The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:10 a.m., in room 2167, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Robert E. Jones (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. LEE CREEK, ARK. Mr. JONES. The subcommittee will come to order. The first item for consideration this morning is Lee Creek, Ark. Colonel Kristoferson. You may proceed, Colonel. STATEMENT OF LT. COL. R. S. KRISTOFERSON, CORPS OF Colonel KRISTOFERSON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, this report is submitted in response to a resolution of the Committee on Flood Control the House adopted May 2, 1946, and a resolution of the Committee on Public Works of the House adopted July 31, 1957. It concerns flood control and water conservation on Lee Creek in Arkansas and Oklahoma. The Lee Creek watershed lies north of the Arkansas River and just north of the cities of Fort Smith and Van Buren, Ark. Lee Creek is about 60 miles long and flows generally in a southerly direction, crossing the Arkansas-Oklahoma State line several times. The watershed is very steep in the upper reaches and steep in the remainder of the drainage area. It is alternatively subject to drought and to flash rises and major floods. There are no existing flood control improvements in the area under consideration. Local interests want solution of their flood problems and storage of water for municipal and industrial purposes and recreation. The cities of Fort Smith and Van Buren need a supply of 30 million gallons per day for municipal and industrial purposes by 1970 and at least an additional 30 million gallons per day for future needs. The Chief of Engineers recommends construction of Pine Mountain Dam and Reservoir for purposes of flood control, water supply, and recreation and fish and wildlife at an estimated first cost of $10 |
