ArcGIS, an industry standard software package for large scale geospatial analysis, was developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). ESRI does not provide access or distribute the source code to the public or other developers without proper licensing. Alternatively, QGIS is an independently developed software that utilizes contributions from multiple sources including non-governmental organizations and academic research. QGIS is also widely used in the industry and academia for large scale geospatial analysis. | ArcGIS, an industry standard software package for large scale geospatial analysis, was developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI).

6.2 Previous PMP development for Tennessee Valley sub-basins was based on information published by the National Weather Service specifically for the Tennessee Valley watershed (References 2.1 and 2.2). Since the data and analysis methods used for both of these publications were over 30-years old, an updated study of the PMP specifically for the Tennessee Valley using all data available to date was commissioned (Reference 2.3). This analysis produced an ArcGIS software tool to generate gridded PMP depths for a range of storm types and durations. The tool generated gridded PMP depth data that was then processed to produce weighted average PMP depths over the Tennessee Valley Authority project sub-basins. A detailed description of this process is presented in Appendix A. An additional check of the ArcGIS software function using comparable software (QGIS) was also performed in Appendix A. | 6.2 Previous PMP development for Tennessee Valley sub-basins was based on information published by the National Weather Service specifically for the Tennessee Valley watershed (References 2.1 and 2.2).

Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation | Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Development Preparer SNH Checker EEK QA-DE-01-F07, Rev 1 6.3 Storm types included in the PMP data were based on information provided in Reference 2.3. | ||
General and Tropical event type data were calculated for all events. As specified in Reference 2.3, the local type event is only applicable to total watershed areas of approximately 500 square miles. Since no variance is specified, local event type data for total watershed areas up to 500 square miles were reviewed. The Local event type was analyzed by determining the gridded point depth-duration data for all points within the TVA watershed for a 500 square mile event. The Local event type rainfall depths for the upper limit of 500 square-miles provides a bounding condition that can be used to evaluate the possibility of the local storm types controlling at projects across the TVA watershed. | General and Tropical event type data were calculated for all events.

Review of Reference 2.3 indicates that the depth-area-duration data developed represent rainfall volume bounding conditions but do not identify all possible PMP event orientations that could occur. This means that a smaller (i.e. heavier rainfall) PMP event could be embedded inside a larger area event as long as the larger event PMP volume is not exceeded. | Review of Reference 2.3 indicates that the depth-area-duration data developed represent rainfall volume bounding conditions but do not identify all possible PMP event orientations that could occur. This means that a smaller (i.e. heavier rainfall) PMP event could be embedded inside a larger area event as long as the larger event PMP volume is not exceeded. | ||
As a result, it would be possible to have a smaller embedded PMP event that would challenge an upstream project while the overall PMP event would not. | As a result, it would be possible to have a smaller embedded PMP event that would challenge an upstream project while the overall PMP event would not. | ||
Therefore, rainfall data sets developed in this calculation are based on analysis of watersheds above and between modeled TVA projects. In order to adequately track the resulting large number of data sets, Project IDs were assigned to identify the event limits and are shown in Table 6.3. | Therefore, rainfall data sets developed in this calculation are based on analysis of watersheds above and between modeled TVA projects.

6.4 Project PMP events anticipated to be required for subsequent PMF determinations and those recommended in Reference 2.27 based on total project drainage area were reviewed, judged appropriate for use and are shown in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d. Smaller project PMP events were included to allow evaluation of project overtopping and failure potential. Event rainfalls were calculated both to provide PMP depths over an entire project watershed as well as PMP depths concentrated over postulated critical watersheds between projects to allow evaluation of project overtopping potential and flood storage effects. The PMP events developed and the naming convention used are presented Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d. PMP data were produced and a storm database file for each of the Local, Tropical and General storm types were developed for use in subsequent calculations. A generalized overview of the PMP depth data generation process is provided in Attachment 1 with further descriptions detailed in Appendix A. | |||

Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation | Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Development Preparer SNH Checker EEK QA-DE-01-F07, Rev 1 6.5 Simplification of the Rain-On-Reservoir (ROR) inflow component by utilization of the sub-basin area-weighted PMP depths for the ROR component as compared to each sub-basin and affiliated reservoir(s) having unique PMP depth-duration data was reviewed. The surface area of reservoirs within the Tennessee Valley watershed above Wheeler Dam is minimal with respect to the total watershed area. Consequently, small changes in the ROR inflow component will have minor impacts on the total inflow volume within each sub-basin. The typical location of reservoirs within the more sheltered, lower lying areas of a watershed combined with orographic effects generally leads to reduced PMP rainfall depths over the reservoir in comparison to the remaining watershed. | ||
Comparison of the two methodologies is described in Section 6.6 of Appendix A. Analysis, included as Appendix B, calculated differences in PMP depth between the simplified approach and the reservoir area specific PMP for all three storm types applied to the watersheds above Watts Bar, Chickamauga and Wheeler. Analysis results are summarized below in Table 6.5 with negative values indicating that the simplified approach produces a higher (i.e. more conservative) PMP depth. All differences between the two ROR development methodologies were less than one-hundredth of an inch of PMP volume for the total watersheds reviewed. The analysis shows negligible differences in watershed applied PMP volume between the calculation of ROR using sub-basin averaged rainfall versus using unique GIS reservoir area rainfall. Therefore, it is appropriate for subsequent calculations to utilize the simplified approach and apply sub-basin average PMP depths during development of the ROR inflow component. | Comparison of the two methodologies is described in Section 6.6 of Appendix A.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations | Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.3 The AWA PMP tool computes point depth-duration values for defined grid points spaced at 90 arc-second (0.025 decimal degree) intervals across the Tennessee Valley watershed above Kentucky Dam as well as the Great Falls project basin. The PMP point values are determined for General, Tropical and Local type events over the TVA project sub-basins for durations specified by the user from a list. A number of automation routines were developed that utilize both the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Python programming language to run the PMP evaluation tool and perform subsequent ArcGIS processing to produce weighted average PMP depths over project sub-basins throughout the Tennessee Valley. The weighted average PMP depths computed within ArcGIS were compared to values calculated in QGIS to ensure that the ArcGIS software platform was operating correctly and with the required degree of precision. A template Microsoft Excel workbook was developed to execute the PMP evaluation tool, write a project PMP specific Python script for ArcGIS processing, execution of Python script and retrieval/storage of ArcGIS computed weighted average depths. A separate Python script was developed to allow GIS processing of the gridded precipitation data within the QGIS software environment. A flow chart of the ArcGIS automation and general user directions describing the required directory structure, naming conventions and inputs for the automations are described in Appendix A-C. The ArcGIS spatial analyses performed and descriptions of each automation routine are provided below. | ||
6.3.1 | 6.3.1 The template Excel file (Appendix A-D) is required to be named according to the event designation for each PMP event detailed in Tables 6.4a and 6.4b of the parent calculation. | ||
The development of the project PMP specific Python script requires an input text file to identify the sub-basins within each PMP event area as noted in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d of the parent calculation. Once the workbook has been copied to the working directory of the users choice and renamed according to the PMP event designator, the sub-basins within the PMP event area of interest can be input by the user under the column header Primary Sub-basins in column B of the Inputs tab of the Excel workbook. | The development of the project PMP specific Python script requires an input text file to identify the sub-basins within each PMP event area as noted in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d of the parent calculation.

Following insertion of each sub-basin within the PMP area, a VBA macro linked to the button labeled Create Python Input File can be executed. A text file is created that identifies the number and IDs of the sub-basins within the project PMP area. A line-by-line description of the Excel macro to produce the Python input file can be seen in Appendix A-E. | Following insertion of each sub-basin within the PMP area, a VBA macro linked to the button labeled Create Python Input File can be executed.

A line-by-line description of the Excel macro to produce the Python input file can be seen in Appendix A-E. | ||
6.3.2 | 6.3.2 Additional input in the form of a base Python script is required before the PMP event specific Python script can be developed via an Excel VBA macro. The base Python script includes all the necessary functionality for execution of the AWA tool and ArcGIS spatial processing of rainfall data but requires modifications dependent on the specific PMP event and user options. The base ArcGIS Python script is included as Appendix A-F. A line-by-line description of the base Python script is included in Appendix A-E and a summary of GIS processing steps are detailed below. | ||
6.3.2.1 The sub-basins within the PMP area are read from the input text file and extracted from the base sub-basins shapefile (Reference/Section 4.2) to produce an event specific shapefile with only those sub-basins of interest. The resulting shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_Final.shp with the XXX corresponding to the PMP event designator. | 6.3.2.1 The sub-basins within the PMP area are read from the input text file and extracted from the base sub-basins shapefile (Reference/Section 4.2) to produce an event specific shapefile with only those sub-basins of interest.

The resulting dissolved shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_Dissolved.shp with the XXX corresponding to the PMP event designator. The computed area in square-miles is entered into the PMP evaluation tool interface to define the PMP area utilized during DAD table lookups. The remaining storm type and duration selections are entered based on user responses during creation of event specific PMP Python script as detailed below in Section 6.3.3. | ||
6.3.2.3 The resulting gridded point PMP data from the PMP evaluation tool for the TVA watershed above Kentucky Dam are trimmed to within 15,000 feet of the shapefile created as described in Section 6.3.2.1 to reduce subsequent spatial processing time but still provide adequate point coverage for TIN creation.

The resulting trimmed point data shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_X_Points_Final.shp where XXX corresponds to the PMP event designator and X is either G, T or L corresponding to the General, Tropical and Local storm types, respectively. | ||
6.3.2.4 The trimmed gridded point PMP data was then utilized to create an individual Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) for each duration and storm type utilizing the depth as the height field from the gridded point data for the TIN. The resulting TINs are then processed with the ArcGIS polygon volume tool to compute a total volume above each sub-basin. Individual sub-basin average rainfall depths are computed by dividing the volume of precipitation over each sub-basin by the sub-basin square footage to return average depth in inches. | 6.3.2.4 The trimmed gridded point PMP data was then utilized to create an individual Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) for each duration and storm type utilizing the depth as the height field from the gridded point data for the TIN.

6.4 | 6.4 The ArcGIS spatial analysis and computations were checked with alternate software as they did not utilize NQA dedicated software. Confirmation of the ArcGIS analysis and computations following execution of the PMP evaluation tool was provided by direct comparison of computed sub-basin average depths for each storm type and duration for all PMP events with values developed in an alternate methodology that utilized QGIS. A python script was developed to provide sub-basin average PMP depths resulting from the PMP evaluation tool gridded depth data output and is included as Appendix A-G. A line-by-line description of the Python script is included in Appendix A-E and a summary of processing steps are detailed below. | ||
6.4.1 | 6.4.1 The QGIS Python script requires a number of inputs from the user to include the base sub-basins shapefile (Appendix A-A), the Local, General and Tropical gridded point output file from the PMP evaluation tool and the processing directory of user choice. The user also is given the option to select by checkmark whether to evaluate each of the three storm types. | ||
6.4.2 | 6.4.2 Following entry of required inputs, the script then creates a raster file with the value of each cell equating to the PMP depth for a given storm type and duration at a given location. | ||
The raster of PMP depths across the Tennessee Valley is created to provide a pixel size equivalent to the 90 arc-second spacing of the PMP evaluation tool. The final algorithm utilized to compute the spatial statistics of the PMP depth-data determines an average value of raster cells with their centroid in each sub-basin. The coarse spacing of the raster cell centroids and the irregular sub-basin shapes produce instances in which the raster centroids are outside of the basin yet still account for some of the coverage over the sub-basin. Increased spatial coverage and accuracy of spatial statistics is provided by resampling to a finer resolution by use of a bilinear interpolation yielding final raster datasets with cell sizes reduced by an order of magnitude. The final algorithm to compute the sub-basin average PMP event depths creates a sub-basin shapefile for each storm type and duration with the final sub-basin average weighted PMP event depths within the attribute table. The final sub-basin average weighted PMP event depths for each duration can then be extracted for comparison to the depth-duration data computed in ArcGIS. | The raster of PMP depths across the Tennessee Valley is created to provide a pixel size equivalent to the 90 arc-second spacing of the PMP evaluation tool.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations | Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.5 The PMP evaluation Tool produces a point grid of PMP depth-duration data that is utilized to create TINs and raster surfaces for determination of weighted average sub-basin depths within ArcGIS and QGIS, respectively. Analysis of available depth-duration data points showed multiple sub-basin boundary locations without data points outside of the sub-basin boundary. The lack of data points outside of the sub-basin boundary leads to incomplete coverage and/or incorrect interpolations of resulting TIN and raster files used in the PMP sub-basin average depth computations. Sub-basins in the TVA watershed above Wheeler Dam without sufficient depth-duration coverage are shown below in Table 6.5.1. The total area without coverage is less than two-hundredths of a square-mile; therefore, the small portions of the watershed without coverage have a minor impact on the final computed sub-basin average depths. The analysis of raster coverage for the TVA sub-basins above Wheeler Dam, including GIS processing steps, is included as Appendix A-H. | ||

A Guntersville Reservoir Area Included B Wheeler Reservoir Area Included The full data set output from the PMP evaluation tool was utilized to create the raster surfaces within QGIS, but due to processing time the ArcGIS process selects only those output data points within 15,000 feet of the sub-basins of interest to be utilized during TIN creation. The loss of potential triangulation points and the inherent TIN creation process leads to larger sub-basin areas without sufficient PMP depth data coverage. Although the TIN and volume analyses performed in ArcGIS have reduced coverage it is minimal and has an insignificant impact on the final computed sub-basin average depths. This assertion is further substantiated by equivalent results between the two software platforms and methodologies as shown below in Table 6.5.2 with maximum absolute percent differences of less than one percent. The alternate QGIS check confirms accurate ArcGIS operation in addition to the confirmation of appropriate methodologies by computing sub-basin average depths with the use of raster files and spatial grid statistics as compared to the use of TIN files and volume analyses as performed in ArcGIS. The full analysis of PMP event depth-duration data between the software platforms is included as Appendix A-I. Review of computed PMP depths across the ArcGIS and QGIS platforms identified a project PMP depth above Chatuge as an outlier. | |||
Analysis indicated areas around the sub-basin boundary with zero depth as the PMP points from the AWA tool did not provide adequate coverage during TIN creation for the single sub-basin. PMP depths utilized for Chatuge are based on the QGIS analysis to eliminate results without the complete PMP coverage. | Analysis indicated areas around the sub-basin boundary with zero depth as the PMP points from the AWA tool did not provide adequate coverage during TIN creation for the single sub-basin.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations | Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.6 Area-weighted average PMP rainfall depth-duration data were computed for the reservoirs noted below in Table 6.6.1 for the 500 square-mile limit Local event in addition to the Tropical and General type PMP events above Wheeler Dam for analysis within the parent calculation. The shapefile for Watts Bar reservoir was subdivided based on sub-basin boundaries to provide the portion of Watts Bar reservoir within each sub-basin. Reservoir GIS shapefiles from Appendix A-2 of Reference 2.26 were input into ArcGIS and the TINs developed for the General, Tropical and Local event types (Section 6.3.2.4 and 6.5) were then utilized to compute the reservoir average PMP depth by use of the ArcGIS polygon volume tool.

