Executive Summary
HDR Alaska was contracted by the Inside Passage Electric Cooperative to develop conceptual
designs and analyze two small proposed hydroelectric projects for the community of Hoonah,
Alaska. The two projects being considered are the Gartina Falls project and the Water Supply
Creek project. Both projects are located on or near Gartina Creek approximately 3.5 miles
southeast of Hoonah. This work is being funded by grants from the U.S. Dept. of Energy and
Alaska Energy Authority.
This study prepared a conceptual design for each project along with a corresponding cost and
energy estimate. For the Water Supply Creek project, two powerhouse locations were evaluated.
The analysis concluded that each project is technically feasible. Cost estimates included the full
cost of project development and incorporated a 25% level of contingency. The first year annual
cost of energy includes financing costs, operations & maintenance, insurance and a repair and
replacement allowance. The results of the analysis are summarized below.

Total Project Cost $5.8M $6.5M $7.6M
1st Year Cost of Energy $0.28 $0.37 $0.38
The current avoided cost of diesel generation in Hoonah is approximately $0.24/kWh (fuel only).
Both projects are located at or upstream of the anadromous fish barrier so environmental
concerns related to salmon should be minimal. The Gartina Falls project effectively has no
bypass reach so an environmental flow release would likely not be required. The Water Supply
Creek project will likely be required to have an environmental flow release. Any agency
requirements in excess of what was assumed in this study will reduce the amount of available
energy and adversely affect the economics of each project.

1 Introduction
HDR was retained by Inside Passage Electric Cooperative (IPEC) to develop conceptual level
designs for two potential small hydroelectric projects near Hoonah, AK. The Gartina Falls
project is located on Gartina Creek. The Water Supply Creek project is located on Water Supply
Creek, a tributary of Gartina Creek. Both projects are located approximately 3.5 miles southeast
of Hoonah as shown in Figure 1.

Hoonah Hydroelectric Projects Page 2 February 2011
The work has been performed at a conceptual level with the intent of making an estimate of the
energy potential of the basin and the cost to develop the projects. The work scope included a
field visit to the sites by team members; a review of available project documentation and related
information; development of conceptual project layouts; a review of existing hydraulic and
hydrologic parameters; an estimation of energy production and new facility costs; and
preparation of this summary report. This work did not include an in-depth geotechnical
investigation.
2 Background Information
Both projects have been investigated at a reconnaissance level several times in the past with the
most recent work being associated with the Concept Design Report and Construction Cost
Estimate for Energy Projects in the Community of Hoonah prepared for the Alaska Energy
Authority by Alaska Energy and Engineering, Inc. (AE&E) dated May 29, 2009. The AE&E
report provides a concise summary of the previous investigative efforts and therefore they are not
repeated here.
3 Hydrology
3.1 Regional Hydrology
Gartina Creek is located on NE Chichagof Island, a large (> 2000 square-mile) island in the
Alexander Archipelago. The stream is near the town of Hoonah, and 40 miles west of the Juneau.
Climate is maritime, with major storm activity in late fall (October and November), snow
accumulation at higher elevations in the winter, and cool, rainy summers. Stream runoff on the
island tends to be flashy, with very little basin storage other than high elevation snowpack.
The longest gaged stream on Chichagof Island is USGS gage # 15106920 located on the
Kadashan River above Hook Creek. The daily average flows at this gage from 1968-2007 are
shown in Figure 2. This runoff pattern is typical of moderate-sized streams on Chichagof Island.

Hoonah Hydroelectric Projects Page 3 February 2011
Figure 2. Long-term average daily flows on Kadashan River above Hook Creek (USGS gage# 15106920)
3.2 Basin Characteristics
Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls drains 10.2 miles of forested, mountainous terrain. HDR installed
a streamgage on Gartina Creek immediately upstream of Gartina Falls on 6/15/2010, and records
are currently available through 11/08/2010. During this short period of time, flows ranged from 4
cfs to 166 cfs. The highest flows occurred in the late fall, near the end of the gaging period, and
the lowest flows occurred in late summer (Figure 3).

3.3 Comparable Gages
There are several creeks on Chichagof Island with gage records longer than 5 years, including
Tonalite Creek, Pavlof River, Kadashan River (lower and upper), Hook Creek (lower and upper),
and Indian River (lower) (Table 1). The longest gaged stream is Kadashan River above Hook
Creek, which the USGS gaged for a total of 37 years between 1968 and 2007. None of these
gages were in operation during the summer of 2010. All of the streams mentioned above have
similar unit runoff and respond to the same events. The main differences are in snowmelt runoff,
as would be expected with different drainage basin elevations (Figure 4).

The closest currently active gage to Gartina Creek is Montana Creek near Juneau, 40 miles to the
Northeast on the mainland. Although Montana Creek appears to respond to the same events as
Gartina Creek and the Kadashan River, it has higher summer runoff than both systems. This is
probably due to greater snowpack as the Montana Creek basin has twice the topographic relief of
the other two basins. The statistical correlation between Montana Creek and Gartina Creek is too

low to make it a reliable proxy for streamflow. The Chichagof stations listed above are all much
more similar to one another than they are to Montana Creek.
3.4 Kadashan River
Kadashan River above Hook Creek is nearly identical to Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls in
drainage area and similar in relief and aspect (Gartina Creek flows NE while Kadashan flows
NW). The former gage site on Kadashan is about 30 miles south of the gage site on Gartina
Creek. Precipitation is also similar: according to data from Jones and Fahl, 1994, the Gartina
watershed receives approximately 100 inches of precipitation per year, while Kadashan receives
approximately 110 inches. There are no mapped lakes, ponds, or glaciers in either drainage
basin. Both basins are forested, although portions of the Gartina Creek basin have been clearcut.
Gartina Creek also drains elevations that are a few hundred feet higher than Kadashan River.
Based on these similarities, Kadashan River above Hook Creek is recommended as a proxy to
Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls until more data on Gartina Creek can be collected.

3.5 Flood Frequency Analysis
Two methods are used to estimate flood magnitude and frequency for Gartina Creek at Gartina
Falls. The first is based on regression equations in Curran et al., 2003. This 100-year flood
estimate is 3900 cfs, and the 2-year flood estimate is 1390 (Figure 5). This is very similar to the
mean annual recorded peak on Kadashan River of 1325 cfs.

Conceptual Design Report
Hoonah Hydroelectric Projects Page 6 February 2011
Figure 5. Flood frequency curve for Gartina Creek based on the methods of Curran et al, 2003.
The second method is a Bulletin 17B analysis of flows at Kadashan River above Hook Creek.
The Bulletin 17B analysis using 37 years of record returns a 100-year flood of 2500 cfs and a 2-
year flood of 1100 cfs (Figure 6). The Bulletin 17B analysis has a smaller standard error than the
regression analysis and is therefore likely to be more accurate.

3.6 Hydrology Summary
3.6.1 Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls
Ideally, a historical record of stream flow of 30 years or more is desirable to analyze a stream of
interest. However, long-term stream flow records are not usually available for small or remote
streams and synthesized data is often created. For this study, the daily flows recorded on the
Kadashan River above Hook Creek were considered representative of the flows to be expected at
the Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls project site.
A flow duration curve and a graph of average monthly flows for the project site was produced
using this data and is shown in Figures 7 and 8.

3.6.2 Water Supply Creek
Water Supply Creek is a small, steep drainage basin that is tributary to Gartina Creek. The creek
was gaged concurrently with Gartina Creek in the summer and fall of 2010. This gage was
located at the existing water supply intake. Basin characteristics of Water Supply Creek at the
gage and upstream at the proposed hydroelectric intake, along with a comparison to Gartina
Creek are shown in Table 3.

A direct comparison of Water Supply Creek to Gartina Creek at the gage locations by drainage
basin gives a ratio of 0.19. This ratio yields a very close fit to measured flows during the summer
of 2010 (Figure 9).
Synthesized flows for Water Supply Creek at the intake site were derived by scaling the Gartina
Falls data by the ratios of drainage basins (0.15).
Figure 9. Measured flows at Water Supply Creek and Gartina Creek compared to flows calculated using the
drainage basin ratio.
4 Project Arrangements
4.1 Gartina Falls
The Gartina Falls hydroelectric project will be a low-head small hydroelectric project located on
Gartina Creek at Gartina Falls, approximately 3.5 miles southeast of Hoonah. There does not
appear to be a technically convenient way of creating a meaningful amount of storage. Therefore,
the project will operate in a run-of-river mode.
The following are the proposed project features:
A diversion structure at the head of Gartina Falls that will raise the water surface
approximately 15 feet. The diversion will consist of a center section with an inflatable
gate and concrete abutments. The abutments will have grouted rock fill on the
downstream side to provide stability. The center gate section will be lowered during high
flow events to add flood capacity and to pass accumulated sediment.

A concrete intake structure and sluiceway on the left (west) abutment of the diversion
dam. The flow diverted to the power plant will first enter the sluiceway, and then be
drawn through a trashrack into an intake chamber.
A 54-inch-diameter steel pipeline (penstock), about 220 feet long, will convey water from
the intake structure to the powerhouse. The initial 120 feet of the pipeline will have a
mild slope and be located on a bench cut into the hillside roughly parallel to the stream.
The final 100 feet will drop steeply down the hillside to the powerhouse.
A powerhouse approximately 25 feet by 20 feet and 15 feet high.
A horizontal axis cross-flow (Ossberger) turbine and induction generator with a rated
capacity of 445 kW.
A rock-lined tailrace to return flows to Gartina Creek near the base of Gartina Falls.
A small substation/switchyard located adjacent to the powerhouse.
A 12.5 kV transmission line, approximately 4.5 miles long, to transmit the power from
the substation/switchyard to an interconnection near the Hoonah airport.
An access road, approximately 0.5 miles long, connecting the powerhouse and the intake
structure to the existing timber harvest road 8503.
Pertinent project features are shown in Table 4. A project schematic is shown in Figure 10.
Project layout drawings and detailed project information is presented in Appendix A.

