MASTER CAPTION

FUKUJI DAM SECOND PHASE CONSTRUCTION - Construction officially began May 18 of the second and final phase of the $12 million Fukuji Dam project which will increase Okinawa's water reservoir storage capacity tenfold. Civil Administrator Robert A. Fearey, Government of the Ryukyu Islands Chief Executive Chobyo Yara, Ryukyu Domestic Water Corporation (RDWC) President Hirosada Oham, and Oshiro Constriction Company President Kamakichi Oshiro participated in a ground-breaking ceremony at the dam site in Higashi-son, northeastern Okinawa. The second phase will begin as the first phase nears completion. Both phases are financed with United States funds. The reservoir, which will be fed by rainfall over a watershed area of 7,700 acres, will impound some 10 billion gallons of water. The second phase contract awarded March 23 to the Oshiro firm calls for construction of a 260-foot high embankment, approximately 1,000 feet thick at the bottom, tapering to 40 feet in width at the top. It will be 850 feet in length across the top of the dam, surmounted by a 39-foot-wide highway. The structure will consist of 2.2 million cubic yards of compacted earth-rock fill. The contract also includes construction of a 100-foot-wide overflow spillway and a 150-foot-long overpass bridge. The initial phase of the project, begun in July 1969, is nearing completion by the Asian-American Construction Company. This phase is for construction of a diversion tunnel 1,100 feet long and 13 feet in diameter, access roads leading to the dam site, and development of a quarry site for the embankment materials.
