<br />Preconstruction planning is underway on Stockton and .Kaysinger Bluff
<br />Reservoir Projects. Planning on Stockton has reached a stage that
<br />construction can be initiated in 1963 if-funds are made available.
<br />On Kaysinger Bluff Project in addition to active preconstruction plan-
<br />ning, an investigatTon relative to increased conservation pool and
<br />inclusion of power in the project has beeh carried on during Fiscal
<br />Year 1962 and a recommendation for such change at Kaysinger Bluff is
<br />now before Congress. In addition, to coordinate with state Highway
<br />work, funds have been made available in connection with a State under-
<br />taking to relocate a State Highway out of the reservoir area. Planning
<br />ldll be continued and, if funds are made available, construction can be
<br />initiated on the Kaysinger Bluff Project in 1964.

<br />In the following paragraphs is given a brief description of projects
<br />which are part of the overall program of development of the basin but
<br />are not closely related in their operation to other projects.
<br />
<br />At Sheridan, JIyoming, the ..,ork on channel improvements and levees is
<br />underway in the lower portion of Big Goose Creek and in a short reach
<br />of Little Goose Creek near its confluence with Big Goose Creek. Work
<br />on the upstream portions of Little Goose Creek and Big Goose Creek is
<br />expected to be accomplished in Fiscal Years 1963 and 1964.
<br />
<br />At Sioux City, rOlfa, the Floyd River Project is well started. Initial
<br />work is on the relocation of railroads and the construction of bridges
<br />to span the new channel. During Fiscal Year 1962 work was started on
<br />channel and levee work downstream from 18th Street. Incidentally,
<br />local people at Sioux City put up a successful fight against high
<br />flows on both the Floyd and Big Sioux Rivers resulting from melt of
<br />the winter accumulation of snow.

<br />
<br />The Little Sioux River Project which consists of channel and levees
<br />along the lower reaches of the Little Sioux and its tributaries is
<br />about 85 percent complete. Completion of the project is scheduled
<br />in 1964.
