INTRODUCTION
The appendix describes the public and agency participation
activities undertaken for the Bethel Area Power Plan study.
Chapter II contains a description of the public participation.
Chapter III contains a description of agency coordination.
Chapter IV summarizes the key issues and concerns identified
during the agency and public participation programs.
An active public and agency participation program has been
an integral part of the study. The primary objective of the.
program is to ensure that the study conclusions are consistent
with the preferences and policies of the local residents and
responsible public agencies.
The program has been led by Harza Engineering Company for
public participation and the Arctic Environmental Information
and Data Center (AEIDC), University of Alaska, for agency coor-
dination. Nunam Kitlutsisti of Bethel and the Calista Corpora-
tion also participated in the progream.

CHAPTER II
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The public participation program for the Bethel Area Power
Plan study has three specific goals:
l. Disseminate information to the public;
2. Receive feedback and comments from the public; and
3. Incorporate the feedback and comments in the plan
selection process.
The program was initiated during this feasibility assessment and
is expected to continue after submittal of the draft and final
reports to the APA. The program to date has placed primary
emphasis on the first goal, with efforts well underway on the
second and third goals.
Informational Activities
A variety of inedia was used to disseminate information to
as many people as possible. These media include public meetings
and presentations, radio/television programs and proyress re-
ports and newsletters. These iethods were met with varying
degrees of success, with radio/television programs the most
effective. Printed matter was more effective in Bethel than in
the villages. Public meetings were poorly attended, but some
good, immediate feedback was received.
Public Meetings and Presentations
In April of 1982, a series of public meetings were held in
Bethel and four villages. Table II-1 lists the dates, locations
and approximate attendance of the meetings.
The purpose of the meetings was to inform the residents of
the region that the study was being conducted. A 15-page book-
let was prepared for distrubution at the meetings. The booklet
explained the scope; organization, and purpose of the study. It
also encouraged questions about, and active participation in
the study process.
All questions and comments aired at the meetings were re-
corded for consideration during the study. Primary concerns
were related to the impacts on subsistence hunting and fishing
and the interconnection of villages to each other and _ to
Bethel.

Radio/Television Programs
The radio and television broadcasting in Bethel is through
station KYUK. In addition to the local programning, residents
of the region have cablevision, through which they receive the
statewide news nightly from Anchorage. Both radio and TV are
quite popular throughout the region.
The local radio/TV station was used to spread information
and solicit feedback on the study. Study team members appeared
on the hour-long radio talk show, "Yuk-to-Yuk" (Yupik for
"Person-to-Person"), on various occasions during the study.
Also, a study team inember gave a five-minute television inter-
view which aired on the local evening news Table II-2 summa-
rizes these activities.
Nunam Kitlutsisti has used radio announcements on a con-
tinuiny basis to provide updated information about the study to
area residents. Specifically all field activities conducted by
the study team were preceded by a radio announcement of the
timing, extent, and purpose of the activities. This was done in
response to a concern that field surveys in areas of signifi-
cance to local subsistence activity might unduly alarin the res-
idents.
Progress Report and Newsletter
When the study beyan monthly progress reports to the pub-
lic and agencies were planned. After distribution of the April,
1982 progress report (about 75 copies to public and agency
groups), the original schedule and format was abandoned. In-
stead, a progress newsletter was developed and over 1500 copies
were distributed throuyhout the region. Because of the inten-

sive subsistence fishing activity in the summer months, the
newsletter was published in early October 1982. The 12-page,
tabloid-style document contains a variety of articles on the
study ranging from a discussion of the existing situation to a
presentation of the energy supply options being considered.
An intensive followup effort, including meetinys with vil-
lage councils, was made by Nunam Kitlutsisti to solicit timely
feedback on the newsletter.
Study Team Input
Public input was sought primarily from regional leaders
(official and unofficial) and persons knowledgeable about the
region through personal experiences. Members of the study team
had considerable involvement in this effort.
Nunam Kitlutsisti and the Calista Corporation maintain
close contacts with the Bethel region's leaders. Extensive use
of these resources was made to help ensure that the most attrac—
tive alternative plans were being considered. Other study team
members. particularly from Darbyshire and Associates and AEIDC,
contributed their considerable personal experiences in the
Bethel region. Their knowledge of local thinking and preference
was also an important input to the study.

It is important to note that, while leaders and other know-
ledyeable persons can provide a good indication of the people's
preference direct input from the residents is essential to inake
the correct decisions for the region.

CHAPTER III
AGENCY COORDINATION
In Alaska, many state and Federal agencies have been
charged with preserving the balance between economic and re-
source development and environinental conservation. In an at-
tempt to meet the future energy needs of the Bethel region,
decisions must be made which will impact this balance. To en-
sure that the responsible agencies are involved in this process,
an ongoing program of coordination between the study team and
these agencies has been maintained.
Exhibit 1 provides a listing of significant correspondence
between agencies and the study team.
Responsible Agencies
At the inception of this study in February 1982, an apprai-
sal was made of agency coordination needs, The appraisal deter-
mined that:
° Much of the project area-lies within the Yukon Delta
National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
o The Kisaralik River, a potential source of hydroelec-
tric power, has been designated for study by the
National Park Service for possible classification as a
National Wild and Scenic River.
° Portions of the project area lie within the Bristol
Bay Cooperative Region and also within an area includ-
ed in an oil and gas leasing program.
° The Alaska Departinent of Fish & Game (ADF&G) has per-
mitting authority for activities affecting anadromous
fish streams and issues permits for collecting fish
specimens for scientific purposes.
The above findings led to designation of a Project Agency
Coordinator whose principal responsibilities were to be a liai-
son between responsible governinent agencies and the study team
and to provide assistance in obtaining necessary permits.
Coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was empha-
sized because of a concern that field activity restrictions
along the refuge portions of the Kisaralik River might be im-
posed. Peregrine falcons, an endanyered species, reportedly
occurred in the river's corridor.

Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge
Lying in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, 500 miles west of
Anchorage, the original 2.8 million acre Clarence Rhode National
Wildlife Refuge was established in 1960 to preserve vital water-
fowl habitat. As the largest of the primary waterbird units in
the National Refuge System, it provided nesting ground for
ducks, geese, swans, cranes, and shorebirds that migrate along
the nation's flyways. Passage of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) in December 1980 expanded the
refuge to combine the existing delta refuge with the Hazen Bay
and Nunivak Island Refuges, plus 13.4 million acres of public
land. Congress renamed this unit as the Yukon Delta National
Wildlife Refuge, and it comprises a total of 19,624,458 acres,
The Bethel study area that is within the Refuge includes
three potential hydropower sites on the Kisaralik River and the
area along the lower part of the Kuskokwim proposed as a trans-—
mission line right-of-way and the transmission intertie between
villages. Although these potential hydroelectric sites were
eventually eliminated from further consideration, site visits hy
study team members were required. Documents relating to pro-
posed field activities were provided to the Refuge Manager in
Bethel. Concurrently, a formal request was made for a Special
Use Permit to authorize the field activities.
On March 10, 1982 study team members met with the Refuge
Manager in Bethel to discuss permitting procedures. Of mutual
concern was the potential adverse effects on environmental re-
sources due to geotechnical surveys, temporary camp facilities,
and use of helicopters. The vulnerablility of nesting raptors
was of paramount importance. The refuge authorities also re-
quested thats:
1. Access to privately-owned land be authroized by ap-
propriate organizations.
2. Proposed field activities be consistent with the
Alaska Coastal Zone Management Program,
3. Field study operations be conducted in compliance with
the Endangered Species Act.
Due to the sensitivity of the endangered species issue, as
well as the permitting urgency, an informational meeting was
held March 15 with the USFWS at their regional office in
Anchorage. Representatives of the Sierra Club and National
Wildlife Federation (NWF) were invited. These two organizations
and the Audubon Society are on record before the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) as opposed to issuance of a prelim-
inary permit to the Alaska Power Authority for the original
IITI-2
Kisaralik Project (FERC #3175) because of the area's national
refuge status and potential for wilderness classification. The
meeting was attended by four USFWS personnel a Sierra Club
representative, a NWF representative. a study team representa-
tive, and the Project Agency Coordinator.
A major point of discussion concerned USFWS recommendations
for restricting study activities to reduce disturbances to pere-
grine falcons. The USFWS Endangered Species Coordinator out-
lined two options: either formal Section 7 consultation be
initiated with the USFWS Director, or rigid permit stipulation
should ‘be incorporated to ensure falcon protection. The latter
option was deemed preferable in that formal consultation wouid
unduly delay field activities. The Endangered Species Coordina-
tor suggested that the stipulations would:
l. Require a ground level survey conducted by experts,
to delineate potential nest site locations and pre-
sence of peregrine falcons.
