ALASKA ECONOMICS, INCORPORATED THE RENEWABLE ENERGY GROUP RECEIVED IAN 99 y009 ALASKA POWER AUTHORITY Proposal to Alaska Power Authority Kake-Petersburg Intertie Detailed Feasibility Analysis by Ebasco Services Incorporated in association with R and M Consultants, Inc. Alaska Economics, Incorporated The Renewable Energy Group EBASCO SERVICES INCORPORATED EBASCO 4040 148th Avenue, NE, Redmond, WA 98052, (206) 881-5888 January 28, 1982 Alaska Power Authority 334 West 5th Avenue, Second Floor Anchorage, Alaska 99501 SUBJECT: AKE- = PR Gentlemen: Enclosed you will find three copies of the Ebasco Services Incorporated proposal for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie - Detailed Feasibility Analysis. Ebasco has assembled a team of consultants to perform these studies from Juneau and Anchorage. R and M Consultants, Inc., located in Juneau will provide civil and geotechnical engineering services, geologic and land surveying expertise and mapping work. R and M Consultants' significant transmission line work experience in Southeast Alaska (Snettisham to Juneau; Green Lake) will be drawn upon to assure that experience gained in working in the area is brought to the study of the Kake to Petersburg Intertie. Energy demand forecasts will be provided by Alaska Economics Incorporated for the Village of Kake. The firm which is located in Juneau and has significant Alaska economic forecasting experience, is well situated to access economic and demographic data compiled by the State of Alaska and utility system information which will be required from the Tlingit-Haida Regional Electrical Authority, operator of the Kake utility. The Renewable Energy Group of Anchorage will focus their expertise on analyzing the potential for weatherization of existing and new building stock, insulation, passive solar opitons, wind energy, as well as heat pumps and wood furnaces. Firm experience, resulting from such projects as a recently completed design and installation of a wind generator at Skagway and state-of-the-art work in evaluating the cost and perf ormance of conservation, solar and wood heat technologies in Alaska, wil] contribute to the thorough evaluation of these alternatives to the transmission intertie. The study team work effort will be directed at evaluating the transmission intertie and its options by the Ebasco Project Manager, William D. Kitto. Mr. Kitto (BS Civil and Geologic Engineering - Princeton; MS Forestry - Washington) who has served as Project Manager on two previous Ebasco transmission line routing studies, is particularly well suited for this assignment which must be closely Alaska Power Authority January 28, 1982 ‘ Page 2 coordinated with the U.S. Forest Service, other federal and state agencies, and the subconsultants. His previous project management assignments have required him to exercise leadership over a team of subconsultants and work closely with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, local governments, and native indian tribes in seeking acceptable transmission line routes over private and public lands. The project team which has been assembled will be anchored by a group of Ebasco professionals well experienced in studying energy delivery options in Southeast Alaska. Study team members have developed an independent cost estimate for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie, evaluated the hydroelectric development potential of the Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Creek Projects, and updated cost estimates for the Tyee Lake Project. Other team members have conducted studies at over 100 rural communities in Alaska and have brought their observations, results, and conclusions to rural villagers in such extreme locations as Atka Village in the Aleutians, Venetie north of the Yukon Flats and the New Chenega townsite on Evans Island in Prince William Sound. The Ebasco team stands ready to meet the needs of the Power Authority and the village residents of Kake. As you proceed with the evaluation of this proposal, feel free to contact Stephen 0. Simmons or me regarding any questions which may arise. Very truly yours, ih, hn Mumm ngineering Manager JFM:1j1 Attachments FOREWORD Ebasco Services Incorporated conducted field reconnaissance of the project area in August, 1981 as part of its study of the cost of a Kake-Petersburg Intertie. Photographs of that field reconnaissance follow. To prepare for this study Ebasco has met with Mr. Gordon Edgars of the U.S. Forest Service and other interested parties to develop an enhanced understanding of local and regional concerns regarding the routing of this transmission line.

Alaska Residents Ebasco Services Incorporated has secured the services of firms located within the State of Alaska to perform 48.6 percent of the total work effort, as measured by the cost of professional services. Further, because of the field reconnaissance activities, 51.2 percent of the total estimated study expenditures represent costs incurred within the State. In terms of manhours, the breakdown of the base proposal work effort is as follows: Number of Professionals Manhours Total Project Team 33 4,277 Alaska Residents 10 1,917 Total Expended in Alaska Expenditures for Logistical and Other NonmProfessional $48,887 $31,492 Support b. Professional Engineer Registration Ebasco Services Incorporated is duly registered and authorized to perfrom the services requested in accordance with the statutes - (AS08.48.281) governing the practice of the profession of engineering in Alaska. The corporate authorization number is C-278. The business license number is BL-067100; SIC-7392. 1.0 PROJECT CONCEPT The high cost of diesel fuel and further expected escalation in the cost of that fuel places a significant burden on the residents of Kake. Electricity is supplied from the Tlingit and Haida Regional Electric Authority (THREA). Recommendations based on previous preliminary studies performed in 1979 and 1981 suggest that the optimum alternative to satisfy the power requirements of Kake is the construction of a transmission line from Petersburg to Kake. This transmission line would be energized with power from the Tyee Lake project and interconnected to the existing transmission system which presently serves the town of Petersburg. The previously conducted studies suggest that the transmission line would be energized not later than December 1983. The scope of services included in the detailed feasibility analysis requires a reevaluation and update of previously performed studies as well as more detailed engineering, environmental, load forecasting and alternative energy studies to assess project feasibility and meet permitting requirements in the given time frame. The detailed feasibility analysis of the Kake-Petersburg Intertie may alter the previous conclusions which are summarized in reports by Ebasco (1981), IECO (1981), and Harza (1979). The parts that require special attention with regard to the transmission intertie include: - the route selection; and - the cost estimates. Both proposed routes, as shown in Figure 1-1, cross environmentally sensitive areas in the Tongass National Forest and require the use of submarine cables. Crossings of the Duncan Canal and Wrangell Narrows must both be assessed along with over forty miles of overhead transmission lines. 1-1 woud HL waa a ut . | t CATHEDRAL | FALLS “Gj HyDRO SITE pes eu mie Ast ye m, if Yv ree. .

Mr. Gordon Edgars indicated that the Forest Service will develop an environmental assessment consistent with the NEPA guidelines for that portion of the route that crosses Tongass National Forest lands. This assessment is needed prior to the time that the Forest Service will issue a right-of-way permit. Since approximately 95 percent of the transmission line crosses National Forest lands the Forest Service's studies will provide most of the environmental input which will be necessary to satisfy the regulations (3ACC 94.060) governing feasibility studies in Alaska as they pertain to air quality, water quality, fish and wildlife impacts, land use impacts and ownership, terrestrial impacts, recreation resource value, and visual impacts. For those small segments of the line that cross lands which are owned by public entities other than the Forest Service, or private parties (about 5 miles), Ebasco staff will consult with agencies and landowners and accomplish the environmental studies as necessary to properly assess the impact of the proposed transmission line. Ebasco has determined, after carefully evaluating previous reports, the identified transmission plans and routes, and the tasks set forth in the RFP, that there are two key decisions which have to be made if the Kake-Petersburg transmission line intertie is to be developed. The first decision is what transmission line plan and route best meets the requirements of Kake and the existing transmission system. The second decision is what alternative means of meeting Kake's future energy requirements is most economic and feasible. Ebasco proposes to address these issues utilizing a work program which is described in Section 7.0. It is comprised of the following principal elements: 1-3 1) Perform Field Investigations Necessary to Assess Transmission Line Feasibility Field studies will include surveying and mapping, geology and soils investigations, bathymetric surveys of the underwater crossings, climatological studies and environmental data collection. The soils, foundation, and geological studies are of importance for the Kake-Petersburg intertie in that no significant previous subsurface work has been done. Evaluation of the foundation conditions and physical hazards in the area is also essential to evaluation of system reliability. Define the Preferred Transmission Route Conceptual engineering studies will be performed which will initially consider the two preferred transmission routes. As the study progresses, the less desirable route from the standpoint of exposure to physical hazards or environmental constraints will be eliminated. The final phase of the conceptual engineering work effort will be definition of an optimum route. Evaluate Alternatives Three energy plans will be selected and developed on a conceptual level, with the single most favorable plan being recommended. The final recommendation will be based upon the technical, environmental, and economic merits of the alternatives. The three plans include: a) The "Base Case Plan" Alternative 1 - This is a plan that would result from a continuation of present generating practices in Kake. It consists of continuation and expansion of diesel generation. It would include an evaluation of the ability of the existing units as shown in Table 1-1 to meet current and 1-4 4) future electric loads (see Table 1-2). Ebasco will examine the existing diesel generating plant and develop an independent forecast of electric energy requirements to confirm the capability of the existing system to meet forecasted loads. Alternative No. 2 - The second alternative energy plan to continuing the present form of generation will consist of a transmission line between Kake and Petersburg following one of two routes identified by IECO (1981). Consideration will be given to the implementation of conservation options in association with the transmission intertie. Alternative No. 3 - This plan will consider other methods of energy generation in lieu of the "Base Case" and exclusive of the Kake to Petersburg intertie. Several generation alternatives will be studied for integration into a central generating system that would serve Kake. The generating methods that will be investigated will include such options as biomass fired cogeneration, hydroelectric power from Cathedral Falls (750 kW) and Gunnuk Creek (1800 kW), as well as a single centralized diesel generating plant with each alternative, supplemented by conservation. Other alternatives will include combinations such as wind power supplemented by diesel or hydroelectric generation. From these alternatives one, or possibly two, will be selected as representative for Alternative No. 3. If a thermal generating system is the preferred Alternative No. 3 choice, then waste heat recovery as cogeneration or district heating will also be considered. Estimate Construction Cost and Schedule A feasibility-level construction cost estimate will be prepared which will provide costs for all the major accounts. The cash flow requirements will be estimated, to facilitate computation of interest during construction and the total financial requirements for the project. A design and construction schedule will also be prepared. 1-5 TABLE 1-1 POWER AND ENERGY GENERATION REQUIREMENTS2/ 1978 (actual) Peak Demand, kW THREA 430 Cold Storage - Energy Generation, Mwh/yr THEA 1690 Cold Storage - 1/ Rural Electric Administration 1-6 1983 560 370 2220 1170 1988 680 370 2670 1170 1993 820 530 3220 1680 TABLE 1-2 KAKE ELECTRIC POWER AND ENERGY REQUIREMENTSL/ With Cold Storage Without Cold Storage Year KW _MWh_ kW MWh 1980 482 1902 482 1902 1981 508 2008 508 2008 1982 534 2114 534 2114 1983 777 3390 560 2220 1984 801 3480 584 2310 1985 825 ~ 3570 608 2400 1986 849 3660 632 2490 1987 873 3750 656 2580 1988 897 3840 680 2670 1989 944 4042 708 2780 1990 991 4264 736 2890 1991 1038 4476 764 3000 1992 1085 4688 792 3110 1993 1132 4900 820 3220 1994 1160 5013 848 3333 1995 1188 5126 876 3446 1996 1216 5238 904 3558 1997 1244 5351 932 3671 1998 1272 5464 960 3784 1999 1300 5575 988 3895 2000 1328 5685 1016 4005 l/ Source: IECO 1981 1-7 5) 6) 7) Assessment of Environmental Impacts The environmental impact associated with development of the transmission line and its alternatives will be assessed, and potential mitigative measures identified. The U.S. Forest Service will cooperate in completing these studies on lands administered by the Tongass National Forest. A cooperative approach is proposed which envisions that the environmental studies of this feasbility study will fulfill the Forest Service NEPA requirements. This procedure was discussed with Mr. Gordon Edgars during telephone discussions on January 14, 1982 and meetings on January 21, 1982 in Petersburg, Alaska and is supported by the Forest Service. Perform Economic, Financial, and Marketing Analysis of Project These studies will assess the economic viability of the project, alternatives for project financing and marketability of power transmitted by the line. These analyses will include an assessment of economic and financial risks associated with development of the project. , Organization of Public Participation Program A program will be organized in coordination with the Power Authority which will include meeting at specified intervals with concerned Federal, state and local agencies, as well as the general public in Kake, Wrangell, and Petersburg. Documentation of these meetings and agency correspondence will be included as necessary in the final feasibility report. In order to insure that the study objective is realized, Ebasco will utilize the team concept of project management and will work closely with the subconsultants, R and M Consultants, Inc. (Juneau), the Renewable Energy Group (Anchorage), and Alaska Economics, Incorporated (Juneau). The work plan will conform to the requirements of the Power Authority. It will require approximately six months to complete and culminate with the submittal of a feasibility report to the Alaska Power Authority by September 1, 1982. 1-8 2.0 CAPABILITIES OF PARTICIPATING FIRMS Ebasco Services Incorporated has assembled a team of firms with significant experience in studying the energy resources of Southeast Alaska. Included on the study team are R and M Consultants, Inc. of Juneau, Alaska Economics Incorporated (Juneau), and the Renewable Energy Group (Anchorage). Together these firms have an extensive amount of experience in evaluating transmission line alternatives, and hydroelectric potential, analyzing energy conservation options, and developing energy forecasts in Alaska. A discussion of the capabilities of Ebasco Services Incorporated, R and M Consultants, Alaska Economics Incorporated, and the Renewable Energy Group is provided below: 2.1 EBASCO SERVICES INCORPORATED - SEATTLE, WASHINGTON Ebasco and its major operating departments (i.e., Envirosphere Company, Ebasco Business Consulting, etc.) have been serving the electric utility industry for 75 years on a worldwide basis.

The study required that he perform as arbitrator and economic analyst to determine the optimal boundaries of the City of Nome and the most equitable method of payment for city services. Principal interest groups involved in the study included the City of Nome, the local native corporation, residents living just outside of the then present city limits, and the Alaska Gold Company. In his "Economic Impact of Alternative Fiscal and Energy Programs" study for the New England Regional Commission, Dr. Reaume performed a forecasting of economic activity, and energy demand and supply for a "no-change" development policy as well as various other energy development alternatives. 2-5 2.4 THE RENEWABLE ENERGY GROUP - ANCHORAGE, ALASKA The Renewable Energy Group (REG) is an Anchorage-based consulting firm specializing in renewable energy systems. REG has been active in energy conservation studies in Alaska since 1979, and has considerable experience in Alaska in design of wind systems and assessment of their potential as well as in the design of energy conservation measures in rural Alaska. The firmhas just completed design and installation of a wind generator at Skagway which contributes practical working experience in Southeast Alaska. Other assignments include a wind generator intertie design for the Bethel National Guard Armory. In the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, REG has designed wind systems for Pilot Station, Sheldon Point, and Chevak. This local experience coupled with over a dozen working wind projects in the State make REG well suited for perf orming accurate construction cost estimates. REG's work in village and regional wind energy analysis is highlighted by recent work on the Bristol Bay Regional Power Plan, and a village scale integrated energy system for the Norton Sound Area. REG has also been active in solar design, energy audits, and economic analysis of conservation retrofits on existing homes in rural Alaska. 3.0 PROJECT EXPERIENCE Ebasco Services Incorporated and its subconsultants R and M Consultants, Alaska Economics, Incorporated, and the Renewable Energy Group, have a significant amount of experience in the evaluation of transmission lines, hydroelectric projects, environmental impact assessment, geotechnical engineering, load forecasting, economic studies, and licensing experience that is similar to the work effort proposed for the Kake-Petersburg transmission line intertie detailed feasibility analysis. Ebasco has selected three projects for which the work tasks closely parallel the work effort required during the proposed analysis. These projects, as well as further examples of Ebasco's , R and M Consultants, Alaska Economics, Incorporated, and The Renewable Energy Group experience, are provided in the following sections. 3.1 EBASCO PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS Detailed project descriptions that demonstrate the broad capabilities of Ebasco are as follows :2/ 1. Kake-Petersburg Transmission Line Cost Estimate - describes responsibilities for engineering review and cost estimating studies for a 34.5 kV, 3 phase transmission line that follows the southerly route as reported by IECO in their 1981 reconnaissance study. —' To provide a variety of references (including some outside the State of Alaska), Ebasco has purposely not included in the list of three projects, its studies of the Bradley Lake to Kodiak submarine cable, the Railbelt Electrical Power Alternatives Study, or the work done for the Alaska District Corps of Engineers. Mr. Remy Williams at the Alaska Power Authority is familiar with the Ebasco work product on the Kodiak assignment as is Loran Baxter at the Alaska District [(907) 552-3461] regarding small hydropower reconnaissance surveys and Jeff King at Battelle [(509) 376-4741] regarding the Railbelt Study. 2. Pacific Power and Light Transmission Line Routing Study - describes Ebasco experience in routing studies, including environmental studies of 125 miles of 500 kV transmission line. 3. Bonneville Power Administration - describes Ebasco studies to identify suitable routes for approximately 55 miles of 230 kV transmission line. Kake-Petersburg Transmission Line Cost Estimate 1. Project Name - Kake-Petersburg Transmission Cost Estimate 2. Date of Completion - September 1981 3. Location of the Project - 45 miles of 34.5 kV transmission line route between Kake and Petersburg, Alaska 4. Contract Cost - $14,000 5. Client - Alaska Power Authority, Remy Williams (907) 276-0001 6. (Description of Services - In Septenber, 1981, Ebasco prepared an independent "budgetary estimate" for the construction of a 34.5 kV, three-phase transmission line interconnection between Kake and Petersburg, Alaska. Two alternative energization voltages were considered for the routing as identified in the January 1981 report entitled "Transmission Intertie, Kake-Petersburg, Alaska, A Reconnaissance Report." The project cost estimate included 45 miles of overhead conductor, 2 miles of submarine cable, and 2 substations. Alternative No. 1 included a Petersburg substation direct connection to the 24.9 kV line from the Crystal Lake Hydro project, and a Kake substation to stepdown the voltage from 24.9 kV to 7.2 kV. Alternative No. 2 included a Petersburg substation to stepdown the voltage from the Tyee Lake Transmission Line voltage (138 kV) to 34.5 kV, and a Kake substation to stepdown the voltage from 34.5 kV to 7.2 kV. The selected line capacity of both alternatives was sufficient to provide up to 1.5 MW of capacity from either the Crystal Lake or Tyee Lake hydroelectric projects or Petersburg diesel units. 3-2 A project site visit, aerial reconnaissance of the proposed route alignment, available Alaska transmission construction experience, and USGS topographic, soils, and geologic maps were utilized to produce the project cost estimates. The format of the May, 1981 level cost estimate was presented in accordance with the FERC Code of Accounts, using REA Standards, vendor quotes, mechanical and electrical price book data, and Ebasco experience. The cost estimate and basis of estimate information were prepared on time and within the budget proposed to the Alaska Power Authority. Eugene-Medford Transmission Line Study 1. Project Name - Eugene-Medford Transmission Line Routing Studies 2. Date of Completion - October 1982 3. Location of Project - Approximately 125 miles of 500 kV transmission line between Eugene and Medford, Oregon 4. Contract Cost - $291,688 5. Client - Pacific Power and Light Company, Dr. Paul Higgins (503) 243-1122 6. Description of Services - Ebasco (Envirosphere) is conducting studies for Pacific Power and Light Company concerning the replacement of an existing 230 kV line with a 500 kV line. The purpose of the new line is to strengthen the reliability of service to southern Oregon. The objective of the study is to assist Pacific in formulating alternative routes in the urbanized areas of Eugene and Medford and fulfilling the requirements of NEPA. Throughout the transmission corridor various design options and specific routes have been evaluated. Options were considered such as paralleling the existing corridor, replacing the existing line with a double-circuit line, various tower designs, and realigning the corridor in segments of the route. Ebasco prepared two reports that identified baseline conditions, alternate routes, and impacts of those alternatives on the environment. These reports are supporting documents to the environmental impact statement. The draft environmental impact 3-3 statement is being prepared currently, which identifies a preferred route and presents the impacts of that route as well as alternative routes. Throughout the study Ebasco has worked closely with Pacific in conducting public workshops and meetings and responding to various concerns regarding the alternatives under consideration. Flathead Valley Reinforcement Project 1. 2. 3. Project Name - Flathead Valley Reinforcement Project Date of Completion - March 1983 Location of Project - Approximately 55 miles of 230 kV transmission line route between Hot Springs (substation) and Columbia Falls, Montana. Contract Cost - $202,900 Client - Bonneville Power Administration, Judy Woodward (503) 230-4995 Description of Services - Ebasco (Envirosphere) is conducting studies on reinforcing the electrical service in the Flathead Valley through the construction of an additional 230 kV line. The role of Ebasco is to assist BPA fulfill the requirements under NEPA so that BPA can serve the electrical load requirements in the Flathead Valley. The objective of the study is to select the transmission line route that would meet the anticipated load growth while minimizing impacts to the environment. The effort required multiple disciplines, including geology, terrestrial and aquatic ecology, hydrology, land use, visual resources, forestry, and agriculture. Two alternative routes including options within each alternative are being studied. Ebasco is preparing an environmental impact statement which will examine the alternative routes as well as the no-action alternative. Within each alternative specific routes and design options, such as paralleling existing corridors or replacing existing lines with double-circuit lines, are being addressed. Various tower design options are being evaluated for costs and compatibility with the landscape. A study report that provides Supporting data will be prepared as a companion document to the environmental impact statement. 3-4 In addition to report preparation, Ebasco is assisting BPA in conducting public meetings and workshops. A concern of special interest in this study is to ensure that the EIS takes into account the needs of the Flathead Tribe (officially, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe). All study activities are being planned carefully with other BPA activities. 3.2 EBASCO'S ADDITIONAL RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE Ebasco has a considerable amount of experience extending beyond the three aforementioned projects. This experience relates to the planning, design, and construction of transmission lines, hydroelectric power projects, and environmental licensing and impact assessment. This experience is summarized in the following paragraphs. 3.2.1 Transmission Line Experience Electric utilities throughout the world have selected Ebasco to plan, design, engineer, and construct more than 25,000 miles of high voltage and extra high voltage transmission and substation projects. Dependable performance, structural integrity, "on-time" completion and low maintenance costs were fundamental requirements of each of these projects. Achieving these objectives at minimum cost has required the coordinated services of Ebasco system planning engineers, electrical engineers, designers, structural specialists, geotechnical engineers, metallurgists, purchasing, inspectors, expeditors, estimators, and construction superintendents. These coordinated efforts of Ebasco teams has gained international recognition in advancing transmission line development. Engineering and related efforts are supported by extensive design guides, up-to-date cost and estimating data, current operating performance records, advance computer facilities, a modern metallurgical laboratory, and other in-house services. 3-5 Ebasco has also designed and constructed electrical supply distribution systems for cities throughout the U.S. and in many other countries. Included in this broad experience has been the installation of new electrical distribution systems as well as the improvement and modification to existing systems. Load bases have included shopping malls, mobile home parks, industrial centers, high rise apartments, and housing developments in addition to the design engineering and construction of distribution systems for entire cities. Systems installed by Ebasco have been overhead and underground, and have used the latest technology for higher voltages, improvement in appearance and reliability, and accessibility and ease of maintenance. Recent Ebasco transmission projects are listed in Table 3-1. These projects illustrate the broad range of Ebasco's transmission 1 ine experience. 3.2.2 Alaska Power Authority - Cost Estimating Ebasco has been retained by the Alaska Power Authority to develop cost estimates for a number of small and large hydroelectric projects in Alaska. Projects for which Ebasco has evaluated and developed independent cost estimates include the 20 MW Terror Lake Hydro Project on Kodiak Island, the Tyee Lake Hydro Project in southeast Alaska, near Wrangell, Alaska and the 135 MW Bradley Hydro Project on the Kenai Peninsula. Ebasco has also developed transmission line conceptual design and cost estimates for the Power Authority. These include the proposed 120 mile long submarine cable from Bradley Lake to Kodiak, which includes a 45-mile long submarine cable. In addition, Ebasco has developed conceptual engineering and cost estimates for the 30 MW Kodiak coal-fired steam electric station. This estimate was performed as a portion of the Terror Lake hydro plant study. It provides a basis for evaluating the hydroelectric project through comparison with an appropriate fossil energy alternative.

Ebasco is also in the process of developing an independent feasibility level cost estimate for the 1500 MW Susitna hydroelectric project. This estimate will be completed in March, 1982. The Susitna project includes two dams and reservoirs on the Susitna River in the Talkeetna Mountains of southcentral Alaska. This project will have the highest dam in North America; an 880-foot-high earth and rockfill dam. 3.2.3 Hydroelectric Project Engineering Experience Since the early 1900s, Ebasco has had extensive experience with the design, engineering, and construction of low, medium, and high head hydroelectric power plants. These projects have ranged from very small units with capacities of less than 500 kW to large, multiple head pumped-s torage projects with capacities of more than 1,800,000 kW. During the last seventy-five years, Ebasco has performed the engineering and/or construction of over 100 hydroelectric units with a total installed capacity of over 8500 MW. Major projects for which Ebasco has provided services during the past 15 years are identified in Table 3-2. These plants have been constructed throughout the United States and in 15 foreign countries, including 47 projects located in the Pacific Northwest. A listing of all Ebasco hydropower projects is presented in Table 3-3. 3.2.4 Environmental and Licensing Experience Ebasco and its environmental consulting division, Envirosphere, have provided the full spectrum of environmental and licensing services for hundreds of energy projects representing over $40 billion of capital investment since 1969.

