NAVIGATION

1. COLUMBIA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES ABOVE CELILO FALLS TO KENNEWICK, WASH.

Location. Project includes improvement of 128 miles of the Columbia River between head of Celilo Falls and Kennewick, Wash. (See U.S. Geological Survey Map of Washington.)

Previous Project. For details, see page 1992 of Annual Report for 1915; page 1889, Annual Report for 1931; and page 1845, Annual Report for 1938.

Existing Project. A channel 7 feet deep and 150 feet wide at low water from Celilo Falls to Wallula, with no specified depth or width between Wallula and mouth of Snake River and for an approach channel 6 feet deep at low water from navigation channel in Columbia River to site of port development at Arlington, Oreg.

Incomplete channel rectification work at Owyhee Rapids, Squally Hook, and Indian Rapids, is classified inactive. Estimated cost of this portion, revised in 1954, is estimated to be $419,000.

Construction of The Dalles Dam and raising reservoir provided a slackwater pool extending upriver to site of John Day Dam and provided slackwater over lower 25 miles of original project. Creation of pool behind McNary Dam (river mile 292) provided slackwater over upper 36 miles of original project. Remaining reach of river included in this project is comprised of approximately 67 miles of open river between The Dalles Pool and McNary Dam. Upon creation of pool behind John Day Dam, slackwater will also be provided over this reach of river, and project will be obviated.

Existing project was authorized by the following:

Acts	Work authorized	Documents¹

Apr. 8, 1935	Emergency Relief Appropriation Act authorized the existing project as an Emergency Relief project.	Rivers and Harbors Committee Doc. 16, 63d Cong., 2d sess.
Aug. 30, 1935	Adopted existing project as a river and harbor project.	Do.
Mar. 2, 1945	Arlington approach channel	S. Doc. 28, 76th Cong., 1st sess.
Do	Kennewick approach channel	H. Doc. 324, 77th Cong., 1st sess.²
¹Contains latest published map. ²Construction of McNary Dam has obviated the necessity for this work.

Local cooperation. River and Harbor Act of 1945, provides that for Arlington Channel, local interests give assurances they will construct a suitable freight terminal, open to all on equal terms. These assurances were approved December 29, 1947, but a freight terminal will not be constructed because backwater of John Day Dam will inundate present terminal area.

Terminal facilities. On Columbia River from Celilo to McNary lock and dam there are five privately owned grain and oil terminals with connections to truck and rail. Facilities are adequate for existing commerce. Above McNary lock and dam are five publicly owned terminals which handle general cargo and are open for public use. These terminals are adequate for existing commerce, and general development is keeping pace with increasing demands. In addition, there are 15 privately owned terminals serving grain, petroleum, and chemical industries. Also there are five commercial marinas.

Operations and results during fiscal year. On Columbia River, reconnaissance and condition surveys of navigation channel from McNary lock and dam to John Day lock and dam site were conducted in July and August 1963. Some shoaling had occurred at Owyhee Rapids and corrective action was planned for fiscal year 1965.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Authorized 7-foot channel, 150 feet wide, has been completed to McNary lock and dam. For that portion of project within McNary pool and The Dalles pool, depths are in excess of 7 feet with minimum depth of 15 feet over upper lock sills. Arlington approach channel was completed in 1948.

Costs of existing project were $1,356,584 for new work and $946,164 for maintenance, a total of $2,302,748 regular funds.

3. NAVIGATION ACTIVITIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 107, PUBLIC LAW 86-645 (PREAUTHORIZATION)

A report of Snake River navigation channel downstream from Weiser, Idaho, has been forwarded to Chief of Engineers for approval and funding. Local interests will contribute 50 percent of construction cost and now have funds available. Construction schedule now awaits allocation of Federal funds for initiation of work. Fiscal year costs were $402.

4. BLACKFOOT RESERVOIR, BLACKFOOT RIVER, IDAHO

Location. On Blackfoot River in Caribou County, Idaho, about 40 miles southeast of city of Blackfoot. (See U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle sheets Paradise Valley, Cranes Flat, Portneuf, and Henry for location and surroundings in immediate vicinity of project.)