2. Require aircraft -to be operated 1,500 ft above nest
’ level terrain when within one mile horizontal distance
of suspected nest sites.
3. Prohibit all human activity within one mile of nest
sites except that rivercraft may pass through protect-
ed zones.
4. Require that exceptions to the above could only be
granted with written approval by the Regional Di-
rector's representative.
A third meeting was held on April 7 in the USFWS Regional
Office to finalize stipulations for the peregrine falcon survey
and correct minor omissions in the original permit application.
As a result of this meeting. the following two steps were out-
lined:
1. Delineate all potential peregrine habitat along the
Kisaralik River. This would be accomplished by an
aerial survey of the Kisaralik drainaye, using a heli-
copter operating at or above 1,500 ft altitude, to
locate and map cliffs, rocky crags, riverine bluffs,
outcrops, and escarpments that could be used for fal-
con eyries.
2. Conduct an intensive ground level survey to identify
peregrine and other raptor use areas likely to be
affected by proposed geotechnical and environmental
studies.
III-3
Another issue discussed in the April 7 meeting was the re-
quirement that an individual experienced in surveying peregrine
falcons and witn credentials acceptable to the Regional Direc-
tor. take part in the ground level survey. In response the
Program Manager indicated that this capability existed within
the study team.
In a memorandum dated April 26, the Refuge Manager documen-
ted an April 21 telephone conversation in which he indicated
that the approach to the pereyrine falcon issue was acceptable.
The Refuge Manager emphasized that all raptor nests identified
in the survey would be protected by “use restrictions", and he
asked that a Refuge staff member accompany the ground survey
team.
A letter, dated May 7, from the counsel for the Wational
Wildlife Federation to the Refuge Manayer recomnended that fixed
wing aircraft be used rather than a helicopter, the regular
field studies be delayed until the termination of raptor nest-
ing, and an “expert" raptor ornothologist with "recognized ex-
perience and credentials" be part of the ground level survey
crew.
On May 12 the Refuge Manager issued Special Use Permit
1/D-08~-82 to Harza Engineering Company for the stated purpose of
conducting environmental and geophysical activities on specifi-
cally defined refuge lands within the Kisaralik River drainage.
In compliance with the terms of the Special Use Permit a
helicopter survey of potential peregrine and other raptor habi-
tats was accomplished during the period of May 12-14. Approxi-
Mately 37 habitat units of varying size were identified and
recorded as follows: 27 along the Kisaralik River 8 along
Quicksilver Creek and.one each along Gold Creek and the North
Fork tributary. ADF&G Biologists and a Refuge staff member
intermittently participated in the survey. Upon completion,
AEIDC staff members met with the Refuge Manager on May 14 at the
Bethel office to report survey results.
After the habitat surveys Harza engaged the services of a-
raptor expert to ensure data reliability during the ground level
survey. The credentials of the expert were approved by the
Refuge Manager.
The ground level survey crew systematically examined each
potential habitat unit during June 16-21, 1982. This resulted
in the discovery of five gyrfalcon and two golden eagle active
nest sites, as well as a site occupied by a lone gyrfalcon. The
absence of peregrine falcons was attributed to a limited prey
base (e.g., shorebirds), and, therefore, habitat potential. was
III-4
judged to be quite low for this species. The survey results
were documented in trip reports and field observation maps,
which were transmitted to the Refuge Manager.
With the completed ground survey and the establishment of
protective zones around raptor nest sites, the study team at-
tempted to undertake a coitbined geotechnical and biological sur-
vey of three potential hydroelectric sites on the Refuge portion
of the Kisaralik River. These sites were identified at Golden
Gate Falls, Lower Falis and Upper Falls. The field crew; com-
posed of a geologist, a planning engineer, and a biologist,
intended to use a helicopter to gain access to the three areas
during the period of June 29-July 2.
Based on the presence of raptor nests proximal to the
Goiden Gate and Lower Falls areas. the Refuge Manayer prohibited
helicopter access until the nesting season terminates in August.
The field crew offered to walk into the two restricted areas
from a-distant helicopter dropoff location. However, this was
rejected based on permit condition Number 11. "Upon establish-
ment of the protective zones, no activity will be permitted
within one mile of nest sites except river craft may float
through the protective zone provided noise is kept to a minimum
and no attempt is made to stop or land the craft." Due to lack
of access, only the Upper Falls site was surveyed and work at
the other two sites was delayed until mid-August.
