Should a decision be made to· implement ·'the Su$itna Hydroelectric Project (the 11 Project11 ), the licensing/permitting process will occupy the critical path towards project implementation for the ' · _ fjrst tWQ to: three years. This des.tgn transmittal h.as.-been prepared :under Subtask 10.02 of the Susitna Plan c.f Study. ·rhe, objectives of the \\Ork which this docl.lllent -address are as follows:. · _: Ide_ntify .. al1 regulatory requirements .for project implementation ... Identify data. needs for the various applications requested -Est~lish criteria for presentation of data, where applicable -Identify responsibilities of study participants (tasks/subtasks) for prep·aration of appli.cation Docunent the post-application i]rocess -Outline a plan for the licensing/permitting process The purpose of th j s doc lJTlent is to serve as a management too 1 to ensure that the -preparation and processing of applications will proceed in an orderly arid efficient manner. Since the point at which the decision will be made to proceed with the pt"oject and initial submittal of license application will be made is more than two years away, the process may be substantially , , modified due to changes in regulatory procedure. Further changes may be necessary as features of the project become better identified. Thus, to maintai-n its usefulness, this document will also be updated periodically to reflect new laws, regulations and project developments. At this time; many of the regulatory requirements for the project, particu- lar·ly at the State level, are uncertain. As project alternatives, transmis- sion corridors, and construction methods are selected, the particular need for and details of each permit will be more clearly estab1i;shr;d.. However, it is already clear that there is a need for several critical permits in- cluding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers permit, the State of Alaska Water Qualii·;y Certifica- tion, the Coastal Zone Consistency Certification, and an Anadromous Fish Protection Permit.· The licensi-ng and permitting process may, to some degree, be divid~d into permitting to implement the project and permitting for the construction pro- cess. Obviously, there is overlap in many cases. The FERC license, the local borough special use permit, and several state permits deal with the existence of the project. Other state permits and the remaining federal permits deal with the methods used to construct the pro- ject or the design criteria for specific structures. These generally re- quire compliance with certain codes and standards, rather than a governmen- tal decision regarding the desirabi 1 ity for and impacts of a project. The permits that require overall project approval have been addressed in greater detail in this report, since they are predictable at this stage of the pro- ject design study and require the greatest lead time for customized data development. A 1 ist of these licenses, permits, and certificates as pre- dicted at this stage is shown on Table 1.1. 1 -~ : ..

It is expected that there will be three major phase$ of submittals·of appli- cation during ;·mplementation of the project. Initia.lly, . several·· permit applicatiom~ wi"ll be submitted at the end of this study at the ti'me of sub- .. · _mittal of the FERC l: ... ense application. Near the end of the FERC processing ;~\ and deeision petriod, a second group of State and 'Local permits wi 11 be sub- .\\,rnitted whic;h w:ill allow the actual construction activities to p\.;oc~ed. As 'the project nears completion, it is likely that submission of operating per- n)it applicatioms will also be necessary. In addition, during the ,con~truc­ i1'ton process, it is foreseeable that many ind:ividual ap.plications may be needed for construction personnel and processes. The latter type of permits wi),~ be acquired by the individual·contractor as a normal aspect of their busi:ness .• The anticipated requirements for lice:nses permits, and certifica- tions based upon current regulations are listed in Table 1.1. This report is, organized so that simi 1 ar types of regulatory requirements are grot1ped,, such· as those concerning air, watel'' and building~ Licenses and processes'which encompass· several interests such as the·FERC license and the Stat~ Master Application process are discussed separately. This method of presentation was selected over that of grouping permits by level of · govel"nment ·because it allows for an easier de!~cription of the interaction that may occur between the processes. Section 3 of the report presents a tentative plan for license submittal and a Sf~hedule on which critical milestones are identified. Projected process- ing timeframes are predicted to estab 1 ish the overall preconstruct ion licensing~ schedule. There are three appendices to this transmittal.

Z.l -General Requirements 2 .1.1 -Federal The Susitna Hydroelectric Project will come under the direct regula- tory interests of at least two Federal government agencies: the Department of Energy, through the Federal Energy Regulatory Comnission (FERC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers· (Corps). In addition, ·certain .. aspects of the project may come under permitting actions administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Depart- ment of Transportation (DOT), Federal Railroad Admini stratim~ (FRA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Department of Interior, ·Bureau of Land Management ( BLM). The projects wi 11 also come under the purview of other Federal agencies indirectly through coordination efforts and in the review of the FERC license and Corps permit appli- cations. ·The Corps r.equi.res permits for discharge of dredged or fi 11 materi a 1 s, or· construction of structures or work in navigable waters of the United States. The Susitna River activities will fall under this jurisdiction. The most significant regulatory requirement for development of the Susitna project wi 11 be the FERC license. The FERC is an independent comnission which is administratively part of the Department of Energy . . Its jurisdiction extends to the Project since it is a hydropower pro- ject involving Federal Lands. Comnission jurisdiction may also apply where navi gab 1 e waters and i nter~tate commerce are i nvo 1 ved, (which are, however, not well defined characteristics of the project). Un- doubtly, FERC will assume the role of the lead federal agency in ths development of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). An EIS will be required due to the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act {NEPA). The lead agency is responsible for preparation, coordina- tion and filing of the federal EIS in accordance with NEPA require ... ments. The .EPA administers water quality permits under the National Pollution D.i scharge Elimination System (NPDES}. This progra.'11 has provisions for EPA to de legate authority to approved state permit programs. However 9 the State of Alaska has not petitioned to take over the EPA progrcm. ,Any facilities which will create a discharge will come under EPA jurisdiction. EPA will evaluate the discharge for conformance with standards regarding stream water quality and level of treatment. At this t.ime, it appears that the only facilities subject to NPDES will be the water treatment facilities associated with housing, public use or operating facilities of the project. However, there is court action pending which could declare dams or reservoirs point sources of pollution and subject to NPDES. Should the action prove successful, the dam projects themselves must be permitted. 5 In addition to the NPDES program, the EPA administers the new "statio- nary source 11 and. the 11 prevention of significant deterioration" {PSD) air -quality programs. Individual states may be delegated the respon- sibility for administration of these permits, as in the NPDES *program, although EPA currently maintains responsibility. It is expected that permits under these programs wi 11 be necessary, si nee construction camp facilities will require a temporary diesel generator and the pro- ject may include auxiliary power generating· facilities other than hydroelectric units. Acquisition of these permits should be relative- ly simple due to the fact that they apply to relatively small sources in an existing attainment area. The transmission and access road portions of the Project may be sub- ject to several federal permitting actions, depending on route selec- tion. The Alaska ·Railroad, a branc•1 of the Federal Railroad Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, will require an application for approval of any project transmission-line route plans which intend joint usage wi'th their right-of-way. The Federal Aviation Administra- tion has a notification procedure for any structures greater than 200 feet in height. Also, three agencies of the Department of Interior: the Fish and Wildlife Service~ (FWS), Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) a·nd Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will require land use permits for any affected federal lands under their jurisdiction. 2.1.2 -State The State of Alaska has an extensive permitting program which will deal with virtually all aspects .of the project. In the implementation of the project, up to 30 state permits may be required from the State, which may apply some degree of regulation to the Project, the con- struction process or to the participating companies and individuals. This report deals only with project oriented permits. In 1977 the legislature of the State of Alaska passed the Environmen- tal Procedures Coordination Act. The purposes of the· Act include establi~hment of simplified permitting procedures, assistance to potential applicants, a greater degree of certainty on permit require- ments and an increase in coordination between permitting agencies. The procedure established by the Act is relatively simple and clear, transforming a multiple permitting transaction into a single, two stage process for the applicant. The Department of Environmental Con- servation (DEC) administers the program. Although the Alaska permits are described individually in following sections, all are coordinated by DEC ·under this authority. 2 .. 1.3 -Local The local government entity with authority over the Susitna project area is the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. At present, the only permit prog·ram is under the Talkeetna Mountain Special Use District Ordin- ance. Under this ordinance, new developments including water resource 6 r ' - I . . ; I I I \ ; I I I I I -. I I I I I -and,·recreation uses. must be_ permitted by the Planning Co11111ission.

