Status As Of: August 19, 2009
An Agreement was executed with HDR to further evaluate CS-11 as a potential surface water reservoir to enhance low
flows in the upper Peace River. Tasks involved probable design criteria and conceptual cost estimates on rehabilitation
of CS-11 to a reservoir along with assisting staff with negotiations on the possible purchase of the property from the
current owner. The evaluation will build upon the feasibility assessment performed by Ardaman and Associates as part of
the Surface Water Resource Assessment Inventory and Approach Development task. Ardaman and Associates will
continue to develop the Upper Peace River Watershed Management Plan. Hydrologic and hydraulic data collected as
part of the Upper Peace River Resource Development project is also being used in the development of the Peace River
Integrated Model (P687). The Agreement with Ardaman was executed on September 30, 2004. As part of the Watershed
Management Plan, Ardaman conducted geotechnical testing and surface water modeling to evaluate potential reservoir
sites. The Ardaman evaluations indicate CS-11 could be modified to function as a surface water reservoir. The tasks
associated with Work Orders #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, & #9 have been completed, and associated final deliverables have
been approved. Tasks related to Work Orders #4, #6, & #10 are on-going. A draft of the first of 3 reports related to Work
Order #4 was received on January 26, 2007. Staff reviewed the draft, and provided comments to the consultant on
January 30, 2007. Data collection for Work Order #6 has been completed. The final report related to Work Order #6 was
due on November 30, 2008. However a time extension was granted until December 31, 2009. Work Order #7 was issued
on July 20, 2007 for the preparation of a summary report to consolidate recent geotechnical and engineering evaluation
information regarding the feasibility of using CS-11 as a water storage area for MFL recovery. The water discharged
back into the river will need to be of sufficient quantity to overcome the influence of sinkholes in and adjacent to the
streambed in order to meet MFLs in the upper river. A draft summary report was received in August 2007. Comments
were provided to the consultant. Final version of the WO#7 summary report received May 27, 2009. Work Order #8 was
executed on December 14, 2007 to survey sinkhole areas to determine if low flows can be redirected around the sinkhole
features, and to identify the hydraulic control elevation in the streambed that may be backing water up into these
features. An evaluation of the survey data will be conducted as part of the SWUCA Recovery - Upper Peace Karst Berms
(H064) project. Please refer to the PIMS entry for H064 for further information on that project. Work Order #9 was
