Economic Analysis Guidelines?Western Area Power Admin
Guidelines addressing methods and procedures for evaluating benefit and cost components of power projects are being prepared for Western Area Power Administration to use in economic analyses...

Mini/Micro Hydro Applications in Remote Off-grid Areas of Ontario
This paper outlines the potential for remote off-grid small hydro development in Ontario and the present incentives that exist to develop these resources. Estimated costs of development...

Hydro Activities Through the 1990's: Focus on Relicensing
This paper discusses some of the more significant issues facing relicensing applicants in light of the new ECPA amendments to the Federal Power Act (FPA). In addition, some ideas for planning...

A Case Study: Relicensing of Pensacola Hydropower Project
The current license for the Pensacola Hydropower Project (orginally licensed in 1939) will expire in 1988. The relicensing process for the project currently is underway. During the consultation...

Staged Water Resource Development Can Improve Economics and Advance Project Implementation
This paper provides reasons for staging, and describes functional types of staged developments, and planning and evaluation of these developments. Many water resources projects can be...

Studies of Fish Protection Methods at Hydroelectric Plants
Five largely untested but economical fish-protection systems were tested at sites throughout North America. The process of selecting laboratory and field test sites was completed at the...

Development of Turbine Intake Downstream Migrant Diversion Screen
Prior to the spring of 1986 Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County had developed a passive turbine intake screen design. A prototype of this design was placed in the emergency gate...

Protection of Juvenile Anadromous Fish
Protection of juvenile anadromous fish (salmon, steelhead, etc. ) during their seaward migration is a major concern in the Pacific Northwest. The existing screening structures at the head...

Arbuckle Mountain Hydro Vertical-Axis Fish Screens
Fish screens to exclude small fry and debris at remote sites such as Arbuckle Mountain Hydroelectric Plant post unique design considerations to satisfy criteria established by fisheris...

Effects of Selective Withdrawal and Hypolimnetic Releases on Downstream Fish Resources
Selective withdrawal (multilevel outlet) structures on dams can be operated to modify reservoir discharges with the goal of improving downstream water quality and fish resources. A study...

An Approach to Addressing Interactive Effects of Multiple Hydro Projects in a River Basin
Cumulative effects issues continue to arise, not only related to multiple small hydro projects, but also to multiple relicensing of major projects, development of multiple projects at...

The Role of Hydrologic Forecasts and Water Management in Support of Fisheries Enhancement
With the passage of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980 and the adoption of the Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program in 1982, a new mandate...

Cumulative Impact Assessment: Issues to Consider in Selecting a Cumulative Assessment Method
Because widespread interest in the subject is new, there are no standard or generally recognized methods for cumulative impact assessment. A method should include procedures for (1) evaluating...

Cumulative Impact Assessment: Application of a Methodology
The authors expanded upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) Cluster Impact Assessment Procedure (CIAP) to provide a practical methodology for assessing potential...

Field Experiences in Improving Water Quality Downstream From Dams
Recent experiences by the Tennessee Valley Authority in improving water quality and fish habitat downstream from dams are presented. At Douglas Dam, floating pumps near the surface of...

Reservoir Releases Improvements?Requiem for Integrating Pollution Control and Resource Management Programs?
To better define the interrelationships between economic growth and development, pollution control, and water resource management, TVA conducted two studies that examined how reservoir...

Instream Flow Values and Power Production
An approach relating the value of water instream to water flow in the stream results in a continuous function of value versus flow. This function is developed using the Physical Habitat...

Project Alternatives to Benefit Endangered Species
In April 1986, the Missouri River Division, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, determined that operation of the main stem system had the potential to adversely affect the listed species. Consultation...

Instream Flow Methodologies and Requirements
Instream flow is a term applied to the discharge occurring downstream from and at least partly controlled by a dam or diversion structure. The volume and timing of instream flows most...

Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Resource Response Analysis
The primary objective of the Glen Canyon Environmental Studies is to determine how the resources of the Grand Canyon respond to the operations of Glen Canyon Dam. Two levels of analysis...
