Retherford Associates Appendix D Board Resolution to Investigate Lake Elva Potential Letter of Support - Bristol Bay Native Corporation Financial Statement - Nushagak Electric Cooperative, Inc. 1. INTRODUCTION The Nushagak Electric Cooperative, Inc., is a non-profit distribution type REA borrower which presently generates all of its power requirements from diesel generator units in Dillingham, Alaska. This system provides the total electrical energy and power requirements of its memebers in the areas in and around the City of Dillingham, the villages of Aleknagik, Nelsonville, Kanakanak, and the rural areas between these villages and the City, all located within the Bristol Bay Borough, Alaska. (See Appendix A maps.) The primary purpose of the proposed work is to provide additional energy from renewable resources for the growing electric system now served by the Cooperative and to extend its electrical service to future loads within its service boundaries. This proposal is to utilize the energy potential of Lake Elva which will replace expensive and a non- renewable energy source (diesel fuel). Lake Elva is a small lake approximately 50 miles NNW of Dillingham that is perched approximately 260 feet above Lake Nerka. The lake has a drainage area of 14.3 square miles and an estimated annual average runoff of 57 cubic feet per second. This flow estimate is based on records from the nearby Nuyakuk River gage which has an annual average runoff of 4 cfs per square mile. The NOAA Technical Memorandum — NWS AR-10, Mean Monthly and Annual Precipitation Alaska (1974), indicates that Lake Elva may have a greater runoff per square mile than that of the Nuyakuk drainage. A dam at Lake Elva to create a mean effective head of 300 feet ata powerplant near Lake Nerka would produce in excess of 10,000,000 kWh of firm power delivered to the Dillingham area each year. The present generating facilities, owned by the Cooperative are located in Dillingham and consists of: One 500 kW Chicago Pneumatic diesel unit One 300 kW General Motors diesel unit One 350 kW White Superior diesel unit One 750 kW White Superior diesel unit Of these units, only the two White Superior units are considered to be reliable. The September 1974 REA Power Requirement Study for the Nushagak Electric Cooperative forecasts the following load data: YEAR 1975 1979 1983 Demand kW 970 1,500 2,200 Energy kWh 4,500,000 6,700,000 10,000,000 This indicates that another diesel unit of about 1000 kW size will have to be added in the near future, even before any hydroelectric project could be constructed. A Two Year Work Plan and a loan application for this additional diesel unit will be made in 1975. In the past, the Cooperative's load has not been sufficient to develop even a small hydro project like Lake Elva. Diesel units have been used because they required a small investment and oil was relatively cheap. Recently, diesel fuel costs have skyrocketed and costs of diesel generation facilities have increased significantly. The estimated cost of new diesel generation installed in Dillingham is in excess of $400 per kW. The above mentioned Load Study shows the system can fully utilize the energy output of Lake Elva in the year 1983. The main industry of the area is commercial fishing. The declining salmon runs has made this an economic depressed area and in 1974, the President declared Bristol Bay as a Disaster Area. The Alaska State Welfare office in Dillingham services 29 villages, mostly natives, with a total population of 6,000 people. Nearly all of the food stamps issued are spent in Dillingham. The REA considers the Nushagak Electric Cooperative as one of its more critical borrowers and provides it with very low interest monies for construction. However, REA does not loan front-end money for costly hydroelectric investigations. The cost of these investigations and obtaining a license to construct the Lake Elva project is $250,000. This high cost makes it virtually impossible for the Nushagak Electric Cooperative to do other than continue to add additional diesel generating units at ever increasing costs and use a non-renewable energy source that is contrary to the nation's energy policy. 2. ABSTRACT OF PROPOSAL The proposed scheme of development for the Lake Elva Project is as follows: (a) (b) (c) (da) (e) (£) (g) Construct a rock-fill dam at the mouth of Lake Elva approximately 80 feet maximum height and about 900 feet in length to create 350 feet of static head above Lake Nerka. It is proposed that the dam will be sealed by an impervious asphalt paved face. Construct a spillway in a natural saddle composed of greywacke bedrock. Install about one mile of steel penstock pipe from the dam to a powerhouse near Lake Nerka. Construct a powerhouse near the shore of Lake Nerka. Improve the salmon spawning beds between the powerhouse and Lake Nerka. Construct a 25 kV transmission line to the Cooperative's market area. To minimize adverse environmental impact, it is proposed to lay 9.3 miles of underground cable in Lake Nerka, construct 2.2 miles of overhead line between Lake Nerka and Lake Aleknagik, lay 17.5 miles of under- ground cable in Lake Aleknagik to connect with the cooperative's existing system in the Village of Aleknagik. The single phase line now serving Aleknagik from Dillingham would be rephased to three phase. The estimated installed capacity in the powerhouse is 3000 horsepower in two units and the estimated average annual output of the project is 10,600,000 kWh of firm energy. (a) (b) 3. PLAN OF WORK The project objective is to make a complete study of the technical and economic feasibility of the Lake Elva hydroelectric potential. To obtain this objective, the Nushagak Electric Cooperative will employ a consulting engineering firm to make the study which will lead to the preparation of a