PENNSYLVANIA DAMS FIELD TRIP When: Thursday, September 15 : 8:30 am – 4:30 pm Where: Conowingo Dam, Muddy Run Park and Visitor’s Center, and Holtwood Dam Conowingo Dam is a 94 feet high concrete gravity hydropower dam that was built in 1926-1928. The dam is 4600 feet long, impounds 310,000 acre-feet of water and extends 14 miles upstream. The structure is located 10 miles above the Chesapeake Bay on the Susquehanna River in Cecil and Harford Counties in Maryland. The drainage area above the dam includes a 27,500 square-mile watershed originating in New York State. The dam serves as a major hydropower generator for the Exelon Power Company and provides water supply for the City of Baltimore, Peach Bottom Nuclear Plant, and York and Chester Counties in Pennsylvania. The powerhouse includes 11 turbines that can generate 512 megawatts of power. The top of the dam includes a major highway, U.S. Route 1. The Conowingo Dam and Powerhouse are manned 24 hours a day and inspected daily by plant employees.

River flows greater than 85,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) are passed through 50 crest gates each 38 feet wide and 22.5 feet high. The crest gates can pass 16,000 cfs at the normal operating pool. The crest gates are lifted and lowered by three gantry cranes. About 40 days a year, the Susquehanna River flows exceed the hydraulic capacity of the powerhouse turbines. During these times crest gates are opened to pass higher flows.

varies from El. 167.5 from May 15 through September 15 to support lake recreational uses and access to El. 163.5 during the balance of the year. A $440 million expansion project added 125-megawatts of generating capacity to Holtwood in November, 2013. The Holtwood Project includes 14 hydroelectric generating units with a total hydraulic capacity of 61,500 cfs. The generating units are housed within concrete buildings adjacent to the 2,392-foot long concrete gravity dam. The Holtwood project includes a fishlift which carries both migratory and native fish past the dam to spawning areas upstream in the Susquehanna River.

The Project also operates a whitewater facility that provides recreational opportunities for boaters at various times throughout the year.

A tour of Holtwood will include a presentation on the history of the project followed by visits to the control room, legacy station generator floor, main spillway, skimmer wall, forebay intake area, fish lift, legacy station gatehouse, new plant expansion facility, and station tailrace.

Registration Information: $75 per person includes motorcoach transportation, guided tours, box lunch and beverages.

This tour will include a presentation on the history of the dam, visits to the control room, the turbine hall, and the fish passage operations, as well as the rare opportunity to view American Bald Eagles at Fishermans Park, just below the generating station.

The Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility is a pumpedstorage hydroelectric plant owned and operated by Exelon Power. The facility’s 1000-acre upper reservoir is surrounded by a 700-acre recreation park known for its camping, fishing, boating and bird-watching opportunities. The field trip bus will stop at the Muddy Run Recreational Park and Visitor’s Center for a picnic lunch.

The Holtwood Hydroelectric Project, owned by Brookfield Renewable Energy, is located in the town of Holtwood, Lancaster County, on the lower Susquehanna River in southeastern Pennsylvania. The Holtwood plant has been generating electricity since 1910, using water power from a 55-foot-high concrete dam across the Susquehanna River between Lancaster and York counties. Upstream of the dam is Lake Aldred, a popular boating and recreation area which covers 2,400-acres. The impoundment is currently managed to maintain maximum normal operating headpond at El. 169.75. The concrete crest of the dam is at an elevation of 165.0 feet above sea level. The effective height of the dam is increased by an additional 4.75 feet to elevation 169.75 with the combined use of wooden flashboards and Obermeyer inflatable gates. The Project’s minimum operating level

The field trips are always very beneficial and interesting.

Definition and Evaluation of Internal Erosion Potential Failure Modes When: Thursday, September 15 : 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Instructors: John W. France, P.E., D.WRE, and Jennifer L. Williams, P.E., AECOM

Every year, dam and levee owners face the challenge of expensive infrastructure remediation associated with the potential failure of dams, levees, and other water retention structures. These increasing costs, risks, and consequences force owners and engineers to look for cost effective means to assess the condition of dams and levees. Geophysical technologies are proven, cost effective tools for the large scale, holistic assessment and internal imaging of dams and levees. However, these technologies are often not well understood within the engineering community and are often overlooked in favor of more traditional, yet limited, geotechnical exploratory techniques.

This workshop will re-introduce geophysical technologies to the dam safety community and will provide an overview of various geophysical technologies and how they are being used for dam and levee assessment. The workshop is designed to capitalize on the interaction between professionals in engineering, geology, and geophysics all working within the dam safety community. In addition to sessions on the theory, proper use, and limitations of geophysical technologies, the workshop will include presentations on state-of-the-practice methodologies, advancements in the state-of-the-art imaging and monitoring of small and large structures, case studies where geophysical tools were used to successfully assess dams and levees, and expert panel discussions focused on the practical application of geophysics to “real world” dam and levee projects. Make plans to join us for an interactive,

Defining and evaluating internal erosion potential failure modes (PFMs) can be especially challenging, whether completing a potential failure modes analysis (PFMA) or a risk analysis. There is a myriad of combinations of internal erosion failure paths and particle erosion mechanisms. If the PFMs are not thoroughly described and well understood, the true risks to dam safety may not be recognized. This one-day workshop will provide practical guidance on describing and evaluating internal erosion PFMs. The workshop will integrate the recommendations from several recent guidance documents, including the U.S. Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation’s (Best Practices in Dam and Levee Safety Risk Analysis) and the ICOLD (International Commission on Large Dams) bulletin on International Erosion of Existing Dams, Levees and Dikes and Their Foundations. Specific topics to be addressed include: (1) various loading considerations including normal

SPECIALTY TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS operations, flood and seismic loading, and temporary construction, (2) initial brainstorming and screening of internal erosion PFMs, (3) preparation of detailed, event node based descriptions of PFMs, (4) integration of failure mode pathways and internal erosion mechanisms into PFM descriptions, and (5) guidance concerning factors to consider in assessing PFM likelihood. The workshop will be interactive, with lectures combined with the presenters facilitating discussions of the various aspects of PFM descriptions and evaluations based on example dams.

Presenters will bring lessons learned from projects for various agencies involved in PFM evaluations, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s recent initiative on improved PFMAs. The workshop will be equally applicable to dams and levees. After this workshop, attendees will be better prepared to complete high quality evaluations of internal erosion PFMs. Professional Development Hours: Up to 7.5 professional development hours are available for attending the full workshop. Attendees will receive a form on which to record contact hours for continuing education credits.

Registration Information: The registration fee for this oneday workshop is $300 per person. Please include this fee with your regular conference registration on page 29. The registration fee includes all course instruction and materials, continental breakfast, and coffee breaks.

Dam Removal Training When: Friday, September 16 : 8:00 am – 5:00 pm Instructors: Laura Wildman and Paul Woodworth, Princeton Hydro; Amy Singler, American Rivers; and Jeff Boyer, RiverLogic

This is a full day training workshop/course for all professionals who are currently or may soon be involved in a dam removal project (engineers, scientists, planners, and project managers). The workshop will focus on the key issues to investigate when proposing to remove a dam (i.e. sediment management, socioeconomics, ecological impacts, etc.), and methods by which dams are removed, as well as lessons learned from numerous dam removal projects already completed in the United States. The workshop will describe how dam removal projects are currently being prioritized, initiated, funded, investigated, designed, implemented, and monitored. The workshop will be given by water resource, geotechnical, and fisheries engineers, a fluvial geomorphologist, and a contractor who have collectively managed, designed and implemented over 100 dam removal projects.

Topics: 1) Dam Removal Overview 2) Initiating, Managing, Permitting & Funding a Dam Removal Project 3) Analyzing & Managing Impounded Sediment 4) Removal Techniques & Constructability 5) Lessons Learned 6) Dam Removal Construction Videos 7) Monitoring Professional Development Hours: Up to 7.5 professional development hours are available for attending the full workshop. Attendees will receive a form on which to record contact hours for continuing education credits.

