  CHAPTER I--FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION, DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
PART 24_DECLARATION OF INTENTION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 24.1  Filing.




    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 791a-825r; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.; 42 U.S.C. 
7101-7352.


    An original and eight conformed copies of each declaration of 
intention under the provisions of section 23(b) of the Act shall be 
filed. The declaration shall give the name and post office address of 
the person to whom correspondence in regard to it shall be addressed, 
and shall be accompanied by:
    (a) A brief description of the proposed project and its purposes, 
including such data as maximum height of the dams, a storage capacity 
curve of the reservoir or reservoirs showing the maximum, average, and 
minimum operating pool levels, the initial and ultimate installed 
capacity of the project, the rated horsepower and head on the turbines, 
and a curve of turbine discharge versus output at average and minimum 
operating heads.
    (b)(1) A general map (one tracing and three prints) of any 
convenient size and scale, showing the stream or streams to be utilized 
and the approximate location and the general plan of the project.
    (2) Also a detailed map of the proposed project area showing all 
Federal lands, and lands owned by States, if any, occupied by the 
project.
    (3) A profile of the river within the vicinity of the project 
showing the location of the proposed project and any existing 
improvements in the river.
    (4) A duration curve and hydrograph for the natural and proposed 
regulated flows at the dam site. Furnish references to the published 
stream flow records used and submit copies of any unpublished records 
used in preparation of these curves.
    (c) (1) A definite statement of the proposed method of utilizing 
storage or pondage seasonally, weekly and daily, during periods of low 
and normal flows after the plant is in operation and the system load has 
grown to the extent

[[Page 227]]

that the capacity of the plant is required to meet the load. For 
example, furnish:
    (i) Hydrographs covering a 10-day low water period showing the 
natural flow of the stream and the effect thereon caused by operations 
of the proposed power plant:
    (ii) Similar hydrographs covering a 10-day period during which the 
discharge of the stream approximates average recorded yearly flow, and
    (iii) Similar hydrographs covering a low water year using average 
monthly flows.
    (2) A system load curve, both daily and monthly, and the position on 
the load curve that the proposed project would have occupied had it been 
in operation.
    (3) A proposed annual rule of operation for the storage reservoir or 
reservoirs.
