Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA. The project is a waste heat recovery project connecting Borough buildings to the power plant source in the village of Point Lay Alaska. The village of Point Lay will benefit from a waste heat line in lieu of individual diesel fuel heating appliances in every facility as primary heat sources. It is a very efficient and reliable heating system utilizing waste heat from the power plant that otherwise would be dispersed into the atmosphere. The heating season in Point Lay is frequently twelve months a year. This project falls under the category of Design and Permitting, and Construction. 2.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Provide a one paragraph description of your project. At a minimum include the project location, communities to be served, and who will be involved in the grant project. The NSB recently commissioned an update of the Project Analysis Report (feasibility study) entitled "Village Heat Recovery" dated February 2006. The prior study assessed the previously constructed waste lines and costs associated with waste heat utilization in Arctic and/or permafrost conditions in six NSB villages. The study verified that use of waste heat could reduce or replace dependence on diesel fuel for its heating needs in NSB area wide villages. With rising fuel costs, it is now feasible to install waste heat lines in Point Lay. This application requests funds to cover the following expenses: • Design and construction administration services • Construction cost estimates • Construction costs • NSB employee training in operating and maintaining waste heat systems The North Slope Borough will be the primary participant and will utilize internal expertise and retain external consultants and contractors that have special expertise in designing waste heat pipe lines, connecting building heating plants to the pipe lines, and recommending operations and maintenance schedules. 2.3 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. Include a project cost summary that includes an estimated total cost through construction. The North Slope Borough is seeking $3,995,116 from the AEA Renewable Energy Fund for this design and construction project. Please see attached budget worksheet.

AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 5 of 11 9/6/2008 Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application 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 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 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 The project will design and install a waste heat line from the new Point Lay power plant to Borough owned facilities. In each facility, connection to the heat distribution system is required. r4 -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. _ J Currently in use in each Borough facility are fuel oil fired heating appliances. This project will supplement existing systems with a waste heat exchanger. There are nine NSB buildings to be connected. All were constructed or remodeled within the last 20 years and contain commercial grade fuel oil burning boilers for heat. 1. Water treatment building 2. Water storage 3. Wastewater treatment building 4. Warm storage 5. School 6. Washeteria 7. Public Safety Office 8. Fire Station 9. Health clinic 4.2.2 Existing Energy Resources Used Briefly discuss your understanding of the existing energy resources. Include a brief discussion of any impact the aroiect may have on existing enerav infrastructure and resources. The existing energy resource used for Point Lay is diesel fuel. The cost of diesel is higher than urban Alaska because it has to barged or flown into the village. The current landed cost in Barrow is $4.43 per gallon. There is additional cost for operations and maintenance of the fuel system and delivery. AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 6 of 11 9/6/2008 Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application 4.2.3 Existing Energy Market Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy customers. Fuel oil in Point Lay is delivered once annually by barge. Fuel storage tanks must be sized to accommodate a year's worth of fuel for the residential community as well as Borough facilities. By reducing the dependence on fuel oil for heating appliances, there will be less strain on fuel infrastructure and may permit a larger safety factor for residential use in having more fuel available. 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 The system will consist of Arctic pipe made of two layers of pipe with 4 inches of foam insulation between them. The portion of the waste heat line that will be underground requires a trench, leveling material, and additional insulation to protect the permafrost. Raised portions of the line will be mounted on piling set into the tundra. Glycol heated in marine manifolds on the generators in the power plant flows through the pipe line and the heat is recovered at each facility via a heat exchanger. The connections at each building will vary with type of existing heat supply. The power plant is calculated as producing a maximum of 2,273,664 BTU/hr with the maximum demand at 6,164,784 BTU/hr that results in a shortage of waste heat to cover all buildings in the potential maximum demand period. 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. Land used in the placement of the pipe line will be public easements in roadways or in adjacent Borough owned lots. 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 North Slope Borough Development Permit.
