U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 831h-1. Operation of dams primarily for promotion of navigation and controlling floods; generation and sale of electricity
The Board is directed in the operation of any dam or reservoir in
its possession and control to regulate the stream flow primarily
for the purposes of promoting navigation and controlling floods. So
far as may be consistent with such purposes, the Board is
authorized to provide and operate facilities for the generation of
electric energy at any such dam for the use of the Corporation and
for the use of the United States or any agency thereof, and the
Board is further authorized, whenever an opportunity is afforded,
to provide and operate facilities for the generation of electric
energy in order to avoid the waste of water power, to transmit and
market such power as in this chapter provided, and thereby, so far
as may be practicable, to assist in liquidating the cost or aid in
the maintenance of the projects of the Authority.
