Using Project Management Techniques in Hydro-Relicensing
To answer a pressing need for managing today's complex process and requirements of hydro relicensing, Central Maine Power Company (CMP) has applied the principles of project management,...
Environmental and Hydraulic Considerations in the Design of a Circulating Water Cooling System
Environmental considerations play an important part in the design of a condenser cooling system. A once-through system may require assessment of a combination of events to determine the...
Sensitivity of Gulf of Maine Tide Model to Depth
A 2-D tide model of the Gulf of Maine failed to produce accuracies necessary for the de-tiding of Geosat satellite data. A subsequent sensitivity analysis indicated that the model was...
Design of a Lined Landfill on Compressible Clays
In mid-August, 1989, a 500,000m3 landslide occurred at a commercially operated landfill in central Maine. The landslide material consisted of municipal...
Modeling a Small Side Channel Spillway-Model Testing Need Not Be Expensive or Time-Consuming
Effective hydraulic modeling can often be done without sophisticated laboratory equipment and instrumentation, yet provide adequate design information in less time and at less cost than...
Uprating, Modernization and Automation of a Vertical Francis Turbine Generating Unit
The power demands of the Boise Cascade Paper Mill in Rumford, Maine are partially satisfied by two hydro-generating plants located in the near vicinity. In 1984 several factors prompted...
New Vs. Old? A New Capacity Question Facing Hydropower Redevelopers
Determining the extent of PURPA-qualified 'new capacity' which may be created as a result of the modification/rebuild/redevelopment of existing projects is a...
International Strategies for Coastal and Marine Management in the Gulf of Maine
Now that the international maritime boundary dispute between Canada and the United States has been delineated by the International Court of Justice, it is appropriate to consider how the...
Port of Eastport, Maine: A Growing Breakbulk Cargo Port (
The Port of Eastport accommodated over 90,000 tons of international waterborne trade in 1986. In 1980, this trade-related port operation was non-existent. A Cargo Facility Economic and...
Chronic Marine Pollution: A Maine Case Study
The State of Maine has adopted the concept of cumulative impact in assessing the environmental impact of coastal development projects and resulting discharges to coastal waters. In the...
Restoration of Atlantic Salmon to Maine: Overcoming Physical and Biological Problems in the Estuary
By the early part of the Twentieth Century, all native runs of anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) were extirpated from rivers of the United States, with the exception of a few small...
Estimating Low-Flow Frequencies of Ungaged Streams in New England
Equations to estimate low flows were developed using multiple-regression analysis with a sample of 48 river basins, which were selected from the U. S. Geological Survey's...
Mini Hydro at the Hackett Mills Project
The project includes rehabilitation of a timber crib dam and the first use of a Right Angle Drive turbine in the United States to generate power from the 16 feet of head available at the...
Port Expansion of Eastport, Maine
A recent pier expansion now allows Eastport to provide 40 feet of water at low tide. The pier expansion consists of a concrete-decked steel pipe pile-supported extension to an existing...
Atlantic Striped Bass Conservation Act: Unconstitutional Amendment of an Interstate Compact?
The striped bass (Morone saxatilis), a popular and valuable resource which migrates through eastern coastal waters from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada, has experienced serious decline in...
Dual Drainage System Balancing Design Using Microcomputer Simulation
This paper describes the development and application of microcomputer software titled INTERHYD for design of a dual urban drainage system in Portland, Maine. The design problem consisted...
3-D Orthogonal Curvilinear Circulation Modelling
A three-dimensional circulation model has been developed using an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. The model as constructed is capable of simulations on a variety of time and...
