I 'Iks J.nr J r r't v Dredging Of The following letter was reqeiV' ed from CoL Brown few days ago. . Mr; Aubrey L. Cavenaugh Warsaw i North Carolina , Dear Mr. Cavenaugh: - In accordance with your request I am furnishing you with infor mation on the laws and procedure that apply' to minor clearing and snagging projects for fiooa control This Flood Control Act, approv ed 1939, 18 Auguse 1941, and 24 July 1946, authorized the Secretary of the Army "to allot not to ex ceed $1,000,000 from any appro priations heretofore or hereafter mad1; for any one fiscal year for flood control, for removing accu mulated snags and other debris, and clearing and straightening the channel' In navigable streams ,:-nd tributaries thereof, when in the opinion of the Chief of Engineers such work is advisable in the in terest of flood control. Provided, That not more than $50,000 Shall be expended for this purpose for any single tributary from the ap propriations for any one fiscal year. To obtain funds under the cited anthnf-ltu It 1e nAnaocarv that thA cost of the clearing and snagging of the stream or tributary not ex ceed $50,000, unless local interests are willing to contribute the full amount above $50,000. That means that, for example, if a clearing and snagging job on a tributary is es timated to cost say $100,000, it would not be possible to get $50, 000 one year and the balance In some subsequent year. If local in terests were willing to pay $50,000, it would foe possible to get $50,000 under the authority under discus sion. It is understood, of course, that there Is no assurance that funds would : be allotted even though a project Is meritorious and comes within the limitations of the referenced law. Since there are over 40 Corps of Engineer Districts in the United States, the maximum legal expenditure of $1,000,000 a year averages less than $25,000 per district Local Interests may initiate a project toy making a request for the improvement through the Dis trict - Engineer or through their representitive or one of the Sen ators In the United States Congress. In the latter case, the Member of Congress ordinarily will . forward the request to the Chief of Engin eers, who In turn forwards it through channels to the District Engineer, although in some cases the request may be forwarded di rect to the District Engineer. f. In any case, The District Engi neer compiles all the available data on the number of acres of farm land flooded or suffering from In Bdquate drainage, the type of crops ! planted, the frequency of flooding, the probable lowering of flood stsiges If clearing and snag ging , were done, makes &n esti mate of the dollar value of the benefits, and other pertinent in formation.- He also makes a cost estimate of the clearing ana snag ging. The District Engineer for wards his report containing the iibove information. He also makes a cost estimate of the clearing and snagging. The District Engineer forwards his report containing the above information and his recom mendation for or against improve ment, through channels, to the chief of engineers. If the chief of Engineers find the improvement justified, he will ' allot funds if they are evallable. If all available funds have been allotted, the rec ommendation for Improvement can be resubmitted early in the next f oiscal year. We are just getting a clearing and snagging project on Trent River underway. Although all the steps would not necessarily toe re quired for 11 projects, I am giv ing you a resume of the major steps that were taken on that pro ject, to give you an example of the procedure. (1) Local Interests submitted a petition, having 215 signatures, re questing the clearing and snagging of Trent River, to Congressman Graham A. Barden. (2) On October 10, 1949, Con gressman Barden requested my pre decessor. Colonel H. R. Cole, to Investigate the possibility of im provement. - (3) This office made field in spections and interviewed local in terests, and on February 16, 1950, Colonel Cole recommended clear ing and snagging 37.S miles of Trent River between Trenton and the Jones - Lenoir County line, at an estimated cot of 475,000. The South Atlantic Division Engineer, Atlanta, Georgia, concurred.. The Office, Chief of Engineers, stated that it was the policy of that of fice not to approve snagging and clearing where the total cost is in excess of the statutory limit of $50,000, under the existing snag ging authority, unless the excess is contributed by local Interests. Thjtit office also stated that the funds for fiscal year 1951 had been allotted, but that if local interests were willing to contribute the amount in excess of $50,000, the request should be resubmitted at LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK ES mam, you can cook as range at NO EXTRA COST to you when you take advantage of the new residential rates offered by the Carolina Power & Light Company to all customers in the former Tide Water area. .

Hiver. the beginning of fiscal year 1952. . (4) On April 5, 1951, an -engineer from this office met with the spokesmen for local interests and explained . the. requirements that local intrests would have to raise the funds required in excess of $50,000. - (5) On April 15, 1951,. an en gineer from this office attended a mass meeting at Trenton, -at which about 100 persons were present. The attendance at a meeting held two weeks earlier was about 250, At the mass meeting it was brought out that about $15,000 was all that local interests could raise. Our representative stated that while It would be preferable that the full $25,000 be raised he believed that the District Engineer would rec ommend accepting $15,000, In which cse the project would be restudied with a view to accom plishing the work for $S5,000. In the meantime, local interests - ad vised Congressman Barden of the difficulty they . were having in raising $25,000, and the Congress man in turn advised the Chief En gineers. As a result, this office received a wire from the Office, Chief of Engineers, dated May 23, 1951, requesting th:t our previous estimate be reviewed with a view to determining the feasibility of ac complishing a complete and worth while snagging and clearing pro ject, using $50,000 Federal funds, plus a local contribution of about $15,000'. .,. (6) On May 21, 1951, a 'group of interested , persons from the Trent River basin met in my of fice iand again stated that $15,000 was the maximum practicable local contribution. I requested the group to. furnish a statement to that ef fec in writing; .1 received such a statement the following day. On June 6, 1951, 1 recommended clear ing and magging the 37.3 miles of Trent River referred to hereinbe fore, at a cost of $50,000 'to the Federal Government and $15,000 to local interests. Higher authority concurred, and on November 16, 1951, the Chief of Engineers allot ted $50,000 for the work, con tigent on local Interests providing an additional $15,000. On Feb ruary 18, 1952, local interests fur nished this office with a check for $15,000, payable to the Treasurer of the United States. Local interests were also required to cooperate toy furnishing right-of-way and by (holding the Unite A States free from any claims for damages from the work. Local Interests have fulfilled ' those requirements. We expect to start on the project'-on many as 75 meals on your SAVING . ' 75 Kilowatthours . meal for your family. v or before May 1, 1952. I am in closing a copy of Job Order No. 88-101 to the Chief of our Con struction Division, which describes the work to be done.
