plaintiffs for required repairs to Illinois 
and Mississippi Canal bridges. Actual payment for the 
judgment award was $3,722,572, which included interest 
at 12 percent through November 4, 1981. Engineering and 
design work in connection with this matter cost $330,888 
during FY 1985. 
2. ILLINOIS WATERWAY, IL AND IN 
Location. Illinois River (entirely within State of Illinois),

streams, tributary to the Rock River, at Milan, Rock Island 
County, IL. 
Existing project. The existing project provided for flood 
protection at the village of Milan necessitated by the construction 
of the Illinois and Mississippi Canal. The project 
consisted of diversion of Mill Creek into South Slough, 
floodgates in the walls of the Illinois and Mississippi Canal 
to carry Mill Creek flood waters across the canal right-ofway 
into Rock River, levees, and other works for flood protection. 
The project was constructed in 1931-1932. In 
1962-1963, $73,366 was expended from Illinois and 
Mississippi Canal maintenance funds for restoration of the 
Mill Creek outlet into Rock River. See Table 28-B for 
authorizing legislation. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with.

"Mississippi River between Missouri River and Minneapolis, 
MN." 
5. MUSCOOTEN BAY, ILLINOIS RIVER, IL 
Location. Muscooten Bay is located along the left bank of 
the Illinois River at the northeast edge of the city of Beardstown, 
IL. The Beardstown Community Boat Harbor 
occupies part of the bay. 
Existing project. Sedimentation in the bay restricted the 
use of the boat harbor, particularly at the entrance. The 
existing project provided for the construction of a bedload 
diversion rock dike to reduce sedimentation and the dredging 
of a 1,700-foot navigation channel. 
Local cooperation. Section 107 of the River and Harbor 
Act of 1960 applies. In addition, local interests must 
comply with applicable provisions of the Uniform Relocation 
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act 
of 1970; comply with Section 601 of Title VI of the Civil 
Rights Act of 1964; contribute all project costs in excess 
of the Federal statutory limitation of $2,000,000; provide 
and maintain berthing areas, floats, piers, slips, and similar 
facilities; provide utilities, relocations, and alterations; and 
grant the Federal Government the right to enter upon 
project lands. Local interests must also bear one-half the 
first cost of the general navigation features. Assurances of 
local cooperation were approved on August 18, 1983. 
Operations during fiscal year. Project construction 
was completed. Costs during the year were $18,414. 
6. UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER 
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 
PROGRAM, IL, IA, MN, MO, WI

Mississippi River Basin Association (report dated January 
1982). Project features include long-term resources 
monitoring, habitat rehabilitation and enhancement, 
recreation improvement and studies, traffic monitoring, 
and computerized inventory and analysis. The project will 
be initiated in FY 1986 utilizing funds provided by the 
FY 1985 Supplemental Appropriation Act. The execution 
of the project will be closely coordinated with the Upper 
Mississippi River Basin Association, other Federal agencies, 
affected States, and local communities. 
Local cooperation. Local cooperation agreements will 
be sought as required.

River in Story County, IA, about 5 miles upstream from 
the city of Ames, IA. 
28-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Existing project. Major project features would include 
a dam constructed of compacted impervious earth with 
gated outlet works and spillway; a subimpoundment forming 
a 30-acre lake by blocking a ravine with embankment 
for access road crossing the dam; relocations consisting of 
roads, telephone and power lines; and remedial protection 
for Story City by levee and street raises. The conservation 
pool would have a surface area of 2,100 acres and the full 
flood control pool would have a surface area of 5,000 acres. 
The project was authorized to store water for flood control, 
water quality control, recreati6n, and fish and wildlife 
benefits. 
Local cooperation. By letter dated October 26, 1973, 
the Governor of IA advised "There is general agreement 
that the project provides definite flood control benefits to 
the downstream landowner. However, the costs associated 
with it and the values to be foregone as a result of the 
project outweigh the benefits. Therefore, at this time, the 
State's position must be that of general opposition to the 
project." Due to the State's position in regard to the project, 
it was reclassified from the "active" to the "inactive" 
category on June 20, 1974. Recently, there has been 
renewed congressional and local interest in this project. By 
letter dated March 6, 1984, the city of Ames, IA, provided 
a copy of a resolution that the City Council adopted 
February 28, 1984, requesting reactivitation of the project. 
The project was approved for reactivation on July 2, 1984. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Effort wasinitiated 
on a General Reevaluation Report (GRR). Costs

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Lake supplements capacity of downstream Lake Red Rock 
at river mile 142.9.. The two lakes provide a high degree 
of flood protection to the lower Des Moines River Valley. 
Reaches along the Mississippi River downstream from the 
mouth of the Des Moines River are also benefited. 
A project modification plan to minimize the adverse environmental 
effects at Ledges State Park, located upstream 
from the dam, was authorized in 1976. The project modification 
includes relocation of affected park facilities, acquisition 
of additional park land, and the development of 
a floodway corridor, with recreational facilities, from the 
dam downstream to Sixth Avenue in Des Moines. 
Construction began in June 1965, and the dam was placed 
in operation for the storage of flood water in April 1977. 
Remedial work in Big Creek Valley, consisting of a diversion 
dam and channel and a barrier dam, for the protection 
of the town of Polk City was completed in December 1974. 
The land acquisition program involved 25,924 acres acquired 
in fee, flowage easements for 1,858 acres, and roadway 
easements for 40 acres. The estimated project cost is 
$126,056,000, including $2,660,000 non-Federal cost as a

of the Rock River in the vicinity of Rockford, IL, lies in 
Winnebago County, IL, on the northeast boundary of the 
city of Rockford, 17 miles south of the IL-WI State line. 
The project would provide local flood protection (100-year 
level) for the city of Loves Park, IL, against flooding of 
Loves Park Creek (formerly called the Large Unnamed 
Creek). Protection measures would consist of 17,900 feet 
of channel improvements, a 75,000 GPM pump plant, and 
ponding. Congress has appropriated funds for preconstruction 
planning and engineering studies at Loves Park. A 
General Reevaluation Study was initiated on October 17, 
1984. FY 1985 cost for initiation of work on the General 
28-6

ROCK ISLAND, IL, DISTRICT 
Reevaluation Report (GRR) was $187,644. 
The South Quincy, IL, project is located in the South 
Quincy Drainage and Levee District in Adams County, IL. 
The existing project protects 5,800 acres of agricultural, 
commercial, industrial, and residential lands from floods 
up to a 50-year chance of occurrence. The proposed plan 
would raise the level of protection to a 500-year chance of 
occurrence. The levee is about 8.8 miles long and starts in 
the vicinity of Curtis Creek and Highway 57 on the north, 
runs along the south bank of Curtis Creek, along the east 
bank of the Mississippi River, and along the north bank 
of Mill Creek, and ends in the area of Mill Creek and Highway 
57. Fiscal 1985 work on the project includes a General 
Reevaluation Report (GRR) and initiation of a General 
Design Memorandum (GDM) at a cost of $138,466. 
Total cost for continuation of planning and engineering 
was $326,110. 
25. ADVANCE ENGINEERING AND 
DESIGN 
The Hannibal, MO, project area is on the right bank of 
the Mississippi River at the city of Hannibal, MO, 309 miles 
above the mouth of the Ohio River. The project would provide 
flood protection to the business and industrial area 
of the city of Hannibal by the construction of a system of 
levees and floodwalls. The plan also included a pumping 
plant, closure structures for railroads and streets, alteration 
of the existing sewage system, and a tainter gate closure 
at the mouth of Bear Creek. Advance planning on the 
project was begun in 1962; however, in 1965 further work 
was discontinued because of lack of local support. Local 
interest revived in 1979, and the project was reclassified 
from "inactive" to the "active" category. A study has been 
undertaken to reformulate the project to meet existing 
needs of the project area and to reflect current Federal and 
State criteria for water resources projects. No action toward 
fulfillment of local cooperation requirements has been 
taken. Detailed studies for reformulation of the project and 
evaluation of alternatives were continued at a cost of 
$80,692. 
The Moline, IL, project is located on the left bank of the 
Mississippi River, 485.7 miles above the mouth of the Ohio 
River, in Rock Island County, IL. Local protection at Moline 
from Mississippi River floods to be provided by construction 
of 4 miles of earth levee and floodwall, closure structures, 
aesthetic and recreational development, and interior 
drainage facilities consisting of gravity outlets, storm sewer 
interceptors, and pumping plants. Construction has not yet 
been initiated due to gaps in Federal funding. Local interests 
will be requested to furnish assurances after a firm 
project plan is established. Preconstruction planning continued 
at a cost of $48,410. 
Total cost for advance engineering and design was 
$129,102.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER 
BETWEEN MISSOURI RIVER 
AND MINNEAPOLIS, MN 
Section of river covered in this report is divided into 
three reaches, under supervision and direction of District 
Engineers at St. Louis, Rock Island, and St. Paul. Section 
in St. Louis District extends 105 miles from Mouth of 
Missouri River to Upper Mississippi River mile 300 above 
Location. Mississippi River rises in northern part of 
Minnesota, flows about 2,360 miles southerly and empties 
into Gulf of Mexico. Portion included in this report extends 
about 663 miles from mouth of Missouri River to 
Soo Line Railroad bridge, Minneapolis. Latest map and 
profile showing this section of river is in House Document 
669, 76th Congress, 3d session. A map showing Lake Pepin 
is in House Document 511, 79th Congress, 2d session. 
A map of section Minneapolis to Dubuque is in House 
Document 515, 79th Congress, 2d session. A map showing 
location of drainage districts (Bellevue, Iowa, to Missouri 
River) is in River and Harbors Committee Document 34, 
75th Congress, 1st session. 
Previous projects. See page 1199 of Annual Report 
for 1963. 
Existing project. Provides for a channel of 9-foot depth 
and adequate width between mouth of Missouri river (1,179 
miles from the gulf) and Soo Line Railroad at Minneapolis, 
by construction of a system of locks and dams, supplemented 
by dredging. Project also provides for further 
improvements at St. Paul to provide a basin extending 
downstream from Robert Street Bridge of 2.7 miles, and 
at Minneapolis to provide adequate terminal facilities, and 
for other harbor improvements and miscellaneous work.

84. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER 
SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION 
Emergency Flood Control Activities, Flood Fighting 
(Public Law 84-99 and P.L. 93-288 and Antecedent 
Legislation). 
1. The pattern for enhanced flow of moisture from the 
Gulf of Mexico into the Great Lakes area was particularly 
strong and persistent in the past year and 
especially in the 1984 fall season. This pattern continued 
through early winter (December 84) which was 
mild and wet. Although January turned much colder 
and drier, heavy snows in February built-up a moisture-
laden snowpack that would be vulnerable to a 
sudden thaw. Thus, the stage was set for a series of flood 
events which beset the District throughout 1985. 
a. January 22-24, 1985. The District was requested, 
by FEMA, Region V, to furnish seven engineer-
inspectors to perform preliminary damage assessments 
(PDA's) for an ice storm event that caused 
severe power outage and tree damage in 13 counties 
across southern Michigan. FEMA did not approve 
Federal subsidy of damage claims. Incurred costs: 
$8,409. 
b. February 24-March 5,1985. Rapid snowmelt 
caused widespread flooding in northern Indiana and 
southern Michigan. The District's EOC was activated 
Ianndd iaa nflao,o tdo adrierae cotf fCicoer pwsa ssu epsptalebmlieshnetadl aati dF otor tt hWisa ycnitey, 
which was severely impacted upon again. At the height 
of activities, 58 District employees were involved in 
flood-fight efforts. Incurred costs: $410,453. 
c. March 31-April 6, 1985, Southeastern Michigan. 
High easterly winds drove record Great Lakes 
water levels onshore inundating many coastal communities 
in Monroe, Wayne, and Macomb Counties. The 
Detroit District helped local communities in their flood 
31-34

DETROIT, MICHIGAN DISTRICT 
protection efforts by supplying pumps (6), polyethylene 
sheeting (586 rolls), and sandbags (741,450). Corps 
personnel involved totaled 21 at maximum effort. Local 
damages as a result of shoreline flooding were estimated 
at $21,523,400. Costs incurred for flood-fighting: 
$162,533. 
On April 15th, the Governor of Michigan requested 
the Corps to initiate an Advance Measures program of 
flood protection for shoreline communities. Twenty-five 
project areas were approved for temporary flood 
protection facilities under P.L. 84-99's Advance Measures 
feature. Since the program was inaugurated, 
twenty-one communities elected not to participate in 
the protection program. Flood protection facilities are 
being enhanced at Luna Pier, Monroe County, and 
Milliman Island, Brownstown Twp., Wayne County, 
under the Advance Measures program. Three other 
shoreline areas remain under consideration for flood 
protection projects at this time. Costs incurred for 
Advance Measures letter reports: $175,347; costs incurred 
for Advance Measures program studies: $759,406; 
and Rehab studies: $1,345. Current Federal work 
allowances for Advance Measures project construction: 
$1,190,000. 
d. The Rehabilitation Levee Project under P.L. 
84-99 at Fort Wayne, Indiana, started September 12, 
1985, with completion scheduled for November 2,1985. 
These repairs were required as a result of flood events 
during February 24-March 5, 1985. Incurred costs for 
Rehab studies: $10,000. Current Federal work allowances 
for project construction: $290,000. 
e. During period of September 6-8, 1985, heavy 
rains totaling 8-10 inches caused flash floods in Flint, 
Michigan, and adjoining areas in Genessee, Saginaw, 
and Lapeer Counties. Significant flood damage was 
experienced in these areas. Overall damages incurred 
in this tri-county area are estimated at $37 million: $4 
million public; $16 million private; $17 million agriculture. 
Since the flood waters rose and receded so 
rapidly, the Corps was not called upon for flood-fight 
activities. A Presidential Disaster was declared and the 
District contributed personnel at the request of FEMA 
to participate in the Hazard Mitigation Team Evaluations, 
Preliminary Damage Assessments, and Damage 
Survey Reports, including surveys of private agricultural 
levee damages. The Corps has a flood protection 
project in the City of Flint, maintained and 
operated by the City. Preliminary investigations 
indicated the project functioned as designed and 
minimal flood damage was experienced by the project 
facilities or to areas adjoining the project, even though 
record flood stages occurred. Incurred costs for FEMArelated 
activities: $3,432. 
Flood Control activities pursuant to Section 205 of 
the 1948 Flood Control Act. Expanded reconnaissance 
studies were terminated on LaCrosse, IN ($24,008) 
and Pigeon Creek, Steuben County, IN ($25,000) when 
the stream discharge for a 10-year frequency event fell 
below the minimum level of 800 cfs. required for 
Federal participation. The expanded reconnaissance 
report was completed on the Thread River Burton, MI 
project at a cost of $15,086. However, economic benefits 
did not justify the cost of the project; therefore, the 
project was terminated. A Detailed Project Report was 
initiated on the Ontonagon, MI project ($135,445) and a 
Feature Design Memorandum, plans and specifications 
and contract award were completed for Paw Paw Lake, 
MI ($139,660). 
Flood Control activities pursuant to Section 208 of 
the 1954 Flood Control Act. A negative appraisal 
report was completed and funds reimbursed for 
Bridgeport Charter Township, MI ($7,500). The construction 
contract for Maple River, MI was financially 
completed and preparation of the O&M manual was 
initiated ($12,981). 
Aquatic Plant Control activities pursuant to 
Section 302 of the River and Harbor Act of 1965 (PL 
89-298). An aquatic plant control reconnaissance 
study was initiated for Houghton Lake and Lake St. 
Helen within Roscommon County, MI. Funds in the 
amount of $3,997 were expended in FY 1985. 
85. SURVEILLANCE OF NORTHERN 
BOUNDARY WATERS 
Field Operations. The following field operations, 
which were complemented by office activities in 
support of basic mission, were conducted during the 
current period: In support of the development and 
calibration of Detroit District mathematical models of 
the Connecting Channels, soundings and discharge 
measurements were conducted on the St. Clair and 
Detroit Rivers. Discharge measurements were made in 
the Welland Canal and analyzed, in support of Water 
Survey of Canada. Additional measurements are scheduled 
for FY 86. 
During the winter months, the District observes the 
presence of ice in the St. Marys, St. Clair, and Detroit 
Rivers as an ongoing mission. The District monitors key 
water level gages in these rivers for continuous updating 
of the hydrograph for detection of possible ice 
jams and associated potential for flooding. This provides 
advance warning to area residents and other 
governmental agencies (in support of respective Flood 
Alert Plans). In the past, this monitoring was accomplished 
utilizing telemark gaging. The District has 
updated six of these gages by installing Data Collection 
Platforms (DCP's) on the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers. 
These platforms utilize Geostationary Operational 
Environmental Satellite (GOES) transmission equipment 
to provide round-the-clock real-time water level 
data monitoring. Installation of eight additional DCP's 
to replace the remaining telemark gages is expected to 
be completed by FY 86.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
International Activities. The following activities 
were conducted specifically for the International Joint 
Commission (IJC) Boards and Committees: 
Members of the Detroit District staff attended the 
spring and fall semi-annual appearances of the International 
Great Lakes Boards before the Commission in 
Zion, Illinois, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, respectively. 
a. International Lake Superior Board of Control. 
The Detroit District Engineer is the United 
States Regulation Representative for the Board of 
Control. In support of the U.S. Section of the Board, the 
District provided monthly Lake Superior outflow 
recommendations based upon a review of the hydrologic 
factors which influence the future regulation of 
Lake Superior. These recommendations were based on 
the use of probability forecasts of water supplies routed 
through the lakes, rendering outflows under Plan 1977, 
the currently approved operating rule. 
On April 25, 1985, the International Joint Commission 
directed the Board to deviate from Plan 1977 and to 
implement a flow reduction from Lake Superior 
beginning in May. This action was intended to alleviate 
high water conditions on Lakes Michigan, Huron, St. 
Clair and Erie, each of which experienced record high 
water levels during the spring. The Commission's 
instructions also included limiting the flow through the 
Compensating Works at Sault Ste. Marie as well as 
imposing a reduction in water available for power 
production. In response to this directive, the Board 
authorized flow reductions in May, June, July and 
August, amounting to an accumulation on Lake 
Superior of 119,000 cfs/month. In September 1985, due 
to a continuing rise in the water level of Lake Superior, 
several increases in the Lake Superior outflow were 
made, resulting in an average September outflow of 
102,000 cfs. The Board continues to closely monitor lake 
levels and will advise the Commission if and when 
additional flow changes are warranted. 
In June 1984, the Ontario Ministry of Natural 
Resources was identified as the proponent for the 
development of remedial measures for the St. Marys 
Rapids fishery at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Construction 
began in July 1985 and the project was completed 
in September 1985. If all the requirements of the 
fishery are met, it is expected that the Board will 
request the IJC that they be allowed to discontinue the 
use of condition 1.(b) in Plan 1977 for the monthly 
regulation of Lake Superior. 
b. International Niagara Board of Control and 
International Niagara Working Committee. A 
member of the Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology 
staff is on the U.S. Section of the Working Committee. 
The District was involved in the engineering and 
development of a revised rating curve for the Ashland 
Avenue gage. In October 1984, a series of discharge 
measurements were made in the American Falls 
Channel by personnel from the Detroit District. These 
measurements are part of the on-going program to 
periodically verify the stage-discharge relationship for 
the American Falls Channel flow. Additional measurements 
are scheduled in the American Falls 
Channel in early FY 87. Also scheduled in FY 87, is a 
series of measurements at the Cableway Section for 
further verification of the Ashland Avenue Rating 
Curve. 
c. International St. Lawrence River Board of 
Control. When requested, the Detroit District supported 
the Buffalo District in its activities. 
d. International Great Lakes Diversions and 
Consumptive Uses Study Board. The IJC submitted 
its recommendations, based on the Board's report and 
subsequent public hearings, to the governments of the 
United States and Canada, in a report dated January 
1985. A former Detroit District Engineer was Chairman 
of the U.S. Section of the Working Committee. 
Until such time as the Board is either dissolved or 
continued, certain personnel within the District continue 
to hold membership on the Diversions and 
Environmental Evaluation Subcommittees and on the 
Public Involvement Ad Hoc Group. 
e. International Lake Erie Regulation Study 
Board. The former Chief of the Detroit District's 
Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch was 
Chairman of the U.S. Section of the Regulation Subcommittee. 
Staff members also provided input to the 
other subcommittees. The Board completed its report in 
July 1981 and submitted it to the IJC. The IJC 
submitted its recommendations, based on the Board's 
report and subsequent public hearings, to the governments 
of the United States and Canada in a report dated 
November 1983. This Board was disbanded in 1985. 
f. International Great Lakes Technical Information 
Network Board. The former Chief of the 
Great Lakes Hydraulics and Hydrology Branch was 
U.S. Chairman of this Board. The Chief of the Lake 
Hydrology Section remains the Secretary to the U.S. 
Section of this Board, as well as a member on the 
Hydraulics and Hydrology Committees. A "Directive" 
concerning the future activities of the Board was sent to 
the IJC in June 1984. The Board provided the Commission 
with an advance copy of the main report, 
including executive summary findings, conclusions and 
recommendations, in July 1984. Published copies of the 
main report and appendices were completed in December 
1984. In January 1985, the IJC informed the 
governments of the United States and Canada of the 
findings of the Board. Furthermore, the Commission 
recommended that a committee be established to 
provide an international mechanism for institutional 
coordination between the operational Boards of the IJC 
and agencies making studies, gathering and providing 
data on the Great Lakes System. This Board would 
assume the functions of the "Coordinating Committee 
on Great Lakes Basic Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data." 
31-36

DETROIT, MICHIGAN DISTRICT 
Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic 
Hydraulic and Hydrology Data. The Chief of the 
Lake Hydrology Section of the Great Lakes Hydraulics 
and Hydrology Branch is the U.S. Secretary to this 
committee, as well as a member of its subcommittees. 
Operations continued pertaining to the coordination of 
basic hydraulic and hydrologic data with Canada. A 
Coordinating Committee report, being worked on in the 
Branch, documents the discharge measurements made 
on the Great Lakes Connecting Channels and St. 
Lawrence River during the period 1900-1978. Through 
the auspices of the Coordinating Committee, the Corps 
of Engineers provided funds to Canada, in the amount 
of $215,000, to aid in completion of precise leveling in 
the International Section of the St. Lawrence River. 
This survey, as well as similar surveys conducted in the 
U.S. by NOAA, are part of a program to update the 
International Great Lakes Datum (IGLD). The new 
IGLD will evolve around the epic year 1980 and is 
expected to be published in FY 86. 
NCD Master Plan for Water Control Data 
System. In FY 85 the District acquired a Harris-800 
minicomputer, dedicated to water control activities. 
The computer will be used to collect data from the 
District's data collection platforms (DCP's), Automation 
of Field Operational Service (AFOS), NOAA-NOS 
and Canada. The District currently has 16 DCP's active 
and plans to install as many as 17 additional DCP's in 
FY 86. 
Great Lakes Information Management. The 
District purchased a stand-alone image processing 
system to process and display satellite and aircraft 
derived data. This minicomputer system will eventually 
be the cornerstone of a fully automated mapping 
and analysis facility within the District. Besides 
processing remotely-sensed data, the system will provide 
capabilities for generating multi-parameter data 
bases and thematic maps for basin-wide hydrologic 
models, and for generating high-resolution graphics 
and drafting products. The image processing facility 
will be integrated with the water control minicomputer 
in FY86 to promote information transfer with NCD for 
the Great Lakes. 
Hydraulics and Hydrology of the Great Lakes. 
Studies to improve the existing Great Lakes water level 
forecasting system, including investigations into the 
factors affecting the Great Lakes water balance 
relationship (i.e., runoff, precipitation over water, 
evaporation, ice retardation, etc.) and use of real-time 
hydrologic data were continued by Great Lakes Hydraulics 
and Hydrology Branch staff members. Several 
conceptual hydrologic models have been studied and 
are being calibrated for eventual use in future forecasts 
of lake levels and outflows. District personnel are 
participating in the third year of a five-year program to 
assess water supplies on the Lake Superior Basin 
through use of automated hydromet stations, airborne 
snow and soil moisture surveys, and satellite imagery. 
Levels of the Great Lakes. The Branch provided 
technical information and expertise regarding lake 
levels and long range still water forecasts to many 
interested parties, such as Congressmen, State and 
local officials, news media, navigation and power 
interests, and concerned property owners. Explanation 
of the water levels was supplied to the public in the form 
of direct answers to numerous inquiries, addresses to 
various civic groups, and interviews with news media. 
The publication of an international (U.S. and Canada) 
forecast of Great Lakes water levels, under the auspices 
of the Coordinating Committee on Great Lakes Basic 
Hydraulic and Hydrologic Data, was continued during 
the period. In support of these forecasts and to assist in 
lake regulation, funds have been provided to the 
Department of Commerce for maintenance of eleven 
telemetric water level gages at selected sites throughout 
the Great Lakes to obtain more real-time data. 
Costs for FY 85 are $1,587,312. 
General Investigations 
86. SURVEYS 
Fiscal year costs were $1,173,053 for navigation 
studies on the Great Lakes Connecting Channels and 
Harbors ($1,108,509) and for the review of the authorized 
Fox River, WI project ($64,544). Flood control 
studies cost $1,040,254. A feasibility study at Fort 
Wayne, IN, was initiated at a cost of $292,361. Funds in 
the amount of $504,052 were spent on the continuation 
of the Ecorse Creek Basin, Wayne Co., Flood Protection 
Study. In addition, $32,432 were expended in support of 
work efforts on a Summary Report dealing with the 
overall study authority for the Great Lakes, Particularly 
Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, of which Ecorse 
Creek Basin is an Interim study. Continuation of 
planning on the Saginaw River, MI, Basin Study was 
accomplished at a cost of $211,408. 
87. CONTINUATION OF PLANNING 
AND ENGINEERING 
FY 85 costs for the continuation of planning and 
engineering for Monroe Harbor, MI, were $131,681. 
A Final Survey Report recommending structural 
modifications was completed in February 1980. The 
report recommendations are: to deepen the River 
Raisin portion of the project to 27 feet; to widen to 500 
feet and deepen to 28 feet the entrance channel from 
Lake Erie; to provide a new turning basin able to 
accommodate 1,000 foot vessels; and to construct a 
confined disposal facility that would create a 700 acre 
marsh and provide shoreline protection behind the 
disposal facility. 
Although the project has not been authorized by 
Congress, the Monroe Harbor Study was included in the 
FY 1984 and FY 1985 budgets under the category 
"Continuation of Planning and Engineering" for the 
purpose of collecting updated and detailed project data, 
31-37

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
reevaluating project channel dimensions and dredged 
material disposal requirements, reaffirming project 
economic and environmental feasibility, and preparing 
preliminary project design. Although no major change 
in the scope of the recommended plan is anticipated at 
this time, a reduction in recommended channel width 
and alternative dredge material disposal options were 
considered. 
Work in FY 85 consisted of the evaluation of several 
alternative channel designs, detailed dredge quantity 
estimates, and cost estimates for dredging and alternative 
disposal options. The District conducted a survey 
of prospective harbor users to update and confirm the 
projected waterborne commerce that would benefit 
from the project. Comprehensive benefit evaluation of 
project users was also accomplished. A preliminary 
benefit-cost analysis was completed to update the 
economic evaluation of the project. The user survey 
confirmed the Monroe project as a multi-user project, 
with Detroit Edison continuing to be the predominant 
user; however, it also identified a significant reduction 
in the projected waterborne commerce by Detroit 
Edison in the near future. Consequently, the benefit-tocost 
evaluation indicated that the project is not now 
needed by 1994, and suspension of the project under the 
C.P.&E. category was recommended on July 8, 1985. 
88. ADVANCED ENGINEERING AND 
DESIGN 
Continuing AE&D costs for Green Bay Harbor were 
$17,430. 
89. CQLLECTION AND STUDY OF 
BASIC DATA 
a. Coordination Studies with Other Agencies. 
These studies include Special Investigations $15,000; 
F.E.R.C. $3,000; Soil Conservation Service $2,000; 
Coordination with States (Section 22) $60,009; International 
Water Studies $24,000; and Flood Plain 
Management Services $157,711. A special hydrologic 
study to develop a regional flood frequency study for the 
Saginaw River Basin was initiated in FY 80, and the 
preparation of a final report was initiated in FY 85. 
Costs for this project in FY 85 were $2,000. 
b. Flood Insurance Studies. Four Michigan 
Flood Insurance Studies were completed in FY 85. 
They were Taylor City, Wayne County; Huron Township, 
Wayne County; Litchfield City, Hillsdale County; 
and Manistee City, Manistee County. The studies were 
completed at a total cost of $183,266. The FY 85 costs 
were $168, $5,523, $10,211, and $15,024, respectively, 
Flood Insurance Studies for the Township of Hamlin, 
Mason County; City of Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa 
County; Township of Summit, Mason County; and City 
of Blissfield, Lenawee County, will be completed in FY 
86, at a total cost of $103,860. The FY 85 costs associated 
with these studies were $21,234, $20,190, $23,143, and 
$9,530, respectively. Work was initiated on the Allen 
County, Indiana ($19,057); and City of Bangor, Van 
Buren County ($672) Flood Insurance Studies at a total 
FY 85 cost of $19,729.

The Water Resources Development (WRD) Act of March 7, 
1974, reinstated and extended authorization for beach erosion 
control project, as provided in 1960 R&H Act, for a period of 
five years from date of enactment of 1974 WRD Act, or if 
the review study of such project is not completed prior to end 
of such period, until such study is completed and a report 
thereon submitted to Congress. Work authorized by the 1974 
WRD Act was completed in 1979. The 1976 Water 
Resources Development Act provides for continued annual 
nourishment by stating "At expiration of authorization 
provided in Section 57 of Water Resources Development Act 
of 1974, the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief 
of Engineers, may provide periodic beach nourishment in 
accordance with cost sharing provisions of Section 103 (a) (2) 
of Act of October 23, 1962." The act also authorized 
preparation of a Phase I General Design Memorandum. The 
Final Phase I General Design Memorandum (GDM) was 
completed in June 1980 and the recommended plan provides 
for construction of 58 offshore rubblemound breakwater 
segments, beach restoration by placement of sand fill, and 
annual beach replenishment for shore protection. A draft 
reformulation report was prepared in June 1985 to reassess 
the Presque Isle project and analyze additional plans for 
controlling beach erosion. The report recommended that the 
plan selected in the Phase I GDM be modified to reduce the 
number of offshore breakwater segments from 58 to 38 and to 
construct 10,000 feet of bank run gravel beaches along the 
neck of the peninsula. The project would be constructed by a 
12-year staged construction program. On September 20, 
1985, the Office, Chief of Engineers recommended to the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army that the Corps proceed with 
the ongoing 58-breakwater plan with staged construction. 
Estimated Federal cost for the authorized project and

appropriate percentage of final construction cost, exclusive of 
lands, easements, and rights-of-way, the percentage to be in 
accordance with existing law based on shore ownership and 
use existing at time of construction, which contribution is 
presently estimated at $8,862,000 or 30 percent; pay 30 
percent of the cost for annual beach redistribution and 
replenishment work for the project; hold and save the United 
States free from damages due to construction works, except 
for damages due to fault or negligence of Government or its 
contractors; maintain and operate all the works, including 
breakwaters and periodic sand and gravel replenishment and

1. FISHERMAN'S WHARF AREA, SAN 
FRANCISCO HARBOR, CA 
Location. Fisherman's Wharf is located on San 
Francisco Bay on the northern waterfront of the City of 
San Francisco, approximately 2-1/2 miles east of the 
Golden Gate Bridge. (See USGS Quad Sheet San 
Francisco North, Calif. N3745-W12222.5/7.5) 
Existing Project. The project consists of a concrete 
sheet pile breakwater starting 150 feet to the west of 
Hyde Street Pier; curving around the end of Hyde 
Street Pier and extending in an easterly direction to an 
extension of the east fender line of Pier 45. The entrance 
is to be a 165-foot channel between the breakwater and 
the end of Pier 45. The total length of this sheet pile 
breakwater is 1,509 feet. In addition there are two 
segmented breakwaters (28-foot solid walls with 6-foot 
openings), one 150 feet long extending in a northerly 
direction in the abandoned slip at the end of Pier 45, and 
General Investigations

the second is a 250-foot section 250 feet from the 
bayward end of, and on the west side of Pier 45. The plan 
also includes two 10-foot wide pile caps which may be 
used as walkways for the purpose of recreational pier 
fishing. Access is to be constructed to the 150-foot 
segmented breakwater, and the second, included in 
Phase II construction, will be access to the 1,509-foot 
solid breakwater. The estimated total cost for the 
project is $9,600,000 of which $8,900,000 is Federal cost 
and $700,000 is non-Federal cost. Construction contract 
was awarded in February 1985 to Riedel International, 
Inc. of Portland, OR. Total contract award was 
$7,887,000. 
Local cooperation. The Agreement of Local Cooperation, 
along with estimated costs, has been negotiated 
with, and accepted by, the local sponsor. The 221 
Agreement was signed by the local sponsor on 
13 November 1984. 
Terminal facilities. Project will protect existing 
commercial and recreational waterfront structures:

3. SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND 
DELTA MODEL, CA 
Location. The model, including a regional visitor 
center, is located in Sausalito, CA, adjacent to San 
Francisco Bay about two miles north of the Golden Gate 
Bridge. 
Existing project. The San Francisco Bay/Delta 
Model, which covers 17 miles of the Pacific Ocean 
beyond Golden Gate, all of San Francisco Bay proper, 
San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, and all of the Sacramento- 
San Joaquin Delta east of Suisun Bay to the cities of 
Sacramento on the northeast and Stockton and Tracy on 
the south, was constructed in a rehabilitated warehouse 
at Sausalito, CA, as a part of the San Francisco Bay and 
Tributaries, California, Study authorized by the River 
and Harbor Act of May 17, 1950 (PL 81-516, Section 
110). The model was authorized as an operation and 
maintenance project in the Water Resources Development 
Act of 1974 (PL 93-251, Section 8). The model 
successfully reproduces to the proper scale the rise and 
fall of the tide, flow and currents of water, salinity 
intrusion, and trends in disposition of sediments. It is a 
useful tool to examine forces existing in the bay and 
estuarine system and to predict results of proposed 
changes. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Operation 
and maintenance of the model continues. 
Historical summary. Original model construction 
was initiated 1956 and completed 1957. The addition of 
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to the original 
model was initiated 1966 and completed 1969. The 
central exhibits were completed in December 1981. 
Continued testing of proposals affecting the environmental 
quality of the region including, but not limited 
to: salinity intrusion, dispersion of pollutants, water 
quality, improvements for navigation, dredging, bay 
fill, physical structures, other shoreline changes. Total 
cost of regional visitor exhibits and model as of September 
30, 1985, was $11,635,401, of which $5,183,818 
was for the regional visitor center, $870,587 for exhibits,