The regu 1 ati ons .. implementing the Federa 1 -~\ ·:·· ·Power Act (Section 4.3Q(c.)(l))~ prohibit the FERC from licensing any project ·''authorized by Jaw for federal deve1opmente 11 As the Corps' authorization is apparently only for study purposes Md not for construction, the FERC have lic~nsi11g juri~»diction.. This opinion has been supported by FERC staff mem- bers verbally, and· generally in correspondence between APA .. and Comnission staff~ Jurisdiction 'is basically determined on the project's interaction with interstate commerce, navigable waterways or fede_ral lands.. The Sus.itna pro- ject is clearly under FERC jurisdiction due to federally held project lands. A preliminary:permit is for the sole purpose of securing priority of appli- cation .for a-license for a water power project under Part I· of the Federal .Power Act, \;Tt~Te the permittee obtains the data and performs the acts re- quired to det1ermine the feasibility of the project and support an applica- tion for a lic:ense. Preliminary permit application procedures are described by Section 4~~10--4.34, and 4.80-4.83 of Part 4 Title 18. of the Code of Fede- l"al Regulations~ The term of the preliminary permit may not exceed three . years. Informat-ion for ,the· submittal of an application for a preliminary permit is not. extensive. It consists of an initial statement and four numbered ex- hibits, as follows: 1. Descript-Ion of the proposed project 2. Description of studies to .be conducted 3~. Statement of cost and financing 4. Maps delineati~g the project and lands affected. It desired, a preliminary permit application could be submitted at this time, based on information developed in previous studies and the project plan of study .. There woul'd be several advantages and some disadvantages to obtaining a pre- liminary permit for this project. ·The apparent advantages are: Identification of potential intervenors and some of the issues of concern -Establishment of a formal relationship with the FERC -Establishment of licensing priority for the APA. Having knowledge of the potential intervenors into the licensing process and' their issues of concern is a valuable source of information for the early phases of study •. · It allows for rrodification at an early stage affording savings of time and rooney in providing further evaluation of these points at a later date. The preliminary permit public conment process could identify these concerns~ However, the public participation and coordination programs which are: part of the study process should provide an equivalent forum for airing Of-i,s·sues·, diminishing the importance·of this advantage. . Establishing a licensing· priority for APA at the site is also of minor sig- nificance. 'The only conceivable competing developer would be a large indus- try acting in:,conjunction with a municipality in the area. Considering 8 r-·-) ·il.·. I,: ' ' v ' ... ::.~' II I I I I ,I iii '!IJ I I 'II I I •• ~1""1 1 ' I"'"' . 1 ... , . · · the·:·fact that such a developer would have to wor.k through the state to copy out. the study and o.fit.ain the permit~, the possibi 1 ity of a .. competing deve- loper•• is .. so remo,t/e as to be beyond the. ··realm. of reasonable probabi 1 ity. ~uisance applicatYons by those attempting to delay the project are not ex- . pec~ed to be a factor, as they would be dismissed by the FERC as incomplete~ Establishing a formal· r~lationship with FERC is also a minor point, since FERC ·staff .is. aware of the current study through meetings and correspon- ·dence, and will advise the project team on issues as appropriate·. Even. with. these few benefits, the small amount of effort necessary for the preliminary ,permit \'.Uuld possibly be justified. However, there is one major reason for not pursuing a preliminary permit. There is currently a case in litigation where a project opponent is attempti.ng to force the FERC to per- form a full EIS on the impacts of performing the hydropower feasibility study. The.case concerns a large pumped storage plant. Currently, the FERC regulations call for an environmental assessment only. lt is conceiveable that the· sa.me type! of court action could occur in connection with the Susitna study. .Such an action would effectively be a delaying tactic re- sulting· in additional study costs and prolonging the project implementation. In conclusion~ it appears that obtaining a preliminary permit for this pro- ject, although· a minor effort, is inadvisable when benefits and risks are weighed •. The present requirements pertaining to the 11 Application for License for Proposed Major Project" are found in Part 4, Sections 4.40-4.41 of the Regulations. The E~xisting requirements include a license document and a detailed exhibit presentation. At this time,, the FERC is in the process of revising license ap:plication requirements in the interest of improving processing time for all such app11cations. The final stage of this process, begun in 1978~ will be to establish new rules for all major projects which include construction of dams and reservoirs, a category which covers the Susitna project.. It now appears that proposed rules for this category will be published in the second or third quarter of calendar year 1980. If the proposed rules and changes are simi 1 ar to those previous 1y drafted under this progr~, changes wi 11 be primarily in the method of license document organization. Data needs will be clearly specified and duplication of data between exhibits will be eliminated. (The rules will initially be issued as proposed rules with a period for public comment. Then the proposed rules will be r.evised as appropriate and issued as final rules.) When those rules are issued, this portion of this design transmittal will be revised. Although the FERC acts under the authority bestowed by the Federal Power . Act, as amended, there are many additional laws and corresponding regula- tions with which any FERC action must comply. These acts include: . ··-: National Environment a 1 Po 1 icy Act ·-Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act - . End anger.ed Species Act -Histori ca 1 Preservation Act -Federal Watar Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972 -Wilderness Act -Wild cmd Scenic .Rivers Act -Coastal Zone Management Act -Anadromous Fish Act -Feder~l Land Policy and Management Act 9 · None of these acts, in themselves, require that a permit action be taken.. However, 'the FERC application, and specifically the exhibits to that appli- cation, have requirements that document proof of compliance with these acts. During. the preparation of the application document, it is required that co- ,· ordination be maintained with certain interested government ·agencies. For exanple, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act requires that study of the impact of the proposed project on fish and wi ldl i'fe be conducted after con- ·' sultation with and in cooperation with the· U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior and appropriate state ·and local agencies, in this case the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Evidence of this coordination ·,and :any ·cooperative agreements must be provided in the exhibits. The im- pacts of these acts is discussed in detail under the application content section. 2~2.1 -FERC Process ·The following paragraphs discuss the post-application FERC process. figure 2.1 is a diagram of the process described. After the application is filed, the FERC issues a filing number and begins a review of the documents for completeness.. If the application is. incomplete, the FERC issues a deficiency letter to the applicant. When the application is deemed complete, the public notice is issued and the public comment and interagency review pror.ess begins. Also at this time~, the environmental impact statement is initiated and FERC =staff analysis of the. project application begins. At the end of the public, conment and review period, potential intervenors ·must submit materials. The Commission wi 11 grant intervenor status as appropri- ate. , lf no intervenors submit petitions or none of the petitions is allow- ed~ the process proceed to Commission consideration at the end of staff review. If there are interven~·~s, the hearing proc·ess is init~ ated. . Although there have been some joint hearings between the FERC and State. agencies, such an arrangement should not be anticipated for Susitna. At the time of completion of the hearing process, an order' is drafted·and the licensing issue is scheduled to go before the com- mission for action. At that time, FERC can issue the license with standard and special conditions as warranted. The applicant then has 30 days to accept the conditions or file for rehearing. The license provides authority to the 1 i censee to operate and mai nt ai n the project for the licensing period of up to 50 years, under specified conditions and gives the licensee the. right to exercise power of eninent domain in acquiring project land and water rights. For a major license action, the FERC licensing time is targeted to take from 18 to 24 months. The addition of the tiearing process would add about one year to the processing time. Since a hearing can be ex- pected on a project of the magnitude of Susitna, the expected time for licensing would be 30 to 36 months. · 10 '·. ll - 1-. . c.=;\,_ . . u [ I ( ( I .I I I I I I ;I Experience with the licensing process has shown that processing cal. . frequently be delayed for extended period~ due to ·inadequate exhibif preparation or interventions. However, the FERC recently has bee. maintaining' close. control on 11 fast-tracking 11 the processing applica~ tions. There are indic.ations that· lead-time. requirements should be ·more stable in the future. : 2.2.2 -Application Content The contents of the Susitna FERC application will be governed by Se(!.;. \ tion 4.40 of the regulat-ions as currently· applicable. The docllllent will consist of a main application, which is essentially a sunma'ry document, and 21 exhibits.. The FERC will be revising these regula- tions in the near future, changing the Exhibit preparation plan pf this study. It is expected that the contents of the application will not be materially changed, however, so the designation of responsib·i-. lity and task input!i will remain relatively constant. · Table 2.1 lists the components of the application and exhibits, idE!n- tifies the responsible task or subtask and identifies any applicable criteria. 2.2.3 -Coordinatiion Requirements There are requirements.. in the acts listed in Section 2.2 that federal actions must be coordinated with resource agencies at all leve 1 s of government. In developing the regulations for implementing their ~;ro­ grams, the FERC has included requirements and evidence of coordination in several of the exhibits (for more information concerning the exhib- it contents, see Table· 2.;1). The requirements follow: ' (a) Exhibit H - A state!ment is required on the extent of consultation and cooperation with federa 1, state and local agencies !ia"t#i ng re- sponsibilities for water quality control in regard to the effect, if any, the project would have on water quality. (b) Exhibit R -The nature and extent of consultation and cooperation with the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service of the Ue- partment of the Interior (DOI), federal agencies having super"i- sion over lands and appropriate state and local agencies in dere- loping the recreation plan. (c) Exhibit S -The fish und wildlife report shall be prepared on the basis of studies made after consultation and in cooperation wfth the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service {DOI), the National Mari:ne Fisheries Service of NOAA/DOC and appropriate. state and local agencies5 (d) Exhibit V -The exhibit shall be prepared on the basis of studi1!S made after consultation with federal, state and local agencie:;, organizations and indiv·iduals having an interest in natural, hin.;. torical and scenic values of the project area. 11 ··'-~'· . ~ · ..

An appropriate level of coordination with these agencies would include discussion of study plans . to determine the pr.pjec.t's impact on water quality prior to initiating the studies _and periodic informational meeting to discuss study outputs. It should be . :noted that those agencies with interests in fish and wildlife will . al~o be interested in water quality studies. These should be coordin- ated as part of Exhibit S and W •. ,, The recreation plan, Exhibit R, should be coordinated extensively with . the Heritage Conservation. and Recreation Service (formerly the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation). The Service would' be contacted through its r:-egional office in Anchorage, at the following address: Regional Director Alaska Area Heritage Conservation and Recreation 540 West Fifth Avenue, Room 201 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 , The, ;:state agency with an interest in this aspect of the study would be the 'Division of Parks of the Department of Natural Resources. In addition, the Borough of Matanuska-Susitna Department of Planning will have local review for any recreational developtnents at the project. These federal and state agencies wi 11 have no direct regulatory -authority over recreation development. However, their input should be extremely beneficial to recreation planning, particularly i.n terms of projection of needs and potential use and stati sties; regarding current recreation a 1 use , patterns. 29 .. · 'The· 'requirement· for ·c:oordi nation ·or ·fish .· and wildlife stud.ies is · (Exhibit S) mandated by the Fish and W·i ldl ife Coord in at ion Act (FWCA). The key agencies for coordination are: State of Alaska ·· .Department of Fish and Game ( DF&G') Sebport Building Juneau, Alaska 99801 and Depat:;tmen.t of Flsh and Game .·· 333 Raspberry Road Anchorage, Alaska ·99502 Di~ector, Alaska Region Nationa.l Marine Fisheries Serv i ces, ·NOAA P.O.

