EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN FOR SHEP DAM
1.0
INTRODUCTION
The present emergency action plan is designed for such a gigantic project which roosts prominently in
the world map of large dam. The Shrinagar Hydro Electric Project, located near Shrinagar town of
Tehri Garhwal and Pouri Garhwal District of Uttarakhand State, is constructed across Alaknanda river to
install 4 Power Units of 82.5 MW each (Total 330MW). This is a run of the river type project with
small storage. The project comprises construction of 90m high and 248m long concrete diversion dam
with 8 Nos. of spillway bays. 4 Nos. of under sluices are provided in spillway block Nos. 10 & 11 for
extraction of silt deposited. The main purpose of providing these under sluices in the spillway blocks is
to remove the deposited silt by opening the service gates and also to deplete the reservoir in case of
emergency.
Two nos. concrete lined head race tunnels each of 9.8m dia. with requisite Intake structure is provided
on the right bank of the dam. A reinforced cement concrete surface desilting basin with two
compartments, silt extraction system is provided on the d/s of HRT/supana nalla conduit with requisite
gated structure for extraction of silt deposited in silt chamber.
A 3 0 5 0 m long concrete lined Power channel is located on the d/s of desilting basin to carry clean
water. A concrete lined Forebay channel is provided immediately D/s of Power Channel upto Forebay
Intake Structure to carry clean water to Forebay Intake Structure/ Penstock liners. A lined by-pass
channel having bypass structure with gate is provided on the left bank of the Forebay channel to
automatically release its excess flow into the river in case of emergency closure of power house unit
to ensure safety of the power channel and Forebay channel in the moment of emergency. Forebay
Intake structure with 4 Forebay vents and 4Nos. of Penstock Liners is provided at the D/s end of the
Forebay channel to deliver clean water to 4 Power units.
The scheme utilized for power generation ahead of around 66 m on the river Alaknanda which can be
developed in the Shrinagar Valley.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN FOR DAM
1.1
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
The emergency action plan is a necessity for the size & magnitude of a project like SHEP Dam due its
location in the seismically active zone and its typical geology, the potential emergency may arise out of
any situation involving flood due to breach or other structural failures as well as major floods without a
breach included. Other unusual situations may also arise by sudden overtopping of the dam, due to
existing spillway capacity falling short despite the best efforts to route the floods. Another factor
involves which may make the stability of the dam questionable i.e. unusual seepage or piping through
the dam or excessive uplift pressures beneath the dam body, sliding of the side slopes, embankments,
earthquake damages and land slide generated waves within the reservoirs, equipment mal functions,
foundation failure, and sabotage. Any one of these factors can trigger the disaster which may disrupt
normal human life in its established social traditional and economic system. The destruction of
environment caused by extra ordinary natural phenomena or human created hazards results into
hardship and suffering beyond redemption unless outside help is managed to the affected populace. A
hazard happens to be a perceived event which threatens both life and property. A disaster is the
realization of this type of hazard. It may turn out to be a disaster if proper management and mitigation
measures are not ensured to alleviate the suffering of the people of the affected area. Emergency
action plan in its ambit identifies potential emergency condition at a dam and specific pre planned
actions to be followed to minimize property damages and loss of life. Broadly the causes responsible
for such type of disasters may be classified as:
·
Hydrologic: such as flooding due to large releases, seepage slumping, piping,
embankment cracking, embankment deformation, movement of concrete section
(sliding or overturning), settlement failure of spillway gates or supporting structures,
outlet works, equipment malfunctions etc.
·
Earthquake: This natural cause which may have impact on the structural stability of the
dam resulting into embankment piping, cracking and movement of concrete section.
·
Other events: These include equipment failure security/criminal action, structural fire,
land slide, wild fires, storm of extreme intensity, cloud burst and sabotage etc.
Emergency action plan requires the project authorities to moderate or alleviate the problems at the
dam. It includes procedures and information to assist the authorities in issuing early warning and
notifications messages to responsible downstream. In this E.A.P. potential emergency or imminent

emergency arising due to hydrologic reasons as classified earlier, has been considered as most likely
occurrence.

NOTIFICATION FLOW CHART
N.F.C. is a very important component of the E.A.P. which may meet emergency conditions.
·
Failure is imminent or has occurred.
·
Potential emergency situation has developed or is developing.
·
Flood is occurring or is expected.
The SHEP Dam was commissioned and dedicated to the nation on 14th April 2015. The dam since its
commissioning has been run so far by the ever vigilant administration. In the past the emergencies arising
out of the situations have been managed deftly and efficiently. The uncertainty about the future requires
the same vigilance and keen watch dog behavior as an emergent need of the times to come. The efforts in
the past have been fruitful as the running and the maintenance of the project has been carried out
according to the provisions of the codes and procedures as laid down in the operation and maintenance
manuals.
Despite all these good input and stringent efforts these may fall short of the likely natural aforesaid
unprecedented events. In order to cope with the future emergencies and the statutory compulsions of the
present time, four number alert level situation developing very slowly to situation of inevitable
catastrophe are summarized as below and find mention at Annexure-XI Also four number N.F.C. covering
the afore mentioned situations have been incorporated as annexure -X so as to pass on the information
about the developing situation to all responsible and concerned officers. The narrative information
supplementing the flow chart of different situation as above has been provided and appended at
annexure-XI with detail. Sample warning messages explicitly giving a brief specific situation are also
attached as annexure-X. An updated copy of the NFC is posted in all the offices of the officers having
responsibility in the EAP.
2.0
RESPONSIBILITIES
GVK administration is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of SHEP Dam. The duties and
responsibilities are clearly defined in respect of the different divisional engineers placed under different
controls as per org. chart at Annexure-XVI. However in order to make emergency plan more effectively
(330 MW) SRINAGAR HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT

(330MW) ALAKHNANDA HYDRO POWER CO. LTD
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN FOR DAM
implemented, the personnel manning the project should be aware of the responsibilities at the time of
developing inevitable or imminent situations. Such situations demand that Engineer SHEP Dam &
Reservoir Management and Engineer, SHEP Mech., and Engineer, SHEP Electrical will be responsible to
perform pivotal role at site of emergency on the project. Above all Engineer SHEP Dam Division would be
handling the situation through the active participation of the other associates being overall in charge of
the SHEP Dam including all related vital structures. Engineer In charge, SHEP Dam would determine and
identify the triggering events which require emergency action and ensure deputing of responsible
personnel to meet such exigency. This may include incident of sabotage. In this case Engineer, SHEP Dam
Division will immediately inform Project Security Officer who will act promptly as per his duties and
responsibilities. The most likely situation expected to develop may be due to unprecedented high floods in
Alakhnanda catchment. He will immediately inform his high offices as per flow chart of External Alert
contained at Annexure-XI. He will also inform Engineer, SHEP Mech., Engineer Water Regulation and
others as per N.F.C. However, under certain special circumstances the duty of informing the developing
emergency or imminent emergency, the power may be delegated to Engineer Instrumentation. In an
inevitable mishap all agencies/partner states to whom water is being supplied or the districts of the states
through which the river Alakhnanda runs past will be informed about the exigency well in time as per
N.F.C. The list of the Deputy Commissioners of the district through which the river Alakhnanda transverses
its course has been appended as Annexure- XII, VI
The appended N.F.C. amply explains the route and destination to where the information of the mishap is
to be passed on. It may also be made imperative and followed in true sense that the flood discharging
facilitation/installations are manned by the efficient and the most experienced operators and the
procedures for their operation during such hours of emergency are strictly carried out in accordance with
the provisions of the O & M. The brief sequence of operation of the gates at SHEP Dam may be depicted
and the staff be made well aware of it. The periodic seminars or instructive training sessions may also be
made part of emergency plan. This will go a long way in handling the emergency situation aptly.
In an eventuality of grim flood situation such as inundation which may threaten the township or other
populated areas upstream or downstream of SHEP Dam, Engineer, SHEP Dam would notify promptly to all
departmental and civil authorities with the due approval of high authorities as per N.F.C. having concern
with the cropping up situation. This also includes peripheral districts on the rim of the reservoir

