It supersedes a similar report revised in 1961. The reports in the Port Series cover the principal United States Coastal and Great Lakes ports, and are compiled and published by the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army, and by the Maritime Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce, under authority of Section 7 of the River and Harbor Appropriation Act of July 1918 and Section 8 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. In accordance with the agreement for cooperation between the two agencies, the information on Port and Harbor Conditions and Port and Harbor Facilities is prepared and published as Part 2 of the Series by the Port Facilities Division, Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. Information on Port Administration and Federal Services, Port and Terminal Services and Charges, and Steamship Services is prepared and published as Part 1 by the Office of Ports and Intermodal Systems, Maritime Administration, U. S. Department of Commerce. Acknowledgement is made of the valuable assistance given by the District Engineers, U. S. Army Engineer Districts, Chicago, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan; facility operators; port organizations; shipping and transportation companies; and city officials in the work of compiling data for this report. The information contained in this report for the Wisconsin and Michigan ports was current in September 1972, information on the Indiana ports was current in September 1973. Additional revised data for all ports have been included through July 1974.1 THE PORT OF GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS LOCATION AND GENERAL CONDITIONS Green Bay, Wisconsin, is located at the mouth of the Fox River at the southern end of Green Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. By water, Green Bay is 180 statute miles northwest from Milwaukee, Wisconsin,via the Sturgeon Bay Canal. Entry to the harbor is made via an 11%-mile long channel, extending from the 26-foot depth in Green Bay to the mouth of the river. The port area lies along the banks of the Fox River extending from the mouth to a turning basin upstream at the city of De Pere, Wisconsin, a distance of approximately 6.5 miles. The city of Green Bay is located along both banks of the lower 3.5-mile portion of the river. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project for Green Bay Harbor authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1866 and modified by subsequent acts, of which the latest is 23 October 1962, provides for: An entrance channel in Green Bay 26 feet deep for a distance of about 11% miles from that depth in the bay to Grassy Island at widths of 500 feet to Tail Point Light then 300 feet to Grassy Island; an entrance channel and river channel 24 feet deep and 300 feet wide from Grassy Island to a point about \ mile upstream from the mouth of the Fox River; then a Fox River channel 24 feet deep at varying widths to a point 1,700 feet upstream from the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad bridge, then 18 feet deep and 150 feet wide to the city of De Pere with a turning basin at the upper end; a turning basin 24 feet deep at the mouth of the East River; and a turning basin 20 feet deep just above the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad bridge. As of June 1973, the project was 98 percent complete. Work remaining to be done consists of dredging from 150feet downstream of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad bridge through and to 1,700 feet upstream of the bridge. This portion is considered inactive . All depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955) . The current in the river and bay varies from 0 to 3 miles per hour and may run in either direction. Occasionally temporary water level fluctuations of about 2\ feet above or below the mean lake level occur, due to wind and variations in barometric pressure. Ordinary fluctuations in the lower Fox River at De Pere Dam are 1 foot above and 1.4 feet below mean stage, and the wind and variations in barometric pressures cause extreme fluctuations of 2.5 feet above and 4.0 feet below mean stage. Controlling depths within the project area and dates of survey are: Entrance channel: Deep water to Tail Point Light 26 feet June 1974 Tail Point Light to Grassy Island 26 feet Nov. 1974 Grassy Island to mouth of Fox River Fox River channel: 24 feet Nov. 1974 Mouth of river to Main Street Bridge 24 feet July 1973 East River turning basin Main Street Bridge to Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Rail- 18 feet July 1973 road bridge Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad bridge to Chicago 22 feet Nov. 1972 and North Western Railroad bridge Turning basin above Chicago and 20 feet Nov. 1972 North Western Railroad bridge Chicago and North Western Railroad 20 feet Oct. 1973 bridge to De Pere 9 feet Apr. 1973PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 3 The existing project for Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan Ship Canal was authorized by the 1873, 1892, 1902, 1935, and 2 March 1945 River and Harbor Acts which provide for: An outer harbor or stilling basin protected by two converging breakwaters, each 1,344 feet long, extending from shore on either side of easterly or Lake Michigan end of canal; for a revetted canal 7,200 feet long, varying in width from 160 to 250 feet; for a channel 23 feet deep in rock cut, extending from that depth in Lake Michigan to about 800 feet west of the east entrance of the revetted canal, a length of about 0.6 mile; thence a channel 22 feet deep through an additional 6,400 feet of revetted canal and through Sturgeon Bay to the vicinity of Sherwood Point, a length of about 8 miles, total length of channel is about 8.6 miles; width