5 POWER Engineers’ Monthly Report dated September 17, 2002
2s USFWS Record of Decision dated September 11, 2002
I. SUMMARY
We have received the USFWS/KNWR Record of Decision, which denies a permit for the
Proposed transmission line (ENSTAR Route) through the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge
(KNWR). The permit denial is based on the finding that the proposed project is not compatible
with the refuge plans and that a feasible alternative route has been identified (TESORO
Route). Under ANILCA regulations this decision is final and appeals can only be made to the
President of the United States.
RUS’ and the COE’s Record of Decision are expected to be available in October of this year.
We expect these RODs to agree with the findings of the USFWS/KNWR.
The TESORO route would cross two small sections of the KNWR, but permits are not expected
to be necessary. A recent land transaction between the native corporation Point Possession
Inc. and the Conservation Fund has transferred more than 4,000 acres at Pt. Possession to the
KNWR, but reserves lands which can allow easements for the Project.
RUS will refund $32,860 of funds not used for consultants engaged in the EIS preparation.
Expenditures for Phase IC (EIS) of the project stand as follows:
POWER DESCRIPTION | evcineers | COE/USFWS/RUS | CHUGACH | TOTAL

RECORD OF DECISION
SOUTHERN INTERTIE PROJECT
INTERTIE PARTICIPANTS GROUP
RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT APPLICATION E-298-KE
Decision
We, the U.S, Fish and Wildlife Service, through the Regional Director, Alaska Region, hereby
deny a grant of right-of-way (application E-298-KE) to the Intertie Participants Group (IPG) for
development of the Southern Intertie electric transmission line project on the Kenai National
Wildlife Refuge. The proposed project would have significant adverse impacts on Kenai Refuge
resources, was determined to be not compatible with the purposes for which the Kenai Refuge was
established, and there exists an economically feasible and prudent alternative to crossing the Kenai
Refuge. Our decision, made under authority of the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act (16 U.S.C. 668dd), complies with the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act [(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.)] and the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act [(ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3101)].
Project Description
The IPG consists of Chugach Electric Association, Inc., Municipality of Anchorage - Municipal
Light and Power, City of Seward - Seward Electric System, Matanuska Electric Association, Inc.,
Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc., and Homer Electric Association, Inc. The IPG proposes
10 construct 4 new 138 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line between the Kenai Peninsula and
Anchorage. The proposed transmission line (Enstar Route) would enter the Kenai Refuge east of
Sterling, and follow the existing Enstar natural gas pipeline for approximately 38.3 miles to
Chickaloon Bay, where it would exit the Refuge at Burnt Island. The 3-phase transmission line
would be supported mostly by guyed steel X-frame towers of approximately 90 fcet in hcight, and
a typical span of 750 feet, For 5.4 miles adjacent to Chickaloon Bay, 70-foot tall single wood
poles with a typical span of 600 feet would be used. A facility enclosed within a 100-foot by 130-
foot fenced area would be constructed for transition from overhead to submarine cable. The right-
of-way width would be 100 fect for single pole, or 150 feet for X-frame structures.
NEPA Compliance
As a cooperating Federal agency, we assisted in preparation of an environmental impact statement!
(EIS) for the project in accordance with the provisions of NEPA and the Council on
Yinvironmental Quality regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508. We participated in public scoping
and inter-agency meetings, and in public hearings on the project draft EIS as required by Title XI
' Southern Intertie Project Final Environmental Impact Statement, U.S, Department of
Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service, Washington, DC, July, 2002.

of ANILCA. The EIS describes the consultation and coordination that has occurred during the
NEPA process.
Title Xl of ANILCA
The Kenai Refuge is a Conservation System Unit designated under ANILCA [Section 304 (4)],
and rights-of-way for transportation and utility systems (TUS) are governed under Title XI of
ANILCA and its implementing regulations at 43 CFR Part 36. Regulations'at 43 CFR 36.7 require
that the following nine fuctors be considered in making a decision regarding a proposed TUS:
1, The need for and economic feasibility of the TUS (43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(i)].
The purpose and need for the project is documented in the EIS, and centers around
coirecting existing deficiencies in the Railbelt electrical system south of Anchorage.
Deficiencies include capacily limitations of the existing Quartz Creek transmission line
and its susceptibility to outages due to avalanches and other adverse weather conditions.
Although evaluation of the economic feasibility of electric utility projects is beyond our
scope of expertise, we have no reason to dispute the findings in the EIS.
2, Alternative routes and modes of access, including a determination with respect to whether
there is any economically feasible and prudent alternative’ to rouling the system through or
within an area, and, if not, whether there are alternate routes or modes which would result in
Sewer or less severe impacts upon the area [43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(ii)].
The US identificd a number of alternatives to the proposed project, including two major
new Lransmission line routing alternatives (Quartz Creek and Tesoro routes), and a wide
variety of non-transmission alternatives, such as fucl cells, battery energy storage systems,
new gencration, and energy conservation. Of these, only the Tesoro Route transmission
line alternative was found to mect the purpose and need for the project, and was therefore
fully evaluated in the EIS. Originally identified by the IPG as a viable project altcrnative,
the Tesoro Route generally parallels the North Kenai Road from Nikiski to Captain Cook
State Recreation Area, and then follows the existing Tesoro fuels pipeline along the
northwest coast of the Kenai Peninsula to Pt. Possession, where it becomes a submarine
crossing of Turnagain Arm enroute to Anchorage. The route would occupy a
transportation corridor designated by the Kenai Peninsula Borough on Jands removed from
the Kenai Refuge (PLO 3400, May 22, 1964) for development of the Kenai Peninsula.
Although the Tesoro Route would cross the established Kenai Refuge boundary at two
locations for a total of less than two miles, a right-of-way permit from the Service would
not be required at these locations. The cost to construct the Tesoro Route alternative is
*Fconomically feasible and prudent alternative route means a route either within or
outside an area that is based on sound engineering practices and is economically practicable, but
does not necessarily mean the least costly alternative route [43 CFR 36.2 (h)].

.
approximately ten percent higher than for the Enstar Route, and the total life cycle cost
favors the Enstar Route by approximately 14 percent. However, the additional costs of
construction and maintenance do not disqualify the Tesoro Route alternative from being an
economically feasible and prudent alternative consistent with the regulatory definition, and
from the standpoint of the IPG.
3. The feasibility and impacts of including different TUSs in the same area
[43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(iii)}. i
Both of the new transmission line alternatives are located adjacent to existing pipelines for
much of their routes on the Kenai Peninsula. The Enstar Route parallels the Enstar natural
gas pipeline across the Kenai Refuge, while the Tesoro Route follows the Tesoro fuels
pipeline along the northwest coast of the peninsula. The impacts of co-locating the
proposed transmission line with existing pipelines are similar for both routes, and gencrally
include expansion of existing clearings and access routes. These impacts are described in
detail in the EIS.
4. Short and long term sacial, economic and environmental impacts of national, state or local
significance, including impacts on fish and wildlife and their habitat and on rural, traditional lifestyles [43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(iv)].
‘The environmental impacts of the project alternatives are assessed in the EIS. Asa
cooperating Federal agency, the Service assisted in preparation of the document,
particularly in relation to impacts to fish and wildlife, and other Kenai Refuge resources.
According to the EIS, the project will have significant adverse impacts on the following:
fish and wildlife resources; land use and recreation; visual resources; and Refuge
management plans. The proposal would also add to already significant cumulative impacts
on Refuge resources as a result of human activities in and surrounding the Kenai Refuge.
Adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources of the Kenai Refuge are considered
nationally significant because of the Congressional mandate to conserve these resources,
In light of the above considerations, the EIS identifies the Tesoro Route as the
environmentally preferred alternative.
5. The impucts, if any, on the national security interests of the United States, that may result from
the approval or denial of the application for the TUS [43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(v)].
Our denial of this right-of-way application will not affect national security interest that may
be associated with this proposed project, since a feasible alternative has been identified,
and that remains available to the IPG,
6. Any iimpacts that would affect the purposes for which the Federal unit or areca concerned was established [43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(vi)].
Our detailed findings in this regard are contained in the attached Compatibility

Determination, which is required under the National Wildlife Refuge System
Administration Act, and is also prepared in compliance with Title XI regulations at 43 CFR
36,1 (b). In summary, we have determined that the use of Refuge lands for the project as
proposed would not be compatible with the purposes for which the Kenai Refuge was
established.
7. Measures which should be instituted to avoid o or minimize negative impacts
[43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(vii)].
The EIS examines a full range of practicable measures to miligate the anticipated adverse
impacts of the proposed project, however such measures would not significantly reduce the
impacts sufficient to make the use compatible with Kenai Refuge purposes.
8. The short and long term public values which may be adversely affected by approval of the TUS
versus the short and long term public benefits which may accrue from such approval
[43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(viii)}.
No comparison of public values and benefits is necessary, since we will not approve the
right-of-way for the project as proposed. ;
9. Impacts, if any, on subsistence uses [43 CFR 36.7 (a)(2)(ix)}.
Our denial of the right-of-way application for the project as proposed will have no impacts
on current subsistence uses of the Kenai Refuge.
Summary
Based on the factors discussed above, we have decided to deny issuing a right-of-way permit to the
IPG for the Southern Intertie project as proposed. We have established an administrative record
containing the documentation used in reaching this decision, including all documents associated
with preparation of the ELS and Refuge Compatibility Determination.
