STANDARD QUALITY CONTROL & INSPECTION PROGRAM FOR HYDRO PROJECTS
1
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.This Standard Quality Control and Inspection Program (QCIP) will be implemented on hydro
projects where it is required: (1) by the FERC or other regulatory agencies; (2) Engineer of Record;
or (3) to ensure permit and environmental compliance. The Manager of Project Engineering,
Supervisor of License Compliance, and the Manager of Construction will be responsible to
determine which projects require implementation of this QCIP and will assign the appropriate
quality control organization and staffing for these designated projects.
2.This Standard Quality Control and Inspection Program (QCIP) has been prepared in compliance
with the following requirements under Title 18, Chapter I, Sub-Chapter B, Part 12, Subpart E,
Section 12.40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and the FERC Engineering Guideline Chapter
VII –Construction Quality Control Inspection Program:
(a) General rule. During any construction, repair, or modification of project works,
including any corrective measures taken pursuant to 18 CFR 12.39 of this part, the
applicant or licensee must maintain any quality control program that may be required by
the FERC Regional Engineer, commensurate with the scope of the work and meeting any
requirements or standards set by the FERC Regional Engineer. If a quality control
program is required, the construction, repair, or modification may not begin until the
FERC Regional Engineer has approved the program.
(b) If the construction, repair, or modification work is performed by a construction
contractor, quality control inspection must be performed by the licensee, the design
engineer, or an independent firm, other than the construction contractor, directly
accountable to the licensee. This paragraph is not intended to prohibit additional quality
control inspections by the construction contractor, or a firm accountable to the
construction contractor, for the construction contractor's purposes.
(c) If the construction, repair, or modification of project works is performed by the
applicant's or licensee's own personnel, the applicant or licensee must provide for
separation of authority within its organization to make certain that the personnel
responsible for quality control inspection are, to the satisfaction of the FERC Regional
Engineer or other authorized Commission representative, independent from the
personnel who are responsible for the construction, repair or modification.
3.The FERC Engineering Guideline Chapter VII, Construction Quality Control Inspection Program ,
defines the following three project categories and QCIP types depending on the complexity of
construction, ownership of the project, and contractual arrangements. A project specific QCIP
should be prepared separately for large and complex projects fitting the FERC definition of
Category 1 and/or QCIP Type C. This Standard QCIP Template is intended for small to medium
size projects meeting the definition of Category 2 and Category 3 construction and QCIP Types A
and B:
•Category 1 - Construction of a major new hydroelectric project that includes a new dam,
powerhouse, spillway, tunnels and appurtenant facilities.
QCIP Type 1A - QCIP by the licensee, design engineer or independent
firm other than the construction contractor.
QCIP Type 1B - QCIP by the licensee who is also the designer and
construction contractor. This could also be a labor-broker construction
contract.
QCIP Type 1C - Turnkey design-build construction. The same firm designs
and constructs the project with some quality control inspection included in
the contract. QCIP by the licensee or independent firm other than the
design-build firm.
Document Accession #: 20240618-5096 Filed Date: 06/18/2024
STANDARD QUALITY CONTROL & INSPECTION PROGRAM FOR HYDRO PROJECTS

• Category 2 - Construction not as large and complex as Category 1. A typical example
would be an addition to an existing structure such as construction of a
powerhouse at an existing dam. QCIPs A, B and C are as described under
Category 1. It is recognized that there have been and will be very large
and complex projects that only involve the construction of a powerhouse at
an existing dam.
• Category 3 - Construction not as large and complex as Category 2. A typical example
would be the modification of an existing structure, such as the installation
of post-tensioned rock anchors in a concrete gravity dam or major
maintenance such as replacing gates or resurfacing a spillway section.
QCIPs A, B and C are as described under Category 1; however, it should
be noted that QCIPs 3A and 3B are more common than 3C.

SECTION 2
ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1.GENERAL
1.1. Title 18, Part 12, Subpart E, Section 12.40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
requires that quality control inspections must be conducted by the licensee, the design
engineer or an independent firm accountable to the licensee, and must not be performed
by a construction contractor or firm accountable to the construction contractor. If the
licensee’s personnel are performing the construction work, the licensee must provide for
separation of authority between construction personnel and quality control personnel.
1.2. The attached organization chart (Appendix C) delineates the independent relationship and
separation between the construction personnel and the quality control inspection personnel
for Category 2 and 3 construction projects with Type A and B licensee, constructor, and
engineer/designer relationships, as defined in the FERC Engineering Guideline Chapter 7 .
This organization chart complies with Section 12.40(c) of the CFR. Descriptions of the
respective responsibilities, authorities, and lines of communication are provided below.
The project organization and personnel assignment for each individual project may be
modified and approved by the Manager of Project Engineering based on the needs and
complexity of the individual project. At a minimum, the organization for small projects
should include an Engineer-of-Record, a Project Manager, a Field Inspector, and a
Construction Foreman.
2.ROLES
The following are key personnel on a typical hydro project that are responsible for the construction
quality control and inspection.
2.1. Owner/FERC Licensee
PG&E is the owner and licensee of FERC licensed hydroelectric projects. PG&E is responsible for
implementing adequate quality control to ensure that construction is performed in a safe manner
and in compliance with the FERC license conditions, agency permits, environmental requirements,
and the approved drawings and specifications. For construction work by an outside contractor,
PG&E will also manage the construction contract and progress; monitoring and enforcing the
contractor’s compliance with the contract terms and conditions. PG&E is responsible for interaction
with FERC, DSOD, RWQCB, USDA-FS, USFW, the appropriate resource agencies, and the public
during construction.
PG&E has the authority to stop work in progress or reject any work which , in PG&E’s view, is not
in compliance with the drawings, specifications, applicable codes and regulations, or potentially
damaging to the environment. PG&E will have the right to access the contractor’s or any
subcontractor’s records, facilities or work sites at any time to conduct its own independent
inspection, tests, or examination.
The FERC requires PG&E, the licensee, to provide the following three signed and notarized
certifications at the completion of construction: (1) Certification by Licensee attesting that the
construction fulfills the design intent and was constructed in accordance with the plans and
specifications reviewed by FERC; (2) Certification by Design Engineer attesting that the
construction was in accordance with the design intent; and (3) Certification by PG&E’s Quality
Control Manager/Lead attesting that results from the inspection and testing program result in the
conclusion that the project was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications. The
FERC also requires PG&E, the Licensee, to submit the final as-built drawings of the constructed
project within 90 days after completion of construction.
2.2. Constructor

6.4.4. Questions on the engineering design or specification, minor issues such as
clarification on drawings and details may be addressed with a response to the
RFI by the Engineer-of-Record.
6.4.5. A formal design change by the Engineer-of-Record is needed for situations that
involve change in the design criteria, scope of construction, drawings and
specifications.
6.4.6. The Project Manager will maintain a log for tracking the status of the RFIs and to
ensure that the specific subject questions from the RFI are resolved in a timely
manner.
6.5. Design Change Notification (DCN) is used to document significant design changes
subsequent to issuance of the design drawings. A DCN is needed when a change or
revision to the approved scope, drawings or specification is needed, with the exception of
minor dimensional or typographic corrections, or field condition changes that require
additional engineering evaluation to verify the original design is still adequate. DCNs
from construction will be documented and processed with the following procedure:
6.5.1. A DCN can initiate from the RFI or NCR process, or directly from the EOR on an
as-needed basis. A DCN can only be issued and approved by the EOR. The
approved DCN and associated revised drawings and specification will become
the basis of construction and inspection for the changed condition.
6.5.2. The EOR will develop resolution to the Design Change in coordination with the
Facilities Safety Engineer, the Construction Foreman, and the Project Manager.
If necessary, the EOR will revise the specification and design drawings to reflect
the design changes. The Facilities Safety Engineer and License Compliance
Lead will coordinate with the appropriate regulatory agencies for design and/or
mitigation plan changes, or other approvals as applicable. Changes that impact
the project cost, schedule or performance of the complete work will require the
Project Manager approval.
6.5.3. Once the EOR, Facilities Safety Engineer, Project Manager and the regulatory
agencies approve the Design Change, where applicable, the Field Inspector will
coordinate with the Construction Foreman to implement the approved Design
Change.
6.5.4. The Field Inspectors will incorporate the Design Change in their inspection.
6.5.5. All design changes will be reflected in as-built drawings and specifications.

PRE-JOB PLANNING TEMPLATE
PROJECT NAME Bucks Creek 1103 Fire Rebuild Project
SCOPE OF WORK
PG&E proposes to underground approximately 3.9 miles of the electric distribution
facilities on the Bucks Creek 1103 12 kV Line. The power line is located within State
Highway Route 70 corridor between post mile 1.3 to 5.2, between Cresta Dam to Bucks
Creek Powerhouse along the North Fork Feather River (Plumas County). The PG&E
electric facilities will consist of underground conduit for electric distribution lines,
associated boxes and transformers, riser poles, and protection features for above
ground facilities. To underground these facilities, PG&E will use a combination of
trenching and boring along the river side of SR 70.
Only small portions of this project occur within the limits of the FERC Project 1962
boundary. Approximately 957 LF of trenching is proposed within the FERC boundary
adjacent to the Rock Creek Powerhouse, within the Hwy 70 corridor. Additionally, at the
southern end of the project, less than 100 LF of service trenching will be performed
within the FERC boundary near Cresta Dam. The project will make one 4” core drill in
the concrete sidewall of the Cresta Dam intake building to run conduit from the electric
meter location to switchgear panel. This QCIP document is only intended to cover the
scope of work within the FERC boundaries.

be introduced into the stream or lake. Constructor shall provide sump pumps, temporary water
treatment plants, settling basin and other facilities with adequate capacity for treatment and removal
of silt or other suspended substance in any seepage or drainage resulting from excavation or other
construction activities to meet the required water quality and turbidity standards before discharging
into the lake.
3.Constructor shall periodically inspect earthwork to detect any evidence of the start of erosion and
shall apply corrective measures as necessary.
4.Constructor shall implement mechanical and vegetative erosion control measures, where
applicable. Remedial measures for controlling potential erosion in areas affected by the proposed
construction activities and unseasonable storms, including thunderstorm s, are described below.
5.Constructor shall install mechanical erosion control measures, including mulching, hay bale
checks, erosion control fabric, diversion ditches or berms, silt fencing and drainage devices, where
appropriate, along the borrow areas, the excavation limits of t he buttress foundation, and the
disposal areas with heavy earth excavation, hauling and placement activities.
6.Constructor shall protect open excavations and stockpiled earth materials with polyethylene sheets
or other waterproof coverings and construct berms or drainage trenches around such stockpiles to
prevent erosion.
7.Trapping sediment may be accomplished with silt fencing, hay bales, se dimentation basins, and
wattles. Trapping may be used to prevent sedimentation into any water course or drainage
channel, roadway, sensitive areas or adjacent property.
8.Berming, diversion ditches, sand bags and piping can be used to divert water to safe areas. Areas
not susceptible to erosion include bedrock channels or outcropping, heavily vegetated areas
receiving low impact water or energy dissipating rocked areas. S uch areas should be well-drained.
Diverting may be used along access roads, canal access pads and above slopes susceptible to
erosion.
9.Disturbed loose, erosional soil will be mulched with cereal straw. Straw may be rice, barley or oats
and will be as specified by the Forest Service when on National Forest properties. Wood fiber
mulch applied by hydro mulch seeding may also be used. In exceptional cases, sheet plastic, jute
matting or other erosion control blankets may be used as an emergency cover if necessary.
10.Drainage will be provided to prevent saturating soil in construction fill areas and other vulnerable
conditions.
