Excerpt from Report of J. W. Reagan, Engineer Los Angeles County Flood Control District: Upon the Control of Flood Waters in This District by Correction of Rivers, Diversion and Care of Washes, Building of Dikes and Dams, Protecting Public Highways, Private Property and Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors I may say at the outset that it has seemed advisable to follow in a general way the plans for flood control which were outlined by the Board of Engineers of Flood Control, in their report presented to the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County on July 27, 1915, and now on file in the office of said Board. The work to be done resolves itself into four parts: First, the construction of both large and small dams in the mountainous areas; second, the protection of the banks of the smaller streams together with spreading and storing of waters of these streams for beneficial use; third, the straightening and rectification through river training and bank protection of the major streams; and fourth, protection to the harbors and shipping interests. On the Pacoima Wash, about four miles above the mouth of the canyon, there will be built a concrete masonry dam 145 feet high. It will impound 3200 acre feet of water.
