Mountains, glaciers, wildlife, and a remote, wilderness-like quality characterize the regional setting for the Project area and adjacent lands. Such resources, though highly attractive, are relatively abundant within the southcentral region of Alaska. Poor access, remoteness, and comparatively few recreational opportunities are among the reasons for which the Project area is not frequently visited by recreationists. Bradley Lake, used primarily for hunting access and generally accessible only by float plane, probably would receive little increased use in the future without the Project. Based on factors of magnitude, intensity, duration, irreversibility, and importance of the resource affected, none of the potential impacts from the Project on recreation resources is considered to be significant. Except for moose hunting opportunities on the Kachemak Creek delta, the impacts on recreation are expected to be short-term and reversible. Demand for public use of improved marine and pedestrian access to the Project area will be induced by the Project. Some demand for limited camping and day-use facilities is expected to occur because improved access facilities (barge dock, access roads for pedestrian use) will be made available to the public during the operation phase. The recreation plan was developed in response to the level of impacts, appropriate mitigation measures, and input from state and federal agencies. Three picnic/camp sites will be constructed near the barge dock on Sheep Point in the lower recreation zone. In the upper recreation zone, one picnic/camp site will be installed at the FERC upper construction camp location, one picnic/camp site will be placed beside the upper access road near Sta. 872, and one picnic/camp site will be sited at the upper batch plant location. Each picnic/camp site will include a picnic table, bench, round fire pit, and leveled tent pad area. Proposed sites for possible future development of recreational facilities have been considered. A user registration station and interpretive sign will be established along the iv 3057R/0147w/CG access road near the barge dock for monitoring of public use. The Alaska Power Authority will conduct annual reviews of recreational use in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR) Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. Comprehensive reports will be provided to FERC at 5-year intervals during the initial 15 years of Project operation in accordance with the Project FERC Order Issuing License. v 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 1.0 IN'IRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to document planned mitigation for recreational resources on the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project. The report updates information previously supplied as part of Exhibit E of the FERC License Application (Alaska Power Authority 1984) to the Federal Energy Regulatory Connnission (FERC). The report addresses location and number of recreational facilities, and the reasoning behind their selection. Plans for monitoring public use and future development are also discussed. Preparation of this report has been directed to specifically comply with requirements of Article 36 of the FERC Order Issuing License for the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project. 1.2 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER REPORTS The Recreational Resources Mitigation Plan· is one element of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project Mitigation Plan (Alaska Power Authority 1985). ·The information presented in this report elaborates on the recreation facilities proposed in the FERC License Application and Mitigation Plan, reflecting final design and as-built conditions of key Project appurtenances. Where necessary, changes in siting or type of recreational facilities have been made from those originally proposed to effect design improvements or response to agency consultation. 1.3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Information for Section 2.0, Baseline Description, and Section 3.0, Project Impacts, of this report were summarized from Chapter 7, Report on Recreational Resources, FERC License Application. Sections on mitigation measures and monitoring of public use were developed from information provided in the FERC License Application and Mitigation Plan and in 1-1 3057R/0147w/CG consultation with the ADNR -Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. Design details for public camping facilities at each of the selected sites was provided courtesy of the ADNR -Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation. l-2 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 2.0 BASELINE DESCRIPtiON 2.0 BASELINE DESCRIPTION 2.1 GENERAL The Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project area is located near the head of Kachemak Bay, which is a major embayment at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula. Mountains, glaciers, wildlife, and a remote, wilderness-like quality characterize the recreational setting for the Project area and adjacent lands. Such resources, though highly attractive, are relatively abundant within the southcentral region of Alaska. The weather patterns for the Project area are generally favorable for recreation, given the relatively mild local climate. However, precipitation in the area at higher elevations can be great, approaching 180 inches annually at Kachemak Glacier. Winds are often gusty at higher elevations and are locally intense around Sheep Point. Wind-driven waves near Sheep Point can affect safe marine access to the area. The Project area is divided into two distinct recreation zones based on topographical relief and type of access (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-l). The lower recreation zone includes the area generally accessible from Kachemak Bay. The lower drainages for the Martin River, Battle Creek, and Bradley River, the lower half of the Fox River valley, and the upper Kachemak Bay are part of the setting for the lower recreation zone. The setting for the upper recreation zone includes the mountainous region beginning near the edge of Kachemak Bay and extending to Bradley Lake, Nuka and Kachemak Glaciers, and the upper Middle Fork River. 2.1.1 Lower Recreation Zone The lower Fox River valley is a broad, flat, steep-walled valley shaped by a braided river system. Vegetation in the valley is a mosaic of coniferous woodlands, open mixed deciduous woodlands, and wet meadows of emergent grasses and sedges, and ponds. At the mouth of the valley is an estuarine system with a broad intertidal zone inundated twice daily by tides with a range that can exceed 27 feet. The lower tidal zone at the head of 2-1 3057R/0147w/CG Kachemak Bay is generally barren of vegetation, while the upper tidal zone supports salt-tolerant grasses and sedges. Both tidal zones are dissected by meandering tidal channels shaped by the combination of tidal fluctuations and the freshwater flows from the Fox River, Sheep Creek, Bradley River, Martin River, and Battle Creek. 2.1.2 Upper Recreation Zone Bradley Lake lies in a basin at an elevation of 1080 feet and is surrounded by mountain peaks ranging between 4000 and 5000 feet in elevation. The Kenai Range is not particularly high by Alaskan standards, but its extremely rugged character and the Nuka and Kachemak Galciers are scenic. Formidable rock walls enclose much of the lake edge, with only headwaters of the lake having a gentle, accessible shore. Vegetation in the upper recreation zone varies from dense coastal forests of Sitka spruce, grading at higher elevations into a mosaic of dense alder and willow shrubs and tall grasses through the treeline. Alpine meadows of low grasses and shrubs dominate at the higher elevations. The shrub/grass communities give way at ridges and higher elevations to rocky, uneven terrain and ice fields. Willow and alder shrubs dominate the lower slopes surrounding Bradley Lake and the deltas of Kachemak Creek and the Upper Bradley River. 2.2 FACTORS AFFECTING EXISTING RECREATION USE The magnitude of current use may be described only in qualitative, comparative terms, since data concerning recreation use in the Project area are poor or non-existent. Recreation activity at the head of Kachemak Bay and the Bradley Lake basin is relatively sparse, primarily because the two areas are somewhat remote. The degree of remoteness of the Project area is especially great for those visiting Kachemak Bay. Anchorage is a major contributor of recreationists coming to Kachemak Bay. Homer is a 6-hour drive from Anchorage. Once in Homer, out-of-area visitors must be ferried by boat for 1 to 2 hours to 2-2 3057R/0147w/CG reach the head of Kachemak Bay, depending upon the weather, type of boat, and tides. Use of the upper bay by boats must also generally be timed to the approximately 12-hour tidal cycles. Thus, there is less flexibility in timing than for visits to recreation sites near deep water. The northwest side of the Fox River valley is occasionally accessed by all-terrain vehicles (ATV), horseback, and by boat. The southeast side of the valley is generally reached only by boat because the river channels impede pedestrian or vehicular approach from the west. However, snow- mobiles have been known to cross to the east side of the valley during winter. Further, prior to the Project there were no landing strips on the southeast side of the valley. Although Bradley Lake could be reached by foot prior to construction of the access road, the steep terrain and thick vegetation preclude most from attempting this difficult climb. Access to Bradley Lake was generally by float plane. Another reason that the head of Kachemak Bay and Bradley Lake are infrequently used is that the recreation opportunities generally are not as diverse and perhaps not as attractive as those nearer Homer. The Bradley Lake basin is an exception, offering moderate to high scenic views of the alpine environment and its glaciated mountains. However, the scenic qualities found here are also abundant elsewhere in the region, as well as in Kachemak Bay State Park just across Kachemak Bay from Homer. With respect to the lower Fox River valley, the resources (braided river valley) complement those in the outer bay (rugged mountains, clear, deep waters). However, the features of primary interest to both local and visiting recreationists in the outer bay are not found at the head of the bay. The clear, deep waters are a main at traction to Kachemak Bay for those living near upper Cook Inlet where the waters are turbid. The shallow, comparatively turbid estuarine waters of the head of the bay, then, would not be expected to draw large numbers of visiting recreationists interested in clear-water boating. Although there are some limited opportunities for fishing in tributaries at the mouth of the Fox River valley, the outer bay supports superior fisheries that are a noted attraction to recreationists. 2-3 3057R/0147w/CG 2.3 EXISTING RECREATION USE The recreation in the Project area that does occur is dispersed and undeveloped, with the primary activity being hunting. A privately owned hunting lodge at Caribou Lake, though far from the immediate Bradley Lake area, is the only commercially developed hunting facility available. The most popular species hunted in the Project area include moose, mountain goat, black bear, and waterfowl. Moose range over most of the Project area and throughout much of the surrounding region. Populations are more dense in the Caribou Hills-Tustemena Lake area than in the Kenai Mountains. Part of the upper Fox River valley has been identified as a moose wintering and calving habitat. A small wintering population of up to approximately 15 moose utilize the Kachemak Creek delta at the head of Bradley Lake. Hunter access to Bradley Lake is mostly by float plane. Due to the small moose population and limited access, annual visitation to the area by moose hunters is also considered low. Mountain goats are common 1n the higher terrain around Bradley Lake. Mountain goat hunting on the Kenai Peninsula has been regulated by a drawing permit system since 1979. Goat hunters use float planes to access the lake due to the steep, rugged terrain. Black bears are common throughout the Fox River drainage and may be hunted year-round on the Kenai Peninsula. The Fox River delta is popular among the residents of the lower peninsula for hunting black bears. Access is primarily by boat. Hunting mostly occurs around the head of Kachemak Bay and along the major tributaries of the Fox River. Bradley Lake is also popular, being an access point for summer and fall black bear hunting. 2-4 3057R/0147w/CG ' A limited number of brown bears occur at the higher elevations around Bradley Lake. Brown bears may be hunted during May 10-25 and September 1 - October 10. A limit of 1 bear may be taken every 4 regulatory years. Brown bears are only occasionally taken by hunters in the Bradley Lake area. The lower Fox River valley is a staging area for fall migrant waterfowl. Waterfowl hunting is a popular recreation activity in the lower Fox River valley. The season extends from September 1 to the middle of December. In addition to hunting, some sight-seeing occurs in the Fox River valley and the Bradley Lake basin. The Sierra Club has in the past sponsored skiing trips which cross Bradley Lake into the Nuka River valley and Kenai Fjords National Park. The Kenai Fjords National Park is located near the eastern boundary of the Project area. Guided horse trips along the northwest shore of the upper bay are also available during the summer. 2.4 EXISTING RECREATION TRENDS Trends in recreation use of the Bradley Lake basin and the Fox River valley are difficult to predict, given the lack of historic or current data. However, these remote areas may become more popular as recreation use of lower Kachemak Bay increases. Recreation use on the Kenai Peninsula will probably grow faster than in other parts of the southcentral region. Kachemak Bay is noted for its excellent fishing, while Homer Spit is a favorite spot for tent and recreation vehicle camping in the summer. Since fishing and camping are two of the most popular pursuits of Alaskans when travelling away from home, Homer and Kachemak Bay State Park can expect a good share of the projected increases in recreation on the peninsula. The increased number of boat slips at the Homer Small Boat Harbor, a new designated recreation area, and an expanded trail system in Kachemak Bay State Park will serve to meet much of the anticipated demand. For some, though, the remote, little-used head of Kachemak Bay may become increasingly attractive as Homer and the State Park receive added recreation use. 2-5 \ 3057R/0147w/CG Local residents generally are now, and would continue to be in the future, the primary recreationists in the Project area. Those visiting Kachemak Bay may not, as noted, find the head of the bay attractive. Additional use of the area in the future probably will occur largely due to local interest. Future recreation use would not be expected to show large absolute increases. 2.5 FUTURE RECREATION FACILITIES In the absence of the Project, no known recreation facilities were planned for the future within or adjacent to the Project area. 2-6 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 3.0 PROJECT IMPACTS 3.0 PROJECT IMPACTS The Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project will have impacts on existing recreation patterns in the area. Direct impacts include the physical changes in the natural resources contributing to the recreational opportunities. Such impacts may either improve or detract from the desirability of a recreational setting relative to current activities. A corresponding increase or decrease in recreation use may then occur. Also considered to be direct impacts are changes that make new types of activities possible. Indirect impacts include those which bring about changes in the level of user demand, and those impacts on the recreational resources brought about by the construction work force and the influx of recreationists resulting from increased access. Indicators of significance include: duration, irreversibility, magnitude, and the regional and local importance of the recreational resource affected. Impacts associated with construction generally are short-term, and those due to operation of facilities long-term. For major facilities to be constructed and not removed (e.g., dam, powerhouse, access roads, permanent facilities), their impacts may be generally irreversible; Magnitude is a function of the areal extent of the disturbance relative to the regional and local context. Regional and local importance of recreational. resources may be affected by their uniqueness, the current level of recreation use they support, use expected in the future, or their potential for future use. The following is a discussion of recreational opportunities, Project features affecting recreational uses, and the impact of construction and operation of the Project. 3-1 3057R/0147w/CG \ 3.1 ACCESS 3.1.1 Access Roads Access roads used to support construction of Project features, and later operation and maintenance, can be divided into three segments: powerhouse to the lower camp; lower camp to the main darn; and lower camp to the Martin River. The powerhouse to lower camp and lower camp to Martin River access roads are in the lower recreation zone, while the lower camp to the main darn access road is in the upper recreation zone. Construction of the access roads have led to only minor avoidance of the area by wildlife. Waterfowl and shorebirds in Kachemak Bay appear least affected by the access roads. Evidence of tracks and sightings have shown both moose and mountain goats to have used and crossed the access road at higher elevations. Moose have also been observed on the lower access roads. The Martin River access road temporarily impounds tidal water on the landward side, creating or enhancing shallow tidal ponds. Large flocks of fall migrant waterfowl have been observed utilizing these areas for feeding and resting. Ducks have also been observed feeding and resting adjacent to access roads that were heavily used by large construction equipment. The impacts of disturbance to waterfowl and shorebirds from construction and use of Project access roads predicted in the License Application have not been realized to date. The observed disturbance level has been low during construction and subsequent traffic on the access roads. Waterfowl hunters were observed to hunt close to the access road during both the 1986 and 1987 hunting seasons. Though some hunters may have avoided hunting immediately adjacent to Project facilities, limited impact on waterfowl hunters has been apparent. Only minor disturbance or inconvenience to waterfowl hunters is expected throughout the construction and operation periods. 3-2 3057R/0147w/CG One direct impact of the access road system will be improved access into the Bradley Lake basin during the operation phase of the Project. Use of Project access roads by the public will be limited to pedestrian traffic. An undetermined, but low, level of pedestrian use of the access roads by area residents and others is expected. Summer use of the Bradley Lake basin wi 11 1 ikely increase, with additional sightseeing and backpacking occurring. Winter use of the access road by a few cross country skiers annually will probably occur. 3.1.2 Landing Strip The Project landing strip is located as part of the access road adjacent to the waterfowl nesting area between the powerhouse and Sheep Point. The runway is 2400 feet long and is gravel surfaced. As documented in the December 1986 Application for Amendment of License (Alaska Power Authority 1986), the landing strip will not be used by fixed-wing aircraft during the construction phase of the Project. Use of the landing strip during the operation pha~e will be restricted to Project-related air traffic. The infrequent use of the landing strip should not present an unreasonable disturbance to nearby waterfowl hunters or visitors using Project access roads. Public aircraft use of the landing strip is not integral to use of the recreational amenities in the Project area. The recreation plan has been developed and recreational facilities sited for the Project with recognition of the restricted use of the Project landing strip (Alaska Power Authority 1986). 3.1.3 Barge Dock The barge dock will be open for public use during the operation phase of the Project. The barge dock facility will be available for public boat access to the Sheep Point area at high tides. Boats could beach near many points along the access road at high tides as well. The barge dock facility will provide moorage which offers some protection from wave action coming off Kachemak Bay. It is anticipated that most visitors will access 3-3 3057R/0147w/CG the Project area via the barge dock facility. The barge dock is the only improved facility for marine access to the northeast shore at the head of Kachemak Bay. Presence of the barge dock will probably result in increased use of the area by visitors arriving by boat. 3.2 HUNTING Hunting or trapping by Project construction personnel is not permitted within the Project area. Discharge of firearms within the Project boundary is permitted only in a life-threatening situation in the event of a man-animal encounter. Intentional animal harassment, wanton destruction of known wildlife habitat, or violation of the hunting restrictions are grounds for employee termination. Thus, Project construction personnel will not have any direct hunting impacts on wildlife populations. As noted earlier, waterfowl hunters have been observed hunting near Project facilities during construction. To date, waterfowl hunters have not interfered with or been endangered by construction activities. Accordingly, the Alaska Power Authority has not sought during construction to limit hunting by non-Project personnel who undertake their activities outside the limits where work is underway. Placement of access roads on the tidal flats may have even improved waterfowl hunting opportunities through the creation or enhancement of tidal ponding on the landward side of the access roads. Waterfowl hunters may take advantage of the Project recreational facilities to be sited at Sheep Point by arriving on a high tide the night before and then hunting early the next morning. Through time, the rehabilitated Martin River pits may provide waterfowl hunting opportunities, particularly if emergent vegetation establishes in shallow areas. It is also probable that waterfowl hunting and waterfowl viewing opportunities will be enhanced in the waterfowl nesting area to be established north of Sheep Point as part of the Project Mitigation Plan. Improved pedestrian access from the barge dock to the Bradley Lake basin will probably not increase the number of drawing permits issued for mountain goat hunting by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). 3-4 3057R/0147w/CG It is improbable that many goat hunters will walk the approximately 7 miles from the barge dock to the main dam to gain access to Bradley Lake, in preference to flying in to Bradley Lake by float plane. The small moose population in the upper Bradley Lake basin will probably be displaced when the rising level of the lake inundates a large portion of their winter habitat. As a result, the already marginal moose hunting opportunities in the Bradley Lake basin will likely decline. Hunting opportunities elsewhere within the Fox River valley could absorb the limited number of displaced hunters. In the future, hunters may utilize access roads for moose hunting, thereby offsetting the loss of hunting opportunities on the upper Bradley Lake basin herd. 3.3 FISHING Construction of the Project will not impact fishing opportunities within the Project area. All streams and rivers harboring fish will be available to sport fishermen during operation. The runs of anadramous salmon returning to the area '.s freshwater streams are small, and have not attracted significant numbers of fishermen. Fishing within the Project boundary by Project construction personnel is not permitted. Any fishing by Project construction personnel outside the Project boundary is encouraged to be on a catch-and-release basis. During Project operation, it is anticipated that rehabilitation of the Martin River borrow area into salmon spawning and rearing. habitat will enhance salmon fishing opportunities in the lower Martin River. Dolly Varden populations may also increase and become available to fisherman. In addition, regulated flows in the Bradley River should provide more consistent habitat for salmon spawning and rearing. Fishing opportunities should be enhanced in both the Mart in and Bradley Rivers during ope rat ion of the Project. 3-5 3057R/0147w/CG 3.4 HIKING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES Project roads will substantially improve the ability of hikers to gain access to the higher elevations above Kachemak Bay and the Bradley Lake basin. For hikers not wishing to use Project roads, there are innumerable alternate routes to higher elevations. However, dense, entangled undergrowth vegetation such as alders severely restrict free movement on the steep slopes above Kachemak Bay. Once reaching Bradley Lake, hikers could venture off the road and soon leave behind all evidence of man-made structures. Depending on the time of year, exposure of an unvegetated shoreline caused by drawdown of the lake will have an unnatural appearance. The availability of the upper access road will probably result in only a limited increase in visitation and use of Bradley Lake by the public. Visitation to the dam and other Project facilities induced by interest in the facilities themselves is considered to be a one-time activity, and a negligible indirect impact of the Project. 3.5 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS Collectively, the Project will substantially alter the wilderness character within the Project Boundary. The effect will be to modify the setting within which recreation activities could occur. For some, the Bradley Lake basin and the head of Kachemak Bay may become less desirable. For others, improved access may make the area more desirable. Compared to the intensity of recreation use on the Kenai Peninsula, and in particular in the outer Kachemak Bay, recreation use of the head of Kachemak Bay and the Bradley Lake basin is considered to be negligible. Future recreation use of Project lands and waters is expected to increase somewhat, but remain low. Low use and an abundance of similar recreation opportunities locally and regionally suggest that the Bradley Lake region offers recreation resources of marginal current and future importance. Therefore, though the impact of the Project will be long-term and irreversible, the reduction in wilderness character is considered to be insignificant. 3-6 3057R/0147w/CG The recreation plan was developed in response to the level of appropriate mitigation measures, and input from state and impacts, federal agencies. In conclusion, the level of impacts will be minimal. Mitigation measures address a relatively small increase in Project area use, and public and agency input recommended installation of a minimal number of facilities. 3-7 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 4.0 MITIGATION MEASURES 4.0 MITIGATION MEASURES The License Application and Mitigation Plan reconnnended a recreation plan which included types and numbers of recreation facilities to be constructed as mitigation for lost or foregone recreation opportunities. During the process of final design, and subsequent to construction of several Project features such as access roads and construction disposal sites, alternative design and siting of recreational facilities have been proposed. These alternative designs and sites have received input and concurrence from the ADNR -Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, and are presented below by Project recreation zone. All recreational facilities planned for both current and future development will be located within the Project Boundary as described in Exhibit G maps previously supplied. Project recreational facilities will be constructed during the Rehabilitation and Revegetation Contract near the end of the construction period. Pit latrines will not be provided at picnic/camp sites. The Project area is considered a remote site, and only infrequent use by a limited number of visitors is anticipated. Pit latrines require regular maintenance even in the absence of use, and must be protected from damage by animals such as bears. As reconnnended by ADNR -Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, pit latrines may be provided at picnic/camp sites in the future if the need is so indicated by levels of public use. The philosophy for visitors to the Project area will be one of "pack it in, pack it out". Thus, garbage cans will not be provided at picnic/camp sites. The Project area is remote, and even bear-proof garbage cans require regular maintenance to decrease the potential for attracting bears to the picnic/camp sites. The Project operations and maintenance personnel will not be in a position to regularly check and empty garbage cans which may be only infrequently used. For visitors to remove their garbage themselves will maintain the integrity of the picnic/camp sites, and heighten the wilderness experience of subsequent visitors. If the need is so indicated by future increases in levels of public use, a brochure may be developed explaining the "pack it in, pack it out" philosophy, Project 4-1 3057R/0147w/CG facilities, tide fluctuations, and other boating safety considerations. This brochure would be made available at the Project site and at visitor centers in Homer and Anchorage. 4.1 LOWER RECREATION ZONE Three picnic sites and three tent pads will be constructed near the barge dock at the Sheep Point location (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-l). Picnic sites will be constructed adjacent to the tent pads. Each picnic/camp site will include a picnic table, bench, round fire pit, and leveled tent pad area (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102B-l). The site for the recreational facilities in the lower recreation zone was selected for its close proximity to the barge dock, access via the access road, shelter from prevailing northerly winds, more privacy and seclusion being nestled against the hill, fewer bears than nearer the lower construction camp area, and more opportunity for wildlife observation (particularly birds). Proposed siting of each picnic/camp site within the Sheep Point location is shown on Drawing No. 15800-FA-102B-l. all picnic/camp sites will be determined at construction. These facilities will provide overnight-use by the public. Actual field siting of the time of their for both day-use and Detailed design drawings are provided for picnic tables (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102C-l), wood benches (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102D-l), and round fire pits (reference Drawing No. ·15800-FA-102E-l). Picnic table tops at the Sheep Point location will be extended for use by the handicapped. 4. 2 UPPER RECREATION ZONE Three locations have been selected for siting of three picnic/camp sites in the upper recreation zone. A picnic table, bench, fire pit, and tent pad will be included at all recreational facilities constructed in the upper recreation zone. 4-2 3057R/0147w/CG 4.2.1 Upper Construction Camp Location One picnic/camp site will be installed at the FERC upper construction camp location (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-l). The picnic/camp site is located on the west side of the disposal area adjacent to an unnamed lake. This site is accessed via the road to the main dam. The nearby lakes do not harbor fish, but provide a relaxing and scenic setting when viewed from the picnic/camp site. 4.2.2 Upper Batch Plant Location One picnic/camp site will be sited at the upper batch plant location (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-1). The picnic/camp site is located against the hillside at one end of the leveled site (reference Drawing 15800-FA-102B-l). The picnic/camp pad at the upper batch plant location is accessed via the road to the main dam. Several lakes are located nearby. The upper batch plant location is approximately 0.7 miles from the main dam and Bradley Lake. Excellent views of Bradley Lake and the surrounding basin are possible from the upper batch plant location. 4.2.3 Upper Lakes Location One picnic/camp site will be placed in a graveled pullout beside the upper access road near Sta. 872 (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-1). Several lakes nearly surround the upper lakes location. Access is via the road to the main dam. The upper lakes location is between the upper construction camp and upper batch plant locations, and about 1.1 miles from the main dam. This is an excellent location for access into the alpine tundra areas for hiking and sightseeing. 4.3 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Based on both past and anticipated recreational use of the Project area by the public, a need for further development of recreational facilities beyond those already proposed is not anticipated at this time. However, in 4-3 3057R/0147w/CG the event another recreational facility location is required in the lower recreation zone, a site for future development is proposed near Battle Creek along the access road (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-l). An access trail would be cleared between the road and picnic/camp site. The trail to the single picnic/camp site would pass near the small slough, which is a summer spawning area for salmon. Another site with potential for future development as a recreational facility in the upper recreation zone is located near Station 779 of the access road (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102 A-1). A picnic/camp site could be developed on the peninsula separating the two unnamed lakes. An access trail would be cleared between the road and picnic/camp site. At the time either of these locations were developed, the Project Boundary could be expanded along the affected portion of the access road to include these future developments. 4-4 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 5.0 MONITORING OF PUBLIC USE 5.0 MONITORING OF PUBLIC USE 5.1 USER REGISTRATION STATION AND INTERPRETIVE SIGN A user registration station and interpretive sign will be established along the access road near the barge dock (reference Drawing No. 15800-FA-102A-l). The interpretive sign shown on Figure 1 is a representative example of the final design. Final design of the interpretive sign will be delayed until construction of the Project is nearing completion to ensure accuracy of the text and drawings. The user registration station will provide the means for visitors to voluntarily record their names, city and state of residence, reason for their visit, expected length of stay, and any comments they may have on the Project recreational facilities. The form of recording this information at the user registration station will allow later visitors to peruse the information provided by previous visitors. The interpretive sign will briefly discuss the history of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project, list pertinent statistics and· information regarding the use of Bradley Lake water for electric power generation, and provide a plan view map of the Project area showing the location of key Project facilities (reference Figure 1). The location, type, and distance to and between each of the Project recreational facilities will also be shown on the interpretive sign. The interpretive sign will elaborate on the 11 pack it in, pack it out" philosophy for garbage removal. 5.2 MONITORING AND ANNUAL REVIEW Project operation and maintenance personnel will periodically collect and record the information from the user registration station. These personnel will make frequent use of the Project access roads as part of their daily activities, and will be provided a data logging system for recording their observations of public use of the area in and near the Project Boundary. 5-1 3057R/0147w/CG Any required maintenance of recreational facilities will also be conducted by, or under the direction of, Project operations and maintenance personnel. The information collected from the user registration station and from recorded observations of Project operations and maintenance personnel will be used by the Alaska Power Authority as the basis for an annual review of recreational use of the Project area. The annual review will be conducted in cooperation with the ADNR -Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation during February of each year. Recommendations of actions to improve or expand Project recreational facilities stemming from the annual review will be implemented by the Alaska Power Authority during the spring of the same year. Information regarding the planning meetings, recommendations, and implemented actions will be documented for each annual review. 5.3 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Alaska Power Authority will provide a comprehensive report to FERC summarizing public use, monitoring efforts, agency consultation, and implemented actions regarding Project recreational facilities at the conclusion of each of three 5-year intervals during the initial 15 years of Project operation. The report will provide current maps showing present Project recreational facilities, and give recommendations for the type and extent of future recreational development based on recreational use at the Project site during the 5-year reporting period. The report will also track and evaluate trends in recreational use in order to anticipate future needs. 5-2 3057R/0147w/CG SECTION 6.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY 6.0 BIBLIOGRAPHY Alaska Power Authority. 1984.

Eberle DATE: December 7, 1987 THRU: FROM: Project Manager/Bradley Lake FILENO: TELEPHONE NO: 762-2274 suBJECT: Bradley Lake Recreation Plan Review Edward G. Barber, Jr. ~ Chief, Water Management/APA Sect+~.J We have reviewed the Bradley Lake Recreational Plan and have the following comments and suggestions. Bill Garry with the State Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation reviewed the plan and gave us verbal comments which are combined with ours. The plan in general is a good incremental approach to the recreation needs of the area considering the recreational use from available data. It seems that if use of the area continues as in the past, then your plan is fine as is. If use increases, however it is suggested that you provide a pit latrine at the barge dock site on Sheep Point. The two upper sites should also get pit latrines when the need rises. If use of the area increases, you might consider a brochure explaining the "pack in, pack out philosophy" as well as information on local tides, especially relating to the long runout at low water and any hazards to boating. As recreational use data becomes available, we will make further recommendations. Please call me at 762-2274 if you have any questions. cc. A!
