Ward, District Clerk Dated: PYRAMID LAKE PAIUTE TRIBAL COUNCIL By APPROVED: Michael Thorp, Attorney for the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Council -10- Johannes J. 1-)eVrics, 1'li_1.3., 13.I1_ 324 Encina Avenue, Davis, California 95616 July 27, 1952 Mr. Kenneth B. Peters James Hansen and Associates Consulting Engineers P. O. Box 1206 Roseville, CA 95661 Dear Mr. Peters: This letter is a report on my research on the effect of the proposed Boca Hydroelectric Development, Little Truckee (fiver, on nitrogen saturation levels in the river below the dam. A question has been raised concerning possible changes in dissolved nitrogen levels in the waters of the Little Truckee River immediately below the proposed hydroelectric plant at Boca Darn. If these levels are increased, harm to the fish in the river could result; nitrogen supersaturation levels of Ito percent and greater cause "nitrogen bubble disease" in fish; the results of which are often fatal. To summarize the results of my research into the specific problem at Boca Dam, I have concluded that the proposed power plant will not increase the nitrogen supersaturation level in the Little Truckee River. There may even be a decrease in the supersaturation level as a result of the decrease in air entrainment at the dam outlet due to the power plant operation. There are three possible causes of the nitrogen supersaturation at Boca Darn. The actual source will have to be determined through measurements in the field; however, pinpointing the source is not essential at the time, since the main concern here is evaluating the effect of the proposed hydroelectric development on the nitrogen supersaturation in the river. The .possible sources are: 1. Entrainment of air at the needle valve at the present reservoir outlet. 2. Nitrogen gas dissolved in the reservoir water. 3. Nitrogen gas which is picked up by the water upstream from Boca Reservoir--at the outlet of Stampede Dam or due to natural causes in the river upstream from Boca Reservoir. For the first case, the proposed hydroelectric generation features will greatly reduce the amount of water which will pass through the needle valves, which now entrains a great deal of air. This adds a large amount of nitrogen gas from the atmosphere to the water, which may be already at or near saturation. When the power plant is put into operation, the water will pass through the turbine and will be discharged below the surface of the tailwater pool downstream from the dam. Thus, it will not have an opportunity to pick up additional nitrogen. In this case, it will be expected that the water passing through the turbines could have a nitrogen level which would be lower than water released through the needle valves. Exhibit In the second and third cases listed shove, it would be expected that the nitrogen levels downstream from Boca Dam would be the same with the hydroelectric plant as with the present release features. The water .will pass through the reservoir in the same way in both cases, and the reservoir releases will be made following the same criteria, since power generation will utilize the reservoir releases as they occur. Back round Information on Nitrogen Supersaturation Problems The problem of nitrogen supersaturation has been acute on the Columbia River and its tributaries, and it is from studies of this problem as it relates to Colurbia River projects that most-of the knowledge of nitrogen supersaturation in rivers and its effects on fish has been developed. A body of literature has been developed on the subject, and a list of the references which have been reviewed in this study is given as an attachment to this report. Most of the references deal with the engineering aspects of the nitrogen supersaturation problem, while the remainder deal with the effects of dissolved gas supersaturation on fish. Most of the problems result from water discharged over dam spillways in which a water stream or jet carries air down to some depth below th_ surface in the spillway stilling basin. A good deal of this air becomes dissolved in the water, and because water under high pressure can hold in solution larger amounts of gas than lower pressure water, the water can be supersaturated at the surface while at saturation or less than saturation at some depth. All atmospheric gases can cause problems with fish at high supersaturation levels; however, nitrogen is the most prevalent atmospheric gas, and since it is relatively inert, it usually is present in greater amounts than oxygen. En fact, oxygen is frequently depleted in reservoirs and rivers, and even though large ` amounts of air may become dissolved in the water, the dissolved oxygen does not teach supersaturation levels. Thus, nitrogen gas supersaturation is the major culprit in causing gas bubble'disease in f ish. Gas Bubble Disease Gas supersaturation in rivers has caused fish kills as a result of gas bubble disease. fish in a water environment in which dissolved atmospheric gases are in a supersaturated state develop gas bubbles in their tissues and circulatory system. The gas bubbles interfere with blood circulation and can cause infections. Gas saturation levels greater than 115 percent are known to be fatal to trout (Colt, et at., 1979), and some sources say that the fatal levels may be as low as 110 percent or less. Gas bubble disease has generally been regarded as being caused by supersaturation of atmospheric nitrogen gas; however, research using other gases indicates the total gas pressure is the major factor in causing gas bubble disease. The effects differ from gas to gas, but since nitrogen is the most prevalent gas in the atmosphere it is likely that it is the primary cause of gas bubble disease in most cases. Process of Nitrogen Supersaturation The problem has been very severe in rivers in the Pacific Northwest (Columbia, Snake, and Kootenai Rivers) which have a "stair-step" series of reservoirs. During periods of high runoff (generally during the spring snowtnelt period) large volumes of water are discharged over dam spillways. When this water plunges into the spillway t stilling basin, large volumes of air are entrained and go into solution. In contrast, when all the water passes through the turbines and navigation locks, the nitrogen supersaturation problem does not exist. Exhibit �� Although a deacration process occurs which releases the dissolved lases back to the atmosphere, this is a relatively slow process, and the reduction in supersaturation is small over many miles of river. On the Columbia River, for example, high levels of nitrogen supersaturation exist from the Canadian border all the way to the river's mouth at the Pacific Ocean, even though there are no dams (and spillways) on the last 145 miles of river. Dissolved nitrogen in the water impounded in the depths of a reservoir can become supersaturated when the water is discharged at atmospheric conditions. Tile solubility of nitrogen gas in water varies with the local water pressure. Wafter at the lower reservoir depths may contain nitrogen at less than saturation levels. However, if this water is drawn out of the reservoir and then discharged to the atmosphere, the nitrogen in the water will likely be supersaturated. Gas supersaturation can occur in natural streams which do not have dams as a result of air entrainment at rapids and waterfalls. Nitrogen supersaturation has been observed on the Salmon River where there are no dams, but where "white water" conditions prevail over a good deal of the river. Another cause of natural supersaturation is due to the warming up of a cold water stream containing nitrogen at near saturation levels. As the temperature of the water increases, it can contain less gas in solution, and supersaturation results. Results If nitrogen supersaturation exists in the Little Truckee River below Boca Dam, it may result from one or more of the causes discussed above. No matter what the source, however,_ nitrogen supersaturation levels will not be increased as a result of the proposed Boca Hydroelectric Development, if it is designed and operated as currently planned. . And, there can be a reduction in dissolved nitrogen levels as a result of water passing through the turbine rather than being discharged through the needle f - valves as is presently done. tnesJ. 1,UohaDeVries, Ph. , P.E.
