I 0.J3B SURVEY REPORTS
NOE AVAILABLE
power survey reports on
four prospective sites on the
Kenai Peninsula are now
available in various offices
of the Geological Survey* The
sites include Grant, Ptarmi
gan, Cooper and Creaoent
Lakes in tha Kenai .Mountains
between here and Seward*
The report has been pre
pared by Arthur Johnson arid
states that because the sites
are located in areas of sev
ere winter temper.!tures (30
to 40 degrees below zero Fah
renheit during most winters),
"This climatic feature must
be given due consideration in
the design of the various
structures required for power
development.”
Streamflow records avail
able for evaluating the po
tential power, cover a seven
year period -for Grant and
Ptarmigan creeks and a five
year period for Cooper and
Crescent creeks. They show
a pronounced variation dur
ing the year as well a3 from
one year to the next. There
fore reservoir storage to
equalize the flow is a prime
requisite for power develop
ment .
.ill four lakes provide
favorable opportunities for
such storage. Relatively in
expensive dams ranging in
height from 20 to 50 feet can
be built at the lake out lets.
Water can be conveyed from
storage sites to * the power
sites through pipelines or
tunnels of reasonable lengths
utilizing a fall of approxi
mately 250 feet for Grant
Lake, 345 feet for Ptarmigan
Lake, 745 feet for Cooper
Lake and 1,000 feet for Cres
cent Lake* ^
The total estimated po
tential power for the four
lakes is 11,000 kilowatts, for
90 percent of the tiine and
14,000 kilowatts for 50 per
cent of the time*
