Methods of Land Acquisition: The CIRI Villages and CIRI has indicated to" the Alaska Power Authority its preferences om land acquisition. Thesepreferences are: A. Land Leases B.. Land Exchanges . C. Right of Ways . D. Easements E. Purchases :(Note: The Alaska Power Authority does have condemnation powers. though it has been noted that the Power Authority and the CIRl natives do not desire this .method,) The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has .indicated to the Alaska Power Authority that the lands needed for the impoundment, dams and support structures should be owned and controlled by the Alaska Power Authority, all other lands. can be leased or obtained through rights. of ways, easements. or other negotiated methods .• This will require frolll the Alaska Power Authority and the Depart- ment of Natural Resources their intent or what is acceptable and a list of land that theState is willing to exchange and likewise, a list of land identified by the Native Corporations of what they are interested in. 4. Amount of Land and Locations of Land Needed The Native Corporations cannot properly present any kind ofposi~ tion o.r planning until all lands have been identified for acquisi- tion: A) Impoundment B) Dams · C) Support Structures Dams D) Recreatton E) Village and Campsites F) Roads G) Transmission Corridors ·H) Borrow Sites (Sand, Gravel, Stone, etc.) Page 6 I) · · Other·Land Needs .. This stage should be identified as soon as possible because of severe delays in land acquisition could incur. and delay·project time frames. 5. . Conveyance of Lands: The Alaska Power Authority, Department of Natural Resources and the Cook Inlet Region, .Inc;. should Jointly inform the Bureau of Land . · r~anagement of ·the. importance to settle the final interim conveyance· of lands in the Talkeetna mountains and .. to establish a· higher priority for this process due to theFERC application procedure and· timeliness of the FERC License p~ocess to begin in February, 1983. 6. . Reconveyance .of CIRI lands: This is an extremely important process. First, this would identify the village corporations who:will be the.surface land owners . . Secondly, this than would unquestionably identify the .final parties the Alaska Power Authority has to negotiate with. · This process would also identify the reconveyance method at this. time know as Method 11 Bn. · · . . -.

Reference FERC Guidelines B •. Some impacts are: · 1. Restrictions to access because of construction 2. Damage to properties not yet· identified getting tO. borrow sites, etc. 3. Trespassinfringements • . ' B. TimeFrame Land Negotiations: The Alaska Power Authority needs tO identify a time frame for negotiations to be in'line with the eonstruction start up date. This time frame should include enough time for the Native Land owners to review the process of how land. will be·acquired, methods of appraisal· an,d a review of the appraisal and to identify mitigat- ing issues. for final negotiations for the land to be acquired. Page 7 I . I l l J j l ! 9. Management and Control Procedures: The Alaska Power Authority~ Department of Natural Resources, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, State Parks, Federal Fish and Wildlife ~nd other agencies will nee~ tti sit down and negotiate land re- strictions identified for multiple uses affecting the Native lands. The CIRI Native Corporations have identified some steps that they .see, but is not limited to these: A. No ATV use B. No.Rockhounding C. Trespass D. Permit use for hunting and fishing E. Artifact removal prohibited Other restrictions may be identified later and throughout the project constr~ctio~ period of the two dam projects. The Federal and State agencies may impose some controls and these controls should be reviewed by the Native Land Owners if any of these controls impact native lands as the natives will have even- tually patent to over 300 square miles of land surrounding the project boundaries. 10. Recreational Development and Management: FERC has indicated that recreational development and management could be contracted out and lands could be leased from the native corporations. Cost trade.offs could be negotiated here for the best interest of the State and the Native Corporations. EDAW has indicated as a mitigating measure that the Alaska Power Authority should provide a recreational planner for the native corporations. It is unquestionable that the future impacts to the native land ow~ers for recreation demands will be on their lands primarily on the south side of the Susitna River if the two dam projects go ahead. Future recreational demands will require monitoring by the State and the Native Corporations from the beginning of construction and well beyond construction of the two dams projects as population changes and land uses change in the railbelt region. 11. Archaeological Properties: There is no question that where possible the Alaska Power Authority will avoid any disturbance to these sites and will give them all the protection that the laws allow. Page 8 I B~t when disturbance is necessary, the na~ive lands disturbed and archaeological properties removed must re9uire the approval of the native corporations to remove them and the native corporations must be given a list of what has been removed and a legal description of I where the removal took place. The State ~hen must hold these artifacts in a trust status in behalf of that native corporation, and must return these items upon their request. There is no question that on-going ar~haeJlogical studies will be necessary and that the Alaska Power Autho11 ity should inform the agen~y or agencies doing th~se studies of these.conditions. Both Federal and State statutes protect I~dian owned sites and ANCSA and ANILCA has provisions relating ~o archaeological, cul- tural, historical and cemetery sites owne~ and controlled by Native Corporations. . . Before any sites are proposed for the Natilonal Register of Histor- ical Places on -native owned lands, the Al~ska Power Authority should direct its contractors to seek a 1~1 tter of no objection from the Native Landowners. I I 12. Method cif Land Appraisals: 1 Land Field Services, an Alaskarn firm expe~ienced in land title systems, acquisition of lands and other l~lnd procedures with an experience tract record negotiating native!· lands9 will be the finn to identify, appraise, etc., -project lands for Susitna. CIRI and its v~llage corporations will alJ 1 o review their process of apprais~ls to tompare with Land Field Servites for final nego- tiations. : I 13. Monitoring during Design and Construction:! 14. The Native Corporations will want to contihue the monitoring of the· project through completion to protect thei 11r interest as adjacent land owners. I This can be accomplished through the Alaskla Power Authority 1 s present system of the Native Inspector andl other measures such as site located monitors to assist the Inspec~or for land controls, recreational development, archaeological P'lrotection and trespass, etc. Native Agreement: I I I I The Alaska Power Authority will need to ambnd its agreement at !:::~m!:~~u~~t!~et::'J~~dp:::~i:;:i:!1 ~.:~~=:~!{ ~:::i~:.: !~=~~=:- ed.

Summary: . ··In sLm:unary, it ;,s the author 1 s. suggestion that a. land steering committee be created to cover all aspects of the land use areas. It is also suggested that the Ahtna Corporation andthe CIRI . Corporation and its village Corporations be identified. and kept in- vo 1 ved, same as an agency wou 1 d provide. input and concensus. Land use and ·ownership is a key to the project 1 s success if the above-fourteen items and probably others that are or will. be identified are not solved, it could inv.olve co~tly delays which no one wants nor carr the. project afford. · · The. Bureau of Land Management will have to be signatory to the Native Agreement on those lands not yet conveyed to the Natives that have been selected by ~he CIRI Native Corporations.

Page 10 j, LAND GEOGRAPHICAL COMPARISONS It is extremely difficult to access impacts on a study area that is as large in square miles than some states in the Lower 48 states. It is further complicated by the fact that in the near vicinity of the two dam project and going within ten square miles in any direction or 100 square miles of the two dams, no resident populations of humans exist. Within 2,000 square miles of the study area, less than 50 people actually reside in the area. Within 6,000 square miles of the study area, less than 2,000 people actually reside in the area. This project will probably go down in history as impacting one of the largest single privately owned land owners in the United States. Approximately 323 square miles of land in and adjacent to the project boundary is or will be owned by the Cook Inlet Region Corpo= ration and its affiliated villages (Alaska Natives Indian Lands). Almost five times the size of the District of Columbia containing no physical human population as far as residents. In the District of Columbia comprises a population approximately one (1} million inhabitants. By contrast, 1/3 of the study area approximately the size of the State of Delaware and the District of Columbia combined contains only 50 inhabitants to the almost two (2) million inhabitants of the two compar= isons. If you were to combine Delaware, District of Columbia, Connecticut and Rhode Island which has a combined population of close to six (6) ~illion inhabitanti to the total project study area of 2,000 inhabi- tants, you can virtually conceive the vastness of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project and fully understand the complexities of address- ing land, social, economic impacts for such a small population in such a large area of land. There is no question that the two dams, transmission lines, roads, recreation sites and other project uses of the land will be small in total comparison of the overall land uses in the area. The cost for studies to address land ownership, social, economical and environmental impacts are staggering when comp~ring this to the resident populations of the study area though it must be accomplished. In summation, this comparison should help those individuals to better analyze and compare the complexities of this project to projects in the Lower 48 states.

A 1 as ka Power Authority Nl.SKA POWER .AUTHORITY 334 West Fifth Avenue. · Anchorage, A 1 ask a 99501 Dear Mr. Yould: We have reviewed the proposed Susitna Project recreatian plan as presented in. the draft license application Exhibit E and have the following comments. Cultural resource mana,gentent i·ssue comments were . .addressed previously in the December 3, 1982, letter from our archeologist. Dr~. Floyd Sharrock . . The recreation plan appears to be well-conceived •.. A diversity of recreation resource opportunities are plarmed w.ith facility development in stages whi.ch · wi11.permit future modifica:tion. where. it is appropriate.· The plan also reflects excellent coordination between its, authors and appropriate public agencies and. theprivate sector. · We support the following. rec.ommendations, many of which were shared with the · EDAW, Inc. , represeritati ves at the December 1, 1982, workshops for recreation and aesthetics. 1. Before constructi.on begins, existing river conditions .from upstream of the project(perhaps the confluence of the Tyone and Susitna Rivers) to Gold Creek should be recorded on film~ . A high quality motion picture with narrative describing preconstruction resource conditions could be an effective interpretive tool for the visitor center(s). A permanent film record of the Devil Canyon whitewater is especially important. A film record of the project construction process and the project in operation, including a description of the recreation opportunities, should also.be made and perhaps tombined with the preconstruction film for use at the visitor center(s). 2. If nonnal operation of the Watana Dam will m1n1mTze the danger now asso- ciated with kayaking the unregulated Devil Canyon ~hitewater, consideration should be given to providing public access to the Su.sitna River below the damprior to the completion and operation of the Devil Canyon Dam. 3. Consideration .should be given to providing public access from the project transportation corridor to Portage Creek for fishing and/or kayaking. 2 4. Appropri'ate .day use and/or overnight facilities should be considered. for Gold Creek. These facilities could. accommodate: river users coming out of the project,. backpackers who enter the. project area vi a the Devil Canyon Dam construction right-of-way, and other·r~creationists using the Alaska Railroad who wish to lay over in the Gold.Creek area. 5. · . The,·status of the Stephan Lake.,.Prairie Creek corridor is presented on pages E-7-83, 84 as a lower priority resource area. The priority should be elevated to Phase One implementation as. negotiations with Cook Inlet · ·Region, Incorporated, and/or .the village corporations coul(j be lengthy. Public access to the Talkeetna River (a potential State Recreation River) via the Stephan Lake-Prairie Creek corridor. is an important issue that needs to be resolved early so that public use may continue during project construction • . There is an incorrect statement 1n paragraph 6, page E-7-15, that should be revised .. The text i.ncorrectly states that the Susitna River has been studied .. for potential inclusion in the N~tional Wild and Scenic Rivers System. A study and evaluation .under the authority of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has never been undertaken. · · · · . . . RecentlY it came to o~r attention .that. the electrical. transmfssion,corridor betwee~ the!WatanaDam and Gold Creek will now be relocated closerto the transportation corri dar to· faci 1 i tate>maintenance. We trust. that careful atte.ntion will be giVen to the development of appropriate mitigation measures to safeguard, as much as possibles the scenic values assoCiated with the corridor. My staff looks forward to continued involVement with the project and is avail- able to answer anY. questions you may have concerning the above recommendations.

