(TPECI) performed a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the Nikolski Power Plant property located Section 24, Township 18 South, Range 136 West, Seward Meridian, Nikolski, Alaska. The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to document current and historical land uses at the site and adjacent properties, evaluate the risk of adverse environmental impacts to the site based upon those uses, and to identify recognized environmental conditions as defined by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The Phase I ESA conforms to general standards established by the ASTM (ASTM-E-1527-00). The scope of work for this Phase I ESA included: e A physical reconnaissance of the site and observation of surrounding properties for unusual land colorations, physical irregularities, and noticeable refuse piles as well as an exploration of current land use in the immediate vicinity; e A review of available information on the soils, geology, and hydrology in the vicinity of the site; e A review of available environmental documentation for the site and vicinity properties from local, state, and federal environmental agencies; e A review of available historical data and aerial photographs pertaining to the site and adjacent property use; e A review of the information obtained and an assessment of the potential for impacts by toxic, hazardous, or otherwise regulated materials; e Interviews; and e Report preparation. Environmental impairment of a property can result from activities such as illegal or unreported dumping or spilling of hazardous waste materials. Contaminants at a property may not always be apparent, and the completion of a Phase I ESA cannot guarantee that contamination does not exist. The scope of services executed for this project did not comprise an audit for regulatory compliance. TPECI prepared this report for the exclusive use of CRW Engineering Group, LLC and their agents in accordance with generally accepted professional consulting practices. No warranty, expressed or implied is made. The findings contained herein are relevant to the date of the TPECI site visit and should not be relied upon to represent conditions at a later date. In the event that changes in the nature, usage, or layout of the site or nearby properties are made, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report may not be valid. Additional information should be provided to TPECI if it becomes available. This will allow the original conclusions and recommendations to be modified as necessary. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The subject property is located on Umnak Island, Nikolski, Alaska (Figure 1) and lies at 51° 57’ 31.0” Latitude (North) and 168° 50’ 35.2” Longitude (West). The property lies in Tract 39 and east of U.S. Army Survey No. 3890, and 4904 Tract B. The property is approximately 0.8 acres in size (Figure 2). TRAVIS/PETERSON ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING, INC.

The Chaluka archaeological site, in the village of Nikolski, indicates 4,000 years of virtually continuous occupation. In 1834, the Russians used Nikolski exclusively for sea otter hunting. In 1920, residents began fox farming. In June 1942, when the Japanese attacked Unalaska and seized Attu and Kiska, residents were evacuated to the Ketchikan area. Locals were allowed to return in 1944, but the exposure to the outside world brought about many changes in the traditional lifestyle and community attitudes. In the 1950s, the Air Force constructed a White Alice radar communication in site in Nikolski which provided economic opportunities for villagers. The Air Force abandoned the site in late 1977. The Nikolski Power Plant (subject property), was built in 1983 and connects to an underground electrical distribution system. The building has a wood frame structure with plywood siding and a timber foundation. The building has been deteriorating over the last 20 years due to harsh weather. 3.1. PAST OWNERSHIP The subject property is owned and operated by the Umnak Power Company. The subject property lies on property owned by the United States Air Force (Figure 3). 3.2 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH REVIEW TPECI personnel reviewed historic aerial photographs to assess past land uses. Copies of these photographs are provided in Appendix A. 3.2.1 August 1, 1977 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH The site was undeveloped and covered with vegetation. There is a house located to the west of the subject property that has several storage sheds and scattered debris throughout the property. The adjacent property to the north also has scattered debris. The Air Force runway and apron is located to the northeast of the property. The apron contained two parked planes and numerous storage containers on the west end of the apron. 3.2.2 May 14, 1986 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH The subject property was fully developed at the time of this photograph. The powerhouse sits on a gravel pad. A transformer is located on the south side of the building. There is an aboveground storage tank (AST) in the middle of the property and one piece of heavy equipment located on the south east corner of the lot. A dump is located to the north of the property along the road. The adjacent property to the southwest has one building, several storage units or garages, heavy equipment, and fuel drums. The property to the west has been developed and has four houses. Debris still exists and scattered on the property to the north.

