Monday January 22, 1 973 WELLSVILLE DAILY REPORTER. WELLSVILLE. NEW YORK Page 3 Area dam plan backed by Corps In a letter written to Representative James F. Hastings, Robert L. Moore, of the Army Corps of Engineers, has said that the "Rasper Plan" and other small impoundment sites in the general area will be considered as alternatives to the Stannard Reservoir but that a dam at Stannard appears to be the best solution to the flooding problem.

Col. Moore said, the small sties do not control enough drainage area and supply sufficient flood control storage to protect the Wellsville and upper Genesee area. No other way appears possible to provide protection from a storm similar to 'Agnes' in the Wellsville area and for other villages in the upper Genesee than a large reservoir such as Stannard, or massive levees at each community." He went on to say, "We are aware of the problems inherent in recreational development of lands associated with reservoir development including those of waste disposal and pollution. With proper planning, however, these problems can and would be adequately treated. Our Environmental Resources Branch and other elements of the District staff as well as other State and Federal agencies are currently studying these and other environmental aspects of the proposed Stannard Reservoir Project.

Their findings will be made public at meetings and in the forthcoming Environmental Statements." Col. Moore said that a reevaluation of the Stannard Reservoir was made in light of the effects of the June flood, and this reevaluation was submitted to higher authority on Sept. 23, 1972. This reevaluation, with flood control as a major purpose, indicated that the Stannard Reservoir would afford major protection to the upper Genesee River Valley above Portageville from a recurrence of an event similar to Tropical Storm Agnes. "The reservoir, in conjunction with the proposed Wellsville Rectification Project of the Corps of Engineers and completion of the Route 17 arterial highway by New York State through Wellsville, would have essentially eliminated damage at Wellsville from the Genesee River.

There would have been major damage attributable to Dyke Creek and other side-hill runoff from tributaries," the letter said. "The Coordinating Committee study investigated possible small Soil Conservation Service impoundment sites on the tributaries to the Genesee. There are several sites on Dyke Creek which could afford some flood relief from Dyke Creek at Wellsville, but were not found to be justified at that time." In answer to questions concerning the manner in which the Corps of Engineers handled area streams after the June flood, Col. Moore said, "I must state that the Corps of Engineers has not dredged. We have removed shoals and debris in some areas affected by 'Agnes' in accordance with provisions of Public Law 91-606.

We have coordinated our activities with a propriate New York State agencies. Our major effort in the upper Genesee Valley has been on main stem of the Genesee River. The Corps of Engineers did not plan, execute or monitor a large number of stream channel restoration jobs done on minor streams in New York State."
