location (including Focus Areas) between the proposed
dam site (PRM 187.2) and just downstream from the
Yentna River confluence (PRM 29.9).
– Hourly stage hydrographs of the Susitna River at
surveyed river cross-sections (total = 212).

• Limitations
– Not applicable during ice covered conditions (October 28
through May 22)
– One-dimensional
– Devils Canyon bathymetry estimated
– No water surface elevations at locations in between
surveyed cross-sections.
• The 2D hydraulic model in the Focus Areas will rely on input from
the HEC-RAS Open-water Flow Routing Model to determine
water surface elevations in Focus Areas.
• Output from the HEC-RAS Open-water Flow Routing Model,
combined with LiDAR data, may be used to estimate areas of
inundation in riparian floodplain zones.
