There being no public comment, the meeting continued to the next agenda item.
4. AGENDA COMMENTS
The meeting agenda was approved as submitted.
A. REPORT ON TUNNEL
At this time, to facilitate Mr. Wick's busy schedule, Burke Wick, a Civil
Engineer with Chugach Electric, provided a report on the Bradley Lake
tunnel. Inspections on April 9, 1992 and April 11, 1992 revealed no
severe problems. Most material found was only grout which is brittle,
light, and unlikely to cause damage. The loose grout came from areas
that were repaired during construction of the liner (because high inflows
of water were present.) Large pieces of grout that could still possibly
break loose were not expected to travel the length of the tunnel and reach
the units. Mr. Wick noted that the problems with the liner would not
affect the structural nature of the tunnel and that the project appeared to be in fine condition.
5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
The minutes of the March 26, 1992 meeting were approved as corrected.
6. TECHNICAL COORDINATION SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Dave Burlingame distributed a synopsis of the last TCS meeting held April 13, 1992 (Attachment A).
7. INSURANCE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Brent Petrie reported that the Insurance Subcommittee was reviewing the shop
and crew facilities insurance coverage. In May 1991 construction funds were
BPMC Meeting
April 28, 1992
Page 3 of 6
used to purchase $2,900,000 of coverage for a $26,000 premium. The 1992 value is $3,000,000 and a $24,000 premium. The deductible on this policy is $10,000.
These facilities are covered under the project's umbrella policy. However, this
policy has a deductible of $1,000,000 with 5% for earthquake and flood.
The premium is available to be paid from the current year budget. The effect
would be $24,000 less in carryover. Without this additional coverage any loss
up to $1,000,000 would be covered by a renewal and contingency fund
established for such purposes.
Ron Saxton reviewed the options available to the committee. The BPMC could choose not to renew the policy and thus acknowledge that they would be self-
insuring up to $1,000,000. The alternative is to pay the renewal premium and
thus lower the deductible on the shop and crew facilities to $10,000 ($50,000
for earthquake and flood).
Chairman Kelly entertained a motion by Mr. Norm Story and seconded by Mr.
Paul Diener. This motion ed for approval of the expenditure of $24 for
the insurance premium.
Tom Stahr stated that he thought the BPMC should not pay for the extra
insurance. Chairman Kelly expressed his concern that the Insurance
Subcommittee had not reviewed this issue. Dave Eberle suggested that in the
interest of self-insurance this $24,000 annual premium could be paid directly
into the renewal and contingency fund.
Chairman Kelly made a motion to table this discussion and to assign this item to
the Insurance Subcommittee for review of options and a recommendation for the
BPMC at the next meeting. Tom Stahr seconded the motion and asked that the
option of not renewing the insurance and not increasing the contingency fund
also be reviewed.
Mr. Petrie said that he would call a meeting within the next two weeks. If the
Insurance Subcommittee feels strongly that the insurance should not lapse,
Chairman Kelly will call a special BPMC meeting to address the issue.
Brent Petrie reported that business interruption insurance was now an option since the project has gathered the required six months of operating history.
Risk Management will have to contact London to obtain a quote for this insurance. There was no further discussion regarding this item.
8. BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Ken Ritchey reported that the Authority prepared budget has been implemented
and notice was sent to the utilities. The budget is the one previously proposed by Alaska Energy Authority with the addition of $25,000 for possible court costs. Ken and Ron Saxton met briefly with Authority representatives the
morning of April 28, 1992 to discuss the issue of overhead costs, but as yet no agreement has been reached. Future talks are planned.
BPMC Meeting

Page 4 of 6

11.
At Chairman Kelly's request Ron Saxton outlined the options regarding the
budget. Ron reported that the initial hurdle of the bond requirements has been
satisfied. One option is for the BPMC to do nothing further and the Authority's
budget will be used. If the utilities wish to have a different budget they can
reach one through negotiation or one can be arrived at through the courts. The Power Sales Agreement outlines what items can be included in the budget and
this would be the framework for the courts. Arbitration is an option only if
three utilities and the Authority agree to arbitration. They would also have to
agree if it will be binding or not.
If the budget disagreement is not settled by July 1, 1992 the Authority's budget will take effect and billings will be based on that budget. However, if at any
later time binding arbitration or a court decides that the budget was not
appropriate, adjustments in payments would then be made to reflect the
changes.
AGREEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Stan Sieczkowski reported that Alaska Energy Authority met with Homer
Electric on March 27, 1992 and drafts of the three agreements were exchanged.
Homer has comments on the Transmission Facility Maintenance Agreement
between AEA and AEG&T, the Facilities Interconnected Dispatch Agreement
between AEA and HEA, and the Soldotna Substation Right-of-Entry
Agreement.
A meeting is planned the week of May 4, 1992. These agreements should be available for review at the next BPMC meeting.
The Communications MOU between the Authority and the State of Alaska
Division of Communications is moving forward.
Chairman Kelly requested that final copies of the three agreements between Alaska Energy Authority and Homer Electric be included in the mail-out for the
next BPMC meeting in order to allow all parties sufficient review time.
OPERATIONS & DISPATCH SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Stan Sieczkowski reported that the Operations and Dispatch (O&D) Subcommittee met April 2, 1992. (Draft meeting minutes will be distributed in
the May BPMC meeting packet.) Discussion is continuing on allocation and
scheduling procedure modifications and include ponding water, accounting of water carried over and methods to use for power allocations. Forecasting of the
power allocations for FY93 is currently underway. The next O&D meeting is scheduled for May 14, 1992.
REVIEW OF PROJECT STATUS
Dave Eberle reported the project was back on line April 25, 1992. Costs are
being totaled and back charges will be made to Enserch. The de-watering
process yielded considerable information. Re-watering the tunnel required ten

