Show 428 INTERNATIONAL TREATIES whole of the Canadian storage committed rather than a separate relationship for each of the three Canadian storages. Subject to com- pliance with any detailed operating plan agreed to by the entities as permitted by Article XIV(2)(k) of the Treaty, the manner of operation which will achieve the specific storage or release of storage called for in a hydroelectric operating plan consistent with optimum storage use will be at the discretion of the Canadian entity. (3) Optimum power generation ait-site in Canada and downstream in Canada and the United States of America referred to in para- graph 7 of Annex A of the Treaty will include power generation at-site and downstream in Canada of the Canadian storages referred to in Article 11(2) of the Treaty, power generation in Canada which is coordinated therewith, downstream power benefits from the Cana- dian storage which are produced in the United States of America and measured under the terms of Annex B of the Treaty, power gen- eration in the Pacific Northwest Area of the United States of America and power generation coordinated therewith. 8. The determination of downstream power benefits pursuant to Annex B of the Treaty, in respect of each year until the expiration of thirty years from the commencement of full operation in accordance with Article IV of the Treaty of that portion of the Canadian storage described in Article II of the Treaty which is last placed in full opera- tion, and thereafter until otherwise agreed upon by the entities, shall be based upon stream flows for the thirty-year period beginning July 1928 as contained in the report entitled "Extension of Modified Flows Through 1958-Columbia River Basin" and dated June 1960, as amended and supplemented to June 29, 1961, by the Water Manage- ment Subcommittee of the Columbia Basin Inter-Agency Committee. 9.(1) Each load used in making the determinations required by Steps II and III of paragraph 7 of Annex B of the Treaty shall have the same shape as the load of the Pacific Northwest area as that area is defined in that paragraph. (2) The capacity credit of Canadian storage shall not exceed the difference between the firm load carrying capabilities of the projects and installations included in Step II of paragraph 7 of Annex B of the Treaty and the projects and installations included in Step III of paragraph 7 of Annex B of the Treaty. 10. In making all determinations required by Annex B of the Treaty the loads used shall include the power required for pumping water for consumptive use into the Banks Equalizing Reservoir of the Columbia Basin Federal Reclamation Project but mention of this particular load is not intended in any way to exclude from those loads any use of power that would normally be part of such loads. 11. In the event operation of any of the Canadian storages is corn- menced at a time which would result in the United States of America receiving flood protection for periods longer than those on which the amounts of flood control payments to Canada set forth in Article VI (1) of the Treaty are based, the United States of America and Canada shall consult as to the adjustments, if any, in the flood con- trol payments that may be equitable in the light of all relevant factors. Any adjustment would be calculated over the longer period or pe- riods on the same basis and in the same manner as the calculation of |