The powerhouse has transformers located on a gravel pad on the south side of the property. The AST is still located in the middle of the property. Numerous drums are stockpiled next to the tank and the west end of the building. The dump is located north of the property line is still visible. The adjacent property to the southwest has one building, several storage units or garages, heavy equipment, and fuel drums. The property to the west has been further developed with additional storage units or garages. Debris still exists on the property to the north. The Air Force runway and apron are located to the northeast. The area surrounding the apron is re-vegetating and encroaching on the apron. 3.3. PERSONAL INTERVIEWS Personal interviews were conducted with powerhouse employees Nick and Arnold Dushkin. Nick Dushkin informed TPECI that a spill occurred at the day tank located north of the powerhouse. The old AST piped fuel to the day tank. Nick Dushkin said the old AST was removed and replaced with a new double-walled AST closer to the powerhouse building. The excavated gravel underneath the old AST was used for the new AST pad. He said there are four hot underground power lines on the south side of the property. Arnold Dushkin informed TPECI that the leach field from the slaughterhouse was located on the subject property. However, he indicated that the slaughterhouse was not in use. He also indicated that the area on the north end of the property where the old dump site was located was filled as a result of road improvements. 4.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE A site reconnaissance was performed on May, 11, 2004. Photographs taken during the site visit are located in Appendix B. During the site visit, a photo ionization detector (PID) was used to screen soil for contamination near the old AST pad and dump. The PID was calibrated at 100- parts per million (ppm) isobutylene standard. The soil near the old AST exhibited the highest PID reading of 8 ppm. 4.1 BUILDINGS The powerhouse is the only building on the subject property. This building was built in 1983 and has a wood frame structure with plywood siding and a timber foundation. The building has all its original components and is deteriorating. The floors and walls are saturated with oil products. Some oil has leaked through the floor CRW Engineering Group, LLC 1150-01 June, 2004 Nikolski Power Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Page 7 4.2 FUEL STORAGE TANKS One double-walled AST was observed on the subject property. This tank is located on the north side of the powerhouse building in a diked and lined impoundment. 4.3 CHEMICAL MATERIALS Chemical materials observed on the subject property were gasoline, Delo 400 SAE 30, and aviation gas. Petroleum-stained soil was observed underneath the powerhouse building. 4.4 REFUSE AND DEBRIS Empty fuel drums and some miscellaneous debris were observed on the subject property. 4.5 SITE DRAINAGE Higher elevation exists on the north and west ends of the property. Therefore, site drainage occurs towards the south and east. 4.6 FILLAREAS Fill areas were observed on the subject property. A fill area containing rocks was observed on the north end of the property next to the road. This fill is a result of road improvements due to erosion. A rock pile was also observed at the location of the old AST. Mr. Dushkin said the pile was a stockpile of contaminated soil from removing the old AST A magnetic detector was used to inspect the fill areas. The instrument revealed an area next to the road that could contain a drum or a small quantity of metallic debris. This is the area where the dump was located. 4.7 WATER WELLS AND WATER SERVICE There are no water wells or water service on the subject property. 4.8 SEWER AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS There is a leach field located on the subject property. The leach field connects to the slaughter house located next to the subject property. According to Mr. Dushkin, slaughter house was never in use. 4.9 ELECTRICAL UTILITIES AND TRANSFORMERS Electrical service to Nikolski is generated on the subject property. There are two generators with a capacity of 151 kW. The plant is connected to the distribution system via buried conductors. There are a total of three transformers located on the subject property. These transformers are single-phase, pad mounted transformers and appear to be in poor condition. During flooding events, these transformers have been inundated with water. CRW Engineering Group, LLC 1150-01 June, 2004 Nikolski Power Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Page 8 4.10 SURFACE VEGETATION Vegetation is limited due to shallow volcanic extrusive igneous rocks. Vegetation consists of various tuffs of grasses, sedges, low shrubs, forbes, alders, and tundra (USDA, 1979). 4.11 ADJOINING PROPERTIES The parcels adjoining the property consist of a slaughterhouse and a grazing field. 5.0 GEOLOGY, SOILS AND HYDROLOGY Site geology, soils and hydrology are described in the following sections. 5.1 GEOLOGY AND SOILS Geology consists of thick deposits of volcanic ash. Soils consist of Drystic Cryandepts and are usually well drained and support mostly grasses, alders and shrubs. Soil tends to be black to dark reddish brown silt loam to yellowish brown at deeper depths (USDA, 1979). Bedrock is encountered at 12-inches but is typically found at depths of four to seven feet below grade. 5.2 HYDROLOGY Basins in this area typically generate 10 cubic feet of water per second, per square mile of basin area. Ground water is usually found at the volcanic ash and bed rock interface which is usually at four to seven feet in depth. 6.0 VICINITY ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS A review was made of pertinent environmental records up to a 1-mile radius of the subject property. The reviewed records include databases and files maintained by both federal and state agencies. The records search was performed in accordance with the standards published by the ASTM. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) performed the database search. A copy of the EDR report appears in Appendix C. 6.1 REGISTERED UST’S Based on a search of information, there are no registered underground storage tank (UST) sites within a 0.25-mile radius of the subject property (EDR, 2004). 6.2 LEAKING UST’S There are no leaking underground storage tanks (LUST) within a 0.5-mile radius of the subject property (EDR, 2004). CRW Engineering Group, LLC 1150-01 June, 2004 Nikolski Power Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Page 9 6.3 ADEC CONTAMINATED SITES LIST There are 3 hazardous waste sites located within a 1-mile radius of the subject property (EDR, 2003). The contaminated sites in Nikolski are at a lower elevation than the subject property and, therefore, pose little risk of cross contamination. These sites are located at: e Nikolski RRS AOC 08 Septic Tank Outfall; e Nikolski RRS LF-001 Landfill; and e Nikolski RRS OT -001 White Alice Site. 6.4 RCRA LIST RCRIS: Resource Conservation Recovery Act database includes selected information on sites that generate, store, treat or dispose of hazardous waste as defined by the Act. The source of this database is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 6.4.1 RCRA Corrective Action Facilities RCRA corrective action facilities (CORRACTS) are sites which are currently performing site clean up in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. EDR (2004) indicates that there are no CORRACTS sites located within a 1-mile radius of the subject property. 6.4.2. RCRA TSD Facilities The RCRA TSD listing includes all facilities, which report the treatment, storage, and/or disposal of hazardous waste. There are no sites located within a 0.5 mile radius of the subject property (EDR, 2004). 