The site of the Wolf Creek Dam is on the Cumberland River, 460.9 miles above its mouth. It is in Russell County Ky., and is about 10 miles southwest of Jamestown, Ky., and 12 miles north of Albany, Ky. The Wolf Creek Reservoir will extend 101 miles up the main stream, 48 miles up the South Fork of Cumberland River, and will lie within Russell, Clinton, Wayne, Pulaski, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, Ky. Existing project. The plan of improvement provides for the construction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. It will have a maximum height of 240 feet and an approxi mate length of 5,736 feet, of which 1,796 feet is concrete section and 3,940 feet is earth embankment. From the left abutment a short concrete nonoverflow section will extend to a concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream channel The spillway will be provided with 6 sluices for the control of floods and will be surmounted with 10 tainter crest gates. Adjoining the spillway, there will be a concrete powerhouse intake struc ture through which 6 penstocks will be constructed. A nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section will provide a transition be tween that section and the earth embankment which extends across the valley to the right abutment. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 63,530 acres with a total storage of 6,089,000 acre-feet, of which 2,094,000 will be allocated to flood control and 2,142,000 to power. A minimum pool of 1,853,000 acre-feet will be available for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge at all times. The drainage area controlled will be 5,810 square miles or approximately one-third of the Cumberland River Basin. The initial power installation will be about 135,000 kilowatts, and the ultimate installation will be 270,000 kilowatts. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Acts approved June 28, 1938, and August 18, 1941. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial 3-unit power installation, revised in 1942, is $52,000,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year. In accordance with. existing Federal policies on wartime construction, no construction was accomplished during the year. Routine maintenance of plant, buildings and roads at the quarry site and within the construction area, including necessary protective painting, was accomplished under negotiated contract for preservation and care for the period luring which construction and supplying of materials and equipment will be suspended. The costs for new work were $498,893.06, including $188,715.42 for hired labor. The expenditures were $235,347.51. Condition at end of fiscal year.-The contract for construction of the dam and appurtenant work was approximately 8 percent complete. Construction of right and left bank access roads has been completed. Preliminary work was 93 percent complete. The status of work under other contracts was as follows: Furnishing cement, 0.5 percent; power plant design, 85 percent; design and furnishing slide gates, 32 percent; and design and fabrication of intake gates and hoisting equipment, 29 percent. Survey of reservoir by hired labor has been completed, 731 square miles having been mapped. Detailed inventory appraisals and investigations have been completed. Approximately 1,927 acres have been acquired in fee simple and about 52 acres of flowage easements have been obtained." The total costs of June 30, 1945, were $7,193,040.17, of which $1,432,656.35 was for hired labor. The total expenditures were $7,434,969.57.

DALE HOLLOW RESERVOIR, OHIO RIVER BASIN, TENN. AND KY Location.-Dale Hollow Dam is located on the Obey River, 73 miles above its confluence with the Cumberland River (mile 380.9) at Celina, Tenn. It is in Clay County, Tenn., and is about 80 miles northeast of Nashville, Tenn., 28 miles north of Cookeville, Tenn... 13 miles west of Byrdstown, Tenn., and 3 miles east of Celina, Tenn. Dale Hollow Reservoir extends about 51 miles up the main stream, 12 miles up the East Fork, and 6 miles up the West Fork of Obey River and lies within Cumberland and Clinton Counties, Ky... and Clay, Pickett, Overton, and Fentress Counties, Tenn. Existing project. The project provides for the construction of a dam for flood control and the development of power. The dam has a maximum height of 200 feet, a length of 1,717 feet, and is all concrete. From the left abutment a 432-foot concrete nonoverflow section extends to a 400-foot concrete gravity spillway section located in the present stream chanel. The spillway is provided with 4 sluices for the control of floods and is surmounted with 6 tainter crest gates. Adjoining the spillway, there is a 255-foot concrete powerhouse intake structure through which 3 penstocks are constructed. A 630-foot nonoverflow concrete gravity retaining section extends from the spillway section to the right abutment. At the top of the gates, the pool will have an area of 30,990 acres with a total storage of 1,706,000 acre-feet of which 353,000 will be allocated to flood control and 496,000 to power. A minimum pool of 857,000 acre-feet always will be available for recreational purposes and as a wildlife refuge. The drainage area controlled is 935 square miles. The initial power installation will be 36,000 kilowatts in two units. The project was selected for construction under the general authorization for the Ohio River Basin contained in the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938. The estimated cost of the project, including the initial 2-unit power installation. revised in 1943, is $18,372,000 for construction and $3,979,000 for lands and damages, a total of $22,351,000. Local cooperation.-Section 2 of the Flood Control Act approved June 28, 1938, applies. Operations and results during fiscal year.--In accordance with existing Federal policies on wartime construction, the only new construction initiated during the year under contract was the superstructure of the Obey River Bridge located at the point where Tennessee Highway No. 42 crosses the reservoir. The dam was operated and appurtenances were cared for. As the power generating facilities have not been installed, the reservoir was operated primarily for flood control, with occasional releases for the benefit of navigation. Releases were made during about 50 percent of the year with a maximum discharge of 6,000 cubic feet per second. Normal pool was maintained at approximate elevation 631 which is the proposed minimum power pool. Storage varied from a minimum of 848,000 acre-feet in September 1944 to a maximum of 1,187,000 acre-feet in March 1945. No releases were made during the prolonged flood period from February 17, 1945, to March 10, 1945, and the gain in storage amounted to 295,000 acre-feet. It is estimated that operation of the reservoir during this flood period reduced the flood crest of the Cumberland River at Celina, Tenn., by 4.5 feet and at Nashville, Tenn., by 2 feet. The costs were $413,475.61, of which $383,512.89 was for new work, and $29,962.72 for maintenance. The expenditures were $394,262.52. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Construction of the dam and appurtenances has been completed. All construction on the powerhouse has been suspended and the contract terminated. Mapping of reservoir and reservoir clearing by hired labor have been completed, 258 square miles having been mapped, and 20,203 acres of pool area, of which 6,989 acres were timbered, having been cleared. In addition to the above, 10,179 acres of pool area have been cleared by contract. Acquisition of land has been completed, except for several parcels for which condemnation proceedings have been instituted in Federal court. Approximately 52,450 acres have been acquired in fee simple and about 45 acres of flowage easements were obtained. The total costs to June 30, 1945, were $18,826,445.64, of which $18,777,081.86 was for new work and $49,363.78 for maintenance. The total expenditures were $18,900,647.41. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended and accounts receivable on June 30, 1945, will be applied as follows: The additional sum of $2,955,000 can be profitably expended during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 ($1,500,000 of this total in 1946), as follows: New work: 30, 1947) Powerhouse construction (July 1, 1946, to June $2,955, 000 The additional sum of $35,000 can be profitably expended during fiscal year 1947 for maintenance (operating and care of dam): Total cost of permanent work to June 30, 1945.