11. ADVANCE ENGINEERING AND 
DESIGN 
NOYO RIVER AND HARBOR, CA 
Noyo River rises in the Coast Range, flows westerly, 
and empties into Noyo Harbor. Noyo Harbor is a cove on 
the California Coast about 87 miles south of Humboldt 
Bay and 135 miles northwest of San Francisco. The 
1962 Rivers and Harbors Act, modified by the 1976 
Water Resources Development Act, authorized up to 
two breakwaters as necessary to provide protection. 
The 1976 WRDA authorized construction of additional 
channel improvements. Recommended plans of improvement 
for the breakwater and channel improvement 
were previously considered as a single project. Due to 
significant differences in the time required for planning 
and construction, each part is now reported separately. 
The plans of improvement for Noyo River and Harbor 
(Breakwater), CA, provide for one or two breakwaters 
immediately west of the entrance channel in Noyo 
Harbor. Estimated preconstruction planning cost is 
$1,560,000. Total costs during the fiscal year were 
$105,670 with General Investigation funds. Planning is 
about 50 percent complete. Model studies, using a 
physical model to test alternative plans, were initiated 
in FY 84. 
The plan of improvement for Noyo River and Harbor 
(Channel Extension), CA, provides for a 60-foot wide 
channel, 7 feet deep, for a distance of about 3,000 feet 
upstream from the end of the existing Federal project to 
the Dolphin Isle Marina. Estimated preconstruction 
planning cost is $580,000. Total costs during the fiscal 
year were $10,078 with General Investigation funds.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Existing project. For description of Sacramento 
Deep Water Ship Channel, see Annual Report for 1969. 
Total first cost for completed portion was $43,932,558 
($39,560,558 Federal (Corps), $300,000 (Coast Guard), 
and $4,072,000 non-Federal for lands and damages, 
including relocations) and excludes local interests cost 
$10,741,000 (June 1963) for 30-foot deep water ship 
channel and 13-foot deep connecting canal basic terminal 
facilities required under terms of project authorization. 
Project also provides for a shallow-draft channel 
10 feet deep at mean lower low water 150 to 200 feet 
bottom width, from Suisun Bay to Sacramento, CA, 60 
miles; a depth of 6 feet at low water between Sacramento 
and Colusa, 85 miles; a depth of 5 feet at low water 
between Colusa and Chico Landing, 50 miles; and such 
depths as practicable between Chico Landing and Red 
Bluff, 53 miles, a total distance of 248 miles. Estimated 
Federal cost (July 1973) of new work for shallow-draft 
river channel is $1,360,000 (includes $1,163,000 for 
deferred portion between Colusa and Chico Landing). 
(See table 35-H on tidal and flood conditions prevailing.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for deep 
water ship channel project. None required on shallowdraft 
feature. 
Terminal facilities. Piers, wharves, and docks at 
Port of Sacramento for shallow-draft navigation are 
open-pile structures with timber decks, some of which 
are designed to meet extreme high waters of flood 
stages. All main wharves at Sacramento have rail 
connections. Three of above facilities are owned by city 
of Sacramento and remainder by private interests; all 
are privately operated. For full description see "Port 
and Terminal Facilities at the Ports of Sacramento, 
Stockton, Pittsburg and Antioch, Calif., 1975." Deep 
water terminal facilities comprise wharves and piers, 
administration and storage buildings, and belt railroad 
facilities. Majority of these facilities are owned and 
operated by Sacramento-Yolo Port District; remainder 
are privately owned and operated. Facilities are considered 
adequate for existing commerce. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work, Deep Water Ship Channel: None. Maintenance: 
Shallow Draft Channel: Minor maintenance and operation 
activities continued in Sacramento River, Sacramento 
upstream to Colusa. Deep Water Ship Channel: 
Maintenance and operation activities continued. Fiscal 
year costs for major maintenance items consisted of: 
Maintenance dredging on Sacramento River, vicinity of 
Rio Vista by suction dredge initiated and completed by 
contract, $1,521,582; and stone protection on levees 
initiated and completed by contract, $131,501. 
Historical summary. Construction of 7-foot shallowdraft 
channel below Sacramento was initiated in September 
1899 and completed in 1904. Modified 10-foot 
shallow-draft channel up to Sacramento was initiated 
in FY 1928 and completed in 1931. Shallow-draft 
channel above Sacramento was begun in April 1946 but 
new work was discontinued when about 48 percent 
complete. In February 1974, remaining work for shallowdraft 
portion of project, provision of a 5-foot depth 
between Colusa and Chico Landing (50 miles), was 
reclassified as "deferred." Channel is navigable all 
year; however, there is no regular navigation above 
Colusa, 145 miles above river mouth. Construction of 
30-foot deep water ship channel was initiated in July 
1949; improvement dredging by continuing contracts 
resulted in provision of an operational facility for 
oceangoing vessels during June 1963. Bascule bridge 
was completed in April 1960, barge lock in August 
1961, barge canal in November 1961, and entire deep 
water ship channel in June 1970. 
2. SAN FRANCISCO BAY TO 
STOCKTON, CA (JOHN F. 
BALDWIN AND STOCKTON 
SHIP CHANNELS) 
Location. On navigation channels extending from 
entrance to San Francisco Bay to Port of Stockton 
through San Francisco, Marin, Contra Costa, Solano, 
Sacramento, and San Joaquin Counties. (See Coast and 
Geodetic Charts 5527 and 5532-5534 for respective 
areas.) 
Existing project. Project provides for modification 
of existing San Francisco Harbor, Richmond Harbor, 
San Pablo Bay and Mare Island Strait, Suisun Bay 
Channel, and San Joaquin River navigation projects to 
provide depths of 55 feet for San Francisco Bar Channel; 
45 feet for main internal bay channels upstream to 
vicinity of Avon, and 35 feet from Avon to Stockton; 
enlargement and deepening to 45 feet of maneuvering 
areas adjacent to major petroleum refinery terminals 
along channel route; widening Suisun Bay Channel; 
reclaiming shoreline marshes and inundated or lowlying 
areas by spoil deposit for public recreation and for 
industrial use; providing basic recreation facilities on 
some of the reclaimed areas for public use; and placing 
additional rock revetmenton waterside of levees bordering 
channels. 
Approved project estimate (October 1985) is 
$180,500,000, (includes an allowance for estimated 
inflation through the construction period) comprising 
Federal cost (Corps) of $138,000,000, including basic 
recreation facilities ($4,780,000); Federal cost (Coast 
Guard) for navigation aids $1,100,000; and non-Federal 
cost of $41,400,000 for lands and damages, relocations, 
berthing areas, and spoil retention dikes, including the 
cash contribution ($250,000) that local interests must 
make for land enhancement at time of construction. 
Local interests must also pay, contribute in kind, or 
repay with interest one-half of separable cost of project 
allocated to recreation ($2,600,000). Existing project 
was adopted by 1965 River and Harbor Act (H. Doc. 
208, 89th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published 
map). 
Local cooperation. Local interests, through a public 
body legally authorized and financially capable, must 
give assurances they will furnish lands, easements, and

rights-of-way for construction and future maintenance 
of the project and for aids to navigation, including spoildisposal 
areas designated by the Chief of Engineers; 
provide necessary spoil retention dikes, bulkheads, and 
embankments except as applicable to spoil-disposal 
areas designated as public recreation areas; make 
utility modifications and relocations required for construction, 
including new bridges or bridge alterations 
(except for railroad bridges), and absorb any increased 
annual maintenance and operation costs resulting therefrom; 
provide and maintain all necessary berthing 
areas, at a depth commensurate with project depth, at 
all terminals and wharves to be served by the deepened 
channels; and in recognition of the local land enhancement 
benefits to result from landfill during dredging, 
contribute to the United States 4 cents per cubic yard of 
all spoil material placed during initial construction for 
modification of Suisun Bay Channel project on areas not 
developed for public use. Local interests must also give 
satisfactory assurances, before starting construction of 
the affected units, that they will maintain and operate 
the Federally provided recreation areas and facilities, 
continue to maintain to adequate standards the levees 
altered, set back or provided revetment protection, and 
hold the U.S. Government free from damages due to 
deposition of spoil and construction of new levees or 
reconstruction of existing levees. Local interests, represented 
by Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County 
and Stockton Port District, must, at time of construction, 
contribute $250,000 in cash for land enhancement; pay, 
contribute in kind, or repay with interest one-half of 
separable cost of project allocated to recreation 
($2,600,000); and maintain and operate basic recreation 
facilities after construction and install additional basic 
facilities required as demands on area expand. No work 
shall be undertaken on a modification of Suisun Bay 
Channel project unit to deepen the channel to more than 
35 feet between Avon and a proposed refinery or 
manufacturing plant, until local interests furnish formal 
assurances and definite plans for such installation 
within the Avon-Chipps Island reach of channel. Also, 
no work shall be undertaken on modification of San 
Joaquin River navigation project unit, regarding access 
channels in vicinity of Antioch, until local interests 
furnish formal assurances and definite plans for Port of 
Antioch. Formal assurances for deepening and otherwise 
improving the Stockton Deep Water Ship Channel from 
Pittsburg to Stockton were furnished by Stockton Port 
District April 9, 1970. The Stockton Port District, in 
Stockton, by letter of October 20, 1981, stated that they 
would furnish the necessary assurances for fish and 
wildlife mitigation and enhancement, and on April 13, 
1982, provided formal updated assurances for the Avon 
to Stockton portion. A sec. 221 agreement satisfying all 
requirements of local cooperation for Southampton 
Shoal and Richmond Long Wharf maneuvering area 
was obtained from Contra Costa County Board of 
Supervisors and signed by District Engineer July 31, 
1984. 
Terminal facilities. See Port Series No. 30, revised 
1983, and 31, revised 1982, titled respectively: "The

Terminal facilities. For description of harbor facilities 
at Port of Stockton, CA, see Port Series 32, "The 
Ports of Sacramento, Stockton, Pittsburg and Antioch, 
Calif.," revised 1975. Downstream from Stockton, traffic 
is accommodated by bank landings and sheds except at 
Antioch and near Pittsburg, where there are wharves 
for shallow- and deep-draft vessels. Terminal transfer 
facilities at public ocean terminal of Port of Stockton 
are adequate fqr present and immediate future. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Condition studies and miscellaneous inspections 
and reports were accomplished by hired labor. Channel 
dredging by suction dredge, Stockton Deep Water 
Channel, San Joaquin River, was completed. Stone 
protection maintenance on Stockton Deep Water Ship 
Channel was initiated at fiscal year contract cost of 
$483,028. (Repair or restoration of wavewash protection 
is required by legislation authorized by Improvement 
No. 2.) 
Historical summary. Active portion of existing project 
was completed in May 1960. Construction of project 
was initiated in December 1877. 
Flood Control 
4. BUCHANAN DAM-H. V. EASTMAN 
LAKE, CHOWCHILLA RIVER, CA 
Location. On Chowchilla River about 36 miles above 
its mouth and about 16 miles northeast of city of 
Chowchilla, CA. (See Geological Survey quadrangles 
for area.) 
Existing project. Provides for construction of a 205- 
foot high rockfill dam to create a reservoir with gross 
storage capacity of 150,000 acre-feet for flood control, 
irrigation, recreation, and fish and wildlife. In conjunction 
with dam, project plan provides for about 12 miles 
of downstream levee and channel construction on Ash 
Slough to accommodate a project design flow of 5,000 
cubic feet per second within slough and 7 miles of levee 
and channel improvement on Berenda Slough. Operation 
and maintenance of dam and reservoir is the responsibility 
of the Federal Government. Total first cost for 
existing project is $28,919,597, of which $27,369,597 is 
Federal cost, including $4,580,000 for basic recreation 
facilities, and $1,550,000 non-Federal costs for lands 
and damages, including relocations for downstream 
levee and channel improvements. Local interests have 
contracted with the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation 
service. For future non-Federal reimbursement, 
see Local cooperation paragraph. 
Local interests have also, over a period of years, 
expended about $500,000 for construction of low levees 
and clearing downstream channels to provide some 
local flood protection in project area. This work is 
inadequate during major floods. Existing project was 
adopted by 1962 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 98, 87th 
Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map). Lake 
formed by Buchanan Dam on Chowchilla River was 
designated "H. V. Eastman Lake" by Public Law 
93-217. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work: None. Maintenance: Maintenance and operation 
activities were continued. Chowchilla recreation area: 
Erosion control and road repair was completed at fiscal 
year contract cost of $78,306. Dam safety assurance 
studies were continued at a fiscal year cost of $18,273. 
Runoff of Chowchilla River above Buchanan Dam was 
below normal for the year. Maximum storage of 40,800 
acre-feetoccurred May 23,1985. Maximum daily inflow 
to reservoir was 822 cubic feet per second on February 9, 
1985. Maximum release of 560 cubic feet per second on 
June 23, 1985, was below maximum permissible flood 
release. During the year, a total of 114,900 acre-feet of 
water was released for irrigation and other purposes. 
Historical summary. Construction began in July 
1971 and was completed in May 1979. Construction of 
Buchanan and Hidden dam and appurtenances were 
combined under one contract. Project was completed in 
September 1983, except for installation of piezometers 
(now deferred indefinitely). Dam closure was in March 
1975; dam was completed in January 1976. Reservoir 
clearing and boundary marking were completed May 
1975. Bifurcation structure was completed in February 
1976. Channel improvement, Ash and Berenda Sloughs, 
was completed in March 1976. Recreation areas: Phase 
I was completed in January 1976; Phase II was completed 
in February 1978. Residences, administration 
building, and visitors center contract was completed in 
May 1978. Landscaping was completed in May 1979 
and erosion control was completed in April 1979. A 
resources interpretive display and road relocation were 
completed in FY 1982. Dam safety assurance studies 
were initiated in FY 1981. Solar heating was installed 
at Chowchilla recreation area in FY 1984.

with section 3, Public Law 738, 74th Congress. Non- 
Federal cost included in above amount is $3,242,867 for 
relocations and lands and damages, exclusive of above 
Federal reimbursement. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. New Hogan: 
Local interests must pay portion of first cost and annual 
operation and maintenance costs allocated to conservation 
functions of project. These costs are estimated at 
36.2 percent of first cost and 38 percent of annual costs. 
In addition, local interests contributed land, the (July 
1964) market value of which was $556,000. For years 
1961 through 1970, an interim contract between the 
Bureau of Reclamation and local water users provided 
for storage and payment of irrigation water; local 
interests paid $2,559,294 through December 31, 1984. 
A long-term contract between that agency and local 
water users was executed August 25, 1970. A concessionaire 
at New Hogan Marina provided public use 
facilities in accordance with lease agreement with the 
Secretary of the Army at an estimated cost to date of 
$234,000.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
to the construction works; maintain and operate the 
project after completion in accordance with the regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Army, and 
prevent encroachment on flood channels that would 
result in decreasing the effectivenessof project for flood 
control; adjust all claims regarding water rights that 
might be affected by.the project; and contribute in cash 
1.5 percent of Federal construction cost of Ross Valley 
unit and tidal areas, an estimated $470,000. Marin 
County Flood Control and Water Conservation District 
previously furnished resolution of local assurances 
dated March 29,1966, March 28,1967, August 15,1967, 
and July 8,1969, and Marin County Board of Supervisors 
reaffirmed by letter dated September 28, 1978. Ross 
Town Council approved the alternative plan on May 25, 
1978. Project was authorized by the State of California 
by 1965 Statute, Chapter 1388. Board of Supervisors of 
Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation 
District furnished assurances of willingness and ability 
to meet requirements for portion of project below Sir 
Francis Drake Boulevard. Acquisition of rights-of-way 
and dredge material disposal areas, relocations and 
construction for remaining work is being held in abeyance 
as a result of a request from Congress for a review 
of alternatives other than completing the project as an 
open concrete channel. 
On December 13, 1983, Marin County Board of 
Supervisors reconfirmed assurances of local cooperation 
because a Superior Court Judgment ordered that county 
to take all steps required by law to complete channel 
downstream of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard (Unit 4) 
and maintain entire project as agreed. A Local Cooperation 
Agreement for redredging the lower reach of Corte 
Madera Creek was executed on June 29, 1985. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work: Plans and specifications for redredging Lower 
Corte Madera Creek channel were completed. General 
Design Memorandum No. 2, Supplement No. 1 (Unit 4) 
was initiated. 
Historical summary. Project responsibility was 
transferred from San Francisco District on April 1, 
1982. Project is about 75 percent complete considering 
the portion being held in abeyance upstream of Sir 
Frances Drake Boulevard. Work remaining: Design 
and construction of the remaining 3,000 feet of channel 
downstream of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Ross 
Creek. In lieu of the authorized concrete channel, an 
alternative plan consisting of wing walls and individual 
house floodproofing is being recommended in the Significant 
Post-Authorization Change Report. The portion 
of Corte Madera Creek upstream of intersection of Sir 
Francis Drake Boulevard and Corte Madera Creek in 
Ross, near the city of San Anselmo, was classified as 
"inactive" on July 11, 1984, due to lack of local support. 
A Local Cooperation Agreement for redredging lower 
reach of Corte Madera Creek was executed June 29, 
1985. 
7. HIDDEN DAM-HENSLEY LAKE, 
FRESNO RIVER, CA 
Location. On Fresno River about 50 miles above its 
mouth and about 15 miles northeast of Madera, CA (See 
Geological Survey quadrangles for area.) 
Existing project. Provides for construction of a 163- 
foot high earthfill dam to create a reservoir with gross 
storage capacity of 90,000 acre-feet for flood control, 
irrigation, recreation and other purposes. In conjunction 
with the dam, the project provides for about 13 miles of 
downstream levee and channel improvements on Fresno 
River immediately upstream of Chowchilla Canal crossing 
to accommodate project design flow of 5,000 cubic 
feet per second. Operation and maintenance of dam and 
reservoir is the responsibility of the Federal Government. 
Total first cost for existing project is $31,785,426, 
of which $30,555,426 is Federal cost, including 
$3,564,168 for basic recreation facilities, and estimated 
$1,230,000 non-Federal cost for lands and damages 
including relocations for downstream levee and channel 
improvements. Local interests have contracted with the 
Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation service. For 
future non-Federal reimbursement, see Local cooperation 
paragraph. Local interests have also, over a period 
of years, expended about $300,000 for construction of 
low levees and clearing downstream channels to provide 
some local flood protection in the project area. This 
work is inadequate during major floods. Existing project 
was adopted by 1962 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 37, 87th 
Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published map). Lake 
created by Hidden Reservoir project on Fresno River 
was designated "Hensley Lake" by Public Law 93-603. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work. None. Maintenance: Maintenance and operation 
activities were continued. Erosion repair on downstream 
face of the dam was initiated at fiscal year contract cost 
of $129,114. Dam safety assurance studies were continued 
at a fiscal year cost of $17,514. Runoff of Fresno 
River above Hidden Dam was below normal for the 
year. Maximum storage of 35,500 acre-feet occurred 
May 29, 1985. Maximum daily inflow to reservoir was 
520 cubic feet per second on March 28,1985. Maximum 
release of 228 cubic feet per second on June 18, 1985, 
was below maximum permissible flood release. During 
the year, 26,600 acre-feet of water was released for 
irrigation and other purposes. Project prevented an 
estimated $455,000 in damages from the December 
1984-April 1985 rainfloods. 
Historical summary. Construction began in July 
1971 and was completed in January 1979. Dam closure 
was in March 1975; dam was completed November 
1975. Instrumentation was completed in January 1976.

8. ISABELLA LAKE, KERN RIVER, 
CA 
Location. About 35 miles northeast of city of Bakersfield, 
CA, near confluence of north and south forks of 
Kern River; auxiliary dam is about one-half mile east of 
main dam. (See Geological Survey quadrangles of 
area.) 
Existing project. For description of completed 
improvement and authorizing act, see Annual Report 
for 1967. Federal cost for new work is $22,027,452. For 
future non-Federal reimbursement see Local cooperation 
and Licenses paragraphs. Federal cost funded 
from Code 710 appropriations is $2,199,085. Operation 
and maintenance of dam and reservoir is Federal 
responsibility. 
Local cooperation. California officially adopted project 
by chapter 1514 of statutes of 1945, State of California. 
Local interests, represented by North Kern, Buena 
Vista, and Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage Districts 
and La Hacienda Water District, were required to 
reimburse the Federal Government the portion of first 
cost and annual operation and maintenance costs allocated 
to irrigation functions of project. These costs, 
based on a cost allocation study completed in December 
1955, are $4,573,000 of first cost and 21.7 percent of 
annual operation and maintenance cost. For the years 
1956 through 1964, an interim contract between the 
Bureau of Reclamation and local water users provided 
for storage and payment of irrigation water. Under 
provisions of this interim contract, local interests paid 
$1,936,229 through December 31, 1964. A long-term 
contract between the Bureau and local water users was 
executed October 23, 1964. Balance due on allocated 
first cost of $4,573,000 was paid by the water users on 
March 31, 1965. Kern County assumed administration 
of recreation and development and maintenance of 
public use areas at project in accordance with a 25-year 
license February 15, 1955. The agreement with Kern 
County provided for joint operation and development by 
the Corps and Kern County including permits granted 
to concessionaires by the county to provide certain 
services. As of September 30, 1971, Kern County relinquished 
all administration of recreation and development 
and maintenance of public use areas at the 
project. A State law permitting the Department of 
Boating and Waterways (known as the Department of 
Navigation and Ocean Development prior to January 
1979) to participate in inland water development with 
Federal agencies was signed by the Governor on 
August 11,1972. All concessionaires will operate under 
permits granted by the Corps. Total cost to date of 
present recreation facilities developed by the county 
and the marina concessionaires is about $965,000; 
$235,000 of this was a grant from the California 
Wildlife Conservation Board and about $534,000 is 
investment by marina concessionaires. 
Licenses. In accordance with Federal Power Commission 
Docket No. E-6578, issued April 1, 1963, payment 
of $377,426 was made to the Federal Government by 
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. ($108,352) and Southern 
California Edison Co. ($269,074)for headwater benefits 
to downstream existing plants from Isabella Dam to 
cover benefits from April 15, 1954, to December 31, 
1962. Between 1962 and 1982 the power companies have 
in the aggregate made annual payments of $44,650 for 
headwater benefits. That amount was to be paid each 
year until changes in operation, development, or costs 
indicated some modification to be advisable. Federal 
Power Commission Docket No. E-6578 was revised by 
Docket No. HB07-75-4-000 (order issued July 11, 1983 
under 24 FERC, paragraph 62052) which modified 
cumulative use charges after 1974, effective retroactively. 
Such charges will now vary each year. An 
adjustment (years 1974 through 1984) was included in 
1984 payment of $244,790. The 1985 payment was 
$52,747. Cumulative use charges collected by the 
Federal Power Commission (known as the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission since January 9,1978) 
and returned to the U. S. Treasury through period 
ending September 30, 1985, amounted to $1,657,263.

from Code 710 appropriations is $747,048. For future 
non-Federal reimbursements, see Local cooperation 
paragraph. Operation and maintenance of reservoirs is 
Federal responsibility. 
Local cooperation. California officially adopted projects 
by chapter 1514 of statutes of 1945, State of 
California. Local interests for Terminus Dam are represented 
by Kaweah Delta Water Conservation District. 
Local interests for Success Lake are considered to be 
represented by the Vandalia, Porterville, and Lower 
Tule River Irrigation Districts, the Tulare Lake Basin 
Water Storage District, and Pioneer Water Co., which 
represent over 90 percent of irrigated land and waterright 
holders along Tule River below damsite. Local 
interests must reimburse the Federal Government the 
portion of first cost and annual operation and maintenance 
costs allocated to irrigation functions of projects. 
These costs are estimated at 14.1 percent of first and 
annual costs for Terminus and 9.5 percent of first and 
annual costs for Success. Local interests for Terminus 
stated they will continue to operate and maintain 
spreading works and downstream channel systems to 
provide required capacity for disposal of floodwaters. 
Local interests for Success stated they will continue to 
maintain downstream channel systems to provide 
required capacity for disposal of floodwaters. Repayment 
contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and 
local water users for irrigation supply from Terminus 
and Success reservoirs were executed January 11,1965, 
and April 30, 1965, respectively. Reservoirs are being 
operated for irrigation storage as well as flood control 
and incidental recreation use. Tulare County acquired 
water for recreation pools at the projects. Local interests 
paid the following total amounts for irrigation services 
from the reservoirs through December 31, 1984: 
Terminus, $1,548,205 and Success, $716,568. Tulare 
County was granted a 25-year license for planning, 
development, and management of public recreation 
areas at Success, July 10,1960, and at Terminus, June 5, 
1961. Basic public-use facilities constructed by Corps at 
the Success reservoir were transferred to jurisdiction of 
Tulare County on January 18, 1962; facilities at 
Terminus were transferred June 20, 1962. In March 
1967, an amendment to the license agreements was 
approved by the Assistant Secretary of the Army. 
Under these amended licenses, Tulare County retained 
administration of only specified land areas and operation 
and maintenance of recreation facilities in these 
areas. In addition, they continued their program of 
water safety, boat inspection, and law enforcement at 
both reservoirs. The Corps took over the administration 
of the remainder of the project land areas and the 
operation and maintenance of recreation facilities in 
these areas. Calif. Department of Fish and Game 
expended funds to improve fishery resources of the 
Terminus reservoir. As of April 1, 1972, Tulare County 
relinquished all planning, development, and management 
of public recreation areas at Terminus Dam. 
Tulare County by expenditure of county funds and by a 
lease to a marina concessionaire has aided in the 
development of recreation facilities at an estimated cost 
of $199,000. Calif. Department of Fish and Game 
expended funds in conjunction with Tulare Sportsman's 
Council, developing a habitat for upland game birds at 
Success Lake. As of April 1, 1972, Tulare County 
relinquished all planning, development, and management 
of public recreation areas at Success Lake, except

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
12. MERCED COUNTY STREAM 
GROUP, CA 
Location. Reservoirs and channel improvements are 
on Bear, Burns, Mariposa, and Owens Creeks, in foothills 
of Sierra Nevada about 15 to 20 miles east of city of 
Merced, CA. (See Geological Survey Haystack Mountain 
quadrangle for Burns and Indian Gulch quadrangle for 
Bear, Owens, and Mariposa areas.) 
Existing project. For description of completed 
improvements and authorizing act, see Annual Report 
for 1962. Improvements consist of reservoirs at Mariposa, 
Owens, Burns and Bear Creeks and diversions 
from Black Rascal Creek to Bear Creek and from 
Owens Creek to Mariposa Creek. Total first cost for 
project was $3,899,259, of which $2,751,259 was Federal 
and $1,148,000 non-Federal for lands including relocations 
and channel improvement. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Ordinary maintenance and operation of the four 
completed reservoirs continued. Structures were maintained 
in a serviceable condition. Runoff from drainage 
areas above Merced County stream group reservoirs 
was below normal for the year. (See table 35-K for 
maximum inflow storage and outflow for projects.) 
Outflows were less than channel capacity rates in the 
project streams. Project prevented an estimated 
$651,000 in damages from the December 1984-April 
1985 rainfloods. 
Historical summary. Construction was initiated 
March 1948, with construction of Mariposa project., 
which was completed in November 1948. Construction 
of Owens project, initiated in March, was completed in 
October 1949; Burns project, initiated in July 1949, was 
completed in January 1950; and Bear project initiated 
in April, was completed in December 1954. Black 
Rascal and Owens Creek diversion channels and streamgaging 
stations were completed in April 1956. Local 
interests completed channel enlargement and restoration 
of channel capacities of Miles, Burns, Owens, and 
Mariposa Creeks in 1956 at their expense. Improvement 
of Bear Creek and Black Rascal Slough, below their 
confluence, was deferred pending possible improvements 
downstream, outside limits of project. 
13. PINE FLAT LAKE AND KINGS 
RIVER, CA 
Location. Reservoir is on Kings River, about 25 miles 
east of Fresno, CA, and channel improvements are on 
Kings River downstream from Lemoore weir, about 25 
miles south of Fresno. (See Geological Survey quadrangles 
of area.) 
Existing project. Improvement is a unit in comprehensive 
plan for flood control and other related purposes 
for Sacramento-San Joaquin Basins. Project consists of 
a 429-foot high concrete gravity dam, including a gated 
overflow section with a maximum discharge capacity of 
391,000 cubic feet per second, creating a reservoir with 
gross storage capacity of 1 million acre-feet, for flood 
control, irrigation, and related purposes. Outlet provisions 
for future power development are included in 
dam, but Federal construction of power-generating 
facilities is not authorized. Improvement also includes 
levee and channel work on Kings River and its distributaries 
on valley floor about 25 miles south of Fresno. 
Channel improvement work will enlarge channel capacities 
and regulate flows in lower branches of the Kings 
River. There are nine public-use and recreation areas: 
One maintained by the Corps, four by the Forest 
Service, three jointly by the Corps and concession, and 
one by Fresno County. Also, five boat access-only areas 
are maintained by the Corps on the south side of the 
reservoir. Project cost is $42,072,330, of which 
$41,502,330 is Federal (including $13,700 for basic 
recreation facilities) and $570,000 non-Federal for 
rights-of-way for downstream channel improvements. 
For future non-Federal reimbursement, see Local 
cooperation paragraph. Federal cost of recreation 
facilities for Pine Flat Lake, funded from Code 710 
appropriations is $1,595,100 exclusive of recreation 
facilities previously provided at a cost of $13,700. In 
addition, Federal cost of recreation facilities for Pine 
Flat Lake, funded from Public Works Acceleration 
Executive Act of 1962 appropriations, was $239,235 
(July 1963). Operation and maintenance of dam and 
reservoir is Federal responsibility. Existing project 
was adopted by 1944 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 630, 
76th Cong., 3d sess., contains latest published map). 
Local cooperation. Local interests must reimburse 
the Federal Government for first costs allocated to 
irrigation functions of reservoir portion of project in 
accordance with reclamation law. Under provision of 
War Department Civil Appropriations Act of 1947, the 
Secretary of War, with concurrence of the Secretary of 
the Interior, determined allocation of cost to irrigation 
should be set at an amount not to exceed $14,250,000. In 
addition, local interests must pay 37.4 percent of annual 
maintenance, operation, and replacement costs of dam 
and reservoir allocated to irrigation function. Repayment 
contracts between the Bureau of Reclamation and 
the local water users for the irrigation use of the 
reservoir were executed December 23,1963. The Bureau 
is administering the contracts in accordance with 
reclamation law as amended by the Reclamation Reform 
Act of October 12, 1982. That act generally exempts the 
limitations under the early reclamation laws as being 
applicable to projects constructed by the Corps with two 
exceptions; however, all existing contracts to share 
construction and maintenance costs remain in effect. 
Prior to execution of the final contracts, the Bureau 
provided conservation water to local interests under an 
interim contract. Irrigation interests paid $12,561,530 
for irrigation services through December 31, 1984. 
With respect to the downstream channel improvements, 
sec. 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies. King 
River Conservation District represents local interests; 
assurances were accepted November 20, 1959. Local 
35-10

SACRAMENTO, CA, DISTRICT 
interests have furnished all requirements for construction 
rights-of-way for construction of channel improvements 
required to date. Three concessionaires-one 
each at Lakeridge Marina (Deer Creek), Pine Flat 
Marina and Trimmer Marina provided public-use facilities 
in accordance with lease agreements with the 
Secretary of the Army. Estimated cost to date of 
facilities installed by these concessionaires is $1,727,000. 
Fresno County developed public-use facilities on an 85- 
acre tract immediately downstream from dam for 
picnicking, camping, swimming, and playground activities, 
at an estimated cost to date of $476,000 under 
provisions of a license agreement. The U.S. Forest 
Service developed and operates a picnic area at the 
upper end of reservoir. Cost of site development is about 
$37,500. Installation of a hydroelectric powerplant, 
located at the downstream toe of the Corps Pine Flat 
Dam, was completed in January 1984 by Kings River 
Conservation District. Project consists of an outdoortype 
powerhouse containing three generating units 
with capacities of 55 megawatts each for a total of 165 
megawatts. Conservation District would make use of 
the three existing 13.5-foot diameter penstocks that 
were installed in Pine Flat Dam when constructed in 
1954. 
Licenses. License No. 1988, effective April 1, 1955, 
was issued by Federal Power Commission to Pacific 
Gas and Electric Co. for hydroelectric power development 
of North Fork Kings River by the company 
upstream from the Pine Flat reservoir. Under interim 
Contract No. DA-04-167-eng-1182 with the Department 
of the Army, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. paid for 
storage of power water in the Pine Flat reservoir 
May 15,1954, through March 31,1955. Current Contract 
No. DA-04-167-eng-1328 with the Department of the 
Army provides for storage of power water at the rate of 
0.1375 per acre-foot; the contract covers April 1, 1955, 
through March 31, 2005. By an agreement of January 
1972, supplementing the December 1954 contract, 
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. transferred ownership of 
most of its Kings River system water to the Kings River 
Water Association. Accordingly, no further significant 
storage service to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. by the 
reservoir at Pine Flat is anticipated. Total payment 
under these contracts through June 30, 1972, (last year 
of payment), amounts to $2,478,798; these funds are 
paid to Sacramento District and deposited for return to 
the Treasury. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work, regular funds: None. Code 710 funds: None. 
Maintenance: Maintenance and operation activities 
continued. Water stop repair between three monoliths 
at Pine Flat Dam was initiated and completed at fiscal 
year contract cost of $90,000. Repaving of recreation 
road was completed at fiscal year contract cost of 
$381,548. Structures were maintained in serviceable 
condition. Runoff of Kings River above Pine Flat Dam 
was below normal for the year. Maximum storage of 
840,300 acre-feet occurred on May 28,1985. Maximum 
daily inflow to the reservoir was 6,030 cubic feet per 
second on April 15, 1985, and maximum outflow of 
7,880 cubic feet per second occurred on July 19, 1985. 
During the year, 1,492,600 acre-feet of water was 
released for irrigation and spreading. Dam safety 
assurance studies were continued at a fiscal year cost of 
$65,476. 
Historical summary. Construction began in April 
1947 and project, including channel improvement, was 
completed in September 1977. Main dam was initiated 
in January 1950, completed in June 1954, and has been 
operating since February 1954 to provide flood protection 
for which it was designed. Total of 35.2 miles of new 
and reconstructed levees and 13.2 miles of channel 
clearing have been transferred to the Kings River 
Conservation District for maintenance. Recreation facilities 
for various recreation areas under Code 710 appropriation 
are complete. Completed preliminary design 
and cost estimates for Pine Flat fish barrier were 
reviewed by the State, but the State was unable to 
provide necessary assurances of local cooperation. Dam 
safety assurance studies were initiated in FY 1982. A 
cultural resources survey was completed in FY 1984. 
14. RUSSIAN RIVER BASIN, CA 
Location. Russian River rises in Coast Range in 
northwestern California, flows southerly for 87 miles, 
and then turns westerly to flow for 23 miles to Pacific 
Ocean at Jenner, 60 miles northwest of San Francisco, 
CA. (For general location see Geological Survey map 
for California.) 
Existing project. Active authorized project provides 
for construction of a dam on East Fork of Russian River 
at Coyote Valley to a height of 160 feet; a dam on Dry 
Creek at Warm Springs to a height of 319 feet; and 
channel stabilization works on Russian River between 
mouth and mile 98, on lower reaches of several tributaries, 
and on Dry Creek downstream from dam. Coyote 
Valley Dam (Lake Mendocino), completed in 1959, is 
operated and maintained by the United States. (See 
tables 35-L and 35-M for latest approved estimated 
costs.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for Coyote 
Valley Dam and channel improvements accomplished 
to date. For the Dry Creek portion, local interests are 
required by the authorizing act to comply with the 
usual a., b., c. requirements for channel improvements 
and, in addition, prevent any encroachment in the 
channel of Dry Creek which would interfere with 
proper functioning of the channel improvement works; 
adjust all claims concerning water rights arising from 
the construction and operation of the improvements, 
including acquisition of water rights needed for preservation 
of fish and wildlife resources affected by the 
project; and reimburse the United States in accordance 
with the Water Supply Actof 1958, as amended, for that 
part of the construction cost, (27.8% of total construction 
cost, currently estimated at $94,500,000) and the annual 
operation, maintenance, and replacement costs allocated 
35-11

