I. INTRODUCTION
I. INTRODUCTION
The transmission lines, associated with development of the Bradley Lake
hydroelectric facility, are reviewed in the following report. The review
includes a conceptual design and detailed cost estimate for the lines leaving
the Bradley Lake powerhouse. The powerhouse is proposed to be located at
the water 1 s edge, at the east end of Kachemak Bay. The power from this
facility is proposed to be transported over two new parallel 115 kV trans-
mission lines to a location (called Homer Junction in this report) approximately
20 miles northeast of the City of Homer.
These 115 kV lines are conceptually designed in this report. The design is
not intended to necessarily be the best possible design choice or to fix any
part of the actual design process, but to insure a workable design before
cost estimating. A structure, which has proven well suited to the Kenai
Peninsula, is used to develop a reasonable conceptual line design. Pole sizes
and strengths are roughly optimized with consideration to conductor char-
acteristics and embedment depths. Anchoring is estimated from a cursory soil
investigation and general area geology. Right-of-way width is determined
from conductor displacement calculations and proximity for a double circuit
line. A proposed study corridor is selected based on preliminary land status
and a brief field reconnaissance. The conclusion of this effort is a line con-
struction cost estimate from a detailed unit breakdown.
If a significant amount of Bradley Lake power is to be transported to Anchor-
age, it will probably be necessary to construct a new 230 kV line from
Soldotna to Anchorage. In addition to the Bradley Lake 115 kV I ines, a
cursory cost estimate is developed for a 230 kV line from Soldotna to
Anchorage. Two routes are examined for this new line: one parallels the
existing 115 kV line around Turnagain Arm; and the second follows the gas
- 1 -
line to a submarine cable crossing of the Arm. A detailed cost estimate for
either of these routes is beyond the scope of this report. Instead, a very
preliminary cost estimate is developed from an analysis of contruction costs of
completed transmission line projects throughout Alaska. This analysis deter-
mines a 11 cost per mile 11 for each project in 1983 dollars and develops some
expected costs for different voltages and construction types.
The new 230 kV lines are then divided into different construction type seg-
ments and a 11 cost per mile 11 applied to each segment.
The final section of this report presents a brief summary of the transmission
line comments from previous engineering studies. The recommendations from
these reports have been incorporated where they were determined appro-
priate.
The purpose of this report is to:

II. SUMMARY
II. SUMMARY
A. BRADLEY LAKE TO HOMER JUNCTION
Costs for the Bradley Lake line are developed from a detailed unit
breakdown of a typical construction contract. Prices for each labor unit
are estimated based on experience and material prices quoted from local
distributors. Two costs are presented: a single 115 kV line; and a
double 115 kV line. The double line is estimated by increasing the
single line estimate for additional construction units only. The double
line is assumed to be built in one construction effort, so items such as
mobilization are not double that of the single circuit.
Line Type
115 kV Single Line
115 kV Double Line
Estimated Cost
$4,754,000
$8,877,000
The above costs include labor and material, engineering, clearing, con-
struction management, and owner 1 s cost. They do not include right-of-
way cost, substation costs, or operating and maintenance costs. The
following Plate 1 shows the line route selected for this estimate, a more
detailed map is included as Plates 4.1 through 4. 5.

B. SOLDOTNA TO ANCHORAGE
Two routes are investigated for this line: route 1 follows the existing
overhead 115 kV line; and route 2 follows the existing gas line to
Chickaloon Bay and crosses Turnagain Arm with submarine cable.
Line Type
230 kV Overhead -Route 1
230 kV Submarine -Route 2
Estimated Cost
$62,500,000
$69,000,000
The above costs include labor and material, engineering, clearing, con-
struction management, and owner•s cost. They do not include right-of-
way costs, substation costs, or operating and maintenance costs.
The 230 kV overhead estimate is based on comparing the construction
requirements with those of other completed projects and then selecting a
cost per mile. This method is further described in Section Ill. B.
The estimate for 230 kV submarine cable is very preliminary. The con-
struction technique required for cable laying will significantly impact the
cost of this option. At this time, no effort has been made to investigate
any cable laying techniques. The estimate presented here is based on
information from the only 230 kV cable project in Alaska, the CEA cable
crossing over the Knik Arm. Knik Arm and Turnagain Arm are quite
different, and the estimate here assumes considerable savings in labor
over the Knik Arm crossing. This assumption and all other aspects of
the cable estimate will need considerably more investigation if this option
is considered viable.
The following Plate 2 shows the two routes used for this estimate.

A. BRADLEY LAKE TO HOMER JUNCTION
1. General Routing
The route of the transmission line is subject to many influences, a
long list of compromises, and is seldom completely settled until just
before construction. In this report we have not attempted to com-
plete the routing effort. Instead, we have proposed a few changes
to the Corps of Engineers' route from their August 1982 Environ-
mental Impact Statement and offer some general routing observa-
tions.
The 11 Proposed Corridor" presented in Plates 4.1 through 4.5 is
based on: two field trips, a brief review of land ownership, and
preliminary soil probes. The routing changes from the Corps'
effort will minimize private property crossings and avoid the
southern boundary of the Kenai National Moose Range which has
been given Wilderness Preserve Status.
The proposed corridor has not been presented to any agencies, or
the public. However, the findings from the Corps• Final E. I. S. wi II
probably still apply. The E.I.S. concluded low potential for bio-
logical impacts. Visual impacts should also be reduced across the
Fox River because of a more northerly crossing. Probably the most
significant visual impact will be due to the required right-of-way
clearing in the first line section north of the powerhouse. This
section is heavily timbered and may also be visible from the water
at the end of Kachemak Bay. The proposed corridor is parallel to
- 7 -
the end of the bay to minimize visual impacts but because of the
clearing width and heavy timber it may be visible.
Existing land records have been reviewed and general land owner-
ships are identified on Plates 4.1 through 4.5. This effort is not
intended to be comprehensive, but to show the easily definable pri-
vate interest and public lands.
2. Geology
For purposes of estimating the cost of structure foundations, the
route of the 115 kV transmission line, from the Bradley Lake power-
house to the tie into the HEA 115 kV transmission line (Homer Junc-
tion), may be divided into three distinct sections.
The first section, from the powerhouse to the Fox River and Sheep
Creek deltas, approximately 6 miles in length, traverses a heavily
forested area along the lower slopes of the Kenai Mountains. The
second section, across the delta at the head of Kachemak Bay, is
approximately 3 miles long over open terrain. Toward the north-
west, the third traverses a flat plain for about 10 miles from the
delta to the tie at Homer Junction.
Information has been gathered from several sources including: a
helicopter overflight of the area; two geologic reconnaissance re-
ports of the Bradley Lake project which concentrate on the dam and
powerhouse sites; aerial photo interpretation of False Infra-Red
photographs of the line route; a subsurface investigation at McNeil
Creek (a site located some 10 miles south of Caribou Lake resting
on the same geologic surficial deposits as exist along the route);
and a brief soil investigation using a hand probe. A brief descrip-
tion of the three line sections follows.
In Section 1, from the powerhouse to the delta, the terrain is
heavily wooded and covered with thick underbrush for a distance of
- 8 -
approximately 5. 9 miles. From all indications, this part of the line
will be mostly in hard rock covered by shallow overburden consist-
ing of organic material and gravelly till. Peaty bogs in undrained
depressions and talus deposits of relatively loose granular material
may be encountered.
In Section 2, beyond the mountainous region, the line traverses the
Fox River and Sheep Creek delta, a distance of approximately 3.4
miles. The crossing is located beyond the reach of the tidal waters
of Kachemak Bay so inundation is unlikely unless the area subsides,
as has happened during previous earthquakes.
Previous investigations have shown that the intertidal and deltaic
areas along the shore consist of alluvial deposits overlain by up to
6 feet of clay. From photo interpretation and the line being outside
the .tidal reach, we expect the soil to be alluvial deposits of rela-
tively loose to compact silty sands, gravels, and cobbles.
In Section 3, the third and longest segment of the transmission line
(approximately 9. 7 miles), is situated on a peneplain of relatively
flat relief. Geologic maps show two main formations in this part of
the Kenai Peninsula, the sandstones and siltstones of the Kenai
group and the overlying quaternary surficial deposits. It appears,
from studies of the aerial photographs, that the surficial deposits
are relatively thin. Marshy areas surrounding Caribou Lake are
extensive and consist of peat and soft organic silt.
Transmission structures located outside the wet areas will probably
be founded in a sandy silt or silty sand soil. The previously men-
tioned subsurface investigation at McNeil Creek revealed a layered
system of silty sand and sandy silt with traces of some gravel. To
a depth of approximately 10 feet, the deposits are relatively com-
pact and increase in density at greater depths.
- 9 -
Assuming similar soils exist in our area of interest there should be
no difficulty in providing suitable foundations for the directly em-
bedded pole structures.
A second helicopter field trip was carried out to accumulate soil
information for preliminary selection of anchor types. This proce-
dure was accomplished by performing soil test probe readings and
relating these readings back to general soil classifications for
determining anchor holding powers.
Soil probe readings in Section 1 were taken at two locations. The
first, on a bluff near the Bradley River, consists of three test
probes. The second, near the delta prior to leaving the timbered
area, consists of three test probes.
One soil probe reading was taken in Section 2, at the edge of the
Fox River.
Soil probe readings in Section 3 were taken at two locations. The
first, in a swamp near the proposed airstrip, consists of one test
probe. The second, on a knoll southwest of Caribou Lake and
approximately 3 miles east of Homer Electric Assocation junction,
consists of three test probes.
The results and summary of all the probe readings are included in
Appendix A of this report and the test probe locations are marked
on Plates 4.1 through 4.5.
3. Conceptual Design
The conceptual design is based on the National Electrical Safety
Code ( N ESC 1981 Edition), Grade 11 B 11 Construction, the Design
Manual for High Voltage Transmission Lines (REA Bulletin 62-1,
revised August 1980), and engineering judgment for the local condi-
tions. The design is by no means complete, it is only one logical
-10 -
approach for determining structure limits and miscellaneous hard-
ware requirements for developing a unit cost estimate.
The following discussion outlines the criteria, computations, and
results of the line voltage, insulation level, conductor, span limits 1
foundations, anchoring, and right-of-way requirements of the con-
ceptual design. A copy of these computations are in Appendix A.
The line voltage of 115 kV 1 used in this study, was recommended
by the Corps of Engineers 1 report and Stone & Webster.
Salt spray contamination may be possible near the end of Kachemak
Bay. Therefore 1 additional suspension insulators (10 units for tan-
gent and 12 units for deadends) have been assumed.
The conductor chosen in the Corps of Engineers 1 report was 556.5
kern ACSR 11 Dove 11 which will be used in this report. An actual
conductor/structure study should be performed during the design
stage of the Bradley Lake Project to determine the actual conductor
that is cost effective for the system.
The following characteristics apply to the conductor chosen for this
study:

Utilizing an in-house computer system, sag/tensions were prepared
on the above conductor. The program computes the sag and ten-
sions using the Alcoa Graphic Method and Alcoa wire character-
istics. The output data and input data is summarized in Appendix
A with the first sheet being the input data for various loading
conditions and the conductor characteristics required for operation
of the program. The following loadings were computed for the

The maximum operating temperature that was used for this study is

The tension controls were input as a percent of the conductor rated
strength. The controls used and their source are:

Extreme Wind 70 Initial NESC/REA
Extreme Ice 70 Initial REA/Engineer
Minimum Temp. 20 Final Engineer
QOF Unloaded 33.3 Initial REA
QOF Unloaded 25 Initial REA

Additionally, the sag runs were checked for creep condition at 60°F.
Sag/tension runs were made for ruling spans beginning at 600 feet
through 1,500 feet at 100 feet intervals. The controlling tension
was 4,240 lbs. at -20°F, final, for ruling spans from 600 feet
through 1,100 feet and 9,540 lbs. at NESC Heavy Loading, initial,
for ruling spans 1,200 feet through 1,500 feet.
Span limits were determined based on the sag and tension runs
prepared from the above calculations. The span limit calculations
assumed level ground and maintaining 24 feet ground clearance.
This ground clearance corresponds to the required clearance for 115
kV over land that may be traversed by vehicles.
Based on the above data and assumptions, the maximum span for
various ruling spans were calculated and a copy of these calcula-
tions and results are in Appendix A.
Span limits were also determined by assuming that the maximum
moment at the groundline of the structure produces the maximum
bending stress in the poles. The groundline moment was deter-
mined for both N ESC Heavy Loading and N ESC Extreme Wind
Loading acting on the structure and on the supported conductors.
The structure type chosen for the study is the REA TH -10, without
the shield wire assembly (TH-10S). This structure has proven to
be an economical and reliable unit for the existing transmission lines
in the Kenai Peninsula for more than 20 years and even survived
some large earthquakes with minimal damage.
The structure calculations were performed only on a tangent struc-
ture only with the following criteria used:
Transverse Overload Capacity Factor
NESC REA USED
0 Heavy Load 4.0 4.0 4.0
0 Extreme Wind 1. 0 1. 5 1 . 1
-13 -
A copy of these calculations is in Appendix A.
Span limits due to phase separation of the TH -1 OS configuration and
a 1,000 1 ruling span were determined and checked against the span
limits due to sag and due to pole strengths computed above. The
controlling span limit was used for estimating a base pole height
and class to be used for this cost study.
Direct embedded wood pole structures are assumed for this study
with the following conservative criteria:
0
0

Line Section 1
Surface rock assumed.
10% of pole height + 2 feet.
Line Section 2
Poor soil assumed.
10% of pole height + 6 feet with gravel backfill and bearing
plates.
Line Section 3
Poor soi I assumed.
10% of pole height + 6 feet with gravel backfill and bearing
plates.
A method of determining the approximate embedment depth verses
the pole load is shown in Appendix A and reflects very conserva-
tive assumptions made for all of the line sections. These assump-
tions were made due to the absence of any soil borings and during
the design stage, this should be studied.
A cursory classification of anchor types was performed for the line
sections by utilizing the soil probe readings and A.B. Chance•s
Encyclopedia of Anchoring. A table summarizing the soil probes
and the type of anchoring along the alignment is in Appendix A.
The criteria used to calculate the necessary right-of-way widths are
the following:

tions, the unit cost estimate will be based on the following design

4. Construction Techniques
There are several possible construction techniques that could be
used for this line and no two contractors will probably pick the
same ones. However, in order to estimate the cost of construction
for this report, it is necessary to make a selection of construction
techniques.
It is assumed that Section 1 will require helicopter construction be-
cause of the difficult access and terrain. Section 2, across the
river valley, can be worked with conventional track type equip-
ment. The last section is also assumed workable for track type
equipment plus some rubber tired equipment. Because of the prox-
imity to the City of Homer and the possibility of a construction
camp for the dam activities, a separate line construction camp has
not been assumed.
5. Cost Estimate
The cost data for materials was compiled from 1983 manufacturers
suggested cost, F. 0. B. Homer, Alaska. The labor rates were
arrived at by using past and present construction contracts.
In addition to the summarized conceptual design, the following items
were estimated as installed in this study:
0
0
0
One damper/phase/span
Bearing plates
X-Bracing
The route itself was broken into three sections throughout this re-
port, therefore the cost estimate will use a similar method. A com-
plete unit cost breakdown is included in Appendix C and the unit
drawings are in Appendix B. The following summarizes the cost
estimates:

B. SOLDOTNA TO ANCHORAGE
The Soldotna to Anchorage line investigation in this report is limited to
an office review only.
1. General Routing
Based on map review and local knowledge, two routes are selected
for this line (see Plate 2), Route 1, around Turnagain Arm, follows
the existing 115 kV line and it is assumed that a parallel right-of-
way would be used for the 230 kV line. Route 2 is proposed to
follow the natural gas line across the Kenai National Moose Range to
Chickaloon Bay and then use submarine cable under Turnagain
Arm. The submarine cable route is east of the gas line in order to
reduce the required cable length. The cable is proposed to emerge
near Potter and then somehow get to University Substation.
2. Geology, Conceptual Design, and Construction Techniques
There is no effort to investigate geology, conceptual design, and
construction techniques along the alignments for Soldotna to
Anchorage. The in-office review of these alignments rely on fam-
iliarity of the area and our attempted comparison with previous con-
struction projects. This approach does not allow for an in-depth
investigation of possible fatal flaws. Therefore, if a Soldotna to
Anchorage intertie is considered viable to the Bradley Lake Project,
these items should be studied in more depth.
-18 -
3. Cost Estimate
The following cost estimate is based completely on the Tabulation of
Construction Bids in Section IV. The method used here is to select
projects with similar construction conditions and then to use judg-
ment for a reasonable cost per mile for a particular section. This
method is not expected to be very accurate, but it should develop a
good 11 ballpark 11 estimate.
References in the following writeup to various construction projects
can be found in Section IV.

The proposed transmission line would connect the Soldotna Substa-
tion and the University Substation. The routing would parallel the
existing 115 kV line around Turnagain Arm. This cost estimate is
divided into three types of construction to match the terrain.
The first segment, approximately 30 miles, is through the Flat
Moose Range country of the Kenai Peninsula, from Soldotna Substa-
tion to Jean Lake. For this segment tracked type equipment is
assumed suitable. Project 16 (CEA Pt. McKenzie to Susitna basin,
1982), recently completed near Anchorage, is representative of this
type of construction, however, the prices for Project 16 were ex-
ceptionally good. This proposed segment is more remote and esti-
mated to be somewhat higher at $220,000/mile.
-19 -
The second segment traverses the mountains of the Kenai Peninsula
up to Ingram Creek, a distance of approximately 60 miles. This
segment is mountainous and access will be difficult in many places.
The Tyee line, Project 13, is somewhat representative of this seg-
ment if upgraded to 230 kV. Estimated cost is $300,000/mile.
The third segment from Ingram Creek to Girdwood, approximately
14 miles, is similar to the first segment. Therefore, $220,000/mile
is assumed.
The fourth segment from Girdwood to Indian Creek is approximately
13 miles and especially difficult because of snow avalanche prob-
lems. Reliability of this portion of the existing 115 kV line has
been poor. Access to this segment will be good and it is close to
Anchorage. However, construction will probably be along the edge
of the water of Turnagain outside the existing transmission line.
The double circuit 230 kV, Project 15 (CEA Fritz Creek to Univer-
sity Substation, 1981), is most representative at $370, 000/mile with-
out terrain problems.
$450,000/mile.
The estimated cost for this segment is
The last segment from Indian Creek to University Substation will
follow the existing line through Chugach State Park. This segment
is 17 miles long, and because of the state park, we assume addi-
tional right-of-way would be impossible. Therefore, it is assumed
that the existing circuit will have to be changed to a double circuit
line. The estimated cost is $380, 000/mile. This line is comparable
to Project 15, but could probably be designed for longer spans due
to the topography.
Based on the above estimates, the construction and material costs
for a 134 mile 230 kV line from Soldotna to Anchorage would be
$40,000,000. Associated costs are assumed to be similar to the
Bradley Lake line, similar percentages will be used for this line
except for a larger contingency. They are:

The first segment from Soldotna to Chickaloon Bay crosses the
Kenai National Moose Range and is essentially the same as the first
section of Route 1 above. The estimate of $220,000/mile will be
used for this 56-mile segment.
The second segment consists of a S-mile submarine crossing of
Turnagain Arm. It is proposed to use 4 single phase conductors
for one circuit with a single conductor spare. The cost estimate
for this work is very preliminary. Based on the 230 kV cable job
for CEA, the estimated costs for this segment are: cable (material
only) $2,500,000/mife, termination stations -$3,000,000/each,
labor -$2,000,000/mile. Therefore, the S-mile segment is estimated
to cost $28,500,000.

