The following conclusions and recommendations have been presented to the Tuluksak Native Community: COMMUNITY CONSULTATION a housing needs survey was developed which was completed by most Tuluksak households. two review meetings were held with members of the IRA Council and staff throughout the project. two community meetings were held on November 29, 2000 and January 20, 2001. POPULATION There are currently 443 people living in Tuluksak, according to December 1999 DCED records. It has been assumed that an additional 30 people wish to move to Tuluksak in the next 10 years. Using a growth rate of 3.0%, the community population is expected to be 534 in 2005, 619 in 2010, 717 in 2015 and 849 in 2020 (nearly double the number currently). HOUSING NEEDS To meet all the housing needs over the next 10 years, Tuluksak must expand their housing stock by 105 units (excluding the replacement units). The estimated ten year housing needs are summarised in the table below: Existing 1-5 Yrs 6-10 Yrs Total Replacement WwW - - 17 Overcrowding 40 - - 40 In-Migration - 3 | 3 6 Household Formation - 26 33 59 Total 57 29 36 122 Almost half the new units are required to address overcrowding and the replacement of houses in sub-standard condition. DNA David Nelee- Associates March 2001 ej Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan The housing and lot development plan recommends that Tuluksak construct 9 houses per year to meet a portion of the estimated housing needs. The IRA Council may wish to explore the feasibility of development small housing units to accommodate the housing needs of singles and elders. RESIDENTIAL LOT REQUIREMENTS Tuluksak has 12 vacant serviced lots available for immediate development. Not including the replacement houses, Tuluksak needs to build 73 new houses over the next 10 years to meet a portion of their housing needs. To meet the program outlined in the housing & lot development plan, 61 new lots are required. The housing & lot development plan recommends that 70 new lots be developed so that Tuluksak has a supply of vacant lots at the end of 10 years. PROPOSED LOCATION FOR NEW RESIDENTIAL LOT DEVELOPMENT The IRA Council has identified two areas to meet their estimated 10 year lot needs — an extension to the subdivision by the existing power plant and development on the Moravian Lands once the airstrip has been moved. The IRA Council has also identified one additional area farther up the existing airstrip to meet the lots needs for residential development beyond 10 years. LAND USE PLAN HIGHLIGHTS The Land Use Plan is based on existing land use, physical constraints and comments made by the community and the IRA Council. The Land Use Plan shows expanded areas for housing and community facilities and recognises development constraints (water courses & flooding) and protecting environmentally sensitive and culturally important areas from development. CAPITAL PLAN HIGHLIGHTS The 5-year Capital Plan focuses on infrastructure, housing and community facilities to accommodate estimated population growth. The capital projects described in the Capital Plan are proposed to meet the community’s infrastructure, housing and community facility needs. The Capital Plan is summarised in the table below: | Capital Plan Sumn toe 2000/01 2001/02 2002/03 2003/04 Infrastructure $1,810,000 $2,123,000 $7,020,000 $4,205,000 $3,098,000 $18,248,000 Housing $1,455,000 $1,455,000 $1,455,000 $1,455,000 $1,455,000 $7,275,000 | Community $100,000 $790,000 $0 $50,000 $480,000 $1,420,000 Facilities Economic $25,000 $150,000 $0 $0 $0 $175,000 Development Total $3,390,000 $4,518,000 $8,475,000 $5,710,000 $5,025,000 $27,118,000 DNA Taian stnciginns March 2001 eii Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION. ............2.-.:--cccocescseeseesosnrsntesssnnnsanseseestesesesasesacbaseostsietseteocecsessennnsesctucttoiee 1 1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES | 1.2 PLANNING PROCESS... 2 1.3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTG.............. ‘ ao 2.0 EXISTING & FUTURE POPULATION ccessecevesescesensenneesousvsessevsseasstevesceussereseeaessessseens 4 a1 HISTORIC POPULATION GROWTH..... 4 2.2 EXISTING COMMUNITY POPULATION .. a4 2.3 IN-MIGRATION POPULATION.......... 5 2.4 POPULATION PROJECTIONS ..........:ccccecceeeeeseeseeeeseneeeeeeeseeceneeseseseeneseneesesnesens 6 3.0 HOUSING NEEDS o.oo. cece cc ccee cee eteeeeeeeeseseceaseseceseeseeeseseseeseeessesseaesesenseneteaee® 3.1 EXISTING HOUSING STOCK.. 3.2 EXISTING OVERCROWDING.. 3.3 IN-MIGRATION ..........-::0:000+ 3.4 HOUSEHOLD FORMATION.. 3.5 10 YEAR HOUSING NEEDS SUMMA 4.0 LOT SUPPLY & DEMAND: .........i:2.. 5... .cc2) sccssezevsccevecazsves essen cusves exasnovaswereertest sesscesvests 41 EXISTING VACANT SERVICED LOT SUPPLY............0...:cccsesceseceeeeeseeeeeeeeeenee 4.2 10: YEAR.

