SECTION 2 — PROJECT SUMMARY Il
1` Provide a brief 1-2 page overview of your project.
2.1 PROJECT TYPE
Describe the type of project you are proposing, (Reconnaissance; Resource Assessment/Feasibility
Analysis/Conceptual Design; Final Design and Permitting; and/or Construction) as well as the kind of
renewable enerav you intend to use. 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.

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.

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
