MAY 7, 1935.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union and ordered to be printed Mr. WILSON of Louisiana, from the Committee on Flood Control, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H. R. 7314] The Committee on Flood Control, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 7314) authorizing a preliminary examination of Point Remove Creek, Ark., a tributary of the Arkansas River, with a view to controlling floods, having considered same, report thereon with the recommendation that it do pass. The Point Remove Basin, in Conway and Pope Counties, Ark., has a total darinage area of approximately 390 square miles. The lower portion of the basin along the Arkansas River, at the mouth of Point Remove and upstream along the creek, is subject to periodical overflows in the extent of approximately 40 square miles. This condition is due to the fact that from the mouth of Point Remove upstream for a distance of 12 to 15 miles, the main channel is very crooked, the banks covered with vegetation, thus retarding the flow into the Arkansas River. At a point approximately 15 miles upstream from the mouth of the creek, the land becomes hilly and the stream is confined between steep banks with rolling slope, thus providing a quick run-off for the larger portion of the drainage area and emptying the headwater onto the lower portion in such volume that the lower channel will not carry the water. The land in the lower basin, approximately 40,000 acres, affected by this overflow is 60 percent timbered, the other 40 percent being farmed when the overflow condition will permit. This entire area is alluvial land and well adapted to agriculture if properly drained and the headwaters controlled. |
