Wolf Creek Dam: www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Stories/Article/3267568...

JAMESTOWN, Ky. (Jan. 13, 2023) – When the Cumberland River Basin in southeastern Kentucky experiences storms and waters rise, Wolf Creek Dam on the Cumberland River provides enormous flood risk management benefits.

The staff at Wolf Creek Dam releases and holds water at the direction of water managers at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District Water Management Section, which directs operations at 10 dam projects in the Cumberland River Basin. The actions employees take at Wolf Creek Dam generate hydroelectricity for the region while reducing flood risk and potential flood damage in communities downstream.

Anthony Watters, Wolf Creek Dam Powerplant superintendent, said more than 20 people support hydropower production and maintenance at the dam and work very hard around the clock to operate the project to maintain water levels at Lake Cumberland.

“Before we ever get to the point where we are going to spill water, we want to maximize our hydropower generation,” Watters said. “When we have a high-water condition, we will first put our generators on overload and put as much as we can out into the system to provide power. The moment we start spilling water, it is passed downstream and can’t be utilized to produce hydroelectricity.”

Wolf Creek Dam is located at Cumberland River mile 460.9 in Jamestown, Kentucky, and forms Lake Cumberland, which encompasses portions of Wayne, Russell, Pulaski, Clinton, McCreary, Laurel, and Whitley counties. The reservoir is 101 miles long, has 1,255 miles of shoreline, and has a total storage capability of 6,089,000 acre-feet of water at elevation 760 feet, mean sea level (MSL).

The upper portion of the reservoir pool contains 2,094,000 acre-feet of area, which is used to hold floodwaters that would otherwise cause flooding downstream. One acre foot of water equals 325,850 gallons. This water is utilized to the maximum extent possible for power production and surplus water is released through the spillway gates.

Of the remaining 3,995,000 acre-feet of reservoir capacity, 2,142,000 acre-feet, corresponding to a drawdown of 50 feet, is allocated specifically for power operation, leaving a minimum pool of at least 1,853,000 acre-feet available at all times for public use and conservation purposes.

“So if you have a high-water event downstream, we can hold a great amount of water to reduce downstream flooding until everything else kind of washes out,” Watters said. “Then we can release water as safely as possible downstream and recapture storage capacity in Lake Cumberland.”

The Flood Control Act of 1938 and the Rivers and Harbor Act of 1946 authorized the Corps of Engineers to build Wolf Creek Dam. Construction of the project began in August 1941. After a three-year delay during World War II, the Corps completed the project for full beneficial use in August 1952.

The Nashville District completed Wolf Creek Dam for flood control operation in 1950. Three of the six hydroelectric generating units were placed in operation in 1951 and the remaining three in 1952. It cost $80.4 million to construct the dam. Operation of the lake is for the primary purposes of flood control and the production of hydroelectric power.

The electrical energy produced by the project is sufficient to supply the needs of an average city with a population of 375,000. Incidental to the production of power, the water released through the turbines provides a favorable streamflow below the dam. In supplementing low flows, this water improves domestic water supply, reduces stream pollution and provides aid to navigation.

James Riley, Powerplant senior operator, said the team at Wolf Creek Dam works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, maintaining and operating the facility. The hydropower staff adheres to applicable regulations, standing orders for power generation during times of peak usage, and communicates with water managers in the Nashville District when determining when to generate power and support the release of water downstream, he added.

“The water isn’t even close to touching our gates right now, so the main thing we do to support flood risk management, and to draw down the lake, is generate power,” Riley explained.

There are five lines that distribute hydroelectricity from Wolf Creek Dam via the Tennessee Valley Authority and power preference customers into the power grid in Kentucky and Tennessee.

“The entire system in our region is benefitting off of the power that we produce,” Riley said.

The dam is 258-feet high and 1,796-feet long with 10 spillway gates that are 50-feet wide and 37-feet high. Its earthen embankment is 3,940-feet long. A total of 1,380,000 cubic yards of concrete and 10,016,500 of earth were placed during construction of the dam and embankment. The dam, powerhouse, and lake continue to be operated and supervised by Corps of Engineers’ personnel.

Deborah Greene, hydropower mechanic, said it’s her job to inspect, maintain, and perform general upkeep of the power generation systems, spillway gates, and associated equipment. She also operates the 10 spillway gates during high-water events to discharge water from Lake Cumberland downstream.

She said it’s an amazing view to see the water pour over the spillways when she is called upon to operate the gates.

“When I watch it it’s like the big waterfalls out west,” Greene said. “I’m in awe of the power that water can create.”

Greene is a Pike County, Kentucky, native, and said she experienced the ravages of flooding when growing up near the border with Virginia and West Virginia. She is happy that her career path drew her to the Corps of Engineers where she could be a part of a team that works with communities that are affected by flooding, and to mitigate the risk of flooding that hurts people and destroys homes and businesses.

Earlier in her career she worked in industry. She then opted to get technical training from Somerset Technical College, receiving a degree in maintenance mechanics. She applied and then entered the Nashville District’s Hydropower Training Program in 1999, and then reported to Wolf Creek Dam in 2001.

“I’ve seen the devastation that floods can cause. I know there have been a lot of homes, lives, and properties saved due to this project being here,” Greene said. “And I’m very thankful that I work here and to help reduce the risk of flooding. This is the best job I’ve ever had in my life. I’m pretty satisfied.”

The reservoir normally fluctuates between 50,250 acres, elevation 723 MSL, at the top of the power pool and a minimum surface area of 35,820 acres, elevation 673 MSL. During periods of high inflow, when it is necessary to utilize the flood storage, the surface area may reach 63,530 acres, elevation 760 MSL. However, such floods occur infrequently, and the levels resulting from minor floods and power operations do not seriously interfere with most recreational activities.

Robert Dillingham, hydraulic engineer in the Nashville District Water Management Section, said the Cumberland River is highly regulated, and it all starts with Wolf Creek Dam because half of the flows through Nashville come from Wolf Creek Dam.

“It is not uncommon for the elevation in Lake Cumberland to vary by as much as 50 feet in a single year, and we have seen it vary by as much as 70 feet in a year,” Dillingham said. “Having this flexibility and large pool allows for a much more predictable river in the reach below the dam.”

Dillingham also noted that having such a large storage reservoir upstream provides valuable insurance water and greatly reduces the likelihood of drought impacts along the Cumberland River.

Watters said he appreciates the entire team at Wolf Creek Dam for their efforts every day to support the various aspects of flood risk reduction.

2021 Capitol Christmas Tree Decorating by Architect of the Capitol (AOC)

2

The 2021 #USCapitol Christmas Tree was chosen from the Six Rivers National Forest and is sponsored by the California Congressional Delegation.

The Architect of the Capitol (AOC) selects the annual #CapitolChristmasTree in consultation with the United States Forest Service. This year's selection, a 84-foot white fir, was harvested on October 23 and arrived at the U.S. Capitol on November 19 after traveling cross-country by truck. Upon arrival at the U.S. Capitol, the AOC Capitol Grounds and Arboretum team secures the tree and decorates it with thousands of handcrafted ornaments from the people of California.

The U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree is a time-honored tradition of more than 50 years. Once decorated, the tree will be lit from nightfall until 11:00 p.m. each evening through January 1, 2022.

BLM women in wildfire 2019 by Bureau of Land Management Oregon and Washington

1

For the class final, the all-female crew of wildfire students dug fire line, rolled hose and burned slash piles in the eastern Oregon snow.

The live burn exercise was the climax of the second annual Women in Wildland Fire Boot Camp, a BLM recruitment and retention tool that organizers hope will add diversity to the applicant pool for wildfire

jobs.

The boot camp is really a paid training opportunity, part classroom and part field work, for women to become certified for federal fire jobs, an industry long dominated by men.

“I think we’re acknowledging we need to add diversity to our workforce,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, the top BLM fire official for Oregon and Washington, “And we’re putting our money where our mouth is.”

Twenty women attended last year and more than half of that first class ended up getting a job in firefighting, said Cassandra Andrews-Fleckenstein, the BLM program manager for the camp.

This year, 25 women attended the two-weekend camp, once again coming from across the country.

Students slept outside in 10-degree weather, used portable toilets, and wore the classic wildland firefighter uniform of yellow shirt and green pants, just like any other fire camp.

Kathleen Mascarenas, who is studying forestry and fire science at Colorado State University, said she came to the Women in Wildland Fire Boot Camp to get her foot in the door for a future job.

“I really just wanted to get a hands-on experience,” said Mascarenas, as a

controlled burn crackled behind her last month.

