1. PURPOSE
Per 10 CFR Part 63 (Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Wastes in a Geologic Repository at
Yucca Mountain, Nevada (Ref. 2.3.1)), the preclosure safety analysis (PCSA) for the geologic
repository operations area (GROA) must identify and analyze naturally occurring hazards, which
may lead to event sequences that could result in exposure of individuals to radiation. The
technical basis for inclusion or exclusion of a hazard must be provided. The purpose of this
study is to develop a probabilistic flood hazard curve in order to determine if floods should be
fully developed into such event sequences.
The key result of this study is the estimation of the severity of a flood, in terms of volumetric
flow rate, for a return frequency of 10 -6 per year (i.e., a return period of 1 million years). In
accordance with 10 CFR Part 63, event sequences associated with preclosure operations at or
below this return frequency do not require evaluation of dose and criticality consequences. Therefore, demonstration that the designed volumetric flow rate flood capacity exceeds the
million year return period flood is deemed to be sufficient to demonstrate that flood event
sequences may be excluded from the further event sequence analysis in the PCSA.
In the process of development of the flood hazard curve, a probable maximum precipitation
(PMP) and a probable maximum flood (PMF) were estimated. The PMP and PMF developed in
this analysis are simply a part of the independent development of the hazard curve. These
estimates are not intended to replace the PMP and PMF used as the basis for the flood design
features of the GROA.
A secondary purpose of this calculation is to provide a comparison to the results of Preliminary
Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5), Hydrologic
Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6), and Yucca Mountain
Project Drainage Report and Analysis (Ref. 2.2.10), which are a series of deterministic analyses
used as the basis for the design of the flood protection for the GROA. As shown in the
conclusion of this analysis, the results of Yucca Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis
(Ref. 2.2.10) are validated by this analysis.

3.2 ASSUMPTIONS NOT REQUIRING VERIFICATION
3.2.1 Homogeneity of Watershed Hydrologic Characteristics
Assumption—All precipitation inputs used in this calculation are assumed to be uniformly
distributed over the watershed, and the composition of the soils within the watershed is assumed
to be homogeneous.
Rationale—This assumption is justified because the watershed under study is relatively small,
less than 20 sq mi, as determined by ArcGIS in Section 6.1.1.
3.2.2 Precipitation Areal Reduction Factor
Assumption—The annual maximum precipitation values of different frequencies (from 1-year to 1,000-year events) are obtained from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Atlas 14 (Semiarid Southwest [Arizona, Southeast California, Nevada, New Mexico,
Utah] (Ref. 2.2.3)). Those values are developed for point-scale applications. If they are used for
large-scale modeling, an areal reduction factor (ARF) is usually applied ((Ref. 2.2.3), Section 7,
p. 62). The Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center is currently developing the ARF for
area sizes of 10 to 400 sq mi for semiarid regions (Semiarid Precipitation Frequency Project
(Ref. 2.2.22), Section 3.3). However, this work is still continuing, and no values are available.
In this calculation, it is assumed that ARF is equal to 1 (i.e., no reduction factor is applied).
Rationale—This assumption is reasonable because the area size in this calculation is small
(approximately 13.75 sq mi) and is close to the minimum area size of 10 sq mi considered by the
Hydrometeorological Design Studies Center. By assuming an ARF value of 1, the flood peak
estimation is slightly more conservative.
3.2.3 Layout of Surface Facilities
Assumption—The locations of the surface facilities, including the North Portal pad (NPP)
nuclear waste receiving and processing facilities, aging pad, roads, dikes, and ditches are
assumed to follow the Geologic Repository Operations Area Overall Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.8) and the Geologic Repository Operations Area North Portal Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.11). This assumption
is used throughout because the calculation is dependent on the configuration of the surface
facilities in relation to the flood plain.
Rationale—Although the final design of the surface facilities is not complete and it is likely to be
different from the two site plans used in this calculation, the calculation results are valid as long as the locations and dimensions of the facilities are approximately the same.
3.2.4 Man-Made Channels
Assumption—The GROA site plans (Geologic Repository Operations Area Overall Site Plan
(Ref. 2.2.8) and Geologic Repository Operations Area North Portal Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.11)) include man-made channels to divert water around and away from the surface facilities. The
exact geometric dimensions of the man-made channels are not known at present because the final
surface facility design is still not complete. This calculation follows approximately the
11 February 2008
Flood Hazard Curve of the Surface Facility Area
in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
geometric dimensions of man-made channels as specified in Yucca Mountain Project Drainage
Report and Analysis (Ref. 2.2.10, Table 6-2). A list of the man-made channels and their
geometric dimensions is presented in Section 6.1.1.
Rationale—Even though the exact design of the man-made channels is yet to be finalized, the
geometric dimensions in Ref. 2.2.10 are reasonable. Furthermore, the exact geometry, which
was used to determine the Manning's roughness coefficient, has little effect on the flood peak
flow rate because the sensitivity study in Section 6.4.4 shows that flood peaks are not sensitive to
Manning's roughness coefficient. The flood stage height, however, is dependent on the channel
geometry. If the flood stage height exceeds the design standard, it may become necessary that
the bottom width of the channel design be widened to lower the flood stage height or a higher
dike be built to prevent channel floodwater flowing over the bank.
3.2.5 Probability of PMF Components
Assumption—It is assumed that there are three major independent events contributing to the
calculation of probability of PMF: (1) the PMP, (2) the antecedent moisture condition, and (3) storm orientation and temporal distribution. PMF peak discharge was computed using an initial
loss of 0 in. and a uniform loss of 0.1 in./hr, which • represents a totally saturated watershed
condition. It is assumed that the probability of a saturated condition occurring prior to a PMP
event in the study area is 7.69 x 10 -4 (i.e., a 25-year storm has hit the area within one week prior
to the PMP hitting the area, which results in a probability of 0.04/52 = 7.69 x 1 0 -4 , where 0.04 is
the frequency of 25-year storm and 52 is the number of weeks in a year). It is further assumed
that a probability value of 0.1 is assigned to the condition such that the storm is perfectly aligned
to the basin shape and that temporal distribution is optimized, with the center of the storm
situated in the later half of the storm.
Rationale—This assumption is justified because PMF is always associated with PMP, and
a 25-year storm, which has a total of 1.75 in. of precipitation during the storm period, represents
the smallest storm that has enough water to satisfy the initial and infiltration losses while
producing some runoff. Additionally, it is conservative to assume that the basin remains
saturated after a 25-year storm has occurred within the past week, storms rarely align perfectly
with the basin shape, and temporal distribution of the storm is rarely optimized. A probability
value of 0.1 for this situation is a conservative estimate.
3.2.6 Temporal Distribution of Precipitation Events of Different Frequencies
Assumption—The temporal distribution of precipitation events of different frequencies is
assumed to be similar to the PMP temporal distribution.
Rationale—This assumption is justified because all of the extreme storm events in the YMP area
are storm events of the same type.

in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
3.2.7 Initial and Uniform Loss Parameters
Assumption—The initial loss parameter for the Hydrologic Engineering Center-1 (HEC-1) model
is assumed to be equal to 1 in. for floods, whose frequency ranges from 1 to 1,000 years. For
PMF simulation, the initial loss parameter is assumed to be equal to 0 in. The uniform loss
parameter is assumed to have a value of 0.1 in./hr for all flood events.
Rationale—Section 4.4.1 discusses how these loss parameters are derived. Ideally, they are
calibrated using historical hydrologic data. Because there are no historical hydrologic data for
the YMP area (i.e., the area draining through the surface facility layout location), these
parameters were estimated based on available literature values.
3.2.8 Exceedance Probability of Annual Maximum Flood Peaks and Annual Maximum
Precipitation Events
Assumption—It is assumed that the flood peak discharge has the same frequency or exceedance
probability as the annual maximum precipitation, which is used as input to the HEC-1 hydrologic
model to compute flood peak. This assumption is applied to all events except PMP and PMF.
Rationale—The probability values of annual maximum precipitation and maximum flood events
depend on how the basin initial and boundary conditions are set up. If these conditions reflect
proper hydroclimatic conditions of the underlying events, then the floods resulting from the
underlying storms should have the same frequency. Because there are no historical data to judge
the proper conditions, conservative initial and boundary conditions were used in this calculation
report.
3.2.9 Flow Bulking Factor
Assumption—A bulking factor of 10% is assumed, which would increase flood peak estimates by
10% to account for sediment and debris transport, as well as air entrainment.
Rationale—Flood volume can be bulked up at the basin outlet by air entrainment and by
sediment and debris transported from upstream subbasins. The HEC-1 hydrologic model used to
compute flood peaks does not consider this effect. A 10% bulking factor is assumed because
there are no data to estimate the bulking factor. A bulking factor of 10% is conservative
according to Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity
(Ref. 2.2.5, Section 5.10).

This calculation was prepared in accordance with EG-PRO-3DP-GO4B-00037, Calculations and
Analyses (Ref. 2.1.2), and LS-PRO-0201, Preclosure Safety Analysis Process (Ref. 2.1.4).
QA-DIR-10, Quality Management Directive (Ref. 2.1.1), Section 2.1.C.1.1.a.iii, applies to this
calculation, and the final version is designated as "QA: QA" because it is part of the PCSA.

The Geologic Repository Operations Area North Portal Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.11), the Geologic
Repository Operations Area Overall Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.8), Manning's Roughness Coefficient
(LMY Storm Drainage Calculations (Ref. 2.2.7), Section 4.3.7), and properties of channels used
in the HEC-1 model (Yucca Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis (Ref. 2.2.10),
Table 6-2) are obtained from "QA: N/A" sources. However, the use of these sources as inputs is
justified because these sources depict information for systems classified as not important to
safety and not important to waste isolation.
4.2 USE OF SOFTWARE
This calculation used both qualified software obtained from Software Configuration
Management and commercial off-the-shelf software. The list of qualified software used is
shown in Table 1. The HEC-1 hydrologic model, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center, was used to calculate flood hydrographs and flood
peaks (HEC-1 V4.0. 1999 (Ref. 2.2.16); HEC-1 Computer Program, User's Manual (Ref.
2.2.25)). HEC-1 was run on a Dell Optiplex Gn personal computer operated under the
Windows 95 operating system. The computer is located at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory in Livermore, California. The HEC-1 software has been used within the range of
validation according to Software Qualification Report For Hec-1 V4.0 (Ref. 2.2.12). The
ArcGIS software was used to delineate hydrologic basin units and flow paths (ArcGIS V. 9.2.
2007. Windows XP (Ref. 2.2.2)). The run was made on November 28, 2007, using the qualified
ArcGIS version 9.2 on a Dell Optiplex 745 computer operated under the Windows XP operating
system located at BSC Building 1450 in Las Vegas (Computer identification number:
YMP005035). The ArcGIS software has been used within the range of validation according to
Software Independent Verification and Validation Report: ArcGIS v9.2-00 (Ref. 2.2.13).

Excel, run on a Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Dell OptiPlex GX270 operated under
the Windows XP operating system (Computer identification number: 55274-640-1062534-
23906), was used to calculate PMP values and hydrologic parameters such as the time-lag
parameter of the unit hydrograph and stream slopes used in HEC-1. Word, run on the same
computer, was used to develop this report. MATLAB, also run on a Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratory OptiPlex GX270 under Windows XP, was used to make graphics and

4.3 DELINEATION OF THE HYDROLOGIC BASINS AND FLOW PATHS
,ArcGIS V9.2 was used to delineate hydrologic basins and flow paths for this calculation.
ArcGIS processes a gridded digital elevation model dataset with a spatial resolution of 100 ft for
the YMP area (IED Surface Facility and Environment (Ref. 2.2.9); DTN:
M00002SPATOP00.001 (Ref. 2.2.20)) to produce a map of hydrologic basins and flow paths.
The delineation is accomplished by the hydrologic analyst tool within ArcGIS V9.2. The
delineation procedure is briefly described as follows: (1) compute the flow directions for the
entire data domain; (2) identify and fill the sinks so that the flow path from any point within the
basin to the basin outlet can be clearly defined; (3) compute the flow accumulation areas; (4)
create basins of interest at pertinent locations using the interactive properties tool within the
hydrologic analyst; (5) overlay surface facilities, as outlined in the surface facility site plans
(Geologic Repository Operations Area Overall Site Plan (Ref 2.2.8) and Geologic Repository
Operations Area North Portal Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.11)) on the watershed map; and (6) compute the basin area sizes and channel lengths. The ArcGIS software has an internal function that
computes the number of pixels of each basin unit. The basin area is equal to the number of
pixels times grid cell size (e.g., 100 x 100 sq ft). The channel length is obtained using the
measuring tool in ArcGIS. The output of the delineation is shown in Section 6.1.1. The list of
basins and flow paths and associated physical properties is presented in Section 6.1.
Attachment 1 contains all of the ArcGIS files, including input files, output files, and a Microsoft
Word file that describes the steps in using ArcGIS software to perform basin and flow path
delineation ("Steps in Delineating Hydrologic Basins Using ArcGES.doc").
It should be noted that the surface facility site plans (Ref 2.2.11 and Ref. 2.2.8) are still not
finalized, and further changes to these plans may result in different basin delineation and flow
paths. However, any changes to the surface facility site plans in the future are not expected to
affect this calculation (Assumption 3.2.3 and Assumption 3.2.4).
4.4 SPECIFICATION OF HEC-1 MODEL PARAMETERS
Flood hydrographs and flood peaks at pertinent locations in the NPP and vicinity area were
calculated using the HEC-1 computer software. The HEC-1 software treats the watershed as a series of interconnected networks of hydrologic and hydraulic components (HEC-1 Computer
Program, User's Manual (Ref 2.2.25), Section 2). To run HEC-1, precipitation inputs must be
provided, and model parameters for each of the hydrologic and hydraulic components must be
specified. Section 4.5 describes the procedure for computing precipitation inputs for HEC-1.
The procedure for specifying HEC-1 model parameters is discussed here. The HEC-1 software uses a conceptual hydrologic model, and ideally its parameters should be calibrated using
historical precipitation and streamflow data (HEC-1 Computer Program, User's Manual
(Ref 2.2.25), Section 4); however, there are no historical hydrologic data for the YMP area.
Therefore, the HEC-1 parameters were defined based on the assumptions given in Assumption
3.2.7 in the case of initial and uniform loss parameters.
4.4.1 Initial and Uniform Loss Parameters
There are two loss parameters in the HEC-1 model: initial loss and loss during a precipitation
event. There are several options within the HEC-1 software to simulate these losses in the
15 February 2008
Flood Hazard Curve of the Surface Facility Area
in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
model. The Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity
flood analysis established that it is reasonable to use the initial loss and uniform loss option
((Ref. 2.2.5), Section 5.8). This calculation also adopts the same option. In both the Preliminary
Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) flood
analyses, the initial loss was 1 in., and the uniform loss was 1.5 in./hr throughout the
precipitation event. The uniform loss rate in these analyses was based on a percolation test
conducted in the YMP area (DTN: SNF29041993001.002 (Ref. 2.2.23)). There were questions
raised on the specification of loss parameters in these analyses. The value of 1.5 in./hr for
uniform loss is regarded as too high in Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the
North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) and Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North
Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) according to the comments in the Hui e-mail Review of
Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref. 2.2.17). It was pointed out that the use of percolation
capacity to represent the uniform loss is not reasonable because the percolation test is not indicative of how the infiltration process occurs during a storm runoff event. Infiltration during a
storm is a surficial phenomenon that is dependent on local surface conditions (e.g., initial
wetness, soil degradation, vegetation cover), slope, rainfall intensity, and saturation extent during
the storm. On the other hand, percolation capacity of the soil represents the standing (or
ponding) water condition, in contrast to storm runoff conditions. Therefore, the uniform loss
should be much smaller than 1.5 in./hr. This is especially true for the PMF calculation, which
would occur only under extremely moist conditions. As pointed out in "Determination of the
Probable Maximum Flood," Chapter 8 of Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of
Hydropower Projects (Ref. 2.2.14), published by the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, "For PMF runoff computations, the soil should be assumed to be saturated with infiltration occurring at the minimum rate applicable to the area-weighted average soil type
covering each subbasin."
In "Estimation of the HEC1 Loss Parameters for Routing the Probable Maximum Flood,"
Boufadel (Ref. 2.2.4) optimized the HEC-1 loss parameters for a PMF for a basin in southwest
Ohio using 20 historical extreme events and reported that the initial loss parameter is about 1 in.,
but the uniform loss parameter is only 0.1 in./hr. Because loss parameters cannot be calibrated
for the YMP area due to the lack of historical data, it is necessary to estimate them based on local
soil group information and on storm conditions. For the North Portal pad (NPP) and vicinity, the
Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity flood analysis reported that the soil group of the area belongs predominantly to soil groups B and D,
but soil group A and C are also present in a few soil samples (Ref. 2.2.5), Appendix II.
According to the Federal Energy Regulation Commission guidelines for the evaluations of
hydropower projects, the minimum loss for soil group A is 0.3 to 0.45 in./hr, for soil group B
0.15 to 0.3 in./hr, for soil group C 0.05 to 0.15 in./hr, and for soil group D 0 to 0.05 in./hr
("Determination of the Probable Maximum Flood" (Ref. 2.2.14), p. 55).
For this calculation, a range of initial and uniform loss parameters for a PMF were tested, as well
as flood events of various frequencies (Section 6.4.2). It was found that flood peaks of all
frequencies are sensitive to the uniform loss parameter. The sensitivity of flood peaks to initial
losses is dependent on storm intensity. The higher the storm intensity, the less sensitive are the
flood peaks to initial loss parameter. Because initial loss represents precipitation loss due to
canopy interception, filling of surface depressions, and surface absorption, this term should be
16 February 2008
Flood Hazard Curve of the Surface Facility Area
in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
relatively constant for all design storms except PMF. Consequently, several initial loss values
were examined, and a value of 1 in. for all events except the PMF was ultimately used. For the
PMF, the initial loss parameter was assigned a value of 0 in. to reflect the most extreme moist
condition. For the uniform loss parameter, a conservative value of 0.1 in./hr was used for all
flood events (Assumption 3.2.7).
4.4.2 Unit Hydrograph Time-Lag Parameter
The unit hydrograph method was used to develop the precipitation-runoff hydrograph for each
basin. Two parameters prescribe a unit hydrograph: the basin area and the time lag between the
storm midpoint and the flood peak. Basin area was determined by the ArcGIS software in this
calculation. There are different ways to determine the time-lag parameter. Previous BSC flood
analyses adopted the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Dimensionless Unit
Hydrograph (Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity
(Ref. 2.2.5), Section 5.6, and Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and
Vicinity (Ref 2.2.6), Section 4.2.4). The equation for computing time lag in hours using the
NRCS method is:
L lag = C
L( '
where
(Eq. 1)
coefficient
length of the main channel (mi)
ca = length along the main channel from the basin outlet to the point nearest the
basin centroid (mi)
slope of the main channel (ft/mi).
In the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity
(Ref 2.2.5) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref
2.2.6) flood analyses, C took the value of 1.1. It was pointed out in the Hui e-mail (Review of
Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref 2.2.17)) that a C value of 1.1 corresponds to an average
terrain condition, with a "peak rate factor (PRF)" of 484. PRFs range from 600 for steep terrain
down to 300 in very flat, swampy terrain (Advances in Modeling the Management of Stormwater
Impacts (Ref 2.2.24), p. 51). For the NPP and vicinity, the terrain is in the steep category, with
a slope of >7%. Accordingly, a conservative PRF value of 600 is chosen instead of a value of
484. This would result in a C value of 0.887, which was used in this calculation.
4.4.3 Manning's Roughness Coefficient for Flow Channels
This calculation used two methods to route water from upstream basins to downstream
confluence points: Muskingum-Cunge and kinematic wave. The Muskingum-Cunge method is
a superior method compared to the kinematic wave method (HEC-1 Computer Program, User's
Manual (Ref 2.2.25), Section 3.6.10). It was used for channel routing of all natural channels.
17 February 2008
Flood Hazard Curve of the Surface Facility Area
in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
For flow routing for short man-made channels, the simpler kinematic wave method was used.
For both methods, Manning's roughness coefficient (n) must be specified. In the Preliminary
Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) and the
Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) flood
analyses, Manning's n was set to 0.09. This calculation report used the same value as these two
analyses. In Samuel Hui's e-mail, a comment was made that the selection of Manning's n might
impact peak flow simulation (Review of Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref. 2.2.17)). To address
Hui's comment, a sensitivity study of Manning's n was done (Section 6.4.4).
4.5 CALCULATION OF PRECIPITATION INPUTS TO THE HEC-1 HYDROLOGIC
MODEL
Precipitation inputs are needed to drive the HEC-1 model. In this calculation, two types of
precipitation events were considered: the PMP and the annual maximum precipitation for
different frequencies. The PMP is defined as the theoretically greatest depth of precipitation for
a given duration that is physically possible at a particular location at a particular time of the year
(Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates, Colorado River and Great Basin Drainages (Ref. 2.2.15), Section 1.4). The annual maximum precipitation of a given frequency represents the
annual maximum precipitation event that would, on average, not recur within a specified time
period, also known as the return period. The annual maximum precipitation of a given frequency
is sometimes known as the design storm (e.g., 1-year storm, 2-year storm, 1,000-year storm).
For both PMP and design storms, only 6-hour events were considered because the flood peaks for the basin size under consideration occur within a 6-hour time frame. Further, it is assumed
that all precipitation events are uniformly distributed over the watershed because of the relative
small watershed size (Assumption 3.2.1).
The procedure for calculating PMP is described in NOAA Hydrometeorological Report No. 49
(Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates, Colorado River and Great Basin Drainages (Ref.
2.2.15), Section 6). There are two types of storms that would likely result in PMP: a convective
summer local storm (local) and a large-scale winter frontal storm (general). Both the general and
the local 6-hour PMP for the NPP and vicinity were computed. The local PMP is more intense
and about 2 times higher than the general PMP. Therefore, this calculation used the local PMP
to compute flood peaks.
The annual maximum precipitation values of different frequencies are obtained from NOAA
Atlas 14 (Semiarid Southwest [Arizona, Southeast California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah]
(Ref. 2.2.3)), whose data are in the form of isohyet precipitation maps. The 6-hour data for the
location corresponding to the centroid of the watershed were extracted. As pointed out in
Assumption 3.2.2, no ARF is applied here. The precipitation values for the NPP and vicinity
area are presented in Section 6.2.

Using the procedures described in Section 4.3, a map of hydrologic basins and flow paths was
derived using the ArcGIS software (Figure 1) (ArcGIS V. 9.2 (Ref. 2.2.2)). There are nine
natural basins and two overland flow elements, which were drawn based on surface facilities site
plans (Geologic Repository Operations Area Overall Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.8) and Geologic
Repository Operations Area North Portal Site Plan (Ref. 2.2.11)). The centroid of the watershed
is located at 36°5T North, 116°29' West (Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the
North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5), Section 4.1.2.1). Table 2 shows the list of hydrologic
basins and associated physical properties. Table 3 displays the list of channels used by the
HEC-1 software to route flow from upstream basins to downstream outlets, along with their

Figure 2 displays the schematic diagram of the watershed network. There are several key confluence points over the watershed, marked by CP1, CP2, and CP3. The confluence points are locations where floodwater from upstream basins and channels collects.
For this calculation, the focus is the peak flow from the hydrologic drainage area above CP3, which has a total area size of 13.75 sq mi. The final flood hazard curve is based on the drainage area above CP3 because CP3 is the outlet of the entire watershed, and it experiences the largest flood peak.

6.1.2 Hydrologic and Hydraulic Parameters of the Watershed
Based on the physical properties of the basins and flow paths, the hydrologic and hydraulic parameters were computed using the methods presented in Section 4.4. The loss parameters

were specified in a manner described in Section 4.4.1, with initial loss ranging from 0 in. for the
PMF and 1 in. for all other flood events. The uniform loss is equal to 0.1 in./hr for all flood
events. The time-lag parameters were computed using the NRCS method (Eq. 1). The time-lag
results are presented in Table 5. This calculation report uses the time-lag parameters
corresponding to the last column, with C = 0.887 instead of C = 1.1, because the watershed is
relatively steep. The two overland flow elements are not listed in the table because the time-lag
parameters are not used in the overland flow calculation by HEC-1.

To run channel flow routing schemes, parameters including channel length, side slope, channel shape, and Manning's roughness coefficient (n) need to be specified. Channel lengths and channel slopes can be determined using the ArcGIS software. The shape of all channels is trapezoidal in this calculation report, the same as in Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the
North Portal Pad and Vicinity flood analysis (Ref. 2.2.6). The bottom width and side slopes of all channels are based on the Yucca Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis (Ref. 2.2.10, Table 6-2). Because Manning's n is not measurable, it should be determined based on
channel physical properties. Previous flood analyses in the Yucca Mountain area suggested that Manning's n is in the range of 0.03 to 0.055 (Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for
the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5), Section 4.1.2.3). In the Preliminary Hydrologic
Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) flood analyses, a value of 0.09 was assigned to Manning's n to take into account the sediment and debris effect on channel flow (Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5), Table 5-1). This calculation report also used the same Manning's n as in these flood analyses. The Hui e-mail (Review of Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref. 2.2.17)) raised a question concerning the selection of Manning's n on flood peak simulation and flood inundation in the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) flood analysis. A sensitivity study presented in Section 6.4.4 shows that the selection of Manning's n is not critical to flood peak simulation because it is not sensitive to Manning's n

6.2 CALCULATION OF PRECIPITATION INPUTS
6.2.1 Probable Maximum Precipitation
Using Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates, Colorado River and Great Basin Drainages
((Ref 2.2.15), Section 6) procedures with the geographic data (namely the area and location of the watershed) as described in Section 6.1.1, the local PMP values were calculated for the drainage area above CP3 (13.75 sq mi). The general PMP for the drainage area above CP3 was also computed. The Excel spreadsheet for calculating the PMP is included as Attachment 2 of this calculation ("PMP calculation final.xls"). The final PMP values are shown in Table 7.

