2.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a brief one paragraph description of your proposed project.
This project will complete a study to determine the feasibility of a biomass fuel system for
the existing water treatment plant (WTP) and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in
Klawock, Alaska. It is proposed that a biomass heating system will be used to heat the
WTP/W WTP buildings and supply heat to other ancillary building components that require a
heat source. Resources for the City to supply the proposed biomass systern are readily
available in and around the community of Klawock and throughout Prince of Wales Island,
on which Klawock is located. This study will demonstrate the cost savings that will be
associated with the implementation of a biomass fuel system at the City's WTP and WWTP.

The project will complete the following tasks:
• Determine the amount of energy required for both facilities;
• Estimate the long-term viability of the proposed project based on expected load growth;
• Provide a conceptual -level system design;
• Prepare a conceptual -level cost estimate for the construction effort and the operations
and maintenance of the proposed system;
• Identify easements and permits required;
• Prepare a comprehensive economical analyses of alternatives for selection by the City;
• Update the utility business plan; and
• Make a recommendation to move forward with the project design activities.
2.5 PROJECT BENEFIT
Briefly discuss the financial and public benefits that will result from this project, (such as reduced fuel
costs, lower energy costs, etc.)
The City's WTP and WWTP are two of our community's Iargest energy consumers. This is
typical of water and wastewater systems in arctic and subarctic villages. As such, investing in
renewable energy resources would be beneficial to the City and result directly in reduced
utility user rate fees to our utility customers through reduced operation and maintenance
costs. Because the area around Klawock is heavily forested, it is highly likely that a biomass
system would be a viable and more renewable alternative to the heating systems currently in
use at the WTP and WWTP. The adjacent City of Craig has already demonstrated the benefit
of utilizing biomass energy technology in the area, and several of Craig's community
buildings already have this technology implemented.
2.6 PROJECT BUDGET OVERVIEW
Briefly discuss the amount of funds needed, the anticipated sources of funds, and the nature and source
ofother contributions to the project.
It is estimated that approximately $112,000 will be required to complete the City WTP and
WWTP Biomass Feasibility Study. ANTHC has committed to providing $12,000 of this cost
in the form project management (labor and travel). The remaining $100,000 is being

550 Summit Street
P.O. Box 469
Klawock, Alaska 99925
Dear Mayor Marvin:
Re: Letter of Commitment for matching funds to a proposal for Alaska Energy Authority,
Renewable Energy Funds Round V.
This letter has been prepared to notify the City of Klawock that it is with great pleasure that the
Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), Division of Environmental Health and
Engineering (DEHE) is partnering with the City in the development of the proposed biomass
feasibility study project grant to the Renewable Energy Fund of the Alaska Energy Authority
(AEA). The City's project for a biomass study for the water and wastewater treatment plants is
one of exceptional importance to the future energy needs of the community, associated water and
sewer user rate fees and one that ANTHC DEHE fully supports.
In support of your project, ANTHC DEHE will commit $12,000 as an in -kind match in the form
of personnel and travel costs for the assigned ANTHC project manager. The matching funds will
be tracked and reported to you, as required for purposes of quarterly reporting to AEA, if the
City is awarded the grant.
We wish you every success on your grant proposal and look forward to working with you on this
important project.
Sincerely,
bv\-WLOI�
