STATUS: During the early stages of the AE&D work performed ai'ter authoriza-
tion, the administrative decision was made to separate further project
development work by basin. (For remainder of project, see Arkansas River
Basin Above Keystone Dam, item no. 38).

Red River Basin: The control facility at Area V, Estelline Springs has been
operational since 1964. Construction initiation at Area VIII was authorized
in 1974. Collection and transmission facilities and the Truscott Brine
Embankment are complete and are scheduled for operation in FY 84. Construc-
tion approval of remaining areas delegated to the office of the Secretary of
the Army (OSA) by Water Resources Development Act of 1976. Supplementary
Data to Phase I, GDM (DM No. 25) reai'firms that the project is both
technically and economically feasible (BCR = 1.6). Supplemental Data to DM
No. 25 was submitted to OSA in January 1981. The estimated Federal cost of
the project is $181,500.

DESCRIPTION: In a joint study begun in 1957, the US Public Health Sevice and
the Tulsa District Corps of Engineers located the natural pollution areas and
determined the contribution of pollutants from individual areas to the
ri vers. The following major salt sources were identified on tributaries of
the Red River in Oklahoma and Texas:

Red River Basin: Area V, flood plain of the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red
River, Estelline, TX; Area VI, Elm Fork of the Red River, Harmon County, OK;
Area VII, North Fork of the Wichita River, Cottle County, TX; Area VIII,
South Fork of the Wichita River, King County, TX; Area IX, North and Middle
Pease Rivers, Cottle County, TX; Area X, Middle Fork of the Wichita River,
King County, TX; Areas XIII-XIV, Jonah and Salt Creeks of Prairie Dog Town
Fork of the Red River, Childress County, TX; Area XV, Little Red River,
Briscoe County, TX. The selected plan is based on the collect and dispose
concept. The overall plan includes three collection concepts (shallow wells,
low flow dams, collection detention reservoirs), a series of cross country
pipelines and pump stations, and three brine lakes.

SPONSOR: Oklahoma Water Resources Board and Red River Authority of Texas.