The third segment from Potter to University Substation, approxi-
mately 12 miles, will have significant right-of-way problems. For
this estimate, we have assumed a route along the Chugach foothills
with a cost of $300,000/mile.
Based on the above estimates, the labor and material costs for a 73-
mile 230 kV line from Soldotna to Anchorage would be $44,400,000.

IV. HISTORICAL REVIEW
IV. HISTORICAL REVIEW
A. BRIEF SUMMARY OF EXISTING REPORTS
The following section presents a brief summary of recent reports by the
Corps of Engineers, Ebasco, R. W. Beck, and Gilbert/Commonwealth.
Information for the transmission facilities only have been extracted from
these reports and summarized. The cost listings do not include right-
of-way or substation costs.
1. U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers
Several reports on the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project have
been published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the latest
being the 11 General Design Memorandum No. 2 11 dated February 1982.
This document presents the recommended plans for the development
of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project with environmental con-
siderations 1 views of interested parties 1 and cost estimates.
With respect to the transmission faci I ities; a route has been sel-
ected, aerial surveyed, and a topographic map prepared. The
transmission line, approximately 19 miles in length, will link the
powerhouse switchyard with Homer Electric 1 s 115 kV line to Soldotna.
The report recommends a line voltage of 115 kV and a 556.6 KCM
ACSR (Dove) conductor. Suggested support structures are wood
H-frame type having a nominal height of 60 feet. Except for the
river crossings, construction should not pose any difficulties,
however, for a portion of the line, access will only be possible by
helicopter and by all-terrain vehicles along the right-of-way. The
project cost estimate does not provide a breakdown of the transmis-
-23 -
sian line items, but includes the line as part of the powerplant.
Assuming a length of 19 miles from the swltchyard to Homer Elec-
tric1s substation, the Corps of Engineers 1 cost estimate for the line
was $4,276,000, including 15% for contingencies, as of October 1981.
2. Ebasco Services
Based on the findings and recommendations of the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers 1 Design Memorandum, the Alaska Power Authority re-
quested Ebasco Services, Inc. to prepare an independent cost esti-
mate for the Bradley Lake Project using quantities and data pro-
vided by the Corps of Engineers. Assuming a 19-mile long 115 kV
single circuit transmission line on wood pole H-frame structures
including six steel poles for special crossings, Ebasco estimated the
cost of these transmission facilities to be $3,782,000. A 15% con-
tingency was added to the total project construction cost. Assum-
ing that the applicable contingency for the transmission facilities
was also 15%, the total line cost estimate becomes $4,350 1 000 in
November 1981 dollars.
In addition, Ebasco was asked to prepare an estimate for a 115/138
kV transmission line intertie from Homer to Anchorage via Soldotna.
The 138 kV line from Soldotna to Anchorage, consisting of 60 miles
of single wood poles and 5 miles of steel towers for special cross-
ings, was estimated to cost $20,628,000 which includes 20% for con-
tingencies. This estimate assumed a 5-mile long submarine cable
crossing of Turnagain Arm at a cost of $11,791,000. Including
$3,600,000 for right-of-way clearing, the total estimated cost for
this 138 kV line from Soldotna to Anchorage was $32,419,000.
Subsequently 1 Ebasco was requested to submit an amended cost
estimate for the project which included quantity changes as per the
Corps of Engineers document titled 11 Construction Cost Estimate 11
and dated January 15 1 1982. No change was made to the cost of
the transmission facilities in Ebasco 1 s amended estimate dated
February 24, 1982.

3. R. W. Beck and Associates
In March of 1982, the Power Authority requested R. W. Beck and
Associates, Inc. to review the studies completed to date and to
analyze the economic viability of the Bradley Lake Project taking
into consideration the possible development of major hydroelectric
sites in the Railbelt area.
Eight alternative generation and transmission plans were developed
and an economic analysis performed on each using the Authority's
50 year economic analysis parameters. Transmission costs were
proportionally allocated to the user utilities, based on their histor-
ical peak and energy requirements. The report, dated June 1982,
recommended that the project be developed at a capacity of 135 MW
as part of the Rail belt resource plan.
In addition to the foregoing, R. W. Beck was requested and auth-
orized on July 30, 1982 to review the construction procedures and
schedule on the project. Several alternative designs and schedule
revisions were suggested and a revised estimate prepared. At the
Authority's request, the Bradley Lake transmission line cost was
estimated assuming a double circuit 115 kV line rather than the
single circuit line considered previously. Beck's estimate for the
double circuit line was $7,515,000 at September 1982.
A supplemental report prepared by R. W. Beck, dated December
1982, analyzed the economic feasibility of the Bradley Lake project
assuming reduced load requirements for the Kenai Peninsula and the
Railbelt. The report continues to recommend the development of
the project but suggests that further studies be performed to
determine the capacity of the Bradley Lake Project based on the
reduced loads forecast.
-25 -
4. Gilbert/Commonwealth
In October of 1982, Homer Electric Association contracted Gilbert/
Commonwealth to investigate the feasibility of constructing a new
transmission line between the Soldotna and Fritz Creek substations.
Their recommendation was to build the line at 115 kV if Bradley
Lake is designed for 90 MW or less. Their findings show that the
115 kV plan (1 B) may not be acceptable if the Hydro Plant is de-
signed to produce 135 MW and the Bradley-Soldotna circuit is out of
service. A line voltage of 230 kV or a third 115 kV line may be
needed.
The cost estimate they used for the project was $18,492,000. This
is $293,500 per mile, including right-of-way, clearing, engineering,
owner•s cost, and a 20% contingency. Their estimate for labor and
material only was $112,900 per mile.
B. SUMMARY OF CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
1. Review of 115, 138, 230 and 345 kV Costs
The following review is to generalize the tabulated costs into a
rough approximation of transmission line construction costs in
Alaska. These costs should not be considered sacred, there are
many factors which go into the construction cost of any transmis-
sion line. There are many indeterminable variables which can
significantly impact the cost of line construction. Work load of the
contractors at the time of bidding can be very important to the cost
and its impact is almost impossible to judge, especially in an histor-
ical review. For this and several other reasons, this review will
only develop some 11 ballpark11 costs from the historical data.
-26 -
The table is a tabulation of construction cost/mile of transmission
projects throughout the State of Alaska over the past 9 years. The
list does not include all transmission projects, it is simply a listing
of those available. The 11 cost per mile 11 is based on the apparent
low bidder at the time the project was bid. The cost per mile in-
cludes all labor and material and does not include: clearing, engi-
neering, construction management, right-of-way and owner•s cost
(except owner furnished material).
The next to the last column shows the multiplier which was used to
bring each project up to 1983. An arbitrary escalation value of 8%
per year is assumed.
The projects are grouped by voltage and similar construction con-
ditions. The following discussion is an attempt to develop a rea-
sonable explanation for the cost differences. This explanation is
very arbitrary and is only presented as one opinion.
115 kV
Projects 1 through 3 are all from the Matanuska Electric and are
generally post insulator construction on a single wood pole. Access
is very good and terrain is flat.
Projects 4 and 5 are suspension insulator 1 H -frame type structures
located in more hilly terrain and with more difficult access. Con-
ventional road type line equipment and proximity to Anchorage
helps to maintain an average cost for these projects at $80 1 000+/
mile.
Project 6 was constructed in extremely difficult terrain and access.
138 kV
Projects 7 through 10 are all suspension insulator type construction
in fairly accessible locations and reasonably flat terrain. In addi-
-27 -
tion, these projects are close to the major cities of Anchorage and
Fairbanks. Even though one project used helicopters, the costs are
all reasonably close. Average cost is $120,000/mile.
Project 11 and 12 are for suspension insulator type construction
located further from the major cities with significant helicopter con-
struction. Also 1 access was generally good, but some of the ter-
rain is very severe. The average cost is $230,000/mile.
Project 13 is a combination of suspension and post insulator design
with extremes in access and terrain from good to very difficult.
The cost is $275,000/mile.
Project 14 is a suspension insulator type on a single shaft steel
towers. Terrain and access are very difficult. In addition 1 the
location on Kodiak Island probably contributes to the $600,000/mile
cost.
230 kV
Project 15 is the only double circuit line on this review. The steel
towers are single shaft supporting suspension insulators. Access
and terrain were very good with close proximity to Anchorage.
Cost is $180 1 000+/mile per circuit.
Project 16 represents a recent helicopter construction job close to
Anchorage. Terrain and access were very good. Cost is $160,000/
mile.
345 kV
Projects 17 and 18 include larger structures than any other job.
Terrain is generally good with a few exceptions. Access is remote,
but parallel to some existing corridors. Proximity to Anchorage and
the large size of the project probably contribute to the $350,000/
mile cost.
-28 -
Following is a generalization of the reviewed projects. This sum-
mary is a definite oversimplification of construction costs as they
relate to voltage and conditions, but is intended to provide some
ballpark costs.

2. Cost Comparison
The cost estimate for the Bradley Lake line is based on a detailed
unit breakdown presented in Appendix C. This section will use the
same cost estimating method used for the Soldotna to Anchorage
line, namely a cost per mile based on similar projects, to develop a
check on our other estimate. The following analysis is for the cost
labor and material only, no clearing or associated costs is included
in the tabulation.

Direct Burial -Depth of Burial Varies With Soil
Conditions.
This estimate is based on three different types of construction dic-
tated by the terrain and access.
The first segment, approximately 6 miles, starting at the power-
house will traverse heavily forested terrain with difficult access. It
is assumed helicopter construction of direct buried poles will be
used. There is considerable rock close to the surface which will
require blasting for structure installation. This segment is similar
to the Tyee Lake, Project 13, and the Glennallen end of the Glenn-
allen Line, Project 11. The per mile cost for these projects was
$275,000 and $153,000 respectively. A cost of $200,000/mile is esti-
mated for this segment.
The second segment, approximately 3 miles, consists of crossing the
east end of Kachemak Bay. Since the area rarely floods, it is
assumed conventional track type equipment and construction tech-
-34 -
niques will be satisfactory. Direct buried wooden poles will be
used through this silty sandy soil, but burial depth is assumed in-
creased. In addition, access will be somewhat impeded by the river
crossings. This segment is similar to the Teeland to Willow line,
Project 5, except the location is remote instead of adjacent to a
major city. A cost of $120,000/mile is estimated for this segment.
The third segment, about 10 miles long, traverses the flat terrain
above Kachemak Bay to the proposed Homer Electric line. The ter-
rain is moderately timbered and accessible with track equipment
from existing roads. Direct buried wooden poles will be used
through the sandy silty soil. Projects 5, 7, 8 and 9 are all repre-
sentative of this type of construction. The estimated cost for this
segment is $120,000/mile.
Based on these estimates, the labor and material costs for the 19
miles of Bradley Lake line would be $2,760,000. This compares with
$2,478,000 from the detailed cost estimate.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This report presents results of instream flow studies conducted in
support of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project feasibility study.
Studies were performed by Woodward-Clyde Consultants as subcontractor
to Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation for the Alaska Power
Authority. The purpose of this work was to recommend a month-by-month
flow regime that will support salmon spawning and rearing in the lower
reaches of the Bradley River. The Woodward-Clyde study supplements
the previous assessment of the Bradley River conducted by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in 1979, and 1980 (USFWS, 1982).
FLOW RECOMMENDATION
The instream flow studies were designed to provide an estimate of
streamflows required to maintain salmon production in the lower
Bradley River. Woodward-Clyde Consultants combined the information
gained from incremental analysis of habitat with seasonal
distribution and habitat utilization data for targeted species,
streamflow estimates for present and project conditions, and potential
changes in salinity and water temperature regimes to formulate a
proposed flow regime for the lower Bradley River. (Table 1). In the
lower Bradley River, the concern is to provide habitat for anadromous
fish, particularly pink, chum, and coho salmon. Habitat requirements
vary with season of the year, fish species, and life history stage.
The proposed recommendation reflects the habitat requirements of the
most sensitive (or limiting) life stage in the system by month. The
Bradley River presently provides limited habitat for these species;
some habitat will be lost under project operation, but there is an

opportunity for utilization of replacement habitat that would become
available if appropriate streamflows are provided.
Adult salmon return to spawn in mid-July through August. The fish
hold briefly in fresh water and then move onto their spawning grounds.
Spawning activity may extend through mid-September. The embryos
incubate in the streambed gravels through the fall and hatch in
mid-winter. The alevins remain in the gravels until they emerge in
April or May. After emergence, fry move to nursery areas (fresh or
salt water depending on species) for rearing. Pink salmon fry
outmigrate from the river almost immediately upon emergence. Chum
salmon fry remain briefly in fresh water (less than 2 months) and then
migrate to estuarine habitats. Coho salmon juveniles remain in fresh
water habitats for two years. Thus, flows must be provided throughout
the year, not only to allow for spawning activity, but also for
successful incubation, rearing, and outmigration of the progeny.
The flow recommendation focused on providing habitat for pink salmon
production in the lower Bradley River. Pink salmon appear to have the
best potential for production under project operation. A small
population of pink salmon is presently spawning in mainstem habitats
between river mile 4.6 and 5.2. A major limiting factor appears to be
the lack of incubation success due to dewatering and sedimentation.
An analysis of the effectiveness of spawning habitat as a function of
spawning and incubation flows indicates an opportunity to improve
production in pink salmon spawning areas in the lower Bradley River.
Habitat requirements of chum and coho salmon were assigned a lower
priority than habitat requirements of pink salmon. Few conflicts
existed between pink and chum salmon. Chum salmon habitat encompasses
a wider range of depths and velocities than pink salmon. The values
of physical habitat characteristics (depth, velocity, and substrate)
used by pink salmon are also acceptable to chum salmon (Refer
Appendix A). In the Bradley River, chum salmon spawning habitat
appears to be associated with upwelling intragravel flow or strong
subsurface flow. The dependence of chum salmon on upwelling may be
3
limiting habitat availability under present conditions and would
probably continue to limit it under project operation. Although
upwelling areas have not been systematically located in the Bradley
River, casual field observations of drainage patterns and present fish
distribution indicate that few upwelling areas exist. There is
probably little opportunity to provide replacement habitat by
regulating streamflow.
Rearing habitat for young coho salmon was also considered secondarily
in the proposed flow regime. Most of the habitat utilization is in
sloughs and tributaries in the lower portion of the drainage. Many of
these areas will likely be only slightly affected by project operation.
Coho salmon do not appear to be using available rearing areas in the
mainstem under present conditions. Therefore, it appears unlikely
that coho salmon production would be affected by altered habitat
availability in the mainstem.
The evaluation of effective spawning habitat values provided the basis
for the selection of spawning and incubation flows. Table 2 presents
weighted useable area (WUA) values for effective spawning habitat
under the range of flows considered for project operation. Spawning
habitat at flows of 100 to 150 cfs was analyzed at incubation flows of
30 to 50 cfs. Very little difference exists between WUA values of
effective spawning habitat at these flows. WUA values for effective
spawning habitat under project operation are higher than those
presently available in the system. Therefore, the long-term gain by
the fishery would be quite similar at any of these flows.
Another consideration in selecting flows is the efficiency of the flow
in providing habitat. By expressing WUA as a percentage of gross
area, we can estimate the habitat efficiency of the flow. The
efficiency of the flow to provide acceptable spawning and incubation
habitat does not change significantly from one flow to the next. The
efficiency of winter flows for incubation is high. It is apparent
from a comparison of habitat values between spawning and incubation

that spawning habitat is the limiting factor. Large substrates
present in the thalweg will probably limiting spawning habitat
availability under project operation.
The percentage of original spawning habitat maintained by the incuba-
tion flow are high as indicated by the last column on Table 2. In all
of the combinations under consideration, over 90 percent of the
spawning habitat was maintained by the incubation flows.
Other physical characteristics of the basin which influence habitat
conditions were also considered. Summer water temperatures may be
cooler under project operations. North Fork flows will be augmented
by releases from the reservoir. During August, the North Fork is
expected to provide 53 cfs. Additional flow would come from the
reservoir. Water temperatures of reservoir releases at the outlet are
expected to be between 4-6°C. Water in North Fork is expected to be
warmer than the reservoir release. Water temperatures at Tree Bar
would be decreased as the quantity of water released from the
reservoir increases. In order to ~educe the magnitude of temperature
decreases, a lower spawning flow was selected. At 100 cf s, half of
the water would come from the reservoir and half would be contributed
from unregulated sources, principally the North Fork. Spawning flows
would be required in late July through mid-September.
From mid-September through October, juvenile fish move into
overwintering habitats. Flows of about 50 cfs should provide these
fish adequate passage to overwintering habitat. A flow of 50 cfs
would also be sufficient to maintain incubation of salmon embryos.
From November through mid-April, the embryos developing in the gravels
are in their most important life stage. An incubation flow of 40 cfs
was selected to maintain spawning habitat that is available at
100 cfs. An incubation flow of 40 cfs will maintain almost all (90%)
of the spawning habitat currently available. In addition, present
winter habitat conditions would be unchanged since the spawning flow
would not permit further intrusion of salt water into the system.

In June and early July, flow requirements for
juvenile fish are the limiting factor as adults have not yet returned
but juvenile fish are moving into summer feeding areas. Flow of about
100 cfs should be sufficient to accommodate this need.

