August 4, 1980 P5700.13.1G

D. MacDonald J. MacPherson L. Wolofsky

John Lawrence began the meeting with introductions of all participants,

followed by a brief summary of the agenda and speakers. A series of slides

and talk was used to give general background on the Susitna Study Project,

the various subcontractors forming the study team, and their role in over­

all project. This portion was concluded with slides taken along the Su­

sitna River Valley, starting in glacial headwaters and progressing into the

lower river basin. John Hayden gave a brief summary of the current status

on all the various subtasks, with the exception of Tasks 4 and 5 which

were discussed later in detail.

Existing Geologic, Geotechnical and Sei~mic Data

Virendra Singh summarized the geotechnical data currently available for

the four sites of interest; i.e., Denali, Vee, Devt"l Canyon and Watana. ,.

This data includes a summary of investigation COI!lpleted by others at each

site, significant features identified and conclusions about each site.

(see attached copieu of view graphs.) Some additiona1 data had only

recently been received and revie\'J and compilation (subtask 5.01) had

been consequently delayed.

SUS ITt~,~ INTERNAL REVIEW PANEL MEETING - cant' d page 2

Stewart Thompson gave a brief review of the regional and site speci.fic

geology for both proposed damsites·. The geologi'c history is very complex

and not well understoods Information at both sites is somewhat limited ' due to poor rock exposures. Field mapping program of damsites and reser-

-voirs is currently planned but access is very difficult. A series of

slides were presented showing general conditions and geology. At Devi1

Canyon there is believed to be a relict channel and possible shear zone_

on the left abutment which needs further investigation as it may have

serious impact on site suitability or type of dam. Also, possible stress

relief features (open fractures) exist in the 1eft abutment which need to

be drilled and verified.. It was recommended that in order to prove the

abutment suitable for an arch dam it may be necessary to excavate adits

in due course. Slope stability in the reservoir also needs to be investi­

gated. Permafrost conditions, thick overburden and steep slopes combined

with thawing and wave action produced by reservoir can potentially result

in localized beaching, slides and slope failures. There is a need to

identify potential problem areas and evaluate effects of such failures. It

was suggested that such slides will most probably occur and the effort in

the study should be directed towards a means of handling the problem.

The large waves created by earthquakes or landslides was discussed. Ade­

quate freeboard wou 1 d have to be rna i nta i ned in the reservoir .to hand 1 e

such cases.

1980 Geotechnical Field Program

Jim C.~ll reviewed the geotechnical program as originally developed for the

Plan of Study and the permitting requirements for the program. BLM is

lead agency, however, most activities are located on native lands. There

is presently a problem with the Chickaloon Village lawsuit over disputed

1 and c 1 aims which is interfering with fie 1 d programs. We are not a 11 owed

to work on disputed lands until the matter is settled. The major area

affected is borrow area Gat Devil Canyon (see map;. Based on a review of

existing data, budget and logistics, the original program as developed in

the Plan of Study was revised for 1980 11ith the inter•tion of providing an

increased amount of diamond drilling this year with sufficient work in

borrow areas to confirm materials and overlap next years program. The

revised program as shown in Figs. 1 thru 5, and detailed in Tables 1 thru 4 was discussed.

Following the recent site visit by S. Thompson, L. Wolofsky and P. Morris,

the program was reviewed and revised somewhat further. Based on. their

recommendations the total number of diamond drill holes to be completed

this year was revised to 3 at each site. (Watana BH-6, 2 & 8; Devil Canyon­

BH 1, 2, & 4.) The philosophy behind this change was to reduce the expen­

ditures during 1980 ~ile still maximizing the data obtained, and leaving

enough flexibility to allow for changes in layout which may result from

Task 6 studies and which would then be investigated in 1981. Present1y . .

BH-6 at Wa tan a is camp 1 ete and BH-2 is underway. The auger dri 11 i. ng pro-

gram is complete, but had some difficulties as the materials generally

contained boulders, particularly in borrow area E, and it was not possible

to get holes as deep as originally planned. This results in need for deep

test pits (probably in fall/winter) to obtain samples for lab testing.

Other areas which require some further discussion and development include:

- application of SLAR and low sun angle phatos for identification of perma-frost

- high moisture contents (>7%) from thawing frozt!n materials in borrow

areas will make handling and suitability of materials very questionable.

-intrume:ntation consisting of thermal probe arid piezometers has to be

evaluated further and the type and means of installation resolved. -

- existing piezometers installed by the Corps of Engineers should be

reinstated and read if possible. Interpretation of readin~is current­

ly difficult as rise~ .. pipes are filled with diesel fuel.

-possibility of using technical climbers at Devil Canyon for mapping.

Discussion: A general discussion of the morning's topics raised the following points:

- at Devi"1 Canyon there is a need to look at earth/rockfill dam alternatives

and possible borrow sources·fo·r construction materials.

all available geotechnical data pertaining to Devil Canyon is to be

reviewed in Buffalo ana commented on by the end of September.

- methods of sampling permafrost in rock and the significance to design

need to be reviewed. Past projects have used "chiller" set-up with good

results ..

There is a question of what temperature to use for solution to prevent

formation of ice during drilling.

- spillway designs and locations need to be detennined at both sites.

- it is desirable to minimize 1980 program and kee9 enough money and flexi-

bility to allow for layout changes in structures. 8nphasize features

this year which will have a major impact on site suitability.

- there is a need to advance. layout studies to late 1980 to allov1 suffi­

cient time for design of 1981 investigation program.

-tunnel alternative, layouts are underway. Any investigation (for tunne1)

will be done in 1981, bvt will be a major change to the original Plan of

Study.

- there is a need to resolve which load growth forecast the dam designs

are to be based on. It is possible to have range of sch~es for vari­ous forecasts.

- the earthquake factor to be used in design has to be established so pre­

liminary work can start. A figure of 0.68 mentioned in previous Corps

reports is a peak acceleration for 1 cycle and not for periods of strong

ground motion which is likely to be l/2 to 2/3 of this. An acceleration

of 0. 5 g is considered adequate for preliminary design. The impact of

such a factor on dam design should be evaluated as ~oon as possible.

1~80 Sesmic Studies;

Virendra Singh summarized the seismological studies presently being per­

fanned by Woodward-Clyde Consultants, which include installation of a micro

seismic monitoring network and identification and evaluation of potential

activity of faults within the project area. The primary objective of

these studies is to define the maximum probable earthquake distance from

sites and attenuation at the sites such that an appropriate earthquake

factor and gou nd motion can be se 1 ec ted for design . HCC is a 1 so sup posed

to evaluate potential for reservoir induced seismicity. It is expected

that a site meeting in late August wi 11 be held by wee with a preliminary

repm·t in October and a final report in November (see viewgraphs).

Discussion

There was some discussion about reservoir induced seismicity (RIS). wee

Pre 1 imina ry ev8. 1 uati on of his tori ca 1 data indicates about a 90% probab i1 ity

of reservoir i ndr :ced seismicity for Wa tan a and a 50% probabi 1 i ty for Devil

Canyon. General consensus was that (RIS) would occur, but that ma~nitude of resultant earthquake would be less than the maximum probable design

earthquake and should therefore not have any significant affect on design.

wee studies are geared toward developing the maximum probable earthquake

in project ar·ea and attenuation curves to each site. A\-:res is to select

design earthquake. It is considered that three months of monitoring of

the micro-seismic network would be sufficient this season, and that it is

not nece~~;sary to monitor al1 \'linter. Reservoir induced St~ismicity is a

potential psychological problem to people rather than a design problem.

There is some concern over the Susitna fault as to whether or not it

really is a fault, and if so, whether it is active. The location is

within about 2-3 miles of Watana damsite.

There was considerable discussion over what earthquake factor to use in

preliminary design.. Previous reports give values up to 0~68g~ which is

greater than any known values used for existing dam designs. It was felt

that this value is the maximum peak acceleration for one cycle and not

the value for the period of strong ground motions of significant duration

which would be used for design. Normally the value for design would be

2/3 to 1/2 of the peak. It was suggested that value for preliminary de­

sign should be 0 .. 5g and jt would be worthwhile to examine literature an

existing dams in high seismic areas to get a feel for what effect it will

have on the design of Watana or Devil Canyon. After reviewing the prob­

lem in-house the m~xt step would be to consult outside expertise via the

proposed review panel. A recent !COLD report has case histories of large

dam failure? .in China due to earthquake. It includes very detailed analy­

sis of failure mechanisms which. might prove useful.

