INTRODUcnON
The City of Hydaburg on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska currently has an
average load of about 150 kW and a peak load of about 370 kW. All power to this
isolated system is presently generated by diesel generator sets owned and operated by
Alaska Power and Telephone. This study examined two alternative hydroelectric power
generating sites to assess their feasibility as possible energy sources for the City of
Hydaburg. The two sites are; 1) The Reynolds Creek Project and; 2) The Lake 1013
Project. See Figure 1.
REYNOLDS CREEK PROJECT
This site is located about 10 miles due east of Hydaburg on the east shore of Hetta Inlet.
Reynolds Creek is fed by Lake Mellen and a series of other small mountain lakes at
higher elevations. The project selected for development at this site includes a rockfill
dam at elevation 881 feet ms~ a 24-inch diameter buried steel penstock 2,600 feet long,
and a poweraouse located at elevation 200 feet msl. The intake, penstock and
powerhouse wouid be designed to accommodate two 750 kW turbine generator sets, but
only one would be installed during the first phase of construction. When loads increase
in the future, a second unit could be added with very little difficulty.
Average annual discharge for Reynolds Creek is about 70 cfs. Since the design plant flow
for 750 kW output is only 18 cfs, the proposed project would have a plant factor of 1.0
All energy produced would be firm. Peak annual generation with the single unit could

be as high as 6,000,000 kWh, but it is expected that actual output would be adjusted to
follow Hydaburg's load more closely, and that actual annual output would be closer to
Hydaburg's current annual use of 1,300,000 kWh.
Cost for the Reynolds Creek Project is estimated to be $8,260,000. About $4,795,000 of
this total is related to transmission line construction. Since the proposed project
transmission line crosses navigable waterways (Hetta Inlet), we believe it will be necessary
to obtain a FERC license or possibly an Exemption for the project.
LAKE 1013 PROJECf
The Lake 1013 Project is located about 4 miles due north of Hydaburg. The outlet of
Lake 1013, an unnamed creek, flows out of Lake 1013 in a generally southwesterly
direction, crosses the Craig/Hydaburg Road and empties into Natzuhini Bay north of
Hydaburg. The project selected for this site would consist of a small rockfill dam that
would raise Lake 1013 about 10 feet, an IS-inch diameter penstock 5,500 feet long and
a small powerhouse building at elevation 300 feet msl housing one pelton type turbine-
generator set rated at 600 kW full load output, 14 cfs and 650 feet gross head.
The average annual flow from the Lake 1013 basin is approximately 9 cfs. Assuming 7
feet of drawdown, Lake 1013 would provide about 280 acre-feet of storage that could be
used to increase the project output at times when Hydaburg's load exceeds the plant's
normal run-of-the-river output Average annual generation for this project is estimated
to be about 2,046,000 kWh without use of reservoir storage. Use of the entire reservoir
should generate an additional 140,000 kWh per drawdown. Although Hydaburg's annual
energy use is currently only about 1,300,000 kWh, there are times that the proposed
project would not meet the instantaneous load demand of the City. This would occur
during very cold periods in January and February as well as during low flow periods of
July and August Reservoir capacity will allow peak loads to be reached until the
reservoir is drained, but it is expected that a dry period in excess of one month will result
in energy shortfalls at low flow times of the year.

The cost for the Lake 1013 Project is estimated to be approximately $4,880,000 in 1993
dollars. About $2,120,000 of this total is for transmission line construction. If a
transmission line is ever built between Hydaburg and Klawock, about 3 miles of the Lake
1013 transmission line could be incorporated into the Hydaburg/Klawock line. It is
believed that this project would not be under the jurisdiction of the FERC and would not
require a FERC License or Exemption.
Detailed descriptions of the proposed projects, drawings of proposed structures, and
detailed cost and power generation estimates are contained in the text of this report. This
report concludes that both projects are technically feasible and that both would provide
a very high percentage of Hydaburg's current energy needs.
The Lake 1013 Project would meet Hydaburg's current energy demands quite effectively
but has no potential for future expansion. It would be less expensive overall than the
Reynolds Creek Project but supplemental diesel generation would still be required for
Hydaburg part of the time.
The Reynolds Creek Project, although more expensive initially, has considerable capacity
for future expansio~ allowing very cost effective staged development as loads grow over
time. Its high firm energy capacity would make diesel generation necessary only during
plant forced outages.
It is recommended that a stream gaging program be initiated on the Lake 1013 outlet as
soon as a cIedaion is made about further study of this site. Land surveys to confirm the
actual eIe-air of the selected dam and powerhouse sites should also be considered.
Finally, State eI. Alaska and federal agencies should be contacted to begin to scope the
environmental issues that will be raised as part of these projects.