Mul tnom ah Street Portland, Oregon 97232 The FWS and National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) published 11 Uni- . form Protedur.es for Compliance .. , dated May 18, 1979, in draft form which standardized procedures and interagency relationships. These proposed rules, when 'final, will become Part 410 of the SOCFR. These procedures should be used as· a guide to the program of coordination. The i nvo 1 vement of FWS and DF&G in the deve 1 opment of the P 1 an of . Study and implementing subsequent study programs is a good start towards satisfying the requirements of the Act. It is expect.ed that NMFS also wi 11 have an interest in the project due to the potent i a 1 impacts on anadromous fish species. Subpart B of this section of the CFR is reproduced in Appendix A. The essence of compliance is equal consideration of wildlife resource values with other obj.ectives in project planning. Compliance with the mandate requires the following: · · (1} (2) Con~ultation between applicants and wildlife agencies on me,asures necess·ary to conserve wildlife in project planning, construction ·and•operation -... ·Report1ng by Wildlife agencies on the effects of the project and its alternatives upon wi 1 dlife resources and on measures to con- . serve wildlife resources in connection with the project and its altern at i ves (3) Full consideration by the applicant of measures reconmended to conserve wildlife resources (4) Incorporation of justifiable conservation measures. 30 •• I I I I I 'I I I I I.

P()tentia;l applicants for FERC licenses must include in ExhibitS writ- ·_· ten_·_ ~vJdence that. _the FWCA_ compliance process has been initiated with -thef·Regional Dir~ctor (Alaska· Area Director) -and the head ·of the State .. W'i1d1'ife _agency (DF&GJ. At the· time of initiation, project (or study) ·· ·-information should ·be· provided to the wildlife agencies to allow them to ·:;·dentify potential conservation ·measures. The wildlife agencies wi]l provide the applicant a brief analysis of. potential wildlife · · reso,urces~_ .·suggested modifications or alternatives and an indication of prdject features which may be viewed as unacceptable at the ·time of 1 i cense review., The wildlife agencies will remain involved in the Project after sub- mittal of the FERC application, by reviewing the application. The wildlife agencies will at that time prepare FWCA reports including .project related effects upon wildlife resources and will identify alternat:ive means and measures to conserve wildlife resources. If the ··study has b·een· prnperly coordinated with the agencies, this report should contain no new issues which have not been addressed. Exhibit V will include considerations of the natural, historic and scenic values of the project area and measures taken to prepare and ~nhance these val ~es. · Agencies for direct coordination with cultural resource aspects of the study include: Regional Director · Alaska :Are·a ·Heritage Conservation and ''Recreation Servi.ce 540 West Fifth Avenpe Anchorage, 'Alaska ' 99501 Chief of History and Archeology Division of Parks Department of Natural Resources 619 Warehouse Avenue, Suite 210 Anchorage, Alaska 99501 The POS designates Subtask 7.06 as the primary cultural resources in- vestigation. The University of Alaska Museum will direct and perform !ilUCh of the study. All scoping activities and proposed agreements for performing· the studies should be coordinated with the above offices to · gain concurrence on the extent of work to be done as part of the feasibility study. This point is particularly important since some of the ~rk will _not be completed prior to submittal of the license docu- ment~ Although no requirement is in the regulations for coordinating the ._ study with the Office of Coastal Management (OCM)l, such would seem tc be a necessary effort. Since the FERC requires a certificate of compliance with the Coastal Management Plan (CMP) of the state, and the project could be ·located within or effect the defined coastal .zone (Section 2 ,4 .• 2) early inputs into the deci sian process by the CMP ad- ministrators would be valuable. The OCM would be most likely inter- ested in the conceptual plans, alternatives and alternative selections of the early p1 arming pr·ocess. Thus tt'ay should be. given early oppor- tunity to comri_ent formally on these study developments as decisions are made. This coordination could av11id CMP compliance problems at a later point in the licensing process. 31 .-The Environmental Report, Exhibit w,. includes subject coverage of all the special t9pics of Exhibits_ H, R, S anc;J V wi~h-. the addition of other en\'ironm-ent,al aspects of the~ project including larid use, geology and' socioeconomic considerations.

Geological impacts would gener- ;allyjnclude geological .hazards and mineral resources with fall within the purvi~w ,of Alaska· Department .of Natural Resources·, the U.S. Geo- logical Sur\fey and the Corps of Engineers. 2.2.4 -Public Meetings There is no requirement by the FERC for public meetings during license preparation.. However, public meetings which are held are considered to be. important sources .of information and should be documented in -Section 10.1 of Exh.ibit W (Environmental Report). The documentation ·should include a soJ11tlary of the general nature of public conments, public records resulting from the hearing, the manner in which -the meeting· was advertised and efforts made to seek constructive inputs. Although the general public participation system of Subtask 12.02 is a potential forum for required coordination as previously descr 1i.t.ed, the coordination· efforts de!scribed in Section 2.2 .3 should be conducted independent of the public meeting process. Subtask 12.03 includes provisions for conducting agency coordinati.on and public participation WQrkshops~ 1This will provide scheduled opportunities for contact and discus·sion. However, key study team persons should not reley solely on this part of the study to initiate and maintain coordination. ·2.2~5 -State Requirements Although the FERC is concerned that license applicants obtain all re- quirep .. permits and licenses, there are two which are essential to obta.ining the license: water quality certification and coastal zone management certification. Additionally, the applicant must document that it is in the process of perfecting necessary water rights. The cerfifications and rights will be obtained ·during the post submissior period. These actions are discussed in detail in Sections 2.3 and . 2.4. ,. 2.2"6 ~ Criteria The format and content of the FERC 1 i cense are described in Table 2 .1. · .. Certain criteri·a for the exhibits, which go beyond listing the com- . ments deserve additional mention.