of channel being 600 feet in Lake Michigan, reducing to 200 feet through the harbor and 130 to 220 feet through the revetted canal, thence 250 feet through Sturgeon Bay to a point 5,400 feet northwest of the railroad bridge in the city of Sturgeon Bay and thence 500 feet to the vicinity of Sherwood Point; and for a turning basin 20 feet deep, on the southwesterly side of the channel, southeasterly of the highway bridge. The project was completed in 1946. All depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 576.8 feet below mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955). The current in the canal and bay varies from 0 to 7 miles per hour in either direction. A controlling depth of 22 feet prevails generally throughout the project channels according to surveys made in June 1972 covering the entrance channel from Lake Michigan and in 1970 and 1973 covering the remainder of the channels. A controlling depth of 20 feet prevails in the turning basin southeast of the highway bridge according to a survey of September 1970.HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY LOCAL INTERESTS In 1926, the City of De Pere contributed $50,000 in accordance with the provisions of House Document No. 294, 68th Congress, 1st Session, to pay for all dredging for enlarging and deepening the turning basin, and for deepening that part of the inner channel within the city limits to 18 feet. In accordance with provisions of Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 40, 72d Congress, 1st Session, the City of Green Bay contributed $20,000 in 1935 toward the cost of widening and deepening the channel, and removal of shoals in Fox River within the city limits. The Act of 23 October 1962 provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way when and as required for construction and maintenance of the project. Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the improvements. Provide and maintain depths where necessary between the new channel limits and terminal facilities commensurate with related project depths. Accomplish such alterations as required in sewer, water supply, drainage, and other utilities and furnish required spoil disposal areas and necessary dikes, bulkheads, and embankments. All requirements have been complied with. ANCHORAGES There are no designated anchorage areas for Green Bay Harbor, and the channels are not adapted for anchoring vessels. Two designated anchorage areas in Sturgeon Bay are described as follows: (a) Area 1. Beginning at a point bearing 126°, 3,000 feet from the fixed green Sturgeon Bay Canal Leading Light mounted on the highway bridge; thence 120°, 1,200 feet, this line being parallel to and 150 feet from the channel edge; thence 222°, 500 feet; thence 300°, 1,200 feet; thence 042°, 500 feet to the point of beginning.PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 5 (b) Area 2. Beginning at a point 160 feet from the shoreline and on the east line of 15th Avenue extended; thence south 530 feet to a point 100 feet from the northern edge of the channel; thence southeasterly 2,350 feet along a line parallel to the northern edge of the channel to a point on the east line of 18th Avenue extended, using that portion of 18th Avenue that runs in a true north-south direction perpendicular to Utah Street; thence north 530 feet along this line of 18th Avenue extended to a point approximately 400 feet from the shoreline; thence northwesterly 2,350 feet along a line parallel to the northern edge of the channel to the point of beginning. BRIDGES Six bridges cross the Fox River in the vicinity of Green Bay and a seventh bridge is under construction. The new Ashwaubenon-Allouez Bridge is to be situated approximately 1 3/4 miles south of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad bridge and will be a fixed structure with a horizontal opening of 220 feet and a vertical clearance of 60 feet above low water datum. The bridge is scheduled for completion in 1976. Detailed information regarding the above-mentioned bridges is given in the table on the following page. The six bridges crossing the East River are in that portion of the river not used for commercial navigation and therefore are not included in the table.BRIDGES CROSSING THE FOX RIVER STATUTE MILES ABOVE MOUTH LOCATION AND NAME TYPE DRAW OPENINGS -CLEAR WIDTH (1) CLEAR HEIGHT ABOVE LWD (FEET) PURPOSE FOR WHICH USED RIGHT (FEET) LEFT (FEET) CENTER (FEET) 1.02 Green Bay and Western Rail- road and Chicago and North Western Transportation Co.

WISCONSINPORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 7 WEATHER CONDITIONS The climate in Green Bay is materially modified by the surrounding topography. This modification results primarily from the waters of Green Bay, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior, and to a lesser extent, the slightly higher terrain north, south, and westward terminating in the Fox River Valley. The winters are long with steady freezing temperatures, however, the extreme temperatures are modified by the proximity of the water. This modification also affects the summer temperature, reducing the number of extremely hot days to a very few. Precipitation over the year falls predominantly during the 5-month period, May through September. In winter, the surrounding terrain again favors Green Bay by tending to decrease the amount of snowfall. The snowfall in Green Bay is less than in nearby communities with slightly higher altitude. The dates for opening and closing of the general navigation season for Green Bay for the period 1960 through 1969 are: Opening Closing Earliest date.. March 31 December 6 Latest date.... April 27 December 30 The dates for Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan Ship Canal are: Opening Closing Earliest date.. April 8 December 2 Latest date....

