ABSTRACT The baseline limnology of Seminoe, Kortes, Pathfinder, and Alcova Reservoirs, on the North Platte River in Wyoming, was studied by Bureau limnologists during 1976-79. The study period included 2 years of severe drought followed by two of higher than average runoff in the North Platte basin. The reservoirs differ greatly in volume and operating patterns: Seminoe (1.25 x 10° m3) is mainly for 6 8 power production; Kortes (5.88 X 10 m3) and Alcova (2.27 x 1 0 m3), flow regulation; and Pathfinder (1.25 x 10° m3), for storage.

Facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin Above and Including Guernsey Dam and the Four Inland Lakes Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska
PREFACE This report documents the operation of all Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin above and including Guernsey Dam and the four Inland Lakes near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This area of the North Platte River Drainage Basin is simply referred to in this report as the Basin. References to average in this document will refer to the average of the historical record for the years 1981-2010, except for water year 2012 information which uses the years 1982-2011. In each coming year this period will be advanced by one year to maintain a running 30-year average. INTRODUCTION The System of dams, reservoirs, and powerplants on the North Platte River (referred to as the "System" in this text) is monitored and in most cases operated and managed from the Wyoming Area Office in Mills, Wyoming. The operation and management of the System is aided by the use of a Programmable Master Supervisory Control, computerized accounting processes, an extensive network of Hydromet stations, control crest measurement weirs at gaging stations, SNOw TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations, and a snowmelt runoff forecasting procedure used by the Water Management Branch. The System consists of a number of individual water resource projects that were planned and constructed by Reclamation. The individual projects and features are operated as an integrated system to achieve efficiencies that increase multipurpose benefits. The drainage basin which affects the System covers an area from northern Colorado to southeastern Wyoming, encompassing 16,224 square miles. Storage reservoirs in the System include four off stream reservoirs known as the Inland Lakes in western Nebraska as shown in Figure 21.

UNITED STATES DEPAR'IMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF RECLAMATION Branch of Design and Construction Laboratory Report No. 3.4 Engineering and Geological Control Hydraulic Laboratory and Research Division Compiled by: J. N. Bradley Denver, Colorado J. B. Drisko March 15, 1935 Reviewed by: · E. W. Lane Subject: Hydraulic model experiments for the design of the Seminoe Stoney-gate Spillway. SUl/.iMARY Model tests of the original design showed the Seminoe Spillway to have ample capacity for the maximum discharge. Flow in the chute, how ever, was rather rough, unsymmetrical, and noisy. Tests indicated that flow conditions could be improved by making a few minor changes on the model. The design recommended by the Hydraulic Research Department had incorporated in it the following revisions: a. A revised gate section, rectangular in shape down to the piers; b. Pier tailpieces toed in 0.94 feet from their designed pos{tions toward the centerline of the spillway9 c. The upper portion of the chute reshaped so as to correspond to the revised gate section; d. Wing-walls having radii of 16 feet on each side above the gate section; e 0 The outlet channel rotated so as to be on line with the ·rest of the spillway. For the sake· of economy, the floor of the approach channel was raised 12o5 feet to elevation 6294.5.
