Common use of Conventions and Definitions Clause in Contracts

Conventions and Definitions. All elevations listed below are relative to the top of the dam (including the flood gates, fuse plugs and flashboards where applicable), with 100.0 ft = Full Pond. Normal Minimum, Normal Maximum and Normal Target Elevations change on a daily basis. The elevations shown are for the 1st day of the given month. Elevations for other days of the month are determined by linear interpolation. The Normal Target Elevation = the lake level that DPNA will endeavor in good faith to achieve, unless operating in the Low Inflow or Hydro Project Maintenance & Emergency Protocol. Since inflows vary significantly and outflow demands also vary, DPNA will not always be able to maintain actual lake levels at the Normal Target Elevations. As long as actual lake levels are within the Normal Operating Range and DPNA is not operating under the Low Inflow or Hydro Project Maintenance and Emergency Protocols, DPNA will be in compliance with any future settlement agreement, 401 Water Quality Certification and license requirements with regard to lake levels.
