16. ABSTRACT

Ochoco Reservoir was surveyed in 1990 to compile field data for developing a reservoir

topographic map and computing a present storage-elevation relationship. The data were also

used to estimate the volume of sediment that has accumulated in the reservoir since dam

closure in 1920. The 1990 bathymetric survey utilized sonic depth recording equipment

interfaced with an automated microwave positioning system that gave continuous depth and

sounding positions throughout the reservoir. The above-water reservoir area was calculated

from close interval cross sections measured from aerial photography flown in November of

1990. A new reservoir contour map was developed by the computer graphics program

SURFACE II using the collected data.

As of June 1990, at reservoir spillway crest elevation (ft) 3130.6, the surface area was

1,062 acres with a total capacity of 44,918 acre-feet and an active capacity of 44,142 acre-feet.

Since 1920, it is estimated that 3,082 acre-feet of sediment has accumulated below elevation

3130.6, which represents a 6.4 percent loss in storage capacity.

INTRODUCTION

Ochoco Dam and Reservoir, one of two water storage reservoirs of the Crooked River Project, is located on Ochoco

Creek at its confluence with Mill Creek. The dam, located in west-central Crook County near the geographic center

of Oregon, is about 6 river miles east of Prinevile, Oregon (fig. 1).

Ochoco Dam was constructed between 1917 and 1921 as part of the Veterans Farm Settlement Program undertaken

by the Ochoco Irrigation District, which was organized by the state of Oregon. The dam was constructed by

hydraulic fill methods with a foundation cutoff trench. Reservoir storage was first recorded in January 1920. Due

to safety concerns, the dam was rehabilitated by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1949 and 1950. The rehabilitation

was authorized in the Interior Department Appropriation Act of June 29, 1948, and involved:

• blanketing seepage areas on the right abutment

• improving upstream riprap

• adding zone 1, 2, and 3 materials to the top and downstream face of the dam, which raised the crest of the dam

5 feet.

The Crooked River Project, which incorporated the Ochoco Project, was authorized by Congress on August 6, 1956,

under Public Law 992, 84th Congress, 2d session.

Since construction of Ochoco Dun, much confusion has occurred due to the use of different datums for surveys of

reservoir features. Reclamation's 1949 rehabilitation of Ochoco Dam used a datum that established the spillway crest

as elevation (feet) 3130.9. Reclamation's capacity table, labeled 1959, used a datum referred to as the project datum

that established the spillway crest as elevation 3130.2. Since 1980, a datum based on mean sea level by the

U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, labeled CY 63 Oregon State, has been used for all surveys including the 1990

reservoir survey. This datum established a spillway crest elevation of 3130.56 feet, All elevations in this report are

referenced to the mean sea level datum labeled CY 63. To simplify the figures in this report all elevations were

rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Ochoco Dam (fig. 2) has a structural height of 125 feet, a hydraulic height of 112.9 feet, a top crest width of 30 feet,

and a crest length of 1,350 feet at dam crest elevation 3,142.7. The spillway, located at the left abutment, has a

curved, uncontrolled overflow crest, 275 feet in length at the spiliway crest elevation of 3130.6 and a 410-foot-long

concrete- and mortar-lined chute. The design capacity of the spillway is 11,200 ft3/s (cubic feet per second) at water

surface elevation 3135.9. The outlet works, located right of center of the darn, consists of:
• an intake tower containing a 6-foot-square cast iron slide gate

• a concrete conduit through the base of the darn housing a 44-inch steel pipe

• a 3.25-foot-square slide gate

• a stilling basin downstream from the regulating gate

• a waterway downstream from the stilling basin

The hydraulic capacity of the outlet works is 490 ft3/s at reservoir elevation 3130.6.

The original surface area of Ochoco Reservoir was 1,100 acres and capacity was 48,000 acre-feet at the spiliway

crest elevation of 3130.6. The 1990 survey measured a surface area of 1,062 acres and a capacity of 44,918 acre-feet

at the same reservoir elevation, indicating an estimated capacity loss of 3,082 acre-feet during the 70.4 years

(January 1920 to June 1990) since dam closure.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

This report presents the 1990 results of the first extensive sedimentation survey of Ochoco Reservoir by the Bureau

of Reclamation since construction of Ochoco Dam. The primary objectives of the survey were to:

gather data needed to develop new reservoir topography

• compute area-capacity relationships

• estimate storage depletion caused by sedimentation deposition since closure of Ochoco Dam.

