We are pleased to request funding from the Alaska Energy Authority for $522,633. Because of high electricity costs ($.50/kWh winter and $.22/kWh summer after PCE credits), Cordova needs to develop other local energy sources to offset running diesel generators — especially in the winter months when hydro power disappears. The Native Village of Eyak would like to facilitate this endeavor by initiating a Wind Energy Feasibility Study. By conducting a wind feasibility study, Cordova will be one step closer to the overall goal of harnessing this abundant renewable energy source. A Wind Energy project will be very beneficial to the community especially in the winter months where diesel generators are the only present source of electricity and wind speeds are typically higher. In the summer months, additional low-cost generating capacity will allow for greater economic development in the region. Please find enclosed the Renewable Energy Fund grant application for the Cordova Biomass District Heating Project. Your financial support for this project is greatly appreciated.

Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA. Native Village of ! yak (N VI) is proposing a tour -year project to implement a wind energy program in cooperation with Cordova Electric Co -Operative (CEC), with near -term emphasis on completing our feasibility analysis and transitioning into fall project design and permitting within 18 months. Funding for construction/implementation phase will be requested by whichever entity (NVE or CEC) will own and operate the wind facility. 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 project is located at Camp Hill near Wireless Point, approximately seven miles south of Cordova, Alaska. Because of high electricity costs ($.50/kWh winter and $.22/kWh summer after PCE credits), Cordova needs to develop other local energy sources to offset running diesel generators — especially in the winter months when hydro power disappears. The wind energy program will 1) complete the Camp Hill wind farm project design and permits, 2) improve wind data maps through a mobile 10-meter anemometer tower project , 3) initiate a wind farm pilot project and a marine -based pilot project, 4) drive community involvement and education, 5) adopt best-known methods from other successful wind projects, 6) determine whether the wind farm will be built and operated by Native Village of Eyak or Cordova Electric Co -Op and 7) set the stage for construction and implementation. The project will provide low-cost electricity for all members of the Cordova Electric Co -Operative power grid. 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. Funding is needed to manage the design and permitting process, including detailed project estimates, soil engineering analysis for turbine foundations, grid extension and intertie capabilities, pilot farm implementation, improving regional wind resource maps, involvement of the community, best -fit turbine options, crane access at port and access road requirements with ensuing turbine size limitations, environmental analysis including avian studies and the overall site design and engineering plan. Local contributions to the project include an access road to the wind site constructed by Eyak Corporation, feasibility, analysis of Camp Hill site with 30-meter tower by NVE and volunteer labor on the mobile 10-meter anemometer by Cordova High School.

This project will be very beneficial to the community especially in the winter months where diesel generators are the only present source of electricity and wind speeds are typically higher. In the summer months, additional low-cost generating capacity will allow for greater economic development in the region. Extension of the power grid to the Whitshed site will allow for easier access to a potential alpine lake hydroelectric site to the east. 2.5 PROJECT COST AND BENEFIT SUMARY Include a summary of your project's total costs and benefits below. 2.5.1 Total Project Cost $8,945,073 (including estimates through construction. 2.5.2 Grant Funds Requested in this application. $522,633 in first phase. $4,395,133 over life of project. 2.5.3 Other Funds to be provided (Project match) $29,"0 first phase. $803,940 over life of project, plus $3,746,000 in federal funds. 2.5.4 Total Grant Costs (sum of 2.5.2 and 2.5.3) $552,073 first phase. $5,198,573 over life of project. 2.5.5 Estimated Benefit (Savings) No cost savings until implementation phase. 2.5.6 Public Benefit (if you can calculate the benefit in terms of No cost savings until dollars please provide that number here and explain how implementation phase. you calculated that number in your application.) SECTION 3 — PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN Describe who will be responsible for managing the project and provide a plan for successfully completing the project within the scope, schedule and budget proposed in the application. 3.1 Project Manager Tell us who will be managing the project for the Grantee and include a resume and references for the manager(s). If the applicant does not have a project manager indicate how you intend to solicit project management Support. If the applicant expects project management assistance from AEA or another government entity, state that in this section. This phase of the grant will be managed by the Native Village of Eyak. A key milestone during the design phase will be for NVE and CEC to determine which entity will construct and manage the project long term. Rich Stromberg, the project manager, has 23 years of engineering and management experience in high tech including 17 years with Intel Corporation managing projects for construction, process development and product design. We have a solid management team. Bruce Cain, CPA is the executive director of NVE and will insure the project will be implemented according to schedule and budget. Autumn Bryson has experience with natural resource projects and environmental analysis. Scott Madison will manage construction of the access road (Eyak Corp. matching contribution — not funded by this grant). Clay Koplin, CEO of Cordova Electric, has extensive experience managing day-to-day power generation as well as long-term capital projects. See attached resumes.

