  • Cowlitz/Riffe Lake Level Fact Sheet June 6, 2017
    Cowlitz/Riffe Lake Level Fact Sheet June 6, 2017 Based on new information about regional seismicity, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) revised its earthquake predictions for the Cowlitz River basin. Although the probability of a large earthquake is very low, the revisions showed an increase to the potential impact on the spillway piers of Mossyrock Dam (not to the dam structure itself). To protect public safety, Tacoma Power has proposed to hold Riffe Lake’s elevation down approximately 30 feet lower than full (778 ft.) at least into the next decade. Formal approval by the federal agency that regulates the utility is pending. Public safety Public safety is our top priority. Although there is a very low probability of the type of seismic activity that would cause the spillways to fail, we have a responsibility to operate in a way that limits the risk to the public. Keeping the lake level lower Mossyrock Dam’s five spillway piers accomplishes that. There are no modifications to the operations at at full lake level Mayfield Dam. If we get significant rain or flooding, Tacoma Power may need to use the storage capacity of Riffe Lake to minimize downstream flooding by temporarily allowing the lake level to rise. After the risk of downstream flooding passes, we would then gradually lower the reservoir. Seismic information Mossyrock Dam is a tall, double curvature arch with spillways located high in the middle of the dam. No concrete arch dams have failed due to earthquakes. However, preliminary analysis concluded that specific seismic events could cause the spillway piers to fail, which could cause the spillway gates to fail, resulting in an uncontrolled release of water and considerable downstream flooding.

  • 2010 Integrated Resource Plan
    2010 Integrated Resource Plan August 2010 Prepared by Power Management Direct Comments/Questions to (253) 502-8025 Tacoma Power 2010 Integrated Resource Plan Executive Summary Tacoma Power’s 2010 Integrated Resource Plan recommends conservation as the sole addition to the utility’s resource portfolio. Analysis indicates that an aggressive conservation acquisition program coupled with Tacoma Power’s existing resources will be sufficient to meet projected retail load. This strategy should allow the utility to avoid a need to purchase expensive generating resources for over ten years. Specifically, this IRP found that: • Approximately 63 aMW of new conservation is cost-effective in Tacoma Power’s service territory over the next ten years. • This conservation, when combined with current utility resources should be sufficient to serve projected retail load beyond 2020. • Tacoma Power is well positioned to comply with the 3 percent renewable resource mandate that begins in 2012. Tacoma Power’s eligible renewable resource portfolio is comprised of nearly equal parts of utility owned incremental hydro and a contract for renewable energy credits. The 2010 IRP also considered the potential effect of electric vehicles and climate change on utility operations: • Electric vehicles are unlikely to impose a significant load on Tacoma Power until 2018 to 2025. • The effects of climate change are likely to be small for Tacoma Power’s loads and resources through the mid-2020s. This assessment is preliminary – the findings are likely to evolve as our understanding of the regional implications of climate change improves. Page: iii TACOMA POWER 2010 INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The primary purpose of preparing an meet any identified load-resource gap at integrated resource plan (IRP) is to the lowest cost and risk.

  • The Wild Cascades
    THE WILD CASCADES Fall, 1984 2 The Wild Cascades PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ONCE THE LINES ARE DRAWN, THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER The North Cascades Conservation Council has developed a reputation for consistent, hard-hitting, responsible action to protect wildland resources in the Washington Cascades. It is perhaps best known for leading the fight to preserve and protect the North Cascades in the North Cascades National Park, the Pasayten and Glacier Peak Wilderness Areas, and the Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas. Despite the recent passage of the Washington Wilderness Act, many areas which deserve and require wilderness designation remain unprotected. One of the goals of the N3C must be to assure protection for these areas. In this issue of the Wild Cascades we have analyzed the Washington Wilderness Act to see what we won and what still hangs in the balance (page ). The N3C will continue to fight to establish new wilderness areas, but there is also a new challenge. Our expertise is increasingly being sought by government agencies to assist in developing appropriate management plans and to support them against attempts to undermine such plans. The invitation to participate more fully in management activities will require considerable effort, but it represents a challenge and an opportunity that cannot be ignored. If we are to meet this challenge we will need members who are either knowledgable or willing to learn about an issue and to guide the Board in its actions. The Spring issue of the Wild Cascades carried a center section with two requests: 1) volunteers to assist and guide the organization on various issues; and 2) payment of dues.
