1 Sullivan Lake Cold Water Intake Pend Oreille PUD No. 1 of Pend Oreille County, WA April 7, 2016

2 Project Location Sullivan Lake

3 Project Location Pend Oreille River Sullivan Lake

4 Project Team Project Team Owner: Pend Oreille PUD No.1 of Pend Oreille County, WA Engineer: McMillen Jacobs Associates Contractor: Karnath Contracting, Inc.

5 Project Background Project Goals Lower creek temperatures downstream of the dam to improve native bull trout habitat through cold water releases during summer months Limited rehabilitation of existing dam and gates Original timber crib dam built in 1909 Concrete dam constructed in 1923 and refurbished in 1994

6 Project Background Major Project Features Reservoir Intake Cofferdam Cold Water Pipeline Dam Penetration and Discharge Control Gate Control Building and Air Burst System

7 Project Design Criteria Design Criteria Maximum Design Flow: 160 cfs Max WSEL: Min WSEL: Screen Centerline EL: Pipeline Inside Diameter: 47.5-in (HDPE) Screen Opening Size: 1/16 Slot Screen Approach Velocity 0.4 ft/s Screen Cleaning: Air Burst System

8 System Operation System Operation Outlet and Sullivan Creek temperature and flows are recorded by instream sensors Temperature and flow data is sent back to the control building via radio PLC performs mass balance equation for desired blended temperature PLC modulates discharge gate position as required

15 Intake Design Characteristics Screen Structure Twin 6-ft diameter by 16.5 ft long tee style screens connected on a common header Supported on piles driven into reservoir bottom

16 Intake Air Burst System Air Burst System Air lines travel from control building to tee screens Each tee screen has it owns air burst line Burst of air travels through the line and the out of the screens to remove debris Screens are cleaned based on head differential Always manually activated to ensure no boaters are present

17 Intake Tee Screens

18 Cofferdam Cofferdam Placed to allow approach channel pipeline section to be installed in the dry Sheet pile vibrated into place U-shape to minimize overall length Bypass system required for 10cfs after installation
