Dear Mr. Tetherow:
This is to provide you with comments from this office and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge on
the Biological Resources portion of Chapter 4, and the Map Set for the Southern Intertie Project
EVAL. Due to the short review time during the busy field work season, some staff reviewers
were not available at this time, and we understand that some tables and maps are still undergoing
final revision. However, we believe that the content and organization of the EVAL is now
sufficient to provide a basis from which the Rural Utilities Service can begin preparing the
preliminary draft EIS for the proposed project.
GENERAL:
Chapter 4 contains a great amount of information with regard to potential impacts of the proposed project down to the level of individual route segments. However, the agencies will base right-of-way decisions on a comparison of alternative routes, which should be highlighted
throughout the EVAL.
Foreseen and unforeseen cumulative effects will, in time, reduce the suitability of the northem
portion of the Kenai NWR as wildlife habitat. Conversely, degradation of habitats and wildlife populations will occur along the Tesoro route whether the project is built or not. The area is
largely platted, subdivided, and slated for development. In a cumulative effects analysis, this
cannot be understated.
Throughout the Chapter, impacts are discussed on the habitat conditions as they exist, which is as it should be. However, in the cumulative impacts section, and the discussions of long-term
impacts, it needs to be pointed out that habitat conditions can change dramatically, and thus
statements like the Mystery Creek area being low lynx density, therefore is no significant impact, is only true for now. A significant fire in the northern portion of Game Management Unit 15A,
may result in this area becoming the next “hot spot” for critters like moose, hare, and lynx. An event of this type is not improbable during the life of the line.
In relation to potential bird strikes, the cumulative effects analysis did not adequately address the _ Specific number of utility corridors already in place across the peninsula. Also, the potential bird collision hazard can not be dismissed by stating that collision with power lines has not been
wee ee sr eS & MUU Poa
identified in the literature as a major source of mortality in birds in Alaska (page 4-9), especially if
no research has been conducted to specifically address the number of bird strikes in Alaska.

The following additional discussion points should be added to

1. Examples of why certain lands within the KNWR
are not fully protected (i.e., Native selections and
conveyance, Federal oil and gas leases, etc.)
2. Examples of the types of future development that
are reasonably foreseeable, such as timber harvesting, oil and gas field development, and lodge and resort
development. As corporations for profit, Native
inholders will seek a positive return from their land
holdings.
3. Which species are already considered to be

The statement is made that “the potential for long-term

not possible to predict, there will be some hazard that will

project. Please contact Brian Anderson at (907) 786-3379 if you have questions or need

ITEMS DISCUSSED:
| informed Larry that we had received the comments from the KNWR on the EVAL Biology impact
section. Of the two pages of comments, one page is general, focusing on cumulative impacts, and the
other page consists of specific comments that are primarily requested word changes. As a result of the
brief comments from KNWR, | told Larry that we would incorporate them into the EVAL. Brian Anderson
has promised his comments by June 21. Assuming his comments are brief, we will incorporate them
also. That way we can confirm that the EVAL reflects the review of the FWS on the biology sections.
Larry said that he is looking forward to getting started on the EIS with Mangi Environmental. We will send
two copies to RUS and two to Mangi.

MAIN SUBJECT: Changes to SIP EVAL Biology Maps
ITEMS DISCUSSED:
We had a conference call with Brian Anderson and Roy Baker, Dames & Moore GIS specialist to review
the map changes with Brian. Brian had sent a new FWS jurisdiction map for our use. Due to the
complexity of the categories of native, state, and FWS lands, we developed a simplified legend. We also
reviewed all of the changes in land status and will incorporate them into the Land Jurisdiction and
cumulative impact maps. We also discussed all of the biology maps. There were no specific changes
with the maps from Brian, and he had not received any comments from the KNWR. We agreed that we
would proceed with printing the biology maps.
Brian informed us that he had just received the comments from the KNWR, and that there were only two
pages. | asked him to fax them. Upon review, it is apparent that we will be able to respond to most of
them and still meet our schedule. Brian said that he had not reviewed the report yet, but would provide
comments by June 21.
