[ [ [ [ [ [ 1.0 SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF MAJOR FINDINGS Surveys of households in Trapper Creek were conducted during the period October 26,1983 to November 2,1983.An estimated 69 housing units existed in the survey defined area of Trapper Creek at that time.A total of 27 housing units were identified in the canvassed primary and secondary blocks of which 23 were successfully canvassed.Of the 23 housing units successfully canvassed,3 were determined to be vacant and interviews were conducted with the remaining 20 households.An estimated 33 percent of the 60 households in the survey defined area of Trapper Creek were interviewed. [ B [] o o D D c F.·...t D [ c B o o o A summary of demographic characteristics for Trapper Creek residents shows:1)an estimated population size of 196 people in the survey defined area;2)an estimated average age for adults of 40.7 years old;3)an estimated sex distribution for the adults in the sample of 54 percent male and 46 percent female;4)zero percent of the adults sampled belong to a Native organization;5)about 85 percent of the sample households contained married heads of household with the spouse present;6)an estimated average household size of 3.2;and 7) about 0.95 school-age children (5 to 17 years old)per household in the sample. A summary of economic characteristics for Trapper Creek residents shows that:1)71 percent of all adults were in the labor force;2) approximately 56 perce~t of all adults were either employed or self- employed;3)the unemployment rate at the time of the survey was between 20 and 21 percent;4)the largest industry sectors in terms of employment were federal,state and local government (slightly higher than 29 percent),construction (18 percent),and agriculture, forestry,and commercial fisheries (15 percent);and 5)50 percent of presently employed and recently unemployed adults in the sample at the time of the survey worked in the Mat-Su Borough,about 15 percent of the sample worked in Anchorage,about 3 percent worked on the North Slope,and 32 percent worked elsewhere. A summary of housing characteristics for Trapper Creek residents shows that:1)75 percent of the interviewed households lived in Page 2 [ [ [ o owner-occupied dwelling units;2)95 percent of all surveyed house- holds lived in single-family dwelling units and 5 percent lived in duplexes;and 3)the overall vacancy rate for the 27 housing units in the sample blocks was about 11 percent. [ [ [ 6 o About 80 percent of all replies received from Trapper Creek resi- dents to ques.tions about attitudes toward available public facilities [- - - - - - - - - --ana-servi-ces-~n -l:lie -commuii:fty-were -cIa-sslfled--as-verys-a.-tIsfrecCor----..---- - satisfied.For individual services,residents were most satisfied with ambulance (100 percent favorable),the road system (95 percent favorable),and schools (83 percent favorable).Residents expressed the most dissatisfaction with indoor recreation facilities (11 per- cent unfavorable)and the lack of medical services in the community besides ambulance (11 percent unfavorable). o Trapper Creek residents rely upon fishing and hunting for recreation and food.Approximately 53 percent of the population fishes and 42 percent hunt.Of the 16 sample households that fished,no more than 56 percent fished for anyone species in the area that may be af- fected by the Susitna Hydroelectric Project.Twenty-eight percent of the total 510 person-days spent fishing by Trapper Creek residents in the sample occurred in this area.Of the 16 sample households that hunted,none spent any time in Area 2 during the last year (refer to Maps in Appendix B).In Area 1,nine households hunted moose,3 households sought ptarmigan,and 2 households went after black bear. Forty-six percent of the 427 person-days spent hunting by Trapper Creek residents in the sample occurred in Area 1.Nine percent of Trapper Creek residents trap.Eighty-six of the 345 person-days spent trapping occurred in areas that may be impacted by the Susitna Hydroelectric Project. u o D D r b n u p ~ c r~ L. I' ~ o Forty-five percent of the respondents lived outside Alaska prior to moving to Trapper Creek.Former Anchorage households made up forty percent of the Trapper Creek households in the sample.Frequently cited reasons for moving to Trapper Creek were to enjoy the quality of life (about 32 percent),and the availability of land (21 percent). Page 3 f=li [ [ D [ [ [ [ 6 o 2.0 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 2.1 OVERVIEW A number of steps were taken to determine the approach and methodology for the household survey in Trapper Creek.First,the major objectives and specific types of information needed to update the socioeconomic projections were identified.Next,a review of the literature on surveys was conducted.Third,the definitions of the populations for each of the 1threecommunitiesweredetermined. 2Asamplingframeandsamplingmethodologywereselected.The ques- tions to be included in the interviews were then developed in conjunction with the formatting of the questionnaire.Finally,an interviewer guide was developed which laid out general guidelines for the interviewers and instructions on specific questions. The questionnaire was extensively reviewed internally as well as by the Alaska Department of Community and Regional Affairs,the Alaska Depart- ment of Fish and Game,the Mat-Su Borough Planning Department,and Charlotte Thomas,an independent consultant.The survey instrument went through several iterations to reflect those review comments. o D 6 [ u u u [ u t 1 2 In statistical theory,the population refers to the total universe of II data elements'about which the researcher wishes to generalize.In this case,the population refers to the households located,at the time of the survey,within specific geographic boundaries. A sampling frame is the comprehensive listing,of the population, from which the sample was chosen. Page 4 [ [ [ [ [ [ [ 6 D o 2.2 OBJECTIVES The survey program was developed with the general objective that the results would enhance the following socioeconomic program activities: 1.Updating the data and assumptions on local baseline conditions. 2.Providing supplementary data that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requested after reviewing Exhibit E of the License Application for the Susitna project. 3.Refining and expanding the socioeconomic impact mitigation pro- gram and plan. 4.Comparing baseline data with information to be collected later as part of the socioeconomic impact monitoring program. In addition,the project team adopted the following objectives relating to the design of the·survey: D ql;J C c [ [j 1. 2. 3. 4. A methodologically sound approach that takes into account the rural nature of the area. A data·collection listing which is consistent to and com- plementary with other efforts/data bases such as the annual survey of population and housing conducted by the Mat-Su Borough Planning Department. A survey instrument that can be used throughout project planning and construction. A design that will facilitate tabulation. [ l B The project team reviewed literature pertaining to statistical theory, sampling methodologies,the advantages and disadvantages of alternative Page 5 c [ [ [ [ [ [ B interview approaches,question formulation,questionnaire design,tabu- lation systems,and analytical techniques..In addition,the method- ologies used in other surveys in Alaska were reviewed,including an In- stitute of Social and Economic Research survey used for the Tetrachemical Study in the Mat-Su Borough.Contacts were also made with individuals who have experience in conducting formal survey efforts in Alaska.In- dividuals contacted included Steve Langdon of the University of Alaska, Jack Kruse of the Institute of Social and Economic Research,and Don Dillman of Washington State University. 2.3 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE Some of the considerations taken into account during this analysis in- cluded: o o D D ~ bJ ""'l u 1. 2. 3. 4. The need for a relatively large sample because of the small size of the population. The significant percentage of residents in the northern part of the Mat-Su Borough that do not have phones. The low density of housing units in many areas,and the sig- nificant percentage of residents that live away from direct road access. The need for a high response rate,to avoid a skewed or un- successful survey. "'I u u d od -' It was believed that a repres~ntative sample of the preliminary popu- lation could best be obtained by using a face-to-face approach.Face- to-face approaches typically provide high response rates.In Trapper Creek,the only disadvantage of using a face-to-face interview approach was that the population was dispersed.There were significant numbers of residents living away from the roads and there is no defined core for the community.The Trapper Creek.;area was defined as the corridor along Petersville Road between the Peters Creek area and the Susitna River. Page 6 l [ 2.3.1 Sampling Frame The use of assessment records has the following limitations: The Mat-Su Borough Assessor's records of housing units,reported in an array by township-range-section-parcel,were selected to be the sampling frame for the survey in Trapper Creek.This sampling frame was con- sistent with the annual survey of population and housing conducted by the Mat-Su Borough.It was considered to provide a representative sampling frame for the northern part of the Mat-Su Borough;other possible list- ings,such as the phone book and voters registration records,were less comprehensive and would not provide a valid basis for the sampling.The Borough does not require building permits for housing units,so an up- to-date listing for housing units was not available. c [ [ [ p L o o r s A ~ 9 I~~ fa' '-' ~ =:.J 1. 2. 3. 4. Some housing units are vacant. Assessment records may be up to a year old,depending upon where the borough is in the cycle of field work at the time the computer run was conducted. Mobile homes are sometimes recorded as personal property rather than real property and thus are not included on the real property assessment records. Structures are classified by principal use;therefore, residences which are within or above commercial buildings are not identified on the computer record. , =3 '9 J .J .J , J To compensate for the two most important of these limitations (/12 and #3),the sample was drawn in blocks.The interviewers were instructed to interview all housing units in the block,even if this unit did not ap- pear on the assessment records.In order to limit the amount of time spent trying to locate residents in households that may not be occupied, the interviewers were instructed to attempt to contact a household up to Page 7 [ [ r L [ [ [ r L o D nw n W o :.~ [3 '--' d -: ..... = three times,and then to list the unit as vacant or not-at-home,as ap- propriate.To facilitate the call-back process,a card was used by the interviewer that specified the next time a call would occur.If the respondent would not be home at that time,he or she was asked to state on the call-back card when they would be available and to leave the card out upon the interviewer's second call-back. 2.3.2 Sample Selection A sample size of 30 percent of the housing units listed in the Assessor's was established.The sample selection process used was similar to the process used by the Mat-Su Borough in its annual population surveys.The communities were divided into blocks (census blocks,when these were delineated on the maps provided by the Mat-Su Borough),the blocks were each assigned a number,and a sample of blocks was chosen using a random sample technique,as described below.All housing units in the desig- nated blocks on the list were canvassed,in the block order listed. A target number of successfully canvassed housing units was developed for each community.The primary blocks selected for each community contained more than the required 30 percent of housing units,in order to allow for unsuccessful interviews.However,a procedure was developed for can- vassing secondary blocks in case the required number of successful inter- views was not obtained. If the interviewer was unable to meet the target number of households from within the primary block listings,for any of the reasons listed below,the interviewer was directed to canvass secondary blocks until the target was reached. A housing unit was considered to be successfully canvassed if: w J u ~ -' l. 2. 3. An interview occurred. The unit was identified as vacant by a neighbor. The interviewer attempted to calIon the housing unit three times,at different times of day,was not able to find anyone at home and there was no evidence that the unit was currently occupied. Page 8 [ [ r L [ [ [ [ o D o ~L; W R lj :3 =-~ d -" cJ ~ J .... --, A housing unit was considered not successfully canvassed if: 1.The household declined to be interviewed. 2.The housing unit could not be located. 3.It was impossible to gain access to the housing unit. 4.It was clear that someone was living at the residence,even though 3 calls at the household were not sufficient to find a resident at home. In Trapper Creek,the population is distributed in a long corridor along the Petersville road,and it was believed by the study team that resi- dents'occupations and lifestyles may differ in different.parts of the corridor.For instance,persons operating businesses may tend to live near the junction of the Parks Highway and Petersville road,while miners and trappers may tend to live farther west along the Petersville road. For this reason,the sample in Trapper Creek was chosen using a system- atic sampling technique.The first block was chosen randomly,and every third block was chosen thereafter. In the course of the fieldwork,it became clear that two of the blocks farthest out the Petersville Road,to the west,would not be accessible by use of a four-wheel drive vehicle,due to snow.These were treated as .unsuccessful canvasses,and a secondary block on Oilwell Road was can- vassed instead.The survey-defined area of Trapper Creek included all of the housing units within a quarter of a mile from the Petersville Road between the Peters Creek area to the Susi tna River,all housing units within a quarter of mile of Oilwell Road on the portion that extends south for six miles from the Petersville Road,and all housing units in the Trapper Creek subdivsion. Based upon conversations with local residents,it is believed that the substitution has skewed the sample slightly,and that the major effect of the substitution will be on the categorization of occupations in the community (as indicated above,a larger proportion of miners and trappers are believed to live farther west).In other respects,the population is considered to be sufficiently homogenous so that the representativeness of the sample will not be undermined • Page 9 n L~ !' c"' u I' L.; n '--' n '--' Ii --.J n tJ o Fj ;J E'l g d ~ :3 =J ~ ~ --' ~ -1i ...;i ...J 2.3.3 The Questionnaire The survey instrument is 20 pages long.Four hand-out sheets were used to facilitate understanding of questions about employment status,indus- try of the employed,occupation,and attitudes about public facilities and services,and two maps were used to assist respondents in answering questions dependent -upon--geographic -areas .