Summary construction program (PB−1), fiscal years 1964 and 1965 KAYSINGER BLUFF RESERVOIR (MISSOURI HIGHWAY No. 13 RELOCATION) (Continuing) Location. The Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir project is located on the Osage River about 1 mile upstream from Warsaw, Mo., in Benton County. At fullpool elevation, the reservoir will inundate Missouri State Highway No. 13 at three locations on the South Grand River arm in Henry County. Authorization.-1954 Flood Control Act. 1 For the additional costs involved in raising Missouri State Highway No. 13 above the Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir pool in connection with present plans of the State to proceed with relocation of the highway in advance of the starting date for the reservoir project. PHYSICAL DATA Highway No. 13 reservoir crossings: Three. Status (January 1, 1964).-Highway No. 13 reservoir crossings (plans have been completed for right-of-way purposes and appraisals are being made. Actual acquisition of right-of-way will be initiated in the near future). Completion schedule.-June 1966. JUSTIFICATION The State of Missouri is rebuilding Highway No. 13 across the central portion of the State. The existing highway crosses the authorized Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir, as would the reconstructed highway proposed by the State. A low level crossing was originally planned by the State, and their program called for immediate construction. However, the State temporarily deferred construction in the area involving the reservoir crossings at the request of the Bureau of Public Roads until the matter of Federal participation under the Kaysinger Bluff Reservoir project could be resolved, which would permit construction of the crossings at a level above the reservoir pool. The State is now completing plans for the three South Grand River arm crossings based on a highway elevation adequate for reservoir operations, and anticipates advertising in fiscal year 1964. By participating with the State at this time in construction of the new highway reservoir crossings, subsequent highway relocation work estimated to cost between $1 and $2 million can be eliminated. Fiscal year 1965.-The requested amount of $1 million will be applied to: Continued construction of Highway No. 13 reservoir crossings.. Engineering and design. Supervision and administration_ Total__ $935, 000 4, 000 10, 000 51, 000 1, 000, 000 The amount requested is required for continuing participation with the State of Missouri in additional work involved in constructing the highway to the height required for reservoir operations. Comparison of Federal cost estimates.-The current Federal cost estimate of $3,300,000 is an increase of $180,000 over the latest estimate of $3,120,000 submitted to Congress. The increase is due to price level advances. Summary construction program (PB-1), fiscal years 1964 and 1965 Location. The damsite is located on the Sac River about 49.5 miles above its confluence with the Osage River, and about 2 miles east of Stockton, Cedar County, Mo. The reservoir will extend upstream into Dade and Polk Counties. Authorization.-1954 Flood Control Act. The Stockton Reservoir is the second largest unit of the authorized Osage River Basin system of nine reservoirs, which, in turn, is part of the comprehensive flood protection plan for the Missouri River Basin. The reservoir will control the runoff from 1,160 square miles and, operated in conjunction with other authorized reservoirs, will provide benefits to 68,300 acres of land along the Sac and Osage Rivers, and 160,000 acres of land along the Missouri River. The July 1951 flood alone caused estimated damages of $18,920,000 along the Sac, Osage, and Missouri Rivers below the Stockton damsite and subsequent floods have caused an estimated $13,192,000 additional damage in the same areas. Recurrence of these floods at 1963 prices and conditions would cause aggregate damages estimated at more than $36,900,000. The Stockton Reservoir would reduce these aggregate damages by about $2,900,000. In addition to important flood control benefits, it is estimated that average annual benefits of $1,051,100 will be derived from the power pool and generating equipment. Also recreation benefits of $1,085,000 will be realized from availability of the large conservation pool. Fiscal year 1965.—The requested amount of $4 million will be applied to: Continue outlet works excavation and first stage embankment. Continue construction of access and service roads. Continue procurement of powerplant equipment.... Continue purchase of permanent operating equipment $1,400,000 57,000 1,605, 000 220, 000 28.000 40,000 Supervision and administration.. Total..... 350,000 300, 000 4, 000, 000 The amount requested is needed to continue land acquisition, the first stage dam construction, and engineering and administrative functions. Non-Federal costs.-Costs allocable to power are reimbursable. The preliminary estimate of the amount of reimbursement for power is $13,716,000. Status of local cooperation.-None required for construction. Responsibility for repayment of power rests with the marketing agency of the Department of Interior. Comparison of Federal cost estimates.-The current Federal cost estimate of $52,200,000 is an increase of $1,200,000 over the latest estimate ($51 million) submitted to Congress. Price level advances on construction and relocation features resulted in an increase of $370,000. Increased land requirements to conform with the policy on land acquisition, as amended in 1962, and higher land values resulted in an increase of $820,000. Additional road requirements for public use increased the estimate $295,000. These increases were partially offset by savings of $720,000 based on more advanced design on the dam, powerplant, and spillway structure. Engineering and design and supervision and administration increased $481,000, based on a reanalysis of requirements. Other minor adjustments resulted in a reduction of $46,000. Summary construction program (PB−1), fiscal years 1964 and 1965 Location. On the Missouri River, 987.4 miles above the mouth, about 20 miles upstream from Chamberlain, S. Dak.. and about 80 miles downstream from Pierre, S. Dak. Authorization.-1944 Flood Control Act, and Public Law 87-735. To be transferred to the project from funds appropriated to the Crow Creek tribe. Type: Concrete-lined chute with gated overflow weir. Initial and ultimate: 8 units at 58,500 kilowatts (nameplate) 468,000 kilowatts. Presently planned: 8 units at 58,500 kilowatts (nameplate) 468,000 kilo 1 Power on line, 58,500 kilowatts per unit: 1st unit, July 1964; 2d unit, October 1964; 3d unit, January 1965; 4th unit, April 1965; 5th unit, July 1965; 6th unit, October 1965; 7th unit, January 1966; 8th unit, April 1966. JUSTIFICATION The reservoir will be operated as a unit in the plan for flood control, navigation power, and other purposes in the Missouri River Basin. Unrestricted peaking operation up to 115 percent of the nameplate capacity of the installation will be feasible the year around; thus the project will contribute materially in supplying the rapidly growing power needs in the area. Also, coordinated power operations of Big Bend and Fort Randall will provide nearly constant peaking capacity for most conditions and Fort Randall will accomplish its important flood control functions without affecting system power generation significantly. Fiscal year 1965.-The requested amount of $14,500,000 will be applied to: Complete powerhouse transformers Continue miscellaneous powerhouse mechanical and electrical equip Continue turbines, generators, and governors. $60,000 150, 000 600, 000 385, 000 6, 070, 000 Continue procurement of permanent operating equipment.
