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 public will benefit from this project by having a hands-on model to see and learn about the
application of solar thermal and wood pellet boiler systems for heat. Upon completion of this
project, the annual fuel displacement would be approximately 1,818 gallons of diesel fuel per
year, which at a cost of $3.94/gal would amount to $7,163/year; and an annual displacement of
approximately 1,022 gallons of propane annually, which at a cost of $4.259/gal would amount to
$4,353 per year, for a total of $11,560 per year in displaced fuel costs. The reduction in
hydrocarbon use would significantly reduce our carbon footprint, benefit the public's health and
safety by improved air quality and decrease the carbon dioxide contribution to climate change.
The public benefit will be that this project will be a model for the community on how you limit
or eliminate fossil fuel usage by using a wood pellet boiler and a solar thermal system and
showcase the money that can be saved.

The Project Manager, Jim Shaginoff has many years managing projects in the oilfields with Arco
Alaska Inc. and Alyeska Pipeline Service Company. Recently Jim has managed the Uk'e Kole
(No Footprint) Energy Project for Chickaloon Village Traditional Council, during which time he
completed a 23-credit Renewable Energy course at Mat -Su College with a 4.0 grade point
average.
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council's Facility Department will construct the necessary
building addition to house the boiler system.
A qualified contractor or contractors will be solicited for the Chickaloon Solar Thermal and
Biomass Project. Chickaloon Village Traditional Council's procurement policy will be followed
for soliciting bids from contractors. Alaskan businesses with experience who will be asked to
submit proposals include: Smart Energy Works, 108 E. Arctic Ave, Palmer, AK. 99645 Office:
907-746-0060 for solar thermal installation; and Frontier Heating and Repair Phone: 907-232-
8592 for wood pellet boiler installation, as well as other interested contractors.
3.5 Project Communications
Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status.
unce project tends are released, Chickaloon Village Traditional Council will begin bi-weekly
project team meetings involving the Project Manager, Jim Shaginoff, the Environmental
Stewardship Department Director, Jessica Winnestaffer, and the Facilities Department staff
members. These meetings will help ensure that all tasks are being accomplished as anticipated
and current and future aspects of the project will be discussed. Project meetings will be
summarized for quarterly reports that will be submitted to AEA. Chickaloon Village Traditional
Council intends for this to be a successful, transparent and collaborative project.
3.6 Project Risk
Discuss potential problems and how you would address them.
One potential problem is the delay of materials that are ordered. In an attempt to mitigate for
slow shipping systems we have allocated extra time to gather materials and to install the systems
that are not readily available at the local building material supply stores. In addition, we intend
to communicate our planned order at the earliest opportunity upon notification of a funding
award.
Another potential problem would be if we received no bids for the contracts. To mitigate for this
concern we will notify potential contractors in the area at the earliest opportunity upon
notification of a funding award.
Another potential problem is a leak in the heating system. The heating system pipes contain
propylene glycol, which is non -toxic and biodegradable. If a leak does occur it will not affect the
environment or the staff members who work in the area however there may be a delay in the
project until the leak is fixed.

