The project covered three years through June 1, 1997. The Division worked in cooperation with Alaska Power & Telephone and the U.S. Geological Survey to administer the project. The USGS collected site data, analyzed and published it once it had been reviewed. All data -- preliminary and final -- was made available to the public. AP&T subsequently developed the hydro project which (as of April 1998) provided for 100% of Skagway’s electricity needs. Supplemental Information: Alaska Power & Telephone contributed 50% of the project cost and the U.S. Geological Survey contributed 50%. No State contribution was necessary. Separate budget codes (15244 and 15109) were used for FY 1995 and FY 1994, respectively, as were separate grant agreements, 2165900 and 2154901, respectively. Funding covered all three years. Page 17 Pictured above is part of Goat Lake, a 3-square-mile glacier-fed lake in Southeast Alaska near Skagway. Stream gauging equipment was placed on the lake outlet which can be seen at the left end of the lake. The gauge used was a Leupold & Stevens electronic data logger with 15 minute update interval and L&S A-71 continuous graphic recorder driven by a Stacom gas-purge manometer housed in a 4-foot by 4-foot aluminum sided wood building on a 4-foot by 6-foot raised wooden platform on the left bank of the outlet. Elevation of the gauge was about 2,930 feet. Power was provided by 12-volt gel-cell batteries which were trickle-charged by an Arco Solar 24-watt self-regulating solar panel. The picture above shows the Goat Lake gauge house shortly after it was completed. The house was 4” x 4” and rested on a 4”x6” raided platform. There were no roads to the outlet area of Goat Lake, therefore the gauge house had to be sling loaded by helicopter to its final destination. The work was performed under an agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey and Alaska Power & Telephone.

The scope of work provided a fill line from the airstrip to the tank farm and allowed clean up of valving manifolding. Supplemental Information: The existing marine fill facilities cannot be used because the Noatak River is no longer of adequate depth to permit barge service. Fuel must be delivered by air. Page 54 r. Sa BEF Z fe ees as ‘is y ee Leaking pipes, such as the one picture above, were a major problem for bulk fuel tank farms in Noatak, a community on the Noatak River north of Kotzebue. The Division instituted a piping repair project to alleviate such problems. The repair project did not, nor was it intended to, bring all tank farms completely up to code. Pictured above is the fill point for the Noatak IRA, Northwest Arctic Borough school and Alaska Village Electric Cooperative tank farms. Construction of a new fill point was part of the piping project. The fill pipelines are protected by a metal bollard. A catch basin for spilled fuel is directly under the fill valves. The photograph at left shows detail on the stainless steel flex hose which connects tanks in the Northwest Arctic Borough school tank farm in Noatak to the manifold piping. The small pipe which takes off from the manifold pipe and proceeds up the tank is part of a pressure relief system. If pressure in the manifold piping exceeds 75 psi, the relief system opens and allows fuel and vapor to be shunted into the tank and not into the environment. The photo below shows the entirety of the school tank farm and its new manifold piping. The piping-only project was not intended to bring the tank farm into total regulatory compliance but to assure that the tank farm could continue to receive fuel.

This particular pole also is improperly braced. New poles (below) have been installed and are ready for line to be strung between them. Upon completion the distribution system met National Electrical Code and National Electrical Safety Code standards. Treated electric line poles (above) that were airlifted in to Venetie are transported to their final location by a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle. The road/trail system in Venetie is designed to accommodate such ATVs. A number of electric line poles such as the one below were in obvious need of repair or replacement. This pole is between the powerhouse and the school (red-roofed building at left). The new Venetie powerhouse includes three diesel generator units. This photo (above) was taken just before the electrical work within the powerhouse was completed. The photo below shows a tracked vehicle being unloaded from a Hercules aircraft. The tracked vehicle was used to construct and repair the distribution system in Venetie. The Hercules is about as large an aircraft as can land on the Venetie airstrip. The previous Venetie powerhouse (above) was an old container van with numerous code violations. The new powerhouse (below) is prefabricated steel. It is built on piles so as to not disturb the permafrost. A waste heat recovery system runs from the powerhouse to the washeteria to the immediate right of the powerhouse. The orange washeteria day tank is visible in this photo.