This disposal wiU involve the issuance of coal prospecting permits (CPP) from existing applications for state land within the S~Usitna Basin considered to have low or unknown potential for commercial coaA resources. · The disposal is· proposed to occur in December 1982. The disposal. area is north of Cook Inlet~ northwest of Anchorage including land north to DenaH State Park and as far south as the Beluga River. Most applications are for land west of. the Parks Highway in Townships RB-26 North, Ranges 4=!0 West, Seward Meridian. More than 90 percent of .the appllications are for aand within ·the · Matanusl<a-Susitna Borough, with the remainder for land within the Kenai Peninsula Borough. Permittees wiU acquire the right to prospect for coal on the area covered by the . permit, for e term of two years. The opportunity tor one two-year extension exists, if the permittee can demonstrate that diHqent explloration is being performed. AH activities under CPPs and coall leases wm be subject to· the Alaska Surface Coal Mining Contrail and Reclamation Act. If the permittee counplies with aU terms of the permit, observes app.licat?le statutes and regulations, discov.ers commercial quantities of coal and submits a satisfactory mining plan9 he is entitled to convert the prospecting permit to a non<>Competitive coal lease for that area of the permit which contains coal.· The Department of Naturall Resources wiU review 384. existing appl.ications for CPPs, which cover app.roximatelly 920~001l acres. '··,Applications· may reqll.llest up to 5,120 acres each. Individual permits may be issued for less than.their entire application area, if a feasiblle coall management unit can be maintained. The foUowiog land· wiH not be available for issuance of CPPs: land under prior or existing CPPs; coallleases; land desiqnatod for competitive disposal of coal resources; areas under conflicting land use classifications; and, land determined to have other values higher than the potential for coal development. CPP issuance wiU also be prohibited on land with existing or potentiall for high density settlement. Any CPP applications existing within these identified areas will be denied. Surface entry for · exploration activities will be restricted on portions of CPPs where third-party interests that may be converted to fee-ownership of the surface estate exist. -. Coal Prospecting Permits will not be issued until forme~! public notice is issued to solicit comments and a final written findinq is made by the Director of the Division of Minerals and Energy Management under AS 38.05.035 that issuance of those permits will best serve the interests of the State of Alaska. The final finding of best interest will consider socio-economic and environmental concerns from the public, as well as from the federal, state, and local agencies. The finding will provide an analysis of the potential effects of this disposal and the rneans by which negative impacts will be mitigated. !_·: SUSITNA BASIN COAL PROSPECTING PERMiT APPLICATION AREA STATE OF ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF MINERALS AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT EX!STi NG APPUCAT!OR'if AREA I ''•f!?Ji SCALE~ I: 1,014,000 NOTE t.o rECISIOH Hll$ vn !l£EH MAO£ Qi'j WU/I:THE~ THit STAT!!: Wll ~·lfOI 0 Tlli.•OIS" PO::III..TIIF !HAll': 1:1 1~ VOf( 11«'Ct ~:I llf" GAT t<t IUifQ ENV1A0Niii(~TAI.. 1'1 II:COHOIIolllC li'II'()A,'<!II fiO!If ON WHICH fO , PA~E A l•fl:;t:,:lf)H I I I' I ....: ) \'· ,I r ' I I I I l Access Road/Bridges Cons tt·uct ion Ca1np ·Village Site Site Construction Roads Contractor!s Work Areas Including Batching and· Processing Plant Intakes Service Spil h1ay Emergency Spillway Saddle Dam DEVIL CANYON -----·- J\ct ibn Construct Trans-Dam Link Construction Initiation .

Criteria of Evaluation The quality of significance in American history, architecture, archeology, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and. association, . and: (AI that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to ·the broad· patterns of our history; or tBI that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or (Cl that embody the distinctive characteristics of. a type, period, or method of construction,. or that represent the. work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represent a·significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or (0) that have yielded, or may be· likely to. yield, information important in pre-history or history. II. Criteria Considerations Ordinarily cemeteries, birthplaces, or graves of historical figures. properties owned by religious institutions or used for religious purposes, structures that hlllle been moved fnm their original lcx:ations, reconstM:ted histcil'ic: buiidings, pi'Opllrties primaril\1. commemol!'ative in nature, and properties that haM! a1:tii!!NGd significani:e within the past· fifty years shaU not be con~idered eligible for the NATIONAl REGISTER.

Moist tundra ecosystems UJsuany form a complete ground cover and are extremely productive during the growil'llg seasc:nDo They vary from almost continuous and uniformly developed cottongrass tussocks with sparse growth of other sedges and dwarf shrubs to stands .. where tussocks are scarce orr lacking and dwarf shrubs are dominant ... Associated species are ar.ctagrostisj) bluejoint, tufted haiirgrass~' mosses'~~ alpine azalea, wood rush~ mountain-avens, bistort, low-growing willows, dwarf birch\) labrador teas green alder, lapland rosebay~ blueberry and mountain cranberry. HIGH BRUSH: These are dense to open·deciduous brush systems. Floodplain thickets: The subsystem is similar from the rivers of the southern coastal areas to 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, buffaloberry and high bush cranberryo Birch~alder-willow thickets: This subsystem is found near timberline in interior Alaska.. It consists of resin birch:p American green alder~ thinleaf alder and several wnlow species. Thickets may be extremely dense, or open and interspersed with reindeer lichens, low heath type shrubs~ or patches of aJpine tundra ecosystems. Other associated species are Sitka alder, bearberry, crowberry~ Labrador tea, spirea, blueberry and mountain cranberry. UPLAND SPRUCE~HARDWOOD FOREST: This ecosystem is a fairly dense interior forest composed of white spruce, birch, aspen and poplar. Black spruce typicany grows on north slopes and poorly drained flat areas. Root depths are shallow. Fire scars are common. White spruce averaging 40; to 80 feet in· height and up to 16 inches in diameter occurs in mixed stands on' south facing slopes and well drained sons; forms pure stands near streams. Aspen and birch average 50 feet in height. Poplar averaging 80 feet ·;n. 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 seldom exceed 8 inches in diameter or 50 feet in height. 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 fn the depressions. Undergrowth species include willow~ dwarf birch, low bush cranberry, blueberryt Labrador tea, crowberry, bearberry, c:ottongrass~ 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.

Surfaces mapped as 11 b'1 are sloping bedrock surfaces that formed the valley walls of glacial troughs. In. most cases slopes are very steep, and 1.1sual1y bedrock is exposed direc~ly underneath the thin recent soil mantlea In some places patchy thin drift may be present within the boundaries of areas mapped with the subscript "baa. This Ulnit commonly grades both upward and downward. in elevation to rock slopes above the glacial trough (r) or to drift mantle slopes {d, d/b). Minor windbloWII'! sedimentation and solifluction processes have occurred, but in most cases the glacial trough is relatively unmodified. d. Surfaces mapped as 61 d 11 include those areas thickly mantled wfth glacial drift •. Relief is generally very low and the unit can have a monotonous gradually sloping undulating expression.. Drainage is typically poor, with small ponds fanning in a few· places. The surface character is controlled largely by the varying thickness and composition of the till mantleo Most of the sediment 1.mderlying the surfaces mapped 10 d10 is probably stonyl) clayey!) dense till,,. which may be overlain by a thin gravel cap. d/b. Surfaces mapped as 18 d/b61 are underlain by thin or patchy drift which overl tes · bedrock.. Both ice ... scoun·ed bedrock: and a mcmt1e of poorly drained drift can occur locally. The topographic relief is usually lower than 11 r 111 surfaces because the drift fills in the original depressions. It is higher than 11 d10 surfaces because the surface irregularities are not completely masked by a drift mantle., locally» this unit can be well drained (as in the gravelly areas)s but usually well drained bedrock areas are randomly interspersed with poorly drained drift areas., Minor areas of subdued morainal topography can be present locallyo m. Surfaces mapped as 10 m11 are uli'llderhin by hummocky irregular, commc:mly gravelly drift which extends to some depth. The surface expression is morainal. Topographic relief is generally les~ than 100 feett but numerous chaotic small ridges (morainal) or isolated mounds (kames) typically less than 100' relief may be present~ In most areas, the surfaces mapped as •nmu are well drained and gravelly. Sman lakes are commonly present, and large irregular poorly drained areas may be present as well. Very little morainal topography is present west of the Watana Dam Site. Extensive areas near the Tyone Riveri although morainal in fonn (m)» are more subdued and poorly drained, possibly because they are partly buried by eolian sediments. m2. Surfaces mapped as '1m2 16 are similar to '1mn surfaces arrnd grade directly into them. They are~ however» more irregular in. form~ with more prominent ridges, and better drained topography. In the vicinity of Tsisi Creek and the Oshetna River, '0m2 16 surfaces include some prominent valley lateral moraines. v. Sl.llrrfaces mapped as 11 V 18 include all bedrock surfaces that were formed by recent incision of tributaries and the Susitna River. The surfaces are very steep, commonly gullied, and are still conmonly in the process of being eroded. The country between 16 V 16 surfaces and the next higher surface is usually sharpo · '9 V11 surface also includes some c·olluvium, small talus cones\) and a few possible landslides., a. Surfaces mapped as 11 a's include all alluvium of modern or relatively recent age. The alluvium is generally well drained and vegetation covered, especially in the Susitna Canyon. A11uviu~ in the tributaries may contain minor colluvial debris and some fine material, but along the Susitna and Chulitna River 11 a 16 is indistinguishable from outwash. The alluvium is derived largely from reworked outwash, hence the similarity. The contact between alluvium (a) and steep gullied slopes (v) is usually abrupt, but difficult to map because of the narrow outcrop pattern. C-12 0 0 b 0 0 0 .o 0 0 0 0 0 0 ALASKA HERITAGE.

Therefore, the final rulemaldng has been redrafted to reflect the three criteria which the Bureau of Land Managtment will use in order to mak~~a 3(e) determination as to whether. the lands are ptiblic lands and; thus, subject to conveyance to a Native corporalion. These criteria, which were previously reflected but not expressly . stated in the definitions section are: (1) Nature and time of use. (2) area to be retained by the Federal agency, and (3) interest to be retained by the Federal · agency. Each point will be discussed individually. ' ' ' · .....

The questiotis. relate in part to the .meaning of "statutory entitlementn as .used in Section 4 of P.L. 94-456 (90 Stat. 1934) and yoti have asked us to reconsider our earlier opinion of November·2, l97 9 \vh ic h c-oncluded that the tenn "statu tory en tit lernen t 11 was li1id.ted to Section l2(a) of ANCSA entitleme-nts.

