1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
This quality control inspection program (QCIP) is regarding Pacific Gas & Electric Company’s
(PG&E) project (the project) to repair exposed and/or undermined foundations, for the Bucks
Creek Penstock, with various methods of erosion mitigation, provide additional drainage
improvements, and install three new helicopter landing pads along the Bucks Creek Penstocks
which is part of PG&E’s Bucks Creek Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) No. 619. The purpose of this QCIP is to ensure the quality of construction
of this project. The responsible engineer (RE) is accountable for development of the QCIP for
this project.
This QCIP has been prepared in compliance with the following Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) requirements and guidelines:
• Title 18, Chapter I, Sub-Chapter B, Part 12, Subpart E, Section 12.50 of the Code of
Federal Regulations
• FERC’s Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of Hydropower Projects, Chapter VII,
“Construction Quality Control Inspection Program”
1.2 Background
In January 1937, there was a valve failure causing substantial leakage from the Bucks Creek
Penstocks. Water flow caused large amounts of erosion, with depths varying significantly and
extending up to 30 feet deep below the pipe in some locations. A total of 27 piers were affected
with 6 of these being completely undermined. Since then, some temporary and permanent repair
measures have been implemented and the failed valves were removed. Temporary repairs
included installing wood bents to support the pipe below the piers and adding grout or shims
between the pipe and piers that experienced minor settlement. Permanent repairs included
adding new steel piers specifically where ethe erosion was the most severe and removing the
failed concrete piers. In addition, there are annual maintenance items including debris removal
that occur.
Still, in multiple locations the downstream edges of the pier foundations have been exposed or
partially undermined by the 1937 leakage incident, long term erosion due to weather events over
the years, and localized rodent burrows. PG&E is proposing to repair these exposed and/or
undermined foundations.
To help mitigate future erosion within the penstock area, it is proposed to add additional drainage
improvements that will direct the flow of water away from the penstocks more frequently.
In addition to the continuous erosion concerns, the three helicopter landing areas have been
deemed out of compliance with current FAA standards and are also under-designed for larger
helicopter loads. PG&E is proposing to replace the existing landing pads in place.

1.3 Description of Structures and Types of Construction
Project comprises construction of improvements along the alignment of the Bucks Creek
Penstocks. The general scope of construction includes:
1) Excavation of soil debris and replacing debris catchment wall or placing cut-slope
erosion control between AB10 and AB11.
2) Addressing erosional undermining of several penstock pier foundations.
3) Improving existing and installing new surface drainage improvements.
4) Removal and replacement of three existing helicopter landing pads.
Catchment Wall
The existing debris catchment wall between AB10 and AB11 is constructed of plywood boards
and steel rods. The wall is in dilapidated condition and will be removed as part of this project.
Soil debris that have collected at the base of the catchment wall will be removed and three
options are provided to either replace the catchment wall or place cut-slope erosion control.
After debris removal the site conditions will be observed by the field engineer and geologist to
determine the state of the slope and the best option for replacement. Options are detailed out on
sheet 5 of the construction drawings and include two catchment wall options and an option to
solely provide erosion control along the slope.
Undermined Piers
Repair at the exposed or undermined pier foundation locations will be designed to mitigate
further loss of subgrade material by implementing either a cementitious backfill or a rock slope
protection apron depending on the severity at each location.
Where the slope downstream of the piers is steep or where the pier foundation is undermined, the
undermined portions of the subgrade will be backfilled with cementitious material to mitigate
further erosion. The cementitious fill may comprise ready-mix concrete or shotcrete or
prepackaged concrete repair materials. The areas to be backfilled will be cleared of loose debris,
and rebar dowels will be drilled and installed into the concrete piers and/or bedrock outcrops, as
necessary. The cementitious fill will be reinforced to prevent temperature/shrinkage cracking.
Drainage panels will be placed against the exposed subgrade with weep holes to prevent the
buildup of hydrostatic pressure, if deemed necessary.
Where the piers are experiencing relatively minor subgrade erosion (i.e., no actual undermining
of the pier foundation), small aprons of rock slope protection (RSP) will be utilized to armor the
slope and mitigate further erosion. It is anticipated that 1- to 2-foot-tall fiber reinforced panel
(FRP) retaining structures will be constructed downslope of each subject pier to provide a free-
draining retaining structure for the RSP materials. The RSP materials will likely be sourced from
the penstock trenches and will consist of a combination of gravel- to boulder-size materials.
The retaining structures will be designed to be self-supporting and retain the backfill or RSP
materials based on the “worst-case” cross section at each pier.

