Current Status:
e Lake level as of July 13 was 1,126.3 feet. The minimum lake level for
the water year was reached on May 224 with a level of 1,103.56 feet.
e Emerson DCS project has progressed from design, kickoff, FAT, to
installation currently. Issues were identified during the FAT with regards
to DNP 3.0 protocol. These issues were worked out at Nikiski and the
installation at Bradley is very similar.
e VA Tech Governor communications upgrade is scheduled for next week
while both Units are offline.
e Review of our monthly electrical and hydraulic report identified problems
that have been resolved with the implementation of a new report and
format.
e Worked with HEA Linemen’s group on updated procedures and
information due to the upcoming removal of the Bradley Junction
switches. The largest concern was to have a point where an air break can
be seen in the insulated substation for LOTO purposes. This can be done
externally on the disconnect switches but not on the breakers.
e Completed Fish Water flow ramp up in May without any issues.
e Conducted review of trainee applications, aptitude tests, and phone
interviews. Andrew Carey was selected for the position. He started on
April 30th as an Operator Trainee.

Work with ML&P Auditors on questions, data requests, and other
reviews. Their final report showed Bradley in compliance with no
findings.
Completed maintenance work on Airport and Barge Dock buildings.
Replacing rotted wood, broken windows, rusted-out doors, repainting,
and roof repairs. Installed “Ice Crickets” on the Warehouse/Shop, and
Crew Quarters buildings to stop damage that has been occurring due to
ice sliding off the roofs.
Delayed installation of a PD Monitoring system due to vendor pricing,
installation labor, and adequate time before outage for delivery. They
also have a newer system coming out this fall that has many features we
would like to have incorporated into our system.
ProComm completed the wireless canopy modules configuration. The first
three links are up and running. Which are the ones need to carry RTU
information to the DCS. The rest of the links will be installed after the
current outage.
Ed Parvin from the USGS on site for flow testing and coordination of
signals between fish water flow monitor signals and the Below the Dam
gauging site. Worked with the USGS for new certified flow curve
equations. The reason for the change is that the new DCS does not use
matrix style lookup tables like the old SCADA system did.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough has put into place new waste disposal
rules. We have been working with their Environmental Coordinator to
get approval for Bradley. We have approval for all of our wastes except
the Incinerator ash. We have to have the ash tested for residual
hydrocarbons and trace contaminants before they will accept it.
Work on the Overhead Crane controls replacement started on June 17*h
and that portion was completed on the 26». The load cells require
custom pins to be manufactured and will be installed when received.
Load testing and certification of the crane will occur in August.
The outage started on July 8». We were delayed 2 days due to
difficulties in getting people and materials on site. The barge delivery
was delayed 5 days. Also, the 4 of July holiday made it more difficult to
get people here to get things started. We are working closely with KECO
to regain schedule wherever possible.
Annual gate testing for FERC is scheduled on July 19%.
Sherwin Williams out of Anchorage will be on site on July 24 to work on
the Diversion Tunnel re-coating project.
Training & Safety:
Qualified Substation Operator annual training completed.
First Aid and CPR annual training.
Fire Extinguisher inspections completed.
Annual Vibration survey completed.
Completed annual fire extinguisher inspections.
