ICE HARBOR DAM

BOAT RESTRICTED ZONE POLICY (BRZ)

1. PURPOSE. This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines the appropriate policies, procedures, and responsibilities to ensure personnel working in restricted zones are fully apprised of the hazards associated with the structures, current operating conditions, and required safety equipment.

2. APPLICABILITY. The Boat Restricted Zone (BRZ) policy is applicable to personnel or equipment entering the BRZ at Ice Harbor Lock and Dam.

3. INFORMATION. The following is provided as general information deemed important when operating in a BRZ.

a. The waters immediately around the structures and channels at the project present fixed and dynamic hazards to personnel & equipment performing work in close proximity to these areas.

b. Cables and wires may span the channels both up stream and down stream of the powerhouses and spillway structures. The cables and wires may be both above and below the water level. Changing pool elevations cause a varying clearance between the water and cables or wires. The wires and cables are difficult to see in daylight and impossible to see during the hours of darkness.

c. The structures have open, unprotected water inlets and outlets which are capable of ingesting, capsizing or swamping smaller vessels. These facilities have both remote and automatic operating capabilities.

d. Water velocities at the surface and below, are constantly altered due to normal operation of the turbines and spillway gates. (These alterations may be done automatically or remotely).

e. Protective relay actions can cause sudden water elevation variations resulting sudden increase or decrease in water velocities. These sudden elevation changes are sufficient in magnitude and duration to capsize a vessel, or pitch them into structures or wires when in close proximity. Personnel on board vessels are at great risk of being cast overboard during sudden elevation changes due to load rejection events.

f. Surface and submerged debris are an ever-present danger and are capable of fouling or breaking vessel propulsion or steering mechanisms.

g. Boat entrance into the Forebay BRZ at night will not be allowed without meeting the requirements in this document and equipment being tagged out according the 385-1-20 (Powerhouse Safer Clearance Procedure).

h. Boat entrance into the Tailrace BRZ at night will not be allowed.

4. REQUIREMENTS.

a. Personnel and Vessel Safety Equipment.

(1) All BRZ entrances will be at the discretion of the Operator in Charge.

(2) All personnel must wear USCG approved personal flotation devices while in the BRZ.

(3) All vessels entering the BRZ will meet but not limited to Coast guard safety standards for day and night operations. Included are fire extinguishing capabilities, running and anchor lights, an audible warning device capable of being heard anywhere within the BRZ. Each vessel entering the BRZ will have either a current Coast Guard Certification or State inspection sticker on the boat demonstrating the equipment meets current safety standards.

(4) Depending on location one boat with two motors or two boats (one being used as a rescue boat) will be required.

(5) A marine band radio capable of communication with the project control room on channel 14 must be available to the boat operator(s). Failure to maintain communication with the control room during the period the boat(s) are operating within the BRZ is cause for removal from the BRZ and future access denied.

(6) A rescue line shall be available in a throw bag or other approved device. The rescue line length shall be of sufficient length to reach personnel that have gone overboard. A minimum length of 50’ is recommended. Line which is constructed of a buoyant material is also recommended.

(7) A spotlight that can be easily operated by the boat operator must be available.

(8) No vessel may enter the BRZ without proper coordination with the Operations Manager, or his/her representative. The applicant must submit a written request for access to the Operations Project Manager two weeks in advance of the anticipated work date(s). The request must include a schedule and written work plan. The work plan must include a description of the work to be performed, the locations of the work and any known project operating requirements or restrictions necessary. Requests that require project support must be as far in advance as possible, but a minimum of 30 days prior to the anticipated need.

(9) The applicant must submit a written job and activity hazard analysis with the written request.

(10) A pre-work safety meeting will be held at the project prior to the anticipated work dates. The safety meeting must be attended by the Task/Work Leader or supervisor of the work crew.

(11) Immediately prior to entering the BRZ, entrants must contact the control room operator using marine band radio, channel 14, and request permission to enter the BRZ. The entrant’s must identify themselves and the BRZ to be entered. This will enable the control room operator the opportunity to relay any pertinent real time conditions about the BRZ prior to granting final approval. The BRZ entrants will contact the control room operator at the time they are leaving the BRZ.

(12) The project has 2 distinctive boat restricted zones (Forebay & Tailrace) which are split up again between the Spillway and Powerhouse. They all present varying degrees of risk.

Consequently, they have varying requirements.

b. BRZ Forebay Powerhouse. Operations in the Forebay BRZ in front of the powerhouse have the risk of vessels being pulled into structures, wires and cables. It is required to clear out the Main Unit Turbine and adjacent Main Unit Turbines during boating activity in the upstream BRZ that require approachment closer than 400 feet to the Dam structure.

(1) The work vessel second engine shall be of sufficient power that it can propel the boat and anticipated load upstream against current flows.

(2) If the nature of the work is outside of 400 feet from the Dam. BRZ entrants will have a second boat engine and standby safety boat for their activities while the Units are operating.

(3) The work vessel’s second engine shall be of sufficient power that it can propel the boat and anticipated load upstream against a current flows.

(6) The safety boat will meet all the other requirements listed in the section titled “Requirements.”

c. BRZ Forebay Spillway. Operations in the Forebay BRZ at the Spillway have the additional risk of surface spill due to the Removable Spillway Weir (RSW). No BRZ entrances will be made in front of the Spillway until the RSW’s spillway weir has been tagged out in accordance with 385-1-20. If the nature of the work is outside of 400 feet to the Spillway structure and the RSW is Tagged out. BRZ entrants will have a second boat engine and standby safety boat for their activities while spilling.

(1) The work vessel second engine shall be of sufficient power that it can propel the boat and anticipated load upstream against a current flows.

(2) Safety boats will be equipped with two engines, either of which is capable of propelling the boat and anticipated load upstream against a current flows.

(3) While acting as the safety boat, occupants of the boat will have no other duties other than observing the primary boat inside the BRZ.

(4) The safety boat will meet all the other requirements listed in the section titled “Requirements.”

d. BRZ Forebay North of Unit 5 and South of Spillbay 2. When boat operations in the forebay require work North of Unit 5 and South of Spillwbay 2 a combination of Powerhouse and Spillway requirements shall be used.

(1) No entrance into this area will be allowed without the RSW Tagged out.
