PUBLIC COMMENT There were no public comments. 5. AGENDA COMMENTS There were no agenda comments. 6. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES - March 24, 2003 MOTION: Mr. Griffith moved to approve the meeting minutes of March 24, 2003. Mr. Story seconded the motion. The minutes need to reflect a change on page 2, motion for item 7A, the second was Mr. Posey. A voice vote was taken, and the minutes were unanimously approved as amended. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Risk Assessment Scope of Work Proposal Saxton Mr. Saxton stated that the risk assessment scope of work proposal includes both comments from himself and AIDEA/AEA and is ready to be acted on. MOTION: Mr. Griffith moved to approve the Risk Assessment Scope of Work for issuance, seconded by Mr. Story. Mr. Saxton noted that before it is approved, the dates on the last page need to be determined. Mr. Griffith stated that the changes looked appropriate but wondered if the changes hit the issues that the group is trying to reach on the insurance. Mr. Story felt that it did. Mr. Copoulos stated that the document has been reviewed, and was provided input on what the consultant should look at to get a comprehensive review and that has been incorporated in addition to the minor edits. Chair Haagenson wants this document to be sent back to the Finance Committee for issuance. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. 7. NEW BUSINESS B. Presentation from governor Subcommittee Stead Mr. Stead stated that the Subcommittee had reviewed the proposal by VA Tech Hydro who was the only proposer on the project and had met with them and recommend to continue with contract negotiation along with pursing a contract with them to procure the new governor pilot valves and position sensors. Chair Haagenson read the Resolution for the record (attached). Chair Haagenson commented that he felt the committee was giving them an unlimited checkbook. The number he had was $1.2 million and would like to incorporate that into the Resolution. Mr. Carmony asked that HEA bring the negotiated agreement back to the committee for a vote. HEA stated that would be fine, and they would be going back to them for a ‘best and final’ but believe it will be at $1.2 million. HEA will call and ask for a special meeting once that is completed. Mr. Calvert asked why there was only one bidder. Mr. Stead responded that most of the people declined to bid. Some of them had problems with the Bradley Lake Hydro project itself; some were involved earlier in the late ‘80s in the construction. VA Tech Hydro was the only one wanting to step up and do something. HEA received two letters declining to bid, which were rather explicit. Mr. Griffith asked if that was based upon construction problems they perceived or just general bad feelings about the late ‘80s. Mr. Stead responded that one believed they would not be able to solve all the problems because the turbine pit was too small and there was one that said that based upon their previous history on the project the didn’t think they would be able to solve all the problems. They felt the utilities’ group expectations on responsibility were above what they believe could be implemented. They felt that we were asking for too much. Mr. Carmony asked that a copy of the letters declining to bid be faxed for review to see the concerns and discuss. Mr. Griffith withdrew his original motion and Mr. Story recommended the following: MOTION: Authorize HEA to go forward and negotiate a final contract and price with VA Tech Hydro. Seconded by Mr. Carmony. Correspondence will be provided to the BPMC of the two non-bidders for their review. A voice vote was taken and the motion unanimously passed. 7. NEW BUSINESS Cc. HEA Bradley Lake Transmission Losses at Bradley Lake Story Mr. Story expanded on the letter dated April 29, 2003, from HEA to Chair Haagenson. HEA had a Black and Veatch study performed, which revealed certain things. HEA had hired EPS to look at system losses and their conclusion was that HEA’s transmission losses were above what was being calculated and credited back. HEA is currently in discussion with CEA and are investigating findings in that study and will come out with an opinion together in the future. There is some belief that possibly the losses aren't as far off as being indicated. HEA will keep the group informed as well as through the technical committee. HEA is also continuing with the installation of a check meter. HEA has seen a steady growth of losses over time since Bradley came on line, and suspected there was something going on there, but this is the first time HEA has really looked at it to this degree, which is subject to interpretation and also criticism. However, HEA is making an attempt to identify because their losses at times swing heavy. The SVC losses have been known since the beginning and that is something that Black and Veatch’s study discovered and HEA will be working on that as well. HEA will work through it with CEA. Chair Haagenson will send the letter on to the O&D committee for further action. Z. NEW BUSINESS D. 0&D Committee Martin River Report Copoulos Mr. Copoulos stated that at the last meeting he was requested to provide some support information on the Martin River, including FERC license amendments. The plan is to do some minimal maintenance; the RFP has gone out. Mr. Griffith asked what was concluded with the Martin River report. Mr. Copoulos said that at this point, the plan is to complete minimal maintenance to make the road serviceable and to blade the runway this summer. We will continue with an air transport study to make a determination of how best to handle the air transportation question in the long-term, and whether that will or will not include the Martin River. An air transport study will be done to clarify the access procedures and also to clarify what is the best use of the Martin River airstrip and if there is a need to continue to spend money maintaining it. Mr. Story stated that HEA is not having issues getting people in and out. The issues and decision making relative to transportation and possibly people’s willingness and desire to exit the project because of shift changes, etc. The runway was slated to be wrecked out when this project was complete. Someone at the time felt the alternate airstrip should be available since it was already built. Now the issue to bring it up to grade is roughly $300,000 or to wreck it out and restore. HEA was leaning more toward managing the way air travel was scheduled to eliminate the need for a second field, and also do a minimal amount of demo on that strip in the event it is ever brought back for use. Extracting people that are injured or down would be done with a chopper. If there is a concern of flying or not flying due to weather — that is done all the time. The issue for HEA as far as managing the project on site is not that much of a concern. Mr. Story asked what the results of the study would include. Mr. Copoulos explained that the study is to help with the decision on what to do with the Martin River over the long-term. Although HEA’s approach is to do minimal maintenance, what the O&D committee had discussed was that because of where the airstrip is located, in the floodplain of the Martin River, eventually the airstrip would be washed away resulting in a significant cost to replace. It’s an economic decision whether to spend the money to maintain it, which is an obligation under the FERC license, or make a one time effort to go in and get rid of it. Those are the items the air transport study will review. Mr. Copoulos also noted that as a condition of the FERC license, it’s required that the airstrip be available and maintained. Mr. Saxton asked if the removal for FERC is not complicated and expensive and is in fact reasonably simple? Mr. Copoulos believes he could get FERC approval to remove it, but any amendment in the FERC license isn’t going to be complicated or simple due to the amendment process. Mr. Story stated that if it can be maintained on a short run for a minimum amount of money and when it becomes damaged by the river that it is no longer useful, then request an amendment to the FERC license with a recommendation to remove it and do the work for minimum cost. Mr. Story’s suggestion is to leave the strip there and do minimal maintenance to get by with, or ask for an amendment to remove it and discuss with FERC to do so. Mr. Copoulos agreed that the approach of doing minimal maintenance makes the most sense economically. The only concern is complying with FERC obligation with maintaining the road and continue to use the access and then eventually when it completely fails, look at removing it. Mr. Carmony’s suggestion was to remove the strip now and eliminate the maintenance costs. Mr. Story agreed and suggested putting the $10,000 away and use that money for demote when approval is received from FERC. Mr. Copoulos noted that when they originally came up with the idea of the study, a recommendation was made to remove the road and the thinking was to do a study to show that we can get by without the airstrip there — showing what the other transport options are — what the FERC issues are — and possibly get into the cost issues as well. Mr. Saxton suggested that the fist step be a conversation with FERC. Another idea was to suggest to FERC to put up flags and abandon the strip and no longer maintain it. Mr. Saxton suggested that there needs to be a discussion with FERC stating the facts of costs to