As part of these studies, Acres American recently contrated LGL Alaska Research Associates, Inc. to coordinate the terrestrial environmental studies being pe.rformed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and several University of Alaska research groups~ LGL•s role in the project includ~s working with several State and Fed~ral agencies on impact assessro~nt and ~·~elo~ment of a mitigation-plan~· to be· included as ·part of a license application to theft·-·· Federal Energy Regulatory Com~ission (scheduled for the first quarter of 1983). Through our University of Alaska subcontractors, LGL is also conducting field studies on vegetation, f~rbearers, birds, and small mammals .. A primary objective of the Alaska Power Authority is to mitigate to the limit of practicability the nagative impacts of the Susitna .Project on fish a~d wildlife resources.· A number of field studies have been conducted to help predict the effects of the project on these resources, and some preliminary impact assessments and mitigation planrring have been conducted. A methodology is now needed that will (1) incor~orate the jnterrelationships of the various disciplines into a refined impact assessment (e.g., ·use data from the hydrology studies to quantify changes in vegetation and in turn various wildlife species); (2) focus· the ongoing and future studies so that the data are collected in the proper un1ts, sampling scheme, and time frame; and (3) allow quantitative . . . ·. ,,, ~ .. ., comparisons among various compensation lands or habitat enhancement techniques being considered as mitigation·alternatives. Our recommended approach to the project is detailed in the following pages. An organization a 1 chart for the pt'ogram is depicted on Figure 1. The program • < manager is Dr. Robert Sener, Senior Vice President of LGL, who ~ill be 100% dedicated to the project begining July 1, 1982 and who will work out of the Acres' Ancharage facility • ' 1 .. • j j<';; . ..

MAJOR TASKS The following major tasks \'lill be completed by LGL in completing the wildlife and habitat impact assessment and mitigation planning on this project: 1. Supervise and manage all non ADF&G wildlife, vegetation and habitat studies associated with the project and coordinate and monitor ADF&G studies 2. Manage and supervise wildlife assessment orocess 3. Deyelop wildl1fe mitigation plan 4. Establish and maintair. communications and report with regulatory agencies and principal investigators 5. Supervise and consult with University of Alaska regarding their research program and progress. 6e ·Prepare wildlife and vegetation components of Exhibit E for FERC license application. l r L ' ~~ ~;~ \," .. l ~ .. r .. ~· .. TECHNICAL APPROACH Our recommended approach involves a series of workshops using simula!.ion modelling as a tool to improve the preliminary impact assessment~ identify the most important variabl ~s to measure during future monitoring studies, and to provide a quantitative comparison among specific mitigation options. The .1orkshops will provide the input m~eded for a FERC license application in early 1983, and will also provide a frpmework for inter-agency coordination and future planning during the construction and operation phases of the project. As a result of environmental studies of the area conducted since 1979, a considerable amount of data has been collected describing the . vegetation and wildlife of ·the Susitna Basin. Prior to any impact assessments and mitigation planning, a synthesis of-the data collected during the Phase I studies of big game and vegetation needs to be prepared. Vegetation maps of the Susitna Basin have been produced; these can best be integrated with the computerized big game sightings data and UDS.G.S. topogr~phic data tapes by digitizing sample areas representative of larger areas within J:he basin. Statistical comparisons of animal use versus availability of habitat types and other .variables can then be made within and among thesra sample areas to ,. determine if the animals were associated with certc::in vegetation types, · .. : elevation con.tours, distat,ces from streams and lakes, etc. more oriess often that would be expected on the basis of availability. This will be required in order to provide a quantitative impact assessment for the . Susitna Project, and will.be fully documented in the FERC application.~ .. Digitizing and preliminary data analysis will be conducted by'Northern Technical Services (Nortec) of Anchorage as a subcontl'·act to LGL .. Nortec maintains· an inhotJse computer with state-of-the-art software ·systems compatible with the computer .systems used by ADF&G and USFWS. This automated approach will be flexible in. order to allow additional .· . . m ' ' ' - m. -~~. r . . II. i • analyses by agency personnel and can be expanded if required ~ater in the project. This intensive period of automated data integration and analysis is scheduled ;~or completion on 14 August 1982 so that the results will be available for the first assessment and mitigation planning workshop in late August. The FERC application requires a detailed plan to mitigate the adverse effects of the project on fish and wi 1 dl i fe resources. We recommend the development of two separate mitigation plans: the first . . plan, which we will call the construction mitigation plan, will outline mitigation measures to be iillplemented during the design and construction phases of the project. This p1an will include mitigation measures such as controlling dust along the roads, leaving clumps of trees for eagle nesting along the reservoir margins, fencing con~truction camps, and minimizing aircraft disturbance to wildlife. These measures are easily defined and understood, and are more easily agreed to by the agencies than are issues involving replacement lands and habitat enhancement measures. Most AJf the environmental protection measures to be incorporated in the construction mitigation plan were in~luded 1n the draft mitigation options paper, and thus have already been reviewed and wodified by agency representatives. If the co:Jstruction mitigation plan is approved by the time of the. ·license application or shortly after, . -construction of the Watana Dam could then proceed while more difficult · mitigation measures (such as the purchase of replacement 1 ands by APA) are being negotiated. The final ~omprehensive mitigation plan will not be complete at the time of the license application, but this is normall.Y the case and will . . not result in delay of the project. The final p'ian will re~olve the ~ complex iss~es that. cannot be decided prior to construction (for example, the desirability of onsite habitat enhance:ment measures as opposed to the outright purchase of habitat equivalent in value to that . which will be lost) • , ' ~I. I I j It' ,, .. We recommend the simulation modelling approach for the following reasons: · ... ·l. · .. I-t provides a means to incorporate the professional judgements of scientists, regulators 51 and resource managers. Beci.n~se mitigation planning will include many subjective evaluations, the decision-makers must be clos~ly involvBd throughout the process. 2. It utilizes existing·data; but focuses f-uture research in areas that are decided by the workshQp participants to be the most important. The approach will insure that the data are call ected in the proper units, sampling scheme, and time-frame, and will integrate data from the different disciplines (e.g., hydrology, furbeare.rs, vegetation). 3. It allows great flexibili.ty. The selected indicators {agreed upon on the first day of the workshop) can include population attributes {e.g., changes in the number of beavers with and without the project, or with different mitigation options); habitat units or important descriptive variables (e.g., amount of browse ava :nab 1 e in 1 ate winter), or any number of alternative indicators as selected by the workshop participants. Data on habitat, predation, weather, and other bi ophysi ca 1 system components can be incorporated into the models. The model ~ill encapsulate the best available understanding of the biophysical system, and will provide a 'Jaboratory world 1 for testing mitigation options. Following a review and synthesis of existing information,. the iJnl'l8ct asso.ssment and m·itigation planning will proceed systematically through a -s.eni~s of steps (Figure 2). These steps are (1) identifi~t.iQ[t of habitat and population ind·.·cators {e.g., number of beavers, hectare·s of some important habitat type, density of willow . stems); (2) ·quantification of impacts in tenns of indicators (what will be the changes in the indicators aver the life of the project); and (3) comparison and evaluation of mitigation options . . .

The last step requires that some valuation of the indicators and the tradeoffs between indicators be made; this will be done in coordination with the fish and wildlife policy of the Alaska Power Authority. The valuations can be accomplished using any number of approaches, ·including HEP analysis for the anticipated indicator of habitat units, if so desired. The steps in the development of a simulation model are outlined in Figure 3, and further explained in Table 1. The initial model will be constructed curing an intensive one-week workshop (to be held in ·Anc-horage) sc-hedul sd ·fo-r ·the last week in August. The approach we . reconmend can be divided into six steps: {1) review and synthesis of exis~ting infonnation, (2) preparation and seeping for the workshop, (3) workshop, (4) model refinement, (5) reporting, and (6) ~valuation of mo~el results. The facilitator/modeller~ who will conduct the workshop require time to familiarize themselves with the problem and to plan the workshop. A seeping meeting usually lasting about two days is needed to develop a preliminary conceptual model of the biophysical system and to carefu1ly select the participants for the workshop. The workshop itself is designed to occur over a five day period; the five days are intensively focused and require long days-from allo After the workshop two major tasks will be undertaken: the : r~finement of the model, and the reporting of the workshop and the . model. Reporting involves a complete description of what is'considered and what nCJt considered and why. The functional relat·ionships developed, the assumptions made, and the data used will all be . documented .. · The model developed during the short t)eriod of a five day:·:. workshop wi]l require revision to incorporate better da'ta and new . understanding. This will require a series of technical meetings with key parti c i pan.ts and some reprogramming to i ntegratc these ideas and data.. Once the model has been refin~d it will be used to compar·~ different scenarios, such as with and without th; oject, and with and · . -. 1,· i I I~ i ' ... '.... .. .

SCHE"DULE . A prel iminar.; schedu1 e for the prnj2ct through June 1983 ir:, shown as Figure 4. A review of existing infonmation is aiready underway, and field studies are being conducted by LGL's subcontractors. Th~ current field studies will end ~;n late summer, with reports due to LGL by late December. Plannino for future field studies will begin irrmediately after the first intensive workshop scheduled for the last week of August. Technical meetings to improve the model an4 to display the results to agency representatives and researchers, wi 11 begin in · September and continue indt.~finitely. However, by the time the \1 icense ·.

AEIDC's role will be one of facilitation and accurate quantitative impact assessment in the fishery/aquatic r'1sources area. The effects of hydroelectric development in the upper Susitna Basin with its construction of large impoundments, access roads and transmission lines, will include altered downstream riverine conditions, inundation of habitat, and other disturbances in the aquatic system. The effects of these alterations must be considered in terms of the interrelationships among hydrology, geomorphology, water quality, and biology. ·_changes in streamflows or inundation of habitat can affect fish migration, repr·oduction, production, and quantity and quality of habitat. Ultimately federal and state ag!'::ncies will condition licenses or permits with provisions for construction and operation of the Susitna project. In order that this permitting and licensing process proceed ~n a timely manner, it is critical that a comprehensive, accurate, and quantitative assessment be undertaken in a smooth and coordinated manner. Approach/Discussion: Close communications are essential to the success of the interfa e between data collection activities and mitigation planning. i1 -assemble a staff with the appropriate expertise, management structure,, and technical analytical. capabilities for accomplishing this work Included will b expertise in fishery biology, instream flow assessment on biology. .· . . -·. ·-.:'\. ... • -':··-:.-,: ... -.,f; AEIDC also will provide expertise in ·graphics, .· ··· car ograp 1n ormation systems management, and technical editing to compile and prepare suitable products for presentation to appropriate agencies or groups and for mitigation planning efforts.: ... • ! · Assigned to the project will be a principal investigator, assisted by .senior staff in fisheries biology, instream flow assessment, computer systems management, and other support personnel. · This group will . continuously interact with a 11 study team members·.· gathering _and " ~~ .. ~ .. : . ~. .. .. : .. •.; •, .... •• •to ... .. . • . ~ . -. .... ; ' .... · "' .. . -... .. . . ·. ·~. .. . . .. ...... .• ~~ : !l ,~ ; ,, ~ ~ ~ 't ;; ~ .i If I' . ··" ,:,. ~ ' ~ E ~~ -._,.. .... .;.• f ~ -·li f l t & " . ,t .. . ·. analyzing data relating to understanding the aquatic system, and "·ill prepare a dynamic model of the functioning of the Susitna aquatic basin. Ultimately this model will depend upon available infonnation, but is expected to include several components, including reservoir thermal and suspended sediment characteristics, and quantification of fish habitat relationships with streamflow and water quality change. Various other information reports will be integrated including information on sedinent transport~ perching and scour assessments, groundwater dynamics, and other related information. It is envisioned that these modular components and in J;mation -sources will be integrated into a comprehensive mode or ther system of information which can be used by AElDC to prepare impact assessment reports. Included will be assessments of the effect of staged project development (l~atana fi · 'St . with Devil.'s Canyon st;cond), flow peaking, access roads and transmission corridors, inundation of habitat, reservoir filling periods,. and oth~r related effects on the aquatic system and resources of the Susitna Rivt~r drainage. AEIDC also will facilitate the transfer of aquatic information t,, the wildlife study participants. Infonnation on downstream riverine changes are prerequisite to the detennination of impacts on riparian habitats and related terrestrial and aquatic wildlife species • AEIDC plans to establish an advisory relationship with the U.S .. Fish and Wildlife Service•s Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group (IFG) in Fort Collins, Colorado. Assistance from the IFG would be requested specifically in areas of new methodological modeling techniqu~~ such as in quantification of thermal or sediment transport and channel char:ge relationships with fish habitat. . ... ..

' J Subtask 7.10 -Fisheries Mitigation Planning Objectives The primary objective of the fisheries mitigation p1anni~g effort is to develop a mitigation plan consisting of quantified mitigation options for each .. phase of the project.. T1e ultimate goal is to provide the mitigation document required by the Ft:RC for license approval .. A secondary objective is to identify information deficiencies and prioritize studies needed to fulfill the quantification requirements of the mitigation plan. Tasks Task 1. Agency and Project Coordination. The mitigation planning will require an unusual amount of coordination and communication among the various Fisheries Study Group components, regulatory agencies and other environmental studies componerr!:s. Thi; project coordination will be the responsibility of the Woodward-Clyde Consultants (WCC) Project Manager. Task 2. Inforamtion and Data Review. There is a considerable volume of existing fisheries ·and hydraulic information and data relatir.g to the Susitna Hydroelectric Project. Since this information will form the basis of the mitigation plan, project staff must be thoroughly familiar with this information prior to initiating the mitigation planning efforto Only those project personnel directly involved in a decision-making role need to be familiar with all phases of the proposed project. Task 3. Mitigation Plan Outline. A mitigation plan outline must be developed early in the project to structure the mitigation effort, allow an evaluation of the adequacy of existing information, identify information deficiencies and prioritize ~tudy needs~ The outline wili be as detailed as possible and will address all phases of the proposed project. The draft outline will be developed by WCC \'lith input from the Fisheries Study Group. The draft outline will be circulated within the Fisheries Study Group for review and comment and the Su Hydro Steering Committee for informal reviewo The final outline will allow for a strlJctured study approach and orderly development of a mitigation plan. Task 4. Identification and Prioritization of Study Needs. This ta~ '• wi 11 be a cooperative , ~ffort with other members of the Fisheries Study Group, with input from·the Su Hydro Steering Committee. The identification and · prioritization of study needs will logically follow from the mitication out- line. The task should be initiated early in the study so that field efforts can be re-directed as necessary to provide information required in the mitigation plan. The task will be an on-going process throughout the project but is identified as a separate task to formalize and emphasize the impor- t~nce of this study component . . T~sk 5. Quantification of Mitigation Plan. This task consists of quantifying the various mitigation options identified in the mitigation plan outline and other appropriate options that may be identified. The quantification will consist of identifying expected gains or losses of fish and/or fish habitat from various construction alternatives and mitigation techniques during the var.ious phases of pr~ject development. Because of the -3- . . r 1 l \ ~ ! \ l!r J f ~ J f f f l l time lag between data collection and data availability, the FY 1983 mitigation plan will be solely based on data available prior to September 30, 1982. By limiting the FY 1983 plan to data available in this time frame, the plan will not be a complete mitigation document. Information being gathered during the 1982 and 1983 field seasons will be needed to prepare a finalized plan. Quantification.will be.achieved by utilizing available predictive models. and standard statistical analysis calibrated with existing Susitna Basin data. If the necessary data specific to the Susitna Basin are not available, information from other syste~~ will be utilized, where appropriate, until basin-specific information is available. The quantification effort will be performed by wee personnel (biologists and hydrologists) with input from other mitigation experts retained by Acres American, Inc. ·as part of the FisheriP.s Study Group. Task 6. Preparation of Mitigation Document. The mitigation document will present the various mitigation options in a format structured according to construction phase. The options will be presented in order of perceived desirability 1n a manner that allows easy comparison of the alternatives. The ·desirability ranking· will ·be based· on USFWS Mitigation Policy, which prioritizes mitigation goals. These defined goals, in order of priority, are (1) avoiding the impact, (2) minimizing impact, (3) rectifying impact, (4) reducing impact over time and (5) compensating for impact. Liberal use of appropriate figures and tables will facilitate comparison of alternatives. The narrative will thoroughly discuss alternatives, state assumptions and document sources of information. An important section of the document will be the discussion of information deficiencies and study needs'. This section will focus on studies needed to adequately quantify the mitigation document to fulfill FERe requirements. Although the quantitative aspects of the document will be based on pre-FY 1983 data, the FY 1983 studies will be considered in assessing future data needs. The document will be pre~ared as an interim mitigation plan. ~·he interim plan can be circulated for agency review with the intent of· obtaining conceptua 1 approva·l for the scope of the mitigating options and the recommended study plan. Task 7. Revie~ and Assessment of FY 1983 Data, Identification of Study Needs. Following preparation of the interim mitigation plan, a formal revie\<J and assessment of the data collected during the FY 1983 field season will begin. This assessment will focus on the applicability of the data to the mitigation plan and will be used to finalize recommendations for FY 1984 studies and update recommendations for continuing studies. Task 8. Q_uantifi£ation and Update of Mitigation Plan. After receiving and evaluating the FY" 1987; field data, sttJdy efforts will concentrate on quantifying and updating the mitigation plan based on the newly acquired data. This task will continue into F'l 1984 and lead to a sequential refining of the mitigation document. Approach/Discussion In order to expeditiously prepare a FERe license application it will be necessary to l) prepare an acceptable scope and format for the mitigation plan, 2) quantify the mitigation options as thoroughly as possible with available information, 3) prepare an interim mitigation plan, 4) obtain conceptual approval for the scope and data requirements from appropriate agencies and 5) finalize and select mitigation options as needed data become available. An important component of_this study approach is Gbtaining local agency acceptance of the concept that -4- (] G 0 -~: ..... ,.. I m. U.' ~ [ the initial mitigation document submitted with the FERC license application need not be complete. This acceptance can be facilitated by developing a detailed interim mitigation plan, as proposed here, identifying data requirements and study needs (with agency input) and committing to provide the needed studies prior to FERC license approval. With this commitment to supporting the required studies, and with agreement from local agencies that these studies will address the pr·oper concerns!; it should be possible to proceed with the FERC 1 icense- application. Conditional approval, subject to the submission of an acceptable mitigation document, has been obtained for other projects. De 1 i verab 1 es J ~ s r<t"'; First Quarter FY 1983. A detailed outline of the mitigation plan will be prepared in the first quarter to define and direct the mitigation planning effort. This outline will allo~ a review of the mitigation effort by other project com~onents and concerned agencies, which in turn will provide va1uable input for directing the mitigation planning. o#IJ /Cf~~ Jf!./V\ Lcti''f .