Drainage Improvements
The surface flow along the penstock “trench” is currently locally conveyed out of the trench via
widely spaced culverts, ditches, and channels. PG&E proposes to add more drainage
improvements along the penstocks to help protect the alignment from potential future erosion
that can result in undermining of the penstock foundation elements. This will be accomplished
by adding new diversion ditches at various locations.
It is anticipated that creation of the drainage improvements will be accomplished by localized
hand or small equipment grading and then installation of anchored concrete cloth geosynthetic
cementitious composite mats to conform to the topography and to mitigate erosion on the
upslope and downslope sides of the new drainage ditches.
Helicopter Landing Pads
The new landing pads (LPs) will be 20 ft by 20 ft with personnel access ladders or stairs (2
egress routes) and fall protection netting along the edge of the pads (5-feet minimum width). The
new LPs will be anchored to the existing concrete anchors blocks.
PG&E’s general construction (GC) crew will be constructing the entirety of this project. FEC
Heliports will be contracted directly with PG&E and is the vendor providing the prefabricated
helicopter landing pads. They will be available for consultation with PG&E GC crews during
construction. Redding Air Service will provide helicopter transport of personnel, construction
materials and equipment and will also be directly contracted with PG&E.
1.4 Specialized Construction Techniques and Equipment
Due to the remote location of this project, much of the materials and equipment will be shop
fabricated flown to the site via helicopter. A majority of the site work will be completed with
simple hand tools. There is road access to the top if the site via Bucks Penstock Road so there is
an option to bring in small excavation equipment as deemed necessary.

(PD) dated March 23, 2023. The field inspector and environmental lead are responsible for
confirming compliance with the environmental requirements during construction.
7.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
The constructor will follow the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan developed specifically for the
project.
The constructor will employ the following erosion and sediment control best management
practices on this project:
• Constructor shall plan and execute construction and earthwork by methods to control
surface drainage from cuts and fills, and from borrow and waste disposal areas, to prevent
erosion and sedimentation.
• Constructor shall control its operations so that sediment or siltation, caused by its
operations, shall not be introduced into any water course, drainage channel, or lake.
Constructor shall provide sump pumps, temporary water treatment plants, settling basin,
and other facilities with adequate capacity for treatment and removal of silt or other
suspended substance in any seepage or drainage resulting from excavation or other
construction activities to meet the required water quality and turbidity standards before
discharging into the environment outside the project limits.
• Constructor shall periodically inspect earthwork to detect any evidence of the initiation of
erosion and shall apply corrective measures as necessary.
• Constructor shall implement mechanical and vegetative erosion control measures, where
applicable. Remedial measures for controlling potential erosion in areas affected by the
proposed construction activities and unseasonable storms, including thunderstorms, are
described below.
• Constructor shall install mechanical erosion control measures, including mulching, hay
bale checks, erosion control fabric, diversion ditches or berms, silt fencing and drainage
devices, where appropriate, in areas disturbed or impacted by construction activities.
Bucks Creek Penstocks Alignment Improvements, FERC No. 619
Quality Control Inspection Program
18
• Constructor shall protect open excavations and stockpiled earth materials with
polyethylene sheets or other waterproof coverings and construct berms or drainage
trenches around such stockpiles to prevent erosion.
• Trapping sediment may be accomplished with silt fencing, hay bales, sedimentation
basins, and wattles. Trapping may be used to prevent sedimentation into any water course
or drainage channel, roadway, sensitive area, or adjacent property.
• Berms, diversion ditches, sandbags, and piping can be used to divert water to safe areas.
Areas not susceptible to erosion include bedrock channels or outcrops, heavily vegetated
areas receiving low-impact water or energy-dissipating rocked areas. Such areas should
be well drained. Diverting may be used along access roads, canal access pads and above
slopes susceptible to erosion.
• Disturbed soil that is susceptible to erosion shall be mulched with cereal straw. Straw
may be rice, barley or oats and shall be as specified by the U.S. Forest Service when on
national forest properties. Wood fiber mulch applied by hydro mulch seeding may also be
used. In exceptional cases, sheet plastic, jute matting, or other erosion control blankets
may be used as an emergency cover if necessary.
• Drainage will be provided to prevent saturating soil in construction fill areas and other
vulnerable conditions.
7.3 License Requirements
Not applicable
7.4 Specialized Plans, Permits, and Approvals
The following approvals and authorizations are required prior to the start of construction:
• FERC authorization is required for project construction.
7.5 Frequency of Inspections
The frequency of environmental inspections by the field inspectors and the environmental lead
are specified in Appendix D, “Inspection and Hold Point Checklist.” The project-specific
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan and SWPPP requirements are listed in Section 7.2.