maintain, usefulness, safety issues and that we don’t want to open up the process that invites others in to discuss other unrelated items. MOTION: Mr. Griffith motioned to set up a dialogue with FERC about the Martin River airstrip and road before spending other monies on a study. Seconded by Mr. Carmony. A voice vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously. fe NEW BUSINESS E. Incident Investigation Copoulos Mr. Copoulos noted that at the last meeting the O&D committee was asked to provide documentation on the incident that occurred at the Bradley project. Also provided is a restriction supplement to the flight operation guidelines (attachment). Mr. Copoulos noted that this information was provided at the PMC’s request from a prior meeting. Chair Haagenson asked that if other incidents happen, to promptly notify all members of the PMC. 8. COMMITTEE COMMENTS Chair Haagenson requested that the Finance committee look at the $1.2 million anticipated for the governor repair and figure where those monies will come from. Another request to the governor repair committee is to do a benefit analysis as to what the $5 million will be spent on. Mr. Stead also noted that when HEA talked to VA Tech Hydro they asked them for a proposal to fix some of the civil or mechanical problems inside the turbine pit. They will be giving HEA proposals at a later date to do some additional work inside the discharge chamber that will attempt to eliminate some of the splashing and some of the small signal instabilities that are seen on the unit. On their rough order of magnitude costs, it did not approach $1 million for that repair. A. Next Meeting Date Haagenson The next meeting of the Bradley Lake PMC will be at the call of the Chair after negotiations with VA Tech Hydro. 9. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 a.m. BY: Steve Haagenson, Chairman ATTEST: Alaska Energy Authority, Secretary Alaska Industrial Development and Export Aut! AlD a NE /\ Alaska Energy Authority July 8, 2003 Mr. Steve Haagenson Chairman, Bradley Lake PMC Golden Valley Electric Association P.O. Box 71249 Fairbanks, Alaska 99707-1249 Re: Martin River Road Removal Recommendation Dear Steve: The Bradley Lake O&D Committee recommends submitting a license amendment application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and appropriate permit applications (USACOE and Fish Habitat) to restore the Martin River Road to "post project construction conditions" while concurrently closing the Martin River Airstrip. This means the Martin River Road would be removed to ground level, the bridges, bridge approaches, and dyke would be left in place, and the airstrip would be closed (by marking at both ends with large, white Xs) but not removed. Non-motorized access would remain available to the Martin River as long as the dyke remains in place. An estimate to complete this work is approximately $60,000 and is expected to result in a long-term O&M cost savings. Justifications for this recommendation are that the airstrip has not been used for project purposes since it was reactivated in 1996, no future uses have been identified, there are security risks attributable to the difficulty associated with monitoring usage at its isolated location, and concerns about liability, long-term maintenance, and operation costs. The possibility of the Martin River breaching the dyke that currently isolates the river creates a potential O&M cost liability as long as the airstrip is a licensed project feature. The option of abandoning the road, dyke, and air-strip, in place "as-is" was considered; however, it was felt that it may be difficult to obtain FERC approval since that approach would be inconsistent with originally approved project construction permits. Also, removing the road before a naturally occurring dyke breach minimizes the risk that repair procedures are dictated by regulatory agencies under emergency conditions. Contingent on BPMC approval, AEA, in consultation with HEA and the O&D Committee, will prepare preliminary plans, specifications, and drawings and then conduct preliminary, informal discussions with FERC and agencies including a site visit if needed. Assuming FERC and the agencies are supportive of the proposed approach, detailed plans, specifications, drawings, and applications will be prepared and submitted to FERC and the agencies for approval.

If FERC and/or the agencies are not supportive of the proposed approach as determined in preliminary discussions, then the BPMC will be consulted prior to moving forward with a license amendment application. This recommendation is a follow-on to a BPMC directed meeting that included Burke Wick, Ron Saxton, John Cooley, Henri Dale, Jim Thrall, and myself. That meeting reached the same conclusion.