his team officers and deploy the resources at his command to tide over the situation and have all the
possible help by the Co-ordination Relief Committee Pauri and call help from central agencies such as
I.M.D. CWC etc. will have to be informed as per N.F.C. as they have also the responsibility to discharge by
issuing warning messages through various media such as audio, visual & print media etc. Above all
another important action to be taken would be to get the water releases from Vishnu Preyag Power Plant
into river Alakhnanda through Engineer In charge, Vishnu Preyag Project Further to cope with the
developing/imminent / emergent situation such as unprecedented high floods as above, the officers
under various teams would study/handle the situation promptly without any hitch or hesitation. They
would be responsible to act with alacrity on identification and declaration of emergency of external alert
level (Red) in consultation / approval of high officers. A siren will be sounded in the presence of Engineer
In Charge Headquarter (EAP co-coordinator). The mode of sounding siren will be as follows:
·
In case of emergency, the duration and number of sound blasts will be 2 minutes BLOW 30
seconds BREAK for 4 times.
·
For all clear signals it will be continuous siren for 5 minutes which will be sounded upon the
direction of Engineer In Charge, SHEP Dam after the emergency is over.
It is also added that the sirens installed at SHEP Dam and in Township area would sound simultaneously
at the time of declaration of the emergency. The staff operating the sirens need be made well
conversant of the emergency sounding mode as described. The operation of the alarms will be checked
periodically. Its proper functioning will be done and confirmed by testing annually when the EAP is
reviewed every year.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
3.1
Emergency identification, Evaluation & Classification
It is mandatory on the part of Engineer In Charge, SHEP dam to determine and identify situations that
require an emergency action. Therefore establishment of procedures for timely recognition are
imperative. To serve as a guide at that time following emergency identification, evaluation & classification
procedure elements are detailed below: Listing of the conditions or events which could lead to or indicate
an existing or potential emergency. Situations involving flood emergencies due to a breach or other
structural failure as well as a major flood without a breach should be included. Unusual situations such as
those caused:(a) By overtopping of a dam due to insufficient spillway capacity during large inflows to the reservoir
(b) By seepage or piping through the dam over long internal conduits
(c) Slope embankment slides
(d) Earthquake damage &
(e) Landslide generated waves within the reservoir.
Hydraulics, hydrodynamics, hydrology, sediment transport Mechanics and geo- technical aspects are all
involved in breach formation and eventual dam failure.
The prominent causes can be listed as follows:

3.1.3
All other events: These are related to hazardous material spills/ releases, equipment failures,
security / criminal actions, fish / wildlife impacts, wildfires, structural fires, landslides, extreme storm,
sabotage, etc. One or more of the above unusual situations will initiate declaration of an emergency for
internal alert or external alert.
A brief description of the means by which potential emergencies will be identified, including the data &
information collection system, monitoring arrangements, surveillance, inspection procedures and other
provisions for early detection of conditions indicating an existing or potential emergency. Emergency
events occur with unusual situations varying degrees of severity and predictability. An emergency may
develop gradually and be steadily monitored providing ample response time. Conversely, an emergency
may develop suddenly requiring immediate emergency response to prevent devastating loss of life or
impacts to structures or the environment. The following definitions are used to classify emergency
events according to an ascending and progressive order of severity to which the dam downstream or
off-site population, structures or environment are threatened. Condition may dictate that situation is
classified as imminent without passing through the less severe situations. A smooth transition should
occur, if the situation is classified as “developing” prior to “imminent”.