II. GENERAL
HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) was retained by the Alaska Energy Authority to complete
a reconnaissance level pre-feasibility analysis of two hydroelectric development sites to
potentially serve the town of Hydaburg, located on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern
Alaska. These two development sites are; 1) the Reynolds Creek Basin at Lake Mellen
about 10 miles east of Hydaburg and 2) the Lake 1013 Basin located about 4 miles north
of Hydaburg. Please refer to the Project Site Vicinity Map, Figure 1. This report will
addresses each site separately and a comparison of the two sites is presented at the end
of the report.
III. REYNOLDS CREEK PROJECT
1.0 REYNOLDS CREEK PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Reynolds Creek Basin lies about 10 miles due east of Hydaburg on the east side of
Hetta Inlet. Reynolds Creek itself is the outlet of Lake Mellen, a 128 acre mountain lake
at elevation 873 feet msl. The Reynolds Creek Basin includes two additional lakes, Lake
Marge at Elevation 1,750 feet and Lake Summit at Elevation 1,298 feet. Several
reconnaissance studies assessing the suitability of the Reynolds Creek Basin for
hydropower development have been made in the past. These studies were undertaken
due to recognition of the high rainfall, steep terrain, and the potential for several power
development sites within the basin which make it ideal for a phased development
program. 1be high cost of transmission lines from the project to Hydaburg have in the
past adversely affected project economics. Recent completion of a logging access road
along a large portion of the transmission corridor has helped lower construction costs and
prompted this analysis.
A preliminary site assessment was completed in the HDR office using USGS mapping and
gaging information and through a review of previous consulting engineers reports. HDR
personnel visited the proposed project site via helicopter on September 26, 1991. Their
field observations helped to refine the preliminary analysis with respect to specific
location of principal project features. HDR staff also met briefly with City of Hydaburg
and Haida Corporation staff to discuss the project to gain useful local perspectives.
2.0 HYDROLOGY
2.1 General
The Reynolds Creek drainage basin contains three lakes; Lake Marge at Elevation 1,750
feet, Lake Summit at Elevation 1,298 feet, and Lake Mellen at Elevation 873 feet. The
total drainage area above the diversion site is approximately 5.2 square miles. The
drainage basin is generally oriented in the southwesterly direction and is mostly alpine.
The surface area of Lake Mellen is reported by the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game in August of 1972 to be 128 acres.
2.2 Selection Of Gages
The location of USGS gages in the vicinity of the proposed project site was investigated.
USGS gage #15081995 with a period of record from 1982 to 1986 water years and a
drainage area of 5.2 square miles is located 0.1 miles downstream of Lake Mellen on
Reynolds Creek. (Water year is defined as the calendar from October of previous year
to September of current year. For example, water year 1950 includes months from
October of 1949 to September of 1950.) A comparative USGS gage on Fish Creek
located near K.etdJikan (USGS #15072(00) has a period of record from 1915 to 1989
water years ad a drainage area of 32 square miles. These years were unfortunately not
covered by any Pies in the vicinity of the project site. The USGS gage at Old Tom
Creek (USGS #15(85100) is located near Kassan with a period of record from 1949 to
1989 water years and has a drainage area of 5.9 square miles. The USGS gage at the
North Branch Trocaderro near Hydaburg (USGS #15081800) is located near Hydaburg
with a period of record from 1967 to 1974 water years and has a drainage area of 17
square miles. Selection of the USGS gages are summarized in Table 1.

2.3 Analysis
Daily flows for the gaging stations were obtained by using "HYDRODATA" files.
"HYDRODATA" is a laser disc database program compiled by U.S.West containing data
for all USGS gaging stations. Daily flows were obtained for the Reynolds Creek Gage
#15081995 for the period 1982 to 1986 and the Fish Creek Gage #15072000 for the
period 1916 to 1989. These daily flows were used in HDR's "FLODUR" program to
obtain average monthly flows for the gage. The average monthly flows of Fish Creek
Gage and Reynolds Creek Gage for the overlapping period 1983 to 1985 were correlated
using a linear regression technique. The monthly correlations thus obtained were fairly
realistic with a few exceptions.
A similar regression analysis was carried out between the Old Tom Creek Gage
#15085100 and the Reynolds Creek Gage for the overlapping period 1983 to 1985. The
monthly correlations obtained were poor. The results of the linear regression analysis of
the Fish Creek Gage and the Reynolds Creek Gage were, therefore, used to simulate the
flows at the diversion site. No area correction was needed since the Reynolds Creek
Gage and the area above the diversion site are approximately equal (5.2 square miles).
The average annual discharge for the diversion site at Lake Mellen was calculated to be
approximately 70.9 cfs with an average runoff of 13.63 cfs per square mile. The average
monthly discharge flows varied between .S.2 cfs in July and 94.3 cfs in December. Due
to variability in the correlations the average monthly hydrograph is not distributed
correctly, however, the average annual flows appear to be not affected. Table 2
summarizes bodl the average monthly and the annual flows for the period 1916 to 1989
water years. FlgUI'e5 2 and 3 show the average monthly flow hydrograph and the flow
duration curve respectively.

3.0 PROJECf LAYOUT
The project layout was developed using the general guideline of attempting to maximize
the use of locally available materials, minimize concrete use, and provide a project which
is easy to operate, reliable, and can be developed at as Iowa cost as is reasonable. The
project capacity was selected to meet all known current and near term planned loads of
Hydaburg with a small amount of spare capacity, and to provide the capability to easily
expand the plant in the future should loads increase appreciably. The selected project
arrangement includes a two turbine powerhouse, with each unit rated for 750 kW full
load, for a total capacity of 1,500 kW. Only one turbine would be purchased and installed
at this time, but provision will be made to easily add the second unit in the future.
Therefore, the estimated installed capacity of the initial project would be 750 kW.
Following is a description of the major project features selected for the Reynolds Creek
Project. Refer to Figure 4, Reynolds Creek Project Site Plan.
3.1 Dam and Intake
The outlet of Lake Mellen (present elevation 873 feet msl) passes through an
approximately 200-foot long and 4O-foot wide ravine cut into bedrock before it drops
steeply down slope. This location appears to be an excellent location for a dam. It was
decided to install a simple rock fill dam taldng advantage of the ample supply of large
blocky boulders found in the area. An area which would form the base of the proposed
dam structure would be cleaned down to a solid rock foundation. Selected boulders
would then be let into place and grouted together. Figure 6 shows the plan and section
of the propoMd structure. The uncontrolled spillway would be provided at elevation 881
feet msl. The dam would raise Lake Mellen about 8 feet. This is sufficient to provide
for both submergence of the proposed intake pipe and some reservoir drawdown
capability for the proposed project.
The intake system as proposed consists of a 24-inch diameter pipe with a screened drum
type manifold intake which is designed to pass 18 cubic feet per second flow with the

capability to be easily doubled in capacity to 36 cfs by adding two additional drum screen
assemblies. See Figure 6. The screen manifold would be pre-assembled, helicoptered or
floated into position, weighted and sunk to the lake bottom. The pipeline and the
sluiceway pipe would be installed prior to dam construction and would be incorporated
directly into the dam. The sluiceway pipe would be used for stream diversion during
construction. The resulting impoundment would be about 128 acres in size with about
5 feet of useable drawdown storage amounting to approximately 640 acre feet. This
should be sufficient storage to supply Hydaburg a constant supply of 300 kW for 40 days
with zero reservoir inflow. It is unlikely, therefore, that the full storage capacity of this
proposed reservoir would be used under the present load scenarios experienced by
Hydaburg. This arrangement would allow for considerable flexibility in the event of
significant future load growth.
3.2 Penstock
A 24-inch penstock exits the dam structure and is expected to follow a fairly direct route
down a steep slope to the proposed powerhouse location. A shutoff valve and air/vacuum
release valve are placed in insulated vaults just downstream of the dam. The pipeline will
be buried for its entire length to provide better restraint and protection from the
elements. Total pipeline length is 2,600 feet. See Figure 5 for pipeline layout. An access
road will parallel the penstock in areas where the slope is 12 percent or less, but several
high gradient switchbacks will be necessary to get the access road up to the dam site
location. It is recommended that an access road be installed to the dam site to facilitate
both constnlCtion and long-term operations and maintenance. Peak design flow for the
penstock is 36 cis, but a full load flow of 18 cis will be all that is necessary for the 750
kW plant A 18-to 2O-inch pipe would be required for a 18 cfs design flow, so it was felt
that installation of the 24-inch pipe at this time would provide the ability to double plant
output in the future for a very small incremental cost
-8-
3.3 Powerhouse
The proposed powerhouse is a 30 feet by 46 feet insulated metal building on a concrete
slab foundation located at approximate elevation 200 feet ms!. Refer to Figures 7 and
8. The exact location of the powerhouse will need to be field verified to provide a
geologically solid foundation as well as having the hydraulic ability to return turbine
tailrace outflows to the base of the first impassable anadromous fish barrier on Reynolds
Creek. Previous studies and field observations indicated that this first fish barrier is near
elevation 200, but this will have to be verified by actual surveying before design work
begins.
The powerhouse as proposed will house the 750 kW turbine/generator set as well as
switchgear and controls. Space for installation of a future 750 kW unit will be provided
and a wye connection to the penstock for the second unit will be made and blind flanged.
The powerhouse location at elevation 200 feet provides a gross head of approximately 681
feet.
3.4 Switchyard and TransmissioD
Output from the proposed generator will be at 4,160 volts. Switchgear and a step up
transformer located outdoors next to the powerhouse in a fenced enclosure will increase
line voltage to 35 kV for transmission to the new Hydaburg substation. Refer to Figure
9, the electrical one-line diagram. The overhead powerline would follow a new access
road from the powerhouse along the edge of Copper Harbor north along Hetta Inlet at
about elevation 100 feet ms!. 3.3 miles from the powerhouse, the transmission line would
make a 1.0 mile submarine crossing of Hetta Inlet and emerge back to an overhead line
at Deer Bay. The line would then follow an existing logging road 7.1 miles to Hydaburg.
At Hydaburg, the line would enter a small substation where it would be transformed
down to 2,400 volts, the distribution voltage for the City of Hydaburg.

3.5 Communications
A four-pair telephone cable would be installed parallel to the transmission line to provide
plant communications. A simple SCADA system would allow staff in Hydaburg to
monitor plant generation and to alert the staff of any alarms or shutdowns at the plant.
Normal access to the plant would be by car to Deer Bay, by boat to Copper Harbor, and
by A TV from Copper Harbor to the plant site.
4.0 POWER AND ENERGY GENERATION
4.1 Analysis
The project power and average energy production for the simulated period of hydrological
record (1914 to 1989) were determined using the HDR Hydropower Evaluation Program
(HEP). HEP is a computer model developed by HDR for computing average and annual
power generation for a high head run-of-river hydropower project. The simulated daily
flow above the diversion site and project development information (such as pipe length,
friction factor, diameter, diversion and powerhouse elevatio~ fish flow, turbine efficiency
curve, and mechanical losses) are input into the model to obtain the energy production.
A bypass release (minimum instream flow) of 5 els was assumed for environmental
purposes throughout the year. This bypass release reduces the net water available for
energy production.
The maximum turbine flow for the first phase (750 kW) was assumed to be 18 els. The
minimum turbiDe flow was assumed as 2 cfs. The gross head available was 681 feet. The
friction factor (Manning's "n") of 0.012 for steel pipe was used to compute the friction loss
throughout the entire length of the pipe. Minor headloss in the intake structure and
pipeline due to bends and other fittings were estimated at 4 feet. A twin-jet pelton
turbine efficiency curve similar to those used by Canyon Industries of Deming,
Washington was assumed. Generator losses were estimated at 5 percent, transformer and
-10-
...
-
..
.....
...
switchyard losses at 1 percent, and transmission line loss at 2 percent primarily due to its
long length. The station power requirements loss including downtime for repairs and
expected power outages were assumed as 5 percent. Station power requirements for
lighting, heating, and ventilation were assumed negligible when compared to downtime
losses.
The simulated daily flow above the diversion site and the project development
information were used in the HEP to determine the expected rated power capacity of the
project. A rated power of 750 kW was estimated for the project with an average
production of 5,955,000 kWh of electrical energy per year. Without considering any use
of the storage reservoir, the plant capacity factor is 0.98. With the proposed storage
capacity in Lake Mellen, all of this energy is essentially 100 percent firm. It is expected
that actual plant operation would be adjusted to meet the needs of Hydaburg as closely
as possible, and so for the first few years, annual output would be closer to 1,500,000
kWh. Sufficient storage and plant capacity are available so that full plant load of 750 kW
should be available every day of the year. Table 4 shows the power generation output
and complete energy production assumptions and tabulated energy production for all the
years of simulated hydrological period of record. H and when the project is expanded to
1,500 kW rating, annual energy production should average 11,278,000 kWh with a plant
capacity factor of 0.93. Table 5 shows projected energy generation for this case.
4.2 Loads
A brief study of electrical demand at the City of Hydaburg was performed. From data
supplied by ABA, annual load is about 1,300,000 kWh, for an average load of 150 kW.
Peak demand is about 370 kW currently. A refrigeration facility in town with a load of
about 140 bp might operate sometime in the future, and could be more likely to operate
if a secure source of electricity were available. A visitor's center with a load of up to 10
kW is also proposed for Hydaburg, but is unlikely to be operational before 1995 according
to US Forest Service sources. Allowing for 5 percent load growth per year and assuming
all known possible loads are on line, the projected peak 1994 load is 545 kW. Further,

by assuming a very high 5 percent load annual growth, the proposed project at 750 kW
is still expected to meet all of Hydaburg's known needs through the year 2000.
5.0 COST ESTIMATE
The cost estimate for the proposed project was prepared using past project experience,
the Northwest Pipe & Casing Company Pipe Manual, average U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation Cost Indexes, and cost quotations from major suppliers including Canyon
Industries, Northwest Pipe & Casing, and Perelli Jacobson Contractors. At this level of
study, the costs are estimated to be accurate to within plus or minus 30 percent.
Costs of various project features were developed by determination of unit quantities
required for each major structure and application of unit costs appropriate for the area.
Vendor quotations were obtained for some equipment such as the turbine generator,
switchgear, pipe, submarine crossing, intake screen assemblies, etc. Results were
tabulated in the FERC format in a Lotus 123 spreadsheet that could be used directly in
exhibits for a FERC Ucense Application should that project proceed to that point. Total
project costs including design, licensing, construction, and start-up are $7,680,000 in
January 1992 dollars. Escalation to July 1993 prices at 5 percent per year results in a
total project cost in 1993 of $8,260,000. See Table 6. The operation and maintenance
costs for the first year of project operation are estimated to be $184,000. Table 7 gives
a breakdown of this estimate.
6.0 DEVELOPMENT ISSUES" SCHEDULE
6.1 Schedule
A general development schedule for this project suggests about four months is required
to perform detailed preliminary design of the project including some initial site surveying
and geotechnical review. The product of this exercise would be performance plans and
specifications and a project description adequate for both use in obtaining permits and

licenses for the project and for refining cost estimates for the project to plus or minus 15
percent. A go/no go decision should be made at this point to decide whether or not to
proceed with project development.
If the decision is made to proceed, the licensing and permitting process would begin and
all required approvals to proceed with construction could be obtained within one to two
years of application, with the exception of the FERC license. Some issues which could
be raised during licensing include:
1) Instream flow requirements
2) Verification of impassable barrier on Reynolds Creek
3) Loss of habitat or wetlands due to the raising of Lake Mellen
4) Protection of wildlife from project impacts (eagles, bear, deer, elk)
5) Erosion and sedimentation control during construction
6) Stream diversion and construction timing
7) Social and economic impacts
8) Water quality during and after construction
6.2 Permits and UceDses
Based on the information currently available, the project as proposed would not be
exempt from FERC licensing requirements due in large part to the marine cable crossing
(navigable waterway) on the transmission line being under federal jurisdiction. We would
expect that a three stage consultation and license process could be accomplished in 24 to
48 months.. If Ipplicable, FERC Exemption from licensing could be obtained under
approximately the same timeframe. Major permits that would be required include:
1) Water Rights -Alaska DNR
2) Alaska Coastal Management Program Compliance
3) 401 Oean Water Certification (DEC)
4) Authority to construct or modify a dam -Alaska DNR
-13-
'"'

