TO: CITY MANAGER, MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL
III FROM: GREG BOOTH, ACTING CITY LIGHT DIRECTOR
DATE: AUGUST 5, 1986
SUBJECT: MORSE CREEK PIPELINE ENGINEERING
BACKGROUND:
As part of our erosion control plan which was prepared to satisfy
our FERC license for Morse Creek, Hart Crowser, Inc. completed
a geotechnical assessment of the existing pipeline from the diver-
sion structure to the point where the penstock will tap the pipeline.
Additional investigations were made of two areas of concern. The
section of our erosion control plan addressing these areas are in-
cluded as Attachment #1.
Apparently due to the heavy rains which occurred last winter, the
section between station 51 +00 and 54 +q0 have deteriorated consider-
ably since our previous assessment. A relatively large slide ad-
jacent to the pipeline has occurred. Although the pipeline is not
in immediate danger, the large area of instability together with
the considerable amount of water in the area would indicate that
the pipeline will become exposed, and subject to considerable dam-
age, if remedial action is not taken.
ANALYSIS:
We have asked our consultant, Schuchart and Associates, to prepare
an estimate of the geotechnical and engineering design efforts required
for a repair of the area. Their estimate is shown as Attachment
#2. The estimated cost of engineering is $15,150, in addition to
the costs of a complete survey of the area ($2,750)
Another minor slide, which occurred earlier, was addressed in our
civil contract specifications. Total costs were approximately $30,000
including engineering. Repair work under that section is now under-
way. This work was submitted to FEMA for reimbursement at 50%.
Due to the slide which occurred early this spring, we believe that
it is prudent to repair the area to prevent major damage to the
pipeline. It is our understanding that remedial work on the larger
slide is also eligible for FEMA reimbursement.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend that Council authorize us to expand the scope of work
for the project to include engineering for pipeline repair increasing
the Schuchart budget amount to $180,000 and subconsulting (geotechni-
cal, surveying, and inspections) to $80,000.

