The "project area" is considered to be the land area, the possession or ownership of which will be required for the construction, maintenance or operation of the project.

(b) They shall also include as a part thereof detailed estimates of the cost of consummating the project and a statement as to the time within which, after the granting of the license, the licensee will begin construction work, and the time within which he will put into operation the project works or each defined part or portion thereof.

The stream flow and elevation records, or other data from which such estimates of usable flow and head are deduced, should, if available, accompany the application. It is permissible, however, to refer to published gaging records kept by the State or federal governments, without providing copies of the same.