“I thought it would be a great experience to get started and meet some of the women that I would be hopefully working with in the future,” she said.

One of the attendees from Oregon, Kelli Creekmore, said she recently got her emergency medical technician license and is hoping to get a job providing first aid to wildland firefighters.

In addition to the typical fire coursework, students also received special

presentations, for example, what it is like to be pregnant during a wildfire

pack test, and how to successfully apply via USAJobs.gov.

Since many of the camp attendees are coming in with advanced education and other valuable prerequisites, it is imperative that they become fluent in the federal hiring process, said camp manager Andrews-Fleckenstein.

“They are frustrated because they don’t really know how to get into these fire jobs,” said Andrews-Fleckenstein, listing the main gripe she heard from

students at the camp. “I’m finding that this camp is kind of a bridge for them.”

Bob Narus, the fire manager for the BLM’s Vale District, an area that spans

more than 5 million acres in eastern Oregon, said simply making more applicants aware that the BLM is an option for firefighting jobs is important.

“I think there's value in having these women in wildfire camps, so more people can become aware that, ‘Hey, I can go fight fire with the BLM also, not just the Forest Service,’” said Narus.

While camp attendees are compensated for their time, they are not reimbursed for their travel to and from rural eastern Oregon. Last year, one student flew round-trip from Chicago between university midterms to attend the boot camp, said Andrews-Fleckenstein, noting the clear and unique value of the all-female BLM fire camp.

“I think if we had more of them across the country, or offered a couple more, you might get a lot of people coming into it,” she said.

Artillery Group of the Grant Memorial by Architect of the Capitol (AOC)

The bronze and marble Ulysses S. Grant Memorial by Henry Merwin Shrady is located by the reflecting pool at the east end of the National Mall, west of the United States Capitol. At the ends of the monument, groups of soldiers and horses appear in tumultuous action, with cavalry at the north and artillery at the south. In the Artillery Group, soldiers struggle to steer a cannon into position, but the team of three horses lunges and twists as the lead horse, reacting to a broken bridle, rears uncontrollably.

Ulysses S. Grant Memorial by Architect of the Capitol (AOC)

1

The bronze and marble Ulysses S. Grant Memorial by Henry Merwin Shrady is located by the reflecting pool at the east end of the National Mall, west of the United States Capitol. Its central figure depicts the Civil War general (and future president) seated and still on horseback, as was his custom while observing a battle; bronze reliefs on the marble pedestal show infantry soldiers on the march. Four bronze lions around the pedestal impart a sense of strength and dignity. At the ends of the monument, groups of soldiers and horses appear in tumultuous action, with cavalry at the north and artillery at the south. Measuring 44 feet high and occupying a marble platform over 250 feet long and 70 feet deep, the monument is the largest statuary group in Washington, D.C.; the sculpture of Grant is among the largest equestrian statues in the world.

The Albany Congress, 1754 by Architect of the Capitol (AOC)

1973-1974

Great Experiment Hall

Cox Corridors

In 1754 the British government asked colonial representatives to meet in Albany, New York, to develop a treaty with Native Americans and plan the defense of the colonies against France. Exceeding these limited objectives, the assembly adopted a plan developed by Benjamin Franklin for government of the colonies by a central executive and a council of delegates. Although rejected by England and the colonies, the Albany Plan became a useful guide in the years leading up to the Revolutionary War. The mural depicts some of the delegates (from left to right): William Franklin and his father, Benjamin (Pennsylvania); Governor Thomas Hutchinson (Massachusetts); Governor William Delancey (New York); Sir William Johnson (Massachusetts); Colonel Benjamin Tasker (Maryland).

Left: The blacksmith symbolizes the importance of iron-working in the mid-18th century.

Right: The farmer with his scythe represents the growth of agriculture in the colonies.

Cox Corridors

Following the Revolutionary War, the new American government was first organized under the Articles of Confederation, but that document gave the federal government too little authority to be effective. Convened to amend the Articles of Confederation, this convention wrote a new Constitution that strengthened the national government but imposed the separation of powers and a system of checks and balances to guard against tyranny. This mural shows delegates meeting in Benjamin Franklin's garden (from left to right): Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin.

Left: The plowman and his book symbolize education for all, a concern of the time.

Right: A colonist bars the door of his home, symbolizing the desire for freedom from unreasonable search that was eventually addressed by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
