CONVERSION FACTORS

For readers who may prefer to use metric (International System) units rather than inch-pound units, the conversion factors for the terms used in this report are listed below:

SEA LEVEL

In this report "sea level" refers to the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD of 1929)-- a geodetic datum derived from a general adjustment of the first-order level nets of both the United States and Canada, formerly called "Sea Level Datum of 1929."

NOTE

A section entitled "Accuracy of Records" is included under the description of the individual sites for which discharge is computed. The accuracy of streamflow records depends primarily on: (1) the stability of the stage-discharge relation or, if the control is unstable, the frequency of discharge measurements; and (2) the accuracy of observations of stage, direct (current meter) measurements of discharge, and interpretation of the data.

The U.S. Geological Survey has historically used subjective terms to describe the degree of accuracy of streamflow records. The term "excellent" means that about 95 percent of the daily discharge figures are within 5 percent of the true value; "good" records are within 10 percent of true value; and "fair" records are within 15 percent. Records are rated "poor" when they do not meet the above criteria. Different degrees of accuracy may be attributed to different parts of a given record (e.g. "fair" when affected by ice, but otherwise "good").

HYDRQLOGIC DATA COLLECTION ACTIVITIES IN THE

SOLOMON GULCH BASIN NEAR VALDEZ, ALASKA

by Bruce B. Bigelow

INTRODUCTION

In 1981, the Alaska Power Authority (APA) completed construction of a dam and spillway at the north end of Solomon Lake near Valdez (fig. 1). As part of the APA - U.S. Geological Survey cooperative program, the Survey began to collect streamflow data in the Solomon Gulch basin in September 1986. This report briefly describes the water diversion facilities, their effects on streamflow, and the data*collection activities.

Elevation of the dam on Solomon Lake is 695 ft and the spillway elevation is 685 ft (from construction plans). Water from the lake is diverted, by means of two 48-inch diameter penstocks (figs. 2-4), to a Copper Valley Electric Association (CVEA) powerplant near tidewater at Port Valdez. From the powerplant, water is diverted (by various routes; see fig. 4) to the Valdez Fisheries Development Association (VFDA) fish hatchery, which lies across the Valdez Marine Terminal Highway from the plant. The hatchery also receives water from Solomon Gulch via the Falls Creek Diversion, located about 600 ft upstream from the mouth.

Solomon Gulch flows northerly into Port Valdez from the mountains southeast and across Port Valdez from the city of Valdez (fig. 1). The headwaters of the gulch originate at the base of several small glaciers at altitudes of 3,000 to 4,000 ft and flow northerly for about 8 mi to Solomon Lake. Water diverted for power generation draws the lake level down and substantially reduces flow in the natural channel of Solomon Gulch during winter months. In spring, runoff from melting snow and ice begins to refill the lake, and in most years the lake begins to overtop the spillway by early July. Water then flows through a small lake and eventually rejoins the natural channel below the dam. Between the lake and tidewater at Port Valdez, the channel is very steep, is incised in near-vertical rock walls, and includes a series of waterfalls. The channel itself is mostly bedrock, although the more gently sloping parts of the streambed are covered by gravel- to boulder-sized material.

The Geological Survey collected daily streamflow data at a site near the mouth of Solomon Gulch from July to December 1948 and from October 1949 through September 1956. Regulation and diversion from the dam since 1982 have significantly altered the natural flow characteristics of Solomon Gulch. In September 1986, data collection was begun in an attempt to determine mean daily discharge at four sites below Solomon Lake and thus document the effects of regulation and diversion of water on the flow at various points in the system. Periodic discharge measurements and continuous records of water stage are being obtained at two of the sites, and daily discharge values are being computed for all four sites. Descriptions of the

DATA-COLLECTION SITES AND DISCHARGE RECORDS

Solomon Gulch Tailrace near Valdez

(USGS Streamgaging Station No. 15225996)

Description of site: Location is at weir in the discharge pool downstream from the CVEA powerhouse, 350 ft upstream from mouth of the tailrace at Solomon Gulch. Elevation is about 40 ft above mean sea level; flow is not subject to tidal influence.

Stage measurement and discharge values: Continuous stage record is obtained with an electronic data recorder located on the powerhouse "catwalk" and a pressure transducer installed in the weir pool. The concrete weir 35 ft below the powerhouse (fig. 5) provides a stable control for the gage pool. Water discharged into the tailrace (fig. 6) has passed through one or both turbines for power generation. Discharge values here represent flow past the weir and do not include any of the diversions to the VFDA hatchery.

Stage-discharge relation and discharge measurements: A stage- discharge relation developed for this site is verified by ongoing direct measurements near the weir. Twenty-six measurements were-made between September 1986 and August 1988.

Accuracy of records: The weir is virtually free of debris and does not appear to be affected by backwater from snow or ice. Records of discharge from the powerplant are available for comparison. Records of discharge at this site (table 1) are generally considered good.

