The report discusses (1) the operation of drawbridges and locks on the Nation's inland waterways during hours of limited waterway traffic and (2) the use of the Dismal Swamp Canal as a through navigation route. The review was made to demonstrate the potential for savings to the taxpayers through reducing or eliminating operations on waterways with limited vessel usage while providing for the reasonable needs of navigation. The information in this report may be useful to the Congress in considering a balanced national transportation policy and waterway user charge legislation.
