SYLLABUS
Albeni Falls Project consists of a dam and powerhouse on the Pend Oreille River in Northern Idaho. The dam creates a 25-mile extension of the natural Pend Oreille Lake. Project operations stabilize \<Vater levels on the reservoir during the summer recreation season. The 94,600-acre reservoir, with a shoreline of 226 miles, lies in a scenic setting of forest and mountains and is an outstanding recreational attraction.
The Haster Plan is a comprehensive guide for the development~ operation and administration of all lands and water areas o~med in fee by the Corps of Engineers. The plan establishes the probable extent of public use over the life of the project and furnishes a plan of development to meet these public needs. Lands approved for acquisition in Supplement 1 to Design Nemo 23A for recreation development are also included in the Master Plan.
The Corps of Engineers has developed four all-purpose recreation areas on the reservoir. Development of other public agencies consist of three all-purpose areas, one swimming area, and one picnic area,
Estimated recreational usage of Albeni Falls reservoir was 383,000 visitor-days in 19633 vrith approximately 93,000 of the total visiting Corps areas. A study of public demand indicates recreation use of the reservoir lrJill reach )00 ~ 000 visitor-days by 1965 and increase to 1~700~000 by the year 2000.
Future development by other public agencies is limited due to their land holdings and the terrain. Accordingly, the Corps of Engineers has a prime responsibility for providing public access to the reservoir. All Corps of Engineers land suitable for recreation development has been a1located for Priority 1, Public Recreation Use in this Haster Plan.
This plan proposes recreation development at 7 ne1·r areas~ rehabili~ tation of 3 areas and e~~ansion of 3 areas. Estimated cost of the proposed program of development is ~,~832,)00. Comparison of annual benefits -vuth annual costs justifies development at each area.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.01 Authority. - Development ana management of recreational
facilities at reservoir areas under the control of the Department of
the Army was originally authorized by Section 4 of the Flood Control
Act, approved 22 December 1944. This Act was amended by Section 4 of
the Flood Control Act approved 24 July 1946 (P.L. 526, 79th Congress);
by Section 209 of the Flood Control Act of 1954 (P.L. 780, 83d Congress,
approved 3 Sept. 1954); and by Section 207 of the Flood Control Act of
1962 (P.L. 874, 87th Congress, approved 23 Oct. 1962). The latest
amendment reads as follows:
"Sec. 4. The Chief of Engineers, under the supervision of the Secretary of the Army, is authorized to construct, maintain, and operate public park and recreational facilities at water resource development projects under the control of the Department of the Army, to permit the construction of such facilities by local interests (particularly those to be operated and maintained by such interests), and to permit the maintenance and operation of such facilities by local interests. The Secretary of the Army is also authorized to grant leases of lands, including structures or facilities thereon, at water resource development projects for such periods, and upon such terms and for such purposes as he may deem reasonable in the public interest: Provided, That leases to non-profit organizations for park or recreational purposes may be granted at reduced or nominal considerations in recognition of the public service to be rendered in utilizing the leased premises: Provided furthe~, That preference shall be given to Federal, State or local governmental agencies and licenses or leases where appropriate, may be granted without monetary considerations, to such agencies for the use of all or any portion of a project area for any public purpose, when the Secretary of the Army determines such action to be in the public interest, and for such periods of time and upon such conditions as he may find advisable; And provided further, That in any such lease or license to a Federal, State, or local governmental agency which involves land to be utilized for the development and conservation of fish and wildlife, forests, and other natural resources, the licensee or lessee may be authorized to cut timber and harvest
crops as may be necessary to further such beneficial uses and to collect and utilize the proceeds of any sales of timber and crops in the development, conservation, maintenance, and utilization of such lands. Any balance of proceeds not so utilized shall be paid to the United States at such time or times as the Secretary of the Army may determine appropriate. The water areas of all such projects: shall.be open to public ~se generally, without charge for boating, swimming, bathing, fishing, and other recreational purposes, and ready access to and exit from such areas along the shores of such projects shall be maintained for general public use, when such use is determined by the Secretary of the Army not to be contrary to the public interest, all under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Army may deem necessary. No use of any area to which this section applies shall be permitted which is inconsistent with the laws for the protection of fish and game of the State in which such area is situated. All moneys received by the United States for leases or privileges shall be deposited in the Treasury of the United States as miscellaneous receipts."
Authority for preparation of a Master Plan for the development and manage-
ment of reservoir lands was contained in 2d Indorsement, Office, Chief
of Engineers, ENGWO, dated 28 August 1951, on letter of the District
Engineer, Seattle District, dated 13 April 1951, subject, "Preliminary
Report on Recreational Planning for Albeni Falls Reservoir." The Master
Plan was submitted on 29 March 1955 by letter, subject, 11 Transmittal of
Master Plan for Development and Management of Albeni Falls Reservoir,"
and approved by OCE 7 June 1955· Revision 1 to the Master Plan was sub-
mitted 16 August 1955· Authority to update the Master Plan was contained
in lst Indorsement, TU>DEN-PR, dated 20 February 1963, subject, "Updating
Existing Master Plans. 11
1.02 Purpose. - This Master Plan is a comprehensive guide for the
development, operation and administration of lands and water areas
administered by the Corps of Engineers as a part of the Albeni Falls
Project for the best use of the land in the interests of the public.
The plan establishes the probable extent of public use over the life of
2
the project and a plan of development of facilities to meet these needs.
Policies and procedures for administration and operation are set forth
to assure preservation of the scenic, biological and recreational
resources and coordination with interested Federal, State and local
agencies. The plan is intended to be flexible and will be revised to
meet changing needs and conditions.
1.03 Scope of Studies. - This report is based on field studies,
surveys and on office evaluations. The field studies included a recon
naissance of all Crops of Engineers fee-owned land, an inventory of all
public facilities in the reservoir area, a survey of private recreation
facilities on the reservoir, topographic surveys of Strong's Island and
Trestle Creek and a series of meetings with local, State and Federal
recreation and fish and wildlife agencies to obtain their views on the
plan of development. Office studies included layouts and design of
public-use developments, analysis of future recreational use of the
reservoir and benefit-cost studies to determine economic justification
for development.

SECTION 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
2.01 Authorization. - Albeni Falls Dam and Reservoir were authori
zed by the Flood Control Act, approved 17 May 1950. Construction began
in January 1951. Regulation of the lake level started in June 1952.
The first generator was placed on the line 25 March 1955, the second
started producing power 16 May 1955, and the third was_ in operation on
5 August 1955· The project was essentially complete on 31 December 1955·
2.02 Location and purpose. - The dam is on the Pend Oreille River
in Bonner County, Idaho, 2-1/2 miles east of Newport, Washington, and
50 miles northeast of Spokane, Washington (see Plate 1). Albeni Falls
Reservoir, which includes all of Pend Oreille Lake, lies in both Bonner
and Kootenai Counties, Idaho. Storage provided by Albeni Falls Dam
serves the multiple-purposes of power generation, navigation, flood con
trol, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation.
2.03 Engineering features of the project. - The dam is a concrete
gravity, gate-controlled structure with a spillway 472 feet long. The
overall length, including the nonoverflow abutment section, is 755 feet.
The height is 90 feet. Ten roller-train-type gates of vertical lift
type are installed in the spillway. A log chute 440 feet long, 6 feet
wide, 10 feet deep, which is gate-controlled, has been placed in a
tunnel under the right abutment of the dam. The powerhouse is 200 feet
wide and 300 feet long with three generators having a total installed
capacity rated at 42,600 kw. Further pertinent data are given in table 1.