THE BRADLEY LAKE
HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA
The Bradley Lake project area lies at the head of Kachemak Bay, and is
about 27 air miles northeast of Homer, Alaska (Figure 1). Bradley
Lake is located about five
elevation of about 1080 ft.
air miles east of Kachemak Bay at an
The Bradley River flows from the lake
through a steep, narrow canyon for most of its 10-mile length before
reaching the tidal flats of the bay. The surrounding mountain slopes
are generally covered with mature spruce/hemlock forest with sub
alpine shrub thickets at upper elevations.
The lower reach of the Bradley River emerges from the canyon and
crosses extensive tidal flats, which consist mostly of sedge/ grass
meadows, and mud flats. These tidal flats extend to the northwest
across the head of Kachemak Bay where two major drainages, the Fox
River, and Sheep Creek enter the bay.
The steep gradient of the Bradley River floodplain limits fish to the
lower reach. Upstream movement of fish beyond mile 5.9 is prevented
by a waterfall. In the lower reach the Bradley is a single channel,
meandering stream, with moderate slope, and supports spawning by
anadromous fish, primarily pink salmon and Dolly Varden. Other fauna
commonly occurring within the project area include moose, bear,
mountain goats, geese, ducks, and shorebirds.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED PROJECT
The Bradley Lake Project, as currently being reviewed, consists of the
transfer of water from the lake through a tunnel to an above-ground
powerhouse at tidewater on Kachemak Bay. A dam is proposed at the
outlet of Bradley Lake to increase lake storage capacity. In
addition, during May through October a tributary to the Bradley
River--the Middle Fork drainage--will be diverted to the impoundment.
Other project facilities to be constructed near tidewater along
Kachemak Bay include a barge basin, construction camp, airstrip,
powerhouse, tailrace, Martin River borrow pit, access roads, and
transmission lines.
When completed the proposed dam would raise normal lake levels about
100 feet to an elevation of 1,180 ft, creating a 3,820-acte reservoir.
Some flow will be released to the Bradley River throughout the year to
maintain fish habitat in the lower reach of the river.
From the powerhouse an unlined tailrace would be constructed into the
tidal flats, where discharge waters would flow to Kachemak Bay. The
transmission lines would run from the powerhouse across the head of
the Bay and the Fox River valley, to intersect with an existing
transmission line.
Primary access during construction and operation would be by water to
the barge basin to be located near Sheep Point on Kachemak Bay, and by
aircraft to the airstrip or helicopter pads. The airstrip will be
constructed north of the powerhouse. On the flats along Kachemak Bay
gravel access roads will connect all tidewater facilities, and the dam
site.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
Environmental aspects of all phases of the originally proposed Bradley
Lake Project were assessed by the USFWS during their 1979 and 1980
10
studies (USFWS, 1982). The USFWS concluded that there were several
issues where the available information did not allow accurate
conclusions to be drawn regarding total project impacts:
1) Adequacy of flow regimes to support instream flow require-
ments of spawning anadromous fish in the lower Bradley
River;
2) Development of gravel mining and rehabilitation plans
for the Martin River borrow site;
3) Development of a plan to establish waterfowl nesting and
feeding habitat in the selected dredge spoil site;
4) Assessment of moose utilization of the area above Bradley
Lake; and
5) Assessment of vegetation and general fish and wildlife
resources along the transmission route.
Prior to commencement of the Phase I study of the Bradley Project, the
APA reviewed the list of anticipated environmental deficiencies and
concluded that it was most important that the instream flow require-
ments be evaluated during Phase I, so realistic project feasibility
could be established.
future study phases.
Remaining issues would be dealt with during
In designing an appropriate study to meet the needs of the Bradley
project in establishing instream flow requirements, it was concluded
that several questions had to be answered before estimates of
necessary flow regimes could be prepared. The most important of these
were the following:
1) Does any mainstem spawning occur in the river?
11
(2) Would reduced flows cause salt water intrusion to progress
further upstream and potentially affect spawning and rearing
habitat?
(3) Would reduced river flows produce stream channel profile
characteristics that provide fish spawning habitat?
To answer these questions, Woodward-Clyde designed a study program to
establish instream flow requirements for maintainance of anadromous
fish spawning and rearing in the lower reach of the river under
project operating conditions. Available instream flow assessment
methods were reviewed and the instream flow incremental methodology
(IFIM), developed by the USFWS Instream Flow Group, was selected for
this purpose. A complete description of how IFIM was applied in this
program was presented in the Woodward-Clyde Bradley Lake Study Plan
(Wood~ard-Clyde Consultants 1983). A description of field techniques
for fish and hydrology data collection and analysis is presented in an
appendix to this report.
SCOPE AND STRUCTURE OF THIS STUDY
The incremental method has been most widely used to describe the
effects of streamflow alterations on riverine fish habitat. It is
based on the hypothesis that the quality and quantity of the physical
habitat for a specified species/life history stage is determined by
streamflow. Application of the incremental method is accomplished
through several steps:
(1) A scoping process to develop the framework of the analysis
and identify components of the study.
(2) River segmentation and study site selection.
(3) Field data collection of physical and biological components.
(4) Physical habitat simulation and determination of habitat
availability.
12
(5) Interpretation of modeling results.
(6) Recommendation of a flow regime.
Scoping Process
Application of IFIM begins with a five-step scoping process which
establishes the objectives and the analytical framework of the study
(Bovee 1982). Since the Bradley River instream flow study was
conducted to support permitting and licensing of the proposed
development, resource agency involvement was essential.
An interagency meeting attended by the Alaska Power Authority (project
sponsor), state and federal resource agencies, and project consultants
was held on April 15, 1983 to discuss the instream flow studies. The
general scope and focus of the study were established and the
components of the study were identified (Stone and Webster Engineering
Corporation 1983):
Study Objective. For the Bradley Lake instream flow assessment
the objective was to evaluate habitat as a function of flow in order
to recommend a flow regime that will provide acceptable levels of
habitat quality and quantity under post-project conditions. The
Bradley River has a low fish productivity that is probably the result
of large variation in flows between spawning and incubation periods.
Stabilizing the flow regime may improve salmonid production in the
system (USFWS 1982). Since most of the areas presently utilized by
salmon are located on the lateral margins and peripheral areas such as
backwaters and sloughs, project flows most likely will dewater much of
the existing habitat. However, under the lower flow regime, replace-
ment habitats may be available in mainstem areas.
Geographic Area. The extent of the study area was established as
that portion of the Bradley River between river mile (RM) 5. 9 and
RM 2.9 (Figure 2). This segment encompasses most of the fish activity
that occurs within the Bradley River. A barrier to upstream migration

by anadromous fish occurs at RM 5.9. No fish exist upstream of this
barrier. A tributary, Fox Farm Creek, that enters the river at
RM 2.9, is probably the downstream extent of spawning habitat in the
Bradley River drainage. Within the mainstem Bradley River the high
percentage of fine particles in the substrate probably precludes
spawning below RM 3.7 (USFWS 1982). Mainstem habitats below RM 3.7 are
probably used by salmonids only as a migration corridor.
Although data were collected between RM 5.9 and 2.9, the hydrology and
fish components of the study focused on the reach of river from RM 5.4
to RM 4. 3 because this area presently provides the most important
habitat and has the greatest potential for replacement habitat under
post-project conditions.
Analytical Framework. The analytical framework of the study was
also addressed in the scoping proceds. Streamflow is the most
significant variable influencing fish habitat. Therefore, the
analysis centered on flow. During ~roject operation, the lower
Bradley River will experience decreased streamflows throughout the
year. Most of the flow in the lower Bradley River under project
operation will come from the North Fork of the Bradley River. For the
mainstem of the river, the analysis focused on the changes in
hydraulic conditions and availability of suitable substrates with
changes in streamflow. Numerical models (IFG-2 and IFG-4) were used
to simulate the distribution of depth and velocity at different
discharges. The output from these models was used in conjunction with
the HABTAT model to predict the physical habitat available with
incremental changes in streamflow.
The project also could alter other habitat components such as thermal
regime, sediment transport, and seawater intrusion. Data for each
component were analyzed to estimate the change likely to occur, and to
determine if that change would have a significant effect on fish
production in the lower Bradley River.
15
Evaluation Species. Selection of the evaluation species is
integral to the analysis as different species have different habitat
requirements, which could result in conflicting optimum flow
conditions. Presently the Bradley River provides limited habitat for
pink, chum, and coho salmon.
have potential for using
These three species probably also would
replacement habitat available under a
post-project scenario, hence they were chosen as evaluation species.
Sockeye and chinook salmon were not selected as evaluation species.
Although adults of both species have been observed in the Bradley
River, no evidence of reproducing populations were found by this study
or USFWS (1982).
Life history stages and attributes of microhabitat for evaluation
species were examined. Data were collected on depth, velocity, and
substrate for spawning pink, and chum salmon; depth and velocity for
pink and chum salmon incubation; and depth, velocity, and cover for
juvenile coho salmon.
Study Site Selection
Study site selection was conducted as a continuation of the scoping
process. Alaska Power Authority, Alaska Department of Fish and Game
(ADF&G) and USFWS staff reviewed selected study sites in the field.
There are two approaches to study site selection --critical reach and
representative reach (Trihey and Wegner 1981). Under the critical
reach concept, study sites are selected on the basis that some
physical or chemical characteristic of the reach is limiting the
fishery resource. The critical reach concept requires an extensive
knowledge of the stream's hydrology and channel geometry in addition
to species-specific life history requirements. The representative
reach approach reflects recognition of the importance of the structure
and form of the entire stream in sustaining fish populations. The
characteristics of the watershed and the resulting instream hydraulic
and water chemistry conditions establish the limits of the species
16
distribution. The representative reach concept is particularly
appropriate when only limited life history information is available
and critical habitat conditions cannot be identified with any degree
of certainty.
Following a review of existing conditions, both critical and
representative study areas were selected. These areas were selected
to provide pertinent biologic and hydraulic information to address
questions regarding habitat availability under project flows. A
second criterion applied to the representative study reaches is that
they had to reflect the range of physical conditions present in that
segment of river.
A total of seven different areas were selected for detailed habitat
study (Figure 3). They can be divided into two types of study sites:
habitat simulation for mitigation studies and habitat quantification
for impact assessment.
Three study reaches were established for habitat simulation using the
IFIM computer models. Two of these are representative reaches,
selected to describe habitat availability in the river segments from
RM 5.3 to 4.9 and RM 4.5 to 3.9. The third habitat simulation study
area is a critical reach, established near RM 4. 7 to evaluate its
potential to provide replacement spawning habitat under post-project
conditions.
Four additional sites were established for impact assessment in slough
and tributary habitats. A study site was established at Bear Island
Slough to evaluate spawning and rearing habitat potentially dewatered
under project operation. Two study sites were established at RM 3.5
and 3.8 to evaluate rearing habitat in backwater areas as a function
of mainstem discharges. A study site was located at the mouth of Fox
Farm Creek (RM 2. 9) to address questions concerning the effects of
flow on access to spawning habitat in this tributary.

FISHERY RESOURCES OF THE BRADLEY RIVER
SEASONAL DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE
The Bradley River drainage provides habitat and is utilized to some
extent by all five Pacific salmon that spawn in North America.
However, relative to other Kachemak Bay drainages, the Brdley River is
not believed to be highly productive, and supports known spawning
activity primarily only by pink and chum salmon. Utilization of the
Bradley drainage by other salmon species apparently is mostly for
juvenile rearing of fish spawned in adjacent drainages. Figure 4
presents the known phenology of salmon utilization of the Bradley
River by species and by life history stage.
Pink Salmon
Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) appear to be the most abundant
salmon in the Bradley River. An estimated 1,000 fish were spawning in
the mainstem Bradley River during 1983. An additional 50 were found
spawning in Fox Farm Creek.
Pink salmon have the shortest life cycle of any Pacific salmon. The
two-year life cycle has produced two genetically distinct populations
because one year class is sexually segregated from the next. The two
populations are referred to as odd or even year runs, based on the
year that pink salmon spawn. Fish abundance between odd and even
years varies and one run is consistently larger than the other. In
Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet even year runs are stronger than odd year
runs (ADF&G 1978).

Nov Dec
Pink salmon may spawn from July to September but spawning typically
occurs in August (Morrow 1980). Eggs usually hatch between December
and February, depending on water temperature, with warmer water
accelerating development (Bailey and Evans 1971). Alevin remain
within redd gravels for several weeks. After emergence, fry usually
move downstream at night to estuaries. Fry inhabit nearshore habitat
during their first summer but migrate to deeper waters by September.
They remain there until the following summer, when they return to
their natal streams to spawn.
Pink salmon begin entering the Bradley River in late June or early
July and continue ascending the drainage through August. Peak numbers
of adult fish entered the Bradley River in 1979 as determined by
gillnet catches during late July and early August (USFWS 1982).
In 1983 approximately 100-200 unripe pink sa~mon were found by
electrofishing near or in spawning areas in early August. More pink
salmon, at or near spawning readiness, were detected in dense spawning
groups by electrofishing in late August.
Pink salmon spawn in reaches of the Bradley River containing suitable
spawning habitat from river mile (RM) 4.25 to 5.2. Most fish spawn
within Riffle Reach, RM 4. 7, but smaller areas of suitable spawning
habitat at RM 4.9, 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 support lesser numbers of spawners
(Figure 5).
Approximately 50 pink salmon spawned within Fox Farm Creek during
1983. Pink salmon were not spawning in Fox Farm Creek in early August
1983, but by late August they had moved into spawning areas within Fox
Farm Creek. Spawning was complete by the first week of September.
No intensive pink salmon outmigrant fry sampling has occurred along
the Bradley River. A modified otter trawl placed at RM 4.7 for 4 days
in late April, 1983 did not capture any pink salmon fry. Pink salmon
fry have been encountered within Fox Farm Creek during June of 1979,
and April and May of 1980 (USFWS 1982). No pink salmon fry have been
detected elsewhere within the Bradley River drainage.

Chum Salmon
Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) are not abundant within the Bradley
River. It is estimated that less than 50 fish spawned in the Bradley
River during 1983 (Figure 6).
Chum salmon have a three to five year life cycle. Adults return to
natal streams for spawning after spending two to four years in the
ocean (Morrow 1980). They usually spawn in lower reaches of
relatively short streams, often in tidally influenced areas. Spawning
may occur from August through October in south-central Alaska (ADF&G
1978). Eggs hatch between December and March. Fry may emerge from
redd gravels in April or May. Fry remain in freshwater for a month or
two, unlike pink salmon fry, before migrating downstream to estuaries.
Fry generally vacate estuaries and move into deeper water by October.
Spawning habitat selection by chum salmon is influenced by substrate,
current velocity, water temperature and water depth as well as the
occurrence of upwelling ground water and springs, as summarized by
Hale (1981). The occurrence of springs/groundwater upwelling is a key
factor influencing spawning habitat selection by chum salmon.
Survival of chum salmon eggs and larvae within redds at upwelling
sites is presumably enhanced by a reduced likelihood of freezing
during winter (Sano 1964, Kogl 1965). Survival may also be enhanced
within redds at spring or groundwater upwelling sites by mechanical
removal of fine sediments, which when abundant, can reduce redd gravel
permeability and subsequently smother eggs (McNeil 1966, Rukhlov 1969,
Koski 1975).
The presence of groundwater upwelling or subsurface flow has not been
evaluated in the Bradley River. However, several ripe adult chum
salmon were encountered in Bear Island Slough, along the Bradley River
at RM 4. 9, and the Tree Bar backwater (RM 5. 0) during late August
1983. A small amount of chum salmon spawning probably occurs at those
locations. Each area was noted to have upwelling or to have a good
potential for upwelling. Clear water inflow was noted at Bear Island
Slough and at the Tree Bar backwater.

Age 0 chum salmon were noted in Fox Farm Creek on May 1, 1983, within
Long Slough during June 2, 1983 and one was encountered in Muka Muka
Slough during late August, 1983. Chum salmon fry were not captured in
the trawl facing upstream in late April, 1983. The origin of these
fish is unknown. Chum salmon fry are capable of moving considerable
distances within Kachemak Bay (Tom Schroeder, pers. comm. 1983) and
they were found in an area which is tidally influenced. The fry may
have ridden the tide into the Bradley River. The small number of
spawning chum indicate that little chum salmon production occurs in
the Bradley River.
Sockeye Salmon
Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) enter Cook Inlet drainages from
May through mid-August with spawning occurring from August to November
(ADF&G 1978). Spawning habitat, depending on habitat al7ailability,
includes lake shores, tributaries or sloughs along streams (McPhail
and Lindsey 1970, Bechtel 1983). Although sockeye salmon have been
found in the Bradley River, no spawning has been documented.
Sockeye salmon enter the Bradley River in late June or July and
continue through September (USFWS 1982). Gillnetting efforts at
RM 4. 0 in 1979 and at RM 2. 9 in 1980 indicate that sockeye salmon
enter the drainage in appreciable numbers in late July and early
August and a second smaller peak in abundance occurs later, in August
or September. However, tag and recapture efforts in 1979 suggest
sockeye salmon mill in the Bradley River and eventually enter other
streams, as several tagged fish were encountered elsewhere in Cook
Inlet (Tom Schroeder, pers. comm. 1983).
Few, if any, sockeye salmon spawned in the Bradley River during 1983.
Ten fish, none of which were spent, were encountered in Bear Island
Slough during late August 1983. One sockeye salmon was ripe but dead,
whereas three other fish were alive but in a pre-spawning condition.
On August 28 a ripe sockeye salmon that was dying unspawned was
25
observed. During 1979 several sockeye salmon were suspected to be
spawning in Bear Island Slough, based on fish spawning condition and
recapture data during 1979 (USFWS 1982).
No juvenile sockeye salmon were encountered in the Bradley River
drainage during 1979 and 1980 (USFWS 1982).
Chinook Salmon
Some chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) apparently ascend the
Bradley River. Six adults and eight juveniles were captured during
the entire field season (Figure 7).
Chinook salmon begin migrating upstream to spawning destinations
within Cook Inlet streams as early as May but usually become more
abundant during June and July (ADF&G 1978). Most spawning occurs
during August. Chinook salmon enter and spawn in the Bradley River in
apparently low numbers during July and August (USFWS 1982). Six adult
chinook salmon, in spawning and spent condition, were encountered in
Bear Island Slough during early August, 1983.
Young chinook salmon typically remain in freshwater rearing areas for
about one year prior to smolting and migrating downstream to the sea.
Some Age 0 chinook salmon, apparently in response to high food avail-
ability and subsequent rapid growth, smelt and outmigrate by their
first autumn (Delaney, Hepler, and Roth 1981).
Fish may remain in the Pacific Ocean for one to four years prior to
returning to natal streams to spawn.
Several Age 0 chinook salmon were captured in Cut Off Slough and Eagle
Pool during August, 1983. No other Age 0 or juvenile chinook salmon
were encountered in the Bradley River, except for one precocious male
captured in Bear Island Slough during late August, 1983.

Coho Salmon
Within Cook Inlet drainages coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
typically return to spawning streams from August through October
(ADF&G 1978). Adult coho salmon begin entering the Bradley River in
late July or early August and continue through September 1979, when
sampling ceased (USF\.J'S 1982). Peak numbers of adult coho salmon
entered the Bradley River in 1979 during September.
The only documented coho salmon spawning area within the Bradley River
drainage is Fox Farm Creek (USFWS 1982), where fish spawn in
September.
Eggs usually hatch in early spring and alevin emerge from redd gravels
from March to late July. Water temperatures determine egg development
rates. Young fish may rear within Alaskan freshwaters for one to four
years prior to smolting and entering the sea (Crone and Bond 1976).
Juvenile coho salmon within upper Cook Inlet streams generally
overwinter twice prior to outmigrating as smolts to the sea at age 2+.
Outmigration may commence prior to ice-out in April and continue
through July (Delaney, Hepler and Roth, 1981).
Summer distribution of Age 0 coho salmon within the Bradley River
sampling sites is limited. These fish were found in Fox Farm Creek,
Muka Muka Slough and three upstream sloughs (Figure 8). Based on
catch/ effort by minnow traps, Age 0 coho salmon were most abundant
within Fox Farm Creek and become progressively more scarce in Muka
Muka, Long, Short and Slippery Sloughs. Coho salmon from Fox Farm
Creek may be emigrating to upstream areas.
Movements of Age 0 coho salmon from nearby rivers, such as Sheep Creek
and/or the Fox River, could also account for the presence of Age 0
fish within the lower Bradley River. Salinities in upper Kachemak Bay
during the summer are low. Salinities of 1.5 ppt were measured near
Sheep point in early August. Thus young coho would not encounter
saline water in moving from Sheep Creek to the Bradley River and fish

from Fox River would encounter only very low salinities. These fish
have been captured in estuarine habitats and can apparently tolerate
moderate saline conditions. Tests indicate pre-smolt coho salmon can
survive in salinities of 10 to 15 ppt and higher, especially if they
have access to lower salinity habitat (Otto 1971; Crone and Bond
1976). It is conceivable that ocean-going coho salmon fry from
streams near the Bradley River could successfully rear in the estuary
or migrate up the Bradley River to more suitable rearing areas.
Juvenile coho salmon are found in upstream like Bear Island Slough,
unlike Age 0 coho salmon. However, within sampling locations,
juvenile coho salmon were least abundant in mainstem reaches and
common within Long and Short Sloughs.
Dolly Varden Char
Resident and/or anadromous Dolly Varde1 ... char (Savelinus malma) spawn
and rear within the Bradley River drainage. Although fish spawning
activity, redds or spent Dolly Varden char have not been encountered,
the presence of Age 0 fish within Bear Island Slough and
Fox Farm Creek during August 1983 suggest Dolly Varden char spawn at
these locations. Substrate at each location appears suitable for
Dolly Varden spawning (Blackett 1968). Gravel 0.5 to 3.0 inches in
diameter is present in Bear Island Slough and smaller gravel, 0.25 to
1. 0 in. in diameter, are common within middle reaches of Fox Farm
Creek. Dolly Varden char spawning within the Bradley River probably
occurs in late September or October (Blackett 1968).
Summer distribution of juvenile Dolly Varden within the lower Bradley
River drainage is extensive and fish are especially abundant in Tree
Bar and Bear Island Slough (Figure 9). Juvenile Dolly Varden
consistently dominated the juvenile salmonid catch by minnow traps
and/or fyke nets at Cut Off and Bear Island Sloughs and all mainstem
sample stations during June and August 1983.

IDENTIFICATION OF IMPORTANT HABITAT
Spawning Habitat
Most of the spawning in the Bradley River occurs in the mainstem from
RM 4.6 to 5.2 (Figure 10). An estimated 1000 pink salmon spawned in
this reach. Of the mainstem spawning areas, Riffle Reach supported
the most fish. Approximately 70 percent of mainstem spawning occurred
in this segment.
Fox Farm Creek (RM 2. 9) is also heavily utilized by pink salmon in
1983. Stream surveys showed a peak count of 52 fish in late August.
Most of the spawning activity is concentrated in a small reach located
800 ft upstream of the mouth. Fox Farm creek also provides spawning
habitat for coho salmon (USFWS 1982). Few, if any, coho salmon spawn
elsewhere in the Bradley River drainage as indicated by the lack of
Age 0 coho salmon in the upper reach of the Bradley River where
rearing habitat is relatively abundant.
Other spawning habitats were located in Bear Island Slough. Both chum
and chinook salmon may spawn there. Few individuals of both species
were captured in the slough. Due to substrate composition and
subsurface flow, spawning habitat is probably restricted to a small
portion of the slough in the second pool.
Chum salmon were also found in the mainstem near the Corp of Engineers
wire weight gage station (RM 4. 9) and in the Tree Bar backwater at
RM 5.0. They appeared to be associated with areas with groundwater
upwelling a subsurface flow that may be an important characteristic of
chum salmon spawning habitat.
Even though adult spawners are known to occupy mainstem areas, it is
not known if these spawning habitats provide good incubation success.
Early field trips by Woodward-Clyde Consultants in 1983 and USFWS in
1980 did not find concentrations of fry. The turbidity of the Bradley
River makes visual observation difficult and no sampling effort
specific to fry outmigration has been undertaken.

Age 0 coho salmon were found in Fox Farm Creek indicating
relatively good coho production from that habitat. However, few pink
or chum fry have been found in this area. Since Fox Farm Creek
appears to have suitable conditions for coho production, we presume
that some production of pink salmon is also occurring. The short
residency of pink salmon fry in freshwater make them difficult to
locate when they occur in relatively small numbers.

Summer distribution of juvenile (age 1+ and older) coho salmon within
the Bradley River is more widespread than that of Age 0 fish, although
both age groups are apparently more abundant within selected down-
stream sloughs and tributaries than in upstream slough and mainstem
habitats (Table 3). Maximum catch per unit effort (CPUE) for juvenile
coho salmon taken by baited minnow traps within the various upper
Bradley River sites during June and early and late August never
exceeded 0. 75 fish per 24 hrs. However, maximum CPUE values for
juvenile coho salmon exceeded 2.0 fish per 24 hrs within Long and
Short sloughs during early and late August, 1983.
Age 0 coho salmon are abundant within Fox Farm and Muka Muka Slough,
as evidenced by late August CPUE's of 18.17 and 7.33 fish per 24 hrs,
respectively (Figure 11). Young coho have also been encountered
within some upstream sloughs, including Slippery, Long and Short
sloughs. Fox Farm Creek is the only documented coho salmon spawning
area within the Bradley River and this probably accounts for the high
densities of Age 0 coho salmon captured there.
Dolly Varden were found in all habitats sampled in the Bradley River
system during August but were consistently captured in greatest
numbers at upriver stations, especially Bear Island Slough and Tree
Bar Reach (Table 4). Summer rearing Dolly Varden were consistently
scarce within selected downriver sloughs (Figure 12). They were found
on the river margins with cover or along slow water gravel bars in the
mainstem. Cut Off Slough, Bear Island Slough and Tree Bar Reach had a

catch rate greater than 10 fish per 24 hrs during the early August
field trip. Fox Farm was the only downstream station with consider-
able numbers of Dolly Varden juveniles with an average CPUE of 1. 2
fish per 24 hrs. Slough areas were lightly used by Dolly Varden as
rearing areas.
It is suspected that as cooling occurs, and as streamflows drop in the
fall, that coho salmon and Dolly Varden juveniles move into over-
wintering areas. Fish tend to concentrate in downstream mainstem
habitats and pool areas with spring-fed or subgravel flows. Although
no sampling was conducted during the winter months, April data provide
some indication of overwintering areas. Bear Island Slough had the
greatest catch of coho salmon and Dolly Varden juveniles during April
1983. (See Appendix B) The highest mean CPUE, 16.3 Dolly Varden per
24 hrs, was recorded in the middle slough pool, with a peak catch of
46.8 Dolly Varden per 24 firs. The lower and middle pools were
isolated from mainstem backwater and had temperatures of 7.1-7. 6 °C,
compared to a mainstem tempera~ure of 2.4°C on May 2, 1983. Umeda et
al (1981) reported that fish prefer warmer water areas in the winter.
The average monthly temperatures in May 1983 for Bear Island Slough
and Tree Bar Reach were 5.7°C and 2.4°C respectively.
No juvenile Dolly Varden OJ' coho salmon were captured in the down-
stream sloughs and tributaries during April 1983 minnow trapping.
Relatively low April mainstem water temperatures may have reduced the
effectiveness of baited minnow traps in areas of the Bradley River
other than Bear Island Slough. Water temperatures at or near 5° to
7°C may trigger movement of juvenile salmonids to overwintering
substrate/cover and reduce feeding activity (Armstrong and Elliott
1972; Chapman 1966). In the Susitna River, during the winter of
1981-1982, fish apparently sought out water with warmer temperatures
in the lower part of the river. (ADF&G, 1983). This same behavior
trait is suspected in the Bradley River.

APPLICATION OF STUDY RESULTS TO BASIN
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Under project operation, the mainstem Bradley River will provide most
of the riverine habitat available in the system. Many of the peri-
pheral habitats presently located in sloughs and side channels will no
longer be available. Presently, the mainstem appears to provide the
majority of spawning habitat for pink salmon. A limited number of
chum salmon were also found spawning in mainstem habitats. The
spawning habitat is restricted to a small portion of the drainage,
principally between river mile 4. 3 and 5. 2. The river upstream from
RM 5. 2 consists of steep gradient with riffles and rapids unsuitable
for spawning salmon. The predominant substrate is large cobbles and
boulders ranging from 5 to 30 in. mean diameter. Areas located below
RM 4. 3 are heavily influenced by the tide. The substrates in this
reach contain a high proportion of fines, which probably precludes
spawning.
Although spawning habitat is confined to a small segment of the total
drainage, a considerable diversity of habitat exists within this
segment. Two study sites were established to describe the availa-
bility of spawning and incubation habitat in this reach under pre-and
post-project conditions.
Suitable rearing habitat exists in the mainstem of the Bradley River
throughout the study area. Bank slumping has created small backwaters
40
and eddies. Pieces of the bank provide cover and shelter from high
velocities. Pool habitat is found in most meander bends. Large pool
habitats that appear to provide suitable rearing habitat are located
in the upper portion of the study area. However, USFWS (1980)
reported little use of mainstem habitat by young fish, particularly
young coho salmon. wee found young Dolly Varden occupying mainstem
habitats from RM 4.5 to RM 5.2 in moderate numbers. Few coho salmon
were encountered in this reach. Availability of rearing habitat does
not appear to be limiting coho salmon in the Bradley River; coho
salmon production is probably limited by lack of spawning habitat.
A study site was located at RM 4.5 to describe rearing conditions in
the mainstem under present and project conditions. This site is
representative of meander bend pools from RM 3.9 to 4.5. In addition,
rearing habitat was evaluated at the study site located at RM 5.0.
This site is representative of the pool-run, and riffle habitats.
Streamflow
Average annual flow in the Bradley River will be reduced under project
operation by 81 percent from 422 cfs to 75 cfs. Table 5 presents the
estimates of average monthly streamflows in the lower Bradley River
under present and project conditions. Streamflow estimates for
present conditions were computed by multiplying the average monthly
flow measured at the USGS gage at the outlet of Bradley Lake by a
drainage basin ratio to determine the flow in the lower Bradley River
(R & M 1983). A specific proposal for project flows has not been
advanced; therefore, the recommended flow regime has been used as the
project flow regime.
The largest reductions in streamflow will occur during the the summer
high-flow months (Figure 13). Flows will be reduced 91 percent in the
months of July and August, respectively. Flows in the winter months
are essentially unchanged. Flow increases of 14 and 8 percent are
expected in March and April on an average monthly basis.

Tidal Influence
Mainstem habitats in the Bradley River are influenced by high tides.
Tidal effects in riverine habitats include intrusion of seawater,
stage and velocity changes from tidal backwater, and sediment deposi-
tion. The magnitudes of these tidal effects are governed by river
discharge and tide height. An increase in discharge at a given tide
height reduces the upstream extent of seawater intrusion, increases
velocities, and decreases sediment deposition. An increase in tide
for a given river discharge will increase slightly the upstream
intrusion of seawater, increase depth, and decrease flow velocity at a
given location, and increase the potential for sediment deposition.
The lower Bradley River below RM 4.3 is most heavily influenced by the
tide. This area experiences frequent seawater intrusion, backwater
effects, and sediment depostion. The mainstem from RM 4.3 to 5.0 is
about the upper limit of influence during most tides and experiences
mainly backwater effects and sediment deposition. The portion from
RM 5.0 to 5.2 experiences backwater effects only at tides above
approximately 18.5 ft.
Duration curves for Kachemak Bay tides were developed for the months
of March, July, and August of 1983 based on tide tables for Seldovia.
They show the percent of time that a given high tide is equaled or
exceeded (Figure 14). This duration figure was used to: 1) assess
the percent of time that each study area is influenced by high tides,
and 2) evaluate the hydraulic and habitat characteristics at three
representative tide levels. The representative tide levels include a
high, relatively infrequent tide (20% exceedance), a median tide (SO%
exceedance), and a low, relatively frequently exceeded tide (80%
exceedance). These tide levels are summarized in Table 6.

Riffle Reach is complicated by the tidal influence. For a glacial
system, the Bradley River carries a relatively light load of suspended
sediments, approximately 40 to 50 mg/1. Most of these particles
appear to remain in suspension as long as velocities are greater than
0.5 fps. As the tide slows the river flow and increases depth and top
width, the silt particles are deposited over a broad expanse of the
channel. As the tide recedes, the discharge increases above that of
low tide discharge and the velocities increase. The increased
velocities attained as the tide recedes may not be sufficient to erode
the deposited silts from gravel bars before they are dewatered. The
normal flow velocities present in the main channel without tidal
influence remove much of the silt from these areas and transport it
downstream. The silt tends to accumulate in areas dewatered under
low-tide conditions or in other low-velocity areas.
In the Bradley River, as in most Alaskan glacial rivers, spawning
occurs during the high flow period. A major factor influencing
production of these spawning areas is the effect of low winter flows
on embryo survival. As flows decrease during winter, spawning areas
may become dewatered or silted. If intergravel flow in these areas is
not maintained by subsurface flow, incubation would be adversely
affected. The effect of streamflow on incubation was analyzed for
Riffle Reach and Tree Bar Reach with respect to both dewatering and
sedimentation. Incubation criteria were established to eliminate
areas that are subject to dewatering and siltation. The depth
criteria eliminated areas of zero water depth. The velocity criteria
were based on the potential for silt accumulation. The incubation
value of areas with velocities below 0.5 fps was reduced because silt
begins to settle out at this velocity. Areas with velocities less
than 0.1 fps were eliminated as silt is expected to accumulate there.
Incubation criteria for depth and velocity were applied to areas
previously identified as spawning habitat to determine the effect of
lowered streamflow on these areas.
47
Salinity
The intrusion of seawater into intertidal riverine habitats of the
Bradley River is a function of discharge and tide height as well as
the salinity structure of upper Kachemak Bay. Since the project will
reduce flows in the Bradley River during much of the year, there is a
potential for salt water to penetrate further upstream than under
natural conditions. Salinity changes may be most significant in the
spawning season when flows in the lower Bradley River will be reduced
by approximately 90 percent from present conditions. Presently, the
highest salinities occur in the system in the winter when river flows
are lowest. Little change is expected in winter discharges, so
upstream intrusion of seawater in winter is not expected to change.
The salinity structure of upper Kachemak Bay also influences the
extent of penetration of seawater. Colonel! (1980) found that
salinities there varied inversely as the amount of freshwater inflow
from the Fox, Sheep, and Bradley Rivers. Bay conditions observed by
Colonel! were used to evaluate the influence of discharge during
summer and winter conditions.
Salinity and temperature were measured at 12 locations in the lower
Bradley River (Figure 15). Four salinity profiles were measured at
three different discharge levels and four different tide heights.
Conductivities and temperatures were measured with a Horiba Model U-7
Water Checker. Both surface and bottom measurements were obtained;
however, little difference existed between them. Conductivities and
temperature were converted to salinities using tables prepared by
Tiphane and St. Pierre (1962). Regression analyses of salinity
against discharge at a specific location and river mile against
discharge for a specific salinity were used to estimate salinities
under post-project conditions.
Discharge appeared to have a more significant effect on the upstream
extent of salinity than tide height (Figure 16). At lower discharges,
seawater penetrates further upstream. Salinity at the mouth of Fox

Figure 16. Salinity profiles.
Farm Creek (RM 2.9) was 1.4 ppt at a discharge of 110 cfs, but
decreased to virtually zero at a discharge of 1000 cfs (Figure 17).
Salinities at Hooligan Slough (RM 3.9) showed a similar pattern.
Proposed flow regime changes are most significant during the summer
period since proposed winter flows are virtually unchanged from
natural conditions. Therefore, the greatest changes in the salinity
profile of the Bradley River would be expected to occur during the
open-water season. Intrusion of salt water in concentrations of 1 ppt
or more is not expected to occur upstream of RM 4. 3 except under
extremely high tides (Figure 18). Thus, no significant change is
expected in spawning and rearing habitats in Riffle or Tree Bar
reaches. Slight increases of salinity during the open-water season
are unlikely to affect utilization or productivity of rearing habitats
in the lower Bradley River. Salinity may be increased in Fox Farm
Creek (RM 2.9) during the spawning season. Average salinities of
1.8 ppt may occur at this location during August and early September.
Salinities measured at the mouth of the river and at Sheep Point
during early August were quite low. Colonell (1980) reported similar
results in his study of the estuarine environment. Colonell's results
indicated that much of the water backed up by the tide into the
Bradley River is relatively fresh. He attributed this to the slow
dispersion of fresh water from Fox River, Sheep Creek and Bradley
River in upper Kachemak Bay. The proportion of fresh water
contributed to Kachemak Bay by these rivers changes seasonally. Due
to their large drainage areas, the Sheep and Fox rivers appear to
contribute a higher proportion of the freshwater inflow during periods
of high flow. Since the proposed tail race will empty into Kachemak
Bay near Sheep Point, the fresh water inflow to upper Kachemak Bay
will be changed only in proportion to the change in the Bradley River
flow regime. Summer flows will be reduced from present monthly means
ranging from 815 to 1246 cfs to a constant 500 cfs from the tailrace
and 100 cfs in the river. This amount of reduction is not anticipated
to cause a significant change in the salinities of upper Kachemak Bay.

