APPROPRIATION TITLE:

Construction, General Reservoirs (Flood Control)

PROJECT: San Gabriel River, Texas (Continuing)

LOCATION: The improvement will consist of a system of three lakes located in Williamson County in the San Gabriel River watershed. Granger Dam is located at river mile 31.9 about 7 miles east of Granger, Texas. North San Gabriel Dam is located at river mile 4.3 on the North Fork of the San Gabriel River about 3.5 miles northwest of Georgetown, Texas. South Fork Dam will be located at river mile 4.7 on the South Fork of San Gabriel River about 3 miles southwest of Georgetown, Texas.

AUTHORIZATION:

Flood Control Acts of 1954 and 1962

BENEFIT-COST RATIO: Reformulation of the remaining portion of the project is underway, consequently a remaining benefitremaining cost ratio is not currently available. The benefit-cost ratio for the fiscal year for which Congress appropriated initial construction funds (FY 1971) was 1.7 to 1. The benefit-cost ratio was based on the project's fair share of system benefits in the Brazos River system. As the next added unit in this system, the benefit-cost ratio was 2.4 to 1.

1/ Until South Fork Lake is constructed, assignment of storage at Granger Dam and Lake will be as follows: flood control, 162,200 acre-feet and water supply 37,900 acre-feet.

A

JUSTIFICATION: The combination of Granger Dam and Lake, North San Gabriel Dam and Lake Georgetown, and South Fork Lake
will provide flood protection to about 20,900 acres of land along the San Gabriel River. It will materially reduce
flood damages to about 33,600 acres of land along the Little River below the mouth of the San Gabriel River and about
1,053,600 acres of land along the Brazos River below the mouth of the Little River. The lakes are an important unit in
the Brazos River system. The maximum flood of record (September 1921) caused estimated damages of $8,358,000.
recurrence of this flood under present conditions of development and at current prices, would cause damages estimated at
$72,513,000, of which $8,512,000 would be prevented by the combination of San Gabriel projects. The most recent flood
occurred during September 1981, causing damages estimated at $2,332,000 all of which were prevented by the completed
portion of the project. These damages at current development and October 1984 prices are estimated at $2,729,000. The
lakes will provide storage for municipal, industrial, and other beneficial uses which will serve the water supply needs
of the San Gabriel River watershed, as well as the lower Brazos River Basin where a need exists for good quality water.
The dependable water supply yield of the three lakes is estimated to be 16.2 million gallons per day for Granger, 10.3
million gallons per day for Lake Georgetown, and 6.7 million gallons per day for South Fork. The average annual bene-
fits are as follows:
