Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 3 of 14 9/3/2008 SECTION 2 – PROJECT SUMMARY The proposed project is a feasibility study of the “Chignik Hydro” power system on Indian Creek in Chignik, Alaska. Hydropower has been used in Chignik for over 60 years, and the Indian Lake dam, the penstock, and the generator are still conveying water down from Indian Lake to the Trident Seafoods plant in the city. The piped water is the source for the city’s water supply, the fish plant water supply, and it also turns a 60 kW pelton-wheel that generates a small amount of electricity for use in the fish plant. The components of the system are antiquated, leaky, and inefficient. An updated feasibility study is needed to determine the exact nature of the resource and what configuration would make the most of this renewable resource. The Chignik Hydro project would benefit the community by offsetting the cost of fuel currently used to generate electricity for homes and community buildings such as the Subsistence Building and the school. Hydroelectric will also benefit the new small boat harbor, the Trident Seafoods fish processing plant, and the Harris Sub-Regional Clinic, which will serve residents of Chignik Lagoon, Chignik Lake, Perryville, and Port Heiden. In addition, by re-building the dam and conveyor pipeline, the project would also be reinforcing the infrastructure that supports the city’s water system, as well as the fish plant water supply. The City of Chignik will partner with CE2 Engineers and Polarconsult Inc. to study the hydrology, engineering, electronics, and economics of restoring the hydropower system in Chignik. Trident Seafoods holds the FERC License 620 for Indian Creek hydropower, and has used Polarconsult for much of the hydrological consulting work associated with maintaining its license. Trident has agreed to negotiate terms with the City of Chignik for using Trident’s FERC license to generate electricity for the community at large. Negotiating those terms will be part of the proposed feasibility study. CE2 Engineers will be the Project Manager for the feasibility study. CE2 will lead the negotiations with Trident Seafoods and contract with Polarconsult Inc. for the scientific content of the study. In 2002-2003, Polarconsult Inc. began a multi-year survey of streamflow in Indian Creek for Norquest (now owned by Trident Seafoods) as part of its FERC re-licensing requirement. Preliminary results from the Polarconsult study found an average monthly stream flow (in cubic feet per second) of 46.5 cfs (lowest in March at 7.5 cfs, highest in October at 107.3 cfs). After the preliminary studies, engineers at Polarconsult estimate that hydropower on Indian Creek could produce as much as 1,500 MWh of electricity. At that production level, hydropower could potentially cover the entire City of Chignik’s electrical needs, which in 2007 measured 520 MWh. Polarconsult will conduct a comprehensive hydrology analysis for the feasibility study, including analysis of stream flow data (collected during previous years’ study), as well as a survey of the Indian Lake reservoir, analysis of the reservoir storage, and load study. Polarconsult has done similar feasibility studies for hydropower projects in Atka In addition to the hydrology research, Polarconsult Inc. will take the lead on consultations with US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game on issues related to salmon populations, habitat and wetlands. Concern for habitat and wetlands will influence several major aspects of the project’s design and performance, such as the placement of the powerhouse. Permits relating to maintaining stream levels and fish habitat will also figure strongly in determining the viability of the hydro project. Polarconsult will also perform the economic analysis, the conceptual design and cost estimate for the project based on the findings of the feasibility study. The feasibility study should take a total of 18 months. Consultations will begin in early summer 2009. Field work on Indian Creek will begin in the late summer or fall of 2009 and Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 4 of 14 9/3/2008 analysis and negotiations will go through the fall of 2010. 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 energy you intend to use. Refer to Section 1.5 of RFA. Feasibility Analysis covering Hydrology, Economics, Project Configuration and Conceptual Design, and FERC License Negotiations 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 City of Chignik will partner with Trident Seafoods (holder of FERC License 620) to study the engineering, electronics, and economics of restoring the antiquated hydropower system on Indian Creek in Chignik, Alaska. (See attached Project Area maps.) The “Chignik Hydro” project would benefit the residents of Chignik by offsetting the cost of fuel currently used to generate electricity for homes and community buildings such as the Subsistence Building and the school. Electricity generated by the new hydropower system will also benefit the new small boat harbor, the Trident Seafoods fish processing plant, and the Harris Sub-Regional Clinic, which will serve residents of Chignik Lagoon, Chignik Lake, Perryville, and Port Heiden. In addition, by re-building the dam and conveyor pipeline, the project would also be reinforcing the infrastructure that supports the city’s water system, as well as the fish plant water supply. 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 amount requested for the feasibility study is $207,500. The City of Chignik cannot offer a match and would depend on AEA to fund the entire study. See attached project cost summary. Trident Seafoods is volunteering use of their FERC license. 2.4 PROJECT BENEFIT Briefly discuss the financial benefits that will result from this project, including an estimate of economic benefits(such as reduced fuel costs) and a description of other benefits to the Alaskan public. A feasibility study, including economic analyses, is necessary to accurately define the benefits of a new hydropower system in Chignik. The new power system is expected to burn upwards of 37,142 gallons of diesel per year, at a cost of $141,139 the City of Chignik (based on 2008 cost of $3.80/gal). Preliminary data suggest that a new hydropower system on Indian Lake and Indian Creek may generate upwards of 1,580,000 kWh per year (with the load not evenly distributed throughout the year, however). The feasibility study will determine the actual potential of the resource, but it is reasonable to believe that some significant portion of the existing cost for diesel may be displaced each year by renewable resources. The feasibility study will include conceptual design and project configuration, both of which will affect potential energy production and ultimate productivity of the resource.

Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 7 of 14 9/3/2008 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 Chignik Hydro project begins at the dam at Indian Lake, 425 feet above the community of Chignik. (See attached Project Area Maps.) Its reservoir capacity is estimated at 135 acre feet of water. The lake has a 24’ high dam at its outlet, from the base of which a 7,700 pipeline channels water through a penstock down the hillside to the fish plant. The pipeline carries an estimated 2,000 gallons per minute (gpm) to the fish plant (at a flow rate of approximately 4.4 cfs). Excess water passes the dam over a spillway and flows into Indian Creek, the stream that runs 2.4-miles through the valley and down to the city, passing the fish plant as it goes out to the bay. The lower reaches of Indian Creek provides habitat to pink and Coho salmon which depend on minimal stream flows. The pipeline currently delivers an estimated 2,000 gpm to the fish plant, where a 60 kW generator creates a small amount of electricity for use in fish plant operations. The turbine requires a steady flow of 1,200 gpm (2.7 cfs), after which the water is used for both plant operations and city water. City water consumption is estimated to be a steady 50 gpm. Polarconsult has collected stream flow data for Indian Creek (modeled to reflect total water discharging from behind the dam). The data indicate a monthly average flow level of 46.5 cfs. Monthly rates range from a low of 7.5 cfs in March, to levels as high as 107.3 cfs in October. The feasibility study, including hydrological studies of the reservoir, the storage, and the load, is necessary to better define the physical resource. Other options for renewable energy exist in Chignik. Wind energy is a viable alternative. The area has a Class 5 rating for wind energy, only two levels below the highest possible rating, Class 7. Studies of developing the wind energy in Chignik have indicated that excessive turbulence might damage wind tower facilities, however.

Hydropower has a long history in the community, however. The existing infrastructure has been in use for over 60 years—it is a known commodity and a dependable source of renewable energy. It’s an old system, however, and needs repair all the way from the dam to the penstock, the pipeline, and the generator. Rebuilding Chignik Hydro will also accomplish the task of protecting the residents’ drinking water, which also depends on the infrastructure of the Chignik Hydro system. 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. There are currently two separate power generation systems in operation in Chignik; one with three diesel-fired generators (total capacity 525 kW) and the other with two diesel generators (total capacity 125 kW). The Alaska Energy Authority is currently replacing these systems with a single, integrated system; a new powerhouse, three new diesel generators, and new distribution lines in Chignik. The new system will be operational by January 2009. It will comprise three diesel-powered generators (units of 125, 175, and 22 kW) for a capacity of 525 kW. The community demand for 520,000 kWh will be easily met with the new system. The new system was designed to meet the estimated growing in community electricity demand through 2018, after which additional measures will be necessary to meet projected demands. 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. The city-owned electric utility runs exclusively off diesel fuel. With the AEA upgrades about to go on-line, the three diesel-fired generators which will produce approximately 520,000 kWh per year. The generators have a tested efficiency rating of 14 gal/kWh, which means annual fuel consumption will reach 37,142 gallons. The conceptual design component of the feasibility study will determine the level of energy production can be achieved. That will affect the new hydropower system’s impact on the existing energy infrastructure. It can be said, however, that with the expectation that by 2018 years the new diesel generation system will need to be expanded, the addition of hydroelectric will buy time on the new system. 4.2.3 Existing Energy Market Discuss existing energy use and its market. Discuss impacts your project may have on energy customers. In 2007, Chignik Electric served a community population of 95, with 49 residences and 11 community facilities. The two-system utility generated a total of 584,718 kWh and from that amount sold a total of 529,938 kWh. Diesel fuel usage totaled 66,378 gal. (The new AEA system will operate at an efficiency nearly twice that of the old system.) In 2007 the average price of Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 9 of 14 9/3/2008 fuel was $2.68 per gallon, and the cost to the city to generate electricity totaled $177,861. The efficiency of the generators was measured at 8.81. Average residential rates were $0.47 per kWh. The feasibility study will include analyses of the community’s current and projected energy use, with special focus on the new community facilities; the small boat harbor, the Harris Sub- Regional Clinic. The economic analysis will consider the effect on fuel efficiency and cost savings on residential rates. 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 feasibility study is necessary to best understand the potential of the resource, the conceptual plan, as well as the economics, productivity, permitting, and practical aspects of construction. It will address all aspects of capacity, annual power generation, anticipated barriers and delivery methods. 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. Trident Seafoods owns the FERC License (No. 620). There is a 100-foot Right-Of-Way around the dam and the length of the penstock, part of the FERC license (see “Area Use Map: Chignik” Attachment). The land surrounding the Right-Of-Way is currently owned by Far West Inc., the ANCSA Village Corporation, but is part of a 1,340 acre parcel which is currently in the process of being transferred (via 14 C-3) to the City of Chignik. 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 The feasibility study will account for all applicable permits for project testing and development. Trident Seafoods owns the FERC License for the water resource. Polarconsult Alaska has experience obtaining the DEC Water Use permits for stream flow analysis, dam maintenance, and the draining Indian Lake as part of reservoir maintenance. Permits and compliance measures enforced by USFWS and ADF&G will be addressed as part of the feasibility study. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 10 of 14 9/3/2008 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 The feasibility study will include consultation with USFWS and ADF&G to define what environmental compliance measures would be necessary for the reconstruction of Chignik Hydro. Mitigation measures may be required in the areas of habitat (salmon spawning areas in lower Indian Creek), and wetlands. Working on top of the existing hydropower system footprint would probably ease compliance in areas of archaeological and historic resources and threatened or endangered species. 4.4 Proposed New System Costs (Total Estimated Costs and proposed Revenues) The level of cost information provided will vary according to the phase of funding requested and any previous work the applicant may have done on the project. Applicants must reference the source of their cost data. For example: Applicants Records or Analysis, Industry Standards, Consultant or Manufacturer’s estimates. 4.4.1 Project Development Cost Provide detailed project cost information based on your current knowledge and understanding of the project. Cost information should include the following: • Total anticipated project cost, and cost for this phase • Requested grant funding • Applicant matching funds – loans, capital contributions, in-kind • Identification of other funding sources • Projected capital cost of proposed renewable energy system • Projected development cost of proposed renewable energy system The budget and cost-descriptions presented here are for the feasibility study only. Estimated costs for development of Chignik Hydro will be contained in the final feasibility study product. Total anticipated cost for the feasibility study is $207,500. The City of Chignik is unable to offer matching funds and requests AEA funding for the entire study. 4.4.2 Project Operating and Maintenance Costs Include anticipated O&M costs for new facilities constructed and how these would be funded by the applicant. • Total anticipated project cost for this phase • Requested grant funding The budget and cost-descriptions presented here are for the feasibility study only. Estimated costs for Operation and Maintenance of Chignik Hydro will be contained in the final feasibility study product. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 11 of 14 9/3/2008 4.4.3 Power Purchase/Sale The power purchase/sale information should include the following: • Identification of potential power buyer(s)/customer(s) • Potential power purchase/sales price - at a minimum indicate a price range • Proposed rate of return from grant-funded project No power will be bought or sold during the course of this feasibility study. 4.4.4 Cost Worksheet Complete the cost worksheet form which provides summary information that will be considered in evaluating the project. Cost worksheet is attached. Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 12 of 14 9/3/2008 4.4.5 Business Plan 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. The feasibility study is the first step toward developing the hydropower system. While an economic analysis (including sustainability) will be part of the feasibility study, a business plan and concepts will not be produced during this phase. 4.4.6 Analysis and Recommendations Provide information about the economic analysis and the proposed project. Discuss your recommendation for additional project development work. The feasibility study is the first step toward developing the hydropower system. Preliminary results indicate the hydro resource could potentially be a great benefit to the community, but defining that benefit requires a comprehensive feasibility study. An economic analysis (development costs, fuel-cost savings, estimates for operations and maintenance costs, etc.) and recommendations will be included in the finished feasibility study product. 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 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 The feasibility study is necessary to accurately define the benefits of a new hydropower system in Chignik. Preliminary data indicate that an improved hydropower system in Chignik may be used to generate upwards of 1,580,000 kWh of electricity per year. A hydro contribution of even half this magnitude might offset a significant percentage of the 37,142 gallons of diesel used for power generation. Examples from other, similar hydropower projects? SECTION 6 – GRANT BUDGET Tell us how much your total project costs. Include any investments to date and funding sources, how much is requested in grant funds, and additional investments you will make as an applicant. Include an estimate of budget costs by tasks using the form - GrantBudget.xls The total cost of the feasibility study will be $207,500. The City of Chignik respectfully requests Renewable Energy Fund Grant Application AEA 09-004 Grant Application Page 13 of 14 9/3/2008 the entire amount from AEA Renewable Energy grant program. The feasibility study grant budget is attached.