...
..
•
•
5) FERC license to construct or Exemption from licensing
6) Army Corps of Engineers -Permit to place dredge or fill in rivers
7) U.S. Coast Guard Marine Crossing Permit
Once all project permits are received, final design and construction can proceed.
Construction should be planned to begin in late March or early April to take full
advantage of the summer construction period. Every attempt should be made to have
completed access to the dam site so dam construction could proceed during July and
August, the low flow months. Final design should take about 3 to 4 months to prepare
plans and specifications that could be put out for construction bids. Construction could
be performed in one construction season if it were carefully planned and well organized.
Several issues would need to be addressed early in the development of this project in
order to keep the whole development moving smoothly. These issues include:
1) Ownership of the Project. Possible Owners include: a) Private Developer; b) City of
Hydaburg; c) Haida Corporation; d) Alaska Energy Authority; e) Alaska Power and
Telephone; or f) Sealaska Corporation; or g) some combination of the above. Ownership
will affect financing methods, operations, permitting, and bidding requirements to name
a few.
2) Land Rights: Hydaburg Oty staff indicated that all project lands are believed to be
currently owned by the Sealaska Corporation, but that Sealaska was in favor of the project
and open to JlelOtiations. Apparently, a patented mining claim exists at the head of
Copper HariJor that may have to be crossed with the access road and transmission line.
Oearly, decisions about land ownership, easements, or right-of-ways need to be made, but
detailed investigation of land rights issues is outside the scope of this study. Costs for
land owner negotiations are included in project cost estimates.
3) Presently, Alaska Power and Telephone is authorized by the APUC to sell electricity
in Hydaburg.
-14-
4) Financing and Sources of Funding: The sources of funding for the projeC4 whether
they be bond sales, outside financing, grants, subsidies or some combination of these, will
affect the economic evaluation of the project and to some extent project schedules and
overall costs. Basic agreement on the approach to financing will clarify other issues and
focus the development effort.
IV. LAKE 1013 PROJECf
1.0 LAKE 1013 PROJECf DESCRIPTION
The Lake 1013 Basin is located about 4 miles due north of Hydaburg. The outlet of Lake
1013, an unnamed creek, flows out of Lake 1013 in a generally southwesterly direction,
crosses the Hydaburg-Craig Road and empties into the Pacific. The total drainage basin
is approximately one square mile. It is believed that this site has not been previously
studied for hydropower development
A preliminary site assessment of the 1013 Site was completed in the HDR office using
USGS mapping and gaging information. HDR personnel visited the proposed project site
via helicopter on September 26, 1991. Their field observations helped to refine the
preliminary analysis with respect to specific location of principal project features. HDR
staff also met briefly with City of Hydaburg and Haida Corporation staffs to discuss the
project.
During the site reconnaissance, it was noted that a sensitive barometrically corrected
altimeter carried to the site indicated the Lake 1013 elevation to be 940 feet msl. The
altimeter in the helicopter indicated elevation 975 msL It is possible that the USGS maps
of the area are inaccurate and that the actua1lake elevation is closer to 940 feet than
1,013 feet Although both altimeters used in this case were corrected for barometric
pressure that day, these instruments generally can experience considerable fluctuations
over a day. Both altimeters were set at the same time at equal levels before take-off.
Until actual physical site surveys are done, the actual lake elevation will not be accurately

known. In order to maintain a conservative approach, it was decided to use 940 feet as
the lake elevation for this study.
It was also observed during the site reconnaissance that an excellent dam site exists on
the outlet to Lake 1013 about 200 feet downstream of the lake outlet. The outlet stream
drops into a narrow, shallow canyon that could serve as abutments to a small rockfill dam.
This is discussed in more detail later in the report.
2.0 HYDROLOGY
2.1 Selection or Gages
Location of USGS gages in the vicinity of the proposed project sites were investigated.
A USGS gage (#15081995) with a period of record from 1982 to 1986 and a drainage
area of 5.2 square miles is located 0.1 miles downstream of Lake Mellen on Reynolds
Creek. USGS gage on Fish Creek near Ketchikan (USGS #15072(00) is located near
Ketchikan with a period of record from 1915 to 1989 and a drainage area of 32 square
miles. The Fish Creek Gage has missing a period of record between 1937 to 1938. These
years were unfortunately not covered by any other gages in the vicinity of the project site.
The USGS gage on Old Tom Creek (USGS #150851(0) is located near Kassan with a
period of record from 1949 to 1989 and with a drainage area of 5.9 square miles. The
USGS gage on the North Branch Trocaderro near Hydaburg (USGS #150818(0) is
located near Hydaburg with a period of record from 1967 to 1974 and has a drainage area
of 17 square miles. Selection of the USGS gages are summarized in Table 1.
2.2
No USGS gage exists on the unnamed creek downstream of Lake 1013. North Branch
Trocaderro Gage #15081800 with a period of record from 1967 to 1974 is the nearest
gaging station to Lake 1013. To ensure similar hydrological characteristics between the
North Branch Trocaderro and the project site at Lake 1013, mean annual precipitation