SOAPBOX SESSIONS Is It Us Against Them? Part II: Let’s Hear From Both Sides Of The Design Review Process When: Monday, September 12 : 10:30 am – 12:00 pm Moderators: Gregory Paxson, P.E., Schnabel Engineering; and Michele Lemieux, P.E., MT Department of Environmental Resources & Conservation A Soapbox was held at Dam Safety 2015 to present the findings of an ASDSO Task Force and ongoing work by the Design and Construction Committee. The Task Force performed evaluations of the design review processes of state dam safety programs and the Committee is finalizing a white paper providing guidance on these processes. The Soapbox included the following topics: • Role and qualifications of the reviewer • Qualifications of designers submitting products for dam safety reviews • Review processes (focus and extent of review, duration, number of reviewers, etc.)

• Ethical considerations and liability potential (designer and reviewer) • Organization and content of review letters • A discussion of design phases for simple and complex projects • A description of existing state regulatory procedures that allow for providing feedback prior to final design

Regulator Actions for Unsafe Dams When: Tuesday, September 13 : 10:30 am – 12:00 pm Moderator: Keith Mills, P.E., State Engineer, OR Water Resources Department The issue of regulatory action for deficient dams was a major discussion topic at a Soapbox session at the 2015 National Conference in New Orleans. Many questions were raised, including: • How much information is needed to require the dam owner to modify the dam?

• How is information from engineering consultants used in this process?

• What are the options (including rehabilitation, restriction, or removal) for making the dam safe?

• Do states require unsafe dams to comply will all standards for a new dam?

• How much time is allowed to bring the dam into compliance?

The 2016 soapbox session is intended to generate the exchange of ideas on effective actions on unsafe dams. It will include discussion of methods used to find and then take action on those dams that pose the greatest risk to the public. This includes but is not limited to enforcement.

Audience discussion of the roles of dam owners, agencies and engineers will be encouraged. Lead dam safety officials from several States will facilitate this soapbox.

For Dam Safety 2016, a follow up “Town Hall” discussion will allow conference attendees to weigh in on their experiences with design reviews. This session will be a moderated discussion with all session attendees. We hope to give all attendees the opportunity to weigh in on this important dialogue. Details are still being developed for a survey of the conference attendees, either prior to or during the session.

The Soapbox sessions were great! As a regulator I benefitted from the open discussion.

NETWORKING One f the most valuable experiences you can have at a conference is networking. While the conference schedule can make it hard to find time to meet new people, ASDSO has built in numerous opportunities for you to expand your professional network and meet new dam and levee safety professionals. Aside from the technical sessions, workshops, and field trips below are a few of the many opportunities you will have to meet new people.

Exhibit Hall The networking hub of the conference, the exhibit hall offers a plethora of opportunities to network with fellow attendees.

Receptions and Special Events Two evening receptions will be held in the exhibit hall, Monday, September 12 and Tuesday, September 13 from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm both nights. Enjoy appetizers and network with over 100 exhibitors where you have the opportunity to learn about the latest, and greatest products and services available. In addition to the receptions, lunch is provided in the exhibit hall on Wednesday, September 14, and breaks are held in the exhibit hall on Tuesday, September 13 and Wednesday, September 14.

Kickoff Event at the Fairmount Water Works Start your conference off right by joining us for a special kick-off event at one of Philadelphia’s most unique historic venues, The Fairmount Water Works. It doesn’t matter if this is your first conference or your 33rd this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Learn more about this amazing opportunity on page 8.

Dine Around The annual conference dine around will take place on Tuesday, September 13. Past attendees have told us repeatedly that participating in the dine around is the perfect place to meet new people from across the country (and the world) and share experiences in a casual environment. Watch www.DamSafety.org for more information as the conference approaches.

Young Professionals Meet and Greet Stop by the resource center during either of the evening receptions on Monday, September 12 or Tuesday, September 13 to learn more about how young professionals can be a part of ASDSO and how ASDSO can help you in your career development.

Resource Center & Lounge Located in the center of the exhibit hall, the Resource Center & Lounge is the perfect place to relax, recharge your batteries (as well as your phone), and meet new people - or catch up with old friends.

ASDSO Golf Outing Like your networking mixed with some friendly competition?

If so the ASDSO golf outing is the perfect event for you. Just register and ASDSO will plug you into a foursome. For more information see page 13.
