Use additional pages if necessary.) The project will consist of a new bulk fuel facility for the Utility (AVEC), the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD), the City and Corporation. Retail sales for the community will be made available through dispenser facilities also. Additionally, a new power plant will be constructed along with three wind generation towers and units. An intertie between Toksook Bay and Tununak will be constructed to share the availability of diesel and wind generation located in Toksook Bay. Additional detail concerning each of the components is included within the Project Summary in the DGC Coastal Project Questionnaire and Certification Statement. Purpose and Need (Provide an explanation of the problems completion of the proposed project is intended to address.) The existing power plant and community fuel facilities do not meet current life, health, and safety codes, and poses a risk to public safety and the environment. A new fill pipeline is required to provide a permanent solution for providing fuel from the Pacific Ocean/ Kangirlvar Bay to the new power plant and community fuel facility. The school facilities will also be upgraded for the elementary and high school. Security fencing to enclose the tank farm and power plant is essential to public safety. An intertie between the communities of Toksook Bay & Tununak will allow for a sharing of the diesel and wind generation for both communities. It will also decrease the need for duplicate reserve capacity within both communities. The facility is designed to meet the long-term fuel storage and handling needs of both communities and the utility along with future electrical generation. Project Alternatives: (Provide a brief description of possible alternatives to the proposed project, including a description of the impact if no action were taken.) There are no practicable alternatives to this project. A code compliant and reliable fuel storage and handling facility is requisite to support essential electric power generation for community facilities, infrastructure, and residential use. Consequences of not implementing the project include: continued increased risk to public safety and the environment from spills, fines for non-compliant fuel facilities, and potential for denial of necessary fuel deliveries by fuel companies. Attach (if available) a community map showing the project location, a drawing describing the proposed project, and photographs of the existing site and surrounding properties Refer to Corps of Engineers Request for Jurisdictional Determination included in the Flood Plain/Wetlands section of this Environmental Review Record.

This includes agency consultations and other references. Social / Economic Economic Impacts The project will reduce the likelihood of fines for non-code compliant fuel facilities/operations. Short-term benefits include: increased local employment and use of local services and retail outlets during construction. Long-term economic benefits include: code compliant fuel storage and handling facility to support electric generation for community infrastructure and residential use. A new, code compliant facility will reduce operations and maintenance costs, and help reduce the cost of electricity to residents and business. The project is planned to facilitate estimated population growth D hi hareateristc and infrastructure development beyond the next 10 years. Characteristics and Changes The Existing fuel storage and handling system does not meet code. Replacement of the existing facility with a code-compliant facility will improve fuel storage capacity and handling, as well as spill and fire safety. The facility will provide reliable, long-term, code compliant fuel storage for community electrical generation. Community Facilities, Services, or Safety Displacements There will be no displacements caused by the project. The project is designed to comply with state and federal codes and environmental regulations. The result of this project will be to reduce potential negative impacts to human health and the environment of minority and low-income persons, as well as to help provide reliable electrical generation to all persons in the community.

I XH ATTN: CEPOA-CO-R-N — ay, <@ U.S. Army Corp of Engineers PO Box 6898 ‘Anchorage, Alaska 99506-6898 Subject: AVEC — Toksook Bay — Wind Generation Site Dear Ms. Leykom: Arctic Pacific Enterprises is working on behalf of the AVEG in the Community of Toksook Bay to complete the installation of a minimum of four(4) and up to as many as seven(7) wind generators. : 1. Vicinity Map & Legal Description: ‘ Please reference the design drawings for the vicinity map: The tank farm will be located at Sec. 17, TOO5N, RO9OW, Seward Meridian {USGS Quad — Inunivak Island C-1). } 2. Location & Vicinity and Plan Views of the project area: ; 1 See Drawings 1 and 2 (Appendix A) of the proposed wind farm. 3. Aerial Photographs: See Appendix B for photographs of the area. 4. Description of the Work: Toksook Bay is in a high value area with a class 7 wind ‘regime for wind power generation. It is estimated that one Atlantic Orient Corporation(AOC) AOC 15/50 machine in Toksook Bay could produce approximately: 200,000 kwh per year. Presently, the proposed project is evaluating the installation of four (4) and up to seven (7) machines in Toksook Bay, which relate to displacing diesel generation between 800,000 kwh and 1,400,000 kwh per year respectively. Based upon an anticipated diesel efficiency of approximately 13:5 kwh!per gallon; the potential displacement is approximately 59,000 gallons for the four machine configuration and 103,700 gallons for the seven machine configuration. - P.O. Box 242912 2702 Gambell Street, Suite 101 Anchorage, Alaska 99524-2912 Oa le PAPI E Telephone: (907) 277-6409/6426 Facsimile: (907) 277-6443 = {AVEC — Toksook Bay — Wind Generation Site July 28, 2008 , - Page 2 : : - .: The towers would be approximately 80 feet high with three blades: ‘The designation AOC 15/50 stands for the 15 meter diameter blades and the 50-kw output of the generating units. So at four units, the maximum output would be approximately 200 kw and at seven units the proposed development could potentially generate approximately 350 kw. Please reference Appendix C for additional information on the AOC 15/50. 5. Project Purpose: To construct four to seven wind generation units which will connect into the existing distribution system in order to supplement the power requirements in Toksook Bay and possibly Tununak. The project will result in a wind/ diesel hybrid generation system which will decrease the overall diesel emission in the area. The State of Alaska FY 2002 PCE report indicates the average cost of fuel used in Toksook Bay to be approximately $1.26 per gallon. Based upon that costs andthe - above savings in fuel used, it would relate to $74,340 (4 machines) or $130,660 (7 machines) in fuel savings per year. In addition, fuel costs have been increasing and ~ consequently the potential could be even greater in future years. Besides the financial savings, it would also improve the air quality since the diesel generators would have decreased emissions to the atmosphere. The wind turbines would offer a much needed source of renewable electrical energy to Toksook Bay and potentially to Tununak (assuming they are interconnected). It - would also decrease their dependency upon diesel fuel, which is’ difficult and expensive to deliver. Now that wind turbines are available, which can withstand the harsh conditions of the arctic environments, they can be a cost-effective choice for isolated communities. Wind turbines in combination with diesel generation offer these two communities a way to reduce their dependence on diesel fuel and cut their electrical costs. Typically rural Alaskan community electrical costs can be many times the residential electrical cost for Anchorage or Fairbanks. : 6. Dimensions of Fill Pads: The towers would be placed on pile foundations which would not require any fill. However, there would need to be an access road constructed to the site from the existing dump road. The proposed road would be approximately 1000 feet long, 16 feet wide and require approximately 3 feet of fill. This works out to just under 2,000 cubic yards of material to be placed and an area of approximately 16,000 square feet. . : 7. Acreage and Amount of Fill: : The area to be filled will be approximately 0.37 Acres and about 2,000 cubic yards of fill is proposed to be place to form the roadway. 8. Volume and type of Material removed: There is no brush or trees to clear the area of. The road willbe constructed by placing geofabric over the tundra and then placing the fill over it to develop the road JKVEC —Toksook Bay - Wind Generation Site , duly 28, 2003 - Page3 to the site. The wind towers will be placed on piling which will be driven to refusal as illustrated on the drawings. 9. Location of Overburden Disposal: Since there will not be any scraping off of the over burden, there will not be any need for a disposal location. 10. Type of Fill Material, Location, and Source: - The Alaska Department of Public Transportation (ADOT&PF) presently has a contractor constructing a new runway in the community. The contractor is utilizing a gravel pit located approximately 1 mile from the project site. . There are ample materials available to provide the necessary fill to construct the road to the wind site. 41. Stabilization and restoration methods: The local gravel will be utilized as the base for the road. This will establish a solid - base that should be resistant to erosion. If necessary, culverts will be placed in the roadway to channel the flow of water away from the the wind generation site and the roadway. Additionally, those areas that may be disturbed will be re-seeded and new grass will be established to allow for stabilization of those areas. : 42. A Description of Alternative Locations & Justification of Discharge / Removal of Materials from a Wet Lands: Three different locations adjacent or within the community were reviewed. Discussion with the community at a City public meeting resulted in the community selecting the proposed site from the other two possible alternatives. The one of the other proposed sites was too close to the new airport and the other alternative was located within the adjacent Yukon Delta Wildlife. Refuge. Neither. of these alternatives provided the advantages that the proposed site presents. 13. A Plan to Avoid or Minimize Disturbance to Wet Lands & Any Plan for Re- Vegetation: We have minimized the width of the road down from the originally proposed 24 feet to the 16 foot width. This will decrease the foot print and the amount of fill necessary to be placed.

No.: AK 0304-08AA AFFECTED COASTAL RESOURCE DISTRICT: Cenaliuriit . PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF THE PROJECT SUBJECT TO REVIEW: The project subject to this consistency review is a consolidated bulk fuel tank farm and dispensing facility. This facility would house bulk fuel tanks, in a code compliant storage facility, for the City, AVEC, the Lower Kuskokwim School District and Nunakauiak Yupik Corporation. The project would require the placement of 28,925 cubic yards of foundation fill material into 3.39 acres of wetland to construct the tankfarm pad and new road. CONSISTENCY STATEMENT: The State of Alaska proposes to concur with the consistency certification submitted by Percy Frisby, CEO, Arctic Pacific Enterprises, LLC for the City.of- .. Toksook Bay and Alaska Village Electric Cooperative. : AUTHORIZATIONS: The project must be found consistent with the ACMP before the following State and Federal authorizations may be issued: , . U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit No. 4-2003-0241 The Department of Environmental Conservation advised OPMP on March 26, 2003 that they intend to waive the Certification of Reasonable Assurance under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for this project. Agencies will issue permits and authorizations only if they find the proposed project complies with their statutes and regulations in addition to being consistent with the coastal program. An agency permit or authorization may be denied even though the State concurs with the ACMP. Authorities outside the ACMP may result in additional pemmit/lease conditions. If a requirement set out in the project description (per 6AAC 50.265) is more or less restrictive than a similar requirement in a resource agency authorization, the applicant shall comply with the more restrictive requirement. Applicants may not use any State land or water without DNR authorization. FINAL CONSISTENCY RESPONSE PAGE3 APPEAL: This final consistency response is a final administrative order and decision under the ACMP and for purposes of Alaska Appellate Rules 601-612. Any appeal from this decision to the superior court of Alaska must be made within thirty (30) days of the date this determination is issued. ENFORCEMENT: Pursuant to 6 AAC 50.485(e), if after receiving this final consistency response, the applicant undertakes a project modification not incorporated into the final determination and ~ not reviewed under 6 AAC 50.800-6 AAC 50.820, State‘resource agency may take enforcement action according to the resource agency’s statutory and regulatory authorities, priorities, available resources, and preferred methods. ADVISORIES: The proposed barge landings will be taking place on state-owned tidelands. Applicant is advised that its proposed barge landing site is located on or near a barge landing site for which the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOTPF) holds a permit.

The facility would house fuel tanks, in a code compliant storage facility, for the City of Toksook Bay, Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC), the Lower Kuskokwim School District and Nunakauiak Yupik Corporation. The location would be in Section 17, T. 5 N., R. 90 W., Seward Meridian at Latitude 60°31’47” W., Longitude 165°06'08” W. Enclosed are two unsigned copies of a “PROVISIONAL PERMIT.” The provisional permit is NOT VALID and does not authorize you to do your work. The provisional permit describes the work that will be authorized, and the General and Special Conditions (if any) which will be placed on your final Department of the Army (DA) permit, if the State of Alaska Coastal Zone Management (CZM) consistency requirements are satisfied as described below. No work is to be performed in the waterway or adjacent wetlands until you have received a validated copy of the DA permit. Additionally, we have enclosed a Notification of Administrative Appeals Options and Process and Request for Appeal form regarding this DA Permit (see section labeled “Initial Proffered Permit”). By Federal law no DA permit can be issued until a State Section 401 Water Quality Certification has been issued or has been waived and/or the State has concurred with a permit applicant's CZM consistency determination or concurrence has been presumed. The State waived 401 Certification on March 26, 2003. As of this date the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Office of Project Management/Permitting (DNR), has not concurred with your CZM consistency determination. If DNR neither concurs nor provides written objections to the certification statement by September 20, 2003, then concurrence with your CZM consistency determination may be presumed. Should the State's action on the required concurrence preclude validation of the provisional permit in its current form, a modification to the provisional permit will be evaluated and you will be notified as appropriate. Substantial changes may require a new permit evaluation process, including issuing a new public notice. Once the State has concurred with your CZM consistency determination or the date above has passed without the State acting, and you agree to the terms and conditions of the provisional permit, you should sign and date both copies and return them to us. Your DA permit will not be valid until we have returned a copy to you bearing both your signature and the signature of the appropriate Corps official. If the State does not concur with your CZM consistency determination, then the DA permit application file will be closed. If you should subsequently obtain a CZM consistency determination concurrence, you should contact this office to determine how to proceed with your permit application. If you have any questions concerning your CZM consistency determination, please contact the DNR at the Office of Project Management/Permitting, 411 W. 4% avenue, Suite 2C, Anchorage, AK 99501 or by calling (907) 257-1351.

City of Toksook Bay, LKSD & NYC — Bulk Fuel Storage Facilities General Permit 96-07 Dear Ms. Leykom: Arctic Pacific Enterprises is working on behalf of the Community of Toksook Bay to complete a bulk fuel facilities for the City of Toksook Bay, Lower Kuskokwim School District(LKSD), and the Nunakauik Yupik Corporation (NYC). In an effort to design and construct those facilities we are applying on behalf of the City of Toksook Bay for a permit as referenced above. Per the general permit requirements we are submitting the following information and attached design drawings: 1. Vicinity Map & legal Description: Please reference the design drawings for the vicinity map. The tank farm will be located at Sec. 17, TOO5N, RO9O0W, Seward Meridian (USGS Quad — Inunivak Island C-1). 2. Plan Views and Typical Cross-Sections: See Drawings 1 and 2 for the plan and-cross-section views. (Appendix A) of the tank farm and associated structures. - 3. Aerial Photographs: . , / See Appendix C for FAA 1996 aerial photo of the area. 4. Description of the Work: To construct a code compliant bulk fuel and dispensing facilities. These facilities will support Toksook Bay fuel needs. The project will consist of eleven bulk fuel tanks, two dispensing tanks, and space for a future tank. P.O. Box 242912 2702 Gambell Street, Suite 101 Anchorage, Alaska 99524-2912 Telephone: (907) 277-6409/6426 Facsimile: (907) 277-6443 Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 4, 2003 General Permit 96-07 — 5. Project Purpose: © To construct a new bulk fuel facility to current codes and standards which would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety and shortage risks associated with the existing gasoline and diesel storage. The new facility would consolidate all of Toksook Bay’s bulk fuel storage and provide for code compliant dispensing facilities for both communities. 6. Dimensions of Fill Pads:- The following are approximate dimension for the respective pads. Please reference the drawings and cross sections to obtain more exact dimensions. The “H” depth of fill will vary across the pad due to the terrain so we have provided below an average value for this variable. Tank Farm and Dispensing Area: L = 215 ft, W = 158 ft, H = 10 ft. Roadway Area: _ L= 560. ft, W= 31ft.,H = 3-ft 7. Acreage and Amount of Fill: The area to be filled will be approximately 1.69 Acres and about 14,100 cubic yards of fill. 8. Volume and type of Material removed: There is no brush or trees to clear the area of. The geotechnical report indicates that there is approximately 1 to 2 feet of organics which should be removed. These organics will be scraped off of the site and a portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. The amount of overburden is expected to be approximately 4,750 cubic yards. 9. Location of Overburden Disposal: A portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. 10. Type of Fill Material, Location, and Source: The Alaska Department of Public Transportation (ADOT&PF) presently.has a contractor constructing a new runway in the community. The contractor is utilizing a gravel pit located approximately 1 mile from the project site. There are ample materials available to provide the necessary fill to construct the various pads and road segments around the tank farm. See Appendix B, which shows the fill material. Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 4, 2003 General Permit 96-07 . 11. Stabilization and restoration methods: ; The local gravel will be utilized as the base for the pads and road. This will establish a solid base that should be resistant to erosion. The stripped organics will be utilized to assist in stabilizing the side slopes and allow for re- vegetation. Any excess organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. If necessary, culverts will be placed in the roadway to channel the flow of water away from the tank farm pads and the roadway Additionally, those areas that may be disturbed will be re-seeded and new grass will be established to allow for stabilization of those areas. 12. A Description of Alternative Locations & Justification of: Discharge / Removal of Materials from a Wet Lands: A number of different locations have been studied over the past four or five years. The conclusion of all that research, and coordination with the community has resulted in the presently selected site. The only materials which are expected to be removed from the Wet Lands, would be the overburden. | It will be handled as discussed above. We expect to discharge approximately 14,100 cubic yards into the area, which will allow for a code compliant bulk fuel facility to be constructed. Presently none of the fuel facilities are in compliance and there continues to be a problem with the transfer of fuels. This new facility will eliminate the poor conditions that presently exist at the expense of discharging fill into these wet lands. 13. A Plan to Avoid or Minimize Disturbance to Wet Lands & Any Plan for Re- Vegetation: We will minimize the size of the pads where possible. Where there are disturbances and around the sides of the pads will be landscaped with previously removed organics and we will re-seed the area to encourage the vegetation to grow back and stabilize the area. 14.

In an effort to design and construct those facilities we are applying on behalf of AVEC for a permit as referenced above. Per the general permit requirements we are submitting the following information and attached design drawings: 1. Vicinity Map & Legal Description: Please reference the design drawings for the vicinity map. The tank farm will be located at Sec. 17, TOO5N, ROQOW, Seward Meridian (USGS Quad — Inunivak Island C-1). 2. Plan Views and Typical Cross-Sections: See Drawings 1 and 2 for the plan and cross-section views (Appendix A) of the tank farm and associated structures. 3. Aerial Photographs: See Appendix C for FAA 1996 aerial photo of the area. 4. Description of the Work: To construct a code compliant bulk fuel. These facilities will support AVEC’s fuel needs. The project will consist of twelve bulk fuel tanks and provisions for two additional tanks in the future. P.O, Box 242912 2702 Gambell Street, Suite 101 Anchorage, Alaska 99524-2912 Telephone: (907) 277-6409/6426 Facsimile: (907) 277-6443 AVEC — Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 3, 2003 General Permit 96-07 : 5. Project Purpose: To construct:a new bulk fuel facility to current codes and standards which would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety and shortage risks associated with the existing diesel storage. The new facility would consolidate all bulk fuel storage in one central location and provide for code compliant for the electrical generating plant. 6. Dimensions of Fill Pads: The following are approximate dimension for the respective pads. Please reference the-drawings and cross sections to obtain more exact dimensions. The “H” depth of fill will vary across the pad due to the terrain so we have provided below an average value for this variable. Tank Farm Area: L = 280 ft, W = 137 ft, H = 9 ft. Roadway Area: L = 430 ft, W= 31 ft, H=3 ft 7. Acreage and Amount of Fill: The area to be filled will be approximately 1.70 Acres and about 14,825 cubic yards of fill is proposed to be place to form the pad and roadways. 8. Volume and type of Material removed: There is no brush or trees to clear the area of. The geotechnical report indicates that there is approximately 1 to 2 feet of organics which should be removed. These organics will be scraped off of the site and a portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad and road areas while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. The amount of overburden is expected to be approximately 4,750 cubic yards. 9. Location of Overburden Disposal: A portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. 10. Type of Fill Material, Location, and Source: The Alaska Department of Public Transportation (ADOT&PF) presently has a contractor constructing a new runway in the community. The contractor is utilizing a gravel pit located approximately 1 mile from the project site. There are ample materials available to provide the necessary fill to construct the various pads and road segments around the tank farm. See Appendix B, which shows the fill material. AVEC - Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 3, 2003 General Permit 96-07 11. Stabilization and restoration methods: The local gravel will be utilized as the base for the pads and road. This will establish a solid base that should be resistant to erosion. The stripped organics will be utilized to assist in stabilizing the side slopes and allow for re- vegetation. Any excess organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. If necessary, culverts will be placed in the roadway to channel the flow of water away from the tank farm pads and the roadway Additionally, those areas that may be disturbed will be re-seeded and new grass will be established to allow for stabilization of those areas. 42. A Description of Alternative Locations & Justification of Discharge / Removal of Materials from a Wet Lands: A number of different locations have been studied over the past four or five years. The conclusion of all that research and coordination with the community resulted in the presently selected site. The only materials which are expected to be removed from the Wet Lands would be the overburden. It will be handled as discussed above. We expect to discharge approximately 14,825 cubic yards into the area, which will allow for a code compliant bulk fuel facility to be constructed. Presently none of the fuel facilities are in strict compliance and there continues to be a problem with the transfer of fuels. This new facility will eliminate the poor conditions that presently exist at the expense of discharging fill into these wet lands. 13. A Plan to Avoid or Minimize Disturbance to Wet Lands & Any Plan for Re- Vegetation: : We will minimize the size of the pads where possible. Where there are disturbances and around the sides of the pads will be landscaped with previously removed organics and we will re-seed the area to encourage the vegetation to grow back and stabilize the area. 14.

Project Summary 2. Drawings 3. Photos 4. AOC 15/50 Wind Turbine Generator - Information Revised 1/99 Page 9 PROJECT SUMMARY Toksook Bay is in a high value area with a class 7 wind regime for wind power generation. It is estimated that one Atlantic Orient Corporation(AOC) AOC 15/50 machine in Toksook Bay could produce approximately 200,000 kwh per year. Presently, the proposed project is evaluating the installation of four (4) and up to seven (7) machines in Toksook Bay, which relate to displacing diesel generation between 800,000 kwh and 1,400,000 kwh per year respectively. Based upon an anticipated diesel efficiency of approximately 13.5 kwh per gallon; the potential displacement is approximately 59,000 gallons for the four machine configuration and 103,700 gallons for the seven machine configuration. The towers would be approximately 80 feet high with three blades. The designation AOC 15/50 stands for the 15 meter diameter blades and the 50 kw output of the generating units. So at four units, the maximum output would be approximately 200 kw and at seven units the proposed development could potentially generate approximately 350 kw. Please reference the attached AOC1 5/50 Wind Turbine Generator Information for additional details on these units. , A short roadway would be constructed from the existing road (which runs to the City’s Land Fill) approximately 1,000 feet to the generating units. Each of the towers will be anchored via piling, which will be driven into the ground for the required foundations. The State of Alaska FY 2002 PCE report indicates the average cost of fuel used in Toksook Bay to be approximately $1.26 per gallon. Based upon that costs and the above savings in fuel used, it would relate to $74,340 (4 machines) or $130,660 (7 machines) in fuel savings per year. In addition, fuel costs have been increasing, consequently the potential could be even greater in future years. Besides the financial savings, it would also improve the air quality since the diesel generators ‘ would have decreased emissions to the atmosphere. : The wind turbines would offer a much needed source of renewable electrical energy to Toksook Bay and potentially to Tununak (assuming they are interconnected). It would also decrease their dependency upon diesel fuel, which is difficult and expensive to deliver. Now that wind turbines are available, which can withstand the harsh conditions of the arctic environments, they can be a cost-effective choice for isolated communities. Wind turbines in combination with diesel generation offer these two communities a way to reduce their dependence on diesel fuel and cut their electrical’'costs. Typically rural Alaskan community electrical costs can be many times the residential electrical cost for Anchorage or Fairbanks. Drawings o x Oo O e) x O Ee ORIGIN. ma xe Sheet 4 of *) mae . Us.

General Permit — GP - 96-07 for the City LKSD - NYC Bulk Fuel Tank Farm Revised 1/99 Page 9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Village of Toksook Bay is located on Nelson Island about 115 miles west of Bethel, Alaska. The population of Toksook Bay is 532. Toksook Bay is considered a2™ class city, and is over 95% Alaska Native or part Native. In Toksook Bay, water is derived from a well and infiltration gallery, is treated and stored in a 212,000-gallon tank, then piped throughout the community. A gravity piped sewer system also serves most households. Most occupied homes have complete plumbing. The City collects refuse and maintains the landfill. The traditional council operates the washeteria. There are 2 schools located in Toksook Bay, attended by 180 students. Toksook Bay Health Clinic provides medical services. There are several bulk fuel storage sites in the village of Toksook Bay. They include those maintained by retail vendors, the schools, the city, and the electric power co-op. The sites are generally non-compliant with fire, safety, and environmental regulations. Management of the sites is not uniformly diligent, and deterioration of the facilities ranges from nil to severe. Further, they are marginally sized, and the risk of a fuel shortage in winter is always real. Bulk fuel is delivered by barge in the summer months. The bulk fuel storage tanks are filled with an above ground barge-offloading pipeline. The high school tank farm is supplied fuel by a fuel truck that is carried by the barge to the community. The participants in the proposed fuel system upgrades include: City of Toksook Bay (City) Nunakauiak Yupik Corporation (NYC) Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AVEC) The construction of a new bulk fuel storage facility to current codes and standards would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety, and shortage risk. The new facility would displace all of the present sites, and consolidate it into one manageable facility. Each entity, the City, LKSD, NYC, and AVEC, would have a section cordoned off within the larger facility. Retail and bulk fuel transfer stations would also be constructed. The responsibility of retiring the existing facilities will be assumed by others. The Conceptual Design for the consolidated tank farm has a total capacity of approximately 507,000 gallons for Toksook Bay power generation only (615,000 gallons for Toksook Bay and Tununak) with the potential of installing a several future 27,000-gallon tanks on behalf of the users. The AVEC tank farm, with a gross storage capacity of approximately 216,000 gallons for Toksook Bay power generation only (324,000 gallons for Toksook Bay and Tununak) will be completely separate from the balance of the consolidated tank farm. Therefore, no C-Plan will be required but regulatory plans will be necessary as part of the design process.

In an effort to design and construct those facilities we are applying on behalf of the City of Toksook Bay for a permit as referenced above. Per the general permit requirements we are submitting the following information and attached design’ drawings: _ 1. Vicinity Map & legal Description: Please reference the design drawings for the vicinity map. The tank farm will be located at Sec. 17, TOOSN, ROSOW, Seward Meridian (USGS Quad — Inunivak Island C-1). 2.

Aerial Photographs: _ See Appendix C for FAA 1996 aerial photo of the area. 4. Description of the Work: To construct a code compliant bulk fuel and dispensing facilities. These facilities will support Toksook Bay fuel needs. The project will consist of eleven bulk fuel tanks, two dispensing tanks, and space for a future tank. P.O. Box 242912 2702 Gambell Street, Suite 101 Anchorage, Alaska 99524-2912 Telephone: (907) 277-6409/6426 Facsimile: (907) 277-6443 ~ Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 4, 2003 General Permit 96-07 - 5. Project Purpose: ° To construct a new bulk fuel facility to current codes and sanded which would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety and shortage risks associated with the existing gasoline and diesel storage. The new facility would consolidate all of Toksook Bay's bulk fuel storage and provide for code compliant dispensing facilities for both communities. : 6. Dimensions of Fill Pads:: The following are approximate dimension for the respective pads. Please reference the drawings and cross sections to obtain more exact dimensions. The “H” depth of fill will vary across the pad due to the terrain so we have provided below an average value for this variable. Tank Farm and Dispensing Area: L = 215 ft, W= 158 ft, H = 10 ft. Roadway Area: .. L= 560. ft, W= 31 ft_H = 3 ft. Se =e 7.. Acreage and Amount of Fill: The area to be filled will be approximately 1 .69 Acres and about 14,100 cubic yards of fill. 8. Volume and type of Material removed: There is no brush or trees to clear the area of. The geotechnical report indicates that there is approximately 1 to 2 feet of organics which should be removed. These organics will be scraped off of the site and a portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the ~ balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. The amount of overburden is expected to be approximately 4,750 cubic yards. - 9. Location of Overburden Disposal: A portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. 10. Type of Fill Material, Location, and Source: The Alaska Department of Public Transportation (ADOT&PF) presently. has a contractor constructing a new runway in the community. The contractor is utilizing a gravel pit located approximately 1 mile from the project site. There are ample materials available to provide the necessary fill to construct the various pads and road segments around the tank farm. See Appendix B, which shows the fill material. Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm , March 4, 2003 General Permit 96-07 . 11. Stabilization and restoration methods: __ SO , The local gravel will be utilized as the base for the pads and road. This will establish a solid base that should be resistant to erosion. The stripped organics will be utilized to assist in stabilizing the side slopes and allow for re- vegetation. Any excess organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. If necessary, culverts will be placed in the roadway to channel the flow of water away from the tank farm pads and the roadway ~ Additionally, those areas that may be disturbed will be re-seeded and new grass will be established to allow for stabilization of those areas. 12. A Description of Alternative Locations & Justification of- Discharge / Removal of Materials from a Wet Lands: . A number of different locations have been studied over the past four or five years. The conclusion of all that research, and coordination with the community has resulted in the presently selected site. The only materials which are expected to be removed from the Wet Lands, would be the overburden. It will be handled as discussed above. We expect to discharge approximately 14,100 cubic yards into the area, which will allow for a code compliant bulk fuel facility to be constructed. Presently none of the fuel facilities are in compliance and there continues to be a problem with the transfer of fuels. This new facility will eliminate the poor conditions that presently exist at the expense of discharging fill into these wet lands. 13. A Plan to Avoid or Minimize Disturbance to Wet Lands & Any Plan for Re- Vegetation: - . ; We will minimize the size of the pads where possible. Where there are disturbances and around the sides of the pads will be landscaped with previously removed organics and we will re-seed the area to encourage the vegetation to grow back and stabilize the area. 14.

General Permit — GP — 96-07 for the AVEC Bulk Fuel Tank Farm Revised 1/99 Page 9 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Village of Toksook Bay is located on Nelson Island about 115 miles west of Bethel, Alaska. The population of Toksook Bay is 532. Toksook Bay is considered a2™ class city, and is over 95% Alaska Native or part Native. In Toksook Bay, water is derived from a well and infiltration gallery, is treated and stored in a 212,000-gallon tank, then piped throughout the community. A gravity piped sewer system also serves most households. Most occupied homes have complete plumbing. The City collects refuse and maintains the landfill. The traditional council operates the washeteria. There are 2 schools located in Toksook Bay, attended by 180 students. Toksook Bay Health Clinic provides medical services. There are several bulk fuel storage sites in the village of Toksook Bay. They include those maintained by retail vendors, the schools, the city, and the electric power co-op. The sites are generally non-compliant with fire, safety, and environmental regulations. Management of the sites is not uniformly diligent, and deterioration of the facilities ranges from nil to severe. Further, they are’marginally sized, and the risk of a fuel shortage in winter is always real. Bulk fuel is delivered by barge in the summer months. The bulk fuel storage tanks are filled with an above ground barge-offloading pipeline. The high school tank farm is supplied fuel by a fuel truck that is carried by the barge to the community. The participants in the proposed fuel system upgrades include: City of Toksook Bay (City) Nunakauiak Yupik Corporation (NYC) Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, Inc. (AVEC) . The construction of a new bulk fuel storage facility to current codes and standards would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety, and shortage risk. The new facility would displace all of the present sites, and consolidate it into one manageable facility. Each entity, the City, LKSD, NYC, and AVEC, would have a section cordoned off within the larger facility. Retail and bulk fuel transfer stations would also be constructed. The responsibility of retiring the existing facilities will be assumed by others. The Conceptual Design for the consolidated tank farm has a total capacity’ of approximately 507,000 gallons for Toksook Bay power generation only (615,000 gallons for Toksook Bay and Tununak) with the potential of installing a several future 27,000-gallon tanks on behalf of the users. The AVEC tank farm, with a gross storage capacity of approximately 216,000 gallons for Toksook Bay power generation only (324,000 gallons for Toksook Bay and Tununak) will be completely separate from the balance of the consolidated tank farm. Therefore, no C-Plan will be required but regulatory plans will be necessary as part of the design process.

Arctic Pacific Enterprises ‘is working on ‘behalf of the AVEC i in ‘the Community of Toksook Bay to complete a bulk fuel facility for their power plant. In an effort to design and construct those facilities we are applying on behalf of AVEC for a permit as referenced above. Per the general permit requirements we are submitting the following information and attached design drawings: 1. Vicinity Map & Legal Description: Please reference the design drawings for the vicinity map. The tank farm will be located at Sec. 17, TOO5N, ROQOW, Seward Meridian (USGS Quad — Inunivak Island C-1). 2. Plan Views and Typical Cross-Sections: See Drawings 1 and 2 for the plan and cross-section views (Appendix A) of the tank farm and associated structures. 3. Aerial Photographs: , See Appendix C for FAA 1996 aerial photo of the area. 4. Description of the Work: To construct a code compliant bulk fuel. These facilities will support AVEC’s fuel needs. The project will consist of twelve bulk fuel tanks and provisions for two additional tanks in the future. - P.O.

Tank Farm March 3, 2003 General Permit 96-07 . 5. Project Purpose: / To construct:a new bulk fuel facility to current éodes and standards which would mitigate much of the present environmental, safety and shortage risks associated with the existing diesel storage. The new facility would consolidate all bulk fuel storage in one central location and provide for code compliant for the electrical generating plant. 6. Dimensions of Fill Pads: The following are approximate dimension for the respective pads. Please reference the-drawings and cross sections to obtain more exact dimensions. The “H” depth of fill will vary across the pad due to the terrain so we have provided below an average value for this variable. Tank Farm Area: L = 280 ft, W = 137 ft, H=9 ft. Roadway Area: L = 430 ft, W= 31 ft., H=3 ft 7. Acreage and Amount of Fill: The area to be filled will be approximately 1.70 Acres and about 14,825 cubic . yards of fill is proposed to be place to form the pad and roadways. 8. Volume and type of Material removed: - There is no brush or trees to clear the area of. The geotechnical report indicates that there is approximately 1 to 2 feet of organics which should be removed. These organics will be scraped off of the site and a portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad and Toad areas while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. The amount of overburden is expected to: be approximately 4,750 cubic yards. 9. Location of Overburden Disposal: A portion of the organics will be utilized to landscape the side slopes of the pad while the balance of the organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. 10. Type of Fill Material, Location, and Source: The Alaska Department of Public Transportation (ADOT&PF) presently has a contractor constructing a new runway in the community. The contractor is utilizing a gravel pit located approximately 1 mile from the project site. There are ample materials available to provide the necessary fill to construct the various pads and road segments around the tank farm. See Appendix B, which shows the fill material. AVEC — Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm March 3, 2003 General Permit 96-07 11. Stabilization and restoration methods: The local gravel will be utilized as the base for the pads and road. This will establish a solid base that should be resistant to erosion. The stripped organics will be utilized to assist in stabilizing the side slopes and allow for re- vegetation. Any excess organics will be hauled back to the gravel pit for site reclamation. If necessary, culverts will be placed in the roadway to channel the flow of water away from the tank farm pads and the roadway Additionally, those areas that may be disturbed will be re-seeded and new grass will be established to allow for stabilization of those areas. 12. A Description of Alternative Locations & Justification of Discharge / Removal of Materials from a Wet Lands: . A number of different locations have been studied over the past four or five years: The conclusion of all that research and coordination with the community resulted in the presently selected site. The only materials which are expected to be removed from the Wet Lands would be the overburden. It will be handled as discussed above. We expect to discharge approximately 14,825 cubic yards into the area, which will allow for a code compliant bulk © fuel facility to be constructed. Presently none of the fuel facilities are in strict compliance and there continues to be a problem with fhe transfer of fuels. This new facility will eliminate the poor conditions that presently exist at the expense of discharging fill into these wet lands. 13. A Plan to Avoid or Minimize Disturbance to Wet Lands & Any Plan for Re- Vegetation: . We will minimize the size of the pads where possible. Where there are disturbances and around the sides of the pads will be landscaped with previously removed organics and we will re-seed the area to encourage the vegetation to grow back and stabilize the area. . 14.

We are providing assistance in the their consultation with you. Please reference recent conversations with Mr. Petrie, Ms. Becker and Mr. Marchegiani concerning the potential installation of four to seven wind turbines in Toksook Bay. | am attaching a draft configuration (Attachment #1) of the wind turbines which would be located within Block 10 in the Toksook Bay Townsite. Please reference the other attachments for additional information concerning the overall development. Toksook: Bay is in a high value area with a class 7 wind regime for wind power generation. It is estimated that one Atlantic Orient Corporation(AOC) AOC 15/50 machine in Toksook Bay could produce approximately 200,000 kwh per year. Presently, the proposed.-project is evaluating the installation of four (4) and up to seven (7) machines in Toksook Bay, which relate to displacing diesel generation between 800,000 kwh and 1,400,000 kwh per year respectively. Based upon an anticipated diesel efficiency of approximately 13.5 kwh per gallon; the potential displacement is approximately 59,000 gallons for the four machine confi iguration and 103,700 gallons for the seven machine configuration. The towers would be approximately 80 feet high with three blades. The designation AOC 15/50 stands for the 15 meter diameter blades and the 50 kw output of the generating units. So at four units, the maximum output would.be approximately 200 kw and at seven units the proposed development could potentially generate approximately 350 kw.. Please reference Appendix C for additional information on the AOC 15/50. P.O.