By water, Manitowoc is 79 statute miles north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and 106 statute miles southeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin, via Sturgeon Bay and the Lake Michigan Canal. The port area lies within the city limits of Manitowoc and consists of an outer and an inner harbor. The outer harbor is formed by two converging breakwaters providing some 78 acres of protected water area. Although not usable as an anchorage, the outer harbor breakwaters tend to reduce wave action in the lower Manitowoc River. The north breakwater, angular in shape, extends from the entrance some 2,500 feet to the foot of Chicago Street. The south breakwater, also angular in shape, extends some 2,300 feet shoreward from the entrance. The entrance channel, extending from the lake through the outer basin to the mouth of the river, is about 2,500 feet long, with a width of 370 feet at the breakwater entrance, 650 feet through the basin, and reducing to 180 feet at the river mouth. The inner harbor consists of the lower 1.8-mile segment of the Manitowoc River, extending from the river mouth to a point downstream of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company railroad bridge. The river channel narrows from the 180-foot width at the mouth, to 150 feet at the upper end. Sharp bends and bridge crossings cause intermittent reductions and enlargements in width of channel throughout its length. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 2 March 1907 and modified by subsequent acts of 1935, 1937, 1962, and 1968. The 1907, 1935, and 1937 Acts provide for:40 THE PORT OF MANITOWOC, WISCONSIN An outer harbor, or stilling basin, formed by two breakwaters extending from the shore on either side of the mouth of the Manitowoc River 425 feet apart at their outer ends and diverging to a distance of about 2,325 feet at their inner ends, having lengths of 2,540 feet and 2,290 feet for the north and south breakwaters, respectively; a channel 21 feet deep, extending from that depth in the lake through the outer harbor to the mouth of the river, a total length of about 2,500 feet, with a width of about 650 feet; a channel 21 feet deep in Manitowoc River from the river mouth to the second Soo Line railroad bridge, a distance of approximately 1.7 miles, with widths of 180 feet at the mouth, reducing to 150 feet at the upper end, with intermediate reductions and enlargements; removal of old north stub pier at the river entrance; and dredging in the outer harbor an approach channel 21 feet deep to a proposed city terminal on the lakefront south of the shore end of the south breakwater. The breakwaters are formed of stone-filled, timber cribs, concrete caissons, and piling, all of which are capped with concrete superstructures. The lake approach has been deepened to 23 feet under the general authority provided in Section 5 of the River and Harbor Act of March 4, 1915. Modification to the existing project was authorized by the Act of 1962 to provide for: An approach channel 25 feet deep and 800 fteet wide from deep water in the lake to the breakwater entrance, a distance of about 2,600 feet; A depth of 23 feet over a width of 800 feet in the outer harbor, thence over existing project widths in the river to Eighth Street; A depth of 22 feet over existing widths from Eighth Street to the upstream limit of the project; andPORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 41 Elimination of the authorized channel in the outer harbor to a previously proposed city terminal south of the south breakwater. This modification is considered inactive. A second modification was adopted in 1968, under authority of Section 107 of the River and Harbor Act of 1960. This modification provides for a channel 720 feet long, 110 to 150 feet wide, and 12 feet deep, extending from the present project limit to a point upstream of the second Soo Line railroad bridge. The work on the 1968 modification has been postponed indefinitely. Controlling depths within the project area and dates of survey are: Entrance between breakwaters 21 feet June 1973 Outer basin 21 feet June 1973 River channel to second Soo Line All depths in the Manitowoc River refer to low water datum, which for Lake Michigan is at elevation 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955). There are no officially designated anchorage areas in Manitowoc Harbor. Seven bridges cross the navigable portion of the Manitowoc River, three of the bridges--two highway and one railroad--span the improved, deep-draft, lower section of the river. The remaining four bridges span the upper, shallow-draft section of the river.

PORT AND HARBOR FACILITIES 53 GRAIN ELEVATOR Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated, owns and operates a 4,144,000-bushel, private grain elevator in connection with their malting plant. This elevator, located 1,200 feet in rear of the company's wharf, receives grain by rail and water. Details are given under Ref. No. 4 in the table of Piers, Wharves, and Docks, beginning on page 47. WAREHOUSES General cargo is not handled at the port of Manitowoc, consequently, a survey of public storage warehouses was not conducted. OPEN STORAGE Open storage areas at the port are used in connection with the operational requirements of the waterfront operators; these areas are not usually available to the public for storage. HOISTING FACILITIES - ASHORE AND AFLOAT Cranes, derricks, and special-handling equipment, located on the wharves within the port area, are used mainly for company operations and are described under "Mechanical Handling Facilities” in the table of Piers, Wharves, and Docks. However, by making special arrangements, heavy lifts of up to 75 tons can be made by The Manitowoc Company, Incorporated (P.W.D. Ref. No. 10) and lifts of up to 40 tons can be made by the Burger Boat Company, Incorporated (P.W.D. Ref. No. 12). Additionally, heavy-lift, land-based cranes are available locally on a rental basis. No floating cranes or derricks are based at the port. MARINE REPAIR PLANT AND DRYDOCKING FACILITIES The Burger Boat Company, Incorporated (P.W.D. Ref. No. 12) maintains a full complement of shops and equipment in connection with their vessel construction operations. In an emergency, the company will perform above-waterline repairs to vessels at berth.There are no facilities available for making major repairs, drydocking, or hauling out large deep-draft vessels at the port. The nearest facilities are located at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, and are described under the Green Bay section of this report. FLOATING EQUIPMENT There are no commercial towing firms located at the port of Manitowoc. The McMullen & Pitz Construction Company (P.W.D. Ref. No. 17) operates two tugs for use primarily in conjunction with their marine contracting activities, but they are available to the public by special arrangement; details of these vessels are given below. "Erich"—diesel operated, 750 horsepower, overall length 74 feet, width 19.6 feet, draft loaded 11 feet. "Dauntless"—diesel operated, 340 horsepower, registered dimensions, overall length 52.6 feet, width 15.6 feet, and draft loaded 6 feet. Additional information on floating equipment can be obtained from Transportation Series No. 3, titled "Transportation Lines on the Great Lakes System." This report, published annually by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, describes the American flag vessels engaged in the carriage of freight and passengers, listing the net registered tonnage, length, width, draft, horsepower, carrying capacity, and other details of construction; and describes the operations of each vessel operator, listing the waterways used and the localities served.

The port area lies within the confines of Muskegon Lake, a natural harbor, about 5 miles in length, 1 to 2 miles in width, and with general depths of 30 to 40 feet. From Lake Michigan, the entrance is through a channel protected by two converging breakwaters forming an exterior basin with an area of about 110 acres. Three channels of the Muskegon River flow into the lake near the northeast end and are navigable for small boats passing under the fixed bridges above the mouths; the river has depths ranging from 2.5 to 9 feet in the 33 miles below the site of a former dam at Newaygo. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 2 March 1867 and modified by subsequent acts of which the latest is dated 23 October 1962 provides for: An exterior basin in Lake Michigan, formed by two arrowhead breakwaters, the south 1,514 feet and the north 1,404 feet long, 500 feet apart at outer ends diverging at an angle of about 90 degrees, inner ends connected with shore by suitable structures, 1,600 and 1,561 feet long on north and south sides, respectively; for removal of 1,003 feet of existing north pier and 1,106 feet of existing south pier; for repairing and maintaining revetment around old car ferry slip on south side of entrance channel; for dredging a flared channel witha depth of 29 feet from deep water in Lake Michigan narrowing to a width of 380 feet between breakwaters, thence increasing to 650 feet at a point 300 feet inside breakwaters, thence decreasing to 600 feet at a point 1,000 feet inside the breakwaters; a depth of 28 feet from this point over a width decreasing from 600 to 200 feet at the other ends of the inner piers; a depth of 27 feet over a width of 200 feet in the channel between the inner piers of Muskegon Lake. South breakwater and shore connection are built of concrete caissons and piling capped with concrete; the north breakwater is rubblemound; inner piers and revetments are built of stone-filled timber cribs and piling, and are capped with concrete. The project depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan, which is 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955) . The current in the entrance channel varies from 0 to 3 miles per hour and may run in either direction. Ordinary seasonal fluctuations of water level are one-half foot above to one-half foot below the mean stage and the wind and variations in barometric pressure cause temporary extreme fluctuations of about 1.5 feet above to 1.5 feet below the mean stage. As of April 1974 the controlling depth in the entrance channel was 30 feet, except for minor shoaling at the channel edges. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY LOCAL INTERESTS The Act of 23 October 1962 provided that local interests furnish, free of cost to the United States, all lands, easements, and rights-of-way including spoil disposal areasPORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 61 required for construction and maintenance of the project. Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the improvement. Provide and maintain depths where necessary in berthing areas commensurate with depth provided in related project areas. Local cooperation has been fully complied with, and the existing project was completed in 1965. The breakwaters and shore connections are generally in good condition except for the outer end of the south breakwater. The inner piers and revetments are in good condition. ANCHORAGES The outer basin is not adapted for anchorage. However, the anchorage is good in Muskegon Lake and moorings are available at the piers and wharves. Mooring to the breakwaters and revetments is prohibited. A special anchorage area has been established on the southwest side of Muskegon Lake shoreward of a line beginning at the intersection of the north line of Arlington Avenue and the east line of Edgewater Street, and bearing thence 145°, 2,110 feet, and thence 230° to the shore. BRIDGES Several fixed railroad and highway bridges cross the North and South Channels of the Muskegon River, however, there are no bridges crossing the deep-draft, navigation area. WEATHER CONDITIONS Lake Michigan has a very decided effect upon the weather and climate of this area. The prevailing south and southwest winds tend to moderate the temperature, resulting in warmer winter temperatures here than further inland, whereas in the summer, the tendency is just the opposite.Precipitation is fairly moderate averaging about 31.5 inches per year. Snowfall averages around 86 inches, with heaviest amounts occurring during December, January, and February. Car ferry steamers ply between Muskegon and Milwaukee Harbor throughout the year. The dates for opening and closing of the general navigation season for Grand Haven Harbor, approximately 13% miles south of Muskegon, for the period 1955 through 1964 are: Opening Closing Earliest date... March 4 November 11 Latest date.....

MARINE REPAIR PLANTS AND DRYDOCKING FACILITIES There are no facilities for repairing, drydocking, or hauling out large deep-draft vessels at the port of Muskegon; the nearest facilities are located at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, described under the Green Bay section of this report and at Chicago, Illinois, as described in Port Series No. 46, titled "The Port of Chicago, Illinois," last revised in 1973. Two plants without waterfront facilities are engaged in various types of marine repair work. These companies maintain shops and portable equipment for making abovewaterline repairs and for installing equipment, gear, and machinery on vessels berthed at various locations in the harbor.The Lorey Welding Company, 104 Division Street, Muskegon, Michigan 49441 performs plate, hull, boiler, and equipment repair, general welding work, and engine overhaul; and The Steel Fabricating Company of Muskegon, 5900 Southern Avenue, Muskegon, Michigan 49440 performs plate, hull, structural steel, and boiler repairs. FLOATING EQUIPMENT At the port, the use of tugs for assisting vessels to dock or undock is not compulsory, however, Bultema Dock & Dredge Company operates five diesel-powered tug boats in connection with their marine contracting business. These vessels—MLudington,M "South Haven," "Charlevoix," "James Edward," and "Mackinaw City"—are based at the company's waterfront facilities (P.W.D. Ref. Nos. 10 and 15), have ratings of 800, 330, 250, 150, and 135 horsepower, respectively, and are available for hire to the public by special arrangement. Additional information on floating equipment can be obtained from Transportation Series No. 3, titled "Transportation Lines on the Great Lakes System."

By water, the harbor is 101 statute miles northeast of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and 201 statute miles north of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Escanaba is a natural harbor with conditions permitting unobstructed use by large lake vessels. Gladstone is situated some 4.5 miles north of Escanaba, also on the west shore of Little Bay De Noc. Gladstone occupies a triangular-shaped land area which extends over a mile into the bay, with the harbor being a natural anchorage formed by an indentation in the shore. Kipling is located 1.5 miles north of Gladstone. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The portion of the bay constituting Escanaba harbor has natural depths of 30 to 40 feet, therefore, no harbor or channel improvements have been made by the United States. The existing project at Little Bay De Noc in the Gladstone-Kipling area was authorized by the 1962 River and Harbor Act which provided for: A channel 24 feet deep, 200 feet wide,and about 2,400 feet long from deep water in Little Bay De Noc to the Kipling waterfront, with suitable widening at the landward end to form a turning basin 550 feet wide and 24 feet deep. The project was completed in 1965.Soundings taken in February 1972 indicated controlling depths of 24 feet for the entire channel and turning basin with the exception of some shoaling to 23 feet in the westerly corner. All depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan which is 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955) . HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY LOCAL INTERESTS Slips and berthing areas at the ore and coal docks in Escanaba have been dredged by private interests out to deep water in the bay. Depths are adequate at the other docks and no dredging is required. The Act of 23 October 1962 provided that local interests will hold and save the United States free from damages due to construction and maintenance of the improvements; deepen and maintain berthing areas to a depth commensurate with that provided in the Federal project and make terminal facilities for unloading petroleum products at Kipling available to all on equal terms. All requirements have been complied with. ANCHORAGES Anchorage at Escanaba is available in the portion of the bay constituting the harbor, with natural depths of 30 to 40 feet at a distance of approximately 2,000 feet from shore. At Gladstone, the portion of the bay constituting the harbor has generally deep water in the eastern half. In places, the shoals interfere with the free movement of vessels. BRIDGES There are no bridges crossing the navigational area of this harbor.PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 87 WEATHER CONDITIONS Information concerning temperature conditions, precipitation, prevailing wind direction, and fog is not readily available for Escanaba and Gladstone, Michigan. The weather conditions at Green Bay, as presented on page 7 of this report, are most nearly representative of those prevailing at Escanaba. The dates for opening and closing of the general navigation season for Escanaba for the period 1960 through 1969 are: Opening Closing Earliest date March 29 November 17 Latest date . . . April 19 December 20 The average navigation season for Gladstone harbor is from April 15 to December 15.88 The C. Reiss Coal Co., Dock No. 2 (P.W.D. Ref. No. 2).

The port is entirely artificial and consists of an outer and an inner harbor. By water, Indiana Harbor is 7 statute miles southeast of Calumet Harbor, Illinois, and 31 statute miles west of Michigan City, Indiana. The outer harbor is comprised of breakwaters, an entrance channel and a protected basin constructed between areas of land-fill retained by bulkheads built into Lake Michigan, and a canal entrance channel extending from the basin through additional land-fill about 0.7 mile to the first Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway bridge. The inner harbor consists of the Indiana Harbor Canal, a turning basin "The Forks," and the Lake George and Calumet River Branches. The total length of the canal, including the two branches, is about 4 miles. Buffington and Gary Harbors, private breakwater protected harbors owned and maintained by United States Steel Corporation, are located in the city of Gary, approximately 2 3/4 and 7 1/2 miles east of the Indiana Harbor entrance, respectively. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project was authorized by the 1910, 1913, 1919, 1922, 1925, 1930, 1932, 1935, 1937, 1960, and 27 October 1965 River and Harbor Acts which provide for: A northerly rubblemound breakwater 1,120 feet long; an easterly, reinforced-concrete caisson breakwater 201 feet long with rubblemound extension of 2,300 feet to the north and construction of a light-house crib at the outer end; an outer harbor entrance channel generally 800 feet wide with a depth of 29feet; dredging an outer harbor basin to 28 feet deep, and a canal entrance channel to 27 feet deep; deepening main stem of Indiana Harbor Canal for a width of 190 feet with a depth of 25 feet from outer harbor to 100 feet lakeward of Dickey Place; widening canal to a bottom width of 260 feet with a depth of 22 feet from 100 feet lakeward of Dickey Place to The Forks and dredging Calumet River Branch from The Forks to 141st Street to same width and depth; a channel 22 feet deep and 160 feet wide in Lake George Branch from The Forks to White Oak Avenue; maintenance of a channel 20 feet deep and 80 feet wide in remainder of Calumet River Branch south of north line of 141st Street, construction of a turning basin at The Forks 22 feet deep, and a turning basin 22 feet deep lakeward of Canal Street. Portions of the northerly and easterly breakwaters have been authorized, by River and Harbor Acts of 3 March 1925 and 30 June 1932, to be sold to Youngstown Sheet <5c Tube Company and Inland Steel Company. Uncompleted portions of the 1930 and 1935 River and Harbor Acts are considered inactive. Controlling depths within the project area are: REACH CONTROLLING DEPTHS DATE OF (FEET) SURVEY Outer Entrance Channel 29 (100-ft. width) June 69 Outer Harbor Basin 28 (150-ft. width) May 71 Canal Entrance Channel Main Canal from 5 railroad 27 Apr. 72 bridges to Dickey Place Main Canal from Dickey Place 25 (150-ft. width) May 73 to The Forks turning basin 22 (100-ft. width) Mar. 74 Calumet River Branch 19 Mar. 74 Lake George Branch 22 (50-ft. width) Apr. 72 All depths in Indiana Harbor are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan which is 576.8 feet above mean waterPORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 105 level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955). Seasonal fluctuations in mean stage from low water in winter to high water in summer average about 1.2 feet. Winds and differences in barometric pressure cause daily local and temporary fluctuations of 0.1 to 0.5 foot or more. Seiches of 3 to 4 feet occur at infrequent intervals. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY LOCAL INTERESTS The Act of 26 August 1937 provides that the enlargement of the Indiana Harbor Canal shall not be undertaken until local interests have furnished a right-of-way 300 feet wide, and have constructed substantial bulkheads along the channel on the established lines shown on the map accompanying Rivers and Harbors Committee Document No. 13, 75th Congress, 1st session, provided that the improvement on one side may proceed in any section on fulfillment of the conditions for that side of the section, and provided further, that south of the turning basin at The Forks (beginning 450 feet south of the intersection of the present Calumet River Branch and the main stem bulkhead lines), widening and deepening by the United States shall be done only as the rights-of-way and bulkheads on at least one side of the channel are continuously provided southward from the above limit of the turning basin at The Forks. To provide for the 300-foot channel, a parcel of land (about 4.6 acres), generally 100 feet wide, lying on the east side of the Calumet River Branch, commencing at the north side of 141st Street and extending northward toward The Forks about 2,107 feet, has been conveyed to and accepted by the United States. Local interests have also constructed about 1,350 feet of bulkhead along the east side of the Calumet River Branch, and have reconstructed the bulkhead on the west side from The Forks to 141st Street. The Defense Plant Corporation (now Inland Steel Company) built a bulkhead along the southeast side of the canal between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company (upper Penn Central Transportation Company) bridge and Dickey Place Bridge; the United States has widened and deepened the east side of this portion of the widening. The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company has constructed a bulkhead along the northwest side of the canalbetween the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad bridge and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company (upper Penn Central Transportation Company) bridge, and the United States has widened and deepened the west side of this portion of the widening. All prior requirements have been fully complied with. The Act of 1965 provides that local interests agree to hold the United States free from damages due to construction works and maintenance of improvement; provide and maintain depths in berthing areas serving terminals commensurate with depth provided in related project area; and make required relocations of submarine utility crossings. Assurances have not been requested for work authorized by the Act of 1965. ANCHORAGES There are no officially designated anchorage areas at Indiana Harbor. BRIDGES Seven railroad bridges and three highway bridges cross Indiana Harbor Canal and the Lake George and Calumet River Branches within the project area. Additionally, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad bridge is in a permanent open position, and the bridge leaves have been removed from the Canal Street Bridge, however, the abutments remain. Vertical clearance is not restricted by any of the bridges when in open position, however, an overhead pipeline restricts it to 125 feet above low water datum at mile 0.67, and an electric powerline similarly restricts the clearance to 110 feet at mile 1.12 above mouth. Details of the above-mentioned bridges are given in the table on the following page.LIST OF BRIDGES STATUTE MILES ABOVE MOUTH LOCATION OR NAME TYPE DRAW OPENINGS -CLEAR WIDTH (FEET) CLEAR HEIGHT ABOVE LWD (FEET) PURPOSE FOR WHICH USED 0.62 MAIN CHANNEL Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway..

PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 107WEATHER CONDITIONS Information concerning temperature conditions, precipitation, prevailing wind direction, and fog is not readily available for Indiana Harbor, Indiana. Weather conditions in Chicago, Illinois, do not vary significantly from conditions at Indiana Harbor, and therefore, are considered representative. The climate in Chicago ranges from relatively warm in summer to relatively cold in winter. In late autumn and winter, airmasses that are initially very cold often reach the city only after being tempered by passage over one or more of the Great Lakes. Similarly, in late spring and summer, airmasses from the north, northeast, or east are cooler because of movement over the Great Lakes. Average daily maximum temperature ranges from 83.1°F. in July to a minimum of 17.7°F. in January. Summer thundershowers are often locally heavy and variable, with parts of the city of Chicago receiving substantial rainfall, and other parts none. About 10 percent of the yearly total precipitation falls as snow. Freezing rain sometimes occurs, but is usually light. Fog is infrequent, however, visibility is often restricted by local air pollution . Commercial traffic uses Indiana Harbor throughout the year. The dates for opening and closing of the general navigation season for Buffington Harbor for the period 1960 through 1969 are: Opening Closing Earliest date.. March 11 November 15 Latest date.... April 25 December 23 The dates for Gary Harbor are: Opening Closing Earliest date.. March 29 November 24 Latest date....

By water, Burns Waterway Harbor is about 16^ statute miles east of the port of Indiana Harbor, 19 statute miles east of Chicago (Calumet Harbor), Illinois, and 14 statute miles west of Michigan City, Indiana. The harbor is protected by the north breakwater, which is angular in shape, extending from the entrance westerly some 4,630 feet to the outer end of the west breakwater. The west breakwater extends from the north breakwater about 12,00 feet inshore to the steel bulkhead at Midwest Steel Division National Steel Corporation. The 400-foot wide entrance extends from deep water in the lake to the 94-acre outer harbor. The East Harbor Arm and West Harbor Arm are each 820 feet wide and have lengths of about 2,140 feet and 3,950 feet, respectively. L HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project was authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 28 October 1965 which provided for: a. A north breakwater 4,050 feet in length. b. A west breakwater 1,330 feet in length. c. An east breakwater 1,340 feet in length. d. An approach channel 30 feet deep and 400 feet wide, extending from deep water in Lake Michigan to the north end of the east breakwater. e. An entrance channel 28 feet deep and 800 feet wide from the end of the approach channel to the west breakwater.f. An outer harbor 27 feet deep having an area of 225 acres. In April 1966, the Indiana Port Commission submitted a Design Memorandum recommending adjustments to the harbor layout plan as presented in the project document. The essential differences are that the harbor plan proposed by the State locates the (north) breakwater closer to the shore; increases the length of the north breakwater by 580 feet; reduces the length of the west breakwater outer bulkhead by 130 feet; eliminates the east breakwater; and considerably reduces the water area in the harbor by construction of a land fill lakeward of the existing shore. Furthermore, the Corps of Engineers would maintain the north breakwater and west outer bulkhead in good repair and, in addition, would construct and maintain the navigation channel and the depth of the harbor up to a line 100 feet from the bulkheads. The navigational area would consist of a 400-foot wide entrance channel at the east side of the outer harbor at a minimum depth of 30 feet, an outer harbor dredged to a minimum depth of 28 feet, and the east and west harbor arms to a minimum depth of 27 feet. The dredged material to be placed behind the inner bulkhead system to create the first lift of fill material for the port's public dock area. The Indiana Port Commission would make disposal areas available for maintenance-dredged materials if and as necessary. The modification, as recommended by the Indiana Port Commission, was approved by the Chief of Engineers, 16 May 1966. The project as modified was completed in 1970. Soundings taken in May 1973 indicated controlling depths of 30 feet in the entrance channel and 27 feet in the remainder of the project area, except for shoaling to 26 feet in the southerly 500 feet of the west harbor arm. All depths are referred to low water datum for Lake Michigan which is 576.8 feet above mean water level at Father Point, Quebec (International Great Lakes Datum 1955).PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 137 Surface fluctuations of Lake Michigan in the locality have ranged from a high monthly mean of 5.18 feet above to 1.15 feet below low water datum. Monthly means within any year have varied from 0.36 to 2.23 feet. Temporary changes in water level may range from a few inches to several feet for periods varying from a few minutes to several hours. HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY LOCAL INTERESTS The existing project as authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1965 proposed the following items of local cooperation: a. Hold and save the United States free from damages due to the construction and maintenance of the project, including damages resulting from any shore erosion that may occur west of the harbor. b. Provide without cost to the United States all lands, easements and rights-of-way, including spoil disposal areas for the construction of the project and for subsequent maintenance, when and as required. c. Reimburse the United States for all excess costs for dredging should this work be done by other than hydraulic methods. d. Provide and maintain at local expense adequate public terminal and transfer facilities open to all on equal terms. e. Provide and maintain without cost to the United States depths in berthing areas and local access channels serving the terminals commensurate with the depth provided in the related project areas. f. Construct a fully integrated steel plant. g. Construct adequate east and west breakwater shore connections having lengths of 1,820 feet and 2,500 feet, respectively. The construction of theseshore connections is to be done either in advance of or concurrent with construction of the breakwaters by the United States. Local cooperation recommended by the Indiana Port Commission in the 1966 modification are: The State of Indiana agrees that all installations at the Burns Harbor site will meet all Federal, State, and local government agency standards for air and water pollution. Further, the State agrees to comply with the items of local cooperation as provided in Public Law 89-298, shown in House Document No. 160, 88th Congress, 1st session dated 1 October 1965. Bethlehem Steel Corporation will construct a riparian fill in Lake Michigan in the area immediately east of the harbor area, and the west bulkhead of this riparian fill will be the east limit of the Burns Harbor project. Since the bulkhead will be located on Bethlehem-owned property, the Corporation will pay for, own, and maintain this 2,870-foot bulkhead, and its docks will be located there, moreover its timely construction was provided for in agreements between Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the Port Commission. Construction and maintenance of the east outer bulkhead, as provided for in agreements between the Port Commission and Bethlehem Steel Corporation, complies with the required item of local cooperation in House Document No. 160, 88th Congress, 1st session. The Midwest Steel Division National Steel Corporation will construct a riparian fill in the lake immediately west of the port site, and the port's 3,700-foot west outer bulkhead will be the eastern boundary of this riparian fill. The inner 2,500 feet of this bulkhead will be constructed, owned, and maintained by Midwest Steel Division National Steel Corporation and will form its dock area. A 2,750-foot southerly extension of this same bulkhead, of which 1,500 feet will be constructed in the Phase I development, will complete the boundaryPORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 139 of the port's west harbor arm, and will also be owned, constructed, and maintained by Midwest Steel Division National Steel Corporation. Local cooperation has been fully complied with. ANCHORAGES There are no officially designated anchorage areas in Burns Waterway Harbor. BRIDGES There are no bridges crossing the navigation area of this harbor.
