I .0 SOMIlAJ.! The concent ration and particle s i ze di stribution o f sus pended s ediment are d ete rmin ed for n atur al co ndi tions at v arious loca tions o n the Sus ltna Riv er based on the data collected by the United States Geological Survey.Under with-project conditions,the concentrations are estimated for reserv oir releases and at Gold Creek and Sunshine. It is estimated that the average suspended sediment concentration o f all f lows ente ring Watana Reservoir will be about 830 milligram per litre (mg/I).The reservoir will trap about 82 percent of the sediment.Particle sizes of a bout .003 and .004 mm will pass through.The concentration in the releases will vary from about 55 mg/l in the winter to about 250 mg/I in the summer. The estimated monthly suspended sediment concentrations at Gold Creek and Sunshine are shown on Exhibits II and 12.The project operation would increase the concentration during winter and decrease that during summer. At Go ld Creek,No vember through March concentration would increase from aobut 5 t o 60 mg /l.The i ncrease at Sunshine also would be about the same. The concentrations i n the months o f April and October also will in crease compared to that under natural conditions (Exhibits II and 12).The co ncen- t r ation during May through September will decrease (Exhibits I I a nd 1 2). 2.0 SCOPE or tIlE STUDt The scope of this study includes the analysis of suspended sediment concen- tration under natural conditions and changes in the concentration due to the project operation.The analysis is made for the Susitna River at Gold Creek and at Sunshine s tream gaging stations (see Exhibit I for the locations). The major tasks are: I.to define the characteristics of suspended sediment at selected locations upstream of Sunshine stream gaging station (Sunshine gage); -1- 2.to define the characteristics of suspended sediment enteri ng Watana Reservoir ; 3.to estimate probable suspended sediment concentration of water released from the reservoir; 4.to evaluate effects on suspended sediment concentration in the ma {~stem due to major tributaries entering the Susitna River above Sunshi ne Rage;and 5.to provide a comparison of monthly suspended sediment concentra- tions at Gold Creek stream gaging station (Gold Creek gage)and at Sunshine g age for natural snd with-project conditions . 3.0 SETTING The Sus{tna River drains an area of about 19,600 square miles (mi 2)in the south central region of Alaska.The major tributaries include the Chulitna, Talkeetna and Yentna rivers with drainage areas of about 2,650,2,040 and 6,200 mi2 respectivel y. The Susitna River originates in the West Fork and Maclaren glaciers of Alaska Range (Exhibit 1) and traverses a distance o f about 320 miles to its mouth at the Cook Inlet.The Chulitna River o riginat es in the glaciers o n the south slopes of Mount McKinley and joins the Susitna River from the West near Talkeetna st river mile 98 (river miles referenced from the Cook Inlet).The Talkeetna River originates in the Talkeetna Mountain and joins the Susitna River from the east near Talkeetna at river miles 97.The Yentna River originates in the Alaska Range and enters the Susitna River from the west at river mile 28. -2- '. The Sus1tna Hydroelectric Project will Include two dams,Watana and Devil Canyon,located at river miles 184 ~nd 152,respectIvely.The drainage areas at the t•.o sItes are about 5,180 and 5,810 mI2,respectively. Susitna streamflow Is characterIzed by turbId hIgh flows In May through September and clear low flows from October through ApriL High sprIng and summer flows are caused by snowmelt,glacIal melt and storm raInfall. 4.0 SUSPENDED SEDIKBNT 4.1 DATA SOURCE Suspended sedIment samples have been collected at a number of stream gaging statIons In the Susitna RIver basIn by the United States GeologIcal Survey (USGS).These samples have been analysed for total suspended sediment con- centratIon In millIgram per litre (mg/l).A number of samples also have been analysed for particle size dIstrIbutIon.ExhIbIt I shows the sampling statIons for which the suspended sedIment data are available.The number of samples collected at selected statIons durIng the perIod of record are gIven In Table I. 4.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT Sediment Is transported In suspensIon,as bed load rollIng or slIdIng along the bed and Interchangeably by suspensIon and bed load.The nature of move- ment depends on the partIcle sIze,shape and specifIc gravIty In respect to the associated velocity and turbulence.Under some condItions of hIgh velocity and turbulence (high flows In steep-gradIent mountaIn streams) cobles (64 to 256 mm sIze)can be carrIed IntermIttently In ~uspension. Conversely,sIlt sIze partIcles (.004 to .062 mm)may move as bed load In low-gradIent,low-velocity channels. -3- 4.2.1 At Selected Locations Suspended sediment is the sediment that is transported outside of th~bed layer in suspension by the turbulent components of the flowing water.In the Susitna River,fine material (silt and clays finer than 0.062 mm)and fine to medium sand particles (sizes between 0.062 mm and upto 1.00 mm)have been observed in suspension. The five material,also known as wash load,are derived from sheet erosion, glacier melt and bank erosion.The quantity of wash load being transported depends upon its availability because the Susitna River can transport much larger quantities of wash load for the observed range of flow.The sand par "icles are derived either from river bed erosion or from glacier melt and other erosion processes.The maximum quantity of sand being transported depends upon the magnitude of flow. Suspended sediment samples generally have been collected during the months of Hay through October (T"ble I).A few samples are available fa r some stations for the period from December through April but no sample was col- lected in November at any station. Since the suspended sediment consists of wash load and sand particle,its concentration varies both with the avallablity of wash load and the capacity of flow to transport sand particles.Available data did not allow to define a clear relationship between water discharge and suspended sediment concen- tration (Exhibits 2 and 3)which can be used to determine the monthly varia- tion of suspended sediment based on mean monthly discharges.Therefore,to provide some idea of monthly variation,the maximum,minimum and median concentrations measured at various locations are listed in Table 2.The maximum and minimum concentrations are not provided for the months for which only one or two samples are available.The median values in such cases are the average of the two or the single value. -4- '. The size distributions of suspended sediment at various stations a re g iven in Tabl e 3 .Si ze distributions are availa ble for the s ampl es collected during the months of May through October .A few samples collected during the other month s were not analysed for size distribution probably because of insufficient sediment quan tity.The size distribution curves based on Table 3 are shown on Exhibit 7 through 11 . The per centages of fine material a nd sand particles at va rious locations are given below.

Sufficient n umher of samples are not available to precisely defi ne the concentration for e ach month .However,by comparing the data fo r v arious stations,some indicative values of monthly Clncent r a ti ons for the Susitna River at Gold Creek and at Sunshine were estimated and are shown on Exhibits 12 and 13 ,respectively.The values indicat ed on the exhibits are not related to specific discharges and approximately represent the median values from the range of observed concentrations und er natural flow condi t tons , -5 - 4.2.2 Suspending Sediment Entering Watana Reservoir The characteristics of the suspended sediment entering Watana Reservoir are best represented by those measured at the Cantwell station.This indicates that.on the average,the suspended sediment concentrations vary approxi- mately between 2 to 20 mg!l during November through April and between 80 to 3 ,000 mg!l during Hay through October.The average size distribution based on the samples collected during May through October is shown on Exhibit 4. This indicates that about 18 percent of sediment is less than .004 rum (clay sizes),about 36 per cer t is between .004 and .062 (sUt sizes)and about 4 6 percent is larger than .062 rum (sand sizes).The average annual streamflow at Watana is about 8,000 cubic feet per second (ds)(l)!J.The suspended sediment inflow is estimated to be about 6 ,530,000 tons per year (ton!yr ) (2).This gives an average concentration of about 830 mg/l for the flow entering the reservoir.The winter concentration may be about 0 to 10 mg !l mg!l (Table 2). 