2. EMF Calculations
Nuvista Light & Power, Co. – Donlin Creek Mine
Power Supply Alternatives Feasibility Study Draft 9/19/03
Ground level magnetic field strengths, associated with the single pole
Structure Type B, were calculated using a simplified form of the equations
contained in the article titled, “Accurate Formulae of Power Line Magnetic
Fields,” which is attached at the end of this appendix sub-section. Magnetic
field strengths, for both the 138 kV transmission circuit and the 13.8 kV
underbuild circuit were calculated separately and then added vectorally to
obtain the resultant magnetic field. Calculations assume a 150 degree phase-
shift between the 138 kV circuit and the 13.8 kV circuit. The results of the
calculations, with graphs, are contained in the subsequent pages.

In [1.2,3,4] the complex mDnben were p'e~ed as phasms to tep'eseDt the sinusoidal varyjng quantities. In this
paper, complex numbers are also used to represent the vectors in the traverse plane to the cooductors, where the
magnetic field is coosi~ This is possible if a system with two imaginary units is used. In [5] many
imaginary 1mits are used, reaching to systems of hypercomplex n~. So the innovation of this approach is
the simuItaoeous use of complex numbers to represent plane vectors and phason. After this rep-esentatioo the
magnetic field rotating vector is represented by a new set of numbers, named double complex numbers. These
numbers are a combination of the complex numbers repoeseDtiDg plane vectors with the complex numbers
representing sinusoidal varying quantities. The double complex numbers and their basic properties, from a
mathematical point of view, are briefly discussed in the AAJeDdix.
As to denotation bold letters are used for vectors, underlined letters for phasors am bold UIklerlined letters for
double complex numbers. Also small letters indicate iostaotaoeous values and capitalletteIS nos values.
Magnetic field calculation using double complex numbers2
Figme I shows the space arrangement of the
conductCI'S of a power line in relarion to the
xyz axes system The line route is considered
straight and parallel to the z-axis. The line
conductors are not straight ~t they are
sagged by their weight. The curve that is
dIawn by each conductm- at a span between
two sequential suspension points is known as
the caterJary curve. In order to simplify tile
calculations and the analysis of the magnetic
field produced by the line; the model of an
assembly of OOrizontal cooductm in z-axis
is used. This model is precise in the
prediction of the nmgoebc fields if the
conductm- sag is su.lll in comparison to the
span. A typical value for high voltage line
conductor sag is 10m for a span of 350m.

Figme 2 shows a trava-se section of a power line modelled as an assembly of three conduct(X"8 parallel to z-axis.
This section is actually the xy plane, where the conductors are shown as single points. The conductor k is caring

this case, two ~ies of the oomplex numben set is used the set Ci widi the imaginary unit i, and die set Cj widi
the imaginary Imit j (i 2 = -I, j2 = -I and i - j ). The set of double oomplex numbers D is the Cartesian product

This relation shows dlat die product of two double complex numbers is also a double complex number. Equation
(A-2) is used as a multiplication rule, allowing die axiomatic definition of double complex numbers as a
commu1ative ring.
Axiomatit: definition
Double complex numbers are ordered quadnJplets of real numbers with some operation roles. Considering the
quadruplets (a.b,c,d) aDd (a',b',c',d') w~ the .. b, c, d, a', b', c' and d' are real DUmbeN the roles for
equality, ~on are compment like and the multiplication role are defined as:
(..b,<;d) = (a',b',c'.d') <=> (a - a', b =b', c - c' add =d'
(a, b,c,d) + (a', b',c',d') = (a + a', b + b',c +c',d +d')(.4-4)
(..b,~,dXa',b',~',d') =
= (u'-1i»' -cc' +dd',ab' +~' -='-c)c',8C'-bd' +ca'-db',8d' +1.:' +cb' +-')
Defining 1=(1.0,0,0), i=(O,l,o,O) and j=(O,o,l,o), the pooduct ij oa:ID'8 ij=(O,o,o,I). Baaed on these
equalities, and considering dte product of any real m1mber r with (a,b,c,d) as r(a,b,c,d)=(m.rb,n:,rd) any
double complex number (a,b,c,d) may be written in the familiar fmm a+bi+cj+dij. The subset ofD for c =
0 and d = 0, isdte set Cj. Similarly, the subset ofB for b =0 and d = 0 is the set q. Further more, the subset ofD
for b =0, c = 0 and d = 0 is the set of the real nmnbers R. The defined operation rules are consistent with the
well known operatioos in the two sets of complex and the realnumhen C;, Cjand R.
Based on the roles for addition and muhiplication it can be easily derived that the set of double complex nwnbers
is a commutative ring (additioo is commutative: !. +!z =!2 +!., multiplication is commutative: !.!z =!Z!1 ,
addition is associative: !I +(!Z+!3)=(!. +!z)+!3' multiplication is associative: !1(!Z!3)=(!'!Z)!3'
ImIltiplication is distn"bubve with tespect to addition: !1 (!z +!3) = !1!Z +!, !Z' the zero element is the real
number 0: ! + 0 =! and the unitary e~t is the real number 1: !.l =!, where ! l' ! Z and L stand for
double complex numbers). That IM8IlS that tbe basic operatioo roles for double complex numbers addition and
multiplication an: the ~ as the koown ones (as for real numbers). So there is no need to ~morize special
operation roles. Also, there is no need to remember the multiplication role; it is enough to replace iz = -1 and j2 =
-1 where they appear.
Inversion of double complex numben
However, there is a significant difference between the set of double complex numbers and the sets of complex
aM real numbers. Double oomplex numbers is not a division system i.e. there are so~ double oomplex numbers
without an inverse (called non-ioverbble numbers). An inverse of a double oomplex number! is any double
complex number ~ for which the following relation is valid {!!!!. = 1. It can be proven that if !. bas an
inverse this is a unique double oomplex number. The cancellation low does not apply for non-inVerbble
93
D. TSANAKAS
G. FILIPPOPOULOS
D1Dnbers, i.e. if ! is a noo-invertlole numb«, equatioo !! =!! ~y be tme and for ! *!. This would be
impossible if ! had an inverse. So the expression II! is not valid, unless it is known that ! is invertible (for
example if it is a ~ or a oomplex number).
The magnitude of a double complex number
The magnitude I!:J of a double complex number! expressed in the fol1DS of (A-I) is a real number that occurs
according to the relations:
(.4-6)
This relation is consistent with the definitioo of tOO magoittlde of complex numbers.
A useful ~ for the calcuJa6oDofthe product of two oouble complex nUlDbeft !I aOO !2 is the following:
(..4-7)Kt!21=KII~1
However, this relarion is valid only if at least one of!l and !1 is a real number or a complex number in Ci or Cj
or a product of a complex number in Ci with a complex number in Cj.

Donlin Creek Transmission Lines
Pre-Design Cost Estimates
Reference:
We have completed our estimates of construction costs for the transmission line options
to serve the Donlin Creek Mine. In our June 10 letter we had estimated the 190 mile-long
transmission line from Bethel would cost approximately $140.42 million. This estimate
was based on using all steel H-frame structures outside Bethel with driven or grouted
pipe-pile foundations.
In our last meeting, you asked that the transportation costs not be included in the
estimate, and that our driven pile lengths be shorten by about 10 feet to better reflect pile
lengths used on other transmission projects. Making these revisions resulted in a cost
estimate of $133.14 million for the 138 kV transmission line. The estimated cost of the
substations and distribution lines remains unchanged from our June 10 letter. Their
combined cost is $13.78 million.
We looked at using steel X-towers with H-pile foundations and anchors in the lowland
area between Bethel and Kalskag. Using the same assumptions as the above estimate, i.e.
no transportation costs and reduced pile lengths, resulted in this estimate being $136.61
million. Our conclusion from this is that two H-pile foundations, two H-pile anchors, four
guys and a X-tower cannot beat the cost of two pipe piles and a H-frame.
We estimate $12.74 million can be saved if the stroctures between Kalskag and Donlin
Creek are direct buried instead of supported on pile foundations. The project estimate for
the all H-frame option thus becomes $120.40 million.
As an alternative to serving the mine from Bethel, we estimated the cost to build a D/C
line from Nenana to Donlin Creek. We have some serious concerns about the logistics of
building this line due to access, weather, environmental restraints, etc. We believe the
most likely scenario for building this line is via ice roads constructed from both Nenana

and Donlin Creek over several (we've estimated four) winters. Finding adequate water
sources along the route for the ice roads could be problematic. Setting up and operating
work camps along the route will also create some challenges. Our estimate is based on all
these logistic concerns being resolved favorably.
After re-evaluating the conductor size, we concluded that it should be of similar size as
the 138 kV NC options. Therefore our D/C estimate assumes the same fiber optic and
conductor size (Cardinal) as the NC options. Structure type for the D/C option is
assumed to be single shaft steel poles with either suspension insulators hanging from
davit arms or horizontal- V ee insulator assemblies. Loading criteria, average span lengths,
percentage of angle and dead end structures, and clearing requirements are assumed to be
similar to the NC options. We assumed two thirds of the foundations would be on driven
piles and the other one third would be direct buried.
Our estimate to construct the 385 mile-long D/C line from Nenana to Donlin Creek is
$246.5 million, or approximately $640,200 per mile. This estimate includes about $44
million for ice road construction and transporting materials along the ice roads. We have
not included any costs for NC to D/C conversions at either end of the line.
We've assumed at least half of the materials for the D/C line would be delivered to
Nenana and the remaining would be barged to Crooked Creek. Like the AlC options, the
barge costs are not included in our estimates. We estimate approximately 1,000 tons of
materials will need to be barged to Crooked Creek for the D/C option. For the AlC
options, approximately 1,200 tons of materials will be needed for the portion between
Bethel and Donlin Creek.
As with our previous estimates, our costs include a 15% planning-type contingency. They
do not include environmental studies, permitting, land acquisition, surveying,
engineering, or construction management costs. We have enclosed back up for our cost
estimates.