However, after a series of meetings and discussions. ~Alith CIRI' s attorney · · and members of the BUt's Division of ANCSA Operations, as well as a thoro~gh recdnsideration and review of the matter in. this office, we are n.ow of the opinion that the phrase "statutory ent~tlement" can be construed .to include 12(b) entitlements as w·ell as ·12(a) enti.tlements .. Our rationale is that 12(h).entitlements are·"statutory entitlements" in as much as they. are derived directly from a statute (Section 12(b) of A..I\ICSA). The fact tha.t Section 12(b) of A.:.'iCSA does not set out specific entitlenu~nts ot even gwarantee that any given village corporation will receive· any acreage, ·does not alter the ,fact that 12(b) entitlements are stai::utorily crea.ted ~. Given this fact, it is possible that a court, in con- struing Section 4 of P .. L. 94-4.56, would.not look beyond the face of. the statute,. as we did in reaching the conclusions . set forth in our opinion of November· 2, 19 7.9. · Reither,. a court could hold that. the t,erm ·~statu tory entitlement, 11 . on ·its face; encompassed both l2(a) and 12(b) entitlement.s. This would be iri accord.with the general rule of statutory construction that specifies when a statute is clear on its face 'it is improper to ·look to the legislative history. See, U.S. v~ Rone, 598 F.2d 564, 569 (~th Cir. Jg79). ~nd . F.2d 653, 656 (9th Cir. 1961) ... On the other hand, if.Section 4 of P.L. 94-45~ were considered to. be ambiguous, the general TU of stattitory construction, which provides that ambiguities in Indian legislation should be construed in f~vor of lndians 1 would apply. See, Brvan v. Itasca County, L126 U.S. 373, 392 (1976); and Alnska PGblic Easement Defens~ Fund v. Andrus, 435 F. Supp. ·· 664, 671 (Alaska. 1977) . Thus , even · i. f the term "statutory entitlement 11 \vas nor. considered ,by a '-~burt to facially encompass both 12(a) and 12(b) entit.lements and was treated as ambigti6u~, it could still. be cbristrued to include 12(b), as well as l2(a), entitlements as CIRI ass~rts. · These general rules of statutory construction aside, new factors nave come to light \•lhich lndicat.c? the S·:~cr:etary can convey Section 12(b) lands to CIRI for reconveyance.

Moreover, the Agreement of August 31, 1.97 6 which, as a conte~poraneous agency in terpre tat ion, is entitled to great weight, specifically provides for the preservation of Eklutna's 12(b) selectiQns. In particular, Section F(3) of the Agreement of August 31, 1976 memoralizes the fact that the ~ithdrawals made. ih PLO 5174 and PLO 5425 for l2(b) selections by Eklutna remain avaiL-1hle. for s ection by. Ekltitna. Convey~nc~ of any acreage ClRI allocates to Ekfutna under l2(b) would thus fall outside of· .. the per-imeters of t:hf: T&C and would be directly from the Uni~ed States Lb'EkluLnu. While other Cook Inlet Region village corporations initially had selection rights. under1 thes.e same PLO' s, i.r. is note~·Jocthy that _the Agreement of ·August 31; 1976 fails to. specifically · p~eserve th r selection. rights. This omission further supports our conclusion that all Cook Inlet Region vil , other t.han Eklutna, can obtain their 12(b) entitlements only in the geograph a~eas e~tablished in Section VII of the ·. T&C or pursuant to Section l.C. (2) (k) of the T&C. CON CUTS ION . .

The relationships between Section 4 of P.L. 94-456, the Agreement of August 31/ 1976, and Section VII .A, of the Terms and Conditions ·for· Land Consolidation and r-12magement in the cook Inlet Area is discussed below. Statements made in the Agreeme-nt ofJ:ll1gust 31, 1976, indicate . ' . . that the Secretary and CIRI did not have only 12(a) selections in mind/ and. that. 1.2 (b) lands·· may be conveyed to CIRI for·· . . reconveyance to the .villages. The provisions in Section E of the agreement refer to village entitlements only under Section 14 of ANCSA, without specifying subsections 12(a) a:nd/or 12(b). Also, section F of the agreement provi.des that only certain lands shall be conveyed to village corporations within cook Inlet. Region. Th~ list of lands therein makei no mention of'·selections filed under Section 12(a) and/or 12(b) o.f l\.NCSA; hm.;rever, it implies that the villa_ges, other than.Eklutna., would .receive lands directiy from the Secretary only in the section 11 (a) ( 1) and {_2) withdrawals and from CIRI in the deficiency •,;.ithdrawals.. Section . . -. F of the agreement reads as follows:- Only the following lands shall be conveyed to Village Corporations within Cook Inlet Region: 1) Valid selections made by any Village Cornoration within an area 't!i thdrawn by Section 11 ( .=.) ( 1) and ( 2) of the Settlement Act; D 0 D 0 o. 0 0 0 0 0 D 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 2) Valid selections made by Eklutna, Inc., from lands withdrawn by Public Land Order (FLO) 5174, as amended by FLO 5425; 3) Lands conveyed by CIRI pursuant to this section; and pursuant to the Terms and Conditions as clarified AUgUSt 31, 1976. Under F ( 3), do the conveyances by CIRI pursuant. to the Terms and Conditions include l2(b) lands? Does this imply that the Secretary has authoriza:tion to convey 12 (h) lands to CIRI? Although no explicit authorization exists, such conveyance may be . . required in this case. The .conveyances to village corporations which are provided for in the Terms and Conditions include, in our ~nalysis, only lands from within the Exchange Pool under ·.Section I ,c. (2) ( K) and lands· from the State reconveyances under Section I.C .. of Appendix C. As will b~.explained later, Section VI I. A. b f the Terms and Conditions only specifies areas in 'H'hich 12 (b.) selections Can be filed. It does not provide for ·conveyances to be made to CIRI. According to c.onversa tions with our Alaska Program Staff in \'-i'ashington, CIRI was told during the negotiations for. the August agreement that the ANCSA amendment ·.~as intended only to satisfy ·. 12 (a) entitlements. The Department of Interior had no intention of conflicting with Section VII.A. of the Terms and Conditions. It ~as pciinted out that a contract, or the August agreement, could not overturn statute (VII. of the Terms and Condit::i.i;)r~s). One argument used to support the contention that the Secretary has the authority to convey l2(b) lands to CIRI is that Appendix A of the agreement of August 31, 1975, was written to include 12(a) selected lands and lands which would likely ce Co·n-re·.~-~c· t:1 ·r·,·-,,,~ge ~~rT'\o·rat·,·on-= .L~·-~r .~...~1ulfil~-~--~·~"'n~.:_ .':f 1.?(','"'.) .L\ _:.c ........

Does the inclusion of 12(b) larids within Appendix A of the Agr~ement of August 31, 1976, give the Secretary the authority to make s1,1ch· conveyances to CIRI? The definition established for 11 statutory entitlement!! in. the memorandum of November 2, 1979, and the reasons provided·,· r..;ould indicate otherwise. P...nother argument is that by the wording given in Section VILP. .. of the Terms and Conditions/ the villages will receive their 12 (b) ·.entitlement only from those . lands describ~d in that section; the Terms a.lld Conditions is statute and Section VII.A. of the Terms and Conditions mandates cnn to allocate Section l2(b) selections to certain specified areas. The areas 'include 4. 5 tovmships in the. Talkeetna· Nountains withdrawal. This is comparable to the a.rnount of land· within Appendix A of the Agreement of August 31, 1976, which is selected only under section 12 {b) of .A.NCSA. CIRI has queried, 1t~here els.e would the villages receive.their 12(b) entitlement if the.4.5 tcl\mships are accepted by CIRI as part of its 12(c) entitlement? CIRI 's intent to include the 12 (b) lands in App~ndix ,c,. is · understandable, ·but. there are other· l.ands the Talkeetna Mountains Withdrawal available for 12 (b) selections 1,.Jhich included in ."\ppendix A. l/ .!\lso! the village corporati l/ There are, in t:he Talkeetna !!1ountains alene, approx1ma ly 2 ,633 acres north of the Susitna River which are net in Apperidix A.

VI L of the T.erms and Conditions i 11 ••• CIRI shall · alloc.ate s.ection · · 12 (b) selections. ~ .. 11 ? standing alone, it surely cap_rlOt meq.n that the 12 (b) lands would .be conveyed to CIRL The Terms and Conditions were written prior to P.L. 94-456, and at the time .there was no need for any la:nds to be conveyed to CI.RI for . ' ,. . ., ·• reconveyance to the village corporations. It appears thaf the ·. whole intent a.nd. need for tb.e. authorization given in Section 4 .of . :P .. L. · 94-456 was to resolve the problems caused by the 12 (a) selection pattern of the village corporations. However, since · are obliged to convey the lands in Appendix A to CIRI, and .Cook · Inlet Villages are entitled t;o 12(b) allocations.; .. some of which. ·.··could come. from .1\.ppendix A, it· may.·be ne.cessary to construe· the ·.agreements to allm~ our conveyances of. 12.(b) lands to CIRI. ·• Whether or not thel2(b) lands· are conveyed to GIRl for reconveyance to the villages, can the villages receive title to 12 (b) .l.ands outside .of VI I.

F(2) of the Agreement of August 31, 1976?. Could. the other· village corporations justifiably demand exception? It appears that from the beginning there has been confusion caused by lack· of conununication in the various agreements. · (See COpies of correspondence enclosed COncerning a conflict betHeen a 12(b} selection filed by Seldovia and the·provisions of P.L, 94-204).

J J J J 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 01 I Di I oi l 0 THE COMMISSION'S ROLE The Joint Federal-State Land Use Planning Commission for Alaska was created ·by Act of Congress in the Alaska ~ative Claims Settlement Act and by Act of the Legislature of the State of Alaska (A.S. 41.40.010). The primary goals.of the Commission as established by law are to: (1) insure that the economic growth of Alaska is orderly and compatible with environmental values and the economic and social well-being of the Stateas residents; and (2) plan for the wisest and best use of Alaska's lands. The Commission is expressly directed to: (1) seek ways to avoid conflicts among the State, the Federal government, and Alaska Natives over the selection, use, and management of lands; (2) improve coordination between the State and Federal governments; and (3) recommend changes in laws, policies, and programs affecting land use and management in Alaska. The Commission has ten members, half of whom serve as Federal appointees and half appointed by the State of Alaska.l/ Providing executive leader- ship are the ·Governor of Alaska or his designee as Sta~e Co-Chairman and a Federal Co-Chairman appointed by the President of the United States. The ~overnor is required by law to name an Alaska Native to, at least, one of the State seats on the Commission. A small staff, including planners, resource specialists, lawyers, and economists, supports the Commission in its deliberations. The Commission as a body upon which State, Federal, and Alaska Native int~rests are represented and whose mandated intent is to promote coopera- tion and resolve conflicts among these major landowners, occupies a . unique position from which to provide oversight on land trades and adjustments. Commission Involvment in Cook Inlet Selection Problems Section 17(a) (7) (B) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act directs the Commission to make recommendations concerning proposed land selections by Native village and regional corporations. Pursuant to this and other authority provided ip. Section 17(a) of the Act the Commission has been involved since 1972 in seeking a satisfactory solution to the land selection problems which hav.e confronted Cook Inlet Regione Inc., and its constituent villages. In general and specific recommendations the Commission recognized-the necessity of·providing lands of "similar in character" to. Cook Inlet Region, Inc. to fulfill their entitlement under the Claims Act. Constraints imposed by the Claims Act prohibit selections of State lands, selections within the Kenai Moose Range, selections out of the Cook Inlet Region, or selections within a two-mile buffer zone of first class municipalities. In recognition of these constraints and problems they posed for fulfill- ment of the Native enti~lement, the Commission recommended on Mar~h 29, 1974 that acreage in the Lake Clark area be withdrawn for Cook Inlet Region, Inc. When it appeared that Congressional amendments to the !( Two vacancies, one State seat and one Federal seat, currently exist on the Commission. 6 C10 i:;--.:, Act would r<~m0ve. most of the~;·: pro:1ibitions and ti;a.t negotiations )}..;:.\-/f;i!n ttH, IJC:pi:!Ctr!l~nt of uv~ Int:or.ior and Cr.Jok Inl'·!t P,t~(jion, I\<G. <:ll.~;u i.nclud,,cl thr.1 parti,;ip; .. ti.on of Stato qov-~rmrF.!Ht, tlv~ Commi~:;ion on Or.: tJJlY: r 30, 197 S cor:r.mun i.r.:<.~. teu it:; un;.mimou;; su:lpor t of the approach tai~·-!n by the rwgotiator:,;.

