Engineer Technical Letter Request

In summary, the individual is conducting research on Dam Safety and is searching for a specific document, the Engineer Technical Letter ETL 1110-2-221: Wave Runup and Wind Setup on Reservoir Embankments, published by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1976. They have been unable to find it online and are seeking help in obtaining a copy. The suggestion is made to speak with a reference librarian for assistance in borrowing the document from other libraries.

As part of a research project on Dam Safety I am making some calculations for wave runup an wind setup on a existing embankment dam.
Looking for information, I found a citation of the US Army Corps of Engineers related to my research topic, but I have not been able to find this document on the USACE online library.
I am interested in the Engineer Technical Letter ETL 1110-2-221: Wave Runup and Wind Setup on Reservoir Embankments, USACE 1976.

I was wondering if there is some way to get a copy of this document?
(The document is freely distributed, but, maybe due it is quite old, I haven't been able to find it on internet).

I would very grateful to receive any information related to my request.

Go talk to a reference librarian. They can usually help borrow things from other libraries if your library does not have it.

I agree with OldEngr63. Every time I was doing research projects and had issues finding copies of documents, the librarians in the university engineering library were wonderfully helpful.