for both sites was examined using the Water Resources Atlas for Alaska prepared by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. The mean annual precipitation for both the sites was
approximately equal to 120 inches. Therefore, the North Branch Trocaderro Gage is
suitable to be used to simulate flows at the proposed diversion site. The average monthly
flows for the period 1968 to 1974 for the North Branch Trocaderro Gage was correlated
with the Fish Creek Gage #15072000 for the overlapping period 1968 to 1974 using a
linear regression technique. The monthly correlations obtained were fair. Similar
analysis was carried out for the Old Tom Creek and the North Bay Trocaderro Gages for
the same period 1968 to 1974. The correlations obtained were poor.
The results obtained from the linear regression analysis for the Fish Creek Gage and the
North Branch Trocaderro Gage and an area ratio multiplier (North Branch Trocaderro
Gage/Lake 1013 drainage area) were used to obtain simulated daily flows at the diversion
site for Lake 1013. Using the daily flows in the "FLODUR" program average annual and
monthly flows were generated.
The average annual discharge for the diversion site at Lake 1013 was calculated to be
approximately 8.9 cfs with an average runoff of 8.65 cfs per square mile. The mean
monthly flow varied between 4 cfs in July to 16.9 cfs in October. Table 3 summarizes the
average monthly and annual flows. Figures 10 and 11 show the average monthly flow
hydrograph and the flow duration curve, respectively.
3.0 PROJECT lAYOUT
The project layout was developed using the general guideline of attempting to maximize
the use of IocaDy available materials, minimizing concrete use, and to provide a project
which is easy to operate, is reliable, and can be developed at as low a cost as is
reasonable. The project capacity was selected to maximize to the extent possible the use
of the available water in the Lake 1013 Basin. The selected project arrangement includes
a single turbine powerhouse with the unit rated for 600 kW full load. See Figure 12, the

site plan. Following is a description of the major project features selected for the Lake
1013 Project:
3.1 Dam and Intake
The outlet of Lake 1013 (present elevation assumed to be 940 feet msl) flows about 200
feet through gently sloping open forest land until it drops into a narrow rock canyon from
10 to 15 feet deep. This small canyon with rock abutments appears to be an excellent
location for a dam. It was decided to install a simple rock fill dam taking advantage of
the ample supply of large blocky boulders found in the area. An area which would form
the base of the proposed dam structure would be cleaned down to a solid rock
foundation. Selected boulders would then be set into place and grouted together. Figure
14 shows the plan and section of the proposed structure. The uncontrolled spillway
would be provided at elevation 950 feet IDSl. The dam would raise Lake 1013 about 10
feet. This is sufficient to provide for both submergence of the proposed intake pipe and
some reservoir drawdown capability for the proposed project. The Lake 1013 Basin is
very shallow and it was felt from the field reconnaissance that raising Lake 1013 by more
than 10 feet could result in the lake overflowing its basin into the adjacent drainage.
The intake system as proposed consists of a 1S-inch diameter pipe with a screened drum
type manifold intake which is designed to pass 14 cubic feet per second flow. See Figure
14. The screen manifold would be pre-assembled, helicoptered or floated into position,
weighted and sunk to the lake bottom. The pipeline and the sluiceway pipe would be
installed prior to dam. construction and would be incorporated directly into the dam. The
sluiceway pipe would be used for stream diversion during construction. The resulting
impoundment would be about 40 acres in size with about 7 feet of useable drawdown
storage amounting to approximately 280 acre-feet. This should be sufficient storage to
supply Hydaburg a constant supply of 300 kW for 20 days with zero reservoir inflow. It
is likely that the full storage capacity of this proposed reservoir would be used under the
present load scenarios experienced by Hydaburg during the low flow months of the year.
A complete drawdown power study was not performed as part of the scope of this study,

but should be performed as part of detailed a feasibility study. More complete
streamflow data will be necessary to perform such a study.
3.2 Penstock
An 18-inch penstock exits the dam structure and is expected to follow a fairly direct route
down a moderate slope to the proposed powerhouse location. A shutoff valve and
air jvacuum release valve are placed in insulated vaults just downstream of the dam. The
pipeline will be buried for its entire length to provide better restraint and protection from
the elements. Total pipeline length is 5,500 feet. See Figure 13 for pipeline layout. An
access road will parallel the penstock all the way up to the dam. The slope will be 12
percent or less in most areas, but several somewhat steeper sections will likely be
necessary to get the access road up to the dam site location. It is recommended that an
access road be installed all the way to the dam site to facilitate both construction and long
term operations and maintenance. Peak design flow for the penstock is 14 cis.
3.3 Powerhouse
The proposed powerhouse is a 20 foot by 26 foot insulated metal building on a concrete
slab foundation located at approximate elevation 300 feet ms!. Refer to Figure 15. The
exact location of the powerhouse will need to be field verified to provide a geologically
solid foundation as well as the having the hydraulic ability to return turbine tailrace
outflows to the base of the first impassable anadromous fish barrier on the Lake 1013
outlet creek. Field observations from the helicopter indicated that this first fish barrier
is near elefttian 300, but this will have to be verified by on ground surveying and agency
agreement before beginning final design work.
The proposed powerhouse will contain the 600 kW turbine/generator set as well as
switchgear and controls. The powerhouse location at elevation 300 provides a gross head
of 650 feel