RIVER FLOW
Figure 18. Upstream extent of salinities of 1.0 ppt as a function of streamflow.
The salinity estimates for spawning conditions during project opera-
tions were based on measurements taken at operational flow levels
during spring when the salinities in upper Kachemak Bay are relatively
high. Since Bay salinities are lower in the summer months, the predic-
tions are likely too high and thus can be viewed as worst case
estimates.
Salinities during May and June are expected to be higher under project
operation. Median monthly discharges for these months will be reduced
from 200 and 840 cfs to 107 and 174 cfs, respectively. The salinities
in upper Kachemak Bay would be higher in the spring due to low
freshwater inflow. As the summer progresses, high flows in Sheep and
Fox rivers are expected to reduce salinities in upper Kachemak Bay and
the lower Bradley River.
The predicted increases are small. A salinity of about 1.8 ppt is
predicted for the river segment from Fox Farm to Hooligan Slough.
Above Hooligan Slough, salinities would be negligible. Salinities in
this range are not expected to affect the habitat utilization in the
lower Bradley. The reach between Fox Farm and Hooligan Slough is
mainly used by young fish for rearing habitat. Otto (1971) found
that, although salinities of 20 ppt inhibited feeding in presmolt coho
salmon, low salinities actually enhanced growth. Fish exposed to
salinities of 5 to 10 ppt had higher growth rates and food consump-
tion. Since salinities expected in the lower Bradley River are less
than 5 ppt, young coho are not expected to be adversely affected by
salinity increases.
Salinities may be slightly higher in Fox Farm Creek during the
spawning period. Salinities of 1.85 ppt may exist in Fox Farm Creek
during August and September. Normal levels are probably about 0.10 to
0.15 ppt. Little information exists regarding the effects of
salinities in this range. Pink salmon often spawn intertidally.
No coho salmon spawning has been reported to occur intertidally. The
effect of slight increases in salinity may reduce the utility of coho
salmon spawning areas in lower Fox Farm Creek.
54
Since winter flows will not be reduced, salinities during the
incubation period a·re not expected to change. Winter powerhouse
discharges to Kachemak Bay may slightly reduce salinities in upper
Kachemak Bay, but no change is projected for incubation conditions.
Water Temperatures
Water temperature in the mainstem habitats is anticipated to be
reduced and to have a greater daily variation under project
conditions. The amount of reduction is expected to be greatest during
late summer and early fall, with little change anticipated during
winter months. The reasons for the anticipated temperature reduction
are: 1) a greater proportion of flow in the lower Bradley River will
be contributed from the cooler North Fork Bradley River and
2) releases from Bradley Lake will be taken from a depth of about 150
.ct in August and September, which is likely to be several degrees
cooler than the surface (pre-project water source). Few records are
available to estimate the probable decrease in lower Bradley River
water temperatures.
Water temperature data were collected from 2 August to 26 August 1983
from the outlet of Bradley Lake (1090 ft. msl), the North Fork Bradley
River ( 1650 ft. msl), and the lower Bradley River at RM 5. 1 ( 14 ft.
msl). Additional data were collected from 2 May to 31 July 1983 in
Bear Island Slough and from 2 May to 10 July in the lower Bradley
River at RM 5.1. The station locations are shown in Figure 15. The
location of the North Fork Station was the lowest point in the North
Fork drainage basin that was accessible by helicopter. The data were
collected using Peabody-Ryan Model J-90 continuous recording
thermographs. The chart records were reduced by tabulating the
recorded temperature at 2 hr intervals over the period of record.
These data were analyzed to provide mean, maximum, and minimum
temperatures on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. The monthly and
most weekly values are based on incomplete periods due to the short
length of record. August temperatures in the lower Bradley River at
RM 5. 1, at the Bradley Lake outlet, and in the North Fork Bradley
River are shown in Figure 19.

Lake outlet, Lower Bradley River, and North Fork for August 1983.
56
Daily mean water temperatures over the period 2-26 August 1983 at the
Bradley Lake outlet were within 1°C of the temperatures in Tree Bar
Reach (Figure 20). Water temperatures of the North Fork Bradley River
were as much as 3.6°C cooler than those at RM 5.1 of the Bradley River
during the same period (Figure 20). It is anticipated that the North
Fork temperatures increase between the thermograph location and its
confluence with the Bradley River The North Fork contributes
significantly less flow to the Bradley River than does Bradley Lake
under present summer flow regimes and thus its influence on the
temperatures in the lower Bradley River is proportionately less.
The proposed monthly project contribution of North Fork Bradley River
flows and reservoir releases is shown in Figure 21. Winter project
water temperatures will likely resemble project conditions in the
lower Bradley River, even though reservoir releases contribute up to
40 percent of total flows. Atmospheric cooling of the 1elatively
warm, 2-4 °C reservoir water through the 3. 6 miles of steep gradient
canyon will likely result in relatively cool water reaching the
confluence with the North Fork. The near-zero temperature of the
North Fork is anticipated to cause the temperature of the combined
flow to be 1°C or less by the time it reaches Tree Bar Reach.
Project temperatures during May, June, and July will be dominated by
the temperature of North Fork flows. It is anticipated that the mean
daily temperatures will be similar to present conditions since flows
in both the North Fork and the Bradley River will consist primarily of
low-elevation snowmelt runoff. Thus temperatures are anticipated to
be cold (1-2°C) at the beginning of the period, warming to 6-8°C by
the end of July. The diurnal variations of temperature are likely to
increase during this period to a range that is larger than the current
conditions.
Project water temperatures during August and September, when reservoir
releases will provide 47 and 33 percent of minimum Bradley River
flows, respectively will likely be cooler than present conditions.
Reservoir releases of 4-6°C water are not anticipated to warm

significantly through the narrow 3. 6 mile long canyon. North Fork
flows during late summer and fall are anticipated to be less than the
present Bradley River flows during that period. The combined flows of
the North Fork and the reservoir releases could be as much as 2-3°C·
less and more variable than present temperatures in the lower Bradley
River.
Relatively cool August and September water temperatures could reduce
the feeding activity and growth of juvenile Dolly Varden and coho
salmon rearing in the Bradley River. Feeding and growth of fishes are
related to water temperatures with cool water temperatures inhibiting
fish feeding activity and subsequent growth (Clarke, Shelborne and
Brett 1981).
Decreased August and September water temperatures could impede the
upstream migration of pink salmon in the Bradley River. Pink salmon
ascend streams at relative warm water temperatures compared to
chinook, sockeye and especially chum salmon (Bell 1983). Pink salmon
encountering water temperatures below their minimum migration
requirement could hold until waters warm or enter other streams to
spawn.
The project flows and temperatures during October and November will
again be dominated by the North Fork. It is anticipated that
temperatures during this period will be slightly less than the present
temperatures, since Bradley Lake likely causes a slight lag in the
present water temperature response to seasonal air temperature
changes. The magnitude of the difference is expected to be less than
during the August-September period.
BASIN RESULTS
Spawning Habitat
Most of the spawning activity is restricted to a small portion of the
Bradley River from RM 4.7 to RM 5.2. Under present flows, the Riffle
60
Reach area appears to be the most important in terms of numbers of
spawning fish encountered. Tree Bar also provides spawning habitat
under present conditions, but the spawning areas in this region
support fewer fish. Under operational flows, the productivity of both
Riffle and Tree Bar Reaches is expected to improve.
Tables 7 and 8 present the habitat availability under present and
project conditions for the entire Bradley River. Results from the
reach analyses were extrapolated to the river segment represented by
the study site and then combined. Riffle Reach represents habitat
conditions in approximately 1000 lineal ft of stream while Tree Bar
Reach characterizes habitat conditions in approximately 2000 lineal ft
of stream.
Although the availability of spawning habitat will be reduced by 55
percent under project operation, the productivity of the remainh.g
spawning habitat is expected to increase. Much of the present
spawning habitat appears to be unproductive. The combination of high
summer flow and low winter flow that presently occur in the system
appears to limit productivity in existing spawning areas. Many
spawning areas available under summer high flow are dewatered or
silted during low flow periods in the winter. Operational flows will
provide spawning habitat on the floor of the channel rather than on
the lateral margins. The winter flow will be able to support
incubation in more spawning habitat than under present conditions. It
is expected that the effectiveness of spawning habitat will increase
under project operation.
Extrapolation of the effective spawning habitat analyses to the river
basin indicates that incubation will be maintained by operational
flows in almost all of the available spawning habitat. Effective
spawning habitat under project operation would be doubled. In
addition, 98.6 percent of the original spawning habitat would be
maintained by winter flow. Production should also increase because
pink salmon will not have accesss to habitat that is susceptible to
dewatering. The density of spawning also should increase providing
better use of productive habitat. Weighted usable area values should

not be interpreted as absolute values of habitat since WUA is a
combination of quantity and quality in habitat, and a very large area
of marginal habitat may have the same value as a smaller area of
optimal habitat. The fish utilization of these habitats may be quite
different. When dealing with the population and lifestage that
requires a certain amount of area associated with each fish or a group
of fish, the effectiveness of marginal habitat may outweigh a smaller
amount of optimal habitat. Weighted usable area values for effective
spawning habitat describe the availability of original spawning
habitat that meets the incubation criteria during winter flow. In
establishing the incubation criteria, density and velocity parameters
were considered. Incubation is terminated when the area is dewatered
or when velocities are low enough to allow silt to accumulate. This
analysis does not consider the presence of subsurface flow or
groundwater upwelling, which may maintain incubation in dewatered or
low-velocity areas. If dewatered areas are maintained by subsurface
flow in the Bradley River, then gains in effective spawning WUA under
project operational flow may be overestimated. However, since salmon
production in the Bradley River appears to be quite low, it is
unlikely that intergravel flow is maintaining a significant portion of
the present spawning habitat. The loss of spawning habitat in Bear
Island Slough would affect those species dependent on that habitat.
Replacement habitat for these species does not appear to be available
in the Bradley River. Production of chinook salmon may be lost. The
small number of chinook salmon (six adults) indicate that under
natural conditions continued production of chinook salmon is tenuous.
Chum salmon are found spawning in other habitats within the Bradley
River. WUA values indicate an increase of chum salmon spawning
habitat as a result of project operation. Weighted usable area
indicates the long-term habitat availability in the system as defined
by hydraulic and substrate components of the habitat. Chum salmon
appear to have additional habitat requirements. In the Bradley River
and in other Alaskan rivers, chum salmon spawn in areas influenced by
upwelling groundwater or subsurface flows (Kogl 1965 and Wilson
et al.). Chum salmon habitat may require suitable hydraulic
64
conditions in areas with upwelling. Therefore, the availability of
upwelling would influence the habitat utilization as predicted by WUA
values. Although no data have been collected to determine the
availability of upwelling areas in the Bradley River, the limited
distribution of chum salmon indicated that very few upwelling areas
are presently associated with hydraulics and/or substrate
characteristics suitable for spawning. It is likely that the lack of
upwelling areas will continue to limit chum salmon production under
project operation.
The WUA values for pink salmon appear to more accurately reflect the
long-term habitat availability in the Bradley River. Pink salmon
appear to respond directly to hydraulic conditions as evidenced by
movement of spawning fish with changes in depths and ve·locities.
Water temperature is an additional factor that likely would affect
pink salmon habitat utilization. Water temperatures are expected to
decrease under project operation. The magnitude of change may be
sufficient to affect habitat utilization in the Bradley River.
However, since predicted values, in the range of 6 to 8°C, are within
the tolerance range of spawning pink salmon, the increased habitat
availability (as predicted by the WUA values) will likely increase
pink salmon production under project operation.
Rearing Habitat
Evaluation of WUA shows an increased availability of rearing habitat
for coho salmon under post-project conditions; however, these
increases are unlikely to result in increased production in the
Bradley River. The field work completed by wee and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service indicated that coho salmon are not presently
utilizing the rearing habitats available in the upper portion of the
Bradley River. Since the available habitat is not occupied, an
increase in habitat availability is not expected to affect juvenile
coho salmon in the Bradley River.. No Age 0 coho salmon were found in
the upper portion of the river, and few older juveniles were captured
in this portion of the river.
65
The lack of Age 0 fish and the low numbers of older juveniles indicate
that very little coho production, if any, is occurring in the upper
portion of the lower Bradley River. Although adult coho have been
captured in the Bradley River, no spawning areas have been located
upstream of Fox Farm Creek (RM 2.9). Part of this absence of coho may
be caused by the lack of sampling in mainstem during autumn when coho
spawn. In other drainages, coho salmon principally utilize small
stream habitats and spring areas for spawning. The Bradley River
drainage does not provide many of these areas, therefore, it is not
expected that large numbers of coho salmon spawn in this system.
Operational conditions will probably not result in increased
availability of spawning habitat for coho salmon.
The loss of Bear Island Slough as an overwintering area may affect
juvenile coho salmon utilization of the upper portion of the river.
Although pool habitats suitable for overwinterin~ are present, water
temperatures in the mainstem appear to be cooler. Therefore, the
quality of mainstem overwintering habitat would be inferior to that in
Bear Island Slough. Since densities of coho juvenile are low in this
portion of the river, the loss of Bear Island Slough is not expected
to significantly affect coho salmon production in the Bradley River.
Young coho salmon are relatively abundant in the lower Bradley River.
Coho salmon abundance in the sloughs and tributaries of the lower
Bradley River was several times greater than in upper areas. Some of
these coho salmon are probably produced in Fox Farm Creek. USFWS
found spawning adults in Fox Farm Creek in 1979 and 1980. WCC found
concentration of Age 0 coho salmon in Fox Farm in early and late
August. Spawning area in Fox Farm Creek is limited due to its small
size. Silts from tidal backwater would preclude spawning in the lower
portion of this stream and the steep gradient and coarse substrate
would prevent utilization of the upper portion. It was estimated that
Fox Farm Creek could support at most 50 pairs of spawning coho salmon.
It is unlikely that Fox Farm Creek could produce the numbers of coho
salmon found in the lower Bradley River.
66
There is some speculation that coho salmon juveniles rearing in the
Bradley River may be coming from adjacent drainages of the Fox and the
Sheep rivers. Both rivers support runs of coho salmon. The low
salinities that occur in the upper portion of Kachemak Bay during the
summer months would not inhibit movements by juvenile coho salmon.
Since only minor increases in salinity are expected during the open
water season, the project is not expected to affect interdrainage
movements of juvenile fish if they are presently occurring.
Sampling efforts by the USFWS in 1979 and 1980 and by wee in 1983
indicated that the majority of coho rearing was occurring in the
sloughs and tributaries in the lower portion of the river.
Operational flows will reduce the backwater at the mouths of the
sloughs and tributaries. Since coho salmon appeared to be more
abundant in areas upstream of the backwater, it is not expected that
the loss of these areas will affect juvenile coho salmon in the
Bradley River.

TREE BAR REACH
Site Description
Tree Bar Study Reach is located at RM 5.0 and represents the habitat
characteristics of the river segment from RM 4.9 to 5.2. This reach
was selected to evaluate the availability of replacement habitat for
pink and chum salmon under project flows. The floodplain at this site
is relatively narrow as the Bradley River canyon begins just upstream
at RM 5. 4. This site represents the upstream extent of pink salmon
spawning habitat. The stream channel in this reach consists of rela-
tively straight segments connected by abrupt bends (Figure B-1).
Average reach gradient is 3 ft/1000 ft and the reach is characterized
by a riffle-run-pool sequences. Cross-sections in this reach are
parabolic along the gravel bars in the straight reaches and triangular
through the pools. The substrate changes from large cobble in the
upper portion and in the thalweg to large and medium gravels along the
gravel bars and in the pools. Streambanks are covered with cotton-
wood, alder and willow. Several large exposed gravel bars are present
in the reach.
Bear Island Slough enters the river within this study site and a small
overflow channel exists along the right bank. USGS installed a con-
tinuous recording stream gage just below Bear Island Slough in June
1983. Flow through Bear Island Slough begins when Bradley River flow
is approximately 700 cfs. At a mainstem discharge of 1250, the flow
in the slough was 20 cfs.

No salinities were measured in this reach in late April. Based on an
analysis of salinity and discharge. no intrusion of salt water is
expected to occur here even under low river flows. Unlike downstream
areas, deposition of silt occurred in this reach in dewatered areas.
This indicates that the tidal influence does not appear to be a
significant factor controlling habitat availability. During tides
greater than 17.9 ft, the water surface elevation rises slightly in
downstream transects and velocities are slowed. The duration of tidal
influence appears to be short, less than 2 hours during a high tide of
20ft (at Seldovia). Because of this minimal effect, tidal influence
was not evaluated in this reach.
The IFG-4 hydraulic simulation model and the IFG-3 HABTAT model were
used to evaluate the habitat in this reach. Eight transects were
established to model the 950ft reach (Figure B-2). Transects 1, 3, 4
and 6 describe hydraulic and substrate characteristics of runs, 2 and
7 characterize riffles and 5 and 8 represent pool habitats. Figure
B-3 presents cross-sectional profiles of the transects. Complete sets
of hydraulic data were collected at flows of 93, 230, and 379 cfs.
Additional measurements were collected at individual transects at
flows of 50, 6 70 and 1250 cfs. The hydraulic models were used to
simulate habitat conditions for streamflows ranging from 30 cfs to
2000 cfs. In order to evaluate flows over this range, two models were
calibrated. A high-flow model was used to simulate flows from 250 to
2000 cfs, and a low flow model was used to simulate flows from 30 to
250 cfs.
Fish Utilization
Pink, chum and coho salmon and Dolly Varden·were found in this reach.
Sampling efforts in April, June and August indicated that this reach
provides habitat for Dolly Varden and coho salmon juveniles. No Age 0
salmonids were found in this reach. Spawning pink salmon were
moderately abundant in this reach, however, few spawning chum salmon
were present. Several chum salmon captured were not fully ripe

indicating that they may spawn slightly later than pink salmon in the
Bradley River. Fresh coho salmon still carrying sea lice were
encountered in this reach in late August.
Dolly Varden juveniles were abundant in this reach. They were found
in eddies created by bank erosion and log debris. They also occupied
pool habitats located near Transect 5, the mouth of the overflow
channel just below Transect 2, the main channel along gravel bars and
other low-velocity habitats. Few coho salmon were found in this
reach. Most were captured in low-velocity areas in association with
log debris or other cover objects.
Pink salmon spawning areas were found along the gravel bars. The
right bank near transects 3, 4, and 5 appeared to support the majority
of spawning in the study reach (Figure B-4). Additional ripe pink
salmon adults were found along the left bank near Ttansect 6 and 7. A
few chum salmon were found along the right bank between Transect 4
and 5.
Results and Discussion
Habitat conditions for spawning pink and chum salmon were predicted
over the range of flows simulated at this site. Figure B-5, Part A
presents the WUA in relationship to discharge for spawning pink
salmon. The WUA function increases gradually with discharge and
attains the highest value at approximately 500 cfs. Then, spawning
habitat values remain approximately the same as discharge increases.
This is probably due to the presence of large gravel bars in the
reach. As the flow increases spawning habitat moves higher up on the
gravel bars. Spawning areas available at lower flows would be subject
to high velocities under higher discharges.
WUA values represent a small proportion of the gross area. Spawning
habitat in the site is probably limited by substrate at lower flows.
Large cobble, ranging from 5 to 8 inches in diameter, occupy the
thalweg of the channel. At higher discharges, water levels are high

enough to allow fish access to smaller substrate particles located
along the gravel bars. Spawning habitat located in the left bank near
Transect 6 is available over a wide range of discharges. The point
bar near Transect 8 deflects high velocities away from the spawning
area. Slower velocities exist along the left bank at high flows. At
a discharge of 1000 cfs, simulated velocities ranged from 2. 5 to
3.0 fps. At a flow of 93 cfs, velocities ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 fps
were measured.
Changes in WUA values for spawning pink salmon were evaluated for
estimated present and project conditions. Habitat values were
projected for the months of July, August, and September. Although
spawning generally occurs in mid-to late August, environmental
factors can cause the spawning season to be earlier or later.
Table B-1 presents WUA values for present and project median monthly
streamflows. Reductions in WUA of nearly 60 percent are projected
under project flow levels. Reductions of this magnitude may not
result in a corresponding reduction of pink salmon production.
Many of the spawning areas available at summer flows are dewatered by
winter flows. Figure B-6 presents a comparison of Tree Bar Study
Reach at discharges of 1250 and 50 cfs. Dewatering spawning areas may
subject salmon embryos to dessication or freezing resulting in low
incubation success. The loss of unproductive spawning habitat would
not adversely affect pink salmon in Tree Bar Reach. Low water levels
during spawning under project operation may result in fish using areas
that remain wetted under low-flow conditions.
Water surface elevations at selected transects for present and project
flows are shown in Figure B-7. Transects 6 and 3 were located near
spawning areas occupied at discharges near 600 to 700 cfs. A greater
proportion of the wetted perimeter available at 100 cfs is maintained
by winter flows of 40 cfs. To determine the effect of reduced
spawning flows and increased winter flows, an analysis of the effect
of incubation flows on spawning areas was completed.

