<br />SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT <br /> <br />SUMMAR! <br /> <br />with a notch 540 feet long and 11 vertical depth of 4 feet located in <br />the center of the ogee section. Spillway flows would be directed into <br />an arroyo which joins Fountain Creek about a mile below the dam. At <br />spillway crest elevation, the reservoir formed by the dam would be <br />about five miles long with a surface area of 4,900 acres. The storage <br />capacity at spillway crest would be 247,000 acre-feet, of whiCh 187,000 <br />acre_feet would be allocated to flood control, 40,000 acre. feet for <br />sediment retention, and 20,000 acre-feet for recreation. The plan of <br />the project, sections, and details are shown on Plates 1 through 4. <br />Engineering features are listed in Table 1. <br /> <br />REVIEW SURVEY FOR FLOOD CONTROL ~~o ALLIED PURPOSES <br />ARKAl'SAS RIVER AND TRlllurARIES.l.WVE JOI-l."
