• <br />• <br />Proiect e. rtence <br />Boyle is the designer of projects such as the 120- foot -high <br />139- foot -high, 1,300 -foot crest Grindstone Canyon RCC c <br />original 140 -foot high Olivenhain Dam in California on <br />which we are now reviewers of the 308 - foot -high dam <br />being built on the same site. Our current dam projects <br />also include rehabilitation of smaller projects and <br />complex reservoir operation studies to cooperatively <br />manage multiple reservoirs on major stream systems. <br />Boyle's Denver Water Resource Group has provided dam <br />related services in Colorado for more than 15 years. <br />Our services have included final design, construction <br />related services and acquisition of SEO permits for new <br />dams and for modifications to existing dams. We are <br />currently providing dam rehabilitation services on nine <br />projects in Colorado subject to SEO jurisdiction. Through <br />these projects, we have developed excellent rapport with <br />the State's personnel. <br />Wolford Mountain Dam, the <br />am in New Mexico, and the <br />Analysis of new outlets in an existing arch <br />Boyle's experience with the Federal Energy Regulatory <br />Commission (FERC) includes both permitting of projects and design of projects in <br />compliance with FERC design and performance guidelines. Mr. Dwyer, our proposed <br />CRRP Project Manager, was responsible for the studies (including design documents and <br />aquatic (IFIM), terrestrial wildlife (HEP), Class I and III cutural, recreational, aesthetics and <br />other resource studies for FERC licensing efforts on the Cache la Poudre project and its <br />1800 MW pumped storage and 16 MW powerplants. <br />Our team is extremely familiar with FERC's guidelines for structural and electromechanical <br />equipment. They are very familiar with the inspection procedures and requirements <br />outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations 18CFR Part 12 — Safety of Water Power <br />Projects and Projects Works, Subpart D - Inspection by Independent Consultant. They <br />have extensive experience, are licensed in the state of Colorado and have participated in <br />project inspections in accordance with FERC Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of <br />Hydropower Projects. <br />Boyle and its team members have also been responsible for interacting with and obtaining <br />permits and approvals from a wide variety of governmental agencies including the Corps <br />of Engineers, the Fish and Wildlife Service, the EPA, CDPHE, and many others. <br />Water diversion and storage projects can require a very broad range of engineering <br />studies including: <br />Slope stability (embankment slopes, construction cuts and reservoir rims) under <br />static and dynamic loading with and without steady state conditions and excess <br />pore pressures (e.g. rapid drawdown). Boyle uses STABLS, WINSTAB, and <br />SLOPE/W, and other programs to perform these stability analyses. <br />Seepage analyses for embankment and concrete dams to evaluate dam stability <br />(e.g. uplift pressures) and current and potential water loss and control measures. <br />Boyle uses SEEP/W and other programs to perform embankment seepage <br />analyses. <br />33 <br />
