"early-action" plan of the comprehensive study, namely: Days
Creek and tributaries, Arkansas and Texas; McKinney Bayou,
Arkansas and Texas; and West Agurs Levee, Louisiana. The re-
port was submitted to the Chief of Engineers on June 16, 1972.
On March 8, 1973, the proposed report to the Chief of Engineers
was released for interagency review at the departmental level.
The Secretary of the Interior, in commenting on the proposed
report, indicated that measures proposed for mitigation of dam-
ages to fish and wildlife relative to the McKinney Bayou project
are inadequate, and more extensive measures are proposed. A re-
vised mitigation plan has been developed jointly by the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service and the New Orleans District. A re-
port on the revised plan was forwarded to higher authority in
August 1975.

The "early action" plan underway in the Tulsa District in-
cludes Durant, Albany, Parker, Sherwood - Broken Bow Modification,
Tuskahoma, and McGee Creek lakes in Texas. Draft reports on
Parker and Albany lakes are being reviewed and are scheduled for
completion during FY 1976.

2. Boswell Lake, Boggy Creek, Oklahoma. (See Map 1) A sur-
vey scope study to determine whether the authorized Boswell Lake
(located 3 miles west of Soper, Choctaw County, Oklahoma) should
be modified to include water conservation. The study includes
consideration of alternative lake for flood control, water sup-
ply, and allied purposes. Since authority is available to modify
Boswell lake, the abbreviated report shows that no additional ac-
tion is required by Congress. The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors and the office, Chief of Engineers, concur. Report
submitted to the Committee on Public Works, U. S. Senate.

3. Mud Creek, Idabel, Oklahoma. (not shown on Map) Section
205 of the 1948 Flood Control Act (as amended). A scope study of
the flood control problem on Mud Creek at ldabel, Oklahoma. The
approved plan is a channel improvement and flood plain management
program. Negotiations are underway for a Section 221 of Public
Law 91-611 agreement. Plans and specifications for construction
are being prepared.

4. Red River below Denison Dam, Bank Stabilization (See Map
A survey scope to reevaluate the distribution of costs between
Federal and non-Federal interests for bank stabilization work in
the river reaches from Denison Dam to head of levees near Index,
Arkansas. The project was reported in House Document No. 304 and
approved by the River and Harbor Act of 1968 (P. L. 90-483).
Local interests requested, through Senate resolution of April 17,
1969, that the non-Federal cash contributions assigned the project
be reevaluated. The final report was submitted in June 1975 and
is being reviewed by higher authority.