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
to municipal and industrial water supply, tentatively 
estimated at $358,000. The estimated annual cost to 
local interests for maintenance of channel improvement 
works is $74,900. Sonoma County Water Agency (formerly 
Sonoma County Flood Control and Water Conservation 
District) provided assurances of willingness and 
ability to meet requtirements by Resolutions No. DR 
00793-1, September 25, 1961, No. DR 4770-1, 
December 17, 1962, and No. DR 45759, August 5,

By letter dated March 7, 1967, Sonoma County Flood 
Control and Water Conservation District further indicated 
their interest in optimization of the Dry Creek 
(Warm Springs) damsite to provide additional water 
supply storage. Reimbursement to the United States for 
Dry Creek (Warm Springs) Lake and Channel costs 
allocated to 212,000 acre-feet of water supply storage is 
specified in a water supply contract with the local 
sponsor approved in October 1982. Local interests have 
expended approximately $1,000,000 to provide partial 
flood protection in project area and have constructed 
facilities at an approximate cost of $20,000,000 to 
distribute water from the completed Coyote Valley 
reservoir. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work: Coyote Valley Dam: None. Dry Creek (Warm 
Springs) Lake and Channel: Engineering activities

reimbursement, see Local cooperation paragraph. 
Federal cost for recreation facilities funded from Code 
710 appropriations is $1,000,162. A concessionaire at 
Black Butte Marina provided public use facilities in 
accordance with lease agreement with the Secretary of 
the Army at an estimated cost to date of $87,000. (e) 
Authorization also provided for construction of Table 
Mountain (Iron Canyon) project, an earthfill dam on 
Sacramento River about 3 miles north of Red Bluff, CA. 
This project unit was deauthorized August 5, 1977. For 
details, see Annual Report for 1978. 
Local cooperation. (a) Sacramento River and major 
and minor tributaries: Sec. 3, Flood Control Act of June 
22, 1936, applies. Fully complied with for all work 
completed or under contract, and local interests indicated 
they will be able to fulfill requirements for 
remaining work as scheduled. Levee construction (107 
miles) total requirement for the "active" project has 
been completed, transferred to, and accepted by the 
State. (b) Sacramento River, Chico Landing to Red 
Bluff: Sec. 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, 
applies; local interests must also assume responsibility 
for flood plain zoning. Fully complied with for portions 
completed in Tehama, Butte, and Glenn Counties; 
completed work, bank protection at 36 sites, was transferred 
to and accepted by the State. (c) Sacramento 
River Bank Protection Project: Sec. 3, Flood Control 
Act of June 22, 1936, applies. Local interests must also 
contribute an amount in cash that, when added to costs 
of lands, easements, rights-of-way and utility modifications, 
equals one-third of cost of each unit of remedial 
work; this contribution is estimated (October 1985) at 
$25,000,000. Local interests fully complied with requirements 
for all work completed or under contract, and 
indicated they will be able to fulfill requirements for 
remaining work as scheduled. In addition, for reaches 
where local interests request bank stabilization in lieu 
of more feasible levee setbacks, local interests will 
contribute costs over and above costs of setbacks, and 
provide local contribution indicated above. Completed 
units transferred to and accepted by the State. (d) Black 
Butte Lake: None required for construction. Local 
interests must pay the portion of first cost and annual 
operation and maintenance costs allocated to the conservation 
functions of the project; these costs are estimated 
at 39.9 percent of first cost and 40.2 percent of annual 
costs. From March 2,1960, to October 22,1970, contract 
between the Bureau of Reclamation and the State of 
California provided for repayment of irrigation storage 
costs; Bureau administered contract in accordance with 
reclamation law. Local interests paid a total of $77,205 
for irrigation services during this period. Public Law 
502, 91st Cong., 2d sess., October 23,1970, provided that 
Black Butte project be financially integrated with the 
Central Valley project, coordinated operationally with 
other Central Valley project storage units by the Bureau 
under the Secretary of the Interior, and that dam and 
reservoir at Black Butte be physically operated and 
maintained by the Corps in a manner compatible with 
recreational use of the reservoir. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New

16. WALNUT CREEK, CA 
Location. Project is on Walnut Creek and lower 
reaches of its principal tributaries, Pacheco, Grayson, 
San Ramon, Las Trampas, Galindo, and Pine Creeks in 
Contra Costa County, CA. Improvement will extend 
from Suisun Bay to head of project about 1 mile above 
southern limits of city of Walnut Creek. City of Walnut 
Creek is about 10 miles south of Suisun Bay. (See 
Geological Survey quadrangles for area.) 
Existing project. Comprises extension of existing 
levees, construction of new levees and concrete channels, 
channel rectification and enlargement, and utilization 
of improvements constructed or planned by local interests. 
Plan provides for about 21.8 miles of channel 
improvement, two reinforced-concrete drop structures, 
two stilling basins, and 13.8 miles of levees. Cost 
estimate (1985) is $87,500,000 (includes an allowance 
for estimated inflation through the construction period), 
of which $62,800,000 is Federal cost and $24,700,000 is 
non-Federal cost (includes $19,700,000 for lands and 
damages and relocations except railroad facilities, and 
$5,000,000 required cash contribution for land enhancement 
benefits provided by the project). Local interests 
have expended about $3 million for flood control in the 
project area during the period 1955-1965, including the 
concrete conduits constructed through the city of Walnut 
Creek at an estimated cost of $1,000,000 considered a 
preproject condition to be incorporated in the Corps 
project. The cost thereof is not included in above costs of 
local cooperation. Improvement adopted by 1960 Flood 
Control Act (H. Doc. 76, 86th Cong., 1st sess., contains 
latest published map). 
Local cooperation. Section 3, Flood Control Act of 
June 22,1936, applies, except that relocation of railroad 
facilities is a Federal responsibility. In addition, local 
interests must make a cash contribution to the United 
States, in amount of 7.4 percent of cost of construction 
for land enhancement benefits provided by project. 
Cash contribution is estimated (October 1985) at 
$5,000,000. Local interests are represented by Contra 
Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation 
District; formal assurances, including evidence of financial 
and legal ability to fulfill requirement for the cash 
contribution, were accepted by the Sacramento District 
Engineer on November 15, 1963. The Flood Control 
District furnished all rights-of-way required to date 
and indicated that it will furnish all requirements as 
needed for future construction. The Flood Control 
District will arrange for highway bridge modifications 
and utility relocations before start of work by the Corps 
contractor. Payment of required contributed funds will 
be made in installments in amounts equal to 7.4 percent 
of the estimated construction expenditure for each 
fiscal year. To date, $2,628,247 has been furnished.

Multiple-Purpose Projects including Power 
21. NEW MELONES LAKE, CA 
Location. On Stanislaus River about three-quarters 
mile downstream from existing Melones Dam and 
about 35 miles northeast of city of Modesto. (See 
Geological Survey quadrangles of the area.) 
Existing project. Provides for construction of (a) an 
earth and rockfill dam about 625 feet high to create a 
reservoir with gross storage capacity of about 2,400,000 
acre-feet for flood control, irrigation, power, general 
recreation, fish and wildlife, and other purposes, and (b) 
a powerplant below the dam with an installed capacity 
of 300,000 kilowatts. Upon completion of construction of 
dam and powerplant by the Corps, the project became 
an integral part of Central Valley project and is being 
operated and maintained by the Secretary of the Interior 
pursuant to Federal reclamation laws, except that the 
flood control operation of the project shall be in accordance 
with rules and regulations prescribed by the 
Secretary of the Army. Maintenance of Stanislaus 
River channel from Goodwin Dam to San Joaquin River 
to a capacity of at least 8,000 cubic feet per second will 
also be Corps responsibility. Approved estimated 
(October 1985) Federal cost is $382,000,000 (includes an 
allowance for estimated inflation through the construction 
period). For future non-Federal reimbursement, 
35-16

SACRAMENTO, CA, DISTRICT 
see Local cooperation paragraph. In addition, local 
interests expended $300,000 for levees along lower 
reaches of Stanislaus River. Existing project was 
adopted by 1962 Flood Control Act (H. Doc. 453, 87th 
Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map). This act 
modified original authorization adopted by 1944 Flood 
Control Act. (H. Flooa Control Committee Doc. 2, 78th 
Cong., 2d sess., contains latest published map.) The 
1944 Flood Control act established $8 million monetary 
limitation for partial accomplishment of project. Further 
monetary authorizations of $2.5 million, $5 million, 
$13 million, $2 million, $17 million, $18 million, $44 
million, $83 million, $46 million, $6 million, and $61 
million were provided for this project by Public Laws 
235 and 780, 83d Cong., and 85-500, 90-17, 90-483, 
91-282, 92-222, 93-251, 94-397, 95-104, and 95-189, 
making a total monetary authorization of $305,500,000 
available for the basin plan comprising Lower San 
Joaquin River and tributaries, including Tuolumne and 
Stanislaus Rivers, CA. Since FY 1979, appropriations 
have not been subject to the river basin monetary 
limitation and legislation is before Congress to eliminate 
the monetary limitation ceiling. 
Local cooperation. Based on approved preliminary 
cost allocation studies (July 1965) local interests will be 
required to pay 35.2 percent of first cost and 12.7 
percent of annual operation and maintenance costs 
allocated to irrigation. In addition, 31.1 percent of first 
cost and 62.5 percent of annual cost would be allocated 
to power. Local interests must also maintain existing 
private levees along Stanislaus River from Goodwin 
Dam to San Joaquin River and prevent encroachment 
on channel and floodway between levees to preserve 
safe carrying capacity throughout the reach of at least 
8,000 cubic feet per second. Recovery of costs allocated 
to irrigation and power will be the responsibility of the 
Bureau of Reclamation. Reimbursement of costs will be 
in accordance with Bureau policies and procedures for 
the Central Valley project. State of California officially 
adopted project by chapter 918 of statutes of 1963, and 
by chapter 1438 of those statutes authorized State 
Reclamation Board to furnish required assurances. The 
Board, by letter dated December 13, 1963, stated it 
would furnish required assurances when formally 
requested to do so. Assurances were requested by letter 
of December 30, 1977. On October 2, 1979, the Board 
reaffirmed its intent to furnish the required assurances. 
On January 6, 1983, the Board provided formal assurances 
of local cooperation. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work: Engineering activities continued including continuation 
of plans and specifications for the Lower 
Stanislaus recreation areas, minimal recreation facilities 
only. Fiscal year costs for major items of work 
included: Continuation of land acquisition activities, 
$1,257,595; continuation of Glory Hole minimal recreation 
facilities contract, $131,598; initiation and completion 
of a boundary fencing contract, $134,669; initiation 
and functional completion of Tuttletown minimal recreation 
facilities, $1,820,422; completion of Lower. 
Stanislaus Phase I, minimal recreation facilities; 
$236,496; and completion of Lower Stanislaus Administration 
Building contract, $556,575. Maintenance: Maintenance 
and operation activities continued on Lower 
Stanislaus River. 
Historical summary. Construction was initiated in 
August 1966. Main dam contract which was awarded in 
March 1974 has been completed; dam dedication ceremonies 
were held July 14, 1979. Cultural resources 
preservation, water intake facilities, flood control and 
irrigation tailrace modification, reservoir area clearing, 
Tuttletown Phase I recreation area, Oakdale recreation, 
Glory Hole Phase I recreation area, and operations 
access road contracts have all been completed. Glory 
Hole minimal recreation facilities contract has been 
initiated. A boundary fencing contract, Lower Stanislaus 
Phase I minimal recreation facilities contract, Lower 
Stanislaus Corporation Yard contract, and Lower 
Stanislaus Administration Building contract have been 
completed. Tuttletown minimal recreation facilities 
contract has been functionally completed. Overall project 
is nearing completion except for Lower Stanislaus 
River recreation facilities. Remaining recreation facilities 
were unscheduled pending development of cost 
sharing agreements with local interests. A Memorandum 
of Understanding between the Department of the 
Interior and the Department of the Army transferring 
the New Melones dam and reservoir from the Corps of 
Engineers to the Bureau of Reclamation was executed 
on November 20, 1979. Agreement provides that the 
Corps complete land acquisition actions and retain 
budgeting, design, and construction responsibility for 
reservoir clearing and recreation development; completion 
of cultural resources mitigation in project area was 
vested in the Department of the Interior. The California 
State Water Resources Control Board's Decision 1422 of 
April 1973 established conditions which impacted on 
the planned filling and operation of the project by the 
Department of the Interior. As a result, the Department 
of Interior brought suit against the State of California 
claiming State limitations on project operation were 
contrary to Congressional intent and authority. The 
case was heard before the U.S. District Court in Fresno, 
CA, and in early March 1981, a Federal judge ruled that 
the Federal Government could fill the New Melones 
reservoir for purpose of generating electrical power, 
but not for agricultural or other purposes. Both the 
Government and the California State Resources Control 
Board appealed this decision to the 9th Circuit Court of 
Appeals in San Francisco, CA. 
On December 20, 1982, the Court upheld all 25 
requirements placed on the Federal Government by the 
State Water Resources Control Board. The decision 
reversed the lower court's decision to permit filling of 
the reservoir for generating electrical power. The 
Bureau of Reclamation subsequently filed for a permit 
from the State Water Resources Control Board to fill 
the reservoir. Permit was approved. The Bureau had 
35-17

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
originally started generating power on a limited basis 
on July 1, 1979; however, after the filling of the 
reservoir in spring of 1983, full power generating 
benefits are being attained. Project is about 97 percent 
complete.

recreation facilities. 
Project has been in "deferred" status since 
September 15, 1977 due to lack of local assurances. In 
April 1982, the cities of Fairfield and Suisun requested 
reactivation of project and expressed intent to provide 
local assurances for a modified project providing 100- 
year level of flood protection rather than 200-year level 
as authorized. On June 23,1982, project was reclassified 
from "deferred" to "active" status. Phase II General 
Design Memorandum Supplement No.1 was continued. 
Post Authorization Change is no longer required. Estimated 
preconstruction planning cost is $1,147,000. 
Project is included in FY 1985 Supplemental Appropriations 
Act (Public Law 99-88) as a new construction 
start. Construction initiation is contingent upon approval 
of Local Cooperation Agreement (sec. 221). 
PAJARO PIVER BASIN, CA 
Pajaro River and tributaries drain an area of 1,300 
square miles in the Coast Range and empty into Monterey 
Bay about 75 miles south of San Francisco. Pajaro 
Valley sub-basin in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties 
includes 112 square miles in lower 13 miles of Pajaro 
River. 
Plan of improvement consists of construction of a 
variable setback levee beginning approximately 1,000 
feet upstream of Miller Avenue and ending 2,000 feet 
below Thomas Road Bridge on north side of Uvas 
Creek. 
Phase I General Design Memorandum with Environmental 
Impact Statement was completed by San 
Francisco District in FY 1982. A Post Authorization 
Change was approved by the Office of Chief of Engineers 
on August 4,1982. Responsibility for remaining portions 
of advance engineering and design, plans and specifications 
and construction was transferred to the Sacramento 
District in April 1982. Phase I General Design Memorandum 
was approved as basis for continued preconstruction 
planning as a combined General Design 
Memorandum. Combined General Design Memorandum 
was completed in November 1984 and approved on 
June 17,1985. Record of Decision was signed on June 20, 
1985. Plans and specifications for levee improvement 
and construction of recreation trails were approved in 
September 1985. Estimated preconstruction planning 
cost is $560,000. 
LITTLE DELL LAKE, UT 
Project will be located on Dell Creek, a tributary of 
Parleys Creek, about 8 miles east of Salt Lake City, UT. 
Project providing for construction of a dam about 253 
feet high to create a reservoir with a gross capacity of 
30,000 acre-feet for flood control, municipal and industrial 
water supply, recreation and fish and wildlife was 
authorized by the 1968 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 53, 
90th Cong., 1st sess., contains latest published map) as 
modified by sec. 170, Water Resources Development 
Act of 1976, Public Law 94-587, October 22, 1976. The 
facility would be operated in conjunction with existing 
downstream 3,200 acre-foot Mountain Dell Reservoir 
on Parleys Creek for flood control and water supply. 
Plans and specifications for redesign of Highway 65 
realignment and relocation were initiated by the Utah 
Department of Transportation. An evaluation of cost 
for relocating the Little Dell Pony Express Station was 
completed by an architectural-engineering contract as 
part of the cultural resources aspect of the project. 
Estimated preconstruction planning cost is $2,620,000. 
Project is included in FY 1985 Supplemental Appropriations 
Act (Public Law 99-88), August 15, 1985, as a 
new construction start. Construction initiation is contingent 
upon approval of Local Cooperation Agreement 
(sec. 221).

Mariposa County foothills of Sierra Nevada into Merced 
County in vicinity of city of Merced, CA. Project is 
modification of Merced County Stream Group, CA, 
35-19

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Improvement No. 13, authorized by 1944 Flood Control 
Act and completed FY 1957. Project providing for 
construction of three new reservoirs-Castle, Haystack 
Mountain, and Marguerite on Canal, Black Rascal, and 
Deadman-Dutchman Creeks, respectively, and enlargement 
of four existing reservoirs-Burns, Bear, Owens, 
and Mariposa, was authorized by 1970 Flood Control 
Act (Document not yet printed). 
Current plan of improvement would defer enlargement 
of existing Burns reservoir, Mariposa reservoir, construction 
of Marguerite Dam, and the irrigation function 
associated with the latter two facilities, enlargement of 
existing Owens reservoir and about 32 miles of levee 
and channel improvement on Owens, Mariposa, and 
Deadman-Dutchman Creeks. 
Phase I General Design Memorandum was approved 
February 1982 and Phase II General Design Memorandum 
was approved June 1982. Channel Improvement 
Design Memorandum was completed in September 
1984. Estimated preconstruction planning cost is 
$4,550,000. Project is included in FY 1985 Supplemental 
Appropriations Act (Public Law 99-88) as a new construction 
start. Construction initiation is contingent 
upon approval of Local Cooperation Agreement (sec. 
221).
SACRAMENTO RIVER DEEP WATER SHIP 
CHANNEL, CA 
Plan of improvement consists primarily of deepening 
to 35 feet the Suisun Bay and Sacramento River Deep 
Water Ship Channels from New York Slough to Port of 
Sacramento, and the Avon to New York Slough reach to 
35 feet which will be accomplished under the San 
Francisco Bay to Stockton (John F. Baldwin and 
Stockton Ship Channels) project. 
Selected plan also provides for a water quality monitoring 
program, authority to construct a submerged 
sill, 45 acres of land for establishment of wetland 
habitat, and 156 acres of land for upland habitat to 
mitigate for losses of such habitat. 
Draft General Design Memorandum and Environmental 
Impact Statement were completed in August 
1985. Estimated preconstruction planning cost is 
$1,475,000. Project is included in FY 1985 Supplemental 
Appropriations Act (Public Law 99-88), August 15, 
1985, as a new construction start. Construction initiation 
is contingent upon approval of Local Cooperation Agreement 
(sec. 221). 
26. OTHER WORK UNDER SPECIAL 
AUTHORITY 
Under the Aquatic Plant Control Program (River 
and Harbor Act of 1965, sec. 302, Public Law 289, 89th 
Congress) a State Design Memorandum and an environmental 
assessment regarding the waterhyacinth problem 
in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CA, were 
completed by the Corps in FY 1985. The Calif Department 
of Boating and Waterways had requested assistance 
from the Corps on September 28, 1981, to find a 
solution to the waterhyacinth problems in the Delta. In 
a meeting on May 28, 1985, the Department of Boating 
and Waterways notified the Corps that the State control 
program had reduced the problem to a maintenance 
problem, that State funding is adequate to operate the 
current waterhyacinth maintenance program, and that 
Federal assistance is not needed at this time. State 
control program included chemicals to eliminate the 
immediate problem and biological control agents to 
provide long term control. Cost sharing agreement (70 
percent Federal-30 percent State) was not applicable to 
preparation of State Design Memorandum nor the 
environmental assessment. Total Federal cost as of 
September 30, 1985, was $80,649.

22. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF 
BASIC DATA 
Flood plain management services. Flood Plain 
Management Services Program comes under Section 206, 
PL 86-645, 1960 Flood Control Act, as-arrended. Through 
technical services and planning guidance, the program provides 
information on floods and flood related information 
to improve planning for the careful use of the nation's flood 
plains, thereby reducing the potential for losses to life and 
property from floods and wave actions. Federal and nonfederal 
agencies and the private sector are assisted with flood 
hazard evaluation and planning information for flood and 
coastal hazard areas. This assistance is in the form of local 
flood plain regulations, National Flood Insurance requirements, 
and Executive Order 11988 requirements for federal 
agencies. Such assistance may include flood information 
and timing, flood-water velocity, extent of flooding, duration 
of flooding, flood frequency and regulatory floodway 
limits. 
Services accomplished during fiscal year. Requests 
and responses for technical services and planning assistance 
totaled 625. Of this total, 80 were from other federal agencies, 
295 from non-federal agencies, and 250 from individuals, 
realtors, corporations, lending institutions, engineers, 
architects and others. Of the 625 requests, assistance resulted 
in 2,600 site specific responses. A hurricane vulnerability 
study was initiated in September 1983 as join study with 
the State of Hawaii and is scheduled for completion in 
November 1985. The estimated total cost is $225,000 (Federal: 
$55,000; Non-federal: $170,000.) Costs for providing 
Flood Plain Management services during fiscal year were 
$264,197.

high water is 6.9 feet and extreme is about 12 feet. Construction 
of jetties was completed December 1957. 
Removal of rock pinnacles and an abandoned bridge structure 
was accomplished in June 1959. Under authorized 
modification of October 1965, two contracts were completed. 
Construction of entrance channel and extension 
of north jetty was initiated in July 1968 and completed 
in July 1969. Construction of a protective dike, turning 
basin and small boat access channel was started in 
September 1969 and completed in March 1970. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. The Port Commission of Brookings 
has developed two large boat basins, one for commercial 
fishing boats and the other for small private boats, and 
a public boat launching ramp. There are four fish receiving 
docks and a sea-going barge dock for lumber loading 
and storage. There is also a privately owned marina and 
a Coast Guard Station. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: A total 
of 35,045 cubic yards of material was removed by the U.S. 
hopper dredge Yaquina. 
4. COLUMBIA AND LOWER WILLAMETTE 
RIVERS BELOW VANCOUVER, WA, AND 
PORTLAND, OR 
Location. The Columbia River rises in British Columbia, 
through which it flows for 425 miles. It enters the 
United States in northeastern Washington, and empties 
into the Pacific Ocean 645 miles north of San Francisco 
Bay and 160 miles south of Strait of Juan DeFuca. Total 
length of river is 1,210 miles. (See NOAA Charts 18520, 
18521, 18522, 18523, 18524, 18526, & 18531; also 
Geological Survey Map of Washington). Willamette River 
rises in Cascade Range in southwestern Oregon, flows northerly, 
and empties into Columbia River about 100 miles 
from the sea. Its length from source of Middle Fork is 
about 294 miles. Project embraces 103.5 miles of Columbia 
River below Vancouver, WA, and 14.6 miles of 
Willamette River below Portland, OR. (See NOAA Chart 
18526 and Geological Survey Map, State of Oregon.) 
Existing project. Provides for a channel 35 feet deep 
and 500 feet wide from River Mile 106.5 to 105.5, the 
distance between existing highway and railroad bridges; 
a channel 40 feet deep and 600 feet wide from Vancouver, 
WA, River Mile 105.5 to mouth of Columbia River, River 
Mile 3; a turning basin at Vancouver, WA, 40 feet deep, 
800 feet wide, and about 5,000 feet long; a turning basin 
at Longview, WA, 40 feet deep, average width of 1,200 feet, 
and about 6,000 feet long; and a channel 40 feet deep in 
the Willamette River with varying widths of 600 to 1,900 
feet from mouth (River Mile 0) to Broadway Bridge (River 
Mile 11.6) which encompasses Portland Harbor area, subject 
to provisions that channel from mouth of Willamette 
River to turning basin at Vancouver, WA, be limited to 
500 feet in width until need for additional width is 
demonstrated by developed traffic. Existing project also 
provides for auxiliary channels 10 feet deep and 300 feet 
wide near Cathlamet, WA; 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide 
in St. Helens (Oregon) Channel; and 30 feet deep and 500 
feet wide connecting upper end of St. Helens Channel with 
main ship channel of Columbia; 24 feet deep and 200 feet 
wide along frontage of town of Rainier, OR, extended at 
its upper and lower ends to deep water in Columbia River, 
8 feet deep and 150 feet wide from this depth in Columbia 
River through old mouth of Cowlitz River to a point 
about 3,000 feet upstream from present terminus of harbor 
line; a channel from Longview Port dock downstream 
along pierhead line and past Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. 
,plant at Longview to a connection with main ship channel 
below Mount Coffin, the downstream 2,400 feet of this 
channel to be 30 feet deep and 300 feet wide and remainder 
to be 28 feet deep and 250 feet wide; construction 
of a small-boat mooring basin at Astoria, OR, to include 
a sheet-pile, sand-filled breakwater about 2,400 feet 
long with a 30-foot roadway along its full length, and steel 
pile shore wings totaling about 1,460 feet long and for 
stone-and-pile dikes and revetments. Plane of reference 
in estuary from mouth to Harrington Point is mean lower 
low water; thence to Portland and Vancouver, low water. 
Tidal range between mean lower low water and mean 
higher high water at mouth of Columbia is about 8 feet, 
and at Portland and Vancouver about 3 feet at low stages 
of rivers. Extreme tidal ranges are about 13 and 3 feet, 
respectively. Annual freshets have little effect on stage 
of tide at mouth of Columbia; at Portland and Vancouver 
they average about 12 feet, while highest known reached 
a stage of 33 feet above low water at Portland. 
Work on the 40-foot channel in Columbia River from 
Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, to the sea was completed 
in 1976 except for observation of channel to determine 
if additional control structures or dredging will be 
required. Auxiliary channel in vicinity of Longview was 
completed in 1949, and improvement of mouth of Cowlitz 
River and small boat mooring basin at Astoria were completed 
in 1950. Project depths are maintained all year except 
for the period immediately following the annual 
freshet in May-June when shoaling occurs at several locations. 
Timing of vessel movement with tidal fluctuations 
permit maximum draft conditions. In Columbia and 
Willamette Rivers between mouth and Broadway Bridge 
at Portland a depth of 40 feet at low tide and 42 feet at 
high tide is practicable all year. In Columbia River between 
mouth of Willamette River and Vancouver, WA, 
depths of 40 and 42 feet at low and high tide, respectively, 
are practicable all year. (For details relating to previous 
project, see pages 1995 and 1998 of Annual Report for 
1915 and page 1746 of Annual Report for 1938.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Requirements 
are described in full on page 37-3 of FY 1981 
Annual Report. 
Trminal facilities. At Portland, OR, there are six Port 
of Portland terminals consisting of 43 berths with total 
capacity of 8,800,000 tons equipped to handle general 
cargo, bulk cargo, lumber, automobiles, lift on-lift off and 
roll on-roll off containers, and breakbulk vessels. The Port 
of Portland owns and operates a major ship repair yard, 
which includes the West Coast's largest, and the world's

20. ROGUE RIVER HARBOR AT GOLD BEACH, 
OR 
Location. Rises in Cascade Range in southwestern 
Oregon, flows westerly through Coast Range, and empties 
into Pacific Ocean 264 miles south of mouth of Columbia 
River and 381 miles north of San Francisco Bay. 
(See NOAA Chart 18202.) 
Existing project. Two jetties at entrance, and a channel 
13 feet deep and 300 feet wide from ocean to a point 
immediately below State highway bridge, about 1 mile, 
including widening channel at a point about 0.25 mile 
below bridge to form a turning basin 13 feet deep, 500 feet 
wide, and 650 feet long. At request of local interests, turning 
basin was located in south portion of estuary 
downstream from a point 0.25 mile below bridge. This 
change was effected to permit adequate terminal facilities 
to be constructed adjacent to turning basin. Mean lower 
low water is plane of reference. Range of tide between 
mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 7 
feet, and extreme about 14 feet. 
Project as authorized has been completed. Construction 
of two jetties at entrance was completed September 1960. 
Dredging river channel by contract and entrance bar by 
government plant was completed October 1961. North jetty 
rehabilitation along channel side was completed October 
1966. Breakwater construction and dredging, under 
contract awarded in September 1964, was 17 percent accomplished 
when flood of December 1964 destroyed all 
completed works. Contract was terminated as further construction 
at that location was considered unfeasible. Bank 
protection work at Wedderburn location was completed 
in October 1972. A breakwater, constructed by Port of Gold

A modification to the existing project was authorized 
by Public Law 96-367, October 1, 1980. North and south 
jetty modifications were completed in FY 85. Modifications 
provide for extending the north and south jetties by 
1,900 and 2,300 feet respectively. The jetty extensions will 
terminate at approximately the minus 25-foot contour. 
Spur jetties were constructed on each jetty extension to 
prevent longshore currents from transporting material 
around the heads of the jetties. Each spur jetty is 400 feet 
long and originate approximately 900 feet shoreward of 
the jetty head. The north jetty spur is oriented 45 degrees 
to the north of the existing jetty alignment and the south 
jetty spur 45 degrees to the south of the jetty alignment. 
Estimated cost of jetty work is $30,727,000; $30,500,000 
Corps of Engineers, $183,000 non-Federal, and $44,000 
U.S. Coast Guard.

27. WILLAMETTE RIVER ABOVE PORTLAND 
AND YAMHILL RIVER, OR 
Location. Yamhill River rises in Coast Range, flows 
easterly, and empties into Willamette River about 42 
miles above Portland. Its length from source of South Fork 
is about 52 miles. (See NOAA Chart 18526 and Geological 
Survey map, State of Oregon.) For description of 
Willamette River see Improvement No. 4. 
Existing project. Provides for improvement of 
Willamette River between Portland (mile 14) and Oregon 
City (mile 26) by a channel 8 feet deep at low water, 200 
feet wide below Cedar Island and 150 feet wide thence 
to Oregon City; such channel improvement and contraction 
works as may be necessary to secure with streamfiow 
regulation, controlling depths of 6 feet at low water and 
of no prescribed width, from Oregon City to mouth of Santiam 
River (mile 108.5), 5 feet from that point to Albany 
(mile 120) 2.5 to 3.5 feet deep from Albany to Corvallis 
(mile 132), and for necessary snagging between Corvallis 
and Eugene (mile 185). Local interests dredge and maintain 
a 20-foot channel to the dock at Lake Oswego for 
receipt of limerock. Project also provides for a channel in 
Yamhill River 4 feet deep at low water and 60 feet wide 
from its mouth to McMinnville (18 miles) secured by 
means of a lock and dam near Lafayette and by removal 
of obstructions. Section of Willamette River in vicinity of 
Willamette Falls at Oregon City is covered by Section 28. 
For Willamette River below falls at Oregon City ordinary 
fluctuation of stage of water is 15 feet and extreme fluctuation 
due to flood conditions 35 to 50 feet. Above Oregon 
City ordinary fluctuation is 12 to 20 feet and extreme is 
20 to 27 feet. For Yamhill River ordinary fluctuation is 
35 feet and extreme 48 feet. Tidal changes vary from about 
2.5 feet at mouth of Willamette to zero, 26 miles above 
mouth. 
Project is about 18 percent complete. The 8-foot channel 
between Portland and Oregon City and 2.5- to 3.5-foot 
channel between Oregon City and Albany were completed 
in 1939. The 2.5- to 3.5-foot channel between Albany and 
Corvallis was completed in 1945. Remaining work required 
to complete project consists of construction of such 
contraction works and channel improvements as may be 
necessary, with streamflow regulation, to secure controlling 
depths of 6 feet at low water from Oregon City to 
mouth of Santiam River, and 5 feet from that point to 
Albany. This remaining portion has been placed in the 
deferred category. Due to lack of use by commercial traffic 
for which facilities were provided, operation of Yamhill 
lock was discontinued February 7, 1954, and the lock and 
adjacent property reported surplus and turned over to 
Yamhill County January 16, 1959. There is no 
maintenance of the channel above Newberg, so it is only 
usable during higher river stages. (For details relating 
to previous projects see page 1997 of Annual Report for 
1915 and page 1754 of Annual Report for 1938.) 
Local cooperation. None required.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
provided for by purchase, rehabilitation, and deepening 
to 6 feet at low water of existing canal and locks and 
separation of canal from waterpower intake by construction 
of a concrete division wall. Construction of a new lock 
is currently an inactive project. The existing locks are on 
the National Register for historic sites, making their 
replacement unlikely. Total length of existing canals and 
locks is about 3,500 feet. Principal features of existing 
canal and locks at Willamette Falls are set forth in Table 
37-K. Ordinary fluctuation of stage of water above locks 
is 12 feet and extreme, due to flood conditions, 20 feet. 
Below locks, ordinary fluctuation is 15 feet and extreme 
50 feet. 
Canal and locks originally constructed by private interests 
in 1873 were purchased by the United States in 
April 1915 for $375,000. Final report on purchase and 
rehabilitation of canal and locks is in Annual Report for 
1923, when project was reported 98 percent complete. 
Replacement of gates Nos. 6 and 7 was completed August 
1967 under minor rehabilitation funds. Existing locks and 
grounds are in fair condition and in continuous operation 
except when flooded out by high water or undergoing 
repair. Facilities are obsolete and inadequate for existing 
traffic. No construction work has been done on lock and 
guard lock, which was authorized to replace existing 
facilities by Flood Control Act of 1939, and River and Harbor 
Act of 1945. This portion of the project has been 
reclassified "deferred". 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Crown Zellerbach Corp. has a 
timber wharf about 850 feet long, extending to and supported 
by concrete division wall built in lock canal by 
United States. This wharf is used for receiving mill supplies 
and shipping paper and paper products.

for two small boat mooring basins at Newport, OR. Mean 
lower low water is plane of reference. Tidal range between 
mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 8 
feet and extreme is about 12 feet. 
Project as originally authorized was completed in May 
1952. Restoration ofjetties was completed in 1934 and extension 
of north jetty 1,000 feet seaward was completed 
in 1940. Construction of mooring basin at Newport and 
dredging of channel and turning basin to project dimensions 
were completed during fiscal year 1949. Restoration 
of north jetty was again accomplished in 1956. Under 
modification of July 3, 1958, extension of north jetty was 
completed in September 1966, dredging of 40-foot bar 
channel and 30-foot river channel was completed in October 
1968, and extension of south jetty was completed 
in June 1972. (For details relating to previous projects see 
Annual Report for 1893, part 4, page 3314, and Annual 
Report for 1938, page 1736.) 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. At McLean Point, on north side 
of bay, about 2 miles from entrance, Yaquina Terminals 
has two berths capable of serving ocean-going vessels, one 
435 feet long, the second 520 feet long. At the time the 
second berth was dredged, a retaining wall and fill of 6 
acres were constructed adjacent to deep water. The company 
now has 40 acres of filled land adjacent to deep water, 
and of this total, 7 acres were constructed in 1956-57. This 
facility has necessary carriers and lift trucks for handling 
lumber cargoes, warehouse for covered cargo storage, 
and is open to all on equal terms. In recent years, deep 
draft vessel usage has been increasing, averaging 1-2 per 
month in FY 1985. 
Port of Newport has a public wharf within 300 feet of 
frontage for servicing fishing boats. In addition, Port of 
Newport maintains 510 berths for mooring commercial 
and sport fishing vessels. There are several seafood companies 
on the bay which have their own facilities for 
handling fresh fish and crab. Supplies and petroleum products 
are readily available for small vessels. On south side 
of bay about 1.2 miles above entrance, Port of Newport 
has constructed South Beach Marina which can handle 
approximately 600 small pleasure craft and shallow draft 
fishing boats. Public facilities include public automobile 
and boat trailer parking, boat launching ramp, fuel dock, 
fishing pier, and picnic area. A dry boat moorage for 120 
boats, is nearing completion. A swing hoist with 3-ton 
capacity is currently available and one with 60-ton capacity 
is planned.

