(b) Channel improvements, inspections and miscellaneous maintenance. The budget estimate of $19,000 provides for inspection of completed works during the budget year. 3. Multiple-purpose projects including power The budget estimate of $4,763,000 for the operation and maintenance of 14 multiple-purpose projects, having a presently planned generation capacity of 1,338,000 kilowatts, provides the amount necessary for operational requirements. Annual requirements are for operation and ordinary maintenance of project facilities; labor, supplies, materials, and parts required for the day-by-day functioning of the projects. The budget estimate of $99,000 provides for accomplishing the work essential to the administration and enforcement of specific laws, enacted for the protection of navigation, and project condition surveys on some projects for which maintenance is not scheduled in the budget year.

GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS We shall insert the General Investigations justifications. (The justifications follow:) 1. Surveys JUSTIFICATION OF ESTIMATE (a) Navigation studies.-None. (b) Flood control studies.—The amount of $590,000 is requested for continuation of 16 studies and initiation of 1 new study during fiscal year 1965. This amount will permit completion of 5 studies and progress on 12 others. allocations by studies follow: The tentative Mo. Mo. MISSOURI Blue River, Kansas City, Mo. and Kans. Mo Consideration of reservoirs, levees and channel improvements to protect urban developments in Kansas City, Mo., and vicinity. Gasconade River....... Consideration of the feasibility of the authorized Arlington and Richland Reservoirs for flood control, hydroelectric power, and related uses; also, other damsites, and the feasibility of channel improvements and levees, including local flood protection at Newburg, Mo. Little Blue River.. Consideration of reservoirs for flood control, water supply, water quality control and recreation in conjunction with local flood protection works such as levees and channel improvement. Osage River, Mo. and Kans A study to consider additional small reservoirs upstream existing and authorized reservoirs in the Osage River Basin for flood control, water supply, water quality control, and related uses. Wears Creek Consideration of reservoirs, levees, and channel improvement for flood control and related uses. MONTANA Mo. from Milk River-Beaver Creek. Consideration of detention structures, channel improvements and levees for flood protection of agricultural lands and urban developments in the watershed. Missouri River, Garrison-Fort Peck. A study, coordinated with the Bureau of Reclamation, of additional storage projects for flood control, irrigation, hydroelectric power, and allied purposes. NEBRASKA Big Blue River, Nebr. and Kans. Consideration of reservoirs for flood control, water supply, water quality control, and related uses, and the feasibility of levees and channel improvements for flood control. Elkhorn River... A study to be made in cooperation with other Federal agencies with a view toward development of a plan for flood control and related water uses. Niobrara River (Gavins Point Reservoir, Nebr. and S. Dak.). A study of operational problems at Gavins Point Reservoir project with consideration given to potential storage on the Lower Niobrara River as a means for solving these problems. Platte River. Consideration of urban local protection works, bank protection, multiple-purpose reservoirs, and addition of flood control storage in reservoirs of the Bureau of Reclamation. Mo. (c) Special studies.-None. 2,302, 000 827,000 286, 000 590,000 599.000 (d) Comprehensive basin studies.-The amount of $250,000 is requested for prosecution of one study during fiscal year 1965. Missouri River Basin. The study will furnish a general appraisal of overall water and related land resource needs and a guide to further detailed planning. It will include projections of economic development, translation of such projections into demands for water and related land resource uses, hydrologic projections of water availability both as to quantity and quality, and projections of related land resource availability, so as to outline the characteristics of projected water and related land resource problems and the general approaches that appear appropriate for their solution. In addition, it will indicate which of the subbasins within the study area have water problems calling for prompt detailed planning efforts as well as those where no such problems are current or looming.
