PHILADELPHIA Yesterday the, Philadelphia District of Iho U.S. Army Corps of Engineers answered the (most frequently asked questions about the proposed 'Hocks Island Dam.

Corps -spokesman, John E.

Quaile, said, "It is possible to cause failure of the Tacks Island Dam by bombing. However, from a military point at view, chances of this occurring are remote. "The type of dam proposed for Tocks Island, a low profile rock and earthflll Structure, is virtually invulnerable to a conventional bombing attack. Even with nuclear weapons, placement of a bomb as to cause total destruction would be very difficult." Has any provision been made to deal wtth the seaiment that will accumulate in the reservoir? The report slated, "The economic Me of this project is 100 years and provisions for the accumulation of sedimentation for the 100-year period has been provided in the amount of 19,000 acre-feet (30,650,000 cubic yaib), which meets the estimated requirement. What Is being done about the possibility of pollution in ithe reservoir? Quaile said, "The matter of pollution and contamination is now under study by the local, state and federal governments, as well as Hhe Delaware River Basin Commissions.

This study has not been completed, but it is contemplated that the solu- fion will provide a sound, practical melhod for the disposition of contaminants so as not to pollute the waters of the reservoir. Quaile said that the Corps of Engineers is continuing their stufly of prctJems relating to 'the Tocks Island 'Dam and the solution to these problems wiU ba found before any construction work is done at the site.