Attachments
/3.2 Project Maintenance Programs:
Attachment la
A. Existing Pipeline: The existing 24 inch diameter pipeline is a part of an
emergency water supply system for the City of Port Angeles. The concrete
cylinder pipe was installed in 1962 and has been out of service since 1978.
The pipeline generally follows a flat grade along the steep valley sides of
Morse Creek. Where the pipeline crosses tributary valleys or gulleys, the
pipeline grade drops abruptly to remain buried, rather than being elevated to
hold grade. At these low points in the pipeline 6 inch diameter blow -off pipes
are provided to flush any trapped sediment that may have entered the pipe
and to completely empty the pipeline when not in use.
A geotechnical assessment was made of the existing pipeline and was included
in the License Application. In the report, several areas where soft soils, wet
areas or instabilities were visible were addressed.
Since that report, additional investigations of two areas of concern were made.
These areas are shown on Figure 1 at stations 51 +00 to 54 +00 and stations
92 +75 to 93 +35.
1. Stations 51+00 to 54 +00: A relatively largg tP 1 cio resent at
this location. Hill slopes surrounding the wetly area range from moderate
to steep and are generally greater than 30 degrees. The scarp itself
measured approximately 400 feet along the pipe alignment and was up to
40 feet in height. The existing pipeline was buried with up to 10 feet of
slide debris for approximately 50 feet along the alignment. A typical
section across the unstable area is given in Figure 3.
The hillside in this area is composed of four basic geologic units; fine
SAND, hard CLAY, sandy GRAVEL and BEDROCK. The fine SAND
comprises the upper part of the slope and appears to be at least 30 feet
thick. This sand also comprises the steep, upper portions of the scarp.
Underlying the fine SAND is a layer of hard, gray CLAY approximately
8 feet thick. This layer presents a relatively impermeable horizon which
would impede the downward movement of ground water in the overlying
sand. Beneath the CLAY is a sandy GRAVEL with scattered thin,
horizontal layers of silty clay. Apparently the pipeline was initially
entranced within this material. Towards the bottom of the slope, the
sandy GRAVEL is underlain by BEDROCK of the Twin River
Formation, which outcrops in Morse Creek.
The base of the scarp is covered wish lnnse,, wet slide debris which
contains organic and various amounts of soil from the upslope soil units.
Past and present slope movements probably result from periods of
increased or prolonged precipitation which cause a loss of cohesion,
increased unit weight and seepage forces in the sand overlying the
relatively impermeable clay.
Since the pipeline appears to have been installed beneath the clay layer,
the fine SAND layer is sloughing down over the pipeline. It appears that
the pipeline is being protected from movement. The pipeline was filled
14
15
Attachment 1 b
by the Port Angeles Water Department in 1985 and checked for leakage.
No leakage was observed.
Potential measures for preventing any continued sloughing of the upper
soil unit were discussed along with relocating the pipeline. The results of
these discussions indicated that any major work at the site would be very
expensive and might only increase instability. The present plan for
project operation includes regular inspection of the entire pipeline. It is
proposed that this area be visually monitored on a regular basis to detect
any worsening condition. if, at a later date, the area exhibits an
immediate danger to the integrity of the pipeline, then corrective
measures will be applied.
2. Stations 92 +75 to 96 +00: On area of steep to very steep slopes with cliffs
of bedrock occurs between Stations 92 +75 and 96 +00. In this vicinity, the
existing pipeline rests in benches cut into the steep bedrock slopes. The
pipeline is supported in some sections on these benches by timber
cribbing or concrete block footings. Areas along this portion of the
alignment exhibit slabbing of bedrock off the steep cliffs. Debris from
the cliffs fails to accumulate on the slope and falls to Morse Creek
below, due to the steepness of the slopes. An area of concern occurs in
the vicinity of Station 93 +00:
Bedrock in this area consists of interbedded sandstone and siltstone with
minor amounts of conglomerate. The main discontinuities observed and
measured in the field consist of bedding and jointing. Bedding strikes
subparallel to the pipe alignment (north 10 to 30 degrees west) and dips
from 20 to 25 degrees to the east. The primary joint surfaces also strike
subparallel to the alignment North 10 to 20 degrees West) and dip steeply
at 70 to 75 degrees to the west. A sketch of the relationship of the
geology and discontinuities to the existing pipeline in the vicinity of
Station 92 +75 is given in Figure 4.
Open joints and tension cracks were observed in bedrock at the top of
the slope as far as 20 feet from the slope crest. Open joints provide
pathways for plant roots and ground water to penetrate between joints,
allowing for increased hydrostatic pressures, greater mechanical
weathering action (freeze /thaw, etc.) and decreased factor of safety. The
principal hazards to the pipeline in the vicinity of Station 93+00 include
rockfalls of loosened rock blocks from the exposed face, and toppling
failures of single or multiple jointed rock slabs. Toppling failures are
possible due to the adverse dip of joints and bedding, and the fact that
the joints are at least in places, open and no longer in close contact.
Measures investigated to better protect the pipeline included rock bolting,
additional cribbing and removal of the cliff face. After studying the
first two options it appeared that these would be both expensive and only
temporary in nature. The best way to increase the protection of the pipe
would be to remove the cliff face by blasting. The blasted rock would
fall and enter Morse Creek below. In addition, after having a contractor
experienced in rock blasting look at the site, it appears the existing

TO: CITY MANAGER, MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: R. L. SAVILLE, -CITY LIGHT DIRECTOR
DATE: MAY 20, 1986
SUBJECT: FALLS CREEK HYDRO ENGINEERING CONTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Included in our 1986 budget are funds for the engineering and
purchase of the mechanical /electrical package for the Falis Creek
Hydroelectric Project. In a November 19th letter authorized by
the City Council and signed by the Mayor, the City agreed in
principle to the Power /Project Purchase tentative agreement with
Falls Creek Small Hydro. This agreement was restated in greater
detail in our letter to Falis Creek Small Hydro of March 25, 1986
(Attachment #1)
In order to have the plant in operation by the February 3, 1987
deadline mandated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
we are working in three areas: (1) Negotiating transmission agree-
ments with the interconnecting utilities (see Attachment #2), (2)
Developing final contract documents based upon the tentative agree-
ment and subsequent letters; and (3) Developing specifications
for the mechanical and electrical package.
ANALYSIS:
We are proposing to purchase the turbine, generator, transformer,
and controls (mechanical and electrical package) for this project
by a performance type specification, in the same manner we are
doing with Morse Creek.
In order to accomplish this, we have reviewed the qualifications
of consulting firms and requested a proposal from Schuchart and
Associates for design and procurement services. These services
would not be as extensive as we are currently obtaining in the
Morse Creek project. The proposed of engineering contract is
shown as Attachment #3. The estimated cost of this contract is
$28,000. This amount does not include any plan and profile work
on the penstock. If necessary, local surveyors would be employed
to complete work of this nature.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that Council authorize the Mayor to execute an agree-
ment with Schuchart and Associates for design engineering services
as specified in th, attached m ope o ork.