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

4.1 Proposed Energy Resource
Describe the potential extentlamount 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.
Active solar heating is most commonly used to provide heating applications using the sun's
energy to residences and businesses. Thermal solar energy is a very efficient way to use the sun's
energy beneficially in our buildings in Alaska. In active solar heating applications, heat from the
sun is collected, stored and used primarily for domestic hot water and radiant heat. In recent
years, combined wood and solar thermal systems have proven successful in Alaska. The Ionia
Community in Kasilof, Alaska has been using a combined system since 2009 for heating their
community buildings. Our site for the solar thermal panels faces due south and it is anticipated
that the solar thermal panels will supplement the wood pellet boiler system for six months of the
year and the solar thermal system will be the exclusive heating system for at least five months of
the year.
The 40 ft x 80 ft Shop/Environmental Building has in -floor radiant heat on the ground floor,
which is a great asset for solar thermal and wood pellet boiler heating due to the fact that radiant
floors require lower temperatures (1000 f) as opposed to baseboard registers (140' f). Baseboard
registers are the heating source for the much smaller upstairs offices of the same building.
Pellets may be purchased and supplied from a local building supply store (such as Lowe's) or by
Superior Wood Pellet Fuels in North Pole, Alaska, which delivers in bulk and in bags.
Additionally, Gulkana Village has a small pellet plant, which they plan to expand so it would be a
possible future source of wood pellets. In the future there may be enough local demand to develop
a pellet manufacturing plant in the south-central region of Alaska.
Hydro power is not available at this location and solar voltaic is limited by high costs of the
materials and supplies. Wind power is a potential for this site, however more studies must be
conducted before making a final determination on its appropriateness at this location.
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 energy system for the 40 x 80 Shop/Environmental Building (3,200 sq ft) consists of
AEA12-001 Grant Application Page 8 of 16 7/1//2011
ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund
® ENERGY AUTHORITY Grant Application Round 5
a Weil McClain boiler at 158,000 BTUs, is approximately 15 years old with efficiency of 84.8%
and a Toyotomi om-180, that is approximately 2 years old with an efficiency of 88% at 148,000
BTUs these two systems use approximately 1,808 gal/year of heating oil. The energy system for
the adjacent Administration Building (1,160 sq ft) consists of a propane heater, which uses 1,022
gal/year of propane.
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.
Existing energy resources for heating are heating oil for boilers, forced air furnaces, a Toyotomi
vented heating system, and propane for a propane heater. The fuel oil and propane are supplied
by local fuel companies, which employ local residents. Chickaloon Village Traditional Council is
one of many customers in the region. Natural gas is not available in Sutton.
With the solar thermal and wood pellet boiler system the heating oil usage would drop from 1,808
gal/year to 0/year, and propane usage from 1,022 gal/year to 0/year. There is no foreseeable
adverse impact to the energy infrastructure.
4.2.3 Existing Energy Market
Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy
customers.
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council (CVTC) owns the Shop/Environmental Building and the
Administration Building. CVTC's long-term goal is to protect, enhance, and restore ancestral
lands, water and air and ensure respectful, healthy development by reducing our reliance on fossil
fuels.
The impact of this solar thermal and wood pellet boiler system would be to reduce annual fuel
usage from approximately 1,818 gallons of fuel oil and 1,022 gallons of propane to 0 gallons of
both fuels. The potential decline in usage of fuel oil and propane will likely not affect any other
energy customers directly. However, the project will be a model for the public to learn from and
it may indirectly impact the development of more solar thermal and wood pellet boiler systems in
the region. Most people in the Sutton area burn fuel oil or cordwood, as natural gas is not
available. This project would be a good example of how to use energy efficient wood pellets and
solar thermal heat to replace the use of expensive and non-renewable fossil fuels. There is no
foreseeable adverse impact to other energy customers.
Other energy customers and the global community will benefit from the decreased emissions of
carbon dioxide (CO2). Based on 22.384 lb of CO2 per gallon of heating oil and 12.17 lbs of CO2
per gallon of propane, the emissions would be reduced from 53,132 lbs of CO2 released with the
current heating system to a very small amount produced by the burning of wood pellets.
CO2 production when burning wood pellets compared to other fuels per KiiloWatt Hour of
heat produced (g/kWh)
• 34g wood pellets
• 211g gas
• 304g oil
• 433g electricity

Even allowing for carbon dioxide emissions produced by fossil fuels used to make the energy
needed for planting, harvesting, processing and transporting the fuel, replacing fossil fuel with
wood pellet fuel will typically reduce net COZ emissions by over 90%.
4.3 Proposed System
Include information necessary to describe the system you are intending to develop and address
potential system design, land ownership, permits, and environmental issues.
4.3.1 System Design
Provide the following information for the proposed renewable energy system:
• A description of renewable energy technology specific to project location
• Optimum installed capacity
• Anticipated capacity factor
• Anticipated annual generation
• Anticipated barriers
• Basic integration concept
• Delivery methods
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council proposes to purchase and install a solar thermal and wood
pellet boiler combination heating system for two existing buildings.
Renewable energy technology - Solar thermal energy (STE) is a technology for harnessing
solar energy for thermal heat. Medium -temperature collectors are usually flat plates that are used
for heating water or air for residential and commercial use.
A wood pellet boiler system consists of a silo, which can either be glass fiber for outdoor
installation or fiberboard for indoors. The pellets are transported from the base of the silo by a
worm drive to the boiler room directly to a cell sluice, and then into the boiler combustion hearth.
The boiler then heats the water or glycol used for your heat medium.
Optimum installed capacity/Anticipated Capacity Factor/Annual Generation — With the
combination of the solar thermal and wood pellet boiler system the heating capacity is expected to
be 100%, solar thermal providing approximately 17% and the wood pellet boiler providing 83%.
Anticipated Barriers — The weather could be a factor if the project was started in the winter
months otherwise it shouldn't present a problem. The other barrier would be getting all the
material in a timely manner.
Basic integration concept/Delivery methods — Conceptual design, to be completed as a part of
this project, would detail how the solar thermal and wood pellet boiler would be tied together into
heating a common water tank.
Delivery Methods — wood pellets would be transported by a supplier bulk hauling truck. Superior
Wood Pellet Fuels in North Pole, Alaska delivers in bulk and in bags. Gulkana Village has a
small pellet plant, which they plan to expand so it would be a possible future source of wood
pellets.

4.3.2 Land Ownership
Identify potential land ownership issues, including whether site owners have agreed to the
project or how you intend to approach land ownership and access issues.
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council (CVTC) is the sole owner of this property and the CVTC
supports this Solar Thermal and Biomass Project.
4.3.3 Permits
Provide the following information as it may relate to permitting and how you intend to address
outstanding permit issues.
• List of applicable permits
• Anticipated permitting timeline
• Identify and discussion of potential barriers
There are no permits needed for this Chickaloon Solar Thermal and Biomass Project.
4.3.4 Environmental
Address whether the following environmental and land use issues apply, and if so how they will
be addressed:
• Threatened or Endangered species
• Habitat issues
• Wetlands and other protected areas
• Archaeological and historical resources
• Land development constraints
• Telecommunications interference
• Aviation considerations
• Visual, aesthetics impacts
• Identify and discuss other potential barriers
There are very few environmental concerns with the solar thermal and wood pellet boiler system.
Wood pellet boilers, have low pollutant emissions. They are a substantial improvement over the
traditional wood burning fireplaces and stoves, which emit hundreds of different types pollutants
into the air and are known to harm indoor and outdoor air quality. The visual impact of solar
thermal panels would be minimal, as they would be mounted directly to an existing building.
The land upon which this proposed project would take place has been disturbed for decades, as it
is a long-time gravel pit. Therefore the proposed project would not negatively impact threatened
or endangered species, natural wildlife habitats, wetlands or other protected areas, archaeological
or historical resources, telecommunications interference, aviation considerations, or land
development constraints. There are no identified potential barriers due to the site location.
4.4 Proposed New System Costs and Projected Revenues

SECTION 5— PROJECT BENEFIT
Explain the economic and public benefits of your project. Include direct cost savings,
and how the people of Alaska will benefit from the project.
The benefits information should include the following:
• Potential annual fuel displacement (gal and $) over the lifetime of the evaluated
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
The addition to the solar thermal system and wood pellet boiler system becoming a major part of
our heating system our present cost of fuel oil is 1,818gal x $3.94/gal = $7,163 and the cost of
propane is 1,022gal x $4.259 = $4,353. For a total fuel cost of $11,516 per year. The cost of wood
pellets would be approximately $250.00/ton x 15 tons = $3,750.00 per year. The annual cost
savings would be approximately $7,766.00.
The public benefit of this project is that Chickaloon Village Traditional Council will use it as
model for the community and region to learn how to limit or eliminate fossil fuel usage by using a
wood pellet boiler and a solar thermal heating system. Additionally the air will be cleaner with
less emissions being released due to this project.
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.
• How you propose to finance the maintenance and operations for the life of the project
• Identification of operational issues that could arise.
• A description of operational costs including on -going support for any back-up or existing
systems that may be require to continue operation
• Commitment to reporting the savings and benefits
The addition of the solar thermal system and wood pellet boiler system will replace our existing
expensive and relatively polluting heating system with an efficient and clean system using
renewable resources. The annual cost savings would be approximately $7,766.00 and this will
provide additional financial resources to put toward other community -based projects. Once
operational the Facilities Department will operate and maintain the system with funds earned from
rent and other program funds.
Startup problems that may occur are not anticipated and we will continue to look forward to
preventing issues from arising. Reporting savings and benefits will be added to the duties of the
Facilities Department staff members and the savings would also provide funds for any additional
maintenance that may arise. The system that is currently in place will be our backup system and
will require minimal maintenance

