14. TOPEKA, KANSAS RIVER, KANS.

$14, 682; 900.00

5, 000, 000.00

Location. This project is located on the right and left hanks of the Kansas River at Topeka, Kans.

Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the raising and extending of existing levees and the construction of new levees and flood walls, consisting of the following features: 7.200 feet of earth levee, 2,016 feet of concrete flood wall. and 6.350 feet of bank-protection works, along the right bank of the Kansas River, extending from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad bridge over Ward Creek to high ground upstream from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad bridge; 1,662 feet of flocd wall and 943 feet of levee around the municipal waterworks; about 5.120 feet of bank-protection works along the left bank of the Kansas River; 23,175 feet of levee and 700 feet of flood walls around North Topeka; and numerous appurtenant features. The project when completed will provide protection to North Topeka, South Topeka (between Ward Creek and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad shops). and the municipal waterworks, against a flood equivalent to that of 1903. The existing project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved June 22, 1936 (H. Dcc. No. 195, 73d Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of construction, revised in 1940. is $1,056,000. and the estimated cost of lands and damages, $93.600.

Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. The conditions of local cooperation have been fully complied with except for the North Topeka unit. Local interests have furnished assur- i ance that the litigation which has been pending relative to the North Topeka unit can he settled. The city of Topeka has contributed to the United States a net sum of $7.659.31 to defray the cost of incidental features of construction at the city waterworks, desired by the city but not required for adequate flood protection.

Operations and results during fiscal year.-None.

Condition at end of fiscal year.-The existing project was ap rroximately 69 percent complete at the end of the fiscal year. The work accomplished consists of the removal of objectionable. material and placing of 174 569 cubic yards of earth fill in an earth levee; construction of 2,016 linear feet of concrete flood wall 6421.4 linear feet of hank paving. 2 600 linear feet of waterworks protection, three protection enclosures at the waterworks, one floodgate, nine sewer-outlet extensions, and appurte nant features; and seeding of levees.

The work remaining to be done to complete the existing project consists of the construction of the North Topeka unit. Commencement of this work was postponed indefinitely in February 1940 after a suit was brought against the city of Topeka and others to enjoin construction of the North Topeka flood-protection works.

Local interests have furnished assurance that the litigation will be settled in the near future and have requested that necessary work be accomplished to place the plans in readiness for initiation upon a return to normal conditions.

The total cost and expenditures (exclusive of $7,659.31 of contributed funds but inclusive of $8,208.62 undistributed costs) of the existing project (all new work) at the end of the fiscal year were $738,169.82 ($472,169.82 from regular funds and $266,000 from Emergency Relief funds).

Proposed operations.-The unexpended balance of $1,830.18 at the end of the fiscal year will be applied to the cost of reviewing the plans for completion of construction of this project.

No additional funds can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1947.

15. TUTTLE CREEK RESERVOIR, MISSOURI RIVER BASIN, KANS.

Location. The proposed dam site for the Tuttle Creek Reservoir is located on the main stem of the Big Blue River, approximately 12 miles above the mouth of the stream in Riley and Pottawatomie Counties, Kans. The site is about 12 miles northwest of Manhattan, Kans.

Existing project.—A preliminary plan of this project provides for a dam approximately 5,500 feet long and about 155 feet high above the stream bed.