31. APPLEGATE LAKE, ROGUE RIVER BASIN, 
OR 
Location. In Jackson County, OR, on Upper Applegate 
River, a tributary of Rogue River, at River Mile 46, about 
23 airline miles southwest of Medford, OR. 
Existing project. A gravel-fill embankment dam, 242 
feet high from streambed to crest with an overall length 
of 1,300 feet. A gate-controlled concrete chute-type 
spillway on the left abutment, and a regulating outlet conduit, 
and intake tower with multilevel intakes on the left 
side of valley floor. Lake, 5 miles long, provides 75,000 
acre-feet of usable storage for flood control and water conservation 
utilization. Project controls runoff from a 
drainage area of 223 square miles. In addition to flood control, 
reservoir is operated to provide irrigation, fish and 
wildlife enhancement, water quality control, and recreation 
benefits. Project is complete and operating. 
Local cooperation. Authorizing act requires that 
State of Oregon insure maintenance of stream flow released 
for fishery. In addition, costs allocated to irrigation 
would have to be repaid in a manner and to an extent consistent 
with reclamation laws and policies. Oregon Department 
of Fish and Wildlife made filing May 31, 1962 with 
State Engineer for water rights for use of stored water 
and natural flows for fish habitat improvement in 
amounts and at times specified in project authorization. 
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has made a feasibility 
study of Applegate Irrigation Division. The results of the 
study indicate that at present there does not appear to 
be a feasible Federal irrigation project for the Applegate 
River valley. Local interests have furnished all local 
cooperation specified by the 1970 Flood Control Act. The 
assurances were approved by the Secretary of the Army 
on May 8, 1975. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: 
Miscellaneous contracts for minor roadway ditch cleanup 
and roadway repair begun in FY 1984 are now complete. 
Maintenance: Normal operation and maintenance was 
performed. Freshets regulated by Applegate Lake on Applegate 
River and Rogue River are shown in Table 37-M.

October 1952 except for construction of additional recreation 
facilities that were funded under the Code 710 program. 
Future recreation facility construction will be accomplished 
in accordance with the cost-sharing contract 
with Lane County, OR. Dam and reservoir have been in 
continuous operation since November 1949. 
Local cooperation. Lane County Parks is participating 
in a multiple project cost-sharing (50 percent) 
contract for many of the existing parks at four projects; 
therefore, future recreation development at Dorena Lake 
will require 50 percent contribution by Lane County and 
is subject to funding availability by the government and 
Lane County. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Normal 
operation and maintenance work performed. Freshets 
regulated by Dorena Lake project on Row and Coast Fork

Elk Creek, a tributary of Rogue River, about 26.5 miles 
northerly from Medford, OR. 
Existing project. Design work continues to provide for 
a 249-foot high roller compacted concrete gravity dam, 
2,600 feet long at the crest, with a gate controlled concrete 
chute spillway, regulating outlet conduits, power 
penstock and multiple use intake tower attached to the 
upstream face of the dam. Reservoir 6.2 miles long will 
provide 95,000 acre-feet of usable storage for flood control 
and water conservation utilization. Project will control 
runoff from a drainage area of 135 square miles. 
Reservoir will be operated to provide future municipal and 
industrial water supply, irrigation, fish and wildlife 
enhancement, water quality control, and recreation 
benefits. 
Construction of the project was initiated in February 
1971. Work completed to date includes construction of a 
bypass road to route traffic away from the damsite and 
stockpiling of gravels to be used in the main dam and 
relocated roads. All lands for the project have been acquired 
with the exception of the cleaning of water rights 
for a seemingly abandoned irrigation canal which 
originates within the project boundaries. Final environmental 
statement was filed with Council of Environmental 
Quality June 15, 1972 and Supplement No. 
1 addressing water quality and social/demographic information 
was filed with EPA on December 24, 1980. 
Estimated Federal cost of project is $117,000,000. 
Local cooperation. Authorizing act requires that 
State of Oregon take action prior to construction to insure 
maintenance in stream of flow to be released for 
fishery. In addition, costs allocated to irrigation would 
have to be repaid in a manner and to an extent consistent 
with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation laws and 
policies. On February 24, 1966, State of Oregon Water 
Resources Board filed for withdrawal rights of 25 cfs to 
maintain minimum flow for fish.

Reservoir protects Long ITom River Valley and is operated 
as a unit of coordinated reservoir system to protect 
Willamette River Valley generally and to increase low 
water-flows for navigation and other purposes. Dam was 
originally constructed in 1941 to height of 47 feet. Provision 
of additional storage for flood control was obtained 
in 1965 by raising embankments 2 feet to 49 feet above.- 
lowest point of the general foundation. 
Construction of project initiated April 1940 was completed 
August 1951, except for provision of additional 
storage for flood control authorized in 1962 and completed 
April 1965, and construction of additional recreation 
facilities funded through the Code 710 program. Dam and 
reservoir have been in continuous operation since 
December 1941. Development of future recreation 
facilities will be in accordance with the cost-sharing contract

38. HUNTINGTON AVENUE, CASTLE ROCK, WA 
Location. On the left bank of the Cowlitz River at 
River Mile 15.9 in Castle Rock, Cowlitz County, WA. 
Existing project. Work was authorized under the 
special continuing authority contained in Section 14 of 
the 1946 Flood Control Act. This authority allows construction 
of emergency bank protection to prevent flood 
damages to public works. Riprap erosion protection along 
550 linear feet of bankline was constructed to protect Huntington 
Avenue, a road that passes through the City of 
Castle Rock and provides connection at two locations with 
Interstate Highway 5. 
Local cooperation. The project sponsor, City of Castle 
Rock, provided construction easements and rights-ofway 
and made necessary utility relocations. The City also 
agreed to hold the United States free from damages and 
maintain and operate the completed bank protection 
works. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Fiscal requirements 
were finalized. 
39. FLOOD CONTROL WORK UNDER SPECIAL 
AUTHORIZATION 
Flood control activities pursuant to Section 205, 
Public Law 858, 80th Cong., as amended 
(preauthorization). 
See Table 37-L. 
Emergency bank protection (Section 14 of 1946 
Flood Control Act, Public Law 526, 79th Cong.). 
Fiscal year costs for preauthorization studies were: 
Pudding River, Anderson Road, OR, $2,314. 
Emergency flood control activities-repair, flood 
fighting and rescue work (Public Law 99, 84th Congress 
and antecedent legislation). 
Federal costs for fiscal year were: $237,321, disaster 
preparedness; $67,829, emergency operations; $60,549, 
rehabilitation; $12,262,352, advance measures. Contributed 
funds for levee raising were $35,918. 
Mt. St. Helens Emergency Measures. The May 18, 
1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens dramatically altered the 
hydraulic and hydrologic regimes of the Cowlitz and Toutle 
River valleys. Volcanic debris substantially reduced the 
river's hydraulic capacity to the point where major 
flooding could be expected with even normal runoff. 
A major recovery program for the Cowlitz and Toutle 
Rivers funded under advance measures was initiated a 
short time after the eruption and was essentially completed 
during FY 1982. 
Total cost of Mt. St. Helens emergency measures, from 
initiation through FY 1985, with some contract modifications 
remaining to be negotiated, is $275,627,000. The 
authorized navigation channel on the Cowlitz between 
River Mile 0 and 4.2 remains unusable due to continued 
sedimentation. 
Spirit Lake, WA. Portland District was directed on 
August 24, 1982 to respond to the Presidential declaration 
of a State of Emergency for the Spirit Lake area. This 
declaration was precipitated by the release of a U.S. Forest 
Service Spirit Lake Interagency Task Force report assessing 
the flood hazard posed by that body of water, which 
has been without a natural outlet since the May 18, 1980 
eruption of Mt. St. Helens. The report concluded that 
Spirit Lake would fill to an extremely dangerous level by 
as early as Spring 1983 and also mentioned concern over 
the structural stability of the debris plug holding back 
the lake due to the development of an extensive system 
of deep erosion gullies on its surface, some as deep as 40 
feet. 
iTo contain the threat of a possible devastating flood 
caused by a failure of the Spirit Lake debris plug, and in 
response to a tasking from the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency (FEMA), the Portland District initiated 
a program aimed at meeting two objectives: (a) 
undertake interim measures to assure that the lake is not 
allowed to continue rising unchecked so that the threat 
of a possible flood during 1983 is averted, and, (b) perform 
field investigations and preliminary design work 
necessary to make a recommendation to FEMA for a permanent 
solution to the threat of flooding from Spirit Lake. 
An interim solution was implemented to maintain the 
lake at a safe level through pumping water from the lake 
from October to July each year. 
A comprehensive plan for long-term flood control and 
navigation maintenance, as a result of the Mt. St. Helens 
eruption, was completed in 1983. This document included 
37-15

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
alternative methods of eliminating the threat of 
catastrophic flooding due to the unstable avalanche debris 
dam at Spirit Lake. 
A decision document selecting the final plan for responding 
to this threat was completed in February 1984. This 
plan called for the construction of an 8,500-foot-long tunnel 
through Harry's Ridge to permanently drain Spirit 
Lake into South Coldwater Creek. 
Until the tunnel was completed in April 1985, the lake 
elevation was maintained through pumping from bargemounted 
pumping plant at Spirit Lake. Pumping was 
discontinued on April 1, 1985. A contract was initiated 
in August 1985 to restore the pumping area to a natural 
condition. The total cost for pumping and pump site 
restoration through FY 85 is $11,625,000. 
Construction of the tunnel began in June 1984. The 
tunnel was completed in April 1985, and the four-month 
long drawdown of Spirit Lake begain in May 1985. The 
cost for tunnel construction through FY 85 is $13,660,000. 
40. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD CONTROL 
PROJECTS 
Funds appropriated for inspection of completed local 
flood protection works are used to determine maintenance 
condition of completed works and to ascertain whether 
those works are being properly maintained by local interests. 
A total of 60 leveed areas and 268 bank protection 
works were inspected at various locations along both 
banks of Lower Columbia River below Bonneville Dam, 
along Oregon Coast, in eastern Oregon, in southern 
Oregon and in Willamette River Basin. Of this total, 15 
leveed areas in Oregon and 45 leveed areas in Washington 
were inspected during FY 1984. A representative of sponsoring 
districts accompanied the Portland District 
representatives performing the levee inspections. Aerial 
inspection of revetments in Willamette River Basin was 
supplemented by an onsite inspection at locations requiring 
maintenance. Deficiencies in maintenance and need 
for repairs were discussed with sponsoring districts' 
representatives and a report was made to each sponsor 
with recommendations for improving maintenance. The 
program to improve maintenance of completed Federal 
projects initiated by House Appropriations Committee on 
Civil Functions was continued. Periodic contact was maintained 
with uncooperative areas reported in FY 1983 to 
ascertain any change in attitude and to provide technical 
assistance, if requested. Of the 81 sponsors for some 125 
local flood protection projects inspected in Portland 
District, 8 were reported deficient in maintenance. Fiscal 
year costs were $101,104 and total costs to September 30, 
1985 were $1,150,977. 
41. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED PI99 WORKS 
Annual inspections are made of levees, flood control 
structures, and communities that have received previous 
assistance under the various features of Public Law 84-99 
(flood fights, levee rehabilitation, advance measures). Inspections 
involve determining physical condition of levees 
and other structures, riprap displacement and vegetation 
control. Inspections also serve a valuable disaster 
preparedness function in terms of explaining to local interests 
their preparedness responsibilities and criteria for 
qualifying for future emergency assistance under PL 
84-99. Local sponsors are advised of results of inspections. 
Approximately 60 locations throughout the Portland 
District were inspected under this feature during FY 
1985, at a cost of $83,408. 
42. JOHN DAY RIVER (WEST), OR 
Location. Left bank of John Day River Road location, 
on the left bank of John Day River (West) mile 2.3, approximately 
4 miles west of Astoria, OR. Work would be

Sandy River, OR, and mouth of Columbia River. 
Existing project. Provides for construction of 224,000 
linear feet of bank protection works at 96 locations along 
Lower Columbia River below River Mile 125 and along 
principal tributaries in this reach, to protect existing improvements 
such as levees and developed industrial lands 
from further erosion. Existing project is a unit of general 
comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, and 
other purposes in Columbia River Basin. Construction of 
project began in July 1961 and is 84 percent complete. A 
total of 186,684 linear feet of bank protection work at 81 
locations has been completed. Estimated Federal cost is 
$25,400,000. 
Local cooperation. Flood Control Act of 1950 provides 
local interests furnish lands and rights-of-way; make 
necessary highway, highway bridge, and utility alterations; 
hold the United States free from damages; and 
maintain and operate works after completion. Estimated 
costs for all requirements of local cooperation are 
$267,000. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Gillnet, 
Rusty Bumper, Waris, and Elander locations were completed. 
Construction of Tansy Railroad location near the 
cities of Hammond and Warrenton, OR was initiated. This 
will provide 3840 linear feet of protection and is scheduled 
to be completed by March 1986. 
45. MCDONALD DIKE ROAD, NEHALEM RIVER, 
OR 
Location. On the right bank of the Nehalem River at 
River Mile 3.5, along McDonald County Road, in 
Tillamook County, OR. 
Existing project. Work was authorized under the 
special continuing authority contained in Section 14 of 
the 1946 Flood Control Act. This authority allows construction 
of emergency bank protection to prevent flood 
damages to public works. Riprap erosion protection consisting 
of 780 cubic yards of graded quarry rock along 85 
linear feet of bankline was constructed to protect 
McDonald County Road, a county roadway that provides 
a local cross road connection between State Highway 53 
and North Fork Road. 
Local cooperation. The project sponsor, Tillamook 
County, provided construction easements and rights-ofway 
and made necessary utility relocations. The County 
also agreed to hold the United States free from damages 
and maintain and operate the completed bank protection 
works. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Fiscal requirements 
were finalized. 
46. MOUNT ST. HELENS & VICINITY, WA 
Location. Along the Cowlitz and Toutle Rivers from 
Spirit Lake at the base of Mt. St. Helens to the confluence 
of the Cowlitz with the Columbia River (River Mile 68) 
approximately 55 miles downstream from Portland, OR. 
Existing project. The May 18, 1980 eruption of Mt. 
St. Helens dramatically altered the hydraulic and 
hydrologic regimes of the Cowlitz and Toutle River valley. 
Mudflows triggered by the eruption carried large volumes 
of sediment from the debris avalanche into these river 
valleys, reducing the hydraulic capacity to the point where 
major flooding could be expected with even normal runoff. 
Storm runoff and surface dredging continue to deliver 
sediment from the debris avalanche into the rivers. Funds 
allocated under Public Law 84-99 were used for major 
recovery work on the Cowlitz and Toutle rivers. 
In late FY 1983, interim flood control measures were 
implemented under the authority of Public Law 98-63 to 
assure 100-year flood protection to developed areas along 
the Cowlitz River. Measures implemented are primarily 
dredging on the Cowlitz and Toutle Rivers and a monitoring 
program. 
Local cooperation. Local sponsors will be requested 
to obtain any additional lands easements and rights-ofway. 
The State of Washington has agreed to act as the 
local sponsor. State funds have been appropriated for acquisition 
of lands and related expenses for Mt. St. Helens 
recovery operations. The State of Washington has spent 
over $2,500,000 to procure disposal sites for dredged 
material. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: From 
December 1984 through April 1985, 1.9 million cubic 
yards of sediment were removed at the LT-1 site on the 
'lbutle River. The contract was resumed in July 1985, after 
37-17

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
the fish passage season, to remove a total of 2.6 million 
cubic yards for the contract. Cost for LT-1 dredging in FY 
85 was $4,106,400. 
A contract to remove 4.3 million cubic yards of sediment 
from the LT-3 site on the Toutle River was awarded 
in late September 1985. 
47. SALMON CREEK, NEAR VANCOUVER, WA 
Location. On the left bank of Salmon Creek at River 
Mile 6.0 in Clark County, WA. 
Existing Project. Work was authorized under the 
special continuing authority contained in Section 14 of 
the 1946 Flood Control Act. This authority allows construction 
of emergency bank protection to prevent flood 
damages to public works. Protection consists of a 23-foothigh 
binwall, 379 feet in length, backfilled with granular 
material. Riprap is to be placed at the upstream and 
downstream ends of the binwalls. This work protects N.E. 
117th Avenue which serves as primary access to State 
Highway 99 and Salmon Greenway Park. 
Local cooperation. The project sponsor, Clark County, 
provided construction easements and rights-of-way and 
made necessary utility relocations. The County also 
agreed to hold the United States free from damages to 
maintain and operate the completed bank protection 
works, and contributed $185,000 towards construction. In 
addition, the County will lower the grade of 117th Avenue 
an average of six feet over a length of approximately 700 
feet and will install a corrosion protection system for the

48. SCHEDULING FLOOD CONTROL RESERVOIR 
OPERATIONS 
Corps of Engineers monitored flood control operations 
at four Bureau of Reclamation projects (Prineville, Ochoco, 
Emigrant, and Scoggins) and (Mossyrock) a municipal 
power project operated by Tacoma City Light. The Bureau 
of Reclamation projects were partially constructed with 
flood control funds, thereby subjecting project operation 
to monitoring by the Corps of Engineers under Section 
7, Flood Control Act of 1944. Monitoring of Mossyrock 
flood control operation is assigned to the Corps by the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as the Mossyrock 
license calls for specific flood control regulation. Under 
licensing agreement, the Tacoma City Light utility is required 
to provide 360,000 acre-feet of flood storage by 
December of each year. The Bureau of Reclamation sponsored 
projects were operated satisfactorily during FY 1985 
for flood control. At Mossyrock there was one high water 
period in June 1985. During this period reservoir regulation 
stored approximately 190,000 acre-feet at Mossyrock. 
Peak discharges at Castle Rock were well below the 
regulation goal of 70,000 cubic feet per second during the 
flood season. Unregulated flows would have also been 
below the 70,000 cubic feet per second goal. The 
spring snowmelt runoff was much above normal with very 
little precipitation during October through December 
period. Preparation of Reservoir Regulation Manuals for 
Scoggins and Mossyrock Projects is scheduled. Total cost 
of monitoring the five projects during FY 1985 was $5,079. 
49. STATE HIGHWAY 101 AND 401, COLUMBIA 
RIVER, WA 
Location. On the right bank of the Columbia River at 
river Mile 15.0, along Washington State Route 401 in 
Pacific County, WA. 
Existing Project. Work was authorized under the 
special continuing authority contained in Section 14 of 
the 1946 Flood Control Act. This authority allows construction 
of emergency bank protection to prevent flood 
damages to public works. Riprap erosion protection along 
1,450 linear feet of bankline was constructed to protect 
Washington State Route 401, a principal traffic route for 
southwestern Washington, including travel along the 
Washington and Oregon coasts. 
Local cooperation. The project sponsor, the 
Washington State Department of Transportation, provided 
construction easements and rights-of.way and made 
necessary utility relocations. The State also agreed to hold 
the United States free from damages and maintain and 
operate the completed bank protection works. In addition, 
the State contributed $254,642 for construction. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Work was 
completed and fiscal requirement were finalized. 
50. TUALATIN, OR 
Location. Tualatin River channel between river mile 
7.6 and 8.8 above the confluence with the Willamette 
River. Project is located in the city of Tualatin. 
Existing project. Provides channel improvements to 
reduce potential flood damage in the river basin. Major 
flood damage is concentrated in the city of Tualatin. 
Reduction of potential flood damage results from removal 
of channel constructions in the project area by increasing 
channel capacity. The city's core area lies in a high 
water secondary channel which floods when the river surfaces 
rises above 120 feet NGVD (National Geodetic Vertical 
Datum). The project will improve channel capacity 
and exceeding 120 feet NGVD would then average once 
in 13 years through the project area. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. City of 
Tualatin is project sponsor. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Contract 
claims were settled and final fiscal requirement 
completed.

54. WILLAMETTE RIVER BASIN, OR 
Location. Willamette River, formed by Coast and Middle 
Forks which join a few miles above Eugene, OR, flows 
north 189 miles, and enters Columbia River 101.5 miles 
above its mouth. The basin has an area of 11,200 square 
miles and lies between Cascade Range on the east and 
Coast Range on the west. Major tributaries of Willamette 
River rise in Cascade Mountains and consist of Coast and 
Middle Forks and McKenzie, Calapooia, Santiam, Molalla, 
and Clackamas Rivers. Important tributaries that head 
in the Coast Range are Luckiamute, Yamhill, and 
Tualatin Rivers. Minor tributaries, all of which enter the 
main stream from the west, are Long Tom River, Marys 
River, and Rickreall Creek. 
Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1938 approved 
general comprehensive plan for flood control, navigation, 
and other purposes in Willamette River Basin and 
authorized funds for initiation and partial accomplishment 
of plan recommended for initial development: the 
reservoirs and related works to be selected by Chief of 
Engineers. Subsequent Flood Control Acts, 1941 through 
1974, authorized additional flood control and other works 
and increased monetary authority. 
Following projects were completed as authorized and 
are in continuous operation: Fern Ridge Lake, August 
1951; Cottage Grove Lake, April 1952; Dorena Lake, October 
1952; Detroit Lake, December 1960; Lookout Point 
Lake, June 1961; Hills Creek Lake, June 1963; Cougar 
Lake, March 1964; Fall Creek Lake, November 1965; 
Green Peter-Foster Lakes; June-December 1967 respectively; 
and Blue River Lake, October 1968. Under the 
authorization for construction of recreation facilities at 
completed projects, work has been accomplished at Fern 
Ridge, Cottage Grove, Dorena, Lookout Point, and Fall 
Creek Lakes. Under the memoranda of agreements with 
the U.S. Forest Service, recreation facilities also have been 
constructed at Detroit, Lookout Point, Cougar, Blue River, 
and Hills Creek Lakes. Recreational facilities were constructed 
at Green Peter-Foster Lakes with initial construction 
funds. Details of operation, construction, and financial 
status of projects are in individual reports. 
During low-water season, July-September, supplemental 
water releases are made from Willamette River Basin 
Reservoirs. Uses which benefit from increased 
downstream flows include irrigation, navigation, power, 
fisheries, pollution abatement, and recreation. Although 
optimum regulation cannot be provided for every purpose, 
water released from reservoirs during the low-water 
season for a particular purpose will usually provide 
benefits to other uses as well. Basic policy is to provide 
most beneficial overall regulation, consistent with 
established water-use priorities. (See Table 37-0 on 
Willamette River Basin comprehensive plan.) 
Local cooperation. Section 2, Flood Control Act of 
June 28, 1938 applies. Local cooperation for other projects 
is in individual reports for those projects.

Including Power 
57. BONNEVILLE LOCK AND DAM-LAKE 
BONNEVILLE, OR AND WA 
Location. Project is on Columbia River, 40 miles east 
of Portland, OR, about 146 miles above mouth of river. For 
description of Columbia River see Section 4. 
Existing project. A dam, powerplant, and lock for 
power and navigation. Spillway dam extends across main 
channel from Washington shore to Bradford Island, which 
divides the river at this point. Overflow crest at 24 feet 
above mean sea level is surmounted by 18 vertical-lift 
steel gates and 10 remote control main dam hoists placed 
between piers which extend to elevation 99 feet where 
a service roadway permits operation of two 350-ton gantry 
cranes for regulating gates. Powerhouse No. 1 extending 
across Bradford Slough to the Oregon shore has an 
installation of 10 units, consisting of two units of 43,200 
kilowatts and eight units of 54,000 kilowatts each, totaling 
518,400 kilowatts. Ordinary and extreme fluctuations 
of river at lower lock gate are about 21 and 47 feet respectively. 
Project includes fish ladders and locks to serve both 
main channel and Bradford Slough channel. Navigation 
lock and powerhouse are founded on andesite, and main 
dam rests upon solidified sedimentary rock of volcanic 
origin. The pool created by dam provides a navigable channel 
15 feet deep between Bonneville and The Dalles Dams, 
a distance of 47 river miles. Principal data concerning 
navigation lock spillway dam, and powerplant are set 
forth in Table 37-P. 
Dam, navigation lock, 10-unit power generating installation, 
fishways, and attendant buildings and grounds 
cost $83,239,395, of which $6,072,480 is for navigation 
facilities, $39,350,824 for power facilities and $37,816,091 
for joint facilities, consisting of dam, fishways, buildings 
and grounds, and headwall section of power units 0 to 6, 
cost of which $2,106,000 is allocated to dam and lake 
facilities. 
In response to flow regulations and peakings from 
upstream plants operating under conditions of Canadian 
storage and Pacific Northwest - Southwest Intertie, two 
modifications were undertaken at the Bonneville project. 
The modification for peaking project was undertaken to 
minimize adverse environmental effects under rapidly 
changing flow conditions from upstream dams. The project 
was completed in 1978 at a cost of $27,195,000. The 
second modification provides for increased power installation 
by building a second powerhouse located on the 
Washington shore adjacent to the end of the existing 
spillway. The new powerhouse contains eight units of 
66,500 kilowatts each and two fish turbine generator units 
of 13,100 kilowatts each for a combined capacity of 
558,200 kilowatts, bringing the entire Bonneville capacity 
to 1,076.6 megawatts. Additional fish facilities consist of 
the powerhouse collection system, second fish ladder on 
the Washington shore, transportation channel connecting 
existing Washington shore fish ladder with new exit control 
section, and fingerling bypass facilities which include 
fish screens in both the powerhouses. To provide for the 
37-20

PORTLAND, OREGON DISTRICT 
anticipated increased visitor use, onsite visitor facilities 
are included. Under authority of the Bonneville Project 
Act (August 20, 1937), a letter from Bonneville Power Administration 
to North Pacific Division dated January 21, 
1965, requested construction of a second powerhouse. 
Construction of project started October 1933, was completed 
February 1953. Modification of powerhouse control 
equipment started March 1957, was completed September 
1958. First two power units were placed in operation during 
fiscal year 1938. Powerhouse with complete installation 
of 10 units, was in operation December 1943. 
Construction of modification for peaking work commenced 
in September 1970 and was completed in September 
1978. 
Construction of second powerhouse is near completion. 
Final environmental impact statement was filed with 
Council on Environmental Quality in April 1972. In 
response to increasing visitation which now exceeds 
800,000 a year at the dam site itself and 1,500,000 projectwide, 
a visitor center with windows into the fish ladders, 
a 60-seat theatre, exhibits and displays was completed in 
1975. Contracts for relocation of the highway, railroad and 
town of North Bonneville are 99 percent complete. Construction 
of the main powerhouse and supply contracts 
for associated powerhouse equipment are 99 percent complete 
and Units 11 through 18 were on-line by October, 
1982. The visitor facility for the new powerhouse (which 
does not require cost-sharing) is an integral part of that 
structure. Estimated cost for construction of second 
powerhouse is $646,000,000. 
Construction of future recreational facilities is contingent 
upon a cost-sharing contract with a non-Federal 
sponsor. Skamania County, WA has indicated an interest 
in cost-sharing at Home Valley upstream from Bonneville 
Lock and Dam and a cost-sharing contract is presently 
being negotiated. 
Through September 1985 power generation totaled 
185.2 billion kilowatt-hours. Of the gross income from sale 
of this power by Bonneville Power Administration, 
$225,399,927 was reimbursed to the U.S. Treasury to 
recover Corps of Engineers project investment and 
operating costs. 
Local cooperation. None required, except for non- 
Federal cost-sharing for development of recreational 
facilities. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Construction 
continued on restoration of areas disturbed by 
powerhouse construction. Final stages of the juvenile 
bypass system and monitoring facilities were under construction. 
Correction of deficiencies in fish guidance efficiency 
at the Second Powerhouse will reduce fingerling 
mortality incurred during annual downstream migration. 
Maintenance: The modernization program continued 
to be implemented. Normal operation and maintenance 
was performed during period. During the fiscal year 
5,434,005,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical power energy 
were generated, of which 5,410,257,000 kilowatt-hours 
were delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the 
marketing agency. Traffic through the navigation lock 
consisting of rafted logs, petroleum products, grains, and 
miscellaneous cargo amounted to 9,281,775 tons during 
calendar year 1984.

(but unconstructed) is a reregulating dam, Strube Lake, 
below Cougar Lake, which would permit Cougar to 
operate as a peaking powerplant. The Strube dam would 
contain two units totalling 4,600 kilowatts. 
Construction of project initiated June 1956 is complete, 
excluding Strube Lake and Cougar Additional Unit for 
which planning is essentially complete. Also, plans and 
specifications for the first construction contract (relocations) 
have been completed. Generating units 1 and 2 were 
placed in commercial operation March 23 and February 
4, 1964, respectively. Physical in-service date for flood control 
was November 29, 1963. Through September 1985 
power generation totaled 2.9 billion kilowatt-hours. Of the 
gross income from sale of this power by Bonneville Power 
Administration, $14,521,461 was reimbursed to the U.S. 
Treasury to recover Corps of Engineers project investment 
and operating costs. Estimated Federal cost of Strube 
Lake and Cougar Additional Unit is $107,000,000. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Continuation 
of negotiations for the innovative financing of Strube 
Lake and Couger Additional Unit.

Creek Lake flood control system, will effectively control 
floods on Middle Fork and provide maximum efficient 
generation of hydroelectric power. Recreation facilities are 
provided by the U.S. Forest Service. 
Construction of project, initiated May 1956, was completed 
June 1963. The project was placed in service for 
useful flood control in November 1961. On May 2, 1962, 
the two power units were placed on-line. Through 
September 1985 power generation totaled 3.8 billion 
kilowatt-hours. Of the gross income from sale of this power 
by Bonneville Power Administration, $15,238,213 was 
reimbursed to the U.S. Treasury to recover Corps of 
Engineers project investment and operating costs. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Ordinary 
operation and maintenance continued. During 
fiscal year 162,614,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical power 
were generated, of which 162,099,000 kilowatt-hours were 
delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the 
marketing agency. Freshets regulated by Hills Creek Lake 
on Middle Fork Willamette River are shown in Table 
37-M.

miles above mouth of Columbia River. 
Existing project. A dam, powerplant, navigation lock, 
fish ladders, and appurtenant facilities with a slack-water 
lake about 75 miles long extending to McNary Lock and 
Dam. Included is relocation of railroads, highways, 
utilities, and communities affected by the impoundment. 
The project as originally authorized would have provided 
2,000,000 acre-feet of flood control storage. As modified, 
the project provides 500,000 acre-feet of flood control 
storage between elevations 257 and 268. The structure is 
5,900 feet in length and stands about 161 feet above 
streambed. Powerhouse has space for 20 generating units 
of 135,000 kilowatts each; 16 units have been installed for 
a present capacity of 2,160,000 kilowatts. Principal project 
data are set forth in Table 37-P. 
A detailed description of project as authorized and 
modified is on pages 1992 and 1993 of Annual Report for 
1962 under the Walla Walla District. 
Construction began July 1958 and the project was opened 
to navigation April 1968. The main dam contract is 
complete. Lock rehabilitation work begun in FY 1980 is 
essentially complete. Entire project is estimated to be 99 
percent complete. Through September 1985 power generation 
totaled 180.6 billion kilowatt-hours. Of the gross income 
from sale of this power by Bonneville Power Administration, 
$213,144,883 was reimbursed to the U.S. 
Treasury to recover Corps of Engineers project investment 
and operating costs. Estimated Federal cost of new work 
is $511,333,000, consisting of $511,000,000 Corps of 
Engineers and $333,000 for Coast Guard navigation aids. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Contracts 
were awarded for the second of two phases of construction 
to complete work on a juvenile by-pass system in 
September 1985. The contract for the first phase of construction 
will be physically completed in October 1985. 
The by-pass facility will consist of a collection system of 
submersible traveling screens, a conduit mined above the 
intakes to each turbine-generator unit and across the 
length of the powerhouse, a conduit extending from the 
powerhouse to an outfall structure downstream, and an 
intake gantry crane to handle fish facilities equipment. 
Maintenance: Normal operation and maintenance continued. 
During fiscal year 10,227,860,000 kilowatt-hours 
of electrical power were generated by the 16 generating 
units of which 10,209,816,000 kilowatt-hours were 
delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the 
marketing agency. Traffic through the navigation lock, 
consisting of petroleum products, grains, and 
miscellaneous cargo, amounted to 7,958,217 tons during 
calendar year 1984. 
Rehabilitation: Refurbishment of two generator windings 
and rebuilding (to strengthen) two turbines were completed. 
A multi-unit generator refurbishment contract 
awarded will enable completion of 75% of all turbine 
generator work included in the rehab program. The contract 
for upgrading the powerhouse control system was 
awarded, which when complete should increase the 
reliability and ease of operation of the powerhouse.

at full-pool level. Reservoir controls runoff of tributary 
drainage area of 991 square miles. Spillway, 274 feet long, 
is a gate-controlled overflow type, forming right abutment. 
Outlet works consisting of slide-gate-controlled conduits 
pass through spillway section. Powerhouse has three main 
generating units with a capacity of 120,000 kilowatts. 
Reregulating dam has a maximum height of 107 feet 
above lowest point of the general foundation and is 2,765 
feet long at crest, forming a full pool of 27,500 acre-feet 
extending upstream to main dam and providing pondage 
to regulate Lookout Point powerhouse water releases to 
a uniform discharge. Spillway consists of a gate-controlled 
overflow section 509 feet long forming right abutment. 
Flow regulation is accomplished by use of spillway 
gates and releases through powerhouse, which contains 
one 15,000-kilowatt unit. Lookout Point and Dexter Lakes 
are operated as a single unit of a coordinated system of 
reservoirs to protect Willamette River Valley against 
floods, to provide needed hydroelectric power, and to increase 
low water flows for navigation, irrigation, and other 
purposes. Existing project authorized as a unit of comprehensive 
plan for flood control and other purposes in 
Willamette River Basin. 
Construction of project initiated May 1947 was completed 
June 1961, except for construction of additional 
recreation facilities funded through the Code 710 program. 
Future recreation facilities will be provided in accordance 
with the cost-sharing contract with Lane County 
and will require a 50 percent contribution by Lane 
County and is subject to funding availability by the 
Government and the County. At Lookout Point 
powerhouse, generating units 1, 2 and 3 were placed in 
commercial operation December 1954, February 1955, 
and April 1955, respectively. At Dexter powerhouse the 
single unit was placed on-line May 1955. Use of Dexter 
Lake for reregulating fluctuating flows from Lookout 
Point units was effected in December 1954. Through 
September 1984 power generation totaled 12.7 billion 
kilowatt-hours. Of the gross income from sale of this power 
by Bonneville Power Administration, $53,312,601 was 
reimbursed to the U.S. Treasury to recover Corps of 
Engineers project investment and operating costs.

regulation for releases in interest of fishery enhancement 
is also on right bank. Reservoir 10 miles long provides 
315,000 acre-feet of usable storage. Project provides control 
of runoff of drainage area of 674 square miles. In addition 
to hydroelectric power generation, project provides 
flood control, irrigation, future municipal and industrial 
(M&I) water supply, fish and wildlife enhancement, water 
quality control and recreation benefits. 
Construction of project initiated July 1967 is complete. 
Generating units 1 and 2 were placed in commercial 
operation July 6 and July 13, 1977, respectively. Physical 
in-service date for flood control was February 18, 1977. 
Final environmental statement was filed with Council on 
Environmental Quality in June 1972. Through September 
1985 power generation totaled 2.5 billion kilowatt-hours. 
Of the gross income from sale of this power by Bonneville 
Power Administration, $11,804,364 was reimbursed to the 
U.S. Treasury to recover Corps of Engineers project investment 
and operating costs. 
Local cooperation. Authorizing act required that 
local agencies furnish assurances prior to construction 
that demands will be made for future use of water supply 
storage within a period that will permit repayment of 
costs, including interest, allocated to water supply within 
life of the project; that State of Oregon take action, prior 
to construction to insure maintenance in stream of flows 
to be released for fishery; in addition, costs allocated to 
irrigation would have to be repaid in manner and to an 
extent consistent with reclamation laws and policies; and 
costs allocated to power will be repaid on a system basis 
by revenue from sales of power in Pacific Northwest 
Federal system by Bonneville Power Administration. A 
survey in September, 1980 of M&I water supply needs 
showed nine communities with water supply needs. A contract 
for M&I supply has been completed with one of the 
communities. Assurances for municipal and industrial 
water supply were obtained from six communities in 
Rogue River Valley. On February 26, 1966 Oregon State 
Department of Fish and Wildlife agreed to operate Rogue 
River hatchery for mitigation and enhancement of fish. 
The hatchery became operational in 1972. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: A contract 
for minor roadway repair was completed. 
Maintenance: During fiscal year 257,708,000 kilowatthours 
of electrical power energy were generated at project 
of which 255,104,000 kilowatt-hours were delivered 
to Bonneville Power Administration, the marketing agency. 
Freshets regulated by Lost Creek Lake on Rogue River 
are shown in Table 37-M.

PORTLAND, OREGON DISTRICT 
65. THE DALLES LOCK AND DAM-LAKE CELILO, 
WA AND OR 
Location. On Columbia River at head of pool behind 
Bonneville Dam, about 192 miles above mouth of river 
and 88 miles east of Portland, OR. 
Existing project. A dam, powerplant, navigation lock, 
and appurtenant facilities. Improvement provides for 
navigation and hydroelectric power generation. Dam is 
designed for a normal pool at elevation 160 feet at mean 
sea level. Normal pool forms a reservoir extending 
upstream about 23 miles providing slackwater to John 
Day Dam site. The Dalles Dam is 8,700 feet long and consists 
of a rock, gravel, and sand river closure section from 
Oregon shore connecting to a nonoverflow section which 
in turn joins powerhouse, then concrete nonoverflow sections 
connecting spillway with powerhouse and spillway 
with navigation lock at right abutment on Washington 
shore. Fish-passing facilities including two ladders and 
a fish lock are provided. Powerhouse was constructed for 
14 units initially and substructure for eight additional 
units, an ultimatetotal of 22 units. Initial installation, 
excluding two 13,500 kilowatt fishwater units, is 
1,092,000 kilowatts. With eight units installed for a 
capacity of 687,800 kilowatts, the 22 unit total is 
1,808,800 kilowatts. Structures are founded on Columbia 
River basalt. Principal data concerning lock, spillway, and 
powerhouse are set forth in Table 37-P. 
Major construction of project initiated February 1952, 
was completed October 1960 when unit No. 14 was placed 
in commercial operation. Initial contract for additional 
units 15-22 was awarded in September 1967. Additional 
8-unit phase was completed when unit 22 was placed in 
commercial operation in November 1973. Construction of 
future recreational facilities is contingent upon a costsharing 
contract with a non-Federal sponsor. Studies for 
adding power generation facilities to the North Shore Fish 
Ladder Auxiliary Water Supply System were initiated in 
October 1979 and completed in December 1980. These 
facilities would provide baseload generation (3.5 
megawatts) and would not impact the present operation 
of the North Fish Ladder. Seufert Visitor Center was completed 
in September 1980. Through September 1985 
power generation totaled 195.1 billion kilowatt-hours. Of 
the gross income from sale of this power by Bonneville 
Power Administration, $238,255,560 was reimbursed to 
the U.S. Treasury to recover Corps of Engineers project 
investment and operating costs. 
Local cooperation. None required except for non- 
Federal cost-sharing for development of Recreation 
Facilities at Completed Projects. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Ordinary 
operation and maintenance continued. During 
fiscal year 8,061,511,000 kilowatt-hours of electrical power 
energy were generated at project of which 8,042,255,000 
kilowatt-hours were delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, 
the marketing agency. Traffic through the 
navigation lock, consisting of petroleum products, grains 
and miscellaneous cargo amounted to 7,986,555 tons during 
calendar year 1984. 
General Investigations 
66. SURVEYS 
Fiscal year costs were $2,926,598 of which $169,645 
was for navigation studies, $1,878,615 for flood damage 
prevention studies, $318,028 for comprehensive studies, 
$350,089 for reviews of authorized projects, $165,559 for 
miscellaneous activities, and $44,662 for coordination 
with other agencies. 
67. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA 
International water studies. The Columbia River 
Treaty between Canada and the United States of America 
relating to cooperative Development of the Water 
Resources of the Columbia River Basin was signed at 
Washington, D.C., on January 17, 1961, and the exchange 
of ratifications took place on September 16, 1964. 
Implementation of the Treaty by the United States and 
Canada entities under the guidance of the Permanent 
Engineering Board has continued. The two permanent 
committees established by the entities, the Operating 
Committee and the Hydrometeorological Committee, continue 
to function. 
Costs for support of both committee activities were 
$18,833 for the fiscal year. 
Flood plain management services. Flood Plain 
Management Services Program comes under Section 206 
of the 1960 Flood Control Act, PL 86-645, as amended. 
Through technical services and planning guidance, the 
program encourages comprehensive flood plain management 
planning at all levels to reduce the potential for 
losses to life and property from floods. Federal and non- 
Federal agencies and the private sector are assisted with 
planning and development information for flood hazard 
areas. This assistance is in the form of local flood plain 
regulations, Federal Insurance Program requirements, 
and Executive Order 11988 guidelines. Such assistance 
may include factual flood information (available or determined) 
and interpretation on flood frequencies, extent of 
flooding, flood-water velocity, duration of flooding and 
floodway limits. 
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers this year is commemorating 
the silver anniversary of its civil works directorate's 
Flood Plain Management Services Program. This 
vital civil works program has provided flood plain 
management assistance to states, counties, cities, individuals 
and federal agencies. Over the past 25 years, 
it has become a key element in the federal, state and local 
partnership to reduce national flood losses. 
Services accomplished during fiscal year: Technical services 
and planning guidance responses furnished totaled 
734. Of this total, 64 were from other Federal agencies; 
248 from non-Federal agencies; and 422 from private sector 
realtors, corporations, lending institutions, engineers, 
architects, and others. Cost for providing these services 
during FY 1985 totaled $152,260. 
Hydrologic studies. Environmental and ecological 
aspects are being considered on all hydrologic studies. Improvements 
in procedures to determine reservoir

Navigation 
1. BELLINGHAM HARBOR, WA 
Location. Part of Bellingham Bay, an arm of Puget 
Sound, at Bellingham, in northwestern Washington. (See 
NOAA Survey Chart 18424.) 
Existing project. Channel 30 feet deep in Whatcom 
Creek Waterway from deep water to head of harbor, 363.2 
feet wide to 750 feet from inner end, thence 18 feet deep 
for inner 750 feet; Squalicum Creek Waterway, including 
dredging an entrance channel 200 feet wide and 26 feet 
deep from deep water in the bay to main pierhead line, 
and maintenance of southerly half and westerly end of 
Squalicum Creek basin to 26 feet deep, provided that no 
dredging can be done within 75 feet of wharves, piers, or 
similar structures; and small-boat basin adjacent to 
Squalicum Creek Waterway by construction and 
maintenance of two sections of rubblemound breakwater 
with combined length of 5,400 feet, including 
maintenance of minimum depths of 12 feet in entrance 
to basin. Plane of reference is mean lower low water. 
Range between mean lower low water and mean higher 
high water is 8.6 feet. Extreme range is about 16 feet. 
Project was completed in February 1961. (For further 
details see Annual Report for 1961. For details relating 
to previous project see page 797 of Annual Report for 
1907.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Requirements 
are described in full on page 38-2 of FY 1980 
Annual Report. 
Terminal facilities. Of the forty wharves and piers 
in Bellingham Harbor, 9 are on Whatcom Creek Waterway; 
3 on Squalicum Creek Waterway; 3 on I&J Street 
Waterway; and 9 on Bellingham Bay. Two wharves on 
Whatcom Creek Waterway serve general cargo terminals. 
One is publicly owned and operated and is suitable for 
use by ocean-going vessels; the other one is privately 
owned and operated. There is one publicly owned terminal 
and small-boat harbor with 11 wharves handling private 
craft and fishing boats. (See Port Series No. 37 - Ports of 
Everett, Bellingham, Port Angeles, and Anacortes, WA, 
revised 1976.) 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance, hired 
labor: Conducted channel condition surveys. 
2. EAST BAY MARINA, OLYMPIA HARBOR, WA 
Location. The city of Olympia, capital of the State of 
Washington, is located at the extreme southern end of 
Puget Sound. East Bay is just north of Olympia. (See 
NOAA Survey Charts 18445 and 18456.) 
Existing project. Construction of a 656-foot long 
general navigation facility which includes a 150-foot wide 
and 13-foot deep entrance channel, two access channels 
12 and 13 feet deep, and a concrete floating breakwater 
for a new 800-boat marina. Dredging of the entrance channel 
and two access channels was completed in July 1982 
and construction of the breakwater was completed in May 
1983. The marina is currently in operation and project 
is physically complete. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Requirements 
are described in full on page 38-3 of FY 1981 
Annual Report. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work, hired 
labor: Completed documentation of project and as-built 
drawings: 
3. EDIZ HOOK, WA 
Location. Ediz Hook and the city of Port Angeles are 
on the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Clallam County, WA, 
about 100 miles northwest of Seattle. (See NOAA Survey 
Chart 18468.) 
Existing project. Provides for about 13,300 lineal feet 
of rock revetment and 3,100 lineal feet of rock blanketing, 
together with initial beach replenishment and annual 
nourishment. Project was completed in October 1978. (For 
further details, see Annual Report for 1979.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. There are 17 docks, wharves, and 
piers in Port Angeles protected by Ediz Hook, of which 
nine are public. Four of the private docks are operated 
by timber mills for transfer of logs, pulp and fuel. There 
are five general cargo/log docks, a ferry dock, three 
moorage docks (including docks for the Coast Guard and 
pilots), a fish unloading dock, and three log dump piers. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance, contract: 
A contract for revetment repair and beach feed was 
completed in August 1985. Total rock placed was 36,580 
tons and displaced rocks were rekeyed. Beach feed 
amounted to 42,798 tons. Total contract cost was 
$970,088. 
4. EVERETT HARBOR AND SNOHOMISH 
RIVER, WA 
Location. On Port Gardner Bay, at northern end of 
Possession Sound, an arm of Puget Sound at Everett, in 
northwestern Washington; and Snohomish River for 6.3 
miles above mouth. (See NOAA Survey Chart 18443.) 
Existing project. Training dike extending from a 
point opposite 23d Street northward 12,550 feet to outlet 
of Snohomish River, with spur dike extending 400 feet 
to pierhead line from north end of main dike; spur dike 
extending 1,410 feet westward from Preston Point; 
removal of a section of training dike north of Snohomish 
River outlet; channel 150 to 425 feet wide and 15 feet deep 
from deep water in Port Gardner Bay to 14th Street dock; 
thence a settling basin 700 feet wide, 1,200 feet long, and 
20 feet deep, thence a channel 150 feet wide and 8 feet 
deep up river to head of Steamboat Slough, a total 
distance of about 6.3 miles; settling basin within upper 
channel reach about 1 mile long with a capacity of 1 
million cubic yards and maintaining East Waterway to 
30 feet deep. The 1968 modification included raising the 
southerly 4,100 feet of existing training dike, extending 
the training dike 1,500 feet farther south, and constructing 
a breakwater along the south and west sides of the 
existing small boat basin. Plane of reference is mean 
lower low water. Range between mean lower low water 
and mean higher high water is 11.1 feet. Extreme tidal

5. FLOATINGBREAKWATERPROTOTYPE TEST 
PROGRAM, WEST POINT, SEATTLE, WA 
Location. The floating breakwater prototype test was 
located at West Point, a point of land located about 6.8 
miles northwest of Elliott Bay in Puget Sound within the 
boundaries of the city of Seattle, WA. The site was well 
suited for the project in that it often experiences waves 
that equal and exceed design waves contemplated at most 
potential floating breakwater sites. The site provided 
quick and easy access for purposes of maintenance and 
monitoring. (See NOAA Survey Chart 18440.) 
Existing project. The project provided for the construction, 
placement, monitoring, and removal of two 
types of floating breakwater at a site with a high occurrence 
of wave attack. The prototype structures built and 
monitored were a concrete box design, 16 feet wide and 
150 feet long, with a depth of 5 feet and a 3.5-foot draft, 
and a pipe-tire mat design, 45 feet wide and 100 feet long. 
Information from the test program will be used on other 
Corps of Engineers projects throughout the nation to 
design and construct more economical and efficient wave 
protection structures. Test program information will also 
be available to other public entities and to the private sector. 
Construction was begun in September 1981 and the 
structures installed in June and July 1982. Estimated 
total cost is $1,800,000, Federal funds, ($1,446,000, Corps 
of Engineers; $354,000, Coastal Engineering Research 
Center). 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work, hired 
labor: A detailed report on the test program was prepared 
by the Seattle District with a data analysis appendix provided 
by the U.S. Army Waterways Experiment 
Station, Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC). 
The draft report was submitted to CERC for final editing. 
After editing, the report will be published as CERC 
Technical Report in early 1986.

Flood Control 
18. DUNGENESS RIVER, SEQUIM, WA 
Location. The project is located in Clallam County on 
the right bank of the Dungeness River, 4.5 miles 
southwest of Sequim, Wa, in Carlsborg Lake Quadrangle 
SW1/4 sec. 1,T. 29 N., R. 4 W. 
Existing project. Protection of the access road (210 
feet), near the intake structure for the water system, consists 
of a riprap blanket 36 inches thick on a 1V to 2H 
slope and a 10-foot-wide, 4-foot-thick weighted riprap toe 
with gravel fill to reconstruct the required 1:2 embankment 
slope. Protection of the waterline and access road 
(150 feet) requires construction of a concrete block wall, 
back filled with quarry spalls. This work is the most effective 
and least costly method of protecting the city of 
Sequim's sole source of domestic water supply, where the 
streambank is threatened by current and floating debris 
impinging directly upon it. Total estimated cost of the

the mouth of the Chehalis River in Grays Harbor County, 
west central Washington. The Chehalis River, about 
125 miles in length, rises in the Willapa Hills in west central 
Washington. 
The proposed plan of improvement would protect most 
of the left bank flood plain at the mouth of the Chehalis 
River in the cities of Aberdeen and Cosmopolis. The improvement 
would include: an earthen levee 22,500 feet 
long roughly following the left bank of the Chehalis River 
from Devonshire Slough to Cosmopolis; 2,200 feet of concrete 
floodwall in two industrial areas; five pumping stations 
and tide gates; and 10 smaller gravity drain culverts 
with flap gates. The levee would protect 1,318 acres of 
the cities from inundation by the standard project flood. 
Accomplishments during the fiscal year included environmental, 
hydrologic and hydraulic, and economic 
studies and Fish and Wildlife coordination. 
Estimated preconstruction planning cost is $1,097,000. 
Fiscal year costs were $322,790. Total costs to date have

WA 
Harbor at Seattle, WA, an authorized project, includes 
East, West and Duwamish Waterways within its city 
limits. Chief anchorage basin is Elliott Bay, an arm of 
Puget Sound. 
The proposed plan of improvement includes: Deepening 
and narrowing East and West Waterways (from 34 
x 750 feet to 39 x 500 feet); deepening and widening 
Duwamish Waterway (from 34 x 200 feet to 39 x 250 feet); 
replacement of the constrictive Burlington Northern 
Railroad Bridge with one having 250 feet horizontal 
clearance; deepening one turning basin to 39 feet; 
deauthorizing an unneeded turning basin; mitigation for 
loss of 4 acres shallow-water and 27 acres deep-water fish 
habitat; creation of 2 acres of shallow-water habitat for 
fish enhancement; and construction of a public boat ramp 
for recreation access.

Grays Harbor, Chehalis and Hoquiam Rivers, WA 
Grays Harbor is a large tidal estuary in southwestern 
Washington. The entrance is 45 miles north of the mouth 
of the Columbia River and 110 miles south of the Strait 
of Juan de Fuca. The estuary lies entirely within Grays 
Harbor County, State of Washington. 
The proposed plan of improvement consists of modifying 
the existing Federal project for Grays Harbor. The 
existing 30-foot channel would be deepened to a depth of 
46 feet through the Outer Bar and widened in this reach 
from the existing 600 feet to a 1,000-foot-wide channel; 
thence, the entrance reach would be widened and deepened 
from the existing designated 350 feet wide by 30 feet 
deep channel to a channel tapering landward from 1,000 
to 600 feet wide and 46 to 38 feet deep; thence, the existing 
channel to Cow Point would be widened and 
deepened from 350 feet wide and 30 feet deep to 400 feet 
wide by 38 feet deep for the South reach and Crossover 
reach and to 350 feet wide by 38 feet deep for the Moon 
Island, Hoquiam, and Cow Point reaches; and thence, the 
Aberdeen and South Aberdeen reaches would be widened 
and deepened from the existing designated 200 feet wide 
by 30 feet deep channels to channels 250 feet wide by 36 
feet deep. Two turning basins located at Aberdeen would 
be constructed and the existing railroad bridge would be 
replaced with a new bridge having horizontal clearance 
of 250 feet. 
During the fiscal year major progress was made on environmental 
and engineering studies. 
Estimated preconstruction planning cost is $3,360,000. 
Fiscal year costs were $1,534,632. Total costs to date have

County, ID. 
8. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED FLOOD 
CONTROL PROJECTS 
Federal law requires local interests to maintain and 
operate completed local protection projects in accordance 
with regulations prescribed by Secretary of Army. Inspections 
were made to determine extent of compliance and 
to advise local interests as necessary of measures required 
to correct deficiencies. A contract to investigate the 
geological and seismological conditions at Ririe Dam, ID 
continued through the fiscal year. See Table 39-I for inspections 
made during fiscal year. 
Fiscal year costs were $234,873. Total costs to 
September 30, 1985 have been $1,451,940. 
9. INSPECTION OF COMPLETED PL-99 WORKS 
Inspections are pursuant to Public Law 84-99 which 
directs the Corps to establish through inspection whether 
non-federal flood control works will continue to provide 
the intended degree of flood protection and to determine 
if the maintenance program is adequate. FY 1985 costs 
for this program were $31,853. 
10. LUCKY PEAK LAKE, ID 
Location. On Boise River in southwestern Idaho about 
10 miles southeast of city of Boise. 
Existing project. A rolled-earthfill dam about 250 feet 
high above streambed and 1,700 feet long at crest, with 
a lake providing a total storage at upper operating lake 
level of 306,000 acre-feet. (For further details see page 
2000 of Annual Report for 1962.) 
Construction of existing project was initiated November 
1949 and completed June 1961. A feasible method of 
achieving better flood control through diversion into New 
York Canal, through Lake Lowell, and into the Snake 
River has been developed but rejected by local interests 
due to the infrequent use of this diversion method. Since 
1961, $103,699,000 in potential flood damages have been 
prevented by the project. Final Environmental Impact 
Statement on the initial project was filed with the Council 
on Environmental Quality on November 29, 1976. A 
revised draft Environmental Impact Statement for the 
modification work was filed with the Council on Environmental 
Quality on September 18, 1978. 
During the detailed investigation of outlet capacity and 
the potential for adding hydropower to the existing project, 
a need for an auxiliary outlet became apparent. Construction 
of an auxiliary outlet was authorized in the 
Water Resource Development Act of 1976 but to date it 
has not been funded. In FY 1978, an "Interim Feasibility 
Report on Modification of Lucky Peak Dam and Lake" 
(power facilities) was submitted to the Board of Engineers 
for Rivers and Harbors and approved. States, agencies, and 
the Chief of Engineers have commented on the report to 
the Secretary of the Army. The report was forwarded to 
the Office of Management and Budget in February 1982. 
No further action has been taken. 
A license to construct and operate power facilities at 
the project was issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Project #2832) to the Boise Project Board of 
Control on June 10, 1980 and modified on October 9, 1980. 
The license required that construction begin within two 
years and be completed within four years of the issuing 
date of the license. A two year extension of the license was 
granted on June 10, 1982 by FERC. Construction of the 
Phase I portion of an auxiliary outlet tunnel was started 
in May 1984 and completed in June 1984. Phase II (the 
final phase) was started in July 1985 and is expected to 
be completed in July 1986. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Normal 
operation for flood control, recreation, and irrigation continued. 
A contract was awarded and work began on 
rehabilitation of the existing outlet structure. Work consists 
of the placement of steel liners on the flip lip section which 
is immediately downstream from the outlet control valves 
and is scheduled for completion in December 1985. 
11. MILL CREEK LAKE, WA 
Location. In and upstream from Walla Walla, WA, on 
Mill Creek, a tributary of Walla Walla River. 
Existing project. Off-stream earthfill storage dam 
about 145 feet high and 3,200 feet long at the crest, two 
concrete-lined outlet channels, an earthfill diversion dam, 
and division structures. 
Authorizing legislation to provide a channel through 
the city of Walla Walla was added to the project in 1941. 
Federal cost of original project was $2,162,155. Adding 
recreation facilities has thus far increased project costs 
by $96,340 to $2,258,495. Not included in that cost is 
$80,000 contributed by local interests toward construction 
of the channel through Walla Walla. (For further details 
see page 2005 of Annual Report for 1962.) 
Construction of dam and appurtenant works was completed 
in 1942. Paving of channel through city of Walla 
Walla was completed in 1948. Park and recreation 
facilities were opened to the public July 1, 1964. Since 
1942, $4,143,000 in potential flood damages have been 
prevented by the combined storage and channel operation. 
Final Environmental Impact Statement was filed with the 
Council on Environmental Quality on December 12, 1975.

OPERATIONS 
Functional regulation of non-Corps projects was accomplished 
under several authorities. Regulations of 
Palisades, Little Wood, and Anderson Ranch Reservoir in 
Idaho, and Bully Creek, Warm Springs, Agency Valley, 
and Mason Reservoirs in Oregon, was accomplished as 
authorized under Section 7, Flood Control Act of 1944, and 
coordinated with the Bureau of Reclamation. 
Flood control operations at Jackson Lake, Arrowrock 
Reservoir, and Lake Lowell were in accordance with formal 
agreements with the Bureau of Reclamation. Regulation 
of American Falls, Owyhee, Magic, Mackay, Cascade, 
and Deadwood Reservoirs, Idaho, for flood control was accomplished 
under informal agreements. Brownlee, Oxbow, 
and Hells Canyon Reservoirs provided flood control regulation 
in accordance with provisions of the Federal Power 
Commission license to Idaho Power Company. 
Fiscal year costs were $201,189. 
14. SEWAGE LAGOONS, VALE, OR

Multiple-Purpose Projects, 
Including Power 
18. DWORSHAK DAM AND RESERVOIR, ID 
Location. Dam is on North Fork Clearwater River 1.9 
miles above its junction with Clearwater River, near 
Orofino, ID, and about 35 miles east of Lewiston, ID. 
Existing project. A straight concrete gravity dam 
about 717 feet in maximum structural height above foundation 
and 3,300 feet long at crest elevation 1613. The 
reservoir has a gross storage capacity of 3,453,000 acrefeet, 
of which 2,000,000 acre-feet are effective for both local 
and regional flood control, and for at-site and downstream 
power generation. In addition, the reservoir, extending 53 
miles into a rugged and relatively inaccessible 
timberland, provides important transportation savings in 
connection with movements of marketable logs. The project 
also provides substantial recreation benefits. 
Powerhouse includes two 90,000 and one 220,000 kilowatt 
generating units, with provisions for three additional 
220,000 kilowatt units for an ultimate installed capacity 
of 1,060,000 kilowatts. Principal project data are set forth 
in Table 39-J. 
Fish passage at Dworshak Dam is not feasible due to 
the height of the dam and a hatchery has been built below 
the dam to assure continuance of anadromous fish runs. 
The reservoir area has been habitat for elk, deer, and other 
wildlife. Project plans include acquisition of land outside 
reservoir limits to mitigate losses of big game winter 
browse areas inundated by reservoir. 
Construction of the project started April 1963 and is 
complete except for recreation facilities and fish and 
wildlife development. It became operational for flood control 
June 1972 and has prevented about $737,000 in potential 
flood damages downstream since then. All project 
lands have been acquired except those required to replace 
the loss of wildlife browse areas from inundation by reservoir. 
Relocations are estimated to be 100 percent complete; 
dam, 100 percent; fish and wildlife facilities, 96 percent; 
powerplant, 100 percent; reservoir clearing, 100 percent; 
and recreation facilities, 90 percent. A reconnaissance 
report justifying the feasibility and cost benefits for the 
addition of a 220,000-kilowatt fourth generating unit was 
completed in FY 1978. Environmental and economic 
studies on additional generating units have been curtailed 
due to public opposition. Units 4, 5, and 6 are now 
classified "inactive". 
Power generating Unit No. 1, 90,000-kilowatt capacity, 
was put in service March 1, 1973; Unit No. 2, also 
90,000-kilowatt capacity, began producing April 6, 1973; 
Unit No. 3, 220,000-kilowatt capacity, went on the line 
April 20, 1973. Power generation through September 1984 
has been 22.47 billion kilowatt hours. 
Eighty mini-recreation sites have been established 
along the reservoir shoreline. Each site includes at least 
a picnic table, U.S. Forest Service-type fireplace, and 
chemical toilet. Some of the sites have several picnic 
tables. 
Dent Acres and Freeman Creek recreation sites are 
open to the public. Facilities consist of a boat launching 
ramp, boat docks, car-trailer parking, comfort stations, and 
fully developed overnight camping at each site. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Wildlife 
habitat browse development continues on project lands to 
provide winter browse for elk and deer. Contracts were 
awarded and work begun on Energy Recovery Contract 
at the Dworshak Hatchery, Three Meadows Group Camp, 
Freeman Creek Road slide repair, electrical service to 
Three Meadows Group Camp. Work was completed on electrical 
service to Big Eddy Recreation area. 
Maintenance: Normal operation and maintenance continued. 
Hatchery operations were impaired by an infection 
of IHN virus which caused a nine percent decrease 
in steelhead smolt releases from 1984 levels. In Spring 
1985, 1,700,000 steelhead smolts weighing 225,000 
pounds were released. A return of 14,000 adults in Spring 
1985 is expected to produce the hatchery's capacity of 
2,900,000 smolts for 1986 release. In addition to steelhead, 
the hatchery released 100,000 rainbow trout weighing 
25,000 pounds into the reservoir in 1985.

Modification to irrigation system at Hellsgate 
Park, turbine shaft sleeves, fish barge modifcations and 
purchase of speed reducers for fish pumps. Also, completion 
of restroom facilities at Clarkston Resource Office. 
As the first juvenile fish collection point on the Snake 
River, Lower Granite is a primary component in the 
District's fish collection and transport program. This program 
was begun because construction of eight dams on 
the Columbia and Snake Rivers has had a significant 
impact on the survival during downstream migration of 
juvenile anadromous fish such as salmon and steelhead 
trout. Since the early 1960's, efforts to mitigate the 
adverse impacts have included extensive research, structural 
modifications of the dams, installation of turbine 
screening systems, and implementation of a system for 
collecting and transporting juvenile fish. 
The Walla Walla District operates the fish collection 
and transportation program for the Columbia-Snake 
system. Three primary collection points have been 
established at Lower Granite, Little Goose and McNary 
dams, with fish sorting and handling facilities. Fingerlings 
collected at these facilities are taken by specially 
designed barges and trucks to an area downstream of Bonneville 
Dam and released to make the rest of their journey 
to the sea. In 1984 and 1985 a total of 9,028,959 and 
14,787,592 fingerlings were transported. In 1982 and 
1983, state and federal fishery agencies, as well as the 
tribes, requested increased spills at each dam and separation 
and bypass of spring chinook at Little Goose and 
McNary Dams as a back-up means of insuring continuance 
of the fish runs. This philosophy of spreading-therisk 
is likely to continue for the foreseeable future and 
will necessitate both increased spillage for fish passage 
and a viable trapping and transport program. Advances 
in fish research and technology will no doubt require 
modifications to the facilities currently in use. 
A total of 3.01 billion kilowatt hours of electric energy 
were delivered to Bonneville Power Administration, the 
marketing agency. A total of 2,118,148 tons of cargo passed 
through the navigation lock during calendar year 1983.

WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON DISTRICT 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. On Snake River from the mouth 
to Johnson Bar Landing there are 18 privately owned 
barge terminals in use for shipping grain, petroleum products, 
fertilizers, cement, and other general cargo. There 
are also 5 marinas and 28 small-boat launching ramps, 
all open to public use. The facilities serve slack-water 
navigation to Snake River Mile 140, the site of Lewiston, 
ID. That slack-water reaches the Lewiston, ID-Clarkston, 
WA area since the lake behind Lower Granite Dam was 
filled in February 1975. 
Operations during fiscal year. See individual reports 
for Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose, and 
Lower Granite locks and dams. On Snake River from 
Lewiston, ID, to Johnson Bar Landing, reconnaissance 
and condition surveys were conducted and survey markers 
were maintained. 
General Investigations 
27. SURVEYS 
The Upper Snake River and Tributaries is the principal 
ongoing survey. The area covered by the study extends 
from the headwaters of the Snake River in Wyoming down 
to and including the Weiser River in Idaho. The potential 
for supplemental water storage, power generation, and 
streamflow augmentation to enhance fisheries, continues 
to be the primary focus. 
A survey study of the Mill Creek Basin continued in 
FY 1985. Mill Creek originates in the Blue Mountains 
in northern Oregon and southern Washington, and is 
tributary to the Walla Walla River. Water resource problems 
and needs being investigated include municipal and 
industrial water supply, power generation, fish enhancement, 
flood control, and irrigation. 
The Columbia River and Tributaries is a survey study 
directed by the North Pacific Division in which the Walla 
Walla District is participating. A major activity of the 
CR&T study in FY 85 was the Regional Hydropower 
Assessment being performed in coordination with the 
Northwest Power Planning Council. Other work on the 
CR&T study involved preparation of basin summary 
reports, development of flood control operational information, 
completion of the McNary additional Purposes 
Report and continued work on the John Day and Clearwater 
River Basin interim studies. 
A survey study is underway that is investigating the 
flooding problems associated with the rising water levels 
of Malheur Lake in Harney County, Oregon. Four consecutive 
years of above normal runoff from the basin have 
raised the level of this closed basin lake above any 
historical record and caused great economic and social impacts 
on Harney County. Alternatives being investigated 
include a canal from Malheur Lake that would discharge 
lake water into the South Fork of the Malheur River, 
relocations of transportation facilities and land exchange 
and/or buy out of private lands. 
Total cost of surveys during fiscal year was $1,218,954. 
That sum was expended for: flood control studies, 
$1,060,099; special studies including Soil Conservation 
Service, Bureau of Reclamation, River Basin and Regional 
Planning Commissions, Cooperation with States, $37,563; 
and Special Investigations and FERC Licensing Activities, 
$121,292. 
28. COLLECTION AND STUDY OF BASIC DATA 
During the fiscal year flood hazard data for a number 
of locations in the District were collected and analyzed. 
Flood information was provided to several Federal agencies, 
to the States of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, to 
various cities and counties in those states, and to some 
private organizations. 
Total cost of collection and study of basic data during 
fiscal year was $109,622 which was expended for flood 
plain management services, $49,792; and technical services, 
$59,830. 
29. CONTINUATION OF PLANNING AND 
ENGINEERING 
McNary Lock and Dam (Second Powerhouse), OR 
and WA 
McNary Second Powerhouse is a proposed addition on 
the south shore of McNary Lock and Dam on the Columbia 
River near Umatilla, OR. The project will increase the 
present 1127 megawatt generating capacity by an additional 
742 megawatts. Provisions are included for compensation 
of negative impacts on fish and wildlife. The project 
is estimated to cost $649,000,000 at October 1, 1984 
price levels. Annual power benefits are estimated to be 
$90,063,000. 
The General Design Memorandum Phase I was 
prepared under the Water Resource Development Act of 
1976, Public Law 94-587, and submitted to the Secretary 
of the Army on July 1, 1981. 
Studies were initiated in FY 1982 and continued 
through FY 1984 on the General Design Memorandum 
Phase II and the Powerhouse Preliminary Design Report. 
1985 expenditures were $21,787 spent on hydraulic model 
study by Waterway Experiment Station in Vicksburg, MS. 
30. ADVANCE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN 
Zintel Canyon Dam, WA 
The proposed project consists of a roller compacted concrete 
dam 102 feet high with uncontrolled spillway and 
a fixed maximum release outlet works that would create 
a detention reservoir of 2,500 acre-feet of capacity. The 
storage comprises 2,100 acre-feet for flood control and 400 
acre-feet for sediment. In addition, the project also includes 
a channel with a capacity of 400 cfs. The plan of 
improvement would provide protection against heavy 
rainfall, snowmelt, and thunderstorm floods to the city 
of Kennewick, WA. Estimated Federal project cost is 
$5,600,000. 
Reevaluation of the project was initiated to review 
economic feasibility with fiscal year costs of $1,556.