They retained David Nairne & Associates Ltd. to work with them on their Community Plan, which includes the following components: e population and housing needs assessment, e lot supply and demand, e Land Use Plan; e needs assessment, and e Capital Plan. Completion of the Community Plan provides the community with the information and background needed to meet their capital and community needs in a timely and cost effective manner. 1.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The key project objectives are: e to consult with the IRA Council and key staff throughout the planning process; e to work closely with the community during the planning project; e to prepare an estimate of the community’s long term housing and residential lot development needs; e to identify a comprehensive set of community, physical and capital development objectives to meet the community’s goals over the next 5 years which make the most effective use of the community’s resources; e to identify potential economic development opportunities and initiatives based on consultation with the IRA Council, staff and the community; e to prepare a Land Use Plan for Tuluksak; and e to prepare a Capital Plan that clearly identifies current and future capital projects including cost estimates as well as an implementation phasing plan. DNA Dovid alee - Associates March 2001 e1 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 1.2 PLANNING PROCESS The Tuluksak Community Plan was prepared with the involvement of the entire community throughout the planning process. The following activities contributed to the preparation of the Community Plan: A Project Initiation meeting was held with the Council and Community on May 24, 2000. At this meeting, Community members identified planning priorities and issues including possible locations for new housing. A tour of Tuluksak provided the consultants with an understanding of some of the significant planning and development issues facing the Village. Throughout the Summer of 2000, a Community Survey was co-ordinated with all the households in the Village. The Survey provided important population and housing information, a needs assessment as well as the Village’s development priorities. The Community Survey was completed in October, 2000. In the Summer/Fall of 2000 a number of related projects were underway: i asubdivision plan was developed and 4 new lots were constructed in the Village; ii a proposed location was identified for a new power plant to replace the existing facility; iii a proposed location for a new water treatment plan and storage tank was identified. A meeting was held with the Tuluksak IRA Council President on November 28, 2000 in Anchorage to present the results of the Community Survey, Needs Assessment and Community Development Priorities. A Community Meeting was held on November 29, 2000 in Tuluksak to present the results of the Community Survey, Needs Assessment and Community Development Priorities. At the Meeting, community members developed a Draft Land Use Plan to guide development activities throughout Tuluksak over the next 5 years. A Community Meeting was held on January 20, 2001 to present the Draft Community Land Use Plan and Draft Capital Plan. Based on input received from the Community, IRA Council and Staff, the final Tuluksak Community Plan was completed and submitted to the IRA Council. DNA Dovid Maine -Arsocater March 2001 02 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 1.3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS David Nairne & Associates Ltd. wishes to acknowledge the following individuals whose assistance was invaluable in completing this report: e President Joe Alexie and Tuluksak Native Community IRA Council; e Anthony Caole, Tribal Administrator; e Laura Kashatok, Assistant Administrator; e The Tuluksak community. Ds ne March 2001 3 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 2.0 EXISTING & FUTURE POPULATION Population information was gathered as part of the Community Survey which was completed in October 2000. Information collected includes age, sex and relation to the household head. 2.1 HISTORIC POPULATION GROWTH Figure 2.1 below shows growth in Tuluksak community population from 1880 to 1999. The Figure shows that growth was 2.9% per year from 1970 to 1999. It also shows that since 1990, the Village has experienced very strong population growth, averaging 7.2% per year. The Community Plan uses a growth rate of 3% to project growth in the community population from 2000 to 2020. 600 | S 500 3 2B 400 a > 300 5 | 2 200 § 8 100 0 1880 1890 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 1999 Year Figure 2.1: Historic Community Population - 1880 to 1999 2.2 EXISTING COMMUNITY POPULATION The DCRA records shows that the community population was 443 in December, 2000. Because not all surveys were completed, the detailed community profile includes 374 people. The community population by age (using survey information) is shown below in Figure 2.2. The age distribution will not be completely accurate as 15% of the population are not included as they did not complete a survey.

The community’s youthful population will generate future demands for housing as well as community services and programs. 2.3 IN-MIGRATION POPULATION The number of households not currently living in Tuluksak who might move there in the next 10 years has been estimated to be 6 families. The Community Plan further assumes the following about these families: e the in-migrating families will be of a similar size to those in the Village now — 5 people per house or 30 people; and e in-migration will be spread over the next ten years with 15 people in the first 5 years and 15 in the next 5. It is assumed that there will be a significant number of young people in the in-migration population which will place additional demands on education, housing and other community services. DNA... March 2001 05 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 2.4 POPULATION PROJECTIONS The following assumptions were used to project growth of the community population over a 20 year period to December, 2020: e _in-migration will total 30 people over the next 20 years; e natural growth of the community population over the next 20 years will be slightly higher than it has been in the last 30 years and significantly lower than it has been in the last 10 years. A growth rate of 3% is used for projections from 2000 to 2020. Population projections are presented below in Figure 2.3. The projections are estimates based on the assumptions stated above. Both the population projections and the assumptions should be reviewed annually to reflect any changes or events that may impact anticipated in-migration or growth rates. 1000 849 800 717 600 19. 534 443 400 # of People 200 | | 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 Year _ Figure 2.3: Community Population Projections Figure 2.3 shows that the projected community population will reach 619 by 2010 and 849 by 2020, based on the stated assumptions. The community population projections include individuals and families who have indicated they wish to move to Tuluksak. DNA. March 2001 °6 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 3.0 3.1 HOUSING NEEDS The housing needs assessment is based on information contained in the community profile and recent experience in similar communities. As the community profile comprises only 85% of the population, extrapolations have been made to estimate housing needs for those people who did not respond to the survey. Housing needs are broken down into four categories: e Replacement: houses which are in very poor condition and cannot be economically renovated. e¢ Overcrowding: houses with more than one family (adult singles or families with children) living in them. e In-Migration: households not currently living in Tuluksak who have expressed an interest in moving there. e Household Formation: new households formed through natural ageing based on the 15 to 19 year olds and the 10 to 14 years olds and using a 0.5 headship rate to account for delayed household formation and new households of two or more people. EXISTING HOUSING STOCK There are currently 76 occupied housing units in Tuluksak. As no detailed inspections of these houses were completed, there is limited house condition information available. People responding to the survey were asked to evaluate the condition of their house. Their responses are detailed in Figure 3.1 on the following page. The figure indicates that just over half the housing stock (52%) is considered to be in fair-poor or worse condition. Based on this information, it has been assumed that 17 houses require replacement as it is uneconomical to renovate them.

Table 3.1 below shows a proposed home renovation program. Table 3.1: Replacement & Renovations 1-5 Yr 6-10 Yr Total Replacement 17 - 17 Renovations 30 - 30 It is assumed that houses will be replaced on the same lot. Major renovations will include: e structural improvements; e replacement of major elements, such as roofing, windows and heating system; e replacement of kitchen and bathroom fittings (where applicable) and flooring; and e exterior and interior repainting. Minor renovations will include repairs to the structure, roof and windows as well as exterior and interior repainting. DNA. March 2001 °8 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 3.2 3.3 3.4 EXISTING OVERCROWDING There are 443 people living in 76 housing units in Tuluksak — which means there is an average of 5.8 people in each house. This suggests that there is significant overcrowding in the community. In fact, over half the houses in Tuluksak appear to be overcrowded based on the data contained in the community profile. An additional 40 units are required to alleviate existing overcrowding. When the IRA Council has relieved the overcrowding by constructing 40 additional houses, the number of people per house will reduce to 3.8 which is more typical of a community without an overcrowding problem. It is assumed that the IRA Council will be able to maintain a healthy house construction program in the future to ensure that future overcrowding does not occur. IN-MIGRATION The return of 30 people to the Tuluksak community over the next 10 years will increase the demand for housing. It is assumed that 6 families will move to Tuluksak over the next 10 years, 3 families in years 1 to 5 and 3 families in years 6 to 10. The availability of lots and housing will influence when these families are able to move to Tuluksak. HOUSEHOLD FORMATION Household formation is housing need generated by the ageing of the community population. Table 3.2 summarises the estimated housing needs from household formation over the next 10 years. Table 3.2: Housing Need from Household Formation 1-5 Yr 6-10 Yr Total Community Population 25 31 56 In-Migration 1 2 3 Total 26 33 59 The housing needs resulting from household formation are high primarily because of the significant number of young people living in Tuluksak. DNA David aime : Associates March 2001 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 3.5 10 YEAR HOUSING NEEDS SUMMARY The current housing stock consists of 76 occupied houses. The community’s estimated 10 year housing needs are as follows: e¢ 17 houses will be required to replace houses which it is not economical to renovate; e 40 houses are required to alleviate existing overcrowding; e 6 houses are required to accommodate the needs of community members moving to Tuluksak communities; e 59 houses are required to meet housing needs resulting from household formation. The total estimated ten year housing need is 122 new houses. Accounting for the replacement of existing houses, the community’s housing stock will rise by 105 additional houses.

March 2001 °10 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 4.0 4.1 4.2 LOT SUPPLY & DEMAND This section of the Community Plan presents a strategy for meeting the housing and residential lots needs Tuluksak over the next 10 years taking into account: e the community’s population growth projections; e the existing and estimated future housing needs; e the Village’s current supply of vacant lots; e potential new housing lot development initiatives; e anestimate of the number of houses that the IRA Council can construct in a year. EXISTING VACANT LOT SUPPLY The IRA Council prepared an inventory of vacant serviced lots that are available for immediate use. The inventory identified the following: e 8 infill lots located throughout the developed area of the Village; and e 4recently constructed lots as part of the Old Power Plant Road Subdivision. 10 YEAR LOT REQUIREMENTS To determine the community’s residential lots need, the following assumptions have been made: e the 17 new houses which will replace demolished houses will be constructed on the same lot as the house they replace; e the IRA Council plans to build 90 houses over the next 10 years (an average of 9 per year); e the community has 12 vacant serviced lots available for development; e new subdivision development is required to enable Tuluksak to meet their 10 year residential lot needs; and e new lots will be constructed in phases to match housing development. Based on these assumptions, the IRA Council must develop a total of 61 new serviced residential lots (90 needed less 17replacement less 12 vacant lots) to meet the ten year housing need. We recommend that the community construct 70 lots so that there is a sufficient supply of vacant lots to meet their housing needs beyond 10 years. DNA. March 2001 ei Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 4.3. NEW DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES The following are potential residential development opportunities — these are explored in more detail in the Land Use Plan and Capital Needs Assessment: 1. The Village recently constructed Phase 1 (4 lots) in the new Old Power Plant Road Subdivision which are available for immediate use. The current Subdivision Plan includes an additional 7 un-built lots. A further 17 lots can be constructed as an extension to the Subdivision. These lots should not be constructed until a new Power Plant is constructed in a different location to replace the existing Power Plant. A proposed conceptual layout showing how the 18 lots may be developed is presented on Figure 6.1 — Land Use Plan. 2. The proposed relocation of the Village Airstrip will allow for the development of approximately 45 lots on land which is currently located on the Moravian Church lands. Development of these new lots cannot proceed until a new airstrip has been constructed and the Moravian Lands have been transferred to the Village. The Conceptual Layout presented in Figure 4.1 to the left shows a subdivision with 45 new residential lots generally the same size as the existing lots in the Village. A large block of land in the north east corner of the conceptual plan has been left aside as Open Space next to the existing Village Cemetery. A possible Phase 1 with 15 lots is shown in the bold dotted lines. Figure 4.1: Conceptual Layout for Moravian Lands Subdivision DNA March 2001 e12 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 4.4 3. Once the existing airstrip has been “decommissioned”, new lots can be developed on either side of the old airstrip along its entire length. Approximately 50 lots could be constructed. The total estimated lot yield from the three areas is approximately 120 lots which will approximately meet the 10 year lot need for the Village. HOUSING & LOT DEVELOPMENT PLAN Sections 3.0 and 4.0 documented Tuluksak’s ten year housing needs and lot requirements. Figure 4.2 presents a needs-based housing and lot development plan which will enable the community to meet their housing needs in an orderly and cost effective manner. The Housing & Lot Development Plan recommends that the community construct 9 houses per year over the next 10 years and assumes that the 12 vacant serviced lots are used before constructing any new lots. Given the community’s significant housing needs, we suggest that the community may wish to consider the following options to meet some of their needs: e construct an elders housing complex with 8 units and a common area which would also serve as a seniors centre for the wider community; e construct small (600 square foot) detached houses for single people; and e look at financing alternatives such as revolving housing funds to assist community members to construct their own houses.