6.4.3 RCRA Generators The RCRA generators database includes all facilities, which report the generation, storage, transportation, treatment, or disposal of hazardous wastes. Separate listings are maintained for large and small generators, respectively defined as facilities that generate more than or less than 1,000 kg of non-acutely hazardous waste per month. There are no RCRA generators located within 0.25 miles of the subject property. 6.5 CERCLIS LIST TPECI reviewed state and federal databases to identify properties within the site vicinity that are known to contain environmental contamination or that house facilities that generate, store, treat, transport, or dispose of potentially hazardous materials. The information contained in each reviewed database is summarized below. CRW Engineering Group, LLC 1150-01 June, 2004 Nikolski Power Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Page 10 EPA National Priorities List The National Priorities List (NPL) includes properties or facilities which the EPA has designated as requiring priority remedial action and which Superfund financing has been allotted. There are no such sites located within a 1-mile radius of the subject property (EDR, 2004). EPA CERCLIS Database The CERCLIS database contains a list of properties, which have been or are being investigated by the EPA for existing or potential releases of hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund). No such sites are located within 0.5 miles of the subject property. EPA RCRA TSD List The EPA RCRA TSD list is a compilation of registered facilities that transport, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes. No such facilities are located within a 1-mile radius of the subject property. 6.6 EMERGENCY RESPONSE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM The Federal Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) is a national database of reported releases of oil and hazardous substances. There are no ERNS sites located in Nikolski (ERNS, 2004). 7.0 ASBESTOS There were no structures observed on the subject property that contained asbestos. However, TPECI did not perform a thorough asbestos investigation. 8.0 |LEAD-BASED PAINT There were no structures observed on the subject property that contained lead-based paint. However, TPECI did not perform a thorough lead-based paint investigation. 9.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Previous ascertainable documentation indicates that there is a low threat of offsite contamination from adjacent properties. TPECI found evidence that the subject property stored some hazardous substances. An AST and several 55-gallon fuel drums were observed on the subject property during a site reconnaissance. The powerhouse floor and walls were saturated in oil. TPECI observed some oil-stained gravel beneath the powerhouse that resulted from engine oil leaking through the floor. Aerial photographs and interviews revealed that historical land uses may have caused minor impacts to the subject property. A petroleum spill occurred at the old AST. Some contaminated soil is stockpiled at the old AST location. Daily fueling at the new AST have resulted in incidental fuel spills. CRW Engineering Group, LLC 1150-01 June, 2004 Nikolski Power Plan, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Page 11 TPECI believes that the probability that ‘recognized environmental conditions’ as defined by the ASTM exist at the site is low to moderate because of the nature of the activities at the site and stored hazardous materials. TPECI recommends collecting discrete soil samples along the building and the old AST location. The soil should be sampled for Gasoline Range Organics (GRO), and Diesel Range Organics (DRO). If groundwater is encountered, the water should be sampled for GRO, Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene (BTEX), and DRO. Because the transformers are within a fenced area and four live underground electrical wires radiate out from the compound, TPECI does not recommend sampling for PCB contaminants. The volcanic soils will prevent the movement of PCB compounds if a spill occurred. 10.0 REFERENCES EDR, 2003. Environmental Data Resources, Inc. The Source For Environmental Risk Management Data.

NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, contamination was removed quickly without the need for the site to be placed on the NPL, or the contamination was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL consideration. EPA has removed approximately 25,000 NFRAP sites to lift the unintended barriers to the redevelopment of these properties and has archived them as historical records so EPA does not needlessly repeat the investigations in the future. This policy change is part of the EPA's Brownfields Redevelopment Program to help cities, states, private investors and affected citizens to promote economic redevelopment of unproductive urban sites.

Targeted Brownfields Assessments-EPA’s Targeted Brownfields Assessments (TBA) program is designed to help states, tribes, and municipalities--especially those without EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots—minimize the uncertainties of contamination often associated with brownfields. Under the TBA program, EPA provides funding and/or technical assistance for environmental assessments at brownfields sites throughout the country. Targeted Brownfields Assessments supplement and work with other efforts under EPA's Brownfields Initiative to promote cleanup and redevelopment of brownfields. Cooperative Agreement Recipients-States, political subdivisions, territories, and Indian tribes become BCRLF cooperative agreement recipients when they enter into BCRLF cooperative agreements with the U.S. EPA. EPA selects BCRLF cooperative agreement recipients based on a proposal and application process. BCRLF cooperative agreement recipients must use EPA funds provided through BCRLF cooperative agreement for specified brownfields-related cleanup activities.

The Risk Management Program Rule (RMP Rule) was written to implement Section 112(r) of these amendments. The rule, which built upon existing industry codes and standards, requires companies of all sizes that use certain flammable and toxic substances to develop a Risk Management Program, which includes a(n): Hazard assessment that details the potential effects of an accidental release, an accident history of the last five years, and an evaluation of worst-case and alternative accidental releases; Prevention program that includes safety precautions and maintenance, monitoring, and employee training measures; and Emergency response program that spells out emergency health care, employee training measures and procedures for informing the public and response agencies (e.g the fire department) should an accident occur.

Section 7.2.3 requires that a current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent, such as the USGS Digital Elevation Model) be reviewed. It also requires that one or more additional physical setting sources be sought when (1) conditions have been identified in which hazardous substances or petroleum products are likely to migrate to or from the property, and (2) more information than is provided in the current USGS 7.5 Minute Topographic Map (or equivalent) is generally obtained, pursuant to local good commercial or customary practice, to assess the impact of migration of recognized environmental conditions in connection with the property. Such additional physical setting sources generally include information about the topographic, hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and geologic characteristics of a site, and wells in the area. Assessment of the impact of contaminant migration generally has two principle investigative components: 1. Groundwater flow direction, and 2. Groundwater flow velocity. Groundwater flow direction may be impacted by surface topography, hydrology, hydrogeology, characteristics of the soil, and nearby wells. Groundwater flow velocity is generally impacted by the nature of the geologic strata.