(Copies of the letters communicating the actions cited above, as well as a det<.~.iled summary of Commission involvement in the Cook Inlet land selection problems, are included as Appendix A.) Public Law 94-204 was enacted by Congress January 2, 1976 incorporating the agreement reached through the negotiations entitled "Terms and Conditions for Land Consolidation and Management in Cook Inlet Area." In its deliberations on the agreement, the House and Senate Resources Committees met in joint session on February 11, 1976, and passed a motion to request Commission review and report to the Legislature on the agreement. 'I'he Commission's Review In ceuponse to the Legislature's reque~t, all staff were committed to an inten~:;ive compilation and analysis of land and resource data· and legal is~ue-;. A special session of the Commission vias scheduled for r1arch 5 and 6. Data >'las solicited from all parties to the e:x:change, other Fed•.:!ral and State agencies 1 and the public. Transcripts of legislative and udlJ\inistrative hearings and minutes of legislative committee meetings on the proposed settlement were reviewed, together with testimony both sup~orting and opposing the settlemen~ in order to assure that all major issues and questions would be addressed in the Co~~ission delibera- tions. Data previously compiled in the Co~~ission's Statewide Resources Inventory and research conducted in prior instances when the selection problems of the Cook Inlet Region have been considered by the Commission were reviewed. Staff presentations reflected multidisciplinary expertise and individual evaluations of alternatives to the proposed settlement. Commissioners had the opportunity to review staff memoranda and informa- tion submitted from other sources prior to the meeting and to consult directly with the staff a day in advance of the meeting. Problems vlith the settlement >.;ere cited by staff, as v1ell as. benefits accruing to the settlement parties. At the meeting, comprehensive presentations were made by the lead negotiators of the Federal and State governments and the Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated. Commissioners posed questions on all major aspects of the proposed settlement to the negotiators. Each geographical area subject to the proposed exchange was examined. ~·iritten statements and documentation from Harold Galliett, David S. Jackman, and Bristol Bay Native Corporation. Copies of these statements and documents are included in the notebooks transmitted to the two Resources Committees. 7 J I ""'I j I -J ~ ~ J i c' cl Ci I q 0 0 Jl I J J J J J PRIMARY CONSIDERATIONS In evaluating the proposed land trade, the Commission considered how the wide variety of interests of different citizen groups affected by this trade had.been accommodatede The Commission and the State have a responsi- bility to protect the interests of the 6,000 citizens of Cook Inlet as they strive to receive their rights from the Federal government under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. At the same time, the interests of the citizens of the State as a whole, of which the Cook Inlet people are a part, must not be sacrificed. The effect of the trade on the State's overall economic well-being must be assessed and the rights of other Native regional corporations m,ust be considered. The Anchorage area, which has been the center of the State's rapid population growth, has a need for close-in recreation space which must be considered, and plans for Anchorage's north/south runway and for a new State capital site must not be jeopardized by the trade. In addition to these and other factors which concern both the Commission and the State, the . Commission has a responsibility to consider the national interest),n. Federal lands and in nationally and internationally important resources such as the Bristol Bay fishery. Among the many different interests affected by the proposed trade, the Commission identified the following as primary considerations: OVerall Considerations 1. The decision on this proposal is not simply whether or not·to approve this trade but, rather, whether this is the best of a range of congressional and judicial alternatives.!/ One element is certain--cook Inlet's entitlement under the Settlement Act to approximately 54 townships of land must be satisfied in some manner. 2. The negotiated approach embodied in this proposal represents a far better means of harmonizing conflicting interests than the other alternative means by which the Federal government might meet its · obligations to cook Inlet. Without a three-party negotiation, the transfer would be between the Federal government and Cook Inlet, and the State would have little or no input. Through the terms and conditions built into this negotiated proposal, checks and balances have been provided to insure that the interests of all parties are protected. 3. The cooperation of Federal, State, and Native interests to come to a mututally acceptable trade sets a healthy precedent for future land planning in Alaska. In the future, joint planning by the three major landowners within the State is essential if the massive redistribution of land tenure caused by the Statehood Act and the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act is to be arranged into a satisfactory management pattern. !( Detailed in Appendix B. •• l ,. " 4. This agreement involved a great deal oE give and take by the parties involved. For· example, cook Inlet agreed,~d to. takt~ ovt":r half of 6 •. its entitlement outside its own region in areas that are gener<;>.lly · remote from the Cook Inlet people, . and . to accept Ft:~deral. and' State control.s over ·land selection and. usc that ;,,·ould not h'~ required under the regular provisions of the Settlement Act. ' ' ' --' ' ' ' Thep:toposal provides protectionfor the interests of Native.corpor.,-. ations in other regions .by gJving both village and regional coipor-· atioris veto powers over selections adjacent to .and up to 12 miles t:rom lands withdrawn for sel~ction by Native corporations within the region. State selections in. the early .year's of. Alaska statehood were . c~ncentrated in the area that was to become the Cook Inlet Region. By 1971 ,. when the· SettlE!."llent Act passed/ the lowlands of the region were virtually i:til in State and private ownership except for Federal withdrawals such as the Moose Range and the military reservations. Given this situation, without the proposed settlement; and without State assistance and the State s~lected lands, there is' little lE?:eway within the Cook Iniet Region to satisfy cook Inlet's entitle- ment• to .lands "o.f a charcter si:nllar" to village' sites·. Legal Considerations . . . 1. The probability of protracted la"i suits is l~~s under this proposal than under other alternative ways by which the Federal obligation to cook Inlet could be fulfilled. 2. 3. JIJ.ost of the legal impediments to the proposed trade were removed by Public Law· 94-204 .Y The only remaining legal ·necessity to enable the trade is. for the State L~gislature. ·to approve the conveyance of subsurface by the State 9overnmentand to waive. requirements for determination of equal. value on a purely monetary basis~ The conflict be.tween Anchorage's proposed north/south runway extension and park. and· recreation U$eS .is recognized by .. all parties · involved. .This problem may be solved by the Federal process of surplusing Federal wi thdrawaTs. "'hich would eliminate land identified as needed ·f!J)r airport purposes from the parcel before conveyance to·. the State fer park and recreation purposes. . . 4. All vested thirdparty interests are protected by the terms and conditions of the proposed agreemenL ·Lands made available for Native selections were in areas t..rhcre there. were already many private land holdings which will be protected. Y D.ctailed. 1.n. Appendix C. 9 I i \. I I i l 0 0 o~ i [} 0 0 0 Ol , I 0 0 0 J 5. Approval of the proposed trade would assure. the continuance of the 1972 settlement between the State and the Department of the Interior.2f Without this trade, the Cook Inlet Region will continue its litigation which challenges the 1972 settlement. A decision in favor of cook Inlet would jeopardize approximately two-thirds of the State's existing land selections. Land Use considerations 1. 2. 3. 4. s. 6. 7. 8. Under the terms of the agreement, the State obtained powers to guide and control the selection process and to keep lands with particular values for recreation and other public purposes in public ownership. Similar planning powers would be unavailable to the State under the unnegotiated alternatives to this proposal. The trade is designed to protect the large regions in Southcentral Alaska which have high values for public purposes.i/ Ownership boundaries around such areas, for example, Lake Clark, Iliamna Lake, and the proposed Talkeetna State Park, have been drawn to establish workable management units. Where possible, land ownership units have been consolidated and simplified. For example, blocks of State owned land are e.Xpanded in the Susitna Valley and west of Iliamna Lake, and village hold- ings on the west side c:>f Cook Inlet have been consolidated. This trade provides substantial protection for the Kenai National Moose Range, which has high public value as a prime recreation area for the State's rapidly growing population. Other proposed alternatives could have conveyed large areas of Moose Range surface ownership or producing oil fields to Cook Inlet. Native villages will receive lands closer to village sites than under existing selection withdrawals which were far removed from villages. Such lands generally have more use and value for village purposes. The proposed trade will enable Cook Inlet to acquire lands that are suitable for private land use purposes. Lands which have currently been made available for Cook Inlet selection are primarily mountainous areas which would have little or no value for a 'private corporation. The trade retains proposed capital site areas in State ownership. The trade will accelerate and assure the transfer to the State of prime areas for recreation and public purposes in the urban area of the Anchorage bowl. Of special concern to the Municipality of Anchorage is the Campbell tract. The agreement specifies that this l( copy of 1972 agreement included in notebook submitted to the Resources comrni ttees. Detai.led in Appendix D. tract will be managE:d in accordanc·::: •.vith a .gen-::ralized land use.plan already proposed for the area •. If and \1/hen other Federal tr'acts, i.e., Point t-Joronzof,. Point Campbell, and Goose Lak~., are· declared. surplus for Federal use; they, also, will be convcy.:;d to the State. Economic <:::onsiderations 1. Because of.the nature and complexity. of the trade,. and the very . realdifficulties in applying ordinary valuatiol"\ methods, broad · · . economic standards must be used .. in judging the trade, These st<3.ndards must include the Com."Uissiori' s mandat~. to make recorn.'1lendations · . relating to orderly economic grmvth compatible witn other social, · cultural, and environmental values. The standards must also include an asse,ssmerit of the .impact of the trade oh the ·future fiscal, and economicwell-being.of Alaska. 2. ·rhe economic losses that the State will. purportedly incur as a ·result of the trade. appear t() be exaggerated~ Whenhighlyspeculative .. gr~ss ass~t values are converted to "net present value" of probable. foregone revenues, the State's exp~ctedlosses are minimal.2/ . :3. ·rhe future fi~cal viability 'of the State is largely unaffected by· the ,trade. This isso for a variety of reasons, including the folloV/ing: b. Economic developm'eritis at 'ieast as likely to .occur if resources . . are in private ·O)Nnersrlip as. WOtlld be the Case if the. State . retained ownership of the resources.. Thus, State revenues from corporate income ·taxes, personal income taXes, and most .. other tax sources. will. be at least as great under. private resource ownership as public. Economic rents that might possibly be foregone (in the forrn of royalties) can for the ·most pa~t be .. recouped thro\.lgh the State's power of taxation . .§I . . It is probable that revenues. foregone under the propos.ed trade . w{ll. constitute ortly a minute fraction of total State revenues in the future. Anticipated revenues in the l990 's, amounting to several billion dollars annually; .dwarf pbtential foregone revenues. For example, expected coal royalties from a: proposed dev~lopment in the Beluga fields are only abqut 1. 5 million dol.lars per year, which amounts to about 0.03 percent of projected total State revenues in 1990. 4. The general level of economic act:ivi ty will be largely independent ·of. resource ownership. In fact, if Cook Inlet Region is assumed. to be at, least· .as development oriented as the State, then total economic activity can be expected to increase. E) ·Detailed in Appendix E. §!

' Gentlemen: The Bureau of Land Management appreciates the opporttinity to address and ·comm.ent.to this board on the proposed Susitna Hydroelectric Project~ Curt McVee,.A:laska BU! S'tate·Dire.ctor regrets that he is unable to attend .and comment today· due to other commi.tm.S.nts.. I am Dick Vernimen, Associate District Mauager,.BLM Anchorage District. . . Since the Anchorage District w:U~ be the.office mak::ing the re.couimen- . dations on the project I will be speaking from, that: positiouo ·The BLl."1} s. charge. as a multiple-use agency is to allow the use· of the .public;land:;; to its highest capacity and values and to mitigate impacts where possible. In the case of tb..is project we are involved with a mixed. land. pattern requiring· us to act' as interim.: land mana.gers in · regards. to unconveyed Nacive and State selected. lands. Our charge is the same. but: the land st:atus requires more concurrence .concerning decisions on what is allpwed to happen on these lands. Based on what: we know about the project: today from reviewing documents and meetings with both ACRES and APA we do not forsee any reason why the continuation of project development. should not proceed. We offer the following information for your use: L Pioneer Road Routes-. As we ~derstand the situation, for those routes that ·originate either on the· Alaska Railroad or the Parks Highway, the Pionee·r Road would have to be constructed during the years 198.3..,.1984 in order to arrive at impr.oved access during 1985 and ~arly 1986, which would then provide for a state of continuous access from the middle of. 1986 onwards. !he Pioneer Road concept requires road rights-of=way and relat:ed permits during the year of 1982 which is prior to the FERC licensing p~ocess. There are obviously several problems with the Piqneer Road concept. As we now understand the situation, they are as follows: U_· .. > .. :· ... ·.:... .·.,,",. . .· '·. -co·.,· • 0 D o· D D 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ~ ~- 2. l. Early construction of the Pioneer Road would have t:9 be permitted by a BLM ·right.=of-way that would require an environmental impact statement separate from those documents now being prepared for the project. Approach-. ing the Pioneer Road Project in. a separate EIS without evaluating the entire Susi.tna ProJect may· lead to a .~ le.ga.J... c.hillenge of piecemealing a bigger proj"ec.t. · In· other.· words.~ we: could. be. . challenged. that.· the· road· is . :: :.'}merely. a part of~. a. larger. overall. hyd;r:oelf!ctr~~ project· ' .. ···~''''wbich:t should; be 'analyzed at .Otlli! ;time... . ... , ·· · 2. The Pioneer Road would deviate from the location of the final access road particularly on the route south. of. the Susitna.. Riv~r between Devil.' s Canyon and the Watana. site ... • 3. .The Pioneer Road concept requires decision ma.k.ing by . . the Cook Inlet Native Corporation, State of Alaska, and the Bureau. of Land Management~ prior to: licensing by FERC".. We are: very much. concerned that. a. decision on the. pioneer road may lead. to serious enviromnental. and economic. consequences prior to the actual licensing ·of. the praj ect. While it. is .. not likely a FERC license will. be denied: after. the feasi.b:i.l.±ty of the. project, has· been established, time' has a way of changing the values set by many. of our pa.St de·cisions and we· as separate agencies; cannot. take the Pioneer Road c"oncepc: light:ly. There are three· other. aspects of. the Pioneer Road· concept we should mention. Those are: l) it. is very ·likely a Section 10 permit will be required for· crossing navigable waters (Susitna River), 2) a Section 404 permit for wetlands will be required from the Corp of Engineers, and 3) the decision on the Pioneer Road concept. will be. elavaeed to the level of the Secretary of the. Interior. All. of the mentioned probl~ areas t~e time and, as time is of. the essence·, it is extremely important that, if a route. is choseri that requires Pioneer Road construction, thae the decision be 2ade as early as possible and that the application~ for· right:- of-way and other permits. be made to the Depar~t of ...... :Interior and Department of Defense agenc:ies at the earliest possible moment. En~ronmental Impacts: We are concerned about. the relative environmental tradeoffs that must:. be made if this project: to be constructed. We cannot at this time recommend to you a preferred access t'Oute and mode. There are obviously some. routes however that pose relatively higher environmental costs. Those routes -------· u· .... .... -_.· .. \)...,_: . ~ . ·. 0 ' 0 0 0 .· '-,, 0 0 0 0 0 e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .. ·.': .. . . ; .,, ' .~ ·::,:_·: .. · '·)~-••;:,-, r .•,.· ,·; .. . .. are the one south of the Susitna River between Devil's Canyon and Watana and secondly, the ·corridor parallelling the Indian River. Also of significant environmental concern is the route proposed south from the Denali Highway.·. The impact here· is somewhat mitigated by the western route as-opposed. to. the route via: Butte Lake. It is still unclear. as-to the relative magnitude .. of ·the impact qn. caribou posed by the western. route. south; from the .. Denali Highway. Wh±le we are ' ~-c::.o~cerned .. as: to:<the:-impact on_:that> _carihou. herd, we. f'eel that ·.'·>:the' envi:ro'!lm.ent:ai 'tradeoff' in question .. is, one qf >ilnp~ct.s · · · - on· the: caribou herd: versus:· .the im.pact:s·. of. more. productive: · · .habit:at:s in the area of Indian River or Fog Lakes area. From an envir.onmental standpoint:,· the route southerly from the Denali Highway seems preferrable from the aspect of minimizing. dis.turba.D.ce of productive habitat. The route .fr.om the Denali,. however, poses a secondary !inpact; that of human access to the project area: after construct.ion. Public access to the project area is a. two=edged. sword. We recognize. that the Watana Project may provide a val~ble recreation source for people of the southcentra.L liask.a. It is also ·recognized. however, that public:. recre.at.ion can be, avery destructive· activity.. We, submit: that. control: of the·. access, the. State Game. Laws,. and .. the project management:, after ··construction, are ·tools that can be used to: manage the adverse effect~_9f increased-recre.at:ion opportunities. The question of public. access _to the project area is a spinoff· of the type of: access that is developed. for project construction~ While many problems are present. we submit· to you the following conclusions: · a. Both rail and road access will be required for construc- tion. We feel this concept provides adequate flexibility and logistics during construction phases. b. It is improbable the State· of Alaska can. construct a project of this magnitude. w:i.thout. some form of readily available. public access as: a residual product. c. The .entire Susitna project is surrounded by primarily · .. ·two kinds of land ownership; approximately 215, 000 acres of private lands, in. Native ownerships, and a very large acreage of State Land. The Cook. Inlet Region Corporation has indicated they prefer development of their lands as a means of generating revenue. We can deduce that the State of Alaska likewise is committed to the. development of the highest and best use of its land. ·This land ownership pattern and the respective management· philosophies lead one to believe that road access will be supported by these two very important landowners in. the area of· the project. a !, 1'.·.· I. ~ ".: ·1·. ·a I I ~ s·· I I I ··~ I I · It is .our position to work with you on the proj~;.ct: proposal in the most eX'ped:i.ant manner .we can while working ~ithin the 'laws and regulations placed. · If ·there are further q.uestions concerning our: . please at (907} 267-1246\ · Thank. you~ · 0 0 0· ,_" ', .- •, BUREAU OF !;..ANC ..

Bedard Land Management Research, Alaska Power Authority Dear The Alaska· Power Authority is in the process of a Federal. Energy · Regulatory Commission application for a major construction of a Hydroelectric Dam Project oil the upper Susitna Ri'ver. This application. · is targ.eted to be forwarded to FERC in early. 1983. One of the major requirements of the application is Land Ownership; Methods of Land Acquisitirin~ Proposed and existing l'nd uses of the Project area and adjacent Land Owners. ·· It is imperative for an order.ly and timely manner for land ·.acquisition and 'planned uses, that the following steps be taken by all .parties concerned, Bureau of Land Management, Department Of Natural· Resources,. Cook Inlet Region,lnc., and.its CJRLVillageCorporations and Ahtna Region, Inc. , and the Vi 11 age of Cantwell. · · L Reservation for an access corri.dor on Federal D=llands that. have been recently opened for mineral leasing and mineral entry known as the. Denali Block. This corridor will be· necessary for a first. class gravel road to a.ccommodate heavy. loads and a low. voltage transmission.line from Cantwe.ll. 2. Permit to use and upgrade a 21 mile segment of the Denali Highway from mi 1 e Post _. _. _ to Cantwe 11. 3. That the BLM take a 11 necessary. steps.to place a· higher priority of land conveyances needed for this project to the State .of Alaska. Native Regiona 1 .. and .Village Corporations· and any bther classified .lbnds needed for this Project ~nder BLM jurisdiction. 4, That the State Attorney General and the State Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources. take immediate action to·· resolve the Alexander Creek. Native Corporation issue. 5. That the Bureau of Indian Affairs take immediate actiori to either certify or deny certification bf Gold Creek Native· Grou~ as a Group and if certified that the Bureau of land .r~anagement identify .the lands and convey these to the Group with an-expeditious a proces~ as possible. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6. That the Bureau of Land Management provide the Alaska Power Authoritywith a solicitors opinion of the. intent of Sec •. 24 of the Federal Power Site Act as it relates to PSC #443 and PL. 94-204 granting _conveyance to Cook Inlet Region, Inc., and its Village· Corporations. · · . 7. That all mining claims be identified with date of entry and ·the current validity of these claims federal and state. . . . 8. .That all existing water rights be identified in the inundatibn areas, their tributaries, and down stream of Devil Canyon by · the State. Department of Natural Resour'ces. 9. That all existing litigation be identified with an update of their status~ federal, statei native~ and other private inholdings. · 10. Future ~nd current plans of any Federal, State Land Disposals in the area that. could have significant impacts on land acquisitions. · · · 11. . Current status or plans on state selections· suspended that are reserved . for Cook. In 1 et Region, Inc. , the overselecti ons by · the State of Al~ska was suspended to the. state pending final conveyance to CIRI and its villages until full entitlement has been met. It is imperative that the CIRI villages conveyances be given full conveyances to their larids as soon as practicable so that the state can complete its selections in this area for theSusitna Hydroelectric Project. 12. That the State Department of Natural. Resources change its priorities to a higher: priori.ty for its land selections in the Susitna Hydroelectrit Project area. 13. That the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) consider the possibility for land exchanges with the CIRI Village Corporations as provided for in the_Alaska Statutes and if such exchanges are practical, mitigating measures~the State DNR and the Native Corporations should initate immed.iate negotiations for an exchange. · 14. It has been inferred by FERC that a land .lease could be acceptable for certain features of the proj~ct, ie,: village and camp sites, Borrow and gravel pits. This could be a mitigating measure with-the CIRI Villages. 15. It will probably be necessary that the surface and subsurface estate of the inn~ndation area be purchased or exchanged with the CIRl Villages.

Sec. ll(a){3) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw deficiency lands from the nearest unreserved, vacant and unappropriated public lands·when the lands withdrawn by Sees. 11(a)(l) and 11(a)(2) of ANCSA are insufficient to permit a village or regional corporation the acreage it is entitled to select. Because of the unresolved eligibility status of Alexander Creek and Salamatoff,. currently in litigation, their applications were filed in four different methods to cover alternatives in the event both, either or neither Alexander Creek and Salamatoff were determined eligible. In ~976, each of the applications was considered for compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements of ANCSA. The selections filed did not comply with the mandatory selection requirements for compactness and contiguity and included lands not available for.selection. Decisions rejecting these applications for these reasons were issued on May 10 ~~rough 17 of 1976. These rejections greatly reduced the village entitlements under Sec. 12(a) of ANCSA. . A petition for reconsideration of the decisions was led with the Bureau of Land ftlanagement on May 26, 1976, and denied on June 7, 1976. On June 8 and 18, 1976, notices of appeal were filed by the villages.

The Alaska Native Claims Appeal Board remanded the decisions to the Bureau of Land Management on July 8, 1976, and suspended the appeals pending reconsideration and further action by the Bureau of Land Management. Since the validity of the selections filed by the eligible villages was questioned, and Alexander Creek and Salamato are still pending a determination on their eligibility, no conveyances of lands within the Sec. ll(a}{3) withdrawals ·Could be made without some remedial action. To resolve the problems of validity, the villages entered into a conveyance agreement with Cook ~nlet Region, ·Inc., on August 28, 1976, which provided that upon con= veyance of the deficiency lands to Cook Inlet Region, Inc., the surface estate of the lands under their Sec. 12(a) selections will be reconveyed by Cook Inlet Region, Inc., to the village corporations entitled thereto. (See Appendix B of agreement of August 31, 1976.) Cook Inlet Region, Inc., and the Secretary of the Interior entered into an agreement on August 31, 1976, wherein the Secretary of th.e Interior shall convey to Cook Inlet Region, Inc., the surface and subsurface estates of all public lands,. subject to valid existing rights, so described in Appendix A· to said agreement. Cook Inlet Region, Inc., shall then reconvey the surface estate of some of the lands to certain village corporations pursuant to the conveyance agreement dated August 28, 1976, between Cook Inlet Region, Inc., and the affected village corporations. On October 4, 1976, Public Law (P.L.) 94-456 (90 stat. 1934, · 1935) was passed in which Sec. 4 amended ANCSA to authorize the Secretary of the Interi.or to convey lands under application for selection by village corporations within Cook Inlet Region to Cook Inlet Region, Inc., for reconveyance by the region to such village corporations, such conveyances constituting a portion of their Sec. 12(a) entitlement. On June 28, 1977, Cook Inlet Region, Inc., filed selection application AA•13358 under the provisions of Sec. 12(a) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement P..ct of December 18, 1971 (85 Stat. 688, 701; 43 u.s.c. 1601, 1611), as amended by sec. 4 of P.L. 94-456 (90 Stat. 1934, 1935). Upon the conveyance of these lands to Cook Inlet Region, Inc., the Sec. 12(a) selection applications of the above-named village cornorations for the lands involved, and serialized as P..P.-6685-D, &~-6707-F, AA~8485-B, and AA-8489-B, are considered as rejected and idll be removed from the official land status records for the lands conveyed.

Paul indicated·that the temporary facilities, suchas con- struction' camps, do not have to be within the project boundaries al- though it does not adversely affect the license to include them within the bbundafy. Pa~l did not see any problem in changing the construction plan or the.construction camp layout or location during the licensing process ..

This would include access alternatives, transmission corridor alternatives, alternative project flow regimes, etc. Richard take note. 3. The plan for preparation of the license application exhibits, with the exception of Exhibit "E", offered by Acres was generally acceptable. The plan allows for FERC and Power Authority review and genera)ly i·ncl udes some float time in case of emergency. Dave Willett assured us that sufficient Acres resources would be made available to comply with tbe plan as proposed. Acres was requested to prepare a plan~ including personnel responsibilities arid scheduling, for selection of the transmission corridor from Watana to the Intertie. This wtll be undertaken as soon as the access plan is determined. Acres was also requested to prepare a plan, including personnel responsibilities and schedule, leading to the decision on the project operation scheme. Both of these items, the transmission corridor selection and the decision on project operation, are essential ingredients to the timely preparation· of license application exhibits. Dave Wozniak is responsibl~ for insuring that these two items are provided by Acres and the schedules complied with. 4. Acres will provide the Power Authority with a list of docu- ments that will accompany the license application, along with the required number of copies. The Power Authority, under the lead of Dave, will set aside those required documents and prepare them for shipment when required. 5. In a meeting with Don Giampoli, FERC review of draft license application documents was discussed. FERC is very willing to offer such a review, John Lawrence will follow up on this matter with Ron Corso in the near future. The scheduling of draft documents for review should be coordinated by Phil Hoover with Paul Carrier for all items and also with Mark Robinson for Exhibit 11 E11 items. Both the Division of Hydropower Licensing under Corso and the Division of Environmental Analysis under Edson are requiring coordination by the applicant. Neither entity seems. willing to let the other be the primary contact. As a result, we will have to be very careful to keep both sides informed and try not to step on either 1 s toes. ' 6. Acres will provide the access decision paper on August 16, 1982 for immediate distribution to the Board of Directors of the Power Authority. Richard Fleming is charged with insuring that Acres is provided copies of all letters from resource agencies just as rapidly as possible upon receipt. Dave has a similar responsibility for letter·s from Native land owners and engineering firms. 7. Acres will present their plan for the preparation of the sections of Exhibit "E" on or about August 20, 1982. Richard Fleming and Robert Mohn, as a minimum, should. attend this presentation. We decided after some discussion that letters would be sent to each agency in the very near future requesting agency comment and guidance in preparing mitigation plans for various aspects of the Susitna project.

Guests: Phil Hoover, Acres American· Incorporated Jack Lobdell., Consultant The Cultural Resources Program Manager, Don Follows, opened the meeting at 9:10a.m. in Room 227. of the. Holiday Inn, Anchorage.· After the introductions, the point was made how critical the cultural resources are to the hydroelectric project schedule. ·Compliance with Section 106. of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, E'xecutive Order 11593 and Title 36, Part 800, Code. of Federal Regu- lations and related. laws direct the process .for Cultural Resources investiga- tion and mitigatiori planning~ · · Dr. Dixon presented a synopsis of the field work which has been completed and reported on over the past th,ree field seasons. To date, about 50 percent of the total project area has been surveyed. Of special interest is the . . 1 ocation of. four tephras which provide dating references for the artifacts recovered. It is hoped that the cultural· chronology of the region can be for .the first time established. · · · Dr~ Dixon explained that iM his approach to ~itigation planning the term "potentia 1 impacts" had been deve 1 oped to address those sites outside the adversely effected areas. This thi.rd category allows for a more flexible . means by which to account for the unexpectedly large number of sites recorded .I . I I , I ,J ' l I I · .. , l 01 J CULTURAL RESOURCES -.2 (167) to date. Potential impacts will not require systematic testing. but should be monitored from time to time by those appropriate land managers. Dr. Sharrock (NPS} asked at what point the Advisory Counci 1 on Historic Preservation should become involved in the project. The information that both Acres and the APA had received in separate meetings with FERC in. Washington, D.C. was that FERC would not contact the council until the basic reconnaissance was completed within two more seasons of estimated work. If this is so~ serious scheduling problems arise with FERC requiring the Cultural Resources field survey to be completed in one field season. The Alaska summer is only 2.5 months long. The project size and remoteness introduce unique conditions under which a large workforce can become less~ efficient because of support logistics required. Based on his many years of Alaska experience, Dr. Dixon felt it would be unrealistic to expect completion in one yea·r. It was the group consensus that two years would be best. Another significant factor in attempting to complete the work in one field season is the Alaska Power Authority fiscal year which begins July 1. Unless funds are available at present time to launch the spring 1983 workforce, the goal will be difficult to attain because of the Universityns administrative procedural delays in hiring employees. Dr. Fleming said that a decision on the matter will be made by the end of January. In summary, the group consensus seemed to favor a two year survey program as outlined in the mitigation plan, and the early '(if possible) involvement of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation so that eligibility determina- tion for the National Register can begin in a manner which satisfies the FERC scheduling concerns. In a prior meeting with APA and the subcontractor on the 29th. the mitigation plan was discussed. Because of final editing of the mitigatjon plan in Buffa 1 o, New York. by the APA, the previous goa 1 of seeking approva 1 from the State Historic Preservation Officer was not requested at the November 30th meeting~ Numeri ca 1 differences in reported data are a source of conflict . between APA and the University of Alaska Museum scientists. Dr. Fleming and Hayden will resolve the conflict in separate meetings prior to January 15th. The potential impacts on cultural resources from the recreation plan develop- ments also need to be determined prior to the final draft. In a third meeting involving Cultural Resources, Mr. Gary Lolly and Mr. John Robinson of Harza-Ebasco were requested by Or. Fleming to meet with Dixon and Smith to discuss the magnitude and project logistics required for a one year survey completion and to make them aware of the program needs in general. Dr. Dixon will revise his budget to provide the option of completing work in. one year. The meeting with FERC in December will provide more direction for the APA management decision. lj u [j "[I o·· ·o d· . .. r '0. o· 0 0 ... · o·· o· 0 0 D. 0 .0. 0 ~: I ' }j CULTURAL RESOURCES - 3 l ; ..

It was questioned as to whether or not CIRI is subject to Section 14C of ANSCA regarding reconveyance of lands to· the villages. 4 •. Discussion occurred regarding induced land use changes resulting from public pressure to provide increased access» i.e.ll potential of fishermen·wanting improved access to Portage Creek. 5. Concern was expressed about the compatability of the proposed access plan with the Denali Scenic Highway plan. -Discussion related to potential recommendations of the ongoing Denali Scenic Highway study. The report will need to·be adopted by the Land Use Council before being released. 6. It was suggested that an assessment should be conducted on the long term economics value of having a more appealing access road. 7. A suggestion was made that a land use committee be established. The potential of having the Power Authority participate on the Mat Su land use planning team was discussed as ~n option. 8. Locally a request was made for a new substation at Cantwell as part ·of supplying construction power to the site. 9. It was identified that additional assessment of land use change at the· community level will be required. 10. It was mentioned that Native concerns should be presented in the FERC license application ~ 11. The Natives are not making further plans on their 1 oads unti 1 definitive project requirements are received.

Questions were asked regarding FERC policy on location of facilities off.;site. FERC is in agreement that~ as in this case» when recrea ... tion resources are off-site and not at the reservoirs, it is accept- able to develop off-site facilities. State Parks is in agreement. APA stated their position is to. a) take advantage of project facilities (roads & reservoirs), b) be responsive to landowners (avoid trespass)D c) direct use away from sensitive fish, wildlife and archaeologic res~urces. 2. Why is an expansion of Brushkana campground recommended? The need r has. been discussed a] ready by BLM and it appears in their management plan. The. project will increase demand for camping along the Denali Highway and this is a logical location. It will also keep some. auto traffic from penetrating the project area. BLM w.ill manage the area, and BLM· and APA will enter into a memorandum of understanding regarding costs. 3. State Parks Department is pleased with the plan as presented and confirmed that it is in agreement with the state-wide·recreation plan "DNR supports the p1an 11 • State will open a new trail along Curry Ridge line. from Coal Creek to Troublesome Creek, in 1983. They would like EDAW to consider adding three whistlestops. consisting of small campsites and possibly shelter cabins, at Gold Creek, Curry Ridge and Indian River. 4. Is a full range of recreation facilities provided at Watana Village and are facilities provided for other than rugged hikers? Yes, extensive recreation faciliti-es and activities are included in the plan for the village. Then is a full ·range of. recreation opportu- nities provided in the recreation plan, from driving and pull-offs along the road, to a visitor center with educational exhibits, to rugged hiking. 5. There are no improved trails in Denali National Park. Why does State Parks want improved trails here? Brushing out and hardening will be done only where necessary (e.g., in close-in forested areas). In further out open areas, rock cairns may be all that is necessary. 6. Concern was mentioned about Caribou kills on the Denali access road. The report recommends lower design speed and lower profile for that road (Section 8, Aesthetics). Caribou kills are not known to be a problem on the Denali Highway now. The Denali Highway presently has an AADT of 50 vechicles; Parks Highway, 200. The project is projecting 20 truck trips/day. Worker travel will most likely be regulated. While no firm traffic projections on the Denali access road are available, it wi~l be much lower than the Parks Highway today and lower than the Denali Highway at that time. Recreation traffic will be limited primarily to July, August and September. _,; I I ~ 0 D· D o···· 0 :0; 0 D 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 COMMENTS RECEIVED WORKSHOP ON RECHEATION = cont ... 7.

JH -Some plant species occur only in wetlands. Many, however, occur in both wetland and upland areas. Then you have to look at the other criteria. RS -In order to identify procedures and criteria for wetland mapping~ we need to know if the Corps accepts Cowardin for Section 404 permitting. TR -We accept and use Cowardin, but it is not always sufficient for Section 404 decisions. Often the USCE jurisdictional boundaries are different from the wetland boundaries. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps are at a good seale for large projects. However, we often need soi 1 ,. data because all three parameters (f1o.oding, hydrophytes, and hydric soil) are necessary to define USCE wetlands. The Corps a·1so needs hydrologic data to know how a given wetland ties into the watershed. RF -The huge scale of the project area (over 60,000 acres) makes it difficult to map. How much sampling would be necessary? TR -Sampling areas can be representative of other areas. Maps are on.ly needed of impact areas: roads, borrow sites, camp sites~ etc. No wetlands maps of the impoundment areas are needed. JH -For USFWS, you do need wetland maps of the impoundment area. RF-No need for soils maps of the impoundment. JH-Slopes should not be arbitrarily excluded from wetland categories • . Larger scale color infra-red photography should have been used. In the Tanana River basin, USFWS is using the Viereck and Dyrness classification system and a wetlands modifier to map the area. The resulting map is easy to convert to the Cowardin classification system. The water ·regime modifiers in Cowardin's system are especially useful to USC E. RS -Remapping of vegetation wi 11 be done to Leve 1 3 and beyond for moose browse vegetation types. RF -For most areas. we have v·egetation maps and slope is available from contour maps. Might need more soil work. TR -Once we have maps of the vegetation, hydrology, and project impacts, we' 11 be able to see where more data such as soil types is necessary.

Anchorage 277-2134 RS introduced the meeting. He discussed the ambiguity of the wetlands classification system used in previous mapping. The goal of this meeting was to come up with a practical method. of defining and mapping wetlands to facilitate Army Corps of Engineers·(USCE} permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and possibly Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, and to aid facility siting. LGL is looking into the possibility of incorporating wetlands mapping as part of the vegetation re-mapping program. · MR presented a summary of' wetlands work that has been done to date. Some work w.;ts done to characterize aquatic vegetation -of ponds in the project area. That work has been presented as part of Chapter 3 in Exhibit E. Wetlands mapping was done using the Cowardin classification system of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Two sets of maps were produced. One, at a scale of 1:24,000~ consists of 7·maps of the two impoundment areas4 The other. a set of 3 maps at a scale of 1:63,000, mapped alternative access routes. Vegetation maps of the same scale were used as base maps. A system for converting Viereck and Oyrness vegetation classes to Cowardin vegetation classes was developed {see Table 46, Phase I Report, Plant Ecology). Using Cowardin's definition of wetlands, all wet herbaceous. all shrub, and all forest vegetation-types were mapped as potential wetlands. A subjective judgment of slope was made to eliminate steep, well-drained areas. No re-interpretation of the imagery or ground truthing was done. JH, when asked how USFWS maps wetlands, replied that they use aerial photography, following the Cowardin system, look for one of three characteristics: flooding, hydrophytes, or hydric soils. ·'-· 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 WETLANDS MEETING - 3 RF -Some soil maps exist, though I don't know their scale or adequacy. RS-The Soil Conservation Service has not mapped all of the Susitna area. Several questions still need to be answered: 1) Appropriate fevel of detail of vegetation mapping to be usefu 1 for wetlands classification? 2) What soil parameters are important to USCE? JH -Even Level 4 of the Viereck and Oyrness system doesn't allow direct conversion to wetland categories. Often, other data are needed. TR -Groundtruthing will be very useful. The USCE personnel who will be responsible for permitting should go a long. RF -What time of year is best for ground truthing? TR -Anytime during the growing season. RS -The people doing the vegetation mapping will be working on the ground truthing next summer. JH -With a group of people who are familiar with the area, we should be able to sit down with the USCE and a wetlands map and decide which areas need USCE permits and which areas are marginal and naed ground-checking. RS -Is it proper procedure to involve USFWS and USCE in the preliminary process and ask you to review drafts? JH -I'd be glad to work with you. TR -Yes, certainly, we prefer it that way. BB -Have you discussed the types of permits required? They are: Section 404 -all waters of the U.S. Section 10 -navigable waters -below Devil Canyon. U.S. Coast Guard -navigable waters -south of Portage Creek. TR -The USCE definition of navigable waters may not be the same as other agencies. If Section 10 jurisdiction hasn't been taken yet by USCE, then it wi 11 not be. RS -We need to alter the approach to vegetation mapping to be sure to distinguish wetlands.

The borrow areas for the access road have not been finalized, but some potential borrow areas have been indicated. RF -Those potential borrow areas aren 1 t likely to change much. RS -What should be included in FERC application? I would suggest: 1) Wetland maps already prepared. 2) Discussion of their preparation and coverage. 3) Plans to rectify problems. 4) Revised maps coming later. {The new maps can be submitted as supplements when they are done). JH -I would be concerned about including the old maps. TR -Could you modify the old maps by double-checking them with some aerial photography? RF -Might be possible, but probably not by February 15. JH It would only take 3-4 days to map wetlands in the whole area (impoundments only). The cartographic work, however, would take awhile. From the slides (John Hayden's talk on Monday), upland wetland areas looked fairly easy to define. RS -We want to confirm to FERC that we are handling wetlands thoroughly. We should list soil features that will be supplied to USCE. TR -USCE needs soil profiles, from the litter layer down to ground water, depth to.ground water, chroma, mottling, gleying, soil type, location of soi 1 pits. Primary interest is in the root zone, the top 18 11 -24". We would be-glad to work with any field personnel for a few days to explain the USCE requirements and sampling methods. TR -A few days work should give us a fairly good jurisdictional map. JH -The first step would be a wetlands map; regulatory wetlands will be a subset of that. TR -Final COE regulations are expected by December 15. Our jurisdiction could change. OM -JH might be interested in talking to Dr. Talbot who did some vegetation sampling in the Susitna basin several years ago. 0 [] WETLANDS MEETING -5 0 0 0 0 0 d d IT n ;)11 AR - I would like to clarify the timing -the vegetation maps will be drawn up. first, so there wi 11 be no new maps by February 15. · Would the new wetlands map be ready by June? RS -The vegetation and wetlands mapping will take all spring. We hope to have the preliminary maps by June 30. · Ground truthing will be done during the summer, then the final maps will be drawn up. FERC has stated that they will welcome any new data or maps after the June 30 submitta 1. RS -To summarize our agenda: 1) Get together with Jon Hall and Ted Rockwell to identify appropriate level of detail for vegetation mapping. 2) Clean up.previous work using aerial photography. 3) Prepare discussion of mapping, past and future, for February 15 submitta 1. 4) Coordinate with USCE to get soils data. 5) Summer ground truthing. 6) Fall: final maps available. TR -When do you expect to need the first USCE permit? RS -For building the access road. l MG Access road construction is scheduled to begin spring 1985. TR-After the final maps are available in late fall 1983, there will still be time for further field work in the summer of 1984. If construction begins before 1985, then all permit fieldwork has to be done next summer. RS -There may be wetlands permits required for test drilling and other pre-construction field activities that are planned for next summer. TR -If so, they should be identified this winter to avoid any permitting delays. BB -There will be a major staging area around Cantwell. widening the Denali Highway, and a transmission line from Cantwell to Watana. These activities may also need permits.

Route Modifications/Finalized Alignments Ln the past week both the access .road and transmission· line have undergone minor route modifications. . The .finalized . routing for· each is given on. the enclosed full sized_ 1 inch to 1 mile mg,p dated December. 1982~ and ·titled 11 Proposed Access Plan and Transmission· Corridor.10 . These> plans supercede al T previous maps and are to be used for the FERC ·lic.ense final draff. The modifications made since. the last set of plans was issued are:·. (a) Transmission line: An extra bend in the transmission line . has been. introduced in the Swtmmi ng Bear Lake area .. The · purpose ofthis change was to (lvoid siting towers on the steep · ·hillside•immediately adjacent to the. access road •. · .. The al terdtiave was to eros s the road twice and · locate the l.i nes between the road and the 1 ake. However. by keeping to the north (uphill) side of the road visual and aesthet.ic impacts.· have:be~n minimized. (b) Access· road: The high level suspension bridgE! downstream of Devi.l ··Canyon has recently been redesigned. The revised location of the approach roads and bridge is .reflected in the ·above map. · The ·a 1 ignment of the road between· .the · Dena 1 i Highway and Wataria has bee'n mod.ified between Milepost (MP} 24 and· MP · 30. The reasoning behind this was to ··eliminate iJpproximately 3 miles of diffic'ult sidehill cutting .around the drainage immediately. west of Deadman Mountain, (it is likely.· . that erosion related problems. \'IOUld occur with the prior alignment}. To alleviate concerns. about. crossing Deadman . Creek it has been decided tci construct a bri.dge instead of a culvert, ·and thereby ensu·re adequate fish passage .. 2.