Unfunded housing need is the total housing need in that year which has not been met. For example, 2001 includes the existing housing need of 57 plus 6 of the 1 to 5 year housing need minus the 9 new houses constructed that year, for a total unfunded housing need of 54 (63 - 9). This reduces to 51 with the construction of 9 new houses in 2002 and the addition of 6 from the community's 1 to 5 year needs. Unfunded housing need is 32 in 2010 as a portion of the housing needs have been met. 2. New housing units are the number of units required each year for the community to meet their existing, 1 to 5 year and a portion of the 6 to 10 year housing needs. 3. New residential lots are the number of lots required to accommodate the houses built to meet the community's existing, 1 to 5 year and a portion of the 6 to 10 year housing needs. Sections 2.0 to 4.0 documented the population growth projections, the future housing needs and the lot requirements for Tuluksak. The conclusions and assumptions presented are based on available information as well as input and direction from the IRA Council. It is recommended that the IRA Council undertake an annual review to confirm these assumptions and conclusions. It is further recommended that the IRA Council update the population and housing profile on a regular basis to ensure that critical development and capital allocation decisions are based on the best available information. DNA. March 2001 ° 14 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 5.0 5.1 COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVES As part of the Community Plan project, a survey of Tuluksak households was completed in Fall 2000. A summary of the community survey is presented in Appendix A. In total, 84% of Tuluksak households completed the survey. The objectives of the survey were to: e provide an opportunity for all households to share their ideas and vision for Tuluksak; e provide direction with respect to the use and development of the Tuluksak land base and its resources; e to identify potential new community businesses; e to assess satisfaction with existing community infrastructure, facilities and services; e to identify potential new community facility requirements; and e to identify the most important issues in the community. LAND USE Traditional Use & Environmental Protection The land provides most people in Tuluksak with wood, wildlife — food, water, as well as plants and herbs. Over a quarter of respondents (28%) knew of areas which had special or cultural significance in or near Tuluksak that should not be built on, developed or disturbed. Most people (88%) were not aware of wildlife habitat in or near Tuluksak that should not be built on, developed or disturbed. In general, the community supports staying 100 feet away from rivers and creeks and building away from areas used for subsistence activities. Future Land Uses The chart below shows the community’s priorities for developing land inside the village. Housing and community facilities are the two most supported land uses. DNA.

Almost everyone (97%) feels that elders housing should be built with health care services available in the project. Most people support the tribe building houses through force account with some support for using an outside contractor. Over half of the houses in Tuluksak are considered to be in fair-poor, poor or condemned condition, with the balance being acceptable. A quarter (26%) of the houses either have no bedrooms or one bedroom, 31% have two bedrooms with the balance of houses (43%) having three of four bedrooms. DNA.

