Show APPENDIX VI VI 97 to said act. The attached additional regulation No. 1 for generation and sale of power in accordance with the Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act, upon issuance, will be made a part of these principles and criteria. 6. In accomplishing the foregoing, Lake Powell will be operated in general accordance with the provisions of principles 7 and 8. 7. Storage capacity in Lake Powell to elevation 3,490 (6.5 million acre-feet surface storage) shall be obtained at the earliest practicable time in accordance with the following procedure: Until elevation 3,490 is first reached, any water stored in Lake Powell shall be available to maintain rated head on Hoover powerplant. When stored water in Lake Powell has reached elevation 3,490, it will not be subject to release or diminution below elevation 3,490. The obtaining of this storage level in Lake Powell will be in such manner as not to cause Lake Mead to be drawn down below elevation 1,123 (14.5 million acre-feet available surface storage), which corresponds to rated head on the Hoover powerplant. In the process of gaining storage to elevation 3,490, the release from Glen Canyon Dam shall not be less than 1.0 million acre-feet per year and 1,000 cubic feet per second, as long as inflow and storage will permit. The operation of Lake Powell above elevation 3,490 and Lake Mead will be coordinated and integrated so as to produce the greatest practical amount of power and energy. In view of the provision for allowance set forth in principle 5 hereof, the quantity of water released through each powerplant will be determined by the Secretary in a manner appropriate to meet the filling criteria. 9. In general, it is not anticipated that secondary energy will be generated at Hoover during the filling period. However, any secondary energy, as defined in the Hoover contracts, which may be generated and delivered at transmission voltage at Hoover powerplant will be disposed of under the terms of such contracts. 10. In the annual application of the flood control regulations to the operation of Lake Mead, recognition shall be given to available capacity in upstream reservoirs. Approved, April 2, 1962. Stewart L. Udall, Secretary; of the Interior. (Published in Federal Register, 27 F.R. 6851 (July 19, 1962).) 603 Additional Regulation No. 1 to the General Regulations for Generation and Sale of Power in Accordance With the Boulder Canyon Project Adjustment Act In accordance with the terms and conditions of the act of July 19, 1940 (54 Stat. 774), and article 27 of the General Regulations promulgated May 20, 1941, the following additional Regulation No. 1 is hereby promulgated: "Commencing with June 1, 1987, charges for electrical energy in addition to such other components as may then be authorized or required under the then existing laws and regulations, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, shall include a component to return to the United States funds adequate to reimburse the Upper Colorado River Basin Fund for moneys expended from such fund on account of allowances for Hoover diminution during the filling period of the storage project reservoirs authorized by the Act of April 11, 1956 (70 Stat. 105), in accordance with paragraph 5 of the General Principles to Govern, and Operating Criteria for, Glen Canyon Reservoir (Lake Powell) and Lake Mead during the Lake Powell Filling Period, approved April 2, 1962. Such component shall be sufficient, but not more than sufficient, to provide said reimbursement in equal annual installments over a period of years equal to the number of years over which costs on account of allowance were incurred by the said Upper Colorado River Basin Fund." (Adopted by Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall on July 12, 1962. Published in Federal Register, 27 F.R. 6850 (July 19, 1962).) |