SECTION 7 — READINESS & COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER GRANTS
Discuss what you have done to prepare for this award and how quickly you intend to proceed
with work once your grant is approved.
Tell us what you may have already accomplished on the project to date and identify other grants
that may have been previously awarded for this project and the degree you have been able to
meet the requirements of previous grants.
In 2010, with a grant from the Department of Energy we hired YourCleanEnergy LLC to conduct
an energy audit on all of the Chickaloon Village Traditional Council buildings. This DOE grant
was successfully implemented and we met all of the requirements of the grant. It was an
addendum to the Chickaloon Village energy audit that recommended this solar thermal and wood
boiler combination system and developed the design and project specifications.
We are eager to implement this project and begin to document the benefits and savings.
Consequently, we plan to proceed with organizing the project as soon as notification is received
of an award. The sooner we can develop our request for proposals and our purchase list, the
faster we can begin moving when the award paperwork is completed.
SECTION 8— LOCAL SUPORT
Discuss what local support or possible opposition there may be regarding your project. Include
letters of support from the community that would benefit from this project.
The Chickaloon Village Traditional Council is highly supportive of this Chickaloon Solar
Thermal and Biomass Project and has committed to providing the funds necessary to cover the
Administrative Indirect Costs (approximately $35,000) toward the completion of this project.
There are numerous individuals in the community who are eager to learn from this model project
and who have participated in the other renewable energy projects and activities of Chickaloon
Village Traditional Council. There is no foreseeable opposition to this project and there are only
anticipated collaborators, partners and `students' from within the community who are eager to
learn and participate in the development of this project.
Please see letters of support from Brian Winnestaffer, Nancy Dryden, and Diana Hanson
SECTION 9 — GRANT BUDGET
Tell us how much you want in grant funds Include any investments to date and funding sources,
how much is being requested in grant funds, and additional investments you will make as an
applicant.
Include an estimate of budget costs by milestones using the form — GrantBudget5.doc
We are requesting $127,065.00 and we will invest approximately an additional $35,000 to obtain
a solar thermal system, wood pellet boiler and construct a building addition to house the wood
pellet boiler, water tank and wood pellet silo. In 2010 YourCleanEnergy LLC completed an
Energy Audit on Chickaloon Village Traditional Council buildings and one of their
recommendations was to install this combination heating system.

Re: Chickaloon Village Traditional Council Solar Thermal and Biomass Project
Dear CVTC,
I am a community member and I would love to see the solar thermal and wood
pellet heating system receive funding from the Alaska Energy Authority
Renewable Energy Fund. Jim Shaginoff has been an asset to the community by
being available to teach community members how to use and install renewable
energy systems. I would like to consider a change in my house from fuel oil and
wood stove heating to solar thermal. This proposed project will give me an
example of how it can be done and it will show me what the cost savings could
be. Plus with Jim teaching us how to do this in our homes, we will be ready to try
it out.
I am very supportive of this project and I look forward to seeing it completed.
Sincerely,

Re: Solar Thermal and Wood Pellet Boiler Heating System
Dear Chickaloon Village Traditional Council,
I am very eager to participate in the Chickaloon Solar Thermal and Wood Pellet Boiler
Heating System Project. I am a community member and I am interested in learning as
much as I can about renewable energy methods so that I can consider using them in my
home. I look forward to seeing the project develop in Sutton and I look forward to
learning from the project and the project staff.
I hope to install a personal system that uses renewable energy to heat my home in
Sutton, to minimize the cost of heating fuel, which I am currently using.
Thank you very much and I hope your project gets funded.
Cheers,
Brian 'Winnestaffer

Re: Chickaloon Village Traditional Council Solar Thermal and Biomass Project
To Whom It May Concern;
As a Sutton community member I fully support the Solar Thermal and Biomass Project
and am eager to participate in learning as much as I can about renewable energy
methods that I can use in my home to replace or supplement my fuel oil furnace.
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council has always been a leader in the community for
exploring renewable energy methods and not only by implementing them for their own
use but by sharing the information with all Sutton area community members. An
example of this is the Four Seasons Greenhouse. I found the greenhouse to be an
extremely helpful learning tool with the examples of Wind and Solar energy and the
unique "peak through" walls constructed so visitors could see the recycled plastic straw
bale insulation.
I look forward to learning more renewable energy methods from Chickaloon Village
Traditional Council so I can apply what I learn to my own home to save money and
energy.
Sincerely,
