APPENDIX V
This Appendix contains results of temperature simulations for open water
reaches of the Susitna River for natural and with-project conditions.These
simulations were carried out using the SNTEMP model described in a report by
Arctic Environmental Information and Data Center (AEIDC 1983)which was
provided to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)by the Alaska
Power Authori ty (Power Authori ty)on December 5,1983.Initial resu1 t s of
simulations carried out with this model are included in a second report
(AEIDC 1984)provided to FERC on March 9,1984.
The simulations in this Appendix were made in response to the FERC's Request
for Supplemental Information,Exhibit E,Schedule B,No.2.28 of April 12,
1983,a copy of which 1.S attached as Exhibit A to this Appendix.
Additionally,the simulations herein are referenced in the Power Authority's
COIIDnents on FERC's Draft Environmental Impact Statement on the Susitna
Hydroelectric Project (DEIS).The referenced Technical Comments are AQR033,
AQR043,AQR046,AQR066,AQR071,AQR098,AQR099 and AQR109.Simulations were
made for various hydrological and meteorological conditions,for four levels
of project energy demands and for filling of Watana Reservoir.Case C
minimum target flows,as defined in the License Application (p.E-2-57),
were used.Reservoir temperature simulations using the DYRESM model
(Appendix IV)provided the upstream boundary condition for all with-
project runs.Upstream boundary condi tions for natural condi tion
"if
simulations are as described in the reports (AEIDC 1983 and AEIDC 1984).
River temperature simulations have been divided into summer (May 1 to
September 30)and winter (September 1 to April 30)periods for each year
simulated.There is a one month overlap for the two periods.The open
water river temperature simulations have also been coordinated with the
river ice simulations.Open water temperature modeling using SNTEMP
provided the link between the reservoir outlet which was always above DoC,
and the O°C isotherm or the upstream extent of the ice cover,whichever was
further upstream.

If the GOC isotherm were upstream of the ice front,the ICECAL model would
compute the frazil and border ice generated in the open water between the
GOC isotherm and the ice front.If the temperature at the ice front was
above DoC,the ICECAL model would compute the melting of the ice front,the
temperatures in the river downstream of the ice front and the location of
the GOC isotherm under the lce.
For the period November to April,the open-water temperature simulations
provided in this Appendix should always be used in conjunctiort with the ice
simulation for the same period.The SNTEMP model does not .give accurate
temperature simulations under an·lce cover.Therefore,in areas where an
ice cover lS simulated to occur,the temperatures shown in this Appendix
should not be used.The temperatures in this Appendix are valid upstream of
the ice cover.Under the lce cover,the temperatures would be as simulated
by ICECAL and as shown on the plots in Appendix VI.In order to facilitate
coordination between this Appendix and Appendix VI,the approximate
locations of the simulated ice front have been plotted on the exhibits
herein.
The locations of the GOC isotherms shown on the exhibits in this Appendix
and Appendix VI were plotted in different manners.In this Appendix,
locations of GOC were plotted at mid-week of the weeks they were simulated
for and the points were connected.For the ice simulation studies,the mid-
week values were used to represent conditions for the entire week and were
plotted as weekly values.
Open water temperatures were simulated on a weekly average basis.The
upstream boundary conditions of water flow and discharge were computed as
weekly averages of daily values derived from DYRESM simulations.

Comnent 28 (p.E-2-87,para.I)
Provide longitudinal profiles of predicted weekly average temperatures down-
stream of Watana Dam and Devi 1 Canyon/Watana using the DYRSEM and HEATSIM
models.Simulations for stations with pre-project temperature data should
be provided with Watana in operation "and Devil Canyon/Watana in operation
using data for an average water year and for conditions of minimum releases
(i .e.,using data for a minimum flow year)from Watana .and from Devil
Canyon."Listings of inputs used and assumptions made in each simulation
should also be provided.Outflow temperature from each reservoir used in
the HEATSIM model should include the temperatures that would have to be
available at the multilevel intakes in order to match pre-dam temperatures
that would have to be available at the multilevel intakes in order to match
pre-dam temperatures.Meteorological conditions used as rrodel parameters
shoul d be prov;ded.These simul ated average week ly temperatures shoul d be
compared to pre-project temperatures measured during low-fl ow and average
flow years.Provide parameter values used in each simulation and document
the source of the values used.
Response:
Daily simulations of reservoir and river temperatures had been prepared to
provide the longitudinal profiles of temperatures downstream of Watana dam
and Watana/Devil Canyon using the DYRESM and HEATSIM model s for a wet year
(1981)condition (Acres Jl.merican Inc.,1983a,1983b).Selected profiles
from the daily simulations are given as Figures 8.44 to 8.56 (attached)in
Acres 1983b.Figures 8.44 through 8.56 (see pages 2-28-6 to 2-28-18)cor-
respond to Figures E.2.176 through E.2.178,E.2.180 through E.2.183,and
E.2.217 through E.2.222 of Exhibit E,Chapter 2 of the license document.

