The physical composition, dimensions, and general configuration of
any dams, spillways, penstocks, powerhouses, tailraces, or other
structures, whether existing or proposed, to be included as part of the
project;

The normal maximum surface area and normal maximum surface
elevation (mean sea level), gross storage capacity and usable storage
capacity of any impoundments to be included as part of the project;

whether existing or proposed, to be included as part of the project;