Northern Lights Blvd. Anchorage, AK 99503 Dear Art: HEA requests an $80,000 budget adjustment to Account 544 for the current fiscal year. Two repair projects are scheduled under this account which were not anticipated during the budgeting process. They are the repair of the cracked runner, estimated at $30,000, and replacement of failed transmission relays, estimated at $50,000. The current 544 budget is $288,000. HEA can exceed spending on an account by 10% without prior approval, but the $80,000 request far exceeds this limit. Last year, HEA expended virtually the entire 544 budget on day-to-day operations and expects to do the same this fiscal year. Place call with any questions. Sincerely, HOMER ELECTRIC ASSOCIATION, INC, / Don Stead Manager of Engineering Services F:\ENGR\DPS\BUDGETADJUSTMENTREQUEST.DPS.wpd/js ce: Reading File Rick Eckert Brenda Applegate, AIDEA Mike Cunningham, CEA Claudette Petty, ML&P Henri Dale, GVEA Bradley file 104 A Touchstone Energy* Cooperative «Ex BRADLEY LAKE WATER USE PERMITS AEA holds two water use permits for the Bradley Lake Project. LAS 2836 permits use of water for the Battle Creek diversion, the Middle Fork diversion and from Bradley Lake. LAS 13370 is for use of water from the Nuka pool. Permitted amounts are as given in the attached table. Both these permits have expired. At the time of their expiration AEA submitted letters to DNR, along with the required fee, requesting an extension of the permits. At that time we were told that the applications would be processed as manpower was available and were assured that it would not be a problem to continue with expired permits. Given the status of these permits, and the fact that we now have 10 years of actual use data it may be advantageous to apply for certificates of beneficial use for these water rights. Certificates of beneficial use are, in essence, a property right. It is the intent of DNR, in issuing water use permits that, having demonstrated that the water is being utilized for the beneficial purpose intended the user will eventually convert the permit to a certificate. The certificate issued would have the same priority date assigned the original permit. As shown on the attached table, the project has rarely utilized the amounts of water specified in the permits. This is not due to wasting of water in any way. Rather, the amounts of water requested and granted in the original permits has almost never been available. Thus, it is likely that the certificates we would receive from DNR would be for lower amounts than currently specified in the permits. Gary Prokosch of the DNR has suggested that he issue certificates for an amounts equal to the historic mean, plus one standard deviation. If, in the future, it is shown that we are able to capture and utilize additional water we would be able to apply for a new permit to cover the increase in usage. In such a case this new permit would receive a new priority date. There is some risk, however, that an application for a new permit could open the project to questions by other agencies concerning use of the water resources for other purposes. This risk is not considered to be great as little other interest in the use of Bradley River water resources appears probable.

Box 71249 Fairbanks, Alaska 99707-1249 Subject: Municipality of Anchorage Internal Audit Report 2003-6 dated June 17, 2003 Bradley Lake Operation and Maintenance Costs Municipal Light and Power Dear Mr. Haagenson: The Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) has reviewed Internal Audit Report 2003-6 issued by the Municipality of Anchorage’s Internal Audit Department (ML&P). The Audit’s objective “was to determine whether the charges during 2002 to Municipal Light and Power for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project were in compliance with the operating agreements.” The Audit found that “Generally, the expenditures allocated by AEA in 2002 to the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project were in compliance with the operating agreements.” AEA’s comments on the Report’s Findings follow. The Audit Findings and Recommendations are not reproduced below; please refer to the Audit Report for pertinent information. Finding 1: Year-End Surplus Not Allocated The Finding states “AEA did not return the year-end surplus to the power purchasers as required by Section 13c(ii.E) of the Power Sales Agreement.” ML&P misconstrues AEA’s role. Under Section 13(c)(ii)(E), the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee (PMC) is responsible for determining the treatment of year-end surpluses. AEA can refund excess Annual Payment Obligations only if directed to do so by the PMC. AEA has not received such direction. AEA understands the PMC implemented the current process years ago in order to minimize annual fluctuations in Annual Project Cost payments. Minutes from the January 14, 1993, PMC meeting, for example, indicate that $450,000 of surplus payments had been carried