Successful incubation of embryos in spawning areas depends to a large
extent on streamflow dependent variables. Sufficient water depth must
be present to protect the embryos from freezing and dessication.
Sufficient velocity must exist in the stream to prevent sedimentation
of the spawning beds and sufficient intragravel flow must exist with
appropriate levels of dissolved ox~gen for respiration and waste
removal. Of these factors, water depth and surface velocities can be
addressed with hydraulic models. Using the "effective spawning
program", spawning areas identified under spawning flows are evaluated
at other flows using incubation criteria to predict incubation
success. Using computer simulation, WUA values are assigned to cells
using spawning criteria (Figure B-8). Cells with spawning WUA values
greater than zero are tested at the alternative flow using incubation
criteria and a new WUA value is computed. The two WUA values assigned
to that cell are compared and the lowest value is assigned to that
cell as effective spawning WUA.
This analysis ignores the role of intragravel flow in successful
incubation. Incubation can be successfully maintained in areas where
intragravel flow from upwelling groundwater or subsurface flows is
sufficient to maintain oxygen levels and waste removal. Since sub-
surface flow is not considered, productive areas may be missed.
Effective spawning habitat at Tree Bar associated with spawning flows
of 75 to 200, and 700 to 1400 cfs was evaluated at incubation flows of
30 to 70 cfs. WUA values are presented in Table B-2 with present and
project ranges emphasized. Highest effective spawning habitat values
for the flows analyzed occurred at spawning flows of 200 cfs and
incubation flows of 70 cfs. The probability for this combination
occurring in the Bradley River under natural conditions is small.
Effective spawning habitat WUA values under present conditions are
low, ranging from 2000 to 3000 units (Table B-3). Under project
operations WUA values would be increased by a factor of 2 (Table B-4).
Thus it appears that incubation success could improve under project
operation.

WUA for spawning chum salmon in Tree Bar Reach is presented as a
function of discharge (Figure B-8). WUA values for chum salmon are
higher than those for pink salmon, due primarily to the broad range of
velocities included in the criteria for spawning chum salmon. The
amount of WUA for chum salmon is fairly constant over a broad range of
streamflows. Slight increases in availability of habitat are
anticipated under project operation in August, with substantial
increases in September (Table B-5).
Habitat availability for pink and chum salmon fry was evaluated as
passage conditions for outmigration rather than for rearing
conditions. Pink salmon outmigrate almost immediately upon emergence.
Chum salmon fry may remain in the system for several months before
outmigrating. Observations of chum salmon fry in early June indicate
that habitat preferences of the fry are similar to those of coho
salmon (Wilson et al. 1981; ADF&G, 1983), thus rearing habitat values
presented for coho salmon are probably applicable for chum salmon as
well. Habitat availability for young coho salmon were evaluated for
each month of the year.
WUA values for rearing habitat in Tree Bar Reach is presented as a
function of discharge (Figure B-9). WUA is a small proportion of the
tidal area in the study reach. In Tree Bar rearing habitat is
restricted to the lateral margin by high velocity. WUA values
indicate that rearing habitat has approximately the same availability
over a wide range of flows. Availability increases slightly at flows
less than 100 cfs and at flows of 1800 cfs. Rearing habitat increases
at lower flows as velocities drop in the main channel. At higher
flows water begins to cover gravel bars creating large areas of low
velocity water.
Rearing habitat was evaluated for present and project average monthly
flows (Table B-6). Values are higher under project operations
indicating a general increase in rearing habitat in mains tern areas.
It is expected that habitat values given for the winter months are
less reliable than during the open-water season as overwintering fish
generally occupy different habitat.

RIFFLE REACH
Site Description
Riffle Reach study site located at RM 4.7 was selected to evaluate the
the availability of replacement spawning habitat in this area under
post-project conditions. This study site was selected as a unique or
critical reach as it appeared to have the best potential to provide
spawning habitat in the lower Bradley River for supporting pink salmon
under project operation. Riffle Reach is a transition zone between
the riffle-run-pool habitat of Tree Bar river segment to the
meandering runs of the lower river. The channel alignment of this
reach is straight with a slight bend in the lower portion. The
average gradient of this reach is 2 ft/1000 ft. It is characterized
by a run-riffle-run sequence.
The streambanks along both sides in the upper portion of the site are
vertical and vegetated with spruce/cottonwood trees with a tall grass
understory (Figure B-10). A mid-channel gravel bar becomes exposed
near the upper portion of the study site at mid to lower flows (600 to
100 cfs). Another gravel bar appears along the right bank of the mid
portion of the study site as flows recede. A large gravel bar is
located along the left bank near the lower end of the study reach.
The right bank in the lower portion of the site is a vertical cut bank
vegetated by tall grass and sedges. It is characterized by
overhanging grasses and undercut banks, with some log debris and
submerged roots. The left bank is vertical with few irregularities
and no log debris. Substrate in this reach is fairly uniform
consisting principally of small cobble and large gravel mixed with
some medium gravel. A small overflow channel known as Cut Off Slough
leaves the mainstem near Transect 4 and re-enters near RM 4.5.
This reach of the river is subject to tidal influence. At high tides,
the backwater causes an increase in stage and reduction of velocities.
Salt water does not appear to intrude this far upstream under flows of
B-24

I B-25
100 cfs or higher. Some intrusion might occur in this area during the
low winter flows and high tides. The duration of tidal influence at
this site was approximately 3 hrs for an 18.1 ft tide.
During low flows tidal influence results in silts being deposited in
low-velocity or dewatered areas. Sediments being transported by the
river settle out in the calm tidal backwaters. As the tide runs out
and the velocity increases in the reach, much of the silt is removed
from the stream bed. Fine particles accumulate along the stream
margins and over exposed gravel bars. These silts are eroded by the
high summer flows.
Since the tidal influence appears to affect habitat conditions in this
reach, an analysis of habitat availability was included in the
computer modelling process. The IFG-2 model was selected for hydraulic
simulation to evaluate tidal effects . The IFG-2 model predicts depth
and velocity from water surface elevation and discharge, thus as the
tide changes the water surface elevation, the IFG-2 model can predict
the hydraulics in the channel. The IFG-4 model does not have this
capability. Analyses of salinity changes and increases in sediment
deposition were also undertaken for this site.
Six transects were established in Riffle Reach to describe the
physical habitat (Figure B-11). The transect farthest downstream was
placed at a hydraulic control caused by a constriction. Transect 2
describes runs while Transects 3, 4 and 5 were located to evaluate
riffle habitat. Transect 6 is located in the downstream end of the
pool. Cross-section profiles are presented in Figure B-12,
Calibration measurements were obtained at high and low tide for
discharges of 135 and 365 cfs. Discharge measurements were obtained at
flows of 600 cfs for several transects and water surface elevations at
each transect were surveyed for a discharge of 1250. Due to the
changes in hydraulic conditions between low and high flow condition,
two separate hydraulic models were calibrated. The low-flow model was
used to simulate hydraulic conditions present in the study reach for
flows between 30 cfs and 250 cfs. Hydraulic condition for flows from

250 cfs to 2000 cfs were simulated using a high-flow model. Tidally
influenced hydraulics at the full range of flows were simulated on the
high-flow model.
Fish utilization
This reach includes the most heavily utilized spawning area for pink
salmon in the Bradley River. Relative to other sites in the Bradley
River, large numbers of pink salmon (approximately 700) were spawning
in this area. Location of spawning activity as sampled in late August
is presented in Figure B-13. Areas at the tail of the pool upstream
of Transect 6 and the gravel bars near Transects 6, 3, and 4 supported
concentrations of spawning pink salmon. Several ripening chum salmon
were found along the gravel bar between 5 and 6. An occasional fresh
coho or sockeye salmon was encountered in this reach.
Habitat Value
A relationship between discharge and habitat value was developed for
spawning and incubation of pink and chum salmon. Rearing habitat was
limited to small eddies in bank irregularities and behind fallen
trees. Since the transects were located to describe spawning habitat
very few rearing areas are represented in the study site. Thus
rearing habitat was not evaluated at this site.
Habitat values in Riffle Reach for pink and chum salmon change as a
function of discharge (Figure B-14). Pink salmon spawning habitat
shows a rapid increase in WUA values as flows increase to 200 cfs.
Maximum WUA values are obtained at flows of 600 cfs. At higher flows,
the value of the spawning habitat gradually decreases.
Flows of 1100 to 1200 cfs were observed in the study reach in early
August and flows of 600 to 700 cfs were observed in late August.
Spawning pink salmon were present in the reach at both flows but were
located in different portions of the study site. At 1200 cfs, most of
the fish were located along the gravel bars at Transects 6, 4 and 3.

Velocities in these areas are in the range of 2 to 5 fps. At flows
of 600 cfs, fish were located across the main channel at Transects 6
and 3 and along the gravel bar at Transects 3 and 4. Velocity
measured in these areas ranged from 1.5 to 4.0 fps at flows of 600 to
700 cfs.
The longterm median monthly streamflows for July and August are 1100
and 1150 cfs, respectively (Table B-7).

These flows have WUA values
and 18,000. Under project
operation spawning flows would be reduced to near the 100 cfs range
with WUA value of 14,000. This reduction in availability of spawning
habitat is not expected to adversely affect pink salmon production in
the lower Bradley River.
Much of the spawning habitat available at 1100 cfs is dewatered under
low winte..: flows. In addition, in Riffle Reach, tidal influence in
conjunction with low flows causes deposition of fine sediments in
areas of low veloeity. Figure B-15a is a photograph of Riffle Reach at
a flow of approximately 1200 cfs. Spawning pink salmon were located
along the mid-channel gravel bar near Transect 6. Figure B-15b, is a
photograph of Riffle Reach at 50 cfs. At this discharge, most of the
spawning habitat occupied at 1200 cfs and much of that used at 600 cfs
is dewatered. Spawning areas located at the tail of the pool are
still covered by flowing water.
Figure B-16 illustrates the change in stage between 1150 cfs present
during the spawning season and 40 cfs normally present during
incubation. Much of the area available to spawning salmon is
dewatered during incubation flows of 40 cf s. Embryos in dewatered
areas may be subject to dessication or freezing if these areas are not
maintained by intragravel flow. The change in stage between spawning
flows of 100 cfs and incubation flows of 40 cfs is not as dramatic.
Thus, more of the spawning habitat would likely remain wetted under
project spawning flows of 100 cfs.
Incubation success of spawning habitat in Riffle Reach was evaluated
using the hydraulic models. The location of spawning habitat and

subsequent incubation conditions within those spawning areas were
compared. Various combinations of spawning flows and incubation flows
were evaluated to determine the amount of productive spawning habitat.
Table 8 presents the effective spawning habitat for several combina-
tions of spawning and incubation flows. Under natural conditions, the
Bradley River generally has spawning flows in the range of 900 to 1200
cfs and winter flows of 30 to 50 cfs. These combinations provide low
WUA values for effective spawning habitat.
A number of combinations of spawning and
increase WUA for effective spawning habitat.
incubation flows would
It appears that under
project operation, there is a potential to increase the pink salmon
production of the lower Bradley River. Increased effective spawning
habitat is assumed to result in increased salmon production. Combina-
tions of spawning flows in the range of 100 to 150 and incubation
flows in the range of 30 to 50 increase WUA values by three to four
times over present conditions. Thus improved production is expected
under project flows.
Even under lower flows, the WUA for spawning pink salmon represents a
relatively small percentage of the total area available in the study
site. WUA values for spawning represent about 15 to 20 percent of the
gross area (Tables B-9 and B-10). This is due, in part, to lack of
suitable substrates in portions of the reach. Substrate particles
that are too large for effective spawning are in the main channel of
the river at most transects in Riffle Reach. The depths and velocities
associated with these areas under project operation would be suitable
for use by spawning salmon if smaller substrate particles were
available.
WUA values for spawning chum salmon at Riffle Reach indicate that
suitable depths, velocities, and substrate exist over high proportion
of the study site. Under present spawning flows, chum salmon habitat
has WUA values of 20,800 and 21,500 for median flow levels in August
and September. Under project operation flows, the chum salmon habitat
value remains approximately the same with WUA values of 16,600 but
would comprise a larger percent of gross area (Table B-11).

Chum salmon habitat in Riffle Reach as described by depth, velocity,
and substrate, appears to be under-utilized. Few chum salmon were
found in Riffle Reach--probably less than 10 individuals were sighted
during electrofishing. Chum salmon spawning has been linked with
upwelling and springs (Wilson et al 1982, ADF&G 1983 -spawning
habitat appendix). Upwelling areas or springs have not yet been
identified in Riffle Reach.
Tidal Influence
Riffle Reach is influenced by tidal backwater during the spawning
season. As the incoming tide raises the water surface elevation, the
velocities decrease. A tide of approximately 14.5 ft in height
affects the downstream transect, whereas it takes a tide of
approximately 16.5 ft to affect the uppermost transect. Salmon
spawning habitat in Riffle Reach during August would be influenced by
tidal backwater during approximately 65 percent of the high tides.
The duration of tidal influence in Riffle Reach is primarily a
function of tide height--the higher the tide, the longer the duration.
Tidal influence is inversely related to discharge. That is, for a
given tide height, tidal influence decreases with increasing
discharge. During low flows (134 cfs), tidal influence affected
Riffle Reach approximately 2.5 hours in a tide of 18.1 ft. Although
the duration of tidal influence is relatively short, it is a recurrent
phenomenon which influences the habitat characteristics of Riffle
Reach.
Pink salmon spawning habitat was evaluated for three different tide
levels: the frequent tide height, 15.0 ft (equalled or exceeded 80%
of the time), an average tide height of 17.2 ft (equalled or exceeded
SO% of the time), and a higher high tide, 19.2 ft (equalled or
exceeded 20% of the time). The WUA values as a function of discharge
for the 15 ft tide closely resembled without tidal influence. WUA
values at higher tides are quite different. At lower flows, WUA
values at high tide are lower than those without tidal influence,
B-42
Flow velocities are probably responsible for the decrease in weighted
usable area. At higher flows, the 17.2 ft tide does not have
sufficient influence to maintain low velocities and the WUA function
approaches that of the low tide. For selected discharges, the WUA for
spawning habitat with no tidal influence was reevaluated under median
tide conditions. Using the effective spawning habitat program,
habitat conditions at low tide were compared with those at high tide.
The cell was assigned the lower of the two values. This analysis
indicates the effects of tidal influence on spa~ing habitat available
when no tidal effects are present. Table B-12 presents the WUA values
for discharge with and without tidal influence as defined by the
criteria for spawning pink salmon. WUA does not appear to be
adversely affected by tidal backwater over a broad range of flows.
EAGLE NEST POOL REACH
Site Description
Eagle Nest Pool study reach is located at RM 4. 6 on the bend of an
oxbow. It was established to represent mainstem rearing habitat in the
lower Bradley River from RM 3. 9 to 4. 5. This reach is typical of
pools located on the bends of the lower river. These types of areas
were identified as potential rearing habitat under project conditions
by USFWS. These habitats are heavily influenced by tidal activity.
The right bank is covered with grasses and an overstory of mature and
dead cottonwood trees. These large trees are falling into the river
channel as high flows erode the bank. These semi-permanent debris
jams throughout the channel form back eddies and create cover, greatly
influencing the hydraulic and biological character of the reach. The
left bank is an exposed gravel bar, which is normally inundated during
high tide. This bank has some low velocity areas created by fallen
trees, which cause the formation of small embayments. The substrate
is principally large to medium gravel with mud bottoms found in pools
along the right bank.

Four transects were established in this reach (Figure B-17). Transect
1 was located at the hydraulic control for the pool, the head of a
small riffle. Transects 2 and 3 describe the main body of the pool
delineating changes in top width and cover. Transect 4 describes the
habitat at the head of the pool. Cross-sectional profiles are
presented in Figure B-18, Calibration flows were obtained at high and
low tides at discharges of 180 and 340 cfs.
Fish Utilization
No adults were captured in this site. The abundant object cover such
as root and log debris provide rearing habitat. Juvenile Dolly Varden
and sculpin were relatively abundant in these areas with a few coho
salmon juveniles found. An Age 0 chinook salmon. the only one
encountered in mainstem habitats, was encountered in a backwater on
the left bank gravel bar.
Rearing Habitat Abundance
The seasonal abundance of juvenile coho salmon rearing habitat within
Eagle Pool will be altered by project flows (Table B-13). Present
flow relationships are complex but habitat is most abundant during
July and August and least abundant in October. Project flows will
alter the seasonal abundance of rearing habitat with minimums
occurring during June and peaks occurring during the winter.
Project losses of rearing habitat from 26 to 32 percent will occur
during June through August due to substantially reduced flows. Gains
in rearing habitat from 20 to 68 percent are forecast during September
through November, then progressively decline from 20 percent in
November to three percent in February. Slight project losses of
rearing habitat (less than 5%) will occur during March and April.
Impacts of reduced rearing habitat on juvenile coho salmon abundance
within Eagle Pool are speculative but juvenile coho salmon are not
abundant within Eagle Pool. Summer project habitat reduction should
not seriously impact relative abundance of juvenile coho salmon within
Eagle Pool Reach.

Slight predicted increases in salinity associated with reduced project
flows are not expected to adversely influence rearing coho salmon at
Eagle Pool (RM 4.6). Intrusion of salt water in excess of 1 ppt or
greater is not expected to occur upstream of RM 4. 3 except during
extremely high tides.