Land Fill) approximately 1,000 feet to the generating units. Each of the towers will be anchored via piling, which will be driven into the ground for the required foundations. The State of Alaska FY 2002 PCE report indicates the average cost of fuel used in Toksook Bay to be approximately $1.26 per gallon. Based upon that costs and the above savings in fuel used, it would relate to $74,340’ (4 machines) or $130,660 (7 machines) in fuel savings per year. In addition, fuel costs have been increasing, consequently the potential could be even greater i in future years. Besides the financial savings, it would also improve the air quality since the diesel generators would have decreased emissions to the atmosphere. The wind turbines would offer a much needed source of renewable electrical energy to Toksook Bay and potentially to Tununak (assuming they are interconnected). It would also decrease their dependency upon diesel fuel, which is difficult and expensive to deliver. Now that wind turbines are available, which can withstand the harsh conditions of the arctic environments, they can be a cost-effective choice for isolated - communities. Wind turbines in combination with diesel generation offer these two communities a way to reduce their dependence on diesel fuel and cut their electrical costs. Typically rural Alaskan community electrical costs can be many times the residential electrical cost for Anchorage or Fairbanks. Given our meeting June 24, 2003 and the proposed development, it is our opinion that the project development “is not likely to adversely affect” any endangered species. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel mes to contact me at 277- 6442. Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

S. Fish & Wildlife Service 605 West 4" Avenue, Room 61 Anchorage, Alaska 99501-2249 Subject: City of Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm Section 7 Consultation Dear Ms. Lance: Arctic Pacific Enterprises, LLC is working on behalf of AVEC on the Toksook Bay project and providing assistance in the subject consultation. Please reference your conversation with Mr. Marchegiani yesterday (4-8-03) concerning the above subject. You raised a number of questions concerning the Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Project and requested some additional information. Below we have listed the information that you requested: 1. Concerning the piping for the project: There are three sections of distribution piping, one which will run from the tank farm to the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD) High School (approximately 1,833 lineal feet), one which will run to the LKSD Elementary School (approximately 359 lineal feet), and one which will run to the City water plant (approximately 327 lineal feet). All distribution piping will be 2-inch diameter pipe. 2. The fill lines for the project will consist of two parallel lines (i.e. one for gas and one for diesel). The lines are proposed to extend from the marine header up to the tank farm as illustrated on drawing C-1 that was previously provided. The length of the gasoline fill line to the furthest bulk fuel tank (NYC portion of the tank farm) is approximately 884 lineal feet. The length of the diesel fill line to the furthest AVEC bulk fuel tank is approximately 1,117 lineal feet. Both fill lines will be 3-inch diameter pipe. 3. All fill lines and distribution lines will be Schedule 80, seamless, ASTM A106, Grade B pipe. RECEIVEg: 03 P.O.

See Attachment #1 for a table which delineates the existing capacity, useable capacity, current use, future use, and the proposed future capacity. You will note the assumptions for the increases for growth; 13-month period, etc. are listed at the bottom of the table. You may wish to note the total volume of 615,000 gallons is slightly different from the Table on drawing C-1 by 8,000 gallons (See discussion below under item 7). This is due to the situation that C-1 illustrates the volume of the tanks within the tank farm. The additional 8,000 gallons are two new 4,000 gallon double wall tanks that are proposed to serve as intermediate tanks at the LKSD High School and Elementary School. 5. See Attachment #2 for a set of tables by organization which delineates the existing capacity by the each tank in the existing tank farms. These figures are summarized in Attachment #1 under existing capacity. 6. See Attachment #3 (Drawing C-3 dated 11-15-03), which provides some additional ‘detail as discussed with you on the marine header and also a cross section of the tank farm pad and diking. These are conceptual design drawings and additional detail will be developed in the full design. 7. Please note that the actual legal description for the tank farm is described by indicating it will be located within Block 9 of the.U.S. Survey 5024. Hopefully, this will assist you in determining that it is within City property boundaries. . : Attachment #4 provides a map of Block 9 from the DNR Survey Offices, a printout from the Bethel Recorder's Office that illustrates that Block 9 of the U.S. Survey 5024 is a part of the Toksook Bay Townsite, and finally a description of the AVEC portion of Block 9 along with its recording at the DNR Recorders office. If you have information otherwise, please advise. 8. The Table on drawing C-1 delineates the number of tanks for each entity as placed within the tank farm and the particular size of the tanks as you previously discussed with Mr. Marchegiani of my staff. AVEC is proposed to have a total of twelve 27,000 gallon diesel tanks with room for two additional tanks in the future. The LKSD is proposed, to have three 27,000 gallon diesel tanks, one half of a 10,000 gallon dispensing tank and room for one additional 27,000 gallon tank in the future. The City is proposed to have one 10,000 gallon bulk fuel diesel tank and one half of the same 10,000 gallon dispensing tank that the LKSD has. The NYC will have three 27,000 gallon gasoline tanks, three 27,000 gallon. diesel tanks, one 10,000 gallon diesel tank, and one dual product 10,000 gallon dispensing tank. The overall tankage will provide for 521,000 gallons of diesel storage and 86,000 gallons of gasoline storage (total at the tank farm of 607,000 gallons. 9. As discussed, three regulatory plans will be developed for the project. They are the Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan, Facility Response Plan, and Operations Manual. A complete set of these plans will be developed for the AVEC portion of the tank farm, the LKSD portion of the tank Farm, and the consolidated tank farm for NYC and the City of Toksook Bay. These plans are normally completed after substantial completion of the project is met:since a registered engineer. must complete an inspection of the project and a certify . City of Toksook Bay Bulk Fuel Tank Farm Page 3 Section 7 Consultation . ; April 9, 2003 that the project meets the code requirements. Obviously, the engineer can not complete that certification until substantial completion. 10.As previously discussed, AVEC is investigating the possibility of providing an overland transmission line to Tununak to provide power to Tununak from Toksook Bay. In doing this, they would be able to operate the diesel plant in Toksook Bay much more efficiently than by running two separate power plants. It would reduce the excess capacity that would need to be carried in each community. Consequently the establishment of a single source of power for both communities would reduce the amount of fuel burned and the related air quality emissions. AVEC’s other contractor is presently investigating the possibility of this transmission line. 11.AVEC is also considering the potential of installing an estimated four to possibly eight wind machines in the Toksook Bay area to decrease AVEC’s reliance on. diesel fuels and reduce the overall emissions to the environment. Although a particular site has not been established, it is anticipated that investigations will be initiated this summer within an approximate radius of about a mile from the community to find a suitable location. If you have additional question, please feel free to contact Mr. Eric Marchegiani of my. staff 907-277-6427. Thanks for your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, ercy <z/ " .

The proposed tank farm upgrades include co-locating tank farms, replacing the marine header and fill lines, moving the power plant, and installing new gasoline and diesel dispensers. The project description indicates the fuel facility will span no waterways, security lighting will not be red, and lighting will be shielded downward. The proposed net increase in fuel storage capacity across four tank farms [Alaska Village Electric Cooperative (AVEC), Nunakauyak Yupik Corporation (NYC), the city, and the Lower Kuskokwim School District (LKSD)] is approximately 20%. The increased storage capacity will accommodate a 1.5% annual growth rate of the village for ten years pins a an assumed 13 months of annual use. There are two alternatives for this project; one provides enough fuel storage capacity to facilitate an intertie with Tununak, and one is without the extra capacity for Tununak. If the intertie alternative is chosen, an above ground power line will connect the power plant in Toksook Bay with the village of Tununak. The power line is proposed to follow a road connécting Toksook Bay and Tununak: ‘This road has been proposed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), but does not currently exist. Additionally, AVEC is considering installing wind turbines to augment the ~ diesel fuel requirements at this power plant. A site for wind power development has not been selected, however, the site will likely be within a 1-mile radius of Toksook Bay. Anenometers will be erected in 2003. Toksook Bay is located on Nelson Island, on the north shore of Kangirlvar Bay and is in the vicinity of Critical Habitat designated for the spectacled eider (Somateria fischeri), which was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (Act) in 1993. Spectacled eiders nest in the 3-mile corridor of wetlands to the south of Kangirlvar Bay. Furthermore, Steller’s eiders (Polysticta stelleri), listed as threatened under the Act in 1997, congregate in the thousands between Cape Vancouver and the Kolavinarak Delta during spring and fall migration. Mr. Al Ewing We have considered the potential for direct and indirect and negative effects to the threatened _ Steller’s and. spectacled eiders relative to this bulk fuel upgrade project. Fuel barge companies “typically ‘deliver fuel to Toksook Bay during May/June and in September/October however, emergency. déliveries have been made in winter over the frozen river. There is no mooring structure at the existing marine header, and the cost of installing a mooring structure has not been factored into this project. Although fuel barges are unable to moor at the marine header, the risk of damage to barges is improbable at Toksook Bay (Matt Sweetsir, Yutana Fuel Barge Co., pers. comm.). If a catastrophic spill were to occur in May, when Steller’s eiders stage near Cape Vancouver, Steller’s eiders could be affected by direct contact with hydrocarbons. However, because the probability of a catastrophic spill during fuel delivery is small, -and the period of time in which Steller’s eiders stage near Cape Vancouver is brief, we believe the probability of take occurring as a result of a catastrophic spill during fuel delivery to Toksook Bay is so small it is discountable. Furthermore, aside from the immediate south shore of Kangirlvar Bay, any oil spills occurring in the Bay are not likely to adversely affect the designated Critical Habitat for nesting spectacled eiders. Eiders have been known to strike power and communication lines in Alaska. However, migrating Steller’s and spectacled eider tend to follow the coastline, and typically do not traverse peninsulas. Therefore, the Service believes the likelihood of eiders striking the power transmission lines proposed to link Toksook Bay with Tununak, and the proposed anemometers near Toksook Bay, is so small it is also discountable. We acknowledge that the proposed upgrades to bulk fuel facility in Toksook Bay are largely beneficial actions, and believe that the probability of adverse indirect affects to threatened eiders and their habitat is discountable, therefore, the Service concurs with the Denali Commission’s assessment that this project is not likely to adversely affect listed species. Preparation ofa biological assessment or further consultation under section 7 of the Act regarding this project is not necessary at this time. If project plans change, additional information on listed or proposed species becomes available, or new species are listed that may be affected by the project, consultation should be reinitiated. . This letter relates only to federally listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat under our jurisdiction. It does not address species under the jurisdiction of “National Marine Fisheries Service, or other legislation or responsibilities under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, or the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. That said, we are sure you are aware that another of the Service’s Trust Resources, migratory birds, can suffer significant mortality from collisions with towers, blades and associated infrastructure such as power lines and guy wires. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the taking, killing, possession, transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests, except when specifically authorized by the Department of the Interior. While the MBTA has no provision for allowing unauthorized take, it must be recognized that some birds may be killed at structures such as wind turbines even if all reasonable measures to avoid such strikes are implemented. While it is not possible under the Act to absolve individuals Mr. Al bwing or companies from liability if they follow recommended guidelines, the Division of Law Enforcement and Department of Justice have used enforcement and prosecutorial discretion in the past regarding individuals or companies who have made good faith efforts to avoid the take of migratory birds. On February 25-26, 2003, the Service sponsored a workshop on wind power development in Alaska. The workshop was attended by Service biologists and by representatives from non- government organizations and federal and state agencies, that have plans to develop wind projects in Alaska. We have enclosed a summary document from the workshop, and would suggest that you consider developing a bird monitoring strategy for your wind development sites. You can find out from local residents, including wildlife professionals from Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge (907-543-3151), about which birds might be migrating and nesting in or through your proposed wind sites, and from that information determine when to concentrate your monitoring efforts. Monitoring should occur before erecting your turbines, while the anemometers are up. Furthermore, we recommend mortality checks be conducted in the vicinity of the anemometer towers on a regular basis. Predation may be high at your proposed wind sites. Because the sites are near communities, the mortality checks should not come at great cost or inconvenience. Installation of bird deterrent devices (i.e., bird diverters) should be considered if the towers require guy. wires. Currently, bird deterrent devices are in the form of coils around the wires or “flappers” attached to wires. There are many styles available and prices vary, but they are relatively inexpensive. Unfortunately, we do not know how effective these devices are during low visibility conditions, as are common in coastal Alaska. Finally, we would be happy to review and comment on your monitoring plan. This concludes section 7 consultation on the AVEC tank farm upgrade in Toksook Bay. . Thank you for your cooperation in meeting our joint responsibilities under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and we encourage you to continue your assessment of impacts to birds resulting from wind power development. If you have any questions, please contact me at (907) 271-2787 or Ellen Lance at (907) 271-1467. In future correspondences regarding this consultation, please refer to consultation number 2003-0095.