days; twice the time anticipated. A full report is being written by Stone and
Webster Engineering Corporation, and the re-watering procedures will be
incorporated into the O&M manuals.
In answer to a question from Ron Saxton, Dave Eberle estimated $200,000 in
total costs for de-watering. Some equipment was purchased for the process and
some rented. Rental fees and temporary labor will likely be recovered. The
costs not recovered will be charged to construction.
The DECnet has been installed and work is proceeding on minor glitches in the
software. A meeting to discuss the efficiency issue is scheduled with Fuji. Current estimates of lost energy range to a high of about $200,000. Fuji
proposes more tests, however AEA hopes to reach a settlement without
additional testing.
ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB) has completed the Soldotna site work for the SVC.
Work is still on hold at Dave's Creek pending receipt of the Forest Service
permit. Ata recent meeting with ABB the goal of finishing work prior to
December 31, 1992 was discussed. This end of year date is three months before the March 1993 contractual date. Simulator tests are scheduled in
Switzerland in July.
OLD BUSINESS
A. ADOPTION OF DISPATCHER GUIDELINES SUMMARY
Dave Burlingame distributed the Dispatch Operations Summary. The
Technical Coordinating Subcommittee unanimously recommended adoption. Mr. Dave Highers motioned, seconded by Mr. Ken Ritchey,
to approve the Dispatch rations Summ The motion wa:
unanimously aj ved LI vote.
B. SPINNING RESERVE/UNDERFREQUENCY LOAD SHEDDING
Tom Lovas reported that the ASCC Reliability Criteria Committee had
met twice since the last BPMC meeting. The task has been clarified and philosophy discussed. The March 31, 1992 meeting developed a framework outline for the overall analysis. Historical as well as target expectations were also identified. The follow-up meeting April 21, 1992
provided further clarification of the philosophy, criteria, and underlying
parameters of any standards. The load shedding study being completed
by Power Technology, Inc. is progressing well. Results are expected by the third week in May. The Intertie Operating Committee has added ten
cases to evaluate certain post-Bradley installations on the load shedding framework. The next meeting is scheduled for the third week in May.
Cc HEA ECONOMY SALES TO GVEA
Norm Story stated that the issue of Homer sales to Golden Valley is
being addressed by a handshake agreement between HEA and GVEA.
Homer is also reviewing a proposal submitted by Chugach Electric.

MODIFICATION OF MINIMUM OPERATING LEVELS
Mr. Story thanked the BPMC for their patience while the issue of Bradley minimum operating levels was addressed.! At this time Norm Story motioned, seconded by Mr. Highers, to lift the existing operating limits of the Bradley project. Brad Evans clarified that those are the
restrictions set by the TCS. There are minimum operating levels set by the Dispatch and Operations Committee of ten megawatts per unit.
These levels would remain under the motion. The motion was
unanimously approved by roll call vote.
NEW BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF COMMITTEE EXPENSES
Brent Petrie distributed a handout on Committee expenses (Attachment B). The only expenses approved at this time for payment are the Ater Wynne charges of $9,734.79. Other expenses will be reviewed and
submitted at the next meeting. Mr. Ritchey motioned, seconded by Mr.
Highers, to approve BPMC expenses of $9,734.79 to Ater Wynne. The
motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote.