3.4 Switchyard and Transmission
Output from the proposed generator will be at 4,160 volts. Switchgear and a step up
transformer located outdoors next to the powerhouse in a fenced enclosure will increase
line voltage to 35 kV for transmission to the new Hydaburg substation. Refer to Figure
16, the one-line diagram. The overhead powerline would follow a new access road from
the powerhouse down to the Craig-Hydaburg Road and then south to Hydaburg for a
total length of 3.7 miles. At Hydaburg, the line would enter a small substation where it
would be transformed down to 2,400 volts, the distribution voltage for the City of
Hydaburg.
3.5 Communications
A four-pair telephone cable would be installed parallel to the transmission line to provide
plant communications. A simple SCADA system would allow staff in Hydaburg to
monitor plant generation and to alert the staff of any alarms or shutdowns at the plant.
Normal access to the plant would be by car or all terrain vehicle in winter.
4.0 POWER AND ENERGY GENERATION
4.1 ~aJysis
The pro jed power and average energy production for the simulated period of hydrological
record (1916 to 1989) were determined using the Hydropower Evaluation Program
(HEP). HEP is a oomputer model for oomputing average and annual power generation
for a high head run-of-river hydropower project, developed by HDR. The simulated daily
flow above the diversion site and project development information (such as pipe length,
friction factor, diameter, diversion and powerhouse elevation, fish flow, turbine efficiency
curve, and mechanical losses ) are input into the model to obtain the energy production.

A bypass release (minimum instream flow) of 1 cfs was assumed for environmental
purposes throughout the year. This bypass release reduces the net water available for
energy production.
The maximum turbine flow was taken as 14 cfs for full load conditions. The minimum
turbine flow was assumed as 2 cfs. The gross head available was 650 feet. The friction
factor (Manning's "n") of 0.012 for steel pipe was used to compute the friction loss
throughout the entire length of the pipe. Minor headloss in the intake structure and
pipeline due to bends and other fittings were estimated at 4 feet. A standard twin-jet
pelton turbine efficiency curve was assumed. Generator losses were estimated at 5
percent, transformer and switchyard losses at 1.0 percent, and transmission line loss at 1.0
percent. Transmission losses will be less than the Reynolds Creek Project due to a much
shorter transmission line. The station power requirements loss including downtime for
repairs and expected power outages were assumed as 5 percent. Station power
requirements for lighting, heating, and ventilation were assumed negligible when
compared to downtime losses.
The simulated daily flow above the diversion site and the project development
information were used in the HEP to determine the expected rated power capacity of the
project. Table 8 summarizes the results. A rated power of 600 kW was estimated for the
project with an average production of 2,046,000 kWh of electrical energy per year.
Assuming no contribution from the storage reservoir, the plant factor obtained was 0.47.
If the plant was operated at Hydaburg's current peak load of 340 kW all year, the
resulting plat factor, again ignoring storage, would be 0.60. At Hydaburg's average load
of 150 kW, plat factor would be 0.76. Including the effects of the storage reservoir into
this analysis will further increase capacity factor and firm energy. It was beyond the scope
of this study to construct a reservoir drawdown model for this project, especially in light
of the limited actual hydrology information available. However, it is clear, for example,
that the reservoir capacity with no inflow could generate 200 kW continuously for 28 days,
so the reservoir will greatly improve the load following ability of this project. The plant
would be expected to be in operation throughout the year except during maintenance.

Table 8 shows the power generation output and complete energy production assumptions
and tabulated energy production for the entire years of simulated hydrological period of
record, without considering reservoir drawdown.
4.2 loads
A brief study of electrical demand at the City of Hydaburg was performed. From data
supplied by AEA, annual load is about 1,300,000 kWh, for an average load of about 150
kW. Peak demand is about 370 kW currently. A refrigeration facility in town with a load
of about 140 hp might operate sometime in the future, and could be more likely to
operate if a secure source of electricity were available. A visitor's center with a load of
up to 10 kW is also proposed for Hydaburg, but is unlikely to be operational before 1995
according to US Forest Service sources. AllOwing for S percent load growth per year and
assuming all known possible loads are on line, the projected peak 1994 load is 545 kW.
5.0 COST ESTIMATE
The cost estimate for the proposed project was prepared using past project experience,
the Northwest Pipe & Casing Company Pipe Manual, average U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation Cost Indexes, and cost quotations from major suppliers including Canyon
Industries, Northwest Pipe & Casing, and Perelli Jacobson Contractors. At this level, the
costs are estimated to be acauate to within plus or minus 30 percent
Costs of various project features were developed by determination of unit quantities
required for each major structure and application of unit costs appropriate for the area.
Vendor quo&atiODS were obtained for some equipment such as the turbine generator,
switchgear, pipe, submarine crossing, intake screen assemblies, etc. Results were
tabulated in the FERC format in a Lotus 123 spreadsheet that could be used directly in
exhibits for a FERC License Application should that project proceed to that point. Total
project costs including design, licensing, construction, and start-up are $4,540,000 in
January 1992 dollars. Escalation to July 1993 prices at S percent per year results in a
-22-
total project cost in 1993 of $4,880,000. See Table 9. Annual operations and
maintenance costs for the first year of operation are estimated to be $159,000. Table 10
gives a breakdown of this estimate.
6.0 DEVEWPMENT ISSUES & SCHEDULE
A general development schedule for this project suggests about 4 months will be required
to perform detailed preliminary design of the project including some initial site surveying
and geotechnical review. The product of this exercise would be performance plans and
specifications and a project description adequate for both use in obtaining permits and
licenses for the project and for refining cost estimates for the project to plus or minus 15
percent A go/no go decision should be made at this point to decide whether to proceed
with project development.
The licensing and permitting process would begin at this point and it should be possible
to obtain all required approvals to proceed with construction within 12 months of
application. We believe that some of the issues which could be raised during licensing
include:
1) Instream flow requirements (We have assumed 1.0 cfs)
2) Verification of impassable barrier on Lake 1013 Creek
3) Loss of habitat or wetlands due to the raising of Lake 1013
4) Protection of wildlife from project impacts (eagles, bear, deer, elk)
S) P.NIioa and sedimentation control during construction
6) SUeS" diversion and construction timing
7) Social and economic impacts
8) Water quality during and after construction
Permits and licenses: HDR has reviewed the project and believes that the project as
proposed should be exempt from FERC licensing requirements since there is no
federally-owned land, an isolated electrical grid network, and the subject stream is not a

navigable waterway. Occasionally, the presence of anadromous fish in the streams, as is
the case here, can trigger objections by federal and state fisheries agencies that could
bring FERC into the picture. We believe this could be avoided in this case. Major
permits that would be required include:
1) Water Rights -Alaska DNR
2) Alaska Coastal Management Program Compliance
3) 401 Clean Water Certification (DEC)
4) Authority to construct or modify a dam -Alaska DNR
5) FERC confirmation of no jurisdiction
6) Army Corps of Engineers -404 Permit to place fill in rivers
Once all project permits are received, final design and construction can proceed.
Construction should be planned to begin in late March or early April to take full
advantage of the summer construction period. Every attempt should be made to have
access installed to the dam site so dam construction could proceed in July and August,
the low flow months. Final design should take about 3 to 4 months to get plans and
specifications to the point the work could be put out for construction bids. Actual site
construction could be performed in one construction season if it were closely planned and
well organized.
Several issues would need to be addressed early in the development of this project in
order to keep the whole development moving smoothly. These issues include:
1) Ownership rX the Project. Possible Owners include: a) Private Developer; b) City of
Hydaburg; c) Haida Corporation; d) Alaska Energy Authority; e) Alaska Power and
Telephone; or f) Sealaska Corporation; or g) some combination of the above. Ownership
will affect financing methods, operations, permitting, and bidding requirements to name
a few.
·24-
2) Land Rights: Hydaburg City staff indicated that all project lands are believed to be
currently owned by the Sealaska Corporation, but that Sealaska was in favor of the project
and was open to negotiations. Oearly, decisions about land ownership, easements, or
rights-of-way need to be made, but full investigation of land rights issues was outside the
scope of this study. Costs for land owner negotiations are included in the project cost
estimate.
3) Presently, Alaska Power and Telephone is authorized by the APUC to sell electricity
in Hydaburg.
4) Financing and Sources of Funding: The sources of funding for the project, whether
they be bond sales, outside financing, grants, subsidies or some combination of these, will
affect the economic evaluation of the project and to some extent project schedules and
overall costs. Basic agreement on the approach to financing will clarify other issues and
focus the development effort.

VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Both projects appear to be technically feasible. The high cost of transmission lines
from Reynolds Creek is an apparent obstacle to development.
2. A land survey to determine the correct elevation of Lake 1013 should be performed
early in the development process.
3. Powerhouse locations and elevations at both sites need to be confirmed through land
surveymg.
4. If the decision is made to go ahead with a more detailed analysis of these projects,
recording stream gages should be installed at each diversion site. A significant amount
of local flow data must be collected before a more detailed hydrologic analysis could be
completed. The data collection process should be started as soon as the decision is made
to continue the project investigation.
5. The Reynolds Creek Project will likely require a FERC l1cense or Exemption. The
Lake 1013 Project should be able to avoid this requirement.
6. Agencies with jurisdiction should be contacted early in the development process to
obtain their input on all the known issues and to uncover any other potential issues.
Instream flow requirements, particularly on the Lake 1013 Project, will have a great
impact on annnal power generation predictions.
7. It should be DOted that 3 miles of the 3.7 mile Lake 1013 Project transmission line
could be reused as part of a future Hydaburg/Klawock transmission intertie.