[PRI facilitates and supports policy-relevant research by faculty and graduate students across a range of public problems and issues. The Institute emphasizes the creation and dissemination of knowledge about classes of public problems and issues. It does not address solutions to specific problems or issues, a task that is more appropriate for government agencies and consultants. Dissemination is a distinguishing feature of JPRI. Research done through the institute is meant to kindle serious, informed public dialogues around policy issues. In addition to funded grants and contracts leading to reports, books, scholarly papers, and theses, the Institute organizes and supports a variety of forums through which decision makers and the general public can engage the ideas developed by faculty and graduate students. Examples of dissemination “products” from PRI include presentations to community forums, policy makers, and the like; discussion papers for public forums; and op-ed pieces. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Michael Hibbard is the Director of JPRI as well as professor in the Department of Planning, Pubic Policy & Management. Hibbard’s expertise is in community and regional development, with a special interest in the social impacts of economic change, especially natural resource and agricultural development on small towns and rural regions. He has consulted and published widely in that field. He received his PhD in regional planning from UCLA. Robert Adkins is a student in the Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management. He expects to receive his Master of Community & Regional Planning and Master of Public Administration degrees in the spring of 2008. Adkins had over 16 years of experience working in the Northwest wood products industries before founding and operating a conservation based manufacturing corporation in rural east Lane County, Oregon. In the face of the Pacific Northwest timber collapse, he worked with two consecutive Oregon Governors’ offices to rebuild and diversify the industrial base of the region. In 1995, Adkins participated in the “Pacific Rim Economic Conference of the President and the Vice President of the United States,” in which he attended a one hour closed session with Vice President Gore to discuss the natural resource issues of the Northwest. il THE WAY FORWARD: A PRELIMINARY STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR KAKE, ALASKA Table of Contents Intro dia ction ssstcsssencsasecccaee sec ged eae ogee Peete pee ee ee 1 Purpose of the Plan Background of the Situation Demographic and Socioeconomic Data Important Previous Planning Efforts in Kake The Current Situation ........ 0.0.0.0 cece cece e cence ee ee eee edeeeneeenteteeeeneeteeeeea 6 A Vision of Kake in 2020 ........ 0. cece cece cence eect eee e teen ene ene eee eneeneenee 6 Problems and Opportunities .......0..... 000 cee cee cece eee eect tet e eee e eee eeen eens 9 Kake’s Assets Kake’s Liabilities Goals and Strategies ..... 0.0... cece cece e eb c eee cnet eect eee te eset eee eneeeeenes 11 APPENDIX A: Table of Kake CEDS Goals, Objectives & Activities ............ 29 APPENDIX:B: Recent Kake Accomplishments ....................0:c cee ee sees eens 32 THE WAY FORWARD: A PRELIMINARY STRATEGIC ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR KAKE, ALASKA Introduction Preamble ‘This plan belongs to the people of Kake. It is the product of the efforts of the people, working through the community’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) Committee. Itis a public document that expresses the hopes and intentions of the community to crcate a better life for ourselves, our children, and future generations. Purpose of the Plan The purpose of this document is to identify and prioritize projects that will maintain momentum toward socio-economic health. It aims to continue the broad based local process guiding Kake’s economic growth that was set in motion two years ago when the CEDS committee promulgated its first plan, The Way Forward (July, 2005). Concretely, this document provides data and analyses that allow the community to apply for funding to implement projects that have been identified and prioritized through a highly participatory preliminary planning process in Kake. It also links the community’s goals and priorities to the regional planning efforts of the Southeast Conference, the state- designated Alaska Regional Development Organization (ARDOR), the federally- designated Economic Development District (EDD), and the federally-designated Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D) for Southeast Alaska. Background of the Situation @ Geography and History of the Region and Community The panhandle of southeast Alaska, an archipelago, is a series of mountain chains that are more under the salty waters of the Northern Pacific than above. The mountains, caped with rocky glaciers, rise steeply above the ocean surface to heights of up to 3000 feet. ‘The dense rain forest landscape provides habitat for moose, elk, black bear, deer and many other land mammals. The dark reflective waters that mirror the crystalline mountain tops are home to some of the most prized and respected sea animals and fish on our planet. Whales, sea lions, seals, and a host of different salmon and bottom feeding species reveal living dependencies that interact to the human eye as an acrobatic display of constant motion when breaking the surface of the water. Centuries of geological, largely volcanic, evolution have left these closely scattered islands accessible by boats via the many straits, fjords and canals that infiltrate the mountain beaches and fresh water streams. Navigating these waterways for centuries, the Tlingit and other southeast Alaskan tribal peoples have adapted autonomously and enjoy the unspoiled social and subsistence style of existence that they shaped for themselves. Historically, the Tlingit have been a very independent, mobile, and active people. Relying on the bounty and variety of natural resources available in southeast Alaska, they fashioned their living and societal structure with little outside influence, except through trade with their neighbors. Until the late 1870’s the tribes and villages of southeast Alaska were largely invisible to global economic and political powers. However, toward the turn of century, the modernization of canning and preserving fish brought new attention to the region and both government and private industry began to invade and control interest in the plentiful resources that were seemingly there for the taking. By 1920, over 100 canneries were operating in Alaska — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the seasonal months. Annual production peaked at over 300 million pounds of salmon, bringing the Alaskan industry, which was owned and controlled by outside interests, to total dominance over the combined harvests of Canada and the Lower 48 states. The local labor force could not keep up with the growing demand for