• • <br /> Lewis River site-specific PMP study-completed 2011 <br /> Mr. Mike Pelletier, Project Manager,NextEra Energy <br /> 207-629-1823 <br /> michael.elletier @nexteraenergy.com <br /> Brassua Dam site-specific PMP study-completed 2011 <br /> Dr Barry Keim, LSU Professor and Louisianan State Climatologist <br /> 225-578-6170 <br /> keim @lsu.edu <br /> Reviewer of numerous AWA PMP studies <br /> Management Summary/Plan <br /> AWA will complete this review using AWA personnel. The following personnel will be <br /> assigned to this project: <br /> Dr Ed Tomlinson will be the Project Manager and Chief Meteorologist. He has over 40 years' <br /> experience in meteorology with over 20 years' experience explicitly in PMP analyses beginning <br /> with the FERC approved regional PMP study for Michigan and Wisconsin completed in 1993. <br /> Mr. Bill Kappel, a Senior Meteorologist with AWA,will provide additional meteorological <br /> analysis including evaluation of in-place storm maximization and storm transposition <br /> procedures. He has been with AWA for nine years and is currently Project Manager for several <br /> PMP studies including College Lake on the CSU campus in Fort Collins, several nuclear power <br /> generation sites and the Tennessee Valley Authority drainage basins. <br /> Mr. Doug Hultstrand, a Hydrometeorologist with AWA, is planning to complete his PhD degree <br /> requirements from CSU by the end of the year. He has performed numerous storm analyses <br /> using the Storm Precipitation Analysis System(SPAS) and will provide the review of the EPAT <br /> Storm Library. This review will evaluate the rainfall data used in the storm analyses, quality of <br /> the rainfall observational data, and reliability of the storm rainfall analyses. <br /> Mr. Geoff Muhlestein,who recently completed his Master's degree in GIS applications,will <br /> provide expert GIS evaluation. He developed the PMP Evaluation Tool for producing PMP for <br /> the state of Arizona along with providing GIS applications for numerous site-specific and <br /> statewide PMP studies throughout North America. <br /> This team has superior qualifications in academic training and unsurpassed experience with the <br /> background,understanding, and implementation of PMP and therefore is uniquely qualified for <br /> completing the independent review of EPAT from both the meteorological science and GIS <br /> application perspectives. <br /> The management plan is to provide a detailed review of the meteorological procedures used in <br /> EPAT with Dr Tomlinson leading the meteorological procedures evaluation. The EPAT Storm <br /> Library review will evaluate each individual storm rainfall analysis procedure and results to <br /> identify the reliability of the storm rainfall analyses,precision of the analyses, and accuracy of <br /> the results. A review of how the individual storm rainfall analysis results are used in EPAT and <br /> explicitly how the software ingest the storm rainfall information will be evaluated. Rainfall <br /> adjustment procedures will be identified and evaluated including in-place maximization and <br />