Standard land surveying methods were used to establish horizontal and vertical control points for the aerial and

hydrographic surveys. A horizontal grid system was established for both surveys using monumented control points

located near the dam. The bathymetric survey was run using sonic depth recording equipment interfaced with an

automated survey system consisting of a line-of-sight microwave positioning unit capable of determining sounding

locations within the reservoir. The system continuously recorded reservoir depth and horizontal coordinates as the

survey boat was steered across close-spaced gridlines covering the reservoir area. The positioning system provided

information to allow the boat operator to maintain course along these gridlines. Water surface elevations measured

by the land surveyors at the time of data collection were used to convert the sonic depth measurements to true lake

bottom elevations.

The 1990 surface areas at predetermined 5-foot contour intervals were generated by a computer graphics program

that produced a new contour map of the reservoir (fig. 3). The revised area and capacity tables were produced by

2
a computer program that uses measured contour surface areas and a curve-fitting technique to compute area and

capacity at prescribed elevation increments.

Table I contains a summary of reservoir watershed characteristics and sediment data for the 1990 survey. The

1990 survey determined that the reservoir has a storage capacity of 44,918 acre-feet and a surface area of 1,062 acres

at the spiliway crest elevation of 3130.6. Since closure in 1920, the reservoir has accumulated a volume of

3,082 acre-feet of sediment below elevation 3130.6. This volume represents a 6.4 percent loss in total capacity and

an average annual loss of 44 acre-feet. Because of the small amount of sediment estimated to have accumulated in

the reservoir since the original survey, a resurvey of Ochoco Reservoir should not be necessary unless major

sediment inflow occurs in the future.

DESCRIPTION OF WATERSHED

The drainage area of the Ochoco Reservoir basin (above the dam) is 291 square miles (fig. 4). It lies on the western

slope of the mouneims separating the Deschutes and John Day River basins. The elevation of the basin ranges from

elevation 3049.0 at the intake gate of the outlet works to mountain peaks nearly 7000 feet in elevation.

There are three distinct zones in the basin. The lower zone has a sparse cover of juniper and grass, low hills with

steep side slopes, shallow soil cover, and numerous rock outcroppings. The middle zone has larger trees, primarily

ponderosa pine, and better grass cover. The soil is deeper than in the lower zone, but still fairly shallow. The upper

zone has a heavy forest cover, a good grass cover, and some rock outcroppings are visible. The soil mantle is deeper

than in the lower two zones and the side slopes are not as steep.

The valley of Ochoco Creek has been eroded in rocks of volcanic origin. The rocks consist primarily of tuffs and

lava flows of basalt, andesite, and rhyolite. Where soft tuffs are present in the canyon walls beneath thick lava

flows, conditions conducive to landsliding exist. Many landslides have occurred along Ochoco Creek, but none are

known to be active at the present time. One of these slides constitutes the right abutment and part of the foundation

of Ochoco Dam.

RESERVOIR OPERATIONS

The reservoir is operated for flood control as set forth in "Flood Control Regulations" dated August 1969, Corps of

Engineers. Regulations provide capacity for flood control from November 15 through January 31 between reservoir

3
elevations 3113.6 and 3130.6. After February 1, the capacity reserved for flood control is based on runoff forecasts.

The reservoir is a multiuse facility having (following values are from June 1990 area-capacity tables):

• 5,901 acre-feet of surcharge capacity between elevations 3130.6 and 3135.9

• 16,041 acre-feet of multiple-use storage (flood control and irrigation) between elevations 3113.6 and 3130.6

• 28,098 acre-feet of irrigation storage between elevations 3048.7 and 3113.6

• 779 acre-feet of dead capacity between elevations 3025.6 and 3048.7

Records for Ochoco Reservoir show an average unregulated inflow of 45,300 acre-feet per year. The estimated mean

annual runoff from the basin is 2.92 inches. Ochoco Reservoir operation ranged from a minimum elevation of

3047.0 feet, which occurred several times in the 1920's and 1930's, to a maximum elevation of3132.0 in April 1928.

The monthly inflow and end-of-month stage records in table I show the extreme annual fluctuation of the reservoir.

SURVEY METHOD AND EQUIPMENT

The Ochoco Reservoir survey was completed using the contour method as outlined by Blanton hf. The procedure

involved collecting adequate coordinate data for developing a reliable contour map by photogrammetnc and

bathymetric survey methods. Standard land surveying methods were used by Crooked River Project Office personnel

to establish horizontal and vertical control points for both survey methods. A horizontal grid system was established

for both surveys using monumented points located in the reservoir area. The above-water thta was collected by

aerial photography in November 1990 at water surface elevation 3050.5. The field survey work for the bathymetric

survey involved establishing a triangulation network around the reservoir to provide horizontal and vertical control

for all required grid lines and shore stations. There were no previously established range lines on the lake and it

was decided not to establish permanent range lines during this survey. Because of the size and shape of the lake,

any future survey would employ the contour method. Therefore, permanent range line end markers were not

necessary.