1. ANCHORAGE HARBOR, AK 
Location. Anchorage is in southcentral Alaska on the 
southeast shore of Knik Arm, north of Turnagain Arm 
near its junction with Cook Inlet. (See NOAA Charts 
16660 and 16664.) 
Existing project. Provides for dredging along a 
3,000-foot baseline adjacent to the Port of Anchorage dock 
to a depth of 35 feet below mean lower low water. Tidal 
range between mean lower low water and mean higher 
high water is 29.0 feet and the extreme range is 42.0 feet. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. The Port of Anchorage facility consists 
of a POL terminal at the southern end and three 
general cargo terminals northward. The northernmost terminal, 
completed during 1976 and 1977 was outside the 
Federal project limits. Extension of limits from 2,070 feet 
northward to 3,000 feet was authorized by Public Law 
94-587 and funded in FY 1978. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: The 
dredging contract to remove 550,000 cubic yards of 
material (450,000 cubic yard in the base area and 100,000 
cubic yard in the additive area) was awarded April 16, 
1985. The contractor used a 10 and 15 cubic yard clamshell 
dredger. 
Dredging has been accomplished across the entire project 
during FY 1985. A total of 481,800 cubic yards were 
dredged. Controlling depth at the harbor was -36 feet 
mean lower low water, with a majority of the harbor at 
project depth. 
2. BETHEL SMALL BOAT HARBOR, AK 
Location. The city of Bethel is 65 miles upriver on the 
north bank of the Kuskokwim River, which flows through 
southwestern Alaska. Bethel is about 400 miles west of 
40-1

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Anchorage. (See Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart 9302 
and USGS Map Bethel D8.) 
Existing project. Project (Section 107) includes provision 
of a 12-acre small boat harbor and 1,270 foot entrance 
channel by deepening, widening, and straightening a portion 
of the Lousetown Slough which is 0.3 miles east of 
Bethel. Range between mean lower low water and mean 
higher high water is 4.0 feet and extreme tidal range is 
10.0 feet, during low summer water flow in Kuskokwim 
River. Water level also depends on river state; tidal effects 
decrease with higher river flows, disappearing only at the 
20-year-frequency flood stage. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Bethel serves as a regional 
transportation center for approximately 50 villages. A 
medium-draft port facility was built along the city's riverfront 
in 1975. Goods, including gas, oil, food, clothing, and 
construction material are all brought into Bethel for 
redistribution to outlying villages. Generally, river 
shipments of bulk goods are transported by medium-draft 
barges. Personal supplies are often moved in individually 
owned riverboats which also are used for fishing activities. 
The riverboat fleet in Bethel is estimated to 
number between 1,000 and 1,100 boats, of which 400 are 
transient boats from other villages along the Kuskokwim 
River. There are also eight river barges varying in size 
to as large as 30 by 100 feet. The barges are powered by 
five locally-based tug boats with lengths ranging from 25 
to 40 feet. No protected berthing areas exist at Bethel for 
any water craft. The riverboats are beached on the sandbars 
and banks for temporary storage. Brown's Slough is 
particularly popular as a berthing area, resulting in overcrowding 
and congestion. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Construction 
was physically completed in FY 1983. Grass stabilization 
of slope study was accomplished in FY 1985. 
3. CORDOVA SMALL BOAT HARBOR, AK 
Location. Cordova is on Orca Inlet, a strait near the 
eastern entrance of Prince William Sound, about 150 air 
miles south-southeast of Anchorage. (See Coast and 
Geodetic Survey Charts 8520, 8525, and 8551.) 
Existing project. The Office of the Chief of Engineers 
approved construction of a harbor expansion from 8.26 
acres to 20 acres by removal of the existing 1400-foot 
breakwater and construction of a new 2000-foot long 
breakwater. The entrance channel is dredged to -16 feet 
mean lower low water and the turning basin is dredged 
from -10 to -12 mean lower low water. Tidal range between 
mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 12.4 
feet with an extreme range of 21.7 feet. The dredged 
material is disposed of in two diked upper tidal areas 
which will be used as staging facilities. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal Facilities. Two municipal docks accommodate 
general cargo and passengers, including 
automobile ferry traffic. One privately owned wharf, 
reduced by fire, provides oil handling and bunkering 
facilities. Three privately owned wharves are used for 
industrial purposes. A small boat float system for public 
use is in original basin. State ferry dock in basin has been 
superseded by municipal dock and is inactive. Facilities 
are considered adequate for present commerce. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Project is 
physically complete; however, Supplemental Appropriations 
Act, 1985, PL 99-88, authorized payment of 
estimated $7,400,000 judgment and any associated interest 
resulting from decision of the Engineer Board of 
Contract Appeals, September 6, 1985. 
4. DILLINGHAM HARBOR, AK 
Location. At head of Nushagak Bay, an arm of Bristol 
Bay, on right bank of Nushagak River just below its confluence 
with Wood River; about 470 miles northeasterly 
of Dutch Harbor and 300 miles southwest of Anchorage. 
(See NOAA/NOS Chart #16660.) 
Existing project: A small-boat basin 230,000 square 
feet in area with a depth of 2 feet above mean lower low 
water along Scandinavian Creek; with entrance channel 
1,100 feet long and 40 feet wide in Scandinavian Creek; 
and a sheet pile sill across the basin outlet with a top 
elevation of 7 feet above mean lower low water. During 
design stage the project was revised to include a rock sill 
with adjacent scour-protection blankets and the embankment 
was relocated to include a berm between the basin 
and the embankment. Tidal range between mean lower 
low water and mean higher high water is 19.8 feet. Extreme 
range is 30.0 feet. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Four docks at the city of Dillingham; 
three privately owned one owned by the city of 
Dillingham, and four publicly owned small-boat floats in 
the project basin. Two docks are used for salmon-cannery 
operations; the third is an oil handling and bunkering terminal; 
the fourth dock is used by the city to unload barges 
which come into Dillingham. New floats for the harbor 
were installed in June 1982, and removed before fall 
freezeup. They will be replaced each spring. Cargo and 
passengers from ocean vessels are unloaded at the docks 
or in the small-boat basin. Facilities are inadequate for 
number of boats using small boat harbor. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Government 
plant and hired labor performed dredging from May 
through June 1985 and 121,000 cubic yards of material 
were removed. Modifications to the dredge, combined with 
operating 24 hours a day, resulted in more cubic yards being 
dredged in the shortest time period since annual 
maintenance dredging of the harbor began in 1969. 
5. HOMER HARBOR, AK 
Location. In Kachemak Bay, on Kenai Peninsula, 152 
miles by water southwest of Anchorage. Harbor site is 
land based near the extremity of Homer Spit which varies 
to one-quarter mile in width and extends 4.5 miles 
southeasterly from the mainland. (See NOAA/NOS Chart 
#16645.) 
Existing project. Provides for sheltered small-boat 
harbor, relocated and based within Homer Spit about 50 
40-2

ALASKA DISTRICT 
acres in area. Project depth varies from 10 feet mean lower 
low water in the most western segment of the harbor to 
20 feet below mean lower low water in the entrance channel 
and the most eastern segment of the harbor; a north 
entrance channel; protected by a main rock breakwater 
1,018 feet long and secondary rock breakwater 238 feet 
long. Tidal range between mean lower low and mean 
higher high water is 18.1 feet, with an extreme range of 
30.4 feet. (For details relating to previous projects, see page 
1593 of Annual Report for 1964.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. One publicly owned and operated 
wharf capable of handling oceangoing vessels serves for 
passengers and general cargo. Small-boat facilities in 
basin area include publicly owned mooring floats, a publicly 
owned wharf, and an industrial wharf. Construction 
has tripled size of the harbor. The city of Homer has tripled 
the size of its fish dock located at the southern end of 
the harbor. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: The contract 
for expansion of the Homer Small Boat Harbor was 
completed in November 1984. A total of 1,869,132 cubic 
yards were dredged, armor rock was placed, and a new 
four-lane launch ramp was built. 
Maintenance: Hydrographic surveys were performed. 
6. KAKE HARBOR, AK 
Location. Kake Harbor is located in the city of Kake, 
on the northwest corner of Kupreanof Island in 
southeastern Alaska, 39 air miles west of Petersburg, AK, 
and 850 water miles northwesterly of Seattle, WA. (See 
Coast and Geodetic Chart 8201.) 
Existing project. The authorized project consists of a 
1,580-foot-long west breakwater and a 900-foot long south 
breakwater, enclosing a 7-acre berthing area. Poor foundation 
conditions found during preconstruction investigations 
have forced modification of the project to include a 
1,760-foot-long west breakwater and a 1,750-foot-long 
south breakwater. Tidal range between mean lower low 
water and mean higher high water is 14.0 feet with an 
extreme range of 22 feet. Estimated project cost is 
$12,538,000 (October 1984), including $12,500,000 Corps 
of Engineers funds $22,000 Coast Guard funds, and 
$16,000 non-Federal cost. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. At Kake, a publicly owned wharf 
with seaplane float equipped airplanes and shallow-draft 
vessels is located within area of proposed basin. At cannery 
1 mile from city, there are two privately owned deepdraft 
piers: one for cargo, open to all local boat owners, 
the second for fuel, including a float for fueling small 
boats. At Portage Cove, there is one publicly-owned smallboat 
float. Facilities are not considered adequate for present 
commerce due to the following deficiencies in smallboat 
facilities: the complete lack of protection in the directions 
of the most severe storms; shallow water at Portage 
Cove float and its approaches; ice formation on the cove 
during the winter months causes major boat damage and 
limits the use of the mooring float; and transportation 
problems between city and present small-boat float at 
Portage Cove. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: A 
biological study was completed which investigated the 
aquatic habitats and organisms of the project area 
through the use of a joint United States Fish and Wildlife 
Service - Corps of Engineers dive effort. The data gathered 
is being used to understand temporal changes in these 
natural systems, pre- and post-project conditions, as well 
as provide background information for a recolonization 
study of man-made rubble structures in Alaska. Analysis 
of the data was completed and the report will be prepared 
in FY 1986. A temporary automatic meteorburst wind 
monitoring station was maintained to gather wind velocity 
and directional data more closely associated with the 
location of the project for comparison with data used in 
complying with the plans and specifications. 
7. KING COVE HARBOR, AK 
Location. The city of King Cove, Alaska, is located 
near the southwesterly tip of the Alaska Peninsula in 
southwestern Alaska, 630 miles southwest of Anchorage. 
(See NOAA/NOS Chart #16549.) 
Existing project. Provides for an 11-acre small-boat 
basin having an anchorage basin 900 feet long by 550 feet 
wide and an entrance channel 100 feet wide and about 
400 feet long, both at a depth of 15 feet below mean lower 
low water, a 1,400-foot long training dike, top elevation 
10 feet above mean lower low water; and a 200-foot long 
rock sea groin, top elevation 14 feet above mean lower low 
water. Tidal range between mean lower low water and 
mean higher high water is 6.8 feet, with an extreme range 
of 14.0 feet. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Consists of twin wharves with a 
small basin between them; marine rail and slipways 
flanked by catwalks and oil terminal facilities; and mooring 
buoys, dolphins, and piling for small boats. All are 
privately owned. Facilities are considered adequate for 
present oceangoing commerce but inadequate for the commercial 
fishing vessels operating in the area. A study for 
a new dock to be built by the State has been completed 
and engineering specifications for the new dock are now 
in the process of being written. The new dock will be 
leased to the city after construction. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: A contract 
for dredging of the harbor was awarded July 20, 
1984. Dredging of the harbor started September 1, 1984 
and was completed on October 21, 1984. A total of 17,250 
cubic yards were removed. 
8. METLAKATLA HARBOR, AK 
Location. Metlakatla is located in the southern portion 
of Port Chester, a small bay on the northwest coast 
of Annette Island in southeastern Alaska, 18 miles south 
of Ketchikan. (See Coast and Geodetic Charts 8074, 8075, 
and 8102.) 
Existing project. Consists of two small-boat basins. 
Existing basin is 2.18 acres in extent with a depth of 10 
40-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
feet below mean lower low water, protected by a rubblemound 
breakwater 900 feet long. New basin consists of 
two rubblemound breakwaters, 1,255 and 1,150 feet long, 
and an entrance channel and maneuvering area, 1,100 
feet long, 100 feet wide, dredged to a depth of 15 feet below 
mean lower low water and a basin area of 6.25 acres 
dredged to a depth of 15 feet below mean lower low water. 
Tidal range between mean lower low water and mean 
higher high water is 14.7 feet, with an extreme range of 
24 feet. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Publicly owned facilities are one 
general-cargo dock, one barge ramp, and a small-boat float 
system in existing basin. Privately owned facilities are 
one oil pier and one industrial wharf. Facilities are not 
adequate for mooring the commercial fishing vessels 
operating from Metlakatla. Existing protected harbor 
area is fully utilized. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Project is 
physically complete; however, various contractor claims 
are still pending. 
Maintenance: In October 1984 erosion problems at the 
beach adjacent to the east breakwater of the Metlakatla 
Small Boat Harbor were first reported. A site investigation 
was made on October 30, 1984. Beach erosion in this 
area has accelerated since construction of the harbor. A 
letter report describing the erosion and two recommended 
alternatives was completed in January 1985, and 
forwarded to higher authority for review and funding. 
Funding was obtained and a contract for placing a 4-foot 
thick riprap blanket (approximately 3,300 cubic yards of 
quarry spalls) on the beach and placing riprap on the landward 
connection of the east breakwater was awarded on 
September 30, 1985. The work is scheduled for 
completion in November 1985. 
9. NINILCHIK HARBOR, AK 
Location. At mouth of Ninilchik River in Cook Inlet, 
at the community of Ninilchik, AK, about 40 miles upcoast 
from Homer and 112 miles southwest of Anchorage. 
(See NOAA/NOS Chart #16640.) 
Existing project. A small-boat basin 320 feet long by 
150 feet wide dredged to elevation of 2 feet above mean 
lower low water, with an approach channel 400 feet long 
and 50 feet wide dredged to an elevation of 9 feet above 
mean lower low water; protected by a pile jetty 410 feet 
long. Project was modified in design stage to delete pile 
jetty and revise harbor dimensions to 400 feet long by 125 
feet wide, and was completed in November 1961. Modification, 
including river channel diversicn, two armor rock 
jetties, and beach protection, was accomplished 1967 and 
1969. Range between mean lower low water and mean 
higher high water is 19.1 feet, with an extreme range of 
29.3 feet. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Facilities, limited to shallow-draft 
vessels and accessible from Cook Inlet only at half-tide 
or higher, are a cannery dock along Ninilchik River 
available for offloading fish, and small-boat floats in project 
basin, provided by State of Alaska. Other supplies are 
landed on beach or brought by road from deep-draft ports 
in the vicinity. Facilities are extremely inadequate for the 
number of boats presently using harbor. Expansion of 
facilities would require construction of additional protected 
harbor area. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging 
of the harbor and entrance channel was accomplished 
with 6,800 cubic yards removed in 1985. A survey of the 
basin during May 1985 indicated project depth was 
available throughout the Federal limits. 
10. NOME HARBOR, AK 
Location. At mouth of Snake River at the city of Nome, 
AK, on northerly shore of Norton Sound, an arm of Bering 
Sea. It is a shallow open roadstead, 581 nautical miles 
north of Dutch Harbor and 545 air miles northwest of Anchorage. 
(See NOAA/NOS Chart #16206.) 
Existing project. Provides for two jetties, the easterly 
951 and the westerly not exceeding 676 feet long, at 
mouth of Snake River; a channel 8 feet at mean lower low 
water, 75 feet wide, from Norton Sound through Snake 
River to mouths of Bourbon and Dry Creeks, in city of 
Nome, ending in a turning basin of the same depth, 250 
feet wide and 600 feet long; revetting banks of rivers; and 
protecting all existing water-front improvements on 
easterly beach by means of rock-mound seawall 3,350 feet 
long extending easterly from east jetty. Project has been 
completed except extension of jetties beyond present 400 
and 240 feet, which is classified inactive. Range between 
mean lower low water and mean higher high water is 1.6 
feet and extreme tidal range is 7.5 feet, but water levels 
are influenced more by wind than tide. Levels of 5 feet 
below mean lower low water have been observed during 
offshore winds, and a level of 14 feet above mean lower 
low water has been observed during a southerly storm. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. Cargoes and passengers from 
ocean vessels are lightered to and from shore a distance 
of about 2 miles. Traffic enters dredged channel and is 
handled over revetment, where lighterage company has 
transfer facilities which are open to the public. Facilities 
considered inadequate for existing commerce. In July 
1984, the city of Nome received Department of Army 
authorization (permit) to construct a 3,600-foot gravelfilled 
causeway. Construction of the causeway began in 
July 1985. Due to lack of complete funding the length of 
the causeway was shortened to 2,500 feet. Construction 
is scheduled to be completed in FY 1987. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Dredging 
by contract was accomplished throughout the ice-free 
season. 15,200 cubic yards were removed in FY 1985. A 
Design Memorandum (DM) for the rehabilitation of the 
Nome Harbor jetties and revetments was prepared. The 
draft DM was distributed for review and comment in FY 
1985. The scheduled submittal of the final DM to higher 
authority is November 1985.

11. PORT LIONS SMALL BOAT HARBOR, AK 
Location. Port Lions is located on the north end of 
Kodiak Island, approximately 19 air miles west of the city 
of Kodiak. (See NOAA/NOS Chart #16594.) 
Existing Project. The Office of the Chief of Engineers 
approved construction for a small boat harbor at Port 
Lions on April 9, 1979. Construction consisted of a 
600-foot-long breakwater, a 170-foot-long stub breakwater 
inclosing a 12-acre harbor. Tidal range between mean 
lower low water and mean higher high water is 9.6 feet 
with an extreme range of 18 feet. 
A severe storm in November 1981 badly damaged the 
project. The repair work included replacing material of 
the existing main breakwater, extending the main 
breakwater 125 feet, changing the seaward breakwater 
slope to a 2.OH:1.OV adding a layer of armor rock and raising 
the design crest elevation from + 18.5 mean lower low 
water to +22.0 mean lower low water. Minor dredging in 
the entrance channel to -15.0 mean lower low water was 
also included. 
Local Cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Terminal facilities. A municipal timber pile dock at 
Port Wakefield serves as both a shallow-draft and deepdraft 
facility for Port Lions. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: Project 
is complete. Contractor claim for differing site conditions 
for dredging is pending. 
12. PROJECT CONDITION SURVEYS 
Preliminary and detailed surveys to determine navigation 
conditions at boat basins, small navigation projects, 
channels, and tributaries of major rivers not within 
major project boundaries. Total costs for fiscal year were 
$473,826 (See Table 40-I). 
13. STIKINE RIVER, AK 
Location. Rises in northwestern Canada and flows 
southwesterly through Canada for about 200 miles, then 
about 30 miles westerly across Panhandle of Alaska to 
Sumner Strait. Mouth of river is on coast of mainland 
about 3 miles north of Wrangell. (See NOAA/NOS Chart 
#17360.) 
Existing project. Snagging Stikine River from its 
mouth for about 30 miles to Canadian border. The Canadian 
Government maintains that portion of the river between 
Alaskan border and Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, 
a distance of 130 miles. The head of navigation 
is at Telegraph Creek, B.C., about 160 miles above the 
mouth. No data is available concerning stages of high and 
low water in river. At mouth, tidal range between mean 
lower low water and mean higher high water is 13.9 feet, 
and maximum range is about 25 feet. Tidal effects have 
been reported at a distance of 20 miles from the mouth. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Terminal facilities. None along Alaskan portion of 
river. Vessels operating on Stikine River are dependent 
on terminal facilities at Wrangell Harbor. Facilities include 
a city operated pier for general cargo and 
passengers; two publicly operated small-boat mooring 
floats; two privately operated small-boat fueling floats; 
a State of Alaska Ferry Pier, and three industrial wharves. 
Operations during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Memorandum of Understanding between Corps and 
Forest Service signed August 1972 provided for Forest 
Service personnel to do project clearing. However, due to 
environmental restraints, no work was accomplished until 
1977 after completion of an environmental assessment. 
The work has been accomplished annually by the U.S. 
Forest Service since 1977. 
Two contracts were awarded by the Corps for 
maintenance of the Stikine River Channel. One contract 
was for removing snags and the other was for clearing the 
channel. Both contracts were completed in FY 1985.

14. CHENA RIVER LAKES, AK 
Location. In the vicinity of Fairbanks, AK, and encompassing 
the Tanana River, Chena River, Little Chena 
River, and their tributaries. (See USGS map Fairbanks, 
Cl, Dl, D2, and Big Delta D6.) 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. 
Existing project. Moose Creek Dam has been constructed 
17 miles east of Fairbanks with control works 
on Chena River. The dam itself extends from a bluff one 
mile north of the Chena River and south past the control 
works for approximately six miles to the Tanana River. 
The dam connects with a completed 22-mile levee system 
along the north boundary of the Tanana River to a point 
south and west of Fairbanks. Estimated Federal cost is 
$263,000,000, (excluding Little Chena Dam, presently 
deferred) and estimated non-Federal cost is $12,548,000. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Constructtion 
of Groins 4 thru 8 was completed in June 1985. The 
Debris Control Structure constructed on the Moose Creek 
Dam control works was completed in September 1985. 
Maintenance: A major high water event in May 1985 
necessitated lowering the flood gates. Although no direct 
flooding was caused by the highwater event, underseepage 
of Moose Creek Dam raised the existing ground water 
table causing some basement annd crawl space flooding. 
15. KUSKOKWIM RIVER, BETHEL, AK 
Location. Kuskokwim River bank at Bethel, AK. 
Existing project. Work was authorized under the continuing 
authority contained in Section 14 of the 1946 
Flood Control Act. This authority allows construction of 
emergency bank protection to prevent loss of the city's 
multipurpose bulkhead and petroleum dock. Approximately 
200 linear feet of rock riprap was placed at the 
toe of the sheet pile petroleum transfer facility that provides 
the fuel for Bethel and the 48 surrounding communities. 
Approximately 40 lineal feet of rock toe was constructed 
at the downstream end of the Mission Road section 
of the city's multipurpose pipeline bulkhead which 
protects their commercial and residential district. 
Local cooperation. The project sponsor, city of Bethel, 
provided construction easements and rights-of-way, and 
40-5

Multiple-Purpose Projects, 
Including Power 
19. SNETTISHAM, AK 
Location. At mouth of Speel River, between Crater 
Lake to the west and Long Lake to the north, 28 nautical 
miles southeast of Juneau. (See Coast Geodetic Survey 
Chart 8227.) 
Existing project. Snettisham is a multi-stage power 
project. The initial stage of the initial phase which was 
completed in 1977 tapped Long Lake and included an 
underground powerhouse with two 23.4 megawatt units 
and a transmission line to Juneau, AK. The project was 
turned over to the Alaska Power Administration for operation 
and maintenance. The second stage, under design and 
construction, will provide a tunnel to Crater Lake and add 
a third unit. The final phase will provide a dam on Long 
Lake to increase storage and the energy capability of Long 
Lake. The Long Lake Dam is currently unscheduled. The 
existing Long Lake (elevation 815 feet) water is 
transported through an approximately horizontal 13-foot 
diameter tunnel 8,400 feet long and a 1,400-foot penstock 
dropping at a 46 degree angle to the undergound 
powerhouse at tidewater to drive two turbines with a combined 
generating capacity of 47,600 kilowatts. Power from 
two generators is supplied to Juneau by a 13.8 kilovolt 
overhead transmission line and a submarine cable traversing 
Taku Inlet. Crater Lake stage of construction 
provides for tapping Crater Lake (elevation 1,022 feet) to 
drive a third turbine to be installed in the existing 
underground powerhouse to provide an additional 
nameplate-rated generating capacity of 34,500 kilowatts. 
Estimated cost of initial phase construction is 
$139,000,000. 
Local cooperation. None required. 
Operations during fiscal year. New work: Engineering 
and Design on the Crater Lake Phase included 100 
percent completion of the feature design memorandum for 
power tunnel, penstock, lake tap, gate structure and surge 
tank; 80 percent completion of plans and specifications 
for completing the initial development including gate 
structure, penstock surge tank, machine shop powerhouse 
completion and lake tap; and 99 percent completion of 
plans and specifications for generator, powerhouse completion 
and electrical contracts. Investigations included 
an extensive lake tap study using refraction seismic 
survey, sub-bottom profiling, and corehole drilling to determine 
the amount and type of overburden and bedrock conditions 
in the lake tap area and beginning of a study to 
determine the economic viability of proceeding with the 
final phase of development of the Long Lake Dam. The 
initial construction contract of the Crater Lake phase was 
awarded September 28, 1984. Work performed under the 
contract included rock excavation of the power tunnel, 
penstock access adit, and machine shop adit, chamber and 
tunnel to powerhouse with contract scheduled for completion 
in October 1985.

BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS 
The Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors is a 
continuing body created by Section 3 of the 1902 River and 
Harbor Act. The Board is selected by the Chief of Engineers 
and consists of seven senior engineer officers. The 
Deputy Chief of Engineers normally serves as Chairman. 
Five members are Division Engineers with membership 
rotated among divisions having Civil Works missions. The 
seventh member, assigned full time to the Board as 
Resident Member, also directs the staff in carrying out the 
responsibilities of the Board. The Board meets quarterly or 
on call of the Chairman. 
The Board has several statutory duties. It conducts 
independent reviews of Corps survey reports covering 
water resources projects and reports its conclusions and 
recommendations to the Chief of Engineers. The Chief of 
Engineers then forwards the reports with his conclusions 
and recommendations to the Assistant Secretary of the 
Army (Civil Works) for transmission to the Congress. The 
Board also conducts independent reviews of special 
reports ordered by the Congress. It considers and approves 
general plans for major modification and reconstruction 
of any lock, canal, canalized river or other work 
for the use or benefit of navigation. 
In addition to its statutory duties, the Chief of Engineers 
has assigned further duties to the Board. It reviews Corps 
policies and procedures as directed, additional special 
reports for the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of 
Engineers, reports of other Federal agencies pertaining to 
water resources development as directed, and conducts a 
10-month program of in-service training for approximately 
15 Corps planners anually-generally at GS 12 and 13 
levels-in all aspects of Federal water resources development. 
The training program helps meet Corps needs for 
increased numbers of qualified people in the planning 
field. The Board also has administrative responsibility for 
processing proposed reports of the Chief of Engineers, 
along with Final Environmental Impact Statements, to 
states and Federal agencies for their 90-day review. 
In addition to other duties, the Resident Member of the 
Board has served as second alternate for the Secretary of 
the Army on the Foreign Trade Zones Board. The Secretary 
of the Army has also appointed the Resident Member 
to serve as his representative on the Committee of Alternates 
of the Foreign Trade Zones Board and authorized 
him to act directly on the Secretary's behalf on all nondiscretionary 
matters involving foreign trade zones. This 
appointment relieves the Assistant Secretary of the Army 
for Civil Works of routine duties in this regard; however, 
discretionary matters concerning the Foreign Trade Zones 
Board remain under previous delegations of authority. 
Total membership of the Board is fixed by law at seven. 
In December 1982, the Chief of Engineers instituted a 
mechanism for predesignating future members based on 
their time of service as division engineers, geographical 
factors, and other criteria. This procedure achieves a wider 
involvement of division engineers and their staffs with the 
proceedings of the Board. Members Designate attend and 
participate in meetings of the Board, but are not permitted 
to vote on Board actions.

Control Act of May 15, 1928, authorized the Flood 
Control, Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T) 
Project. The Commission consists of three officers of 
the Corps of Engineers, one from the former Coast and 
Geodetic Survey (presently the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration), and three civilians, two 
of whom must be civil engineers. All members are 
appointed by the President with the advice and consent 
of the Senate. 
During the fiscal year the Commissioners were: BG 
Thomas A. Sands, U.S. Army, President, appointed 
May 10, 1985; Mr. Sam E. Angel, appointed Sept. 25, 
1979; Mr. R. D. James, civil engineer, appointed Dec. 1, 
1981; BG Jerome B. Hilmes, U.S. Army, appointed 
Nov. 21, 1983; RA John D. Bossler, NOAA, appointed 
Mar. 14, 1984; BG Robert J. Dacey, appointed May 10, 
1985; COL Joseph Yore, U.S. Army, served as Secretary 
of the Commission till his retirement Jul. 31, 1985. 
The MRC is charged, under direction of the Secretary 
of the Army and supervision of the Chief of Engineers, 
with prosecution of improvements for flood control of 
the Mississippi River and of its tributaries and outlets 
in its alluvial valley, so far as they are affected by 
Mississippi River backwater, between Head of Passes, 
LA (mile 0), and Cape Girardeau, MO (1,006 miles 
AHP-Lower Mississippi mileage terminates at mile 
954 AHP), and with prosecution of improvements in 
the interest of navigation between Cairo, IL (954 miles 
AHP), and Baton Rouge, LA (234 miles AHP); and for 
stabilization of the lower 7 miles of the right bank of 
the Ohio River, to former mouth of Cache River. It also 
is charged with prosecution of certain flood control 
works on the Mississippi River and tributaries, as far 
as they are affected by backwater, between Cape 
Girardeau, MO, and Rock Island, IL (1,437 miles AHP),

MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND 
ALLUVIAL VALLEY BELOW 
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. 
Location and description. The Mississippi River 
rises in Lake Itasca, MN, and flows generally southerly 
for 2,340 miles through the central portion of United 
States to empty into the Gulf of Mexico 115 miles below 
New Orleans. It is improved for barge navigation for 
1,832 miles to Minneapolis, MN. The Mississippi River 
and its major tributaries, the Missouri, Ohio, St. 
Francis, White, Arkansas, Yazoo, and Red-Old Rivers, 
drain 1,245,000 square miles in all or part of 31 states 
between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains and 
part of two Canadian provinces. Below Cape Girardeau, 
MO, 53 miles above Ohio River, river bottomlands 
widen abruptly into an alluvial valley of 35,460 square 
miles which was originally subjected to flood overflow. 
A major part of the alluvial valley has been protected 
from floods by levees which confine floodflows within a 
floodplain having an average width of 5 miles. (See 
map of alluvial valley of Mississippi River, scale 
1:500,000.) Observations made by Mississippi River 
Commission to Sep. 30, 1982, show approximate alltime 
maximum and minimum discharges between 
levees as follows: Cairo to White River, 2,000,000 and 
70,000 cubic feet per second; thence to Red River, 
2,150,000 and 90,000 cubic feet per second; thence to 
the Gulf of Mexico, 1,500,000 and 50,000 cubic feet per 
second in Mississippi River and 660,000 and 11,000 
cubic feet per second in Atchafalaya River. As the 1927 
floodflow was not confined between levees, maximum 
discharges recorded do not include entire flow of the 
1927 flood, maximum of record below White River. 
High water and flood stages usually occur in late 
winter or early spring, but great floods such as that of 
1937 occurred as early as January. Low water stages 
generally prevail from August to December. Extreme 
all-time ranges in stages recorded at representative 
gages (rounded to nearest foot) are 60 feet at Cairo, 49 
feet at Memphis, 57 feet at Red River Landing, and 21 
feet at New Orleans (Carrollton). The river is nontidal 
above Red River Landing where tidal amplitude rarely 
exceeds 0.1 foot during extreme low water. 
Previous projects. For details see page 1944, 
Annual Report for 1932. 
Existing project. The Mississippi River and Tributaries 
Project in the alluvial valley between Head of 
Passes, LA, and Cape Girardeau, MO, provides protection 
from floods by means of levees, floodwalls, 
floodways, reservoirs (in Yazoo and St. Francis Basins), 
bank stabilization, and channel improvements in and 
along the river and its tributaries and outlets insofar as 
affected by backwater of Mississippi River, including 
levee work on the main stem between Cape Girardeau 
and Rock Island. When completed, 23,621 square miles 
will be protected from the Mississippi River project 
flood. The project also provides for a 12- by 300-foot 
navigation channel between Baton Rouge, LA, and 
Cairo, IL; for salinity-control structures; and for 
channel realinement and improvement including bank 
stabilization and dikes to reduce flood heights, control 
natural tendency of river to lengthen by meandering, 
and protect levees from being destroyed by caving 
banks. Locations of major main stem Mississippi River 
improvements are shown in Table 42-A and those for 
off-main stem tributaries are shown in Table 42-B. 
Pertinent data on dams and lakes are shown in Table 
42-C. Authorizing and incorporating legislation are 
shown in Tables 42-D and 42-E. Summary of presently 
estimated Federal cost of authorized improvements is 
shown in Table 42-F. Construction of the existing 
project began in 1928 and has continued throughout 
ensuing years. Based on the estimated cost of 
$9,402,902,000 (Cost projected through the construction 
period), and actual expenditures through Sep.30, 
1985, of $3,947,321,196, the entire project is about 77.4 
percent complete. 
Recommended modifications. None. 
Local cooperation. The Flood Control Act of 1928, 
as amended, applies. Such requirements have, in 
general, been complied with by local interests.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Committee resolutions, were made as required. Collection 
and study of basic data continued. Actions taken 
on various requests for modifications of the existing 
project, Mississippi River and Tributaries, authorized 
by the Flood Control Act of May 15, 1928, as amended 
(see Table 42-D), follow: 
West Memphis, AR Feasibility Report-The MRC 
Report dated May 5, 1983, contained recommendations 
for 23.86 miles of channel improvement on Ten and 
Fifteen Mile Bayous, restrictive easements and a 
limited revegetation program and to provide a 10-year 
degree of protection in urban and rural areas. The total 
estimated cost of this recommended improvement is 
$21,300,000 (Oct. 85). 
Helena, AR and Vicinity Feasibility Report-The 
MRC Report dated Dec. 16, 1982, contained recom-. 
mendations for a 225 cfs pumping station, 1.85 miles of 
channel enlargement to contain a 10 year storm and 7' 
x 7' gated culvert at Long Lake. The total estimated 
cost of this improvement is $14,100,000 (Oct. 85). 
Yazoo Backwater Project, Mississippi, Mitigation 
Report. The Chief of Engineers Report dated July 12, 
1984, recommended the acquisition of perpetual landuse 
easements on 11,300 acres of woodlands, or any 
combination of easements and fee title that would 
provide the same level of mitigation for fish and 
wildlife losses associated with the Yazoo Area Pump 
Project. The total estimated cost of this acquisition is 
$4,993,000 (Oct. 84). 
Mississippi and Louisiana Estuarine Areas, Louisiana 
and Mississippi Feasibility Report-The MRC 
Report, dated Jan. 10, 1985, contained recommendations 
for a diversion structure through the mainline 
Mississippi River levee adjacent to the Bonnet Carre 
Spillway; inflow and outflow channels; a sediment 
trap; and levee modifications necessary to accommodate 
the diversion structure. Total estimated cost of the 
recommended improvement is $58,200,000. 
Engineering studies. A research program was 
continued for development of materials and more 
effective and economical design of regulation features 
for placing and stabilizing the Mississippi River in a 
suitable alinement. 
Potamology investigations of river behavior continue 
to be made. Investigations into the major cause-andeffect 
relationships attributable to major changes in 
stage-discharge relationships on the Mississippi River 
as a result of both natural and man-made modifications 
are continuing. 
Mississippi River and Tributaries-Levees 
Operations and results during fiscal year. This 
feature consists of construction of new, and enlargement 
of existing, levees to approved grade and section; 
construction and restoration of levee berms; and construction, 
repair, and maintenance of roads on levees. 
Work accomplished is summarized in Table 42-N and 
further broken down as follows: 
New Orleans District-Enlarged 17.5 miles of levees 
and surfaced 6.7 miles of roads on levees in the Main 
Stem System. See Table 42-K. 
Vicksburg District-Constructed 0.0 mile of berms, 
and enlarged 0.0 miles of levees in the Main Stem 
System. See Table 42-L. 
Memphis District-Constructed 5.6 miles of seepage 
control measures in the Main Stem System. See Table 
42-M. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. (See Tables 42-K, 42-L, 42- 
M, and 42-N.) There are 1,608.3 miles of levees 
authorized for the Mississippi River below Cape Girardeau, 
of which 1,601.5 arein place with 1,173.8 built to 
approved grade and section. The Main Stem Levee 
System consists of 2,202.1 miles, of which 2,195.3 are in 
place with 1,588.8 miles completed to approved grade 
and section. Included in this system are additional 
levees and structures along the south bank of Arkansas 
River (85.4 miles); along the south bank of Red River 
(59.2 miles, with 59.2 completed); and 449.2 miles in 
the Atchafalaya River Basin, with 449.2 in place with 
270.5 completed to grade and section (see Table 42-N). 
Of the authorized 723 miles of berms, 493.4 are 
complete. Graveled or hard-surfaced roads have been 
constructed on 1,790.2 miles of these levees. 
There are an additional 1,608.2 miles of authorized 
levees off the main stem, of which 1,110.9 are in place 
with 814.3 to approved grade and section. Berms have 
been completed on 9.8 miles and 800.7 miles of 
graveled or hard-surfaced roads have been constructed 
on the levees. 
For last summary of levee work accomplished under 
Sec. 6, 1928 Flood Control Act, see Table 42-N, pages 
42-50, Annual Report for 1975. 
Mississippi River and Tributaries- 
Channel Improvements 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Dredging: 
Mississippi River Main Stem-(See Table 42-G). 
Work included dredging 36,275,459 cubic yards for 
maintenance of channel and harbor improvements. 
Minimum channel depth of 9 feet was maintained. 
Dredging was done with the following plant: New 
Orleans District, Baton Rouge Harbor (Devil's Swamp) 
was maintained by Unit Price dredge BTD51. 
Vicksburg District, channel maintenance was performed 
by Louis James and leased Dustpan dredge 
Lenel Bean, government-owned Dustpan dredge 
Jadwin and leased cutterhead dredge George D. 
Williams. The MR&T Harbors maintained were 
Greenville and Vicksburg. Memphis District channel 
maintenance dredging was performed by Governmentowned 
dustpan dredges, Burgess & Potter, leased 
cutterhead dredge, Natchez, and leased dustpan dredge, 
Lenel Bean. 
The MR&T Harbor maintained was Memphis Harbor 
(MCKeller Lake). 
Bank revetment and dikes: (See Table 42-H, 42-I, 
42-4

MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION 
and 42-J.) Construction of 11.01 miles of new bank 
revetment and 155,583 squares of concrete mattress, 
for maintenance, along the Mississippi River was completed 
by Government plant and hired labor. Also, 1.51 
miles of new dikes were constructed and 0 squares 
were placed for maintenance. 
In addition, work on tributaries consisted of 1.20 
miles of new bank revetment and 19,646 squares of 
concrete mattress for maintenance. 
Other work performed in the interest of navigation, 
supplementing maintenance dredging on Mississippi 
River between Cairo, IL, and Baton Rouge, LA, included 
removal of snags, wrecks, and obstructions; 
issuance of bulletins by the Vicksburg District providing 
information on available high-water velocities 
at selected locations; maintenance of bulletin boards 
showing daily gage readings at regular MRC gages; 
and contact pilot service furnishing navigation interests 
with latest information and advice on channel conditions 
and navigation interests. Cost of this work is 
given in Table 42-R. 
Condition as of Sep. 30. In carrying out authorized 
channel improvement program between Baton Rouge 
and Cairo, 16 cutoffs were developed between 1933 and 
1942. These, combined with chute channel development 
and alignment improvements, decreased channel length 
between these cities by about 170 miles. However, 
current velocities increased the attack on the banks 
and the river began to regain its length. As a result, the 
net shortening between 1933 and 1962 was 114 miles of 
the theoretical 170-mile cutoff. 
There are now in place 851.69 miles of operative 
bank revetment and 212.22 miles of dikes on the lower 
Mississippi River. This amount of channel stabilization 
should prevent the river from regaining much more of 
its length due to meandering. A navigation channel 
9-by 300-feet is being accomplished by revetment and 
dikes and maintained by dredging as required during 
the low-water season. Due to growing effectiveness of 
channel improvement program, average maintenance 
dredging requirements are steadily being reduced, 
and an increase in navigable depth is being obtained. 
Approximately 99.8 miles of foreshore protection have 
been constructed along the lower Mississippi River. 
There are 67.65 miles of revetment and 5.2 miles of 
dikes on tributary channels as listed in Tables 42-H, 
42-I, and 42-J.
New Orleans District 
ATCHAFALAYA BASIN, LA 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work by hired labor: Real estate activities and planning 
for construction were continued. 
New work by contract: Construction of floodside and 
landside berms and levee enlargement continued intermittently 
on the east and west protection levees, 
although there was considerable delay during the year 
due to exceptionally high water flooding the borrow 
pits. Four contracts on the east protection levee, three 
initiated in prior years and one initiated this period, 
were completed over a distance of 8.1 miles with 
placement of 291,580 cubic yards. An additional 10.6 
miles of levee enlargement and floodside and landside 
berms are under construction on the west protection 
levee involving placement of 1,520,499 cubic yards 
during this period and 3.6 miles of levee enlargement 
and floodside and landside berms on the east protection 
levee with placement of 1,097,401 cubic yards. Contract 
for 5.2 miles of steel sheet piling in the east protection 
levee, initiated this period, is 51 percent complete. 
Contract for the new Tiger Island floodwall, initiated 
in a prior year, was completed Dec. 31, 1984. Contract 
for the new Morgan City floodwall, south of Brashear 
Avenue, initiated in a prior year, was completed Aug. 
16, 1985. Contract for the new Morgan City floodwall, 
north of Brashear Avenue, initiated last fiscal year, is 
76 percent complete. A contract for the Berwick 
floodwall initiated in a prior year was completed Jul. 
16, 1985. Two additional contracts for 4.6 miles of 
floodwall, initiated this period, are under construction 
on the east protection levee. 
Maintenance by hired labor: Operation and maintenance 
of Bayou Boeuf, Berwick, and Bayou Sorrell 
Locks, Morganza Control Structure, and numerous 
drainage structures as required, condition and operation 
studies, and water control management. 
Maintenance by contract: Contract for Goodwood 
levee setback, West Atchafalaya River levee, initiated 
last fiscal year, was completed Nov. 5, 1984.

