Page 24

source of water, ultimate capacity of all power plants in use or proposed to be used, and the present installed capacity of constructed plants; also connections, if any, with other power systems.

Exhibit J. General map covering the entire project area, showing on a single sheet and to an appropriate scale the location of the following:

(1) Principal structures and other important features of the proj ect, including such roads, railways, tramways, and bridges as it is proposed shall become part of the project works and be placed under the license.

(2) All transmission lines, substations, switchyards, and telephone lines, which it is proposed shall become a part of the project works and be placed under license, as well as the general layout of the transmission system, if any, with which the project may be connected, indicating prominently by appropriate symbol the portion or portions of the transmission lines or system covered by application for license. (3) State and county lines, towns, streams, stream gaging stations, railroads, power plants, irrigation systems, and other features in the vicinity of the proposed development, information concerning which will aid in arriving at a general comprehension of the project.

(4) Reference to the detail map indicating by outline the portion

shown on each sheet.

(5) If all features cannot be shown with sufficient distinctness on one sheet, two general maps may be furnished, one for the power plant and appurtenant works, and one for the transmission system. (One tracing and four blue prints. See specifications for drawings, § 4.42.)

Exhibit K. Detail map covering entire project area. Scale shall be such as to show clearly, but without unnecessary multiplicity of sheets, the essential details of surveys and of notes as to ownership or right of occupancy of lands within the project area. In general, a scale of approximately 400 feet to the inch is appropriate for features containing a relatively large amount of detail, and scales of 1,000 or 2,000 feet to the inch where there is little detail, as is frequently the case with respect to transmission and telephone lines, roads, and railways. Elevations shall be tied to Government bench marks whenever available, and shall be referred to mean sea level except that in the case of projects in navigable waters having a datum accepted for local use by the Office of the Chief of Engineers, War Department, such local datum shall be used. If more than one sheet is used, the sheets shall be numbered consecutively, and each shall bear a small diagram showing the entire map and indicating the portions shown on each sheet. Several sections of a conduit, transmission line, telephone line, road, railway, etc., may be shown upon a single sheet, each so placed or limited as to avoid crowding or confusion. Except to the extent and in such particulars as the requirements may be expressly waived or modified by the Commission, the detail map to be filed as this exhibit shall conform to the specifications for drawings, § 4.42, and the following requirements:

(1) It shall show the project area and the project boundary.

Page 25 [25]

(i) Unless satisfactory reasons are given to the contrary, the project boundary shall not be more than 200 feet (horizontal measurement) from the exterior margin (in general, high-water level) of reservoirs, nor shall the width of the project area for canals, ditches, pipe lines, transmission lines, roads, and other so-called continuous structures exceed 200 feet. The project boundary shall be shown on the map in such manner that it can be readily identified on the ground. There shall be shown the location and description of monuments and other marks with reference lines therefrom to permanent objects in accordance with good practice in land surveying.

(ii) If the project boundary is located on lands covered by the public land survey there shall be shown a reference line from the initial point of the project boundary survey by distances and bearings to an established corner if one can be identified within a distance of 2 miles. At each intersection of the project boundary with an identified line of the public land survey, there shall be shown the station number on the boundary survey, and the bearing and distance to the nearest identified corner in each direction on the public land survey line crossed, if such distance does not exceed one mile.

(iii) Field notes, or a description by metes and bounds, of the final location survey of the project boundary shall be furnished either on the map or on separate sheets to be made a part of the exhibit, unless all courses and distances are fully and legibly shown along the plotted boundary.

(iv) Such portions of the project area as will be used for continuous structures, such as transmission lines, telephone lines, canals, roads, etc., may be described by center or offset lines of survey specifying distances of the project boundary therefrom. Such lines of survey shall be referred to the public land survey and permanent objects in a manner similar to that prescribed for the project boundary.

(v) There shall be shown the status as to ownership, and the boundary lines and area of each parcel of land within, or partly within, the project area, designating separately lands owned by the applicant, lands to be acquired by the applicant, lands for which the applicant holds rights of use and occupancy for purposes of the project, reservations (indicating separately each reservation), and public lands (indicating separately lands, full title to which remains in the United States, and lands in which the United States retains only an interest). Where the project works occupy lands not owned by the applicant, but as to which the applicant holds only as easement, franchise, lease, or other right of occupancy and use, the map shall show the nature of such right and shall give appropriate reference to exhibit F for further details.

(2) The location shall be accurately shown of all project works, such as

(i) Dams.

(ii) Reservoirs. Show the flow lines for maximum and minimum water levels and for elevation of spillway crest, and give tables or diagrams of areas and capacities for maximum and minimum water levels and for each contour line.

Page 26

[graphic]

(iii) Water conduits. Show center line, grade, and elevation of bottom at each change of grade, and designate lengths of each type of conduit, i. e., flume, ditch, tunnel, pipe, etc.

(iv) Powerhouses, substations, and switchyards.

(v) Transmission lines and appurtenances, telephone lines, roads, railways, trails, tramways, and bridges.

(vii) Channel approaches to navigation structures. Indicate elevation of bottom for distances of not less than 1,000 feet above and below the structures.

(3) Show contour lines with contour intervals of not more than 10 feet for the entire project area, except such portions as will be occupied only by such project works as are enumerated in (2) (v), or as will be included in reservoirs below the minimum elevation to which the water may be drawn down. Profiles of tunnel lines may be substituted for contours along such lines.

(One tracing and four blue prints. See specifications for drawings in $ 4.42.)

Exhibit L. General design drawings showing plans, elevations, and sections of all principal structures and appurtenant works or other features of the project. These drawings shall be in sufficient detail and shall be accompanied by sufficient information relating to controlling factors (such as character of foundations and explorations thereof, materials, types of construction, important elevations, water levels, etc.) to enable the Commission to have a full understanding of the project and to check safety, adequacy, and desirability in the development of the resources involved.

Scales are not specified, but it is desired that they be no larger than necessary to show clearly the information required. Drawings should be simple. Details are desired only as necessary to show features of importance in determining safety, adequacy, and suitability of design. Working drawings are not desired as part of application, but should be prepared for purposes of construction and retained as a record of the work when completed. In this exhibit shall be included

(1) Dams and appurtenances, such as spillways, fishways, outlet works, etc.

(2) Navigation structures and approaches thereto, including locks, lock gates, operating machinery, etc.

(3) Conduits, including forebays, intake works, surge tanks, and other pressure relief devices, etc.

One tracing and four blue prints. See specifications for drawings in § 4.42.)

Exhibit M. General descriptions and general specifications of mechanical, electrical, and transmission equipment and their appurtenances in sufficient detail to enable the Commission to have a full understanding of the project, to determine the installed capacity in horsepower, and to determine the safety of the project works and their adequacy and suitability for the development and utilization of the resources involved.