workers and therefore, enormous numbers of seasonal workers were imported from outside. For the Tlingit people of southeastern Alaska, many of whom were eventually settled in the village of Kake on Kupreanof Island, this global demand for their resources brought social and economic transformations that threatened the very foundations of their culture. The opportunity of seasonal work — which provided them with the wherewithal for some extra provisions for the winter months and made available new technologies such as electricity and canned foods — also brought confusion, distraction and regulation to their normal way of life. Tlingit involvement in the overpowering extractive commercial fishing industry together with the tug of outside influences have combined to anchor the roots that form the economic culture that exists today in Kake. ¢ Organization of the Community The Organized Village of Kake (OVK) is the contemporary Tribal government of the Kake Indians, with the Tribe dating back to time-immemorial as they inhabited and utilized the lands and waters surrounding up to a 40-50 mile radius around the current site of Kake. The Kake Indians had an established social and political structure that served the Tribe for thousands of years until expansion from Russia and the United States of America ultimately forced political change. Thus, with the Indian Reorganization Acts (IRA) of 1934 and as amended in 1936 for Alaska, the contemporary form of the Tribe’s governmental structure was adopted in 1948 and it now functions under its contemporary Constitution. ‘The current ‘Tribal government maintains ils long-standing responsibility for the aforementioned territory as it advocates and protects the resources of its customary and traditional gathering areas and the overall well-being of its Tribal Citizens. OVK maintains sovereign status and a direct government-to-government relationship with the United States of America, while also providing many programs and services for its Citizens and overall community of Kake. ‘The City of Kake was established by community leaders in the carly 1900s, in the aftermath of the forced re-settlement. They decided to “assimilate” and formed a city government. The City government is structured under the State of Alaska and operates essential infrastructure services plus other typical municipal functions, which includes planning and project/policy implementation on a number of fronts affecting the community. The Kake Tribal Corporation was established in the mid-1970s, following passage of the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The corporation is chartered under the State of Alaska with business operations geared towards job creation and economic benefits for its shareholders, and in turn contributing to the overall economic stability of the community. The Kake School District (KCSD) is the public school system that serves the community. KCSD is made up of one K-12 school housed on a single campus. ‘The community of Kake has a high level of trust in the school system which is reflected in student achievement. ‘The Federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires that states measure and report on the success of their school systems and KCSD has been recognized for making Adequate Y carly Progress every year it has been measured.. Most graduates of the school system go on to college, vocational school, or the military. KCSD has a long history of self-evaluation and assessing the needs of the school and its students through the use of multiple resources, tools, and assessments. The school district has a veteran staff that secks to meet the needs of all students and monitors itself through a system of continuous self-evaluation and improvement. ‘The school district facilities are well maintained and in very good condition. The current student enrollment in the school district is approximately 100. In the past 8 years, the enrollment has been as high as 172, so the school district has the capacity to grow as the community re-energizes and expands its economic base. community members on May 14, 1976. The Corporation’s mission is to protect salmon rung and to provide a long term sustainable stock for the local subsistence and commercial fisherman. Currently KNFC/Gunnuk Creek Hatchery is the fifth largest Chum salmon hatchery in the state of Alaska and twelfth largest in the world. The hatchery produces up to 65 million chum salmon fry and 250,000 Coho every year, with approximately 25% of these fish eventually being caught by the state’s Common Property Commercial Fishery. KNFC produces 15 full time jobs and upwards of 25 seasonally, and contributes approximately $500,000 directly to the local economy each year. KNEC/Gunnuk Creek Hatchery is dedicated to the economic development of the Kake Community by increasing the attractiveness of the hatchery to tourists and by the enhancement of sport fishing in the area. The above joined forces through a formal agreement — a Letter of Intent to Cooperate — jointly signed in August 2004, for the purpose of economic development planning for the community of Kake. Demographic and Socio-Economic Data @ Population The official estimated population of Kake in 2004 (the most recent available data) was 663, but knowledgeable local officials put the current (2007) population at closer to 500. The population consists of nearly 75% American Indians, the remaining population being primarily White American at 24%. That is remarkably different than the picture for the State of Alaska as a whole, where approximately 74% of the population are White Americans, 20% are American Indian and rounded out with small Asian and Black American populations. The median age of residents in Kake is 32.2 years, which compares to the state median of 32.4 years. The per capita income in Kake in 2000 (the most recent available data) was $17,411, considerably lower than the State average of $22,600. The median household income is $22,600, which is again significantly lower than the State median of $51,571. ¢ Workforce The 2000 census reported that there were 491 people in the Kake workforce; the number is surely smaller in 2007, due to the overall decline in the population. The 2000 unemployment rate in Kake was approximately 25%, according to the census. Approximately 15% of the residents in Kake have a Bachelor degree or higher, that is much lower than the State average of 25%; however, the residents compare closely to the state numbers in high school education attainment at 85% to the State’s 88%. ¢ Industry 32% of the employed population of Kake work for a government entity, 60% of the population are privately employed, and 6% are sole proprietors. The percentage of government employees is somewhat higher than the State percentage of 27%, which follows that the privately employed and self-employed numbers are lower than the State averages of 65% and 8% respectively. The City, OVK, School District, SEARHC, and Kake Tribal Corporation are the largest