FORTY-SECOND BIENNIAL REPORT 47 



Project 49. Tahoe Forest Flow Maintenance Dams 



Plans and specifications have been prepared for the flow maintenance dams pro- 

 posed for this forest. The construction program was initiated in 1952 and the dam 

 on Big Downey Lake was finished. 



Project 51. Sequoia National Forest Flow Maintenance Program 



The Department of Fish and Game turned over $39,900 to the U. S. Forest Service 

 for construction. Dams are planned at the Indian Basin and Millwood sites. At the 

 end of the biennium surveys of the dam sites were just being completed. 



Project 57. San Diego River Flow Maintenance and Development Program 



Test borings indicated that foundation conditions were unsatisfactory for the 

 development of warm-water fish ponds. The Wildlife Conservation Board canceled 

 the project in June, 1952. 



Project 58. San Diego County Flow Maintenance Program 



Surveys failed to disclose any suitable dam sites and the project was canceled and 

 the funds recovered in June, 1951. 



Project 61. Shasta River Fish Counting Dam 



The Division of Architecture estimates were well over the amount allocated 

 by the Wildlife Conservation Board and possibilities of reducing construction costs 

 are being explored. 



Project 62. Canyon Creek Fish Ladder 



The owners agreed to the removal of the dam, thus eliminating the need for a fish 

 ladder. The project was completed in October, 1951, when the dam was removed by 

 the Department of Fish and Game. 



Project 63. Sawyer's Bar Auxiliary Dam 



The Department of Fish and Game made improvements to the existing ladder which 

 were satisfactory to serve the project. This project was completed in September, 1951. 



Project 67. Sacramento River Weir (Rough Fish Control Barrier) 



Additional studies showed that this project was infeasible and the project was 

 cancelled in June, 1951. 



Project 72. Ramer Lake 



This project is being constructed under the supervision of the Bureau of Game 

 Conservation. Roads are now being built and water controls installed. 



Project 73. Crystal Lake Level Maintenance 



This project was completed in November, 1950. 



Project 74. Coachella Valley Public Fishing Areas 



Preliminary plans and estimates for the construction of two lakes indicated that 

 the cost would be excessively high. Alternate sites are now being studied, with attention 

 being given to Five Finger Lake, where a lease has been negotiated with the Indian 

 Service. 



Project 77. Lindo Lake Public Fishing Area 



The final contracts for the completion of this project were let in June, 1952 by the 

 County of San Diego. 



Project 81. San Bernardino National Forest Stream Improvement 



Test dams which were constructed during the dry years stood up very well during 

 the heavy run off of 1951. Plans are now under way to employ a stream improvement 

 crew to carry out the program. 



Project 82. Dry Lake Level Maintenance 



The U. S. Forest Service has packed in the necessary material and construction 

 will be undertaken during the summer of 1952.
