Re: Native Village of Cantwell Jack River Hydro -Feasibility Study
Dear Mr. Haagenson:
Ahtna, Incorporated supports and asks the State for funding the Native Village of Cantwell to
conduct a feasibility study on the lack River hydro -electric potential.
As you are already aware Douglas Ott, AEA Hydroelectric Program Manager and Earle
Ausman, Professional Engineer with polarconsult visited the Jack River in 2008 and initially
determined the site to be conducive for a hydro -electric plant.
It is vitally important for the State of Alaska, Native Village of Cantwell and Ahtna to develop
this highly accessible site for the rail belt communities.
Thank you for your support of this project and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
further questions.
Sincerely,
Ikatiiryn Martin
