Location.-Baker Bay is a shallow body of water about 15 square miles in extent lying on the north side of the Columbia River near its mouth. The bay is separated from the river by Sand Island, a low-lying sand bar only a few feet above high-tide level. (See U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Chart No. 6151.) Existing project. This provides for a main channel 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the port of Ilwaco, a distance of about 5 miles, and for a west channel 8 feet deep and 200 feet wide for a distance of 2,000 feet at the southerly end, thence 150 feet wide, extending from deep water in the Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, a total distance of about 3 miles. Mean lower low later is the plane of reference. The tidal range between mean lower low water and mean higher high water is about 8 feet, and the extreme about 13 feet. The approved estimate of cost for new work, revised in 1945 to include the west channel, is $248,600. The latest (1945) approved estimate of annual maintenance for the two channels is $30,000. The main channel was authorized by the Public Works Administration, December 11, 1933, and River and Harbor Act approved August 30, 1935 (H. Doc. No. 44, 73d Cong., 1st sess.), the west channel by River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945 (H. Doc. No. 443, 76th Cong., 1st sess.). The latest published maps are in these documents. 672607-46-pt. 1, vol. 2- 62 Terminal facilities.-Terminals have been constructed at Ilwaco along Holman Waterway, 200 feet wide by 3,000 feet in length and on a dredged basin 400 by 1,000 feet. The facilities consist of wharves, floats, ramps, and berths for oil barges and oil boats. The facilities are considered adequate for the present commerce. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Maintenance dredg ing in the channel by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Multnomah removed a total of 241,376 cubic yards of material during July and August 1944 and June 1945 at a cost of $13,983.97. Dredging by the U. S. pipe-line dredge Wahkiakum removed a total of 318,145 cubic yards of material during June 1945 at a cost of $8,843.18. Hydrographic surveys were made as required. Total costs for the fiscal year were $26,060.71, all for maintenance. Expenditures were $22,210.27. Condition at end of fiscal year. The existing project is 34 percent complete. The channel extending through the easterly passage at Sand Island to the Port of Ilwaco, Wash., was completed in 1934. The controlling depth is 10 feet with a width of 200 feet. The west channel, extending from deep water in the Columbia River to the main channel near Ilwaco, authorized under the River and Harbor Act approved March 2, 1945, was partially completed with military funds during June 1943 and August 1944. This work consisted of dredging a channel from Ilwaco to Fort Canby, approximately 1 mile, to a depth of from 9 to 11 feet. A total of 372,007 cubic yards was removed. The remaining work required to complete the project is the completion of dredging the west channel to project dimensions. Total costs have been $183,456.36, of which $78,577.47 was for new work and $104,878.89 for maintenance. Expenditures have been $179,543.08.