Environmental and licensing services have been provided for all types of energy projects, including hydropower, coal-fired steam electric plants, and transmission lines. Transmission Lines Ebasco has a strong background in transmission line route selection and environmental impact analysis. Alone and in association with others, Ebasco and Envirosphere have evaluated more than 72,000 square miles of area for the potential location of more than 5,300 linear miles of transmission lines ranging from 115 KV to 500 kV in single and multiple corridors. Ebasco has constructed more than 25,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines. Some of the corridor studies conducted by Ebasco and Envirosphere are listed in Table 3-4. In the corridor studies conducted by Ebasco and Envirosphere, aerial reconnaissance evaluations of transmission line routes are supplemented by omthe-ground studies as needed to assess environmental constraints on transmission line development. Emphasis is on assessing the suitability of routes for development of access roads, tower sites, and construction operations. Routes are assessed in terms of concerns such as clearing requirements, potential impacts on land use, visual impacts on important scenic resources, and other factors typically affecting transmission line routing studies. Environmental studies often overlap with engineering studies so that, for example, meteorologists work with transmission engineers in evaluating potential icing and wind loading problems, and soil scientists identify unstable areas where tranmission line development is limited by geotechnical considerations or areas where the development might affect slope stability (i.e., induce landslides) . 3-15 TABLE 3-4 RECENT EBASCO/ENVIROSPHERE TRANSMISSION LINE CORRIDOR STUDIES Phillips Pipeline Company, Trenton Conway Natural Gas Pipeline Routing Study Pacific Power and Light Co., Eugene-Medford Transmission Line Allegheny Power Systems, Transmission Line Arizona Public Service Company, Kaiparowits Transmission Line Jacksonville Electric Authority, Eastport Transmission System Minnesota Power and Light Company, Clay Boswell Transmission Line Oglethorpe Power Corp., Transmission Lines Pacific Power and Light Co., Yale Transmission System Pennsylvia Power and Light Co., Transmission Line South Carolina Electric and Gas Co., Transmission Line Oregon Public Utility Commissioner, Klamath Basin Transmission Assessment Bonneville Power Adminstration, Flathead Valley Reinforcement Transmission Line Project in Northwestern Montana U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, Bradley Lake Hydropower Project Environmental Assessment Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories, Measuring the Social Attitudes and Aesthetic and Ecological Considerations Which Influences Transmission Line Routing Seattle City Light, Copper Creek Environmental Assessment of the Visual and Recreation Affects of Transmission Lines U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, Susitna River Hydropower Project Environmental Assessment Fluor Northwest, Inc., Northwest Alaskan Pipeline Project Visual Resource Management Program Nebraska Public Power District, Visual Recreation Effects of the 500 kV Mandan Project on the Recreation Facilities of the Missouri River 3-16 Hydropower Ebasco and Envirosphere have had continuous experience with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other state and federal licensing processes concerning hydroelectric power developments. Major projects for which Ebasco has prepared FERC licenses were given in Table 3-2. Ebasco is presently providing Puget Sound Power and Light Company the engineering and environmental services necessary to successfully complete FERC preliminary permit applications and develop FERC license applications for several small hydroelectric power developments in Washington. Other Ebasco licensing effort experience in the Pacific Northwest has been in conjunction with studies, hearings, and court actions concerning a 480 MW expansion of the Yale Hydroelectric Project (the original 100 MW Project was designed and constructed by Ebasco in 1953), and the 3,430 MW Middle Snake River Development in Idaho and Oregon. basco also prepared the FERC license applications and performed engineering, procurement, and construction management services for the Pelton Hydroelectric Development on the Deschutes River and the North Fork, and Faraday Hydroelectric Developments on the Clackamas in Oregon for Portland General Electric Company. 3.2.5 Related Accomplishments In addition to engineering, environmental, and site selection work, Ebasco has experience and capability that reflects its participation and involvement in all aspects of industry activities. Ebasco's accomplishments in these service areas are capsulized in the following paragraphs. 3-17 1. Edison Electric Institute A most noteworthy recent development has been the joint Edison Electric Institute/Envirosphere Company sponsorship of the conference entitled "Environmental Licensing and Regulatory Constraints Affecting the Electric Utility Industry" held annually since 1978 in Washington, D.C. This conference is designed to focus on all current and emerging legislative and regulatory requirements affecting the siting and licensing of fossil-fueled and nuclear generating projects. 2. Envirosphere Regulatory Report (ERR) Since March 1977 Ebasco, through its consulting environmental engineering and scientific division, Envirosphere Company, has published the ERR on a monthly basis to advise government and industry decision makers in the energy arena on emerging legislative and regulatory activities and requirements affecting the planning of energy projects. ERR is issued without charge to over 400 subscribers. 3.3 R AND M CONSULTANTS, INC. - Transmission Line and Hydroelectric Projects In 1965, the R and M project manager for this proposed effort conducted studies of the Juneau to Snettisham transmission line which included photo control survey for the Juneau to Snettisham (reconnaissance study) transmission line mapping effort under a subcontract to Air Photo Tech, Inc. - Anchorage was completed. The primary designer was the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers. Since that period, R and M has worked on the Snettisham Transmission Line up to and including its latest contract in 1978. This work included the following tasks: 3-18 ° Complete control traverse, 55-nile transmission line 0 Photo control for specific mapping areas to complete the 55-mile transmission line after proposed tower sites were logged off by a contractor 0 Necessary land survey, legal description, and land monumentation of the Thane Substation for the Juneau-Snettisham Transmission Line 0 Centerline transmission corridor staking for clearing purposes of the Juneau-Snettisham Transmission Line oO Re-route surveys of transmission line re-routes that as necessitated through poor location (i.e., icing, wind blow-down, etc.) of the first transmission line construction 0 Tower foundation investigations, recommendations, and design criteria ° Layout of all transmission line towers Green Lake The City and Borough of Sitka has undertaken their own hydroelectric project. The principal consultant for this project is R.W. Beck and Associates. In 1977/1978, the Juneau office of R and M Consultants, Inc. was retained by R.W. Beck to conduct all transmission line surveys, tower location surveys, and right-of-way surveys for this transmission line. From the area of Alaska Lumber and Pulp Company 's mill to Green Lake, the right-of-way work was quite easy as all lands could be described by protracted positions of section lines (similar to the Kake-Petersburg intertie). However, from the pulp mill to the city center substation, over 400 parcels of land had to be described and located. The work was successfully accomplished in a period of less than four months. The total transmission line was 15 miles in length. Kake/ Petersburg Highway Alignment Study The project manager for R and M Consultants first assignment in Alaska with the then U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (now Federal Highway Administration) was to conduct a foot reconnaissance from Petersburg to 3-19 Kake, Alaska, for the purpose of a highway route selection. Within the routes reviewed by Retherf ord and Associates, the final road route selected was closest to Route No. 4 identified in the IECO Kake-Petersburg report. In 1960 and 1961, R and M Consultant's Mr. Menzies conducted route location survey (both preliminary and location line) of the 55-mile route from Petersburg to Kake, Alaska. The route alignment included centerline staking/profiles/cross sectioning and hydraulics/hydrology recommendations. With this past work experience R and M staff are intimately familiar with the terrain between Petersburg and Kake. 3.4 ALASKA ECONOMICS, INCORPORATED Dr. Reaume of Alaska Economics, Incorporated between October 1977 and July 1981, authored the Quarterly Report of the Alaska Economic Information and Reporting System, initially as Principal Economist for the Alaska Division of Economic Enterprise, and later as an economic consultant. Dr. Reaume's five years of Alaska forecasting provides his financial familiarity with regard to the Alaskan economy and with the detailed economics of its various industries and sub-State economies. The firm presently is working on the following studies: “Alaska Regional Cost of Living Differentials," a report to Collins, Weed, and Associates, Anchorage, Alaska, July 198. "Quarterly Report of the Alaska Economic Information and Report ing System," quarterly July 1980 through July 1981. Alaska Office of the Governor, Division of Budget and Management. "An Evaluation of the Economic and Social Impacts of the State Second Beaufort Sea 0i1 and Gas Lease Sale," April 1981, with Dames and Moore Consultants, Anchorage, prepared for the Alaska Office of the Governor. "The Anchorage Economy, 1980 to 1995, A Forecast," prepared for Landmark Research, Incorporated, Madison, Wisconsin, October 198. 3-20 3.5 THE RENEWABLE ENERGY GROUP (REG) The Renewable Energy Group has been involved in virtually all areas of energy conservation in the two years the firm has existed. Residential building design, solar and conservation analysis, and consulting, planning, and public education are areas of services provided by REG. The principals of the firm have broad experience in general energy analysis and building audits. A brief list of major projects which are similar to the analyses to be provided by REG on the Kake study include the development of: 1) 3) 4) Three Village Reconnaissance Study: Technical profiles on conservation and solar for the villages of Kiana, Ambler, and Shungnak for a reconnaissance study by Wind Systems Engineering, an Anchorage firm. In addition, REG developed loads and scenarios for future load projections for all buildings in the towns. REG has developed technical profiles for an array of renewable technologies and assisted in determining market penetration for the Railbelt Electric Power Alternatives Study. A detailed White Paper analyzing several different conservation options for 40 proposed housing units has been prepared for the North Pacific Rim housing analysis. The overall objective was to determine the optimum mix of various conservation options. REG has conducted fifty residential energy audits in the Aleutian Islands and made recommendations for improvements on a unit by unit basis. 3-21 ~— 4.0 GEOGRAPHICAL EXPERIENCE Ebasco Service Incorporated has had extensive project related engineering, environmental, licensing and logistics experience in Alaska including cost estimating services for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie and the Tyee Lake Project. In addition, an Ebasco staff member has studied the Cathedral Falls Project as part of an earlier reconnaissance level work effort (Harza 1979). Through conducting studies of four major projects (the Railbelt Electric Power Alternatives Study, the Grant Lake Hydroelectric Project, the Northeast/Southcentral Alaska Small Hydropower Study, and the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island, and Aleutian Islands Small Hydropower Study), and a number of other Alaskan assignments, Ebasco has gained a wide range of experience in evaluating the physical and natural resources of these regions of Alaska. Field reconnaissance for the small hydropower study in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island has included conducting physical surveys of hydropower sites for which Ebasco personnel arranged for aircraft and helicopter charters, on-site lodging, and transportation in an efficient and effective manner to allow for completion of field programs on schedule and within budget. Further experience in field investigation and public participation was gained during a field reconnaissance of 22 villages during August and September of 1981 for the Northeast and Southcentral Small Hydropower Reconnaissance study under contract to the Alaska District of the Corps of Engineers, with key members of the proposed Kake study team participating. This study involves the evaluation of the potential of hydropower to meet the energy demand of 66 villages. Of paramount importance in evaluating feasibility level study alternatives is the ability to prepare accurate cost estimates. Costs vary widely throughout the State of Alaska, and Ebasco possesses an extensive knowledge of current construction costs and regional 4-1 variations. Ebasco was retained to study the Kake-Petersburg Transmission Line Interconnection which consists of 47 miles of 34.5 kV transmission lines including 45 miles of 3 phase overhead conductors, 2 miles of submarine cable, and 2 switchyards. A budget level cost estimate was prepared for this project. In addition, Ebasco is preparing a conceptual design and detailed cost estimate of a 120 mile transmission system which may supply Bradley Lake hydropower to Kodiak, as well as a cost estimate of the Bradley Lake and Susitna hydropower projects. Ebasco engineers also recently completed a detailed cost estimate review on the Tyee Lake Hydroelectric Project, and in a similar effort for the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project, Ebasco prepared an independent cost estimate, as well as a conceptual design and cost estimate for the next best alternative, a 30 MW coal-fired power plant. In another coal-fired power plant conceptual design study effort for Placer Amex, Inc., Ebasco evaluated the feasibility, performed preliminary engineering, and developed a detailed cost estimate for two 200 MW coal-fired units for the Beluga coal-f ield area. Cost estimates were also prepared for numerous hydropower sites in the small hydropower study completed last year for the Aleutian Islands, Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak Island and are currently being developed for the communities associated with the Northeast/ Southcentral hydropower study. 4.1 REGULATORY ASPECTS The Ebasco environmental and licensing divison (Envirosphere) is responsible for the front-end work to determine environmental acceptability of proposed projects. Ebasco has continuous experience with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other state and federal licensing processes. Ebasco, through its study of Railbelt electrical power alternatives, has completed a regulatory review of federal and state regulations which would pertain to the siting, construction and operation of 15 generating technologies in Alaska. The regulatory reviews include analyses of functional characteristics of power plant operation in Alaska, and provides an assessment of the design requirements which must be met in order for power generating facilities to satisfy regulatory requirements. Ebasco specifically has identified the following requirements for siting power plants within Alaska in an acceptable manner from a regulatory standpoint: 1. Water resource impacts associated with steam cycle power plants 2. Aquatic impacts associated with steam cycle power plants 3. Air emissions from fuel combustion technologies 4. Socioeconomic impacts associated with energy development 5. Aesthetic evaluations regarding power plant siting 6. Waste heat rejection systems of steam cycle power plants 4.2 REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS The successful completion of the Kake-Petersburg Detailed Feasibility Analysis will require data collection and analysis efforts in all areas of the engineering, economic, and environmental sciences. Disciplines included in these categories include electrical and civil engineering, geology, climatology/meteorology, hydrology, aquatic and terrestrial ecology, socioeconomics, and air and water quality regardless of the development strategy chosen. Through the implementation of the Kake-Petersburg transmission intertie, Bradley Lake to Kodiak transmission line submarine cable studies, Grant Lake Hydropower Study, and the Railbelt Electrical Power Alternatives Study, Ebasco has gained extensive experience with the vast body of literature available on Alaska physical and environmental characteristics and with implementing appropriate physical and environmental monitoring programs. The environmental studies currently being performed by Ebasco for the Grant Lake Project are expanding our knowledge and experience in the environmental concerns in Alaska. These studies demonstrate the care and capability that Ebasco will bring to the Kake-Petersburg study for evaluation of the Base Plan which will involve the continuation of present policies, the Kake-Petersburg intertie (Alternative 2), and Alternative 3, the lowest cost combination of alternatives excluding the Kake-Petersburg intertie. Those alternatives may include Cathedral Falls, Gunnuk Creek, conservation, wood-fired, or other options. The Grant Lake Project studies demonstrate that Ebasco staff have the capabilities to perform their studies in close communication with the federal, state, and local agencies, describe existing conditions, identify impacts of the proposed project development on these conditions and support possible mitigation measures to compensate for any unavoidable impacts. 4.3 MANAGEMENT OF LOGISTICS Ebasco has established a logistics management plan for the conduct of the studies for the Kake-Petersburg Project which provides for local personnel transport to the project site, delivery by air of equipment necessary to perform the soils and foundation studies and environmental investigations. Lodging and support facilities for the personnel involved in studies will be secured in Petersburg for personnel during field studies. Coordination with the U.S. Forest Service will be a critical factor in managing the logistics of field studies, maximizing local input into the planning process, and assessing the engineering and environmental implications of transmission line route selection. Ebasco personnel have the experience and knowledge of rural Alaska through studies in the Bristol Bay Region, Northeast, Southeast, and Southcentral Alaska to manage required logistics successfully. Field reconnaissance for these studies in the several regions of Alaska have included conducting physical surveys of transmission line routes and hydropower sites for which Ebasco personnel arranged for aircraft and helicopter charters, omsite lodging, and transportation in an efficient and effective manner to allow for completion of field programs on schedule and within budget. 4-4 Ebasco personnel have worked in close cooperation at the Grant Lake Project in securing special use permits from the Forest Supervisor's office of the Chugach National Forest. In the Pacific Northwest, Ebasco staff have had similar experiences in working with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, state agencies, and tribal representatives where Indian or native lands fall within potential transmission line routes. 4.4 R AND M CONSULTANTS INC. - GEOGRAPHICAL EXPERIENCE - SOUTHEAST ALASKA R and M Consultants, Inc. geographical experience in Southeast Alaska is significant.