Assoctates March 2001 e19 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 6.0 LAND USE PLAN This section of the Tuluksak Community Plan presents a Land Use Plan for the Village that will guide future development initiatives over the next 5 to 10 years. The Land Use Plan reflects community input and a vision for community growth, community development needs, and existing physical development constraints and opportunities. The land use vision and land use plan reflect current planning practice and acknowledge physical development constraints in the Village. Tuluksak is located on the south and east bank of the Tuluksak River near its junction with the Kuskokwim River. The Village is located approximately 35 miles northeast of Bethel. 6.1 EXISTING LAND USE Existing land uses in Tuluksak are generally represented in Figure 6.1. These land uses include the following: Residential: There are 3 existing residential areas with a total of 76 occupied houses: 1 The oldest residential area is generally located within the Moravian Lands in the western area of the Village on the bank above the Tuluksak River. There are approximately 21 houses located in this area. 2 There are approximately 40 houses located in the center of the Village to the east of the Airstrip corridor and to the west of the elementary and high schools. 3 The third residential area is located east of the high school towards the existing power plant. There are approximately 15 houses located in this area. Community Facilities: | There are a number of community facilities mainly located in the central area of the Village. Community facilities include: e High School e¢ Elementary School e Community/Bingo Hall e Tribal Office © Clinic e Store e Post Office e Power Plant e Washeteria/Water Treatment Plant ¢ Armoury e Headstart e Moravian Church e Village Store ¢ 2Cemeteries DNA. March 2001 °20 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 6.2 Community Infrastructure: Community infrastructure lands are currently occupied by the power house at the eastern end of the Village and the Village landfill which was upgraded in 2000 and is located south of the high school. A temporary sewage lagoon, located just east of the landfill, was also constructed in the Summer of 2000. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS Geology & Soils Conditions The village of Tuluksak lies on the south bank of the Tuluksak River near its confluence with the Kuskokwim River. The community is located on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, on a low terrace immediately adjacent to the Kuskokwim River floodplain. Soils generally consist of an organic layer about 1 foot thick overlaying a layer of silt with. Throughout much of the village, sand is encountered below the silt at a depth of about 5 —8 feet. This sand layer is absent in the older part of the village. Permafrost underlaying the village is discontinuous and where present, extends from a few feet below the ground to a depth of about 40 feet. Flood Hazards Tuluksak is subject to flooding, and can be covered with up to 4 feet of water in extreme flooding. The recommended minimum building floor elevation for the community is 105.9 feet, based on a predicted maximum high water level of 103.9 feet. This levels are posted on a marker located at the school. Steep Slopes In general, the Village of Tuluksak is relatively flat, typical of communities in the Yukon Kuskokwim River Delta. However, as indicated on Figure 6.1, the banks along the Tuluksak River are quite steep in several locations. The steepest slopes are located in the area between the Moravian Lands and the Tuluksak River. DNA. March 2001 e271 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 6.3 LAND USE PLAN GOALS The Land Use Plan has been developed to meet the following general goals: 1. To generally maintain the current mix of land uses and to identify additional areas for community facilities and future residential development. 2. To relocate the Airstrip to new location away from the Village core. 3. To use both developed and undeveloped land more efficiently to preserve the community’s land base including developing the lands north of the airstrip for residential purposes and farther into the future, redeveloping the airstrip with residential uses. 4. To preserve environmentally sensitive areas in the community by protecting them from inappropriate development and by retaining some areas in their natural state. 5. To endeavour to make the most efficient use of the community’s existing physical infrastructure systems. 6. To ensure that sufficient land is available to meet the community and economic development needs. 6.4 LAND USE PLAN A Land Use Plan for Tuluksak has been developed which meets the land use goals outlined above. The Land Use Plan is presented on Figure 6.1 on the following page. This Land Use Plan reflects very strong input from Village residents at the November 29, 2000 Community Meeting. In summary, the residents concluded that the undeveloped Moravian Lands north of the existing airstrip should be developed to meet Tuluksak’s significant housing need rather than developing lands much further away from the Village core. The Land Use Plan for Tuluksak incorporates the following land uses: e Residential e Future Residential e Community Facilities e Community Infrastructure e Protected Open Space e Future Development DNA Dovid Nelme «Ansocloten March 2001 © 22 TULUKSAK COMMUNITY PLAN LAND USE PLAN BOU8aO DNA David Nairne +Assoclates Project 3525 LEGEND R RESIDENTIAL FR FUTURE RESIDENTIAL CF COMMUNITY FACILITIES Cl COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE FD FUTURE DEVELOPMENT POS PROTECTED OPEN SPACE PaO tO SOHO et January 2001 FIGURE 6.1 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan Residential Land Uses - R The areas shown as R on the Land Use Plan include existing residential areas as well as the new Power Plant Road Subdivision which includes 4 constructed lots and 25 proposed lots. Development of the eastern most 7 lots is dependent upon the construction of a new power plant in an alternative location and the environmental clean- up of the existing power plant site. Future Residential Uses — FR There are two areas designated as FR on the Land Use Plan. The first area is located on the Moravian Lands is north of the existing airstrip. These lands are currently undeveloped as they are located within the flight path of the airstrip. These Future Residential lands cannot be developed until the Moravian lands have been transferred to the Village and a new airstrip has been constructed in a different location. A conceptual layout for the Moravian Lands Subdivision is presented in Figure 4.1. The second area incorporates the existing airstrip and lands on either side of the airstrip. Approximately 40 to 50 lots could be developed using the existing airstrip as the access road. Community Facilities - CF The areas shown as CF on the Land Use Plan incorporate all of Tuluksak’s existing community facilities as well as sufficient lands for new community facilities. The CF lands are centrally located in the Village and are easily accessible to the existing and future proposed residential development areas. Community Infrastructure - Cl The areas designated as Cl on the Land Use Plan include Tuluksak’s existing infrastructure such as the power plant, landfill and temporary sewage lagoon as well as the proposed locations for new community infrastructure projects including: e new power plant e new water treatment plant e new water storage tank e new sewage lagoon e new Village landfill DNA. March 2001 0°24 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan Protected Open Space - POS The Land Use Plan has identified several areas as POS that should remain protected from development. These lands should not be developed due to various constraints such as steep slopes, poor soils or flood hazards. Future Development The large Native Allotment located in the eastern portion of the Village has been designated as Future Development. The family who own this Native Allotment have indicated that they intend to use a small portion of the allotment to meet their own housing needs. The balance of the Native Allotment will likely remain undeveloped for the foreseeable future. DNA. March 2001 © 25 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 7.0 7.1 7.2 CAPITAL NEEDS ASSESSMENT The purpose of the capital needs assessment is two-fold: e to provide a description of the infrastructure which services the existing community, and e to aid in identifying capital projects required to address existing deficiencies or to meet the anticipated community development demands. COMMUNITY LAND BASE The Tuluksak Native Community wishes to address several outstanding land issues. The Council has approached the Moravian Church about acquiring the Church lands on which a large portion of the community is located on. The Church has agreed in principle to transfer the lands to the tribe, but wish to retain some of the land where Church facilities are located. Although some parts of the community have been surveyed, many of these surveys have not been recorded. Ultimately, in order to carry out several of the projects the community is planning, including implementing a piped water distribution system and sanitary sewer, and upgrading village roads, dedicated right-of-ways need to be defined. However, this work will be included in the scope of work for the roads and utilities projects. The Council is also anxious to have lands currently owned by the Native Corporation transferred to the Tribe to facilitate moving forward with several community development initiatives. Recommended Community Land Base Works e Survey Moravian lands and transfer ownership; e Transfer all Corporation lands to the Tribe AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT As shown on Figure 6.1, the Tuluksak Airstrip is located at the southwestern edge of the Village. The airstrip and its associated northern approach bisects the Village separating the original residential area from the main part of the Village. The current airstrip violates the Federal Aviation Administration siting and setback standards and Village residents are uncomfortable with the proximity of the airstrip and landing/takeoff approaches to existing housing and community facilities in the Village. The State of DNA. March 2001 © 26 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 7.3 Alaska has indicated that they would consider re-aligning the airstrip in a more north- south orientation along the prevailing wind direction. The State has suggested that this could be accomplished by “rotating” the airstrip using the same apron at the north end of the airstrip. This would not alleviate the residents concerns about the proximity of the airstrip to the Village nor the FAA airstrip siting violations. As a result of the land use planning process, the Village residents suggested that the airstrip be removed entirely and that a new airstrip be constructed further away from the Village. The removal of the airstrip would also allow the Council to develop the vacant Moravian Lands, alleviating a significant demand for new housing lots. The Council recently adopted Resolution 00-12-47 (see Appendix B) which calls for the relocation of the Tuluksak Native Community Airport to the south west side of the Village. Recommended Airport Relocation Works ¢ Complete a Feasibility/Site