ATTACHMENT 'A'
CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC.
Anchorage, Alaska
April 28, 1992
TO: PMC Members
FROM: David W. Burlingame, TCS secretary JT
SUBJECT: April 13, 1992 PMC Meeting Notes
The following is a synopsis of the TCS meeting held April 13, 1992:
Bradley Lake Tunnel
Dave Eberle - Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), presented a video tape
of the tunnel inspection and repair along with a video tape of the
vertical shaft inspection. Dave gave a presentation to the Technical
Coordinating SubCommittee (TCS) on the damage found and the repairs
done to those areas. AEA found that penstock #3 which was believed
to have been filled with rocks was virtually empty as was the rock
trap pond immediately prior to the penstock entrance. The damage was
considered minor by AEA, Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation
(SWEC) and the FERC Board of Directors member who reviewed the video
tape. AEA removed approximately 30-35 five gallon buckets from the
tunnel of loose concrete. The majority of the damage was where the
surface concrete of the liner had been forced inward, resulting in
cracks or faults with the concrete. The deepest of these cracks
appears to have gone 3-4" deep into the 12" concrete liner. The
loose portions of the concrete were pried out of place and removed.
Svc Project Status
Permits for Daves Creek Substation will be obtained by May 21, 1992.
This delay is not expected to delay completion of the total project.
Soldotna is proceeding on schedule. The SVC's are scheduled to be
operational sometime in November for testing with commercial
operation scheduled for March, 1993.
Microwave Link Status
AEA has not heard any new developments since the General Managers
sent a joint letter at the last PMC meeting in an attempt to gain
approval for the funding transfer from AEA to DIVCOM.
Exciter Tests
John Doudna - PTI (Power Technologies, Inc.), gave an explanation of
the exciter tests performed at Bradley Lake. The tests originally
indicated the Fuji exciter did not meet specification, but it was
learned the actual problem was the measuring device used by PTI
during the tests.
PMC Members
April 13, 1992 Meeting Notes
April 28, 1992
Page 2
The Dispatcher Guidelines were approved unanimously and are included as an action item for the PMC approval.
Expanded Bradley Lake Operating Conditions
The TCS considered expanding the operation of Bradley Lake to
essentially allow for operation at 90 MW during any load conditions. Due to concerns with overvoltages and system reliability the TcS did
not recommend the operating procedures be expanded.
The TCS unanimously adopted the following motion:
Move to recommend to the PMC that the interim operating levels
previously adopted by the PMC not be changed. This considers the outcome of additional studies on Kenai operating conditions requested by the PMC at their last meeting.
Bradley Lake Unit Trips

Project Operating Criteria
A. Brad Evans distributed a proposed amendment to the Bradley
Lake Allocation and Scheduling Procedures with the intent to
clarify the present procedures. Specifically addressed was the
issues of borrowing water, end of water year accounting
procedures, scheduling to avoid spill and spilling of project
water.
Each participant is to review this proposal and provide
comments to Chugach.
Bradley Lake Maximum and Minimum Operating Levels
Power allocations are defined within an operating range. After
discussion it was decided that the operating range of the
Bradley Lake level for the 1992-93 water year would be from
1178 feet to 1080 feet.
Inflow Allocation Criteria
It was recommended by Eric Marcheginai to eliminate the 50%
requirement and be more generic in the Allocation and
Scheduling Procedure. The committee was asked to review this
suggestion and bring recommendations to the committee on the
new proposal.
Snow Course
Eric Marcheginai distributed a draft memo addressing the
Snow Course information. From the information he received
from the Soil Conservation Service, the 403,000 MWH is still
valid for the 1992-93 period.

B.
Storing Water Criteria
No comments were received. Eric Marchegiani and Brian
Kingle have been working on the year end accounting. CEA
will draft of the language that will be submitted in the
Allocations and Scheduling Procedures. Brian and Eric
proceeded with examples on how this procedure would take
place. It was stated and stressed that ponded water is the first
and foremost at risk in the case of a spill.
Eric distributed to the committee the Load Forecasting sheet
for the 1992-93 water year. Eric stated that after the end of the
water year (May 31, 1992) a memo will be distributed to the
utilities declaring the amount of ponded water each has and
what their minimum energy takes should be.
Inflow Allocation Requirement
Eric Marcheginai recommended a modification to the
Allocation and Scheduling Procedures Section 4, (c) Project
Allocation. This should be changed to read: "The Initial
Project Energy Shall be determined prior to the beginning of
each Project Water year based on known operating limitations,
forecasted estimates of runoff available from snowpack,
precipitation by the National Weather Service (NWS) for the
50% exceedence probability and/or the mean monthly
discharge (depending upon availability of the information), and
other pertinent factors, and in a manner consistent with the
following:". The committee discussed this proposal at length.

