on each sheet. Several sections of a conduit, transmission line, telephone line, road, railway, etc.. may be shown upon a single sheet, each so placed or limited as to avoid crowding or confusion. Except to the extent and in such particulars as the requirements may be expressly waived or modined by the Commission the detail map to be filed as this exhibit shall conform to the specifications for drawings, § 4.42, and the following requirements:

(1) It shall show the project area and the project boundary.

(1) The project boundary for reservoirs may be shown by metes and bounds, or by a contour, or if the project lands are covered by the public land survey by lines along or parallel to lines of the public land survey. Where a flowage easement or right of use Involving other than a conveyance in fee for

reservoir applies to a whole tract of land and is not otherwise defined, the project boundary may enclose the entire tract.

(11) The project boundary for continuous structures, such as transmission lines, telephone and control lines, conduits, roads, etc., may be described by center or offset lines of survey specifying distances of the project boundary therefrom.

(iii) Except with respect to lands necessary or appropriate for recreation purposes, for which it is recognized that additional project area will generally be required, the project boundary shall be no more than 200 feet (horizontal measurement) from the exterior margin (in general, high-water level) of reservoirs, nor shall the width of the project area for canals, ditches, pipelines, transmission lines, roads, and other so-called continuous structures exceed 200 feet, unless satisfactory reasons are given to the contrary. The project boundary shall be shown on the map in such manner that it can be readily identified on the ground. There shall be shown the location and description of monuments and other marks with reference lines therefrom to permanent objects in accordance with good practice in land surveying.

(iv) If the project boundary is located on lands covered by the public land survey there shall be shown a reference line from the initial point of the project boundary survey by distances and bearings to an established corner if one can be identified within a distance of 2 miles. At each intersection of the project boundary with an identiled line of the public land survey, there shall be shown the station number on the boundary survey, and the bearing and distance to the nearest identified corner ir each direction on the public land survey line crossed, if such distance does not exceed one mile. The station number of the boundary survey shall be shown at points of entering and leaving lands of the United States or lands in which the United States has an interest.

(v) The project boundary, if described other than by a contour, shall be accurately

plotted on the map with courses and distances fully and legibly shown either along the plotted boundary or in tabular form on the map. The project boundary if described by a contour shall be accurately plotted on the map with such data as completely and accurately fixes its location and permits its recovery in the field.

(vi) If a contour project boundary is located on lands covered by the public land survey, a permanent monument shall be established at each intersection of the boundary with an identified line of the public land survey. The map shall have the location of all such monuments with the bearing distance from each monument to nearest identified corner in each direction If such distance does not exceed one mile.

(vii) Wherever a Federal survey monument will be destroyed or rendered unusable by the proposed development, at least two permanent, marked witness monuments shall be established at accessible points. The map shall show a description of the monument destroyed or rendered unusable and location of the witness monuments with the connecting courses and distances to the original monument. Similarly where Federal bench marks are destroyed or rendered unusable, witness bench marks shall be established at accessible points. The map shall show the location and elevation of the original and witness bench marks with connecting courses and distances.

(viii) There shall be shown the status as to ownership, and the boundary lines and area of each parcel of land within, or partly within, the project area, designating separately lands owned by the applicant, lands to be acquired by the applicant, lands for which the applicant holds rights of use and Occupancy for purposes of the project, reservations (indicating separately each reservation), and public lands (indicating separately lands, full title to which remains in the United States, and lands in which the United States retains only an interest) Where the project works occupy lands not owned by the applicant, but as to which the applicant holds only an easement, franchise, lease, or other right of occupancy and use, the map shall show the nature of such right and shall give appropriate reference to Exhibit F for further details.

(ix) Each map shall have thereon a statement by the person who makes or supervises the survey that the survey was accurately made and is correctly shown on the map. Each map shall have thereon a statement that the person who makes or supervises the survey has been employed by the applicant to make the survey.

(2) The location shall be accurately shown of all project works, such as

(1) Dams.

(11) Reservoirs. Show the flow lines for maximum and minimum water levels and for elevation of spillway crest, and give tables or diagrams of areas and capacities for

maximum and minimum water levels and for each contour line.

(111) Water conduits. Show center line, grade, and elevation of bottom at each change of grade, and designate lengths of each type of conduit, 1. e., flume, ditch tunnel, pipe, etc.

(iv) Powerhouses, switchyards.

substations,

lines and

and

appur

(v) Transmission tenances, telephone lines, roads, railways. trails, tramways and bridges.

(vi) Navigation structures.

(vii) Channel approaches to navigation structures. Indicate elevation of bottom for distance of not less than 1,000 feet above and below the structures.

(3) Show contour lines with contour intervals of not more than 10 feet for the entire project area, except such portions as will be occupied only by such project works as are enumerated in (2) (v), or as will be included in reservoirs below the minimum elevation to which the water may be drawn down. Profiles of tunnel lines may be substituted for contours along such lines specifications for drawings in § 4.42.)
