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.)
Our community will directly benefit from this project. A heat recovery system will significantly
lower the amount of fuel oil the water treatment plant needs to keep the water system running
during the winter. Currently, the water treatment plant burns fuel oil to heat the facility, water
storage tank, and water circulation mains. Reduced fuel oil use will translate to reduced
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. The reduced utility costs will help to sustain this
important public health service, because all of these costs are borne by our community's users
and residents. The cost savings realized as a result of the heat recovery system will be passed on
to the consumers, including the school.
2.6 PROJECT BUDGET OVERVIEW
Briefly discuss the amount of funds needed, the anticipated sources of funds, and the nature and source
of other contributions to the project.
This feasibility study and conceptual design will cost $30,000. Of this, $27,000, or 90% of the
project estimate, is requested from AEA. Of the remaining $3,000, $1,500 will be provided as in -
kind contributions from the City of White Mountain as documented by a City resolution and
another $1,500 will be contributed by the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) to
fund the project management effort for the project.
The City does have an existing AEA Energy Conservation grant for FY 2010, but this grant is
being applied to other energy conservation efforts for City buildings.

3.3 Project Milestones
The project will be executed according to the schedule presented in the previous section. The
key decision points in this project include the energy resource analysis and the detailed
economic analysis. If sufficient heat is not available or if the project does not make economic
sense with respect to the benefit versus capital costs, the project will be discontinued and ruled
infeasible.
The initial energy resource analysis will provide sufficient data to determine the amount of
heat available for reuse and the feasibility of recovering and using that energy.
The detailed economic and financial analysis will provide sufficient data on the anticipated
capital improvement cost versus the benefit to the community to calculate a payback
timeframe. If found to be infeasible, the project will be discontinued.

SECTION 4 — PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND TASKS
• Tell us what the project is and how you will meet the requirements outlined in Section 2 of
the RFA.
• The level of information will vary according to phase(s) of the project you propose to
undertake with grant funds.
• If you are applying for grant funding for more than one phase of a project provide a
plan and grant budget form for completion of each phase.
• If some work has already been completed on your project and you are requesting funding for
an advanced phase, submit information sufficient to demonstrate that the preceding phases
are satisfied and funding for an advanced phase is warranted.
4.1 Proposed Energy Resource
Describe the potential extent/amount of the energy resource that is available.
Discuss the pros and cons of your proposed energy resource vs. other alternatives that may be
available for the market to be served by your project.
Waste heat is a free and constant byproduct of diesel -powered electrical generators. If not
recovered for beneficial use, this heat is expelled to the atmosphere via large radiators. This
feasibility study will determine if this otherwise wasted energy can be effectively and efficiently
used to offset fuel consumption at the water treatment plant and other community facilities and
will determine the extent of diesel fuel savings available through the use of recovered heat.
Other means to provide the expected fuel savings for the community facility are unknown. Cons
will be listed in the study.
Pros of Project, based on experiences in similar communities with recovered heat:
• Excellent project payback
• Minimal costs for heat recovery system operation and maintenance
• Reduced dependence on diesel fuel and potential for fuel spills
• Reduced emissions and air pollution
• More stable electric rates
• New jobs and a more sustainable economy for local people and businesses

4.2 Existing Energy System
4.2.1 Basic configuration of Existing Energy System
Briefly discuss the basic configuration of the existing energy system. Include information about
the number, size, age, efficiency, and type of generation.
The existing power plant, owned by the City of White Mountain, generates electricity using three
diesel generators. The plant has an energy output of 52 to 134 kW. Average production is 75 kW
in the summer and 100 kW in the winter. The plant consumes fuel at an average rate of 4,950
gallons per month. The power plant is the sole producer of electricity for the City.
Two fuel -fired boilers comprise the water treatment plant's existing heating system and provide
heat for the building, the water storage tank, and the water circulating water distribution line. The
water treatment plant consumes approximately 11,400 gallons of fuel oil annually. This feasibility
study will determine the specific detailed configuration of the water treatment plant heating
system and how heat recovery equipment can be integrated into the system.
4.2.2 Existing Energy Resources Used
Briefly discuss your understanding of the existing energy resources. Include a brief discussion of
any impact the project may have on existing energy infrastructure and resources.
The City of White Mountain purchases our fuel through the Norton Sound Economic
Development Corporation. A barge delivers the fuel once per year. This project may result in a
smaller amount of fuel being delivered to the City each year.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
The power plant consumes approximately 59,400 gallons of fuel oil per year and the water
treatment plant consumes approximately 11,400 gallons per year, for a total consumption of
70,800 gallons. The current cost of electricity generation is $0.71 kW, and user fees for the water
treatment plant are $69 per month for water service and $36 per month for sewer service. This
project's goal is to reduce overall fuel oil use.

renewable energy project
• Anticipated annual revenue (based on i.e. a Proposed Power Purchase Agreement price,
RCA tariff, or cost based rate)
• Potential additional annual incentives (i.e. tax credits)
• Potential additional annual revenue streams (i.e. green tag sales or other renewable
energy subsidies or programs that might be available)
• Discuss the non -economic public benefits to Alaskans over the lifetime of the project
Potential Annual Fuel Displacement
This feasibility study will estimate the annual fuel displacement the City utility can realize by
using a heat recovery system on our own power plant. Current annual fuel consumption at the
water treatment plant is approximately 11,400 gallons. The study will document estimated
savings, which are expected to be above 75%.
Anticipated Annual Revenue
This project will not result in accumulation of additional revenue for the City since both facilities
are already owned by the City.
Potential Additional Annual Incentives and Revenue Streams
Unknown at this time
Non -Economic Public Benefit: Energy
Energy needs typically comprise 30 to 60 percent of a community's water system operating costs
and up to 30 percent of a community's total energy. If determined feasible, this project would
significantly reduce the amount of oil that communities have to purchase and, in turn, reduce the
carbon footprint of the community.
SECTION 6— SUSTAINABILITY
Discuss your plan for operating the completed project so that it will be sustainable.
Include at a minimum:
• Proposed business structure(s) and concepts that may be considered.

Dear Mayor Harrelson:
Re- Leger of Support
The Native Village of White Mountain would like to express our support for a heat recovery
grant application the City of White Mountain is submitting to The Alaska Energy Authority, Our
members would benefit greatly from transferring heat produced by the generators at the city
power plant to the water utility_ The cost of fiiel in rural Alaska is constantly increasing_ If this
project is successful. the City of White Mountain would bum less fuel improving our
sustainability and reducing the cost of our monthly water and sewer bills. For those reasons, we
fully support this project and would like it to be funded.
Sincerely,
Lin.co n M. �Simansr.
