The United States Geological
Survey has agreed 10 conduct
"a two-year concentrated study

washed down the Potomac
River Valley annually.

These Developments grew out

Offices Of the Interstate Com

Basin. Represented were tech

Virginia agencies.

Ellis s. Tisdale, commission
director, said the Geological

many actual silt sampling sta
lions as possible at key points
throughout the 14.600 square
miles Of the Potomac River
watershed. Where sampline

The amount Of silt depositinG
has never been measured in the

Aside from the high cost Of