The most important decision in the first 18 months of this wind energy program is to determine which entity is best suited to construct and maintain the wind energy facility on a long-term basis. CEC and NVE are both key members of the Cordova Renewable Energy Workgroup and have established a close working relationship. During the project design phase, we will collect all data needed to allow the management and boards of both entities to make the best choice for the Cordova region. The other critical decision is late in year two when the Go/No-go decision will be made on the project. CEC and NVE will go after other power solution options if this wind project is not deemed feasible. 3.4 Project Resources Describe the personnel, contractors, equipment, and services you will use to accomplish the project. Include any partnerships or commitments with other entities you have or anticipate will be needed to complete your project. Describe any existing contracts and the selection process you may use for major equipment purchases or contracts. Include brief resumes and references for known, key personnel, contractors, and suppliers as an attachment to your application. In addition to the CEC and NVE personnel listed above, we will solicit bids from companies that have worked on power and wind projects in Alaska including grid intertie modeling and short AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 5 of 15 11/7/2008 ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund � ENERGY AUTHORMY Grant Application circuit studies, soil engineering, surveying, structural engineering and construction services. The bidding process will give additional consideration to companies with experience in Alaskan environments and with wind projects both in and out of state. No contracts or agreements currently exist, but we expect to contact the following non -inclusive list of companies for improved costs estimates and bids: Electric Power Systems Intelligent Energy Systems Entegrity Wind Systems STG, Inc Hattenburg Dilley & Linnell, LLC Wilder Construction Discovery Drilling Inc Patrick and Henderson Halus Power Systems Northern Power BBFMEngineers, Inc. 3.5 Project Communications Discuss how you plan to monitor the project and keep the Authority informed of the status. 1 he project manager currently sends out weekly status reports as well as minutes from CREW meetings. Project manager will attend the AEA wind working group and report status at that forum. 3.6 Project Risk Discuss potential problems and how you would address them. It is possible that a viable wind site close enough to the power grid to be economically justifiable may not be found. Depending on which crane resources are available, the turbine options left may not provide a sufficient payback to warrant implementation. Lastly, credit markets may pose significant barriers to funding. Wind resource maps suggest that we will, in fact, find a suitable site. Crane synergy options are discussed in section 4.3.1 of this application. Credit markets may be recovering by time funding is needed in the 8a' quarter of this program. Impacts on flora and fauna as determined by the environmental assessment may exclude certain locations or operating periods related to critical migration of endangered species. Other energy projects at CEC or NVE might be deemed higher priority if they provide greater benefit at lower costs or at a faster time to implementation. Zero -based budgeting criteria will be applied. Availability of turbines or other construction resources may impact the project schedule. AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 6 of 15 11/7/2008 /448WE'D ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund !MK:) ENERGY AUTHORITY 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. Data collected at 26.5 meters above ground level indicate- Class 1/4 wind re-nnrces at Camn Hill with Class 4/5 winds during the winter months when hydroelectric power resources are at a minimum and diesel power is at a maximum. Wind resource maps indicate additional potential Class 4/5 sites between Camp Hill and the current power grid terminus although current wind maps are calculated using terrain models based on wind data from the airport and harbor meteorological sites. As such, the portable anemometer wind energy program will validated the current wind resource maps by correlating 10-meter data at Class 4 and 5 sites on the maps with known 10.7 and 26.5 meter data from the met tower at Camp Hill. See attached wind resource maps and 10-meter mobile anemometer program overview. Current 26.5-meter data indicates turbulence of .2, which may affect which models of turbines are suitable for the Camp Hill location. Part of the grid intertie analysis will be to determine what percentage of the total power demand can be accepted onto the grid given seasonally varying wind speeds and power demand. The study will also address the viability of power storage options. 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, aoe. efficiencv. and tune of aeneration. Cordova's current electric energv sunnly nortfolio include The Cordova Electric Cooperative (CEC) owned Power Creek hydro -electric facility, with two each 3MW Turgo-type turbines, capable of generating 5.5 MW, commissioned in 2001. • CEC Orea Diesel Power Plant with four diesel generators (when the Power Creek hydro- electric facility became operable, CEC retired its other, older diesel power plant) including 2 each 1100kW rated 1984 Cats in a container van, 1 each 2400kW rated 1984 Fairbanks -Morse 38TD8-1/8, and 1 each 2600kW rated installed 1985 EMD 20-645-E4. A new, fuel -efficient diesel generator rated at 3,650 kW and averaging 15 kWh/gallon efficiency is scheduled to be installed in spring of 2009. System -wide efficiency averaged AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 7 of 15 11/7/2008 / am" ALASM 400D ENERGY AUTHORITY H Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application 13.65 kWh/gallon in 2007. Humpback Creek hydroelectric facility (currently out of service). When repairs are completed, it will have two each 500 kW rated Francis turbines, and one each 250 kW rated Turgo turbine back in service. Conservation: CEC is replacing 20 % of Cordova's street lights with LED lights, has automated plant lighting at the Power Creek and Eyak plants to reduce internal use of diesel; distributed 3,500 compact fluorescent bulbs to its Cooperative membership at no charge; joined Touchstone Energy and distributed their energy brochures to CEC members; formed a partnership with the Native Village of Eyak and Cordova School District to purchase 80% of five wind anemometers to map Cordova's wind resources. 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. Because the Cordova region is isolated from the rail -belt power grid and the road system, the community has very few current options for meeting its energy needs. Hydro -electricity, diesel electricity, home -heating oil, gasoline, propane and a modest amount of wood heat meet the electrical, heating and transportation needs of the community. Until 1991, Cordova relied solely on diesel fuel for generation of electricity when low-cost diesel fuel, low costs of diesel shipping and storage abounded. Subsequent concern for rising fuel costs and increasingly higher environmental standards for air quality, along with fuel transport and storage issues prompted construction of the Humpback Creek Hydroelectric project. The project provided 15-20% of Cordova's annual Power needs. Coal-fired generation and natural gas resources along with the potential for tidal power were determined to be infeasible. The Power Creek site was selected and successfully developed as the second run -of -river hydroelectric project for the community in 2001. Conservation has been identified as the other existing energy `resource" and is being aggressively implemented internally and externally in the community by CEC in the transportation and heating sectors in addition to electrical consumption. Conservation and efficiency will free existing energy supply resources and offset the need to develop additional generation assets. A dam storage project is currently under preliminary analysis by Cordova Electric Cooperative at CEC expense. Fuel prices have tripled in the last 18 months, diesel as a primary fuel source is less affordable than ever, particularly given the age, inappropriate unit sizing and dispatch, and relatively poor efficiency of the existing diesel generation. The addition of wind power could complement the existing diesel and hydro electric generation capacity allowing for reduced diesel costs in the winter and greater economic development during the summer fishing season. Lastly, the incorporation of wind energy would better map Cordova's energy sources with local resources. 