4.2 Water Supply Creek
The Water Supply hydroelectric project will be a medium head small hydroelectric project
located on Water Supply Creek, approximately 5 miles south of Hoonah. There does not appear
to be a technically convenient way of creating a meaningful amount of storage. Therefore, the
project will operate in a run-of-river mode.
The following are the proposed project features:
A diversion structure located on Water Supply Creek at elevation 768 that will raise the
water surface approximately 8 feet. The diversion structure will consist of a concrete core
wall with grouted riprap embankments.
A concrete intake structure and sluiceway on the right abutment of the diversion
structure. The flow diverted to the power plant will first enter the sluiceway, and then be
drawn through a trashrack into an intake chamber.
A low-level outlet to release environmental flows into the bypass reach of Water Supply
Creek.
A 20-inch-diameter steel pipeline (penstock) will convey water from the intake structure
to the powerhouse. The initial 1800 feet of the pipeline would have a mild slope and be
located on a bench cut into the hillside roughly parallel to the stream. The remaining
penstock to the powerhouse will be buried.
A powerhouse approximately 24 feet by 36 feet and 15 feet high.

5 Energy Generation
The energy generation for the projects was estimated using HDR’s proprietary software
“Hydroelectric Evaluation Program” (HEP). HEP has been specifically designed to model run-
of-river operations. HEP uses tabulated daily flows, turbine and generator efficiencies, friction
coefficients and physical parameters to simulate energy production through a period of record.
Turbine and generator efficiencies are determined from tables. Output from HEP consists of
effective capacity rating of the unit(s), simulated production in MWh, percent operating time and
overall plant factor.
5.1 Assumptions
The following are the key assumptions used in modeling energy production:
There would be no environmental flows required at the Gartina Falls project
For the Water Supply Creek project it is assumed that an environmental flow release into
the bypass will be a requirement of the resource agencies. A portion of the environmental
flow release will subsequently be used for water supply. A water supply reservation of 1
cfs was assumed for all cases.
Losses totaling 3% were included for station service, transformer and transmission losses
and scheduled downtime.

Hoonah Hydroelectric Projects Page 14 February 2011

Using these assumptions and the project configurations described above, the average annual
energy generation for each project alternative is shown below in Table 6.

6 Cost Estimates
An opinion of probable construction costs was derived for the projects presented above. The
approach used was to develop base work units and unit prices and then apply these units and
prices consistently to the various project features.
6.1 Contingency
A contingency of 25% was added to the the direct construction costs to reflect the uncertainty of
the layout and design that won’t be resolved until later in the development process.
Gartina Falls Water Supply Creek Hydroelectric Projects
Conceptual Design Report
Hoonah Hydroelectric Projects Page 15 February 2011
6.2 Indirect Construction Costs
Indirect construction costs associated with engineering, licensing, permitting, construction
management, and owner’s administration were added to the cost estimate as either percentages or
lump sum amounts.
6.3 Interest During Construction
An assumed financial cost representing the interest accrued at 5% APR during an 18 month
construction period was also included.

7 Project Economics
A detailed economic evaluation was not included in the scope of this work. However, in order to
get a conceptual view of the economics of the project generic financial assumptions were made.
The results are presented as the first year estimated annual costs per kWh in 2011 dollars. The
assumptions and results are presented below.
7.1 Financing Costs
Annual financing costs were determined assuming 100% debt and a constant principal and
interest payment calculated over 30 years at a 5% APR. All project costs have been assumed to
be capitalized.
7.2 Operations & Maintenance
First year O&M expense was assumed to include labor, direct and indirect expenses and
insurance. It was assumed that the project would be designed for un-manned operations and
would be part of a larger organization thereby the project would experience lower administrative
expenses. On-site O&M labor would be limited to periodic inspections and seasonal

maintenance. Total labor, expenses and owner’s G&A expenses were estimated at $50,000/yr. A
repair and replacement fund of $5,000 was also included. General liability and business
interruption insurance was estimated at $1.00 per $100.00 of asset. Any royalties associated
with land use are unknown and therefore have not been included.
7.3 Energy Cost Results
The average first year cost of energy for each of the projects is shown below in Table 9.

Average First Year Energy Cost, kWh $0.28 $0.37 $0.38
As with all hydroelectric projects, once the debt is paid off the only costs would be for O&M and
the energy costs will be significantly lower.
7.3.1 Grant Funds
The primary cost of energy values above do not reflect the benefit of any grant funds or low
interest loans often made available to rural energy projects in Alaska. The following table shows
the impact of several scenarios reflecting State of Alaska assistance.

$5M Grant Funds $0.06 $0.11 $0.15
7.3.2 Avoided Cost
The cost of hydroelectric energy will undoubtedly be compared to the equivalent cost of diesel
generation. IPEC’s current diesel plant produces 14.3 kWh per gallon of diesel fuel. At the
current average price of $3.50 per gallon, the raw generation cost of diesel generation is
$0.24/kWh. Hydroelectric power would also defer maintenance costs associated with diesel
generation but these savings are not reflected in the first year cost of energy comparison.

7.3.3 Environmental Issues
Environmental issues for hydropower projects typically center on fisheries issues. The fisheries
issue likely to have the greatest impact on project economics is the environmental flow that must
be maintained in the bypass reach. For the Gartina Falls project, the bypass reach is negligible so
it is unlikely that environmental flow release will be required.
For Water Supply Creek, there is a significant bypass reach and it has been documented that
resident fish reside in this area. Therefore, it is almost certain that an environmental release will
be required from the intake. A nominal 1 cfs has been assumed however this value is subject to
change following discussions with resource agencies. Increases in the environmental flow to
meet fisheries requirements or domestic water supply needs would have an adverse affect on
project economics for Water Supply Creek.
8 Operational Discussion
The following section discusses issues surrounding the conclusions reached in this study work
and the actual operation of the projects.
8.1 Utilization
For small electrical systems in Alaska, such as the one in Hoonah, the primary benefit from a
hydroelectric project comes from the avoided cost of diesel generation. However, operational
constraints necessary to provide a stable electrical system may limit the amount of energy from a
run-of-river hydroelectric that can be effectively utilized. To provide an initial assessment of
utilization, the energy potential of the projects was compared to the actual generation in 2010 as
shown in Figure 12 below.

As is shown in Figure 12, either one of the hydro projects could easily fit into the existing
electrical generation profile of the system and be 100% utilized. In the case of both projects
being constructed, there would need to be some curtailment of generation as diesel generation
would always need to remain on the system to provide frequency control. In the case of both
projects being available, curtailment of hydro generation in the order of 10-15% would likely
need to occur.
8.2 Downtime
The energy simulations indicate that either of the projects would experience some level of
downtime due to low water. For run-of-river projects this is to be expected during low water
years and/or periods of low flow on the annual hydrograph. However, in the case of Water
Supply Creek, this problem is exacerbated with increasing environmental flows in the bypass
reach. Prolonged downtimes can lead to increased maintenance and operational difficulties.

HOONAH HYDRO PROJECT
GILKES’ BUDGET OFFER FOR HYDRO TURBINE,

BUDGET PROPOSAL
Quotation Ref : BMS/Hoonah
Sales Engineer : Bruce Sellars

Date : 08 January 2011
Enquiry from : Leanne Greisen

Site location : Hoonah AK
Country : United States
PROPOSAL DISCUSSION
Gilkes has put together a preliminary turbine selection and some budget prices for the potential hydro project
at Hoonah AK. The selection is based on a net head of 400 feet and a flow range of 5 to 20 cfs.
There are three possible turbine options:
- 850P316 twin jet horizontal Pelton
- 20 inch single jet horizontal Turgo
- 15 inch twin jet horizontal Turgo
Efficiency curves for the three turbines are attached. I have also included some representative drawings.
The 850P316 is very close to an 825P316 that Gilkes recently installed at Carnoch Scotland. The 15 inch
Turgo is almost identical to the Coniston project located near Kendal, and the 20 inch is similar to the Garvan
project. The Gilkes Turgo is a very simple and reliable turbine with a long history of superior service.
The recommended turbine is the 15 inch twin jet Turgo for the following reasons:
- The Turgo turbines will be lower cost than the Pelton
- Turgo turbines have good erosion resistance and offer superior performance in applications with
poor quality water. Gilkes has several Turgo units operating in Alaska.
- The twin jet Turgo has better performance at lower flows than the larger diameter single jet unit
In the attached budget prices, we have included the inlet valve, turbine, generator, imbedded parts, turbine
control panel, HPU, shipping and installation supervision. I have included the special tools for installing and
maintaining the equipment.
The price does not include any civil work, or the electrical equipment for the station service, HVAC, SCADA,
or the transformers and switchgear to interconnect with the utility. The scope of supply for this equipment
varies significantly. Gilkes works with a number of electrical engineering firms and can provide a quote for
this equipment when we get more information on the project requirements.
The pricing, terms and technical specifications are subject to the negotiation of a definitive agreement.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or need any other information.
Yours truly,