forward from FY 92 to FY 93, and the PMC intended to carry forward the same amount to FY 94 “[t]o avoid large swings in the utility payments from year to year.” Instead of receiving a refund of surplus amounts, each purchasing utility receives full credit for its share of any year-end surplus (including interest at 7.38%) by receiving a reduction in future Annual Project Cost payments, or protection against later cost fluctuations. Under Section 13(c)(ii)(E), AEA may distribute refund checks to Purchasers for surplus funds only when instructed by the PMC to do so. If the PMC decides to alter its long-standing policy to retain surplus funds as a protection against future cost increases. AEA will abide by direction given by the PMC. Finding 2: AEA Not Enforcing Time Limit The Finding states “AEA did not enforce the time limit for billing of services as required by Section 6(B) of the Static Var Compensation System Agreement.” The Recommendation states “ML&P should request that AEA enforce contract requirements for prompt billing.” The Management Comments section indicated Management concurred and stated, “ML&P’s representative on the PMC will refer this issue to 813 West Northern Lights Boulevard * Anchorage, Alaska 99503 907 / 249-3000 * FAX 907 / 9A9-3044 « Toll Free (Al ASKA ONIY) R88 / 300-8534 © nana aides ara Mr. Steve Haagenson September 12, 2003 Page 2 the members and ask that they request that AEA enforce contract requirements for prompt billing.” AEA has also requested and obtained the attached response from Chugach Electric Association. It recommends that the agreement be amended to establish a new billing due date. AEA looks forward to receiving guidance from the PMC regarding what action, if any, should be taken. Finding 3: Inappropriate Expenditure The Finding states “Our review of expenditures found one inappropriate expenditure. Specifically, HEA inappropriately billed the Project $153.50 for an Intertie Operating Committee meeting.” As noted in the Finding, Homer Electric credited the Project for the payment requested in error. HEA has charged the Project for the correct $76.75 expense. ML&P apparently concluded that nothing further need be done with respect to these matters; AEA does not disagree. OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION — Questionable Use of Resources The auditor included the above section on page 6 of the Audit. AEA reviewed HEA’s response to these matters (attached) and found it adequately addressed concerns raised by the auditor.

Northern Lights Anchorage, Alaska 99503 Dear Mr. Copoulos: In the “Bradley Lake Project Internal Audit Report — 2003-6” conducted by the Municipality of Anchorage’s Internal Audit Department and finalized on June 17, 2003 it was noted that “AKA Not Enforcing Time Limit” and discussed two late invoices issued by Chugach to the project for Static Var Compensation (SVC) maintenance work. The agreement stipulates that these invoices would be rendered by the fifteenth of each following month in which the work was performed. Apparently, these two invoices, in the total amount of $137.95 were issued several months after the work was performed. Chugach staff was queried by the auditor concerning the reason for the late invoices and was told that staff turnover in the Plant Accounting Department contributed to the delay. The audit report goes on to find this unacceptable as it may cause financial statement misstatements. When reviewing this recommendation, I must consider the amount in question — which does not appear to be sufficient to cause material misstatement of the financial performance of the project in total. Also, I note that in F/Y 2003, the total amount billed is slightly greater than $20,000 — again not an amount that appears to jeopardize the financial performance of the project. This is not to say that Chugach advocates missing deadlines, as we don’t. However, this deadline may be one we should revisit. We endeavor to close the financial books of Chugach by the 15" working day of the following month, which apparently is the billing deadline according to the agreement. In order to insure timely billing and receipt of billings and noi jeopardize the financial statements of the Bradley Lake project, I propose we change the billing deadline on SVC maintenance work from the 15" of the month following to the 30" of the month following. We will also fax the invoice to a designated point of contact in your office. This will insure we close our books, get a complete accounting of the work and charges and render an invoice to AIDEA for the work in a timely fashion. Please give me your thoughts on this proposal. Lp / Wichadl R. Cunningham, Chief Financial Offiger AIDEA Mr. Art Copoulos 813 W. Northern Lights Blvd. Anchorage, AK 99503 Dear Art: 582003 July 23, 2003 HEA’s response to criticisms presented in the Municipal Light and Power’s Internal Audit 2003-6 is presented below. HEA is aware of its responsibilities to project utilities. HEA