| Summary: | The overall objective of this study is to make preliminary estimates of the overall sediment balance in the middle and lower river segments under pre-project conditions and the potential magnitude of the changes that will occur under maximum load following OS-1 hydrologic conditions, including the specific assessments of the following, interrelated topics: (1) determination of the suitability of previously published sediment transport relationships between discharge and sediment load and update the relationships if necessary; (2) selection of the most appropriate sediment transport relationships for use in the preliminary sediment balance; (3) use the selected sediment transport relationships to estimate the pre-project and maximum load following OS-1 annual loads. The sediment loads will be divided into wash load (silt and clay), sand load and gravel load; (4) comparison of estimated annual sediment loads at the three mainstem Susitna River gages to characterize the overall sediment balance under pre-project conditions and the potential changes under maximum load following OS-1 conditions. |