APPENDIX C
SLOUGH AND TRIBUTARY HABITATS
SLOUGH AND TRIBUTARY HABITATS
BEAR ISLAND SLOUGH
Site Description
Bear Island Slough, located near RM 5.1, is a unique aquatic habitat
within the Bradley River. When summer flows exceed 700 cfs in the
lower Bradley River, the slough is overtopped and becomes an overflow
channel, while at winter flows, the channel is isolated from the
mainstem river. The upper half of the slough is a steep, straight
channel with a cobble-boulder substrate. Under present summer flows
this segment contains primarily riffle habitat with occasional pools.
The lower half of the slough is wider, has a relatively flat gradient
and has two large, deep pools. Maximum depths within these pools
during summer are about 6 ft. During winter flows, water within the
two pools in the lower slough reach are maintained by subsurface flow
while the upper channel of this slough is dewatered. Substrate in the
lower pools is silty sands with small gravels and sand along the
shallow edges and tails of the pools. Occasional boulders line the
left pool margins.
A bedrock face rises abruptly along the left bank and creates a steep
and often deep bank on this side of the pools. Alders overhang the
left side of the pool where the rock wall occasionally retreats. The
right bank is a gradually sloping sand and gravel bar. Bear Island
separates the slough from the main channel and supports willow and
alder thickets and a scattering of white spruce and cottonwood trees.
C-1
Study site methods
The streambed elevation at the upstream end of the slough was surveyed
to establish the stage required to overtop the slough. A staff gage
was placed just upstream in the mainstem. Dewatering of the slough
was observed during the late August field trip. The corresponding
flow in the mainstem was evaluated at Tree Bar Reach. A thalweg
profile was surveyed through the length of the slough. A transect was
surveyed near the mouth to assess the streambed elevation required for
the backwater to connect the lower pool with the mainstem. The stage
at Transect 5 of Tree Bar Study Reach was used to determine the
discharge required to create a backwater surface connection with the
two lower pools of the slough.
Aerial photography was used to quantify the surface area associated
with spawning and rearing habitats as a function of streamflow. A
planimeter was used to measure habitat areas associated with a parti-
cular flow condition. Since habitat conditions change with changes in
streamflow, the recurrence intervals were determined for discharge
levels of importance to habitat conditions. Recurrence intervals of
overtopping flows and backwater flows were used to estimate the
percent of time that these specific habitat conditions existed each
month. Monthly and annual flow duration curves based on daily stream-
flow values were used for this analysis.
Streamflow patterns
Mainstem flow in the Bradley River influences aquatic habitats within
Bear Island Slough in several ways. As flows in the mainstem river
increase in the spring, the stage in the mainstem creates a backwater
at the mouth of the slough. This backwater connects the two pools in
the lower portion of the slough to the river at flows of 350 cfs for
the first pool and 560 cfs for the second pool. Based on the stream-
flow records, the lower end of the slough is generally connected to
the river in early May. Both pools are joined to the mainstem river
before the mainstem flows breach the head end of the slough.
C-2
Mainstem flows enter the upper end of Bear Island Slough at flows near
700 cfs. The flow passing through the slough is a very small propor-
tion of the total flow in the river. At flows of 1250 cfs in the
Bradley River, Bear Island Slough carried less than 20 cfs. Based on
flow records, mainstem flows generally breach the upstream entrance of
the slough in late May or early June. Water temperature records
indicate mainstem overflow into Bear Island Slough occurred about
May 28 this year. Water flows through the slough until streamflows
decline in fall.
Some subsurface flow enters the slough. The subsurface flow apparent
in the upstream portion of the slough is turbid. This indicates that
the source is the mainstem Bradley River and the streambed materials
are porous enough to pass the water quickly. An additional source of
subsurface flow is a small intermittent stream that enters the slough
in the upstream portion of the second pool. Subsurface seeps in this
area were noted during Woodward-Clyde's field reconnaissance in late
April 1983.
During April Bear Island Slough contained three discrete pools. The
upper pool was receiving turbid intragravel flow from the Bradley
River, the middle pool was receiving clear water flow from a small
drainage coming off the adjacent uplands and the lower pool, while
turbid, was not receiving any noticeable inflow. On May 2, 1983 the
water temperature in the middle and lower pool was between 7.1-7,6°C
while the adjacent Bradley River was 2.4°C (Figure C-1). The
turbidity in the two large slough pools was between 7-11 ppm while the
turbidity in the Bradley River was 70 ppm. Conductivity was higher in
the slough pool (51-54 micromhos/cm) than in the Bradley River (15
micromhos/cm).
The water in the slough remains turbid even when the surface connec-
tion to the mainstem is severed. This is caused in part by the turbid
nature of the subsurface flow coming from the mainstem. The character
of the glacial sediments carried by the Bradley River also contribute
to the turbidity of the water. A portion of the glacial flour remains
suspended in standing water.

Fish Utilization
Previous sampling by the USFWS indicated that this slough provides
both spawning and rearing habitat for salmon and Dolly Varden char.
During the 1983 field season small numbers of adult salmon, Dolly
Varden adults, juveniles, and Age 0 fish, and juvenile coho salmon
were captured by electrofishing, seining, fyke netting and minnow
trapping. Although adults of all five species of salmon were found
here, Bear Island Slough appeared to have limited use by adult salmon
in 1983. Less than ten ripe and spent chum salmon were captured in
the slough, indicating that some chum salmon spawning may occur here.
Chum salmon spawning habitat seems to be evident in low-velocity
segments with subsurface flow and small substrates. In addition, six
spent chinook salmon were captured during early August, indicating
that chinook salmon spawned in the slough. The other salmon species
appeared to use the slough temporarily. The pink salmon and most of
the sockeye captured in the slough were not ripe. The only ripe
sockeye salmon captured was later found dead and unspawned. Captures
of salmon in fyke nets decreased as flow decreased through the slough
(Table C-1). No adult salmon were captured entering Bear Island
Slough after August 25, 1983. This date corresponds with dewatering
of the slough due to declining mainstem flows below 700 cfs.
Although the field season did not overlap Dolly Varden and coho salmon
spawning activity, some indication of their utilization of this
habitat was collected. The slough appears to provide spawning
habitat for Dolly Varden. Maturing Dolly Varden adults and Age 0 were
captured in the slough during August 1983. Age 0 coho salmon were not
captured in the slough, indicating that coho salmon probably do not
spawn in this area.
Bear Island Slough provides summer and winter rearing habitat for
juvenile salmonids, primarily Dolly Varden. Juvenile Dolly Varden
consistently dominated the juvenile salmonid catches by baited minnow
traps during April, June and early and late August, 1983. During the
late April field season, flows had not increased sufficiently to
C-6
connect the mainstem with the two lower slough pools. Fish in the
pools probably had overwintered there. The mean catch of Dolly Varden
in the middle pool was 16.3 fish per 24 hr while in the lower pool the
mean catch of Dolly Varden was 2.2 fish per 24 hr. The mean catch of
Dolly Varden in the mainstem during the same period was 0.96 per 24
hrs. The same values for coho juveniles were 0.8 per 24 hrs in the
middle pools, 1.7 in the lower pool and 0.11 in the adjacent mainstem.
Considerably lower densities of juvenile coho salmon occupied Bear
Island Slough during the summer and winter, and no Age 0 coho salmon
were captured. The upper riffle-pool reach of the slough provides
rearing habitat for juvenile Dolly Varden and the large lower pools
are occupied by Age 0 Dolly Varden, juvenile Dolly Varden and coho
salmon. Coho salmon juveniles were found in deeper low-velocity areas
with cover. Age 0 Dolly Varden were found in shallow side pools with
small debris-covered substrate adjacent to boulders. Juvenile Dolly
Varden were most abundant along shallow edges of pools with no cover.
Results and Discussion
Summer Rearing Habitat. The amount of summer rearing habitat in Bear
Island Slough was quantified by measuring the surface area from the
mouth of the slough to the furthest upstream extension of the upper
pool at a Bradley River flow of 970 cfs. A flow of 970 cfs is
slightly less than the average of the mean monthly flow for June-
September (1034 cfs). Habitat measured at this flow is an indication
of persistent long-term summer rearing conditions. This 39,150 sq ft
area was found to be the major juvenile use area during field
sampling. Numbers of captured juveniles decreased markedly upstream
of this area.
Table C-2 provides information on the percent of time that flows in
the mainstem provide backwater surface water elevations sufficient to
allow access for fish into the upper and lower pools (560 cfs and 350
cfs respectively). The lower pool (15,050 ft 2 ) would be accessible to
juveniles during 40 percent ( 4. 8 months) of an average year. The
upper portion (24, 100 ft 2 ) would be made accessible approximately

30 percent (3.6 months) of an average year. Both pools would normally
have water levels high enough to allow fish movement from June through
September. During project operation, access to this habitat would be
the eliminated. Since few juvenile coho salmon utilize this area for
rearing, the major effect would be loss of Dolly Varden summer rearing
habitat.
Overwintering Habitat. The two lower pools provide overwintering
habitat for juvenile coho salmon and Dolly Varden. This habitat was
quantified by the surface area of these two pools with no mainstem
influence. The downstream pool has a surface area of approximately
9, 400 ft 2 during the winter. The upper pool has a surface area of
2 8,000 ft ..
The two pools will become inaccessible to fish in the late summer and
fall because of the lower flows during project operation. Because of
inaccessibility these overwintering areas would be lost at operational
flows.
Spawning Habitat. Examination of substrate within Bear Island Slough
during low flow conditions in late April, 1983 revealed that the
second pool upstream of the mouth (upper pool) was the only area
suitable for salmonid spawning. Habitats upstream of this pool are
unsuitable due to large substrates including cobble and boulder.
Spawning would probably be precluded in the lower pool because of the
sand and silt substrate.
The surface of the upper pool at high flow is approximately 24,100
sq ft as measured from aerial photography. Table C-2 shows the
exceedance level of overtopping flows into Bear Island Slough as
determined from monthly and annual flow duration curves. Mainstem
flows exceeding 700 cfs are required to overtop the slough and thus
create spawning habitat. Since chum salmon and chinook salmon are
suspected of spawning in the slough, the months of July, August and
September are most important in this analysis. During July and August
the slough is overtopped 99 percent and 93 percent of the time,
C-9
respectively. About 24,100 ft 2 of spawning habitat is available to
fish during these two months. September data show that the slough is
overtopped by mainstem flows 54 percent of the time. A review of
daily discharge hydrographs indicates that this reflects the year-
to-year variation in flow more than a reduction of flow through the
month. Thus, on the average, one might expect flow through the slough
in September every other year.
Since project flows are expected to be in the range of 100 to 150 cfs
during spawning period, spawning habitat in the slough will be lost.
However, salmon spawning is minimal in this area as described in the
fish utilization section. The impact on salmon spawning habitat would
be the loss of this area to chinook salmon during the months of July
and August and to the later spawning chum salmon in August and
September. It would appear that Dolly Varden spawning would be
impac~ed to a greater extent.
SHORT SLOUGH
Site Description
Short Slough enters the Bradley River at RM 3.8. The 450 foot-long,
relatively straight slough has steep silt banks, approximately eight
feet high. Channel width ranges from 2 to 4 ft in the runs and from 8
to 15 ft in the pools. Bankside vegetation consists entirely of tall
grasses and sedges that overhang much of the channel. Banks undercut
by tidal action are common along the slough. A mud and silt substrate
is uniform throughout the reach.
Slough habitats are influenced by the stage in the mainstem and tidal
action. During summer flows, at low tide, the mouth of the slough is
backwatered by the mainstem. The extent of the backwater is con-
trolled by the stage in the mainstem Bradley River. During much of
the summer, at mainstem flows of 700 cfs, approximately the first 200
feet of the slough was affected by the mainstem. Upstream of the
backwater, the slough is a slow moving run with numerous small pools.
C-10
At its head end the slough widens into a large pool approximately 3 to
4 ft. deep. A small surface drainage cascades into the upstream end
of the pool (see Figure C-3). At high tide the entire slough becomes
a deep, backwater area. Channel width is approximately 10 to 20 ft.
and depths range from 4 to 8 ft.
Physical Characteristics
Short Slough drains the surrounding wetlands of the Kachemak Bay tidal
flats. At low tide, the slough carries a small discharge (less than 1
cfs) of tannic-colored water. Water enters the slough from a small
surface drainage at the head of the upstream pool and from seepage
along the banks. Turbid water from the Bradley River inundates the
slough at each high tide. Even at lower high tides, the turbid water
generally extends to the upper pool, which often retains turbid water
between high tide cycles.
Water quality characteristics of Short Slough are influenced by the
tidal action. At low tide, summer water temperatures in the slough
ranged from 10 to l4°C. Dissolved oxygen was generally below satura-
tion, ranging from 7.4 to 9.0 mg/1. Conductivities ranged from 600 to
700 micromhos implying salinities less than 0.1 ppt. At high tide,
the water quality characteristic in the sloughs resembled those in the
lower Bradley River. Temperatures were lower, generally from 8 to
10°C, while dissolved oxygen is near saturation. At high discharges
(1200 cfs) conductivities were low, 30 to 50 micromhos, indicating
salt-free water. Water quality characteristics did not appear to
limit utilization of these habitats by young fish.
Fish Utilization
This slough was utilized mainly by young coho salmon and Dolly Varden.
Three species of sculpins and two species of sticklebacks also
occupied this slough. No adult salmon were observed in the slough at
low tide and no suitable spawning areas occur. Adult salmon may use
the mouth of the slough as a holding area, but none were observed.

C-13
Young coho salmon were the most abundant species. Both Age 0 and
older juveniles were captured in this site, but during August Age 0
coho were considerably more abundant than older rearing fish. This
was the furthest upstream sampling station where Age 0 coho salmon
were encountered. Dolly Varden juveniles were also relatively
abundant.
Study Site Methods
Project operation will reduce mainstem water surface elevations in the
summer and fall. Thus the backwater would be expected to decrease in
size and upstream extent. To determine the relationship between the
extent of backwater and mainstem stage, a staff gage was installed
near the mouth of the slough. During the field surveys the upstream
extent of the backwater was correlated to the staff gage reading. A
rating curve was constructed for the staff gage based on discharge at
Tree Bar Reach. This rating curve was used to predict the stage at
lower flows and to determine the extent of the backwater at the mouth
of the slough.
Tidal influence was estimated by using a crest gage in Long Slough and
Fox Farm Creek to measure water surface elevations at high tides.
Tide heights evaluated included 19.0 ft. (exceeded 20 percent of the
time during August), 17.2 ft. (exceeded 50 percent of the time in
August), and 15.2 ft. (exceeded 80 percent of the time in August),
Results and Discussion
Analysis of staff gage data show that water depths within Short Slough
decrease by about 1.7 ft as Bradley River flows at Tree Bar decrease
from 1,350 cfs to about 250 cfs. An additional 0.2 ft reduction in
stage occurs as flows decrease from 250 to 100 cfs. The upstream
extent of the turbid backwater within Short Slough also decreases with
flow (Figure C-4). At approximately 1000 cfs, the backwater extends
the entire length of Short Slough; at about 600 cfs the backwater
extends to the lower one-half of the slough; at 250 cfs the backwater
extends 50 ft. into the slough while at 100 cfs, no backwater exists.
C-14
Under project conditions, no backwater would exist in this slough
during the open-water season. This would probably have little effect
on the rearing habitat as fish did not appear to exhibit a preference
for the turbid backwater zone. The daily inundation by the tide may
have more influence on habitat than the mainstem stage. During the
open-water season, the high tide backs up freshwater into slough
habitats. Since this water has greater amounts of dissolved oxygen
and lower salinity, the backwater effect may serve to enhance the
water quality in the sloughs.
The duration of high tide in this area is approximately three to four
hours. Since the upper pool serves as a catchment basin for the tidal
backwater, the effects of the tide may last longer than the duration
of the tide.
LONG SLOUGH
Site Description
Long Slough is a 0.5 mile-long slough that enters the Bradley River at
RM 3.5, 0.3 miles downstream from Short Slough. The lower 300 ft of
Long Slough resembles habitat in Short Slough. The upper portion
resembles a small tributary and is a free flowing system except when
influenced by high tides. At tides of 18 ft and greater, the entire
slough is inundated by the tidal backwater.
The channel consists of straight sections approximately 100 ft in
length connected by gentle bends of about the same length. The steep
banks are composed of silt and are vegetated by grasses and sedges
that overhang the channel. Banks undercut by seepage and tidal action
are common.
The mouth of the slough, as well as the area immediately upstream, is
generally a backwater area, the extent of which is controlled by
mainstem flows. Above the backwater, the slough is characterized by a
riffle-pool habitat. The banks are generally 8 to 10 feet high in the
C-15
lower segment of the slough (Figure C-5). Top width at low tide
ranges from 8 to 15 feet in the pools and from 2 to 4 ft in the
riffles and runs. Depths are generally less than 2-3 ft. The
substrate in the lower segment is silt and silt covered gravels
The channel of the upper portion of the slough is narrower and
shallower than the lower portion. Banks are generally 3 to 6 ft high
and the channel width is 2 to 3 ft. The overhanging tall grasses and
sedges cover most of the stream channel. The riffle-pool sequence
continues to the headwaters of the slough. The substrate in this
section is composed of small gravel and sands. Large portions of the
streambed were covered by algae.
Physical Characteristics
Long Slough carries tannic colored water originating in the peat
wetlands of the Bradley River tidal flats. Several small drainages
entering Long Slough carry flow as the tidal backwater recedes. Long
Slough also receives subsurface flow from several isolated ponds in
the upper portion of its drainage. These ponds are inundated and
recharged during high tides. Discharges in Long Slough under low tide
conditions are usually less than 2 cfs.
At high tide, portions of Long Slough are inundated by tidal back-
water altering the character of the habitats.
inundation depends on the height of the tide.
Fish Utilization
The extent of the
Habitat utilization of Long Slough by fish was similar to that found
in Short Slough. The primary importance of the slough appears to be
in providing summer rearing habitat. Young coho salmon were
encountered during early and late August and both Age 0 and older
juveniles were captured. In late August, Dolly Varden juveniles,
sculpins, and sticklebacks were also common. Chum salmon fry were

c-17
found in this slough in early June. In addition, Age 0 Dolly Varden
were found in upper Long Slough in August. Like Short Slough, the
lowest section is suitable for use by adult salmon as a holding area,
but no adult salmonids were found in the slough.
Study Site Methods
Backwater effects by mainstem flow were evaluated by installing a
backwater staff gage approximately 200 feet from the mouth of Long
Slough (Figure C-6). A relationship was then formed from water
surface elevations indicated by the staff gage readings and flow in
the Bradley River at Tree Bar Reach. Field observations were then
made to determine how far upstream the mainstem backwater extended.
Tidal influence on Long Slough was investigated by placing a crest
gage next to the backwater staff gage. Water surface elevations
caused by mainstem backwater were then compared with water surface
elevations as influenced by tides. Water quality measurements were
also taken in the slough. Temperature was monitored throughout the
study period in the slough and mainstem. Dissolved oxygen and
conductivity were taken at most minnow trap locations during the late
August field trip. Water samples were taken at two locations in the
slough during late August.
Results and Discussion
Water surface elevation within the Long Slough backwater area is
controlled by the elevation of the water surface of the mainstem.
Thus, slough water surface elevation changes as a function of mainstem
elevations. Observations of the extent that turbid mainstem water
intruded Long Slough give an estimation of this backwater habitat. At
mainstem flow of 1,000 cfs the backwater extended approximately
700 feet upstream from the mouth of the slough. At 600 cfs mainstem
flow the backwater was estimated to extend 400 feet upstream, and at
mainstem flow of 250 cfs, the backwater extended 150 feet.
Post-project flows will be considerably less than 250 cfs, thus
eliminating this backwater effect in Long Slough.