There is a need to develop approximate.layouts of both developments by

early '81 so that investigation programs can be developed. It was gen­

erally considered better to spend extra time in the office now (earlier

than originally scheduled) developing layouts based an· assumpt·ions rather

than having to potentially waste time in the field on exploration of

non-feasible schemes.

Conclusions

Wrap-Up - Some of the key points which came out of the meeting were:

1) The schedule for layout studies must be re-examined and·accelerated,

such that preliminary layouts are available in early '81. This will

allc~ for flexibility in the design of the •a1 drilling program.

2) The type, layout and discharge channels for spillways must be

examined.

3) Earthquake factor to be used in preliminary design must be deter

mined.

Very little precedence exists for such high seismic regions. It

was suggested. that we assume 0. 5g unti 1 more data from t~CC becomes

available in the near future. Acres should review current desions . ..,

for dams in highly seismic areas with the possibility of requesting

outside opinions/expertise.

4) Devil Canyon will require adits to verify abutments for an arch dam

prior to design. In the original POS it had not been planned to use

adits until Phase II work. It will be possibie to use borehole data

and down-hole camera, geophysical logging and instrumentation both

to verify that the site appears suitable and that adits should subse­

quently be used to conffrm this.

5) To apply for the FERC license there has to be sufficient data for a

specific dam layout at a specific site to prove feasibility. Some

flexibility may be allowed for relatively minor changes after licens

ing~ but a major change such as type of dam, 01 .. location may not be

acceptable to FERC. It presently appears that it is not possible to

SUSITNA INTERNAL REVIEW PANEL MEETING - cont•d page a prove suitability of Devil Canyon site for arch dam by ll)id 1982 ·in view

of the need for adits not currently scheduled. Therefore it will prob­

ably be necessary to subm1t a license application for both dams with a

type of dam ather than an arch at Devil Canyon, or submit separate

applications as data becomes available. It remains to be determined '

if there is any way to delay submission of Devil Canyon section of

license application to allow sufficient time to satisfactorily prove

the suitability of the Devil Canyon site for an arch dam or other dam

type. There is also a problem with licensing if investigations prove

that one of the sites is not suitable~ and a new site has to be inves­

tigated. Data must be reviewed as it becomes available and discussions ...,

held with FERC people has been very cooperative in this respect thus

far.

6) The question of reservoir slope stability and how we are going to han­

dle it needs to be addressed further. From preliminary site reconnais­

sanc.e it.is obvious that beaching, thawing and slope instability will

occur with reservoir filling. There ·is a need to identify those

area which are likely to present problems, and to determine what effects

they wi 11 have on the reservoir and what measures~ if any, have. to be

taken. This problem will Le aggravated by the proposed 100-150

foot annual fluctuation in reservoir levels at Watana. Aesthetically

it could be a problem but should not have serious engineering impacts

on operation· of the reservoirs. It was .proposed that an in-house

review be made of reports for similar projects to determine what

alternatives have been used.

SUSITNA INTERNAL REVIEW PANEL MEETING - cont'd age 9

Externa1 .. ~.,Revi ew Panel

At present the status of the External Review Panel, originally scheduled ~

for late August, is unclear. A five mpruber review panel was recommended

to APA by Acres. · These recorrmendati ons are curr·ently being reviewed by the

APA Board of Directors. The last word was that APA may appoint another

·firm to interface with the panel.. It is 1 ikely that this firm vmu1d then

have Acres make a presentation to the panel and then make its own recom­

mendations to APA based on finds by the review panel. Scheduling of all

this is still undecided as the other firm has not been selected yet. It

was suggested that earliest possible meeting might be in late September.

In light of this situation it was suggested that we (Acres) should recom­

mend to APA a separate meeting of a smaller panel of outside consultants

(possibly members scheduled for the APA review panel) in the near future

to review our programs~ since the external APA review panel may be too

late to accomplish anything useful. This matter was to be looked into

further by John Lawrence.

Closing

Another meeting of the Internal Review Panel and Project Team was tenta­

tively scheduled for later this year to review the completed field data

and earthquake data from Woodward-Clyde.

If possible, site visits for review panel member will be arranged at

convenient times in the summer program, with possible on-site meetings.