ASSESMENT of DEGREE of SERIOUSNESS of unusual situation is required. It
may be classified as the BLUE LEVEL, YELLOW LEVEL, ORANGE LEVEL and RED
LEVEL alert according to their seriousness.
Guidelines lie mainly in the interface between the internal and external emergency planning, being the
two main aspects of the following:
3.2.1
Definition of alert levels: If an incident happen with the dam or problem arises related with the
dam over its foundations or with landslides into the reservoir, earthquakes, adverse meteorological
situations or any other alert must be given to civil protection system. The gravity of the problem may
obviously vary with the situation, but in order to assure that all the entities involved in emergency actions
are behaving in accordance with the situation, the alert levels need to be previously defined, and must be
the same for the internal and external emergency plan of each dam.
These alert levels are established in colors, from Blue, the lowest level that corresponds to a routine or
normal situation, to Red, corresponding to a serious or catastrophic situation. The alert levels defined are
presented in Annex-XI. Its underlying philosophy relates the gravity of dam problems with the expected
impacts in the downstream valley and the likelihood of the total dam rupture.
(330 MW) SRINAGAR HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT
14
(330MW) ALAKHNANDA HYDRO POWER CO. LTD
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN FOR DAM
3.2.2
Alert and Warning systems: When facing problematic situation, the entity exploring the dam must
judge the corresponding alert level and notify the civil protection system, in order to allow the
development of the necessary actions, according to the situation.
If the dam rupture is very likely (orange alert level) or imminent (red level) give” external
alert” signal
and the entity exploring the dam must warn population downstream of the dam. In orange level, the
warning indicates people to be ready for evacuation and in red alert to evacuate quickly.
·
Given that a dam rupture can be very sudden, it is assumed that people leaving up to a certain
distance downstream of the dam have to evacuate by their own means, with no time to wait for
civil protection help.
·
Procedures, aids, instructions and provisions for interpreting information and data to assess the
severity and magnitude of any existing or potential emergency should be clearly defined. The
table covering different emergency situations demanding entirely separate approach to tackle
each case is given as per Annexure-XI.

running simultaneously, it is very much imperative to have an alternative source of power to meet with
such situation so that execution may be carried out smoothly without any hindrance. For restoring power
supply to the radial gates (in the event of failure of existing arrangement of power supply, the controls be
immediately connected to the feeder from the D.G. Bank.

RESERVOIR OPERATION LEVELS
The project is planned as a run of the river type scheme. The upper level of the reservoir is governed by
the expected tail waters of the proposed Utyasu dam on the upstream side and accordingly FRL has been
fixed as 605.5m. The minimum draw down level (MDDL) has been kept as el.603m and this level provides
live poundage of about 8.0 million cubic meters. (Ref. Area capacity curve of the reservoir at AnnexureXV). The live poundage of 8 Mcum would be sufficient for peaking operation of the station for about four
hours daily. Inflow in excess of the reservoir storage capacity and hydraulic capacity of the generating
plant and environmental release requirements is discharged through the spillway bays and under sluice
openings. Eight numbers of spillway gates and four number of under sluice openings will manage the
excess inflow. The outflow discharge arrangements and corresponding reservoir levels are discussed

below:
·
The water conductor system for power generation has been designed to pass a discharge up to
616 cumec and is connected to the reservoir through an intake structure about 100m upstream of
the dam axis. The reservoir shall be operated between FRL and MDDL during the lean period for
optimal use of the reservoir for power generation at the project, environmental releases and
power generation downstream. During this period, the Power Station can be operated as RoR at
FRL or for peaking between FRL and MDDL on a daily basis. After peaking operation between FRL
and MDDL, the reservoir level shall be restored to FRL at the end of the day.
·
Design flood for design of the spillway discharge capacity has been computed as 19200 cumec
and corresponds to the SPF. The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) has been computed as 26400
cumec. The spillway consists of 8 bays each of 14.5m width and can pass the SPF at FRL and PMF
at MWL. This has been confirmed in the hydraulic model studies conducted at IRI Roorkee.
·
Four numbers of Under sluices have been constructed in two dam blocks at elevation el.558m
and has a maximum discharge capacity of 875 cumec at FRL.
·
Water release at the rate of 5 cumec has also been envisaged for meeting the environmental
requirements.
·
During the lean period of the year, the reservoir shall be operated between FRL & MDDL, for
power generation.