7.6 Documentation and Corrective Actions
The field inspector will document inspection observations and assessments of environmental
conditions as described in Sections 3, 4, and 7.7 of this QCIP. Corrective actions necessary to
remedy environmental nonconformance will be implemented as described in Section 7.7 below.
Bucks Creek Penstocks Alignment Improvements, FERC No. 619
Quality Control Inspection Program
19
7.7 Environmental Deficiency Report
If an environmental nonconformance condition is identified, the field inspector or environmental
lead will complete an EDR. Documentation and corrective actions will be accomplished in
accordance with Sections 3 and 4 of this QCIP.
If a nonconformance with the environmental requirement is identified, the following process will
be followed:
• Initiation: If an environmental nonconformance is identified by the field inspector they
will immediately notify the PM. The PM will then immediately coordinate with the
environmental and/or license compliance lead to determine the course of action for
mitigations and timely external reporting requirements.
• Coordination and Distribution: The field inspector or the environmental lead will
complete the EDR within 1 calendar day noting the location, date, and description of the
nonconformance. The field inspector or the environmental lead will submit a copy of the
EDR to the constructor, RE, EOR, license compliance lead, PM, and environmental lead
and/or field inspector.
If a major deficiency results in impacts to the environment, the field inspector or the
environmental lead will stop the construction activity, and, if immediate action is
required to mitigate ongoing impacts, contact the PM and constructor to initiate such
effort. Consistent with PG&E’s Power Generation Department’s incident reporting
procedures, the license compliance or environmental lead will immediately report the
environmental deficiency to the appropriate regulatory, resource, and permit agency
representative(s).
• Follow-up and Resolution: The constructor will prepare a plan of measures for review
and acceptance by the field inspector and environmental lead. Corrective measures will
be implemented upon approval by the field inspector environmental lead, and, if
necessary, the regulatory agency representative(s). The environmental lead and the field
inspector will inspect the corrected construction for compliance with environmental
requirements.
• Tracking: If the completed corrective measure is acceptable, the field inspector and the
environmental lead will sign and date the EDR with the date the correction was accepted.
Construction will resume (if it was necessary to halt work) after the EDR is completed
and signed. The license compliance or environmental lead will advise the regulatory
agency representative(s) of the corrective action and provide necessary documentation.

where erosion had caused the road to be narrowed and inboard ditch had filled with debris and was not
functional. Activities included demolition and excavation, installation of new cast-in-place headwall
drainage inlets and 24” CMP, construction of four cantilever concrete retaining walls, reconstruction of
compacted road section.
· Caribou Road at French Creek 2017
Pacific Gas and Electric, Responsible Engineer
Served as the Responsible Engineer to repair a culvert crossing at French Creek located approximately 700
feet from the Caribou Powerhouses. The French Creek culvert crossing had been damaged from
overtopping during storm events or debris flows from recent area wildfires, which could result in washouts
and roadway sloughing into the adjacent reservoir due to heavy surface flow. Road failures in this location
could potentially prohibit vehicle access to the powerhouses.
Activities included hydrologic analysis drainage and culvert design, demolition two primary 60-inch-
diameter CMP culverts and two secondary 18-inch-diamter CMP culverts, demolition of existing timber
wall, constructing four 48-inch diameter CMP culverts along a wider length of road, regrading existing
basin to direct flows through new culverts, stability design of the gravity retaining wall system, construct
new redi-rock wall, and reinforce culvert outlet and toe of gravity wall with rip rap rock slope protection.
· Caribou Road at Mile Post 6 Soldier Pile Wall 2017
Pacific Gas and Electric, Responsible Engineer
Served as the Responsible Engineer to repair a 700-foot-long stretch of paved road serving as primary the
access to the Caribou Powerhouse and Belden Dam. The repair location consists of a sweeping internal
curve which had evidence of settlement along an approximate 300-foot length of the steep outboard
roadway shoulder, which concentrated surface drainage discharge in this location to an existing 18” CMP
culvert crossing under the road. The internal curve is located in a large swale that is potentially a historic
landside feature and which posed a global stability concern in the long term. Additionally, the outboard
slope of the road had deteriorated and undermined the edge of the road between sections of existing timber
cribbing.
Activities included demolishing existing timber and log crib walls, construction of two new soldier pile
walls to widen road section, construction of a new subgrade, aggregate base, and pavement road section,
storm drainage improvements, scaling of loose rocks and install rockfall drapery on cut slope above road.