T'te numbers one through four are used cons is tent1y to refer to Work Packagns seven, eight, nine and ten. (a) OBJECTIVES The objectives of the four different proposed work packages are as fo 11 Oli\TS: 1. Jetermine the economic: value of important commercial, recreational, 1nd subsistence fish and wildlife resources. This data will indicate the uni·t economic va 1 ue of resources to various user gr·oups. 2. · · L1etermi ne· .. economi c effects of Sus i tna Hydroe 1 ectri c Project on commercial, recreational and subsistence fish and game user groups. 3. Determine the significance of the economic effects of the Project for each user group. 4. Update existing data and inforamtion based upon input from Acres Amer·:can, Inc;. and other team members. Reimplement socioeconomic impact model using updated data and information. (b) JUSTI FICATIOl~ Reasons for impleni~nting the four socioeconomic work packages are as follows: 1. When combined with recent fish and wildlife use patterns, the economic value and social significance of the resources to each user group may be approximated. Where combined with fish and wildlife reso~rce population data, the economics potential of impo~ta~resources will be estimated. 2. Economic value is a common denominator. These values will provide a better understanding of what could be gained or lost by user groups and will facilitate the development of mitigation measures. 3. Frequently, dollar values by themselves are not meaningful. Dollar values need to be put into contexts that are meaningful to both those persons being impacted and those who made decisions. 4. Refinement of design and project logistics will continue through Phase II. Reimplementation of the socioeconomic impact model will be necessary to process updated data and information. This will highlight key assumptions and parameters and allow decision makers to choose those assumptions and parameters which they feel are most valid. The incorporation of new data will allow the model to produce all of the results required by FERC and to produce more accurate results. f} ll ll. I, 'j !i n I I !I lj ' tl. :.!.-"• I . ' )' ' L. (c) APPROACH/DISCUSSION 1-Work Package 7: Baseline Economic Valuations for Important Commercial, Recreational and Subsistence Fish and Wildlife Resources. 2 ---- a. Fish and wildlife resources with significant existing or potential economic value to alternative user groups will be identified and investigated by species or species group as appropriate. Fish and wildlife use pattern information collected in Work Package 2 will determine, in large part, resources with significant existing economic values. Resources with significant potential economic values will be identified in coordination with other Susitna Project Team members. b. Existing fish and wildlife valuation studies will be identi- fied and reviewed. Criteria will be developed to judge the accepta- bility of the study methodologies. Valuations from those studies which pass the test will be adopted. These val~ations will serve as baseline conditions and wi1~ be extended into the future usi-ng.appropriate methods~ c. Methodologies will be adopted from existing studies or modified to obtain valuations for important fish and wildlife resources not covered in the studies.l These valuations will also be extended through time for comparability (to valuations of b, above) and completeness. d. Valuations from b and c, above, will be combined to obtained a a set of va 1 uati ons for importa.nt fish and wi 1 dl i fe resources, by user group. e. Unquantifiable dimensions of the valutions will be addressed (identified, considered, and discussed) and used in support of the quantitative measures in order to more ~n~pletely characterize resource values. Work Package 8: Economic Effect of Project on Commercial, Recreational, and Subsistence User Group~ . . .... Determine economic effects of project on commercial, recreational, · and subsistence user groups resulting from potential changes in harvestable stocks of fish and wildlife. (1) Description of user groups and fish and game utilization -User group charact2ristics -Quantity and value of harvests, by location and user group. Note: for fish, the focus is on salmotr that utilize the Susitna Rive~r and its tributaries and drainages, and Arctic grayling and Dolly Varden. For wildlife, the focus is on caribou, moose, bear and important furbearers that occur in Game Management Unit 13. Also, subsistence users may be treated as recreational users where the cost of harvest appears to exceed the cost of making fish, wildlife or an equivalent amount of food available to a user at his residence.

(d) Updated data and information from Acres American, Inc. and other team members will be obtained. For example, many of the construction work force and materials and equipment requirements associated with the transmission lines need to be updated. This will provide significantly more accurate results from the model. Other examples are the composition of the construction work force for th~ dams, models of access and travel allowances associated with each mode. Updated information in these areas will substantially enhance the accuracy of projected impacts.
