| Summary: | The objective of this technical memorandum is to document the procedures for modeling the fluvial geomorphology of the Susitna River below Watana Dam. The overall goal is to model and evaluate the potential Project effects of the proposed Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project on the fluvial geomorphology of the Susitna River and tributaries, and provide input to other team members for evaluating potential Project effects on habitat. The results of this and other geomorphology studies will be used in combination with geomorphic principles and criteria/thresholds defining probable channel forms to predict the potential for alterations of channel morphology. The purpose of this technical memorandum is to explain the proposed approach, including which models will be used, for the Susitna River fluvial geomorphology modeling and provide opportunity for other study team members and licensing participants to provide feedback on modeling approaches to ensure that the needs of all parties are being met, to the extent practical. |
