Columbia River Basin, Local Flood Protection Projects

Location. Improvements included in this project are along Columbia River and its tributaries.

Existing project. Flood Control Act of 1950 approved a general comprehensive plan for Columbia River Basin for flood control and other purposes, based on plans in H. Doc. 531, 81st Cong., 2d Sess., and authorized $75 million to be appropriated for partial accomplishment of certain projects. Of that authorization, an amount not to exceed $15 million was allotted for construction of local flood protection works throughout Columbia River Basin, subject to conditions that all work undertaken pursuant to authorization would be economically justified prior to construction, and local cooperation specified in 1936 Flood Control Act, as amended, should be required. (See table 39-B and table 39-H for projects in Walla Walla District.)

Local cooperation. Section 3, Flood Control Act of June 22, 1936, applies.

Operations during fiscal year. The following projects were deauthorized during FY 90: Catherine Creek Lake, Oregon, Mud Lake, Idaho, and Weiser River, Weiser Area, Idaho.