Rocky Bayou area levee Item 1A was awarded in 
March 1985. Plans and specifications are being 
prepared for levee Item 1B with award scheduled for 
March 1986. Completed backwater levees will require 
raising to provide the degree of protection intended 
based on the project design flow line developed for the 
Mississippi River following the 1973 flood. 
Four Greentree Reservoirs are now complete. Two of 
the three remaining reservoirs will be constructed 
when funds are appropriated. One reservoir has been 
indefinitely delayed because of right-of-way problems. 
Project funds will not be available until FY 85. The 
supply contract for the pumps and motors for the four

Control and Coastal Emergencies) provides authority for 
the Chief of Engineers to undertake disaster preparedness 
activities, flood fighting and rescue work, rehabilitation of 
flood control works damaged or destroyed by flood, 
protection or repair of Federally authorized shore protec- 
.ive works threatened or damaged by coastal storm, 
provision of emergency drinking water, and drought 
assistance. 
Activities. FY 1985, disaster preparedness activities 
included the review and update of existing emergency 
response plans; development of required new plans; 
training of response personnel; exercises to test plans, 
personnel and training; procurement and maintenance of 
critical supplies and equipment not readily available 
during initial response phase; maintenance and required 
upgrade of emergency operations centers; coordination 
with Federal, state and local response agencies and other 
public entities; and overall management of the preparedness 
program. 
The Corps responded to various flood problems across 
the Midwest beginning in January 1985 and continuing 
through May. Flood problems occurred during the entire 
period in the area from the lower Great Lakes to the Ohio 
River Valley. In February and March, problems developed 
along the Mississippi River mainstem and its tributaries. 
The Corps provided technical assistance, flood fighting 
equipment and materials to Federal, state, and local 
entities. After the flood waters receded, the Corps undertook 
necessary investigations and appropriate rehabilitation 
of damaged flood control projects. 
In the South and East, the Corps responded to several 
hurricanes and tropical storms from July through September 
1985. FY 1985 saw four hurricanes strike the USA, 
killing 13 and doing more than $2 billion in damage. 
Hurricane Bob moved across Florida as a tropical storm, 
then hit South Carolina with 75 mph winds on June 25, 
killing one and causing $20 million in damage. Hurricane 
Danny hit Louisiana on August 15 with winds of up to 100 
mph, and later spawned tornadoes in Alabama. Danny 
caused more than $50 million in damage and killed three. 
Hurricane Elena battered the Gulf Coast for several days 
before hitting Mississippi on September 2 with 125 mph 
winds. Over 1-1/2 million people were evacuated, 500,000 
of them twice. Damages exceeded $1 billion, 3 were killed. 
Finally, Hurricane Gloria swept the east coast from North 
Carolina to Maine on September 26-27. Nearly one million 
people were evacuated. There were six deaths and damages 
were more than $1 billion. 
Corps assistance as a result of these major storms 
included flood fight assistance and rehabilitation activities 
under the Corps PL 84-99 emergency authority, and work 
in support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
under its PL 93-288 disaster assistance authority.

CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 
This Commission, consisting of three Corps officers 
appointed by the President with the consent of the 
Senate, created by act of March 1, 1893 (27 Stat. L., p. 
507), was organized in San Francisco, CA, on June 8, 
1893, and has jurisdiction and duties extending over 
drainage area of Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, 
comprising great central valley of California and extending 
from crest of the Sierra Nevada on the east to that of 
the Coast Range on the west, and from Mount Shasta 
and Pit River Basin on the north to Tehachapi Mountains 
on the south. These rivers empty into head of Suisun 
Bay ultimately discharging into Pacific Ocean through 
connecting bays and straits and the Golden Gate. Duties 
of the Commission comprise regulation of hydraulic 
mining in drainage area of Sacramento and San Joaquin 
Rivers, CA, so that debris will not be carried into 
navigable waters or otherwise cause damage; jurisdiction 
over construction and control of water storage 
facilities for domestic, irrigation, and power development 
purposes; and direction of improvements for 
control of floods on Sacramento River.

1. REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC 
MINING AND PREPARATION 
OF PLANS 
Location. Operations largely limited to territory 
between Mount Lassen on the north and Yosemite 
Valley on the south, on western watershed of Sierra 
Nevada. (See Geological Survey sheets for the area, 25 
in number.) 
Existing project. Provides for regulating hydraulic 
mining operations, planning improvement of conditions 
upon Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers and their 
tributaries affected by such operations, and preparation 
of plans to enable hydraulic mining to be resumed in 
their drainage areas. In addition, the Secretary of the 
Army is authorized to enter into contracts to supply 
storage for water and use of outlet facilities from 
debris-storage reservoirs for domestic and irrigation 
purposes and power development upon such conditions 
of delivery, use, and payment as he may approve. 
Applications of prospective miners arefullyinvestigated 
by California Debris Commission and permits to operate 
are issued to those who provide satisfactory debrisrestraining 
basins by construction of suitable dams 
where necessary or agree to make payment for storage 
in Government-constructed debris-restraining reservoirs 
constructed under act of June 19, 1934, as set forth 
below. For location and description of Governmentconstructed, 
debris-restraining reservoirs for general 
hydraulic mining, see Improvement 2. 
Local cooperation. Mineowners must bear all expenses 
incurred in complying with orders of the Commission 
for regulation of mining and restraint of debris. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Minor 
administrative duties were accomplished. Administrative 
work overlaps that of improvements 2, 3, and 4, 
hereunder, and that of Sacramento District. 
Historical summary. The Commission received 1,292 
applications for hydraulic mining licenses; 1 mine is 
licensed, but does not use storage behind Government 
debris dams. Work remaining is, in general, continuation 
of above or similar operations.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
2. SACRAMENTO RIVER AND 
TRIBUTARIES, CA (DEBRIS 
CONTROL) 
Location. Project reservoirs are to be constructed in 
watersheds of Yuba, Bear, and American Rivers, CA 
(See Geological Survey sheets for basin areas, seven in 
number.) 
Existing project. For description of completed North 
Fork and Harry L. Englebright projects and authorizing 
act, see Annual Report for 1975. Initial recreation 
facilities were provided in FY 1959. Recreation areas at 
Harry L. Englebright Dam are maintained by the 
Corps. Recreation areas at North Fork Dam are no 
longer maintained and operated by Auburn Recreation 
Park and Parkway District, but have been turned over 
to the Bureau of Reclamation (known as the Water and 
Power Resources Service between November 6, 1979, 
and May 18, 1981) on a permit basis. Total Federal cost 
of new work for construction of these reservoirs was 
$4,646,872, including $40,000 and $25,000, respectively, 
for basic recreation facilities at Englebright Dam and 
North Fork Dam. Reservoir project sites on Middle 
Fork of American River and on Bear River have been 
deauthorized and excluded from foregoing cost. The 
90-day Congressional project review period, required 
by sec. 12, Public Law 93-251, as amended, ended 
August 5, 1977, and resulted in deauthorization of that 
portion of the project. Estimated cost of that portion is 
$1,820,000 (1935). 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with. Improvements 
made to facilities at North Fork Dam by Auburn 
Recreation Park and Parkway District under a lease 
agreement with the Secretary of the Army and Auburn 
Boat Clubs (concessionaire) at an estimated cost of 
$46,000 since September 1953. On March 1, 1979, lands 
and waters at North Fork Dam were turned over to the 
Bureau of Reclamation on a 5-year renewable basis. On 
March 1, 1984, Permit No. DACWO5-4-79-527 was 
renewed for another 5 years and will be effective until 
February 28, 1989. Bureau will operate and maintain 
such use until Auburn project is completed, then a fee 
transfer will be made. Actual operation and maintenance 
of the recreation resource is being done by State 
of California by contract with the Bureau. 
Licenses. Under provisions of Contract No. W-1105- 
eng-2998 with Pacific Gas and Electric Co., payment is 
to be made to the Federal Government of $18,000 per 
year for the first 30 years (December 29, 1942 through 
December 28, 1972) and $48,000 per year between 
December 29, 1972, and December 28, 1992, in return 
for use of head at Englebright Dam and generation of 
hydroelectric power. Total payment through September 
30, 1985, amounts .to $1,134,393; these funds 
are paid to California Debris Commission and deposited 
for return to the Treasury. License No. 2246, effective 
April 9, 1970 (date New Narrows powerplant put in 
operation) was issued by Federal Power Commission 
(known as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
since January 9, 1978) to Yuba County Water Agency 
for hydroelectric power development of Yuba River by 
the company upstream from Englebright Dam. Under 
provisions of Contract No. DA-04-167-CIVENG-66-95 
with Yuba County Water Agency, payment is to be 
made to the Federal Government of $100,000 per year 
for no more than 50 years. First payment (partial) of 
$73,151 was made April 1, 1971; total payment through 
September 30, 1985, amounts to $1,473,151. These 
funds are paid to Sacramento District and deposited for 
return to the Treasury. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. New 
work: Maintenance: Maintenance and operation activities 
continued at North Fork Dam at a cost of $2,445; 
and at Harry L. Englebright Dam at a cost of $644,655, 
including recreation facilities. Dam safety assurance 
studies were continued at Englebright Dam at a fiscal 
year cost of $204,667. 
Historical summary. Construction of dams was 
initiated in 1937; North Fork project was completed 
and in use at end of FY 1939, and Harry L. Englebright 
project was completed in January 1941. The two debriscontrol 
structures are in good condition. Public use of 
these reservoir recreation areas greatly overtaxes present 
capacities. Dam safety assurance studies were 
initiated at Englebright Dam in FY 1981. 
3. TREATMENT OF YUBA RIVER 
DEBRIS SITUATIONRESTRAINING 
BARRIERS, CA 
Location. Works are on Yuba River between Marysville 
and where the river emerges from the foothills, 
near Hammonton, some 10 miles easterly from Marysville, 
or about 9 miles below the Narrows. (See Geological 
Survey Topographic map of Sacramento Valley, CA) 
Existing project. For description of completed project 
and authorizing act, see Annual Report for 1975. 
Total cost of new work was $723,259, of which $361,482 
was U.S. funds and $361,777 required contributed 
funds by State of California. (For details of project in its 
original form, see Annual Report, 1917, p. 1810.) In 
February 1963, center section of dam failed and major 
rehabilitation of structure was completed in December 
1964. Total cost for required rehabilitation was 
$1,660,000, of which $830,000 was Federal cost and 
$830,000 required contribution by State of California 
toward rehabilitation cost. During the December 24, 
1964, floodflows on the Yuba River, the rehabilitated 
Daguerre Point Dam sustained considerable damage. 
(See 1965 Annual Report, p. 1647 "Operations and 
results during fiscal year.") The reconstructed portion 
of the dam completed earlier in December 1964 was 
undamaged by the flood. Permanent repair of Daguerre 
Point Dam abutment and fish facilities was completed 
in October 1965 at a cost of $447,808 with Federal and 
required State contributed funds on a matching basis. 
Local cooperation. Fully complied with for new 
work and major rehabilitation work. Total first cost to 
44-2

CALIFORNIA DEBRIS COMMISSION 
local interests for new work was $361,777 (required 
contribution by State of California). In addition, training 
walls were built on each bank below Daguerre Point for 
11,250 feet and just above Daguerre Point, on the south 
bank, for 11,000 linear feet by two gold-dredging 
companies in connection with their dredging operations. 
To build these training walls would have cost the 
United States $450,000 (1902 estimate). Flood channels 
were also built by gold-dredging companies within 
confines of project works. Cost to the United States of 
equally effective works to restrain debris movement 
would have been more than $776,000 (1926 estimate). 
Total costs to local interests for initial and permanent 
major rehabilitation works were $830,000 and $223,904, 
respectively, (required contribution by State of California). 
State of California must contribute annually an 
amount equal to the Federal allotment for maintenance. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Maintenance: 
Operations included condition and operation 
studies by hired labor; and bank protection, Yuba 
River, various locations upstream from Marysville 
completed by contract, $7,078. 
Historical summary. Construction of project works 
was initiated in November 1902. Construction of 
Daguerre Point Dam was completed in May 1906; 
diversion of river over dam was completed in 1910; 
training walls and dikes were completed in 1935. About 
149 million cubic yards of debris are held in lower 7 
miles of Yuba River between Marysville and downstream 
end of training walls. About 20 million cubic 
yards are confined in river channel by Daguerre Point 
Dam. Additional millions of yards of loose material are 
in mine tailing fields adjacent to project training walls 
in upper 7-mile reach of project. Initial rehabilitation of 
Daguerre Point Dam begun in July 1963 was completed 
in December 1964. Contract for permanent rehabilitation 
of structure was initiated in July and completed in 
October 1965. 
Flood Control 
4. SACRAMENTO RIVER, CA 
Location. Works covered by this improvement are on 
Sacramento River and tributaries in north-central 
California from Collinsville to Ordbend, a distance of 
184 miles. 
Previous project. For details see page 1815 of 
Annual Report for 1917, page 1995of Annual Report for 
1938, and page 2262 of Annual Report for 1907. 
Existing project. Sacramento River flood control 
project is a comprehensive plan of flood control for 
Sacramento River and lower reaches of its principal 
tributaries. Improvement extends along Sacramento 
River from Ordbend in Glenn County, CA, 184 miles 
downstream to its mouth at Collinsville at upper end of 
Suisun Bay, and comprises a system of levees, overflow 
weirs, drainage pumping plants, and flood bypass 
channels or floodways designed to carry surplus floodwaters 
without inundation of valley lands. About 980 
miles of levee construction, with an average height of 15 
feet, and 98 miles of bank protection are involved in 
project. For further details, see Annual Report for 1962, 
page 2115. (See table 44-B for authorizing legislation.) 
Estimated (October 1985) cost for existing project 
(exclusive of supplemental levee improvements), including 
new work and maintenance, is $169,950,000 of 
which $74,950,000 is Federal cost and $95 million non- 
Federal ($90,050,562 for lands and damages and relocations 
and $4,949,438 required contributed funds for 
levee construction, bank protection works, and levee 
setbacks). Of this amount, $4,939,752 was for new work 
and $9,686 for maintenance. In addition to project 
requirements, local interests constructed several pumping 
plants for drainage of agricultural and urban land 
protected by project levees. Some channel clearing 
work was accomplished by State of California and other 
local interests to supplement project levee construction. 
Dredging below Cache Slough and reconstruction of 
Cache Creek settling basin weir are considered deferred 
and excluded from foregoing cost estimate. Estimated 
cost (July 1962) of these project units is $2,560,000 and 
$520,000, respectively, a total of $3,080,000 plus U.S. 
costs, for construction. Operation and maintenance of 
completed project will be responsibility of local interests; 
as units of project are completed, they are transferred to 
agencies of State of California for operation and maintenance. 
Existing project was adopted by 1917 Flood 
Control Act (H. Doc 81, 62d Cong., 1st sess., as modified 
by Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 5, 63d Cong., 1st 
sess.), 1928 Flood Control Act (S. Doc. 23, 69th Cong., 
1st sess.), River and Harbor Act of 1937 (S. Committee 
print 75th Cong., 1st sess.), and 1941 Flood Control Act 
(H. Doc. 205, 77th Cong., 1st sess.). 
Local cooperation. Local interests have fully complied 
with requirements for all work completed or 
under contract, and indicated they will be able to fulfill 
requirements for remaining work as scheduled. Local 
interest costs from required contributed funds for 
project work total $4,949,438 for levee construction, 
bank protection works, and levee setbacks, of which 
$4,939,752 was for new work and $9,686 for maintenance. 
Operations and results during fiscal year. Regular 
funds: Engineering continued. 
Historical summary. Construction of existing project 
began in FY 1918 and is about 99 percent complete. 
Channel improvement to date has produced a channel 
with a capacity of 579,000 cubic feet per second in 
Sacramento River below Cache Slough. In addition, 
discharges up to 21,000 cubic feet per second can be 
diverted from Sacramento River through Georgiana 
Slough. Completed major project items include about 
977 miles of levees; five weirs with a combined discharge 
capacity of 602,000 cubic feet per second; two cutoff 
channels; two sets of outfall gates: channel improvement 
and clearing in Sacramento River, Butte Creek, Putah 
Creek, and Sutter and Tisdale Bypasses; construction of 
two main bypasses or floodways and secondary bypasses 
at Tisdale and Sacramento weirs and at Wadsworth 
44-3

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1985 
Canal; construction of Knights Landing ridge cut and of 
Cache Creek settling basin; installation of gaging stations; 
and enlargement of Sacramento River below 
Cache Slough. Cutoffs at Collins Eddy and between 
Wild Irishman and Kinneys Bends were made in 1918 
and 1919, respectively. Sacramento weir was completed 
in 1917, Fremont weir in 1924, Tisdale and Moulton 
weirs in 1932, and Colusa weir in 1933. Outfall gates at 
Knights Landing were constructed in 1930 and at 
mouth of Butte Slough in 1936. Pumping plants on 
Sutter Bypass were completed in 1944. Work items 
with reference to clearing, snagging, rectification of 
channels, and bank protection on Sacramento River 
and tributaries in Tehama County and from Red Bluff 
southerly, provided for by 1941 Flood Control Act were 
accomplished in fiscal years 1947, 1948, 1949, and 1951. 
Work remaining comprises completion of levee stage 
construction, Yolo Bypass and Cache Slough. (See table 
44-C for total cost of existing project to September 30, 
1985.)

REGULATION OF HYDRAULIC MINING AND 
PREPARATION OF PLANS 
Created California Debris Commission and authorized: (a) Ex. Doc. 267, 51st Cong., 
Hydraulic mining under its regulation in drainage areas of 2d sess., Ex. Doc. 98, 
Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, if possible without 47th Cong., 1st sess.1 
injury to navigability of these river systems or to lands 
adjacent thereto; and (b) preparation of plans by 
Commission for improvement of navigability of these river 
systems, and flood and debris-control therein. 
Authorized California Debris Commission to permit (Amendment of sec. 13, 
hydraulic mining without construction of impounding Act of Mar. 1, 1893.)' 
works, provided there is no injury to navigability of above 
river systems or lands adjacent thereto. 
Amended act of Mar. 1, 1893, which provides for construction 
of debris dams or other restraining works by California 
Debris Commission and collection of a 3-percent tax on 
gross proceeds of each mine using such facilities, 
so as to eliminate this tax and substitute an annual tax 
per cubic yard mined, obtained by dividing total capital cost 
of each dam, reservoir, and rights-of-way, by total capacity 
of reservoir for restraint of debris; and authorized 
revocation of Commission orders permitting such mining, 
for failure to pay this annual tax within 30 days after its due 
date; and also authorized receipt of money advances, from 
mineowners to aid such construction, to be refunded later 
from annual payments of yardage taxes on material mined. 
Added at end of sec. 23 of above act, a provision that the 
Secretary of the Army is authorized to enter into contracts 
to supply storage for water and use of outlet facilities 
from debris-storage reservoirs for domestic and irrigation 
purposes and power development, upon such conditions of 
delivery, use, and payment as he may approve, these 
payments are to be deposited to credit of such reservoir 
project, reducing its capital cost to be repaid by tax 
on mining operations.

U. S. ARMY ENGINEER WATERWAYS 
EXPERIMENT STATION 
Organization and functions. The Waterways 
Experiment Station (WES) is a field operating agency 
of the Chief of Engineers operating under the staff 
supervision of the Director, Research and Development. 
COL Allen F. Grum, Corps of Engineers, is 
Director. Dr. Robert W. Whalin, PE, is Technical 
Director. 
WES, the Corps of Engineers largest laboratory 
complex for research, testing, and development, consists 
of five technical laboratories: Hydraulics, Geotechnical, 
Structures, Environmental, and Coastal Engineering 
Research Center. The Hydraulics Laboratory, the largest 
laboratory of its kind in the world, uses a wide range 
of working models and computer-based numerical 
models for research and analysis of dams, levees, river 
and harbor projects, soil and streambank erosion, 
thermal pollution, etc. The Geotechnical Laboratory 
conducts research in soil mechanics, structural foundation 
design, embankment design and slope stability, 
seepage analysis, military pavements, engineering 
geology, rock mechanics, expedient surfacing, earthquake 
engineering, and mobility and trafficability. The 
Structures Laboratory uses theoretical, analytical, 
experimental, and modeling approaches to research the 
effects of nuclear and nonnuclear explosions, the 
response of structures to natural and explosive disturbances, 
and various construction materials with 
emphasis on concrete, especially the testing, repair, and 
preservation of existing concrete structures. The 
Environmental Laboratory researches the problems 
caused by man's activities with respect to the environment. 
Research programs include Dredged Material, 
Aquatic Plant Control, Environmental and Water 
Quality Operational Studies, Environmental Impact, 
Wetlands, and the Natural Resources Research Program. 
These and other programs of the Environmental 
Laboratory range through waste management, environmental 
regulations, and military aspects of terrain 
and camouflage. The Coastal Engineering Research 
Center conceives, plans, and conducts research and data 
collection in coastal/ocean engineering and nearshore 
oceanography to: provide a better understanding of 
waves, winds, water levels, tides, and currents; provide 
scientific and engineering data and design criteria; and 
determine the effects of the coastal activities of the 
Corps of Engineers which are important to environmental 
considerations in the coastal zone. 
WES Laboratories are engaged in research and 
engineering investigations in support of the civil and 
military missions of the Chief of Engineers. On a 
reimbursable basis, WES performs basic and applied 
research, develops state-of-the-art methods and techniques, 
tests materials and equipment, and provides 
consulting services. Subject to the approval of the Chief 
of Engineers, studies and investigations may be undertaken 
for agencies outside the Department of the Army. 
WES maintains an extensive scientific and engineering 
reference library to serve the specialized needs 
of the Corps of Engineers and issues publications of 
general interest; operates DoD Information Analysis 
Centers in the fields of Pavements and Soils Trafficability, 
Concrete Technology, Hydraulic Engineering, 
Soils Mechanics, and Coastal Engineering; and maintains 
the Corps of Engineers Engineering Computer 
Programs Library. 
During Fiscal Year 1985, 217 WES numbered reports 
of individual studies conducted at or for WES, 9 
instructional reports, and 55 unnumbered publications 
(conference reports, special study reports, etc.) for WES 
and other offices were printed and distributed to Corps 
offices and interested outside agencies. 
Operations and results during the period. Work 
accomplished at WES is, in general, initially financed 
by the Corps of Engineers Revolving Fund, with direct 
reimbursement from agencies requesting research 
investigations and related services. The Station's total 
program during Fiscal Year 1985 was $114,290,000 
which included $41,522,000 performed by contract. Of 
the total program $59,730,000 was oriented toward the 
civil sector and $54,560,000 to military. The plant 
replacement and improvement program was $4,920,990 
for this period.

PERMANENT INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NAVIGATION CONGRESSES 
(PIANC) 
The Permanent International Association of Navigation 
Congresses (PIANC) is an international organization with 
headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. It is a clearinghouse 
where engineers and port operators of the nations of the 
world exchange views and experiences on problems 
relating to ocean and inland navigation improvements. Its 
objective is broadly stated "to promote the progress of 
inland and maritime navigation." 
In 1902, the United States appropriated $3,000 annually 
for support and maintenance of the Permanent International 
Commission of Congresses of Navigation and for 
payment of the actual expenses of properly accredited 
national delegates of the United States to meetings of the 
Congresses and Commissions. An increase in the appropriation 
to $5,000 annually was authorized by the 1948 River 
and Harbor Act and an appropriation of $22,000 annually 
by the 1965 River and Harbor Act. The currenit appropriation 
of $45,000 was authorized by the 1974 Water Resources 
Development Act. Of this amount, an annual 
subvention of about $6,900 is paid by the U.S. Section to 
the International Association in Brussels, Belgium. 
The objective of the Association - to promote the 
progress of inland and maritime navigation - is met by 
holding International Congresses and publishing technical 
bulletins and other documents. The Congresses are held in 
various member countries, usually at four-year intervals. 
The Association is supported principally by member 
governments, but membership also extends to corporations 
and to individuals. Member governments are represented 
at the Congresses and at meetings of the Permanent 
International Commission by delegates, the number 
of official delegates to be determined by the amount of the 
annual subvention paid by the government, but not to 
exceed ten in number. Corporate members may send one 
official representative to the Congresses. Currently, the 
Permanent International Commission has 37 countries 
represented. Individual membership is of two classses - 
Annual and Life - depending on the method of payment 
of dues. There are 1,489 annual international members, 
609 life members, and 690 corporate members, for a total 
of 2,788. Membership of the U.S. Section on May 31,1985, 
totaled 637, consisting of 113 life members, 426 individual 
members, and 98 corporate members. 
The affairs of the Association are managed by the 
Permanent International Commission composed of delegates 
from the supporting governments. The National 
Commission constitutes the governing body of the U.S. 
Section and the U.S. members of the Permanent International 
Commission. The Director of Civil Works, Office of 
the Chief of Engineers, US Army, and the Commander and 
Director, Water Resources Support Center, are the exofficio 
Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the 
National Commission. The Secretary handles all administrative 
matters of the U.S. Section. 
During fiscal year 1985, National Commissioners were: 
Major General John F. Wall, USA, ex-officio Chairman; 
Colonel George R. Kleb, CE, ex-officio Secretary; Mr. J. 
Ron Brinson; Mr. Harry N. Cook; Mr. John A. Downs; Mr. 
James M. Goldston; Rear Admiral John Paul Jones, USN; 
Mr. John Pisani; Mr. Jack E. Ravan; and the Honorable 
William A. Vaughan. 
Lieutenant General John W. Morris, USA (Ret.) is an 
honorary Vice President of PIANC, having served two 
terms as a Vice President. Major General Charles G. Holle, 
USA (Ret.), Secretary-General, XXth International Navigation 
Congress, 1961, is ex-officio member of the Permanent 
International Commission. 
The Annual meeting of the Permanent International 
Commission (PIC) and the XXVI Congress, commemorating 
the 100th Anniversary of PIANC, was held in Brussels, 
Belgium, June 16-28, 1985, and was attended by all National 
Commissioners. Lieutenant General E. R. Heiberg

INVESTIGATION OF PROJECTS UNDER FEDERAL POWER ACT 
The Federal Water Power Act of June 10, 1920, created 
the Federal Power Commission (in 1977 renamed the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC) composed 
of the Secretaries of War, Interior, and Agriculture, with 
authority to grant permits and licenses for hydroelectric 
development in all water over which Congress has jurisdiction. 
The act further required that work of the commission 
be performed by and through the Departments of War, 
Interior and Agriculture and their engineering, technical, 
and other personnel except as may be otherwise provided 
by law. By an act of June 23, 1930, entitled "An Act to 
Reorganize the Federal Power Commission," Secs. 1 and 2 
of the Federal Water Power Act of 1920 were amended. A 
commission was provided for, to be composed of five 
commissioners to be appointed by the President, by and 
with the advice and consent of the Senate. The necessity of 
performing work through the Department of War, Interior 
and Agriculture was removed and the commission was 
authorized to appoint such officers and employees as 
necessary in executing its function. By Title II, Public 
Utility Act of 1935, the original Federal Water Power Act 
was made Part I of the Federal Power Act, and Parts II and 
III were added to that Act. On October 1, 1977, pursuant 
to the provisions of the Department of Energy Organization 
Act (DOE Act), Public Law 59-91 Stat. (August 4, 
1977) and Executive Order No. 12009, 42 Fed. Reg. 46267 
(September 15, 1977), the Federal Power Commission 
ceased to exist and its functions and regulatory responsibilities 
were transferred to the Secretary of Energy and 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) 
which, as an independent commission within the Department 
of Energy was activated on October 1, 1977. 
Section 4(e) of the Federal Power Act provides that no 
water power license affecting navigable capacity of any 
navigable waters of the United States shall be issued until 
plans of the dam or other structures affecting navigation 
have been approved by the Chief of Engineers and the 
Secretary of the Army. By an action, notice of which was 
published in the Federal Register Volume 40, Number 74, 
dated April 16, 1975, the Secretary of the Army delegated 
to the Chief of Engineers his authority under Sec. 4(e) of 
the Federal Power Act. The Chief of Engineers on September 
5, 1980 delegated to the Corps division engineers 
the authority for Section 4(e) approval of plans for non- 
Federal hydropower development affecting navigation. 
The following work of an engineering nature was accomplished 
by the Corps division and district offices under 
the direction of the Chief of Engineers during the fiscal 
year: 920 applications from non-Federal entities for 
planning, design, construction and operation of hydropower 
projects were reviewed and appropriate recommendations 
in the interest of flood control, navigation, and 
structural safety, relative to Corps projects, were furnished 
to the FERC. Of the total 920 applications, 103 applications 
were specifically for hydropower development at the 
existing Corps projects. Recommendations were furnished 
to the Commission concerning the impact of hydroelectric 
power development on the existing and proposed Federal 
water resources projects. Recommendations also were 
provided to the Commission on the environmental impacts 
of constructing power plant(s) at either proposed or 
existing projects. 
To date, there are 34 constructed non-Federal power 
plants at Corps projects with a total capacity of 1,227 MW. 
Non-Federal entities had 7 power plants under construction 
at Corps projects during the fiscal year, and had 14 
licensed power plants in final design stages. The Corps 
bills FERC licensees for the costs incurred by the Corps in 
approving final design, plans and construction of power 
plants at Corps projects. In FY 1985 the total cost reimbursement 
to the Corps for this service was $553,538. 
Review of license applications is funded by the Corps as a 
line item in the General Investigation Account. In FY 85, 
the cost for this pre-licensing activity was $732,124.

REGULATORY, SUNKEN VESSEL REMOVAL & 
NATIONAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ACTIVITIES 
1. Regulatory Activities 
Authorities. The following authorities charge the Corps 
of Engineers with the regulation of various water-related 
construction activities: Sections 9 and 10 of the River and 
Harbor Act of 1899 (structures in an alteration of waterways, 
e.g. boat docks); Section 103 of the Marine Protection 
and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (ocean dumping); and 
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (discharge of dredged 
and fill material). 
Work Completed. During FY 1985, the Corps received 
approximately 14,000 applications for permits and issued 
7,000 permits and 2,400 letters of permission. In addition 
about 20,000 activities were authorized by regional or 
statewide permits which did not require individual applications 
from the public. Many thousands of other minor 
activities were authorized by the Corps' nationwide 
permits. The Corps discovered or was notified of a total of 
4,500 alleged violations to be investigated. 
In FY 1985 the Corps continued its efforts toward 
regulatory reform based on a May 7, 1982, directive from 
the President's Task Force on Regulatory Relief. By the 
end of FY 1985, actions to streamline the Corps' procedures 
had reduced average permit application processing 
time to 75 days compared with 119 days at the end of FY 
1982.

2. Investigation and Removal of Sunken Vessels 
Under the authority of Sections 19 and 20 of the River 
and Harbor Act of 1899, the Corps of Engineers investigated 
sunken vessels in navigable waters and removed 
those obstructing navigation. For obligations expenditures, 
see Table 48-B. 
3. National Emergency Preparedness Activities 
Authority. Executive Order 11490, as amended, assigns 
responsibilities to executive departments and agencies to 
undertake national emergency planning and preparedness 
to develop an effective national capability to meet essential 
civilian and defense needs during major domestic 
emergencies and national security emergencies. 
Status: During FY 1985, the Corps of Engineers continued 
its efforts to improve its readiness posture and 
ability to respond to various national emergencies. Emphasis 
was placed on the initiation of program activities 
that require a long-term commitment of resources. These 
activities included regional macro-analysis of mobilization 
requirements and resources: maintenance of, planning for 
and development of emergency facilities to support 
continuity of operations: and, planning to meet the nation's 
water resources requirements during a national 
emergency. In the latter case, Executive Order 11490 has 
tasked the Corps of Engineers to be the Executive Agency 
responsible for emergency water planning. 
Significant strides were made in the development of 
preparedness guidance and execution plans at all levels. 
While the efforts undertaken identified additional 
shortfalls or problems to be addressed, the Corps program 
continues to move towards the goal of ensuring a national 
engineering and construction capability that can respond 
to any national emergency. For fiscal year obligations and 
expenditures see Table 48-C.

INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY WATERS BOARDS 
In order to carry out United States obligations under 
international agreements, the Office of the Chief of 
Engineers and several Corps Divisions and Districts with 
jurisdiction over areas bordering Canada have representation 
on numerous international boards and committees. 
The majority of these boards were established by the 
International Joint Commission (IJC) as empowered in 
accordance with the provisions of the Boundary Waters 
Treaty of 1909 between the United States and Great 
Britain (for Canada). IJC boards fall into two broad 
categories: boards of control, which are more or less 
permanent and supervise compliance over an IJC order; 
and engineering or technical boards, which are usually 
dissovled after completing and reporting on an investigation 
assignment. In addition to boards created by the 
Commission, other international boards and committees 
are created by treaties or other informal arrangement in 
matters concerned with the water resources of joint 
interest, and the members report directly to the Governments 
or establishing agency. International boundary 
waters boards and committees having Corps of Engineer 
memberships during the fiscal year are listed in Table 49- 
1. For an explanation of the constitution of the various 
boards and committees, see the FY 77 and FY 80 annual

U.S. ARMY CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING RESEARCH LABORATORY 
Organization and functions. The U.S. Army Construction 
Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) is a 
field operating agency of the Chief of Engineers operating 
under the supervision of the Chief, Directorate of 
Research and Development. CERL, which is located in 
Champaign, IL, was officially dedicated on July 25, 
1969, and is one of the Corps' four major laboratories. 
The laboratory is closely affiliated with the University 
of Illinois, sharing laboratory, library, computer, and 
personnel resources with the University. Colonel Paul 
J. Theuer, Corps of Engineers, is Commander and 
Director. 
CERL research programs are oriented toward the 
support of the total Army, the Army in garrison, the 
military installation, the Department of Defense, and 
the nation as a whole. The laboratory, which has base 
support, combat support, and civil works missions, is 
engaged in a construction research program designed to 
improve planning, design, construction, operation, and 
maintenance of a variety of Army facilities. The ultimate 
goal of the overall research effort is to create 
products that will save the Army resources. Research 
findings are transmitted directly to the field, as well as 
to private industry and the academic community. 
Within the Corps, research supports both military and 
civil works projects in the general areas of environmental 
quality, energy, materials, engineering management, 
and military engineering. 
In the area of environmental quality, CERL has developed 
a broad-based program designed to maintain 
military readiness standards, while still conforming to 
environmental quality regulations. These programs 
have included development of methods to predict 
noise impacts, water and air pollution control techniques, 
adaptations of currently used technologies to 
more stringent fluid and solid waste control, and computerized 
methods to cut the time and costs involved 
in environmental impact assessment. 
Energy research is oriented toward helping the 
Army meet its energy conservation goals. These projects 
include development of computer simulation 
technology for selection of more fuel-efficient energy 
systems and design methods and exploration of alternative 
fuel sources like solar energy and biomass. 
CERL's materials program is designed to lower the 
Army's costs for construction, modification, operation, 
and maintenance of its facilities. These projects include 
investigations on protective coatings, polymer technology, 
seismic criteria, quality monitoring systems, and 
materials syntheses and selection programs. 
CERL supports the Army decision-maker through 
its engineering management programs that are designed 
to increase facility efficiency and productivity. The development 
of automated data processing systems for 
management information, cost estimating, profit determination, 
architecture and design, corrosion mitigation, 
pavement management, housing contract maintenance, 
and habitability information have helped reduce costs 
throughout the military. 
CERL's military engineering program provides direct 
support to the battlefield engineer and to the maintenance 
of military readiness. This research has developed 
training aids, field-protective structures to increase 
combat survivability, and methods to enhance the effectiveness 
of operations during combat situations. In 
mobilization, CERL research has led to the development 
of planning systems to evaluate installation troop 
housing and other requirements, and to the development 
of low-cost, troop constructible foam shelters for 
use as emergency housing during the critical early 
stages of mobilization. 
During Fiscal Year 1985, USA-CERL produced 160 
publications, of which 63 were technical reports, 15 
were Army-level publications, and 82 were publications 
presented in the public domain. In addition, 
USA-CERL personnel presented 51 papers at scientific 
meetings. USA-CERL personnel prepared and presented 
17 training programs in areas such as corrosion, 
automated specification editing and energy conservation. 
Operations and results during the period. Work 
performed during Fiscal Year 1985 was funded both 
directly and through reimbursable programs. USACERL's 
total program was $37.0 million, of which 
$13.9 million was direct RDT&E funding and $12.2 
million was reimbursable funding from the Office of 
the Chief of Engineers and Corps Divisions and 
Districts. Other Federal agencies, such as the Air 
Force, Navy, Federal Aviation Administration, and 
Environmental Protection Agency accounted for 
$10.9 million.

U.S. ARMY ENGINEER TOPOGRAPHIC LABORATORIES 
Organization and functions. The U.S. Army Engineer 
Topographic Laboratories (ETL) began during World War 
I as a temporary Engineer Detachment, formed to test 
aerial photography for topographic mapping. Since that 
time, ETL has grown into a sophisticated, modern research 
and development laboratory, applying the latest advances 
in electronics, computer data processing, space sciences, 
and related technologies to military and civil problems in 
mapping, surveying, land navigation, and geodesy. ETL is 
now a field operating activity of the Corps of Engineers 
commanded by Colonel Alan L. Laubscher. 
The Engineer Topographic Laboratories is the only 
defense research and development laboratory that addresses 
the full range of development from basic research to a 
final product in the topographic sciences. Support is 
provided to both the Military and Civil Works elements of 
the Corps and to the Army Materiel Command, Army 
Space Program Office, Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency, and the Defense Mapping Agency. To provide 
this support, ETL is organized into five operational 
elements, three of which are developmental laboratories. 
The Geographic Sciences Laboratory performs research 
and development associated with the extraction and 
presentation of geographic data for the Army in the field. 
The Topographic Developments Laboratory supports 
technological development in surveying and mapmaking. 
The Computer Sciences Laboratory develops advanced 
computer techniques and systems for processing, analyzing, 
and displaying topographic data derived from digital 
photography. The Research Institute performs most of the 
Laboratories' basic and applied research, and the Terrain 
Analysis Center prepares terrain studies needed by field 
Army elements, as directed by the Assistant Chief of Staff 
of the Army for Intelligence. During FY 85 copies of 35 
ETL reports on individual studies conducted at or for ETL 
were distributed to Corps' offices and interested outside 
agencies. 
In recent years, the emphasis of ETL's research and 
development program has shifted from conventional 
mapmaking and surveying equipment and related 
techniques to new topographic data systems, which are 
required to support the coming generation of complex 
weapons systems and military geographic information 
systems required by field commanders for improved 
command, control, communications, and intelligence. The 
new systems frequently use data acquired by remote 
sensing, and much of the work done at ETL involves this 
technology. Several projects are investigating the types of 
data derived from sensors and means for exploiting those 
data. Central to this work are studies regarding the 
possibilities of automating image interpretation. Research 
in pattern recognition theory and artificial intelligence 
methodologies offers long-range promise toward this 
objective. Meanwhile, the extension of manual photo 
analysis to create knowledge-based/expert software 
indicates near-term improvements to interactive computer-
assisted photo interpretation. The knowledge gained in 
these areas will be applicable not only to the mapping and 
terrain analysis missions of ETL, but also to the Army 
thrust of teleoperated and autonomous robotic vehicles. 
Other work is to investigate the digital processing of 
remotely sensed data and to define remote sensing inputs 
required for Army terrain graphics and terrain data bases. 
In addition, a Remote Sensing Consultant conducts short 
courses on remote sensing for Corps of Engineers and 
other government personnel. 
Operations and results during FY 85. The ETL's total 
program for FY 85 was $47,830,000. This included work 
done for other agencies as well as for the Corps of 
Engineers. Of this total program, $32,037,000 supported 
work performed by contract. Work in FY 85 included 
$232,000 charged to civil works funds. 
Civil works efforts in FY 85 focused on developing and 
demonstrating new survey techniques and equipment for 
use by Districts and Divisions. Scientists evaluated the use 
of Global Positioning System survey equipment for establishing 
control stations and performing other precise 
survey jobs. They established new techniques for using a 
north-seeking gyro to measure azimuths. Researchers also 
advised Corps officials on the use of lab-developed dam 
monitoring techniques, began work on a new technique for 
computing dredge volumes, and investigated the use of 
low-cost digital image analysis equipment for detecting 
permit violations in areas under the Corps' protection.

U.S. ARMY COLD REGIONS RESEARCH 
AND ENGINEERING LABORATORY 
Background. The U.S. Army Cold Regions Research 
and Engineering Laboratory (USACRREL), located 
in Hanover, New Hampshire, was created in 
January 1961. It merged the Snow, Ice and Permafrost 
Research Establishment (created in 1949) and 
the Arctic Construction and Frost Effects Laboratory 
(created in 1953), both of which were outgrowths 
of the Army's World War II experience in 
Alaska, Iceland and Greenland. 
The Laboratory's mission is to conduct and coordinate 
research and technology applicable to the Army's 
needs in those geographic areas of the world 
where cold presents a problem. 
The total authorized strength of USACRREL is 296 
(278 civilian and 18 military), with a budget for FY85 
of $25 million. USACRREL has six main buildings in 
Hanover (which total 284,000 square feet on 31 acres 
of land), including the main laboratory, the ice engineering 
facility, the logistics and supply building, the 
plant and equipment building, the equipment storage 
building and the frost effects research facility. 
USACRREL maintains a presence in Alaska at facilities 
located at Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks. Applied 
cold regions research, appropriate to the Alaska 
location, is carried out by CRREL researchers. Facilities 
available include six buildings (totaling 30,000 
square feet) and a permafrost tunnel (360-ft shaft 
drilled into frozen ground). 
USACRREL's basic and applied research covers a 
broad spectrum of cold regions studies. Basic research 
includes work in the physical, mechanical and 
chemical properties of snow and other forms of frozen 
precipitation, freshwater ice, sea ice and frozen 
ground. Basic research supports applied research in 
the major cold regions mission areas of Fire Support, 
Combat Support, Combat Service Support, Base 
Support, Flood Control and Navigation, Surveying 
and Remote Sensing, Civil Works Environmental 
Quality and Civil Works Construction, and Operation 
and Maintenance. Major Civil Works cold regions 
research topics include Ice Engineering, River 
Ice Management, Cold Regions Hydrology, Remote 
Sensing, and Environmental Impact. 
As the only Federal laboratory dedicated to cold 
regions research, USACRREL has an international 
reputation and maintains close ties with the international 
research community and with Federal and 
state agencies where it provides consulting services on 
a reimbursable basis. As the center of cold regions 
scientific and engineering expertise for the Corps of 
Engineers, USACRREL supports Corps districts and 
divisions by publishing field engineering reports, conducting 
demonstrations, sponsoring technical seminars 
for field engineers, and by making field visits to 
consult on engineering problems. 
Operations and Results During FY85. During 
FY85, USACRREL published and distributed 339 scientific 
and engineering reports (CRREL Reports; 
Monographs; Special Reports; Technical Notes; 
Technical Digests and information bulletins; journal 
articles; conference papers and abstracts; Corps, DA 
and other government publications; and books and 
nongovernment publications), contributed to 20 U.S. 
Army publications and presented 33 technical seminars 
and meetings. 
CRREL personnel consulted with divisions and districts 
on a broad range of topics and problems, including 
Ice Engineering and Remote Sensing and the 
SPOT Simulation evaluation. Also, prototype sensor 
packages have been installed and interfaced within 
the St. Paul, Detroit and Pittsburgh Corps districts 
using near-real time collection systems. A total of 415 
One-Stop Consulting Services were performed in 
FY85. 
The CRREL River Ice Management Program began 
in FY83. Included in the RIM start was the initiation 
of the development of an ice forecasting model. 
FY85 accomplishments in RIM included the analysis 
of data collected along a 25-mile test reach on the 
Ohio River. The analysis indicates that freezingdegree-
days are the driving input to forecasting ice 
conditions. This year the test reach on the Ohio was 
extended over 400 miles, from Pittsburgh to Meldahl 
lock and dam. Also underway is an analysis of Landsat 
images for mapping ice conditions on the Mississippi, 
Illinois and Ohio rivers. 
CRREL is directly supporting the upcoming basing 
of light infantry divisions at Ft. Drum, N.Y. An assistance 
group has been established to provide technical 
points of contact to assure that the most up-todate 
cold regions facilities technology is made available 
to Army construction agencies for these new facilities. 
CRREL is maintaining close contact with the 
Ft. Drum DEH, New York District, and participating 
architect-engineer firms. Consultations have been 
provided on design of wastewater treatment plant, 
heating plant and distribution system, roofing systems, 
including roofing type and snow load criteria, 
and paving system. 
In response to the Army's heightened concern over 
the winter battlefield and to expand the critical task 
of identifying customer requirements for CRREL's 
military R&D program, staff visits to all 13 TRADOC 
schools were made. From these visits it was deter- 
S.1

mined that 90% of our programs were addressing the 
TRADOC mission area deficiencies. Also as a result 
of these visits, a number of programming changes 
were made, particularly in the area of winter camouflage 
and robotics on the winter battlefield. Along 
similar lines during FY85, an Army regulation was 
drafted making the Ad Hoc Winter Warfare Committee 
established by CRREL several years ago into 
the U.S. Army Winter Warfare Board, an official 
Army panel on cold regions warfare doctrine. Also 
noteworthy among the FY85 accomplishments is 
CRREL's support to the Air Force in the reconnaissance 
of 33 sites in Canada and Alaska for the 
USAF North Warning System.

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS WATER RESOURCES SUPPORT CENTER 
The Water Resources Support Center (WRSC), under 
the staff supervision of the Director of Civil Works, 
Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is commanded 
by Colonel George R. Kleb. The Center is located 
at the Humphreys Engineer Center, Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Its 
divisions are the Institute for Water Resources. Dredging 
Division, Data Collection and Management Division, 
Publications and Training Division, and Office of Budget 
and Management Support. Elements managed by the 
Center in other locations include the Hydrologic Engineering 
Center at Davis, California; the Marine Design Branch 
of the Dredging Division at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and 
the Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center of the Data 
Collection and Management Division at New Orleans, 
Louisiana. The accomplishments of WRSC during 1985 are 
given by division. 
Video Disc 
WRSC-C is the program manager for the interagency 
emergency operations video disc prototype system which 
was deployed for test and evaluation in the fall 1985. This 
cooperative program involves Chief of Engineers Civil 
Works Operations and Readiness Division (DAEN-CWO), 
Southwestern Division (SWD), Lower Mississippi Valley 
Division (LMVD), Federal Emergency Management Agency 
(FEMA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United 
States Coast Guard. 
The objective is to provide the capabilities to transfer 
geographically related emergency operation data in nearreal-
time between Corps elements and other Federal, 
state, and local organizations for improved emergency 
management coordination. The system integrates "off the 
shelf," low cost video disc, microcomputers, graphics, and 
telecommunications technologies. Other applications for 
storage and retrieval of map products, training and briefing 
systems,. as a subsystem for information network, are 
being explored. 
Remote Sensing 
WRSC conducted the Corps 5th Remote Sensing Symposium 
held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, October 28-30, 1985. 
It was hosted by the North Central Division and there was 
an attendance of 325 people and 90 papers presented. The 
Southwestern Division has accepted to host the 6th Corps 
Remote Sensing to be held in Galveston, Texas, fall 1987. 
The Administration transfered the LANDSAT Civil Land 
Satellite System to the Private Sector in September 1985. 
WRSC is beginning discussions with EOSAT, the company 
awarded the contract, to develop terms of agreement for 
satellite data. 
Water Control Data Systems 
The Corps use of the Geostationary Operational Environmental 
Satellite (GOES) data collection system (DCS) 
continues to increase significantly. The number of data 
collection platforms installed or authorized to operate on 
this system through FY 1985 totaled 1,898. A major 
procurement of several minicomputers dedicated to water 
control, occurred in 1985. With the advent of these dedicated 
computers and the receipt of realtime data through 
the GOES DCS, water control management of Corps 
projects is becoming increasingly automated. The 
cooperative stream gaging program with the U.S. Geological 
Survey, automated in 1982, and tested in 1983 was fully 
operational for the 1985 program. 
Telecommunications Planning 
Telecommunications is one of the most important 
resources in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
operational functions. Today, the technological opportunities 
and the effects of deregulation together with 
increasing costs and dependencies has created a need for 
a centralized planning function within the USACE to 
formulate a more coherent and integrated plan for utilization 
of the resource. In 1985, WRSC-C was tasked to 
establish a telecommunications planning organization 
responsible for developing and recommending a clear 
direction for mangement control and to formulate 
guidelines to ensure a more integrated and cost effective 
approach to implementation and management of telecommunications 
systems and networks within the agency. 
Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center 
The Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center (WCSC) 
has accomplished several significant milestones during CY 
1985. WCSC has implemented a new reporting form and 
instructions which simplifies the reporting and improves 
the accuracy of waterborne commerce statistics. 
WCSC has established a remote dial-up capability which 
allows Corps offices to log on to WCSC's computer system. 
Several Corps districts have downloaded files from 
WCSC's computer to their IBM PC's. WCSC plans to 
develop standard queries which will allow Corps offices to 
extract data directly from WCSC's data base. 
WCSC has developed the computer software to create a 
public domain data base using the "Rule of Three." The 
"Rule of Three" requires that for any given commodity at 
least three vessel operating companies move the commodity 
from at least three loading facilities in the area of origin 
to at least three unloading facilities in the area of destination. 
WCSC is now trying to define a set of geographic 
areas that will result in a meaningful and useful public 
domain data set while maintaining the confidentiality of 
individual company's movements. The schedule is to have 
a public domain data base by the end of FY 86. 
The transition of data collection function from the 
Corps District to WCSC's contractor has been completed. 
Only the data collection in the Ohio River Division (ORD) 
is still collected by district personnel; Huntington District 
collects the ORD data. 
Future plans include improvement of WCSC's communications 
capability to facilitate remote data access at faster 
baud rates. WCSC will be receiving a new Harris 1000 
computer system in FY 86 which will provide better 
response times and improve WCSC's data base 
capabilities. WCSC will be creating data bases containing 
preliminary data which will allow for earlier, more timely 
estimates of waterborne traffic and tonnage.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1986 
Port Facilities Branch 
The Port Facilities Branch collects and publishes data 
on the physical characteristics of the coastal, Great Lakes, 
and inland waterway ports of the United States. Fifty-six 
port series reports are published at intervals of approximately 
six to eight years, covering 190 port areas. 
During the calendar year 1985, 6 reports covering 25 
port areas were published and offered for sale. 
No. 1 - Portland and Searsport, ME, and Portsmouth, NH 
No. 8 - Philadelphia, PA; Camden, NJ; Wilmington, DE; 
and Ports on Delaware River 
No. 23 - Galveston and Texas City, TX 
No. 28 - Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Port Hueneme, CA 
No. 34 - Portland, OR 
No. 64 - Minneapolis, MN, and Ports on Upper Mississippi 
River Miles 300-860 AOR. 
INSTITUTE FOR WATER RESOURCES 
Navigation Division 
The Navigation Division was formed in 1983 by combining 
the Navigation Analysis Center and the National 
Waterways Study staff. The Navigation Division supports 
Corps planners by development and maintenance of 
transportation planning data bases on waterway carriers, 
other transportation modes, and commodity movements; 
development of analytical capabilities; and dissemination 
of technical information and advice with regard to use of 
navigation data and analytical techniques. The division 
also conducts policy studies and. performs reimbursable 
and research studies for HQ, USACE and field offices. 
One of the important data bases is the lock Performance 
Monitoring System (PMS), which contains information of 
Corps lock operations on the inland waterways. This data 
base enables Corps personnel to study lock operation and 
performance; to determine methods, benefits, and costs of 
improving the waterway system; to monitor traffic and 
commodities moving on the inland waterways; and to 
monitor conditions that could affect traffic flow. 
The Navigation Division led Corps efforts to develop and 
test methodologies for evaluating the economic and 
financial leverage from competing ports on any given 
coastal port. This information increases the ability of local 
ports to design and implement practical and feasible cost 
recovery policies. It also systematically identifies elements 
of land side transportation infrastructure that contributes 
to each port's natural tributary area. These procedures are 
being tested in several field studies to determine costs and 
implementability. A draft manual combining significant 
economic and engineering attributes of non-deepening 
alternatives which facilitate loading and unloading of deep 
draft vessels has been developed. 
Vessel operating costs (ocean and inland), waterway and 
tow characteristics, and commodity and other economic 
projections are maintained to support various navigation 
systems studies. The Navigation Division has developed 
computer models to estimate economic development 
which would occur due to water resource and navigation 
projects, and supports the navigation user charge data 
base, which is used to estimate impacts of various cost 
recovery policies and strategies. 
Policy Studies 
The Policy Studies Division provides analysis and 
decision support on critical policy issues for the Director 
of Civil Works through investigations in policy development, 
program management and evaluations methods, and 
new missions and strategic planning. Fiscal Year 1985 
work included studies of the clarity and effectiveness of 
O&M requirements for local protection projects, the future 
of intergovernmental relations and the USACE, state 
institutional arrangements affecting agreements for costshared 
planning and project financing, access to Performance 
Monitoring System (PMS) lock statistics, the 
potential role for the Civil Works planner in mobilization, 
and cost-shared study management. 
Other work included various support activities for 
elements of OCE and the field. These included support to 
the Chief of Engineer's Green Ribbon Panel implementation 
work group on programming and budgeting issues, 
support to Corps professional hydrologic engineers, 
support for the Chesapeake Bay Forum sponsored by the 
Secretary of the Army, classroom instruction on a variety 
of subjects to the Planning Associates at the Board of 
Engineers for River and Harbors and others, an analysis of 
potential impacts of pending legislation on the Civil Works 
program, and a financial and cost recovery analysis for 
Oregon Inlet, N.C. 
Additionally, the division provided similar support to 
interagency efforts. These included planning and conducting 
co-sponsored meetings between the Corps and the 
Interstate Conference on Water Problems, facilitation of 
high level interagency meetings for the Federal Preparedness 
Guide on Emergency Water Planning, support for the 
national high school debates on national water policy, as 
well as support to the United Nations Economic and Social 
Commission for Asia and the Pacific. 
Research Division 
The Research Division work in FY 1985 included 
development of a water demand forecasting model for use 
in water supply and conservation studies, development of 
a contingent valuation methodology for recreation assessment, 
and Deep Draft Evaluation procedures. Work 
continues in the areas of economic and demographic 
forecasting, economic effects of lock congestion, and flood 
damage assessment techniques. Research into microcomputer 
applications for planning analysis continues. Research 
to develop techniques for risk assessment related 
to the safety of Corps DAWS was initiated. 
The Institute's training program provides a means for 
transferring technical information and state-of-the-art 
techniques to various Corps users. Courses on topics 
ranging from Conflict Management and Economic Analysis 
for Water Resources Planning were conducted during the 
year. During FY 1985 approximately 375 persons attended 
15 sessions of 10 training courses.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1986 
THE HYDROLOGIC ENGINEERING CENTER 
The Hydrologic Engineering Center's (HEC) programs 
in research training, methods systemization, planning 
analysis, and technical assistance make every effort to be 
aware of the problems and needs of the Corps and the 
Nation. To keep abreast of the latest developments 
throughout the profession, and to make use of this information 
in a manner best suited to the needs of the Corps, 
HEC maintains close contacts with universities, private 
industry and other Federal agencies, alike. 
The Center provided substantial technical assistance to 
27 Corps offices during FY 1985, including the Office of 
the Chief of Engineers, the Waterways Experiment Station 
and the Institute for Water Resources. Technical assistance 
was also provided to other Federal agencies and to 
the Government of India (through the U.N.). One-fourth of 
HEC's resources were devoted to direct field assistance 
projects during FY 1985. Eleven formal training courses 
involving eighteen weeks of training were conducted at 
HEC. Three workshops, totaling two weeks, were also held. 
Research funding was a relatively high (about one-half) 
proportion of HEC's budget this year. 
Research 
Planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance 
of today's multiple-purpose water projects requires 
complex interdisciplinary analyses. These complex problems 
present major methodological and computational 
tasks to the water resources planner and engineer. The 
HEC seeks solutions to these problems through development 
of systematic methods and the use of computational 
power of computers. 
Research activities were carried out in 12 work units. 
These work units represent specific technical areas that 
have been identified in the Corps R&D program. The 
HEC's primary research area is entitled "Analytical 
Techniques in Water Resources Planning Studies." The 
HEC is also involved in the Corps research programs in 
water conservation and supply, planning methodologies, 
remote sensing, and environmental quality. A major new 
work unit addressing hydrologic dam safety and risk 
analysis procedures for spillway sizing began this year. 
HEC's R&D work units for FY 1985 are shown below. 
Improvements in Methods of Evaluating 
Hydrologic Phenomena 
Computer Methods for Water Resources Planning 
Water Resource Data Storage System

Technical Assistance 
About $950,000 in technical assistance was provided to 
27 offices during FY 1985. The offices included: 20 division 
and district offices; the Office of the Chief of Engineers 
(OCE); the Waterways Experiment Station (WES); the 
Bureau of Reclamation; the National Park Service; the 
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); and the Institute 
for Water Resources (IWR). The largest single amount 
was $190,640 for portion of the $300,000 FHWA Water 
Surface Profiles Accuracy Research Study. Comprehensive 
Project Reports were prepared for four studies: 
Two-Dimensional Flow Modeling at Lock and Dam No. 
8, Upper Mississippi River 
Evaluation of Proposed Modification Mojave River Dam, 
California 
Toutle River Mudflow Investigation 
La Junta, Colorado Local Protection Project, Phase I 
GDM Sediment Study 
Technical assistance projects involving the development 
of systems for real-time water control and data mangement 
continued to be a major emphasis of reimbursable 
work. About one-third of funding was for real-time water 
control systems. Work for the Huntington and Pittsburgh 
Districts involved the development of models for forecasting 
runoff and evaluating operations alternatives in major 
river basins. Assistance was provided to Rock Island 
District in implementing real-time data acquisition and 
management systems. 
Continuing assistance was provided to OCE in procuring 
water control computer equipment and in negotiations 
with the National Weather Service to establish a data 
exchange agreement and a generalized data exchange 
procedure between field offices. Testing of NWS-COE data 
exchange in Standard Hydrometeorological Excliange 
Format (SHEF) was accomplished. 
Training 
The HEC conducted a total of 20 weeks of training 
during FY 1985. Courses and workshops conducted were:

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1986 
Video Tapes 
With the increased numbers of 1/2 inch video tape 
equipment in the Corps and in other offices, the decision 
was made to duplicate HEC's currently active library of 
tapes onto the VHS format. All current tapes are being 
recorded in the VHS format. Starting in FY 1986, all loan 
tapes will be available in the 3/4 inch UMATIC and the 1/2 
inch VHS format. 
Planning Analysis 
Work effforts in FY 1985 were conducted in several 
areas:
Flood Control Planning 
Damage Computations and Data Management 
Spatial Data Management 
Water Supply Planning 
Dredged-Material Disposal Management 
Water Surface Profile Accuracy Research 
Focus continues on the development of practical computer 
programs and companion user materials for use by 
field office professional staff. Areas that received particular 
emphasis this past year include water supply analysis, 
flood damage computations and data management, spatial 
data management, and water surface profile accuracy. 
A significant research milestone was achieved with the 
publication of Training Document No. 23 "Flood-Damage- 
Mitigation Plan Selection with Branch-and-Bound Enumeration." 
Adaptation of this system analysis method to flood 
control plan formulation resulted from several years of 
modes research efforts coupled with the specific request 
by the Los Angeles District for a documented formulation 
procedure for use in the LACDA study. The method 
structures a flood control plan formulation problem as a 
decision tree and then provides an efficient, systematic 
approach for solving the tree. 
The use of microcomputers to assist in flood control 
planning is receiving increased attention. Several important 
HEC planning computer programs, reported later, are 
now available for microcomputer applications and increased 
field office usage is expected. 
The HEC has adopted the United States Geological 
Survey (USGS) groundwater simulation model as the tool 
to analyze groundwater withdrawal and recharge. The HEC 
has subsequently developed a preprocessor program to aid 
in automating preparation of input data and has prepared 
linkages that direct output to graphics display routines to 
enable effective analysis of model results. Documentation 
of these enhancements to the USGS model is in preliminary 
draft form. The software has been made operational 
on the Corps Harris system. 
Computer Program Support 
Significant advances were made in improving HEC's 
library of computer programs during FY 1985. Thirteen 
new programs were developed; most serving the water 
control data communications area. Sixteen HEC programs 
were upgraded to Fortran 77 standards to make them 
more transportable to other computers. Fourteen HEC 
programs were added to the five microcomputer versions 
already available in FY 1984 from HEC. These nineteen 
microcomputer programs cover technical areas of rainfallrunoff, 
river hydraulics, flood flow frequency, flood 
damage computations, groundwater analysis, small-scale 
hydropower costs, and spatial data management. Also 
utility programs for printing summary output reports, 
editing files, and assisting in preparing data input for 
reservoir analysis are also available. Several others will be 
available next year. During FY 1985 HEC distributed about 
2,400 computer programs to other Federal, state and local 
governments, universities, and private industry, both 
domestic and foreign. HEC actively provides assistance to 
all its program users. 
THE DREDGING DIVISION 
National Dredging Program 
In FY85, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spent $447 
million for maintenance and improvements to dredge 
rivers, channels, and harbors to remove 303 million cubic 
yards of material. This was a slight decrease from FY84 but 
still above the average since FY77. Private industry 
dredged 238 million cubic yards of material for $374 million. 
Environmental Studies 
During FY85, the Dredging Division continued to place a 
high priority on completing required designation studies 
for the 124 historically-used ocean disposal sites which the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated on an 
interim basis in 1977. The Corps-established goal for 
completing all remaining studies to support EPA final 
designation for these sites is by the end of FY88. To date, 
EPA has provided final designation for eleven of these 
sites. The EPA is continuing to place emphasis on completing 
the supporting environmental documentation 
required by its policies for final designation of these sites. 
The Corps designated three new ocean disposal sites 
necessary for proposed coastal deepening projects, using 
its own site designation authority provided for in the 
Ocean Dumping Act. 
Based on guidance from the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, the Dredging 
Division further revised 33 CFR 209.145, the Corps regulation 
specifying environmental compliance requirements 
for Corps O&M dredging projects. This proposed regulation 
revision, which will be moved to 33 CFR Parts 335-338 
to follow the Corps permit regulation, was published 30 
May 1986 in the Federal Register. 
The Dredging Division continued technical discussions 
with EPA on the development of consistent and technically 
appropriate testing procedures and disposal alternative 
evaluations for projects requiring the removal of highly 
contaminated bottom sediments. During FY85, the Corps 
technical protocol on this subject was completed and 
transmitted to Corps FOAs as national policy guidance. 
This protocol is also being applied by EPA at two of its 
major Superfund projects, Commencement Bay, 
Washington, and New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, 
where dredging is being evaluated as a remedial action 
alternative for cleaning up highly contaminated bottom 
sediment "hot spots" within the waterways. The Corps will 
53-4

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS, U.S. ARMY 1986 
continue to refine this protocol based on experience 
gained at these Superfund sites as well as through other 
project applications within the Corps. 
Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and a 
broad agreement for cooperation in the field of environmental 
protection between the United States and Japan, 
the tenth annual meeting of experts on the management of 
bottom sediments containing toxic sediments was held in 
Kyoto, Japan. Papers of particular importance were 
delivered on dewatering of dredged sediments, long-term 
management of dredged material disposal and containment 
activities, rehabilitation of contaminated water 
bodies, eutrophication, control of dredge-induced turbidity, 
and effects of contaminated sediments on the water 
column and the biological community. Developments in 
recent technology for stabilizing soft, highly organic 
sediments such as found at Superfund projects have 
proven particularly useful in ongoing efforts. 
Revolving Fund 
The Dredging Division of the Water Resources Support 
Center allocated $106 million from the Plant Replacement 
and Improvement Program (PRIP) Fund to all divisions, 
districts, and field operating activities for FY85. These 
allocations were for replacements and improvements to 
structures, dredges, floating plant, mobile and fixed land 
plant, as well as tools, office furniture and equipment 
necessary to support Corps-wide missions and activities. 
The Director of Civil Works has reviewed the use and 
status of the PRIP and has implemented procedures for 
more effective management of the Plant Replacement and 
Improvement Program. 
Marine Design Center 
In FY85, the Marine Design Center (MDC) managed 39 
floating plant projects on a fully reimbursable basis. The 
work can be broken down into design and construction 
contract management. The design work was carried out by 
the regular staff of naval architects and marine engineers 
together with architect engineer contract support. Approximately 
75 percent of the engineering and design program, 
which consisted of 26 projects for 14 Corps districts, was 
contracted out. These projects included modifications and 
special studies for the hopper dredges ESSAYONS, 
WHEELER, and McFARLAND; repowering of the dustpan 
dredged JADWIN and preliminary design of a new dustpan 
dredge; conceptual design of a SWATH surveyboat and a 
drift collection vessel, and various other engineering 
studies. 
Construction contract management was carried out on 
11 projects for nine districts at a total contract value of 
$9,778,333. New plant delivered to the operators in FY85 
consisted of five deck cargo barges, a 100-foot towboat, 
and a floating crane. 
A major effort was expended in the design of a diesel 
electric plant and the purchase of $2 million worth of 
government-furnished equipment to modernize the 
dustpan dredge JADWIN. The project will be completed in 
FY86 at an estimated total project cost of $8.5 million, 
including scheduled repair and rehabilitation work. The 
life of the 50-year old vessel will be extended by 15 years 
with little loss of productive dredging time. 
The managers of MDC have aggressively pursued work 
for the U.S. Army Troop Support Command (TROSCOM) 
and U.S. Navy at Mare Island Naval Shipyard (NAVSEA). It 
appears that NAVSEA will request the MDC to provide the 
design and construction management for a new dredge 
approved for use at Mare Island, San Fransisco Bay, 
in FY88. 
Support to Others 
The Dredging Division prepared a cost-estimate, construction 
methodology, geotechnical assessment and 
environmental review of the Gaillard Cut Widening Project 
for the Panama Canal Commission. The final report on this 
effort will be provided to the Commission during the last 
quarter of 1986.
