Pertinent Correspondence M■ ME INTRODUCTION An alternative to meeting future energy needs in Alaska is hydroelectric power. To study this hydroelectric alter- native, the Alaska Power Administration and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified 32 potential hydroelectric sites south of Talkeetna, in the Southcentral Railbelt area of Alaska and the adjacent Anchorage -Cook Inlet area. The U.S. Corps of Engineers retained CH2M HILL to complete this preliminary study of the identified sites. The work consisted of gathering reconnaissance level data from various pertinent sources, correlating the information, and identifying the degree of potential acceptability of the sites relating to environmental and land use constraints. �� APPROACH Governmental agencies who were asked for evaluation input to this study include the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Joint Land Use Planning Commission of Alaska, and Alaska State Division of Lands. Input was also requested from conservation/environ- mental groups in the Anchorage area. Each agency or group was asked to evaluate environmental concerns in areas of their expertise. Coordination meetings with these groups were held to establish rating criteria for the environmental and land use subjects concerned. From these initial meetings a final evaluation package for the 32 sites was prepared (Appendix A). This package included the following: • A list of potential hydroelectric sites. • Index map that showed general site locations. • 1:250,000 maps showing more specific site location with project information such as dam height. (Appendix B) • Evaluation sheets for specific environmental evaluations. When completed, the evaluation sheets were returned to CH2M HILL. Each of the 32 potential hydroelectric sites was then categorized for environmental potential and summarized in this report. RATING CRITERIA CH2M HILL met with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Alaska Department of Fi.sh and Game, the Joint Land Use Planning Commission, and the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands. From discussions with these groups, rating criteria and evalution scales were established for each agency. These criteria are listed here to give a broad view of the topics involved in the evaluation. Fisheries and Wildlife: Effects.on resident and anadromous fisheries. Pressure to threatened or endangered species. Critical habitat for significant populations of fishes and wildlife. Unique natural features or ecosystems. Likely major adverse environmental impacts. Other specific impacts as determined during the study. Evaluation scale: unacceptable, conditional, least conflict. Division of Lands: • Sociological impacts of project locations. • Water rights and land ownership status. • Other specific impacts as determined during the study. • Evaluation scale: acceptable, conditional, unacceptable. Joint Land Use Planning Commission of Alaska: • Land use and classification of locations. • Length and route of power transmission lines and access roads. • Increased access to wilderness areas. • Other specific impacts as determined during the study. • Evaluation scale: acceptable, conditional, unacceptable. (This was determined by CH2M HILL based on the above information provided by the Commission.)

The relative evaluation was -made from this data by CH2M HILL. (Appendix D) The evaluation scale was determined as follows: a. Scale Increment: Unacceptable A site was rated "unacceptable" for one of two possible reasons: (1) the site was within a park, where such development would not be permitted. This condition would make a site unacceptable, no matter the other factors involved; (2) the site was located in lands withdrawn by Secretary of Interior Morton under section D-2. These lands have yet to be established by U.S. Congressional legislation. As the boundaries have changed somewhat since Morton's action, and will probably be altered further before the issue is resolved, the "unacceptable" rating under D-2 does not eliminate a site completely, but since the chances of acceptability are dubious, the low rating was given. b. Scale Increment: Conditional The rating of "conditional" was given a site for the following reasons: (1) access by road was difficult or distant, or (2) the location was on Native selected lands. Twice as much land has been selected than will be transferred to the native population. In some areas, the native interest is a percentage of the total. In areas which are transferred to native control, the corporations must be involved in the decision of whether or not to develop the given hydroelectric site(s). C. Scale Increment: Acceptable The term "acceptable" in this case, means that no major objections have been voiced about the site at the time of this report. In most instances, further research is required to determine the land use status of the site. For example, the State of Alaska Division of Lands was not able to provide information on the state lands involved within the time frame of this report. Hence, all state lands were indicated as "acceptable". The Alaska Division of Lands (Land and Water Management) was not able to contribute to this report (letter in Appendix E). METHOD OF EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Fish and wildlife habitat conflicts with the potential hydroelectric sites were evaluated by Alaska Fish and Game and National Marine Fisheries Service, and these evaluations were used to determine the ranking groups of the various sites. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was not able to complete a portion of the evaluations for this report due to unfortunate internal circumstances. Two environmental groups, Trustees for Alaska and Alaska Center for the Environment, also made evaluations and comments; these have been included in the individual site sheets in Appendix D. It must be noted that the emphasis in these evaluations was on elimination of poor sites and that those sites which were found "least conflict" or "conditional", are expected to be researched further before the agency gives approval to any site in this study. EXPLANATION OF RANKING GROUPS To determine a relative order of projects from most likely potential to least likely potential, the general evaluations of "unacceptable", "conditional", and "least conflict" were assigned numerical magnitudes of "0", "5", and "10", re- spectively. The ranking groups were based on an average of input from the Alaska Fish & Game (FG), the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FW), the National Marine Fishery Service (NMF) and information from the Land Use Planning Commission. Order within the groups was determined Trom input from the Alaska Center for the Environment, Trustees for Alaska and transmission access. The lowest ranking group (6) includes all sites which were found unanimously unacceptable by fish and wildlife agencies or sites where such projects would doubtlessly be in conflict with proposed land uses. In these cases, the site was given a "0" in the overall results. All other sites were ranked according to the overall average of the various inputs calculated for each site, as indicated in Appendix C.

Unacceptable sites from environ- mental and land use aspects. ME ON CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS The Table of Potential Acceptability of Selected Sites indicates the ranking of the various sites. Those in rank group 6 are unacceptable. Those in rank groups 1, 2 and 3 have the greatest probability of being acceptable for environmental and land use reasons, final ratings and/or suitability would require additional research and evaluation. These must of necessity consider other factors which are beyond the scope of this report. Agencies and groups who could give significant input to further investigation are the following: State of Alaska Department of Fish & Game U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service State of Alaska Division of Parks National Marine Fisheries Service State of Alaska Division of Lands National Parks & Recreation Alaska Center for the Environment Trustees for Alaska Alaska Conservation Society (Fairbanks) Fairbanks Environmental Center Denali Citizens Council (Talkeetna) APPENDIX A EVALUATION PACKAGE FA 1 I I I I I I I I 1 1 INTRODUCTION TO EVALUATION PACKAGE An alternative to meeting future energy needs in Alaska is hydro -electric power. To study the hydro -electrical alternative, the Alaska Power Administration and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have identified 61 potential hydro -electric sites. These sites are located in the South- central P.ailbelt area of Alaska, with 29 sites in the Fairbanks -Tanana Valley area and 32 sites in the Anchorage -Cook Inlet area. The objective of this study is to collect reconnaissance grade data on each site; the scope of this work is only concerned with environmental and land use considerations and land use aspects. Various governmental agencies and concerned citizens have been asked to evaluate these sites. From these evaluations each of the 61 potential sites will be categorized as to its environmental and land use acceptability. Governmental agencies being asked for evaluation input to this study include the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the U.S. Fish and Wild- life service, the Joint Land Use Planning Commission of Alaska, Alaska State Division of Lands, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' environmental permit section. Input is also being requested from conservation/environ- mental groups in both the Anchorage and Fairbanks areas. Each agency or group is being asked to evaluate environmental concerns in areas of their expertise. The range of information being evaluated includes the following: 1. Pressure to threatened or endangered species 2. Effects on resident and anadromous fisheries 3. Critical habitat for significant populations of wildlife 4. Unique natural features or ecosystems 5. Length and route of power transmission lines and access roads 6. Increased access to wilderness areas 7. Sociological impacts of project locations 8. Likely major adverse environmental impacts 9. Land use and classification of locations 10. Other site specific impacts as determined during this study. Coordination meetings with various groups were held to establish criteria for rating each of the specific information listed above. From these initial meetings a final evaluation package for the 61 sites was prepared. Attached is this package, which includes: 0 A list of potential hydro -electric sites. • Index map that shows general site locations. • 1:250,000 maps showing more specific site location with project information such as dam height. • Evaluation sheets for specific environmental evaluations. When completed, the evaluation sheets are to be returned to CH2M HILL. Each of the 61 potential hydro -electric sites will then be categorized for environmental acceptability and a report prepared for the Corps of Engineers. CH2M HILL's contract schedule requires that the evaluation study be completed by 17 October 1978. Based on this deadline, the following is the tentative study schedule: 0 Initial agency or group contact 2 October • Meeting with agencies to establish rating criteria 4 October • Evaluation package sent to each agency or group 9 October 0 Agency or group evaluations completed 13 October • Final report submitted 17 October The above schedule is very tight and will require considerable effort by all groups. The efforts of those involved will be deeply appreciated. Time permitting, and as desired, the final study will be reviewed with those interested. RATING CRITERIA CH2M HILL met on 4 October 1978 with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and later that day with the Joint Land Use Planning Commission and the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands. From the discussions with these groups, a rating criteria and evaluation scale have been established for each agency. These criteria are listed here to give a broad view of the topics involved in the evaluations. The importance of input in the "Comment" columns must be emphasized. These remarks will play an important part in the evaluation by CH2M HILL combining the input from all the various agencies.
