- - "... o o A summary of demographic characteristics for Cantwell residents shows:1)an estimated population size of 193 people;2)an estimated average adult age of 43.7 years old;3)an estimated sex distribution for adults in the sample of 63 percent male and 37 per- cent female;4)approximately 18 percent of the adults sampled belong to a Native organization;5)about 54 percent of the sample house- holds contained married heads of household with the spouse presen t; 6)an estimated average household size of 2.38;and 7)0.6 school-age children (5 to 17 years old)per household in the sample. A summary of economic characteristics for Cantwell residents shows that:1)73 percent of all adults were in the labor force;2)ap- proximately 55 percent of all adults were either employed or self- employed;3)the unemployment rate at the time of the survey was between 24 and 25 percent;4)the largest industry sectors in terms of employment were federal,state and local government (about 26 percent),retail trade (over 23 percent),and services (about 19 percent),and construction (about 19 percent);and 5)about 69 per- cent of presently employed and recently unemployed adults in the sample at the time of the survey worked within 10 miles of Cantwell, over 2 percent of the sample worked on the North Slope,and almost 29 percent worked in other remote areas of Alaska or out-of-state. o A summary of housing characteristics for Cantwell residents shows that:1)about 61 percent of the interviewed households lived in Page 2 ..... owner-occupied dwelling units;2)over 64 percent of all surveyed households lived in single-family dwellings,over 32 percent lived in mobile homes,and the remaining 4 percent lived in multi-family units;and 3)the vacancy rate in the sample was about 36 percent. o Over half of all replies received from Cantwell residents to ques- tions about attitudes toward available public facilities and services in the community were classified as very satisfied or satisfied.For individual services,residents were most satisfied with ambulance (82 percent favorable)and state trooper protection (79 percent favor- able).Residents expressed the most dissatisfaction with the solid waste or garbage disposal system (57 percent unfavorable)and the road system (29 percent unfavorable)• o About 39 percent of the respondents lived outside Alaska prior to moving to Cantwell.Former Anchorage households made up over 17 -o percent of the Cantwell households in the sample,as did former Fair- banks households and Mat-Su Borough households.Frequently cited reasons for moving to Cantwell were to obtain a job (about 29 per- cent),for recreation opportunities (about 17 percent),and the availability of housing and availability of land (8 percent each). Cantwell residents fish and hunt for recreation and food.About 67 percent of the population fishes and 56 percent hunt.About 13 per- cent (3)of the 24 households that fished in the sample,sought rain- bow trout in the area that may be affected by the Susi tna Hydro- electric Project.One percent of the total 1,093 fishing-days spent by Cantwell residents in the sample occurred in this area.Of the 21 sample households that hunted,16 households hunted moose,12 house- holds sought caribou and ptarmigan,and 9 households went after rab- bit in Area 1.Of the 817 hunter-days spent by Cantwell residents in the sample,77 percent occurred in Area 1 and 8 percent in Area 2. Five households went after moose and cart bou in Area 2,wi th fewer numbers going after all other species.About 13 percent of Cantwell residents trap.Of all trapping-days spent by Cantwell residents,65 percent occurred in Area I and 29 percent occurred in Area 2.Im- portant species in both areas include marten,lynx,wolf,red fox, and wolverine. Page 3 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 Cantwell.First,the major objectives and specific types of information needed to update the socioeconomic pro- jections were identified.Next,a review of the literature on surveys was conducted.Third,the definitions of the populations for each of the three communities were determined.l A sampling frame and sampling methodology were 2selected.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. - - 1 2 In statistical theory,the population refers to the total universe of "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 ...... 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: 1.A methodologically sound approach that takes into account the rural nature of the area. 2.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. 3.A survey instrument that can be used throughout project planning and construction. 4.A design that will facilitate tabulation. The project team reviewed literature p.ertaining to statistical theory, sampling methodologie's,the advantages and disadvantages of alternative Page 5 .- 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 Tetrachemica1 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: 1.The need for a relatively large sample because of the small size of the population. -2.The significant percentage of residents in the Cantwell area that do not have phones. 3.The low density of housing units in many areas,and the sig- nificant percentage of residents that live away from direct road access. 4.The need for a high response rate,to avoid a skewed or un- successful survey. - - It was believed that a representative 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 Cantwell, there were no disadvantages to using a 'face-to-face interview approach because the population was concentrated. Page 6 .- -- - - 2.3.1 Sampling Frame A listing of all housing units in the community,compiled by the Com- munity of Cantwell,Inc.in 1982,provided the sampling frame in Cant- well.This sampling frame was considered to be the best available list- ing for the community at the time.Other possible listings,such as the phone book and voters registration records,were less comprehensive and would not provide a valid basis for the sampling.There is no local government in Cantwell or for the unorganized borough in which it is located,so an up-to-date listing of building permits and housing units was not available. The use of the housing unit listing has the following limitations: 1.Some housing units are vacant. 2.The listing was about a year old. 3.Structures are classified by principal use;therefore, residences which are within or above commercial buildings may not be identified. To compensate for the two most important of these limitations un 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 listing.In order to limit the amount of time spent trying to locate residents in households that may not be occupied,the in- terviewer was instructed to attempt to contact a household up to three times,and then to list the unit as vacant or not-at-home,as appro- priate.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. Page 7 - 2.3.2 Sample Selection A sample size of 30 percent of the housing units listed was established. The sample selection process used was similar to the process used by the Mat-Su Borough in its annual population surveys.The Community of Cantwell,Inc.provided a map (created in 1982)of known housing structures in the community which were grouped into blocks.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 designated blocks on the list were canvassed,in the block order listed. A target number of successfully canvassed housing units was developed for the communi ty.The primary blocks selected for the community contained more than the required 30 percent of housing units,in order to allow for unsuccessful interviews.However,a procedure was developed for canvass- ing 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 wi thin 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: r I r r r r r 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 A housing unit was considered not successfully canvassed if: l. 2. 3. 4. The household declined to be interviewed. The housing unit could not be located. It was impossible to gain access to the housing unit. 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. r r r r r r A cluster sampling technique,using random selection techniques wi thin each cluster was deemed appropriate for sample selection in Cantwell because there was geographic stratification of the population.Two sub- groups of the residents in Cantwell (Natives and non-Natives)were geo- graphically concentrated in certain areas in the community.Three sepa- rate clusters of households were identified:1)units clustered around the "old townsite,"2)housing near the junction of the Parks and Denali Highways,and 3)housing located along the Denali Highway to the east. To ensure the representativeness of the sample,blocks which accounted for 30 percent of the housing in each cluster were randomly selected using a random number table. During the course of the survey,it was discovered that a large per- centage of the housing in the sample of one of the clusters included vacant housing and non-residential structures,thus indicating a smaller population than first thought.The target sample size for this portion of Cantwell was increased to 60 percent (and residents living in second- ary blocks were interviewed)in order to ensure the representativeness of the sample and to successfully canvass at least 30 percent of the exist- ing housing units in the cluster. For six months prior to the survey,Cantwell was a staging area for con- struction of the Anchorage-Fairbanks Intertie transmission line.The managers of the project lived in a project-specific mobile home park. However,_the majority of workers on the Intertie project lived in one of the lodges in the community.They were not canvassed because of their Page 9 - r r r r r r r r r T temporary status in Cantwell and because they are the subject of a con- struction worker survey which will be tabulated in early 1984.Thus, they are not heavily represented in the survey.Approximately 7 percent of the adults in the sample were working or had worked on the Intertie. 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,in- dustry 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 (most notably,questions per- 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 Cantwell interviewer completed 28 interviews in that time. The interviewer was familiarized with the substantive aspects of this questionnaire and reviewed basic interviewing techniques.In addition, this interviewer was given a written set of guidelines to follow 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 interviewer. Page 10 ,~ "..., I I r r 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 ¥ill not appear in the appendix..Those !esponses 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 popu- lation 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 param- eter 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 esti- mate the population parameter.The intervals are created about the sam- ple statistic and require information about the probability of error that one is willing to accept,the size of the sample,the sampling distri- bution,and the sample statistic used as an estimator. Page 11 r .... -! - r r r r 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 contain- ing 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 Cantwell made up almost 24 percent of the persons in households while the elderly (65 or more years old)accounted for about 9 percent of the sample.There were fewer children and more elderly as a proportion of the Cantwell population as compared to the State.Recent State estimates (1982)show these propor- tions to have been 30 to 35 percent and 3 percent,respectively.Mean age of the sample was about 36 years while the median was 36 years. Similar values for the mean and median imply that the distribution of ages for the sample approximates a bell-shaped curve.In 1982,average age in Alaska was 27.6 years. Page 12 Adult inhabitants ranged in age from 19 years old to 75 years old.The median age of adults was 39 years old,and the mean age was 44 years.

The average age of heads of household was about 42 years old.The de- fined heads of household in Cantwell were estimated to be about 81 per- cent male (21)and over 19 percent female (5).Two households had no clearly defined head. The responses to questions about relationship to head of household in- dicated that about 55 percent of the adults in the sample were married and living with their spouses.A 95 percent confidence interval about the sample proportion is between 41 percent and 69 percent. 3.2.1.5 Household Size.Talkeetna had an average household size of 2.38 persons per household compared to the statewide average household size in 1980 of 2.93.The number of adults per household in Cantwell was esti- mated at 1.8. 3.2.1.6 School-Age Children.There were approximately 0.55 children per household in the sample.In total,the sample population was composed of about 5 percent pre-school children,about 8 percent primary schoo~-age children,and about 12 percent secondary school-age children.Primary school-age children represented about 38 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 Cantwell (81 households)to yield estimates of the total number of children in the community:9 pre- school children,14 primary school-age children,and 22 secondary school- age children.The estimate of 36 school-age children corresponds closely with the actual enrollment figures given for the Cantwell school of 32. Page 14 - - - .... 3.2.1.7 Population.There were 97 housing units in Cantwell during 1982.Based on 1983 survey results,the total was adjusted to 126 housing units in 1983.A vacancy rate of 35.7 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 jobholders and householders are present in the area,causing vacancy rates to be lower than in October and,during January,those same seasonal jobholders and householders usually leave the area,causing the vacancy rates to be higher in Cantwell.Therefore,an overall occupancy. rate for the community of 64.3 percent is considered accurate. Multiplying the 126 housing units by the occupancy rate yields an esti- mated 81 occupied households in the community.Multiplying the number of households by the estimated average household size of 2.38 yields an estimated population of 193 people in Cantwell. 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 73 percent of adults in the sample (37)out of the 51 respondents described them- selves as labor force participants which includes both employed and un- employed persons.Of the 37 adults,more than 76 percent were currently employed (or self-employed)and about 24 percent were unemployed but actively seeking work.Retired adults made up about 12 percent of the sample,homemakers made up close to 14 percent of the sample,and in- active unemployed accounted for 2 percent of the respondents • Page 15 -Category Employed or Self-Employed Retired Unemployed (Active) Unemployed (Inactive) Homemaker Table 2 Employment Status Frequency Number 28 6 9 1 7 51 Distribution Percent 54.9% 11.8% 17.6% 2.0% 13.7% 100.0% - Source:(Q30),Frank Orth &Associates,Inc.,1984. 3.2.2.2 Hours Worked Per Week.Over 61 percent (27)of the respondents who were currently or recently employed were considered to be employed full-time.Full-time employment is defined as working at least 35 hours per week.About 18 percent worked less than 20 hours per week.Adults working between 20 and 34 hours accounted for over 20 percent of the ..... sample.Results appear in Table 3.

Respondents were asked to identify the name of the establishment that they presently or most recently worked for.The es tablishments were - - ..... subsequently classified into industry categories that are used by the Alaska Department of Labor.The largest industrial sector was the gov- ernment,accounting for about 26 percent of the labor force.The second largest industry sector was retail trade,accounting for over 23 percent of the labor force.One reason for this is the effect of tourism during the summer. Page 17 - -- Other large industry sec tors were services and construction t each ac- counting for about 19 percent of the labor force.One reason for large number of jobs in the construction sector is related to the Intertie project.Agriculture t Forestry t and Commercial Fisheries accounted for about 7 percent of the total employment in the sample. 3.2.2.4 Location of Employment.According to Table 5 t about 69 percent of the 45 currently employed residents and recently employed residents in the sample said that their job was located within 10 miles of their resi- dence.Close to 2 percent had jobs on the North Slope.Almost 29 per- cent had jobs that were located outside of the Mat-Su Borough t Anchorage t Fairbanks t the North Slope,or the local area.

Page 19 3.2.2.8 Transportation And Travel.Information about travel behavior and preferences for commuting were obtained from respondents.Using the approximate mid-points of each classification in the frequency distri- bution tables,it was possible to develop an estimate of the amount of time respondents were spending traveling to work and the amount of time they were willing to spend traveling to work.The majority of respond- ents have been spending about 30 minutes per day traveling in their cur- rent or most recent job,according to Table 7.

An average of 3.1 round trips to work were made each week by residents of Cantwell,according to Table 8.Eleven respondents used more than one mode of transportation to get to work.The preferred mode of transpor- tation was use of a personal motor vehicle.About 66 percent of the 35 respondents use such transportation to get to work,40 percent travel on foot or use a bicycle to get to their place of employment,over.11 per- cent use some form of non-personal motor vehicle (usually employer- owned),and over 14 percent go to work by plane some the of time.The latter responses were divided between 1 airline pilot,2 airport operators,and one guide.

On average,respondents were willing to travel up to 1 hour and 4-6 min- utes a day to get to and from work.In jobs that require only one round trip per .:week,respondents would be willing to travel about 3 hours and 23 minutes each way to their job. 3.2.3 Housing Characteristics Housing characteristics of interest in the survey include home ownership patterns,dwelling unit types,vacancy rates,and information on housing stock characteristics.A total of 28 responses were possible for house- hold characteristics. 3.2.3.1 Type of Structure.Housing unit types were tabulated for house- holds with which interviews were conducted.Results appear in Table 9. Of the 28 responses to this question,over 64 percent (18)of the house- holds were living in single-family dwelling units,between 32 and 33 percent resided in mobile homes on single-family lots,and about 4 per- cent lived in multi-family dwelling units • .Page 21 Category Table 9 Housing Type Frequency Number Distribution Percent .....

Households were also asked about the type of fuel they use to heat their dwelling.Of the 28 responses received,over 46 percent (13)said they relied primarily on oil,about 29 percent (8)said they relied primarily on wood,over 7 percent (2)said they relied on kerosene or coal,and about 18 percent .(5)relied on other fuel sources.Other fuel sources included some form of electric heat. 3.2.4 Resident Attitudes About Public Facilities and Services Inhabitants of Cantwell were asked to rank their level of satisfaction (which included five options)with available facilities and services. Respondents could also answer with no opin~on.In addition,no response was considered as not applicable since many services were not immediately available to respondents.Twenty-eight responses were obtained for most of these questions,except for mental health services which received three and outdoor recreation facilities which received 26.Results ap- pear in Table 11. Most of the 13 services included in the survey instrument were locally available to residents of Cantwell.One exception was mental health Page 23 services.This service was obtained from outside the area.In addition, medical care and services besides ambulance and social services were only locally available in limited quantities. ,.... i Ambulance received the highest percentage of positive responses (82 per- cent),followed by state trooper protection (79 percent),and libraries (68 percent).Over 57 percent of the respondents were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the solid waste or garbage disposal facility,and cited poor disposal procedures,unsanitary conditions,minimal main- tenance,and wind blown debris as reasons.The road system also received a high number of unfavorable responses (29 percent)because of problems related to infrequent maintenance and the quality of the 'maintenance when it is performed.Outdoor recreation facilities also received a high percentage of dissatisfied responses (15 percent),mainly due to the limited number of such facilities near Cantwell.

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 Cantwell.Two residents in the sample of 51 adults answered that they usually work outside of Cantwell 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 Cantwell four days a week or more.About'4 percent of all adult inhabitants would not be classified as residents based on this criterion. 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 76 percent of the population living in the community in October 1983 were there year-round according to Table 13. The monthly difference in the number of adult inhabitants who live in Cantwell throughout the year was identified in the sample results.The number of adults living in Cantwell in October 1982 to January 1983 was equal to about 85 percent of the number living in the community in Sep- tember of 1983.Because seasonality of residence was directly related to the seasonality of employment,it is likely that seasonal residents are also those with summer jobs.The loss in jobs after the summer 1982 tourist season,followed by an expansion of jobs in the tourist-related industrial sectors and on the Intertie construction project were probably responsible for some of the variation in seasonal residence patterns • Page 26 ,~ Catego-ry October November December January February March April May June July August September Table 13 Seasonality of Adult Residents N =51 Number 39 39 39 39 40 40 40 42 42 41 42 46 Percent 76.5% 76.5% 76.5% 76.5% 78.4% 78.4% 78.4% 82.4% 82.4% 80.4% 82.4% 90.2% - Monthly Averages Within Quarter First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter 39.0 39.7 41.3 43.0 - Source:(Q5),Frank Orth &Associates,Inc.,1984. The trend in seasonal residence noted above does reflect an influx of population related to the Intertie construction project,rather than usual seasonal fluctuations.The Intertie project began hiring employees in Cantwell in the Spring of 1983.In the autumn,employment had begun to increase.The effect of the Intertie on the length of residency can be seen in Table 14;these figures show that about 22 percent of the adult inhabitants interviewed in Cantwell have lived in the community for less than 2 years,with almost 18 percent having moved into the community in the six months prior to the survey.Of the 9 residents who arrived within the last six months,44 percent (4)were new residents who were working on the Intertie.These four residents contributed to the varia- tions shown in seasonal residence patterns over the last 12 months.

There were a total of 1,093 person-days spent by the 45 people in the sample who fish,and 1 percent of the days (11)were spent in Area 1 (see Map 1 in Appendix B). Data on the species sought by people who fish in Area 1 were gathered from responses to questions about person-days spent fishing in Area 1 and what species were sought.In the sample,the house.holds that fish were Page 30 ,- most likely to fish for rainbow trout,(13 percent),salmon (4 percent) especially silver and king,and grayling,burbot,or dolly varden (4 percent each),as shown in Table 18.Percentages represent the number of households that fished in Area 1 for a species in the past twelve months, out of the total number of households in the sample who responded that they fish in Area 1.

Answers to the question about the percentage of protein supplied from fishing activities give an idea of the extent to which local residents rely on fishing for food.Of the three households responding to the ,PJ'. question,about 33 percent said that none of their protein needs were met by fishing and about 67 percent of the households said that up to one quarter of their protein needs during the last year were met by fishing activities.Because of the small number of responses to this question, caution should be exercised in using responses to this question.Results appear in Table 20.

A final question about the importance of fishing in Area 1 for recreation was asked of the twenty households.Of the 14 households responding,43 percent (6)stated that Area 1 was important or very important to their recreational fishing activities.About 43 percent of.the households answered .that Area 1 was not so important for recreation and over 14 percent (2)responded that Area 1 was unimportant. Page 32 - ,- - 3.2.6.2 Hunting Activity.Approximately 75 percent of the households contain people that hunt.The average number of people per household who hunt was estimated at 1.32 persons per household.Based on an estimated number of 81 occupied households,there were an estimated 107 people in Cantwell who hunt.A 95 percent confidence interval about the sample mean of 1.32 implies that the true mean would lie between 0.9 and 1.7. There were a total of 817 person-days spent by the 37 people in the sam- ple who hunt;77 percent of the days (629)were spent in Area 1 and 8 percent (65)of the days were spent in Area 2 (se~Map 2 in Appendix B). In all,85 percent of all person-days were spent in either Area 1 or 2. 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 acces~road is built from the Denali Highway to the project site. The distribution of species sought by people in Cantwell who hunt in Area 1 was gathered from responses to questions about person-days spent hunt- ing in Area 1 and Area 2 and what species were sought.In addition,the total harvest by species was also asked of households.Harvest informa- tion has been summarized in Table 21 for Area 1 and Area 2.

Answers to the question about the percentage of protein supplied from hunting activities revealed a substantial reliance upon hunting in the last year to support protein needs.According to Table 23,about 32 percent (6)of the 19 responding households said that less than one- quarter of their protein needs during the last year were met by hunting activities,about 16 percent (3)said that between one-quarter and one- half of their protein needs were met by hunting activities in the last year,about 11 percent (2)received one-half of their protein needs from hunting activities,and about 16 percent (3)received more than one-half of their protein needs from these activities.However,more than 26 percent (5)said that none of their protein needs were met by hunting during the last year.This means that several households which hunted primarily for food,according to Table 22,were unsuccessful in obtaining meat from hunting activities last year.

A final question about the importance of hunting in Areas 1 and 2 for rec- reation was answered by the 13 households that indicated they hunt for sport.About 85 percent (11)of these respondents (representing 39.2 per- cent of the overall sample of 28 households)stated that Areas 1 and 2 were very important or important to their recreational hunting activities.The other 15 percent (2)of the respondents indicated that Areas 1 and 2 were not so important to their recreational hunting activities. 3.2.6.3 Trapping Activities.Slightly more than 21 percent of the house- holds in the sample contained people who trap.The average number of people per household who trap was estimated at 0.32 persons per household. Based on an estimated number of 81 occupied households,there may be about 26 people who live in Cantwell who trap.A ninety-five percent confidence about the sample mean for people per household who trap implies that the true mean would lie between 0.07 people and 0.57 people per household in 95 out of 100 samples of size 28 drawn from the population • There were a total of 311 person-days spent trapping by the 9 people in the sample who trap.Sixty-five percent (202)of the person-days were spent in Area 1 and 29 percent (90)of those days were spent in Area 2 (see Map 2 in Appendix B).In all,94 percent of all the person-days spent trapping occurred in either Area 1 or Area 2. Page 35 -- - The species sought by people in Cantwell who trap in Area 1 was gathered 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 sum- marized in Table 24.

A final question about the importance of trapping in Areas 1 and 2 for recreation was asked of the 28 households.Of the 2 hou~eholds responding, both stated that Areas 1 and 2 were very important or important to their recreational trapping activities. 3.2.7 Community Change Households were asked if they had noticed any changes in their community since 1980.Over 96 percent (27)of the 28 respondent households answered in the affirmative and about 4 percent noticed no changes at all.Thirty different changes were cited by the survey respondents.The most notice- able change in Cantwell was the large increase in population.Thirteen of the 28 respondents mentioned this change.Related changes that were com- monly menti,oned include:1)increase in employment opportunities from the Intertie,although several mentioned that few local hires were made;2) increase in the number of new businesses;3)changes in community facili- ties such as the new fire hall,new ambulance,expansion of the'school,and the community center;and 4)increase in the number of new homes,primarily Page 37 -----------~---- U.S.Housing and Urban Development sponsored homes.In terms of the life- style effects on residents from the population increase,several additional changes were noticed.First,several respondents said that there was less interaction between people than before.Second,there was more fighting and drugs in town than before.Third,there was more traffic in town. - ..-, - ,..., i i Finally,road maintenance appeared to be getting worse according to several respondents. 0335h Page 38 - APPKRDIX A 02/07/84 HOUSEHOLD SURVEY/CANTWELL MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATIONS MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION MEAN STAND DEV .... ...., ....