Existing Project. Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir is owned and operated by Fort Hall Agency of Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Interior. Main dam, which is 52 feet high, is a rockfill structure with a concrete core. A low earthfill dike known as China Hat Dam closes an arm of reservoir near its upstream end to minimize storage loss due to seepage in pervious formation of that area. Main dam structure includes a spillway in right abutment and an outlet tunnel in left abutment. Reservoir has a usable storage capacity of 413,000 acre-feet at design maximum water surface elevation 6124. However, due to experience with seepage losses from southern end of reservoir, and past demands for water, operating level has been limited to about elevation 6120, or about 340,000 acre-feet storage capacity. Water stored in reservoir is used to irrigate lands in Fort Hall Indian Reservation in vicinity of Blackfoot and south. Recommended modification of project would provide 38,000 acre-feet additional storage capacity by raising concrete core wall of main dam 6 feet, reshaping earth and rock dam around core, modifying spillway and outlet works, and raising China Hat Dam 8 feet. New earthfill dikes also would be required across two other southern arms of reservoir to control seepage. By removal of these minor arms from reservoir area, it is anticipated that seepage problems that have been experienced when operating between elevations 6120 and 6124 would not be aggravated and could be mitigated to some extent. These modifications would permit operation of reservoir for flood control to a maximum water surface elevation of 6126, and remove difficulties of irrigation storage use to 6124. Spillway capacity would be increased to 7,000 cubic feet per second by lowering crest elevation from 6118.5 to 6113 and installing new gates. Outlet works would be modernized and rehabilitated, with a capacity for 2,700 cubic feet per second, to work more adequately for flood control operation. Recommended modification was authorized by Flood Control Act of 1962. Construction would be accomplished by Corps of Engineers, with continued operation of project by Bureau of Indian Affairs. Estimated total Federal cost of proposed modifications is $900,000.

Local cooperation. None required.

Operations and results during fiscal year. None.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir in interest of increased flood control for Blackfoot River Basin was first presented as a potential project in review report for Upper Snake River Basin dated 1961, which was prepared jointly by Walla Walla District and Regional Office of Bureau of Reclamation in Boise, Idaho. That review report was authorized by a Senate resolution adopted March 19, 1954, which requested a review of House Document 531, 81st Congress, 2d session, with particular reference to Upper Snake River Basin above Weiser, Idaho. In referenced review report, modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir was presented as one of the potential projects warranting early consideration for construction. Interim report No. 2 on modification of Blackfoot Dam and Reservoir, dated March 1962, included additional information and analysis of February 1962 floods and confirmed project economic feasibility. It is on this latter report that congressional authorization is based. There have been no funds allocated to this project.

5. BLACKFOOT RIVER, COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN, IDAHO

Location. Project provides flood protection to lower 16 miles of Blackfoot River along eastern boundary of Fort Hall Indian Reservation near city of Blackfoot in Bingham County, Idaho.

Existing project. Provides for widening, deepening, and shortening river channel and erection of levees through a 5-mile reach of river from river mile 10.8 to 16. It also provides for a floodwater diversion channel at river mile 10.8 to Snake River in order to protect lower 11 miles of Blackfoot River valley lands.

Existing project was conditionally authorized under section 204, Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, subject to economic justification. Economic justification was established in fiscal year 1958. Estimated Federal cost is $400,000. Non-Federal costs are estimated to be $59,000 for rights-of-way, relocation of irrigation facilities, minor relocations, and alterations to roads and a bridge.

Local cooperation. Fully complied with.

Operations and results during fiscal year. Construction was started and completed.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Construction was initiated in July 1963 and completed in Mary 1964. Entire project is complete except for possible corrective work that may be required to repair flood damage caused after completion of construction but prior to turning project over to local interests.

6. BOISE VALLEY, COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN, IDAHO

Location. Proposed project is on Boise River in intermittent reaches of channel from vicinity of Boise, Idaho, river mile 52, downstream to Snake River, river mile 0.

Existing Project. Previous emergency flood-control projects have been accomplished at various locations on this portion of the river. Plan provides for raising existing levees and structures to existing hydraulic design criteria. It also provides for construction of levees in reaches where protection does not presently exist.

Project was conditionally authorized under Columbia River Basin plan by section 204, Flood Control Act of May 17, 1950, (Public Law 516, 81st Congress, 2d session), subject to economic justification. Economic justification was established in fiscal year 1962.