2.04 Reservoir. - Lake Pend Oreille, a large natural lake, and
the 25 miles of the Pend Oreille River arm of the reservoir lie in a
scenic setting of forests and mountains. The 94,600 acres of clear,
cool water with sandy beaches and excellent trout fishing, and a shore
line of 226 miles makes this reservoir a major all-purpose recreation
area and one of the major attractions of the Pacific Northwest. Public
use of this body of water is restricted by large private ownerships of
the shoreline and by terrain characterized by long reaches too rugged
and steep for access except by boat. Table 2 shows the ownership of
reservoir lands and their approximate character. Plate 2 shows the loca
tion of all project lands. About 59 percent of the shorelands are in
private ownership. Of the remainder, 15 percent is railroad and high
way embankments, 11 percent is owned by the Corps of Engineers, 13
percent by the u. s. Forest Service and 2 percent by the State of Idaho
and the City of Sandpoint. About 86 percent of the u. S. Forest Service
land is too mountainous and steep for recreation use.
2.05 Reservoir operation. - Before construction of Albeni Falls
Dam, the level of Pend Oreille Lake was at a minimum stage during the
late summer and winter months, with high stages occurring during the
spring and early summer. Storage developed by Albeni Falls Dam for power
at-site and downstream, maintains the lake level at elevation 2062.5
throughout the period extending from July until the fall draft period.
Present plans for normal operation of the project provides for drawdown
to elevation 2060.0 starting about 1 October and ending on 1 November.
This is a firm requirement for prevention of bank erosion and water must
be spilled if it cannot be used in meeting the power load. From l November

to 1 December, the pool is drafted as required for power and thereafter
allowed to fluctuate above the 1 December elevation until kokanee incu
bation period is complete, usually in April or early May. A normal winter
operating level in recent years has been approximately 2055. After the
flood period in the late spring months, the reservoir is filled to the
summer level. Extreme flow conditions and system power requirements
necessitate an occasional deviation from this plan. This regulation has
resulted in a stabilized water surface on the reservoir during the busy
summer recreation season. Control of the wide fluctuations which occurred
under natural conditions has enhanced the recreational use of the
reservoir.

SECTION 3 - RECREATION AND COLLATERIAL RESOURCES
3.01 Historical and archeological resources. - The principal
Indian groups in the Pend Oreille Lake region were the Flathead and
the Kalispell Tribes living to the east of the lake. Other groups
were the Coeur d'Alene Indians from the south, the Kootenai Indians
from the east and the Spokanes from the southwest. An archeological
reconnaissance of the Albeni Falls Reservoir was made by the
Smithsonian Institute in 1950. All the data uncovered indicated that
the area did not have a permanent Indian population because of the
severe winters and that all nearby Indian groups utilized the region
during the spring, fall and winter months for hunting and fishing and
gathering berries and roots.
3.02 In 1809, David Thompson, explorer and fur trader built a
trading post known as Kullyspell House, 24 miles east of Sandpoint,
near the Samowen Forest Service campground. This was the first fur
trading post in the Northwest, antedating Astoria, Oregon by two years.
3.03 Recreation resources. - The clear waters of the Albeni
Falls Reservoir, its scenic shoreline topography, and its environment
of forest and mountains combine to make it an outstanding recreation
attraction. Long stretches of shore, too rugged for access except by
boat and too steep for residential construction, help preserve the
lake's natural beauty, yet most of the usable shoreline is served by
an adequate road system. A wide variety of recreational opportunities
are afforded by the reservoir. The summer season offers boating, water
skiing, camping, picnicking, horseback riding, mountain climbing, and
9
swimming. Fishing in the waters is a year-round activity. ~1igratory
waterfowl are plentiful and hunting in the autumn months is intensive.
Skiing is rapidly becoming a winter activity as evidenced by the construc
tion of the Schweitzer Ski Basin in the mountains northwest of the town
of Sandpoint.
3.04 Existing recreational developments. - Hundreds of summer homes
and numerous private resorts lie along the shore of Lake Pend Oreille.
Except for recreation developments by the Corps of Engineers, public access
is limited to tHo State Parks, a U. S. Forest Service recreation area and
a bathing beach operated by the City of Sandpoint. These are on widely
separated areas of the lake proper (see Plate 3). The Corps of Engineers
has developed four major recreation areas at a total cost of $256,000.
The most recent development, Riley Creek, was placed in operation in July
1963. Table 3 lists existing public recreation development on the Albeni
Falls Reservoir by the Corps of Engineers, u. S. Forest Service, the State
of Idaho and the City of Sandpoint. vJa terfront property is rising in
value rapidly and extensive subdivision of private lands for summer homes
and residential use is taking place.
3, 05 !:ish and wildlife resources. - The principal species of fish
are cutthroat, Dolly Varden, rainbow, Kamloops trout and kokanee (land
locked sockeye salmon). Whitefish, bass, crappie, blue-gill and perch are
also present. The Kamloops trout fishery is outstanding. These fish gain
a size of as much as 35 pounds. The kokanee average about 10 inches in
length and are so abundant sports fishermen are allowed to take 50 per day.
The sports fishermen took approximately 359,000 kokanee from Lake Pend

Oreille in 1962. The 1962 survey of fishermen's use, showed 22,000 resi
dent fishermen and 31,500 non-resident fishermen engaged in the sport of
fishing for kokanee. Waterfowl hunting on the reservoir is excellent.
Mallard pin-tail, blue-winged teal and widgeon nest along the shores. A
limited number of geese rear their young in this locality. Deer, bear and
migratory birds are plentiful.
3.06 The abundance of kokanee in the reservoir has permitted a com
mercial fishery to operate since 1941. The State of Idaho Fish and Game
Department estimates that commercial fishermen took 292,000 kokanee during
the 1962 season.
3.07 Forest resources. - The hills and mountains surrounding Albeni
Falls Reservoir are covered with timber most of which is commercial grade.
Mature trees have been harvested in the vicinity but a vigorous second
growth has replaced them. Bonner County has a thriving forest product
industry that produced 86,628,000 feet board measure in 1950, which increased
to 162,308,000 in 1956. A pole-treating plant and sawmills operate along
the shore of the reservoir.
3.08 Agriculture resources. - Agriculture in Bonner County is second
ary to lumber from the standpoint of both dollar return and products sold.
The 1949 census shows 1,185 farms with a total of 256,871 acres in Bonner
County, while in 1959, 846 farrr~ had a total of 240,492 acres. The value
of lands and buildings was $11,603,520 in 1949, and $17,724,550 in 1959·
The value of farm products sold in 1949 was $1,850,976 and $3,188,621 in
1959· Higher lands, formerly timbered, have been cleared and are utilized
for production of hay, small grain and other diversified crops. Both dairy
ing and beef production contribute to farm income.
~
3.09 Mining resources. - There are four lead-silver mines and numer
ous sand and gravel pits operating in Bonner County. The value of mineral
production in Bonner County was $101,000 in 1959, $107,000 in 1960 and
$151,000 in 1961. Mining adjacent to the reservoir is not significant.
Qperation of the reservoir has not affected this industry.

SECTION 4 - FACTORS INFLUENCING DEVELOPMENT
4.01 General. - Rugged mountains and clear streams and lake and
forest wildlife of northern Idaho re~resent a recreation resource which
is attracting a ra~idly increasing number of visitors from the region
and the nation. The reservoir lies along u. s. Highway 2, the ~rinci~al
east-west route to Glacier National Park. u. s. Highway 95, the ~rinci
~al north-south highway into Canada crosses the reservoir. The main lines
of the Great Northern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railway traverse
Pend Oreille River and Lake from east to west. This accessibility enhances
recreation use.
4.02 The ~o~ulation is 284,000 within a 75-mile radius of the ~rej
ect and 469,000 within a 125-mile radius. (See Plate 1 for boundaries).
S~okane, about 50 miles southwest, with a 1960 ~o~ulation of 181,608, is
the largest nearby urban center. A large ~ortion of the recreationists
originate outside this area coming from the Pacific Northwest and from the
nation as a whole. The following tabulation gives a com~arison of the
~resent and ~rejected ~o~ulation within a 75.- and 125-mile radius from the
~roject and within the United States, the State of Idaho, and selected
states. The ~rejected ~o~ulation of the United States and adjacent states
was obtained from the middle range of "Po~ulation Projection and Economic
Assumptions," ~re~ared by select committee on National Water Resources,
United States Senate, and ~ublished as Committee Print No. 5, 86th Congress,
2d session. The ~o~ulation ~rejection within a 75-mile and 125-mile radius
from the ~roject is based on the same trends.

4.03 Climate. Northern Idaho is subject both to oceanic and con-
tinental influences. Oceanic influences are strongest during the winter
and cause snowfall as the relatively warm, moist-laden air from the Pacific
Ocean is cooled over the mountain ranges. Continental influences are
strongest during the summer. The combination results in a climate character
ized by warm, dry summers and cold winters with considerable snowfall.
4.04 During the 44-year period, 1910 through 1919, and 1926 through
1961, extremes in annual precipitation were 37.49 inches in 1950 and 11.42
inches in 1929. The annual mean precipitation for the same period was 23.45
inches. Average annual snowfall is 69.8 inches which generally remains on
the ground from early December through the middle of March. Annual mean
temperature at Newport, Washington, is 44.6 degrees. Extremes in tempera
tures ranged from a low minus 41 to a high of 107 degrees.
4.05 Surrounding mountains prevent high wind velocities often exper
ienced in more open terrain; however, winds frequently exceed 15 miles per
hour. The predominant southwest and northwest winds often create rough water
hazardous to small boats on Pend Oreille Lake.

4.06 Factors influencing recreational development. -
a. Recreation trends. - The reservoir is readily accessible
by highway and railroad and is centrally located with respect to major
recreation areas of the Pacific Northwest. The distance from and recrea-
tional use of these areas are:

4.07 Traffic counters were installed at four Corps of Engineers
recreational areas and at the damsite vista in 1965. From traffic counts,
supplemented by intervievJ" Hith recreationists, distribution of recreational
use of existing facilities was obtained. Total use at Corps of Engineers
areas in 1965 was approximately 110,000 visitor-days. The estimated 1963
usage of other public facilities in the reservoir was 90,000 visitor-days.
The estimated recreational use of private property and facilities on the res-
ervoir amounted to about 200,000 visitor-days. This estimate is based on
previous studies of distribution of recreational usage. The total esti-
mated recreational use of the reservoir in 1963 was 383~000 visitor-days.
4.08 Forecast of public use. - Recreational use of Albeni Falls
Project is comparable to Coulee Dam National Recreation Area from the
standpoint of accessibility and potential for water-oriented activities.
Both are on or near transcontinental highways about the same distance from
Spokane. The recreation facilities provided are similar. Use of the
16 Revised Dec 65
reservoirs is mainly from tourists. Recreation use of Coulee Dam National
Recreation Area was 664,500 during 1963. A short-term forecast of recrea
tion use by the National Park Service estimates that attendance to Coulee
Dam National Recreational Area will be 1,395,000 by 1970 or roughly double
the 1963 attendance. This accelerated growth pattern may also be expected
to occur at Albeni Falls Project because of the similarity of the two
reservoirs. On the basis of this trend, total attendance at Albeni Falls
Reservoir will increase from 383,000 visitor-days in 1963 to approximately
700,000 visitor-days in 1970. Following this period of rapid growth, visi
tation is forecast to increase at a rate of 3 percent per year until a¥ailable
public lands and facilities approach capacity use. This point will be
reached in about year 2010, with total attendance at about 2,200,000. The
estimate of 3 percent per year growth compares with 2.8 percent as fore-
cast by the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission for the nation
as a whole, but is less than the 3.25 percent annual rate experienced by
Washington State Parks for the last five years. This estimate assumes that
recreation facilities on Federally-owned lands will be constructed as
re~uired to meet public demand and that the future development of privately
owned shoreland will follow historical trends. Figure 1 shows the antici
pated recreational use at Coulee Dam National Recreation Area and at the
Albeni Falls Project.
4.09 Analysis of plans by other public agencies for recreational
development and land suitable for this use indicates the Corps of Engineers
will provide the predominant means of public access to Albeni Falls Reservoir.
In addition, land suited for recreational use by private interests, the

and abundance of the fish and wildlife resources on Lake Pend Oreille have a
major appeal to the recreationist. Paragraph 3.05 describes these resources.
The State of Idaho Fish and Game Department manages 3,780 acres of shoreland
at 10 locations. This land was acquired by the Corps of Engineers and
licensed to the State. Section 9 of this report gives further details of
these lands.
4~11. Agricultural and industrial development. - The existing agri-
cultural and industrial development is described in paragraphs 3.07 through
3.09. The project has little effect on future prospects. The principal
industries, logging and sawmilling, are based on a sustained yield from the
forests. Significant changes are not forecast for either agriculture or
forest industries.
19
SECTION 5 - LAND USE POLICY
5.01 General. - The relative importance of the different land uses
has been established pursuant to EM 1130-2-302 and ER 405-2-835 with full
consideration of expected benefits and the desires of local interests.
Land classification conforms with 11 Uniform Land Classification for Master
Plan Studies, 11 issued by the North Pacific Division on 1 July 1963.
5.02 Use priorities. - The Land Use Map, Plate 2, shows the general
zoning arrangements and limits of areas assigned to various uses of proj
ect land. The basic land use classifications are:
a. Project operational areas (public use restricted). - These
are land and water areas in the immediate vicinity of the dam, powerhouse
and debris collection area which are vital to the safe and efficient
operation of the project. Public use is restricted for personal safety
and for project security and operation. Inspection of the dam and power
house by educational or other groups may be arranged by special permission.
b. Priority 1 - Public recreation areas. - The lands in this
category are designated for use by the Cor.ps of Engineers or by other
Federal, State or local governmental agencies for the development of public
recreational areas and commercial concessions. This classification is
further subdivided into the following two groups:
(1) Existing development. - Existing developed areas are
classified under this category.
(2) Future development. - Areas having the physical ~uali
ties for recreation development but which have not been developed.
c. Fish and wildlife areas. - Land classified for fish and
20
wildlife use are generally marshy to semi-marshy lands which are suitable
for preservation and management resources for fish and vlildlife. Land
classified for fish and vlildlife use is administered by the State of Idaho
Fish and Game Department under license.
5.03 All project land is classified under the basic land use
classification set forth in the preceding paragraph,
Lands other than those classified for project operational and l;riority
one public recreation areas (existing) may be leased on an interim
basis for grazing or agricultural purposes, or for lower priority
recreation purposes provided it is made certain that the supplementary
use will not interfere with the basic primary classification and the
land will be available for its primary use "i-Then required. The supple
mental land uses include:
a. Priority 2 recreation areas. - Non-profit organizations
rendering a public recreational-educational service of a charitable or
character building nature on a non-exclusive basis.
b. Priority 3 recreation areas. - Non-profit organizations- or
agencies, not limited. in members, 't-l'hich fu..'1.ction in the public interest
to some extent by providing public recreational opportunities normally
provided under Priorities 1 and 2 but providing no exclusive private use
by any individual.
c. Priority 4 recreation areas. - Private recreational purposes
by individuals or clubs.
d. Agricultural areas.
e. Grazing areas.
21 Revised Sep 64
f. Forest management areas.
5.04 All forest resources of the project will be managed with the
objective of maintaining or improving existing stands of timber for scenic,