The last cominunique with the USFWS was a telephone call
made July 6 to inform the Refuge Manager of field survey results
and to reconfirm the schedule for performing aquatic surveys
using a raft during the late July.
Congress enacted the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act in 1968 to
preserve and protect selected rivers of the Nation that possess
outstanding and remarkabie natural historic cultural, and
other values. The Act established initial components of the
system and set forth procedures to determine the suitability of
including additional rivers in the National preservation system.
Numerous amendinents to the Act and designations by the Secretary
of the Interior since 1968 have resulted in 61 components being
added to the system and an additional 88 rivers being proposed
to be studied for possible designation as a wild and scenic
river. One such river, the Kisaralik, has been proposed for
study with enactment of the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA).
The Kisaralik Wild and Scenic River study was initiated in
June 1981 with the formation of a study group with agency and
ILI-5
Native organization representatives. The National Park Service was designated by Congress to direct the study. A field recon- naissance of the Kisaralik River corridor was made in August
1981. Public meetings were held early in 1982, and a draft
environmental impact statement was released for review during
the summer of 1982. The Bethel Area Power Plan study team has
maintained close cooperation with the U S. National Park Ser-
vice. This cooperative effort facilitated keeping each other
informed of study processes pertaining to both Wild and Scenic
River classification and the hydropower potential of the
Kisaralik River.
The Bethel study team's role was largely that of serving in
a review and advisory capacity. Specifically, this involved a
review of documents and the transmittal of environmental re-
source and geotechnical information for use by the National Park
Service in preparing a draft enviromental impact statement (EIS).
The Project Agency Coordinator participated in two meet- ings. A public information meeting was held on February 22,
1982 in the National Park Service office in Anchorage. It was attended by 14 people who indicated no preferences for specific alternatives. Questions generated by the attendees focused on state participation in the study and its attitude toward formal designation, the continued use of the area's resources by various user groups and the status of the hydropower feasibi-
lity assessment study. The Project Agency Coordinator provided
input on the proposed environmental and geotechnical aspects of
the Kisaralik hydropower alternative of the Bethel Area Power
Plan study.
A Kisaralik Wild and Scenic River Study Team meeting was
held April 7, 1982, at the USFWS Regional Office for the purpose of selecting a preferred aiternative. Representatives from the
Bethel study team, representatives of the Alaska Power Authority
(APA), and the Project Agency Coordinator attended the meeting.
The results of a public opinion survey were presented at
the meeting. Of the 31 responses to the 350 questionnaires
distributed, 45 percent of the respondees favored Alternative 2
designation of eligible. segments of the river which would pre-
clude hydroelectric development. The Alaska Power Authority
favored the "no action" alternative.
The National Park Service Director for the Alaska Region
conferred with State of Alaska representatives regarding the inclusion of the upper part of the river as a state-administered
component of the National System under Section 2(a)(ii) of the
III-6
Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. However, the state declined to take
any such action.
The Bethel study team's advisory role consisted of provid
ing the National Park Service information on environmental re-
sources to be added, if appropriate, to its environmental stu-
dies of the Kisaralik region. An AEIDC interim report charac-
terizing the regional climate geomorphology, and aquatic and
terrestrial resources was transmitted to the National Park Ser-
vice on May 11, 1982. This report summarized existing informa-
tion either reported in the literature or unpublished materiais
and file reports maintained by resource ianagement agencies.
Additional data primarily from AEIDC field studies, were trans-
mitted to the National Park Service on July 12.
The Kisaralik Wild and Scenic Power Study Report will be published in February 1984.
Other Agency Contacts ~
A meeting with public agency representatives was held in
the APA office on April 20, 1982. The purpose of the meeting
was to inform interested agencies of the study program.
Other agency contacts included written communications with
the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The primary purpose of these contacts was to comply with permit requirements.
A letter dated Fepruary 23 from AEIDC to the Commissioner
of ADF&G accompanied an application for a permit to collect fish
and aquatic invertebrates for investigative purposes The geo-
graphic area of interest for sampling was the Kisaralik River
and drainage basin. This allowed the collection of current information on seasonal habitat use by species and the quality
of respective habitats. The permit, Number 82-84, was issued on
March 15, 1982. By letter dated July 29, 1982, a request was
made to amend the collecting permit for authorization to take
scientific specimens from the Chikuminuk Lake environs. A new
permit, Number 82-100, issued August 2, authorized the conduct
of activity in the Kisaralik drainage Chikuminuk Lake, and the
Allen River outflow from Chikuminuk Lake A report of specimens
collected in the Kisaralik drainage was submitted to the Commis-—
sioner December 10, 1982. A report on Chikuminuk Lake and Allen
River specimens collected was submitted to the Commission on
December 22, 1982.