Meeting these objectives will enable the Alaska Power Authority to move forward with confidence in its efforts to provide the people of Kake with reliable cost effective energy. To accomplish this objective, Ebasco will provide the engineering, environmental, economic, and financial analyses necessary to: o Prepare feasibility level designs for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie alternative, an evaluation of the Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Creek hydropower alternatives, as well as an evaluation of alternatives that include conservation, wind, diesel, cogeneration, and other as yet-to-be identified options; o Prepare cost estimates for each alternative; o Summarize the major environmental and social impacts of each alternative along with potential mitigative measures that could be considered; o Develop a peak load and energy forecast for Kake; o Formulate two. or more energy supply plans, in addition to the continued use of diesel generation; o Make an evaluation of the identified plans using a present worth comparison along with environmental and technical indicators; and o Conduct a public participation program to obtain input and comments from the general public. 7-1 Ebasco will conduct its efforts to achieve the above objectives and meet three general goals in evaluation of the feasibility of the Kake-Petersburg Transmission Intertie: 1. Ebasco will determine the most desirable, cost effective transmission intertie plan between Kake and Petersburg. This plan will identify system considerations such as the type of line to be constructed (e.g., DC single phase versus AC three-phase) and routing considerations such as whether it is better to adopt Route 1 or Route 2 as identified in the IECO study. This objective must be achieved relatively early so that the studies needed to meet the two objectives identified below can be conducted in a timely manner. The preferred route will be identified in the Interim Feasibility Report. The completion of this study objective will also require that the prerequisite energy demand analysis will have been completed and that basic engineering and environmental evaluations will have been completed for each of the two routes. 2. Determine the best energy plan for the Kake area. This objective can be accomplished by evaluating the full range of generation supply options potentially available at Kake against the current situation (base case) and transmission route system which is being evaluated. The results of this analysis will be presented in the Kake Energy Supply Feasibility Report, which will also include the findings presented in the Interim Report. This report will be used to identify which energy option is best and provide documentation as to how this conclusion was reached. This objective matches that described in items 6, 7, and 8 in the RFP. 3. The third objective is to develop a complete cost estimate of the project so it can be readily determined if this project is economically viable. Moreover, detailed analysis of the cost of this project also requires accomplishing preliminary design tasks that will be directly useful in the engineering design studies that 7-2 will follow if this project is developed. Simply stated, developing detailed cost estimates will help determine when and if the project should be developed, and in the event that it is developed, will be useful in the detailed design and financing evaluations that would follow. The three objectives outlined above, within the project concept described in Section 1.0, describes the philosophy behind the specific work plan described in the following sections. The work has been structured such that the feasibility study will be completed by September 1, 1982 (assuming a March 1, 1982 starting date), with an issuance of a draft report on approximately August 1, 1982. An initial public meeting will be held in March shortly after the contract for work is signed. A second public meeting will be held in August shortly after completion of the draft report. Ebasco staff will be ready to initiate design, preparation of plans and specifications and construction management as soon as the feasibility report is accepted by the State. The overall schedule for accomplishing the work in the feasibility study is shown in Chapter 8.0 as Figure 8-1. Ebasco will utilize the services of subcontractors in the areas of aerial survey and mapping, studies related to right-of-way properties, soils, geology and foundation exploration, site civil engineering, load forecasting, and alternative energy supplies and conservation. Ebasco will, however, have overall responsibility for execution of the work plan and will control the direction and activities of its own staff as well as the subcontractors'. Each study participant will prepare an investigation memorandum which presents a detailed scope of work, work program, schedule, and budget prior to the initiation of any studies. Through this process an orderly transfer of information with respect to the project objectives, scope, and work program will occur among the team members. 7.2 PHASE I - ROUTE SELECTION AND INTERIM FEASIBILITY STUDIES Ebasco will initiate Phase I study activities in a manner which assures that the work effort of the subcontractors and Forest Service will be directed toward achieving common objectives. Project activities leading to the submittal of the Kake-Petersburg Route Selection and Environmental Report and the Interim Feasibility Report are as follows: 1. Project Initiation Activities: a. Project Kickoff Meeting - This meeting will be held in Petersburg within two weeks of the time the contract is awarded. Aside from Ebasco and the Power Authority, agencies with interest in the project will be encouraged to attend. This includes representatives of Tlingit and Haida Regional Electrical Authority and the U.S. Forest Service. Representatives of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ADFG, the Corp of Engineers as well as local elected officials (e.g., Lonny Anderson, Mayor of Kake and Ernie Haugen, State Legislator representing the project area) will also be encouraged to attend. At this meeting Ebasco's approach to this project will be described to the attendees. The tentative agenda is provided in Table 7-1. Following the meeting Ebasco will prepare a brief meeting summary which wil] be included as an Appendix in the Phase I report. b. Initial data gathering activities - This will include ordering the maps listed in Table 7-2, USFS airphotos of project area (4" = 1 mile), U-2 imagery flown in August 1978 (color infrared) and data on channel geometry including nautical charts and general information from Coast Guard, Corps of Engineers and others involved in dredging and otherwise maintaining the channel through Wrangell Narrows. Also, copies of all previous reports will be obtained (e.g., IECO transmission studies, Harza Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Hydro Studies, and other related studies completed to date)L/. 1 Ebasco currently has copies of previous reports, but these and others will be identified to the Power Authority to make certain all reports have been obtained. 7-4 TABLE 7-1 SUGGESTED AGENDA KAKE-PETERSBURG TRANSMISSION STUDY PROJECT KICKOFF MEETING MARCH 10, 1982 Introductions - Remy Williams - APA Bill Kitto - Ebasco Bill Chabot - THREA Gordon Edgars — USFS Other interested parties Need for Study - Remy Williams Study Approach - Bill Kitto Forest Service Concerns - Gordon Edgars Other Agencies - System Interconnection/Utility Considerations - Bill Chabot Local Concerns - L. Anderson/E. Haugen Other Issues Attendees: 7-5 2. Technical Studies: The actual date of completion of the technical studies for Phase 1 depends on when weather will permit the air photos to be taken. The schedule presented assumes photos will be ready for use in the first month of the study. Specific activities for the major areas of study include: b. Load forecasting (energy use and demand) studies will begin upon project award and be the first task completed. It is important that these studies be completed early as the range of alternatives to the transmission line which may be feasible will to some extent be dependent on energy forecasts. A description of these studies is provided in Appendix A. System and Route Engineering - Existing utility systems, length of line, ruggedness of terrain and channel, geometry and length of submarine crossings, will be analyzed so that design parameters (voltage, ac or dc circuits) can be defined. These studies will be reported in the Kake-Petersburg Route Selection and Environmental Report and will enable a decision to be made as to the relative suitability of various plans and routes. Conceptual design and cost estimates will be prepared and the merit of each route relative to the more important decision variables such as length, susceptability to high wind loadings, access, compatability with existing systems and capability to meet project loads will be comparatively assessed. Public Involvement - Once the recommended transmission plan and route has been identified public meetings will be scheduled in Wrangell, Kake, and Petersburg. These meetings will serve as "scoping" meetings under the Forest Service's NEPA requirements and will give the public an opportunity to comment on selection of the preferred plan or route. The meetings will also provide 7-6 3. ameans of informing the public of project activities. These meetings will be held after most studies leading to the Route Selection Report have been completed when it is apparent which plan is preferred. Input from these meetings will be used in preparing the Interim Feasibility Report and in conducting the detailed feasibility studies. Soils, Geology, and Mapping - Studies leading to the Interim Feasibility Report will include preliminary mapping of soils and slopes through interpretation of airphotos. Field investigations during this phase will occur on both routes, but will be concentrated to areas of special concern such as near the proposed location of submarine cable terminal structures, sensitive shorelines or for Route 2 near Petersburg Mountain and Beacon Point. In addition to the maps described above, a tabular comparison of the routes showing length in various slope categories and muskegs will be prepared. Also a map of existing and proposed roads will be prepared in the vicinity of each route. Input from these will be obtained from the USFS and Sealaska Corporation. (The availability of this information has been confirmed by the U.S. Forest Service and Sealaska Corporation. ) Environmental Studies: Environmental studies leading to the Interim Feasibility Report will be conducted in close cooporation with the Forest Service and other affected agencies (e.g., Alaska Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Alaska Division of Forest Land and Water Management, Department of Natural Resources (Tidelands Permit). A detailed description of environmental studies, including methodology necessary to develop the data base, conduct analyses and reach a decision on route selection is provided in Appendix B. 7-7 Environmental specialists in the Stekine area of the Tongass National Forest have been contacted and agreed to provide data and expertise regarding potential impacts of both routes. Environmental maps will be developed from such contacts for important and affected resources. Considerations such as the extent and importance of the flyway between Portage Bay and the Duncan Canal will be identified. Furthermore, each route will be compared as to their relative impact and potential mitigation measures identified. These environmental studies will be summarized in the interim report which will include resource maps summarizing important concerns. An Environmental Assessment (EA) will also be prepared that meets the NEPA requirements of the U.S. Forest Service. Preparation of an EA will sunmarize important environmental issues in format that enables a feasibility determination while fulfilling a regulatory requirement at the same time. Through this approach the Alaska Power Authority and Forest Service would be partners in planning with the Power Authority retaining its leadership role while the Forest Service fulfills its legal reponsibilities in an efficient manner. Alternative Energy Studies: Although a detailed assessment of the capability of various energy supply alternatives to satisfy Kake's future energy requirements is not needed until after the Interim Feasibility Report is completed, initial studies are needed to assess the relative merit of various options and their potential application in Kake so they may be summarized in the Interim Feasibility Report. These initial assessments are needed early, so they can be addressed, and analyzed and reformulated in an optimal manner for comparison with the "base case" and "transmission intertie". The specific alternatives to be addressed are described in Section 7.3.1.3. Each of these will be evaluated, in terms of the projected load forecasts for Kake. Each alternative will be addressed individually in the Interim Feasibility Report, while they will be combined and compared in aggregate with the base case and transmission intertie options in the Kake Energy Supply Feasibility Report. 7-8 7.3 PHASE II - ENGINEERING, ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY STUDIES During the period when the Interim Feasibility Report is being reviewed, Phase II activities will begin. Most emphasis in this phase will focus on transmission engineering, soils/geology, the alternative energy supply comparisons, environmental studies and project economics. Slight refinement of the energy demand analysis Conducted in Phase I and further site-specific investigation of environmental] considerations will be required, but to only a limited extent. Studies which will be necessary are as follows: 7.3.1 Engineering Alternatives Three major alternatives will be evaluated. They include a continuation of the existing practices utilizing diesel generators (Base Case - Alternative No. 1), the Kake-Petersburg Intertie (Alternative No. 2), and the Non-Intertie Option (Alternative No. 3). 7.3.1.1 Base Case - Alternative No. 1 The Base Case plan consists of the continuation of present practices for electrical energy production and heating; i.e., diesel electric units located in Kake. Power is presently distributed from one power house and there are no transmission lines interconnecting the town with other areas. The Base Case study plan will be formulated to meet forecasted heating and electrical requirements. To evaluate the use of petroleum fuels, a resource assessment, and a conceptual design and cost estimate will be performed. In addition, existing reports will be thoroughly reviewed. The resource assessment for diesel fuel will consist of a survey of appropriate refineries to determine diesel grade availability on a short- and long-term basis, fuel price by grade, and a projected fuel price escalation by grade. The resource assessment will also consider factors associated with the delivery of petroleum fuels to Kake. 7-9 Diesel studies will begin with an assessment of the present diesel systems in terms of age, remaining service life, and heat rate (Btu/kWh and kWh/gal). This assessment will include review of existing data plus field inspections. Maintenance logs, as available, will be reviewed. Conceptual design studies will include flow sheets, heat balances, and estimated costs. Costs will include capital costs, fuel costs, and operating and maintenance costs. 7.3.1.2 Kake-Petersburg Intertie - Alternative No. 2 Alternative No. 2, the Kake-Petersburg Intertie, consists of a transmission interconnection to the Tyee Hydroelectric Project in the vicinity of Petersburg. Alternative No. 2 will include evaluation of the feasibility of the preferred route selected as part of the Route Selection and interim feasbility studies. The route which will be evaluated will have been selected in Phase I from one of the two following alternatives: o Route No. 1 - This route is 47 miles in length (45 miles overhead, 2 miles submarine) -- It closely follows the suggested routing of the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, whereas the transmission line would cross the Wrangell Narrows via submarine cable, run overhead along the Tonka Mountain Forest Service road, and cross the Duncan Canal via underwater cable south of Mitchell Slough. The transmission line would then run overhead northwest through the Big John Creek, Hamilton Creek and Cathedral Creek watersheds to Kake. Route No. 1 has been aligned to avoid environmentally sensitive and special land use areas such as Petersburg Creek and Duncan Salt Chuck Wilderness Area. In addition, the route passes through muskegs with little vegetation and follows existing roads where possible. o Route No. 2 - This route length is 50 miles (49.4 miles overhead, 0.6 miles submarine) -- The transmission ] ine would cross the Wrangell Narrows via submarine cable in the Petersburg area, follow 7-10 the east shore of the Lindenberg Peninsula north to the Twelve Mile Creek Valley, then westward through the valley passing south of Portage Bay and north of Kupreanof Mountain and then continue westward to Kake. This alternative has some disadvantage in that it runs approximately twelve miles along steep slopes above the Fredrick Sound but has the advantage of being near existing or proposed roads over most of its length. This route also follows a potential road alignment from Petersburg to Kake but it is not clear when or if such a road would be constructed. In the Phase I route selection and interim feasibility studies, factors affecting general design parameters for the two aforementioned routes under consideration were evaluated. In Phase II, engineering studies needed for a feasibility analysis and associated cost estimates for the selected route will be undertaken. To accomplish this a proposed alignment will be identified within the corridor analyzed in the Phase I studies. This alignment will be identified by the transmission engineers in close consultation with soils/geology specialists and Forest Service personnel. This alignment will be the focus of subsequent analysis. Mapping, based on project airphotos, will be available on a scale of one inch equals 400 feet with contour intervals of 20 feet for the entire route although only selected areas, those which require detailed analysis, will be mapped. From these data preliminary conductor Sagging, tower location, clearing, access, and ice and wind loading requirements will be assessed. Particular attention will be devoted to areas where considerations could affect overall project costs. Special attention will be devoted to the submarine cable portion of the route where bathymetric surveys will be conducted for both Wrangell] Narrows and Duncan Canal. In addition, meteorological investigations will be undertaken for the western portion of the route (for the 20 miles east of Kake) where strong northerly winds in the wintertime require a higher design standard. In these areas consideration will 7-11 be given to siting the line so as to avoid windy areas or to take special design measures (e.g., additional bracing, shorter spans) to preserve the line's integrity. This, and other similar information will be factored into the cost estimate and reported in the final project design. Detailed studies of the transmission intertie alternative are illustrated on the Flow Chart, Figure 7-1. Transmission and distribution intertie engineering studies will utilize the following data to optimize this study alternative: (a) load curves with forecast for 20 years for each community; (b) distance from main distribution substation; (c) relief along possible routes; (d ) ) ) ) environmental restrictions and limitations; ) geology along possible routes; ) meteorological data (wind, snow, temperature, rainfall, etc. ); ) need for existing electrical facilities (substations, local network, status of existing equipment); (h) space availability and access roads; and (i) ease of constructability and available local manpower for construction. Selection of line voltage and type is an important step of the optimization process. The previous study conducted by IECO shows that an unconventional 40 kV-SWGR is the most attractive transmission line option. This type of intertie will be considered along with the more conventional three-phase systems (i.e., 24.9, and 34.5 kV lines). The voltage selection will be performed by analyzing project demand and the existing and proposed transmission system using Ebasco's voltage regulation and power flow computer programs. Special interlocks and three-phase to single-phase switching will be considered where necessary to permit the use of the existing network and diesel units as 7-12 FIGURE 7-1 TRANSMISSION INTERTIE DESIGN FLOW CHART INPUT DATA (Load forecast, relief, meteorology, etc.) SELECTION OF NETWORK VOLTAGE AND TYPE (System study, power flow, and voltage regulation) CONDUCTOR SELECTION ROUTE SELECTION (Includes limitation) TOWER SELECTION RO W CLEARING (Special Contingencies) OPTIMIZATION OF EACH SELECTED ROUTING ALTERNATIVE COST PER KWH AND KW, INCLUDING TERMINAL FACILITIES COST/MILE FOR EACH LINE COST OF OPERATION (Leases, etc.) RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE standby for emergencies. Voltage regulation of long lines may require special compensation stations and/or voltage regulation transformers (auto transformers). The study will determine the need for capacitive compensation and intermediate voltage booster points along long lines with significant voltage drops. The conductor selection step is important for the transmission line mechanical design. For each selected voltage level, two conductor cross-sections will be considered. The power flow may be such that relatively inexpensive transmission lines using galvanized conductors may be used while still maintaining the required voltage regul ation. Steel conductors are widely used abroad in remote areas with low current densities and heavy wind and ice conditions. (The 15-20 kV distribution network in remote areas of Siberia and the central European part of the U.S.S.R. uses such lines extensively.) The use of alumoweld, ACSR (aluminum conductor — steal reinforced), aluminum, and a sequence of all above along the line will be considered. Special attention will be given to long spans and river or valley crossings, selecting heavy conductors with high mechanical perf ormance. The identified route will be studied and catagorized into typical portions (flat land, submarine, valleys, mountains, marshland, forest, muskeg, etc.). The study will use local maps and routes identified in previous studies, aerial overf light of the area by the project team, aerial maps and photographs as applicable, as well as field inspection wherever necessary, to identify the feasible routes for the interties. This part of the study will rely heavily upon local sources and qualified persons familiar with the area, such as U.S. Forest Service personnel. The project team will collect the needed information during the early stages of study and will then refine the solutions through subsequent site trips as needed. 7-14 Geotechnical investigations will focus on characterizing the subsurface characteristics of the area where the proposed transmission line will be located. Particular attention will be devoted to muskeg areas where hand probes will be used to estimate the depth of the muskeg and the type of underlying material (i.e., bedrock or till). Channel geometry and bottom characteristics will be studied. Most study will focus on Duncan Canal where relatively little is Known about the underlying channel. Only information needed to supplement the more extensive data base for Wrangell Narrows will be developed. The products of these analyses: maps, tables and narratives will influence the design of the proposed route and will be reported upon in the final feasibility report. An important part of the route design will be identification of route limitations due to topography (elevation), environmental (animal and bird population) , meteorological (ice, temperature, snow, wind, geotechnical (seismic, soil type, soil resistivity), Right-of-way restrictions, archaeological considerations, or other Federal or local restrictive regulations. In line with normal practice, the selection of routes will also consider visual impacts of the transmission line itself and associated cleared right-of-way. Tower selection will also be performed for the selected line, focusing on cost and reliability; for instance, use of unconventional line-supported A-frame structures mentioned in the IECO report does not address the risk nor the cost in repairing long segments of transmission line (and tower) that may fall down due to conductor breakage. Embedded wooden poles versus hinged steel towers will also be evaluated considering difficulty of access, availability of gravel, and other factors relevant to construction on Kupreanof Island. Special towers will be considered for long spans, and conductor arrangement, clearances, shielding, and insulator types will also be evaluated. Tentative tower spotting, using im-house computer programs and the profiles that will be developed to determine height and number of towers for the line and each type of tower selected. Costs will be 7-15 estimated for right-of-way clearing, access roads (where needed) , various alternative construction methods (i.e., helicopters versus conventional ground transportation), shipping materials, and storage. Also assessed will be maintenance requirements, crew size, special equipment, and associated costs. These data will be developed in cooperation with THREA and other utilities near the proposed line. The selected alternative will be optimized to determine the most cost effective intertie. The optimization will consider capital costs as well as operation and maintenance costs for the forecasted load. The recommended intertie study results will be used in determining the optimum electrical energy supply plan for Kake. The lowest feasible cost of the interties, by minimizing the transmission losses as well as material and construction and operation and maintenance costs will be analyzed simultaneously with the reliability of system, as part of the Phase II study. Cost of terminal facilities (substations, switching points, and transformers) will also be estimated together with the necessity of expanding or upgrading the local distribution network of each community in accordance with the load forecast. These findings will be included in the Kake-Petersburg Intertie, Engineering and Cost Report. The report will contain documentation of engineering and design for the transmission line. The report will include an evaluation of SWGR versus the conventional three-phase option. Right-of-way requirements will be identified and a detailed project cost estimate prepared. 7.3.1.3 NonmIntertie Option - Alternative No. 3 In Phase II, the first step of the alternative energy supply analysis will be to formulate the optimal minimum of supply alternatives to compare with the base case and transmission intertie scenario. This third case for the analysis will be developed based on two criteria: its ability to satisfy projected demand in a reliable manner without 7-16 sufficient environmental impacts, and its cost-effectiveness relative to other potential supply options. This alternative will be used as input for the comparative evaluation of involving it and the base case and transmission intertie options. Alternatives which would likely be evaluated include the petroleum based, solid fuel options (wood), hydroelectric, and unconventional energy resources (solar and wind). Petroleum-Based Alternatives This alternative consists of continued reliance on petroleum fuels for electricity generation, focusing on various diesel generation designs with additional considerations of other petroleumbased generation technologies. In all cases, waste heat recovery and insulation will be evaluated. Petroleum fueled options include not only the present internal combustion engine system, but also the use of petroleum fuels for furnaces and boilers as in the case of solid fuel systems and in combustion turbines. Petroleum fuels are expensive; thus, costs are a critical element of this assessment. Petroleum fuels from jet fuel to No. 4 could be used in conjunction with the following technologies: internal combustion-based generation and/or cogeneration, and open cycle combustion turbine for exclusive electricity production. In order to evaluate the use of petroleum fuels, a three step process will be used. The steps are: (1) resource assessment; (2) conceptual design and costing; and (3) environmental emission estimation. The resource assessment for petroleum fuels will consist of a survey of appropriate refineries to determine: (1) appropriate grade availability on a short- and long-term basis; (2) fuel price by grade; and (3) projected fuel price escalation by grade. The resource assessment also will consider factors (e.g., cost, seasonality) associated with the delivery of petroleum fuels to the Kake area. 7-17 Conceptual designs will be performed for those options considered potentially feasible. Conceptual designs will be performed with particular attention to such problem areas as fuel receiving, storage (possibly over a long time), and handling in cold weather. Design studies will begin with an assessment of the present diesel systems in terms of age, remaining service life, heat rate (reported as Btu/kWh and kWh/gal), and amenability to waste heat recovery and distribution systems. This assessment will include review of existing data plus field inspections. Maintenance logs, as available, will be reviewed. Once these studies are complete, diesel system replacements and additions will be recommended. Conceptual design studies of all petroleum systems in the base case will include flow sheets, heat balances, and complete cost information. Costs to be reported include capital costs, fuel costs, and operating and maintenance costs. Such values will be used in the comparison of options from economic and socioeconomic perspectives. The analysis will result in conceptual designs, costs, and discharge analyses for the energy options, depending upon resource availability and constraints on petroleum development. Each alternative so developed will include attention to maximum energy conservation and the meeting of multiple objectives for energy development in Kake. Solid Fuel Options - Wood Logging operations near Kake and other sawmills in southeastern Alaska may provide resources for wood-fired electrical generation or wood furnaces. The Kake Native Corporation presently logs about 20 million board feet of timber per year, generating a substantial volume of wood waste material. Also, as identified by IECO (1981), a field chipping operation at Rowan Bay near Kake is being planned by Alaska Lumber and Pulp Company. This operation could yield a considerable amount of bark that could be utilized for hog fuel. 7-18 Two types of commercially available systems may be employed: (1) cogeneration with diesel units, hydro, wind, or solar power alternatives and (2) a modern stand-alone wood-fired power plant supplying electricity. In order to evaluate the solid fuels alternatives, a three-step process will be used: (1) quantify resource requirements, availability, and potential constraints; (2) develop conceptual designs and costs for appropriate systems; and (3) calculate the probable environmental impact of each design. Each feasible alternative will include attention to energy conservation. If wood-fired electrical generation proves feasible, cogeneration and stand-alone power plants will be designed at the conceptual level. These plants will be designed with particular attention to the characteristics (e.g., approximate and ultimate analysis) of the wood fuel being employed, climatic conditions of the Kake area (particularly as they relate to fuel storage and handling), and the labor force available for construction and operation. Every effort will be made to employ shop-fabricated components rather than complete field erection of the facilities. Conceptual designs will include flow sheets, heat balances, and cost estimates. Cost estimates will include capital costs, fuel costs, and operating and maintenance costs. Labor force requirements will be detailed. Such values will be used in the comparison of options from economic and socioeconomic perspectives. Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Creek Hydroelectric Projects Ebasco will review all existing information on the Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Creek Hydroelectric sites. A thorough examination will be made of the assumptions underlying the development of the proposed project using the October 1979 report by Harza Engineering Company and a 1977 report by Robert W. Retherford and Associates. Ebasco engineers and hydro logists will review existing topographic, geologic, and hydrologic data, in particular the record of the streamflow gauge on Hamilton 7-19 Creek two miles south of Cathedral Falls. Work accomplished by the Alaska Power Administration, other consultants, including IECO (Retherf ord), and Harza will be integrated into the conceptual engineering studies. (This will include a review of the proposed project layouts, and alternative sizing and location of the dam, conduit, penstock, powerhouse, and tailrace for a range of installed capacities.) In addition, the results of an Ebasco field reconnaissance will provide valuable input in the conceptual designs. Hydrologic Studies All available reports, maps, and other pertinent documents will be obtained and reviewed. This will include a compilation of available hydrologic and climatologic data in the project vicinity. A computer model of the flows in Cathedral Falls will be used in power output production studies. The model, based on streamflow data for Cathedral Falls and on other relevant climatological data in the region, will be utilized to determine average and adverse flow conditions at the site for power generation, to determine the effect of instream flow release requirements on project operational power output, and to evaluate alternative models of operation for the power project. A flow duration curve will be developed. A flood frequency analysis will be performed with due consideration given to previous hydrologic studies of the basin. The results of this analysis will be used for selection of design floods for any required diversion works during construction. Spillway and outlet rating curves and spillway design flood hydrographs will be developed. Ebasco in-house computer programs will be used to perform the project operational studies. These programs are currently in Ebasco's imhouse Burroughs computer and can easily be adapted to this study. After analyzing f low data and obtaining operation constraints, the energy production calculations will be performed for the mean and adverse water years over a range of installed capacities. The optimized site energy can then be selected. 7-20 Qutput from the operation studies will consist of monthly generation derived from the f lows from the hydrologic studies. With this output, power benefits for the alternative levels of installed capacity will be readily evaluated and a plant size selected that will maximize power output benefits. Based upon the results of the operational analysis and cost estimates, an economic evaluation will be performed to determine the optimum plant size for the project. This evaluation will include the determination of the average annual energy and its value for various installed Capacities, and the benefit/cost ratios for each increment of capacity. Cathedral Falls Dam: At present, a 27-foot concrete gravity dam located above Cathedral Falls for the run of the river project is envisioned. Ebasco will evaluate this option as well as other types of dams (e.g., timber buttress, earth/rockfill and Armco bin wall), and dam heights, as well as alternate locations. Spillway: Site specific factors, such as topography and geotechnical features, will dictate spillway design. The hydrologic aspects have been discussed previously. However, based on the probable size of the project (i.e., less than 1 MW), and the flow rates outlined in the Harza report, the spillway is most likely to be an ungated concrete ogee. Water Conduit: A primary consideration will be the design and location of the intake structure and trash racks, the power tunnel and the penstock. Problems associated with debris accumulation, icing, sedimentation and operations and maintenance concerns will be evaluated. The penstock design will take into account the adverse climatic conditions of the region as they affect the type of steel and the foundation requirements. It is certain that additional alignment 7-21 specific geotechnical investigations will be recommended should this alternative prove to be competitive with the Kake—Petersburg intertie. The preliminary design will reflect the results of the prior engineering and economic studies. In addition, the time required for construction will be evaluated and considered in design. Powerhouse: The powerhouse location will be established utilizing available geologic and geotechnical information at a site that optimizes the net head. Should the absence of suitable bedrock foundation on which to build result, a selection between a pile foundation or spread footing will be made. Other considerations evaluated will include the protection of the powerhouse from flooding, accessibility, seismic factors, and the prevailing climatic Conditions. Generating Equipment Selection: The initial turbine and generator equipment selection (Harza, 1979) for the project will be reviewed by Ebasco and the alternatives discussed. Head and flow conditions at the site will determine the type of turbine required. The use of standard design turbines and load control governing equipment will be evaluated to optimize the conceptual design of the installation. Transmission Lines: Ebasco will also carefully evaluate alternative routes of the transmission line between the power plant and the connection to the distribution system in Kake. A careful study of aerial photographs and topographic maps will be made to identify potential hazards that will affect transmission line reliability and cost. These alternatives will then be evaluated on the basis of capital, operating, and maintenance costs, reliability, and ease of construction and maintenance. The selected routes will be evaluated to assure that an economical and reliable route is chosen to deliver power to the existing power distribution systen. Conceptual design of the transmission line will include the foundations, structures, conductors, insulators, hardware, and miscellaneous features. 7-22 Cost Estimates Ebasco will prepare cost estimates for the project alternative layouts to support feasibility assessment using typical cross-sections and general details of conceptualized project features for Cathedral Falls. These estimates will be consistent with the level of investigation in this study and will be adequate to make a final decision regarding the viability of a particular alternate. Cost data for evaluation of the conceptual designs will be Ebasco cost data derived from similar projects, including a number of analyses conducted in Alaska for the Alaska Power Authority and Office of the Governor and Alaska District, Corps of Engineers, as well as cost data from the Corps of Engineers, EPRI and the FERC. These costs will be annualized along with energy generation values to select the optimum arrangement. For the preferred project layout, Ebasco will develop an overall project cost estimate, including the costs associated with the detailed engineering, procurement, and construction phases of the project. Construction costs will be based upon estimated quantities derived from the preliminary design effort and will be of a level of detail commensurate with the status of project engineering. FERC account codes will be used. Gunnuk Creek The Gunnuk Creek Hydroelectric Project has already been found to be a more expensive development than the Cathedral Falls Project. This finding is presented in the October 1979 report by Harza. However, Ebasco will review existing reports, hydrologic and geologic data, and will lay out significant project features, in a preliminary manner, to determine project feasibility and develop cost estimates. Again, the level of effort will be consistent to develop realistic cost estimates for use in the alternative energy studies. 7-23 The project concept for Gunnuk Creek as developed by near ee (1977) includes two dams built for storage aporoyvimat~?-- tream of an existinguted 7a ale Ae mouth of os re, t from mwoject cal -voirs woul : e, which woul Howev ; the Gunnu ve.

These alternatives will be assessed in a manner consistent with the previous options. Wind power depends critically upon the velocity and duration of wind currents at any specific site, as the generalized power availability function is as follows: P = KAV3 where P = power available, K = some constant to account for generator inefficiencies and other losses, A = the area covered by the blades of the wind mill, and V = the wind velocity. Wind mills generally have cut-in and cut-out wind speeds, below and above which they cease to Operate. 7-24 Me SODA he ere - WorAd LLbeu Pe ve weatledaoryey ip hao eal fl Fe a Leash my Rover regu Wy ee put A wu propa, bast A See it As ¢ Just Thy wrebodo loa. > deed) Pr you ) aes hank. whi MO ine nt Seu. eee av Ne Sin eI ae yo”) Ebasco and its subconsultant, The Renewable Energy Group, wil] make —~ extensive studies of promising specific sites in Kake and the surrounding communities to determine average wind speed; deviations about that average, particularly those which are below the cut-in velocity above the cut-out velocity; and, the occurrence of promising wind conditions relative to electrical loads.

Available wind information will be collected and compiled to estimate persistence, seasonal variations' velocity distribution, and contours of wind power. Judgments will be made from the avail data as to potential desirable wind energy generation sites.

Passive solar, weatherization, -and wood energy and other potentials will be assessed for Kake by the Renewable Energy Group. A site reconnaissance will be conducted to determine solar access, weatherization potential in existing and new building stock, and wood fired space heating potential. A preliminary engineering and economic evaluation will be made to assess the aforementioned technologies capability to make significant contributions to the communities’ energy base. For those options that pass tests of economic and technical feasibility, further analyses will be conducted of installed cost, energy production or savings and resource requirements. 7.3.2 Environmental Studies Most environmental studies willbe conducted during Phase I of the proposed work effort. A detailed description of those studies is provided in Appendix B. Environmental analyses conducted as part of the Phase II work effort will involve adjustments to environmental] assessments made in Phase I based on more detailed engineering considerations advanced in Phase II on the "Intertie Option" (Alternative No. 2) and the "Non-Intertie Option" (Alternative No. 3). The environmental studies which are developed during Phase I will be used to prepare the Kake-Petersburg Intertie Detailed Feasibility Analysis Report (see Table 7-3). This report will be the primary work product of the Phase II work effort. 7.3.3 Economic Analysis of Project and Comparison with Alternatives In order to perform a thorough economic analysis of the Kake-Petersburg Intertie, all significant factors related to the economic costs and benefits of alternative projects, environmental resource Changes, and social/cultural impacts must be considered in an integrative framework. An analytical framework for analysis must provide 7-26 guidelines and procedures for conducting the study while maintaining flexibility and having the capacity to permit comparative project evaluations using benefit-cost analysis suitable for public decision making.t/ This section of the proposal presents such an economic analytical framework which conforms completely to the Alaska Power Authority's "Standard Procedures" for feasibility studies (3 AAC94.060). 7.3.3.1 Comparison of Kake-Petersburg Intertie with Other Generation and Conservation Alternatives The benefit-cost methodology intended to evaluate the Kake-Petersburg Intertie and compare it to alternative power sources will take into consideration of the following items: multiple objectives of government and electric utility groups; multiple objectives of the project; identification and economic evaluation of project alternatives; and identification and evaluation of non-quantitative externalities ooo 8 associated with each project alternative; o evaluation of significant resource values lost in money terms where feasible; Oo evaluation of resource values where market prices are distorted by taxes, subsidies, or market imperfections. 7.3.3.2 Multiple Objective Planning Considerations The government may view electric power capacity additions in terms of national, state, or regional economic goals. Government policy-planning officials may think that hydroelectric or other sources i The fundamental objective of project studies and this economic framework is to "definitely assess project feasibility and to meet licensing and permitting requirements." 7-27 of renewable energy should be promoted relative to fossil fuel sources of electrical generation. Rural electrification will raise the standard of living of residents and their ability to earn or produce in the state, regional, and local economy. The agency responsible for supplying electric power, even though it may be a public corporation, may not evaluate the electric power with the same objective(s) as the government. For example, a public power agency may want to minimize the long-term direct costs of power supply but the opimization is subject to certain constraints. These constraints usually take the form of mutually exclusive objectives, such as the following: minimizing market area energy costs; minimizing environmental injury and damage; minimizing social, cultural, aesthetic, archaeological impacts; + maximizing income and employment in the state or region; ao FP WMH F . maximizing likelihood of financing and implementation of the project; and 6. minimizing fiscal impacts on state or local government units. A hydroelectric project may have power benefits as well as other benefits including water supply, flood control, and recreation. Multiple project objectives whose benefits (costs) are measured in different terms and may lie outside the primary purpose of producing electrical energy, are suitable for evaluation in social benefit-cost analysis. Project alternatives such as transmission lines with visual impacts or a hydroelectric development which may flood areas which could be used for wildlife management are examples of project development options with mutually exclusive benefits. Analogously, varying the height of a chimney or a fossil-fired generating station may have different short and long-range effects on environmental resources such as air and water quality. Social benefit-cost analysis provides a framework to better evaluate the monetary and resource impact differences associated with mutually exclusive project alternatives, and to better understand the nature and consequences of trade-offs among which hard decisions have to be made. 7-28 Social benefit-cost analysis is an appropriate methodology to evaluate spillover effects or externalities which cannot be measured in quantitative terms. For example, aesthetic and archaeological impacts associated with project disruptions need to be assessed but such effects are never considered in traditional engineering economic project evaluations. The value of resources used in the production of electrical output may not be correctly measured in the market place for various reasons. For example, the market wage rate may overstate the value of labor employed on a power project if there is extensive unemployment or underemployment in the regional or national economy. The cost of capital may be better measured by the social opportunity cost of capital on alternative public investments and/or the alternative cost of supplying electric power by a thermal project with equivalent energy and capacity. Social benefit-cost analysis depends upon welfare theoretical concepts and principles which provide a basis for measuring resource values as well as for evaluating resource allocation problems. 7.3.3.3 Benefit-Cost Decision Making Framework Ebasco proposes to provide proper focus to the benefits and costs for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie or its alternatives by constructing three separate "accounts" to organize benefits (costs) which accrue to various individuals and groups in Alaska as a whole or in regions of Alaska. The three-account framework intended to be employed on the project for the benefit-cost analysis is: 1. State income account 2. Regional account 3. Environmental account 7-29 The State income account measures all the project costs and benefits that can be expressed in monetary terms (5) resulting in a benefit-cost criterion value for decision making purposes. If the maximization of State income is the single objective to be achieved from the electric power project, then the Kake-Petersburg Intertie or that alternative with the most favorable benefit-cost criterion value will be recommended. The regional and environmental accounts summarize benefits and costs which cannot be "monetized" but might still be quantified in appropriate units of measurement. At a minimum, all benefit and costs that can be identified will be expressed in qualitative terms in these accounts. These accounts provide the basis for achieving non-income objectives such as minimizing environmental impacts or maximizing income, employment, and economic development in the Kake and Petersburg region. These accounts are necessary because the State income account does not account for all the benefits and costs imposed by the proposed power project on "society". Again, the State income account includes only monetized benefits (costs) and does not consider distributional impacts and potential mitigative trade-offs. In summary, the use of income, regional, and environmental accounts provide the foundation for a multi-objective evaluation process. The evaluation process considers the consequences (trade-offs) of attempting to optimize competing alternatives or objectives. The benefit-cost analysis and suggested framework will not only provide justification for project selection but it provides the means to integrate environmental, socioeconomic, fiscal, and technical information in an understandable format for licensing purposes. This process is illustrated in Figure 7-2. 7-30 FIGURE 7-2 FLOW CHART BENEFIT-COST ANALYSIS BASIC PROJECT DATA DEFINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES INVENTORY RESOURCES DETERMINE IMPACT DIMENSIONS DETAILED PROJECT ENGINEERING DATA FOR KAKE-PETERSBURG ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT .

Possible methods of financing the proposed Kake-Petersburg Intertie will probably fall within the following categories: o Use of State of Alaska funds or borrowing capability; o Use of U.S. Government funds, borrowing capability, or loan guarantees; and o Project financing by regional entity or private parties. The most feasible method of financing at this time will be to have the State of Alaska provide the required capital funds. This can be accomplished by appropriation of funds from State tax revenues or through loan funds obtained by the State or State agency issued bonds. An institution will be required to administer the state funds and probably arrange and monitor construction as well as operate the facility when completed. The institution will most likely be the Alaska Power Authority. The chief advantage of State funds is of course their cost which is considerably less than the cost of funds obtainable from the private market. Federal assistance in the form of loans or loan guarantees is always a possibility. However, the present and forecasted future for federal assistance is not favorable under the present administration. In addition, there is considerable competition for loan guarantees from other competing projects. Conceivably, the Kake-Petersburg Intertie could be project-f inanced although many factors will work against accomplishing this type of financing. A schematic of such an arrangement is provided in Figure 7-3 wherein an entity (e.g., Local Power Association) is the owner/operator of the Intertie . The Power Association would provide 7-32 FIGURE 7-3 RANSMISSION LINE OR ALTERNATIVE FACILITY LEGAL TITLE OF CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS or | 2 re} = wi = S| fe) w | i =< - q | oO ° wl NI REGIONAL OWNER/ OPERATOR ELEC. PUR. CONTRACTS-TAKE-OR- PAY PAYMENT FOR ELECTRICITY UTILITIES (THREA) PROJECT FINANCING ARRANGEMENT 7-33 approximately 25 percent of the capital and lenders the remaining 75 percent. Security to lenders would be provided by a mortgage on the intertie. The big disadvantage of project financing will be its costs which will undoubtedly be considerably higher than any type of state assisted financing. 7.3.3.5 Economic and Financial Risks of Marketing Power The following economic and financial risks are inherent in financing the Kake-Petersburg Intertie. 0 Erroneous load and energy forecasts resulting in excess electrical capacity; ° Project cost overruns with the result that the project is not the best alternative; 0 Project non-completion delay or prolonged outages such that: - If state financed, state loses principal and/or interest income - If project financed, menber utilities lose invested capital or are forced into take-or-pay resulting in higher costs for customers or financial problems for members or both. Inaccurate forecasts of future electric load and energy requirements may lead to installation of excess capacity and therefore higher than required electricity costs to customers from any of the potential alternatives which may be selected. This can occur with any alternative treansmission or generation expansion plan, but those generation sources having long construction lead times, such as hydropower projects, are particularly vulnerable. Generation plans using sources with shorter lead times and smaller plant sizes can be altered more readily as future electrical requirements change. Hydropower does have the advantage, however, that its energy costs are essentially zero and even if excess capacity occurs, the hydropower unit can be used to replace baseload oi] and gas burning units. 7-34 Construction site problems caused by weather or difficult access could lead to project cost overruns. The resulting cost of power from the plant might then become higher than other alternatives originally considered and less subject to cost overruns. The risk, therefore, is that ultimately electric customers may pay more than if an alternative plan had been followed. The financial risks are dependent on the method of financing but will be triggered by a failure to complete the project, large cost overruns, completion delay or prolonged outages once the project is completed. Initial financing plans will of course allow for some cost overrun and delay but if these become inordinately large, the financing parties could lose interest income and capital. Ebasco will assess the economic and financial risks of the Kake-Petersburg Intertie Project and compare them with the risks of alternative plans for meeting the future power needs of the Kake area. The risk analysis will be based on an evaluation of the probability of cost variation using an Ebasco computer program which generates confidence intervals for cost estimates. 7.4 COMPARISON OF ENERGY SUPPLY PLANS The existing Kake generation system or base case, and the two potential alternatives including Cathedral Falls, Gunnuk Creek and other alternatives will be economically compared using a present worth analysis. The planning period will be made equal to the estimated life of the longest life alternative. ne or more of the alternatives may require additional capital investment during the planning period in order to provide the same level of generation as the longest life alternative. 7-35 7.4.1 Alternative Evaluation Technique The alternatives must be comparable as to the length of time or period that they provide service and as to system reliability or availability. The period can be equalized through repeat investments as mentioned above, and reliability can be equalized by assuming additional generation backup or through an outage Cost penalty which would reflect the cost to consumers of being without power for longer periods and /or more frequently. The effects of future estimated changes in all costs from general inflation and supply/demand changes must be incorporated in the present worth analysis of each alternative. The discount factor will be equal to the estimated real financing cost for the proposed alternatives. The financing cost will depend on the method used to finance the alternatives which will most likely be State of Alaska general revenue or borrowed funds. Other sources of funds, such as the U.S. Government and private parties, are also possible and will be investigated. Technical factors such as safety and reliability will, if possible, be quantified and included in the economic present worth analysis. Most environmental factors are difficult or impossible to quantify, but those that can be quantified will also be included in the economic analysis. Nonmdquantifiable environmental factors will be analyzed separately. 7.4.2 Kake Energy Supply Feasibilty Report The three alternative plans for meeting Kake's electrical and heating requirements will be formulated. The feasibility report will present study findings in accordance with the criteria established in the Power Authority study regulations and standard procedures.

The program will consist of a public meeting in March and August 1982 in Kake, Petersburg, and Wrangell. Advance notice of the meeting will be provided in coordination with the Power Authority and village leaders in the two communities. Ebasco, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, will make a presentation describing the proposed study and will respond to comments made at the meeting. The second public meeting to be held in Kake, Petersburg, and Wrangel 1 in June 1982 will present a summary of the work competed as of publication of the draft report. Comments made at both meetings wil] be recorded and summarized in meeting minutes. Ebasco staff which will conduct the meetings have organized and presented energy study results at more than forty isolated or rural communities as part of previous studies of small hydro development potential for the Alaska District Corps of Engineers and those studies presently being conducted for the Alaska Power Authority at the Grant Lake Project near Seward, Alaska. The minutes of both meetings will be distributed to the meeting participants and the Power Authority. written comments either from the meetings or review of the draft will be incorporated in the final report to be issued by September 1982. 7.6 REPORTS 7.6.1 Progress Reports Ebasco will provide the Power Authority with monthly progress reports as shown in Table 7-3 which will include a summary of the status of the work performed, a schedule of the work to be performed in the next report period, an overall schedule of the work and discussion of problem areas which could impact the completion of the work. 7-39 TABLE 7-3 KAKE-PETERSBURG INTERTIE DETAILED FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS PROGRESS REPORT PROGRESS REPORT NO.

To achieve these objectives, the study team will perform the following tasks: 1. Review existing energy and electric power forecasting studies relevant to the region or similar areas in Alaska for data sources, forecasting models and procedures, and actual project ions.2/ Identify and develop a data base for forecasting purposes. Identify and develop forecasting methods utilizing the data compiled (specification of model(s)). Adapt methods to reflect economic, environmental and technical conditions of local study area. Develop fifty year forecasts of energy and loads. Prepare interim feasibility report. Examples include: 1) Kake Energy Requirements - Rural Electrification Administration, 1979; 2) Transmission Intertie, Kake-Petersburg, Alaska, International Engineering Company, 1981. 3) Cathedral Falls Project. Harza Engineering Company, 1979. A-1 A-2.0 ELECTRICAL AND HEATING ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND FORECASTS For each of four end use categories (space heating, water heating, lights and appliances, and industrial processes) Alaska Economics, Incorporated will provide twenty year low, middle, and high forecasts of Kake's future electrical and heating requirements. Detailed end use forecasts will be provided for each of the following: Residential: space heating, water heating, lights and appliances Manufacturing: space heating, water heating, lights and appliances, industrial processes Commerc ia1/ Government : space heating, water heating, lights and appliances, processes Forecasts of electricity demand will be offered on a peak load (KW) and period average basis (MKWH,BTU). Forecasts of the demand for other fuels will be offered on a BTU basis and on a commercial unit basis (gallons, etc.) in order to facilitate consideration of interfuel and conservation substitution possibilities. Determinants of the Kake demand for energy will include: (a) economic growth (population/households, income, number of establishments and enployment by industry); (b) forecasted prices of alternative fuels and the "price per BTU gain" from adopting conservation measures; and (c) market saturation defined both as the ratio of customers to potential customers (for example electricity hookups per household), and, in the case of electricity demand, as the number of applicances per household and establishment, for a pre-chosen list of appliances. A-2 The work will progress in four steps: A-2.1 SURVEY OF KAKE ENERGY DEMAND Alaska Economics, Incorporated will visit Kake and survey the village's present energy use patterns. The survey will be coordinated with the Tl ingit-Haida Regional Electrical Authority and with the Village of Kake. A representative sample of Kake residences, business establishments and government offices will provide up to date information on the stock of appliances and the energy use characteristics of Kake buildings. This survey will be modeled after the State's energy audit survey with the addition of information on the number and type of appliances presently in use. The 1970 Census of Housing included appliance saturation data for Kake. The 1980 Census has severely reduced information of this type, and, furthermore, will not have the information which was collected, available until late 1982 or early 1983. Data will therefore be collected in the village of Kake. A-2.2 ECONOMIC FORECAST Forecasts of population, the number of households, income and the number of establishments and employment by major industry will be made for Kake. Alaska Economics, Incorporated will produce low, middle, and high growth forecasts. An econometric model will not be used as the econometric technique in preparing these economic forecasts. Econometric models require a database much richer than that available at the local level in Alaska. In place of the econometric method, a generalized multiplier analysis will be substituted. Growth in the Kake economy will be explicitly premised on realistic assumptions as to gains in basic sources of stimulus such as government employment, construction spending, and tourist expenditure. Multiplier induced gains in support sector activity will be developed using judgementally determined basic income and job multipliers. Alaska Economics, Incorporated anticipates that trend growth in Kake electrical energy demand will be determined by regional growth in population, income and employment, and by industry specific electricity use characteristics. For this reason considerable emphasis will be put on the formation of accurate, low, middle, and high growth forecasts. In order to maximize the information content of the forecasts, Dr. Reaume will meet with leaders of the Sealaska Native Corporation and with the Kake Tribal Corporation, in order to determine their economic development plans and goals. These plans and goals will then be evaluated in light of general economic conditions (including the Japanese market for round logs), in arriving at realistic low, middle, and high growth scenarios. A-2.3 HISTORICAL ENERGY DATA BASE Base year estimates of energy use by fuel type (electricity, fuel oil, wood, and bottle gas) will be built up from the following sources: (a) records of the Tl ingit-Haida Regional Electrical Authority published in "Alaska Electric Power Statistics 1960-1980" (Alaska Power Administration, August 1981); (b) fuel oi] shipments into Kake Harbor as recorded by the Corps of Engineers in its "Waterborne Conmerce", supplemented by data for commercial vendors; and (c) the survey of Kake energy demand. Published data are not broken out by the detailed end use categories required for this study. Wewill, therefore, apportion the published data to end use categories based on our survey information, and (in the case of industrial processes) on energy use data by industry published by the U.S. Census Bureau in its Annual Survey of Manufacturers, Fuel and Electricity Energy Consumed, (ASM). The ASM data are available by industry for Alaska, and, in part, for the Wrangell-Petersburg Census Division. We will input the ASM energy data to present and prospective Kake firms according to relative output. (In the case of existing firms, only if there is difficulty in obtaining information in the Survey from the firms themselves. Clear Creek Logging is presently the only manufacturing firm reported in Kake. A-4 In the case of electricity consumption, a fifteen year time series for each end use category will be built up from the records of the Alaska Power Administration and the Tlingit-Haida Regional Electric Authority. A-2.4 ELECTRICITY DEMAND EQUATIONS The electricity demand forecasts will not be constrained by a projection of power generation capacity. Rather, the study will forecast potential electricity demand on the premise that what is required is meaningful input into the determination of potential load requirements. Much of the best previous work on determining the characteristics of electricity demand by end use category has been built upon fairly extensive national or multi-state databases. Typically, small area databases are not large enough to engender confidence in statistical estimates of electricity demand derived solely from small area data. Fortunately, a tested technique known as "micro-s imulation" lends itself to this problem./ In effect, the study process will make use of electricity demand parameters (elasticities) estimated from other comparable regions in Alaska to prepare first-pass estimates of historical Kake elecricity consumption by end use category, and then statistically adjust these first-pass estimates to conform to the historical Kake consumption estimates. Forecasts of electricity consumption will then be made from the adjusted equations. Many early studies of electricity demand defined the relevant electricity price to be average expenditure per kilowater hour (available from the utility database). More recent work in the field 1 For applications of the micro-simulation technique (albeit outside the field of energy demand analysis) see Reaume, D.M., "Forecasting State Income Tax Collections: A New Approach" (Public Finance Quarterly, January 1978) or Bergmenn, B. "Combining Micro-Simulation and Regression: A 'Prepared" Regression of Poverty Incidence on Unemployment and Growth" (Econometrica, September 1973). A-5 recognized the importance of including information on the entire schedule of electricity rates faced by utility customers.2/ We will follow the more recent practice in our work. Data on the utility's tariff structure will be obtained from the utility itself. Other determinants of residential electricity demand will include the number of potential customers by sector (households), the extent of applicance use, the average size of houses to be heated, and the prices of competing energy sources (wood heating, bottled gas, and fuel oil). The residential electricity demand equations themselves will be identities expressing consumption by end use category as the product of the estimated stock of electricity consuming devices and the average, per period, electricity consumption of a typical device. Economic determinants of electricity consumption will enter via the forecast of the individual stocks of electricity using devices, the forecast of the intensity of their use, and on the forecast of their per unit electricity consumption. Consideration of trends in residential electricity conservation will be reflected in the projections of the stocks of devices, the intensity of stock use, and the electricity consuming characteristics of each type of device. Data on the latter are available from the Electric Power Research Institute. The non-residential demand for electricity by end use category will be developed in a similar manner with the exception that initial forecasts will (of necessity due to data limitations) be made for the entire commercial industrial sector and then apportioned to end use category. [re ~ See, for example, "The Residential Demand for Energy," Electric Power Research Institute Report on Project 431-1, Volume 1, January 1977. A-6 A-3.0 REMAINING DEMAND FORECASTS The demand for other fuels used in water heating, space heating, and industrial processes will be developed in the following manner. 0 Forecast demand by end use category from base year estimates utilizing data survey (demand per appliance, or per process, base year ratios). oO Adjust the above projections for forecasted prices of alternative fuels and trends in energy conservation. The forecast will be driven by the economic forecast prepared for Kake (A-2.2) and on forecasts of relative energy prices and the cost "per BTU gain" of selected conservation measures. The principal reason for adopting this approach is the absence of long time series data on nore lectrical energy consumption for Kake. KAKE-PETERSBURG INTERTIE APPENDIX B DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES APPENDIX B DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES B-1.0 INTRODUCTION The baseline environmental data will be obtained from the U.S. Forest Service Tongass National Forest personnel. These data will be used to prepare an environmental assessment for the transmission line alternatives being studied. The environmental assessment will be prepared during Phase I studies and will be finalized when an alternative route is selected for detailed study and the necessary associated studies are complete. Eb asco personnel will work cooperatively with U.S. Forest Service personnel to conduct studies necessary to assess impacts of the Kake-Petersburg transmission intertie. Specialists from the Forest Service will work with Ebasco aquatic and terrestrial ecologists, wildlife biologists, as well as forestry, land use, recreation, and visual impact professionals. These individuals wil] assemble the data base and develop the environmental impact assessment in accordance with NEPA guidelines. For those small portions of the line which are not on Forest Service land, Ebasco (Envirosphere) staff will evaluate the environmental impacts associated with transmission line routing with limited Forest Service support. These studies by Ebasco personnel will be conducted at the same time that the staff evaluates the environmental impacts associated with development of alternatives, such as Cathedral Falls and Gunnuk Creek Hydroelectric Projects, a wood-fired biomass option, continued use of diesel power and nonconventional alternatives such as solar and wind generation. The environmental evaluation of alternatives to the Kake-Petersburg Intertie will be based on field reconnaissance, discussions with agency personnel, and review of the existing literature. B-1.1 ENVIRONMENTAL WORK PROGRAM Ef fective completion of the tasks to develop an environmental assessment for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie Detailed Feasibility Analysis requires a well-conceived and coordinated effort between the U.S. Forest Service and Ebasco staff. In addition, the need to develop a feasibility study to meet State of Alaska requirements demands that a logical, documented, and coordinated approach be employed by the respective study participants. The approach for the environmental studies is described in three major subsections. The first section, management objectives and procedures, specifies procedures to identify, coordinate, and document project activities. The second section describes the technical investigations and routing studies, while the last section describes activities that will be completed in the feasibility study preparation phase. Although these considerations are addressed separately, it is recognized that these tasks are not distinct, but rather interrelated. B-1.2 MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES Specific procedures written before the field or office studies begin will be followed so that activities are coordinated and documented to the satisfaction of the cooperating parties and in conformance with the requirements of U.S. Forest Service, other federal, state, and local agencies, local governments, Kake Village Council and Sealaska Corporation. The importance of this objective should not be underestimated because the number of organizations and individuals involved in this project is significant thereby increasing the need for attention to communication between the various parties. To reduce the potential for communication problems, Ebasco will hold a "kick-off" meeting and progress meetings as necessary with THREA, Forest Service and other interested organizations. Objectives of the kick-off meeting will be to describe the approach used by Ebasco and to fully inform all interested organizations of project activities from the outset. In addition, procedures to review and disseminate findings will be specified at this meeting. In the periodic progress meetings which will be required by the relatively short time schedule, Ebasco study activities will be reviewed and the expertise and experience of all cooperating parties will be brought to bear on problems that arise. Ebasco will be responsible for preparing the meeting agenda and chairing the meetings. The basic intent of these meetings will be to make sure that each interested party is kept informed and that project work is subject to critical review on a frequent basis. This approach is designed to ensure that findings will not be presented all at once late in the project schedule. Avoiding this potential problem is especially critical during the six-month project schedule. Meetings will be held, if necessary to review draft report comments. This approach will enable findings to be presented to the cooperating parties (U.S. Forest Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, etc.) prior to their finalization. This will accomplish two objectives. First, it will give the cooperating parties an opportunity to preview and critique the information being submitted. Secondly, it will assure that for all parties involved, critical milestone dates will be met. B-1.3 REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Regulatory compliance is an important aspect of the study. A list of special attention categories will be prepared by Ebasco to serve as the basic reference for those requirements of federal and state agencies having environmental responsibility. At the local level, officials will be consulted to ascertain resident sensitivities. B-3 B-1.4 FEDERAL AGENCY REQUIREMENTS A federal agency evaluation for development of transmission facilities must comply with a range of laws, regulations, and executive orders dealing with a wide variety of resource considerations. Although each set of requirements is different, they typically have general requirements that can be satisfied by using the approach described be low. The initial activity in complying with the requirements of a specific category is to review the requirements of that category (e.g., Executive Order 11990 for wetlands). Ebasco is familiar with the activities mandated at present by many of these sets of requirements. Because of their importance and effect on the cooperating parties, Ebasco plans to present its specific approach for dealing with these requirements to the cooperating parties. The presentation will include review and discussion of the regulatory requirements and specific activities Ebasco plans to undertake. The regulatory manual which is already developed from transmission line projects includes copies of NEPA implementation regulations and supporting material, State of Alaska Regulations, Forest Service Rights-of-Way Principles and Procedures, and other pertinent regulatory documents. This material will serve as a handbook for subsequent regulatory investigations. It is recognized that the special resource category regulatory requirements must be defined and agreed upon early so that the proper coordination and documentation activities can proceed. This first set of activities will complete this responsibility. Af ter preparing the regulatory strategy, Ebasco will contact agencies to learn where areas of special concern have been identified (i.e., Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Sealaska Corporation, etc.), and to determine if the resource will be impacted. The next step in the B-4 regulatory process depends on the extent of the impact and on the requirements. Some compliance activities can be satisfied quite readily, while others (e.g., regulations pertaining to an endangered species) may pose very significant obstacles to development of the transmission line. &basco will work with agencies in fulfilling these requirements. B-2.0 KAKE-PETERSBURG TRANSMISSION LINE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES WORK PLAN All studies conducted for the environmental assessment will be thoroughly planned. The basic planning document is this proposal, but in addition, a brief work plan will be prepared for each discipline. Each plan will be evaluated by key project personnel and then considered with other work plans so that activities are most effectively coordinated between Ebasco, the Forest Service and other interested agencies. This will involve establishing schedules for activities such as aerial reconnaissance, thus maximizing use of available resources and facilitating completion of activities within the project schedule. B-2.1 INFORMATION RECORDING Data obtained during these studies will be recorded in a format that will be easily used and can be transferred to the Power Authority upon completion. Although means for recording data will vary for each resource and are to lengthy to explain, a procedure that will be followed by all investigators using slides to record information is provided for illustrative purposes. Ebasco staff will work closely with Forest Service personnel conducting the studies to assure that project records are available to document the feasibility study which will be presented to the Power Authority. Slides obtained for all investigations will be recorded using slide holders, logs, and maps as illustrated in the following pages. Slides such as those that follow taken along the Kake-Petersburg Intertie during previous Ebasco studies of the line, will of course, be turned over to the Power Authority upon completion of the study as appendices to the report. It is recognized that these slides must be carefully recorded if they are to be used in follow-up proceedings. Examples of other data recording techniques are explained within individual technical sections in this section, while generic information on data acquisition, storage, and retrieval activities is provided in material referenced in the sections dealing with study quality assurance.

( ; | fe terrboal Se. Le Meyer Leche oe B-2.2 FIELD INVESTIGATIONS Several sets of material will be assembled and used by project personnel. These will include sets of maps for the two proposed routes. Four sets of USGS maps covering the entire project area will be obtained. The list of maps to be obtained is identified in Table B-1. Land use, land cover, and ownership maps for the entire study area will be obtained from the Forest Service. Air photos and associated mappings for these same areas will be obtained from the survey and mapping subcontractor. All of these materials will be used by technical specialists. Aerial photos will be provided to Forest Service personnel. In general, the materials of which there is ony one copy will be controlled (through sign-out procedures), while the maps, except for one designated file set, will be viewed as working tools of the specialists. A helicopter will be used for studies along the entire transmission corridor and alternative (i.e., hydroelectric, wood, etc.) project sites. (Use of the helicopter will be coordinated with the survey and mapping subconsultant.) It is anticipated that two traverses will be conducted of the two routes in Phase I while several flyovers of the selected route will be undertaken in Phase II. The Ebasco environmental studies manager will accompany Forest Service personnel in the life, physical and social sciences that will be involved in this activity. During this aerial reconnaissance, slides will be taken and subsequently recorded using the procedures outlined earlier. B-2.3 MAPPING LEVEL The scale employed in mapping activities will vary among the different portions of the project, based upon the specific scale requirements of the various work elements. Larger map scales will be used for areas requiring detailed engineering analysis such as in complex terrain, and at submarine cable crossings, due to their more detailed level of B-9 TABLE B-1 USGS MAPS TO BE OBTAINED 1:250,000 Scale Petersburg 1:62,500 Scale D-6 D-5 D-4 D-3 C-3 c-4 C-5 C-6 B-10 analysis and greater need for precision. Accordingly, the maps for routing areas at the Kake and Petersburg ends of the line will be ata scale of 1:62,500, corresponding to the 15-minute USGS topographic maps. Maps used for the technical investigations along the entire length of the route may be at a smaller scale depending on the corridor width being studied and the requirements of disciplines in response to different resource characteristics. Visual resource studies, for example, will require a much wider study corridor than soils investigations. Mapping needs for the feasibility report will be somewhat different, with more emphasis on presenting composite information and an overview of larger areas. The maps will therefore employ a smaller scale than the maps for the initial studies. The basic route will be placed on 1:250 ,000-scale maps for the feasibility study, allowing the entire route to be mapped on a single foldout page. Additionally, the Kake and Petersburg routing areas will be mapped at a scale of 1:62,500 allowing for complete coverage of each routing area on two pages of the document. B-2.4 TECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS - U.S. FOREST SERVICE Technical investigations will be conducted to provide baseline information for impact assessment, facilitate regulatory compliance both at the federal and state levels, and provide input for developing mitigation strategies. These diverse requirements, together with the requirement that the studies be completed within four months of the start of work on this project, indicate the importance and intensive nature of these activities. Cultural Resources - U.S. Forest Service personnel will provide data on the two alternative routes being considered for the Kake-Petersburg Intertie. Although the exact mileage of lines to be surveyed cannot be determined until the engineering and environmental studies are complete, it is reasonable to assume that approximately 97 miles will have to be assessed. Areas surveyed will include proposed right-of-way and associated access. B-11 The first activity in the investigation will be literature reviews at the State Historic Preservation Office, U.S. Forest Service, and with Native Corporation and native village leaders. Required field surveys of the routes will be undertaken by Forest Service and Ebasco personnel as necessary. Vegetation and Soils - The objectives of these investigations are to describe in general terms the soils and vegetation in the area of project influence and to provide a soil and vegetation map at a scale consistent with the wildlife habitat map. The characteristics of the major soil associations along the two project routes will be described. Landform and topography will also be discussed. &mphasis will be placed on those characteristics important in evaluating transmission line siting and impacts (e.g., extent of muskegs, erodibility potential and suitability for revegetation). A general map of the major soil associations along the existing corridor will be prepared at a scale of 1:62,500. Primary data sources for soils information will be published and unpublished soil surveys and maps of the U.S. Forest Service, USGS topographic maps, and aerial photographs. Vegetation types present along the route will be described and mapped at a scale of 1:62,500. U.S. Forest Service land cover maps will be used, updated and supplemented where necessary by delineating vegetation types using stereoscopic examination of aerial photographs and field checking. The hierarchical system of classification will be used for the project vegetation maps. Sites identified by agencies as being ecologically valuable because of their vegetation characteristics will also be described and mapped. Regional vegetation Community descriptions will be used for the descriptions of vegetation types within the study area. Soils within the two routes will be classified and mapped as to their suitability for transmission line construction activities. It is anticipated that three ratings will be used (high, medium, low) to describe their suitability for transmission line construction. B-12 Vegetation types within the routing areas will be mapped according to degree of vegetation impacts that will be associated with project development. Forests will be mapped as high impact areas, muskeg dominated types as intermediate impact areas, and other areas where natural vegetation has already been removed as low impact areas. The suitability of such areas will also be assessed using environmental and soils and foundation parameters. Wildlife Investigations - The objective of the wildlife investigations is to describe and map the distribution of wildlife and wildlife habitats within the area of project influence. These investigations will emphasize important wildlife and unique or otherwise important habitats. Information will primarily be gathered from existing literature. The product of these investigations will be a technical report with maps of the distribution and special use areas of important wildlife within the project area together with descriptions of the seasonal abundance and habitat use of these species. Important wildlife found along the transmission route includes black bear, Sitka black-tailed deer (rare), timber wolf, moose (occasional), and other smaller mammals (Kadake 1979). Birds are abundant in both areas. Bald eagles are very common along the shoreline near the tidal flats off Gunnuk Creek near Kake. They also frequent Cathedral Falls Creek downstream of the falls during the salmon spawning season (Kadake 1979). Data will be compiled on the seasonal abundance, distribution, and special use areas of these wildlife species. Specific information will be developed to delineate and describe fawning and calving areas, winter ranges (including important thermal cover areas), migration routes and other seasonal use areas for the big game species. Waterf owl nesting, rearing, migrating (such as between Portage Bay and Duncan Canal) and feeding areas, and known raptor nest sites will also be identified. B-13 Maps at a scale of 1:62,500 will be prepared identifying important habitats and critical use areas along the transmission line corridors. Larger scale maps will be prepared where necessary to more precisely define the relationships of important wildlife areas within the project area. Descriptions of the characteristics of these areas will also be provided. Data sources for obtaining information on wildlife and wildlife habitats in the project area will be primarily state and federal agencies. Both published and unpublished data and reports of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, and U.S. Forest Service will be reviewed. Regional faunal surveys will be useful sources of distributional information. In addition, project area surveys will be conducted by helicopter overflights. These surveys, together with aerial photograph examination, will identify potentially important wildlife areas not identified by the data sources listed above. Where necessary, limited field studies will be performed to supplement the existing data base on these areas. Lastly, information will be obtained from interviews with knowledgeable individuals associated with the federal and state agencies listed above, and conservation groups (e.g., Audubon Society). Additional 1:62,500 scale maps of wildlife special use areas will be prepared for the two routes. The identification of special use areas in the two routing areas will be supplemented with information obtained through helicopter overflights. These special use areas will serve as constraints for route alignment. In addition to the constraint areas, those habitats within the routing study area in which the lowest wildlife impacts would occur as a result of transmission line development will be mapped. This mapping of low impact areas will assist in the route delineation step of the routing studies and like all other studies described above be conducted in Phase I. B-14 Aquatic Investigations - The objective of the aquatic investigations will be to describe the freshwater and marine organisms within the areas affected by the alternate transmission routes or the alternate energy projects. The main sources of information will be derived for available literature, direct contacts with Alaska Department of Fish and Game and Forest Service personnel, and through field studies at areas not covered by the literature. The product of these studies will be a technical report with maps and tables indicating important aquatic habitat in the project area. The marine areas near Mitkof and Kupreanof Islands have abundant and varied sea life which may occur in areas of submarine crossings (Wrangell Narrows and Duncan Canal). These organisms include numerous commercially and recreationally important fish such as salmon and halibut, shellfish such as crab and shrimp, and intertidal organisms! . The organisms and timing of their abundance (particularly for mobile species such as salmon) will be described for each potential submarine crossing. Any areas of concern will be identified and methods to avoid impact will be described (e.g., scheduling construction of underwater crossings to avoid peak salmon runs). Many of the freshwater areas of Kupreanof Island that may be crossed have important salmon and trout populations. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game has performed extensive studies on the fish populations 1/ Beyer, D.L., R.E. Nakatani, and C.P. Staude. 1974, Effects of salmon cannery waste on water quality and marine organisms at Petersburg, Alaska. J. Water Pollution Control Federation 47 (7): 1857-1869. B-15 in many of these areas, particularly on Duncan Creekls2/, Information from these studies, supplemented by field work in areas not covered in previous studies, will be used to indicate species and timing of fish runs in areas crossed by the transmission route or by access roads. Potential areas where siltation from construction could impact either spawning or rearing areas will be identified and techniques to avoid impacts will be described. Threatened and Endangered Species Investigations - The objective of these investigations is to document the occurrence or nonoccurrence of nationally threatened or endangered plant and animal species (candidate, proposed, and listed species) and species of special interest to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game within the project area. Species included in these investigations are: 1) those listed as threatened or endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (50 CFR, Part 17); 2) those plants identified as candidates or proposed for listing as contained in the Federal Register notice dated December 15, 1980 (pages 82480 to 82569); 3) those animals listed as threatened or endangered in Alaska by the Fish and Wildlife Service (1978). Previous reports indicate that wildlife species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as endangered or threatened in Alaska include four migratory bird species: the Eskimo curlew, the American and Arctic peregrine falcons, and the Aleutian Canada goose (USFWS 1979). These birds would be expected to pass through the general project area only infrequently and the project should have no effect on them. L Jones, D.E. 1978, A study of cutthroat - steelhead in Alaska.

Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, Sport Fish Division, 124 pp. B-16 The current status of all species identified as likely to occur within the project area will be reviewed and evaluated. Available information on present and historical distribution, habitat requirements, disturbance factors, and population numbers will be assessed as necessary by Forest Service personnel. The review will include published information as well as information in resources manager and agency files. Unpublished information, available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game will also be reviewed. Information already contained in the Harza and IECO reports will be updated. Intensive field surveys of areas affected by the project that are identified as likely to be inhabited by species of concern will also be conducted but only if necessary. The surveys will be designed to provide reasonable assurance of the presence or absence of these species. The surveys will attempt to identify the local distribution of the species of concern if they inhabit the area. All pertinent observations will be mapped and their locations recorded. This investigation will be conducted when snow levels recede in the spring. This will enable field surveys to be conducted during periods that are optimum for locating the species of concern (e.g., plant surveys should be conducted during flowering periods when possible). Maps of areas likely to be inhabited by species of concern within the two routes will be prepared. Land Use Investigations - This technical investigation.will deal with several of the issues that are most likely to affect public acceptance of the proposed transmission line, including effects on private land holdings, recreation lands, and visual resources. Land use investigations will also be important for the environmental assessment, and will play a critical role in the route alignment near Kake and Petersburg. Maximum use will be made of existing data, both published and unpublished. Tables and summary maps will be used to facilitate comparisons of alternatives. B-17 The Kake and Petersburg routing study areas will be examined in greater detail than the balance of the line because of their proximity to population centers. This difference in level of detail between the routing areas and other study areas will be reflected in text and graphics. The following tasks will be performed as part of the land use investigations: i Transmission rights-of-way can remove significant amounts of high quality timber land from production. This issue is more important for the northernmost of the two routes because of the valuable timberland near the Missionary Range. Overall, however, it will not likely be a significant issue for either route because of the small rights-of-way requirements. It is especially insignificant for the southern route because of the large acreages of poor timberland crossed. The navigability of water bodies could be significant because of the need for underwater crossings at points such as Wangrel] Narrows and Duncan Canal. If a water body is defined as navigable, a permit is required under Section 4.4 of the Clean Water Act. Such crossings are permitted under the Act and the Regulations of the Corps of Engineers, provided there is no change in pre-construction bottom contours. However, the necessary permit requires additional review time and the Corps and other reviewing agencies would then also become involved in the environmental assessment. At any rate, a determination of the limit of navigation is generally on record in Corps offices for all major water bodies. The number of residential and commercial units near a transmission alternative is an important indicator of potential land use impact. For the routing investigations near Kake and Petersburg, existing information from local governments and USGS maps will be updated by interpreting aerial photography which will be acquired. Once routes are defined, detailed land use counts will be performed. B-18 4. Visual resources will be inventoried and impacts assessed using information obtained from U.S. Forest Service landscape architects in Petersburg using the standard USFS methodology. This methodology is adapted to wild lands and rural areas and will be modified to deal with the more developed areas near Kake and Petersburg. The main elements of the analysis in these areas will be the visibility of the routes, the number of persons who would be exposed to these views, and their relative sensitivity (indicated by land use). The appearance of alternate transmission designs will be illustrated in a limited number of views taken from key observation points along the alternative routes if necessary. For example, potential views of the line from waterfowl hunting areas such as Mitchell] Slough will be analyzed. The visual analysis will also examine the effectiveness of visual mitigation measures, such as alternative tower designs and right-of-way management techniques. There are certain elements that are the most important for the study of the two routes within each task of land use investigation. Draft maps of forest cover will be prepared to help indicate potential visual effects, as well as effects on timber production. The potential for growth in the Kake and Petersburg area will be delineated to provide a rough indication of future development patterns. Draft maps of the natural resource areas will also be developed, with a focus on classes of lands that may prove very difficult to cross with a transmission line, such as wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and natural reserves. Identification of the navigable portions of streams by referring to records of the Corps of Engineers will be made. Updated maps of existing land use in the Kake and Petersburg study areas wil] be prepared. The last element to be analyzed will consist of mapping the general degree of visibility for lands along the two routes, based on topography, forest cover, roads, and population concentrations. Socioeconomic Investigations - Socioeconomic investigations wil] result in a concise overview of the demographic, economic, and social conditions within the area that may be affected by the transmission line project. This information will be developed in conjunction with B-19 the load forecast component. Investigations will focus upon major socioeconomic variables for which reliable data are uniformly available. Some attention will be given to long-term trends, but the primary emphasis will be on the collection and analysis of data for the period from 1970 to 199. Demographic information will be presented for population growth, settlement patterns, and major structural characteristics such as age and ethnic distribution. The economic overview will describe the structure of the local economies in the study area, identifying the major basic activities and the level of development of the support sectors of the economy such as trade and services. Data and discussion will also be provided for recent trends in employment, unemployment, income, retail sales, and housing stocks. Projections or estimates of future levels of these variables will also be developed, to the level that data are available. Attention to social characteristics within the study area will be somewhat different than for the demographic or economic variables, primarily because the major social factors are less amenable to quantitative assessment. Accordingly, the purpose of this segment of the investigation will be to identify and describe in qualitative terms social characteristics such as attitudes toward development and utility construction activities; values placed on wildlife, recreation, aesthetics, and related concerns; and reaction to intrusions into daily routines. In addition to these rather subjective assessments, information will be obtained regarding existing public facilities and services in the study area and the communities of Kake and Petersburg. Since this investigation will provide the basis for the impact assessment , the data coverage of the report will be restricted to factors which could be directly affected by construction of the transmission line; care will also be taken to avoid excessive narrative. In addition to an overview of existing and future demographic, economic, and social conditions, there will be an analysis of general effects of transmission lines on land values. Reports and interviews obtained for organizations to be involved in right-of-way acquisition and facility management (e.g., Tl ingit-Haida Regional Electrical Authority) will be obtained. B-20 General estimates of transmission line worker origins, local labor availability, and payroll expenditure patterns will be developed for the subsequent assessment of economic impacts. Alaskan State agencies will be the primary data sources for the socioeconomic investigation, in order to realize better uniformity of data coverage and more efficient data collection. This will be supplemented by information from federal or local sources (village and native corporations) as necessary, with the latter being particularly important in regard to housing, schools, settlement patterns and other conditions within individual conmunities and areas near the transmission line routes. Extensive personal contacts with authorities in the study area, such as the Mayor of Kake and City Manager of Petersburg, U.S. Forest Service field personnel, Sealaska and Kake Tribal Corporation, or outside experts with previous local experience, will be required to develop much of the information on social characteristics. It is anticipated that most of the required demographic data will be available from the U.S. Census Bureau and the State of Alaska. Economic data will be obtained from the Alaska agencies as well as several divisions of the federal and state commerce departments. Forecasts or projections of future growth from the THEA and state and local sources will be reviewed, while it is also expected that local planning agencies and councils of government will be important sources of socioeconomic information. The socioeconomic component of the evaluation of the two routes will be narrowly focused, concentrating on uses which would be displaced or otherwise directly affected by the transmission lines. Since the level of construction effort, worker origins, and expenditure/service demand patterns will be essentially independent of either routing alternative identified within the Kake and Petersburg study areas, it will not be necessary to address these concerns separately for each route. These studies will instead attempt to identify differences in use intensity and relative values between or among tentative routing alternatives. B-21 The socioeconomic work in the routing studies will therefore be related to and partially dependent upon the land use investigations. For example, following the identification and mapping of land use patterns, general value patterns will be added to this information, so that the two routes can be assessed on the basis of value differentials within and between land or resource use classes. Similarly, information on population density and distribution patterns will be used in both identifying and evaluating potential alternatives. Should Kake and Petersburg be expected to grow considerably during the next 20 years, it will also be necessary to attempt to identify the amount and general locations of future development within these areas. B-2.5 ROUTE STUDIES The process for studying the two preferred routes has been designed to be completed in the scheduled time frame, and should lead to the recommendation of a pictured defensible route. The full range of environmental concerns, along with economic considerations, will be factored into the study developed into the Feasibility Report using previous reports, Forest Service information, and air photos as the data base. This task will first require clarification of system studies details. The basic steps in selecting the preferred route wil] be conducted in Phase I and are listed below: - Develop Constraint Maps - Evaluate Tower Design Options - Define Routing Alternatives - Conduct Preliminary Assessment - Prepare Transmission Plan and Routing Report Each of these steps is described below. Constraint Maps - As described earlier, initial technical investigations will be focused on the two routes between Kake and Petersburg. Initial investigations in these areas will lead to the B-22 preparation of generalized constraint maps depicting the relative compatibility of transmission lines with each resource. In preparing this mapping, emphasis will be placed on identifying the constraints most seriously limiting the area's potential for use as a transmission corridor. For example, in soils studies emphasis will be placed on identifying areas where slope stability problems or deep muskegs can be expected. These areas will be mapped so that it is apparent which areas impose the greatest constraints for each of the technical areas investigated. Considerations pertinent to each discipline's routing studies are described in each technical subsection in the preceeding section. Constraint maps prepared in the initial stages of the studies will not be finalized until studies of the two routes are completed, because these maps are viewed as working tools rather than finished products. Before describing the two alternative route identification studies, it is necessary to describe the tower design analysis which will be campleted concurrently with constraint mapping studies. Tower Design Studies - Various tower designs may be appropriate within the routing study areas. In evaluating design options it is necessary to identify areas where special conditions (e.g., high winds) suggest that special designs may be warranted. While these design considerations are being analyzed the Ebasco Project Manager will be working with U.S. Forest Service personnel and Ebasco transmission staff to identify design parameters for the various structures. These parameters include required phase spacing; related conductor—design considerations, ground clearance standards, angle limitations such as cut-off points where tangent structures must be replaced by dead-end structures, right-of-way clearing and acquisition requirements, sag requirements as related to tower spacing; cable cost and design consideration for Wrangell Narrows and Duncan Canal cable crossing; and other engineering and economic concerns. It is Ebasco's objective to obtain this information early in the project, and at the same time attempt to establish a good working relationship with U.S. Forest Service staff so that mitigation measures can be achieved through design modifications. B-23 Both the resource analysis investigations identifying where special facilities are needed and the design parameters obtained from transmission design staff will be considered in identifying areas where special tower design options are warranted. This information will be combined with the constraint maps in the third activity, the delineation of alternative routes. Route Delineation - Considering environmental, engineering, and economic considerations, detailed alignments will be identified by the routing team composed of Ebasco and U.S. Forest Service personnel. The two alignments identified will represent a consensus of opinion of the routing team and will be supported by a brief memorandum describing why the detailed alignments were chosen. This memorandum will also describe the methodology used in these investigations. It is noteworthy that the methodology that Ebasco will employ in route alignment identification is a proven, practical approach for identifying transmission alignments that can be accomplished within the schedule for this project. It is not a lengthy, computerized or otherwise highly formalized process such as might be employed on a much larger, and more lengthy transmission routing study. Employing the project team approach in the above manner, where the Forest Service and Ebasco and its subconsultants work closely with Forest Service personnel, is a much more logical process for the specific requirements of this project. The constraint-generated alternative route alignments will be plotted on a 1:62,500 map and distributed in the draft feasibility report. B-24 B-3.0 PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Once the preliminary routes are identified, public meetings will be scheduled in Wrangell, Petersburg and Kake. These meetings, which will also serve as Forest Service scoping meetings, will provide interested parties to comment on routes identified and potential impacts. This information will be used in the environmental assessment and will be considered in preparing the Interim Feasibility Report. B-25 B-4.0 PRELIMINARY IMPACT ASSESSMENT Although the constraint maps are useful in identifying where problems will likely be encountered, they alone are inadequate for determining with confidence if a particular route is satisfactory. Ultimately, this determination must be based on how the route impacts a particular area. For this reason, a preliminary assessment of each route identified will be undertaken. This preliminary assessment wil] involve the routing study team (Ebasco, subconsultants, U.S. Forest Service personnel), and will be undertaken so that the study team is aware of impacts the routes could cause. This awareness may lead to some revisions in the preliminary routes defined and will lead to selecting routes in which all participants have confidence. It will also satisfy the environmental assessment requirements of the Forest Service. B-26 B-5.0 KAKE-PETERSBURG ROUTE SELECTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Af ter completing the preceeding steps the study team will Summarize its findings in the route selection and environmental report. This report will discuss the methodology employed, present relevant constraint maps, describe the routes identified using tables, maps and narrative, and provide rationale for the selection of the preferred alternative. The draft of this report will be completed by the Ebasco study team by June 15, 1982 so that it can be reviewed by the cooperating parties. Based on this review, the environmental assessment report will be used to prepare the project feasibility report. After consideration of issues raised during the study, public meetings, the final route selection and environmental report will be submitted to the Alaska Power Authority. The submittal date will be August 1, 1982. B-27 KAKE-PETERSBURG INTERTIE APPENDIX C PERSONNEL RESUMES RESUMES EBASCO SERVICES INCORPORATED 8/81 Page 1 of 4 ROGER G.

Involved in construction, design, start-up and operation of fossil power plants througnout the PG and E system, over 3,000 MW were installed during this time period. Ouring this period units went from 150 MW to 750 MW in size from subcritical to super critical steam conditions. Much of the design efforts on the fifteen operating geothermal power plants on the PG and E systems were under his direction, units ranged from 12.5 to 115 MW in size. This is the largest geothermal installation in the world. Cogeneration work including a design of a 4,200' steam line to supply steam to the Fiberboard Paper Plant at Antioch, California. A number of other co-generation studies were in progress at the time he left PG and £. Over the period of 1966 to 1981 headed up the design of all piping systems, supports, stress analysis, material selections for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units 1 and 2 (2-1100 MW units, PWR's by Westinghouse) . This work required a staff of 15-60 engineers and designers to accomplish. Ouring this time frame the plant was completely designed, then re-evaluated for higner seismic accelerations due to discovery of an off-shore fault 3.5 miles from the plant. Outside consultants, with up to several hundred engineers and analysts were directed by Mr. Walther during this time. Sat on the company's Working Fire Committee to oversee all fire protection provided at every company facility including every power plant, office building, etc. Reviewed and approved all welding procedures .and material specifications used in the fossil, geothermal and nuclear power plants PG and — designed.
