land from the project boundary, currently defined as the 662-foot 
elevation Union Electric Datum (i.e., 0.9 feet higher than mean sea 
level) around the project reservoir (Lake of the Ozarks). Property 
within the boundary encompasses all 57,460 surface acres of the project 
reservoir and 2,118 acres of lands adjacent to reservoir and downstream 
of Bagnell Dam. The lands proposed to be removed consist of five 
separate sites throughout the project reservoir and represent less than 
one percent of the project's total acreage. These five sites primarily 
consist of hay fields, cattle pastures, private camping areas, isolated 
ponds, and forested and riparian areas. Ameren UE states that the 
underlying lands at these five sites are not needed for project 
operation and maintenance or other project purposes, including 
recreation, shoreline control, or protection of environmental 
resources. Ameren UE also states it would continue to retain the right 
to flow water over the lands proposed for removal should the need 
arise.