Background There is increasing activity concerning wind energy development in Alaska. The Alaska Energy Authority and rural utilities are considering the development of wind power projects at more than 100 villages in Alaska, including many located within or near lands managed by State or Federal agencies. In addition, urban utilities, military agencies, and other private entities are developing plans to use wind for generating energy. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recognizes that wind offers “clean” and economical power to remote villages where generators running on diesel can present a variety of pollution and human health hazards. The Service has primary responsibility for managing and protecting migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and manages several migratory bird species in Alaska protected under the Endangered Species Act. Increasing numbers of tall structures in the landscape, including wind turbines, pose a threat to birds which may collide with them. Therefore we are holding this one day workshop to help formulate a coordinated strategy. for supporting wind energy development in Alaska so that Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds bird populations, including endangered species, are protected from high mortality; managers of wind projects receive consistent, reasonable guidance from the Service and other land management and natural resource agencies; guidance is financially feasible so that energy sources that are more harmful to the environment are not chosen over wind energy projects; and natural resource managers can plan ahead to assess the effects of wind energy projects on birds, particularly in coastal regions which have been poorly studied and provide vital bird habitats. Workshop Goals The specific goals of this workshop are: To update participants on plans for wind energy projects in Alaska and provide them with information on what is known about avian collisions with wind turbines and how to prevent them. To have participants help the Service develop a set of regionally-specific voluntary guidelines for builders of wind energy projects in Alaska. National guidelines are being developed primarily for the large wind farms in the Lower 48 but may not apply to the smaller wind projects proposed in rural Alaska. Regional guidelines will be required to be consistent with the national guidelines but need to address regional-specific problems as well. Workshop participants will be given a working draft of the regional guidelines prior to the workshop to discuss, question, and refine.

PRELIMINARY SITE EVALUATION Much of the time was spent discussing the draft Regional Guidelines for wind energy developers in Alaska. The guidelines are essentially a copy of the draft National Guidelines with a few changes to make them more specific for Alaska. Some of the important issues discussed included the following. 1. IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS a. Guidelines are VOLUNTARY. .b. This is only one component of the site evaluation. Other aspects such an economics and engineering are typically done first. Other resource issues related to archeology, NEPA, and the Clean Water Act also need to be considered in the overall evaluation process. 2. CHECKLIST VERSUS INDEX SCORES. Most agreed that the Preliminary Site Evaluation was useful primarily as a checklist for organizing what is qualitatively known about the proposed development site. Many participants questioned the validity of using the checklists to derive quantitative scores and to compare scores both among proposed development sites to a reference site where the impacts on birds would be maximal. In particular the potential value of the quantitative scores seemed to vary with the size the development. a. Small developments.—The scores did not seem to be relevant to the small developments proposed for rural communities in Alaska where the options for locating turbines is limited (generally within 1-mile of the village) and expectations for scores to vary among sites low. Furthermore, comparisons of the scores to a “reference site” located at a distant location away from the village may have little meaning. However, the checklist would still be informative in identifying what species occur in at the proposed site and what specific characteristics about the site may lead to potential problems with birds. Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds isa Large developments.—In larger developments or areas where the sites available for development are more widespread and varied, deriving quantitative scores for proposed sites and comparing scores both among sites and to a reference site may be desirable. For example, the index scores could be useful for comparing the potential impacts among development sites in the gréater Anchorage area (i.e. Fire Island, Arctic Valley, Portage Valley, Bird Point, etc.) and a developable.site where the impacts would be the greatest (i.e. Coastal Refuge). In particular, identifying reference sites that are “worst case scenarios” for birds seemed to be a useful from a developer’s perspective. 3. IMPROVING THE CHECKLISTS Most participants agreed that the checklists were useful but we should consider including the following information: a. Species abundance—Additional information on species abundance (i.e. rare, common, abundant) and the presence of significant breeding colonies, molting areas, or concentrations of migrants would be useful to more fully evaluate sites. Such information might help better distinguish among sites that within a proposed development area. b. Regional occurrence.—Checklist could be regionalized to include only those species that occur in the region. This would not only make the checklists edsier to use but also may make the index scores derived from the checklists more comparable among sites within the region. c. “Show stoppers” for developers ——We could streamline the process by identify up front situations where species conditions (i.e. endangered species, massive seabird colony) would likély lead to.a recommendation to not develop a site. The legal framework (i.e. © Endangered Species Act) should used to identify these species conditions. 4. MORE THOUGHTS ON REFERENCE SITES AND QUANTITATIVE SCORES a. References sites.— The reference site approach does have some merits from a developer’s perspective but the references need to be more regionally specific to make them useful Alaska. To be most effective, however, the reference should be located at a site where wind energy development is feasible and should be within the same area or region that the wind development is being proposed. Some proposed that reference sites or worst case scenarios could be developed for each region in Alaska for comparison to proposed developments the region. Other thoughts in references sites included: e Oil vulnerability index for seabirds (Sanger et al.) was suggested as a good model of how to spread out the scores to better distinguish among potential development sites. e Additionally sites where impacts are minimal may also be useful to reference. e The value of the references may become more important in the future as larger developments are proposed. b. Quantitative scores ——Are the numbers that you come up with in the end valid, accurate, or biased? It was suggested that we should try applying the scores to the checklists at a variety of sites to see how well the scoring system works. In the end it does not require collecting any additional information than what is already noted in the checklists. Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds Several participants stressed that the index currently only compares sites and does NOT estimate potential impacts. Some suggested that we should consider conducting post- construction mortality studies to evaluate the validity of the scores. Other issues that were discussed related to the quantitative scores included: e Scores may be biased toward the amount of information West for a site. For example a town with a bird list compiled by a group of dedicated birders over a number of years would likely score hither than a remote village with little information available on birds. e Ranks useful to help give guidance for future developments. e A low score does not necessarily provide a “green light” for development. 5. OUTREACH Participants suggested that more focus be placed on outreach to industry in the development of the voluntary guidelines. Related to this the guidelines may need to be presented in a more clear fashion to more effectively articulate the process and its goals. Some areas that could be clarified include: a. The Service’s timeline is responding to industry should be made explicit. b. Developers need to consult with the Service on Endangered Species issues before putting Cc. up anemometers (i.e. MET towers). Who developers should contact with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The following Field Supervisors should be the primary contacts: ANN RAPPOPORT, Field Supervisor, Anchorage Fish and Wildlife Field Office Hl 605 West 4" Avenue, Room G-62, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, 907-271-2888 STEVE LEWIS, Field Supervisor, Fairbanks Fish and Wildlife Field Office 101 12" Avenue, Box 19, Fairbanks, Alaska 99701, 907-456-0203 BRUCE HALSTEAD, Field Supervisor, Juneau Fish and Wildlife Field Office 3000 Vintage Park Blvd, Suite 201, Juneau, Alaska 99801, 907-586-7240 Service’s role in providing information on birds. There was discussion on who is responsible for doing studies on birds. Developers are responsible for obtaining information if it relates to their potential take of migratory birds. However, given the fact that projects in Alaska are not developed by large companies, but rather by local utilites with tight, usually government funding, the Service is willing to partner with developers to obtain grants for studies. Grant programs were described in Mike Roy’s session of this workshop. Where in the overall process that industry goes through to plan these projects does the bird issue lie. National Wind Committee has a published process for development available on the web (www.nationalwind.com). B. STUDIES TO ASSESS AND MONITOR IMPACTS ON WILDLIFE Several participants stressed that we need more information to better predict the effects of wind energy developments in Alaska on birds. Currently we rely on the results from studies in the Workshop Summary— Wind energy development und birds lower 48, which may not necessarily apply in Alaska. Therefore organized studies are needed to more critically evaluate the effects of these developments on birds. In Lower 48 preconstruction studies are recommended, but Alaska is a somewhat unique situation because of the small scale of these rural developments. Representatives from industry stressed that proposed developments in rural Alaska are already done on a shoe-string budget and that additional studies could potentially threaten the feasibility of harnessing energy from wind in rural communities. However, others pointed out that there are many sources of funds to support such studies (see abstract of the presentation by Mike Roy below). Representatives from the wind energy sector could potentially work with land managers and biologists from state and federal agencies to secure the funds to support these studies. Also graduate students may be another means of bringing down the costs of studies. Other topics discussed on wildlife studies included: a. Information on bird mortality could be easily collected from existing developments (i.e. Kotzebue, Wales, Selawik, St. Paul). b. The information on bird distribution needs to be more easily accessible by developers. Ideally this could be on a website with GIS type layers for bird abundance at different locations in Alaska. The Seabird Colony Catalog is a good example (see abstract of the presentation by Shawn Stephensen below). Costs may come down in the future for wind turbines. Need to have some standards on the level of information needed to evaluate the impacts of proposed developments on wildlife populations as the available information will vary considerable among sites. pe Cc. RECOMMENDATIONS ON TURBINE DESIGN AND OPERATION Current technology that is applicable for rural Alaska may not meet the national recommendations for turbine design (i.e. tubular vs. lattice towers, guy wires, etc). Some items discussed regarding the recommendations on turbine design included: a. Research is not definitive on tubular vs. lattice. b. In many places it will be difficult to put up towers without guys from an engineering perspective. ° c. Suggestions on coloring blades may be premature. This should be a topic of future research not a specific recommendation. d. Laying down tower; how likely is this? This could be feasible from the industry prospective. e. Options for varying the height of towers are largely restricted in Alaska. Height may be more of a concern for the larger developments in Alaska (i.e. Chugach Electric in Anchorage has evaluated 25 sites in Anchorage: Fire Island, Bird Point, Arctic Valley, etc.). D. INDUSTRY AND THE SERVICE: HOW DO WE WORK TOGETHER? 1. LIABILITY There was some reluctance expressed by industry representatives to work with the Service because of fear of more restrictions being imposed on them based on the information collected. Service participants responded that the reverse is true because some protection from liability is Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds afforded to industry when they work with the Service. Currently permits related to the Endangered Species Act and Wetlands Protection Act can be issued to developers. However, protection from liability is not offered through such a process under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act even if developers make the good faith effort to work with the Service to follow the guidelines. Developers do not know whether their efforts to minimize bird deaths will be sufficient to preclude future law enforcement action. Some expressed the desire for a permitting process under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act similar to that available under the Endangered Species Act. Industry needs some assurance that their decisions in site selection (which takes into account many things besides impacts to birds that may be conflicting) are not misconstrued as an “unfaithful” attempt at addressing migratory bird issues. 2. OUTREACH : It was suggested that this dialog between the Service and industry representatives should continue. Meetings twice a year between industry and the Service would be useful in helping develop a more effective partnership. Also it would be useful if Service representative would make an effort to give presentations at utility staff meetings such as a meeting coming up in Barrow later this year. Establishing a listserve to keep discussions active was also recommended. 3. ADVISORY GROUP It was suggested that we look to the National Wind Coordinating Committee (NWCC) as a model of how to develop an effective advisory group for Alaska. The NWCC deals with all aspects of wind energy development, one component of which is the Avian-Wind Working Group. The Department of Energy funded the development of NWCC so they may be a possible source of funds for us in Alaska. If you want to find out more about the NWCC contact Al Manville (Albert_Manville@fws.gov) or check out their website at www.nationalwind-org.

Wind power is the fastest growing energy industry in the world. This presentation will very briefly review the history of wind power in the U.S., mention issues at Altamont Pass that first brought the bird strike issue to USFWS’s attention, and discuss efforts the Service is taking to minimize the impacts of turbines to birds and other wildlife species — such as through our developing interim draft siting and placement guidance. While the Service’s developing guidance is nationwide in scope, many recommendations and research needs are directly applicable to Alaska and will be reviewed. Turbines sited at land-based and offshore locations create different and sometimes unique challenges, and each will briefly be assessed, including concerns over mortality and cumulative impacts. Several listed species and birds of conservation Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds concern create additional challenges for turbine siting on National Wildlife Refuges and at some native villages, but also create opportunities for additional research and proactive conservation, both which will be mentioned. This presentation also briefly reviews the Division’s legal concerns; Service membership on in-house and multi-stakeholder working groups developed to address avian impacts; other voluntary Service guidance; and turbine issues likely key to impacting birds, including site evaluation, lighting, turbine design, and possible deterrents. WINDFIELD SITING FOR EIDERS AT ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND, ALASKA. Robert H. Day’, John R. Rose!, Robert J. Ritchie', John E. Shook’, and Brian A. Cooper” ' ABR, Inc.—Environmental Research & Services, P.O. Box 80410, Fairbanks, AK 99708-0410 (bday@abrinc.com); 2 ABR, Inc—Environmental Research & Services, P.O. Box 249, Forest Grove, OR 97116-0249 During spring and fall, many eiders pass St. Lawrence Island during their passage between breeding and wintering grounds. We studied bird movements in the vicinity of Gambell October-November 2002 and evaluated the probability of collision with the proposed windfarm, especially the collision of endangered Spectacled (Somateria fischeri) and Steller's (Polysticta stelleri) eiders. We recorded 876 groups of birds visually (representing 26,172 birds) and 687 radar targets of birds during this survey. During visual sampling, movement rates were dominated numerically (in decreasing order) by alcids, eiders, unidentified waterbirds (alcids and/or seaducks), gulls, other ducks, and cormorants. Eider movements consisted of Spectacled, King, and Common eiders. Mean movement rates of eiders varied geographically, with all recorded only over the ocean. Almost all non-eider taxa were recorded moving over the ocean, with only raptors and gulls also seen moving over the three zones on land. Mean flock sizes varied dramatically among species-groups; the mean flock size of eiders was 28.0 birds. Mean flight altitudes also varied dramatically among species-groups. Gulls had the highest mean flight altitude, followed by cormorants, raptors, unidentified waterbirds, loons, other ducks, eiders, and alcids; eiders had a mean flight altitude of 1.8 m and a maximal flight altitude of 15 m. Flight behavior was dominated overall by contouring flight (i.e., following the shoreline), followed by straight-line directional flight, erratic, flying/landing, and circling. We considered the radar to provide an underestimate of numbers of eiders moving over the ocean but to provide an accurate estimate of numbers moving over land. "Eiders" exhibited low mean movement rates on radar (1-3 targets/h) during most dates and under most weather conditions, whereas "non-eiders". exhibited mean movement rates of ~25 targets/h. Mean movement rates of "eiders" were ~175% higher at night than during the day, whereas mean movement rates of "non-eiders" were ~160% higher during the day than at night. Mean movement rates of "eiders" on radar varied geographically, with essentially all birds flying only over the ocean and none flying over the mountain and town, similar to what we recorded visually. Mean movement rates of "non-eiders" also varied geographically, with none recorded over the mountain, moderate numbers moving over the proposed wiridfarm and town, and much higher numbers moving over the ocean. On radar, “eiders" exhibited primarily straight-line directional characteristics, as did "non-eiders." Both the radar and visual data indicate that the number of birds moving and wintering in this area is large, and eiders form a significant proportion of those birds at this time of the year. Most birds passing Gambell in the fall do so over the ocean, with very little movement over land, including the proposed windfarm. Local villagers indicated that both eiders and Long-tailed Ducks fly over the spit on which Gambell occurs after the sea freezes and snow obscures the Workshop Summary—Wind energy development und birds boundary between sea and land; at those times, these birds occasionally hit the FAA towers. Flight altitudes of most species over the ocean are so low that, unless they change altitude as they cross land, they would pass under the rotor blades of the turbines as they are envisioned at this time. Although summer bird movements were not studied, we suggest that the location of the auklet colony should be a consideration in site selection at this windfarm. EFFECTS OF OFFSHORE WIND FARMS ON BIRDS. Tim Bowman, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Migratory Bird Management, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99503, 907-786- 3569, email: tim_bowman@fws.gov. Little is known about the effects of offshore wind farms on birds. Currently, the only operational offshore wind farms are in European waters, but several are proposed for the U.S. and Canada. Although placing wind farms offshore is more expensive than on land, it allows energy developers to tap into higher wind velocities and eliminates some of the obstacles associated with land-based wind farms such.as land purchase, annoyance to inhabitants, and conflicts with other planning interests. Potentially, offshore sites also create problems with birds, particularly sea ducks, which use the same ’shallow water habitats for feeding, resting, and migration. Concerns include 1) risk of collision mortality, 2) displacement from disturbance, and 3) loss of habitat. Only a few studies of the effects of wind farms on birds have been done, and these were on small, “demonstration” projects in Europe. The risk of collision has not been evaluated at all. Disturbance effects were generally found to be minimal; in most instances birds altered their flight behavior to avoid turbines. However, proposed offshore wind farm developments in both Europe and North America will be much larger than those studied previously; cumulative impacts could be important. There is an urgent need for baseline studies on 1) the direct and indirect effects of offshore wind farms on birds, 2) bird resources in proposed development areas, and 3) siting and design considerations for installations that will minimize the impacts on bird populations.

