In accomplishing the foregoing, Glen Canyon Reservoir <br /> <br />will be operated in general accordance with the provisions of Sec- <br /> <br />tions 7 and 8. <br /> <br />7. Storage capacity in Glen Canyon Reservoir to elevation <br />3,490 (6.5 million acre-feet surface storage) shall be obtained at <br />the earliest practicable time in accordance with the following pro- <br /> <br />cedure: <br /> <br />Until elevation 3,490 is first reached, any water <br /> <br /> <br />stored in Glen Canyon Reservoir shall be available to <br /> <br />maintain rated head on Hoover Power Plant. vfuen stored <br /> <br />'^' <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />...1 <br /> <br />water in Glen Canyon Reservoir has reached elevation 3,490, <br /> <br />it will not be subject to release or diminution below <br /> <br />elevation 3,490. The obtaining of this storage level in <br /> <br />Glen Canyon Reservoir will be in such manner as to not <br /> <br />cause Lake Mead to be drawn down below elevation 1,123 <br />(14.5 million acre-feet available surface storage), which <br />corresponds to rated head on the Hoover Power Plant. In <br />the process of gaining storage to elevation 3,490, the <br />release from Glen Canyon shall not be less than 1.0 million <br /> <br />acre-feet per year and 1,000 cubic feet per second, as long <br /> <br />; ~-. <br />ro.: <br />.'': <br /> <br />as inflow and storage will permit. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />8. The operation of Glen Canyon Reservoir above elevation <br /> <br />3,490 and Lake Mead will be coordinated and integrated so as to pro- <br /> <br />duce the greatest practical amount of power and energy. In view of <br /> <br />the provision for allowance set forth in Section 5 hereof, the quan- <br /> <br />tity of water released through each power plant will be determined <br /> <br />3 <br />
