Description

Jennifer Bountry leads the Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Branch of the US Bureau of Reclamation's Technical Service Center in Denver, CO where she helped to coordinate and draft an interagency guidance document on scaling sediment transport analyses to the project risk.  It is a helpful and important document that I recommend to any group moving towards a dam removal, to help them triage the analyses required for their decommissioning.  Jennifer was also involved in the analyses for the largest anthropogenic dam removal to date, and talked to us about her team's experiences with the Elwah dams.  We wanted to wrap up our reservoir sediment mini-season talking about the final stage in the reservoir sediment life-cycle, and her experiences on the project and national scale made Jennifer an excellent guide into this world.The Dam Removal Analysis Guidelines for Sediment are here:https://www.usbr.gov/tsc/techreferences/mands/mands-pdfs/DamRemovalAnalysisGuidelinesForSediment_09-2016_508.pdfDam Removal Cost Triage "Shiny App": https://wrises.shinyapps.io/DamRemovalCostPredictiveModel/Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:(Note: This link was broken and has been fixed)https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcastand the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibson
