(See ch. VI, sec. 8.) SUBJECT: Annual Report on U.S. Army Civil Works Activities for Fiscal Year 1965 TO: THE SECRETARY OF THE ARMY 1. Transmitted herewith is my annual report on the Civil Works activities of the Department of the Army, as carried out by the Corps of Engineers during the fiscal year 1965. Volume 1 of this report reviews the overall program status, accomplish- ments, and planning to meet existing and future needs, and pre- sents summary data on water resource development by the Corps. Volume 2 contains detailed information on individual Civil Works projects and activities. Detailed data on waterborne commerce of the United States are published separately. 2. Civil Works activities of the Corps of Engineers involve a nationwide water resource development program which includes the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of works for navigation, beach erosion control, flood control, hurri- cane protection, hydropower, water supply, water quality control, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation, and related purposes, as authorized by law. 3. The active Civil Works program consists of over 3,600 proj- ject authorizations with a total estimated Federal cost of over $23 billion. Appropriations for new work under this program have totaled almost $14 billion, leaving over 600 projects and about $10 billion still required to complete the active authorized im- proveinents.. Total appropriations for Civil Works activities dur- ing fiscal year 1965 were $11/4 billion, of which $1 billion (80 percent) was for new work. 4. This program continues to provide large and widespread benefits to the Nation. Items of major importance are: a. Navigation. Total waterborne traffic of the United States established a new record during calendar year 1964, for the second consecutive year. The total of 11/4 billion tons was distributed among coastal harbors and channels, Great Lakes harbors and channels, and inland and intracoastal waterways in proportions of 46, 17, and 37 percent, respectively. A total of 250 billion ton- miles of freight carried on the Great Lakes and on the inland and intracoastal waterways also established a new record during calen- dar year 1964. This total was composed of 106 billion ton-miles on the Great Lakes, the largest movement since 1957, and 144 billion ton-miles on the inland and intracoastal waterways system, a new alltime high. b. Flood control. During fiscal year 1965 the Nation suffered a series of extremely damaging floods, notably those in the Pacific coastal region during December and January, in the Upper Missis- VI sippi River basin during April, and in the South Platte River basin and along the Platte River during June. These and numer- ous other floods during the year illustrate that the provision of an adequate degree of flood protection remains one of the most pressing aspects of the Nation's water resource development pro- gram. On the other hand, flood damages prevented by Civil Works projects in operation reached a new high of $1,532 million during fiscal year 1965, which clearly demonstrates the value of such projects in reducing the drain on the Nation's economy resulting from floods. Many individual projects performed in an outstand- ing manner. For example, the Cherry Creek Reservoir project in Colorado, which cost about $15 million to construct, is credited with preventing $130 million of damages in the Denver metro- politan area during the June floods in the South Platte River basin. Flood damages prevented through fiscal year 1965 by all Civil Works projects in operation are estimated to exceed $14 billion. There is growing recognition that protective works for flood con- trol must be complemented with zoning controls and other regu- latory measures to assure proper management of flood plain use. States and local communities, in increasing numbers, are request- ing the Corps of Engineers, under its flood plain information studies program, to advise them in this regard. c. Hydropower. Installed capacity passed the 9 million kilo- watt mark, and energy generated in fiscal 1965 amounted to some 38 billion kilowatt-hours. These figures represented about one- fifth of the Nation's total hydropower capacity and generation, and 4 percent of its total electric power capacity and generation. The cumulative total energy generated at Corps projects through fiscal year 1965 amounted to about 356 billion kilowatt-hours. d. Water supply. The Corps provides over 4 million acre- feet of storage for water supply in 38 reservoirs, which supple- ments the water supply for more than 2 million people in 88 cities, towns, and rural areas. A dependable supply estimated at more than 3 billion gallons per day is available from storage now in operation. About 51/ million acre-feet of storage space is being utilized, either exclusively for irrigation, or jointly for that and other purposes. Large quantities of water made available by power releases and evacuation of flood control storage also in- crease the quantity and improve the quality of downstream flows. e. Public recreation use. Both reservoirs and navigation projects furnish excellent opportunities for public outdoor recrea- tion use. Attendance was 156 million during calendar year 1964, an increase of 6 percent over the preceding year. VII 5. During fiscal year 1965 the Corps of Engineers continued, at an accelerated pace, its Civil Works program for conserving, developing, and putting to better use the Nation's water resources in support of economic growth and human welfare. While we are still faced with many difficult technical, fiscal, administrative, and other problems, I consider that this year marks a period of solid achievement. Further, I feel that the widespread public attention being given to the urgent need for comprehensive planning and development of our water and related resources, together with the increasingly cooperative efforts at all levels of Government, and of other interested individuals and local organizations, is pro- viding a sound basis for further substantial progress in future years.

  • Commonwealth of Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Harmful
    Commonwealth of Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Steve Beshear, Governor Leonard K. Peters, Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lanny Brannock 502-564-2150 Harmful Algal Bloom recreational advisory issued for the Ohio River and tributaries Advisory area stretches from W. Va. Line to Cannelton Locks and Dam FRANKFORT, Ky. (Sept. 18, 2015) – The Kentucky Division of Water (KDOW) and the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) are re-issuing a harmful algal bloom (HAB) recreational advisory for the Ohio River and tributaries, extending the advisory downstream from the West Virginia state line to the Cannelton Locks and Dam located at Cannelton, in Hancock County, Kentucky. KDOW and Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) personnel observed favorable water conditions for HAB development and made visual confirmation of HABs in the McAlpine pool at Louisville, Carrollton and Madison, Indiana. In addition, KDOW staff observed HABs in the Cannelton pool at West Point. Preliminary analysis indicates that microcystin toxins are occurring in these pools above advisory thresholds, which warrants that the advisory to be extended downstream. Water swallowed during recreational activities in this body of water may increase the risk of gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Skin, eye and throat irritation and/or breathing difficulties may also occur after contact. On Aug. 31, KDOW received a report of an algal bloom on the Ohio River near Greenup. Subsequent sampling of the river indicated higher levels of microcystin toxins existed in some areas of the Ohio River from Ashland to the Meldahl Dam. KDOW issued a recreational advisory on Sept.