The study team requested and received an Incompatible Use
Permit (Number 6700-82-2) from the Department of Natural
Resources, Division of Parks, for site visits to Chikuminuk and
III-7
Upnuk Lakes on July 8. ‘These sites are located within the boun-
daries of Wood-Tikchik State Park. A summary of findinys was
transmitted August 4, 1982 to the Parks Director.
The DNR State Historic Preservation. Office (SHPO), in a
letter dated April 6, 1982, expressed concern that the Division
of Parks had not been consulted regarding cultural resource
stipulations (36 CFR 800). ° The letter referenced the procedures
set forth in the Scope of Services document appended to contract
BAPP-2. By letter dated April 28, the Alaska Power Authority
advised the SHPO that AEIDC would be in contact for consultation
purposes and that the study plan had indeed addressed this as-
pect of 36 CFR 800. AEIDC by letter dated June 23, provided
the SHPO with a status report on this aspect of the study, in-
cluding the arrangements previously made to access information
on file with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.
The study team wrote a memorandum outlining the Bethel
study for use by the APA in support of a preliminary permit
application before FERC for the Kisaralik (Lower Falls) pro-
ject.
The study team prepared a draft memorandum to the Executive
Director of the Lower Yukon/Kuskokwim Aquacultural Association
addressing comments and concerns for the mitigation of fishery
resources and sociocultural impacts of hydroelectric development
on the Kisaralik River.
Contact was made with the Bristol Bay Cooperative Manage-
ment Office through the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge in
accordance with procedures set forth by the USFWS prior to issu-
ance of the Special Use Permit.

CHAPTER IV
KEY ISSUES AND CONCERNS
As a result of this public and agency participation pro-
gram several key issues and concerns have been identified.
These are:
1. Subsistence hunting and fishing;
2. Roads and right-of-ways on privately-owned lands:
3. Environmental quality; and
4. Community identity and independence.
This listing is not meant to be a complete listing but simply
represents the major issues identified to date.
Subsistence
Subsistence can be defined as obtaining food, fiber and
shelter from the surrounding environinent (i.e. "living off the
land"). Residents of the Bethel region depend on subsistence
activities for a number of reasons. It is a traditional method
of provision passed down through generations. Under current
economic conditions, it otfers savings over the purchase of
costly foodstuffs. Perhaps equally important, subsistence pro-
vides a fruitful form of recreation.
It is clear that any energy supply plan which would seri-
ously impact subsistence activities would be wholly unacceptable
to the residents of the Bethel region.
Land Rights
Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 allocated vast
areas of land to native ownership. Regional and village corpo-
rations were established to administer and utilize these lands.
Since the majority of Alaska land is owned by the state and
federal government, private land is a precious commodity.
Siting of project facilities, particularly electrical
transmission lines, must consider land ownership.
Environmental Quality
The Bethel region's concern for enviromnental quality
stems. in a large part from the residents' subsistence life-
style. In addition, the region is located within the Yukon
Delta Wational Wildlife Refuge. This designated Refuge is the
Iv-1
summer breeding ground for major waterfowl populations of
national signficance.
The Kisaralik River corridor is under study for designation
as a Wild and Scenic River. If the river is determined to have
outstanding scenic resource values, it will be designated to
remain "forever wild". This would preclude any form of develop-
ment (particularly hydroelectric) within two miles on either
side of the river.
Community Independence
Within the study area (Bethel and the 12 villages within a
50-mile radius), the city of Bethél is the acknowledged regional
center. With its deep water port facilities, nearly all goods
and services are transported to the surrounding villages through
Bethel.
While the village residents are keenly aware of this
inherent dependence on Bethel they are protective of whatever
degree of independence their village can inaintain from other communities. This philosophy has great impact on such project
features as transmission interties and roads. Many communities
are opposed to roads, because it might increase access and traf-
fic to the community. Increased access would break down the
independence that is now afforded by inaccessibility.
The Bethel study team has given full consideration to these
identified concerns throughout the study process. As a result
the best alternative for the reyion can be put forward with
confidence that the true needs of the region are being served.
