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.