Local PMP is much more intense than general PMP (11.907 vs. 5.535) and is, therefore, used in this calculation report. For hydrologic drainage above CP3, the PMP value is 11.91 in./6 hr.

There are different ways to distribute precipitation temporally over the storm duration. Two
temporal distributions are recommended in Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates,
Colorado River and Great Basin Drainages, which place the maximum intensities in the middle
of the storm period (Ref. 2.2.15, Section 4.7). The difference between the two distributions is
that one distribution places the precipitation peak in the later half of the period, while the other
places it in the first half. The temporal distribution with a later precipitation peak would result in
higher peak flow. Therefore, the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North
Portal Pad and Vicinity ((Ref. 2.2.5), Figure 2) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the

6.2.2 Annual Maximum Precipitation of Different Frequencies
The armual maximum precipitation values of different frequencies for 6-hour duration at the
centroid of the watershed were obtained from Semiarid Southwest (Arizona, Southeast
California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah) (Ref. 2.2.3). Because the watershed size is small, no
ARF was applied to the precipitation values (Assumption 3.2.2). Table 8 lists the annual
maximum precipitation values and associated return periods. The PMP value is also included in
the table and is assigned to a return period calculated in Section 6.5.1. In Section 6.5.1, a
reasonable probability value for PMP is discussed. The temporal distribution for precipitations
of all frequencies follows a typical distribution as described in Assumption 3.2.6. Precipitation
multiplied by the series of all frequencies is included in an Excel file included in Attachment 2
("precip_all_freq.xls").

6.3 FLOOD PEAK SIMULATIONS
6.3.1 Flood Peak Discharge Simulations for the Hydrologic Drainage Area above CP3
Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 presented the inputs needed to run the HEC-1 model (HEC'-1 V4.0
(Ref 2.2.16)). The HEC-1 model was run using the precipitation and parameter values described
in these sections. Table 9 summarizes the peak discharges at CP3 for all precipitation events.
The last row of Table 9 shows the PMF value, which is the peak discharge value that resulted
from the PMP event. As stated in Assumption 3.2.8, the exceedance frequency of the peak
discharges of all storms except PMP was assigned at the same value as the associated annual
maximum precipitation events. The frequency of PMF is calculated in Section 6.5.1. Based on
Assumption 3.2.9, a bulking factor was applied to the flood peak discharges (Column 4 of Table
9). Table 10 shows the PMF peak discharges for different basins and confluence points. The
flood peaks for 1-year and 2-year return periods are not listed because there are no floods resulting from 1-year or 2-year precipitation events (i.e., the combined initial and uniform loss
for these events exceeds the precipitation input). Attachment 3 contains all of the input and
output files of HEC-1 model runs.

6.4 SENSITIVITY OF THE PEAK FLOW SIMULATION TO PARAMETER
UNCERTAINTY
The peak flow simulations presented in Section 6.3 used some of the parameters that were
specified differently from the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal
Pad and Vicinity (Ref 2.2.5) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad
and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) flood analyses. This section examines the sensitivity of flow peaks to
parameter uncertainty.

6.4.1 PMF Simulation Using the Parameter Setup from the 2004 BSC Flood Analysis
Using the parameter setup from the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad
and Vicinity ((Ref. 2.2.6), Sections 4.2 and 5.2) flood analysis, the HEC-1 model was run for the
hydrologic drainage basins above CP3. The peak flows at key confluence points are compared to
those presented in Section 6.3 (Figure 4). For the drainage area above CP3, the peak flow at
basin outlet CP3 simulated using Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and
Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) parameter setup is 29% less than the peak flow simulated using the
parameter setup presented in this calculation report (Figure 4). This information shows that the
new parameter setup results in peak flow simulations that are significantly higher than the
previous flood analysis. In the following sections, the individual parameters contributing most to
the difference in peak flows are discussed.
6.4.2 Sensitivity of Peak Flows to Loss Parameters
This section examines the sensitivity of peak flows to the specification of loss parameters in the
HEC-1 model. In both the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal
Pad and Vicinity (Ref 2.2.5) and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad
and Vicinity (Ref 2.2.6) flood analyses, the initial loss was set to 1 in., and the uniform loss was
set to 1.5 in./hr. Section 4.4.1 describes how the loss parameters were specified in this
calculation report. For the PMF, the initial loss parameter was set to 0 in., and the uniform loss
parameter was set to 0.1 in./hr. For flood events of lesser magnitude, the initial loss parameter
was set to 1 in., and the uniform loss parameter was set to 0.1 in./hr for all flood events.

Figure 4. Comparison of Peak Flows for the Hydrologic Drainage Basin above CP3 Due to Different
Hydrologic Model Parameters
Figure 5 illustrates the effect of initial loss parameter on flood peaks. This figure shows the ratio of flow peaks simulated using an initial loss parameter equal to 1 in., divided by flow peaks simulated using an initial loss parameter equal to 0 in. For a 5-year flood event, the flood peak ratio is approximately 5%, while for the PMF, the difference is very low (<1%).
Figure 6 shows the difference in peak flows due to the specification of the uniform loss parameter. Peak flow is very sensitive to the specification of the uniform loss parameter. The use of a uniform loss parameter of 1.5 in./hr (as in the case of Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6)) would result in an 18% lower peak flow compared to the use of 0.1 in./hr (as in this calculation report). These sensitivity results show that the specification of loss parameters can significantly influence the flood peak calculation.

6.4.3 Sensitivity of Peak Flow to the Time-Lag Parameter
This section investigates the sensitivity of peak flow to the specification of the time-lag parameter. As discussed in Section 4.4.2, the time-lag parameters used in Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) correspond to the average basin condition with a PRF of 484, as compared to the steep basin condition of the Yucca Mountain area, which should have a PRF of 600. Figure 7 displays the difference in peak flows due to differences in time-lag parameters. The flood peaks for CP1, CP2, and CP3 using the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6) time-lag parameters are about 12 to 13% less than the flood peaks using the time-lag parameter used in this calculation report.

6.4.4 Sensitivity of Peak Flow to Manning's Roughness Coefficient, n
Manning's roughness coefficient, n, is the parameter needed for channel flow and overland flow routing. The Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity
(Ref. 2.2.5), Table 5-1 and the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and
Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6, Section 4.2.5) flood analyses assigned a value of 0.09 for both natural and man-made channels. This calculation report tested Manning's n based on channel lining
materials. As specified in Section 4.3.7 of LMY Storm Drainage Calculations (Ref. 2.2.7), the n value is set to 0.013 for concrete channel lining. Based on Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering
Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5, Section 4.1.2.3), a value of 0.045 was assigned to natural channels. The peak flows simulated using the two different sets of Manning's n are displayed in Figure 8. The peak flow using both sets of Manning's n is virtually the same. This result confirms the finding from the Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.5) flood hazard study.

6.4.5 Summary of Parameter Sensitivity Studies
Section 6.4 examines the sensitivities of peak flows to different parameters in the HEC-1 model.
The results from Section 6.4.1 show that the peak flows simulated using the parameter setup
from the Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref. 2.2.6)
flood analysis are up to 29% less than those using the parameter setup in this calculation report.
In other words, using the parameter setup from this calculation to simulate flood peaks would
result in more conservative estimates of flood peaks. The most sensitive parameters are the
uniform loss parameter and the time-lag parameter, in the case of PMF simulation. The
combined effect of these two parameters accounts for almost all of the PMF peak discharge
difference. The sensitivity of flood peaks to the specification of the initial loss parameter
depends on the flood magnitude, with lesser floods having higher sensitivity.
6.5 DEVELOPMENT OF THE FLOOD HAZARD CURVE
Section 6.3 calculates the flood peaks resulting from annual maximum precipitation events of
different frequencies, and Section 6.4 demonstrates the sensitivity of flood peaks to different
parameter specifications. This section uses the results from the preceding sections to develop the
flood hazard curve (i.e., the frequency curve of flood peaks).
6.5.1 Probability of PMP
Before discussing how the flood hazard was derived and how probability was assigned to the
PMF, the probability of the PMP, which was used as input by the HEC-1 model to simulate the
PMF, will be investigated. Figure 9 displays the scattergram of maximum annual precipitation
value and return period (or frequency). Also plotted on the figure is the log-Pearson type III distribution curve, which is the widely accepted probability distribution for extreme storms in the
United States (Handbook of Hydrology (Ref. 2.2.19), Section 18.7.2; Tables of Percentage
Points of the Pearson Type III Distribution (Ref. 2.2.26), Table 1). From the figure, the log-
Pearson type HI curve fits the data reasonably well. Based on the extrapolation of the log-
Pearson curve, the 10,000-year storm event has a precipitation value close to 8 in. Further
extrapolating the log-Pearson curve (i.e., the red dashed line) to intersect the PMP line gives a
return period of about 70,000 years, equivalent to an exceedance probability of 1.43 x 10 -5 for
the PMP. The blue dashed line in the figure is the extrapolation based on storm data alone. This
line intersects the PMP line at 150,000 years, equivalent to an exceedance probability of
0.67 x 10-5 . Considering that the log-Pearson curve overpredicts the 1,000-year event, an
exceedance probability of 1.43 x le assigned to the PMP is a conservative and reasonable
estimate. The estimate of the PMP probability is used in Section 6.5.2 to derive the PMF
probability.

Figure 9. Precipitation Frequency Curve
6.5.2 Flood Hazard Curve
The key to developing the flood hazard curve is the estimation of the exceedance probability of
the flood events. As stated in the assumption (Assumption 3.2.8), the frequencies of all flood
events considered in this calculation, except the PMF, are assumed to follow the same
frequencies as the underlying precipitation events, provided that the initial and boundary
conditions of the basin reflect the proper hydroclimatic condition. The estimation of proper
hydroclimatic condition is achieved through the proper specification of hydrologic model
parameters. In this calculation report, it was done through the proper choice of the HEC-1 loss
parameters. If there are adequate historical hydrometeorological data available, it would be
advisable to calibrate these parameters to the data. Since there are no historical data in this case,
the loss parameters were selected such that the estimated flood peaks are biased toward the
conservative side. Using the loss parameters as presented in Section 4.4.1, the flood peak
discharges were simulated (Section 6.3.1). Figure 10 displays the flood peak discharges and
associated return periods at confluence point CP3 for all flood events.

Figure 10. Flood Frequency (Hazard) Curve
It is important to design the surface facilities such that the annual exceedance frequency of PMF is less than 10-6. Ensuring that the frequency of PMF is less than 1(1 6 is not a trivial issue because of the difficulty in assigning a probability value to the PMF. According to the Hydrology Subcommittee of the Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data, "no procedure proposed to date is capable of assigning an exceedance probability to the PMF or to near-PMF floods in a reliable, consistent, and credible manner" (Feasibility of Assigning a Probability to
the Probable Maximum Flood (Ref. 2.2.18), p. 43). This document concludes that "Given the paucity of rare-flood data and the lack of an adequate theoretical foundation, it does not appear possible to objectively define the probability of the PMF, at least within reasonable confidence limits" ((Ref. 2.2.18), p. 44). Nevertheless, the committee discussed several alternative methods, including extrapolation of frequency curve, joint probability, regional data methods, paleohydrology methods, and Bayesian techniques. Each of the methods has advantages and disadvantages.
The extrapolation method is based on statistical analysis of measured discharge data at the site. The regional data approach combines flood frequency curves from several sites of similar climatic, physiographic, and hydrologic properties located within a homogeneous region including the site of interest. The paleohydrology method estimates the probability of the PMF by utilizing historical records of floods that occurred several thousand years ago at the site. The Bayesian technique makes inferences about the likelihood of future events by exploiting many sources of information at the site in a Bayesian framework. These four methods all rely on historical data of different sorts, which are not available in the YMP area, making the joint probability method the logical approach employed for this calculation.
35 February 2008
Flood Hazard Curve of the Surface Facility Area in the North Portal Pad and Vicinity 000-PSA-MGRO-01900-000-00A
A number of researchers have investigated the joint probability approach ("Realistic Assessment
of Maximum Flood Potential" (Ref. 2.2.21); and "Conservatism of Probable Maximum Flood
Estimates" (Ref. 2.2.27)). The joint probability method estimates the PMF probability by
computing the joint probability of several events relevant to PMF. The relevant events may
include antecedent moisture condition, loss rate during the storm, storm orientation, and
temporal distribution. For a series of independent events, the joint probability, P(PMF), can be
expressed as:
P(PMF) = P(A).P(B) -P(C) (Eq. 2)
where
A, B, and C represent the independent events relevant to PMF.
For this calculation report, there are three major independent events contributing to the PMF: (1)
the PMP (A), (2) the antecedent moisture condition (B), and (3) storm orientation and temporal
distribution (C) (Assumption 3.2.5). From Section 6.5.1, the exceedance probability of the PMP
is less than 1.43 x 10-5 (i.e., P(A) 1.43 x 10-5). Based on Assumption 3.2.5, P(B) = 7.69
x le and P(C)=0.1. The three events are obviously independent. If all the probabilities of the
relevant events are combined, the joint probability obtained, P(PMF)= 1.43 x 10-5 X 7.69 x 10-4 x 0.1 = 1.0997 x 10-9, is equivalent to a return period of approximately 90.9 million years.
With the PMF and the associated return period plotted in Figure 10, the solid and dashed blue
lines form the flood hazard curve. From this figure, the peak discharge corresponding to
1,000,000-year and 500,000-year return periods (i.e., probability of 10 -6 and 2 x 10-6) can be
interpolated. The 1,000,000-year peak discharge is equal to approximately 40,000 cfs, and the
500,000-year peak discharge is equal to approximately 37,500 cfs.
7. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Using the flood peaks simulated with the more conservative parameters recommended in Review
of Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref. 2.2.17), a flood hazard curve (Figure 10) was developed.
The analysis presented in Section 6 demonstrates that the exceedance probability of the PMP is
less than 1.43 x i0, and the exceedance probability of the PMF is less than 1.0997 x 10 -9. This
calculation uses the same procedure for deriving the PMP values and employs the same HEC-1
hydrologic model as existing BSC flood analyses (Preliminary Hydrologic Engineering Studies
for the North Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref 2.2.5), Hydrologic Engineering Studies for the North
Portal Pad and Vicinity (Ref 2.2.6), and Yucca Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis
(Ref 2.2.10)). However, this analysis used more conservative input parameters, as
recommended in Review of Yucca Mountain PMF Studies (Ref 2.2.17). These more
conservative parameters are shown to yield as much as 29% higher runoff volume than those
derived using the parameter setup from the previous flood analyses. Nevertheless, the
1,000,000-year peak (exceedance probability less than 1 x 10 -6) discharge of approximately
40,000 cfs is less than the minimum design capacity of 55,000 cfs provided in the Yucca
Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis (Ref 2.2.10). Therefore, this analysis is
deemed to be sufficient to demonstrate that flood event sequences may be excluded from further

the Yucca Mountain Project Drainage Report and Analysis (Ref. 2.2.10) satisfies the
probabilistic criteria of ANSI/ANS 2.8 (American National Standard for Determining Design
Basis Flooding at Power Reactor Sites (Ref 2.2.1)).