That portion of project in Canyon County from river mile 1 to river mile 37 was placed in an inactive status due to inability of local interests to meet sponsorship requirements.

Estimated Federal cost of Ada County unit is $504,000; estimated non-Federal cost is $35,100 for rights-of-way and relocation of utilities. Estimated Federal cost of inactive Canyon County unit is $652,800.

Local Cooperation. . Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, as amended, applies. Officials of Ada County furnished a letter of intent to sponsor portion of project in Ada County. Canyon County officials gave written notice that they are unable to meet sponsorship requirements for their portion of the project.

Operations and results during fiscal year. General design memorandum for Ada County unit was approved by higher authority.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Protests against project by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Idaho State Department of Fish and Game have delayed initiation of preparation of plans and specifications of Ada County unit. Canyon County portion of the project is in inactive status. No construction has been done.

Operations and results during fiscal year. None.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Plan on which Congressional authorization was based is presented in House Document 403, 87th Congress, 2d session. Chief of Engineers, in his submission of proposed plan, recommended that inclusion of navigation facilities in Asotin project be deferred until further developments demonstrate their full economic justification. Since House Document 403 was printed, further studies have been made of Asotin project in connection with development of general design memorandum for Lower Granite lock and dam, next downstream project. Based on these later studies, Asotin Dam has been moved downstream slightly, and only minimum provisions have been made for installation of a future navigation lock. There have been no funds allocated to this project.

28. DWORSHAK RESERVOIR, NORTH FORK CLEARWATER RIVER, IDAHO

Location. Damsite of Dworshak Reservoir (formerly Bruces Eddy Reservoir) is on North Fork Clearwater River 1.9 miles above its junction with Clearwater River, near Orofino, Idaho, and about 35 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho.

Existing Project. Project as authorized is to provide a straight-concrete gravity dam 630 feet in effective height at normal pool elevation 1,600 and 3,200 feet in length at the crest. Dam will create a reservoir having a gross storage capacity of 3,453,000 acre-feet of which 2 million acre-feet will be effective for both local and regional flood control, and for at-site and downstream power generation. In addition, the reservoir pool, extending 53 miles into a rugged and relatively inaccessible timberland, would provide important transportation savings in connection with movements of marketable logs and would also afford substantial recreational benefits.

Powerhouse would provide three 100,000-kilowatt generating units to be installed initially, with provisions for three additional 100,000-kilowatt units for an ultimate installed capacity of 600,000 kilowatts.

No significant runs of salmon occur in Clearwater River; however, considerable migrations of steelhead trout are recorded at Washington Water Power Co. Dam at Lewiston, Idaho, near mouth of Clearwater River. Accordingly, it is proposed that fish passage facilities will be provided at Dworshak Dam to accommodate present fish movements and improve existing runs. Dworshak Reservoir site is habitat for elk, deer, and other wildlife. Project plans propose acquisition of land outside the reservoir limits to mitigate losses of browse areas inundated by the reservoir.

Planning was authorized by Flood Control Act of July 3, 1958, in accordance with plan presented in Senate Document 51, 84th Congr., 1st session. Project is authorized for construction by Public Law 87-874. Initial appropriation for construction was by Public Works Appropriation Act of 1962. Estimated Federal cost for new work is $210 million.

Local Cooperation. None required.

Operations and results during fiscal year. Real estate design memorandum No. 8, part 2, which pertains to reservoir area, was submitted December 18, 1963, and approved May 13, 1964. Design Memorandum No. 9, diversion tunnel, temporary fish facilities, and cofferdams, was submitted April 22, 1964, and awaits approval.

Clearing of damsite and construction area and reservoir area to river mile 8.7 on right bank and 5.3 on left bank was started and is 15 percent complete. Work is underway on plans for diversion facilities, temporary fish facilities, detour road, and additional clearing. Work has progressed on supplements on power installation, dam stress analysis, relocation of county and fire district roads, hydraulic model, spillway and outlet structures, and log handling facilities.

Condition at end of fiscal year. Acquisition of damsite and construction areas is complete, and reservoir lands have been acquired to river mile 8.7 on the right bank and 5.3 on the left bank. Access road to right abutment was started April 16, 1963, and only surfacing remains. Clearing was started in April 1964.