Solomon Gulch Bypass near Valdez

(USGS Streamgaging Station No. 15225998)

Description of site: Location is in a pool at base of the farthest downstream falls on Solomon Gulch (fig. 7), 100 ft upstream from Solomon Gulch Tailrace and 300 ft upstream from the mouth at Port Valdez. Elevation is about 25 ft above mean sea level, and flow is affected (backwater) by extreme high tides on Port Valdez.

Stage measurement and discharge values: A continuous record of water stage in the gage pool is provided by an analog recorder driven by a gas- purge manometer system; the orifice is installed in the pool and the recorder is located in the CVEA powerhouse. Large boulders at the outflow from the pool create an extremely stable control for the gage pool.

Figure 7. - Solomon Gulch Bypass.

Discharge values here represent flow over the spillway of the dam on Solomon Lake plus any inflow between the dam and the gage, minus the Falls Creek Diversion. Because channel conditions almost always prevent direct measurement of discharge near the gage pool, values of discharge at this site are determined by measuring discharge in Solomon Gulch below its confluence with the powerhouse tailrace and subtracting the discharge at the tailrace (station No. 15225996, Solomon Gulch Tailrace) at the time of measurement.

Stage-discharge relation and discharge measurements: A stage- discharge relation was developed for this site and is verified by periodic current-meter measurements. Twenty-three measurements were made between September 1986 and August 1988. On July 29, 1988, a direct measurement was also made between the gage pool and the mouth of the tailrace (fig. 8). The results verified the computed discharge with 1.2 percent.

Accuracy of records: The stage-discharge relation (rating curve) for this site is subject to considerable deviation or shifting. During summer and fall, various types of debris -- leaves, twigs, and dead salmon -- lodge between the boulders and raise the level of water in the gage pool. In winter, the stage-discharge relation is affected by backwater caused by snow and ice on the boulder control. Records of discharge (table 2) are considered good, except for those during periods of ice effect, which are rated as fair to poor.

Solomon Gulch at Top of Falls

(USGS Streamgaging Station No. 15225997)

Description of site: Location is at the top of a series of falls; 100 ft downstream from the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company bridge, and 0. 3 mi upstream from the mouth at Fort Valdez. Elevation is 400 ft above mean sea level, from topographic map.

Stage measurement and discharge values: Water stage is not being recorded. Daily discharge values for this site are determined by adding values of the Falls Creek Diversion, provided by employees of the VFDA hatchery, to daily discharge values for the Solomon Gulch Bypass site (station No. 15225998). Water is diverted to the hatchery via the Falls Creek Diversion, located about 1,000 ft downstream from this site and about 300 ft upstream from the bypass gage site.

Profiles of the high-water marks for the flood of October 11, 1986, and channel geometry on the upstream side of the pipeline bridge were surveyed in July 1987. Computations from this indirect measurement survey indicate a peak flow of 3,280 ft3/8 through the bridge opening. Figure 9 shows the maximum height of the water surface about 100 ft upstream from the bridge. At peak stage of the flood, water was in contact with the bottom upstream bridge stringer.

Discharge measurements: Only two direct measurements of flow have been made at the "Top of Falls" site -- on September 24, 1987 and on July 29, 1988.

Accuracy of records: The direct discharge measurements indicate that computed discharges are from 5 to 10 percent low in the 150 to 200 ft s /s range. However, overall records of discharge at this site (table 3) are considered to be of fair to poor accuracy.

Solomon Gulch near Valdez

(USGS Streamgaging Station No. 15226000)

Description of site: Location is at mouth of Solomon Gulch at Port Valdez (sea level), 3.8 mi southeast of city of Valdez.

Discharge values: Neither discharge nor water stage are measured at this site. Computed discharge values represent the total flow for Solomon Gulch. This includes flow at Solomon Gulch Tailrace (station No. 15225996), Solomon Gulch Bypass (station No. 15225998), the Falls Creek Diversion, and all penstock diversions to the VFDA hatchery. Tables of daily diversion to the hatchery are provided by VFDA. However, because the hatchery discharges "used" water directly into Port Valdez, direct measurements of that discharge for verification are virtually impossible.

The average annual discharge of Solomon Gulch at its mouth for water years 1950-56 (7 years), before any regulation of flow, was 144 ft s /s; the computed mean discharge for water year 1987, adjusted for changes in storage in Solomon Lake, was 194 ft s /s, about 35 percent higher than the earlier, longer term average value. This higher value seems reasonable if it is compared to the nearest long-term station in a comparable environment, Power Creek near Cordova (USGS streamgaging station No. 15216000). The average discharge at Power Cre.ek for water years 1950-56 was 248 ft s /s. Mean discharge at Power Creek for the 1987 water year was 317 fts /s or 28 percenthigher than for the 7-year period.

In addition to the calculated "actual" daily flow values at the site,

the Geological Survey publishes an additional set of monthly flow values, adjusted to account for changes in storage in Solomon Lake. This is an attempt to "reconstruct" natural or unregulated runoff patterns for Solomon Gulch.

Accuracy of records: On the basis of comparison with Power Creek, and on the expected accuracy of records for other data-collection sites in the basin, records of discharge at the mouth of Solomon Creek (table 4) are considered good.