4.2.3 Existing Energy Market Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy customers. Cordova is located on the eastern edge of Prince William Sound in south-central Alaska approximately 160 air miles east of Anchorage. Transportation to Cordova generally consists of scheduled air service to Anchorage or Southeast Alaska, bi-weekly ferry service within Prince William Sound and barge service from Washington state. There is no road system linking Cordova to the rest of the state AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 8 of 15 11/7/2008 ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund '© ENERGY AUTHORITY Grant Application Cordova's principal industry is fishing and fish processing. It has been the home port and home to fishermen and processors for Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska since 1887, however, Cordova lost about half of its canneries and fish processors in the late `80s and early `90s due to higher energy and transportation costs than other PWS communities. The burden of high energy costs threatens the sustainability of Cordova's fishing industry. Annual energy demands include residential use, small business, and the public service and government sectors including the USES Ranger District, USCG cutter (Sycamore) and air station, municipal buildings, schools, a hospital, swimming pool, recreation center and a ski hill. Cordova's total population as certified by the US Census 2000 is 2,564. More recent State population counts show our population decreasing, and the Alaska Community Database counts 2,194 current residents. The steady annual population decline of 14.4% since 2000 can be attributed to the hardship created by the high cost of reliable energy. Electrical demand has exceeded GEC's supply capacity via its two run -of -the -river hydroelectric projects, Power Creek and Humpback Creek (while Humpback Creek remains out of service). Diesel fuel generation has to be provided during the summer fish processing season, and fish processing is Cordova's primary industry. When Power Creek is routinely taken out of service for an hour at a time, or for several hours a day during annual flood events, all four diesel generators must be operated to meet system loads. Loss of any one diesel generator reduces CEC generation assets below the demand, and power outages result. Summer demand for energy comes primarily from the commercial seafood processing industry - the economic lifeblood of the community. In the seafood sector, the first and third largest processors upgraded and added demand to their facilities in 2006 and the largest will upgrade, adding a substantial demand with a fish -waste -processing plant (approximately 1400 kW or 25% of system peak). The second largest will be upgrading and adding demand in winter 2008. This drives the economy of the community and generates essential jobs, raw fish tax revenue and sustainability to the community and the State of Alaska. Electricity costs for CEC customers peaked at $.50 per kW hour in April of 2008 after power cost equalization credits. Summer rates bottomed out at $0.22 per kW hour. AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 9 of 15 11/7/2008 ALASKA Renewable Energy Fund /GEED ENERGY AUTNORrrY Grant Application 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 nroiect vision is to install 1.5 to 2.0 megawatts of wind Penerating canacity on the Electric Co -Op grid. Data from the Camp Hill met tower suggests an average of 470,000 kWh/year from each V-27 turbine or 3.3 million kWh per year for seven turbines. If using a Northwind 100 generator, the yearly output would be 228kWh/yr or 3.4 million kWh per year for 15 turbines. Although V-27/Northwind numbers are spee'd, all turbines less than 2 Megawatts of rated capacity will be studied to identify the best economy of scale for the Cordova power grid. The portable anemometer program will help to identify the most ideal local wind resources with the closest possible location to the power grid. The largest barrier to implementation in Cordova is how the remote location affects the cost and even the ability to ship larger turbines and especially the cranes needed to install those turbines. Cordova is working to develop a deep -water port at Shepherd Point, approximately seven miles north of town. The wind energy program will investigate synergy options with the proposed port to determine if any cargo crane options offer shared benefits with local wind turbine installs. Grid intertie modeling will be outsourced and studied not only for the impacts of a wind farm on the local hydro and diesel grid, but also the potential synergy with a proposed district heating project. Excess wind energy at times of low demand or high hydroelectric output can be shunted to the district heating system. Another opportunity for diverting excess wind power would be to establish a smart -grid for electric vehicles which are ideal for the minimal road system around Cordova. 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 ownership for the sites being studied is either by the City of Cordova or by the Eyak Corporation. Eyak Corp. is the land owner for CEC's Humpback Creek hydroelectric facility. City council member Michael Anderson is a member of the Cordova Renewable Energy Workgroup and the CREW reports into the NVE board whose president is city councilman Robert Hemichs. Regular reports to the city council will be a part of the public education and awareness strategy of the wind program. No other land ownership issues are anticipated. AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 10 of 15 11/7/2008 /ORITY � ALASAUTENERGYHKA Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application 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 Althouffh not required, the FAA has reauested we notifv them of our 10-meter tower giteq for portable anemometer program and we will comply with that request. Once a viable wind site is selected, we will submit FAA form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. We will also need to submit an NPDES storm water discharge permit for construction to the EPA. While unlikely for the turbine site, a permit under section 404 of the Clean Water Act may be required for any road leading to the facility. Alaska Dept of Environment and Conservation may want to review our 404 status Based on the outcome of the environmental assessment, we may need a section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act or other permitting related to the Eagle Protection Act or Migratory Bird Act. During the construction phase of the project we will need a state Department of Transportation oversize and overweight permit during transport of any turbine or heavy equipment needed for the installation. We will also need a Port of Entry permit with the US Coast Guard. A City of Cordova permit will be required for construction projects on land within their jurisdiction. 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 An environmental assessment will be conducted to address the following: • Threatened or Endangered Species • Habitats • Wetlands • Archaeological and Historical Resources • Visual, and Aesthetic Impacts • Land Development Constraints • Coastal zone review Please see the attached environmental assessment proposal.

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 avoided cost of ownership) • 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 Cordova has consumed at least S3.5 million in diesel fuel for electrical generation over the past year. This project seeks to offset at least one-third of those fuel costs. Greater accuracy of benefits will not be available until we can conduct a short circuit study of the project in relation to the rest of CEC's framework. This project would create more renewable energy credits for the CEC power grid. It would also provide for cleaner air through reduced diesel emissions.

RFA AEA 09-004 Application Cost Worksheet revised 9126108 Page 3 A Cordova Electric Co-Op/NVE Wind Program Overview The project is broken down into the following focus areas: • Improving wind data maps — NVE currently has a 30-meter tower near Pt. Whitshed on Camp Hill that has anemometers at 10, 20 and 30 meters above ground level. NVE and CEC will purchase five mobile remote 10-meter anemometer kits to verify AEA -provided wind maps of the region. The towers will be erected on vegetation -free hilltops for 3-4 months at 15 sites. hi addition, we will purchase two additional 10-meter anemometer assemblies for mounting on trailers to collect wind data at sites on the road system. All 10-meter data can be referenced to the 10-meter data at the Camp Hill 30-meter tower which will remain in place until July 2009. It may become necessary for NVE to purchase their own 30-meter tower assembly for more detailed wind studies as we identify targeted wind tower sites through the 10-meter tower program. • Wind pilot projects — A mini wind farm of five 2KW turbines at the current southern terminus of Whitshed Road to provide installation and grid connection learning (how will wind interact with our grid) as well as an opportunity for more informed public input. Up to five 200-watt marine turbines on select boats in Cordova harbor to assess the ability to forego shore power and reduce fuel consumption on Prince William Sound and the Copper River Flats. I • Learning from other existing wind projects — No project should be developed in a vacuum. CEC/NVE have been invited to observe the Kodiak Pillar Mountain installation, which closely matches the terrain and climate of Cordova. The program director also has access to visit several wind farms in Colorado. Best- known methods will be used from each of these sites. • Public education and awareness — Cordova Renewable Energy Workgroup (CREW) meetings continue to be open to the public and will host additional wind program updates in the community. • Camp Hill wind farm project design and permitting - including road, grid extension, ownership/operation decision (CEC or NVE), installation (crane access, soil report, foundation requirements), turbine model/size selection. Environmental studies and avian impact along with aviation concerns. Delivery logistics. Long term service and support. • Construct and implementation — Will occur in years 2.5, 3 and 4 of the project. Rough estimates of turbine purchase, installation and operation costs will be given. ' The parameters of a pilot program are still under discussion. Bruce and I need to iron out specifics as he had proposed four home -based battery/grid-intertie systems. 05 N XX O O XX N O O o XX N T O N X X X X X 0 o X N C N m � a) C « C C a) a) O O U w w wy C w C C C O O 0 O 'U > «a) O O a) ip U N y N(D N 'N O U U ul T a) � -O N "O (4 T T 0) — 0 Cl T a`) m p m o 0 Fn N m E o m a o a c 'O c 0 0 0 0 O C Y C V) c 0) 0) a) c W a) m c U c T 'O W O W E L m E m E oo) -c c m m 3 0) � a c m 3 E Eo c E E c 0 3—C a= �_ > o ac 0 = a _a m o a) 0 a) M 0 C -O m C .�. c = 0 m C y w M c m T c M a c ...

As per 40 CFR 1500 if any federal funding is involved an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be issued. However, if the project only involves state and private funding, it is still necessary to address any environmental concerns. Generally, an EIS can cost up to $600,000. An environmental assessment of the project should only cost about $60,000. The assessment will properly address all matters affecting or likely to affect the environment as a result of the proposed wind development activity. The following is a description of the environmental issues that must be addressed for wind farm development. Threatened or Endangered Species Plants and animals throughout an ecosystem respond differently to changes in forests as a result of wind development projects. This knowledge should be weighed using siting evaluations that minimize ecological impacts and inform decision -makers on planning, siting, and operation of the wind farm. Correspondence with the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Natural Resources is valuable when conducting these evaluations. These agencies can determine whether the area is a known habitat for sensitive species. If it is unknown whether the site contains sensitive species, pre -siting surveys should be conducted to establish whether any threatened or endangered species are present in the area. Site locations for the turbines should avoid these areas to minimize impacts. Habitats Habitat loss and forest fragmentation have been known to occur as a result of wind development projects. Projects affecting Threatened & Endangered species habitats should be addressed. Disturbance to other species habitats, such as bears, birds, and bats may also need to be considered. Site surveys of these sensitive habitat areas should be conducted. Due to local differences in wildlife concentration and movement patterns, habitats, area topography, weather and siting design, each proposed development site is unique and requires detailed individual evaluation. Siting evaluations should minimize effects of development on critical habitat areas. Thorough site evaluations will ensure proper location of turbines and their associated infrastructure to minimize habitat loss. If disturbance of important habitats are likely to occur than a habitat conservation plan should be devised and mitigation measures should be implemented. Wetlands Wetlands tend to attract waterfowl and shorebirds, and are also major feeding sites for bats. For this reason, and to protect their hydrologic characteristics, wind turbines should not be constructed within wetlands. Setbacks from the wetland boundary should be considered based on the size and functional values of the wetlands, especially those related to wildlife use. Setbacks and avoidance will protect the integrity of the hydrological relationship to the surrounding area. This does not preclude construction in areas containing scattered small wetland patches as long as these features are protected from direct impacts and runoff. Where construction of turbine foundations may affect groundwater -sensitive habitats and species, extra care should be taken in designing and constructing the wind farm. Pre -siting surveys need to be conducted to delineate wetlands within the project area to avoid construction in wetland areas. ' Both local and migrating. Includes raptors. Coastal Zone Management The habitat areas of coastal zones, and the fish, shellfish, and other living marine wildlife and resources are extremely fragile and consequently extremely vulnerable to destruction from development. Important ecological, cultural, historic, and aesthetic values in the coastal zone are essential to the well-being of all citizens. Special natural and scenic characteristics are being damaged by ill -planned development that threatens these values. Therefore, efforts to protect the coastal zones within the project area are imperative. During the siting of the turbines, efforts should be taken to place the turbines in locations where coastal zone impacts will be minimal. Archaeological and Historical Resources Archaeological sites have enormous potential to contribute to our knowledge of our history, providing information that is unavailable from other sources. Wind farms, like any development can affect important archaeological sites. Many archaeological resources once disturbed are irreplaceable. It is imperative that archaeological resources are adequately investigated and recorded if they are to be disturbed. Any excavation of land for wind farming, which might disturb an archaeological or historical resource, will need permission from the State Historical Preservation Office and the Tribal Preservation Office. These offices should be contacted prior to site construction to determine if there are known or potential resources in the project area. If resources are found a complete archaeological study should be performed prior to construction and those places of archaeological or historical significance should be avoided. Visual, and Aesthetic Impacts The construction of a wind farm will change the landscape in which it sits. If this landscape is of aesthetical value, the wind farm might affect the significance of that landscape. A wind farm does not automatically have a negative effect on a landscape, but its potential impacts must be considered by decision -makers, and changes in the design of the wind farm to lessen such impacts may be recommended. If the values of an aesthetical landscape lie in the significant views that it offers, wind farm development can potentially materially affect the views of a place. A viewshed can be thought of similarly to a watershed, but in terns of what we can see from a set point. A viewshed is an area composed of land, water, biotic and cultural elements which may be viewed and mapped from one or more viewpoints and which has scenic qualities and/or aesthetic values. A viewshed analysis should be performed on the individual turbine sites. To preserve aesthetical landscapes, turbines sites may need to be adjusted so that the turbine remains out of sight from the viewshed. Although people may wish to have the turbine locations hidden from view, in some circumstances it may not always be practical and the judgment call will lie in the hands of the decision -makers. Land Development Constraints In siting wind development projects, there can be many land development constraints. These constraints include but are not limited to noise restrictions, setback requirements, floodplain issues, height restrictions, zoning constraints, telecommunication interference and aviation considerations. To avoid confliction of these land development issues it is important to create an accurate map depicting the environmental and land use constraints that limit the desirable area for development of a site. The map may include additional constraints that can create development challenges. For example, constraint maps often indicate parcels that cannot be developed, such as conservation easements, and residences close to the site. This map can then be used to select appropriate sites that encompass the requirements for the land constraints. Other Potential Barriers Other potential barriers include stream impacts and coastal management zone restrictions. Impacts to waters of the U.S. may require additional permits from the Army Corp of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency. These federal agencies must be contacted prior to construction to obtain the proper permits. Additional costs may be incurred through this rigorous permitting process. 