SECTION 6 - PLAN FOR RECREATION DEVELOPHENT
6.01 General. - The plan for recreation development of public use
and access areas provides for the rehabilitation and expansion of exist
ing recreation areas and for the construction of new recreation facilities
on selected project lands. Layouts and cost estimates have been prepared
to establish a firm basis for construction. The cost estimate includes
the cost of supplemental lands approved for acquisition and upon acquisi
tion of these lands the Haster Plan 1vill be revised to give detai1ed plans
for their development. A construction schedule and priority have been
developed to meet the forecast of demand.
6.02 Layout and design of recreation areas HHl be in general
accordance >·ri th EM 1130-2-312. Sanitary facilities 1vill be constructed
in conformance with 11Administrative Guide Covering Public Health Problems
in Recreational Areas,n prepared by the Columbia Basin Inter-Agency Com
mittee and Pacific Southwest Inter~Agency Committee. Sanitary regula
tions and standards of the State of Idaho and local governmental agencies
vJill be complied with. Subsurface investigations 11rHl be made to assure
the feasibility of septic tank and tile field design.
6.03 Plate 2 is a map of reservoir locating each recreation area.
Plates 4 through 8 and llA are larger scale layouts of each site shovring
the extent and nature of existing or planned developments which are
discussed in subsequent paragraphs. Detailed cost estimates are fur
nished separately in appendix 1.
6.04 Plan for existing recreation areas. - The vista facilities
at the damsite and Albeni Cove and Priest River Recreation Areas are
23 Revised Dec 65
planned for improvement to bring existing facilities up to the present
standards of the Corps of Engineers. Expansion is planned for Riley
Creek Recreation Area in accordance with Design Memo 22 and is programmed
as part of the master plan. Expansion of Springy Point is planned on
land proposed for acquisition in Design Memo 23A, Supplement 1. Further
expansion of the picnic area to the west will be on land presently owned
in fee.
6.05 Vista (plate 4). A vista house, parking area and small
picnic area are on the right bank adjacent to u. S. Highway 2,
immediately upstream from the powerhouse. The vista affords a full
view of the spillway section and most of the powerhouse. The vista
house contains a display box of core drillings, photographs of the area
mounted on the wall, flush-type toilets and a drinking fountain. The
parking area is paved and will accommodate approximately 90 cars. The
picnic area is adjacent to the parking area and receives extensive use
during the summer recreation season.
6.06 Improvements to the vista facilities will comprise the
installation of an audio-visual system, a pictoral map of the reservoir
area, showing the location of all Corps of Engineers' land available for
public use, a wall-mounted glass case for photographs, and the planting of
trees and shrubs adjacent to the drives and picnic area and on cut slopes
along the lower access road. The audio-visual system will picture
features of the dam, powerhouse and reservoir and a sound system will give
a brief narrative description of each picture shown. Installation of the
24 Revised Dec 65
glass or plastic case will help preserve photographs and tend to reduce
vandalism, vlhile the map of the reservoir area will emphasize available
public recreation areas and the type of facilities on each site, The
estimated cost of these improvements is ~$9 3 500o
6.07 Albeni Falls powerhouse (plate 4)o A self-guided tour of the
pmmrhouse is provided for tourists. The po-v1erhouse is on the right bank
and is served by a paved access road from u~ S. High-vJay 2. Limited parking
space is available at the pm'll'erhouse for visitors, Tourists are encouraged
to leave their cars at the vista parking area and use a foot path for
access to the powerhouse to avoid congestion with project equipment.
The tour starts in the reception room of the powerhouse, vlh.ich overlooks
the tailrace. The room contains a large scale relief map of the Columbia
River Basin, a drinking fountain, and a registration desk. The Tourists
are directed do1'1TD a flight of stairs to the lobby and observation gallery
to vievr the generators. An elevator is available for visitors "t-rho have
difficulty Hi th stairs. During the busy summer recreation season, the
self-guided tour is supplemented vdth guided tours that give greater detail
to the project's main features and permits visits to the turbine decko
Small groups are furnished extensive tours of the po-v;erhouse Hi th permis
sion of the project engineer~ Expansion of the tours is not contemplated.
6.08 Albeni C?~lP~~te ~· An all-purpose 20~acre recreation area
1"ras constructed in 1959 on the left bank of the reservoir at Albeni Cove
approximately one-quarter mile npstream from the dam.. Access to the area
from the city of 1Je,.rport, \}ashington, is by a 2-1/2-mile gravelled county
road. The recreation area is in a natural setting of coniferous trees

and scattered rock outcrops. A background of high hills shelters the
small bay from winds and wave action.
and camping is limited by the terrain.

Space suitable for picnicking
A gently sloping beach and shallow
The Ne1vport Chamber of Commerce
cooperated with the Corps of Engineers in constructing 5 camping units,
picnic area with 9 picnic tables and 8 fireplaces, swimming area, boat
launching ramp, caretaker's quarters, spring-fed gravity water system,
3 pit-type and 1 vault-type comfort stations, gravelled roadsj and
parking area. The area was licensed to the Net-lport Chamber of Commerce
for administration, operation and maintenance from Hay 1958 to November
1959. The State of Idaho held the license for administration~ operation
and maintenance of the area from April 1961 to r1ay 1964. Both
licensees returned the area because they lacked funds for adequate
operation and maintenance.
6.09 At the beginning of the 1964 season, Albeni Cove Recreation
Area vvas in a state of disrepair because of inadequate maintenance durin.g
the previous recreation seasons. Effective maintenance and operation
in 1964 and 1965 restored the area to an acceptable condition. A
causei·J"aY was constructed by project personnel connecting the picnic
area idth a small island where the swimming area is located. This
causeway replaced a floating ramp that was in a deteriorated condi=
tion. Odors from the vault-tJ~e sanitary facilities were minimized
by use of chemicals, rough and rutted spots in the entrance and interior
roads were improved and grass trimming and general cleanup restored the
area to a satisfactory condition. This area received 11,000 visits
26 Revised Dec 65
during 1964 and 12,775 visitors during 1965.
An improvement program is planned to accommodate anticipated
increased use and to provide facilities comparable to other rec~
reation areas in the vicinity of Albeni Falls Project. A leveling
course and bituminous surface treatment 1dll be placed on the roads and
parking areas to reduce dust and eliminate rutting, Interior lights and
mirrors will be added to the vault-type comfort station in the picnic
area. A new vault-type comfort station 1dll be installed in the
camping area to replace two pit-type toilets. Soil studies indicate
that rock is close to the surface at this location and flush-type
toilets cannot be used because of possible contamination of the swimming
area. The existing spring providing water supply for the recreation area
is fully developed and any expansion of the water system ~Qll necessitate
development of an alternate source of water. A shallovl well located at
the upstream end of the project is planned. A change house will be con=
structed near the swimming area so the comfort stations will not be used
for this purpose. Estimated cost of these improvements is $42~000.
The planned improvements are scheduled for construction in FY 1967.
6.10 Priest River (plate 5.). This 22-acre recreation area is on
the right bank of the reservoir at the mouth of Priest River with direct
access to u. S. Highway 2. The surface of the ground is nearly level,
about 8 feet above the stabilized summer reservoir elevation. Approxi
mately half of the area is covered with conifer and deciduous trees that
provide seclusion from the heavily travelled highway on the northern boundar~
The. Great Northern. Raihray embankment to the "south protects the area from
27 Rev'ised Dec 65
prevailing southerly winds but confines water access to the west side of
the recreation area. Facilities were constructed in 1959 ~rith the
assistance of the city of Priest River, consisting of all camping units,
a picnic area containing 15 tables and 8 fireplaces, boat launching
ramp, change house, swimming area, one vault-type and ti.JO pit toilets,
baseball field, water system, gravelled roads and parking area. The
city of Priest River operated and maintained the area from September
1953 until Narch 1964 under a license from the Corps of Engineers. The
licensee returned the area because they lacked funds for adequate
operation and maintenance. The Corps modified the existing water system
to provide greater capacity and replaced two pit=type toilets in the
camping area with a flush~ type comfort station ~rJith FY 1964 Code 710 funds.
Atl:.endance in 1964 1oras 19,200 visitor-days, and 19 3 100 visitor-days in 1965.
The attendance during 1965 Has limited because the overnight camping was
closed throughout June of 1965 for construction of sanitary facilities.
6.11 Existing roads and parking areas have become rutted and chuck
holes have developed. The vault-type comfort station in the picnic area
is inadequate for the number of day visitors and unsatisfactory conditions
exist. An existing 1·JO od frame change house constructed by local interests
many years ago is unattractive, poorly lighted and in a run do1orn condition~
inviting vandalism.
6.12 Rehabilitation and improvements ~11 include the placement of
a gravel leveling course and bituminous surface treatment on the roads
and parking areas, the replacement of the vault=type toilet in the picnic
area with a combination flush-type toilet and change house building~ modi
fication of the boat launching ramp turnaround and parking area and
provisions for two picnic 28 Revised Dec 65
shelters. Greatest need exists for the combination toilet and change house
and this structure is scheduled for construction ·~-rith FY 1966 Code 710
funds at an estimated cost of $23,500. Other needed improvements ~sti~
mated at $613 000 are scheduled for construction in FY 1967o Expansion
of the camping area :v-.r:i..ll be accomplished by construction of nine new
.camping units at an estimated cost of $11 3 000 when the present area is used
to capacity. 'rhe total estimated cost of improvement is ~·95~500,
6.13 rt.iley Creek (plate 6). An all-purpose recreation area was
completed late in 1963 on a tree-covered peninsula on the right bank of
the reservoir at Riley Creek about one mile from U. S. Highway 2, near
LaClede. The site comprises 44 acres of land v-rith 4J800 feet of choice
recreational shoreland. The ground is flat with tree-covered areas and
natural grass fields that slope gently to sandy beaches at the 1;.raterline,
Tree cover of pine and other coniferous species is well developed pro~
viding shade and seclusion for the camping and picnicking areas, The exist=
ing facilities comprise 38 camp sites, a picnic area containing 42 picnic
tables and 20 fireplaces, 2 flush-type toilets, a boat launching ramp~ a
floating pier, change house, water supply, bathing beach, wading pool, and
bituminous parking area and roads. Cost of these facilities was $139sOOO.
Attendance to the area during the 1964 recreation season was 15jOOO visitor
days increasing to 20,500 in 1965. This represents an increase of 37%,
of 'lvhich 65% is attributable to the overnight camping facilities. The
existing overnight camping area was utilized to capacity on most week-
ends and many visitors seeking accommodations were turned away or placed
in an overflow area adjacent to the picnic area,
28a Revised Dec 65
6.14 To prevent overcrowding of existing facilities and to provide for
future demands, an additional camp loop road containing 30 camp sites 3 a
flush-type toilet and expansion of the water distribution system is planned,
Because of the demonstrated need for additional overnight camping facil
ities, expansion of Riley Creek camping area ivill receive highest priority
and is proposed for construction with available FY 1966 Code 710 funds.
Layout of the camp road requires site adaptation by Corps personnel and
can best be accomplished by use of hired labor forces. Authority to con
struct this "t'l'ork by hired labor at a cost of :t!il2,000 -vms received in message
dated 29 October 1965. The toilet and utili ties '\vill be constructed by
contract at an estimated cost of ;itJJ,)OQ. Limited landscaping and tree
planting in the playground area and adjacent to the beach are needed to pro
vide shade and to improve the appearance of the park. Because of the im
portance of establishing plant growth as early as possible, this -vmrk esti
mated at ~~9 ,500 is scheduled for accomplishment in the spring of 1966 with
available FY 1966 Code 710 funds. Further development includes construc
tion of a picnic shelter, sHimming beach, t'liJO additional concrete-plank
boat launching ramps, a larger parking area for car-trailer combinations,
and a caretaker 1 s area. The water system 1<rill be expanded to provide ser
vice to newly developed areas~ Estimated cost of the proposed future im
provement is ~t35,500~ The total estimated cost of improvements is 1:;90~500.
6.15 Springy Point. (Plate 7). -Springy Point Recreation Area is
on eight acres of tree-covered land on the left bank of the reservoir,
three miles west of U. S. Highway 10A=95 and 5 miles from the to1m of
Sandpoint. The area is located in a protected cover Hith a shallovJ water
beach ideal for ·Hater-oriented sports. Construction "ras started in 1961
28b Revised Dec 65
and completed in 1963, at a cost to the Government of $55 3 000. Facilities
provided include 24 camping units, picnic area containing 10 tables and
5 fireplaces, change house, concrete-plank boat launching ramp 3 and landing
pier, one flush-type and one vault-type toilet, a water supply and bitum=
inous roads and parking areas. Springy Point is a popular day-use picnic
area for local residents near Sandpoint. The limited overnight camping
area is filled to capacity on most of the weekends during the recreation
season. Area for future development is extremely limited at this rec
reation area. A small expansion of the picnic area to the west is planned.
Povmr Hill be provided to the vault type comfort station in the camping
area. Estimated cost of proposed improvement is $24}500,
6.15a Supplement 1 to Design Hemo 23A, approved by OCE 2d Ind.
on 18 June 196h, authorizes acquisition of 12.9 acres of land adjacent
to existing recreation development. Acquisition of this land will allow
expansion of the existing camping area and provide additional waterfront
for water-oriented sports. Estimated cost of the land in 1964 was ~!i36 ~500.
A detailed layout and cost estimate for the area will be made following
acquisition (see plate llA).
6.15b The need for improved facilities at existing recreation areas
is greater than land acquisition requirements. Accordingly the proposed
land acquisition is deferred until FY 67.

0.16 Plan for new developments. - Field examination made of all
property owned by the Corps of Engineers along the reservoir shore dis
closed 7 areas suitable for recreational development; five of which are
within game management units presently licensed to the State of Idaho
Department of Fish and Game for administration. This department supports
the change in use to all-purpose recreation. The plan of development
proposed herein meets the approval of all recreation and fish and wildlife
agencies.
6.17 Strongts Island (Plate 5)· Strongus Island is two miles up
stream from the dam and contains 18 acres of land above the regulated
pool. The east end of the Island contains a dense stand of second-growth
native timber. The west end is an open meadow 1-l'ith the remains of an
old apple orchard. Strong's Island is cttrective to pleasure boaters as
a stopover for exploration, camping e.nd occasional picnicking.
6.18 Minimum development as a boat access area is planned. Initial
development of the vTest end of the island will be commenced' in Fiscal
Year 1966 vii th the installation of a pit-type comfort station removed
from Priest Hi ver recreation orca, Fui·ther development i·7ill be accom
plislJeu in Fiscal Year 1967 by the provision of 10 combination picnic
and camping units, and a 1-lell and hand pump. A small boat basin will
be excavated to elevation 2058 by removing approximately 3,000 cubic
yards of organic material in an existing sv1ampy areD. Excavated
material ;rill be used to fill another low J s\mmpy aree on the i sle.nd.
No electric service is planned. The estimated cost; of initial facili
ties is $15,000.

SECTION 7 - JUSTIFICATION FOR RECREATIONAL DEVELOPliiENT
7.01 Evaluation standards. -Evaluation standards in Office, Chief
of Engineers, multiple-letter dated 10 January 1961, subject, "Treatment
of Recreation in the General Investigation Program,tt and Supplement 1
to Senate Document 97, 87th Congress, 2d Session, "Evaluation Standards
for Primary Outdoor Hecreation Benefits, 11 dated h June 196h and pre
pared by the Joint Task Force on Recreation have been used in this report.
General recreation use has been given a ranGe in value from $0.50 to
~1.50 per visitor-day. Specialized recreation, including inland fishing
and long-range boat cruises and similar type activities were given values
of $2.00 to $6.00 per day. Sightseeing is valued at $0.50 in this memo.
A value of $1.50 per visitor-day was assigned to all-purpose recreation
areas because there is a wide range of use consisting of picnic areas,
camping facilities, swimming beaches 1rJith modern sanitary facilities and
reservoir fishing for the large trout and long scenic boat cruises.
7.02 Justificati~~Er development. -Table 5 gives a monetary
evaluation of the planned development, as set forth in paragraphs 6.0h
through 6.30. Attendance estimates are consistent ~nth the forecast of
public use developed in paragraphs 4.08 and 4.09. Estimates of benefits
and annual costs have been discounted by present-worth methods at 2-1/2
percent interest over the remaining project life. Evaluation demonstrates
the development of each area is justified by comparing the benefit to the
costs.

SECTIOIJ 8 - COORDI:lJATIOH WITH OTHER AGENCIES
8.01 General. - The plan for recreational development is compat
ible with the programs of Federal and State agencies concerned with
recreation and fish and wildlife on the Albeni Falls Reservoir. In the
spring of 1964, the pla~s of the Corps of Engineers were discussed in
meetings with these agencies. Their comments are contained in the
letters attached as ExT!ibits 1 through 6 of this report. The results of
the coordination efforts are summarized in the follOvling paragraphs:
8.02 Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. - A letter from the Regional
Director, Pacific Northwest Regional Office of the Bureau of Outdoor
Recreation, commenting on the Haster Plan, is attached as Exhibit 1.
Appropriate expansion of the report has been made to reflect their com
ments. All public and private land 01mership could not be shovn on
plate 2 because of lack of data.
8.03 United States Forest Service. - The u. s. Forest :Service
administers 29 miles of shore, about 13 percent of the total. Host of
this shoreline is too steep and rugged for development. The Samowen
recreational area with 65 acres is the only development on Albeni Falls
Reservoir operated by this agency at the present time.
8. 04 The Forest Supervisor of :Ks.nikStl. National Forest revieHed a
draft of the Corps of Engineers plar.: in meetings at Sandpoint, Idaho on
11 February and 15 May 1964 and f·urnished details of their program on an
informal basis. Comments of the Forest Service are attached as Exhibit
2. Plate 3 gives a tabulation of the U. s. Forest Service program and
shows the location of each site. A total of 32 recreation areas are
planned for construction by the u. s. Forest :Service by the year 2000,
38
Seven of the recreation sites are on the reservoir and the remaining 25
are forest campground with no water access. The program is oriented
around the southern arm of the Pend Orielle Lake on lands within the
Kaniksu National Forest.
8.05 In Fiscal Year 1965, the U. S. Forest Service joined the
State of Idaho in the development of a 69.1 acre recreational area on
Garfield Bay. This site has excellent waterfront and is an attractive
water-oriented, all-purpose recreation area on the reservoir.
8.06 The u. S. Forest Service in carrying out their recreational
responsibility for recreation within the Kaniksu National Forest have a
fully organized program. This program complements the proposed plan of
development of the Corps of Engineers presented in this ~1emorandum.
Because most of the southern arm of Lake Pend Orielle lies within the
National Forest, the Forest Service has the responsibility of meeting
public recreation demand by providing essential facilities to meet these
demands on lands under their administration and control.
8.07 Bureau of Land Management. - The plan of development of the
Corps of Engineers was discussed in a meeting with the Bureau of Land
Management 4 March 1964, at Boise, Idaho. The Bureau of Land J'.Ianagement
has developed a recreation area with picnicking, a view point with future
camping facilities programmed on a 3-acre tract near the mouth of Pack
River. The recreation area has no water access to Lake Pend Orielle.
The Corps of Engineers 1 picnic and boat access area plan for Trestle Creek
site will complement the Bureau of Land r1anagement by providing needed
water access. Exhibit 3 is a letter from the Bureau of Land }1anagement
supporting the Corps of Engineers plan of development.
39 Revised Dec 65
8.08 State of Idaho Parks Department. - The Corps of Engineers
plan of development was reviewed in meeting with the State Park Department
on 3 March 1964. Their letter attached as Exhibit 4 approves the plan.
Interest was expressed in the development of Trestle Creek recreation area
by the Corps of Engineers to complement an area two miles from Trestle
Creek which will not have water access.
8.09 State of Idaho Department of Fish and Game. - The Fish and
Game Department now administers 3,780 acres of reservoir shorelands under
license from the Corps of ~~gineers. A field and office review of these
game management units shOi.,red that 72 acres on 5 different sites were
suitable and are needed for recreation development. The Fish and Game
Department agreed in a meeting on 3 March 1964 with these findings and
concurred in the Corps of Engineers' plan for recreational development of
these areas.
8.10 Board of County Commissioners for Bonner County, Idaho. - A
meeting was held with the Boriller County Commissioners on 10 February 1964
to outline the proposed recreation developments on the reservoir. The
Commissioners concurred in the plan as indicated by their letter attached
as Exhibit 5.
8.11 City Council of City of Priest River, Idaho. - A meeting was
held on 10 February 1964 with the Mayor and Councilmen of Priest River,
Idaho. The City supported the proposed Co1~s of Engineers plan of develop
ment of Albeni Falls Reservoir~ as evidenced by their letter which is
attached as Exhibit 6 .
SECTION 9 - FISH AND WILDLIFE DEVELOPHENT AND H.A.NAGElTENT
9.01 General. - The land use map plate 2 shows 10 tracts licensed
to the State of Idaho Department of Fish and Game Department for operation
as Game Management Units. These areas consist of 3,780 acres of fee-owned
reservoir shorelands not generally suitable for recreation development
because of low swampy terrain. The shallo1'1! v.raters and marshy conditions
are excellent for feeding and propagating water fm,rl and for spiny-ray
fishing. Hunting and fishing use has been heavy. Table 6 lists each of
the Game Management Units giving the location, acreage and a brief des
cription. Plates 9 through 11 contain layouts of the major units.
9.02 Development and :Hanagement. - Each of the Game Hanagement
Units were examined in studies leading to this Memo. Portions totalling
72 acres were found to be suitable for recreation development. Section 6
of this report contains plans for development of these areas. The highest
and best use for the remaining lands is the conservation and management of
fish and vdldlife resource. The physical characteristics of the tracts
are not compatible with recreational, industrial, agricultural or residen
tial development. The most satisfactor;y procedure for management is the
continued administration by the State of Idaho Department of Fish and Game
who operate the land for optimum fish and Hildlife benefits, The areas are
open to the public for hunting, fishing a~d general recreational access to
the reservoir.

SECTION 10 - PROTECTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF RESOURCES
10.01 Objectives, - Appropriate standards of management and control
are required to retain high-standard facilities in areas administered
directly by Corps of Engineers and,in areas licensed to the State of Idaho.
The following paragraphs }Jrese11t general concepts of management.
10.02 Administration of Outgrants. - Project lands will be licensed
or leased to qualified state and lo~al agencies and other interests accord-
ing to the land use assigr.~...rnents approved in the Master Plan. Preference
will be given on the basis of public benefits to be realized from use of
the outgranted areas. All outgrants will be administered by the Corps with
the objectives of affording maximum"'oenefits to the public and providing
reasonable consistency in management among all areas throughout the reser-
voir.
10.03 Administration of Other Areas. - The Seattle District will be
responsible for the administration; development and management of all lands
administered by the Corps of Engineers as part of Albeni Falls Project, but
not outgranted. This inch.ldes all public use areas developed and operated
by the Corps of Engineers, as well a~ all other project lands. Items of
principal concern to management pers9nnel will include day-to-day care of
developed areas; control of vandalisrnJ trespass: and theft; prevention of
erosion; debris removal; reduction of fire hazards and fire control; and
control of health hazards.
10.04 Vandalism> trespass and theft. - Protection and care of project
resources require continuing effectiye control of vandalism, unauthorized
' I
: 43
trespass and theft. Failure to take positive action against these things
only encourages their increase. ~~imum use will be made of educational
techni~ues to obtain compliance with rules and regulations by cooperation
rather than by force. Property damaged by vandalism will be promptly
repaired. Cooperation of state and local law enforcement officers will be
sought in control of destructive trespass and theft. Construction and
development on project lands by adjacent or nearby property owners, or
other interests} will be prohibited. Removal of minerals) timber or other
material from public-use areas will be permitted only as re~uired in con
nection with the development program. Such removal from other project
lands will be strictly controlled and will be permitted only when in the
interest of the Government.
10.05 Boundary markers. - Property lines between private and
Government-owned land will be mow~ented at selected locations to establish
limits of Government property to reduce trespass.
10.06 Erosion protection. - The shores of most public access areas
will need some protection and maintenance. Some shore sections will be
allowed to erode to a point of natural stability. Erosion hazards at each
public-use area will be appropriately recognized in the design and develop
ment of necessary facilities.
10.07 Debris removal. - Tne Clark Fork contributes approximately
95 percent of all debris entering Albeni Falls Reservoir. Control of the
debris has been accomplished by installing a deflection boom in the main
stream of the river to guide the debris to a holding area. Debris is then
collected and burned follouing the fall draft period. This method of debris
collection keeps the water area and beaches free of drift.
44
10.08 Fire control. - The fire potential at the Albeni Falls Project
is generally high. A fire prevention program in accordance with Section
XIII of EM 381-1-1 and an effective fire fighting plan are important parts
of the overall plan for project management. The potential fire hazard is
of three kinds~ (a) structural fires in and adjacent to Albeni Falls Dam;
(b) fires in or adjacent to recreation areas; and (c) forest fires origi
nating on or spreading to project lands.
10-09 The program for fire prevention is largely one of organization
and training - the u. s. Forest Service, the State Forester, and a number
of other organizations carry on extensive training and educational programs
each year to encourage and instruct the public in forest fire prevention.
These programs will be utilized to train project personnel. The goal will
be the training of all personnel to recognize and remove fire hazards
around buildings and improvements or in the reservoir. Posters will be
used about the project to instruct operating personnel and the general
public in fire prevention.
10.10 Fire prevention and control at the project is the responsibility
of the Corps of Engineers. All personnel associated with the project opera
tion will be instructed in the proper fire fighting techniques necessary
to cope with fires generally associated with such structures and appropriate
fire fighting equipment will be placed at strategic points in and about the
project buildings for emergency use. All persorillel will be assigned defi
nite fire control duties and responsibilities under a mobilization plan for
fire suppression.
10.11 Caretakers at each recreation area will have the primary respon
sibility for fire protection. They will be instructed in the proper fire
4-5
fighting techniques necessary to handle fire generally associated with
improvements at recreation areas. Each recreation area will have fire
fighting equipment sufficient to handle fires generally associated with
the improvements and natu~al vegetation on the area.
10.12 The basic responsibility for fire prevention and control on
fee-owned lands rests with the Corps of Engineers. All project personnel
will take prompt action to suppress fires while they are still small.
Accordingly, all available project personnel will be promptly trained in
fire control procedures and assigned definite fire control duties and
responsibilities in accordance with a specific plan for mobilization for
forest fire suppression. Recommendations by the State and by the u. s.
Forest Service for closure of reservoir lands during critical periods will
be followed. l~nimum mechanized equipment and hand tools for the suppres
sion of fires vill be stored at the project.
10.13 Insect and plant control. - Project management personnel will
establish the following maintenance program to accomplish insect and plant
control:
a. Plantings, mowings, prunings for appearance, and vegetation
replacement programs to develop and maintain overhead cover or screen
plantings in campgroundsJ picnic areas and the like. Plantings and similar
treatments in erosion control work.
b. Insect and plant disease control to keep the area reasonably
free of pests and prevent serious epidemics which threaten or destroy vege
tation.
c. Fire hazard reduction treatments with periodic removal of
accumulation of flammable litter, dead material within or immediately adjacent
46
to heavy use areas.
d. Providing firewood, as available, in heavy use areas to reduce
the destruction of maintained vegetation.
e. Eradication of undesirable plants such as poison oak in heavy
use areas as a protection to the visitor.
10.14 Control of health hazards. - State and Federal regulations and
standards of health and sanitation will be observed. A program of mos~uito
control will be carried out on project lands.
SECTION ll - RULES AND HEGUI.ATIOIJS
ll,Ol General, - Regulations pertaining to project management are
modified and appear in Title 36 1 Chapter !I~ of the Code of Federal
Regulations, supplements of which are printed annually, These regula
tions will be printed and placed on display in the areas of the project
most frequented by the public. Information map folders will also make
appropriate reference to the regulations with citation to the Code of
Federal Regulations,
11,02 Interpretation to rules and regulations" - The following
supplemental instructions are based on interpretations of Title 36,
Chapter IIIJ Code of Federal Regulations,
a. Camping is permitted only in areas designated for such use
and for periods not exceeding 30 days, except where public demand requires,
the District Engineer may reduce the period of occupancy below 30 days,
and where public demand does not require use of the sites to afford others
an opportunity to use them, the District Engineer or his authorized repre
sentative may extend the period of occupancy beyond 30 days, but not in
increments of more than 30 days,
b, Campers utilizing designated caw~grounds are required to
register their time and date of arrival and the campsite to be occupied
at registration booths provided at the entrance to such campgrounds and
are requested to register departure time and date,
c, House trailers (mobile homes) requiring >vater and sanitary
accommodations will occupy only sites designated for their transient use
48 .Revised Sep 64
and equipped for their accommodation. Such housekeeping trailers are
required to bear State licenses and tires which will not be removed there
from. Where water and sanitary facilities are provided by others, payment
of occupancy fees, as approved by the District Engineer, will be paid
directly to the agency or party authorized to operate such facilities.
d. Campers are not permitted to construct permanent or temporary
facilities in campgrounds other than awnings attached to trailers or
canvas or plastic flys over kitchen areas or at entrances to tents or
trailers.
e. Where campgrounds are managed by othe~ governmental agencies,
pursuant to lease or license from the Department of the Army, campers are

h. The public will not be permitted in areas where their presence
would subject themselves or Government operating personnel to serious acci
dent hazards.
i. The public will be giv·en reasonable access to all areas other
than those specified above, subject only to the normal legal requirements
with respect to property and personal rights.
11.03 Relationship to other Federal laws and regulations. - Viola
tions of the rules and regulations governing the public use of reservoir
areas are not misdemeanors carrying penalty clauses, but the rules and reg~
lations are nevertheless enforceable where the United States is the owner
of the property. There are certain laws, carrying substantial penalty
clauses for the protection of Government property. Among these are laws
relating to the following:
a. Coal depredations (see 18 u.s.c. 1851)
b. Timber. - The unlawful removal, cutting or injury of trees on
Federal property is a criminal offense (see u.s.c. 1852, 1853, 1954, 1955).
c. Fires left unattended and not extin~~ished (see 18 U.S.C. 1956)
d. Fences destroyed, livestock entering (see u.s.c. 1858)
e. Survey marks destroyed or removed (see 18 u.s.c. 1858)
f. Government property. - Tnere are laws under which it is a
criminal offense to steal or damage Federal property, which laws are appli
cable to violations of certain sections of the rules and regulations.
11.04 Archaeological - historical. - Archaeological and historical
objects are also protected by Federal laws.
11.05 Wildlife, - Federal laws and regulations applicable to the pro
tection and taking of 1nigratory birds are applicable to all civil works
50
project lands.
11.06 Relationship to State and local laws. - State and local laws
are enforceable.
11.07 Prevention and control of water pollution. - The Water Pollu
tion Control Act Amendments of 1956, approved 9 July 1956 (P.L. 660, 84th
Congress) declare the policy of Congress "to recognize, preserve, and
protect the primary responsib:Ui ties and rights of the States in prevent
ing and controlling ·Hater pollu.tion. 11 Accordingly, control of pollution
in the reservoirs constructed by the Corps is the primary responsibility
of the State agency or agencies having jurisdiction over waters into which
any matter is discharged. Pollution control of the water in reservoirs
constructed by the Corps is not a function of the Corps. It is, however,
the responsibility of the Corps only to approve plans for structures or
facilities to be constructed or placed by others on our reservoirs which
meet State water pollution control laws and regulations.
11.08 The District Engineer having jurisdiction over the construc
tion; maintenance and operation of Corps reservoirs will cooperate in
every practicable ro~nner with State, Interstate or other local agency
having jurisdiction of pollution control over such waters in their enforce
ment of their pollution control laws and regulations. The approval for any
structure, boat or other property being constructed or placed upon the
waters of these projects will be subject to prior permission therefor being
secured from such agencies by the owner.
11.09 Enforcement of rules and regulations. - The cooperation of the
public in the preservation of the property and the resources of the Project
will be solicited. This will be done through educational methods such as
51
rna~ folders, signs, and training all reservoir management ~ersonnel in
the ~ro~er handling of the ~ublic. Unauthorized use or destruction of
Government ~ro~erty or unauthorized commercialization or exploitation of
the ~roject lands and waters will be dealt with ~romptly and firmly. To
avoid unintential tres~ass, the local ~ublic will be widely informed that
at the ~roject office they can study official ~ro~erty ma~s and obtain
information on boundary monuments. The Project Engineer,to the extent of
his authority) will deal ~romptly but administratively with unauthorized
timber cutting, commercial activity or other tres~ass and take ste~s neces
sary for initiating legal actions. Reports of unauthorized use of real
estate will be made to the Real Estate Division for a~~ro~riate remedial
action.
SECTION 12 - DISCUSSION; CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
12.01 Discussion. - The Albeni Falls Reservoir lies in an area of
exceptional scenic attractions, long summers, abundant evergreen tree
cover and a terrain ranging from rolling hills and sandy beaches to
high rocky rugged mountains. In this setting the reservoir with a large
expanse of clear cool water, 226 miles of shoreline and a natural fresh
water fishery of variety and abundance create a recreational environment
which attracts an increasing n-wnber of visitors from the region and the
nation. Accessibility by two u. s. Highways and the main lines of the
Great Northern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railway enhance the
natural recreational attractions.
12.02 Public use of the reservoir is restricted by large private
ownerships and the physical terrain which is characterized by long reaches
of shoreline too rugged and steep for access except by boat. The creation
of the 25-mile-long Pend Oreille River arm of the lake by the construction
of Albeni Falls Dam made long reaches of shoreland suitable for recreation
development. The Corps of Engineers and the u. s. Forest Service are the
principal public landowners on the reservoir. A large portion of land
administered by the u. s. Forest Service along the reservoir is too steep
and rugged for development of water-oriented recreation. However, the
large forest areas administered by the u. s. Forest Service adjacent to the
reservoir provide an excellent base for satelite recreational developments
in the forest area and in the mountainous surrounding area. The Corps of
Engineers has a prime responsibility to provide needed public access to the
reservoir.
53
12,03 Increasing public demand for recreational facilities 1-1ill soon
tax the available recreation facilities constructed by the Corps of
Engineers, The grmith of recreational use exceeded original expectations
and a complete revision of the plan is required to establish the best
possible means for accommodating and meeting the project responsibilities
for pu"blic use of' the reservoir, A field reconnaissance of all Corps of
Engineers fee=owned land and a detailed study of the recreational needs
and uses resulted in the development of a plan for meeting future recrea=
tional demands, This plan was presented to the public agencies who have
interest in recreational use of the reservoir for their review and
comments in a series of informal meetings, This plan of development was
approved by these public agencies and is compatible with both the State
and Federal developments, particularly those of the u, S, Forest Service
and other principal public landowners on the reservoir,
12.04 Conclusions,, = Effective administration and management of proj=
ect lands and 1-1a ters are required to retain their value, to provide for
the orderly development and to meet public needs, The plan of development
proposed herein is a reasonable approach toward the planning for the future
to meet these goals and is c::mcurred in by the U, S. Forest Service, the
Bureau of Outdoor Rec:reatio:1, tl:-"e Bureau of Land Managemen+, 1 the State of
Idaho Departments of Pt;,_rks and Fish and Game 1 the Tmm of Priest River and
Bonner County1 Idaho. The plan represents the development of all fee=owned
land suitable for recreation use and allocates th:is land for priority 1
recreation use, All land approved for acquisition is designated for priority:
recreation use, Operational land in the vicinity of the project and land
use for debris disposal ana collection purposes are classified as project
Eevised Rep 64
operational lands. The rena:lnJ.Dg land is lmi and swampy and its highest
and best use is for fish and wildlife purposes. This land is presently
under license to the Idaho State Department of Fish and Game for opera
tion of game management uses, Continuation of this procedure is the
most satisfactory method for handling this resource. Further expansion
of recreational developments on the reservoir will depend primarily upon
supplemental acquisition of lands. This ~·~laster Plan is a guide for the
development of recreational facilities and management of the reservoir
and is intended to be sufficiently flexible so that adjustments can be
made by periodic revie'l·l to meet the changing conditions along the reser-
voir shorelands.
12.05 Recommendations. - This lvlaster Plan is recommended for
adoption as a guide to be followed in the development of land and water
areas of the Albeni Falls Project.

Dear Sir:
As a result of our meeting on May 21, 1964, with Mr. Denny and Mr. Hegesteg of your office, we are submitting our comments on the Master Plan for the Albeni Falls Project.
The preliminary Master Plan appears to provide adequate consideration for recreation development of those lands administered by the Corps of ~gineers. The coordination of development programs with those of adjacent Federal agencies seems adequate and appropriate consideration bas been given to preserving the associated esthetic values of the project.
We concur in the use of $1.50 per day for general recreation value used in this plan. The high quality recreation experience, the opportunity for long boat cruises, the scenic and esthetic v~lues and outstanding Kamloop trout fishery associated with Lake Pend Oreille seem to entirely justi~ this figure.
The graph of projected recreation use of the reservoir indicate a leveling trend in future visitation in the year 2010. However, the narrative does not appear to explain this leveling off.
The projected recreation visitation, to the reservoir, as indicated in the Kaster Plan appears to be conservative in view of the high quality recreation experience available and the accessibility of the project to population centers of the inland empire region.
We believe it would be desirable if Plate 2 of the attached maps indicate the adjacent public and private land ownership pattern in addition to the development priority for the recreation areas.

Dear Sir:

JUN 2 1964
We have reviewed your Master Plan for recreational develo~ment of the shore lands of your Albeni Falls Project.
It appears to be a com:prehensi ve :plan complementary to our :plans for developing National Forest lands in the :project area. Although it is obviously the intent of your planners to provide facilities only in areas outside the boundary of the Kaniksu National Forest, the plan does not clearly state this intention. We are hopeful that you can modify the text slightly to define this division of recreational jurisdiction and responsibility.
Thank you for giving us an opportunity to review and comment upon your plan.
Sincerely yours,
NEAL M. RAHM Regional Forester

This is to confirm our concurrence in the recreation development plan for the Albeni Falls Project of the Corps of Engineers which you presented to us during your recent visit. The plan appears to be comprehensive and would not have any adverse affect on Bureau of Land Management programs in this area. The Pack River Viewpoint located in the E~ of Sec. 8, T. 57 N., R. 1 E., B.M., would be complemented by development of the proposed Trestle Creek site by the Corps of Engineers.
We shall send a copy of the site development plan for the Pack River site as soon as possible and also we will include a listing of lands under Bureau of Land Management jurisdiction in the vicinity of Pend Oreille Lake for your information.

Mr. Robert MCCall, Administrative Assistant to the Governor, Mr. Gene DeReus of the State Fish and Game Department and I have discussed your proposals for the rrcreational interests on the Albeni Falls project in Northern Idaho. We concur with your recommendations and feel that the recreational interests will be adequately served with your plan. Your proposal seems to coincide well with projected State areas such as Sunnyside State Park, the proposed Farragut State Park and the proposed State area on Trestle Creek.
You have requested attendance figures for Sunnyside State Park. However, these are not readily available. Spot checks indicate that usuage was comparatively light due primarily to inadequate access roads. This problem was corrected during the past season. Attendance figures for Farragut Refuge will be furnished you by the State Fish and Game Department as soon as they are available.
The State has requested under separate correspondence the revocation of the existing license covering Albenj Cove Recreation Area. Upon completion of this request the area will revert to the Corps.
If we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact us.

After reviewing the proposed recreational areas you have planned around the Albeni Falls Reservoir, it is oqr opinoin they are very worth while projects.
We feel the proposed project at the mouth of the Clark Fork River at Johnson Creek should be one of the first considered, also the one at Oden Bay. These two would fill a great need in our County.