Reference:Donlin Creek Transmission Lines
Pre-Design Cost Estimate for 230 kV A.C. Option
We have estimated the cost to construct a 230 kV A.C.line from Nenana to Donlin Mine.
Our estimate is based on using steel H-frame structures. Like our D.C. estimate, two
thirds of the structures are assumed to be on pile foundations and the remaining structures
are assumed to be direct embedded. We have also assumed the same route, conductor
type, OPGW type, construction methods, and contingencies as were used on our D.C.
estimate.
Our estimate for the 385 mile-long, 230 kV A.C. line is $340.9 million, or approximately
$885,500 per mile.
The tonnage required to be barged to Crooked Creek for the 230 kV D.C. option is about
14,500 tons.
Attached is our estimate for the 230 kV D.C. option. If you have any questions, do not
hesitate to call.

DONLIN CREEK MINE PROJECT
SYSTEM STUDIES
1 Introduction
The Donlin Creek Mine Project is located in southwest Alaska. A transmission line interconnection at 138 kV is
proposed between the mine at Donlin Creek and the Bethel Power Plant in Bethel, a line length of approximately
190 miles. Between the Bethel Power Plant and the Donlin Creek Mine there are several villages, to be served
either directly off the 138 kV transmission line or from a tapped substation on the transmission line. Additionally, a
short interconnection from the Bethel Power Plant to the existing Bethel Utilities Diesel Power Plant is proposed,
and three single wire ground return (SWGR) feeders are proposed to serve several native villages in the region.
This report documents several system studies performed by Electric Power Systems, Inc. (EPS) for the proposed
Donlin mine project. These studies include power flow analyses, short circuit analysis, transient stability studies,
basic relaying schemes and costs, and suggestions and recommendations. The focus of this report is the 138 kV
transmission line feasibility and associated equipment. The studies represent the potential village loads as simply
loads on the transmission line, without operating characteristics of the lines to serve the villages.
The SWGR feeders were previously studied by EPS and were not modeled in detail in these studies, other than to
represent the feeder loads where interconnected to the proposed transmission system.
2 System Description
The proposed system consists of a new Bethel Power Plant, a new transmission line from the plant to the Donlin
Creek Mine, several 138 / 12.47 kV substations along the transmission line, a new 13.8 kV tie to the existing Bethel
Diesel Power Plant, and three Single Wire Ground Return (SWGR) feeders. Each of these components is
discussed below. Oneline diagrams for the proposed system, showing two different generation options, are shown
in Appendix 1.
The Bethel Power Plant consists of a main 13.8 kV bus with generation connected at 13.8 kV. Two generation
options were considered, labeled Coal-Fired and Combined Cycle on the attached onelines. The Coal-Fired
alternative consists of two 45 MW coal fired steam turbines and one 42 MW combustion turbine. The Combined
Cycle alternative consists of three 42 MW combustion turbines and one 25 MW steam turbine.
The Bethel Power Plant also consists of several transformers connected to the 13.8 kV bus, plus one feeder. The
transformers include two station service transformers rated at 13.8 / 4.16 kV, 7.5 MVA each, three step-up
transformers for the transmission line to the mine, rated at 13.8 / 138 kV, 40 MVA each, and two single phase
transformers for two of the SWGR feeders, rated 13.8 kV line-to-line / 80 kV line-to-ground, 7.5 MVA each. The
one feeder is an express feeder to the Bethel Utilities Diesel Power Plant, roughly 1.5 miles away. At the Diesel
Power Plant Substation, a three winding 13.8 /12.47 / 4.16 kV, 15 / 10 / 5 MVA transformer is proposed to tie the
express feeder into the existing Bethel system.
The proposed 138 kV transmission line is 190.6 miles long, 954 ACSR construction on X-frame structures for all but
the first 5.3 miles of the line. Along the length of the line are seven native villages to be interconnected at a voltage
of 12.47 kV using three phase 138 / 12.47 kV transformers. At Aniak substation, the proposed transformer is rated
at 1000 kVA. At the other six villages, the proposed transformer ratings are 500 kVA.
The preliminary Donlin Creek Mine design includes 138 kV and 13.8 kV buses, with two step-down transformers
rated at 138 / 13.8 kV, 40 MVA each. The transmission line interconnects to the mine through a 138 kV breaker

and bypass switch provided by the mine. The mine load is served by several 13.8 kV feeders. The mine includes
a SVC system on the 13.8 kV bus which regulates voltage and is supposed to reduce voltage sags associated with
both starting large loads at the mine and normal operations at the mine.
EPS was responsible for system analysis of the transmission system for mine loads of 55, 70, and 85 MW, and for
conditions with no mine load.
3 Power Flows
Power flows were run for the proposed system with mine loads of 0, 55, 70, and 85 MW. The loads throughout the
proposed system are shown in table 1 below, with the Donlin Mine load shown at 55 MW. System data for the
power flow models are attached in Appendix 1.

The power flow results are shown on the oneline diagrams in Appendix 2, and a summary of various parameters is
shown in Table 2 below. The initial power results indicated a need for additional voltage support along the 138 kV
transmission line during heavy mine loading periods. The size of the SVC to be provided at Donlin Mine was
unknown. Power flows with the mine load at 55 MW and only one SVC located at the mine showed low 138 kV
voltages and a 12.47 distribution voltage at Crooked Creek of 95.7% with full tap changer control, with a SVC
output of 31.7 MVAR (case 9 in Table 2). The SVC was set to regulate the 13.8 kV mine voltage to 1.0 per unit.
When the mine load increased to 85 MW, with only one SVC located at the mine, all voltages decreased with the
12.47 kV voltage at Crooked Creek decreasing to 88.5%, with a Donlin Mine SVC output of 81.5 MVAR (case 10 in
Table 2). Based on these results, we propose placing an additional SVC at Aniak which is roughly midway along
the transmission line. A bank of switchable capacitors at Aniak may also provide acceptable steady state voltages,
but a SVC provides better control of transient voltage, especially when controlling voltage during mine outages or
when energizing the line. This is discussed further in the section on transient stability results (below).

DONLIN CREEK MINE PROJECT
SYSTEM STUDIES
The majority of the power flow results shown in Appendix 2 include two SVC systems, one at Donlin Mine on the
13.8 kV bus and one at Aniak on the 138 kV bus. The Aniak SVC would normally be connected at a lower voltage
via a step-down transformer, but for study purposes, the SVC was shown connected to the 138 kV bus. Both SVC
systems were sized at -50 MVAR to +50 MVAR, regulating the bus voltage to 1.0 per unit. Actual SVC outputs are
shown on the power flow oneline diagrams and in Table 2 below. The maximum boost capacity of the SVC
systems, 50 MVAR each, is based on the power flow results with 85 MW of load at Donlin Mine.

The initial power flow results also showed a large power angle across the 138 kV line, from Bethel to Donlin mine,
for the larger mine load levels. The power angle across the 138 kV line is also shown in Table 2. Large power
angles between generation sources leads to classic stability problems. However, only a minimal amount of startup
generation is anticipated at the mine site, and is expected to be online only when starting the mine. Under this
condition, there would be small power transfers across the 138 kV transmission line, resulting in a small power
angle. As the mine load increases, the on-site generation is expected to be removed and load picked up across the
transmission line. This scenario should not result in stability problems associated with the large power angles.
However, EPS did run several power flows with series compensation added to the 138 kV line near Aniak. These
power flow results are also included in Appendix 2 and Table 2 (cases 5 through 8). A series compensation level of
50% was studied. When the series compensation is added, the power angle is reduced, and the MVAR support
required by the SVC systems is also reduced due to the series capacitors which add MVARs into the system.
These series compensation cases have been added to this report for completeness. EPS does not foresee the
need to add series compensation to the 138 kV transmission line, as discussed above.
Expected system losses are also included in Table 2. Transmission line resistance and the resulting losses vary
with ambient air temperature, wind conditions, and line loading. These studies used a maximum expected line
resistance value in the model, thereby yielding conservative or worst case loss totals. Actual losses should be
lower than the totals given in Table 2.

The calculated voltages on the 12.47 kV buses at the remote village substations are based on using typical
distribution transformer impedances (from American National Standard C57.12.10 and Industrial Power System
Handbook by Beeman) and based on using a transformer with LTC capability of ±10% tap. All distribution voltages
were regulated to the range from 99% to 101% voltage within available taps. Voltages could be improved further

SYSTEM STUDIES
by improving the load power factor, and / or adding distribution capacitors. The loads used in these studies are
worst case maximum peak scenarios, expected in the year 2040. The most significant voltage problem occurs at
Crooked Creek on the 12.47 kV bus. The power flow results indicate a need to provide some corrective action or
replace the transformer with a larger transformer if the mine load and Crooked Creek loads begin to approach their
maximum values studied.
Separate power flows were not run based on the two generation options. From a power flow standpoint, the
generation bus at Bethel, the 13.8 kV bus, is a swing bus and the number of generators connected to the swing bus
is irrelevant. The power flow solution distributes the real and reactive power requirements of the swing bus to
whatever generators are connected at the swing bus, based on initial MW output. One power flow case was run to
illustrate this. Case 11 in Table 2 has the combined cycle units running instead of the Coal Fired Generation
option. Note that the power flow results are identical to case 4 in Table 2, with only the generation dispatch being
different. However, different generation alternatives have an impact on both short circuit and transient stability
results.
It should also be noted that the power flows for a mine load of 85 MW, with the maximum substation loads, and the
assumed station service and Bethel loads shows a generation total in excess of the capacity of the Bethel Power
Plant using the coal fired generation alternative. The combined cycle generation alternative does have sufficient
generation to meet the proposed loads.
4 Short Circuit Analysis
The short circuit analysis was performed using the ETAP Powerstation software package. The power system
model is identical to the power flow model used in PSS/E, except for minor differences in load models. These
differences are insignificant to the short circuit calculations.
Short circuit results are included in Appendix 3. Three phase to ground and single phase to ground fault currents
were calculated at all appropriate three phase buses. Fault currents are not calculated for the SWGR feeders or
buses. Currents are calculated with all generation online. With any generation offline, the fault currents will
decrease. Fault currents in Appendix 3 are first provided for the coal-fired generation option, and then provided for
the combined cycle generation option.
5 Transient Stability Simulations
Transient stability simulations were conducted using the PSS/E software. Simulations included loss of generation,
loss of mine load, motor starting, and line energizing. Typical dynamics data from other generators of comparable
size were used for the proposed generating units at Bethel Power Plant. The dynamics data for the generators are
included in Appendix 4.
5.1 Loss of Generation
Transient stability case T1 represents a loss of the largest on-line unit at Bethel Power Plant. This outage was run
for the maximum load case, Donlin mine at 85 MW. The transient stability results are shown in Appendix 4, with a
case name of “T1-mine85”. In order to survive this outage, load shedding must occur somewhere in the system.
For study purposes, load shedding relays were placed at the Donlin mine, in 3 stages. Each stage sheds 25% of
the mine load, with stages set at 59.0, 58.7, and 58.4 Hz. These settings are somewhat arbitrary, but show that a
unit loss can be survived with appropriate load shedding. Load may be shed on the distribution system or at the
- 5 -
DONLIN CREEK MINE PROJECT
SYSTEM STUDIES
mine. The only significant issue is to have enough load on load shedding to exceed the largest anticipated loss of
generation.
Transient stability results for case “T1-mine85” show a frequency decay to just below 58.4 Hz, with all three stages
of load shedding picked up. The frequency then recovers to 60 Hz. Simulations also show a frequency control
problem when attempting to restore frequency exactly to 60 Hz. This appears to be problem with the simulation
software when modeling several units at the same plant, all in isochronous control. This is modeled by setting the
machine droop to near zero, but creates a hunting problem in the software. We believe this hunting which appears
near the end of the simulation to be a non-issue, caused solely by the simulation.
5.2 Loss of Mine Load
The transient stability simulation for the complete loss of the mine load (case T2) represents a 138 kV breaker
opening at Donlin Mine. The mine load is lost along with the Donlin SVC. Simulations were run at both 55 and 85
MW of mine load, and are shown in Appendix 4. Simulations show a transient frequency rise to around 61.5 Hz for
a mine load of 55 MW, and 62.7 Hz for a mine load of 85 MW, returning to nominal in 11 seconds. The Aniak SVC
regulates the 138 kV line voltage very quickly back to near 1.0 per unit. The transient frequency rise is significant
due to the large percentage of total system load residing at Donlin Mine. Remedial action schemes have not been
studied to reduce the over-frequency conditions, but a remedial action trip of one or more Bethel units would
significantly reduce the over-frequency magnitude. Alternately, staggered over-frequency relaying of the Bethel
units could be used to trip generation without a transfer trip signal from the mine. Acceptable over-frequency
conditions for the generating units should be discussed with generator / turbine suppliers.
5.3 Motor Starting
Transient stability simulations were run for a motor starting condition at Donlin Mine (case T3). From preliminary
mine load estimates, the largest single load appears to be the Sag Mill, sized at 9.12 MW. It may be unrealistic to
expect the total Sag Mill load to be a single motor, started under full load, but this case was used to define the
worst case motor starting scenario. An induction motor was used to represent the Sag Mill load, and was started
under full load. Typical induction motor parameters were used for the model.
The initial simulations showed a prolonged under voltage condition during the motor start. A subsequent simulation
was run using a reduced voltage start for the motor, at 60% nominal voltage. This simulation is provided in
Appendix 4. The initial condition power flow case had a mine load of 70 MW, with the motor providing an additional
9.12 MW of load when started. The Donlin Mine SVC was included in the simulation. EPS understands that the
Donlin Mine SVC is supposed to alleviate voltage dips and disturbances associated with normal mine operations.
Also, we understand that our assumptions about this motor size are conservative (probably overstated). However,
our simulations show a prolonged under-voltage condition in the system during the motor start. Simulations show
the Donlin 138 kV bus voltage below 90% for almost 10 seconds. The motor takes near 12 seconds to reach
nearly full speed. We believe that a better understanding is needed of the largest expected motor and its load at
startup, in order to refine these studies and determine the actual system impact of a large mine motor start. A
motor start condition at Donlin Mine may be the worst case scenario in terms of voltage, and may be the defining
case for sizing the Donlin Mine SVC system.
5.4 138 kV Line Energization
Transient stability simulations were run to evaluate the system voltage profile during an energizing of the 138 kV
transmission line (T4 cases). These cases assume that the 138 kV line is de-energized and all load and
transformers along the load are offline. The line is then energized by closing the 138 kV breaker at Bethel, picking
up the line all the way to Donlin Mine on the 138 kV side. Discussions with SVC manufacturers indicated that the
- 6 -
DONLIN CREEK MINE PROJECT
SYSTEM STUDIES
usual method for starting a line with SVC systems along the line and voltage control issues was to use a small fixed
reactor on the secondary of the SVC transformer, and then switch out the reactor when the SVC comes online. To
simulate this, cases were run with no fixed reactor at Aniak, and then again with a 10 or 20 MVAR fixed reactor at
Aniak, to determine the line voltage profile and the required size of the secondary reactor. These 3 cases are
shown in Appendix 4.
The case with no reactor “t4-energize0” showed a transient voltage to near 118% at Donlin on the 138 kV bus, with
a steady state voltage of 114%. The case with a 10 MVAR reactor “t4-energize-10” showed a transient voltage of
110% and a steady state voltage of 108% at Donlin. The case with a 20 MVAR reactor “t4-energize-20” showed a
transient voltage of 103% and a steady state voltage of 103% at Donlin. The 10 MVAR reactor should provide
acceptable voltage performance for the short time before the SVC can come online and regulate voltage.
6 Basic Relaying Schemes
Although the 138 kV transmission line is operated radially from the Bethel Power Plant, backfeed from various
motors and on-site generation will require the system to be treated as a dual source system for protective relaying.
The protective relaying is recommended to be a micro-processor-based protective relay system, with protective
communications between each relaying terminal.
The primary protective scheme is recommended to be line distance relaying such as the SEL-421 relay, the ABB
REL-512 protective relay or the Nxtphase L-Pro relay. Each of the relay’s can provide the protection for the line
and operate following the incorporation of the SWGR loads and substations. The relays are the most economical
and reliable protection method available to the utility systems and can provide protection as well as control and
operations.
The relaying scheme will require three digital communication channels between each terminal, two for protective
relaying and one for control and operations.
Each transformer will utilize micro-processor based transformer differential protection.
Each generator will utilize microprocessor-based protective relays. We recommend two protective relays on each
generator. The recommended relays are Schweitzer, General Electric’s UR series or Beckwith Electric.
7 Recommendations
Power flow, short circuit, and transient stability results were run and basic relaying schemes were provided. From
these studies, recommendations were made to add a SVC system at Aniak plus a switchable fixed reactor for line
energizing.
No significant differences between the two generation alternatives were found, from a system viewpoint.
Load shedding relays will be required to withstand a loss of generation at Bethel Power Plant. Load can be shed
anywhere in the system, as long as enough load is shed to overcome the lost generation.
Protective relaying can be accomplished using industry standard protective relays and communications. Fault
clearing times are within normal limits and do not require special relaying or protective schemes.

Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report has been prepared for Nuvista Light & Power, Co. under contract with Bettine, LLC.
Its purpose is to provide a conceptual level design and budget cost estimate for site development,
access roads, foundations, coal storage area, bulk fuel systems and off-loading dock for a new
coal fired power generation plant located in Bethel, Alaska.
The proposed power plant will consist of two 48-megawatt coal fired steam turbines and one 46-
megawatt diesel fired combustion turbine. The coal storage area will be approximately 16 acres
in size, and will store approximately 400,000 tons of coal. A 3,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank
farm, two 12,000 gallon intermediate/day fuel tanks, a 700,000 gallon raw water tank and an
80,000 gallon demineralized water tank also comprise the facility.
The report includes basic feasibility level conceptual design drawings for the site development,
access roads, coal and fuel storage, piping, and an off-loading dock for coal and fuel barges.
Also included are permitting requirements for the scope of work identified above, flood hazard
information, and budget cost estimates.
The proposed site location for the power plant facility was provided by Bettine, LLC and is
located approximately 6000 feet south of the City of Bethel Petroleum Port and 1650 feet west of
the Kuskokwim River. For this report, we have assumed the site is underlain by ice-rich warm
permafrost. No geotechnical nor survey information is available for the proposed site. The
power plant layout is preliminary, and consists of a 100,000 square foot building housing the
boilers and turbines, a maintenance building, an administration building, staff housing and
cooling towers. The layout is based on information provided by Precision Energy Services, Inc.
The power plant and maintenance buildings will be supported at grade with passive refrigeration
designed to prevent degradation of the permafrost. An option to house the power plant on two
barges, moored within an artificial harbor is included in this report. The administration building,
staff housing and cooling towers shall be supported by thermo helix-piles with passive
refrigeration designed to provide foundation support in permafrost. A 78-acre cooling lake south
of the site may be substituted for the cooling towers, and we have included that option in this
report.
The coal storage area will be located east of the power plant facility, and will consist of a
stockpile that encompasses approximately 16 acres. The stockpile will be covered with either an
air-supported structure or a metal building, to contain fugitive dust and provide rain and snow
protection. Either structure will be founded on driven steel piling. The stockpile may or may not
be underlain with a containment liner, depending on permit requirements. If a liner is
mandatory, the integrity of the permafrost shall be retained with a passive refrigeration system,
or the site will be stabilized by pre-thawing the permafrost, depending on the thaw stability of
the underlying soils. If a liner is not mandatory, the site will be leveled with a layer of
compacted sand and allowed to thaw and settle.

Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
The 3,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank farm will be located near the power plant modules and will
consist of four tanks, each measuring 60 feet in diameter and 40 feet high, with a nominal
storage capacity of 800,000 gallons each. The tanks will be filled with No. 1 diesel fuel. The
bulk fuel tanks shall be founded on concrete ringwalls that bear on an insulated fill pad with a
passive refrigeration thermo syphon system installed to preserve the permafrost. The thermo
syphons will have hybrid condenser units that allow for connection to an active refrigeration
system should the need arise in the future.
Two 12,000 gallon double-walled intermediate/day fuel tanks, a 700,000 gallon raw water tank,
and an 80,000 gallon demineralized water tank will be located inside the heated power plant or
within a separate heated building if the power plant is barge mounted.
A coal and fuel barge off-loading dock with a marine header will be located on the west bank of
the Kuskokwim River. The dock design was developed by Peratrovich, Nottingham and Drage,
Inc. for the Donlin Creek Mine Late Stage Evaluation Study1. The coal will be offloaded with a
barge unloading system moored to the dock during the summer, and moved to a protected
anchorage in the river during the winter. The coal will be transported to the storage facility by a
pile supported conveyor system. The marine header will connect to a 4-inch diameter pipeline to
fill the tanks at the bulk fuel facility. The barge season in Bethel runs from June through
September.
Budget Construction Cost Estimates for the proposed site development, building foundations,
coal storage area, 3,000,000 gallon bulk fuel facility, intermediate/day fuel tanks, water tanks,
access roads, pipelines and coal and fuel barge off-loading dock are as follows:
y Power Plant & Buildings, Founded on Permafrost $21,000,000
y Barge Mounted Power Plant Option $13,800,000
y 3,000,000 Gallon Bulk Fuel Facility $4,125,000
y Lined Coal Storage w/ Maintaining Permafrost Integrity $19,200,000
y Lined Coal Storage w/ Pre-thaw of Permafrost $15,800,000
y Unlined Coal Storage w/ Allowing Natural Thaw of Permafrost $7,300,000
y Cooling Lake Option $5,450,000
These estimates are based on competitively bid construction costs with a 15% contingency.
Additional costs for design, permitting and construction management of the site development are
estimated at $1,350,000. An additional cost of $250,000 will be required for the cooling lake
option. Design and construction of the power plant equipment, buildings, conveyor,
stacker/reclaimer and barge unloading systems, as well as, land purchase, lease and right-of-way
costs are not included in these figures.

Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
I. INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared for Nuvista Light & Power, Co. under contract with Bettine, LLC,
to provide a conceptual level design and budgetary cost estimate for the site development, access
roads, foundations, coal storage area, bulk fuel systems and offloading dock for a new coal fired
power generation plant located in Bethel, Alaska. The proposed power plant will consist of two
48-megawatt coal fired steam turbines and one 46-megawatt diesel fired combustion turbine. A
16-acre coal storage area, a 3,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank farm, two 12,000 gallon double-
walled intermediate/day fuel tanks, and a 700,000 gallon raw water tank and an 80,000 gallon
demineralized water tank also comprise the facility.
Included with the report are basic feasibility level conceptual design drawings for the site
development, access roads, coal and fuel storage, piping, and a coal and fuel barge offloading
dock. Also included are permitting requirements for the scope of work identified above, flood
hazard information and budget cost estimates.
No site visit, fieldwork, or geotechnical investigation has been performed for this project. In
addition, no geotechnical or survey information is available for the proposed location. A review
of overhead aerial photographs was conducted, and engineering analyses have been made under
the assumption the site is underlain by ice-rich warm permafrost. Site locations and coal and
fuel quantities were provided by Bettine, LLC. The site layout, water tank sizes, and power
generation equipment weight loads were provided by Precision Energy Services, Inc. (PES).
Climate data was obtained from the Alaska Engineering Design Information System (AEDIS).

header approximately 3500 feet south of the City Petroleum Port. The proposed power
generation site, access roads, dock, coal storage area and bulk fuel tank farm locations are shown
in Appendix A.
IV. COMMUNITY FLOOD DATA
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Flood Plain Management Services ALASKAN
COMMUNITIES FLOOD HAZARD DATA 2000 publication indicates that the community of
Bethel is participating in NFIP status, and there is a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) available. The
published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) show detailed flood information, and can be
purchased from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The last flood event was
in 1991, and the worst flood event was in 1988.
A revised Flood Insurance Study (FIS) was published by FEMA in 1984. The FIS is included in
Appendix B. The publication lists the 100-year flood elevation at 17.1 feet. The proposed land
based power plant site elevation is around 50 feet, as interpolated from USGS Bethel (D-8),
Alaska Quadrangle, 1954 (Limited Revision 1985). The proposed barge mounted power plant
will be about the same elevation as the river. The actual site elevations will need to be
determined by a design survey. The access roads and dock may be subject to flooding and
riverbank erosion.
V. FILL MATERIAL, GRAVEL & ARMOR ROCK
Local fill material consists of a fine-grained silty dune sand that is mined from pits in Bethel.
Material with less than 20% passing the number 200 sieve size, and a Corps of Engineers frost
classification of F3 can be obtained through selective mining. The present borrow sites are near
the airport, with a haul distance to the proposed site of 3 to 5 miles one way.
The large quantity of fill material needed for this project may justify developing a borrow source
near the site. An intensive geotechnical materials investigation will be required to identify a
suitable source, and additional permitting will be needed to develop the material site.
Gravel is imported to Bethel by barge. Presently, barges routinely deliver 4500 tons
(approximately 2500 cubic yards) of gravel per shipment. Most of the gravel delivered is mined
in Aniak, Kalskag, or Platinum.
Armor rock is also imported by barge. The closest quarries are in Kalskag and Platinum.
VI. POWER PLANT & ASSOCIATED BUILDINGS
Since the proposed site is assumed to have thaw unstable, ice-rich soils, the buildings must be
supported on foundations that maintain the thermal stability of the existing ground to prevent
thaw settlement. The steam turbines and boilers have high foundation loads; therefore, the
power plant building should be supported at grade on a concrete slab with grade beams
connected to concrete footings. The concrete slab and footings shall bear on a compacted fill
pad of the local sand. The maintenance shop will have high floor loads and should also be
2
Bethel, Alaska
Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
founded in the same manner. To maintain the frozen ground conditions and prevent thaw
settlement under the heated buildings, a layer of rigid board insulation and a passive
refrigeration, thermo syphon flat loop system shall be installed under the buildings to preserve
the integrity of the permafrost. The system uses the phase change properties of CO2 to remove
heat from the sand fill whenever the air temperature is below freezing. The thermo syphons will
be fabricated with hybrid condenser units that allow for connection to an active refrigeration
system should the need arise in the future. Conceptual design drawings of the power plant and
maintenance shop layouts and foundations are shown in Appendix C.
The administration building, staff housing, and cooling towers shall be supported by thermo
helix-piles with passive refrigeration designed to provide foundation support in permafrost. The
piles will also be fabricated with hybrid condenser units that allow for connection to an active
refrigeration system. Conceptual design drawings of the pile supported structures are shown in
Appendix C.
A fill pad of the local sand will be placed under and around the buildings, and capped with an 8-
inch thick sand and gravel surface. The sand fill shall be 6.5 feet thick under the power plant and
maintenance buildings, and shall be 4.5 feet thick under the pile-supported buildings, except
where grade changes are not desirable. The fill shall extend around the perimeter of the
buildings to provide access for vehicles and equipment. The fill pad will be sloped to provide
positive drainage away from the buildings.
VII. BARGE MOUNTED POWER PLANT OPTION
The power generation equipment could be mounted on two barges that will be moored in an
artificial harbor constructed next to the Kuskokwim River. The harbor will be created by
removing the underlying soils in a low area that is south of a bluff near the proposed site, and by
building an earthen dike from the excavated soils to separate the harbor from the river. The
harbor could be allowed to freeze each winter, or, the water could be used for supplemental
cooling and discharged back into the harbor to keep it ice free. A site plan for the barge mounted
power plant option is shown in Appendix A. Conceptual design drawings are shown in
Appendix C.
Excess soils that are excavated from the harbor and not used for the embankment construction,
could be used for fill pad and road construction if they are suitable. If they are not suitable for
construction, a disposal site will need to be developed.
To prevent erosion of the earthen dike, the toe of the dike should be keyed into the supporting
soils and toe drains should be constructed. The entire dike should be covered with a gravel
surface and the riverfront should be lined with armor rock. Both the gravel and the armor rock
will need to be imported to Bethel. Ice forces on the riverside of the embankment will be
extensive. Articulating concrete mats may be needed in addition to armor rock at areas that
receive high ice forces, such as the abutment where the dike meets the bluff, the embankment
corner and within the tidal zone of the river.