4.3 Energy Allocations
A. Reservoir Operation Model Results due May 15, 1992
Eric Marchegiani stated that all the energy usage reports were
received from the utilities. Based on that information he ran
the model. CEA stated that they did not take into
consideration their ponded water and would like to resubmit
their numbers to reflect their schedule and be consistent with
others to eliminate misunderstanding. All conditions remaining
as assumed, the project should not spill water.
4.4 GVEA Spinning Reserve
Marvin Riddle stated that GVEA will be shutting down the Healy
Plant and Bradley Lake would be their on line source of energy. Doug
Hall distributed a proposal for the reserve requirement during this
period. The committee discussed the technical aspects of this
shutdown. CEA will write up a procedure to follow for these
situations. It was stated that this is not an item for the Operations and
Dispatch Committee but for the Utilities to know what to tell their
dispatchers. This procedure will be issued as an Operation Bulletin.
Committee Action and Recommendation
4.2 (b) Inflow Allocation Requirement The committee recommends to the
Bradley Lake PMC the approval of the language change in the Allocation and
Scheduling Procedures Section 4(c) Project Allocation. It will read as follows:
"The Initial Project Energy shall be determined prior to the beginning of each
Project Water year based on known operating limitations, forecasted
estimates of runoff available from snowpack, precipitation by the National
Weather Service (NWS) for the 50% exceedence probability and/or the mean
monthly discharge (depending upon availability of the information), and other
pertinent factors, and in a manner consistent with the following." It was
moved by Doug Hall and seconded by Marvin Riddle. This passed to
committee unanimously.
The next meeting will be at the Alaska Energy Authority office in Anchorage

Tim McConnell asked for specifics on the trip. Mr. Burlingame stated that a
high tide contributed to the trip and a report will be forthcoming. Brad Evans
related that the immediate feedback on the trip occurred verbally between
control centers. Norm Story said they had enough information to issue a press
release within the hour.
Intertie reporting forms are filed by the tripping utility. Chairman Kelly would
like the appropriate subcommittee to file a written report regarding all forced
outages at Bradley.
de INSURANCE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
The Insurance Subcommittee had nothing to report.
8. BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Budget Subcommittee Chairman Ken Ritchey passed around a narrative
(Attachment A) as well as a copy of the proposed budget (Attachments B and
C). Mr. Ritchey explained the budget proposal in terms of operator's costs and
owner's costs. The budget subcommittee recommended approval. However,
AEA did not concur with the budget being recommended. The primary budget
dispute was related to AEA overhead costs.
After discussion Chairman Kelly asked Ron Saxton to give an opinion as to
where the budget process could go from this point.
Mr. Saxton related that the Power Sales Agreement and the Bond Resolution
require an approved budget 90 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year
(April 2, 1992). If the BPMC fails to adopt a budget prior to April 2, 1992
then the Authority is able to unilaterally adopt a budget. The agreement then
provides that the Authority budget is still subject to all the preservation of rights
to dispute the contents.
The first step is to ensure that there is not a breach of the bond resolution. In
order to avoid a technical default the BPMC needs to be sure that some budget
is in place by April 2, 1992. The options would include some compromise
interim budget or the unilateral budget from the Authority.
Under the Power Sales Agreement, these kinds of deadlocks are subject to
dispute resolution procedures adopted by the BPMC. The procedures in place
say that alternative forms of dispute resolution can be sought if three utilities
and the Authority agree. This option is elective. The other alternative is to go
to court. No payment obligations will be affected until July 1.
BPMC Meeting Minutes
March 26, 1992
Page 4 of 7
At this time Chairman Kelly asked Charlie Bussell what position the Authority
would take. Mr. Bussell passed out the Authority's proposed budget
(Attachment D). Stan Sieczkowski stated that the only difference between the
two budgets is on page 2 line 920 (b).
Chairman Kelly adjourned the meeting for a 15 minute caucus among the utility
managers.
The BPMC reconvened at approximately 11:45 a.m. With the understanding
that negotiations could continue at any time and that a budget would be adopted
by the Authority prior to April 2, 1992, Chairman Kelly moved on to the next
item. Approval of the budget would be formally addressed under New
Business.
9. AGREEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT

OPERATION & DISPATCH SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
Stan Sieczkowski reported that the Operation and Dispatch Subcommittee met
on March 4, 1992. Highlights of this meeting were given and a copy of the
draft meeting minutes were distributed as part of the March 26, 1992 pre-
meeting packet.
The SCADA communications problem is being investigated and is expected to
be resolved. A letter has been sent to the utilities outlining the 231,000
megawatt-hours delivered to the utilities as of February 1992. The forecast for
next year is 403,000 megawatt-hours, an increase from 383,000 megawatt-
hours.
REVIEW OF PROJECT STATUS
Dave Eberle reported that dewatering of the tunnel had begun the day before
(March 25, 1992.) Currently the reservoir is at elevation 830, down about 300
feet. It was noted that higher than anticipated in-flows may slow the dewatering
process. The tunnel should be accessible by March 31, 1992 at which time a
walk through the penstock will be made to check for debris. Inspection is
scheduled for April 3 - 4, 1992. All parties have been notified so they can be
present and three different insurance carriers have been notified. Equipment has
been mobilized for small repairs but other decisions will be required if major
repairs are needed. :