Barge Affidavit cc: See Page 3 Response to NRC IQVB Request for Additional Information CNL-20-032 E1-1 of 4 NRC Introduction In a letter dated January 14, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML20016A396), as supplemented by a letter dated February 18, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20049H184), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Sequoyah Nuclear Plant related to a new hydrologic analysis. The NRC staff has reviewed the information in the submittals and has determined that additional information is needed in order for the NRC staff to complete its review.
RAI-IQVB-1 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.34(b)(6)(ii) requires information to be provided regarding the managerial and administrative controls to be used to assure safe operation, including a discussion of how applicable requirements within Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, are satisfied. In the February 18, 2020, Supplement TVA stated, in part, The dedication of the [Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP)] Evaluation Tool was performed under the Barge Design Solutions (Barge) Nuclear Quality Assurance (QA) program...The Barge QA program has been audited and accepted by TVA and is on the TVA Acceptable Supplier List (ASL)...While the ArcGIS and [Quantum GIS (QGIS)] evaluation tools were not dedicated, the calculations performed using these tools were checked by either hand calculations or using alternative software in accordance with Barge procedures for design calculations and computer program applications, under the Barge QA program, which complies with NQA-1 Part II Subpart 2.7 Paragraph 202 and is consistent with similar TVA process control procedures under the TVA QA Program. The ArcGIS software functions that are outside of the functions included in the PMP Evaluation Tool
[Software Dedication Report (SDR)], as noted above, were checked using QGIS as the alternate software in accordance with NQA-1 Part II Subpart 2.7 Paragraph 202 under the Barge QA Program.
In accordance with NQA-1-2008 and the 2009 Addenda, Part II, Subpart 2.7, Paragraph 202, The appropriate software engineering elements, described in para. 202 of this Subpart, shall define the control points and associated reviews. Reviews of software shall ensure compliance with the approved software design requirements...When review alone is not adequate to determine if requirements are met, alternate calculations shall be used, or tests shall be developed and integrated into the appropriate activities of the software development cycle.
The NRC staff reviewed the supplemental information provided by TVA and finds that the following additional information is needed to determine whether the procurement and use of the ArcGIS and QGIS evaluation tools are appropriately controlled under TVAs QA program in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
Specifically, the NRC staff requests TVA to provide the following:
a) Information to clarify how hand calculations are used to verify the outputs of any of the tools used, including the PMP Evaluation Tool, ArcGIS and QGIS.
CNL-20-032 E1-2 of 5 b) For cases where the output of one software tool (e.g., QGIS) is used to verify the output of another software tool (ArcGIS), information to demonstrate that these tools are sufficiently diverse (e.g., use of different software developers, different calculation methods, different software algorithms, different programming languages used to develop the tools) such that the potential for these tools to produce the same erroneous outputs are significantly reduced.
c) Information supporting the dedication of the PMP Evaluation Tool performed by Barge Design Solutions, including the dedication plan, the critical characteristics of the tool, the acceptance methods used, and documents (e.g., PMP Evaluation Tool SDR) demonstrating that commercial grade dedication was implemented adequately.
TVA Response to NRC RAI Quality Assurance Vendor Inspection Branch (IQVB)-1 Part a:
In Reference 1, TVA provided general information in regard to the methodologies used to perform alternate calculations. This general information stated that hand calculations could be used as an alternate calculation. However, in the development of the basin average PMP depths, hand calculations were not used to check the results of the PMP Evaluation tool or the ArcGIS and the QGIS tools outside of the PMP Evaluation Tool.
Calculations made within ArcGIS outside of the PMP Evaluation Tool were checked via alternate methodologies within QGIS by comparison of the average basin rainfall depth determined by the two different GIS methodologies as described in the gridded PMP development calculation (Enclosure 3). The Microsoft Excel workbook and those portions of the Python scripting outside the PMP Evaluation tool were checked and design verified under the Barge QA program. Detailed descriptions of the Microsoft Excel workbook and Python scripting are provided in Appendix A of Enclosure 3.
The PMP Evaluation Tool has been dedicated utilizing the Barge Nuclear QA program through rigorous testing and research for features of the software by completion of a series of test cases. These results along with the limitation of the PMP Evaluation Tool software are documented in the SDR (Enclosure 2). Therefore, Barge concluded the PMP Evaluation Tool software is dedicated and may be used as pre-verified software.

CNL-20-032 E1-4 of 5 TVA Response to NRC RAI IQVB-1 Part b:
The dedicated PMP Evaluation tool generated gridded precipitation shapefile data. The gridded precipitation shapefile was used to generate sub-basin average PMP depths for use in the subsequent hydrologic analysis. Sub-basin average PMP depths computed in ArcGIS were verified using independently developed QGIS software as an alternate calculation method.
ArcGIS, an industry standard software package for large scale geospatial analysis, was developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI). ESRI does not provide access or distribute the source code to the public or other developers without proper licensing. Alternatively, QGIS is an independently developed software that utilizes contributions from multiple sources including non-governmental organizations and academic research. QGIS is also widely used in the industry and academia for large scale geospatial analysis.
The sub-basin average rainfall depths used for the PMP analysis were computed using two different calculation methods applied within the ArcGIS and QGIS software packages. In ESRIs ArcGIS, the gridded shapefile data was utilized to create a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) surface. The resulting TIN surface was processed using a polygon volume tool to compute sub-basin average PMP depths. The QGIS alternate methodology utilized the nearest neighbor geoprocessing tool to generate a raster surface. A grid statistics tool within QGIS was utilized to compute the sub-basin average PMP depths. The nearest neighbor and grid statistics geoprocessing tools within QGIS were originally part of the SAGA GIS software which was developed by the Department of Physical Geography at the University of Gttingen, Germany.
Because ArcGIS and QGIS tools utilize different software developers, different calculation methods, and different software algorithms, the potential for the tools to produce the same erroneous outputs are significantly reduced. These tools are sufficiently diverse such that comparison of the outputs provides an alternate calculation for verifying the computer program results for each application as required by Barge QA program procedures.
TVA Response to NRC RAI IQVB-1 Part c:
The PMP Evaluation Tool has been dedicated utilizing the Barge Nuclear QA program through testing and research for features of the software by completion of a series of test cases. The PMP Evaluation Tool SDR (Enclosure 2) details the Dedication Plan (Attachment 4 to Enclosure 2), critical characteristics of the tool (Section 4 to ), and acceptance methods used (Attachment 4 to Enclosure 2). The PMP Evaluation Tool SDR demonstrates the software dedication was implemented adequately under the Barge Design Solutions QA Program.
RAI-IQVB-2 10 CFR Part 21 defines the term dedication, in part as, an acceptance process undertaken to provide reasonable assurance that a commercial grade item to be used as a basic component will perform its intended safety and, in this respect deemed equivalent to an item designed and manufactured under a 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B quality assurance program. In all cases, the dedication process must be conducted in CNL-20-032 E1-5 of 5 accordance with applicable provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Criterion III, Design Control of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, requires, in part, that Measures shall also be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components... Design changes, including field changes, shall be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and be approved by the organization that performed the original design unless the applicant designates another responsible organization. In Attachment A to LAR to, TVA stated in part, that The [Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP)
Evaluation] Tool was used, as provided, as part of commercial grade dedication, with the following minor modifications. This attachment identified four modifications made to PMP Evaluation Tool and the rationale for making these modifications.
The NRC staff evaluated the information presented by TVA regarding these modifications to the previous dedicated PMP Evaluation Tool and finds that additional information is needed to support the staffs safety evaluation. Specifically, the NRC staff requests that TVA provide information to demonstrate that the minor modifications made to the PMP Evaluation Tool do not invalidate the results of the dedication of this tool and that these modifications were conducted under TVAs quality assurance program, as required by Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
In Attachment A to Enclosure 5 of Reference 2, TVA stated in part, The [Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Evaluation] tool was used, as provided, as part of the software dedication, with the following minor modifications.
TVA clarifies the sentence structure as follows:
The [Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Evaluation] tool was used, as provided, as part of the software dedication, with the following minor modifications as part of the software dedication.
The minor modifications to the PMP Evaluation Tool discussed in Attachment A to of Reference 2 are addressed in Enclosure 2 under the Barge QA program as required by Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Therefore, the minor modifications made to the PMP Evaluation Tool do not invalidate the results of the dedication of this tool and that these modifications were conducted under TVAs QA program, as required by Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

6.2 Previous PMP development for Tennessee Valley sub-basins was based on information published by the National Weather Service specifically for the Tennessee Valley watershed (References 2.1 and 2.2). Since the data and analysis methods used for both of these publications were over 30-years old, an updated study of the PMP specifically for the Tennessee Valley using all data available to date was commissioned (Reference 2.3). This analysis produced an ArcGIS software tool to generate gridded PMP depths for a range of storm types and durations. The tool generated gridded PMP depth data that was then processed to produce weighted average PMP depths over the Tennessee Valley Authority project sub-basins. A detailed description of this process is presented in Appendix A. An additional check of the ArcGIS software function using comparable software (QGIS) was also performed in Appendix A.

Title:
Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Development Preparer SNH Checker EEK QA-DE-01-F07, Rev 1 6.3 Storm types included in the PMP data were based on information provided in Reference 2.3.
General and Tropical event type data were calculated for all events. As specified in Reference 2.3, the local type event is only applicable to total watershed areas of approximately 500 square miles. Since no variance is specified, local event type data for total watershed areas up to 500 square miles were reviewed. The Local event type was analyzed by determining the gridded point depth-duration data for all points within the TVA watershed for a 500 square mile event. The Local event type rainfall depths for the upper limit of 500 square-miles provides a bounding condition that can be used to evaluate the possibility of the local storm types controlling at projects across the TVA watershed.
Review of Reference 2.3 indicates that the depth-area-duration data developed represent rainfall volume bounding conditions but do not identify all possible PMP event orientations that could occur. This means that a smaller (i.e. heavier rainfall) PMP event could be embedded inside a larger area event as long as the larger event PMP volume is not exceeded.
As a result, it would be possible to have a smaller embedded PMP event that would challenge an upstream project while the overall PMP event would not.
Therefore, rainfall data sets developed in this calculation are based on analysis of watersheds above and between modeled TVA projects. In order to adequately track the resulting large number of data sets, Project IDs were assigned to identify the event limits and are shown in Table 6.3.
6.4 Project PMP events anticipated to be required for subsequent PMF determinations and those recommended in Reference 2.27 based on total project drainage area were reviewed, judged appropriate for use and are shown in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d. Smaller project PMP events were included to allow evaluation of project overtopping and failure potential. Event rainfalls were calculated both to provide PMP depths over an entire project watershed as well as PMP depths concentrated over postulated critical watersheds between projects to allow evaluation of project overtopping potential and flood storage effects. The PMP events developed and the naming convention used are presented Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d. PMP data were produced and a storm database file for each of the Local, Tropical and General storm types were developed for use in subsequent calculations. A generalized overview of the PMP depth data generation process is provided in Attachment 1 with further descriptions detailed in Appendix A.

Gridded Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) Development Preparer SNH Checker EEK QA-DE-01-F07, Rev 1 6.5 Simplification of the Rain-On-Reservoir (ROR) inflow component by utilization of the sub-basin area-weighted PMP depths for the ROR component as compared to each sub-basin and affiliated reservoir(s) having unique PMP depth-duration data was reviewed. The surface area of reservoirs within the Tennessee Valley watershed above Wheeler Dam is minimal with respect to the total watershed area. Consequently, small changes in the ROR inflow component will have minor impacts on the total inflow volume within each sub-basin. The typical location of reservoirs within the more sheltered, lower lying areas of a watershed combined with orographic effects generally leads to reduced PMP rainfall depths over the reservoir in comparison to the remaining watershed.
Comparison of the two methodologies is described in Section 6.6 of Appendix A. Analysis, included as Appendix B, calculated differences in PMP depth between the simplified approach and the reservoir area specific PMP for all three storm types applied to the watersheds above Watts Bar, Chickamauga and Wheeler. Analysis results are summarized below in Table 6.5 with negative values indicating that the simplified approach produces a higher (i.e. more conservative) PMP depth. All differences between the two ROR development methodologies were less than one-hundredth of an inch of PMP volume for the total watersheds reviewed. The analysis shows negligible differences in watershed applied PMP volume between the calculation of ROR using sub-basin averaged rainfall versus using unique GIS reservoir area rainfall. Therefore, it is appropriate for subsequent calculations to utilize the simplified approach and apply sub-basin average PMP depths during development of the ROR inflow component.
7.0 Summary of Results 7.1 A database of PMP event depths as described in Section 6.4 was developed for each of the three storm types: General, Local and Tropical. Due to the large data set, the results contained in the database are adopted by reference.
7.2 The following Tables 7.2a, 7.2b, 7.2c, 7.2d, 7.2e, 7.2f and 7.2g show the cumulative PMP Event watershed average rainfall depths for the general and tropical type events at the specified durations as developed in Appendix A.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.3 The AWA PMP tool computes point depth-duration values for defined grid points spaced at 90 arc-second (0.025 decimal degree) intervals across the Tennessee Valley watershed above Kentucky Dam as well as the Great Falls project basin. The PMP point values are determined for General, Tropical and Local type events over the TVA project sub-basins for durations specified by the user from a list. A number of automation routines were developed that utilize both the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and Python programming language to run the PMP evaluation tool and perform subsequent ArcGIS processing to produce weighted average PMP depths over project sub-basins throughout the Tennessee Valley. The weighted average PMP depths computed within ArcGIS were compared to values calculated in QGIS to ensure that the ArcGIS software platform was operating correctly and with the required degree of precision. A template Microsoft Excel workbook was developed to execute the PMP evaluation tool, write a project PMP specific Python script for ArcGIS processing, execution of Python script and retrieval/storage of ArcGIS computed weighted average depths. A separate Python script was developed to allow GIS processing of the gridded precipitation data within the QGIS software environment. A flow chart of the ArcGIS automation and general user directions describing the required directory structure, naming conventions and inputs for the automations are described in Appendix A-C. The ArcGIS spatial analyses performed and descriptions of each automation routine are provided below.
6.3.1 The template Excel file (Appendix A-D) is required to be named according to the event designation for each PMP event detailed in Tables 6.4a and 6.4b of the parent calculation.
The development of the project PMP specific Python script requires an input text file to identify the sub-basins within each PMP event area as noted in Tables 6.4a, 6.4b, 6.4c and 6.4d of the parent calculation. Once the workbook has been copied to the working directory of the users choice and renamed according to the PMP event designator, the sub-basins within the PMP event area of interest can be input by the user under the column header Primary Sub-basins in column B of the Inputs tab of the Excel workbook.
Following insertion of each sub-basin within the PMP area, a VBA macro linked to the button labeled Create Python Input File can be executed. A text file is created that identifies the number and IDs of the sub-basins within the project PMP area. A line-by-line description of the Excel macro to produce the Python input file can be seen in Appendix A-E.
6.3.2 Additional input in the form of a base Python script is required before the PMP event specific Python script can be developed via an Excel VBA macro. The base Python script includes all the necessary functionality for execution of the AWA tool and ArcGIS spatial processing of rainfall data but requires modifications dependent on the specific PMP event and user options. The base ArcGIS Python script is included as Appendix A-F. A line-by-line description of the base Python script is included in Appendix A-E and a summary of GIS processing steps are detailed below.
6.3.2.1 The sub-basins within the PMP area are read from the input text file and extracted from the base sub-basins shapefile (Reference/Section 4.2) to produce an event specific shapefile with only those sub-basins of interest. The resulting shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_Final.shp with the XXX corresponding to the PMP event designator.

Title:
Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.3.2.2 The event specific shapefile produced in Section 6.3.2.1 is dissolved into one shape and the PMP event area in square-miles is calculated. The resulting dissolved shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_Dissolved.shp with the XXX corresponding to the PMP event designator. The computed area in square-miles is entered into the PMP evaluation tool interface to define the PMP area utilized during DAD table lookups. The remaining storm type and duration selections are entered based on user responses during creation of event specific PMP Python script as detailed below in Section 6.3.3.
6.3.2.3 The resulting gridded point PMP data from the PMP evaluation tool for the TVA watershed above Kentucky Dam are trimmed to within 15,000 feet of the shapefile created as described in Section 6.3.2.1 to reduce subsequent spatial processing time but still provide adequate point coverage for TIN creation. The resulting trimmed point data shapefile follows the naming convention XXX_X_Points_Final.shp where XXX corresponds to the PMP event designator and X is either G, T or L corresponding to the General, Tropical and Local storm types, respectively.
6.3.2.4 The trimmed gridded point PMP data was then utilized to create an individual Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) for each duration and storm type utilizing the depth as the height field from the gridded point data for the TIN. The resulting TINs are then processed with the ArcGIS polygon volume tool to compute a total volume above each sub-basin. Individual sub-basin average rainfall depths are computed by dividing the volume of precipitation over each sub-basin by the sub-basin square footage to return average depth in inches.

The base Python script is modified based on user responses and logic as detailed in the flow diagram presented below in Figure 6.3 to provide the desired functionality. The temporary scenario script created for the Watts Bar to Norris, Cherokee and Douglas Dams(WB_NOCRDG) storm event required manual modification to account for rounding errors when defining the AWA Tool output geodatabase. Line 139 of the resulting temporary simulation specific script was modified to add a value of 1 to provide the correct AWA tool output geodatabase name. No modifications for remaining storm events were required.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.3.4 The Microsoft Excel macro named Run_AWA_Tool and linked to the button labeled Execute Script is run to open an instance of a Python shell window to allow execution of the previously developed PMP event specific Python script. A line-by-line description of the Excel macro to execute the python script is contained in Appendix A-E.
6.3.5 Execution of the Excel macros and Python script described in Sections 6.3.1 through 6.3.4 produces a final ArcGIS polygon shapefile with an attribute table containing the computed weighted average depth for each sub-basin within the PMP event area. The Excel macro named AverageDepth and linked to the button labeled Get AWA Rainfall Depths from GIS Files opens the.dbf file associated with the final ArcGIS shapefile and extracts the computed sub-basin average depths. The sub-basin average depths for each storm type and duration are stored in a newly created Excel file with the name XXX_GIS_Output.xlsx where XXX is the PMP designator. Additionally, a PMP summary table is prepared in which computed watershed average depths are reported for each duration and storm type.
The sub-basin and total PMP event watershed average depths are stored in the Basin GIS Output and PMP Summary tabs of the Excel file, respectively. A line-by-line description of the Excel macro is contained in Appendix A-E. An additional sub-routine was prepared to format a standard table for reporting the total PMP event watershed average depths.
This sub-routine solely performs administrative formatting tasks consequently a line-by-line description has not been included.
6.4 The ArcGIS spatial analysis and computations were checked with alternate software as they did not utilize NQA dedicated software. Confirmation of the ArcGIS analysis and computations following execution of the PMP evaluation tool was provided by direct comparison of computed sub-basin average depths for each storm type and duration for all PMP events with values developed in an alternate methodology that utilized QGIS. A python script was developed to provide sub-basin average PMP depths resulting from the PMP evaluation tool gridded depth data output and is included as Appendix A-G. A line-by-line description of the Python script is included in Appendix A-E and a summary of processing steps are detailed below.
6.4.1 The QGIS Python script requires a number of inputs from the user to include the base sub-basins shapefile (Appendix A-A), the Local, General and Tropical gridded point output file from the PMP evaluation tool and the processing directory of user choice. The user also is given the option to select by checkmark whether to evaluate each of the three storm types.
6.4.2 Following entry of required inputs, the script then creates a raster file with the value of each cell equating to the PMP depth for a given storm type and duration at a given location.
The raster of PMP depths across the Tennessee Valley is created to provide a pixel size equivalent to the 90 arc-second spacing of the PMP evaluation tool. The final algorithm utilized to compute the spatial statistics of the PMP depth-data determines an average value of raster cells with their centroid in each sub-basin. The coarse spacing of the raster cell centroids and the irregular sub-basin shapes produce instances in which the raster centroids are outside of the basin yet still account for some of the coverage over the sub-basin. Increased spatial coverage and accuracy of spatial statistics is provided by resampling to a finer resolution by use of a bilinear interpolation yielding final raster datasets with cell sizes reduced by an order of magnitude. The final algorithm to compute the sub-basin average PMP event depths creates a sub-basin shapefile for each storm type and duration with the final sub-basin average weighted PMP event depths within the attribute table. The final sub-basin average weighted PMP event depths for each duration can then be extracted for comparison to the depth-duration data computed in ArcGIS.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.5 The PMP evaluation Tool produces a point grid of PMP depth-duration data that is utilized to create TINs and raster surfaces for determination of weighted average sub-basin depths within ArcGIS and QGIS, respectively. Analysis of available depth-duration data points showed multiple sub-basin boundary locations without data points outside of the sub-basin boundary. The lack of data points outside of the sub-basin boundary leads to incomplete coverage and/or incorrect interpolations of resulting TIN and raster files used in the PMP sub-basin average depth computations. Sub-basins in the TVA watershed above Wheeler Dam without sufficient depth-duration coverage are shown below in Table 6.5.1. The total area without coverage is less than two-hundredths of a square-mile; therefore, the small portions of the watershed without coverage have a minor impact on the final computed sub-basin average depths. The analysis of raster coverage for the TVA sub-basins above Wheeler Dam, including GIS processing steps, is included as Appendix A-H.

A Guntersville Reservoir Area Included B Wheeler Reservoir Area Included The full data set output from the PMP evaluation tool was utilized to create the raster surfaces within QGIS, but due to processing time the ArcGIS process selects only those output data points within 15,000 feet of the sub-basins of interest to be utilized during TIN creation. The loss of potential triangulation points and the inherent TIN creation process leads to larger sub-basin areas without sufficient PMP depth data coverage. Although the TIN and volume analyses performed in ArcGIS have reduced coverage it is minimal and has an insignificant impact on the final computed sub-basin average depths. This assertion is further substantiated by equivalent results between the two software platforms and methodologies as shown below in Table 6.5.2 with maximum absolute percent differences of less than one percent. The alternate QGIS check confirms accurate ArcGIS operation in addition to the confirmation of appropriate methodologies by computing sub-basin average depths with the use of raster files and spatial grid statistics as compared to the use of TIN files and volume analyses as performed in ArcGIS. The full analysis of PMP event depth-duration data between the software platforms is included as Appendix A-I. Review of computed PMP depths across the ArcGIS and QGIS platforms identified a project PMP depth above Chatuge as an outlier.
Analysis indicated areas around the sub-basin boundary with zero depth as the PMP points from the AWA tool did not provide adequate coverage during TIN creation for the single sub-basin. PMP depths utilized for Chatuge are based on the QGIS analysis to eliminate results without the complete PMP coverage.
An additional analysis was performed to evaluate the upper limit of the Local storm type by manual implementation of the ArcGIS processing steps detailed in Sections 6.3. The PMP evaluation tool was run such that the PMP event area utilized during DAD table lookups coincided with the 500 square-mile limit of the Local Storm type (Reference 2.23). Following the ArcGIS processing the PMP evaluation tool results were checked with the alternate QGIS software/methodology as described in Section 6.4. Analysis of the Local Storm type at the upper limit of 500 square-miles between the software platforms has been included within Appendix A-I and is presented below in Table 6.5.2.

Appendix A - GIS PMP Event Depth Computations Preparer SNH Checker EEK Form QA-DE-01-07, Rev 1 6.6 Area-weighted average PMP rainfall depth-duration data were computed for the reservoirs noted below in Table 6.6.1 for the 500 square-mile limit Local event in addition to the Tropical and General type PMP events above Wheeler Dam for analysis within the parent calculation. The shapefile for Watts Bar reservoir was subdivided based on sub-basin boundaries to provide the portion of Watts Bar reservoir within each sub-basin. Reservoir GIS shapefiles from Appendix A-2 of Reference 2.26 were input into ArcGIS and the TINs developed for the General, Tropical and Local event types (Section 6.3.2.4 and 6.5) were then utilized to compute the reservoir average PMP depth by use of the ArcGIS polygon volume tool. Computed PMP depth data for the 500 square-mile limit Local event, Tropical event above Wheeler and the General event above Wheeler computed for each reservoir and duration are included on the Reservoir Depths and Watts Bar By Basin Depths tabs of the Microsoft Excel document included as Appendix A-K.
The ArcGIS spatial analysis and computations were checked with alternate software as they did not utilize NQA dedicated software. Confirmation of the ArcGIS analysis was provided by direct comparison of computed reservoir average depths for each storm type and duration with values developed in an alternate methodology that utilized QGIS. The python script described in section 6.4 was employed to provide the average rainfall over each reservoir for the 500 square-mile limit Local event, Tropical event above Wheeler and the General event above Wheeler. Analysis of results between the software platforms showed a maximum absolute percent differences of less than one-quarter of a percent between the two software platforms and methodologies, as shown in the QGIS Check tab of Appendix A-K.

Total PMP event rainfall depths for the Tennessee River sub-basins above Wheeler Dam differed by less than one percent for the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hour0.00139 days <br />0.0333 hours <br />1.984127e-4 weeks <br />4.566e-5 months <br /> durations within the PMP event and storm types analyzed. The sub-basin weighted average depths computed for each PMP event are suitable for use in the parent and subsequent calculations. PMP event depth-duration data for the General, Local and Tropical storm types are included as Appendix A-J.
8.0 Conclusions Computations performed in ArcGIS have been checked by Quantum GIS and any differences are within the precision required. Calculations performed in the development of final PMP sub-basin average depths and their distribution within the Tennessee River sub-basins are suitable for use in subsequent calculations and the parent calculation.