Bethel, Alaska
Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
The barges could be moored to a center pier that is supported on driven piles. Additional
moorage could be obtained by installing dolphins at the corners of the barges. If the harbor area
is underlain by permafrost, as assumed, the piles will have to be driven deep enough to resist the
drawdown forces as the permafrost thaws, as well as the lateral wind loads on the barges. The
moorage will also need to adjust for tidal influences if the harbor and river are hydraulically
connected.
Separating the harbor from the river, in essence, incorporates the construction of a dam, and
therefore, may need review and approval from the State of Alaska Dam Safety Office if it meets
the criteria for State of Alaska jurisdiction. If surface drainage into the harbor is extensive, a
hydraulic connection between the river and harbor may need to be constructed. Large culverts or
a controlled spillway are two methods that could be utilized. An extensive geotechnical
investigation and a hydrographic survey will be necessary to determine the design.
VIII. COAL STORAGE FACILITY
The coal storage facility will encompass approximately 16 acres, and will contain approximately
400,000 tons of coal. The stockpile, after the final barge has delivered for the season, will be
approximately 35 feet tall. The stockpile will be covered with either an air supported fabric or
metal building to protect it from rain and snow and contain the fugitive dust from the stockpile.
The coal will have properties that will not make it susceptible to spontaneous combustion,
according to Bettine, LLC. Since the coal will be covered and will not require continuous
saturation to inhibit spontaneous combustion, very little leachate is expected to emit from the
stockpile.
The stockpile will bear on a fill pad of the local sand. The building and stockpile is expected to
be heated to maintain a temperature of approximately 20° F during the winter. Even though that
temperature is below freezing, the stockpile itself will contain enough residual heat that will
cause the underlying permafrost to thaw. If the operating permit requires a containment liner be
installed under the stockpile, the permafrost must be either maintained or prethawed prior to
installation of the liner. If a liner is not required, the permafrost can be allowed to thaw naturally
under the stockpile. Any leachate emitted from the stockpile may require collection and
treatment prior to disposal, depending on the permit requirements.
The air supported fabric or metal building shall be supported on steel piling driven into the
underlying permafrost. The piles shall have enough frictional capacity to resist overturning and
frost heave forces. Steel, 12-inch nominal pipe piles on 40-foot centers, driven to a depth of 60
feet below the top of the fill pad will support the building.
A 450-metric ton bucket wheel stacker/reclaimer will be covered by the building. The
stacker/reclaimer rides on rails that can only tolerate small differential movements. If a liner is
required, the stacker/reclaimer will be supported on concrete footings that are 12.5 feet square
and 2 feet thick. If a liner is not required, the stacker/reclaimer will need to be supported on
thermo helix-piling that are connected to an active refrigeration unit to prevent settlement as the
permafrost thaws. The 160 horsepower active refrigeration system will have a power
requirement of 1600 kilowatt-hours per day.
4
Bethel, Alaska
Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
The coal will be transported by a conveyor system from the storage facility to the bunkers.
Another conveyor system will transport the coal from the barge off-loading dock to the storage
area. The conveyors shall be supported on driven steel piling. The piling shall be 8-inch
nominal steel pipe, driven to a depth of 40 feet and spaced 80 feet on center. Conceptual design
drawings showing the layout of the coal storage facility and conveyors are shown in Appendix C.
IX. COOLING LAKE OPTION
The steam generated from the power plant can be cooled either with the proposed cooling
towers, or in a 78-acre cooling lake located approximately 2000 feet south of the site. Pipe size
and flow rates for the cooling lake option were provided by PES. The heated water will be
transported to the cooling lake in a 48-inch diameter pipe and discharged on the west shore.
Cool water will be pumped from the east shore through a 48-inch diameter pipe. Two, 1000
horsepower pumps will be located at the lake, one in use, and one for backup and reserve when
the primary pump is being serviced. The pumps shall be enclosed in a heated pumphouse that is
founded on driven piles. The pipelines shall be supported above grade on bents supported by
driven steel piling. The cooling lake and pipeline layouts are shown in Appendix A.
X. 3,000,000 GALLON BULK FUEL FACILITY
The bulk fuel facility will consist of four uninsulated tanks, each measuring 60 feet in diameter
by 40 feet high with a nominal storage capacity of 800,000 gallons. The tanks will store No. 1
diesel, which has a lower pour point temperature than No. 2 diesel, and therefore will not require
added heat. The tanks shall be welded steel in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute
(API) Standard 650. The tanks will be founded on concrete ring walls that bear on a compacted
fill pad of the local sand. A layer of rigid board insulation and a passive refrigeration, thermo
syphon flat loop system shall be installed in the pad to preserve the underlying permafrost.
Secondary containment of the fuel tanks will consist of a surface installed primary membrane
liner placed on top of earthen dikes constructed from the local sand, and capped with a layer of
sand and gravel. Conceptual design drawings of the bulk fuel facility are shown in Appendix C.
XI. INTERMEDIATE/DAY FUEL TANKS & WATER STORAGE TANKS
A transfer pump will deliver the fuel from the bulk fuel facility to two 12,000 gallon double-
walled intermediate tanks housed inside the power plant building, or a separate heated building if
the power plant is barge mounted. The intermediate fuel tanks shall be welded steel in
accordance with UL Standard 142. A standby transfer pump is included in this design, so that a
pump is always available during servicing. The delivery pipeline will be a 4-inch steel pipe
supported above grade on helical piers or piling.
The fuel will be heated to the specified temperature of 70° F in the intermediate tanks prior to
entering the turbines. The intermediate tanks will contain glycol heat circulation loops, and will
require 8600 BTU’s to heat 2800 gallons of fuel per hour per degree to 70° F.
A 700,000 gallon raw water tank, and an 80,000 gallon demineralized water tank, will be located
inside the power plant building or a separate heated building if the power plant is barge mounted.

Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
The sizes of the tanks were provided by PES. Both tanks shall be welded steel in accordance
with AWWA Standard D100. The tanks will be founded on concrete ringwalls integrated into
the power plant foundation.
XII. ACCESS ROADS
An access road will connect the proposed site to Bethel via a private spur road that intersects
Standard Oil Road west of the City Petroleum Dock. Other roads will connect the facility with
the off-loading dock on the river and with the proposed cooling lake to the south. The access
roads will be constructed as an embankment of the local sand, and capped with an 8-inch thick
sand and gravel surface. The embankment shall be 4.5 feet thick to limit seasonal thaw within
the existing active layer. Conceptual design drawings of the access roads are included in
Appendix C.
XIII. COAL AND FUEL OFF-LOADING DOCK
A coal and fuel barge off-loading dock and marine header will be located on the west bank of the
Kuskokwim River, approximately 3500 feet south of the City of Bethel Petroleum Port. The
dock design is similar to the open cell sheet pile design that was included in the 1999 Donlin
Creek Mine, Late Stage Evaluation Study1 by Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. The cost
estimate for the dock is also based on that report.
The coal will be off-loaded with a barge unloading system that spans the coal barge, and uses a
bucket elevator system to remove the coal. The unloader shall be moored to the dock during the
barge season, and then stored in a protected area of the river during the winter to prevent ice
damage. A pile supported conveyor system will transport the coal from the dock to the storage
area.
The marine header will connect to a 4-inch diameter pipeline for fuel transfer to the bulk fuel
facility. The pipeline will be supported above grade on helical piers or piling. Conceptual
design drawings of the coal and fuel barge off-loading dock, barge unloading system, conveyor
and pipeline are shown in Appendix C.
The barge season in Bethel runs from June through mid-September. At present, the largest barge
delivering fuel to Bethel is 344 feet long, and can deliver a maximum of 2,100,000 gallons of
fuel with a draft of 11.5 feet. The barge is owned by Seacoast Towing and delivers fuel to the
Yukon Fuel Company.
XIV. PERMITTING
The power plant, coal storage facility, bulk fuel facility, access roads, and barge off-loading dock
will require the following:
1. A spill contingency plan designed to satisfy Federal, Facility Response Plan (FRP) and
State, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation – Oil Discharge Prevention and
Contingency Plan (ADEC C-Plan) requirements. It must be approved by the EPA, the
6
Bethel, Alaska
Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
U.S. Coast Guard and ADEC. The EPA requires an approved FRP from each facility
with storage capacity of 42,000 gallons or more, and which receives oil by marine
delivery. The Coast Guard must approve a FRP from each fuel facility that can transfer
oil to or from vessels with oil cargo capacity of 250 barrels (10,500 gals.). ADEC
requires approval of an ODPCP prior to operations at facilities with storage capacities of
420,000 gallons or more. The C-Plan must satisfy the requirements of Title 46, Chapter
04, Section 030 of the Alaska Statutes (AS 46.04.030), and meet the format requirements
listed in the Alaska Administrative Code, Chapter 75, Section 425 (18 AAC 75.425).
The ADEC approval process includes public comment and a Coastal Zone Management
review. The plan must consist of four parts:
a. The RESPONSE ACTION PLAN presents the fundamental elements of spill
response. It outlines initial actions and spill reporting procedures, provides
emergency phone numbers, and presents spill response strategies.
b. The PREVENTION PLAN describes the facility design, maintenance and
operating procedures that contribute to spill prevention and early detection.
Potential spills are identified.
c. The SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION section includes a description of the
facility and its response command structure, as well as environmental data and
response equipment considerations.
d. The BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY section demonstrates that the facility
complies with the State of Alaska requirements of 18 AAC 75.425(e)(4) and 18
AAC 75.445(k).
2. A Marine Transfer Operations Manual which demonstrates that the vessel/barge transfer
procedures and dock equipment comply with Coast Guard requirements. The Manual
must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. It confirms that the operator’s marine
transfer procedures and equipment comply with the requirements listed in 33 CFR, Parts
154 and 156. The manual format and content requirements are listed in 33 CFR, Part
154, Subpart B, which lists 23 items that must be addressed. Two copies of the manual
are to be submitted to the Coast Guard. Upon approval, one copy of the manual will be
returned marked "Examined by the Coast Guard". Copies of the manual are to be
maintained at the facility so that they are, “current, available for examination by the
USCG Captain of the Port (COTP), and readily available for each facility person in
charge while conducting an oil transfer operation”.
3. A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) that is certified by a
licensed Engineer (P.E.), and confirms that the facility complies with the EPA spill
prevention and operating requirements. The oil pollution prevention regulations require
the preparation of a SPCC for all facilities with aboveground oil storage of more than
1,320 gallons and which, due to their location, could reasonably be expected to discharge
oil in harmful quantities into or upon the navigable waters or adjoining shorelines of the
United States. The SPCC Plan must be carefully thought out and prepared in accordance
with good engineering practices to prevent and mitigate damage to the environment from
7
Bethel, Alaska
Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
oil spills. It must address all oil “containers” / tanks with a capacity of 55 gallons or
more. The Plan must be certified by a licensed Professional Engineer, and must also
have the full approval of management at a level with authority to commit the necessary
resources. Facility management is to review and evaluate the Plan at least once every
five years, and update it whenever there is a change in facility design, construction,
operation, or maintenance that could materially affect the potential for discharge to
navigable water. EPA regulations further stipulate, in 40 CFR, Part 112.4, that a written
report must be submitted to the Regional Director of the EPA when a facility has either
one spill greater than 1,000 gallons, or two spills in excess of 42 gallons in a 12-month
period that enter navigable waters. The SPCC Plan need not be submitted to, or approved
by, the EPA, but must be maintained at the facility and available for agency inspection.
4. A Fire Marshal review requires submittal of a complete set of construction documents to
the State of Alaska, Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention (Fire
Marshal) for plan review and approval. The State Fire Marshall then issues a Plan
Review Certificate to verify compliance with adopted Building, Fire and Life Safety
codes. Final stamped drawings must be submitted along with the application fee for
project review. Anticipate a minimum of one month before comments may be received
from the Fire Marshall.
5. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 10, 33 U.S.C. 403 permit is required prior to
the accomplishment of any work in, over, or under navigable waters of the United States,
or which affects the course, location, condition or capacity of such waters. The
Kuskokwim River is defined as a navigable waterway. Typical activities requiring
Section 10 permits include:
a. Construction of piers, wharves, breakwaters, bulkheads, jetties, weirs, dolphins,
marinas, ramps, floats, intake structures and cable or pipeline crossings.
b. Work such as dredging or disposal of dredged material.
c. Excavation, filling, or other modifications to navigable waters of the U.S.
6. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
Alaska Department of Fish and Game or Department of Natural Resources, will review
the 403 permit to determine if there is an impact on the anadromous fish population in the
Kuskokwim River. They may place restrictions on construction timing or methods. The
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will also determine if the project impacts any endangered
species.
7. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands permit is required to place fill material on
existing soils before construction begins. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires
approval prior to discharging dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States,
including wetlands. Wetlands include tundra, permafrost areas, swamps, marshes, bogs
and similar areas. Typical activities requiring Section 404 permits include:
a. Discharging fill or dredged material in waters of the U.S., including wetlands.
8

Coal Fired Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
b. Site development fill for residential, commercial, or recreational developments.
c. Construction of revetments, groins, breakwaters, levees, dams, dikes and weirs.
d. Placement of riprap and road fills.
8. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) has jurisdiction for the following items:
a. Operators of construction projects disturbing five acres or more must develop a
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and submit the SWPPP as well
as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the EPA and ADEC for review prior to the start of
construction activity.
b. Non-Stormwater Discharge Assessment Certification is required to discharge any
process wastewater which would include the water discharged into the proposed
cooling lake or coal pile effluent.
c. Approval under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for the State of Alaska
is required for storm water discharges associated with industrial activity. Steam
electric power generation facilities, including coal handling sites fall under
Category VII of the MSGP.
9. The Bethel City Planning Department will review the Fire Marshall, AK DEC and Army
Corps of Engineers permits and may add other requirements to the project, such as access
and setback from property lines. The City of Bethel also has a General Permit issued by
the Corps of Engineers.
10. A review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Power plants located less than
5 miles from a runway or airport, such as this project, should complete Form 7460-1,
“Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration”, and submit all necessary elevation and
height of structure information to the FAA (Alaska Region) prior to construction. The
FAA reviews the power plant and determines whether the construction or project will
present a hazard to air traffic in the vicinity. The FAA has typically provided project
determinations within one week of the completed form submittal.
11. A review by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is required, under Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act, for any State or Federally funded project that
has the potential of disturbing cultural resources.
XV. BUDGET COST ESTIMATES
Budget Construction Cost Estimates have been prepared for the construction of the proposed site
development, building foundations, coal storage area, 3,000,000 gallon bulk fuel facility,
intermediate fuel tanks, water tanks, access roads, pipelines, and coal and fuel barge off-loading
dock. The estimates were developed based on historical pricing for similar work in Bethel with a
6.5% overhead for profit, bonding and insurance. A construction contingency of 15% has been
factored into the estimates. A freight rate of $0.20 per pound to Bethel was provided by Bettine,

plant located in Bethel, Alaska. The proposed power plant will be a 130 megawatt combined
combustion and steam turbine system. A 25,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank farm, a 100,000
gallon intermediate fuel tank and a 700,000 gallon raw water tank also comprise the facility.
The report includes basic feasibility level conceptual design drawings for the site development,
access roads, fuel storage, piping and a fuel barge off-loading dock. Also included are
permitting requirements for the scope of work identified above, flood hazard information, an
evaluation of the heating requirements for the fuel and water tanks and budget cost estimates.
The proposed site location for the power plant facility was provided by Bettine, LLC and is
located approximately 6000 feet south of the City of Bethel Petroleum Port and 1650 feet west of
the Kuskokwim River. For this report, we have assumed the site is underlain by ice-rich warm
permafrost. No geotechnical nor survey information is available for the proposed site. The
power plant layout is preliminary and consists of 14 modules. The layout is based on
information provided by Precision Energy Services, Inc. Based on the weights provided for the
equipment, the modules shall be supported by thermo helix-piles with passive refrigeration
designed to provide foundation support in permafrost.
The 25,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank farm will be located south of the power plant modules and
will consist of eight insulated tanks, each measuring 120 feet in diameter and 40 feet high with a
nominal storage capacity of 3.2 million gallons. The tanks will be heated with waste heat from
the combustion turbines to keep the fuel above the specified minimum temperature of 20°F. A
100,000 gallon insulated intermediate fuel tank and a 700,000 gallon insulated raw water tank
will be located near the modules with both heated to the specified temperature of 70°F.
The tanks shall be founded on concrete ringwalls that bear on an insulated fill pad with a passive
refrigeration thermo syphon system installed to preserve the permafrost. Both the thermo helix-
piles and the thermo syphons will have hybrid condenser units that allow for connection to an
active refrigeration system should the need arise in the future.
A fuel barge off-loading dock with a marine header will be located on the west bank of the
Kuskokwim River. The dock design was developed by Peratrovich, Nottingham and Drage, Inc.
for the Donlin Creek Mine Late Stage Evaluation Study1. The marine header will connect to an
8-inch diameter pipeline to fill the tanks at the bulk fuel facility. The barge season in Bethel runs
from June to September. Presently, the largest fuel barge delivers a maximum of 2,100,000
gallons of fuel per trip, which will require 12 deliveries to fill the tank farm plus an additional 5
deliveries for summer consumption, based on consumption rates provided by Bettine, LLC.

Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
I. INTRODUCTION
This report has been prepared for Nuvista Light & Power, Co. under contract with Bettine, LLC,
to provide a conceptual design and budgetary cost estimate for the site development, earthworks,
foundations and bulk fuel systems for development of a new power generation facility in the
community of Bethel, Alaska. The proposed power plant will be a 130 megawatt combined
combustion and steam turbine system. A 25,000,000 gallon bulk fuel tank farm, a 100,000
gallon intermediate fuel tank and a 700,000 gallon raw water tank also comprise the facility.
Included with the report are basic feasibility level conceptual design drawings for the site
development, access roads, fuel storage, piping and a fuel barge off-loading dock. Also included
are permitting requirements for the scope of work identified above, flood hazard information, an
evaluation of the heating requirements for the fuel and water tanks and budget cost estimates.
No site visit, field work, or geotechnical investigation has been performed for this project. In
addition, no geotechnical or survey information is available for the proposed location. A review
of overhead aerial photographs was conducted and engineering analyses have been made under
the assumption the site is underlain by ice-rich warm permafrost. Site locations, fuel quantities
and specified temperatures were provided by Bettine, LLC. Raw water tank size and power
generation equipment loads were provided by Precision Energy Services, Inc. (PES). Climate
data was obtained from the Alaska Engineering Design Information System (AEDIS).
II. APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS

III. SITE LOCATION
The proposed site location for the power plant facility was provided by Bettine, LLC. The site
will be approximately 6000 feet south of the City of Bethel Petroleum Port and approximately
1650 feet west of the nearest point Kuskokwim River. An access road will connect to a private
spur road south of Standard Oil Road and to a new petroleum off-loading dock on the west bank
of the river, approximately 3500 feet south of the City Petroleum Port. An 8-inch diameter

pipeline will connect the proposed dock and marine header to the new bulk fuel tank farm. The
site, dock and bulk tank farm locations are shown in Appendix A.
IV. COMMUNITY FLOOD DATA
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers – Flood Plain Management Services ALASKAN
COMMUNITIES FLOOD HAZARD DATA 2000 publication indicates that the community of
Bethel is participating in NFIP status and there is a Flood Insurance Study (FIS) available. The
published Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) show detailed flood information, and can be
purchased from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The last flood event was
in 1991 and the worst flood event was in 1988.
A revised Flood Insurance Study (FIS) was published by FEMA in 1984. The FIS is included in
Appendix B. The publication lists the 100-year flood elevation at 17.1 feet. The proposed site
elevation is around 50 feet, as interpolated from USGS Bethel (D-8), Alaska Quadrangle, 1954
(Limited Revision 1985). The actual site elevation will need to be determined by a design
survey. The access roads and dock may be subject to flooding and riverbank erosion.
V. LOCAL FILL MATERIAL
Local fill material consists of a fine-grained silty dune sand that is mined from pits in Bethel.
Material with less than 20% passing the number 200 sieve size and a Corps of Engineers frost
classification of F3 can be obtained through selective mining. The present borrow sites are near
the airport, with a haul distance to the proposed site of 3 to 5 miles one way.
The large quantity of fill material needed for this project may justify developing a borrow source
near the site. An intensive geotechnical materials investigation will be required to identify a
suitable source and additional permitting will be needed to develop the material site.
Gravel is imported to Bethel by barge. Presently, barges routinely deliver 4500 tons
(approximately 2500 cubic yards) of gravel per shipment. Most of the gravel delivered is mined
in Aniak, Kalskag, or Platinum.
VI. COMBUSTION TURBINE MODULE FOUNDATIONS
Since the proposed site is assumed to have thaw unstable ice rich soils, the module foundations
must maintain the thermal stability of the existing ground to prevent thaw settlement. The
combustion turbines have small differential vertical tolerances; therefore, a pile-supported
foundation is recommended. To maintain the frozen ground conditions, the modules shall be
supported on passive refrigeration thermo helix-piles installed in the winter, using an ad-freeze
installation method. A steel frame will be welded to the piling to provide lateral resistance to
wind and seismic forces. Conceptual design drawings of the module foundations are shown in
Appendix C.
2
Bethel, Alaska
Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
A fill pad of the local sand will be placed under the modules and capped with an 8-inch thick
sand and gravel driving surface. The sand fill shall be 4.5 feet thick to limit seasonal thaw within
the existing active layer. The fill shall extend around the perimeter of the modules to provide
access for vehicles and equipment. The fill pad will be sloped to provide positive drainage away
from the modules. The bottom of the modules shall be 4 feet above the top of the fill pad to
provide a clear blow-through space. This space separates the fill from the heat of the modules
and allows the fill to refreeze each winter.
VII. COOLING LAKE
The power plant can be cooled either with the proposed cooling towers, or in a cooling lake
located approximately 2000 feet south of the site. The heated water will be transported to the
cooling lake in a 24-inch diameter pipe and discharged on the west shore. Cool water will be
pumped from the east shore through a 24-inch diameter pipe. Two 350 horsepower pumps will
be located at the lake, one in use, and one for backup and reserve when the primary pump is
being serviced. The pumps shall be enclosed in a heated pumphouse that is founded on driven
piles. The pipelines shall be supported above grade on bents supported by driven steel piling.
The cooling lake and pipeline layouts are shown in Appendix A.
VIII. 25,000,000 GALLON BULK FUEL FACILITY
The bulk fuel facility will consist of eight insulated tanks, each measuring 120-foot diameter by
40-foot high with a nominal storage capacity of 3.2 million gallons. The tanks shall be welded
steel in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standard 650. The steel shell
will be covered with 6-inch thick insulated panels that can be removed for inspection. The tanks
will be founded on concrete ring walls that bear on a compacted fill pad of the local sand. A
layer of rigid board insulation shall be installed in the pad to limit seasonal thaw within the sand
fill. Secondary containment of the fuel tanks will consist of a surface installed primary
membrane liner placed on top of earthen dikes constructed from the local sand and capped with a
layer of sand and gravel. Conceptual design drawings of the bulk fuel facility are shown in
Appendix C.
A passive refrigeration, thermo syphon flat loop system shall be installed under the bulk fuel
facility to preserve the integrity of the permafrost. The system uses the phase change properties
of CO2 to remove heat from the sand fill whenever the air temperature is below freezing. The
thermo syphons will be fabricated with hybrid condenser units that allow for connection to an
active refrigeration system should the need arise in the future.
The insulated tanks will be heated with waste heat from the combustion turbines through a glycol
circulation loop installed in the bottom of the tanks. Based on the average minimum monthly
temperatures recorded since 1949, each tank will require 96,000,000 BTU’s per year to maintain
the fuel above the specified minimum temperature of 20°F, which is 10°F above the pour point
temperature for number 2 diesel. The BTU requirement is based on the heat loss through the
tank walls and roof and does not include the residual heat contained in the fuel at the end of the
summer. The heat requirement per tank is summarized in Appendix D.

Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
IX. INTERMEDIATE FUEL TANK AND RAW WATER TANK
A transfer pump will deliver the fuel from the bulk fuel facility to a 100,000 gallon insulated
intermediate tank near the modules. A standby transfer pump is included in this design so that a
pump is always available during servicing. The fuel quantity of the intermediate tank was
specified by Bettine, LLC and is based on the estimated daily fuel demand of the combustion
turbines of 96,000 gallons (35 million gallons per year). The delivery pipeline will be a 4-inch
steel pipe insulated with panels that can be removed for inspection. The pipeline will be
supported above grade on piling or helical piers.
The fuel will be heated to the specified temperature of 70°F in the intermediate tank prior to
entering the turbines. The intermediate tank will contain glycol heat circulation loops similar to
the bulk tanks. The tank will require 15,400,000 BTU’s to heat 100,000 gallons of fuel per day
from 20°F to 70°F. The tank will require an additional 256,000 BTU’s to maintain a temperature
of 70°F on an average day in December, the coldest month of record. According to the Alaska
Engineering Design Information System (AEDIS) data, a total of 64,200,000 BTU’s are required
to maintain a temperature of 70°F throughout the winter. Assuming the temperature of the fuel
entering the intermediate tank is 20°F for 180 days of the year, the total BTU demand for the fuel
is around 2,840,000,000 BTU’s. A summary of the heat requirements for the intermediate tank is
included in Appendix D.
A 700,000 gallon insulated raw water tank will be located next to the intermediate fuel tank. The
size of the tank was specified by Precision Energy Services, Inc. (PES). The water tank can be
heated with circulation loops in the same fashion as the fuel tanks. The water tank will require
188,000,000 BTU’s to maintain a temperature of 70°F throughout the winter. The heat
requirement for the raw water tank is summarized in Appendix D.
The intermediate fuel tank shall be welded steel in accordance with API Standard 650 . The raw
water tank shall be welded steel in accordance with AWWA Standard D100. Both tanks will
have external 6-inch thick insulated panels that can be removed similar to the bulk fuel tanks.
The tanks will be founded on concrete ringwalls that bear on a compacted fill pad of the local
sand. A passive refrigeration thermo syphon flat loop system with hybrid condenser units shall
be installed in the insulated fill pad and the secondary containment for the intermediate fuel tank
will consist of a surface installed primary membrane liner placed on top of the fill and attached
to timber dikes. Conceptual design drawings of the intermediate and raw water tanks are shown
in Appendix C.
X. ACCESS ROADS
An access road will connect the proposed site to Bethel via a private spur road that intersects
Standard Oil Road west of the City Petroleum Dock. The access road will be constructed as an
embankment of the local sand and capped with an 8-inch thick sand and gravel surface. The
embankment shall be 4.5 feet thick to limit seasonal thaw within the existing active layer. Other
roads will be constructed to connect with the proposed cooling lake south of the site and with the
4

Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
fuel barge off-loading dock to the east. Conceptual drawings of the access roads are included in
Appendix C.
XI. FUEL DOCK
A fuel barge offloading dock and marine header will be located on the west bank of the
Kuskokwim River, approximately 3500 feet south of the City of Bethel Petroleum Port. The
dock design is similar to the open cell sheet pile design that was included in the 1999 Donlin
Creek Mine, Late Stage Evaluation Study Study1 by Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. The
cost estimate for the dock is also based on that report.
The marine header will connect to an 8-inch diameter pipeline for fel transfer to the bulk fuel
facility at a rate of 1400 GPM. The pipeline will be supported above grade on piling or helical
piers. Conceptual design drawings of the fuel barge offloading dock and pipeline are shown in
Appendix C.
The barge season in Bethel runs from June until September. At present, the largest barge
delivering fuel to Bethel is 344 feet long and can deliver a maximum of 2,100,000 gallons of fuel
with a draft of 11.5 feet. The barge is owned by Seacoast Towing and delivers fuel to the Yukon
Fuel Company. The barge can pump around 84,000 gallons per hour through an 8-inch line.
XII. PERMITTING
The power plant, bulk fuel facility, access road and barge offloading dock will require the
following:
1. A spill contingency plan designed to satisfy Federal, Facility Response Plan (FRP)
and State, AK Department of Environmental Conservation – Oil Discharge
Prevention and Contingency Plan (ADEC C-Plan) requirements. It must be approved
by the EPA, the Coast Guard and ADEC. The EPA requires an approved FRP from
each facility with storage capacity of 42,000 gallons or more and which receives oil
by marine delivery. The Coast Guard must approve a FRP from each fuel facility that
can transfer oil to or from vessels with oil cargo capacity of 250 barrels (10,500
gals.). ADEC requires approval of an ODPCP prior to operations at facilities with
storage capacities of 420,000 gallons or more. The C-Plan must satisfy the
requirements of Title 46, Chapter 04, Section 030 of the Alaska Statutes (AS
46.04.030) and meet the format requirements listed in the Alaska Administrative
Code, Chapter 75, Section 425 (18 AAC 75.425). The ADEC approval process
includes public comment and a Coastal Zone Management review. The plan must
consist of four parts:
i. The RESPONSE ACTION PLAN presents the fundamental elements of spill
response. It outlines initial actions and spill reporting procedures, provides
emergency phone numbers and presents spill response strategies.
5
Bethel, Alaska
Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
ii. The PREVENTION PLAN describes the facility design, maintenance and
operating procedures that contribute to spill prevention and early detection.
Potential spills are identified.
iii. The SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION section includes a description of the
facility and its response command structure, as well as environmental data and
response equipment considerations.
iv. The BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY section demonstrates that the facility
complies with the State of Alaska requirements of 18 AAC 75.425(e)(4) and 18
AAC 75.445(k).
2. A Marine Transfer Operations Manual which demonstrates that the vessel/barge
transfer procedures and dock equipment comply with Coast Guard requirements. The
Manual must be approved by the Coast Guard. It confirms that the operator’s marine
transfer procedures and equipment comply with the requirements listed in 33 CFR,
Parts 154 and 156. The manual format and content requirements are listed in 33
CFR, Part 154, Subpart B, which lists 23 items that must be addressed. Two copies
of the manual are to be submitted to the Coast Guard. Upon approval, one copy of
the manual will be returned marked "Examined by the Coast Guard." Copies of the
manual are to be maintained at the facility so that they are, “current, available for
examination by the USCG Captain of the Port (COTP) and readily available for each
facility person in charge while conducting an oil transfer operation”.
3. A Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC) that is certified by a
licensed engineer (P.E.) and confirms that the facility complies with the EPA spill
prevention and operating requirements. The oil pollution prevention regulations
require the preparation of a SPCC for all facilities with aboveground oil storage of
more than 1,320 gallons and which, due to their location, could reasonably be
expected to discharge oil in harmful quantities into or upon the navigable waters or
adjoining shorelines of the United States. The SPCC Plan must be carefully thought
out and prepared in accordance with good engineering practices to prevent and
mitigate damage to the environment from oil spills. It must address all oil
“containers” / tanks with a capacity of 55 gallons or more. The Plan must be certified
by a licensed Professional Engineer and must also have the full approval of
management at a level with authority to commit the necessary resources. Facility
management is to review and evaluate the Plan at least every five years and update it
whenever there is a change in facility design, construction, operation, or maintenance
that could materially affect the potential for discharge to navigable water. EPA
regulations further stipulate, in 40 CFR, Part 112.4, that a written report must be
submitted to the Regional Director of the EPA when a facility has either one spill
greater than 1,000 gallons, or two spills in excess of 42 gallons in a 12-month period
that enter navigable waters. The SPCC Plan need not be submitted to, or approved
by, the EPA, but must be maintained at the facility and available for agency
inspection.

4. A Fire Marshal review requires submittal of a complete set of construction documents
to the State of Alaska, Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention (Fire
Marshal) for plan review and approval. The State Fire Marshall then issues a Plan
Review Certificate to verify compliance with adopted Building, Fire and Life Safety
codes. Final stamped drawings must be submitted along with the application fee for
project review. Anticipate a minimum of one month before comments may be
received from the Fire Marshall.
5. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 10, 33 U.S.C. 403 permit is required prior
to the accomplishment of any work in, over, or under navigable waters of the United
States, or which affects the course, location, condition or capacity of such waters.
The Kuskokwim River is defined as a navigable waterway. Typical activities
requiring Section 10 permits include:
i. Construction of piers, wharves, breakwaters, bulkheads, jetties, weirs, dolphins,
marinas, ramps, floats, intake structures and cable or pipeline crossings.
ii. Work such as dredging or disposal of dredged material.
iii. Excavation, filling, or other modifications to navigable waters of the U.S.
6. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
Alaska Department of Fish and Game or Department of Natural Resources will
review the 403 permit to determine if there is an impact on the anadromous fish
population in the Kuskokwim River. They may place restrictions on construction
timing or methods. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will also determine if the
project impacts any endangered species.
7. A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetlands permit is required to place fill material on
existing soils before construction begins. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
requires approval prior to discharging dredged or fill material into the waters of the
United States, including wetlands. Wetlands include tundra, permafrost areas,
swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas. Typical activities requiring Section 404
permits include:
i. Discharging fill or dredged material in waters of the U.S., including wetlands.
ii. Site development fill for residential, commercial, or recreational developments.
iii. Construction of revetments, groins, breakwaters, levees, dams, dikes and weirs.
iv. Placement of riprap and road fills.
8. Operators of construction projects disturbing five acres or more must develop a Storm
Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and submit the SWPPP as well as a Notice
of Intent (NOI) to the EPA and ADEC for review prior to the start of construction
activity.
7
Bethel, Alaska
Combustion Turbine Power Plant Conceptual Design Report
9. The Bethel City Planning Department will review the Fire Marshall, AK DEC and
Army Corps of Engineers permits and may add other requirements to the project,
such as access and setback from property lines. The City of Bethel also has a General
Permit issued by the Corps of Engineers.
10. A review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Power plants located less
than 5 miles from a runway or airport, such as this project, should complete Form
7460-1, “Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration” and submit all necessary
elevation and height of structure information to the FAA (Alaska Region) prior to
construction. The FAA reviews the power plant and determines whether the
construction or project will present a hazard to air traffic in the vicinity. The FAA
has typically provided project determinations within one week of the completed form
submittal.
11. A review by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is required, under Section
106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, for any State or Federally funded
project that has the potential of disturbing cultural resources.
XIII. BUDGET COST ESTIMATES
Budget Construction Cost Estimates have been prepared for the construction of the proposed
bulk fuel facility, module foundations, intermediate fuel tank, raw water tank, access roads,
pipelines and fuel barge off-loading dock. The estimates were developed based on historical
pricing for similar work in Bethel with a 6.5% overhead for profit, bonding and insurance. A
construction contingency of 15% has been factored into the estimates. A freight rate of $0.20 per
pound to Bethel was provided by Bettine, LLC. These estimates do not include costs for the
combustion turbine modules or power generation equipment, their transportation to Bethel, nor
their mobilization to the site and setup. The estimates do not include the costs of land purchase,
leases or right of ways. The Budget Construction Cost Estimates are summarized below. A
breakdown of the construction costs is included in Appendix E.
y Estimated Construction Cost (Power Plant Facility) $8,330,000
