Colonel Willard Roper, District Engineer of the U. S. Army Engineer District, Louisville, Kentucky, today announced the start of engineering studies for six water resources development projects in the Wabash River Basin. Preliminary examinations have indicated that these projects are ne'eded and have good prospect of economic justification. The potential projects include five possible reservoirs—two in the East Fork White River subbasin northeast of Columbus, Indiana; one in the Eel River sub-basin near Greencastle, Indiana; one on the Little Wabash River near Louisville, Illinois, and one in the headwaters area of Skillet Fork in Illinois. The sixth potential project would consist of levees and floodwalls in Marion, Indiana. In making his announcement, Colonel Roper voiced a decision in which the States of Indiana and Illinois, the Wabash Valley Interstate Commission. and other Federal agencies concerned with water resource developments have participated. Other Federal agencies concerned include various services and bureaus of the Departments of Agriculture; Health, Education and Welfare; Interior; Commerce; and the Federal Power Commission. All of these organizations are currently cooperating in the Wabash River Basin Comprehensive Survey which will develop an overall plan for development of the water and related land resources of the Basin to meet its present and long-range future needs. The full study is scheduled for completion in 1969: however, interim reports are being submitted from time to time during the course of the study so that authorization and construction of urgently needed projects compatible with the comprehensive plan may be considered prior to completion of the entire study. The Corps of Engineers is responsible for the coordination and issuance of these reports. Initation of engineering studies in the six areas designated by Colonel Roper means that detailed field investigations will be undertaken, including foundation drilling, material testing, surveys, water tests and flood damage appraisals. Detailed studies also will be made of project designs, construction costs, and economic benefits for the several purposes the projects might serve. If projects in the selected areas survive these rigorous examinations of engineering and economic feasibility, and are favorably received at public hearings, they will be eligible for inculsion in a future interim report. Two interim reports have already been submitted in t h e course of the Wabash Study. These recommended five reservoirs which would be located on Wildcat Creek. Big Pine Creek. Clifty Creek, and Patoka River in Indiana, and on the Embarrass River in Illinois Total cost of these reservoirs would be about $114,000,000 Action on these recommendations by the Congress is possible during its present session, (Continued on page 8)
