<br />The corps of Engineers is deve16Pihg the <br />information about flood effects on the main <br />channels of rivers while the Department of <br />Agriculture is covering the watershed areas, <br />including treatment and protection needs. <br />Main channel flooding will be described and <br />reported in the flood control appendix and <br />watershed treatment and damages will be in <br />the watershed management appendix. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />General progress has been slow. Much <br />information is being assembled, but coordina- <br />tion between states and agencies is very time- <br />consuming. The Type I Survey at the present <br />time is slightly behind planned schedules. <br />Some of the delay may well be overcome as <br />data is finalized and plan development <br />initiated. On the whole, progress is sat- <br />isfactory and many items of work are rapidly <br />nearing completion. <br /> <br />On the Type IV River Basin Surveys, the <br />second draft of the Yampa River Basin report <br />is in the process of being revised. Addi- <br />tional material is being incorporated in the <br />report to emphasize the needs of the basin <br />and the opportunities for development of the <br />natural resources. The next draft will be <br />available for review by the Washington <br />advisory committee in November. Precluding <br />any major delays, the report should be <br />printed in January. <br /> <br />Current work on the Dolores River Basin <br />includes preparation of the water yield and <br />precipitation maps. Final printing has been <br />completed on the land ownership, soils, <br />geology, vegetative cover, and recreation <br />maps. Preliminary writeups on the report <br />sections are in various stages of development. I <br />The first draft of the report should be com- <br />pleted during the first quarter of 1969. <br /> <br />The Type IV study on the San Juan Basin <br />is being coordinated with the Type I study <br />