35 Rough Budget Estimate Threatened & Endangered Species Surveys Habitat Evaluations Wetland Delineations Archaeological Surveys Viewshed Analysis Development Constraint Mapping (including coastal zones) Other Potential Barriers Total $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 $ 7,000 $ 7,000 $ 6,000 $60,000 E* AVIAN & BAT SURVEYS PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND SCIENCE CENTER Principal Investigator: Mary Anne Bishop, Ph.D. Prepared for: NATIVE VILLAGE OF EYAK WIND TURBINE PROJECT November 3, 2008 More than 270 bird species have been recorded in the North Gulf of Alaska coast/Prince William Sound region (Isleib and Kessel 1989). In spring, as many as 4 million shorebirds stop on the Copper River Delta while in route to their western Alaska breeding grounds (Bishop et al. 2000). Southern Orca Inlet, in particular the mudflats and waters Point Whitshed and Hartney Bay, provides important shorebird, waterfowl, and gull foraging and resting habitat. What follows is a proposed monitoring program for the first phase (18 months) of the Native Village of Eyak Wind Turbine Project. For Phase I, wind speed will be monitored at 16 sites by the Native Village of Eyak. Based on discussions with R. Stromberg, efforts for the avian and bat monitoring program are focused at the four Camp Hill and two Whitshed North tilt -up sites. The plan and budget are based on the premise that one PWSSC biologist would conduct the surveys. The Native Village of Eyak would provide a field technician to accompany the PWSSC biologist (for safety reasons). The Native Village of Eyak would also provide boat and or ATV transportation to access sites. Avian and bat observations at tilt -up sites Bird and bat observations will take place at the four Camp Hill and two Whitshed North tilt -up sites. Once a month from June through September 2008, each tilt -up site will be surveyed. A two-hour point count will be conducted and then immediately followed by an area search (CWS 2006). Point counts will record bird species, height and direction of flight, and behavior (eg. foraging, flying, resting) for all raptors, corvids, gulls, loons, and waterfowl (NYSERDA 2005, USFWS 2003). Each area search will record all individual birds encountered over a defined area during a standardized period of time (CWS 2006). Two to three sites will be surveyed each day, with survey times alternating between morning, midday and late afternoon. In addition, during the 2008- 2009 winter we will conduct one point count and area search at the two sites most likely to be selected for the wind turbines. During the 2009 summer, we will also conduct surveys for Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) and Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus). Little brown bats are the most common and widely distributed bat in Alaska (Parker et al. 1997). High bat mortality has been recorded at wind turbine sites (Arnett 2005). Little Brown Bats are commonly observed around Cordova as well as at Boswell Bay on nearby Hinchinbrook Island. Marbled Murrelets are seabirds that commonly nest in coastal, old - growth, spruce -hemlock forests of Prince William Sound, Alaska. A previous study in nearby northern Orca Inlet found murrelets along the entire coastline of the survey route, with nesting behavior observed at >80% of surveys stations (Marks and Bishop 1998). 3-7 For this project, we will conduct three, dusk acoustic surveys for bats (Thomas and West 1989, NYSERDA 2005), and three, early morning dawn watch surveys for marbled murrelets (Paton et al. 1990, Kuletz et al. 1994). Surveys will take place during June and July 2009. Similar to the winter surveys, these surveys will be conducted at the two sites most likely to be selected for the wind turbines. Fall and Spring Migration Surveys At the Camp Hill 1 baseline site near Pt. Whitshed, we will conduct migration surveys during fall 2008 (1 Sept —15 Oct) and spring 2009 (15 Apr — 30 May). Surveys will be conducted once a week during each migration, with efforts concentrated on days when weather conditions are favorable for large-scale bird movements (CWS 2006). Fall surveys will be conducted between 0900 — 1300h. Spring surveys will take place between 0700 — I I00h. Four-hour point counts will record species or species group, height and direction of flight, and behavior (eg. foraging, flying, resting) for all birds observed (NYSERDA 2005, USFWS 2003). Schedule.

The data is fed into a terrain -based model to predict wind resources at 30, 50 and 70-meters above ground level (AGL). The Native Village of Eyak (NVE) has a 30-meter tower near Camp Hill approximately 8 air miles southwest of the Cordova town center. This tower collects wind speed and direction at 10, 20 and 26.5 meters AGL. NVE is applying for funds from the Alaska Energy Authority to identify additional sites for potential wind resources as well as collecting data to improve our existing wind models by utilizing a network of low-cost 10-meter portable tilt -up towers that can be erected by two people in the field. A total of five (5) tilt -up towers will be purchased at a cost of approximately $1,250 each. The recommended system is the APRS datalogger ( http://www.aprsworid.com/selfcontained/solar/ and http://www.aprsworld.com/wind2/ ) out of Minnesota. APRS stores the data on an SD memory card and provides web -based software for data analysis, automatically plotting the data as well as providing basic statistics - a big improvement over the NREL lag time. This data can then be compared with 10-meter data from the Camp Hill tower for relative comparison of wind resources. The tower kit is from Southwest Wind Power and is the standard assembly used with the Air-X 400-watt turbine, only this application will use 1-7/8" PVC pipe to save on cost and weight. hitp://www.wholesalesolar. com/products.folder/wind- folder/AirXTower.html Total cost for the datalogger, power system, tower kit and pipe is—$1,250. APRS solar powered wind data logger $800 Air-x tower kit $155 Four 36" earth anchors $125 Schedule 20 pipe: 24', 9', 6' $150 Total cost $1,230 Rich Stromberg Cordova portable anemometer program Page 1 of 5 I� If approved, the test towers will collect data for approximately three to four months before being moved to another site elsewhere in the Cordova area. As long as we have the Camp Hill tower up or replace it with a 10-meter tower, we can use it as a baseline for each month to compare whether the additional test sites have 75%, 85%, 90% or 110% of the wind speeds at Camp Hill. Testing at a given site does not necessarily imply an interest in erecting wind towers at that location. Sites were chosen to verify Class III, IV and V locations on the existing wind resources maps. Labor for erecting and monitoring these towers will come in the form of volunteer matching using students from Adam Low's science classes at Cordova High School under the supervision of the wind program manager. NVE projects the need to enlist the services of a statistician to properly compare rime -paired samples between the test sites and the reference tower at Camp Hill for which a year worth of 10- and 26.6-meter data exists. In addition, we will purchase two additional 10-meter anemometer assemblies for mounting on NVE trailers to collect wind data at sites on the road system. Study findings will be presented at a future Rural Energy Conference or other suitable technical review body.

