3.1 GENERAL METHODOLOGY
In order to accomplish the general and specific study objectives for the
Social Science Program in FY1984, a plan of study was outlined for each
s·ocial Science Program subtask. The following five-step planning process
was followed in developing an approach for each subtask&
First, because the FY 1984 environmental studies and licensing activities
·will. draw up.on 'tlie Final License Application and its suppo~ting documents,
previously completed studies that provide relevant background and/ or
baseline information were reviewed. (See Section 6.1 for a list of
principal project-related studies containing information relevant to the
FY 1984 Social Science Program.)
Second, applicable local, state, and federal agency regulations, policies,
and laws were examined.
Third, a preliminary list. of issues that must be addressed in the licensing
process was developed based on the first two steps and a review of
correspondence to the Power Authority regarding the Susitna Project,
testimony to the. Power Authority Board of Directors, agency comments on the
Draft License Application, workshop summaries, and discussions with
subcontractors. (A complete list of those issues is found in Section 6.2.)
_Fourth, data and other information gaps were identified that required
additional work in FY 1984 and FY 1985 to keep the licensing process on
schedule and meet FERC deadlines for providing supplemental information

4.0 SPECIFIC WOK AC1'IVIrf DESCRIPfiOIJS
4.1 CULTURAL RESOURCES: IDENTIFY ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORIC SITES WITHIN
THE PROJECT AREA
4.1.1 Background
The Susitna Hydroelectric Project's Cultural Resources Program, as presented
in Chapter 4, Exhibit E of the License Application, has been designed to
comply with cultural resource laws and regulations and to meet criterion for . . .
a FERC license application. The basic program activities include:
identifying archeological and historic sites within the project area,
systematic testing to assist in determining site significance and to
evaluate the impact of "the Project on cutural resources, and developing a
mitiga~ion plan to avoid or lessen the impact of the Project on those
resources. The purpose of the following discussion is to outline the plan
of study for continuing the identification of cultural resources in the
project area.
4.1.1.1 Rationale. At the end of the 1983 field season, a total of 243
archeological and historic sites bad been documented through the University
of Alaska Museum's field programs. The site-identification process had been
completed for ·the' Watana and Devil Canyon dams and impoundment areas
(including the zones of indirect impact) and for 12 borrow areas. During
the 1984 field season, the site-identification process will continue as
reconnaissance surveys are conducted for the access road, rai.lroad, and the
transmission lines from Fairbanks to Healy, Willow to Anchorage, and the
Watana Dam site to the Intertie.
4.1.1.2 Previous Studies. Prior to the beginning of the cultural resource
program begun by the University of Alaska Museum in 1980, three
reconnaissance level archeological surveys bad been conducted for the
40014/4 4-1
•
•
•
Susitna Hydroelectric .Project. The first, conducted by Dr •. William Irving
in 1953, documented one site in the project area (Irving, 1957}. The
second, conducted in 1970 by Dr. Fred West in the Stephan Lake area,
.resulted in . the location of one site. The third, conducted by Mr. Glenn
Bacon in 1978 in the area of the proposed Watana Dam and Watana . Base Camp~
restt1:ted in the identification of four sites (Bacon, 1978).
The most important studies completed on cultural resources in the Susitna
project area. are those which have been conducted by the University of Alaska
Museum. The results of the 1980 and 1981 summer field work are presented in
· "Final RepQr~ · Sub.task 7 .0~ Cultural Resources Investigation for the. Susitna
Hydroelectric Project: A Preliminary Cultural Resource Survey in the Upper
Susitna River Valley" (Dixon et al, 1982a). lbe results of the field work
conducted in 1982 are ·summarized ·in 11 Final Report 1982 Field Season Subtask
7.06 ~ultural Resources Investigation for the Susitna Hydrolectric Project:
Cultural Resource Survey in the Middle Susitna River Valley" {Dixon, et al,
1982b). · The final report for the 1983 field season ("Final Report 1983
Field Season Subtask 7.06 Cultural Resources Invertigation for the Susitna
Hydroelectric Project: Cultural Resource Survey in the. Middle Susitna River
Valleyu) will be completed in February 1984.
4.1.1.3 Data Availability. With the exception of the limited
archeological surveys conducted in 1953, 1970, and 1978, littlle information
concerning cultural resources in the project area was .available prior to
the 1980 fi·~ld program. Because of the small amount of available data,
archeological data from contiguous areas were used initially to assess the
archeological potential of the project area and to select survey locales
(areas exhibiting potential for site occurrence) •
40014/4 4-2
•
•
•
4 .1. 2 .. Ez;:~tbeses to be Tested
Two .general hypotheses will continue to be tested during the 1984 field
program. The first is the validity of the cultural chro&J.ology developed
from the literature search for this program. The second is the validity of
the predictive model for site occurrence in the upper Susitna River area.
The cultural chronology will continue to be tested by comparing hypothesized
cultur.al traits to .those discovered and dated. Each archeological period
must be evaluated separately using data from sites located during each
survey. 'I.b~ ·validity of the predictive model for site occurrence in the
upper Susitna River ~rea will continue to be tested by e~aluating locational
information about identified sites with the model's prec!ictions-. One
objective of the research is to ob.tain more precise data relavant to
prehi$toric settlement patterns and the juxtaposition of individual sites in
relation to the natural environments
4.1.3 Study Locations
The cultural resource study area is defined as land within approximately 3
kiiometers of the Susitna River from just below Devil Canyon to the mouth
of the Tyone .River. AlsQ included are areas associated with the proposed
borrow areas, transportation corridors, recreation sites, and transmission
line corridors from Fairbanks to He:aly, Willow to Anchorage, and the Watana
Dam site to the Intertie. During the 1984 field season, field work will
focus on the access road, railroad, and transmission lines.
4.1.4 Detailed Methodo!2Q.
4.1.4.1 Data Requir~ments. Archeological, ethnological, and historical
data will continue to be synthesized into a regional and local chronology in
an effort to predict the types and ages of sites that could be expected to
40014/4 4-3
•
•
•
.<
occur within the project &rea. In addition, geological data . the concem1ng
last glaciation and the surficial geology of the project area as well -as
baseline data on volcanic ashes (tephras) will be used to assist . 1n
establishing limiting dat<es for sites. Data resulting from ongoing cultural
resource anct geoarcheological studies will also continue to be used to
update the d.ata base.
4 •. 1.4~2 Sampling and Analytical Procedures. Based on the delineated
cultural chronology, document~~ sites of eac-::h culture period, and
geoarcheologic evaluations, survey locales will be identified. These
. sur~ey .. locales will thexi be subject to on-the-ground reconnaissance level
surveys to locate cultural resources. In addition, areas subject to ground
disturbing activities associated with the Project (such as geotechnical
exploration or· the siting of · camp-related facilities) will also be
examined.
In addition to identifying areas that exhibit archeological potential, areas
tbnt have very low or no potential for containing cultural resources and/ or
areas tha,t cannot be surveyed using present testing methods will also be
identified. These areas, wilich include steep canyon walls, standing water,
and exposed <gravel bars, will be eliminated from survey activities unless
they are subject to specific work associated with the Project, such as
drilling auger and bore holes, running seismic lines, digging test trenches,
and clearing helicopter landing pads. In these cases, a survey will be
attemptede · ·
Once an archeological site is locat~d, additional shovel tests will be
excavated, when possible, to the north, south, east, and west of the test
pit first documenting the site. This testing is designed to assist in
determining the extent of the site as well ·as to locate additional cultural
material. In an effort to minimze site disturbance, preliminary testing at
each site will be limited and all.test pits will be backfilled •
40014/4 4-4
4.1.5 Data Management and Report .Formats
To ensure consistent data collection in the field and to provide. a
systematic format for dat-a retrieval, a Site Survey Form will be used {see
Figure 6-1 in Section 6. 3). This form will serve as a basis for recording
specific information on each site located during the reconnaissance level
survey and for evaluating sites to ~~ included for further testiag. The
form ·is organized . into the follrowing major categories: site location,
environmental setting, site description and condition, photographic record,
artifact inventory, crew members, field book refer-ences, and recommendations
· for furthet:' · ~esi:ing.
A site map~ which consists of a freehand drawing of the topographic setting
of the site showing the location and orientation of all shovel and test
pits,.will be completed and-attached to the Site Survey Form. Specifically,
the site map will include horizontal and vertical datum points, site grid,
location of surface artifacts, features (such as hearths, cabin remains,
house pits) j distance and dir.ection ·to other . sites or maj\)r land features,
J
relevant vegetation, name of person drawing map, name of person recording
data, scale, date, and references to pages in field notebooks on which
additional information is recorded. A regional map showing the site in
relation to a larger portio.n of the study area including nearby rivers,
lakes, topographic features, 11egetation communities, and other sites in the
immediate area~ will also be .drawn.
Photographs will be taken at each site. The first picture will be an
identification photo which will indicate site number, date, and crew
members. Additional photographs will record the environment around the
site, features at the site, soil profiles exposed in test pi~s, and
artifacts or features in situ before removal by excavation.
40014/4 4-5
Detailed soil profiles will be drawn of soil deposits exposed at each test
pi:t •. The profiles will include a de$c.ription of color, grain size, and soil
consis.tency. Measurements documenting depth and thickness for each unit
will -also be recorded.
Survey Locale Evaluation Forms (see Figure 6-2 in Section 6.3) will also be
completed to ensure the recording of data on surface morphology,
archeological potential, and the location of testing. Survey Locale Maps
will be drawn at a scale of 200 to 300 meters to one inch showing the path
taken by the· survey crew lJ the location of subsurface testing, ~nd the
· location of· alf sl.tes which fall within the confines of the map. A similar
map, the Site Location Map, will be prepared for sites that do not appear on
Survey Locale Maps.
Daily_ field notes will be .kept. by each crew member, field noteb~oks will
rec9rd much of the same information found on the Site Survey Forms, such as
site location, ~opography, vegetation, soils, extent of site, and
photographs taken. Crew leaders will keep a continuous log of all areas
vurveyed, noting both the location of all test pits and natural exposures,
and the presence or absence of cultural material.
The location of all excavated and surface-collected artifacts will be
recorded. Specimens recovered during reconnaissance level survey will be
b.aoood 'hv a:rbitrarv. 5 centimeter levels, unless natural stratific:::tion is .... oo---,; ...
encountered. · Radiometric samples collected will be double wrapped in
aluminUl'll foil and placed in zip lock bags. All individual bags from each
test will be placed in a larger bag with site number, name, date, and
location on the outside. All test pit bags will be placed in a site bag
w-ith the site number and date on the outside. All site bags will be
organized by survey locale.

4.1.6 Coordination of Work Activities
4.1.6.1 Within Subtask. This work ac.tivity will be coordinated with the
reevaluation of the Cultural Resources Program described in Section 4.2.
4.1.6.2 With Other Studies. The continued identification of archeological
and historic sites will be coordinated closel~ with Task 39 Logistics, Task
·41· Transmi~s~cin'System, and Task 3 Engineering.
4.1.6.3 With Subcontractors. The University of Alaska Museum will continue
to conduct the. field ·work associated· with the Cultural Resource Program.
The ~ork efforts related to thi.s activity must be coordinated closely wi'i:h
the Museum.
4.1.6.4 With Regulatory Agencies. The continued identification of cultural
resources in the project area is responsive to FERC's request for cultural
resources information about the Project. In addition, this work effort will
"
require the acquisition of relevant permits from land management agencies

4.1.7 Schedule and Deliverables
The 1984 field program is scheduled to begin in early June. The results of
the survey work will be summarized and submitted tc FERC on February 1,
1985.
4.2 CULTURAL RESOURCES: REEVALUATE THE SUSITNA CULTURAL RESOURCES
PROGRAM
40014/4 4-7
4.2.1 Backgrou!!!
The principal research efforts focusing on cultural resources potentially
affected by the proposed Susitna Hydroelectric Project were begun in 1980
by the , University of Alaska Museum in Fairbanks. Field programs that
concentrated. on identifying and systematically testing archeological and
historic sites have been conducted for four summers, beginning in 1980. At
the end of the 1983 field season, reconnaissance surveys had been completed
for the Watana and Devil Canyon dam sites and impoundment areas and 12
borrow areas;' systematic testing had h~eu completed at 24 sites; and
· sensitivity· niappl.ng had· been completed for the proposed access road,
railroad, Phase I recreation sites, and the transmission line from Fairbanks
to Healy, Willow to Anchorage, and the Watana Dam site 'to the Intertie.
Subsequent to the submittal of . the Draft and Final License Application, a
number of issues have been raised regarding the Cultural Resources Program
methodology and the role of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
(ACHP). One objective of the FY 1984 Cultural Resources Program is to
reevaluate the program in light of methodolgical and procedural questions
raised so that necessary changes in program methodology can be incorporated
into the mit.igation program.
4.2.1.1 Rationale. The Susitna Project's Cultural Resources Program
represents a complex and detailed scientific research effort encompassing a
large geogr.aphic area which has no previously established archeological
record. The cost of this program (including the Universj.ty of Alaska Museum
subcontract, Harza-Ebasco administration and management, and logistical
support for fieldwork) represents a significant annual project expenditure.
Changes in pr.ogram methodologies or scope could result in an increase or
decrease in the overall cost of the licensing effort.

(Rev.0-1/84)
In a review of correspondence to the Power Authority regarding the Susi tna
Project~ testimony to the Power Authority Board of Directors~ agency
comments on the Draft .License Application, and workshop summaries, a number
of agency-raised issues regarding the Cultural Resources Program were
identified. The following list outlines the principal issues rained:
1. The role of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation should
be clarified.
2. The · approach for evaluating archeological resources (either
individually or as districts) needs to be determined.
3. Resource significance criteria for evaluating site or resource
significance needs tc be defined.
4. ·The advice of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation should
be solicited in developing a plan for the continued survey and
inventory of cultural resources and for developing a detailed
mitigation plan.
5. A detailed mitigation plan should be developed and approved by the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the State Historic
Preser1ration Officer, and representatives of appropriate land
management agencies.
(See Section 6.2 for the complete list of agency-raised issues.)
In li:.ght of tbe procedural and methodological issues raised and ·the
potential implicditions to the cost of the Cultural Resources Program and the
overall licensing effort, a reevaluation of the program i.s warranted •

4.2.2 Hypotheses to be Tested
While there are no hypothese~ to be tested in this work activity, there are
a number of methodological questions which must be addressed. These
include:
1. Is it appropriate to progressively broaden the research or should
there be a plan which can progressively focus it?
2. What criteria should be used to focus research efforts?
3. Is it appropriate to locate and recover data from as many sites as
possible, or is it more appropriate to develop a plan for
strategically acquiring essential information from the best
sites?
40011 ... /4 4-10
••
4. Is it appropriate to recover data for all sites where avoidance is
not possible regardless of the relative quality of each site?
5. Should the research questions and hypotheses be refined in order
to focus inventory, systematic testing, and mitigation efforts?
6. Should research and analysis or non-archeological properties be
given more emphasis?
7. Is it appropriate to designate the Susitna project area as an
ar-cheological district rather than to examine each site
individually to determine site significance?
8. Bow·will resource significance be determined? ..
In addition, one procedural question must be answered: What is the legal
role and responsibility of the ACHP on the Susitna Project?
4.2.3 Study Locations
The reevaluation of the CuLtural Resources Program will focus primarily on
the study area previously i(:lentified for the program. This area is
defined as land within S1?proximately 3 kilometers of the Susitna River from
just below Devil Canyon to the mouth of the Tyone River. Also included are
areas associated with the proposed borrow areas, transportation corridors,
recreation sites, and transmission line corridors from Fairbanks to Healy,
Willow to Anchorage, and the Watana Dam site to the Intertie.
4.2.4 Detailed Metbodoloay
In order to accomplish the objectives of this task, two basic activities
will occur. First, a position paper outlining the role and legal
responsibilities of FERC and the ACHP as well as the Alaska State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) with
regard to the Cultural Resources Program of the Susitna Project will be

4.3 SOCIOECONOMICS: UPDATE BASELINE AND WITH-PROJECT SOCIOECONOMIC
PROJECTIONS
4.3.1 Background
Chapter 5 of Exhibit E of the License Application id.entified socioeconomic
impacts resulting froDl the proposed Susitna Hydroelctr:lc Project for local
and regional impact areas, as well as for the State of Alaska. The local
impa.ct area is defined as the Mat-Su Borough, including lands in and around
the project site and nearby communities such as Cantwell. The regional
impact area (refe-,:red to as the Railbelt) includes the Anchorages-Kenai-Cook
40014/4 4 ... 14
•
•
(Rev.O-l/84)
Inlet, Seward, Valdez-Chitina-Whittier, Mat-Su Borough, Southeast Fairbanks,
and Fairbanks-North Star census divisions. A map of he local and regional
impact areas is presented in Figure 4-1. The.se projections are being
updated in response to requests by the FERC. In addition, following th$
preparation and submittal of the License Application, State and Railbelt
economic and demt>graphic projections were revised by the Institute of Social
and Economic
Resea~ch (ISER). The revised projections are based on reformulated assump-
tions regarding anticipated economic activity in the State and, more speci-
fically, in the Railbelt and Mat-Su Borough. In addition to incorporating
·the revised. ISER projections, the updated projections for the Susitna
Project will also reflect the results of household, business, public sector,
and transmission line worker surveys ..
4.3.1 .• 1 Rationale. In response to changing economic conditions in Alaska,
the Railbelt~ and the Mat-Su Borough, and in light of new community-specific
data, baseline socioeconomic forecasts will be updated. This update will
reflect different scenarios for access and commuting options including
alternative r.outes and mc;des of transporting workers. Together these
baseline and without-proj.ect forecasts will provide the basis for updating
socioeconomic impact projections.
4.3.1.2 Previous Studies. Socioeconomic projections for the Susitna
Project were developed through the use of an integrated econometri.c model.
Estimated socioeconomic impacts considered the residency and movement of
project construction and operation personnel, adequacy of available housing,
and impacts on public services and facilities, fish and wildlife user
groups, and local government revenues and expenditures. This information
was presented in Chapter 5, Exhibit E of the License Application.
Rar:z.a-Ebasco conducted a workshop in July 1983 to facilitate a broader
understanding by interested agencies and the general public of the
40014/4 4-15
•
•
analytical approach and techniques used to forecast ·potential socioeconomic
impacts of the Project. Working Paper No. 1 (Susitna Hydroelectric Project
Subtask 4.5 Socioeconomic Studies: Projection Assumptions, Methodology, and
Output Formats) pr~vided workshop participants with specific assumptions and
methodologies used to forecast potential impacts. The paper addressed in
detail the structure of the model, including the economic-demographic,
public facilities and services, and fiscal modules and their linkage.
Stephen Braund and Associates conducted a study as part of the license
application process, entitled Susitna Hydroelectric Project Sociocultural
St'udies, o~· tlie· social organization of communities in the local impact area,
including Trapper Creek, Talkeetna, Chase, Curry, Sherman, and Gold Creek.
Through informal interviews, Braund and Associates described the social
structure of these communities as well as attitudes towards the Susitna
Proje.ct. The information .contained in the report was used in projecting
social impacts in Chapter 5, Exhibit E of the License Application •
~.3.2 Hypothesis to be Tested
Task 4 is designed to test the following hypothesis: construction and
op·eration workers and their families who move from other parts of Alaska
or from the Lower 48 to a community within the local impact area will (as
pre·dicted in the License Application) relocate primarily to Cantwell,
Tra·i~per Creek, and Talkeetna. Specifically, the estimated peak project-
indu1ced pop.ul·ation in-migration, which was estimated to occur in 1990, is
475 ;persons in Trapper C'C:"eek, 1,000 persons in Cantwell, and 335 persons in
Talkeetna. As a result, adverse impacts are expected to occur in these
communities on housing supply and prices and on the communities• ability to
meet the increased demand for public services and facilities.
The magnitude of population in-.migration to Cantwell will depend on l\Jhether

• expected to expe.rience the largest relative population impact due to its
•
" location in the northern part of the Mat-Su Borough and on the Parks
Highway~ Talkeetna is expected to experience the amallest population
impact relative to C~ntwell and Trapper Creek. The with-project forecasts
were based on the assumptions of Denali Highway access, a new town at the
project site to house workers, but no specified worker rotation schedule or
transportation arrangements.
4.3 •. 3 Study Locations
· The update!} projections ·will include both regional and local impact areas
with emphasis placed on Cantwell, Talkeetna, and Trapper Creek, the
location of household, business, and public sector murveying. The
transmission line worker-survey will provide information on workers residing
in th~ Cantwell and Trapper.Creek areas.
4.3.4 Detailed Methodolo&r
In order to update the baseline and with-project forecasts, primary data on
the local impact area communities will be collectedo This will be
-
accomplished through face-to-face t.':'urveys in these communities. The data
will subsequently be tabulated, analyzed, and SUDDDarized in survey reports.
In addition to collecting primary data, secondary data will be collected to
update the baseline forecasts. These data will be collected for Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Mat-Su Borough, cormnunities within the Mat-Su Borough, and
Cantwell. The revised socioeconomic projections will be documented in
Working Paper #2.
~3.4.1 Data Reguirement~. Household, business, and public sector surveys
were. conducted in Cantwell, Talkeetna, and Trapper Creek in October and
November 1983. The household survey was designed to obtain information on
demographic characteristics; employment, len.gth of residence,
40014/4 4-17
•
• ·,
I
characteristics of the housing stock, satisfaction with public services and
facilities, and hunting, fishing, and trapping activities. (See Section 5.4
for a. copy of the Household Survey instrument.) The following information
from the household surveys will be used to update the socioeconomic
projections: v.acancy rates; average household s:i.ze; number of primary and
secondary school-age children per household; prior place of residence and
reasons for settling in community; seasonality of resident; employment
status; number of unemployed workers by age and sex; number of employed
adults per household; primary occupations of the unemployed; employment by
length of resfdence; number {)f persons employed less than full time; mode of
·transportation to.and from work; Gverage commute time; number of round trips
per week; and time references for commuting to work.
Questions on the business survey are related to the types of products and/or
services provided, the volume of revenu~s, number of employees, business
expansion plans, and revenues assoicated with bunting, fishing and trapping
(See Section 6. 5 for a copy of the Business Survey instrument.). The
following information from the .business surveys will be used in updating the
projections: products and services by Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) code; business volume; and seasonality of employment for part-and
full-time employees.
The public sector survey, which is based on the business survey, was
designed to obtain employment and budgetary information on public sector
employers. · ·(see Section 6. 6 for a copy of the Public Sector Survey
instrument.) Information on part-and full-time employment, size of the
public sector, size of the budget, and plans for expanding or decreasing
service levels will be used to update the projections. Together the
busines1.s and public sector surveys will provide a complete characterization
of employment in each coDDDunity •
40014/4 4-18
•
•
A survey of trausmission line workers on the Anchorage/Fairbanks Intertie
Project was conduct~,.,d in .September 1983. This survey, which consists of ten
questions, was designed to elicit information on the geographic origin,
family composition and location, and temporary housing characteristics.
(See Section 6.7 for a copy of the Intertie worker survey instrument).
Secondary data will be collected to update the baseline forecasts~ These
data ·include government revenues and expenditures, school revenues and
expe ..... ditures, capital budgets, population, employment, and characteristics
and capacities of affected public services and facilities. The sources of
. these publisJted services· and unpublished data include the Mat-Su Borough;
Anchorage Office of the Mayor; City of Fairbanks; the Mat-Su, Rail belt,
Anchorage, and Fairbanks school districts; local offices of mayors; .
Institute of Social ·and Economic Research; Alaska Department of Labor;
Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development; Mat-Su Borough
Planning Department; Statae Trooper offices; and Valley Hospital •
4.3.4.2 Sampling and Analytical Procedures. The household surveys were
-
based on a 30 percent sample of households in each community.. An attempt
was made to survey all businesses and public sector employers in each
community as well as all transmission line workers residing in the sreas of
Talkeetna and Cantwell. Based on the 1982 tax assessment records for the
Mat-Su Borough, Trapper. Creek had 60 houst~holds and Talkeetna had 126
households within the townsite.. Based on the Cantwell postmaster's 1982
records, Cantwell had 89 households. A total t'lf 36 households and 25 of the
26 existing businesses were surveyed.. In Talkeetna., 34 households and 30 of
tht' 32 ·existing businessea were surveyed. In Trapper Creek, 20 households
and all 12 businesses were surveyed. In the public sector survey, 19
employers from a possible total of 21 employers were surveyed. For the
transmission line survey, responses were obtaint"~d from 89 out of 148
workers.
40014/4 4-19
•
A combi~a.~ion of stratified and cluster sampling .techniques was used to
select the household survey sample. In each community$ houses were
cluste~ed into blocks on a map according to their location. The .Mat-Su
Borough Tax Asse~sor 1 s office p1rovided the Talkee.tna and Trapper Creek maps;
t~e U.S. Post Office in Cant,iiell provided the map illustrating houses in
Cantwell. A 100 percent sampl~lng of households within each block was taken
until the overall 30 percent s;!lmple was attained. In Talkeetna~ the blocks
were selected randomly to determine the orde.r in which households would be
surveyed.. A modified version of the cluster sampling technique wGs used in
Trapper Creek and Cantwell, where the population is relatively
· be.terog~eou~ ~ · in Cantwell; ·the clusters, or blocks, were stratified to
ensure that both Natives and non;..Natives were represented. In Trapper
Creek, stratification was used to ensure that households on both the east
and "t~est: sides of the 'pa·rks Highway were sampled.
The technique for gathering the data varied according to the type of survey
administered. Face-to-face interviews were conducted for the households and
businesses. Interview instructions, which are provided in Section 6.8, were
de'\-reloped to outline the procedures for administering these surveys. The
public sector surveys were administered by telephone, while the transmission
line worker surveys were distributed and collected by contract managers.
The household and business survey instruments went through several
iterations before they were finalized. . During the various stages of
development;, the survey instrument was reviewed internally as well as by the
Power Authority, Alaska Department of Fish anci Game, Alaska Department of
Community and Regional Affairs, Mat-Su Borough, and Charlotte Thomas~ an
independent consultant. Both the public sector and transmission
worker surveys were developed by Harza-Ebasco staff in cooperation with the
Power Authority.
40014/4 4-20
• A pre-test of the household and business survey instruments was conducted to
evaluate the efficacy and sequencing of the questions. lbe pre-test was
conducted in Cantwell so that the survey would be administered to Native
households. Five household and two business surveys were administered
during the pre-test. The household survey was subsequently revised.
The response to each question on. the household, business ,and transmission
line worker surveys will be coded directly on the computer. The analyzed
data will be oupu.t to illustrate the average of responses, frequency
distributions; and cross tabulations. Responses from the public sector
su·rveys weie. anaiyzed by hand and included an &nalysis of the average of
responses and frequency distributions ..
4. 3.5 Data Management a·nd Reports
Applicable survey and secondary data will be input into the socioeconomic
impact model, which is the mechanism for processing and analyzing the data
and producing the updated projections.. The economic-demographic module will
calculate the impacts of the Project on population, employment, and housing,
by impact area and year, and will provide detailed population in-and out-
migration information to the public facilities and services, and fiscal
modules. This information is then used in those modules to determine
impacts on public facilities and services, and expenditures and revenues of
local jurisdictions.
The results and findings of this work activity will be summarized in a
serieti of i"eports and working papers. Reports on the household and business
surveys will ~e prepared by community. The results of the public sector
st~rvey will. be summarized in one report as will the results of the
transmission line worker su'1\"Vey. Each report text will include a
description of the sampling ·metho4ology and survey instrtmlents used e The
results ·fQr each variable, which 'will be tabulated primarily by calculating

Working Paper #1, which has been completed, describes each of its economic-
demographic, public facilities and services, and fiscal modt~~es.. The
assumptions and methodologies used to estimate the impacts within each
module. are explained as well as the overall structure of the model and the
furctional relationships among all the modules.
Working Paper· #2 will consist prima-rily of the computer printouts used to

4.4 SOCIOECONOMICS: UPDATE THE SOCIOECONOMIC MITIGATION PLAN
4.4.1 .Background
The purpose of developing a socioeconomfc impact mittigation program is to
help. minimize or eliminate the adverse socioeco~omic impacts resulting
from the construction and operation of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project.
This will be accomplished by developing and providing impact information to
coiiiilunities, agencies, and organizations; evaluating the cost-effectiveness
of .such measures; making adjustments to these measures as baseline
socioecqnomic conditions change and/or as new information on project
planning is received; and implementing the mitigation plan.

' ·"'. ···-.-, 4.'4 .•. 1.1 Rationale. The Socioeconomic Mitigation Plan must be responsive to
soci!.'econc:aic projections as they are revised so that. the plan may be
prescriptive rather than reactive. The impact mitigation plan will be
directed toward avoiding or minimizing project impacts on two groups:
resident-s in the project vicinity, with emphasis placed on the Mat-Su
Borough and the communities of Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and Cantwell; and
the constructio·n and operation work forces.
Chapter 5 :~ Exhibit E of the License Application did not contain a well
defined socioeconomic impact mitigation plan. Rather, the section on
· mftigation. ·pl~nining was ·a discussion of objectives and processes used to
prepare a mitigation plan. Specific mitigation measures were not identified
. in the License Application because several of the key variables, i.e.,
management of a new town, transportation of workers, and worker rotation
schedules, were unknown. This updated mitigation plan will be developed to
address a range of impacts that will be calculated using different project
planning scenarios. In addition, this plan will provide more current
information to FERC and interested agencies.
4Q4.1.2 Previous Studies. No previous studies on mitigation measures for
the Susitna Project have been conducted other than the discussion of
mitigation in Chapter 5, Exhibit E of the License Application.
-4.4.2 Hypothesis to be Tested
There are no hypotheses to be tested for this task. However, the focus of
the mitigation platA wi 11 depend upon the results of the hypothesis to be
tested in updating the baseline and with-project socioeconomic projections

4.4.3 Study Locations
r4e mitigation plan will be directed toward mitigating project-induced
impacts on residents of the Mat-Su Borough and, specifically, on the
cammunities of Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and Cantwell. The .mitigation plan
will also recommend measures to enhance productivity and the qual~ty of life
for construction and operation workers at the project site. This aspect of
the mitigation plan will focus on the construction camp and permanent
village.
4.4.4.1 Data Requirements. Estimating the difference between the with-
project and baseline projections wili form the basis for identifying the
types. of potential socioeconomic impacts resulting from the construction
and operation of the proposed projec.t as well as their geographic
distribution. Information on baseline conditions will be obtained both from
secondary data used to update the baseline impacts as well as from
household, business, and public sector surveys. Additionally, agencies and
organizations potentially affected by the Susitna PrDject will be contacted
to obtain input on possible mitigation measures.
4.4.4.2 Sampling and Analytical Procedure. 'The process for developing a
mitigation plan will includ.e the followin8t tasks:
1. Formulate the objectives of the mitigation plan in coordination
with affected agencies and communitieso
2. List the types of impacts that could occur based on a comparison
of baseline conditions and the revised with-project. projections •

RECREATION: PREPARE A RECREATION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION REPORT
This . task consists of preparing a report that describes in detail how to
implement the Susitna Hydroelctric Project Recreation Plan presented in
Chapter 7, Exhibit E of the License Application. This report will address
the planning, development, and management responsibilities fox all parties
(i.e., the Power Authority, recreation and land management agencies, and
landowners) associated with the recreation plan, implementation schedules,
and recreation policies. A major focus will 'be guidelines. for formulating
and documentating necessary inter-party agreements. While primary emphasis
of the implementation report will be on the first phase of the recreation
plan, which includes facilities associated with the recreational impacts of
Watana constr·uction, the groundwork must be laid for implementation of the
entire plan.
4.5.1.1 Rationale. FERC regulations require development of a plan for
public recreation associated with the Susitna Project. While the License
Application contains a proposed recreation plan, this plan is necessarily
limited in scope by the nature of the License Application and the licensing
process. Initially, the function of the recreation plan is to propose

agreement has been reached on the content of the plan,
(Rev.0-1/84)
After general
but before the
recreation plan can be carried out, four principal steps must be completed.
These include: (1) resolution of policy issues concerning access to and use
of the project area; (2) identification and development of agreements
regarding land acquisition and transfer, or land easements for recreational
use; (3) assignmtant of management responsibilities for recreation facilities
and activities; and (4) det.ailed planning and design scheduling of
facilities. The Recreation Pl.an Implementation Report will address these
steps and wili outline the acti,rities, milestones, and schedules required to
· develop th~ proposed recreation facilities within the desired timeframe.
4.5 .1. 2 Previous Studies and Data Availability. The principal documents
that will be used in this work activity include the License Application and
suppo~ting or related mate.rials prepared in its development, comments by
agencies and individuals, and external reports containing relevant
information on current and future recreation and land management activities •
Because of the interrelationships between study subtasks and project-area
recreation, the License Application documents that will be used include:
Chapter 7, Recreational Resources; Chapter 8, Aesthetic Resources; Chapter
·9, Land Use; Chapter 5, Socioeconomics; and Chapter 3, Fish, Wildlife and
Botanical Resources. Comment materials will include responses to FERC
supplemental information requests as well as comments and responses
concerning the Draft and Final License Application. External source
materials wil·l consist of the Alaska Outdoor Recreation Plan and other
Alaska Division of Parks 1 documents; Bureau of Land Management reports
concerning the .Denali Planning Block, and the Denali Scenic Highway Study;
Alaska Departm~nt of Fish and Game reports on fish ar1d wildlife management
in the project area; and any other relevant documents related to land
diaposal or other management activities of federal, state, local and Native
organizations •

4.5.2 Hypothesis to be Tested
There are no hypotheses to be tested in this work activity.
4.5.3 Study Locations
The Recreation Plan Implementation Report will be keyed to the recreation
plan presented in the License Application. As shown in Figure 4-2, the
project area for the recreation plan may be generally described as the area
south of the Denali Highway, west of the upper re.aches of the Susitna River,
north of Stephan, Watana and Clarence lakes, and east of the Parks Highway.
4.5.4 Detailed Methodology
Prepa~ation of the recreation implementation report will not employ a
specific and detailed analysis methodology. Rather, this effort will
consist of an interactive group process aimed at achieving and documenting
concensus on implementation and providing a framework for future actions.
4.5.4.1 Data Requirements. Review of the sources identified in Section
4.5.1.,2 will provide most of the information required for developing the
implementation report; the remainder will be derived through interaction
with the Power Authority and other relevant agencies. While no new studies
appear to be required for the implementation report, the results of recent
or concurxent · studies will be evaluated and utilized as appropriate. For
example, the household surveys conducted under the Socioeconomics Sub task
may provide useful information on recreational use of the project area that
should be accounted for in implementing the recreation plan. Furthermore,
since potential refinements to the project access plan could require
substantial modifications to the recreation plan, additional studies on
project access must be monitored.
40014/4 4-29
(Rev.O .. l/84)
4.5 .4 .. 2 Analytical_P,rocedures. The implelmentation report will be prepared
in accordanc.e with the four key areas di;scussed above: (1) resolution of
policy issues~ (2) identification of land agreements, (3) assignment of
management responsibilities, and {L.) detailed planning and design
sched!uling.
1. .!_esolution of Policy Issues
40014/4
Policy issues to be addressed in the implementation report will
include concerns such as public access to the project area 1 the
neec:t for regulations to protect project-area resources and/or
current> users' and enforcement of new or existing regulations.
'l'he most significant issue will be whether the project area and
access system will be open to the public, as was assumed in the
recreation plan. Other unresolved issues include the potential
need for measures. to protect the interests of current subsistence
ueers, special wildlife management provisions, restrictions on
project workers, and replacement-in-kind of lost opportunities not
fully addressed by the recreation plan.
A review of the.current recreatiun plan and appropriate supporting
documents from the licensing process will provide the starting
point for the resolution of these policy issues. Agency and
public positions on these l!.asues will be determined from the
existing record, including comments on :the License Application,
results of workshops and of the public participation process, and
age.ncy plans and policy documents. Further input will be
solicited by letter from affected organizations. Subsequently,
the Power Authority will develop proposed policies for interactive
review. It is anticipated that t:he following organizations ¥1ill
be .included in this process:

6. Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
7e Native Corporations
8. Interest and User Groups
For · issues that can be resolved through this process, consensus
agreements will be documented and stipulated to by the concerned
parties. Issues that remain unresolved will be so identified in
the implementation report, along with the positions of the
respective organizations, the steps necessary or possible for
resolution in the futu·re, and a proposed timetable for such
action.
Identification of Land Agreements.
Acquisition of land or easements will be necessary before
development of most of the facilities proposed in the recreation
plan can occur. Actual negotiation and completion of such land
agr~ements can and should be identified in the report. Based on
an updated in~entory of land status in the project area, and any
modifications to the recreation plan resulting from the settlement
proc.~~ 6 iJ the report will provide basic information relating to
land rights needed to implement the plan. For recreation sites
that are part of Phase I, this will include identification of all
landowners involved, the recommended me.thet~.: of acquisition (inter-
agency land tranfer, outright purchase, or easement), acreage
requirements, and the general course of action required by the
Power Authority 1 s land agent. Only the first step, landowner

identification, will be conducted for sites in Phase II through
Phase V of the recreation plan.
Assignment of Man~gement Responsibility
Agency responsibilities for implementating the recreation plan and
any policies agreed to through the settlement process must be
assigned and documented. The ultimate goal will be to obtain a
formal agreement between the Power Authority and the Alaska
Division of Parks specifying all financial, administrative and
other responsibilities for the construction and oper2tion of ..
the project's recreational facilities. If any facilities are to
become the responsibility of agencies other than the Division of
Parks, similar assignments must be made. This would apply to
facilities at Brush kana Camp, since this development will
constitute an addition to an existing BLM campground, and the
Watana Townsite .•
Land management responsibilities must also be addressed for
recreation development or activities which will occur on BLM,
Alaska Department of Natural Resources (ADNR), or Native
corporation lands. '!Dis would also apply to cases where easements
must be reserved on BLM or ADNR lands prior to transfer or
d~sposal. Additionally, management responsibilities must be
assigned for implementing any policies agreed to under the first
part of this activity, such as management of public access and any
special management of project-area wildlife resources.
The objective of the implementation report will be to assign (md
document management responsibility to the gr,eatest extent
possible, si~nce this work must be done prior to the granting of
the FERC license. In cases where agreement on responsibilities is
not possible, the report will outline respec.tive positions and the

4. Detailed Planning and Design Scheduling
Following the broader strategic activities of issue resolution and
assignment of .management responsibilities, a series of detailed
actions are required to complete the recreation plan. These
actions include: 1) refinement of the recreation concept based on
the resolution of policy issues; 2) preparation of a masterplan
~ -. .
for each proposed facility; 3) detailed construction drawings for
each facility; 4) completion of bid documents and specifications;
5) proposal development and contractor selection; 6) construction
supervision; and 7) post-construction evaluation for conformance
to specifications. The implementation report will set specific
dates for these actions, and discuss their timing relative to
resolution of outstanding policy and responsibility issues.
The results of this work activity will be summarized in a chart
indicating what was accomplished through this task and what
remains to be done, by or with whom, possible approaches to
resolution, relationship ·to other studies, necessary deli verables,
and data required. Once complete, the chart can be used to track
the critical-path progress of the recreation plan.
4.5.5 Data Management and Reports
All verbal information obtained in preparing the Recreation Plan
Implementation Report will be recorded on standard Harza-Ebasco meeting
and reports-of-conversation forms. Meetings will be documented as to date,
topic discussed, and results. Meeting summaries will be circulated to all

participants for review and concurrence, and will be included as appendices
to the ;:eport.
The Recreation Plan Implementation Report format will include a background
discussion relating the report to the FERC licensing process and a
discussion chapter on each of the four work items identified in Section
4.5.4.2~ For example, the chapter on the resolution o.f policy iasues will
present a summary of facts related to each issue, a listing of more detailed
references, the initial policy positions of all parties, consensus reached
through tbe implementation report activity, and issues that remain to be
. . .
resolved.· Summary material will clearly specify the remaining
implementation work that must be accomplished prior to the granting of the
license, and will outline the schedule required to complete .this work.
4.5.6· Coordina:·tion of Work ·Activities ., ______________________ _
4.5.6.1 Withit.l Subtask. The primary coordination needs within the -------------------·--------recreation implem\ftntation task ·involve the first three work items concerning
policy issues, land agreements, and management responsibilities.
Interrelationships among these work items are self-evident from the previous
discussi~n. Progress on the identification of necessary land P-greements can
be independen.t of the other work to some extent, while assignment of
management responsibilities is largely dependent upon issue resolution.
4.5.,6.2 With.Other .Studies. As described previously, the recreation
implementation report must be completed in consultation with past and
cu1;rent :work on fish and wildlife resources, socioeconomics, aesthetic
resources, and land use. In addition,, any major changes in the project
access plan would probably requirE~ substantial revisions of the recreation
plan.

4.5 .. 6.3 With Resulatory Agencies. Further information requests or comments
concerning policy issues, management responsibilities, and future recreation -'
planning work have been. made by FERC and other agencies in their ~eview of
the License Application. The recreation implementation r-;eport work activity
bas been designed to respond to those concerns. Aside from FERC, the
agencies. likely to be involved in the implementation process were identified
in Section 4.5.4.2.
4o5.7 Schedule and Deliverables
Work on this activity will begin on January 15 no that agency comments on
the License Application and responses to those comments can be effectively
incorporated into the work plan. As set forth in the Social Science Program
General InvestigeLtion Memorandum for FY 1984:: the implementation report will
be com~leted Ap·.cil 1, 1984. This report constitutes the only deliverable
for this work .activity, although summaries of agency meetings will be
transmitted to the Power Authority as they are prepared •
4.6 AESTHETICS: PREPARE AN AESTHETICS MITIGATION PLAN UPDATE
4.6.1 Background
FERC regulations require that Chapter 8, Exhibit E of the License
Application describe mitigation measures that will be incorporated into
design of ·th·e Susitna Hydroelectric Project. While a large number of
general and specific aesthetic mitigation possibilities were identified in
Chapter 8, decisions and commitmen.ts as ~o which measures will be
implemented have not been resolved. These decis~ons must be finalized prior
to granting of the FERC license ..
4.6.1 .. 1 Rationale. Selection of aesthetic mitigation measures to be
incorporated into project design is a significant decision that requires

complete until final project planning has been accomplished, will be
initiated in FY 1985. The major objective of this work activity is to
outline the necessary steps to ensure that final aesthetic mitigation
measures are selected on a timely basis.. This task will also provide a
general schedule for implementing those mitigation measures throughout the
construction phase of the Project.
4.6.1.2 Previous Studies. Previous studies that will provide the ..
background . matex:ials for preparing this report include Chapter 8 of the
License Application; reports addressing relevant Alaska projects, such as
Commonwealth Associates' reports on the Intertie; and general sources on . .
.mitigation techniques published by the U.S. Forest Service and U .. S. Fish and
Wildli~e Service. A specific reference list is included in Section 6.1
4.6.2 Hypothesis to be Teste~ .
There are no hypotheses to be tested in this work activity.
4.6.3 Study Locations
The Aesthetics ·Mitigation Plan Update will examine mitigation measures that
may be applied to thE~ proposed project facilities. As such~ the locations
of interest ·will focus on areas within the viewshed of each project
facility, including the dam sites, impoundment areas., access roads,
railroad, transmission lines, and recreation sites.
4.6.4 Detailed Methodoloiy
The basic approach to be followed in preparing of the mitigation plan update
will be to review previous work, examine the current project status, set
40014/4 4-36

•
•
(Rev.0-1/84)
the bounds of ~he '!litigation discussion, identify the parties that must be
involved, and determine the process necessary to reach a decision •
•
4.6.4.1 Data Requirements~ Preparation of the Aesthetics Mitigation Plan
Update will require a review of the location and design of all project.
facilities, existing and on-going studies, and information from project
engineers and task leaders regarding the engineering feasibility of the
potential mitigation measures identified in Chapter 8. Moreover, input will
be required fro'm the Power Authority regarding their decision-making
process for miti'gation commitments. It will also be necessary to examine
• + • •
the existing. comment/response record to determine which agencies must be
consulted regarding proposed aesthetic mitigation measures, and the current
policy positions of those agencies.
4.6.4.2 Analytical Procedures. In general, the Aesthetics Mitigation Plan
Update will specify the role of the Interdisciplinary Design Team, identify
agencies/ groups to be involved, discuss the relationship of the plan to
other studies, and describe the basic details of the mitigation program as
they relate to each 'phase of the project.
The Interdisciplinary Design Team will be an ongoing entity whose purpose
will be to review and monitor project design and design changes and to
recommend appropriate mitigation measuz·es to the Power Authority. Use of an
interdisciplinary approach will ensure that recommended mitigation measures
are examined· from many different perspectives. The updated plan will
discuss t:ne staffing of the Interdisciplinary Design Team~ guidelines for
what the design team will address and review the timing of the design team's
activities with other tasks.
Tbe Aesthetics Mitigation Plan Update will describe potentia.! mitigation
measures that were identified in Chapter 8, 1review subsequent changes
resulting from the review and comment/l'esponse process' and identify what
40014/4 4-37

•
••
(Rev.0-1/84)
needs to be done before the design team can make final recommendations to
the Powet: Authority. These L"emaining actions large-ly relate to the
engineering, environmental, and economic ad,Tisability of potential
mitigation measures. For e~tample, an enginee~c:ing assessment based on
hydraulic calculations would bE! required before terracing the side slopes of
the emergency spillway could be considered a feEtsible mitigation measure.
The update will identify all fca~sibility and trade-off studies required, and
will provide a general outline of the timing and level of effort for each
study~ In addition, key schedule milestones will be identified.
The overall · aesthetics mitigation program will change over time as the
licensing, design, construction, and post-construction phases of the Project
occur. The licensing phase has and will continue to focus largely on
gene::-al mitigation measures that have·broad application, such as feathering
the transmission line rights-of-way or applying form, line, and color
techniques to swi tchyard facades • These general mitigation measures will
recieve the greatest public, agency, and project management attention, and
will ·account for the bulk of· the effort of the Interdisciplinary Design
Team. During the design phase, aesthetic mitigation efforts will focus on
incorporating specific mitigation measures into detailed project design
activities. During the construction phase, mitigation efforts will focus on
preparing environmental mitigation CCJnstruction plans (blueprints for
contractors to follow during construction), and on management supervision.
Mitigation efforts in the post-construction phase will focus on monitoring
programs to ensure compliance with mitigation specifications.
4.6.5 Data Management and Reports
All verbal information obtained in preparinLg the Aesthetics Mitigation Plan
Update will be recorded on standard Har~~a-Ebasco meeting and re~ort-of
conversation forms. Meeting summaries will be circulated for review by
meeting participants. Meeting summarie:s and contact forms containing
40014/4 4-38
(Rev .0-1/84)
substantive material relating to mitigation recommendations will be included
in the update. 'l'he Mitigation-Plan Update will include a background
discussion relating the update to the FERC licensing p~ocess; a section on
the composition~ function and procedures of the design team; and sections on
each project phase. A chart will be. prepared listing· potential mitigation
measures, their status, team input, agency involvement, data needs, and key
dates and deliverables.
4.6.6 Coordination of Work A~tivities
4.6.6.1 Within Subtask.. The Aesthetics Mitigation Plan Update will not
involve disparate activities that will require extensive internal
coordination.
4.6.6o.2 With Other Studies; This work activity will n.eed to be coordinated
with the tlettlement process and any studies of potential project des:ign
modificatio·n studies.
4o6.6.3 W'ith Regulatory Agencies. Preparation of the update can be
undertaken without independent coordination with regulatory agencies, other
than submitting the results to FERC. While several agencies will be
involved in the design team evaluation process, the identification of agency
concerns needed for the update can be accomplished through e1. review of
2xisting project information.

5. 0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGIWI
5.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Harza-Ebasco Quality Assurance (QA) program is to provide
cantrol of the quality of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project environmental
studies and assurance that resu~ting data and reports represent quality end-
products which will withstand public and professional examination. The QA
Progz:am comprises all planned and systematic actions, including quality
analysis and corrective actions, necessary to provide adequate confidence in
. .
. the results of the Aquatic, Terrestrial, and Social Science programs.
5.2 GENERAL APPLICATION
The QA .Program will be ,applied specifically to all Harza-Ebasco management
activities and subcontractor technical activities related to the Susitna
Project environmental studies. However, where these activities interface
directly with other project tasks, auch as hydrologic .and hydraulic studies);
elements of this QA program may be applied. The general contents of the QA
Program addre.ss four major elements: organization and responsibilities;
operating procedures; document control; and audits. Specific QA guidelines
a.nd actions will be implemented with each subcontractor to assure quality$
reliability~ redundancy and traceability of technical data~ inf~rmation, and
project records.
'!he QA Program for the environmental studies is compatible with the Harza-
Ebasco Quality Control Plan as defined in Exhibit 7 of the Harza-Ebasco
Susitna Hydroelectric Project contract with the Power Authority. In
addition, this QA Program complies with the "Ebasco Quality Assursnce Manual

wildlife resources.
The competition between resources users
and the supply and dem~tnd of fish and

,. ECOSYSTEMS ll KEL Y TO BE ENCOUNTERED IN PROJECT AREA 'It
r-10lST TUNDRA: Moist tundra ecosystems usually fonn a complete ground cover and are e~resnely productive during the growing season. They vary from almost continuous and
un1 fonnly developed cottongrass tussocks with sparse growth of other sedges and dwarf
shrubs to stands where tussocks are scarce or lacking and dwarf shrubs are dominant.
Associated species are arctagrostis, bluejoint 9 tufted hairgrass, mosses, alpi·ne
azalea, woad rush!J mountain-avens, bistort, low-growing willows, dwarf birch,
Labrador tea, green alde~, Lapland rosebay, blueberry .and mountain cranberry.
HIGH BRUSH: These are dense to open deciduous brush systems. Floodplain thickets: The
subsystem i.s similar fran the rivers of the southern coastal areas t9 the
broad-braided rivers north of the Brooks Range. It develops quickly on newly exposed
alluvial deposits that are periodically flooded. The dominant shrubs are willows and
alders. Associated· shrubs are dogwood, prickly rose, raspberry, buffal oberry and
high bush cranberry •. Birch-alder-willow thickets: This subsystem is found near
timberline in interior Alaska. It consists of resin birch, American green alder,
thinleaf alder and several willow.species. Thickets may be extremely dense, or open
and interspersed with reindeer lichens, low heath type shrubs, or patches of alpine
tundra ecosystems. Other associated specie.s are Sitka alder, bearberry, crowberry,
labrador tea, spirea, blueberry and mountai·n cranberry.
_UPLAND SPRUCE-HARDYOOD FOREST: This ecosystem is a fairly dense interior forest composed
of white spruce~ birch, aspen and poplar. Black spruce typically grows on north
slopes and poorly drained fiat areas. Root depths are shallow. Fire scars are

pure stands near streams. Aspen and birch average 50 feet in height. Poplar
averaging 80 feet in height and 24 inches in diameter occurs in scattered stands
along streams. Undergrowth consists of mosses with grasses on drier sites and with
brush on moist slopes. Typical plants are willow, alder, ferns, rose, high and low
bush cranberry, raspberry, current and horsetail. · ·
LOWLAND SPRUCE-HARDWOOD FOREST: This ecosystem is a dense· to open interior lowland forest
of evergreen and deciduous trees, including extensive pure stands of black spruce.
Black spruce are slow growing and sel dam exceed 8 inches in .diameter or 50 feet in
t.eight. Cones of this tree open after fire and spread abundant seed, .. enabling black
spruce to quickly invade burned areas. The slow-growing ·Stunted tamarack is
associated with black spruce in the wet lowlands. It seldom reaches a diameter of
more than 6 inches. Rolling basins and knolls in the lowlands have a varied mixture
of white spruce, black spruce, paper birch, aspen and poplar. Small bogs and muskegs .
are found in the depressions. Undergrowth species include willow, dwarf birch, low
bush cranberry, blueberry, Labrador tea, crowberry, bearberry, cottongrass, ferns,
horsetail, lichens and·a thick cover of sphagnum and other mosses. Large areas
burned since 1900 are covered by willow brush and very dense black spruce sapling
stands.

SURVEY LOCALE EVALUATION FORM
PI *
*as needed
This fonn is intended to insure that three kinds of data for each locale are recorded·.
These data will guide additional surl..'ey, evaluation of areas that may need no further
work, and document areas surveyed and tested on-the-ground. If supplementary i nfonnati on
to this fonn is included in fieldnotes, please note this on the fonn along with your
name(s) and field book page number(s) •.
I. A field descripti'on of the locale is needed. The field description of the locale
should include the uniformity and variability of surface morphology. The information
which you record will be used t.o canpare this l~cale with other locales to detennine
similarity and aid in future locale selection and testingo
a. Describe the surface morphology nt'ting topographic features, drainage, soils,
t1!1!r· variation in surface slope, etc.

1.1. ~OUSEHOL~ SURVEY
A.· Background on ~he me~hodologt:
Possible households wore tden~lfled from t"he Mo~-su Borou~h's assessor
records of housing unl~s. These were clustered ln.to areas called
blocks.. A random sampll ng •ethod was used to choose ~he blocks 1"ha~
w I ! I b'8 surveyed • Eac.h househo I d 1 n a chosen b I ock shcu I d be sur-
veyed. This methodology was chosen In order ~o llml~ i'hf! amoun~ of
~ravel time neoded ~o eonduc~ ~he surveys.
Because of -the me~hodo I ogy used. a number of 1 ssues may come up 1 n
~rylng ~o loce-te households:
1. Some unlt"s·may be vacant •
.. 2a We do not have the names of 1"he residents we ere ~rytng ~o reach.
'· In some areas where roads are scarce. ~he mep wll I not be specific
as to where ~he housing unl~ Is. This wl~l be of mos~ consequenca
In ~he Trapper Cre~k ·survey.
4. Th·e. assessor records mey be outdated, en'd Bdd J t I one I hous 1 ng ~n 1 ts
may be found ln some blocks.

' . .
•
B. Operational procedures:
1. Attempt +o survey the blocks In the order listed.
2. Conduct 'the lntervlews between 9 e .. m. end 9 p.m. If lt appears
that the time Is Inconvenient for the respondent. set 6n eppotni•
mont for e better tlms~ Be on time for appointments~
3. ln·erees designated as parcel "AI6" or "84~, etc., the location of
the "X" on the map Is not ••ant te Indicate the location within the
pareel the housing unit Is. It 1s not possible to determine the
location with the date available to us.
4. If there Is no one present at e possible r®51denc~, try at least 2
callbacks. Callbacks should be done at different times of ~he day.
In order to mextmlze the possibility of finding the resld0nts et
home. If ·you are ab·le to· Interview a nedghbor of a housing ·un!t
that has no one at home, ask the neIghbor about . the uct l t (Is t t
occup led; if so, what Is a good tIme to catch tt.e res 1 dents at
hom e)·. ,
5 .. Do not spend more th~n 30 minutes trying to locate a housing unlto

some ere as of the Mat-Su Borough have a high Incidence of
no-trespass signs aT driveways and private roads. If you run
across one, try to go on In to see someone. However, 1 f you run
t nto tmy signs of hostility, leave Immediately.
A housing unl't w 1 I I be considered successfully canves.sed 1 f :
1. An Interview occurs.
:.. The unit Is Identified a~ vacant by a neighbor •
.3. The Interviewer' has attempted to csll on the housing unit
three times, at different times of day, and has not been able
to find someone at home~
A housing unit will be considered not successf~l!y canvassed if:
1. The household refused to respond.
2. The houstng untt can not be located.
3. It ls Impossible to gain eccess, due to barriers, dogs, etc.
a. The-a.Jstlng of blocks eontelns Information on the target number of
housing uniTs to be canvassed. If you are unable to meet the tar-
get number of households, either because of households that refuse
to respond or because the housing unit can not be located, there Is
a secondary listing of blocks that should be used. As alweys, In-
terview every household in each secondary block that It Is neces-
sary to canvass.
9. If more housing Is found In a block than was expected. go ahead a~d
IntervieW' those additional units. Thls Is espec1a~ly likely to
happen In Contwell. Do not count such households as pari" of the
l h\tlng of successfully canvassed housing unlts. These households

I f. ThIs l s the case, you shou i d exp I e t n to "the respondent that we
are· doing 'two 'types of surveys, and 'tha.t you would lIke i"o ask a
few more questions after the household survey ts complete. Upon
completion of the househol~ survey, tek~ out a copy of the business
questionnaire and run through lt.
Read the quest 1 ons exact I y as wrItten on the quest I onna L·e. If the
respondent does not understand the question, repeet tt. It 1s per-
mitted to elabor~te on the meaning of the question, If that appears
to be necessary ('this Is because we ere a small group, and we will
have gone over the purpose of each question In detat 1).
Keep a record of any questions that eppeer to be uncle8r to the
respondent.
14. Some of. 'the quest tons ask for pret'ty deta I I ed 1 nf ormat ton and may
be construed as. an I nvas 1 on of prIvacy bY some respondents. If a
respondent seems reluctant 'to answer a question, reiterate that the
questionnaires wtll be kept completely confidential, and that only
'the aggregated resut'ts ·will be made public.. If 'the respondent
refus·es to answer the· quest I on, 1 nd I cate thIs w 1 th en R In the
answer s I ot. and go on to the next quest I on. We do not want to
encourage people 'to skip questions, but It ls more Important to
complete the lnterYiew 'than to press for 'the answer to any particu-
lar question.
After the respondent has answered the last question, ask him If he
will answer The unanswered questlon(s).
t5. There are a couple ot questions that should be coded bY th•
viewer. after leaving the t.ouse-<Including 0-31, Q-l3,

c.· Fllllsm ln tbe Questionnaire
I~ lf there are a list of choices on ~he questionnaire, choose the one
that best fi1's the respondent's answer and write the number of the

of ·the categories, code the answer as ether, and wr lte down the

2. tr the question asks for a number of years, people, etc., be sure
to put a nuMber In 'the answer slot. Thus, If the respondent an-