Under the Act, a •one stop• permitting pro- .. 'cess.·was establfshed in order to clarify and simplify the state permitting program. Under this program, if the decision is made to proceed with the Project, or any portions thereof, a master application form is filed with the DEC, who administers the programo The master application serves as. a not ice of in- tent to the state to develop a proposed project. Upon receipt, the DEC Per- mit Information and Referral Center sends copies of the project description for the master application to all state departments and any municipality where the project is loc.ated. Agencies which claim jurisdiction over the project must respond to the per- mit center within 15 days specifying the permit required, a copy of the ap- plication form and a statement whether a hearing is required. The collec- tion of responses from all agencies is returned to the applicant for comple- tion. At this time the Permit Center will arrange a preapplication 33 . ' ~oriference where the ·app 1 i cant may meet with the · agencies who have j~risdictJon. __ Completed applications and fees are returned to the Permit Center· where they =are disbursed to the proper agencies. The Permit Center also arrang~~.for a public meeting, if one is required. Within 30 days · ·after receipt of the last application! the Permit Center will have a notice published ·ahc·e a week in, an appropriate periodical for three ·weeks. The ·-·· _publ ;:c hearing wi l1 be he1 d within 20 to 30 days after the l a.st public notice .• , ·· Publ;ic:::'·hearings are conducted for the purpose of obtaining· information for the assistance of state agencies and not as a trial or adversary proceeding. The hearing will be electronically recorded with transcribed copies made ·available to agencies upon request. Upon completion of the hearing, a date ~will be eStablished by Which all state agencies will forward final decisions on applications,within their jurisdiction. The date will be within 90 days of c()mpletion. of the heari·ng. · · Provi~ions are included in the act for an appeals process for a person aggrieved by a fi.nal decision. A notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days of transmittal of the decision. If a reasonable issue of fact or law is'rouna, a hearing officer will be provided for an_adjudicatory hearing. Appeals shall be he·ard jointly by the commissioners of each agency. The comnlssioner of· each agency shall decide on the portion of the appeal which involves his agency. A person aggrieved by the appeals decision may appeal tQ ~he_ superior cour~. · · P'rior to su~mission of the completed master application, the local govern- ment (in this case M.atanuska-Susitna Borough) must provide a certification that the project is in compliance with the local government statutes and regulations regarding the project. The maximum time from the· submittal of the completed applications to the permit issuance is about six months~ as established by law. Including one month for completing application forms~ the total time from filing the Mas- ter Application to permit issuance is eight months. A diagram of the pro- cess is shown in Figure 2.2. A list of the state permits which are foreseen for prpject implementation is provided ·in Table 2.2.

T~e issues· surrounding ·wat~r use, appropriation, supply and quality are sub- _ject, to regulation· at both s~ate and federal levels. Although for all .. · practical purposes, water quality issues cannot be separated· ·from quantity •' . and appropriation issues, those permits dealing strictly with' quality are covered in ~he following subsection. The three act ions discussed in this · section·;will b~ critica] to project implementation, since, as in the FERC · ·· · prdces~, the ,-project .wi ll.be considered in its entirety rather than from the ·point qf view ofone particular aspect. The Coastal Zone Management Program and the Water Rights Permit are administered by the State. A permit for , dams! dikes. and discharges into navigable waters of the United States is a9mirti.stered ·by the Corps of Engineers. · 2.4.1 ~·Corps of Enginee·rs Permits The Corps permitting program is authorized by Sections 9 and 10 of the Rlvers and .Harbors Acts· of 1899 and Section 404 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (P .L. 92-500). Regulations covering the Corps· permitting· program are found in Title 33· of the Code of .Federal Regulations, Part 320 through 329. Activities requir- ing permits fall typically under three categories: (1.}' Dams and dikes in navigable waters of the United States (2} Str~ctures or work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States (3) Discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the United States The Project wi 11 come under more than one of these areas of juri sdic- . tion, but only one permit action is required. All projects within the State of Alaska lie within the jurisdiction of the Alaska District Engineer. Acting under the authority delegated by the Secretary of the Army, he may issue a permit authorizing the work unless it is found to have an adverse impact on the pub 1 ic interest. The public interest ts deter·mined by .a proposal's consistency with . state plans and interests, by its effect on navigation, fish and wild- life, water quality, economics, conservation, aesthetics, recreation, water supply, flood damage prevention, impacts on the ecosystem and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. The Corps jurisdiction within the permitting program is defined as the nwaters of· the United States 11 which includes isolated wetlands and lakes~ intermittent streams and other U.S. waters which could affect i.nterstate coll11lerce. Generally, the Co.rps does not regulate activity in headwater streams with average flow less than 5 cfs. Thus, the actual navigability of the Susitna River at potential impoundment sites is not a jurisdictional issue since flow is greater than 5 cfs. 37 . : . ' At. this t.irne~ the Corps is ·in the process ofrul~·-making to establish nationwide permits which could potentially exempt··the· Susitna project from· the. permit since it would be regulated by other federal permit- .· .ting actions such as the.

It · ,;.s· suggested that p~ior-'to submission of an application, a meeting be . held with the Corps to discuss its specific contents whereupon a com- plete application would be submitte~ tQ the Corp.s District office. Upon receipt Qf. the application, . the District assig·ns a ni.Jmber and ·· r.eview for completeness. When all information is received :and the applitation is considered· complete, a public notice is issued. All canments relating to matters of special expertise of another agency, will be referred to that agency by the District. The applicant will be given the opportunity to rebut all adverse conments~ ... ,,~fter.the public comnent period, the District Engineer will determine the need. for. an Env.ironmental Impact Statement, b.ased on an environ- mental assessment. The Corps will prepare, an EIS only if it cons·:iders . itself the lead .federal agency (highly .unlikely for this. project since FERC would probably assume the lead) ... It is expecte,d that the Corps wfll withhold permit approval until the federal EIS is final. The . Di stri.ct. Engineer· also wi 11 deterroi ne the need for a pub 1 i c hearing on the application. If a hearing is needed, it possibly could be held . .simtJ1taneous1y with the joint hearing of the state agencies. Schedul- ing of the sfate and Corps actions makes this unlikely. · When all actions are compl.eted, the District Engineer prepares the Finding of Fact and makes the final decision .as whether to grant or deny the permit. The draft permit is sent to the applicant for ac- .. ceptaoce,. signature and submission of fees .. Prior to permit issuance, the District Engineer requires evidence of State Water Quality Certif- ication and the Coastal Zone Management Certificate of Consistency. lhe application for the Corps· permit consists of a two-page applica- tion (attached in .Appendix 1) and a set of detailed drawings (8 11 x . . 10 1/2", reproducible) describing the project. Information to be fur~ nished by the applicant includes .the following: f ·~ -detailed description of the prop.osed activities, including the pur- . pose, use, type, of structures., facilities for· handling waste and the type 9 composition and quantity of dredged or fill material ~ names, and addr:esses of all adjoining property owners who have a di- rect interest or could be affected by the project ... location of the facility • a list and status of all ·approvals ·and certificates required by · ot(her f~dera1, state, and local government agencies. 38 ,_ ... - .·1: ·I.

These drawings will be reviewed by the Corps District personnel for safety and adequacy of the strue- . ture. The safety. approval wi 11 be issued as part of the permit. It is expected that the Corps will review plans identical to those sub- mitted as Exhibit L of the FERC application. It is possible that the Corps will reserve the ~ight to review final plans and specification drawings after detailed design is completed. 2 ... 4.2 -Coastal Zone Management Program (CMP) ·The Coastal Zone Management Act was signed into law on October 27, 197.2. The Act; which was substantially amended in 1976, stated a national interest in protection and development of the Coastal Zone of U.s.. by providing assistance and encouragement to coastal states to develop and implement programs for managing their coastal areas. In response to these laws and the Alaska Coastal Management Act· of 1977, .. the St_ate of Alaska Coastal Management Program (CMP) was developed. The program document was published jointly with ·the final environmen- tal; impact statement (FEIS) published on the action on May 30, 1979. In order. to receive federal licenses and permits, a project must oe reviewed ,for" consistency with CMP guidelines. This applies to both the FERC and Corps permits. When an application is filed with the FERC, a certification of compliance with the Alaska CMP must be in- cluded. At the same time, a copy of the certification with necessary ·data on the development should be filed with the state. The State will review the activity and initiate a· public notice and hearing as necessary. Within six months from the receipt of con$t~tency certifi- cation and required information~ the state will notify. the federal agency and applicant whether the state concurs or objects to a consi s- tency certification. The CMP is administered in Alaska by the Office of Coastal Management, Division of Policy and Development and Planning (OPDP), Office of the GQvernor. The CPM certification procedure is not included within the Alaska Master application program. Federal regulations covering the program are 15 CFR 930, 11 Federal consistency with Approved Coastal Management Programs .11 State regulations pertaining to the potential Susitna project are 6AftC 80.070 Energy Facilities and 6AAC 80.130 Habitats.. . The proposed Devi 1 Canyon dam would be within the Coastal Zone bound- aries even though it is about 100 miles upstream of the mouth of the Susitna River on. Cook Inlet. Thus, the Project will be subject to consistency with the CMP. ·f.! •• ..:, ... , .;.,.,..itO. f""-+&...e. .o ................. .t:a,...; 11·t,· e" p1 ""n· ... ,.

There ate five general energy faci 1 ity planning guide 1 i nes which have been app!"oved by the Alaska Coastal Policy Council and the Legis-lature (6AAC.80.070): __ (1) (2) ··- Optimum Location -site facilities to minimize adverse environ- mental~"~---3nd social effects while satisfying· ·'industrial requirements · Compatibility.-site faciliti~s to be compatible with existing and subsequent adjacent uses and projected community needs -(3) Consolidation-consolidate facilities (4) Concurrent Use -consider the concurrent use of facilities for social or economic reasons (5) Cooperation -seek to cooperate .with land owners, developers, and federal agencies in the development of facilities. In addition, ~here are eleven general planning siting criteria which . are listed-in the CMP sunmary in Appendix B. Several of the criteria are ·relevant to projects along the coastline which could .affett navi- ation. It appears that the planning process for the Susitna project as described in the POS is compatible with the CMP process. Also Appendix B lists the information required with the submittal of proposals for consistency evaluation. The Exhibit W prepared for the FERG application should adequately cover the required information and be in a format usable by the CMP evaluators. Thus, copies of that document rather than a separate document, should be submitted to sat- ; sfy the data requirement. 2.4.3 -Water Rights Securing the water rights for the Susitna project will be one of the key regulatory milestones. Unlike several of the other milestones, there is little additional preparatory work to be done in project planning to secure those rights, other than to establish the prelimi- nary project design. Although confirmatory research under Task 10 of the study wi 11 be done, it. appears at this time that the rights to the Susitna River water are unsecur·ed. Thus, pursuit of water rights would be a two- stage process.

Thus, land .agreements to the prQject should be made for ·the dani · .. and reservoir areas ,:prior to the application submittal. The exception is for fede- " ral lands, which will be made available by the FERC license~ The oth~r requirem·ent-'is. the approval of the dam(s) structure. Since the permit to construct a dam must be obtained along. with water . rights:, ·the application cannot be submitted until the dam: preliminary ··plans are ready for submission. These will be completed at a time nearer to the end of the feasibility study during preparation of the FERC application Exhibit L. The ONR, accordi.ng to statute, uses the following four criteria for determin.ing whether to issue a permit. (l) Rights of a prior appropriator (2) . Adequacy of the proposed means of diversion · ( 3). Benefits of proposed use of water .(4) Public.interest. In determining the public interest, many aspects of the project arid the effects of the a;Jpropri ation are considered.

That action is the water qu~ltty certification. It is .. a requirement of both the Corps of Engineers and _the FERC that (\the state certification be issued prior to gr.anting of the federal permits. The certification requirement was established by Section 401. of Public Law 92-500, the Federal Water Poll uti an Control Act .Amendments ·~of 1972.. Regulations governing the certification process .. are referenced 'ISAAC 15 .. 130-180. Application is made for the certificate by submitting to the DEC a letter requesting certification which should be accompanied by a copy of the permit applic.ation to the federal agency, in this case,J the FERC license applica- tion. This submission.will take place along with the other state submis- sions in the· Master Application process. The certification ·;s valid for a period of five years, thus, it may need renew a 1 prior to operation of the dam when the NPDES permit is concluded. This recertification will be dependent on timing. Renewal should not be a major problem,· However, certifications obtained relative to construction of . a facility are valid for additional federal permits and licenses required . _for operation of the faciliyt within the time limitation. A second set, of permit actions will be required if discharges are planned in conjunction :cwith wastewater handling sy~ter.::s. These systems would be asso- ciated with wastewater from constructi::~~~ camps, recreation and operating faci 1 ities at the project. Should non:.,a·• scharge wastewater treatment sys- tems be designed {such as a septic system), these permits may not be needed. · On the federal level, ·a permit may be required under the Environmental Pro- tection Agency•s (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge :Elimfnation System (NPDES) ~ The purpose of this system is to prevent !water pollution by 44 ; .... : ..• J! .. !

These three permit pr,?cesses ·,.would b.e follow~d· under the. master app.~ication process. ·Th~ purpose. of the "Plan Review for Water and Sewer .. is to provide minimum standards for wastewater treatment faci 1 ities and to assure compli ltnce with Alaska water quality and drinking water standards. In order to initiate the Plan Review, a detailed report including the design plans certified by a ·:r~gi~tered professional Alaskan engineer must be-submitted to the DEC. The plar.s are review~d. and approved, jf appropriate, within 30 days. There are four. r~feren~es cited as appropriate for design criteria by the DEC; these are listed in the permit sunmar~y of Appendix B. Th~ Wastewater Dispos(!l permit is similar to the EPA-NPOES permit. Where the NPDES permit is .required· for project service facilities, the DEC will .adopt. i~ as the required state permit. The process for reviewing the appli- cation is simi 1 ar to that for NPDES. The Solid Waste Disposal permit is to control or eliminate the detrimental qealth.,. e.nvi.ronmental .and nuisance efforts of improper solid waste disposal practices. This .. permit will likely be required for project construction and servi.ce· facilitfes. The application includes detailed plans and specifica- tions for. the· faci.lity,·. certification of compliance with local ordiances, and a report on the characteristics of the waste to be processed. : ' 2.6 -land Use The subject of regulatory procedures for land use is very complex since it involves lands which are at this time somewhat in regard to need and owner- ship which has been in a state of flux for many years.

The license also grants the right of eminent domain for ac- , , quisition of ·non~Federal lands~ althou.gh this right presumedly is duplicative of the APA•s statutary authority. The lack of private lands . will probably not require the exerci se of the eminent domain ,judtcfal process. . · The lands needed for the transmission corridor are of a different nature. It can be expected that right ... of-way permits will be needed froiTI the BLM and the Alaska DNR. Federal 1 ands needed as part of the ;,: transmission facilities included in the FERC. license application will need rto further permit. Other transmission line right-of-ways require application. The regulations covering power transmission right-of- ways are found in 43CFR Part 2850. These rules are subject to change · 'dUeto the Federal Land Policy Management Act. There is no standard a,pplicatfon form for this action; thus, ·applicants are encouraged to coordinate with BLM. in preparation of the application. ·Several additional permits could be required, depending upon the selected transm·lssion corridor. One possible route could parallel or share right-of-way with existing bequests of the Alaska Railroad. The railroad is ooministered by an agency of the same name, part of the U~. S. Department of Transportation. There is no standard form for application or hearing process but there are several specifications and st~ndards for compliance. Should A 1 ask a Railroad right-of-way be ·needed as part of the project licensed by FERC, there would be a ques- tion whether the FERC 1 icense constitutes allowance for usage of the land or a separate permit action is needed. ·" Other potential land use permits which are not currently expected to .be required are.theU.

At. present, there are: two building permit reviews at the state level and one at· the fed.eral level. · : .. '\·, 2.9.1 -oan 'Safetr .. The·:most sign-ificant review of. the project will take place under the ··permit to construct a dam issued by the .DNR. The. permit is required by the DNR ·in conjunction· with the water rights permit.

There are apparently no public hearings associated with the permit • . Tiie p~rmit .. application (i.ncluded in· ·Appendix B) requires general ~1 nformation about the dQI11 and.,the site ..

The plans ·will include provisions for supervision by a registered pro- fessional engineer during the period of construction. Additionally~ the DNR wi 11 determine an inspel-:tion program of the project to take p_l ace throughout the construct ion process. The data requirements for this state review. appear to be more detailed that those· for E·xhibit' L (General Design) of the FERC application. Thus~ the information included in the Power Development Report of Sub- task 6 .. 26 will be the most appropriate source for inclusion of a11 of this information. Since the dam construction pennit is a key requ1rement to securing the water rights for the project~ preliminary discussions should be held with the· DNR ,staff to determine the level of detai'l needed in the dam design data for ·review. These discussions should begin after alterna- tives for developnent are selected. Should the feasibi 1 ity level · design ( adeqt.tate for FERC) be 'considered insufficient to issue a con= · stru~tion permit~ the water· rights permit ~u1d also be held up unti 1 sufficiently detailed design was completed and approved. This could cause a construction. Coordination with ONR may resolve the problem by assuring that the feasibi 1 ity level of design includes adequate de- tail. Subsequent review of advanced project designs may be expectea as a permit condition. . 2.9.2 -Building Check The Department of Public Safety (DPS) will perform a review of the ,. · buildings (other than single family residences) associated with the project to insure compliance with state fire safety regulations. , There are building no permits issued by DPS; rather, the plans are ap- <· proved or disapproved for occ!,!pancy or use. To initiate review, plans and specification must be taken or mailed to the regional office of the DPS Division/Fire Protection.

Although .. the hydroelectric. generators at the project would not be powered by · these fuels,· small co.nstruction and standby untts, probably diesel .·engines combustion turbines, will. The limitation on unit size for applicabili.ty of the prohibitions .is a fuel-burning capacity of 250 ·million Btu. per hour. This would equate roughly to a plant in the 20:...30 MW range, larger than would be expected for the project. Assum- inQ, this to be the case, the prohibitions \\Ould not be applicable to th~ project. · · 2.10.~· -State Permits The following list of permits and regulations comprise those which may appear to be app 1 i cab 1 e but, in fact, wi 11 either not be required <;>r would be proc·ured by a contractor with. responsibility for the job.

It is· estimated th·at this-process v.uuld take approximately 40 months •:·''C) fronL,a~ pos1fi've decision to proceed (and immediate submission of the FERC · · · licEmse) to JOitfatiori of construction. To achieve this schedule~ action ~L 'WOuld ·have to be taken to meet with regulatory agenci es• and to: ·prepare ·· · .. '·applications prior to a final .decision· to proceed. This action· would take . , · plac'e ln the final six months of the study schedu1~ and would be in. addition to· the ·fi'nar preparati·on of the FERC application. Prepar'ation of this sche- dule w.as: based upon· both legally established lead times and advice from staff representatives of the specific agencies. The critical path of the schedule is the FERC application. New procedures are being imp·lemented by the FERC to hold the processing time for major applications to 18 to 24 months. This timing would not include a hearing process'~ which. can be expected in a major action such as the Susitna pro- ject. The hearing process would add approximately one year to the process to give a total of 30-36 months. Due to the magnitude of the project the longer range of time could be expected. An additional four months of final state and federal permitting would extend past the approval of the FERC license to extend the total licensing time to 40 months. Two separate Master Application submissions are included in the licensing schedule. The initial submission, along with the numerous submissions at month zero~ would be for those permits having a direct effect on the ulti- mate project. These would include: -Coastal Zone Management Certificate of Consistency -Water Rights Permit -Water Quality Certificate -Right-of-Way Easements (and other Land Use Permits as identified) ... Highway Encroachment Permits -Anadromous Fish Protection Permits -Dam Safety Permit A second submission to the state would take place at a later date, in antic- ipation of construction initiation. These permits would be held off to await more planning on construction camps and methods, incidental waste plans and other spec1fics of the detailed design. The additional permits relative to the construction process ~.uuld include resubmission of severai of the foregoing plans, plus the following: -Fire and Safety Plans Check (buildings) -Burning Permits . -Water and Sewer Plan Review. At this later date, the NPDES permit (EPA) would also be pursued, for point sources orginating from both construction and the related project features. It is apparent t!:at the most critical issues concerning the project will be addr·essed during the FERC licensing process, particularly in light of its 55 · · '' status of •lead agency• in developing the federal EIS. ··It should b~ noted . ~hat the Corps of Engineers process fs scheduled for a longer period of time tllan ·is usually taken, to await development of the EIS by the FERC. . . ~ L~~·;.~,:~--~,_-· ::> ...

An applicant is.required to submit a completed application, Form 18-106. which is provid- . ed ~QY DEC, in duplicate with de5\!!:iptions of the process of. treatment used and the dis- . posal site~ .Specific· information .on operations is detailed in the permit application. Any · additional data on the environment and the facility may be required if requested by the department. Instructions for filling out the "Wastewater Disposal Permit Application" are also included with the application form. No applicatipnfee is required .. t) Applications are to be submitted 60 days prior to the C:a~;nmencE!ment of operations. Upon receipt .of the application: .DEC will .issue a public notice in two consecutive issues of a new5paper in 'the _area of the proposed ac;tivities. Public comments are accepted up to 30 qays after the final public notice. Public hearings are not necessary but they .may be held if demanded by .public interest. Notification of the proposed discharge must be given to the .Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Department of Health and Social Services, Department of Commerce and Ec.onomic Development, a[ld Department .of Natural Re- . sour:ces ior their review and comment • . . . DEC may require that industrial liquid wastes or other wastes which are discharged into public sewerage system o; treatment works be treated and equalized. to prevent overloading of damaging effects upon the public sewerage systems. The permit mav. be issued for a pericd not to. exceed five y~rs. Renewal of the permit must be on ·request by the permittee 30 days prior to the pen nit expiration. Wastewater Disposal Permit renewal appljcations must be submitted in the same manner as an initial application. No person ma·1 deposit the sludge from septic tanks, holding tanks, cesspools, privies, sewerage treatment works~ water treatment works, industrial or commercial facilities, or sludges from other wastes to the waters or land without 2 Solid Waste Disposal Permit from DEC. Sludge may otherwise be disposed of to a properly permitted facility designed to handle solid waste. Since. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency must issue the National Pollutant Dis- charge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for wastewater discharge to surface waters, in .those cases the State waives the procedural requirements for issuing a State permit and adopts the NPDES permit .as the r;~quired State permit. • • f'" : ~ B-47 ·DEC } __ · . .;_ .· ", . _; ' • .

DESCR!PTtON Bef.ore starting construction, plans and specifications in regard to area, height, fire ex- tinguishing systems, fire alarm systems, fire resistive ·construction, electrical S'/Stems, me- chanical systems and number, size, type, location and marking of exits for all "buildings" must be submitted to the State Fire Marshal, Department of Public Safety, for examination and approval. · The term ''building•• means a structure, installation, facility, or edifice erected or in the process of being erected and which is used or intended for use as a commercial, industrial; business, institutional or other public building or residential building containing fa~1r or more dwalling units. ' REQUIREMENTS For occupancy use approval, buildings must be constructed in conformance with State fire .,~ . safety rE!QUiations. The Department of Public Safety does not issue building permits; it only 'l approves or disapproves plans and/or occupancy use. There are no·fees for the plan check, nor are public hearings and notices required. Plans and specifications may be taken or mailed to the regional office of the Division of Fire Prevention jn the region in which the building is to be constructed or the plans may be mailed tothe Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention, State Fire Marshal, in Anchor(lge. There are no specified application forms to be filed in order to request a Life and Fire Safety Plan Check. Note: Plan checking within the Municipality of Anchorage and the City of Fairbanks has Peen deferred by the State Fire Marshal to the local authorities .. Plans and specifications for construction within those municipalities should be taken to the Building OfficiaL However, plans and' specifications for health care facilities (hospitals; nursing homes, etc.), regardless of area~ should be taken cr sent to the Division oi Fire Prevention as a Life and Fire Safety Plan Check may ba required by the State Fire Marshal.