(mos-t--notably-,--questions -pei----------. taining to hunting,fishing,and trapping).A copy of the survey in- strument is provided in Appendix B. The field work was conducted between October 26,1983 and November 2, 1983.The Trapper Creek interviewers completed 20 interviews in that time.The interviewers were familiarized with the substantive aspects of this questionnaire and reviewed basic interviewing techniques.In ad- dition,these interviewers were given a written set of guidelines to fol- low should specific situations or questions arise.This information is contained in Appendix C. The survey instrument was pre-tested in Cantwell.on October 21-22,1983. It was tested for its clarity,consistency,and logic of question or- dering.It was also tested on Native and non-Native respondents and young and elderly residents to ensure comprehension by all of the re- spondents who were likely to be included in the sample.Modifications to the questionnaire were made as a result of the pre-test. Completed questionnaires were checked each night for data problems or inconsistencies by the community interviewers. Page 10 [ [ [ [ [ [ [ o c o o 6.•B ~ E [ C l C C 3.0 ANALYSIS OF RESULTS 3.1 INTRODUCTION Several conventions are followed throughout the analysis section to allow the reader quick and easy reference to the tables in Appendix A.Tables in the appendix are ordered in a sequence that corresponds to the way in which the questions appear in the survey instrument.Some responses will not appear in the appendix.Those responses not appearing at this time were not included because either they were contingent or secondary ques- tions that received few responses or they are already incorporated in the text.Tables that appear in the text were referenced to a question that appears in the survey instrument.The instrument is presented as Ap- pendix B. Responses to the survey questions allow the researcher to derive sample statistics such as means or proportions.These statistics are used to generalize from the,sample to the entire population.Sample statistics provide a point estimate of the true population parameter.However,due to sampling error,it would be an exceptional coincidence if the point estimate provided by the sample statistic were identical to the popula- tion parameter.A major weakness of point estimates is that they do not permit any expression of uncertainty about the sample statistic's ability to estimate the population parameter of interest.Uncertainty about estimating ability requires a procedure that calculates an interval about which one has a degree of certainty that the true population parameter is contained within a specified range. Construction of confidence intervals was the technique employed to pro- vide a degree of certainty about the sample statistic's ability to es- timate the population parameter.The intervals are created about the sample statistic and require information about the probability of error that one is willing to accept,the size of the sample,the sampling dis- tribution,and the sample statistic used as an estimator. Page 11 n L_J n L--< n u n lJ A" , L-< n LA r L RU Q n· I ~ Q n b 9 d "l -J :J '1l =' w ~ J ~ u r:]! Smaller sample sizes,extreme values in the distribution of observations, and acceptable risks of error no larger than 10 percent led to several confidence intervals that were quite large for some of the sample sta- tistics. In calculating confidence intervals,the researcher determines the risk of error that is acceptable for the purposes of the research.A five percent probability of error that intervals constructed will not contain the true population parameter value is typically selected.Confidence levels are defined as one minus the probability of error.In this case, a 95 percent confidence interval procedure would be used.Construction of intervals using 95 percent confidence levels implies that in 95 out of 100 samples of the same size,the intervals constructed about the sample statistics would be expected to contain the population parameter value. In the other five intervals,the population parameter value would lie outside the interval constructed.In other words,by using this pro- cedure we would be assured that the probability of any interval con- taining the population parameter value is 95 percent. 3.2 SURVEY RESULTS 3.2.1 Demographic Characteristics Demographic characteristics that profile the population consist of age, sex,race,relationship to head of household,marital status,household size,number of school-age children,and size of the population. 3.2.1.1 Age.According to Table 1,children in Trapper Creek made up 35 percent of the persons in households while the elderly (65 or more years old)accounted for about 3 percent of the sample.The elderly proportion was smaller than the 4 percent estimated for the entire Mat-Su Borough during 1982.The proportions of children and elderly in the Trapper Creek population were comparable to those of the State.Recent State estimates (1982)show these proportions to have been 30 to 35 percent and 3 percent,respectively.Mean age of the sample was 30.1 years while the Page 12 as "other."

Adult inhabitants ranged in age from 18 years old to 67 years old.The median age of adults was 41 years old,and the mean age was slightly less. 3.2.1.2 Sex.About 54 percent of the adults in the sample were male, and about 46 percent were female.The percentage of males in the 1982 State of Alaska population was between 52 and 53 percent.The true pro- portion for males,using a 95 percent confidence interval about the mean, would lie between 38 and 69 percent. 3.2.1.4 Household Relationships and Marital Status.About 49 percent (20)of the 41 adults in the sample stated that they were the head of household,about 42 percent (17)were defined as spouses of the head of household,about 7 percent (3)were classified as children of the head of household,and the remaining 2 percent (1)of the sample were classified [ [ [ [ [-- [ [ o c c o [] c U E C [j lJ C c [ [ [ c [ [ D D".,~ o o o o c E r: L.; r: L. nu Q u The average age of heads of household was slightly over 45 years old. Comparing the age of heads of households to all adults in the sample shows that heads of household were four years older than the average age for all adults.The defined heads of household in Trapper Creek were estimated to be 90 percent male (18)and 10 percent female (2). The responses to questions about relationship to head of household in- ------------ - - - ---- - - - - - - - - - - - - ------ - - - - - - - ---- dicated slightly more than 82.9 percent of hhe adults in the sample were married and living with their spouses.A 95 percent confidence interval about the sample proportion is between 71 percent and 95 percent. 3.2.1.5 Household Size.Trapper Creek had an average household size of 3.2 persons per household compared to the statewide average household size in 1980 of 2.93.The number of adults per household in Trapper Creek was estimated at 2.1. 3.2.1.6'School-Age Children.There were approximately 1.1 children per household in the sample.In total,the sample population was composed of about 5 percent pre-school children,about 17 percent primary school-age children,and about 13 percent secondary school-age children.Primary school-age children represented 58 percent of total school-age children in the community. The proportions of children per household were extended to the total estimated number of households that exist in the survey-defined area of Trapper Creek (61 households)to yield estimates of the total number of children in the community:9 pre-school children,34 primary school-age children,and 24 ~econdary school-age children.It was not possible to check these numbers against school enrollment figures since the survey- defined area of Trapper Creek represents only a portion of the area that is included in the local school district. 3.2.1.7 Population.There were 66 housing units in the survey-defined area of Trapper Creek during 1982.Based on 1983 survey results,the total was adjusted to 69 housing units in 1983.A vacancy rate of 11.1 Page 14 [ [ [ [ [-- [ [ o o o D q [j J ..:J ~ d ~1 cd '--' J -iJ ;) d percent was determined from sample results.The October vacancy rate was considered to be an approximate average for the year since,during the summer,many seasonal job holders and householders are present in the area causing vacancy rates to be lower than in October and,during Jan- uary,those same seasonal jobholders and householders usually leave the area,causing the vacancy rates to be higher in the area.Therefore,an overall occupancy rate for the community of 88.9 percent is considered accurate. Multiplying the 69 housing units by the occupancy rate yields an es- timated 61 occupied households in the community.Multiplying the number of households by the estimated average household size of 3.2 yields an estimated population of 196 people in the survey-defined are~of Trapper Creek. 3.2.2 Economic Characteristics Economic characteristics that profile the population consist of em- ployment status,occupation status,industry of the employed,occupation of the unemployed,and the location of jobs.In addition,several char- acteristics can be combined from the household and business surveys to provide information on employment by place of work versus employment by place of residence,and commuting patterns. 3.2.2.1 EmplOyment.All the adults in the sample were asked to describe their current employment status.According to Table 2,about 71 percent (29)of adults in the sample out of the 41 respondents described them- selves as in the labor force which includes both employed and unemployed persons.Of the 29 adults,more than 79 percent were currently employed (or self-employed)and about 21 percent were unemployed but actively seeking work.Retired adults made up about 10 percent of the sample, homemakers made up over 12 percent of the sample,students accounted for over 2 percent of the sample,and inactive unemployed accounted for about 5 percent of the respondents. Page 15 3.2.2.2 Hours Worked Per Week.Of the 34 respondents who answered this question,almost 80 percent were considered to be employed full-time. Full-time employment is defined as working at least 35 hours per week. About 12 percent worked less than 20 hours per week.Adults working between 30 and 34 hours accounted for 8 to 9 percent of the sample. Results appear in Table 3.

Secondary skills held by Trapper Creek residents were weighted toward the professional,technical,and managerial group (about 27 percent),service occupation groups (about 20 percent),and the structural trades (about 20 percent).Representing about 7 percent each of the 15 responses received to this question were the agriculture,fishery,and forestry occupations, machine trades,and clerical trades.Thirteen percent had their second- ary skills classified as miscellaneous. Respondents were asked to identify the name of the establishment that they presently or most recently worked for.The establishments were subsequently classified into industry categories that are used by the Alaska Department of Labor.The largest industry sector is government, accounting for over 29 percent (10)of the labor force.Construction,at about 18 percent (6)of the 34 respondents,was the second largest sector in the community.Agriculture,forestry,and commercial fisheries ac- counted for about 15 percent (5)of the recent employment in the sample. The mining sector at 12 percent (4)of total recent employment was the fourth largest sector in the community.

Of the 20 responses to this question,95 percent (19)of the households were living in single-family dwelling units,and 5 percent resided in duplexes. Page 21 Source:(Q20),Frank Orth &Associates,Inc.,1984. 3.2.3.4 Housing Characteristics.Each household in the sample was asked whether five characteristics existed in the household.The percentage responding positively to each characteristic is shown below in Table 10. 3.2.3.2 Ownership Characteristics.Seventy":'five percent of the 20 households interviewed owned the dwelling unit that they lived in,while 25 percent of the adults in households were renters.A ninety-five per- cent confidence interval about the sample proportion for oWnership im- plies that the true proportion would lie between 56 and 94 percent. 3.2.3.3 Vacancy Rates.A vacancy rate was tabulated for all of the 27 housing units that were found in the sample blocks.About 11 percent (3) of the housing units were determined to be vacant in the sample blocks at the time the survey was taken.A ninety-five percent confidence about the sample proportion for vacancy rate implies that the true proportion would lie between 5 percent and 17 percent. 95.0% 5.0% 100.0% 19 1 20 Frequency Distribution Number Percent Table 9 Housing Type Table 10 Housing Characteristics N =20 Cate~ Single Family Duplexes nI~u [ [ [ [ c [ [ B B o R.·.....~8 6 ng [Cate~ Frequency Number Distribution Percent Page 22 Source:(Q22),Frank Orth &Associates,Inc.,1984.

Only 6 of the 13 services included in the survey instrument were locally available to residents of Trapper Creek.These were state trooper pro- tection,schools,ambulance,other medical services besides ambulance, road system,and indoor recreation facilities.Other services such as solid waste disposal,other transportation,mental health services,li- braries,fire protection,and social services were not locally avail- able. The ambulance received the highest percentage of positive responses (100 percent),followed by the road system (95 percent),and schools (83 per- cent).The highest percentage of neutral and unfavorable responses were received by indoor recreation facilities (28 percent)because of the limited number of facilities.The next service to receive a large number of neutral or unfavorable responses was state trooper protection (25 percent).Unfavorable responses were largely due to perceived lack of protection because of shortages in manpower.

Accordingly,questions similar to those in the Mat-Su Borough survey of population and housing were asked of respondents about the amount of time spent in Trapper Creek.Between 9 and 10 percent (6)of the 63 residents in the sample answered that they usually work outside of Trapper Creek in one-week work/one-week home or two-week work/two-week home schedules,and thus would not qualify with the residency requirement of living in Trap- per Creek four days a week or more. The monthly difference in the number of adult inhabitants who live in Trapper Creek throughout the year was identified in the sample results and shown in Table 13.The number of adults living in Trapper Creek in January through April 1983 was equal to only 54 percent of the total number living in the community at the time of the survey.

Part of the variation in seasona1i ty of residence can be explained by looking at the location of jobs held by residents.According to the 34 responses received to this question,12 adults in the sample had jobs that were located in areas outside of the Mat-Su Borough,Anchorage,and Fairbanks. Seasonal variations are important factors in explaining the number of year-round residents and in estimating the demand on public facilities and services in the community.The survey data suggest that only 54 percent of the population living in the community in September 1983 were there year-round. According to the sample results,adult inhabitants of Trapper Creek have spent an average of 4.3 years in the community.Length of residency data show that about 20 percent of the adult inhabitants interviewed in Trap- per Creek have lived in the community for less than 2 years,with over 12 Page 26 Source:(Q26);Frank Orth &Associates,Inc.,1984. percent having moved into the community in the six months prior to the survey.In contrast,22 percent (9)of all adult inhabitants have lived in Trapper Creek for more than 10 years.Results appear in Table 14. 3.2.5.2 Prior Location of Residence.Respondents were asked to state where they lived prior to moving to Trapper Creek and why they chose to move to Trapper Creek.Forty-five percent of residents (9)lived out- of-state before moving to Trapper Creek,according to Table 15.The next largest number of in-migrants came from Anchorage (40 percent).Other locations in Alaska excluding Anchorage and the Mat-Su Borough accounted for 15 percent of the in-migrants in Trapper Creek.

There were a total of 427 person-days spent by the 27 people in the sam- ple who hunt;46 percent of the days (196)were spent in Area 1 and none were spent in Area 2 (see Map 2 in Appendix B).Area 1 represents those areas within 10 miles of the Parks Highway and Denali Highway corridors. Area 2 represents the area that would be made more accessible if an ac- cess road is built from the Denali Highway to the project site. The distribution of species sought by people in Trapper Creek who hunt in Area 1 was gathered from responses to questions about person-days spent hunting in Area 1 and Area 2 and what species were sought.In addition, the total harvest by species was also asked of households.Harvest in- formation has been summarized in Table 21 for Area 1.

There were a total of 345 person-days spent by the 6 people in the sample who trap.Eighty-six percent of those days (297)were spent in Area 1 and none were spent in Area 2 (see Map 2 in Appendix B). The species sought by people in Trapper Creek who trap in Area 1 was gath- ered from responses to questions about person-days spent trapping in Area 1 and Area 2 and what species were sought.In addition,the total harvest by species was also asked of households.Harvest information has been summarized in Table 24.

Because of the methodology used,a number of Issues may come up In trying to locate households: I.Some units may be vacant. 2.We do not have the names of the residents we are trying to reach. 3.In some areas where roads are scarce,the map will not be specific as to where the housing unit is.This wl~1 be of most consequence in the Trapper Creek survey. 4.The assessor records may be outdated,and additional housing units may be found in some blocks • ., ""', B.Operational procedures: ~I.Attempt to survey the blocks In the order listed. 1 2.Conduct the Interviews between 9 a.m. that the t I me Is I ncon ven I ent for the ment 10r a better time.Be on time for and 9 p.m.If respondent,set appointments.