and a non-e '<ciusive easement to the site will be transferred to
City Liart. After ownership is transferred City Licht shall there-
after pay a royalty of 6 mills per kWh of output (53,000 year
minu.mum), except as noted below. Royalty payments shalt perma-
nently cease if City Lignc elects to make a one -time payment of
530,000 to Falls Creek Small Hydro.

This Letter is in response to your Letter dated February 11, 1986, concerning
the =LIS Creek Hydroelectric Project (Fails _S CrP.. °__L)
In order for the Bonneville Power Admiaistracian (BPa) to make a contractual
commitment to provide firm wheeling for Falls Crek, a number of procedures
Have to be completed:
(1) BPA must complete its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
procedures on Falls Creek;
(2) BPA must assess the impacts co fish and wildlife in accordance with
the Pac? r? c Nartnwes t p1 Power Planning and Canservac Act:
and
(3) The resource owner must demonstrate that Fails Creek is in camp Banco
w__h Federal, State, and other license or approval processes.
In addition to the above procedures, all Of the following conditions must be
met before a firm transmission contract can be executed:
(2) The Federal, State, and /or ocher Licenses for Fails Creek must be
issued; and
(3) Procedures for scheduling and agreements covering the installation of
metering and communication equipment or other facility additions
necessary for integration with the existing system must be completed.
(1) a ;owe= sales cont=act between the resource owner and the City of
Port ,n;eLes (Port Angeles) must be signed and a cape provided to 3PA;
2
BPA will require the installation of RMS metering at the project. An RMS
metering package normally includes CT's, PT's, JEM solid state meter, and RMS
remote unit, direct telephone service, and a suitable metering enclosure.
Costs or these facilities would be paid by Port Angeles through a reimbursable
agreement. Typical costs for RMS metering are about 120,000 to 150,000,
de?end the re u
n to emits of the installation.
The above processes and conditions can be very time-consuming and my office
will only be able to move expeditiously with the full cooperation of
Port Angeles and the resource owner. Therefore, to get this project moving, I
will direct my staff to arrange a meeting to discuss the details of this
project and gather specific information required for the reimbursable
agreement. Port Angeles should make available to us at this meeting
information concerning Fads Creek's expected completion date, online date,
rated output, electrical one -line diagram from the generation to BPA's system,
and Port Angeles's desired delivery point. Since Port Angeles is acquiring
Falls Creek under the terms of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies
Act (PLRPA), Port Angeles should also provide us with the data currently
available to Qualif facilities on avoided COS:3, interconnection costs and
standards for operation re1_ability as required by PURPA. In addition to this
basic information, Port Lgele and resource owner should n
s d tae cur,. owe_ shou_d mak� available
information concerning Federal, State, Otier licenses, and any environmental
retorts or assessments tnat have been Completed.
Based on your i�r we know that Falls Creek is a PiJR resource located

TO: CITY MANAGER, MAYOR, AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GREG BOOTH, POWER MANAGER
DATE: JULY 5, 1983
SUBJECT: MORSE CREEK HYDRO PROJECT
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS:
The attached project schedule and cost summary shows the point at which
we are now at with the project. At this time, in order that progress
can continue, it is necessary to proceed with certain studies that are
a prerequisite to filing for a project license with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC).
We have worked with our consultant on the project, Schuchart and Associates,
to develop a proposed scope of work to develop the necessary information
and provide assistance to staff in obtaining a license from FERC.
The additional studies are as follows:
1. Geotechnical investigations this work will provide the basis for
determining an exploration program (drilling, test pits, etc.) necessary
for the design engineering phase of the project. This study will be of
benefit in further refining the engineering cost estimates.
Total Estimated Cost $4,600 (Hart Crowser and Associates)
2. A Minimum Instream Flow Study this study will be used to determine
appropriate minimum flows for the bypassed section of stream. The Study
is required for FERC determination of minimum flows as a condition in the
license.
Total Estimated Cost $20,500 (NORTEC)
3. Environmental studies studies required for Exhibit E of the license
application: Vegetation, Wildlife, Water Quality, and Historical and
Archeological Resources.
Total Estimated Cost $6,000 (Schuchart /NORTEC)
4. Licensing 100 hours of technical assistance to be available on an
"as needed" basis to City Light staff for assistance with license and
permit application (Schuchart).
Total Estimated Cost $4,500
Including a 15% contingency allowance, the total cost of the additional
studies is $41,165. However, since we are currently under budget, an
increase of $39,500 should be adequate.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Council authorize the Mayor to execute an amend-
ment to the Engineering Services Contract with Schuchart and Associates
to complete the additional studies and to increase the budget from
$49,300 to $88,800.

Re: Engineering, Environmental and Licensing Services
Morse Creek Hydroelectric Project Revised Phase II
We are pleased to submit our revised estimate for Phase II
engineering services for the Morse Creek project. This es-
timate is based on the results of our Phase I feasibility
study and the decision by the City Light Department to pro-
ceed with development of project Alternative 1. The deci-
sion to not pursue Alternatives 2 or 4 because of higher
unit energy costs has enabled us to use some of the Phase II
feasibility study funds for final detailed site investiga-
tions and environmental study work.
The major items of work in the proposed scope of work include
conducting an IFG-4 level instream flow study, environmental
studies required for the FERC license application Exhibit E,
and detailed surveying and geotechnical work. The objective
of these studies is to provide sufficient information to pre-
pare a FERC license application and a definitive project cost
estimate.
We look forward to working with you on the licensing, design
and construction of your hydroelectric project. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to call.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Under this revision to the scope of its existing contract with the
City of Port Angeles, Schuchart Associates, Inc., will provide
engineering, environmental and licensing services for the Morse Creek
hydroelectric project. Our Phase I feasibility report suggested four
possible alternatives for developing hydroelectric generating facili-
ties on Morse Creek. Alternatives 1 and 3 would utilize the existing
diversion and water transmission system. The proposed plant capaci-
ties for Alternatives 1 and 3 are approximately 515 kW and 550 kW,
respectively. Alternatives 2 and 4 require extensive modification to
the existing system. The proposed plant capacities for Alternatives 2
and 4 are approximately 3,570 KW and 3,820 kW, respectively.
Based on the preliminary unit cost of energy calculated for each
alternative, the City of Port Angeles wishes to consider development
of Alternative 1. Design of this alternative will be such that the
project can be expanded to the capacity of Alternative 2 at a future
date.
The revised scope of work described herein generally supersedes the
scope of Phase II of the existing contract.
2.0 SCOPE OF WORK
Schuchart Associates proposes to supply engineering, environmental
and licensing services to further the development of the proposed
hydroelectric project. In this project phase, the following tasks
will be completed:
a. Studies to further define geotechnical conditions and a
recommended program for design geotechnical exploration and
analysis.
b. Surveying in sufficient detail to enable final project design
to commence.
c. Environmental studies required in Exhibit E of the FERC
license application.
d. IFG 4 level instream flow study.
e. Technical assistance to Port Angeles City Light's staff for
preparing a FERC license application.
f. Refined project cost estimate.
The following work plan describes in further detail the activities
that will be completed during this project phase.
2.1 Engineering:
2.1.1 Surveying:
We propose that Clark Associates, Inc. provide the
following services:
a. Horizontal and vertical control to provide cross
sections and a topographic map of a strip of land 300
feet in width and approximately 1,000 feet long for
the proposed powerhouse Alternative 1.
b. Horizontal and vertical location of powerhouse access
road route.
All work provided in Items a and b will be related to the
section subdivision for said Section 29 to enable de-
scriptions of the selected pipeline alignment, access
road and powerhouse siting to be written for the FERC
license application.
2.1.2 Geotechnical Investigations:
We propose that Hart Crowser Associates, Inc., conduct
supplemental geotechnical work to further define condi-
tions for the various project elements identified in
Phase I. The initial work on the project pointed out
potential areas that may require further study. This
work will provide a basis for determining the specific
-2-
nature and extent of explorations (drilling, test pits,
etc.) necessary for design of the project.
We propose that Mr. Terry Olmstead, Principal Engineering
Geologist, and Mr. Peter Douglass, Principal Rock Mecha-
nics and Tunneling specialist, observe the various areas
of potential concern identified in the initial report.
Particular emphasis will be placed on areas of instabi-
lity along the existing pipeline route and at the pro-
posed penstock and access road routes.
Following the field reports, a report will be prepared
summarizing our findings and outlining a recommended
design geotechnical exploration and analysis program.
2.1.3 Powerhouse, Penstock and Access Road Location:
Based on the detailed information provided in Subsections
2.1.1 and 2.1.2 above, the location and orientation of
the powerhouse, penstock and access road will be deter-
mined.
2.1.4 Project Cost Estimate:
The Phase I project cost estimate will be reviewed and
updated to reflect the additional detailed information.
The cost and configuration of the major electrical/
mechanical equipment will be established more accurately
by specific inquiries to recognized manufacturers.
2.2 Environmental Studies:
2.2.1 An IFIM -IFG4 (instream flow study) will be conducted on
the reach of Morse Creek below the falls which will be
by- passed by the proposed project. The following work
will be performed:
a. Preliminary consultations with regulatory agency
personnel regarding study parameters.
b. Aerial observations.
c. Two reaches examined with 8 -10 transects per reach.
c. Data to be delivered will consist only of weighted
usable area curves for each species and field notes-
a formal report or agency negotiations are not in-
cluded at this time.
2.2.2 Studies required for the following sections of FERC
Exhibit E will be conducted.
a. Vegetation.
b. Wildlife.
c. Water quality.
d. Historical and archaeological resources.
Work for each study will include data collection and
appropriate narrative for inclusion of FERC Exhibit E.
2.3 Licensing:
2.3.1 Technical assistance will be available on an "as needed"
basis to Port Angeles City Light's staff for preparation
of the FERC license application and permit applications.