4.3 EFFECTS OF ICE COVER ON SEDIMENT TRANSPORT A study made by W.W .Sayre and G.B. Song (3)to evaluate the effects of i c e- cover on al l uvi al channel flow and sedime nts transport pro ce sees indicated that ice causes a n umber of changes in a l luv ial channel flows by approxi- mately doubling the wetted perimeter and thereby producing a redistribution of the boundary and internal shear st resses.The total depth of flow in the channel with a given unit discharge and s l ope is significantly i ncreased (about 20 to 30 percent for a smooth cover and from 30 to 8 0 percent f or rough caver,relative to the depth for a f ree surface condition).Due ma in- l y to the l ower velocities ,sediment discharge is s igni ficantly reduced. 1!Indicate reference at the end of text -6- The above conclusions are applicable to the Sus1tna River. 4.4 SEDIMENT TRANSPORT DURING FREEZEUP Field observations on the Susitna River show thst freeze-up generally begins in October with some processes continuing until break-up.The beginning o f frazil ice (a spongy or slushy accumulation of ice crystals which form in supercooled water that is too turbulent to permit coagulation of the crys- tals into sheet ice)is marked by a rapid reduction in suspended sediment concentration.As the process continues,the river becomes clear wi thin a day or t wo .Since more contribution of fine sediment from erosion process is stopped due to frozen ground and also there is no glacier melt,the river remain practically clear until breakup. The frazU crystals often flocculate into larger clusters having porosity of about 60 percent.Since water can permeate through these clusters,they filter out the sediment particles which remain entrapped.During breakup, significant quantity of sediment,mcstly silt and clay ,is observed to be mixed with ice.The sediment is concentrated at places rathern than distri- buted over the whole mass. Anchor ice,similar to slush ice but adhering temporily to the river bottom, also has been observed to be mixed wi th sediment.The ancho r ice probably catches sediment moving as bed load as well as suspended load.The anchor ice is generally formed at night and released during the day and then drifts downstream. -7- -, 4.5 PROJECT EPFECT 4.5.1 Suspended Sediments Concentrations at Watana Reservoir Outlet Peratrovich,Not t i ngh am and Drage,Inc.;(PND),(4)made analysis of turbid- ity levels i n Watana Reservoir using a computer model DEPOSITS.The :najor conclusions made by PND that a re pertinent to this study are given below. 1.It is likely that sediment particles less than .003 and .004 mm will remain in suspension; 2 .Maximum turbidity levels at the outlet will be on the order of SO NTU's,which corresponds to a sediment concentration of 200 to 40 0 mg /l ; 3.Minimum turbidity level will be in the order of 10 NTU's which corresponds to a sediment concentration of 30 to 70 mg/l; 4.Turbidit y l ev el s a t the reservoir outlet during each month appear to primarily dependent upon the travel time for sediment slugs delivered to the reservoir during previous summers to reach the reservoir outlet ;and 5. In spite of some limitations.the data gathered from outside sources support the concl usion that Watana reservoir turbid i ty level will be in the range of 10-50 :ITU's. Harza-Ebasco plans to study the turbidity level in Wata r.a reservoir and in the outflow from the reservo ir.The dynamic reservoir simulation mo del DYRESH (5),currently being used for the reservoir temperature and ice study,will be enhanced to include a sub-routine for predicting turbidity levels under various flow conditions.This study will include the effect of " ice COVer on turbidity which was not considered in PND's study.The prupose -8- of Harza-Ebaaco study will be to confirm or refine anal ysis made b y P~D . For the purpose of this study,the results provided by PND have been u sed to estimate suspended sediment concentrations under with-project conditions. PND's analysis show that sediment parti cles less than about .003 and .001.1DID will remain in suspension and pass through the reservoir . Us i ng size di 'l- tribution curve shown on Exhibit 4,about 18 percent of the sediment is Hner than .004 10m.Therefore,it can be expected that about 18 percent of the inflowing sediment will pass through the reservoir. Turbidity level at the outlet is eatimated to be about 10 to 50 NTU's b ', PND.Uaing Exhibit 14,this corresponds to about 55 to 250 mg/l.Thes! values are slightly different than those reported by PND. From the above dlscusslon,it can be concluded that the o per at ion of WE.tana reservoir would increase the suspended sediment cor.c:entration in winter from about 5 to about 55 mg/l.The summer concentrations would be significantly reduced.The extents of reductions would depend on the "",nth. 4.5.2 River Temperatures Harza-Ebasco is conducting a temperature and ice study for Watana Reservoir. The prel iminary simulation co mput e r runs i ndi ca t e that the outflow tempera- tures will be about 1°to 3°C h igh~r than those under natural conditions . The Arctic Environmental Information and Data Center (AEIDC),Alaska,is conducting a river temperature study to investigate with-project temper~· tures at various locations in the reach below Watana and Devil Canyon.::he results of this study are not yet:available.Howev"r .based on reservoi r outflow temperatures,it can be assumed that the river reach between Wat.na and the confluence of the Susitna and Chulitna r iver would be ice f r ee during the winter period,espec:1ally when Devil Canyon reservoir also will become opera tional. -9- 4.5.3 Suspended Sediment Concentration between Watana and the Confluence The suspended sediment concentrstion in this reach will be controlled by the concentration in the reservoir releases and any sediment contribution from the reach.During summer,the concentration will be somewhat higher than 250 mg/l because of intervening flows but much less than those observed under natural conditions. During freeze-up and winter,for....tion of frazil ice or anchor ice will be practically eliminated because of above freezing water temperatures.The river will not clear u p as rapidly as noticed under natural conditions.The sediment concentration will be nearly same as in the releases because inter- vening area will not contribute sediment because of frozen ground.However, the higher winter flow may tend to pick-up sand ;>articles from the river bed,thereby slightly increasing the suspended concentration.The monthly distribution of suspended sediment concentration can be approximately repre- sented as shown on Exhibit 12. 4.5.4 Suspended Sed iment Concentration between the Confluence and Sunshine In thi s reach two major tributaries ,the Chulitna and the Talkeetna river j oins the Susitna River.These river carry little sediments during winter (Tabl e 2). The concentration during winter will,therefore,be controlled by the co ncentration in the Sus ltna River above the confluence.During summer months,low concentration In t he Susltna above the confluence,will decrease the concentration at Sunshine compared to the natural condI t Io ns , Pro-ratil~the concentrations with discharges,t~e estimated concentrations at Sunshine are shown on Exhibit 13.The nr>nthly discharges used for the Susitna River,were those for with-project and scenario 'c'of License Application.The IIDnthly discharges for the Chuletna and Talkeetna rivers were for the period of record. -10- REFERENCES 1.Harza-Ebasco Susitna Joint Venture,Susitna Hydroelectric Project, J anuary 1984:Susitna River at Watana and Devil Canyon,Streamflow Time Series ,Draft Report,Document No.460,prepared f or Alaska Power Authority. 2.Harza-Ebasco Susitna Joint Venture,Susitna Hydroelectric Project, April 1984:Reservoir and River Sedimentation,Final Report,Document No.475,prepared for Alaska Power Authority. 3.Sayre,W.W ;and G.B.Song,February 1979:Effects of Ice Covers on Alluvial Channel Flow and Sediment Transport Processes,prepared for U.S.Geological Survey,IIHR Report No.215,Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research,The University of Iowa,Iowa City,Iowa . 4.Peratrovich,Nottingham and Drage,Inc.:November 1982:Susitna Keservoir Sedimentat ion and Water Clarity Study,prepared for Acres American Inc. 5.1mberger,J.,and J.C.Patterson,1981:A Dynamic Reservoir Simulation Hodel.DYRESH:5,Transport Hodels for Inland and Coastal Wate rs, Chapter 9, Academic Press. .. -11- 'Illb1e 1 SUSPENDED SEDIMENT SAMPLES Months J F M A M J J A S o N D Stream Gaging Stations Period No.of Samples Susitna River nr ,Denali 1961-62;1964-66 1968;1974-75; 1977 ;1979-82 - - 1 1 7 8 12 9 8 3 - - Suaitna Rive r nr ,Cantwell 1962-72; 1980-82 1 - 1 -3 11 14 9 12 3 - - Susitna River at Gold Creek 1962;1974-82 3 1 4 - 9 7 9 9 8 5 - - Susitna River nr ,Talkeetna 1982 --- --5 4 5 1 Chulitna River nr.Talkeetna 1967-72, 1980-82 1 1 4 2 4 10 10 8 9 2 Talkeetna River nr ,Talkeetna 1966-82 8 1 7 7 12 13 16 23 12 7 - - Susitna River a t Sunshine 1971;1977 ; 1981-82 - - 2 - 1 7 7 8 3 1 Sus l tna River at Susitna 1975-81 2 - 3 2 3 4 6 4 1 2 -2 St a t ion .'
