In most cases what rural housing does exist is Mat out inadequate, unsafe, and unpleasant. Without question, too, another pressing problem in the bush is lack of employ- ment. What salaries there are in most bush communities are meager, reflecting in many cases a lack of training and job skills. Ironically, because of a lack of training and experience — not a lack of willingness — few rural Native workmen have been able to get anything more than menial jobs even when oppor- tunities have opened up in the vicinity of their homes. In the past Southeast Alaska Native villages have been no exception to the conditions described above. And in fact such conditions are generally still the case in the Tlingit and Haida com- munities which dot the islands and mainland of the Panhandle. A dynamic, can-do, all-Indian agency, however, is trying mightily to do something about both housing and jobs in the villages. And if the poeple who run the agency have not yet totally solved the com- pound problem they have at least made a sizeable and impressive dent in it. They're pressing with enthusiasm to ac- complish considerably more. The agency is the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority, a 14- person organization headquartered in Juneau and operated under the direc- tion of Robert W. Loescher. Members of the board of directors of the authority are appointed by the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida, the organization of Natives created to administer the $7.5 million land claims settlement awarded by the courts to Panhandle Indians in 1968. The authority is recognized by the State of Alaska. The goal of the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority is decent housing for Native peoples in Southeast Alaska. Already the little-publicized and unheralded authority has built, or is in the process of building, 160 units of single family housing in Saxman, Hyda- burg, Klawock, Kake, Angoon, and Hoonah. On the drawing boards — and recently placed under contract for con- struction — are plans for 200 more, in 50 ALASKA INAINICTOY Anril/1074 cc Ter Eig Conferring over the Tlingit-Haida housing program are Bob Loescher, right, executive director of the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority, and David Williams, construction engineer. Before them are artist sketches of houses available during the authority’s Turnkey Three housing project. Craig, Hydaburg, Klawock, Kake, Angoon, Hoonah, Klukwan, Haines, and Yakutat. These houses (plus a com- munity building in each village) are be- ing constructed under the auspices of a federal Housing and Urban Develop- ment (HUD) program called “Turnkey Ill.” Additionally the authority has plans to immediately construct 66 units of housing for the elderly in Saxman, Klawock, Kake, Angoon, Hoonah, Haines, and Yakutat. A unique feature of this latter housing — to be financed with Central Council matching money and a state Alaska Housing Finance Corporation loan — will be village health centers attached to six-plex units in each community. No small-time operation this, the three projects above total more than $20 million in construction, road build- ing; water and sewer costs. “It is,” Executive Director Bob Loescher notes matter-of-factly, “one of the biggest construction projects in Alaska today.” Just as important, Alaska Native labor is doing most of the construction work in the villages. On the initial 160-unit project Native participation in the workforce has been as high at times as 87 per cent, an incredibly high level of achievement according to govern- ment spokesmen. And, lest anyone think the end product of such housing projects will be row upon row of uniform, monotonous, tract housing, consider this: the author- ity offers no less than 11 different house designs, in varying colors. By size. there is a choice of one design for a two-bedroom home; no less than five floor-plans for three-bedroom homes, two designs for four-bedroom units; two layouts for five-bedroom homes; and one for the big six-bedroom house. The program, though’ now cleurly destined for success, was not an cis project to put together. It has been s long, hard time in coming. The 160-unit project, in fact, was nearly canceled 3 couple of times, and with it the hopes of Southeast Alaska Natives for 2 chance to show they could manage and complete their own program to mee! their own needs. Here’s the chronology of how the whole thing came about: The project had its origins in 10x when the U.S. government created 4 new public housing program called “Turnkey III.” Administered by HUD, the program differed from other publi housing programs in that the users of houses built under Turnkey II] would end up owning, not merely renting, the homes they lived in.,” BIA offices in Alaska, feeling the program had applicability for the Pan- handle, put together an application under the program. The project was vif and running. It didn’t run far or fast. In fact ut rather bogged down. For one thing, a problem developed in showing that the ~—PLEASE TURN TO PAGE. 61 ~ ‘aiwe weer Dogsa3aT ‘eta Natives could meet Turnkey III's nteria for financial feasibility; that is, owing that among the residents of the sanous villages there were houscholds sho met the not-too-little, not-too- nuch income limits called for in the ptogram guidelines. In the beginning the application went t» HUD’s San Francisco office, but it cnded up shortly thereafter in Seattle when the department opened its region Ten office in the Northwest. Originally, as noted before, the project was initiat- ed by the BIA, but this agency served { evnly as the initial catalyst to get the application moving. It soon phased out of the picture, replaced by the Alaska Stute Housing Authority, which at that time was the only agency permitted by stite law to serve as a housing authority. If the project was moving slowly through all these changes of locations sid sponsors, at least it was steadily * moving, In June of 1971 came the good news that the federal government would waive financial feasibility documenta- ton. This was good news indeed, be- cause the nature of income (derived mainly from fishing and other seasonal work) in the villages was proving hard to document. The bad news came when the government found that it could not, after all, waive the feasibility require- ments. That’s when Bob Loescher came on the scene. Loescher, an Assemblyman of the City and Borough of Juneau at the time, and a Tlingit-Haida Central Council planner, became instead a special con- sultant to ASHA. He began canvassing the villages, patiently working with one household after another, documenting incomes with tax records and other data to show that the Alaskans could come under the Turnkey III provisions. It was slow work, but steadily and patiently he built the case for ASHA. Vinally the feasibility requirements were satisfied. Proponents of the project, however, had at least one more major hurdle to overcome. In January of 1972 President Nixon, as an anti-inflation measure, . placed a freeze on all new public housing projects which were not actual- ly underway. The 160-unit Alaska job unfortunately fell under this classifica- tion. The pace of progress dropped from slow to dead stop. ~ But not for long. Loescher, Richard SSDSSaT I — | INTINTET FRO To Stitt of Juneau. Marlene Johnson of Hoonah, and Roger Lang (now presi- dent of the Alaska Federation of Natives) teamed up with the Alaska Congressional Delegation in Washington and went to work seeking an exemption from the President’s order. It took a month, and no small measure of lobby- ing and salesmanship, but the freeze was lifted on the Alaska project — the first in the nation to be “unfrozen” and operative again. Before the project was to become a working reality, however, there was one more major change to come about. The Seventh Alaska State Legislature passed a statute which allowed regional Native organizations to assume the powers of housing authorities. Shortly thereafter, with the full cooperation and blessing of ASHA, the total responsibility for the 160-unit Turnkey III and all subsequent projects passed into all-Native hands. — PLEASE TURN PAGE AS % Ror! emt anytime-anyplace Our Volpars cruise 15 passengers 220 miles per hour.

(of Seattle, with offices in Anchorage) and Boyd and Dalton of Ketchikan. A prime con- sideration in awarding the contract, ac- cording to Loescher, was the strong statement promising Indian involvement in the construction process. Now, barely a year later, 85 houses and three community buildings have been completed and owner-occupied. The balance of 75 homes will be finish- ed by early summer. Before that hap- pens construction will be underway on the new 200-unit project and on the 66 units of elderly housing. Virtually everyone connected with the first project undertaken by the authority seems delighted with the way things have worked out. Norman Berg, president of the prime contracting firm, has nothing but praise for the Native employees which made up more than half the workforce at each site. Their work, he told Alaska Indus- try, has resulted in quality homes that the villagers can be proud to own and live in. Another executive who echoes Norman Berg's satisfaction with the Native effort is Ron Andre, President of Blackstock homes (of Seattle), the principal supplier of components from which the houses are made. Blackstock components seem par- ticularly well suited to this kind of project both from the standpoint of providing a quality home for the ulti- mate purchaser and also from the stand- point of Native involvement in erecting and finishing them. “Blackstock homes,” Andre explain- ed, “are not modular units. With a modular you frequently have only two pieces of a relatively complete house; you simply put those two pieces together at the site and you’re done except for some plumbing and other such work. Almost all the employment takes place at the factory and you al- most never have local men employed at the home site. “On the other hand, our houses are not conventional stickbuilt houses either. Under the stickbuilt concept you have literally thousands of uncut boards and nails and parts. You necessarily have a requirement to hire a pretty skilled work force. “Under our component concept we take those same boards in many instances and, at the factory, we build (russes out of two-by-fours and we build wall paneling out of two-by-fours and sheeting and siding and windows and then we ship those panels and other components to the site. There with proper supervision a local labor force with little or no previous experience can erect and finish them. “We’ve been very impressed with the quality of the work that’s been done. Problems have been minimal.” Equally complimentary are federal HUD officials who have monitored the project from its inception. Says Ray Bradley, programs manager for the Seattle office, with responsibility for Washington and Alaska: “The Tlingit- Haida authority appears to be a very fine housing authority. Particularly in the field of minority hiring practices,” says Bradley, “they’ve been far more successful than most of the projects we have anyplace.” HUD’s role in the 160-unit project and the upcoming 200-unit project, inci- dentally, is frequently not understood. The federal government, through HUD, does not actually build, or even provide the money to build any of the homes. “It works this way,” explains Loescher. “We raise money to build the Burgess Construction Company, Alaska’s leading building and heavy engineering contractor since 1948.

HUD comes into the picture by guaranteeing payment of those bonds, and by assisting some homebuyers in making their monthly payments, But HUD does not design the homes or award bids or make any of the day-to-day decisions which must be faced and resolved continuously to keep the projects rolling and on schedule.” With agreement virtually unanimous that the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority has been more than successful in its initial efforts, the ques- tion becomes: Can the authority do as well with the additional projects it has underway? There’s no doubt the answer is definitely yes as far as Bob Loescher is concerned. In fact, he says, with the experience and expertise which he and his staff have gathered putting the 160-unit package together, he is con- fident they can do an even better, more efficient job in the future. Loescher is sold on the concept of regional housing authorities — as con- trasted with a statewide authority such as ASHA. He speaks well of ASHA, but he feels that not only should Native housing be handled on a regional basis, but present ASHA-type projects as well. With regional housing authorities, he says, you have a closeness to the prob- lem that is missing with a statewide agency. On the other hand regional authorities are big enough and cover a sufficient number of projects that they can afford staffs large enough to cover a number of specialties— a feature that purely local housing authorities (which some municipalities propose) might not be able to afford. Regardless of what the state does or does not do in the way of regionalizing its housing effort, however, the Tlingit- Haida authority sees several years of effort ahead in replacing sub-standard housing in the southeastern Alaska bush. The authority hopes to replace fully 75 per cent of the existing homes in the Panhandle’s Indian communities. With the completion of the 160-unit project, the new 200-unit package and the housing for the elderly, only a fourth of the needed 1,600 new houses for the region will have been built. The authority is already working on plans and concepts to fill this void. And the authority is responding to inquiries from non-village communities as well, where the need for Native housing is every bit as acute as in the bush. Problems? There have been many in the past and there will undoubtedly be many in the future — but occasionally some problems seem to take care of themselves. Fucl for heating the new houses, for instance, was thought at first to be a matter of considerable concern when the current fucl crisis burst upon the nation and Alaska. As the new houses have been completed and owner- occupied, however, the experience has been that the houses are so well built and so well insulated they actually con- sume less fuel than the inadequate ram- shackle dwellings they have replaced. In the past, the villagers needed from 200 to 300 gallons of fuel a month to heat their homes. The new authority-built dwellings require only 90 to 120 gallons for the same period. Other problems will not so casily take care of themselves —but theie’s no doubt in the minds of anybody at the authority office that they can and will be solved. “This is a going concern,” says Loescher pridefully. “We're proving that, given the right programs and tools to work with, Alaska’s Native people can handle their own affairs and work out their own solutions. We know... we’re doing it...and if you think our record looks good now just wait a year.” @ SCS data data processing_ Thirty One Eleven C Street British Petroleum Building ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99503 (907) 272-9548 IBM 360/50 COMPUTER... 392 K, TAPES, DISKS, HIGH SPEED PRINTERS, CARD READER, PLOTTER, COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES.

Hickel ended the suspense and announced he would run for governor. Hickel had long been the question mark hanging over the fall campaigns. A number of potential candidates had been standing in the wings, waiting to see which way Hickel would go -- or if he would go, The rumors had had it that he would run for senator against Democrat Mike Gravel. Or, that he would wait it out and see what might develop on the national scene in 1976. But Hickel did neither: He announced that once again he would take on incumbent Democrat William Egan. That is, if he could pass the primary competition consisting so far of his own former lieutenant gover- nor, Keith Miller. In making his announcement, Hickel said that “after meeting with friends throughout Alaska and the nation, I have become convinced that I should run again for public office.” He said “some people have urged me to file for the governorship and others for the U.S. a a ctoclbet?

He introduced the problems to be reviewed at this meeting. He explained that Tlingit-Haida Central Council has $11 million in the village housing program with a projected total of $16 million. Mr. Antioquia reported that BIA has secured, because of requests from village councils, five generators surplussed from the Atomic Energy Commission at Amchitka. One is now located at Hoonah and the four others are in Seattle to be overhauled before shipment to Kake and Klawock. Mr. Widmark explained that the Department of Community and Regional Affairs has funding in their Rural Development Agency which is limited. Their Depart- ment has a Division of Planning which can be of help to villages but they need a request from the village for services needed. The villages are incorporated as First Class Cities, and assistance depends on the city government financial records filed with the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. They also have training programs available for communities on handling reports that are required by State statutes. Mr. William Pritchard of their Department is conducting these training programs. Their Department will help communities search for funds, Federal matching funds (which require thorough record keeping by the city), and Revenue Sharing funds. Also, the Federal Power Administration has funds available for electrical utility systems, but their funds must be repaid from a tax base within the city. Mr. Fabry, City Clerk of Klawock, spoke on their progress. Their Council now meets with regularity two times a month, they have started collections for electrical service since June 1973, and they have hired a utilities clerk -® “Youre 2 to make collections for electricity, water and garbage. Their new sawmill has been a great factor in improving Klawock, offering income to many employees. They have 20 Turnkey houses, with 16 of them now occupied. The City of Klawock has inadequate record keeping and needs help to improve this. Mr. Charles Jackson, Councilman from Kake, reported that their Mayor could not be present due to illmess. He stated that the electrical system at Kake is in critical condition. Their problem is money - and most emergent is money to pay for freight to ship the generators from Seattle to Kake. Mr. Loescher had comments from Frank See, Mayor of Hoonah. Their needs are listed as (1) how to keep. records, (2) how to apply for funds, (3) need to hire people to keep records, (4) no tax base there, and (5) need heavy equipment. Hoonah has one generator out now, and the other has problems due to overload on the system. They are trying to figure ways out to improve the system - a new generator won't help unless there is new wiring, poles, transformers, etc. The cost would be estimated at $300,000 to $500,000. The City is now broke - they have three loans they are unable to pay. Mr. Loescher said he had read of a BIA program in South Dakota whereby a utilities plan was set up and appropriations being sought to aid tribes needed this. Joe Wilson explained that Southeast Agency has no engineering staff except through the Area Office. They coordinate requests, and can request surplus equipment to be given to villages on a use permit, but these can be an expense to operate and the cost of freight to the village must be planned for. Mr. Ray Paddock, Executive Director of Tlingit-Haida Central Council, reviewed the highlights of points made at the meeting: the electrical systems need overhaul, the immediate problem is to redesign the systems. Alaska Power Administration has not moved to provide Snettisham power to Southeast communities. Tlingit-Haida Central Council funds are limited, but this could be changed by vote of the council. The Central Council can offer planning staff to assist. Mr. Stoops of Southeast Alaska Community Action Program (SEACAP) explained that he was here to make notes and report to his Board of Directors. Gerald Gray is with the Planning Office of Tlingit-Haida Central Council. Their greatest problems are cost of freight, overhaul, hookups, etc. Kiawock has a $20,000 from the State Rural Development Agency but will need more. Fred Sloan, Area Plant Management Officer of BIA, said that the Area had \ submitted electrical proposals for villages.to the Washington Office. These same problems have faced us for many years. He recommended that we (1) look at the immediate problems today, and (2) devise.a long-ranye plan, with new concepts to handle utilities in the Southeast cities. Ie asked if Tlingit- Haida could establish a central utilities management organization, similar to the AVEC corporation with a central management core. This could save ‘i money for villages through handling billings, ‘collections, etc. BIA Plant Management had made distribution plans for Kake and Hoonah, redesign of their systems, but these are several years old and would have to be updated to meet the changing layout of the village. These plans can be made available to Stuffer Guinn of Tlingit-Haida. 3 Estimated costs were shown by the following chart: Requirements Estimated Cost Responsibility: Kake Klawock Hoonah Inspect Generators * $5,000 Possible Overhaul 65,000 25,000 25,000 15,000 Split Panels * 13,000 Transport Generators “10,000 4,000 4,000 2,000 Erect Building 106,000 100,000 6,000 Upgrade Distribution Ue fo Systems 805,000 415,000 90 ,000 C 300,000" Hook-up Generators 48,000 20,000 20,000 <8,000 / Inspect Systems * 32,000 14,000 8,000 10,000 Totals 578,000 153,000 335,000 *BIA support Mr. Loescher said that Hoonah has 20 Turnkey houses now, with another 16 to be . constructed. They will be able to charge the development of a new electrical system through hookup allowances from Housing and Urban Development. The City of Hoonah has already purchased eight transformers. Mr. Loescher recapped: that we need to count on BIA technical assistance; the cities need THCC direction to become involved with municipal problems and municipal business; the villages welcome and are receptive to THCC help. The Tribal Council will appoint a coordinator to work with Thlingit-Haida Central Council. Mr. Paddock was asked to obtain a policy decision from the THCC Board of Directors when they meet on January 16. Joe Wilson suggested there may be problems politically. Up to now they have offered their services to smaller communities, and what can they offer the urban areas while they are helping the villages. The organized cities need to address THCC on their need requests. The Tlingit-laida Central Council] would like a cooperative agreement with the Bureau of Indian Affairs for technica], assistance required. Mr. Antioquia explained that BIA can supply technical assistance; we are just short on dollars. Mr. Sloan said that we have an in-house shortage of staff, the various BIA offices who could give technical assistance, like Plant Manage- ment Engineering Center in Denver, and Indian Technical Assistance Center in Denver, are drying up as the emphasis is toward contracts for professional help. 4 Kake recommended that they pay one person in each village to act as their coordinator; an example is at Hydaburg where they have Mr. Sanderson on the payroll and he is most effective. Gerald Gray said that a seminar is planned for village officials like the mayor, city clerk and city planner, to show them how to obtain programs for the village. The proposal to provide one salaried person in each community may be premature. Mr. Loescher directed the question to Kake and Klawock whether they wish the generators overhauled in Seattle and both city representatives agreed that costs would be less if this is done while the generators are in Seattle. The need now is to prepare sites to store the generators when they are delivered to the villages. They cannot be left under plastic or temporary storage - a building is needed with adequate foundation to place the generators. Mr. Antioquia was asked if BIA could fund a position for 90 days to be assigned to TH Housing Authority, or Tlingit-Haida Central Council, or to the State. This individual would do the material estimates, plannig and package unit for each community. Mr. Antioquia agreed to explore this funding possibility. Tlingit-Haida loans have a ceiling, their community development grants are $26,000 and the village must initiate the request to them. Mr. Antioquia said that BIA has $13,000 available to use to split the panels required for the generators. Hoonah needs a panel for the one they have on site now. Mr. Wilson recommended that 2 generators go to Kake, 2 to Klawock and 1 to Hoonah. Mr. Mitchell of BIA will visit Hoonah to see if their gener- ator is compatible to the present panel they have or if another will be needed. Mr. Wilson recommended that the generator at Hoonah remain there, and BIA should get another one for Kake. Mr. Shoan explained that there were six surplus generators originally to be shipped out from Amchitka, but one is missing now and should be traced. Only five arrived in Seattle. The afternoon session began at 1:30 p.m. Mr. Loescher stated that we need to identify who will coordinate overseeing the generators. Tlingit Haida has the capability of this if money is located. Mr. Austin suggested that their cannery managers in Seattle be contacted to monitor overhaul contract, as they are in Seattle for the winter. BIA has Pete Peterson who will inspect and estimate needs for this work. Mr. Wilson will coordinate the BIA Use permits that will be issued to the cities. It was agreed that costs for the overhaul should be consolidated and shared proportionately asto the number of generators each city receives. Klawock said they need a building, cement pad, transfomers. They know that Yakutat has three transformers not in use and they may be available. 5 Kake needs a minumum of 75 poles. They are expensive and hard to locate. They are willing to do the installation if materials caild be provided. They have 65 new homes planned to be constructed on the hill, and the new areas in the community need utility services. Their city layout is changing and this will need a new electrical distribuiton layout design. Mr. Widmark said that the Department of Community and Regional Affairs has a Division of Planning, with Kevin Waring as Director and Larry Kendall assisting. He stressed that these communities are incorporated cities, not villages as has been referred. ‘They are First Class Cities. Southeast municipalities need to upgrade their local covernment and bring it to what it could be; money could be available to them then through bonding or taxation. Local goverment could be improved by having a paid person to keep records. They have powers granted by State statutes, but they require adequate records to use these powers. Mr. Byron Mallott, Commissioner of Community and Regional Affairs, joined the meeting from 2:15 p.m.to 3:15 p.m. He spoke to the participants, explaining that there now exists legislation that authorizes his Department to fund projects such as this, but appropriations are needed by the Legislature. Most of their help now is being done on a crisis basis - they can advocate the interests of the cities in the Legislature. Rural Development Agency has priority on electrical needs of the communities. Their total budget for grants amounts to only $500,000 and, of necessity, this limits a single city to a $20,000 grant. Kake and Hoonah, with local effort, can in a relatively few years be able to respond to local problems through their tax base. Mr. Mallott said that his Department will take a look at repeat requests for RDA grants. He talked about money available through Revenue Sharing, from the Federal government. Very few communities applied for this, and those that did have not made the required reports to continue their eligibility. The Government funding requires fiscal accountability on public monies and without this, money can not be made available. The Department of Community and Regional Affairs is willing to send their staff to help local governments if they receive a request. Mr. Mallott also said that a bill will be introduced into the Legislature for a municipal bond bank, to be utilized for smaller communities in the State who can't meet bonding requirements now. Kake asked if it is possible to designate a portion of profits from their cannery income, such as fish eggs, to be set aside for community income in lieu of taxes, for community development. Mr. Widmark explained that under the original IRA plan, 25 percent of the cannery profits were to go back to the community - where does it go now? This was answered that the IRA specifies that the business for which the loan was made must show a profit before the 25 percent will go to the community. This has never been accomplished as none of the canneries have shown profits, and many have had to had loans forgiven as they could not meet payments on the loans. Mr. Austin commented under Item III of the agenda, that their village report was they have two Waukashas 100 KW, but they do not synchronize. They got a new CAT which is the only unit they use now. They need site preparation for anew building. They plan to locate the site between the cannery and the city, and later on want to include the logging camp for electrical distribution. 6 It was suggested that Kake take a look at a new Butler building which may be cheaper to put up than trying to re-use the old disassembled building from Amchitka. Kake is using their people for city work who have become delinquent in rents. This is getting several projects accomplished. Mr. Loescher recapped - they have identified money, the target areas will be put into writing for the cities to review, and THCC will have a compre- hensive report available by the first week in February. He commented that the worse thing that could happen now would be to drop this planning start. Mr. Antioquia reviewed the commitments of the Bureau of Indian Affairs: - BIA will inspect the generators - BIA will pay costs to split the panels - BIA will provide technical assistance > BIA will work with Charlie Guinn in reviewing electrical distribution systems for the villages - BIA will explore funding one coordinator for three months - BIA will inspect final systems and upgrading existing plans - BIA will initiate use permit documents - BIA will screen excess property lists for other generators.

Box 14100 Las Vegas, Nevada 89114 Dear Mr. Smits: This letter is to officially confirm the Bureau's acceptance of the Amchitka main power plant, as referred to in your letter of August 31, 1972, as ALC excess property becoming available in the summer of 1973. We will avait your issuance of a SF~120 form to initiate transfer and be prepared to issue a purchase order for packing, crating, and special preparation out of 1974 FY funds (ie after 7-1-73). I certainly appreciate the cooperation and thoughtfulness of AEC in making disposition to us of this ontire power plant for usa in Alaska. We hope to tie it to a Proposed Electrification Program (PEP) for Alaskan villages that would provide engineering design, and grant construction funds for distribution and generation facilities. This has been requested by the Bureau for 1974 FY and could be launched with such as your model Amchitka power plant. Again, thanks on behalf of Kake and Klawock for this modern, top condition generation equipment. I will endeavor to keep you informed ag to when it is again on-the-line, energized.

The switchgear had been used to control five 500 KW diesel-electric generator sets used at Amchitka Island, Alaska during nuclear tests held there. The switchgear was manufactured in 1968 at Seattle by the Republic Electric and Develop- ment Co. whose home office is 1619 Luthy Drive, Pioneer Park, Peoria, Illinois, Zip Code 61614. The switchgear was built on Redco Job No. SG3792 for the A, E. C,'s design contractor Holmes and Narver Inc. on their purchase order No. DO817A. The switchgear is now located at the Federal Center South, 4735 East Marginal Way So., Seattle, Washington. It consists of three sections of four units each totaling twelve units of 5 KV, 1,200 amp bus, switch- gear using Westinghouse type DH-P circuit breakers. The’reason for modification of this switchgear is so it can be separated into two functional sections: One section consisting of four units will be used at the town of Klawock, Alaska to control two of the five original gen- erator sets; and the other section consisting of eight units will be used at the town of Kake, Alaska to control the other three generator sets. The original arrangement: of the switchgear is shown on A, E. C. drawing No. P-069-E8.2 attached. The desired arrangements of the switchgear is shown on Bureau of Indian Affairs Dwg. 3907-El attached. The original switchgear was arranged in three shipping sections which will be maintained intact so no major separating of structural frame- work will be required. The desired functional changes are to be achieved by exchanging doors and equipment between units and by adding new equipment as described in Sections 16A-5 and 6 below. 16A-2 CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS: All equipment used and work per- formed on the switchgear shall conform to the requirements of this specification and to the requirements of the latest issue of the follow- ing codes and standards: National Electric Safety Code Handbook H30 Nema Standards: #SG4 Circuit Breakers, A-C High Voltage #HV1-1973 Insulators, High Voltage #SG5-1971 Switchgear Assemblies, Power American Standards Association: #C37.90-1971 Relays and Systems Associated with Electric Power Apparatus #C37.20-1965 Switchgear Assemblies Including Metal Enclosed Bus. 1-16A 16A-3 BASE BID, EXTRAS AND OPTION: It is recognized that there is a greater element of uncertainty involved when bidding modification and rehabilitation work. In order to reduce the contingencies involved, bidders are requested to make a Base Bid on the assumption that all equipment intended to be reused will be reusable without new parts. Then, if during the required inspection and maintenance it is discovered that new parts or new equipments are needed, the cost of such replace- ment parts or equipment will be allowed as an extra, It will be neces- sary for the Contractor to hold any such damaged parts as proof of his claim. The before and after drawings of the switchgear show that in the Kake switchgear the original totalizing and Station Service Unit and the Feeder #2 Unit are to exchange locations in the line-up. This exchange is not a functional requirement but is shown because it is believed that space limitation in the feeder compartment will not allow the installation of the bus current transformers unless the feeder breaker is removed. If this is not the case then the bus C, T.'s may be in- stalled in the feeder compartment bus ahead of the breaker tap and the two units will not be required to be exchanged. 16A-4 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE DATA: Within two weeks of award of the contract, the successful bidder will be furnished a complete set of information on the original switchgear and its component parts. This information will include the following: 1. A set of reproducible drawings: REDCO Dwg #3792 D-1 3 sheets Schematics REDCO Dwg #3792 D-2 8 sheets General Arrangement REDCO Dwg #3792 D-3 11 sheets Wiring Diagrams REDCO Dwg #3792 D-4 1 sheet Interconnections 2. A copy of the Instruction Book which contains manufacturer's catalog data on circuit breakers, switches, meters, relays, etc., plus a Bill of Material of all equipment installed in the switchgear. It is felt that this data will help the successful bidder to accomplish the modification work and to meet the requirements for O&M data with a minimum need for engineering and office time. For example, since the required modification work does not include any functional changes at all, many of the existing drawings shall still apply to the revised line up with only minor or no revisions.: Also, some of the original drawings are redundant while others contain information not neccessary to the field and they may be deleted. The required information to be shipped with the modified equipment to each town shall include the following: 2-16A 1. 2. Six copies of switchgear drawings revised to reflect all changes from the original and to include at least a Schematic and a Wiring Diagram for each different type of unit; two General Arrangement drawings showing a front view, sectional views and a base plan of the line-up; and an Interconnection Diagram drawing correct for each line-up. Three copies of the original Instruction Book and Bill of Material. 16A-5 NEW EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: The following list includes all the new major items of equipment known to be required to complete the modifica- tion: 1. 2.

All cams, gears, pins and mechanical linkages shall be cleaned and lubricated as required. 16A-8 SPARE PARTS: Existing spare parts for the switchgear are stored in the back of old auxiliary - Generator #5 Unit. Spare auxiliary re- — lays, exciter brushes, indicating lamps and bulbs, various sizes of fuses, and miscellaneous items are included. These spare parts should be divided and one-third of them shipped with the Klawock switchgear and two-thirds of them shipped with the Kake switchgear. Since there is only one set of the levers and ratchet wrenches needed for manually operating a circuit breaker; it will be necessary for the contractor to provide an additional set of these special tools in order that each location will have a set. 16A-9 RELAY SETTINGS: Existing protective relay settings should be reused for all the generator panel relays. These panels have phase differential relays with time dial setting of 1; phase overcurrent relays with tap setting of 4 and time dial setting of 2.5jneutral overcurrent relays with tap setting of 2 and time dial setting of 4; neutral differential relays with lower pole tap setting of 0.25, upper pole tap setting of 1, and time dial setting of 1; and a power direc- tional relay with tap setting of 0.2 and a time dial setting of 2. For the Klawock switchgear feeder the phase overcurrent relays should have the tap setting at 2.5 and the time dial setting at 1.2. For the Kake switchgear both Feeder 1 and 2 phase overcurrent relays should have the tap setting at 3 and the time dial setting at 1.2. All the neutral overcurrent relays should have the tap setting at 0.5 and the time dial setting at 0.5. 16A-10 PAINTING: The switchgear paint is in fair condition but there are some scratches and some rusty spots. A touch up paint job is desired. Areas to be touched up should be cleaned of all rust and painted with one coat of rust preventative paint followed with two coats of switchgear paint mixed to match the existing paint coat. 16A-11 TESTING: After all work is complete the switchgear is to be tested and high-potted. 8-16A ie Energize all control circuits with proper voltage and open and close all circuit breakers by each of the various trip and close circuits. 2. Megger all low and high voltage circuits. (Do not megger or high-pot meters, switches and instruments, only the circuits.) 3. Apply high potential tests of twice rated voltage plus 1,000 volts to all circuits for 60 seconds. 16A-12 PACKING FOR EXPORT: The switchgear is to be packaged for ship- ment to Alaska and it must be suitably protected and bolted to a skid so it can be handled by a fork lift or a crane. 16A-13 WARRANTY: The contractor will be expected to provide one years warranty on all new equipment which he installs in the switchgear. He will be required to warranty the work he performs to be free of errors or faulty workmanship for a period of one year from the date the equip- ment is packaged for delivery. He will not be held responsible for any failure of existing equipment in the switchgear unless such failure is a direct result of wiring errors or other work which the contractor has done. In any case, contractor liability will be limited to replace- ment of failed equipment or parts. 9-16A STANDARD FORM 33, JULY 1966 GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION FED PROC REG.

We received all the drawings and list of materials on this job last week. Last Monday I ordered parts, and today General Electric tells me that it will be ten (10) to twelve (12) weeks delivery on most of the items that we need for this job. I have enclosed a copy of the list of materials for your reference. I will send you more in- formation later when we receive an acknowledgement from General Electric. The meters and the existing swing panel are ABI6 type, 8" square. The reason they use such large meters is because of the length of the switch- gear. I don't think it is necessary to use such large meters for the Klawock lineup since it is only four cubicles long. Therefore, I have ordered AB40 type meters for the new swing panel. If ABI6 meters are desired in place of the AB40's, please let me know and I will order such. We are still missing the arc chutes for the two air circuit breakers and the necessary maintenance tools for manually operating the air circuit breakers. We do have one turning dolly. These items may still be at the terminal. In the meantime, I will wait until I hear from you before I order these items. I have already ordered one set for the Klawock lineup. We have found a considerable amount of moisture within the switchgear. Moisture had even penetrated the tape on the bus to the extent that the copper itself was wet. Meanwhile, each section has been scraped, primed and painted where rust had shown through. | veve woparuncie vl anterior Page 2 March 16, 1974 We have found several items on the switchgear which were broken. I am going ahead and ordering these parts. I will keep these parts separate for your inspection. I will hold off before I price out what the new parts would cost us and save this in the end just before we ship. The broken parts are as follows: 1 - Broken escutcheon plate for governor switch 1 - New glass for a COV-9 overcurrent relay 1 - Damaged DC ammeter, DB40 type 0 - 60 scale 2 - Broken plates for ammeter switch 2 - Broken plates for a voltmeter switch 2 - Broken plates for a synchroscope switch ] - Damaged strip heater, 208 volt, 150 watt 1 - Corroded ground bus, % x 4 x 10 feet I realize we have 60 calendar days after notification of award. I would like to request extension for a shipping date up to June 20, 1974. In other words we would ship on or before June 20. I realize this seems like a long time, but I think it is necessary to allow for the new parts coming in and also to give us a good long lead time to complete a thorough test due to the conditions of the moisture in the switchgear. We would like to take our time and test the lineup to make sure that all relays, meters, and associated equipment are working properly. Also, this would give us some time in case some device was defective electrically. If you have any questions concerning these points, would you please con- tact me.

Mr. Burd nas been retained by the city of Klawock and will be in charge of the switchgear installation. I would like to ask for clear- ance on a few suggestions which Mr. Burd has asked of me. They are as follows: 1. 16A-6-E-8 calls out for a new 5KV disconnect switch to be installed in an enclosure on the side of the switchgear. According to Mr. +s, Burd the facilities in which the switchgear is to be installed will .¢ not allow the enclosure to be on the side of the switchgear. Mr. ‘(sh Burd and I agree to enclose the disconnect switch in an enclosure which can be wall mounted. Before we proceed we want your authorization. 2. We have almost comoleted the Klawock switchgear.

On May 14, I completed testing the Klawock switchgear. During this test, I found a defective reverse power relay. This relay was replaced by one that was in the Kake switchgear. Meanwhile, I have sent the defective relay to G.E. Apparatus for repairs. It would not be feasible at this time to replace this defective relay with a new one since the cost would be around $700.00 and would require 16 weeks delivery. On May 21, Mr. Charles Guinn inspected the Klawock switchgear. He gave me verbal permission to release the switchgear for shipping. The Klawock switchgear will be shipped to Klawock the 30th of May. We will be sending you an invoice for $4,400.00 which is 1/3 of this contract. : The following will bring you up-to-date on what parts we have ordered as per 16A-3 of the specifications.

Timber sales are made by she Forest Supervisor located at Ketchikan. Timber Sale contracts require that ali the nerchantable timber within a designated cutting unit will be cut. Logging in the National Forest of Alaska is done largely by purchasers who contract to sell logs to manufacturing plants." The allowable annual cut for the Ketchikan-Craig circle is 290 MBF. From this the Ketchikan Pulp Cov annual cut is 165 MBF. ‘fhus there isan opportunity for addi oD tional industries to utilize the remaining 125 MBF. The utilization of the remaining 125 MBF varies from year to year depending on sales to smaller operations. Most smali sales are for a period of 1 to 5 yedrs. Consequently, there are opportunities for new industries to utilize the timber resources, if they caa successfully compete against the Ketchikan Pulp Co. A : There is 200 MEF that could be used annually if the inaccessible nature could be over come. Some of the factors that cause inaccessibility is the steep grades, shallow soils, and the exhoribent -cost constructing roads to the timber stands. Eventually the inaccessible nature due to economic will be overcome. However, those barriers which aré of a physical nature may never be over cone. For instance, if the Federal government assisted financially in the construction of roads those inaccessible steuds could be made available.

Klawock is 215 air miles from Juneau, 745 air miles from Anchorage and 755 air miles from Seattle. It is in the Prince of Wales Census District, and it is in the region of the Tlingit and Haida Central Council. Description: Southeast Alaska was recently (in geological history) over- lain by glaciers; the topography is determined by glacial erosion on the Pacific Mountain System. Channels, straits, and fiords are carved into the terrain, forming the innumerable small islands and several large islands of the Alexander Archipelago. An abundance of rain (109.5 inches at Klawock a year) on the Archipelago fosters a thriving rain forest, which has been organized as the Tongass National Forest. The climate is maritime, with mean annual temperatures ranging from 32° to 60°. Climate*: ’ Average Temperature Period Min. Mean Max. January 29.3 34.3 39.3 July 35.3 42.2 49.0 Annual 38.9 45.0 51.0 Average Annual Precipitation 109.5 inches Elevation 15 feet Prevailing Wind Direction Southeast *Weather data for Craig, seven miles distant, used due to lack of information on Klawock. Klawock has poor local drainage, and coastal flooding occurs once every 100 years. There is a tsunami warning system. History: Klawock is the principal village of the Henya tribe of the Tlingit Indians. It was first reported in 1853 on a Russian Hydrographic chart #1493, as "Sel Klyakkhan" or "Klyakkhan Settlement," located west of Shinakee Inlet. This was probably the old location of Klawock prior to the building of a cannery at the present site in 1878. A post office was established in 1882. Population and Labor Force (1) In 1970, the population was 213, of which 195 were Native, or 92%. 113 were male and 100 were female. 72 children were enrolled in the city school (grades 1 - 8) in the school year. Between 1950 and 1960, the population decreased from 404 to 251. (2) The size of the labor force, the participation rate, and any significant variations according to sex, age, and race. (Manpower survey to be conducted by Pauline Peratrovich.. (3) The present total of unemployed, the percentage this represents of the labor force, has changed over the preceding 5 years, and any variations by sex, age, and race. (How has the sawmill affected the labor force?) Have significant numbers of people been unemployed for longer than a year? What are the skills and educational levels of the unemployed? (4) The principal labor needs of the area. a. sawmill How the demand for labor is changing seasonal employment problems (cannery operates on a seasonal basis) and increase in particular skill requirements. Where the jobs are located, wage rates, and how these rates compare with- those outside the area (i.e., Ketchikan, Metlakatla). | (5) The educational levels of people in the area. What ineettagis over 25 years have completed 12 years or more of school? What is the average number of years of school completed? HOw does it compare with that of people in surrounding jurisdictions? The Economy (1) The principal economic activities of the area include fishing and forestry. Number employed, contribution to area's economy? All major employers should be clearly identified and described. Note: This section should include descriptions of the cannery and sawmill in terms of economic activities. (2) The major change in employment has occurred as a result of the completion and operation of the sawmill. (What kind of change, i.e., more employment.) (3) Area's Economic Tics to the Surrounding Region: Klawock depends -6- largely upon the City of Ketchikan for the majority of services which are not provided. The high school students must be bussed to the Prince of Wales High School in Craig. (4) Financial Resources Available: The Prince of Wales Branch of the First National Bank of Ketchikan is located in Craig. The Tlingit anid Haida Federal Credit Union is a credit union owned entirely by its own members and is operated by and for them exclusively. It was organized under the federal laws governing credit unions. Its purpose is to promote thrift and provide low cost loans for its members. The dividend for shares (savings) is 7% annually, paid semi-annually. Savings are insured by the federal government up to $20,000. The maximum loan amount is $1,000 per individual and $1,500 for families. Therefore, personal loans are readily available. However, commercial loans are not. Since the community of Klawock presently has an outstanding bond of $128,000.00, the city would (probably) not be will- ing to raise money through increased bonded indebtness for their local share of projects. (Contact Bill Fullan in Ketchikan at Mary Frances for further information. ) (5) Community Facilities - Sewage, Water, and Garbage Disposal: The development of a water source and transmission lines through Klawock to the cannery was funded by the Economic Development Administration and the City of Klawock. The total cost of the project was $704,000. $128,000 of the total amount was a loan made to the city. The Public Health Service extended existing water lines to houses constructed by the Tlingit and Haida Housing Authority; installed a sewage system which will be completed during the summer of 1975; and worked on a joint agreement between Craig and Klawock for a land fill site and hauling vehicle. The sewage treatment plant is scheduled for completion during the summer of 1975 as well as sewage and water lines to the second phase of Tlingit and Haida Housing. _ The project was initiated in Fiscal Year 1972 and will be completed in Fiscal Year 1975. The total cost of the project has been $968,000 plus an estimated $99,000 for the second phase. Educational Institutions: The elementary school has 6 classrooms, 86 pupils, 4 teachers, 5 teacher's aides and 1 cook. The high school students are bussed to the Prince of Wales High School located at Craig. However, a controversy concerning the site of a new regional high school exists between the communities of Craig and Klawock. The community of Klawock prefers to. have the school located outside of both city limits. Both councils and school boards must decide. (Administration - controversy) Neutral territory. Neutral administration. Industrial Parks and Major Sites: Land located on the water can be made available to companies interested in locating at Klawock. Hospitals and Clinics: Presently the residents must be transported to Ketchikan or Sitka for hospital care. Public Health Service doctors and dentists visit the village on a regular basis. A health aide is available. No clinic except in school. | Cultural and Recreational Facilities: Movie house and Alaska Native Brotherhood Hall which may be used for basketball and other community éeouts, Klawock's natural terrain and location invites camping, boating, hiking and other related activities. The Forest Service maintains a boat launch at Klawock for public use. A small library is located in the school; the Salvation Army has the only denominational facility in Klawock. A new gymnasium was constructed. (How much, by whom?) Transportation: The Klawock airport was funded by the Federal Aid to Airports program and the State Department of Public Works. The State Division of Aviation is the owner and sponsor of the airport. The total cost was $1,476,223.00 of which the federal government's contribution was 62% with the State contributing the remainder. The airport was begun in 1968 and completed in the fall of 1973. The coordinating agencies were the State-Federal theless and the U.S. Forest Service. Alaska Airlines and Coast Air make three daily stops. Smaller charter firms available. The mail boat services this community through a small warehouse. More adequate facilities are available through the cannery -9- operation. There are two taxi cabs for the Craig-Klawock area and a school bus for commuting students. (Mention Chilkat (ferry system) & road to Hollis.) The dock in Hollis is scheduled for completion in September. The MV Chilkat will begin scheduled trips to Hollis following completion of the landing facility . The Klawock to Harris River road was constructed by the State of Alaska linking the Hollis logging road network with Klawock. A packet prepared by the U.S. Forest Service is attached for further information concerning the Prince of Wales Island Road System. Due to road construction underway, the Klawock to Craig stretch of highway is closed Monday through Friday. A shuttle boat offers passenger service 3 times daily between the two towns. Upon completion of the facility at Hollis and the two-lane road between Craig and Klawock, improved accessi- bility will, no doubt, attract more visitors to the Klawock area. Presently, there are no facilities in Klawock to meet the needs of these visitors. A six- unit motel with restaurant is going to be constructed to accommodate visitors. Communications: Radio reception from Ketchikan; no television; neighboring community newspapers. Telephone service provided by Sitka Telephone Company. Water: Built by Yukon Service Company and supplied from Klawock dam. -10- Roads and Electrification: Klawock electricity is supplied by generator located in the public cannery. The school has their own power plant. The eae eee Sai - Ny capacity of these plants is not adequate to meet the demands of the village. The electricity for the sawmill is privately generated. A joint meeting was conducted with the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority , Southeast Agency, several state agencies, the Area Office of BIA, all Tlingit and °. Haida entities and mayors and councilmen from Hoonah, Kake, and Klawock. The program approach developed for resolving electrical generation problems included a $60,000 commitment by the State to participate in assisting re-electrification of these 3 villages and assignment of an electri- cal engineer to the Tlingit and Haida Regional Housing Authority by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to do necessary design and engineering work for determination of total project cost for establishing up-to-date generating plants and updated electrical distribution systems lacking in these 3 villages. Roads Program: The 1973 Highway Act amended definition of "Indian reservation roads and bridges" to include roads and bridges located within or to provide access to Indian and Alaska Native Villages, Groups, or Communities in which Indians and Alaskan Natives reside, whom the Secretary of the Interior has determined are eligible for services generally applicable to Indians. Therefore, assistance must be obtained from the Ali Juneau Area Office to assist the Southeast Agency in developing a com- prehensive Road Development Plan for our Native Village. The Juneau Area Office must seek a higher level of funding for road development for fiscal year 1975. ! One quarter mile of new roads have been built. (From where, what money?) List other roads under construction or which need to be repaired. or developed. Streets were redone. (6) Local Services and Agencies: Klawock is a First Class City with a Mayor/Council form of government. The city sales tax rate is 2%. There are no real or personal property taxes, although Klawock has received $4,363 from the State Revenue Sharing Program and $1,785 for FY '74, $960 for FY '75 from the Federal Revenue Sharing Program. The fire department is volunteer with one vehicle. In order to provide maximum protection, the construction of a fire building along with the pro- curement of an efficient vehicle would be desirable and necessary. One Alaska State Trooper provides police protection for the entire Prince of Wales Island, (including the neighboring towns of Craig and Hydaburg). The Klawock Heenya Corporation organized under the Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement Act will conduct its first annual meeting on October 4, 1974 \ -12- for the purpose of electing a board of directors. It is expected that the village corporation will greatly affect planning and economic development once the organizational tasks are completed and land selections are made. List local, state, and federal agencies with major specific responsibilities that affect planning or economic development and industrial development groups.

PACKGROUND INFORMATION The Occanside Packing Co., oimed by the Klawock Cooperative \ Association, currently furnishes power to the Village of Klawock. Their main concern is power for themselves, however, and they : ae are interested in having the village own, operste, and maintain their own power facilities. The village wants this also. The cannery (O.P. Co.) would be willing to buy power from the village (keeping their plants as stand-by) if reliable power were nade available. If the villare facilities were not capcble of hsndling the canmery requirenents during the surmer vhen the cannery is in full operation, the cannery would still be will- ing to purchase pover during the winter when their demand is relatively small. of) The Oceanside Vecking Co. currently furnishes 24 hour power to the villare. They charge the village a flat rate cf $500.60/ronth during the winter, and $250.00/month during the summer. The idea behind the difference in rates is that during the suuner the cannery is in overetion anyway. The setual cost te the cannery (fuel, oi], otc.) to provide power to the villare, accordines to | Mr. Lars Nerlerd, Cannery Maneger, is apprexirately ¢S06/month. i. The village counéil in tura charges village users a flat monthly t rate, The village cocs not have anyone to improve or maintain their portion of the system, and if something is nevded or work necds to be done, it is only throush conations of time and waterial by the cannery that this is scconmplished, — eee J £9 iw ob x ORT ee ee r in eg ets ak Se ee a 8 he, : eran seawg ks a eee aint Ta De Fs By tow ng Halt Vt 4. 5.

It should also plan to sell power to the school year around. The waximum load would then range from about 160 Lilowatts during the summer to a maxirtuna of 235 kilowatts in the winter. This couid best be handled by utilizing three generators. Possibly two 250 KH units and one 700 KW unit would best handle the loads, This would eliminate the need for synchronizine rear (which could be added later as the power requirenents increase), and would pro- vide standby eenecration, It is also recenmended that the electrical distribution systeam at Khweck be completely renewed, Depending on what Klawock decides, a complete sect of plens, material lists, and a complete cost estimate would be the next sten in plan- ning a new clectrical system for the villace. These should be made up for (1) the generators and related equipment (includine the generator building), (2) the distribution sys tom and (3) the fuel systen, Charles J.

Management Officer sunjecr: Status Report ~ \Loouan i Kane , (Mrawoew ) curnw ant As the new Superintendent for Southeast Alaska, you will be interested in a brief status report to familiarize your office with projects we are involved with in your area. Following each community listed below is a description of the project and our accomplishments. : A. HOONAH - Electrical Distribution & Generation Rehabilitation . On February 17, 1970, Don Anderson and Charles Guinn Jr., went to Hoonah at the request of Mayor Frank See through the Southeast Superintendent. Their purpose was to examine the City's existing electrical distribution system, the new powerhouse and new diesel electric sets, the new mutual help housing project needing power, and to consult with the Mayor about Plant Management providing engineering services to the City. They found Hoonah in direneed of (1) a completely new electrical distribution system, (2) improved generation facilities, and (3) immediate service to the 15 new homes which were (then) nearly completed. Since that time Plant Management has, with the help of Tom See and Dave Pearson from Mt. Edgecumbe, provided material and manpower and (1) completed an extension of the existing power lines and tied in the 15 new homes and (2) replaced transformers, insulators, tightened connections, and generally provided interim improvements (prior to an eventual new system) to minimize the overload situation and other dangerous conditions. We also requested PMEC's assistance and they undertook the task of designing (1) a completely new city-wide distribution system and (2) a new powerhouse installation. The latter design incorporated two 500 KW Sterling electric sets (previously acquired by Hoonah from surplus sources through Senator Gruening) and an addition to the powerhouse building. PMEC also provided itemized matcrial lists and cost estimates to supplement the 27 sheets of design plans. The finished package reached our office, and subsequently the City of Hoonah, on February 4, 1971. The total cost for the project, including material, labor, contingency and a location factor, was estimated at $432,113.00. This ended Plant Management's commitment to the City of Hoonah. Hoonah's problem now is money; according to Mayor Frank See, the city is not financially able to buy the necded material or to hire a private contractor. Mayor See has been soliciting both Federal and State agencics for assistance--either by way or an out-and-out grant or a long-term loan. To my knowledge, he has not been successful. KAKE - Electrical Distribution & Generation Rehabilitation The City of Kake proposed to make application to a private agency for a loan to completely modernize and expand its distribution system and generation facilities. They did not (do not) have funds to pay a private engineering firm to prepare apeliminary design, and, again through the Southeast Superintendent, we were requested to assist. PMEC has undertaken the new design, and in March, 1971, Mr. Lowell Peterson of PMEC and Charles Guinn Jr., of Juneau Plant Management traveled to Kake to examine the City's existing distribution system and generation facilities, to determine the present and future power requirements and to gather other data pertinent to designing a modern, city-wide electrical system. When completed, the plans, along with detailed material lists and cost estimates, will be brought to our office and to the City of Kake for review. Tentatively, this will occur in mid-September, 1971. On February 11, 1971, Kake requested the use of two 100 KW diesel electric sets available from our Plant Manayement Area Service Center in Anchorage. These units were to provide prime power to their City until the new system is realized. Kake agreed to pay the freight on the units, but requested a mechanic to help with the installation, start-up and operator training. They also requested an electrician to properly hook-up the units to the local distribution system and to check them out for proper metering and ability to synchronize with the City's plant and each other. Plant Management spent over $2000.00 moving the 2 units to our shop in Anchorage. They were inspected, tested under load, generally overhauled, painted, and shipped to Kake in early March. Subsequently, Ernie Schmitt and Walt Noden, our Area Electrician and mechanic, respectively, went to Kake and spent two weeks installing and checking out the units. Mr. Schmitt also spent some time balancing the city load; currently either unit will singly handle Kake's existing power requirements. Later in March, our office received a call from Mayor Carlson requesting a mechanic to repair a damaged starting engine and an electrician to adjust a hydraulic governor on one of the new 100 KW generators. We complied, and the problems were resived within a week. In April Charles Guinn Jr. again went to Kake at the Mayor's request. This time he was to assist in.designing a system which would incorporate into the cannery's low-voltage electrical generation facilities a new stand-by, 150 KW, 2400 Volt generator. Ie cane up with a workable, low-cost plan (which was what the Cannery wanted), and sent the completed design to Kake a few days after his return to Juneau. Subsequent conversation with Mayor Carlson discbsed that the design had been implemented and is working fine. c. Cxianock)- Survey of Electrical System At the request of Mr. Frank Peratrovich, President of the Klawock Cooperative Association, through the Southeast Superintendcnt, Charles Guinn Jr. of Juneau Plant Management visited Klawock on May 19, 1970. ° His purpose was twofold: first, to survey the existing clectrical system and make recommendations for improvements, and second, to check into the feasibility of the city establishing its own power system. Currently, the Oceanside Packing Co. (owned by The Klawock Cooperative Association) fuynishes power to city users; both the city and the cannery are interested in having the City own, operate and maintain its own utility system. a> Without going into great detail, Mr. Guinn found that a completely new distribution system is needed. Reasons are as follows: The existing clectrical system was installed about 30 years ago, and except for additons and minimal operational maintenance neth inghas been done to up-date the system. Shell-rot is evident on the poles and crossarms, downguys have loosened (possibly from the rotting of the deadmen), almost all primary and sccondary wire is too small for even the existing loads, much of its insullation is weathered and frayed, transformers have cOrroded and show signs of overheating and leakage, service drops are undersized and deliver only 110 volts to the residences, and service entrances consist simply of two wires run through a hole in a wall to a panel containing only individual circuit fuses. In short, the system has slowly deteriorated to a potentially dangerous level. According to Mr. Lars Nerland, cannery manager at Klawock, if a new village electrical syston is realized, the cannery would be willing vo buy power from the village. They would, however, (and Mr. Nerland was quite emphatic about this), keep their existing facilities (including generation cquipment, fuel storage tanks, etc.) intact for stand-by purposes. This means that, if the City of Klawock goes into the power business, thcy must: 2 1. Install a completely new distribution system. 2. Obtain their own generators, complete with control panels, switchgear, and other related equipment. 3. Build a powerhouse for the generation equipment. Possibly one of the deserted buildings might serve this purpose. “4. Obtain bulk oil storage tanks. 5. Hire a full-time trained operator to be in charge of plant operation. Perhaps he could also maintain the distribution system, read kilowatt-hour meters, keep records, etc.. Details including distribution’ voltages, transformer and pole data, existing ycneration facilities, existing fue] storage, existing and future loads (for both summer and winter-with and without the cannery as a customer), etc., are covered in Charles Guinn's trip report on file in Plant Management's office. Copies were sent to the Southeast Superintendent, the Division of Credit and Finance, and the Division of Tribal Operations. Included was a cover memo by Mr. Don Anderson with suggestions to expedite action. KLUKWAN - “Electrical Power Survey On July 1, 1970, our office was requested to assist Klukwan choose a diesel electric set to provide the village with prime power. Don Mitchell of PMEC (who was in the area) and Charles Guinn Jr. traveled to Klukwan in Early July and spent a day looking over Klukwan's existing system, making power estimates, consulting with local leaders on possible future loads, and drawing a plot plan of the existing distribution system. After returning to Juneau, Charles Guinn submitted a short report to the Southeast Superintendent outlining (1) Klukwan's existing and future power requirements, (2) reasons for buying a low voltage unit, (3) a list of 4 diesel electric sets which would fit Klukwan's needs, and (4) a brief cost comparison between two of the units under consideration. I believe that the Southeast Superintendent sent this information to Klukwan for any action they might want to take. (ne nal C0Ca. WU esa oO Area Plant Management Officer : CN. Loy @-F July 6, 1972 Mr. James J. Lutz PHS Alaska Native Health Service OEH Construction Office, S. E. Box 816 Ketchikan, Alaska 99901 Dear Mr. Lutzs In response to your latter to Mr. Charles Guinn of this office regarding new electrical power generation and distribution for the Village of Klawock, I'm afraid wa must paint a dim picture. We do not, as you know, have the funding to assist in such a project. We have, however, in the nast provided technical assistance (engineering, material lists, cost estinates, eta.) to other villages with sinilar electrical problems, and would probably be able to do the same for Klawock should we be requested. Klawock's immediate problem (disregarding the very poor condition of the existing distribution system) is the lack of adequate generation facilities, They now have use of one 75 and two 50 KV qenerators--the 75 and one 50 ran continuously (and, inecidently, are fully loaded), and the other 50 is the stand-by. According to Mr. Gninn's report after visiting Klawock in May of 1970, talks with Mr. tyron Skinna of Klawock, and information from Mr. Robert Loescher of Tlinget and Haida, thea total near future sunrer load of the village (excluding the cannery, but including the school end the new homes soon to be built) will ba about 200 KW. The load during tha winter (with the cannery on the dine) wilt be about 250 KW, In view of the above, wo recoirionded to Klawock that they should plan to size their units accordingly-~L.e., a sdnimum of two 250 or two 390 Kil units as prire power, and a swallor unit, poasibly oa 150, as the stand-by. At this time we thought that two 300 KW wits we had available throuyh surplus from the Air Yorce at Galena would be ideal for Kiawock. Upon exaulnation of the units, hovever, we found that they were in very poor shape and that it would be econontcally unfeasible to atterpt to renovate then, In short I don't see any Limediate solution to Klawock's generation problem. We are still looking for surplus generators in the 250-300 KW range, and we will certainly notify Klawock if any turn up. The prospects for this happening in the near future ara, however, poor and your department should not count on it. We will keep you advised of any developments. Plaaga notify us if we can bo of further assistance. Sincerely yours, F. D.

Charlie Quinn informed me that he had traveled to Anchitka, had nunbered andi labeled the plants and the buildings for Klavnck and Kake. .

Tiere is a problem at Kake because there is no funds available for installation of the plant or the stringing of the power poles, Hovever, the cannery at Klavock has already comlcted the construction of the pad for the installation of the power facility at Klawock. The Klawock camnery is planning to install two nav generators along with two 500's that is going to be sent form Anchitka to Klavock. The cannery will also provide the a@mertise to install the paver plants and wire the controls and build the building, Me. Guinn was very hesitant to give a time table as to when this would be canpleted, but it was optimistic that it would be done before winter sot in. GPG:cg MEMORANDUM E September 6, 1973 For the FROM : Gerald Gray’ / SUBJECT: Klawock Electrical, Mr. Chet Ross, Manager Klawock Oceanside Cannery 3 Mr. Chet Ross visited the office and related some problem to me regarding the proposed generation plant hookup and electrical distribution system for the City of Klawock. I would have support the comments made by Mr. Ross. One of the things that should be considered in order for the City of Klawock to have a good elect- rical system is to evaluate existing power plant at Klawock. At present there is, in the existing power plant a 250 Kilowatt catapillar, a 100 Kil0- watt International and a 75 Kilowatt catapillar. It is proposed that a 500 KW generator from Amchitka be installed along side of these plants which are now in a brand new power plant which was constructed by the Oceanside Packing Company at Klawock. One prime matter to consider is the existing generation plants are of the 440 KVA output, the proposed 500 KW plant are a 2300 KVA output plant. We will need stepdown transformers fram 2300 to 400 and step- up transformers from 440 KVA to 2300 KVA in order to have a comprehensive syncrynize generation plant at the City of Klawock. It was estimated that each of these transformters cost in the area of 3 thousand to 36 hundred dollars. Also, a sturdy iron rack must be constructed outside of the existing power house in order to have these transfomers mounted and tied into the generating plant. Also, in the cannery area, there will be a need for three poles in order to get outside of the cannery area and Mr. Ross was informed that this office would provide those power poles along with the cross arms, the guidelines and the wire outside the cannery property. After discussing the matter with Mr. Ross, I proposed that a meeting be scheduled for September 20 & 21 at Juneau and invitations sent to the Area Plant Management, the Denver Technical Center, BIA, Mr. Charlie Guinn, Senior Inspector for the Housing Authority and myself, Gerald Gray to participate in the meeting to get ourselves coordinated to develop a comprehensive approach to establishing the electrical distributions system at Klawock. It is my opinion at this time, that above mentioned concerns are indeed a con- cern if we are looking towards developing a good electrical distribution systen for the City of Klawock and it my intention to continue to do this, however, the inmediate problem is to establish and adequate distribution system to be run off at the existing power plants system and this would be sufficient to carry the additional housing units in the new subdivision, however, in order to do this, it would be necessary to install two to three transformers also with re- wirng the entire community due to accessive voltage loss in the old and out- dated electrical distribution system now in existance at Klawock. bea ae, f = i! a _ . i ae pao hewe ope tiene? fe neice o October 31, 1973 The Honorable William Woods, Sr. City Council Mayor Klawock, Alaska Dear Sir: We are pleased to inform you that your application to the Division of Rural Development Assistance for a grant from this office has been approved. It will be funded in the amount of $20,000 for community electrification. We are requesting a check from the Department of Administration and are ordering your checkbook. When the check arrives, we will deposit it into your Rural Development project account. This process should take about two weeks, In the meantime, we are sending you bank signature cards to be com- pleted and returned. The signature cards should be signed by those persons who will normally be available to sign checks and who will be designated by the council as the work committee to oversee the completion of the project. Two of these three persons must sign checks everytime one is drafted to pay a project bill or wages. We ™yeconmend that your community treasurer or city clerk be one of the } & members of the work committee since he or she will probably draft ie the checks, ‘ The Rural Nevelopment Grant Program is 100% State funded by an annual KY appropriation of the Alaska State Legislature. Since 1959, grant funds have been utilized to eliminate or alleviate the many community % development needs that exist throughout rural Alaska. In the past, * our only criteria in granting State funds was for the community to identify the need and prove it existed. If the need was verified by the Division staff and met statute requirements, the money was granted. During the past year, we have evaluated our grant procedures and have decided to add program performance to our evaluating criteria for future grants. Program performance means the community will comply with the provisions in our Rural Development Grant agreement. Kach community signs this agreement when applying for an RDA grant. The Rural Development Division Staff will monitor each grant carefully during the fiscal year. Monitoring will consist of periodic field visits, checking weekly worksheets, checks and progress in completing your project. When the project is completed, your program performance will be recorded in your grant history. Program performance will then be reviewed with your request when your next Rural Development grant application is received in this Office, Therefore, please review your agreement carefully. ‘ look forward to working with a é ine community during this fiscal rear oud Leder sd a fine Rural.

Famous for "good living," the principal occupations are salmon and crab fishing. ORGANIZATION The Hoonah Community Action Committee was formed in June of 1965, replacing the former Hoonah Area Development Committee. It is a non-profit incorporation within the State of Alaska, made up of ten members representing city officials, school officials, churches, local organizations and citizens at large. At least one third of the committee being representatives of or people of the lower income bracket. Some of the functions of the committee is to make application for Economic Opportunity programs, assist both the people and FHA with loan applications, participate with the planning of the economic development of the village plus any other activity that may be beneficial to the village.

THE REDEVELOPMENT ARFA AND ITS ECONOMY LOCATION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HOONAH: The village of Hoonah is located on the Northeast portion of Chichagof Island. It is located within Port Frederick and directly adjacent to Icy Straits. Across the Straits lies the Glacier Bay monument and Excursion Inlet. It is forty air miles from Hoonah to Juneau, Alaska's capital, and approximately seventy-five miles by sea. Topographic and climatic conditions at Hoonah are rather typical of Southeastern Alaska. Summers are fairly cool and the winters are mild. Rainfall is probably about seventy-five inches annually, but there is no weather station at the village. The topography of the area is rugged with mountains 3,000 feet high. These are covered with the spruce and hemlock forests for which Southeast Alaska is well known. POPULATION: Hoonah boasts of being the largest of the Tlingit villages. It has a population of an estimated 900 persons of whom over 90% are of Tlingit origin. There are approximately 200 families and 173 dwellings. The bulk of the work experience in Hoonah among both men and women lies in the fishing industry. In fact, they have been earned the reputation of being as a group, the most capable purse seine fishermen in Southeast Alaska. There is virtually no unemployment in the summer months, but the problem lies in being able to utilize this skilled labor for a more extended time during the course of the year. Some of the men begin halibut fishing in early May and later fish for salmon into the month of September. Through the remainder of the winter, this work force of two hundred or more men is unemployed except for occasional State work projects and other rare instances for part-time work. Many of the women are employed for about two months at the salmon cannery at Excursion Inlet. Close to thirty or more are employed at the local dungeness crab processing plant located in Hoonah, and operating from about May to October each year by Hoonah Sea Foods. About three women and three men are employed by Thompson's Cold Storage plant here during the peak season. NATURAL RESOURCES: As indicated, most of the people in Hoonah are fishermen and it is this resource that is most in evidence. A percentage of the salmon entering Southeastern Alaska waters _ pass through Cross Sound, and Icy Straits, near Hoonah. Halibut fishing is also important to Hoonah, and the dungeness crab processing has also been mentioned. It is believed that the general area has considerable potential for bottom fishing, but additional studies on this are needed to substantiate the supply in such nearby waters as Cross Sound, Icy Straits, Lynn Canal, Chatham Straits, and the outside waters past Cape Spencer. Processing of additional varieties of shellfish is another industry which is believed to have considerable development potential. Hoonah has a local trolling fleet of about 20 boats and is the port for an additional 50 trollers from other parts of Alaska and Puget Sound. Nearly all of Chichagof Island is included in the Tongass National Forest. There is one small logging operation in the vicinity of Hoonah. Development of roads are necessary to expand the potential for this industry. Resources relating to tourism are, perhaps next to fishing, of greatest importance. Glacier Bay National Monument, with its unusual and tremendous attractions lies just across Icy Straits and other nearby areas are of almost equal scenic importance. At present, no impact of tourist trade from Glacier Bay is felt in Hoonah. For the sportsmen, there are fourteen major salmon and trout streams in Port Frederick alone. There is also hunting in the area for waterfowl, deer, black and brown bear, and mountain goat. Additional potential tourist attractions include the arts and crafts of the Native people, as well as such things as digging for clams, berry picking, and the like. There are two licensed guides located in Hoonah, with cabins, boats available for rent. Many local men trap each year for otter, marten and mink, weasels which are sold to out-of-state buyers. Hoonah is an ideal location for fish farming or aquaculture program both naturally and that the people are natural fisherman. BUSINESS: The commercial businesses in Hoonah include three general merchandise stores that handle groceries, clothing, hardware, drugs, and fishing supplies; two fuel oil dealers; a coffee shop open on a part-time basis; a transfer and garbage disposal company, a community owned liquor store, a bar, Southeast Skyways Airlines Office; an electronics repair; heavy equipment contract services, and small sawmill operation. The local stores serve as agents for ACS, Department of Fish and Game, Island Transportation, Southeastern Telephone Company, and Hoonah Cable T.V. There is a small truck farm located in Neka Bay, most of its products are sold on the local Hoonah market. Also located in Neka Bay is the Thunderbird Hunting Lodge. Hoonah Liquor Inc. (a non-profit corporation): The majority of the voters in Hoonah, Alaska as of January 20, 1964 authorized the sale of intoxicating liquors in or near the City of Hoonah as a non-profit corporation. The proceeds in excess of business expenses and not required for capital expendi- tures will be used for city schools and other community projects. Hoonah Liquor, Inc. opened for its first day of business on December 15, 1964. It has from the time of opening paid $200 per month to aid law enforcement for the town. INDUSTRY: The industry in Hoonah is totally seasonal; they include the crab processing cannery operating from May to October, and employs about 30 women and 10 men; the cold storage plant which buys troll fish and employs 2 men for six months and about 3 women in the peak season of July and August. The Wild Berry Co-op which employs one full-time year round manager and three part-time employees plus the self- employed berry pickers. Also there is a salmon cannery which the Hoonah seine fleet delivers to is located 20 miles across the bay at Excursion Inlet. About twenty Hoonah women work in the cannery there for about three months each year. CITY OF HOONAH: Hoonah was incorporated as a first class city in 1946, with a mayor-council type of government. At present operating under a 2% sales tax, light and water collection; income from property taxes are limited because of trust status of much of the property within the city. Pie The City of Hoonah has for its power source two (2) Sterling Diesels; capacity is 500 Kilowatts. These plants were purchased by and is now the sole property of the City of Hoonah. The plants were installed with the help of the BIA and the State Rural Development Agency. The plants are operating on the line. There is a great need for re-distribution of the consumer lines in the old section of town. The U.S. Public Health in cooperation with the city of Hoonah has completed the water project: “The water reserve for the city is approximately one million six hundred thousand gallons. This water project was constructed to meet domestic -5- ‘) needs only. The BIA has constructed an access road for the low cost housing project completed and connecting road between the housing project and site road opening up city lots for the 35 additional houses built in 1974. BIA is presently constructing } mile of road behind the town to open up more residential lots, and doing 2 miles of construction between the city and the old cannery. x The most urgent need for the community of Hoonah is cold storage facilities. On an average season, approximately 250 boats a week make Hoonah their home port during the entire salmon season. Hoonah has now two private docks and a city float. The city float has a capacity adequate for only twenty large purse seiners. Originally, the float was built in 1956 to accommodate about ten pleasure boats. The City of Hoonah has constructed small boat stalls to accommodate thirty-four boats (skiff- outboard types). There is a need for forty more. The city dock and warehouse facility, funded by EDA is under construction and will be completed the summer of 1974. The City of Hoonah now employs a utility man, city clerk, two full-time maintenance men, also two policemen. Hoonah has an active volunteer fire department. It has a fire jeep and a large fire truck adequately equipped with all emergency equipment, but a fire hall is badly needed to house these trucks. There are hydrants scattered throughout the town. Transportation to and from Hoonah is almost entirely done by amphibious type air- craft. There is a mailboat that stops every week to unload freight and mail, and some passengers. There is an airfield to handle land planes. There is a ferry terminal also, with service three times a week. There is a chartered freight boat once a month out of Seattle, that brings in the bulk of supplies for the community. The proposed Hoonah Boat Harbor has been under study by the Army Corps of Engineers and has not been approved by them as yet. This harbor would be capable of handling over 200 boats on completion. If Congress appropriates the money this session, construction should start the spring of 1975. There is a White Alice Station close by here that is connected to the town by 7 miles of road. This station and its employees receive all their supplies at Hoonah. Most of the employees and their families live in the village. This facility is scheduled to close in 1975, when satellite service is available. HOONAH INDIAN ASSOCIATION: The Hoonah Indian Association was organized in Hoonah for the Tligit Indians and the Eskimos residing in the neighborhood of Hoonah on October 23, 1939. Its purpose was to further the development of the Indians and the Eskimos. Eighty new units were built by the Federal Government in 1946 because of the great fire which nearly wiped out all of Hoonah on June 14, 1944. After all eighty units were completed, the Federal Government turned them over to the Hoonah Indian Association and loaned monies to individuals who lost their homes during the fire to purchase new ones. Monies are still being turned over to the Secretary-Treasurer for payment on these eighty units. HOUSING: Recently Hoonah's population has grown rapidly and severe housing shortage has developed. Gradually, however, new building lots are being made available and a few homes are being constructed away from the center of town. At present, fifteen new houses have been built on a BIA self-help project, and by the Tlingit & Haida Regional Housing Authority. At present, there is a six-unit apartment building. For future development, the city owns 200 acres of undeveloped land. HOONAH SCHOOL SYSTEM: The City of Hoonah operates a City School District for children which includes a program from Headstart through the twelfth grade, with an enrollment of nearly 300 students. Our school buildings included a modern nine-classroom elementary building, with almost 200 students. A new modern high school building including Home Economics, Science, Gym, Library, Music Room, and a new Administrative unit. A new building to house the Administrative offices, Special Education Classes, Parent Conference rooms, and Program Assistant Offices has been completed. In addition to this, we have an older building that is used for regular classes. The School District plans on building a Multi-Media Center for both elementary and secondary students to include library facilities, audio-visual room, study areas, and nurse's office with a covered play area for elementary students. The school is also working with the city to acquire funds for a swimming pool. With a large.area set aside for schools, we have the needed space for outdoor activities and expansion. The summer of '74, an auto and marine mechanics shop will be constructed. The school has a staff of twenty-four teachers, including a superintendent, a ‘ secondary and elementary principal, a full-time secretary, two full-time bookkeepers, four janitorial maintenance men, eight teacher aides, librarian, librarian aide; driver's education instructor, parent coordinator, cook, assistant cook, and a psychological services person. We operate a hot-lunch program for all students from Headstart through high school and a hot breakfast program. The school added a full music program in 1967. Also added to.the curriculum at the high school is a course in carpentry, mechanics, Tlingit Heritage, Art department, and Vocational Office Education. Adult Education both Vocational and GED (Basic) are now taught evenings funded by -T- the District and well received by the community. This year college courses are offered free to all Teacher-Aides and at a nominal fee to anyone else in the community through Sheldon Jackson College by the District funded by OEO, Follow-Through. The main projects for the school in the near future is accreditation by the Northwest Association. Hoonah has the only Follow-Through Program in Alaska funded by OEO for about $80,000 per year for grades Kindergarten through 6. It is ungraded, multi-age grouping totally individualized teaching. There are seven active churches in the community. These are: Salvation Army, United Pentecostal, United Presbyterian, Ba'hai, Russian Orthodox, Catholic, and Assembly of God. Combined membership of the seven churches is approximately 450. ALASKA NATIVE BROTHERHOOD AND SISTERHOOD: Both Alaska Native Brotherhood and Sisterhood have active camps in Hoonah which sponsor a variety of social activities during the course of the year. The purpose is for the betterment of the Native people, to preserve the Native culture, promote education, and to work toward equality for the people. The ANB and ANS own a large hall which contains a basketball court and dining room facilities. Also next to the hall is the ANS theater which runs daily movies. The profits are used for various community projects. HOONAH LIONS CLUB: The Hoonah Lions Club was organized in the spring of 1966 as a service club for the betterment of the City of Hoonah. Since their organization, they have actively promoted a city-wide clean up of the town which included the beaches, roads and yards. A major project has been a push to paint the town which for the most part had not been painted since it had been rebuilt after the fire. Over fifty of these houses are now painted and the paint is here to finish the job. HEALTH AND WELFARE: s mc Hoonah is served by an itinerant public health nurse stationed in the village on : approximately a half-time basis. Major medical and dental care is available in Juneau, about twenty minutes flight time away, or Mt. Edgecumbe in Sitka 45 minutes by air. The health clinic is only a few years old. Itis felt that considering Hoonah's population and lack of a resident physician, it would be desirable to have a health nurse stationed in Hoonah on a full-time basis. The PHS hold field clinics here about 4 times per year; both medical and dental. There are 3 aides here serving the interim emergency needs to the Native people. The BIA and the Alaska Division of Public Welfare provide social welfare services in Hoonah. The Division of Public Welfare and the Bureau of Indian Affairs Social Worker visits about every month. TLINGIT-HAIDA INDIANS: The local Tlingit-Haida Indian Association is organized with a council and will be hiring a local person as a part-time community planner to help develop EDA projects for Hoonah. The local T-H Community Council is in the process of developing other plans and projects and readying itself post land claims development and responsibilities, one of its top priorities being a museum. HUNA TOTEM CORPORATION: The village corporation established under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act has organized and has an interim board of directors. It will be holding its first annual meeting the fall of 1974. It is in the process of land identification and selection. COMMUNICATIONS: Hoonah has a modern telephone system and receives radio station from Juneau. Also, we receive Juneau television station by antenna on top of the mountain and cabled into town. ECONOMIC CONDITIONS: The following statistics of the economic conditions of Hoonah have been compiled by actual physical house count in 1965 and also taken from the Department of Labor Statistics. In 1971 which was an average fishing season, the average income per family living in Hoonah was $3,000. - In 1970, 7% of the 428 children in Hoonah were receiving Aid to Dependent Children. Since that time, this figure has increased. Fifty-two people over 65 received some type of welfare benefits and social security payments. Thirty-five families were a receiving BIA welfare assistance the winter of 1971-1972. The total seine fishing time in normal season will run twenty to twenty-five days. In 1971, there was a total of eighteen fishing days, this shorter fishing season has had a drastic impact on the community of Hoonah. The available work force in Hoonah can be broken down as follows: 204 - male labor force with 85% unemployed; 152 - female labor: force with 50% unemployed. At present there are 173 housing units in Hoonah of which 78 were substandard in 1965. That is to say they lacked water and sewer. Since this time the water project has made available water and sewer to most of these units, but they are far from standard housing and for the most part come closer to shacks in appearance. In 1965, 704 people were of the Indian race and 130 were of the Caucasian race. Physical count at this time was 5.31 people per house. The educational level of the population of those twenty-five years and older placed 30% with less than an eighth grade education. Due to the schools offering Adult Basic Education classes this percentage has been lowered to 27%. Due to this and other related statistics, Hoonah has been classified an economically depressed area and is in desperate need of a well-developed plan to combat the poverty of its people. -10- AREA GOALS AND PRIORITY RATING In order to provide diversified industry and greater opportunities for employment and extend the work season past the very short salmon season, we have established the following priority needs as the goals of the Hoonah OEDP Committee. 1. Further Development of the Sea Food Industry: A. Foremost is the need for enlarged cold storage plant facilities to handle any new fishing growth. The present plant is taxed to capacity during the peak season and must at times turn business away. Exploration into the bottom fishing industry so that the fishing fleet that is laid up during the winter could work for a longer period of time. Exploration into the potential of a fish reduction plant in the Hoonah area to use the tremendous amounts of fish that are presently cast aside as scrap fish. In order to get great utilization of the present crab cannery, there is need to explore the potential of developing shrimp and shellfish. The demand for fish eggs has increased to such an extent that methods of handling these must be explored; fishermen must be educated to the availa- bility of this potential source of income. In conjunction with the berry plant, serious consideration should be given to the development and harvesting of seaweed, kelp, sea urchins and other sea foods available and not being utilized. In order to open these new fields, serious study must be undertaken to develop and explore markets for the products. Support Services for New and Expanding Industry: A. Development of our electrical power which is rating at present at 1,000 kilowatts. This is just adequate for our present needs and can handle the future development that would require large amounts of electricity . Boat harbor development requires high priority rating. Lacking adequate harbor facilities, the insurance companies are now insisting that the larger == seine boats must be stored in Seattle; this change would require the building of a breakwater as a protection against fall and winter storms. Small boats receive considerable damage each year during storms due to no protection available at the existing docks in Hoonah. Water Supply: Although the present water system is new, it was only developed to provide water supply for domestic use; therefore, water source and supply must be developed to handle the demands for new industry such as expansion of the cold storage or Seafood Processing Plants. Marine Ways: There is a great need for the development of marine highways and shop facilities to handle larger fishing boats. There is a large amount of locally-skilled people in the field of boat repair. 3. Transportation: A. Roads: There is a need to develop roads into better stands of timber which are located in the valleys of Chichagof Island. Without these roads, future timber development will be limited. City streets need to be upgraded and widened to allow for continued growth of cars and industry. This should include paving of the streets and building of sidewalks. At the present time, the Bureau of Indian Affairs has started a project to widen the main street, which has been turned over to the State of Alaska, but no actual work has begun on it. BIA maintains the roads in town now and is constructing some new roads within the town. ; Air Service: Hoonah has a State-owned airport completed April 3, 1970. Runway length is 2550 feet, width 100 feet. It is a gravel strip and employs one full-time person to maintain it. : The State also owns the seaplane float, which is in good condition and main- tained by the State personnel of the airstrip. 4. Tourism: A. Hoonah is the largest Tlingit Indian community which is located in a sports- man's paradise. Located in Hoonah is a large collection of original Tlingit costumes and artifacts which, if stored in a museum or art center, could be a good drawing card. In this art center, wood and silver carvers could be featured along with authentic dances. Development of a totem park could be used as additional interest centers, along with the Wild Berry Processing Plant. The Hoonah Tlingit-Haida Council is working on plans for a museum and office building .- -12- \ B. Motel-Hotel: Hoonah has desperate need for adequate facilities to handle “ tourists and guests so they will be comfortable and wish to return. A local businessman has plans of building a 14-unit motel by 1975. C. Development of guide work with the available boats for sport fishermen will further expand the tourist interest in Hoonah. There are plenty of experienced men who could do this job at present. D. Park Expansion: Need to continue to develop the present picnic grounds and encourage the use of these facilities by the people. 5. ‘Development of Small Business Enterprises Normally Found in Small Communities: A. In conjunction with the above facilities, there must be provided within Hoonah a complete restaurant to feed and accommodate the needs of the people. | B. Other additional needs are bakery, washeteria, dry-cleaning, barber shop, beauty salon, clothing store, and shoe store. Some of these businesses could be combined at present but the need is there. C. Banking Facilities: With the people there is a desperate need to learn to 3 handle finances in a business-like manner. A bank or branch bank located > in Hoonah would allow the people to have local banking service. B.M. Behrends Bank of Juneau has an application in to open a branch bank in Hoonah in 1975. D. Small Motor Repair Shop: Desperately needed is a service shop that can repair and work on all types of motors from outboards to washing machines. Also included in this shop should be automobile service station facilities. 6. Housing: Development of additional housing to accommodate an increase in people in Hoonah becomes a must. With the present housing project, we are only going to help alleviate the present overcrowded situation. This will not eliminate many of the substandard houses at present. Also, the city's two hundred acres must be surveyed and sub-divided to allow for future housing, for those people who do not qualify for low-income housing. Mic Berry Product Plant: The Hoonah Wild Products, Inc., received funding and had its plant in operation for the berry season of 1971. The plant employs about two people within the plant and twenty-five in the woods daily during the berry season. The co-op has planned on expanding the operation of the plant just as soon as it can handle other native foods to our area such as A 13 10. seaweed, salmon eggs, kelp, and smoked fish. The co-op is under-funded and to date has not been able to get off the ground. Fire Protection Facilities: A. Presently, there is a volunteer fire department which is adequately equipped except for a fire hall to house the new pump truck they purchased the summer of 1971 and an alarm system. B. A large capacity salt water pump is needed to supplement the often inadequate supply during freezing weather and dry periods. This would be installed dock facilities and hooked into mains in case of emergencies. C. A fire hall or building should be constructed to house the fire-fighting apparatus. D. An alarm system complete with alarm switches to adequately cover the areas of the town is extremely desirable to facilitate rapid location of fire. Social Service Development: A. Parent-Child Center: The committee is also funded as the delegate agency for a Parent-Child Center through RurALCAP. A few of the things available in the center are washers, dryers, sewing machines, kitchen facilities, community meeting room, with a library meeting room. The children's portion of the Center employs about 10 people full-time and the other part will employ about 4 to work with a director for the Center, teaching adult classes such as Drivers Ed., Carving, and Tlingit Language and Culture. Also, 2 NYC people are employed there. : B. Children's Playground: At present, there is a playground operated by the PCC located on church grounds across the street though not adequate is a great improvement but a larger playground is needed. The PCC is housed in a new Community Building that was funded jointly by the Hoonah Liquor Board, RurALCAP (Operation Mainstream), and’ Community Action Committee; at a cost of about $45,000. Medical Facilities: Due to the increased population, the present medical facilities are not adequate. We desperately need a full-time nurse and doctor in Hoonah to help upgrade the health of the people. Also, there is a need for a full-time dentist. Facilities for visiting doctors and dentists are needéd. At present, they set their office up in the school or church basement. -14- 11. Development of Timber Resources: 12. A. Develop a logging base in the Hoonah area in excess of the two-man logging operation. Encourage the development of a cant mill in the Burnt Point area to prepare logs for export to Japan or domestic outlets. Enlarge the mill operation to cutting green lumber for the local demands. Expand operation to kiln dry and air-dry lumber for the local area demands. Further expansion to a plywood or veneer-type operation. Exploration and development of the markets for the products developed.. The city is presently working on a proposed Cold Storage and dock facility with EDA's Indian Desk. There are several large cannery operators interested in managing such a facility and also putting a cannery in con- junction with such a facility. This is our top priority because it would have a tremendous economic effect on our community. -15- ry. To FROM : * UNITED STATES G ERNMENT Memoranduin oe = cy Area Plant Management Officer DATE: March 10, 1970 Electrical Engineer " SUBJECT: Hoonah Village Power System : 403.5 -—- oe f Ay OAR A aT a ch foe“ /: fet cep paw | A. EXISTING SYSTEM: The existing system was instaJled in 1945 and except for additions and minimal operational maintenance nothing has been done to up-date or improve the system. Native yellow cedar poles are being used with #8 copper wire for most spans. The poles have cross-arm construction for three wire 2400 volt primary. Most are in rock-free ground and are solid up to ground level. Shell- rot is evident from the ground up. ' The distribution is 2400 volts, WYE, and about 150 homes, the cannery, three stores, the hotel and restaurant, the school, etc. “are serviced by 120/240 volt secondaries direct from pole- mounted transformers. Except for the extreme end of town, there are very few secondary distribution lines and each transformer is the center of a "Christmas tree" of three wire services.. The transformer schedule is as listed below: 1. 10 KW, 4 each 2. 15 KW, 5 each , 3. 25 KW, 2 each (relatively new) . 4. 45 KW, 2 each, serving the school 3 each, providing 39 power to the Coastal 55° 25 3, : Glacier cannery. Present generation system consists of the following three Caterpillar electric sets complete with free-standing panels: 1. Model D353 (series E) 240 KW, 1200 RPM 2. Model D353 (series D) 200 KW, 250 KVA, 1200 RPM 3. Model D333, 100 KW, 125 KVA, 1800 RPM These units develop 2400 volt, 60 cycle, 3 wire, 3 phase, A.C. power. Review of the meter reading log records indicate that total KW hours for 1965 was 490,300, for 1967 was 833,200, for 1968 was 996,500, and for 1569 was 1,228,700. 1 2. The existing system has deteriorated to the point where extensive repair and/or replacement is indicated. Additionally, the system is overloaded to the point where an acceptable voltage level cannot be maintained and excessive system losses are being incurred. The secondary distribution lines at the east =~ end of town are much too long which results in abnormally low | voltages at the extremities. Service drops are in many instances, too long also. The wire sizes (installed 25 years ago) are uniformally too small to carry modern demands, even if transformer capacity was larger. The transformers have corroded and show evidence of overheating and oil leakage. The oil in the transformers has never beru rerlaced or checked. The poles are gencrally too small to re-use (except for the secondary yard poles), and in a number of instances trees are being used. The village of Hoonah has obtained two (2) each 500 Ki Marathon ' Blectric A.C. Generator sets. These units are Sterling's Model VDS~-8S and develop 4160/2400 volts, 60 cycle, 3 phase power. - They can be hooked up either 4160/2400 volts 4-wire WYE or . * 2400 volts DeLee’. They are complete with two free standing panels. These units are government surplus, have approximately 200 hours on them, and have been sitting in Utah since 1954. They were brought to Hoonah last year and are now sitting ina 30'X 40'x-12' high metal generator building at the extreme east end of the community (approximately 1700 ft. from the existing generator building) near the Department of Roads Building. They sat out in the weather all last winter and summer and consequently, are rusty, somewhat corroded, etc. They seem however, to basically be O.K. and (probably) all that would be - mecessary to bring them up to operational stand-point would be time and considerable effort. B. PROJECTED ELECTRICAL LOAD: Existing City load (winter) 250 KW 15 new homes @ 4 KW ea. (housing project) 60 KW Future consumption growth for east end of village with improved distribution 50 KW Future consumption growth for central and west end of village with improved distribution 50 KW - Future 105 new homes @ 4 KW each (possible housing project) 420 KW Community building (under construction) 10 kW BIA Dept. of Roads Shop (existing) 15 KW Ferry landing (lighting), (under construction) 5 KW s ie ‘Existing Chlorination Uouse 1 KW .- : : Future berry packing plant 50 KW a Future boat harbor (200 boats) 25 KW Future Forest Service Park (300 yards from ferry) 5 KW Extra load during summer when crab cannery is in operation 75 KW Future mobile Cold Storage dock plus Thompson's Freezer expansion 200 KW Total Maximum Projected Load with 105 proposed new houses 1220 Kv Total Maximum without 105 proposed new houses 800 KW C. RECOMMENDATIONS TO CORRECT DEFECTS AND TMPROVE SYSTEM: 1. It would be desireable to operate the two new 500 KW ot generators in parallel for prime power and to keep the : existing 250 KW unit for peaking and stand-by purposes. : Since the old generator building is too small to accommodate the new plants and switch gear in addition to the existing, and since the new sheet metal building is too small to ‘accommodate the old generators in addition to the new, there are a number of alternate schemes to be considered: a. Leave the two generation sites and equipment in their existing locations and run a high voltage line th . from the new generator building to the old. The . switch gear and_synchronizing apparatus would be located in the* uilding. The basic distribution Si,en8 %% system (with the center at the old site) could remain the same as the existing. ie . b. Save as above, but locate switch gear and synchronizing apparatus in the new generator building. . Either a new distribution system with the center at the new generator building would be necessary, or, another high voltage line to feed back to the old- building would have to be added. c. Split the community in two, letting the existing generators provide power to the west end of town and the new 500 K's to the cast. d. Move the new generator building to the area directly in back of the existing generator building. If the buildings were not physically joined, a wireway or trench could provide for the necessary electrical connections. This set-up would alleviate the a . inconvenience of having to maintain and operate two e Fk ee Meret ee eee re ae 4. « widely separated generation sites. Also, the single site would be centralized which would simplify the distribution systan. _@. Consider the new site as permanent and plan to ~* * * yelocate the old plants in a future building adjoining the existing new powerhouse. Design the overall new system with feed from the new site. . 2. All high voltage (primary) poles should be replaced by new 30' poles. As mentioned above, the existing are 25 years old with shellsrot surfaces and are a dangerous ss climbing hazard for working with high voltage. 3. The cross-arms on the above mentioned poles show signs of rot and moss and should also. be replaced. 4. The down guys on the above poles lave loosened, perhaps from rotting of the deadmen. These nzed setting or replacing when new poles are installed. .5. All primary wire should be replaced. a. It is #8 AWG and is too small for the increasing load of the system. I recommend #4 AWG for all primary runs. b. The wire is to be suspected of wear at dead-ends : and supports due to wind movement and sag (or stretch) e548 over 25 years. It could break at these points and drop 2400 volt lines into the street. 6. The main service from the generator building to the - “highsline should be high voltage cable in 2" conduit up the pole. : : 7. Approximately 20 new 15 and/or 25 iJ transformers are needed to replace and supplement the existing. The oil should be checked in the remainder. ‘Tiree 50 KW transformers are needed to provide 3 phase power to the cannery complex and one 50 KW is needed at the school. The electrical load has increased to where the design 25 years ago is no longer adequate for present day home applicamces, ete. The existing transformers could possibly ba re-used in an. over-all re-design and expansion of thi system. 8. Primary taps to transformers should have proper disconnects or hot taps (screw type). ne 5s 9. Service drops to homes currently consist of three #8 AWG wires. In many instances the wires are bare and insulation is hanging loose. They are uniformally under- size and should all be replaced with #4 Triplex with two insulated aluminum cables wound around a bare aluminum conductor with a steel core. This is self-supporting and - is standard now on all house services. 10. Secondary voltage lines should be installed to reduce the lengths of house drops, improve gencral appearances, and reduce potential climbing hazards. At present there are very few secondary lines and each transformer is the center of a “Christmas tree" of 3-wire services to all the homes in the immediate vicinity with wire sagged from racks on each side of the transformer. I recommend #4 Triplex cable to be used as secondary lines back along the high line poles and to spread out the drops to individual homes. 11. Home service entrances should be replaced with a weatherhead, conduit, and a combination meter and circuit breaker. Since the existing services do not have a main breaker on cach house, but only individual circuit fuses, this would up-grade the service entrances to standard - code and safety regulations. 12. New street lighting should be installed throughout the system using pole-mounted, mercury-vapor lights. These would give the greatest illumination with the least kilowatt-hour consumption. Present lighting is inadequate and very limited in scope. : D. _ SUMMARY. . : In short it is recommended that the electrical distribution system at Hoonah be completely renewed rather than having the existing system revised and extended. In 1966 Juneau Area Electrician, Ernest Schmitt, and Littleton, Colorado Field Technical Office Electrical Engineer, L.R. Peterson visited Hoonah for the purpose of evaluating the clectrical distribution system west of the powerhouse. A complete set of plans, material lists, a complete cost estimate and engineering analysis for the town west of the powerhouse to the west city limits prepared by the Littleton Office was the end result of the inspection. It is my recommendation that these plans be modified (if required) to meet existing power requirements, the estimates revised to meet 1970 prices and labor costs and to include any modifications ’ . / ‘ ' Ge “necessary and these plans (referred to as "Part 1 of the Electrical Distribution Rehabilitation Plan for Hoonah, Alaska") be adopted. A similar plan (part II) which would take care of the rehabilitation of the distribution system east of the powerhouse should be the next step, and a part III, which would deal with the inclusion of the two new 500 KW generators into the existing system, would finalize the pianning. : eee Sn : a Charles Guinn, Jr. i Juncau AVea Office PG.

ON ) \ > As the new Superintendent for Southeast Alaska, you will be interested in a brief status report to familiarize your office with projects we are involved with in your area. Following each community listed below is a description of the project and our accomplishments. : - Electrical Distribution & Generation Rehabilitation On February 17, 1970, Don Anderson and Charles Guinn Jr., went to Hoonah at the request of Mayor Frank See through the Southeast Superintendent. Their purpose was to examine the City's existing electrical distribution system, the new powerhouse and new diesel electric sets, the new mutual help housing project needing power, and to consult with the Mayor about Plant Management providing engineering services to the City. ™~ They found Noonah in direneed of (1) a completely new electrical distribution system, (2) improved generation facilities, and (3) immediate service to the 15 new homes which were (then) nearly completed. Since that time Plant Management has, with the help of Tom See and Dave Pearson from Mt. Edgecumbe, provided material and manpower and (1) completed an extension of the existing power lines and tied in the 15 new homes and (2) replaced transformers, insulators, tightened connections, and generally provided interim improvements (prior to an eventual new system) to minimize the overload situation and other dangerous conditions. We also requested PMEC's assistance and they undertook the task of designing (1) a completely new city-wide distribution system and (2) a new powerhouse installation. The latter design incorporated two 500 KW Sterling electric sets (previously acquired by Hoonah from surplus sources through Senator Gruening) and an addition to the powerhouse building. PMEC also provided itemized material lists and cost estimates to supplement the 27 sheets of design plans. The finished package reached our office, and subsequently the City of Hoonah, on February 4, 1971. The total. cost for the project, including Material, labor, contingency and a location factor, was estimated at $432,113.00. NX This ended Plant Management's commitment to the City of loonah. B. Hoonah's problem now is money; according to Mayor Frank See, the city is not financially able to buy the necded material or to hire a private contractor. Mayor Sce has been soliciting both Federal and State agencics for assistance--either by way or an out-and-out grant or a long-term loan. To my knowledge, he has not been successful. KAKE - Electrical Distribution & Generation Rehabilitation The City of Kake proposed to make application to a private agency for a loan to completely modernize and expand its distribution system and generation facilities. They did not (do not) have funds to pay a private engineering fimn to prepare apeliminary design, and, again through the Southeast Superintendent, we were requested to assist. PMEC has undertaken the new design, and in March, 1971, Mr. Lowell Peterson of PMEC and Charles Guinn Jr., of Juneau Plant Management traveled to Kake to examine the City's existing distribution system and _ generation facilities, to determine the present and future power requirements and to gather other data pertinent to designing a modern, city-wide electrical system. When completed, the plans, along with detailed material lists and cost estimates, will be brought to our office and to the City of Kake for review. Tentatively, this will occur in mid-September, 1971. On February 11, 1971, Kake requested the use of two 100 KW diesel electric sets available from our Plant Management Area Service Center in Anchorage. These units were to provide prime power to their City until the new system is realized. Kake agreed to pay the freight on the units, but requested a mechanic to help with the installation, start-up and operator training. They also requested an electrician to properly hook-up the units to the local distribution system and to check them out for proper metering and ability to synchronize with the City's plant and each other. Plant Management spent over $2000.00 moving the 2 units to our shop in Anchorage. They were inspected, tested under load, generally overhauled, painted, and shipped to Kake in early March. Subsequently, Ernie Schmitt and Walt Noden, our Area Electrician and mechanic, respectively, went to Kake and spent two weeks installing and checking out the units. Mr. Schmitt also spent some time balancing the city load; currently either unit will singly handle Kake's existing power requirements. Later in March, our office received a call from Mayor Carlson requesting a mechanic to repair a damaged starting engine and an electrician to adjust a hydraulic governor on one of the new 100 KW generators. We complied, and the problems were resived within a week. In April Charles Guinn Jr. again went to Kake at the Mayor's request. This time he was to assist in.designing a system which would incorporate into the cannery's low-voltage electrical generation facilities a new stand-by, 150 KW, 2400 Volt genexatior. He came up with a workable, low-cost plan (which was what the Cannery wanted), and sent the completed design to Kake a few days after his return to Juneau. Subsequent conversation with Mayor Carlson discbsed that the design had been implemented and is working fine. KLAVOCK - Survey of Electrical System At the request of Mr. Frank Peratrovich, President of the Klawock Cooperative Association, through the Southeast Superintenicnt, Charles Guinn Jr. of Juneau Plant Management visited Klawock on May 19, 1970. ‘ His purpose was twofold: first, to survey the existing electrical system and make recommendations for improvements, and second, to check into the feasibility of the city establishing its own power system. Currently, the Oceanside Packing Co. (owned by The Klawock Cooperative Association) furnishes power to city users; both the city and the cannery are interested in having the City own, operate and maintain its own utility system, Without going into great detail, Mr. Guinn found that a completely new distribution system is needed. Reasons are as follows: The existing clectrical system was installed about 30 years ago, and except for additons and minimal operational maintenance noth inghas been done to up-date the system. Shell-rot is evident on the poles and crossarms, downguys have loosened (possibly from the rotting of the deadmen), almost all primary and secondary wire is too small for even the existing loads, much of its insullation is weathered and frayed, transformers have cOrroded and show signs of overheating and leakage, service drops are undersized and deliver only 110 volts to the residences, and service entrances consist simply of two wires run through a hole in a wall to a panel containing only individual circuit fuses. In short, the system has slowly deteriorated to a potentially dangerous level. According to Mr. Lars Nerland, cannery manager at Klawock, if a new village electrical syston is realized, the cannery would be willing vo buy power from the village. They would, however, (and Mr. Nerland was quite emphatic about this), keep their existing facilities (including generation cquipment, fuel storage tanks, etc.) intact for stand-by purposes. This means that, if the City of Klawock goes into the power business, they must: s : D. 1. Install a completely new distribution system, 2. Obtain their own generators, complete with control panels, switchgear, and other related equipment. 3. Build a powerhouse for the generation equipment. Possibly one of the deserted buildings might serve this purpose. ‘4. Obtain bulk oil storage tanks. 5. Hire a full-time trained operator to be in charge of plant operation. Perhaps he could also maintain the distribution system, read kilowatt-hour meters, keep records, etc.. Details including distribution’ voltages, transformer and pole data, existing yeneration facilities, existing fue). storage, existing and future loads (for both summer and winter-with and without the cannery as a customer), etc., are covered in Charles Guinn's trip report on file in Plant Management's office. Copies were sent to the Southeast Superintendent, the Division of Credit and Finance, and the Division of Tribal Operations. Included was a cover memo by Mr. Don Anderson with suggestions to expedite action. KLUKWAN -"Electrical Power Survey On July 1, 1970, our office was requested to assist Klukwan choose a diesel electric set to provide the village with prime power. Don Mitchell of PMEC (who was in the area) and Charles Guinn Jr. traveled to Klukwan in Early July and spent a day looking over Klukwan's existing system, making power estimates, consulting with local leaders on possible future loads, and drawing a plot plan of the existing distribution system. After returning to Juneau, Charles Guinn submitted a short report to the Southeast Superintendent outlining (1) Klukwan's existing and future power requirements, (2) reasons for buying a low voltage unit, (3) a list of 4 diesel electric sets which would fit Klukwan's needs, and (4) a brief cost comparison between two of the units under consideration. I believe that the Southeast Superintendent sent this information to Klukwan for any action they might want to take.

HOONAH, ALASKA fe Electrical System Rehabilitation Recapitulation of Major Design Decisions February 1, 1971 s GENERATOR BUILDING: 1. Location of new Powerhouse--established previously by Town Council. 2. Use of existing Powerplant--not feasible for the following reasons: bere ‘a. Expensive transformer and equipment would be required to use it with the new system. ($6,000 +) b. Additional maintenance and overhead cost, inconvenience of two locations, plus possible additional operator required. ce. The existing plant would not be usable for very long because of the age and size of the remaining units. Load estimates for Hoonah are as follows: . Cr 1970 1975 . 614 KW, e Conservative 414-614...with Rocky Straights Cannery “ 262 KW Optimistic 950.......With the same 25% a year growth 262 BF established, 1965-1969 3. Choice of System Voltage Level at 4160 Volts: satel a. The 500 KW sets could be used at either 2400 or 4160 volts. sa 4160 was chosen because 2400 volts would not allow any signifi- cant expansion such as service to the Rocky Straights Cannery. For 5% voltage Drop No. 2 ACSR can carry: 1,360,000 KVA feet at 2400 volts; 4,100,000 KVA feet at 4160 volts. At Hoonah, the new generator building is approximately 6,000 feet from the cannery at opposite end of town. Then: 1,360,000/6,000 feet 4,100,000/6,000 feet 227 KVA 700 KVA, since existing load is now peaking at 262 KVA, the 2400 volts would be adequate now -but would require additional parallel ae B, a lines as soon as the load increased. Ss a 1s, 0922 ‘ . Ee LI . - .. se ei see Beet! BL AF BE ei ise 24 ae » ¥ ates 22. ty Mm b. Another advantaye of 4160 volts is that single phase circuits do not require crossarms. This makes a cost reduction of approximately 3-$4,000 on the new system at Hoonah, Alaska. 4. Integration of Existing Generator with New Generators: a.- The 2400 volts, 250 KW generator requires a step-up transformer Seite to match it to the 4160 volts bus. Three possible ways of doing this were considered: + (1) Auto-Transformer - special and costly, (2) -Standard 2400/1460 Y x 7200/12,470 Y Transformer, size becomes excessive because only part of winding is used and at a lower voltage than rated which limits the possible current and requires 3-167 KVA units to handle 167 KVA or 67% of the output of the 250 KW set. (3) Standard Transformers - modified with a 58% tap on primary winding, 3-100 KVA will deliver 120% of the output of the 250 KW set. An additional advantage is use of the secondary to provide 120/240 volts station service power. 5. New Services: rn a. Most of the existing service entrances are not reusable with RR, the new system. There are several reasons for this: Many i - house services are only 120 volts. Practically, all are too \ small capacity. Two meters are installed, one for 120 and one i for 240 volts. This is unnecessary and expensive. b + Many services do not meet minimum code requirements. ie, “Fe inadequate grounding, single weatherproof conductors attached fam to the building walls, etc. — b. New meters should be used to replace existing 120 volts meters i because they are cheaper than converting the old meters. a ae Approximately $17 new $25 conversion. Cost of new meters is | ft mot included in plans and estimate. i \ ce. Cost of new service entrances is included in plans and estimate. (This is not usual practice for the Utility to be responsible for the service entrance.) 6. Tank Farm: a. Tank Farm capacity of approximately 94,000 gallons is set to provide fuel to operate the three engines at full capacity for one month. 2 0922 hasnt a. adi aba kite bli 7 eg da Tea ge 7. 8. b. Since regulations require a catch basin around a tank farm, a two-foot high dike surrounds the tank farm and a portion of the Powerhouse lot. This earth dike can be sloped to allow trucks to drive over it and thus use the yard for storage. It should have a valved outlet to drain runoff water. Route of New System: ‘b. The new system will follow essentially the same route as the old system as far as it extends. The new portions will extend along the roads to save right-of-way acquisition and clearing and because that is where the majority of the loads are. A single phase line is extended out to the Airport as requested by the Town Council. Detail routing of this line is not shown on the plans but a quantity of poles and material adequate for ‘it-is listed in the plans and estimate. Sectionalizing and System Protection: b. Self-Protected and Conventional Transformers: b. ce. The new system is essentially one main 3 § feeder from the new Powerhouse to the cannery at the opposite end of town. This feeder is tapped in several locations for both short 3 @ and longer 1 @ extensions. Each tap is protected by an enclosed fuse disconnect which will serve to isolate it from the system in event of trouble.” The main 3 g line is also sectionalized into four segments. The first segment is from the Powerhouse to just before the school; the second segment is from the school to Hill Avenue. The third segment is from Hill Avenue to the Greek Orthodox Church and the fourth segment is from the Church to the Cannery. Fuses are used near the Church and School sectionalizing points while a manually operated 3-pole switch is used near Hill Avenue. Self-Protected Transformers have an internal fuse which is set so high it will blow only in event of a transformer failure. Overloads are protected against by the secondary circuit breaker. Conventional Transformers can be protected by an external primary fuse selected to blow at a sustained high overload as well as short circuit. Conventional Transformers were selected for Hoonah because their primary fuses can be coordinated with the line sectionalizing fuses much easier than the Self-Protected Units could be. Co- ordination is required to reduce the maintenance expense of tracing fualts causing blown sectionalizing fuses. 3 0922 . sohgee he oot ‘ Suet ay ye J gen Bea pete SET Se cao OOS a | : fen —!

As you are probably aware, many of the villages have a real power problem - inadequate generation facilities and substand- ard (and very old) distribution systems is putting it quite mildly. In order to provide adequate and reliable power to our houses, we are attempting to assist the villages up-grade both their generation facilities and their distribution systems. By neces- sity, we must minimize the cost and are currently exploring pos- sible sources for material. Mr. Guinn of this office, talked with you today and informed me that Alaska Electric Light & Power Co. has used transformers, 2400/4160 - 120/240 volts, ranging in size from 5 kva to 75 kva. We are very interested in obtaining these transformers and would like from your office a listing of the quantities, the kva's and the respective costs. Preank SEE — Chairman, Hoonah -YRIL.

I have made several trips to Hoonah on my own time, staked out some of their lines, ordered material. Also have given them advice by telephone at all hours of the day and night and agree with you on the needed work. We have all kinds of material including transformers from 5 to 100 Kva. These transformers sell for $5.00 per Kva and are equal to about 1/2 price. Our transformer stock changes from day to day as we also use: out” of this stock, but we always have some available. Last March we acquired all of the A. J. properties including the generating plants to substations with 2400 volt equipment that will be retired as time permits. This material is in good condition and would have plenty of capacity for your requirements. It would be wise to take a look at what we have in the material line. I have not made any inquiry as to 2400 equipment but there shoyld’ be . alot of it available as most utilities are retiring equipment of this voltage. If you have any requirements I'll try and find it for you: If I can be of any help, kindly let me know.

Box 38 Hoonah, Alaska 99829 Attention: Honorable Frank See Dear Mayor See: As you are probably aware, the Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority is working with various communities and State and Federal agencies in an attempt to establish reliable electrical utility systems in a number of our we™ Southeast Alaskan villages. The major problem, of course, is money. One of the avenues we are exploring is the establishment of an REA (Rural Electrification Administra- tion) Co-operative in Southeast Alaska to serve communities such as yours. This Co-operative would be similar to the Alaska Village Electrification Co-operative (AVEC), but with the advantages of power rates and more local involvement. “ ewe’ We feel that if initial financing can be arranged through REA to (1) install new generation facilities and a new distribution system, (2) pay for training and administrative overhead, and (3) help finance the maintenance and operation costs for the first year, the venture would be financially sound and profitable. To determine whether the undertaking would be economically practical and financially feasible, we have requested REA to conduct a comprehensive power study in Hoonah, Kake, Klawock, Klukwan and Angoon.

Loescher: This letter is in regards to the electrical needs and costs in the Village of Angoon. _ Attachec is a copy of the current AVEC rate schedule as applied to all villages served by AVEC, including Angoon. we have es vimated the approximate cost for providing additional elec- tric distribution systems to the thirty new dwelling units scheduled for Angoon. ‘ve believe an allowance of approximately $400 per unit would provide for the installation of a proper system if the homes are relatively close to the existing system. ' We believa it would be desirable if ASHA could include sufficient funding in the program to provide for the installation of. the distri- bution system to the houses since we have found it is not possible to salvage material from any abandoned distribution systems which may be involved. We would appreciate being advised when the plans for the thirty units are finalized and also if any special electrical equipment is to be installed as part of the houses, which might substantially increase the power load per unit. This would include electrical hot water heaters, electrical stoves, or other items that might require a 240 volt service. Sincerely, Loyd M.

Would you please return. one copy of this layout showing which residences will become vacant due to the newly constructed homes, noted as to which will vacate due to the 1972 housing program and which will vacate due to the 1973 housing impact. Since the distribution system installed to houses vacating must be abandoned as there is no economically feasible method of recovering or salvaging buried systems, the above data will be used to determine both . the economic impact on the Cooperative and also will be used to enable a design change to balance the electrical load on the system. We will also need an up to date site plot showing the locations of the new housing and their relationship to the rest of the village. Please in- clude both 1972 and 1973 housing locations ----- again to determine material requirements and system loading. We would also like to be advised as to the electrical equipment to be installed in the new homes. Additional electric ranges, washers, dryers, circulating hot water heating, refrigerators, freezers, and other major electrical appliances will have a great impact on the sizing of the electrical system supplying power to the new housing. Additional gener- , ating capability and fuel storage may have to be programmed based upon the electrical load projected. I have attached a copy of Mr. Hodson's letter of September 16, 1971 wherein it is requested that ASHA fund an allowance of up to $400 per new housing unit for the electrical service extension to the new housing. It is ur- gent that we be advised as to the availability of this funding as the present REA loan is depleted and it may be seaive! months before a new loan application is favorably considered by REA in Washington, D. C. c Mr. Robert W. Loescher August 28, 1972 Page Two Depending upon the locations of the new housing and the electrical load presented, the unit cost per house for line extension could be as much as $1,000 per unit. In regard to our power plant site location, we are located on property belonging to the Alaska State Department of Education per agreement be- tween prior AVEC Manager, Mr. W. C.

The homes will be ready for occupancy by the end of July. Future construction commencing this summer will include 25 addi- tional units . : ' Mr. Charles Guinn of this office has been working with Mr. David Nelson in an effort to extend AVEC's distribution system to serve these houses. According to Mr. Nelson, some of the material was ordered in fiscal year 1973 and is in Angoon, some was ordered in fiscal year 1974 and is either in Angoon or will arrive shortly, and the remainder was to be provided out of your Anchorage stock and was shipped about three weeks ago. To expedite matters - since the time frame for the installation is becoming quite critical - we would like the following from your office: 1. the proposed distribution plot plan, 2. the itemized material list for the project, and 3. the corresponding schedule of where the material is and/or when it will arrive in Angoon. At our brief meeting at the Baranof Hotel last winter, you mentioned that your construction funds were extremely limited and that AVEC would be unable to either electrify new communities or even extend existing systems to service new homes at least until new REA money is appropriated. _.

Is your financial predicament still unchanged? As I mentioned to you last winter, we find ourselves unable to live with your proposed $400 hook-up charge. The money is simply not in our budget. We would hope that AVEC could justify paying at least the same $200 "per meter installed" to Angoon 1.as »they did initially to all "AVEC villages. Especially in view of the fact that by the end of our Turnkey III projects, over 75% of Angoon's population will be living in the new houses. This might create another problem: If an agency other than AVEC has to purchase the material and pay for the installation, would they not own that portion of the system? If, due to finding problems, AVEC is unable to completely finance the extension of the system as outlined in your "Line Extension Policy of the Cooperation", our Authority would be prepared to fund the labor portion of the project. We would be willing to pay the laborers $6.00/hour, and (after conferring with Mr. Nelson) we estimate that the job will take thirteen(13) men sixteen (16 days working ten (10) hours per day. We would have two men operating the digger, three men stringing wire, five men backfilling and tamping, and three ' men picking up the slack. The labor cost would run about $12,480. We would hope that, besides providing the material, you would have one of your engineers on site during the construction period to provide the necessary supervision. Mr. Guinn of this office could assist if necessary . Hoping for a favorable reaction and a prompt reply. Sincerely, TLINGIT-HAIDA REGIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY Robert W.

More information is forth coming ; ‘from the local consumers than there is from the officials that should be knowledgeable and ready to do something to better the poor service rendered by AVEC. .I realize a lot of this is second hand information and opinions but I feel it” should be passed on.to you as we will soon be face to face with the problem. Directly involved with our housing project. The biggest problem seems to be with AVEC not doing anything in the line of maintenance or repair. At present only one of the three generating plants is in operation the other two plants are broken down and have been for some time I learned. From local men that have in the past worked for AVEC ther has been many promises to send repair men to Angoon but the promises never are kept. Apparently, ther would be enough power supply for the existing users in the village and our new houses to if all the plants were able to produce. It is a shame that the existing power plants are allowed to be run down to the condition they are when it could be very efficient. Another complaint is the pay the attendent receives to look after the power house. Rocky Hunter told me he is paid $200.00 per month and is expected to be on call twenty four hours a day and he is now working for PHS to make a living. Hardly a day goes by with out a power outage simply because there is no one to attend to the plant as often as necessary. I'm sorry I don't have more factural information as to what AVEC's intentions are for the Angoon power problems. One fact is for sure, and that is if some- thing isn't done soom T-HRHA will be faced with a real problem of power supply for the new units.
