The first part is a Base Budget which presents the minimum requirements to support the licensing activity,the issue settlement process,and the pennitting activity necessary to obtain long lead~time permits.The second part provides a Supplemental Budget allowance which would be necesssary should the discovery process or the hearing process be extended beyond the current schedule.Additionally,the Supplemental Budget would provide for environmental mitigation demonstration projects. The major effort which would be funded by the Base Budget is continuation of the envoronmental programs to provide analyses of data collected to date, preparation of testimony for environmental hearings and preparation of issue papers required in the settlement process.In addition,there will be some continuing data collection in the Aquatic Program,the Terrestrial Program, and the Social Science Program for use 1n both the settlement and hearings processes.The Need for Power studies will support the Power Authority's power sales agreement negotiations with the utilities and also the economic aspects of the hearings.The licensing support and permitting budget estimate will be utilized primarily in (1)the settlement of issues with state and local agencies,(2)to coordinate the licensing interfaces with FERC,and (3)to continue the permitting processes.Funding of the project management and project support office in Anchorage is included in the Base Budget. The Supplemental Budget would be utilized only when and if authorized by the Power Authority.Included in the Supplemental Budget are allowances for 210151 1 841009 '~~_'~I "·~_f '~'~""""_ extension of the discovery process beyond that which is currently scheduled and for an extension of the time required to offer testimony in the Environmental and Need for Power hearings.The time currently scheduled for testimony as shown in the FERC Susitna Project Status Report is judged to be on the low side for a project of the magnitude and complexity of Sustina. Therefore,there is a high probability that the Supplemental Budget for this effort will be required in FY86. The Supplemental Budget also includes an Environmental Program which would be used to demonstrate the feasibility of potential mitigation which would be implemented to replace salmon spawning habitat that would be lost when the dam is in operation.The transmission system cost and alignment may be subject to reanalysis as a result of FERC hearings and contacts with the utilities;the Supplemental Budget includes an allowance for such work. 210151 2 841009 --_._--------------~ ....

Compositing follows compilation of site-specific habitat reLationships and proceeds to completion of flow relationships hydrographs (FRH)which incorporate relevant informat ion on 16 instream flow habitat relationships and speC1es di stribut ion', abundance and timing.Composi ting 1S a highly analytic step req ui ring familiarity with detailed Susitna field and refined data,assessment design and quantification techniques.A general compositing process has been established,however,the detailed -rationale and analytic techniques must be developed as part of this task. 04-016-05 Economic and Environmental Comparisons Process Several alternative weekly flow regimes will be defined and compared.The flow regime will range from the optimum environmental (aquatic habitat)to the optimum econom1C reg1mes and will include natural flows and flows presented in the License Application.Other alternative regimes will be selected based on the needs of navigation,recreation,riparian habitats and water quality. A project optimization procedure will be used to evaluate alternative flow regimes.This is a computer based,iterative process that will be used to narrow alternatives to a small set of regimes that best provide for the needs of both energy and power generation and the various downstream uses of the r1ver.Emphasis during the Project optimization process will be placed on compar1sons of Project economics and fish habitat.At several steps 1n the procedure the effects of the flow regimes on physical parameters such as water temperature,water quality and ice processes as well as impac:ts of these physical changes on other instream relationships and uses will be evaluated.These in-process evaluations are necessary to establish boundaries for the next iterations. Minimum and m.aximum environmental flows will be established and input to the weekly reservoir operations model to produce a time series of expected flows and energies (based on a 33 year record of historic flows)for four energy demand levels.This will be required to exam1ne the influence of increasing energy demand levels that will occur during the life of the 12302/4 840907 17 - .- - project.Composited habitat relationships will be used to forecast relative fish habitat for the 33 years of record..The resulting time series will be presented as habitat duration curves. The resu1 tant flow regimes will be analyzed to detennine effects (both positive and negative)on each instream flow use.Mitigation opportunities and associated costs will be examined for those instream flow uses that are adversely affected.The affect of each flow regime 011;project benefits and costs will be detennined for comparison with the corresponding environmental effects. 04-016-06 Recommended Flow Regime Report Provide support and consultation to the Power Authority to develop and document a recommended flow regime from the reg~mes presented ~n the Economic and Environmental Comparisons Report. Summary of thl~impacts associated with this regime will also be presented. The report developed under this task will be used as the pr~mary document for the flow negotiation process.It will be presented in draft fonn to the var~ous utilities and resource agencies.Depending on the outcome of this rev~ew,the report will either be:1)finalized,if no significant comments are received,or 2)a second draft will be prepared (based on comments received)in anticipation of actual instream flow negotiations. A working report that will be developed ~n draft fonn.The final fonn will depend on results of the review process. 04-016-07 Aquatic Resources Impact Assessment The Susitna aquatic investigations program includes the following steps: field data collection and analysis,deve10pmerit of habitat relationships, 12302/4 840907 18 - development of composite flow relationships hydrographs and flow optimization.After the tradeoffs between habitat/fish populations and power generation have been examined 1n the comparisons process,a recommended operating reg1me will be developed and negotiated.It 1S expected that this regime will have some flow-related effects on fishery resources which must be quantified and described in order to plan specific measures to mitigate these effects.This task will quantify the impacts of the negotiatE!d operating reg1me.Impact analyses of alternative flow regimes will be presented 1n the Economic and Environmental Comparisons Report and the Recommended Flow Regimes Report.This impact assessment will be more detailed and comprehensive.

The schedule for accomplishing this ~ask will be coupled with the schedule set by FERC for the environmental hearing process. 04-016-10 Mitigation and Enhancement Planning ....A mitigation report is being developed that will identify mitigation opportunities associated with anticipated Project conditions.The report will further develop the mitigation plan identified in the FERC license - 12302/4 840907 20 ~r - application and explore ad'ditional mitigation alternatives compatible with Project mitigation policy. A draft report will be produced by the end of the first quarter of FY86. The report will identify potential areas and methods for habitat modification based on existing information through FY 1984 and FY85 field efforts. It is anticipated that Project condi tions may improve habi tat downstream from Devil Canyon.If habitat improves,there may be an opportunity to enhance salmon runs into the Devil Canyon to Talkeetna reach.The anticipated habi tat condi tions under Project operation,based on existing information,,will be evaluated for their potential to support enhancement. Specific locations and methods will be identified where possible.An enhancement evaluation will be included as a section of the mitigation report. 04-016-13 Adult Salmon Spawning Surveys Routine escapement surveys of streams,sloughs,side channels and the ma~n channel Susitna River will be performed in 1984 to meet the study objective. The surveys will be performed on the ground except for selected tributaries and the main channel which will be surveyed by helicopter.Surveys will be performed by the following schedul e: Sloughs Tributaries Mainstem and Side Channel Weekly,August 15 -October 7,1985 Weekly,July 21 -October 7,1985 Weekly,September 1 -October 7,1985 -- Slough,side channel,tributary and mainstem habitats associated with the lower Susitna River will be surveyed weekly from the air,from August 15 to October 7.Areas where adult fish are observed will be ground truthed to determine if the area is an actual spawning location and the extent of its use. 12302/4 840907 21 ADF&G SuHydro will conduct the study.HE will rev~ew the report and provide comments and recommendation at var~ous stages of the study. 04-016-14 Resident and Juvenile Anadromous Fish Studies To assess the effects of these changes ~n flow reg~me on the habi tat of resident and juvenile anadromous fish it ~s necessary to determine distribution of the species over different seasons and to develop the predictive capability to estimate changes in available rear~ng habitat asa function of mainstem discharge to assess the effects of changes in flow regime on the habitats of resident and juvenile anadromous fish.This study will address only the open water season because ice compounds a quantitative assessment of the rearing habitat. Studies conducted by ADF&G SuHydro (1981-1984)have provided insight into distribution of the species and responses of habitat in the backwater zones near slough and tributary mouths to mainstem stage changes.The distribution information has provided some insight into the year round distribution of coho and chinook salmon but has provided limited information on pink,chum,and sockeye salmon juveniles. This information and the continuation of these studies will provide the long term baseline data needed to monitor effects of the operation of the Susitna Hydro Project. Distributional data over the seasons will be used to estimate the relative seasonal importance of rearing habi tat for the di fferent spec~es. information will be supplemented by the outmigrant trap studies. This ADF&G SuHydro will conduct the study.HE will rev~ew the report and provide comments and recommendation at var~ous stages of the study. 12302/4 840907 22 ..... 04-016-15 Main Channel Salmon Escapement Monitoring Escapements in the lower reach have been monitored from 1981 through 1983 into the Yentna River at RM 28 and in the Susitna River main channel at RM 80.The results document annual escapement numbers,timing distribution and migrational behavior of sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon at these locations.Similar information on the chinook salmon escapements to RM 80 are available for 1982 and 1983. This task will quantify the numbers of sockeye,pink,chum and coho salmon that reach RM 20,enter the Yentna River (RM 28),reach RM 80 and reach RM 120 of the Susitna River.This task will also determine their migrational timing and behavior.The same basic data will be collected for chinook salmon escapement in the Susitna River main channel at RM 80. This information will be obtained by implementing a tagging operation at RM 20,using sonar counters and fishwhee1s in the Yentna River and operating tagging sites at RM 80 and RM 120. ADF&G SuHydro will conduct the study.HE will reV1ew the report and provide comments and recommendation at var10US stages of the study. 04-016-16 Outmigration Studies Studies by ADF&G SuHydro of outmigrants from the middle r1ver were begun in 1982 and wer,e expanded 1n 1983.This data set has provided valuable information as to the success of the preV10US summers'spawning runs,the effects of discharge on redistribution of rearing juveniles and has provided population and survival estimates (when coupled with adult escapement data). Extrapolation of this data set over a longer period of time and at several key sites will provide a comparative index of the production of individual sloughs. A mark and r1ecapture study of outmigrant juveniles will be conducted to repeat a 1983 study.The juveniles are marked with coded wire tags (OWT)at 12302/4 840907 23 selected sites and recaptured at a downstream smolt trap at Talkeetna ....Station • juveniles. Emphasis will be placed·on increased tagging of chum salmon Other data collected during operation of the outmigrant traps will include catch per unit effort and data on daily river stage,turbidity,temperature and other habitat parameters. The relative prod·uction of sockeye and chum salmon in four side sloughs will be estimated by weir counts and recovery of marked fish.Sites near the mouths of sloughs 8A,9,11 &21 will be weired with small mesh seines for three consecutive days.Fish collected on each day will be marked with a unique dye mark and released.Recaptures on all days will be recorded.