contends that it has operated the Bradley Lake facility in a manner consistent with sound utility practice. Part of this commitment is effective utilization of the financial resources available to the project. "several instances where Homer Air made up to four flights a day in and out of the Bradley Lake facility. HEA was not able to explain the number of daily flights to the Bradley Lake facility.". The number of flights per day is not indicative of inefficient use of resources. A simple Friday shift change requires two flights, one bringing crew in the morning and one returning crew to Homer in the afternoon. Frequently, contractors, visitors and utility representatives make day trips to Bradley requiring one, or more flight(s) in and out. The frequency of flights increases in the summer months. HEA maintains two records of these trips; the plant log, and flight manifests. It is highly unlikely that if asked the question, HEA could not justify any flight made to Bradley. HEA requests the particular dates in question so a more definitive response may be developed. "...we noted the use of more expensive air carrier, Smokey Bay Air, for some flights to the Bradley Lake facility." The rate charged by Homer Air was $120/flight. The rate charged by Smokey Bay was $132.50. Smokey Bay was used when Homer Air could not provide adequate service. The $12.50 difference between carriers was considered a minor penalty to incur when compared to minimizing the amount of labor charged to the Project. "...rented a U-Haul truck for 46 days to move materials to renovate a duplex..." The normal charge for a small barge to Bradley is approximately $1600/trip. HEA shipped the U-Haul, with carpet and flooring, and a chipper to Bradley on Sept. 19, 2002. The carpet and flooring was not needed at Bradley for two or three weeks. However, HEA learned that the barge company had non- project related work near the facility. The barge company offered HEA a $506.56 delivery charge if HEA coordinated its delivery with this work. Maximizing project resources, HEA shipped the U-Haul and chipper two weeks early and saved Homer Electric Association, Inc. A Touchstone Energy” Cooperative MN Mr. Art Copoulos July 23, 2003 Page 2 approximately $1100. HEA was left with the U-Haul and chipper to return to Homer once their need at Bradley was fulfilled. The U-Haul was kept at Bradley to coincide with the shipment of the chipper. HEA used one barge trip instead of two and saved approximately $200. HEA is required by State mandate to transport 3500# of employee household goods to the site when an employee is assigned to Bradley and a like 3500# back to Homer once the permanent assignment to Bradley ends. HEA coordinated this responsibility with the carpet shipment and saved two additional barge trips or $3200. HEA is committed to administrating the Bradley Lake O&M contract in a professional and efficient manner.

LAS 2836 allows use of water from the Nuka pool, the Middle Fork diversion and the remainder of the Bradley Lake drainage basin. LAS 13370 allows the use of water from the Battle Creek diversion. Permitted amounts and actual historical use are given in the table below. As shown, the project has rarely utilized the amount of water specified in the permits. This is not due to wasting of water. Rather, the amounts requested and granted in the original permits has almost never been available. BRADLEY LAKE WATER RIGHTS Amount Permitted Historical Use Battle Creek (13370) 7,250 ac ft/yr 2,970 ac ft/yr Middle Fork (2836) 100 cfs 54 cfs Nuka Pool (2836) 248 cfs 125 cfs Power House (2836) 750 cfs 535 cfs Both permits have expired. At the time of their expiration AEA submitted letters to DNR, along with the required fee, requesting permit extensions. At that time we were told that the applications would be processed as manpower was available and were assured that it would not be a problem to continue with expired permits. Given the status of the permits, and the fact that 10 years of actual use data are available, AEA proposes to apply for Certificates of Beneficial Use (CBU) for these water rights. A CBUis, in essence, a property right. It is the intent of DNR, in issuing water use permits that, having demonstrated that water is being utilized for the beneficial purpose intended the user will convert the permit toa CBU. The CBUs issued for Bradley Lake would have the same priority date assigned the original permit. As the project has consistently used less water than permitted, the CBUs will be for lower amounts than currently specified in the permits. In preliminary discussions, Gary Prokosch of the Water Resources Section of DNR has indicated that his approach would be to issue CBUs in amounts equal to the mean historical use plus one standard deviation of the mean (see below). He also re-affirmed that periodic annual use of water in amounts greater than specified in the CBU is not a problem, as long average use remains near the specified amount.
