The Board further recommends that, following authorization <br />of the project, detailed site investigation and design be made for the <br />purpose of accurately defining the project lands required; that sub- <br />sequently, advance acquisition be made of such title to such lands as <br />may be required to preserve the site against incompatible developments; <br />and that the Chief of Engineers be authorized to participate in the <br />construction or reconstruction of transportation and utility facilities <br />in advance of project construction, as required to preserve such areas <br />from encroachments and avoid increased costs for relocations. <br /> <br />19. On the foregoing basis, the net cost to the United States for <br />the recommended improvement is estimated at $29,223,000 for construc- <br />tion and $40,000 annua lly for operation, maintenance, and replacements. <br /> <br />FOR THE BOARD: <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />R.