To prov i de average week ly temperatures,for compari sons with pre-proj ect
temperatures during low-flow and average flow years,additional studies will
be conducted in 1983.A work plan to carry out the studies and to provide
the updated parameter values and their sources is presented as follows:
1.The parameter values of DYRESM used (in Acres 1983a)will be updated
through additional calibration using Eklutna Lake data,including data
collected after January 1,1983.This calibrtion effort will be com-
pleted by January 1,1984.
2.Water temperature profiles downstream from Watana will be determined by
SNTEMP model..!..!(Stream Network Temperature Model).The cali brat i on
of SNTEMP will be made using existing streamflow,stream temperature,
and meteorological data.
3.The reservoir temperature profiles will be determined using the DYRESM
model and the updated parameter values.Outflow temperatures from the
reservoir temperature model will be used as inputs for the SNTEMP model
to provi de 1ongitudi na 1 profi 1es of temperatures downstream from the
reservoir.This study will be completed by June 30,1984.
Weekly simulations will be made for comparison with pre-project temperatures
measured during low-flow and average flow years for the following cases:
l/AEIDC will perform river temperature studies using SNTEMP model.

(a)Filling of Watana reservoir
(b)Watana in operation
(c)Watana/Devil Canyon in operation
Although not specifically requested case (a),filling of Watana Reservoir is
included because the cited paragraph (E-2-87,para.1)is in the section
ent it 1 ed "Impoundment of Watana Reservoir".
Weekly simulations of the reservoir thermal behavior will be performed under
various power operation schemes for low-flow,average-flow,and high-flow
(1981)years.The resulting outflow temperatures at the multilevel intakes,
will be used as inputs to the downstream temperature simulations using the
SNTEMP model.
The computed temperatures wi 11 be compared wi th the measured pre-proj ect
temperatures.Results of the 1983 Study (Acres 1983b)for wet year
conditinns will also be verified.
The representative years for low-flow (dry),average-flow (average),and
high-flow (wet)years conditions are selected based on the available stream-
flow data.From a frequency analysis of annual flow volumes at Gold Creek,
water years 1974,1982 and 1981 may be considered as dry,average,and wet
years,respectively.
At the completion of the study,a summary report will be prepared.The
report wi 11 inc 1ude:
(a)A listing of inputs used in the study.
2-28-3
-
(b)The assumptions made in each simulation.
(c)The parameter values used in each simulation and documentation of
their sources.
(d)The outflow temperatures from each reservoir.
(e)A comparison of simulated average weekly temperatures with measured
pre-project temperatures.
Outflow temperatures wi 11 include the temperatures that would have to be
available at the multilevel intakes in order to match pre-dam temperatures.
The study will be completed by June 30,1984.
The parameter values used for the 1983 reservoir thermal simulations are
given in the following table:

Third T,t7inter of filling not simulated.Powerhouse would be operational
and temperatures would be similar to natural conditions.
The stream temperatures simulated for the third summer of filling were
computed assuming reservoir outflow through the mid-level outlet works as
shown i~n Appendix IV.The construction schedule shown in the License
Application indicates units 1 and 2 would be operational by April 1 and
July 1 1993,respectively.Thus,some reservoir outfloW'would be through
the powerhouse,and the reservoir outflow temperatures would be warmer
than shown in Appendix IV.Stream temperatures would also be warmer than
shown here.