Michael Roy, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Coastal, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, and Fish Passage Program dit 1011 East Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503, 907-786-3925, michael roy@fws.gov. Even in today’s austere economic conditions, a diversity of public and private funding sources is available to support efforts to reduce avian mortality from wind power generation. To effectively raise funds, project proponents must carefully target potential funders, and clearly address the benefits that their projects provide. Key concepts to keep in mind include the following: 1. When targeting potential funders, clearly distinguish whether your project is voluntary or required by regulation. In general, many more grant programs support projects that can be articulated as voluntary, including those that originate in regulatory mandates but go beyond minimum legal requirements. 2. Determine the land base (Federal, state, Native, or private) where conservation efforts will take place. Many funding programs target private land projects. 3. Determine what type of action the funder typically funds. Many programs prefer “on- / the-ground” conservation or restoration efforts rather than research or monitoring efforts. 4, Determine who is the best applicant for the grant?. Agencies are precluded from many grant programs, as are for-profit entities. It is often wise to partner with locally-driven, non-governmental organizations, who can then serve as the grant applicant. 5. Determine the funder’s match requirements — 10-5 50% cash or in-kind services are generally required. The bottom line is that most Service funding sources, as well as outside sources of funding, focus on voluntary conservation efforts. So it’s always best to emphasize that component in any funding request. And many programs cater to efforts on private lands — so emphasize that aspect if possible. And unfortunately, research and monitoring are tough sells for most non-academic funding sources.

As previously discussed in a meeting with the Denali Commission, AVEC, Alaska Energy Authority (AEA), and the Service on August 9, 2002, some of the proposed locations for wind turbines are within or near Critical Habitat for the threatened spectacled and Steller’s eiders, or are located in or near known eider concentration areas or migratory pathways. Spectacled eiders and Steller’s eiders were listed as threatened in 1993 and 1997 (respectively) under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq: 87 stat 884, as amended) (Act). As you know, section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to ensure, through consultation with the Service, that their actions do not jeopardize the continued existence of listed species. Informal consultation provides an opportunity for the action agency and the Service to explore ways to modify the action to remove adverse effects to the species or critical habitat. If adverse effects cannot be avoided, however, the action agency must initiate formal consultation with the Service, which assesses the amount and extent of take and the potential for the action to jeopardize listed species. This process may take up to 135 days including 90 days to evaluate effects and 45 days to write the final biological opinion. This letter identifies those proposed wind power development areas that, based on existing data, are spatially juxtaposed to areas used by species protected under the Endangered Species Act. This information is provided to you as a guide in determining the projects for which formal section 7 consultation is appropriate. Additionally, those sites proposed for wind power development, that are not near areas used by species protected under the Endangered Species Act, are also identified. Furthermore, for your convenience, we have identified the lead Service Endangered Species Office for each proposed wind turbine location. Based on a review of the distribution and status of listed species in the vicinity of villages identified as potential wind power development sites, we have categorized each of the proposed sites according to anticipated affects to listed species as follows: No Listed Species Present Our records indicate that there are no federally listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat within the action area of the following proposed projects. In view of this, requirements of section 7 of the Act have been satisfied for these projects and no further action by your agency is required. A copy of this letter should be kept with each project file as documentation of this consultation. Mountain Village Anchorage Field Office St. Mary’s Anchorage Field Office Site is not within a high-risk area Our records indicate that, while there may be federally listed species occurring within the area of the following proposed projects, our best available information suggests that wind turbine projects in these are not likely to put protected species at risk. In view of this, section 7 requirements will most likely be satisfied through informal consultation on a project-by-project basis. Emmonak Anchorage Field Office Alaknuk Anchorage Field Office Noorvik Fairbanks Field Office Brevig Mission Fairbanks Field Office Site is within a high-risk area Our records indicate that there are federally listed or proposed species and/or designated critical habitat within the action area of the following proposed projects. Moreover, our best available information suggests that wind turbines in these areas are likely to pose a risk to federally listed species. To satisfy the requirements of section 7 of the Act, formal consultation may be needed for the following proposed sites: Gambell Anchorage Field Office Savoonga Anchorage Field Office Nightmute Anchorage Field Office Toksook Bay Anchorage Field Office Tununak Anchorage Field Office Hooper Bay Anchorage Field Office Mekoryuk Anchorage Field Office Quinhagak Anchorage Field Office Goodnews Bay Anchorage Field Office Togiak Anchorage Field Office Kivalina Fairbanks Field Office Stebbins Fairbanks Field Office St. Michael Fairbanks Field Office Shishmaref Fairbanks Field Office This letter relates only to federally listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat under our jurisdiction. It does not address species under the jurisdiction of National Marine Fisheries Service, or other legislation or responsibilities under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, or Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. We look forward to working with you and your consultants on these projects. If you have any questions, please contact me at (907) 271-2787, or Endangered Species Biologist Ellen Lance at 271-1467.

Since the Wind Generation Site is located on a separate parcel of land (i.e. Block 10, US: Survey 5024 — See Attachment #5) from the Bulk Fuel Tank Farm .and Power Plant project, we completed an additional Form 7460-1(See Attachment #1): If you wish to.amend the original Study, we are agreeable to that also. : We are proposing to install wind generation towers to-assist in the power generation for the community of Toksook Bay. | have included a number of attachments, which should provide additional insight to the project. The Location and Vicinity map (See Attachment #2) should orientate you to where the project is proposed in relation to the community of Toksook Bay.’ ‘The Wind Generator Layout drawing (See Attachment #3) provides a bit more detail as to the location of the units and their arrangement. | have also delineated: the existing clear air zone on this drawing. It is our understanding that the new airport to the north of the community is scheduled to be opened sometime in October 2003. At that time, the existing airport will then revert back to the local native corporation. There are three photographs (See Attachment #6). which illustrate the approximate location of the wind generation units. - In essence, we are proposing to install a total of seven (7) wind generators at the site. The towers are approximately 80 feet tall and the: rotor system with the blades is an additional 50 feet for a total above ground height of approximately 130 feet.(See the Customer Information on the AOC 15/50: See Attachment #7). The surface elevation on Block 10 where we are proposing to install the towers is approximately 50 feet in elevation. This would result in a total elevation at the top tip of the rotor system to be approximately 180 feet. ; uf P.O.

As part of that . process, we are submitting FAA Form 7460-1 ( See Attachment #1). The pad for the power plant, tank farm, and the retail facility will be staged at different elevations to minimize the amount of fill necessary to construct the facility. The proposed elevation for the pad at the power plant, the tank farm and the retail facilities would be approximately 53 feet, 42 feet and 34 feet: respectively.. The maximum structure heights (Above Ground Level (AGL)) would consist of an exhaust pipe from the power-plant, a vent pipe for the tank farm, and the top of the retail facility would be about 22 feet, 19 feet and 10 feet respectively. The overall maximum elevation for the power plant, tank farm, and the retail facility would be about 75 feet, 61 feet, and 44 feet respectively. All elevations are based upon U.S. Survey 5024 which utilized Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) completed.in 1951 by the U.S. Geological Survey. The Mean Sea Level. (MSL) datum may be approximated by utilizing the % tide level, which is approximately 4.6 feet higher than MLLW. P.O.

The existing AVEC power plant and tank farm are presently located adjacent to the existing Toksook Bay airport. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) has contracted with QAP to construct a new airport for Toksook Bay approximately 5,500 feet to the.north and east of the new proposed power plant and tank farm. The majority of that work has been completed during the fall of 2002. It is our understanding that the contractor will finish their work on the new runway this summer prior to final construction of the proposed upgraded power plant and tank farm. We expect to construct only the gravel pads (See Attachment #2) during the summer of 2003 for the power plant, tank farm.and retail facilities. We will allow the pad to settle this coming winter (2003-2004) and then initiate the construction of the power plant facilities, tanks and piping, and the retail facilities during the” summer of 2004.. Therefore the maximum elevation of the pad areas would. be. . approximately 53 feet this summer, which is about.the same ground elevation: .". around the existing AVEC Power Plant.’ We are hopeful that the pad construction. will not be a challenge for the existing Toksook Bay Airport or the transition to the use of the new Toksook Bay Airport. | am also providing a Quad Map of the Toksook Bay area for your information (See Attachment #3).

Complete Description of Proposal: Frequency/Power (kW) The purpose of the project is to upgrade the bulk fuel systems and power generating system in Toksook Bay. A new co- located bulk fuel facility will be constructed along with new fuel distribution pipe lines and marien header. A new power -———_, plant consisting of approximately eight modules will be located on piling above the surface of the proposed pad (Elevation 53 MLLW). Access to the power plant and the bulk fuel facilities will be via a gravel road on the south and west side of the proposed construction area. The existing right of way will need to be re-routed to the south of the Tank Farm and connect into Sunny Street and Cemetary Street. . . | The present airport / clear zone air space Is adjacent to the proposed construction (see the dashed area on Sheet C1). > Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) has already initiated construction of the new Toksok | Bay Airport and is scheduled to be completed next summer. Therefore the new airport will be 5,500 feet away from the new tank farm and power piant to the north east of the proposed tank farm project. The construction schedule for the tank farm and power plant is to construct only the pad to a maximum elevation of 53 | feet during the spring/ summer of 2003. During the following year (2004), materials would be procured in the winter of 2004 and the tank farm and power plant modules would be constructed in the spring/ summer of 2004 well after the new -—_+-— airport was compieted at its new location. The maximum elevation for the Power Piant would be at approximately 75 elevation MLLW, maximum elevation for appertenance on the top of the tanks would be elevation 61 MLLW, and the top of the retail facilities would be at elevation 44 MLLW as indicated above.