Definite Project Report and an Application for License to construct the project should feasibility be proven as the investigations proceed. Of major importance in the investigation is the hydro- logic study. A recording gaging station should be installed in the stream below Lake Elva as rapidly as possible to accumulate data for correlation with other nearby drainage systems. The estimated cost of instal- ling a gage is $12,000 plus $2,000 per year for servicing and changing charts. A complete geologic study will be required which will include core drilling at the dam site, spillway, and powerhouse areas; seismic profiles of the penstock line and tailrace; geologic formations; earthquakes; faults, and landslides. The estimated cost of the geologic study is $90,000. Field surveys will be required to identify the boundary of the project, dam height and location, spillway profile, penstock profile, reservoir area, topography of powerhouse and tailrace, and a depth contour of Lake Elva. The estimated cost of the surveys required is $60,000. Economic feasibility studies comparing the estimated cost of power from Lake Elva to other forms of generation is expected to cost $15,000. Preliminary physical design, construction cost estimates and drawings are estimated to cost $21,000. Finally, the application for License to construct will cost another $50,000. This application will be complete with all exhibits as required by the Federal Power Commission which includes studies of the fish and wildlife of the area, a recreation plan and a full- blown environmental report. The financing of the investigation of this project and the application for license to construct will have to come from a grant or a low interest rate loan. The general funds (presently $33,300) of the Nushagak Electric Cooperative cannot begin to undertake an expenditure this size without low interest rate money. “1 | (o>) Construction of the project, if found feasible, will be financed by monies borrowed from the Rural Electri- fication Administration to be repaid from the revenues of the Cooperative. The attached (Appendix B) REA Form 341 - Summary of Consumers and kWh Estimates - lists the projected consumers and the kWh estimates through the year 1983. The Bristol Bay Native Corporation has announced plans to build their office complex in Dillingham since REA made the above forecast. The anticipated load require- ments for this building complex is an additional 230 KVA demand to be added in 1976. The Cooperative intends to file for a Geet iat pety permit and obtain permission to trespass on the lands involved in early spring 1975. A flow recording gage should be installed in the stream below Lake Elva early in 1975 to obtain at least one full year water record before applying for a license to construct the project. A preliminary investigation of the site would be made at the time of installing the gaging station. The information and photographs taken would be used for pre-planning the geologic studies and surveys to be completed during late summer and early fall Data for preparing the economic feasibility, fish and wildlife, recreation, and environmental reports will be collected simultaneously with the field investigation and continued on into the winter of 1975-1976. Upon completion of the field work, notes will be reduced, core samples analyzed, the basic project design and drawings completed, and a Definite Project Report submitted. An Application for License to construct the project would be submitted to the Federal Power Commission in the Spring of 1976. It is hoped that a license to construct could be obtained prior to the end of 1977. The dam, powerhouse sub- structure, and spillway could be constructed in 1978 and the penstock pipe, generating equipment and trans- mission line materials order placed. Th transmission line should be constructed during the winter of 1978-1979 to least disturb the environment and salmon spawning. A trenching machine could be used for laying the cable in the lakes through the ice. The powerhouse equipment and penstock would be installed and the powerhouse superstructure completed during the summer construction season of 1979. The plant would be fully operational before the peak winter loads of 1979. This plan calls for all equipment access to be over the ice of the lakes in winter and all personnel access to be by boat, snowmachine, or airplane. No expensive clearing of rights-of-way will be needed which would mar the scenic beauty of this magnificent lake country. (a) (b) (c) (d) 4.

During the past several years, our Land Department has investigated the published information on the surface and subsurface potential values of the lands in the Bristol Bay Region for the purpose of assisting our villages in making their land selections under the Alaska Native Claim Settlement Act. The information we have compiled is not restricted to only the village with- drawal areas. Therefore we are aware that there are areas potential for hydro-electric and geo-thermal power. Lake Elva is certainly an area specially suited for hydro-electric develop- ment with a minimal of environmental degradation, since there are no salmon spawning in the lake due to an impassable water fall. The only detrimental effects an environmentalist may have is that this project is located within the proposed Wood River - Tikchik State Park. However, this possible area of ~ conflict should not discourage the pursuit of developing this required necessity since any developed area in the Park will require electric power. A diesel generator certainly has no place in a part with it's noise. fumes and possible oil spills. Therefore, we strongly support your efforts in the possible development of the hydro-electric power in the Bristol Bay region. Sincerely, BRISTOL BAY NATIVE CORPORATION ‘Harold H.
