2.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a brief one paragraph description of your proposed project.
The City of Golovin in partnership with the Alaska Native Tribal health Consortium (ANTHC) is
seeking to determine the feasibility if installing wind turbines in the community for heating the
water treatment facilities.
Golovin currently stores approximately 2 million gallons of treated water to provide safe
drinking water to community residents. In addition, Golovin's water storage is due to increase to
approximately 3 million gallons in two years with the construction of a new water storage tank,
which will serve homes that currently do not have running water. This stored water, as well as
the community piped water distribution system, is heated using multiple oil -fired boilers. The
energy requirement and fuel consumption to keep this water from freezing each year is extremely
high, and escalating fuel price have the potential to limit Golovin's ability to provide adequate
sanitation services to its residents due to prohibitive heating costs.

The Honorable Kathy Fagerstrom
Mayor, City of Golovin
P.O. Box 62059
Golovin, AK 99762
Dear Mayor Fagerstrom:
Re: Letter of Commitment for matching funds to a proposal for Alaska Energy Authority,
Renewable Energy Funds Round V.
It is with pleasure that the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC), Division of
Environmental Health and Engineering (DEHE) is partnering with City of Golovin in your
proposed project to the Renewable Energy Fund of the Alaska Energy Authority. Your project,
Golovin Wind Feasibility Study, is one of exceptional importance to the future energy needs of
your community and one that ANTHC DEHE fully supports.
In support of your project ANTHC DEHE will commit $13,800 as an in -kind match in the form
of project management services. The matching funds will be tracked and reported to you, as
required for purposes of quarterly reporting to the Alaska Energy Authority, in the event that
they award you the project.
We wish you every success on your proposal and look forward to working with you on this
important project.
Sincerely,
Z IMLMWJA27C�

City of Golovin
P.O. Box 62059
Golovin, AK 99762
To Whom It May Concern:
The Chinik Eskimo Community is pleased to support the City of Golovin in the proposal for the Renewable Energy Fund
Round 5 grant funding. Currently, our community's water storage tank requires a significant amount of fuel each year for
heating. The proposed wind energy to heat project being applied for will pave the way for design and construction of a
wind turbine system. Given the extremely high cost of fuel in rural Alaska, this project is one of Golovin's top priorities.
A future wind turbine system will dramatically reduce heating costs related to our community's water and sewer system.
In addition, the anticipated operation savings will allow for lower utility fees and a reduced cost of living for Golovin's
residents. For these reasons, we fully support this grant application.
Sincerely,
CEC President

Mayor, City of Golovin

Golovin, Alaska 99762
Dear Mayor Fagerstrom:
Re: Support Letter for the Golovin Wind Feasibility Study
The Alaska Rural Utility Collaborative (ARUC) has partnered with Golovin to provide
water/sewer system operation and maintenance for the community. ARUC fully supports
the City of Golovin's Alaska Energy Authority grant application for a study to investigate
wind power to provide heat and power in the water and sewer utilities. We've seen
similar alternative energy projects lead to reduced heating costs in other ARUC
water/sewer facilities. This translates directly into to lower monthly water bills for local
residents, schools, and businesses. We see this as a way to make communities more self-
sufficient, and of reducing the burning of very expensive heating fuel. With the high cost
of energy and living in this rural community, anything that can be done to reduce energy
usage and utility costs to local residents is critical.
In summary, we fully support this grant application.
Sirfielrely,q
Jo Nichols
ARUC Manager