employers. The State of Alaska community profile for Kake lists 41 business licenses for Kake in 2005 2000 (the most recent available data). The types of businesses include grocery stores and arcades; inns, resorts and coffee shop; fuel services, logging and construction compares; charter and marinas. [also shows 57 commercial fishing permits held by Kake residents in 2004. And 3 charter boats were registered in 2005. Important Previous Planning Efforts in Ikake ¢ 1984 City of Kake Comprehensive Policy Plan In 1983 the City of Kake received a grant from the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs to complete its district coastal management program and to develop a policy plan for the community. The City contracted with an engineering consultant and both the management program and the policy plan were conducted at the same time. The intent of the policy plan and the management program was lo provide guidance to the City for public decision-making regarding development, environmental conservation, transportation, and community facilities. As well, it addressed ways to maintain the traditional values and social customs of the people of Kake. The practical outcome of the 1984 plan was the creation of City policy that gave direction for certain annexations and reconveyances, and for the implementation of strategies regarding economic development, community facilities/services, land usce/resource management, and transportation. ¢ Organized Village of Kake Planning Activities By the beginning of the 1990s, the tail end of clear-cut timber harvests on the Island scomed to be in sight. This prompted OVK to sponsor a number of feasibility analyses regarding Kake’s future. In May, 1990, an independent consulting agency was hired do a feasibility study on a fuel facility, seafood processing plant, tourism and recreation activities, and the construction of a longhouse. The findings were that all these projects would be beneficial and practical for OVK and Kake. In 1992 OVK hired an economic consultant to investigate employment opportunities and the workforce of Kake. The resulting 3-volume report included statistical data regarding employment and consumer spending patterns; interviews with community members focusing on household, employers and available historical data, the education level and work skills of Kake’s labor force; the flow of funds to, through, and out of Kake; and residents’ perceptions of the community’s prospects and obstacles to progress. The Preliminary CEDS Plan (2004) In 2003-04, the local economy had reached a crisis. The two mainstays of the economy, logging and fishing, had significantly diminished in their ability to contribute to the local cash economy. Kake Tribal Corporation, which was at one time the largest employer in the community, had exhausted its holdings and employed only a handful of people. Fishermen were finding that their wild salmon catch had difficulty competing in the market with farmed salmon. With the decline of these two industries, the loss of jobs was so great that community officials estimated at least 150 working age residents were forced to leave the Island from 2002 to 2005, to find work. The social impact on the young and elderly from such an exodus is obvious. In response, the leadership and people of Kake took the initiative to set a new direction for the community. They broke down the barriers of communications between local factions and come together as one community to develop a preliminary Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), titled The Way Forward and promulgated in July, 2005. The Current Situation The Way Forward identified and prioritized 55 projects that the community needed to undertake. Eight of them were accomplished before or during the preparation of The Way Forward in 2005. An additional 23 projects have been completed, are underway, or have been funded and are ready to implement, for a total of 31 project accomplishments. They address all parts of the community, from youth to the elderly; they deal with the environment, with infrastructure, and with personal health and well-being. They are detailed at the end of this document. A few examples of Kake’s accomplishments are the reconstruction of the Dam, the secured funding for the expansion of the medical clinic, the acquisition of certified police personnel, and funding to carry out a feasibility/business plan study to construct a multi-use dock. Kake has come a long way in the two years since The Way Forward was developed. The progress that these actions demonstrate shows a level of community commitment that bodes well for the future of Kake. Internal communication and cooperation are strong. The community has a broadly shared vision of its future and is beginning to seize control of the handles that will guide it toward its economic future. There is still much to be done, but things are moving forward. A Vision of Kake in 2020 In the year 2020 the village of Kake on the island of Kupreanof in southeast Alaska, looks remarkably unchanged from 15 years before when approached from a distance. Visitors arriving by water up the Keku Straits are enchanted by the community’s quiet and peaceful character as it blankets the island shoreline. Kake’s people, the majority of whom are Tlingit, have preserved their cultural values and historical sense of place. The Old Cannery — one of the few remaining historical landmarks of its kind — has been renovated to reflect the community’s pride in the past and control of its future. A Tlingit elder greets visitors arriving at the Cannery cruise ship dock by speaking in the Tlingit native language at (he Chamber of Commerce's visitor center. A Tlingit youth translates the clder’s welcoming message to the visitors. A plethora of attractions capture visitors’ attention. Outside the Cannery the air is filled with the aroma of inviting foods available from Cannery vendors -- including traditional smoked and cooked fish and other Tlingit specialties. Various sounds provide evidence of the numerous small trade shops of artisans and island crafters working to produce their wares inside the complex of buildings. Visitors are treated to a tour of part of the Cannery that has been restored to its original function; wax models dressed in Tlingit fishery clothing stand at their worl stations to process salmon. This display complements the Cannery’s muscum. Those who have enjoyed the previous day of sport fishing can have their catch canned right before their eyes at the small-scale canning service that is associated with the historical wax display. Other parts of the buildings encourage visitors to walk freely and shop while they watch the Tlingit crafters work on their products. Another, more secluded, section of the Cannery is home to those of Kake’s elderly who are no longer able to live independently. Here the nationally recognized “Wellness” program administrated by OVK officials offers youth counscling that bonds young and old people to a satisfying consciousness