SUBJECT: MORSE CREEK FEASIBILITY STUDY
ANALYSIS /BACKGROUND
In October of 1982, with Council authorization, we published a Request
for Proposal (RFP) for a Feasibility Study for the Morse Creek Hydro
Electric Project. We received and evaluated seven proposals, and
recommended that Schuchart and Associates, Inc., be retained to
complete the study.
With Council approval December 21, Staff negotiated an agreement with
the consulting firm for the proposed assignment for a price not to
exceed the estimated $49,300.00. The study is to be complete in time
for the required June 1, 1983 progress report to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that Council authorize the Mayor to sign the contract with
Schuchart Associates, Inc.

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, MORSE CREEK FEASIBILITY STUDY
BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS:
In June of this year we filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-
mission (F.E.R.C.) an application for preliminary permit to study the
Morse Creek hydroelectric site. We expect to obtain the permit from
F.E.R.C. sometime in the next several weeks.
Since our own staff expertise in this area is limited, we propose
asking for a Request for Proposals (R.F.P.) from hydroelectric engi-
neering firms to assist us in analyzing the feasibility of constructing
the proposed project.
The scope of work involved is significant and will become a major
criterion in determining whether the project can be completed. Follow-
ing staff's review of the proposals Council will be requested to ap-
prove a formal agreement with one of the firms sometime in December. It
is estimated that the study will cost $20,000- $40,000 and will take
several months to complete. Most of the expenditures would occur next
year and funds have been budgeted in the 1982 and 1983 annual budgets.
If Council approves, we plan on issuing the R.F.P. (attached) approx-
imately October 25, 1982 and asking that the proposals be submitted to
us by November 26, 1982.
RECOMMENDATION:
We recommend the Council approve our request to ask for R.F.P.'s on the
Morse Creek Hydroelectric Project Feasibility Study.

Council has previously authorized Staff to proceed with the issuance
of a Request For Proposals to professional consulting firms for the
purpose of completing a feasibility study for the construction of a
small hydrogeneration facility on Morse Creek.
Staff has received seven proposals from major firms and has completed
an in -depth evaluation of their proposed work. The amount of $60,000
is set aside in the 1983 budget for the study.
Staff met with the Utility Advisory Committee on December 14th and
discussed the proposals. The firm of Schuchart and Associates has
been tentatively selected to perform the study for the cost of $49,300.
The plan is to negotiate a firm price agreement to perform the work
for the amount shown and to then return to Council on January 4, 1983
for permission to execute the contract.
It is recommended that Council authorize Staff to negotiate an agree-
ment with Schuchart and Associates to perform the Feasibility Study
on the Morse Creek small hydro project for an amount not to exceed
$49,300.
