W. Morris Chief of Engineers Corps of Engineers lb Department of the Army Dear General Morris: We have reviewed the Corps of Engineers' procedures and practices for establishing flood control operating criteria at Federal multipur- pose water resource projects. Our work was done primarily at Corps headquarters in Washington,'D.C.; the North Pacific, Ohio River and Missouri River divisions in Portland, Oregon; Cincinnati, Ohio, and Omaha, Nebraska We also visited Corps district offices of the Missouri River, Southwestern, Lower Mississippi Valley and South Pacific divisions located in Kansas City, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma, Little Rock, Arkansas, Vicksburg, Mississippi, Fort Worth, Texas, and Sacramento, California In addition, we visited the Bureau of Recla- mation's Upper Missouri, Lower Missouri, and Mid-Pacific Regions in Billings, Montana, Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California. We also visited the Tennessee Valley Authority. We believe that opportunities exist for obtaining increased benefits from Federal multipurpose water resource projects by using known improvements in the methodology for establishing flood control operating criteria At the present time, there is a wide variance in the sophistication of methods used at various Federal projects in establishing such criteria INTRODUCTION According to section 7 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 890, 33 U.S.C. 709) the Secretary of the Army is responsible for pre- scribing regulations for the use of storage space allocated for flood control or navigation purposes at all reservoirs constructed wholly or partially with Federal funds where part of these funds were originally provided for the purposes of flood control or navigation Projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which are subject to the above provisions of the 1944 Act, use flood control operating regulations developed by the Corps. /o o37
