23. THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL, OREG. AND WASH. Location. This improvement embraces about 12 miles of the Columbia River between The Dalles and Celilo, Oreg. (See U. S. Geological Survey map of Oregon.)

Previous projects.-Adopted by the River and Harbor Act of August 18, 1894. For further details see page 1993 of Annual Report for 1915 and page 1842 of Annual Report for 1938.

Existing project. This provides for open-river improvement from the foot of Threemile Rapids to the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids, and a continuous canal on the Oregon shore from the foot of The Dalles (Fivemile) Rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, the canal to have a depth of 8 feet, width of 65 feet at the bottom, and length of 811⁄2 miles, with four locks, as follows:

[blocks in formation]

1 Originally constructed tandem locks converted to single lift lock in 1941. 2 Not used at low water.

There are no dams in the canal. The lower end of the canal is about 4 miles and the lower end of the Threemile Rapids about 1% miles above The Dalles, Oreg.

The normal pool level at the lower end of the canal has an elevation of 72.5 feet above mean sea level and the highest flood 114.2 feet above mean sea level. At the upper end of the canal the normal freshets are about 18 feet and the maximum rise 33 feet. The canal was designed to operate to a stage of 18 feet at the upper pool and is then "drowned out" until the river recedes to a stage of 18 feet.

The estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1908, was $4,845,000, exclusive of amount expended on previous projects. The estimate of annual cost of operation and care, made in 1945, is $105,000.00.

The existing project was adopted by the River and Harbor Act of March 3, 1905 (Annual Report, 1904, p. 3475). Operation and care of the canal were included in the project July 1, 1935, under the provisions of the Permanent Appropriations Repeal Act approved June 26, 1934. For latest published map see Annual Report for 1915, page 3380.

Local cooperation.-Fully complied with.

Terminal facilities.-There are two warehouses fronting on The Dalles-Celilo Canal, near the lower end, owned by private interests, with a combined capacity of 15,000 tons of wheat. The facilities are considered adequate for present commerce.

Operations and results during fiscal year. The canal and locks were in continuous operation throughout the year. The various items of maintenance and their costs were as follows:

Operation

Ordinary maintenance and repairs
Channel work: The U. S. Dredge Depoe Bay removed 5,217
cubic yards of material from the canal and boat basin at a
cost of

Improvement and reconstruction:

Traffic lights were installed at Five Mile and Celilo locks, 6 gate maneuvering arms at Big Eddy and Celilo lock were reinforced, reconstruction of the telephone line from Big Eddy to Celilo was about 50 percent completed and a 20 by 100 foot storage warehouse 85 percent completed during the fiscal year

Total costs for the fiscal year were $81,332.80. Expenditures were $81,431.19.

Condition at end of fiscal year. The canal was completed in 1919 and is in good condition. A depth of 7 feet is available the entire year with a depth of 8 feet available 85 percent of the time. Total costs under the existing project have been $5,643,336.46, of which $4,669,092.33 was for new work and $5,445.17 for maintenance and $968,798.96 for operation and care. Total expenditures have been $5,638,844.87.

In addition, the sum of $525,267.16 was expended between May 5, 1915, and June 30, 1935, on operation and care of the works of improvement under the provisions of the permanent indefinite appropriation for such purposes.

Proposed operations.-The funds unexpended June 30, 1945, plus an anticipated allotment will be applied as follows:
