The work covered by the project is on the Iowa River in Johnson County, Iowa, approximately 83.5 miles above the mouth of the waterway which empties into the Mississippi River about 433 miles above the mouth of the Ohio River. Existing project.-The plan of improvement provides for the construction of an earth-fill dam, 1,400 feet long at the top, rising approximately 95 feet above the stream bed, with a reservoir providing for a controlled storage of 400,000 acre-feet. The outlet works are located adjacent to the left abutment and the uncontrolled spillway is located on the right abutment with discharge from spillway entering the river about 900 feet downstream from the toe of the dam. The reservoir will accomplish almost complete control of floods and will minimize flood damages on the Iowa River from the dam to the mouth of the Cedar River. It will provide a large degree of protection for lands along the Iowa River below the mouth of the Cedar River, and significant reductions of Mississippi River flows at Keokuk, Iowa, and reduction in flows at Cairo, Ill. The existing project was selected and approved by the Chief of Engineers under the general authorization contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of new work, revised in 1940, is $4,217,000 for construction and $1,790,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.-The work done during the fiscal year consisted of studies and investigations, by hired labor, in connection with the consideration of alternate dam sites. The costs during the year were $28,062.34 for new work. The expenditures were $29,604.43. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction work has not been started. A revised design, based on the relocation of the proposed dam site, was being prepared at the close of the fiscal year. The cost to June 30, 1945, were $257,156.08 for new work. The expenditures were $256,061.87. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, $35,586.35, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1945, $868.21, and to continuation of the advance planning by hired labor during the fiscal year 1946. The additional sum of $62,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for completion of advance planning, consisting of revision of design and preparation of contract plans and specifications, by hired labor.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-None. Condition at end of fiscal year.-No work has been done. No funds have been allotted to this project. Proposed operations.—No operations are proposed during the fiscal year 1946. The amount of $3,500 can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1947 for preparation of plans and specifications, by hired labor. 12. GALENA, GALENA RIVER, ILL. Location. The work covered by this project is on the Galena River (Fever River), Ill., at and in the vicinity of the city of Galena, located 4 miles above the river's mouth. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for local flood protection at Galena, Ill., by the construction of levees and flood walls with related drainage works and pumping plant; by increasing the flood channel capacity through and below the city by removing five existing bridges and modifying a sixth; and by channel excavation. The proposed improvement will give local flood protection to the city of Galena against a discharge of 25,000 cubic feet per second at that city. The latest (1940) estimate of cost is $418,000 for construction, with $4,000 annually for maintenance of the channel of Galena River through and below the city.
