It was formed by Seminoe Dam which was built in 1939 by the Bureau of Reclamation and is the uppermost of six major storage facilities on the North Platte River. Figure 1 shows area-capacity data for Seminoe Reservoir. The reser- voir has a capacity of 1 246 800 000 m3 (1 011 000 acre-ft), at water surface elevation 1938 m (6357 ft). The average annual volume is between 555 000 000 and 617 000 000 m3 (450 000 and 500 000 acre- ft), with a surface of about 4050 ha (10 000 acres). Seminoe is one of the major fisheries of Wyoming (Wesche and Skinner [311 1), and accounts for 1.4 percent of the total annual fishing for the state. Game fishes in Seminoe include, in order of abundance [31]: walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum Mitchell), brown trout (Salmi trutta Linnaeus), rainbow trout (Salm° gairdneri Richardson), and brook trout (Salvelinus fOntinalis Mitchell). 1 Numbers in brackets refer to literature cited in the bibliography.

APPLICATION This report will be used by the Bureau's Lower Missouri Region planners who requested this reconnaissance as a part of their Seminoe Dam modi- fication study. This baseline information will also be critical to the environmental impact assessment of the North Platte hydroelectric study, and any future projects in the North Platte River basin. In addition, these data will be helpful in the development and management of the fishery of Seminoe Reservoir, and will be of interest to anyone involved in limnological studies. This study is also an example of a baseline limnological survey that could be easily adapted to reservoirs throughout the Bureau's area of operation. 5 1 SUMMARY Data collected during this study will be used to assess the environ- mental impacts of proposed modifications of Seminoe Reservoir. The 1 reservoir becomes only weakly stratified at any station and is influ- enced very heavily by the North Platte and Medicine Bow Rivers. Based on observed data of residents in the area, data collected by Wesche 1 and Skinner [31], and some fragmentary records from USGS (U.S. Geo- logical Survey), reservoir turnover occurs twice a year, during April or May and again during October or November. Wind action probably has a great influence on conditions within the reservoir. An anaerobic con- dition probably is approached, but never quite reached within the water 1 column at any one location. This is due to (1) the lack of strong stratification for any period of time, (2) ambient air temperature, (3) strong winds, and (4) influence of the North Platte and Medicine Bow Rivers. These four factors are all interrelated. According to Pennak [21], Seminoe Reservoir is a nonalkaline body of water2. Values of pH are probably always above 7.0 and generally during the summer they are above 8.0. Calcium is the major cation and bicarbonate and sulfate are the major anions. Station 3 (Medicine Bow Arm) contains the highest concentration of major cations and anions, 2 Pennak [21] considers nonalkali lakes in the Rocky Mountain area as those having total residues of less than 500 mg/litre, and alkali lakes as those having residues in excess of this figure. 6 indicating the Medicine Bow River as being the probable major contrib- utor. This conclusion is further substantiated by data presented from a water sample collected from the Medicine Bow River. There is indi- cation of the presence of some heavy metals (copper, manganese, iron, and zinc), especially at lower depths. However, they probably are not biologically important since redox potentials, D.O. (dissolved oxygen), and pH values were too high for metals to be available in a dissolved form.

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.

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.
