* The project boundry line (PBL) values include reservoir full pond shoreline plus the island full pond shoreline. ** The shoreline management plan (SMP) values include SMP shoreline plus SMP island shoreline miles. The SMP shoreline contour for each reservoir is based on approximation of the normal summertime operating level for each reservoir. Catawba/Wateree data computed from August 2006 SMP GIS data files.