Selection Study e Complete a Master Plan; e Design Airstrip; e Construct Airstrip (multi-phased). SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT Based on the housing needs assessment completed in Section 3.0, it was determined that the IRA Council must develop a total of 61 new serviced residential lots to meet the ten year housing need. We recommend that the community construct 70 lots so that there is a sufficient supply of vacant lots to meet their housing needs beyond 10 years. The community now has 12 vacant serviced lots available for development. In 2000, a design was completed for an 11 lot subdivision to be located at the eastern end of the village near the power plant. In the fall of 2000, 4 of these lots were constructed. The subdivision can ultimately be expand to yield a total of 27 lots. However, four of these lots at the far eastern end should not be constructed until the power plant is relocated, due to their proximity to the power plant. The proposed relocation of the Village Airstrip will allow for the development of approximately 45 lots on land which is currently located on the Moravian Church lands. DNA -Amnociates March 2001 °27 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan Development of these new lots cannot proceed until a new airstrip has been constructed and the Moravian Lands have been transferred to the Village. Residential lot development at the Old Power Plant Road Subdivision and on the Moravian Church lands will meet the five year lot need requirements for the community. Once the existing airstrip has been “decommissioned”, new lots can be developed on either side of the old airstrip along its entire length. Approximately 50 lots could be constructed. This would provide enough lots to serve the community well beyond their 10 year needs. Recommended Subdivision Development Works e Construct 7 lots at Old Power Plant Road Subdivision; e Design and construct Old Power Plant Road Subdivision expansion (18 lots); e Design subdivision on Moravian Church lands (approximately 45 lots); e Construct Phase 1 of subdivision on Moravian Church lands (15 lots). 7.4 WATER SYSTEM The existing community water system was constructed in 1982. The system consists of a single drilled well and a water treatment plant and washeteria housed in the same building. A community watering point is available at the washeteria, from which residents self haul water to take to their homes. A piped water service is provided to the school from this system. Water treatment provided includes greensand filtration to remove iron and manganese and chlorination for disinfection. The washeteria has four washing machines, three clothes dryers, and shower facilities. Wastewater from the washeteria is discharged to a lagoon located to the south of the community. The facility is operational but is in need of repairs. It is now approximately 20 years old, and is only marginally adequate for the current size of the community, and it will soon not be able to meet the communhity’s needs. Because the plant is operated manually, considerable effort is needed to produce enough water to meet the needs of the community, the school and the washeteria. There is also a concern that because the well is relatively shallow, it may be subject to contamination from the pit bunkers in the village. DNA March 2001 David Naime. Associates Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan In 1995, a Sanitation Facilities Preliminary Engineering Study was completed for the community by Village Safe Water that looked at options for upgrading the community’s water, sewer, and solid waste facilities. The community was unsure at the completion of this study whether they preferred a piped or haul system for water distribution and sewage collection. Therefore, a supplement to this study was completed by CE2 Engineers, Inc. in December, 1999, which made a detailed comparison of both options. The study found that costs were approximately 20% higher for the piped system option. After consideration of the two options, the community selected the piped utilities option based on the increased customer convenience and greater health benefit. In addition to the piped distribution system, a new water source is required, which would consist of a primary and backup well, as well as a new water treatment plant and storage tank. A conceptual layout of the proposed system was prepared for the study. As the piped utility system will take many years to implement, it was proposed that initially interim improvements be made at the water treatment plant, so that the plant can continue to provide a minimal level of service until the piped system is implemented. The following recommended water system works are based on the phased development plan presented in the Preliminary Engineering Study Supplement, which notes that “it is almost certain that the phased development plan will change as the project takes shape; land ownership, land use and other community development issues will need to be resolved.” The following improvements only constitute the first five years of the implementation plan. It is estimated that it would take seven years to complete all the recommended improvements. Recommended Water Works e Design & construct interim modifications to the existing water treatment plant & washeteria; e Complete water source investigation; e Construct two community wells; e Design future phases of water system upgrading; e Construct water transmission line from well to water treatment plant; ¢ Construct water treatment plant with vehicle garage; ¢ Construct new water storage tank; ¢ Construct ph. 1 of distribution system, water services & house plumbing upgrades. DNA March 2001 David Nairne - Associates © 29 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 7.5 SEWAGE SYSTEM Tuluksak residents utilize approximately 75 honey bucket pits for sewage disposal. These pits are past capacity. As reported by residents and by the Environmental Health Officer, raw sewage seeps and flows out from these bunkers and creates a pollution and health hazard. Community-wide use of bunkers and pits for sewage disposal in Tuluksak is unsanitary. Inadequate sanitation services correlate to the incidence of endemic infectious and enteric diseases, and are the most probable cause of a Hepatitis A epidemic in the Y-K Delta area during the late 1980's. Tuluksak lies in a region of discontinuous permafrost, and many areas are free of permafrost. The shallow water table and type of soils raise the risk of microbiological contamination of the aquifer utilized by the community water system from the sewage. The school operates its own sewage lagoon located behind the school. Wastewater from the washeteria discharges to a small lagoon located close to and just south of the community. As discussed in the previous section, the community wishes to construct piped utilities. A gravity sanitary sewer system is proposed with treatment at a new two cell facultative lagoon. A conceptual layout of the collection system and lagoon system was prepared for the study. In order to address the more immediate need to address sewage collection and disposal, the community has implemented a limited honey bucket haul system. A temporary honey bucket disposal pit was constructed at the site of the village dump to accept wastes from this system. As the piped utility system will take many years to implement, it is proposed that initially a smaller honey bucket lagoon be constructed at the proposed lagoon site, which will eventually be expanded to a full size lagoon for the piped system, and that the pit bunkers be closed out and the honey bucket haul system be expanded to serve the entire community. The following recommended sewage disposal works is based on the phased development plan presented in the Preliminary Engineering Study Supplement, which notes that “it is almost certain that the phased development plan will change as the DNA. March 2001 30 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 7.6 7.7 project takes shape; land ownership, land use and other community development issues will need to be resolved.” The following improvements only constitute the first five years of the implementation plan. It is estimated that it would take seven years to complete all the recommended improvements. Recommended Sewage Disposal Works e¢ Expand honey bucket haul system; e Design and construct lagoon and lagoon access road; e Design future phases of sewage collection system; e Construct phase 1 of sewage collection system, including gravity main, manholes and 3 lift stations, sewer services, and house plumbing; e Construct forcemain to lagoon. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL Solid waste is currently disposed of at a dump located to the south of the community adjacent to the washeteria lagoon. Both facilities are located very close to the community and the community has wanted them to be relocated. The community has made some improvements in the past to the dump, including installing a fence and completing a major cleanup. However, the facility does not meet standards for landfills and should be closed and a new facility constructed further from the village. The sanitation facilities upgrading plan completed in the Preliminary Engineering Report Supplement suggests constructing a new landfill and access road in year 6 and closing out the old landfill in year 7. These projects will not be included in the 5 year Capital Plan, but are considered to be a high priority for the community. TRANSPORTATION Existing roads in the community of Tuluksak are generally constructed of silt and sands and are generally useable by trucks and 4-wheelers most of the time. During spring and in heavy rains, poor drainage causes severe ponding leading to rutting, making the roads impassable at some times. No dedicated right-of-ways or utility corridors exist for the existing roads, except for the 1982 AVCP subdivision. However, this survey has not yet been recorded. There are DNA. March 2001 e31 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan also several pathways that have developed in the community and a limited boardwalk system. Through a BIA Transportation Planning grant, the community recently completed a Long Range Transportation Plan, which includes a transportation inventory, needs assessment, and identification and prioritization of transportation system upgrading projects. It is anticipated that the majority, if not all, the roads in Tuluksak will require upgrading, and that drainage improvements will be required as well as the construction of new roads to future development areas. The Transportation Plan also recommends that approximately 1,600 feet of boardwalk throughout the Village be replaced. Access to the river and the barge landing will also be addressed in the transportation plan. Due to lower water levels, access by barge to the fuel storage tanks near the old power plant is becoming increasingly difficult. This issue is also addressed in the transportation plan, as well as in the new power plant project. Finally, the Community is anxious to upgrade an existing access trail to Nyac which is located approximately 33 miles east of Tuluksak. Nyac is the site of an abandoned mine that is within the subsistence and traditional territory of Tuluksak. An upgraded trail into a road will allow better access to the Nyac area including access to gravel resources in the Nyac area.