SPILLWAY GATE OPERATION SCHEDULE
The objective of the gate operation schedule is to ensure safety of the dam structure including the gate
parts, hoists, energy dissipation arrangement and spillway tail channel while letting out the excess
discharge.
Shrinagar Hydroelectric Project is located on the river Alaknanda, is envisaged as a run-of-the-river
scheme with a comparatively small storage capacity. The reservoir is formed by the construction of a 90m
high diversion dam with spillway crest level at 584.5m. The reservoir will be operated between full
reservoir level (FRL) of 605.5m and Minimum Draw down Level (MDDL) of 603m. This provides a live
storage of 8Mcum between FRL and MDDL. For PMF condition, the reservoir level will rise to Maximum
Water Level (MWL) of 609.8m with all the outlet gates fully open. The reservoir is operated between FRL
and MDDL and ensures optimal use of the reservoir for power generation at the project. In a dependable
year, between 1 July and 10 September, the reservoir will be operated at or above FRL, depending on the
magnitude of the inflow. Inflow in excess of the reservoir storage capacity and hydraulic capacity of the
generating plant will be discharged through the spillway bays and under sluice openings.
Eight numbers of spillway bays and four number of under sluice openings will manage the excess inflow.
In order to meet the power generation requirements, the annual drawdown of the reservoir begins by 21
September, when the inflows into the reservoir decline as a result of receding monsoon. From 21
September till May, the volume of water flowing down the penstock to the powerhouse typically exceeds
the inflows into the reservoir and therefore during this period, water will be drawn from the live storage
for operation of the power station for peaking purpose. The small live storage available in the reservoir
can be used to meet the peaking requirements of the power station and the reservoir can be restored to
FRL using the inflow during this period. Thus, during this period, the reservoir will be operated between
FRL and MDDL for operation of the power station.
From 1st June, inflow will meet the power station operation on full load. The project authorities have
installed reservoir water level measuring instruments which data will be used to forecast the
instantaneous inflows into the reservoir for the purpose of maximising power generation and ensuring
timely refill of the reservoir. The instantaneous water level data is transmitted into a computer in the
control room and converted into inflow data with the help of reservoir capacity data and instantaneous
outflow data. The reservoir is drawn down during the period 21 September to 31 May on a daily basis for
peaking power generation and filled back at the end of the day. During this
(330 MW) SRINAGAR HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT
19
(330MW) ALAKHNANDA HYDRO POWER CO. LTD
EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN FOR DAM
Period the inflow is less than the power generation requirement and thus, the reservoir is operated
between FRL and MDDL.
5.3
Flood discharge and water level control
To start with the gate opening sequence for the automatic control system is proposed to be as follows:
Sequence of operation of the 8 gates is given below (gate numbering progresses from the left i.e.1 denotes
the left end gate and 8 denotes the rightmost end gate).
Two middle gates (nos.4&5) shall be opened symmetrically first, to prevent cross flows striking the river
banks. At any time during the operation of the, the difference in gate opening of any two consecutive
operation shall not exceed 0.5m. After opening the two central gates, the next two gates, (3&6) adjacent to
the central gates on both sides, shall be opened in symmetrical manner. The other gates (2&7) and (1&8)
then shall be opened symmetrically.
While closing the gates, the gates that were opened last shall be closed first. The procedure to be
followed for closing the gates shall be generally reverse of the procedure followed for opening the gates.
Complete closure of the gates shall be accomplished by gradual lowering of the gates by 0.2 to 0.3m in the
proper sequence.
Detailed spillway gate operation schedule for range of inflows has been computed and shown in detail in
tabular form in Annexure I. The table shows inflow rate and sequence of operation of the HRT intake
gates, under-sluice gates and the spillway gates. The control values in terms of inflow, reservoir level and
the range of operation of the spillway gates is extracted as shown in Table-I below
