PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Big Pine Lake project, authorized by the Flood Control Act approved October 27, 1965 (Public Law 89-298), is part of a comprehensive network of water projects in the Wabash River Basin, Indiana.

As of May 31, 1975, the $1,144,376 the Chief of Engineers allocated to the project is being used primarily for real estate planning, engineering and design, and overhead.