The IRA Council has a grant to design and construct a new power plant. The new power plant will be relocated near the washeteria lagoon, in order to be more central in the community, so that waste heat recovery systems can be utilized.

COMMUNITY FACILITIES As discussed in Section 2.0, the following community facilities were most commonly identified as requiring upgrading: e washeteria e post office e school e community/bingo hall e health clinic In addition to upgrading these facilities, the community identified a need for a repair shop/public works building, and youth and elder’s center. It is proposed that a garage be constructed with the water treatment plant which would serve as a repair shop/public DNA March 2001 © 34 Tuluksak Native Community Tuluksak Community Plan 7.14 works facility. It is also proposed that once the new water treatment plant and water system is constructed, that the old washeteria/water treatment plant be converted to serve as a potential new multi-purpose community facility. This building will become available when the washeteria is no longer completed, which is essentially when the entire community is served by the new water system. However, once the new water treatment plant is constructed and a water service is provided to the building, the water treatment side of the building can be renovated. This would take place in Year 4 of the proposed water upgrading program. The water system would be complete in Year 6 of the upgrading program, at which time the washeteria portion of the building would be available for renovations. A new elders and youth center, post office, and tribal office are also proposed for the five year capital plan. Construction of an addition to the existing tribal office is currently underway. Recommended Community Facilities e complete tribal office addition; e design and construct new post office; e design and construct new elders and youth center; and e design and construct new tribal office. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Tuluksak wishes to increase their self-sufficiency and generate employment and income through community based economic development ventures. There are some employment opportunities in the community in village administration, education, health care, at the store, and operating the power plant, school and water system. Interest has been expressed in developing a small café and arts and crafts store. There has also been interest expressed in the past to construct and operate a small sawmill. Both ideas should be explored in more detail through a feasibility study.

It proves a decision-making tool to assist Tuluksak to allocate limited financial resources to best meet the community’s needs; and 2. It serves as a valuable tool to define overall capital needs and facilitates negotiations to secure adequate needs-based funding. The focus of the Capital Plan is on meeting the housing, infrastructure, community facility and economic development needs of the community. The Tuluksak Capital Plan was prepared in close consultation with the IRA Council, Staff and the Community and is a reflection of their combined efforts and input. The Capital Plan is presented on Table 8.1. Capital Projects have been broken down into four areas: e Infrastructure; e Housing; e Community Facilities; and e Economic Development The Capital Plan contains a list of capital projects required to meet the community’s community development needs over the next five years. The Capital Plan contains the following information: e Each capital project has a two-letter code to identify the projects: - IN Infrastructure - HS Housing - CF Community Facilities - EC Economic Development e Each project has been given a number. Similar projects are usually grouped together according to the same first number, with the second number referring to the phase of the project, e.g., IN 2.1 is the second infrastructure project, phase 1.