of their civilization’s past contributions, current worth, and future distinction. After experiencing the Cannery, visitors stroll a series of rustic boardwalks that lead them toward Gunnuk Creck. Along the way are more gift shops and stands, but the main excitement is the bear-viewing platform. As they walk to the bear viewing, visitors are taken by how clean and fice of litter the streets and beaches are in Kake. Equally, the character and demeanor of the shops and houses demonstrate pride and sound municipal planning. Located about five hundred feet down stream from the Kake fish hatchery, the bear viewing platform provides a close-up (but safe) look at the many island black bears that gather annually at the site to feed on the thousands of dog salmon making their way upstream to spawn. Just off of the platform and below in the creck are two mock fish traps that have been constructed with traditional materials and form. The fish are not actually trapped, but are allowed to swim through and continue on. However the scene authentically portrays a cultural heritage that is ages old. From the bear viewing platform a shuttle bus transports visitors up “killer hill” to the totem park. Here, the tallest totem pole in the world towers over 130 feet in the air, overlooking the magnificent Keku Straits. A variety of other locally carved totem poles are also erected at the site. Looking out into the straits, just beyond Grave Island, visitors can see and hear humpback whales breeching and feeding. Small boats and kayaks guided by local people are busy taking other visitors out to see the whales, while still respecting their habitat. As the visitors return to their small cruise ship or find lodging at one of the local accommodations, it becomes obvious that the people of Kake have opened their village to them. Kake’s people, culture, and lifestyle are different then other communities in Alaska. There is no carnival atmosphere in Kake. Visitors to Kake come because the community maintained itself with sincerity and a genuine articulation of cultural heritage. Kake shares its treasures on a modest scale, while still maintaining its private dignity. Nowhere is this more poignant than at the Kake Tribal House, where visitors are invited to watch the Tlingit dancers in their vibrant regalia. Kake’s small but thriving tourist industry is just one component of its diverse economic and industrial base. The broadband communications system that the Kake Tribal Corporation brought to the island, along with the vocational training center located in the old elementary school building owned by the City, have been instrumental in creating a local workforce that is technologically literate, equipped with the latest business expertise, and well-versed in communication skills. Kake Tribal Corporation has diversified and is a sound contributor in job creation and retention with its call center, construction company, and cold food storage facility. OVK and the City of Kake work together to provide a supportive environment for private industry and local entrepreneurs to thrive and succeed. The community has a revolving loan fund that supports the cycle of fresh small business ideas and plans that are refined and validated by the Kake vocational training center. The Chamber of Commerce is well-funded, strongly united, and involved with all business entities in the community. The Chamber’s “Brand Kake” program helps market the community’s numerous positive assets and high-quality products with pride to the outside world. Kake enjoys access to the regional electrical grid and by maintaining ownership of a good deal to the infrastructure has been able to hold down the KWH price. There are also several wind generators on the island that have helped Kake make the transition to the intertie and have attracted industry in the interim. The dam is restored with a small hydro unit that helps cover the cost of operations for itself and the fish hatchery. The fish hatchery is a major tourist attraction; it also has more water than it needs and lower electrical cost. The salmon are returning to Kake, the runs are growing, and egg incubation production is at an all time high. The Tongass National Forest is maintaining its lands with excellent stewardship and on Kake Tribal Corporation’s lands replanting has replaced clear-cuts with ten-year stands. The main trail systems around Kake have been expanded and improved and are very useful to the people of Kake complementing the community-wide fitness program for better health. Visitors rent mountain bikes on a regular basis to ride the trails. The City’s new sewage treatment plant provides cleaner beaches and improved air quality, as well as allowing the community to offer incoming ships the service of disposing of their waste. Students in Kake’s school system achieve high marks on national tests. They participate in the annual “Kake Clean-up Day” and intern regularly with the Kake Vocational ‘Training, Center, : ‘Vransportation to and from Kake is convenient and cheap for people, goods, and services. The road to Petersburg is complete and the CEDS committee has established strong local regulatory control over the use of the road. A major freight company has set up shop on Kake and is moving large shipping containers in and out of the community, creating, more diversity by establishing Kake as a shipping hub for the region. _Kake owns and operates its own ferry out of the new ferry terminal and ships people and cargo at will and ona regular timetable. Thus, froma distance Kake docs look very much the same village as 15 years ago. However, it has seized its economic independence and shaped the social invasions that come with progress, change and growth, The governments of Kake, private industry, and the people work together with sound direction and perseverance to ensure that the values they stand for and the irreplaceable cultural heritage they represent will remain unadulterated for generations to come. Problems and Opportunities @ Kake’s Asscts Kake has two primary asscts that can help the community achieve its vision. First, Kake is surrounded by a pristine and breathtaking environment that exists nowhere else on the planet and could only have been created by powers beyond those of man. The wildlife and scenery in and around Kake cannot be replicated. Contrasting what Kake has to offer visitors with communities in other locales, Kake glimmers in the Alaskan sun like diamonds in a jewelry store. Sccond, Kake’s people are friendly and devoted to residing on Kupreanof. Despite their struggling economy and the number of people who have been forced to temporarily leave their community to seek employment, there is a strong, determined, and resilient body of citizens who work strenuously every day to fight for the survival of their community. With a sound strategic plan, this community character trait will greatly benefit Kake in the better times ahead. Beyond these two intrinsic factors, the natural wonder of Kake’s