January 14, 2000 Revision of the Memorandum of Understanding with RUS and USFWS 3. Letter of January 7, 2000 to RUS/USFWS and COE SUMMARY A draft outline of the EIS has been presented by RUS’ consultant MANGI and has been accepted by the federal agencies. The Memorandum of Understanding between the federal agencies and the IPG has been revised again to reflect that the US Army Corps of Engineers will not participate in the EIS preparation. The COE will use the EIS developed by the RUS/USFWS for their permitting reviews. We have expressed our concern over possible criticism of the COE’s non participation at a later time to all three agencies (see letter in Section VI). We will invite State and local agencies to review the Environmental Analysis (EVAL) in the next month to allow their staff to familiarize itself with the proposed route and the remaining alternative. The MOU between the agencies and the applicant (IPG) requires that the Applicant print the DEIS. The DEIS is expected to be available in May. Funding for the printing and distribution is presently not in place and needs be secured from AIDEA prior to April 30, 2000.

The schedule indicates that the DEIS will be completed by June 2, 2000. The Record of Decision is scheduled for January 2, 2001. RUS’s third party contractor is currently preparing the DEIS on this schedule. Task Comments: The primary work accomplished in December was the agency and project team meetings in Anchorage on December 14 and 15, 1999, along with preparation and follow-up for those meetings. The meetings were budgeted and completed under the Task 1 — Technical Support budget. At that meeting, the MOU was also updated (Task 6) and the COE was briefed (Task 7, Randy Pollock and Tim Tetherow met with Jack Hewitt from the Corps). While no time has been charged to Tasks 6 and 7, at least part of the planned effort for updating the MOU and briefing the COE has been completed, so we have shown these two tasks as 50% complete.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN RURAL UTILITIES SERVICE, U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, AND CHUGACH ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC. FOR ANILCA AND NEPA COMPLIANCE FOR THE SOUTHERN INTERTIE PROJECT RUS: USFWS: 1448-70181-97-K004 CEA: E9590081 I. | INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE Six electric utilities that are collectively known as the Intertie Participants Group (IPG) have proposed to construct a new transmission line in Alaska. The IPG consists of Chugach Electric Association, Inc. (Chugach); Municipality of Anchorage - Municipal Light and Power; City of Seward - Seward Electric System; Matanuska Electric Association, Inc.; Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc. (GVEA); and Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA). These six utilities are jointly identified as the Applicant. The proposal, which is referred to as the Southern Intertie Project (Proposed Project), consists of the construction and operation of a 230kV transmission line and associated facilities to be operated initially at 138kV between Anchorage and a location on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Chugach will act as the construction manager for the Proposed Project. One or more of the alternative routes being considered would cross the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, a designated conservation system unit under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) P.L. 96-487). Therefore regulations implementing Title XI of ANILCA will apply to the entire project (43 CFR Part 36). The Title XI Transportation/Utility Systems Permit Application has been filed with and accepted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Rural Utilities Service and Corps of Engineers. Whereas Federal lands and/or Federal financing assistance may be required, the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), will be the Lead Agency; and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will be a Cooperating Agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. These agencies will be collectively referred to as the Federal Agencies. It is the purpose of this memorandum to establish an understanding between the Lead Agency, Cooperating Agency and Applicant regarding the conditions and procedures to be followed in compliance with ANILCA provisions and preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) through a joint Applicant/Agency effort. The EIS will be prepared in compliance with NEPA, as implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulations 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 and RUS environmental policies and procedures (7 CFR Part 1794) plus the pertinent regulations of the USFWS and COE as appropriate. © \Wau\annalisa'worddoes\gropp south tiemoy_12_99, doc January 14, 2000 Page 1 of 5 The objective of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which supersedes the original MOU executed on July 25, 1997, is to ensure the timely preparation of an EIS that (a) satisfies the environmental review requirements of the participating Federal Agencies and other applicable Federal environmental regulations and legislative requirements; and (b) establishes a process to conduct an environmental review of the alternatives identified that would meet the needs of the IPG. The Federal Agencies have agreed to achieve consensus on the process and content of the EIS, and the decision- making in accordance with their applicable laws and regulations. The EIS will be prepared by a third-party contractor under the direction of the Lead Agency with assistance from the other Federal Agencies. To facilitate the environmental review process, the Applicant has provided an Environmental Analysis (EVAL). The EIS will be based on the EVAL prepared by the Applicant’s Consultant. The Applicant and its Consultant will also provide technical assistance for the EIS preparation, as required. II. JOINT RESPONSIBILITIES The Federal Agencies and Applicant, to the extent of their involvement and jurisdiction in the Proposed Project, shall: m= Identify the significant issues to be studied, identify the project alternatives to be studied and the environmentally preferred alternative, and coordinate the decision process. = Actively participate in all phases of the EIS preparation as specified in the attached schedule.

We are still concerned that the somewhat ambiguous status of the COE as presently outlined in the revised MOU could lead to a challenge to the entire process. It is our interpretation of the CEQ guidance documents that an agency with “jurisdiction by law,” e.g. an agency that has to issue a permit for a project, has to be a cooperating agency in the NEPA process. A brief review of the proposed construction methods after our meeting on December 14,1999 have lead to the understanding that the COE may or may not have to issue a Section 404 (Clean Water Act) permit for land section(s) of the tie. The COE would however have jurisdiction over the submarine portion of the project under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. Chugach installed submarine cables in 1999 in Knik Arm and was issued a permit under both Section 404 and Section 10. While regulations governing the NEPA process for individual federal agencies do not interpret the participation of a cooperating agency, the CEQ regulations do. It is our reading of the CEQ regulations that COE must be a cooperating agency if its has jurisdiction by law over the project. The CEQ guidance documents also indicate, however, that COF’s role as a cooperating agency does not have to be particularly burdensome. We request that this issue be reviewed again so that COE can participate under the MOU as a cooperating agency without undue burden or drain on resources. Sincerely, Ov. < fey Dora L. Gropp, P.E.
