(a) They shall set
					 forth a clear and comprehensive description of the applicant's project, for
					 which purpose detailed maps, plans or drawings, drawn to scale, and
					 specifications of the "project", as that term is defined by section 613 of the
					 Conservation Law, in sufficient detail to enable the commission to fully
					 comprehend the nature and extent thereof, including the extent of the land
					 proposed to be flooded by such project works, and the location and boundaries
					 of the project area with respect to the boundaries of all cities, counties,
					 towns and villages which lie in whole or in part within the same, shall
					 accompany the application. 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.
(c)
(1)
					 They shall set forth the applicant's information or estimate with respect to
					 the flow, from time to time, of the stream which he proposes to develop,
					 together with his information or estimate with respect to the flow thereof
					 which will or may be utilized from time to time in his project plant for the
					 development of power, and his information or estimate with respect to the head
					 under which the flow of the stream can, from time to time, be utilized for
					 power purposes in his project plant. 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. If the stream flow or head at the power
					 site is derived from data other than published stream gaging and water surface
					 elevation records, or from modifications of such records, then the data,
					 methods and factors used in making up such estimates of stream yield and head
					 shall accompany the application.
(2) They shall also set forth the working
					 head under which it will operate and the rated capacity of the hydraulic and
					 electrical apparatus to be installed in the project plant.
(3) They shall also disclose the effect, if
					 any, of the construction and operation of the project works upon any waters,
					 whether within or without the State, which are susceptible of use for
					 navigation purposes and also upon any canal or canal feeder lands, waters or
					 structures.
