August 25, 2011 Qutekcak Native Tribe 221 Third Avenue Seward, AK 99664 Re: Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Seward Schools Biomass Heating System Feasibility Study Alaska Energy Authority, This letter is to express our support for the Seward Schools Biomass Heating Systems project. The escalating costs of heating fuel make renewable energy options increasingly attractive, especially to schools and other public buildings. We are interested in the potential for cost savings and cost stability, along with the economic benefits of using more localized and renewable fuels for heat. We support the School District in applying for a grant from Alaska Energy Authority through the Renewable Energy Fund Round V, to conduct a Feasibility Study on the use of biomass heating systems for the Seward schools. The Qutekcak Native Tribe is very aware of the need to diminish our carbon footprint on this planet and are working to become a greener workplace with the use of green cleaning products, recycling paper and rubbish, as well as trying to use recycled products whenever possible.
