Technology Assessment of Hydroelectric Power Development
This report is an assessment of the potential impacts and public policy issues that may arise from future development of hydroelectric power resources. Three alternate levels of potential hydroelectric power development are examined. Level I assumes in increase of 25,000 MW Capacity by the year 2000. Level II, an increase of 45,000 MW and level III, an increase of 75,000MW. The major issues and consequences of each level are defined and discussed, and implementation strategies for each level of development are outlined. Achievement of Level I development appears feasible based on the availability of potential hydroelectric power sites and the current legal and institutional framework. Level II is achievable, but would require some changes in current laws and regulations and financial assistance to developers. Level III is unlikely to be realized by the year 2000.

Tenn Tom Constructors, Inc.; Alternative Dispute Resolution Series Case Study #1
On June 28, 1985, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Ohio River Division, and Tenn Tom Constructors, Inc., a joint venture headed by Morrison Knudsen, Inc. used a mini-trial to settle a $55.6 million (including interest) claim for $17.25 million. The claim was originally filed in 1979 charging differing site conditions, i.e. increased moisture in the soil, during a project that required the removal and disposal of ninety-five million cubic yards of earth. This case highlights 1) important role played by decision-makers on both sides; 2) the role of attorneys as presenters/ advisors; 3) the impact of organizational pressures on decision-makers regarding settlement decisions; and 4) the impact of district/division relationships on decisions reached in mini-trials.

Test of Flood Plain Management Planning Methodology at Pullman, Washington
The purpose of this study is to test in Pullman, Washington, the practical application of concepts and methods set forth in earlier studies in flood plain management done for the Institute for Water Resources. These studies are: A Methodology for Flood Plain Development and Management, by TRW Systems Group, and Community Goals - Management Opportunities: An Approach to Flood Plain Management, by.the Center for Urban Studies, University of Chicago. These studies have two common themes. First, that flood plain planning should incorporate other goals in addition to flood damage reduction; second, that a variety of measures should be considered to achieve the goals.

Testing an Iterative, Open Process for Water Resources Planning
The report describes the field test and evaluation of an iterative, open planning process,(IOPP) in which traditional planning activities.(e.g., formulation of alternatives, impact assesstment) are carried out concurrently, although with different degrees of emphasis over time. The process is opened to all affected interests by actively identifying and involving them at many stages of planning. The IOPP was used to formulate and evaluate alternative solutions to flooding problems in the San Pedro Creek, California river basin. In conjunction with Corps of Engineers, San Francisco District planners, the researchers designed a study procedure and participated in plan formulation and evaluation activities. The report describes the various problems encountered during the implementation of the IOPP technique and discusses means to avoid these problems and make the technique more efficient and effective. At the time the research was initiated the IOPP was still experimental. However, a process similar to IOPP has recently been adopted by the Corps of Engineers, thus lending new significance to the study results and conclusions.

Toward a Technique for Quantifying Aesthetic Quality of Water Resources
This report contains the proceedings of a colloquium which was held in Park City, Utah on 16-18 October 1972 to explore various means of incorporating aesthetic considerations into the watrer resources planning process. The conference brought together a multi-disciplinary group of experts in the field of natural aesthetics in order to design a strategy to examine and develop the aesthetic opportunity sector of the straw man model. The straw man is heavily oriented toward computerized analysis, hence quantifying the aesthetic effects of water resource development alternatives was a primary topic of discussion during the conference. This report focuses on aesthetics and water resources development. How we got into this topic and where we are going is largely dependent upon development of a new water resources planning system. The function of this report is not to debate the rationality or reasonablness of the aesthetic opporrtunity goal model but rather to focus on how one might deal with quantification of aesthetic quality changes. Organizationally the report narrows from a general discussion of criteria for evaluating aesthetic quality quantification schemes to specific concern with quantifying landscape aesthetics, and then broadens again to sum up the general topic.

Trade-Off Analysis Planning and Procedures Guidebook
Making decisions requires some form of deliberation and evaluation by the decision maker. When there is a single decision maker, the process may not have to be rigid or replicable or even justified to anyone other than the decision maker. In water resources planning and investments, there are multiple decision makers, stakeholders and other interested parties making inputs to the decision making process. Planning for projects involving multiple and competing outputs and stakeholders requires a collaborative effort. This process also requires a more definitive evaluation process, one that can be replicated and used to justify or, at a minimum, explain why specific decisions were made and who was involved in the decision making process. The proliferation of work falling into the category of National Ecosystem Restoration, (NER, i.e., providing non-monetary outputs such as Habitat Units or Acres of Wetlands) and subsequently, the need to formulate for multiple-purpose National Economic Development (NED, i.e., providing monetary outputs such as Flood Damage Reduction and Navigation) combined with National Ecosystem Restoration projects fostered an increased need for tools and guidance to conduct trade-off analysis and collaborative decision making. This document is a ?Trade-Off Analysis Planning and Procedures Guidebook? for Corps of Engineers planning studies.

Trends and Patterns in Cultural Resource Significance: An Historical Perspective and Annotated Bibliography
This publication offers a broad, analytical review of the literature concerned with the challenging subject of evaluating cultural resource significance. This review of significance includes two main sections: (a) and Annotated Bibliography (consisting mostly of peer-reviewed lityerature) and (b) an Analysis Section (devoted to tracing historical trends in archaeological method and theory). The literature summarized here is extensive and is not accessible widely to the archaeological and cultural resource management (CRM) communities. After analyzing a wide range of publications, 21 major themes or concepts were established to characterize the breadth of archaeological views and ideas about significance. A review of each theme was undertaken, including both a discussion and a graphical presentation of trends through time. Systematic indexing and cross-referencing of publications, authgors, and significance themes have also been carried out to assist users in locating references of special interest. The concluding section offers some suggestions and insights into the future direction of significant evaluation with respect to the work unit and within CRM generally. Particular emphasis is placed on the opportunities to develop more holistic management strategies, to make greater use of new approaches and technologies, and to use more explicit evaluation methods.

Two-Dimensional Floodplain Modeling
A two dimensional horizontal finite element numerical model was applied to a fifteen mile river channel floodplain each in West Germany. Previous applications of such models have been restricted to much smaller scales. The results indicate that finite element schemes may successfully estimate river stage in large scale flood plain applications. Computed stage hydrographs compared well with observed data using loss coefficients within expected ranges