Box 20, 705 Second Street, Cordova, Alaska 99574-0020 (907) 424-5555 Fax (907) 424-5527 The Cordova Electric Cooperative supports the Native Village of Eyak (NVE) application for a Renewable Energy grant to develop a wind model of Cordova and further assess the feasibility of wind generation. The first phase of NVE wind evaluation indicated an excellent source of renewable wind power at Point Whitshed. The resource needs to be evaluated in other promising sites around the community, and the feasibility assessed at those sites. CEC is excited by the opportunity to lend technical assistance, and power generation and distribution expertise to deploy sustainable, low-cost energy options to our membership. We are partnering under a Memorandum of Agreement between CEC and NVE to work on energy projects of mutual interest and benefit to the community. Evaluating the feasibility of deploying wind energy on our grid is important to our community long range energy plan and we fully support your efforts and this application. Sincerely, �'''�'`/�l ell.6. ip� � Clay Koplin, CEO CORDOVA ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE AP Cordova Renewable Energy Workgroup Cc: Bruce Cain*, Clay Koplin (CEC)*, Clark Pearson*, Autumn Bryson*, Rich Stromberg*, Vincent Patrick*, Todd Cook (City), Joy Landaluce (Times) , Angela Arnold, Kerin Kramer, Bob Henrichs, Adam Low, Jim Nygaard, Kristin Smith (CRWP), Mike Anderson Status report for Oct. 23, 2008. Executive summary: Cordova is leading other Alaskan communities in application submission and approval for the home weatherization program. The winter firewood proposal was submitted to AEA for the October Renewable Energy RFA cycle. CEC is submitting two grants for the November Renewable Energy RFA cycle: Humpback Creek intake repairs and diesel generatoir heat recovery. NYE is also submitting two grants for the Nov. cycle: burn pile/cardboard waste district heating and the wind energy program. The CREW gained consensus that the top three priorities for Cordova's energy plan are officially: Clay's hydro projects, Autumn's district heat / burn pile project and Rich's wind energy program. All were in agreement. Currently, the team focus is as follows: • Cordova home weatherization — Bruce/Angela/Kerin • District heating grant proposal for burn pile and paper/cardboard waste — Autumn/Bruce • Humpback Creek repairs and hydro storage options — Clay • Wind program grant proposal— Rich/Autumn • Winter firewood grant — submitted, waiting for approval. Action Required: Pearson — Invite the person who has a heat pump on their boat to the next meeting. All — Invite anyone currently using alternative energy to future meetings. (Send e-mail info to Rich). All — report out on your focus area(s). Meeting minutes Thanks to a large focused effort, Cordova applications to the state home weatherization program are being processed by ACDC at an expedited rate due to NVE guidance/assistance with Cordova applicants. Mike Carr at ACDC is working to get a weatherization crew placed in Cordova with enough work for the next 3-5 years. This is an outstanding effort by everyone over the past two months! Cordova Electric is submitting two grants to the state renewable energy fund. Clay is requesting $5.5 million for Humpback Creek intake repairs. This will allow more hydro power in the shoulder seasons of early spring and late fall when Power Creek has already stopped flowing. It will also add additional buffer capacity when cannery power demand spikes in the summer, thus avoidance the need to run the diesel generators. The other grant being submitted is $1.7 million for waste heat recovery on our diesel generators. CEC matching funds on this project is the money being spent to buy newer, more efficient generators. Rich Stromberg Cordova Energy Working Group Page 1 of 3 4 According to Clay, we already have a 1.5 MW load increase being requested. This is growth in the community that is currently gated by power generation. Clay told the group that a total of $400 million worth of projects was requested in the October $50 million RFP cycle, including $79 million for a complete Healy wind farm. Rep. Bill Thomas told Clay that every project with an LLC behind it is being removed from the list. Cordova received once such LLC inquiry from a wind company back in September and had determined the company was not a viable partner. Autumn Bryson is the lead on the district heating grant proposal. During the summer time there is a requirement for steam when canning fish. There may be synergy with the district heating, but steam and liquid -based systems are not interchangeable. Right now Cordova pays to get rid of cardboard waste and the wood bum pile is polluting the air. Rich is the lead on the wind program grant proposal which consists of the following focus areas: wind farm project design and permitting, improving regional wind resource maps through a portable anemometer program, public education/involvement, wind pilot project and learning from other wind projects. Other details to add to the grant proposal details are right-of-way, land ownership, wetland delineation, construction. On dam storage projects, the preliminary licensing and FERC licensing flow chart can take us through what we need on wind. We'll need costs benefits and feasibility. Determine who is going to operate and what is needed on an interoperating agreement if NVE runs. Need memorandum of understanding stating that NVE and CEC are partners on the project. During a 35-minutes interview with Rep. Don Young this week, Rich had the opportunity to discuss rural energy issues and efforts by Cordova, NVE, CEC and the CREW. Young's response on the burn pile district heat proposal is that we should come to him if the state doesn't give us money as this is the kind of project that just needs to get done. Clay spoke about recent reduced demand of 1,500 kW at night and 2,200 kW during the day. Currently running 900 kW of hydro and 900 kW of diesel. Last year at this time we were at 40% hydro. Bruce questioned whether demand was low because of people leaving Cordova for the winter. (Follow up from Clay