Sec.  208.25  Pensacola Dam and Reservoir, Grand (Neosho) River, Okla.



    The representative of the agency charged with the operation of the 

Pensacola Dam, referred to in this section as the Representative shall 

operate the dam and reservoir in the interest of flood control as 

follows:

    (a) Whenever the pool stage exceeds elevation 745 at the dam, the 

discharge facilities shall be operated under the direction of the 

District Engineer, Engineer Department at Large, in charge of the 

locality, so as to reduce as much as practicable the flood damage below

the reservoir and to limit the pool stage to elevation 755 at the dam.

    (b) The District Engineer will advise the Representative when inflow 

rates are anticipated which will raise the pool above elevation 745 at 

the dam. The District Engineer will also advise the Representative of 

essential increase in the flood control storage capacity of the 

reservoir which should be provided by drawing the pool down below 

elevation 745 at the dam in order to obtain maximum flood control 

benefits, with the provision that the suggested reduction in power 

storage shall at no time exceed the replacement volume of flow then in 

sight in the streams above the reservoir.

    (c) The Representative shall furnish the District Engineer, daily, a 

report showing the elevation of the reservoir pool and the tailwater, 

number of gates in operation, spillway and turbine releases, 

evaporation, storage, reservoir inflow, and precipitation in inches as 

shown by Agency gages. One reading shall be shown for each day with 

additional readings of releases for all changes in spillway gate 

operation, and with readings of all items except evaporation three times 

daily when the District Engineer advises the Representative that flood 

conditions are imminent. By agreement between the Representative and the 

District Engineer, any of the foregoing information may be furnished by 

telephone and may, if agreed upon, be omitted from the report. Whenever 

the pool is above elevation 745 at the dam the Representative shall 

submit additional reports by telegraph or telephone as directed by the 

District Engineer, with a report to be furnished immediately whenever 

the pool rises above elevation 745 at the dam.

    (d) The District Engineer will furnish the Representative with all 

available information and detailed instructions for operation of the 

reservoir in the interest of flood control during an emergency condition 

when communications between the dam and the District Office are broken. 

In the event that the District Engineer or his authorized representative 

cannot be reached by telephone, telegraph or by other means during a 

flood emergency, these instructions will govern. The provisions of 

paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section will govern at all times 

except during such an emergency.

    (e) Elevations stated in this section are referred to Pensacola 

datum which is 1.07 feet below mean sea level.