location and the character of its people, are other important community assets. Kake is the home of one of the last historical landmarks of its kind, the “old cannery.” This prized asset has the potential to be one of the dominant attractions in Southeast Alaska. The Kake Tribal Corporation is a keen asset that will help promote the growth of private industry in Kake. Kake Tribal Corporation, although in transition, has a well-established history of job creation. Further, the U.S. Congress is working in good faith with the Alaska Native Corporations of Southeast Alaska to ensure that these vital entities will continue to be able to contribute to the communities that depend on them. Kake Tribal Corporation will be a sound building block for the future. Taking advantage of a very controlled tourism industry in Kake would be straightforward considering the natural assets they have to offer. This tends to be exactly in step with the overall trends of tourism in Southeast Alaska. One respected independent firm currently working with OVK has expressed knowledge that the industry has saturated other communities — creating an over-flow of opportunity — and there are plans to build at least three new large cruise ships in the near future. These trends suit Kake very well. The community is not interested in participating in the large (1000-800 foot) cruise ship market. The introduction of more large ships to service the mega tourist locations will create a demand for smaller tourist ships to find more low- key destinations with equal amenities. Kake intends to target high end, low volume tourism to their community instead of the high volume community tourism that the larger ships cater to. Kake has both a municipal and a tribal government that are well in touch with the concerns and needs of the community. They have pulled together in joint efforts to capture the future opportunities of gaining access to the regional electric intertie and possible transportation improvements. Tapping into the intertie will give Kake the volume of electricity it needs to attract industry; opening up a more effective and cost- efficient form of transportation will allow Kake to have better access to goods and services. @ Kake’s Liabilities Kake faces a few barriers in restoring itself to economic health. The community has a limited and relatively low skilled workforce. The lack of an industrial economic base and the isolation of the [sland block certain opportunities. Transportation and electrical supply are not adequate to support economic growth in Kake, and their costs are too expensive. The CEDS committee regards improvement of these services as critical to the future of the community. Goals and Strategies The goals and strategies included here are essentially an update of The Way Forward, Projects in The Way Forward that have been accomplished or are in process of implementation have been moved to the “Recent Accomplishments” section of this document. New projects were identified through an extensive participatory process over the summer of 2007. The newly identified projects and the projects brought forward from The Way Forward were te-prioritized by the CEDS committee at an open community meeting on August 23, 2007. Prioritization was based on the importance of the project for the community, with respect to the following. ¢ Prioritics e Create local jobs that are a good fit for local workers e Expand opportunities for local businesses e Support, protect, and strengthen Tlingit cultural values ® Conserve and restore natural resources I Areas for Action e Cultural, heritage, and eco-tourism » Goal: Make Kake accessible and attractive to visitors Objective #1: Multi-use dock Activity: Feasibility study/Business plan Priority: 1 Responsible party: OVK Collaborators: EDA Resources required/source: $200K,grants, Expected date of completion: spring, 2008 Activities: Design & Engineering (PS&E) and Objective #2: Construction Priority: 1 Responsible party: OVK Collaborators: EDA Resources required/source: $4.7M,grants Expected date of completion: 2010 Cannery conversion project Priority: | Responsible party: OVK Collaborators: Resources required/source: $10M, grants, special appropriations Expected completion date: ongoing-2020 Activity: Create a museum Priority: 2 Responsible party: OVK Collaborators: Resources required/source: $500K, grants Expected date of completion: planning Activity: Cannery marketing program Priority: 2 Responsible party: private, OVK, City Collaborators: Resources required/source: $1M, CDBG and other grants (includes construction of Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Center) Expected date of completion: 2010 Arcas for Action © Cultural, heritage, and eco-tourism » Goat Make Kake accessible and attractive to visitors Objective #2: Cannery conversion project (Comfinued) Activity: Brand Kake program Priority: | Responsible party: private, OVI, City Collaborators: Resources required/source: $100K Expected date of completion: 2009 Activity: Visitor Center Priovity: 2 Responsible party: Chamber, City, OVvVK Collaborators: Resources required/source: sce marketing Expected date of completion: 2010 Objective #3: Visitor attractions Activity: ‘Tribal House Priority: 2 Responsible party: OVIS Collaborators: USFS, City, KPC, CC Resources required/source: $1M Expected date of completion: Activity: Guide services, including “kayaking and “six-pack” operations Priority: 1 Responsible party: Private industry Collaborators: Resources required/source: Expected date of completion: Activity: Boardwalk, and mock fish traps Priority: | Responsible party: City, OVIC Collaborators: USFS Resources required/source: $30K, USFS Expected date of complction: 2011 13 Areas for Action e Cultural, heritage, and eco-tourism » Goak Make Kake accessible and attractive to visitors Objective #3: Visitor attractions (Continued) Activity: Whale watching and other wildlife (e.g., eagles) Priority: 3 Responsible party: private industry Collaborators: KTC Resources required/source: Expected date of completion: ongoing Activity: stabilize/facelift world’s tallest totem pole Priority: 2 Responsible party: City, OVK, private Collaborators: SEARHC Resources required/source: $200K Expected date of completion: 2009-10 Performance measure: coincide with new clinic Activity: Community Tribal House (tourism only at Totem Park in summer) Priority: 2 Responsible party: OVK, City Collaborators: USFS, Sealaska Heritage Resources required/source: $50K Expected date of completion: Activity: Totem Park (located by health clinic) Priority: 2 Responsible party: City, OVK Collaborators: SEARHC Resources required/source: $15K Expected date of completion: 2009-10 Performance measure: coincide with new clinic Arcas for Action » Natural resources and cnvirornment » Goal: Maintain/restore the beauty, health, and economic productivity of Kake’s natural environment Objective #1: Conservation-based development Activity: Sawmill (including support for current operation) .