on Friday indicate fewer meters than last year, but also 3 percent drop in demand on the average meter.) The final act of the meeting was that the CREW gained consensus that the top priorities for Cordova's energy plan are Clay's hydro projects (Humpback Creek intake repairs), Autumn's district heat / burn pile project and Rich's wind energy program. All were in agreement. CREW Team Process The team is following this process: 1. Focus of group is all aspects of energy in Cordova: electricity, home heating and transportation fuel. 2. Current members: proposed roles and responsibilities have been assigned 3. Proposed members: proposed roles and responsibilities have been assigned 4. Problem statement: Cordova's energy costs are higher than the national average. (Costs are of main concern, but so are clean air and other environmental factors. Also, Clay pointed out Rich Stromberg Cordova Energy Working Group Page 2 of 3 the future potential problem of availability should we return to an oil embargo or shortage scenario like in the `70s.) 5. Identify key indicators: cost/kwh, % of power from diesel generators (home heating and transportation fuel indicators are more difficult given that the costs are driven more by individual consumption), total watts of installed renewable capacity in the region. 6. Root cause analysis — brain storm ideas from Ishikawa fishbone. — Done. 7. ZBB to determine which projects are addressed first. — Done. See above priorities. 8. Sub -teams execute on projects, reporting out to team with progress and roadblocks needing mitigation. This will be an iterative process as we address each aspect of energy and revisit continuous improvement after implementing solutions. Next steps • Get lessons learned info from used turbine install in La Junta, Colo. • Get power annual/monthly power consumption numbers kilowatt hours from Clay/CEC Also get the actual energy cost per kWh month to month for the past year and approximate # of household and businesses CEC provides power for. • Get the installation and commissioning manuals from Vestas on the V-27. — Done. Package received via Fed Ex in late September. • Talk with Halus and Northwind about "available" turbines, costs and timeframes. • Talk with STG (Alaska Crane Company) to get better cost estimates for hilltop installations with our soil conditions. • Get install cost estimates from Ian Baring-Gould/NREL. • Get tied into AEA's wind group — Martina Dabo.

Technical Series, Vestas V-27, 225 kW Sayler & Associates S V47-660 kW Pitch regulated wind turbine with OptiTip® and OptiSlip® mvkstas� G One or two generators The standard V47-660 ON is delivered with a single generator, which is highly efficient in the vast majority of wind conditions. A two -generator version is also avail- able, containing a second, .smaller generator for use in wind speeds as low as 7 m/s. The result is a lower sound level where it is most needed, as well as more efficient exploitation of modest wind conditions. Optimal pitch with OptiTip® As with. all other Vestas turbines, the V47-660 kW turbine is equipped with microprocessor -controlled OptiTip" pitch regulation, ensuring rea tinuir s and optimal adjustment of the angles of the blades in relation to the prevailing wind. The OptiTipsystem makes it possible to find the best solution to the often contradictory requirements for high output and low sound levels, depending on the location. Optislipa The V47.660 kW turbine features the unique generator principle OptiSIV. which allows both the rotor and the generator to vary their RPM by up to 10% to cope with violent gusts of wind. In addition to reducing the load on various parts of the turbine, tire OptiSlip° system also ensures an appreciably better prover quality. Lightning protection The V47-660 kW turbine is equipped with Vestas Lightning Protection, to protect the entire turbine from the tips of the blades to the foundation. Flexible blades Vestas always measures and tests all new products down to the smallest detail before releasing them to the market The flexible blades underwent a 6-month dynamic distortion test under extreme loads — more than they would normally be exposed to in their 20-year service lives. The maximum loads and outward distortion of tire blades were then checked in a static test The blades passed all the tests and now make an appreciable contribution to the efficient production of the V47-660 kW turbine. Proven Performance We spend many months testing and documenting the performance of the Vestas turbines. When we are finally satisfied, we run one last check by allowing an independent organisation to verify the results. This is standard practice at Vestas — a procedure we call Proven Performance. It is our guarantee that your Vestas turbine meets the very highest requirements for energy production, availability factor, power quality, and sound levels. PROVEN ME RC YkSrnC: Gtdl;aupU G5 1.

It is not, although it is no more than a few years since this turbine was launched as the Vestas flagship. A genuine innovation when it was intro- duced in 1997, the V47-660 k\V blade design set new standards, but the turbine as a whole, with its futuristic design and innovative technology, became a model for the giant turbines that have since begun to roll off the production lines. Today, the V47-660 kW model remains a popular turbine that exploits the power of the wind reliably and efficiently. Turbines of this model currently operate in locations as diverse as Net, Zealand, California, Spain, Germany and South Korea - and in many other places where there is a demand for profitable wind power. / 4 Contacts Subsidiaries Vestas — Danish Wind Technology A/S Smed Sorensens Vej 1 DI"950 Ringkobing Denmark Tel. +45 96 75 25 75 Fax +45 97 30 62 50 vestns,h,t®vemasAk Vestas — Scandinavian Wind Technology A/S Smed Sorensens Vej 1 DK-6950 Ringkobing Denmark Tel. +45 96 75 25 75 Fax +45 97 30 62 64 vestasswtwestas.dk Vestas — International Wind Technology A/S Smed Sorensens Vej 1 DK 6950 Ringkobing Denmark Tel. +45 96 75 25 75 Fax +45 97 30 62 25 vestas-int@vesas.dk Sales companies Vestas Hellas Wind Technology S.A. 150, A.