Description IN 1.1: Transfer Moravian and Corporation Lands to Tribe. Remarks The Tuluksak Native Community wishes to address outstanding land issues. The Council has approached the Moravian Church about acquiring the Church lands on which a large portion of the community is located. The Church has agreed in principle to transfer the lands to the tribe, but wish to retain some of the land where Church facilities are located. The Tribe is also anxious to transfer Corporation lands to the Tribe to better enable the Tribe to develop a number of community residential initiatives. Prerequisite The Moravian Church must sign over the Moravian Lands Estimated Cost The estimated cost, in constant 2001 dollars to transfer the Moravian Lands is $15,000.

Description IN 2.1: Airport Feasibility & Site Selection IN 2.2: Airport Master Plan IN 2.3: Design new airport. IN 2.4: Construct new airport (over three years) Remarks As a result of the land use planning process, the Village residents suggested that the airstrip be removed entirely and that a new airstrip be constructed further away from the Village. The removal of the airstrip would allow the Council to develop the vacant Moravian Lands, alleviating a significant demand for new housing lots. The Council recently adopted Resolution 00-12-47 (see Appendix B) which calls for the relocation of the Tuluksak Native Community Airport to the south west side of the Village. Prerequisite Sufficient land to provide adequate safety zone for new airstrip. Estimated Cost The estimated costs, in constant 2001 dollars are as follows: Feasibility & Site Selection $30,000 Planning $40,000 Design $100,000 Construction $2,400,000 Total $2,570,000 PROJECT # DESCRIPTION COST LIN 2.1 Airport Feasibility & Site Selection $30,000 IN 2.2 Airport Master Plan $40,000 IN 2.3 Design new airport $100,000 IN 2.4 Construct new airport (over three years) $2,400,000 — March 2001 Project #: IN 3.1, IN 3.2 and IN 3.3 Function: Tuluksak Residential Development Description: Design & Construct Old Power Plant Road Residential Subdivision (24 Lots) Objectives To develop residential lots to meet the Tuluksak Native Community’s estimated 10 year housing and lot needs. Description IN 3.1: Construct seven lots at Old Power Plant Subdivision. IN 3.2: Design phase 2 seventeen lots Old Power Plant Subdivision Expansion. IN 3.3: Construct phase 2 seventeen lots Old Power Plant Subdivision Expansion. Remarks Subdivision development costs include the cost to construct roads and house lot pads. In 2000, a design was completed for an 11 lot subdivision to be located at the eastern end of the village near the power plant. In the fall of 2000, 4 of these lots were constructed. The subdivision can ultimately be expanded to yield a total of 27 lots. However, four of these lots at the far eastern end should not be constructed until the power plant is relocated, due to their proximity to the power plant. Prerequisite None.

Description IN 3.4: Design Subdivision on Moravian Lands (+/- 45 lots). IN 3.5: Construct phase 1 of Subdivision on Moravian Lands (15 lots). Remarks Subdivision development costs include the cost to construct roads and house lot pads. The proposed relocation of the Village Airstrip will allow for the development of approximately 45 lots on land which is currently located on the Moravian Church lands. Development of these new lots cannot proceed until a new airstrip has been constructed and the Moravian Lands have been transferred to the Village.

Description IN 4.1: Design and construct interim Water Treatment Plant/Washeteria modifications. Remarks The Washeteria has four washing machines, three clothes dryers, and shower facilities. The facility is operational but is in need of repairs. It is now approximately 20 years old, and is only marginally adequate for the current size of the community, and it will soon not be able to meet the community’s needs. Because the plant is operated manually, considerable effort is needed to produce enough water to meet the needs of the community, the school and the Washeteria. There is also a concern that because the well is relatively shallow, it may be subject to contamination from the pit bunkers in the village. As the piped utility system will take many years to implement, it was proposed that initially interim improvements be made at the water treatment plant, so that the plant can continue to provide a minimal level of service until the piped system is implemented. Prerequisite None. Estimated Cost An allowance of $125,000 in constant 2001 dollars is estimated for the design and construction of the modifications.

Remarks The preceding capital projects for the water system works are based on the phased development plan presented in the Preliminary Engineering Study Supplement, which notes that “it is almost certain that the phased development plan will change as the project takes shape; land ownership, land use and other community development issues will need to be resolved.” The preceding capital projects only constitute the first five years of the implementation plan. It is estimated that it would take seven years to completed all the recommended improvements.

Description IN 5.1: Expansion of the current community honey bucket haul system. Remarks In order to address the more immediate need to address sewage collection and disposal, the community has implemented a limited honey bucket haul system. A temporary honey bucket disposal pit was constructed at the site of the village dump to accept wastes from this system. As the piped utility system will take many years to implement, it is proposed that initially a smaller honey bucket lagoon be constructed at the proposed lagoon site, which will eventually be expanded to a full size lagoon for the piped system, and that the pit bunkers be closed out and the honey bucket haul system be expanded to serve the entire community. Prerequisite None. Estimated Cost An allowance of $200,000, in constant 2001 dollars, is estimated for the expansion.

Description IN 6.5: Design Barge Landing Upgrades. IN 6.6: Construct Barge Landing Upgrades. IN 6.7: Feasibility Study — Nyac Road Upgrading Remarks Currently there are 3 barge landings used to offload fuel. Due to upstream activity the Tuluksak River has become shallow and silty. Because of this the two upstream most barge landings will be decommissioned and the southern most barge landing will be upgraded to act as the Village’s primary fuel landing. To facilitate heavy cargo a new barge landing is needed at the confluence of the Tuluksak and Kuskokwim Rivers. An access road needs to be constructed to the new landing and a right-of-way established through the native allotments along the west bank of the Tuluksak River (this road can also act as partial access to the relocated airstrip). The Tribe is anxious to upgrade the original mining access road to Nyac to facilitate better access for community members for subsistence activities and to access existing gravel resources at Nyac. The road is approximately 33 miles in length. The Feasibility Study would confirm the optimum routing and identify the works required to upgrade the road. Prerequisite None.