The hydrographic survey took place June 4 through June 5, 1990, with the reservoir at water surface elevation

3092.3. The bathymetric survey was run using sonic depth recording equipment interfaced with an automated survey

system consisting of a line-of-sight microwave positioning unit capable of determining sounding locations within the

reservoir. This positioning system transmitted line-of-sight microwave signals to fixed shore stations and converted

the reply time to range distances, which were used by the system data logger to compute the coordinate position of

the sounding boat. The survey system continuously recorded reservoir depth and horizontal coordinates as the survey

boat moved across close-spaced gridlines covering the reservoir area. To produce adequate data for developing

contours of Ochoco Reservoir, grid spacings of 200 to 300 feet were selected. The system gave directions to the

boat operator to assist in maintaining course along the close-spaced gridlines. During each run, the depth and

position data were recorded on a floppy disk for subsequent processing by Denver Office personnel. A graph plotter

was used in the field to track the boat and ensure adequate coverage during the collection process. Water surface

elevations surveyed at the time of collection were used to convert the sonic depth measurements to true lake bottom

elevations.

SEDIMENT ANALYSES

The 1990 survey results estimate a deposit of 3,082 acre-feet of sediment below elevation 3130.6 since closure in

January 1920. Of the 3,082 acre-feet of deposited sediment, 2,341 acre-feet were deposited in the active pool and

741 acre-feet in the inactive pool storage areas. The average annual rate of sediment deposition in the 70.4 year

period between closure and June 1990 was 44 acre-feet per year or 0.15 acre-foot per square mile of contributory

drainage area. The storage loss represents a 6.4 percent loss in total capacity. Table 1 contains the Ochoco

Reservoir sediment accumulation and water storage data based on the 1990 survey.

Due to the small amount of sediment that is estimated to have accumulated in the reservoir since the original survey,

a resurvey of Ochoco Reservoir should not be necessary unless major sediment inflow occurs in the future.

RESERVOIR AREA AND CAPACITY

Original Capacity

The original Ochoco Reservoir capacity table used by Reclamation was dated 1959. For this study, it was assumed

that the 1959 table represented the original conditions when reservoir storage began in Januaiy 1920. These capacity

table values differ slightly from the values in Reclamation's published allocation sheets and the State of Oregon

capacity table because of datum discrepancies and dam modifications. The surface areas used to develop

Reclamation's 1959 capacity table are not available, which precludes regeneration and verification of the table.

Previous research has concluded that the 1959 table was adequate pending development of the new area-capacity

table. Because the values in the 1959 table cannot be verified, all storage losses due to sediment accumulation are

labeled as estimates. The reported original surface area of Ochoco Reservoir was 1,100 acres and capacity was

48,000 acre-feet at the spiliway crest elevation of 3130.6.

Development of 1990 Contour Areas

The 1990 contour surface areas fo Ochoco Reservoir were developed by generating a contour map from the

collected aerial and underwater coordinate data. Five-foot contour intervals of the lake area were created by a

computer graphics software program [2]. A modification of this program by the Denver Office calculated surface

areas of the closed contours of the generated map. The final reservoir map shown on figure 3 was prepared by the

Denver Office Computer Drafting Unit of the Drafting Section. The map has a scale of 1 inch equals 500 feet and

5-foot contour intervals.

1990 Revised Storage Capacity

The storage-elevation relationships based on the 1990 aerial and underwater survey data were developed using the

area-capacity computer program ACAP85 [31. Surface areas at 5-foot contour intervals computed from the aerial

and underwater survey data were used as the control parameters for computing reservoir capacity. The program

computes an area at elevation increments of 0.01- to 1.0-foot by linear interpolation between the 5-foot contour

intervals. The program begins by testing the initial capacity equation over successive intervals to ensure that the

equation fits within an allowable error limit, which was set at 0.000001 for Ochoco Reservoir. This capacity

equation is then used over the full range of intervals fitting within this allowable error limit. For the first interval

at which the initial allowable error limit is exceeded, a new capacity equation (integrated from the basic area curve

over that interval) tests the fit until it also exceeds the error limit. Thus, the capacity curve is defined by a series

of curves, each fitting a certain region of data. Final area equations are derived by differentiating the capacity

equations, which are of second order polynomial form:

y = a1 + a2x + a3x2

where:

y = capacity,

x = elevation above a reference base,

a1 = intercept, and

a2 and a3 = coefficients

Results of the 1990 Ochoco Reservoir area and capacity computations are listed in table 1 and plotted on figure 5

A separate set of 1990 area and capacity tables has been published for the 0.01-, 0.1-, and 1-foot elevation

6
increments [4]. As of June 1990, at reservoir spiiway crest elevation 3130.6, the surface area was 1,062 acres with

a total capacity of 44,918 acre-feet and an active capacity of 44,142 acre-feet.