on Long Slough.
C-19
Long Slough is subjected to tidal influence on a twice daily basis.
Tidal effect ranges from total inundation at a 17 ft high tide to no
effect at low tide. An 18.8 ft tide at Seldovia on August 26, 1983
increased the water elevation at the staff/crest gage location in Long
Slough by approximately 8 ft. The backwater in Long Slough from this
tide extended to a point about 2000 ft upstream.
Water quality patterns within slough habitats were found to be very
dynamic and at times quite complicated. The normal run-off and
seepage through adjacent peat bogs is influenced by tidal and mainstem
backwaters. Under low-tide conditions, the water quality of the mid
and upper portions of Long Slough appears to limit utilization of fish
rearing habitat. On two occasions in early May, sticklebacks captured
in minnow traps set in the middle reach of Long Slough died. In early
August 1983 all fish captured in three minnow traps set in the upper
section of Long Slough died. Species affected were juvenile coho
salmon, adult sticklebacks and sculpins. In the late August field
sampling, two dead juvenile coho were found in the middle reach of the
slough. Upstream and downstream traps did not incur mortalities in
any of these instances. In early August, dissolved oxygen of 7.4 mg/1
and water temperature of l2°C were measured during low tide at the
location of the fish kills. These values are within the tolerance
ranges of these fish. The temperature in the slough was generally
warmer than in the mainstem and conductivities were high, 880 micro
mhos. Water samples were collected and all measured parameters
appeared to be within normal ranges. There are no additional site
characteristics that imply parameters other than local water quality
would have caused these mortalities. The specific water quality
problem has not been identified.
FOX FARM CREEK
Site Description
Fox Farm Creek is a small tributary that enters the Bradley River near
RM 2. 9. It is a steep gradient stream that flows through a dense
C-20
spruce forest. Average channel width is estimated to be from 6 to 10
ft wide. Log debris and large boulders are common in the stream
channel. The substrate appears to be predominately large cobbles but
numerous pockets of small gravels exist within tails of pools.
Approximately 900 ft upstream from its confluence with the Bradley
River, the gradient flattens and Fox Farm Creek begins to meander
across the Kachemak Bay tide flats (Figure C-7). The substrate
particle size grades into small cobbles and gravels and log debris is
still abundant. The channel width increases to 15 to 20 ft. Stream
banks are vertical and composed of silt with overhanging grasses and
sedges. The lower 900-ft stream segment is greatly influenced by tide
and resembles Long and Short sloughs in channel shape and width.
The portion of stream from 500 to 900 ft upstream from its mouth has a
riffle-shallow pool sequence of habitat. The substLate is large and
medium gravels with silt and detritus in the bottom of pools. Two
pools are found in this segment approximately 700 and 800 ft upstream
from the mouth. These 1-2 ft deep pools have deeply undercut banks
with considerable amounts of log debris and submerged tree roots.
Pools increase in depth in the lower 500 ft of stream to 2-3 ft.
Tidal backwater allows deposition of sediment over the substrates in
this reach. Some of the silts deposited on the stream bed are removed
by streamflow during low tide. The vertical banks increase in height
to 6 to 8 ft.
Streamflow Patterns
Fox Farm Creek probably has near-zero flow during the winter months.
Flow likely increases to a peak in May or June resulting from the
melting snowpack and then fluctuates through the summer and fall in
response to rainfall events. It is anticipated that near-surface
bedrock and steep drainage basin slopes cause rapid response to
rainfall events with low base flow between events.

Surface runoff from rain in the summer and fall controls the wetted
area of the upstream section. This is particularly true in the
section of stream that is the transition from tidal floodplain (850 -
900 ft upstream). At low water levels this section is reduced to
subsurface flows.
The lower section drains tidal wetlands at low tide. A small surface
drainage enters the middle part of this section on the right bank.
The tidal backwater from a 20-ft high tide at Seldovia extends to the
edge of the spruce forest, bringing with it turbid water from the
mainstem Bradley River. A backwater extends 100-150 ft. upstream from
the mouth at low tides and high mainstem flow. Under project
operation the decrease in mainstem Bradley River flows would result in
shallow depths in the lower portion of Fox Farm Creek at low tide.
Fish Utilization
Fox Farm Creek is the only Bradley River tributary that provides
salmon spawning habitat. In August 1983, pink salmon were observed
spawning principally in gravel areas encompassing a 500-ft section of
stream, beginning 400 ft upstream of the mouth. Some suitable
spawning habitat was available above this area, but low streamflows
over a 100-ft riffle prevented upstream passage of adult salmon. An
occasional adult chum was observed in the lower section. Sculpins
were found throughout the study site and starry flounder were found
near the mouth.
Age 0 coho salmon were abundant in upstream areas with overhead and
object cover. Large schools occupied pool areas with deeply undercut
banks. Above the pool areas with the spruce overstory they were found
in side pools or using large cobble and log debris. Age 0 coho were
especially abundant in this upper section in August. Dolly Varden
juveniles were encountered throughout the reach. A few Age 0 Dolly
Varden were captured in upstream areas.
C-23
Study Site Methods
The lower portion of Fox Farm Creek was evaluated to assess the
influence of mainstem discharge and tidal fluctuations on passage of
adult salmon into this tributary. A thalweg profile was used to
define the riffles that may be a problem for fish passage. Water
surface elevations were surveyed at the mouth of Fox Farm Creek to
correspond with mainstem flows of 600 cfs and 1080 cfs. Water surface
elevations were estimated from aerial photography for mainstem flows
of 50 and 250 cfs. These data were used to estimate the effect of
mainstem discharge on water depths in the mouth of Fox Farm Creek.
The influence of tide on water depths in the creek was assessed by
developing a correlation between tide height and water surface
elevations in Fox Farm Creek. A crest gage was placed approximately
200 ft upstream of the tributary mouth to record water surface
elevations at high tide. Seldovia tides were correlated with crest
gage readings.
Results
Effects of mainstem backwater on Fox Farm Creek can be observed by a
clearwater "plug" that is formed. The clearwater plug is formed at
the mouth of the tributary when flows in the mainstem reach 250 to
300 cfs. At flows less than this a clearwater wedge or stream can be
seen entering the turbid waters of the Bradley River. Flows more than
250 to 300 cfs in the mainstem move this clearwater plug further
upstream in the mouth of Fox Farm Creek. Thus, it is likely that
pre-project flows during August and September will cause a backwater
in the mouth of the stream, whereas operational flows will not.
Entrance conditions at the mouth of Fox Farm Creek for different
estimated mainstem flows are shown in Figure C-8. Long-term average
monthly flows for August and September in the Bradley River are 1150
and 730 cfs, respectively. Two reaches can be identified as potential
passage problems at operational flows of 100 cfs. One is a 25 ft long
riffle with a gradient of 120 ft/mi located 160 to 185 ft upstream

from the mouth. The other is across the delta at the mouth of the
stream; it extends 39 and 53 ft upstream and downstream from the mouth
on an average gradient of 20 ft/mi. Upstream of these passage reaches
is another reach that is not inundated under median monthly
pre-project flows; it is 19 ft long with a gradient of 216 ft/mi
located 211-230 ft upstream from the mouth.
Tides also influence passage reaches in the Fox Farm Creek (Figure
C-9). Seldovia tides greater than approximately 13.5 ft. will likely
inundate the three passage reaches discussed above; such a tide height
is exceeded by approximately 90 percent of the high tides. Tide
heights of approximately 12.5 ft would inundate the two lower reaches
that would be potential passage problems at low flows; this tide is
nearly always exceeded twice daily. Thus, although post-project flows
will create two reaches with potential passage problems, the tidal
regime in Kachemak Bay is such that access would be provided past the
problem reaches at nearly every high tide during the August-September
spawning period.

FIELD SAMPLING AND
DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
FIELD SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
FISH PROGRAM
Sampling effort focused on (1) delineating pink and chum salmon
spawning areas and (2) identifying habitat use by juvenile coho
salmon.
Distribution, relative abundance, and habitat utilization data were
collected throughout the study area (RM 2.9 to 5.2) during four
week-long field sessions in late April, early June, early August and
late August. The sampling effort focused on adult and juvenile salmon
but the incidental collection of other species was recorded. Data
collection for habitat utilization and distribution centered on seven
study sites: three mainstem areas, and four tributary and slough
areas. Additional stations were sampled to address the range of
habitat conditions present in the lower Bradley River.
Distribution and Abundance
Adult distribution and relative abundance was determined by
electrofishing and fyke netting. Mainstem habitats were sampled
primarily with a Smith-Root Model VI-A boat-mounted electro shocker,
used in a pulsating DC mode. Reconnaissance sampling to locate
concentrations of adult salmon was conducted throughout the lower
Bradley River on both August field sessions (Figure D-1). Where
concentrations of fish were located, detailed sampling was conducted
to determine specific habitat utilization by spawning salmon.

Fyke nets were used to supplement electrofishing data on adult
distribution. Fyke nets consisted of stainless steel 4 x 6 ft trap
frames, flanked by wings approximately 50 ft long; the wings were
covered with 1.0 inch bar mesh. The trap portion was constructed of
0.5 inch bar mesh knotless nylon with two funnels. Fyke nets were
fished in Fox Farm Creek (RM 2.9), in Bear Island Slough (RM 5.1), in
the mainstem Bradley River near Hooligan Slough (RM 3.9), and in Eagle
Nest Pool (RM 4.5).
The nets were set in less than 4 ft of water in velocities of
approximately 3.0 ft/s or less. The mouth was
catch fish moving upstream. Fish were removed
open downstream to
from the cod-end,
processed and released upstream of the wings. Adult salmonids were
identified, and sexed if possible, and reproductive condition noted.
Fyke nets were also successful in retaining large juvenile salmonids.
Juveniles were identified and measured to nearest millimeter (total
length).
Visual observations were made of adults in Fox Farm Creek. Two foot
surveys were conducted during the late August field trip to enumerate
spawning salmon.
Juvenile salmon distribution was determined by minnow trapping, seine,
modified trawl and backpack electrofisher. Relative abundance of
young coho and chinook salmon and Dolly Varden was determined through
minnow trapping. Standard 17 x 9 inch traps with 1/4-inch and
1/8-inch mesh were deployed in each trapping station overnight for
two, approximately 24 hour, sets. Traps were emptied and rebaited
after 24 hours. Eight to ten traps were fished at established
stations during all four field sessions (Figure D-2). Two additional
stations, Muka-Muka Creek and Slippery Slough were sampled with six
traps each during the late August field trip. Juvenile salmonids were
measured to the nearest millimeter (total length) and lifestage and
species recorded.

A modified otter trawl was used in April and June 1983 to sample
outmigrants. The boards were removed and the otter trawl was placed
in the Riffle Reach (RM 4.7) facing upstream. The opening was 3 yd 2
and the body had a l-inch stretch mesh with an l/8-inch mesh liner in
the cod-end. The trawl was fished in water depths of 2. 0 ft and
velocities of 2.5 ft/sec.
Habitat Utilization
Habitat utilization information was needed to develop habitat criteria
for use in simulation modeling. Spawning areas of adult salmon were
located by electrofishing. Spawning activity was determined on the
basis of criteria used in similar efforts in the Susitna River (ADF&G
1982):
1. fish exhibits spawning morphology and expels eggs or milt when
slight pressure is exerted on the abdomen
2. fish is in vigorous condition with eggs or milt remaining in the
body cavity
3. fish of both sexes are collected in the segment sampled.
Where spawning activity is identified, point measurements were taken
along transects to describe the existing hydraulic conditions in the
habitat sampled. A Marsh McBirney 201 electromagnetic current meter
and a 4-ft topset wading rod were used to obtain measurements of depth
and mean column velocity. Where available, substrate maps prepared at
lower flows were used to characterize substrates composition. In
other areas, mean particle size of substrates were evaluated in the
field from samples obtained using a post hole digger. Measurements
were also obtained to define the characteristics of the available
habitat in adjacent segments that were not utilized by spawning
salmon.

During electrofishing two people collected stunned fish by dip net as
one person noted relative numbers of fish shocked. Netted fish were
place in a live well inside the boat for identification and an
assessment of reproductive condition. A numbered float on a lead line
was dropped to mark locations of concentrations of spawning fish.
Captured fish were examined for reproductive condition, sex and
species, then released.
A Smith-Root Model XV backpack electrofisher was used in areas
inaccessible to the boat shocker to assess habitat utilization of
spawning and rearing fish habitat. The shocker was particularly well
suited for locating fish in riffles and in water depths less than 3 ft
with log debris or large substrate where seining was impractical. To
avoid driving fish by continuously energizing the electrodes, discrete
spot applications of the electrical field were made throughout the
reach. Sampling began at the lower end of the reach and slowly
proceeded upstream. One person operated the portable electrofisher as
two ~eople collected the stunned fish with dip nets. Fish were placed
in a bucket with water, identified and then measured after each area
was sampled. These areas included Bear Island Slough (RM 5.1), Tree
Bar Reach (RM 5.0), Riffle Reach (RM 4.7), Cut-Off Slough (RM 4.5),
Eagle Pool (RM 4.5), and Fox Farm Creek (RM 2.9). Point measurement
of depth, velocity and substrate or cover were obtained at the point
the fish was first seen.
In addition to electrofishing, seines were used principally to collect
juvenile fish within sloughs, overflow channels and stream margins.
These seines were 3/8-inch mesh, 5.5 ft deep and up to 25 ft long.
Since it is not possible to determine the actual location of
individual fish captured by this method, it is important to ensure
that a relatively small, homogeneous unit of habitat is sampled by a
single seine haul. A short haul was made quickly with minimal
disturbance. Captured fish were measured, counted, identified to
species and placed in a water-filled container so that they could be
released after the stream reach was sampled. Several sets of physical
measurements were obtained at locations within the area swept by the
seine haul to characterize the range of habitat conditions present.

HYDROLOGY PROGRAM
The two mainstem study sites were evaluated using the IFIM hydraulic
models (IFG-2 and IFG-4) described by Milhous et al. (1981). The
models selected for each reach were determined based on site
characteristics. Since the flow conditions in the upper river segment
at Tree Bar Study Reach (RM 5.9 to RM 5.2) include rapidly varied flow
conditions, the IFG-4 model was used to analyze this reach. The IFG-2
model is not applicable to rapidly varied flow. Transects above the
lowest transect in this reach were positioned to characterize the
general cross-sectional shape and longitudinal streambed profile
within the study reach. Additional transects were also selected to
ensure definition of typical conditions within the study reach.
Hydraulic field data were collected using techniques prescribed in
Trihey (1980) and Wilson et al. (1981). A staff gage, comprised of a
surveying rod facing attached to a steel fencepost driven into the
streambed, was installed at each study reach. The staff gage provided
an index to streamflow at the site.
The IFG-2 model was used at the Riffle Reach study site as this
segment is affected by tidal influence. The IFG-2 model can predict
depth and velocities in a back water situation while the IFG-4 model
does not have this capability.
For study sites analyzed using the IFG-4 models, three full sets of
calibration flows were collected. Since the analysis included an
evaluation of tidal influence on the IFG-2 site, four calibration
flows were collected in the middle segment to describe the water
surface elevation and velocities for two discharges under a high and a
low tide.
Substrate and cover conditions were evaluated at each transect.
Substrate was classified by mean particle diameter using a substrate
scale adapted from Wilson et al. (1981). A simple cover code will be
used to describe the presence of cover.

Measurements were also taken to describe the range conditions present
in the sampling area. Frequency analyses of the habitat
characteristics of the fish locations were compared to those of
available habitat similar to techniques used in Wilson et al (1981).
Percent occurrence of utilized habitat was compared with the percent
occurrence of available habitat to determine preference. Preference
was assumed if the percent utilization was greater that the percent
occurrence of that value in the available habitat (Wilson et al.
1981) .
Habitat Data
The incremental method utilizes habitat criteria to translate physical
characteristics into an index of fish habitat availability. The
criteria is generally a curvilinear mathematical function representing
the response of a species/life stage (e.g., coho salmon juvenile) to a
streamflow dependent variable (e.g., velocity). The curves are used
within an analytical framework to represent the suitability of each
flow-dependent variable as an element of the physical habitat
requirements of the species/life stage of interest.
These curves are based on the assumption that individual fish tend to
inhabit the most favorable microhabitat conditions within the total
range of conditions represent. They will use less favorable
conditions with lesser frequency and will eventually leave the area,
D-8
if possible, before microhabitat conditions become lethal. It is
further assumed that individual fish will be most frequently observed
inhabiting their most preferred habitat conditions (i.e., frequency of
observations is accepted as being indicative of preferred habitat
utilization).
Habitat utilization criteria were developed for selected salmonid life
stages known to inhabit the Bradley River. Curves were developed for
spawning pink and chum salmon with respect to three variables--depth,
velocity, and substrate (Appendix A). Fry and juvenile curves were
developed for coho salmon with reference to depth, velocity, and cover
(Appendix A).
Preliminary criteria were developed from literature review, published
criteria from Terror Lake and Susitna Hydroelectric projects and
Willow and Deception C~eeks, and professional opinions of area
biologists. The preliminary criteria were verified using field
observations collected during the 1983 studies. Habitat
characteristics (depth, velocity, substrate, and cover) were recorded
at each fish location to develop a habitat utilization function

al. (1981).
The habitat
parameters of the fish locations were compared to those of available
habitat but a rigorous analysis of utilization and availability was
not undertaken due to the difficulty of pin pointing the location of
the fish in glacial water.
Physical Habitat Simulation
Habitat utilization criteria and hydraulic models were used to
generate weighted usable area (WUA) as a function of discharge. WUA
is calculated through the following four-step process: (1) the total
surface area within the study reach is divided into a number of cells
and the depth-velocity combination calculated for· each cell with
respect to substrate at a given streamflow; (2) a weighting factor is
obtained from the habitat utilization curves for each of the flow-
D-9
dependent variables (depth, velocity, and substrate), and a composite
weighting factor is calculated for each cell; (3) the total surface
area of each cell is multiplied by its respective composite weighting
factor; and (4) the resultant surface areas are totalled to provide an
index of habitat availability within the study reach for each species/
life stage being analyzed.
Calculation of WUA does not totally describe the actual quantity or
quality of available fish habitat. It does, however, provide a
structured analytical approach for utilizing commonly recognized
streamflow dependent microhabitat conditions to describe fish habitat
in riverine environments. Thus, a change in WUA can generally be
accepted as a good indicator of the effect a change in streamflow
would have on fish habitat. This parameter was used to evaluate the
potential effects of the proposed Bradley Lake hydroelectric project
on selected fish habitats in the lower Bradley River, and to select
potential flow regimes that will reduce the identified effects.