Watana carnp (41.6 miles) follows.terrain and soil types which, :for the most .part, allow construction using side· borrow techniques. This technique results in· minimum .. disturbance to areas .· away ·from the . alignment by confining road construction activities to .a narrow strip each ·side of the finished roadway:. The borrow material required to form · the road surface is excavated from trenches directly alongside ttie rei ad. as s.hown. in sketch SK R001 · attached. This sketch illustrates the · construction pr.ocess ·from the first sfep of stripping away the overburden. to ... the: final step. of · rehabi 1 i tati ng · the slopes. Careful phasing of the various construction . stages allows . all stripping~ excavation; road. ·construction,.backfilling and revegetating to behandled . within the limits of the .trenCh· excavations, thus limiting .disturbance to an area 50 feet to 70 feet each side of the road·centerline. The advantages of this type of. construction over conventional end dumping techniques are: --. . . . . . ' -the' fini~hed .road section is such. that the crown of the road iS only 2 ft to3 ft abov~ original ground level compared .with 5 ft to 6 ft .for an end dumped section. Le. the section presents less of a physical and .visual barrier to migrating wildlife. · · All borrow material required for the end dumping technique is obtained from borrow pits away from the alignment, whereas b~rrow excavation and construction activity for the side borrow technique is confined to a narrow strip each side ofthe roadway, thus minimizing dis'turbance to vegetation and wi.ldlife habit at. · (fii) Watana damsite to De~tl. Cany6n damsite: The connecting road between Watana and Devil Canyon generally crosses good soi 1. types with bedrock at or near the surface, and will .be constructed largely by sidehill cutting. Erosion ·and thaw settlement should not be a problem· since the terrain has gentle to moderate slopes which will allow roadbed construction. without deep cuts. However, where it is necessary to minimize the. extent of. cutting and fllling, the design standards wi 11 be reduced to those applicable to a 40 ! .·.·.! 0 0 0 o. 0 0 n .. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Page - 4 4. mph design speed .. The .affected areas are the approaches· to some. of. the stream crossings, the_ most significant being those of the high level bridge. crossing the Susitna R1ver downstream of Devil Canyon. With careful balancing of cut and fill the amount of borrow material· required from borrowpits will be minimized •. (d) High level bridge at Devil Canyon Recently a more refined engineering· design· for the high level suspension bridge downstream of Devil . Canyon· has been developed; with the following changes resulting: . .. · ( i) · The bridge is located approximately 800 .ft upstream of the previou~ location. -. . . ( ii) The deck elevation .of the bridge is· • 1420 ft compared to-EL. 1550 ft previously. · ·· (iii) The overall length of the bridge 'is now 1790 ft, 810ft ·less than the previous design. Similarly;the main span has .been reduced 350 ft s() that it is now 1250-. fL ·• A drawing 'of the. bridge is attached as ·sketch number SK· R002. _· These changes have resulted in a m()re economic sol~t-ion of crossing the Susitna ,River_ at Devil Canyon. The alternative means of making the river crossing· is. by utilizing a low level crossing, however for the reasons outlined below a bridge is . considered superior~ · Essentially-the travel distance from cine side. of theSusitna . River to the .other is less.than one mile with a.bridge, whereas · if the switchback road .do.wn· each side of the Canyon and· a low· leve 1 crossing . is used the travel distance would be approximately: eight miles. Whei'J taking the . seven year construction· period of the Devil Canyon dam into account, and also the· amount of construction. traffi-c crossing the Sus.itna River, the cost savings of a bridge in terms of time, fuel, and equipment renta_l_ are such that the capital cost of building a 1790 ft .long suspension bridge is justified. -Other advantages · of a bridge are that; ( i) fuel spillages are less likely· ( ii) traffic congestion along the switchback road would be -lessened, Railroad Extension The railroad extension wi 11 be designed in accordance with the following design parameters. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .o 0 0 D 0 Page - 5 :Maxi mum grade 2. 5% Maximum curvature 10° Design loading E-72 A drawing of the typical railroad' cross section is enclosed as' .sketch SK R003.

Permitting Agencies -This should include the Natives Item 11. Page 37, Item 1. Other than using the area for hunting, fishing~ berry picking, there. are no Native American Alaskans living within the project boundary and only one Native family at Gold Creek, 12 miles from the Devil Canyon dam site. The Native village of Cantwell has approximately 72 Native inhabitants and approximately the same number of .non Native inhabitants though the community was identified in 1971 as a Native village by the Department of Interior Under the Alaska Native Land Claims Act. This community as a whole is still unincorporated. This community is approximately some 60 miles away via the proposed access road to the Watana camp site. The residents of Gold Creek have no commercial power or local generating facilities whatsoever, the village and community of Cantwell have no commercial power at present though various entities do have privately owned diesel generators, and some residences have no power systems at all. The community of Cantwell is somewhat separated politically. THe Native and non Native community operate from a non-profit status more or less seeking the same goals, but accomplishing these goals separately. This could be as a result of an unincorporated community and the large land ownership of land by the Cantwell Natives and their regional corporation, Ahtna, Inc. There are various commercial facilities in the community of Cantwell for its size, grocery stores, bars, two lodges, railroad yard, community center and some small contracting servicesg where Gold Creek has no such activity for the total population of seven inhabitants. The cost of living for both of these communities is hfgher than Anchorage or Fairbanks and mostly related to transportation cost and the remoteness and small populations of these two communities. The overall cultural settings for these two communities has been a subsistence life style with mining, trapping, and guide services as their prime sources of revenue. Though this is rapidly changfng due to land ownership patterns 9 the Ahtna region and the Cook Inlet region wi 11 eventua 11y own over three mi 11 ion acres of 1 ands in the Railbelt area of which approximately 553 square miles of this land is in or adjacent to the Susitna· Hydroelectric project and the Anchorage/Fairbanks IntP.rtie. The State of Alaska is also disposing of largP. amounts of state land to private ownership in the same vicinity. These new largeprivate holdings do not have to allow trespassers on their lands for subsistence users or open their lands to recreational uses for hunting, fishing~ etc., trappers, guides and miners could ~e held in trespass on these vast 2 J J 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 acreages by the private land owners Natives and non Natives alike whereby totally affecting existing cultural settings regardless of the Susitna project. Page 37, Item 2. Item 2 is somewhat answered in Item 1. (may need more data from the 1980 census). Page 37 9 Item 9. Ahtna Inc. is the-Native reoional corporation located at Copper Center, Alaska for the village of Cantwell. (a profit corporation). THere is no relationship between the Ahtna .Inc. region and the Cook Inlet Region, Inc. other than they were both established under the. Alaska Native Land Claims Act (ANCSA) on a geographical basis within the state and are neighboring regions. The Cook Inlet Native Association and the Copper River Native Association are separate non profit arms from the appropriate regions to manage the social,·educational9 health and welfare problems of all Natives in their respective regions though not controlled in any way by the profit regional corporations, Page 37, Item 12. The largest impacts the project will most likely create to the two regional corporations will be the infringements of their lands as the largest adjacent land owners comprises 553 square miles of land. The Cook Inlet Region and its villages owns or will own 315 square miles of land surrounding and abutting the two dam project~ they do not physically reside on the lands they do represent some 6,200 shareholders who own these lands. If access is denied to them to get to their lands during the construction of the project this could curtail their development by as much as twenty years, creating undue hardship for them when there lands unlike Lower 48 Indians is taxable twenty years from date of conveyance. Other impacts would be destruction, trespass and other land disturbances created by the project especially recreation uses. The Native community of Cantwell on the other hand would have siJTlilar land problems but not as severe as Cook Inlet lands. The project would most likely have more positive aspects to Cantwell then negative as at present Cantwell being unincorporated is presently limited in services and employment opportunities. The project through mitigation could do more for Cantwell than what they presently have, Cantwell does not have any tax base to rely on and receives most of its support from federal and state funding. (See item allowed for funding). · 3 J a J J J J D 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 t> Page 38~ Item 25. Ahtna Corporation and the Cook Inlet Corporation both have the capability to provide camp services and the management construction to develop land for housing anywhere in the State of Alaska. Page 39, Item 26. There is sufficient lands at Cantwell to house construction crews for a temporary camp, or new construction. THere is insufficient adequate housing or transient accommodations at present to house a large influx of construction workers. Page 39, Item 31. There is no question that the non Native population will drastically increase and could increase to about 300% over the Native popu1_ation though both the Native and non Native community has expressed their acceptance to this'change. Page 40, Item 46. See page 3_9 Item 26 response. Ahtna Inc., presently own and manage a large lodge and restaurant at Glennallens Alaska and have~ joint venture with the village of Knik a Native village corporation of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. to provide camp services for the present Susitna studies. The Cook Inlet Region Inc. presently has a joint venture with CIRI Holmes and Narver to design and construct camp facilities both temporary and permanent. Cook Inlet Region also has the capabilities to construct homes .and do provide camp services for the North Slope oil fields through another joint venture. Both Regional Corporations separately or jointly have the competency and capability to handle enterpreneurial housing activity. · Page 40, Item 50. In the proposed rail line the likelihood of development would come from the Cook Inlet Natives as they will own most of the land on the new rail spur~ There is no contemplated housing development proposed or planned for this segment. Other land improvements will probably be dictated by the demands the rail link would need as ongoing operations for the rail, the Native land owners are open to any potential this may have for them. Page 40, Item 51. Conflicts will exist even withbut the project as stated in previous comments subsistence uses, guiding, trapping and mining will - virtually come to a standstill because of the restrictions that could be placed on the large land area owned by the two Native 4 II ! .! ·I ,j J J J J 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 regional corporations and their villages. The present uses by these current land users is very small, probably less than 50 people are involved in one way or the other, in the project area boundaries it probably less than 10 people who actually mine, trap, guide or use this land for subsistence. · The Cook Inlet Region and its villages are open to any alternative needs for their lands, to support project purposes preferably on a land lease use basis or land exchange.

THe Alaska Power Authority will do everything possible within the law to accommodate this desire· for employment. · Page 41, Item 57. Ahtna Inc. does not receive any revenue sharing from the state as it is a corp for profit for its regional members. Cantwell village corp is. a non profit arm, the village council and the non Native community arm has received funding for schools and other community services from the federal and state governments. · To be eligible for revenue sharing the community as a whole would have to incorporate under the laws of the state. Page 41, Item 58. There are no known guides that are Native from Cantwell or Gold Creek. Subsistence uses for fish and wildlife could be disrupted especially if restrictions are placed by Fish and Game during the phase of construction for access to the Natives. Though subsistence uses in the project boundary at present do not exist because of remotenes5 9 accessibility and distance from the Native residence. Page 41, Item 59. There are less than half dozen guides in the area of the studies. Most guides cater to big game hunting rather than trophy or sports fishing though Stephen Lake does offer pote"tial for such activity it is not a prime _source for revenue for the guides. Page 41, Item 60. ·Subsistence catch for Natives or non Natives does not now exist between the two dam projects and.very little subsistence use by both groups exist on the adjacent lands.

It would have to be a policy established that company employees would not be allowed to hunt or fish during working hours. It would be unconstitutional under state law to prohibit employees on their own time from hunting and fishing unless the whole state was also prohibited from the same area with the exception of subsistence users. · Page 52, Item 21. The most likely parties would be the Alaska Power Authority~ the Native land owners, National Park Service, and the State Parks Division along with.the Alaska Power Authority contractor to study such activity. Page 52, Item 24. THe level of recreation would most likely be controlled by State · Division of Parks and the Alaska Power Authority, but the level and expansion could be dictated by the adjacent land owners9 CIRI Natives. The Natives would also dictate to some extent the policy created for recreation, where trails and other uses crosses their lands. Page 55, Item 1. Existing land values in the study area has not been established though nearby the state has had recent land disposals to place some value on surface ownership at Gold Creek and Indian River disposals. The land to be acquired has not been determined for value by any federal, state or Native agency to date. The transmission corridor has been .recently determined and finalized in most cases.
