III" COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL FOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE APPLICANT -PREPARED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT IN THE MATTER OF THE WOLF LAKE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 11508-000 I. INTRODUCTION This protocol provides a framework for documenting consultation and coordination among all participants, including Alaska Power & T etephone Company (AP& TL the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), Agencies, Native American tribes, special interest groups, non-governmental organizations, and other concerned individuals involved in the licensing of the Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project (Project No. 11508-000), located north of Hollis, on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. This proposed unconstructed 2.5 megawatt (MW) project is currently under a preliminary permit issued by the Commission to AP&T for 3-years, which expires on April 1, 1998. Under provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, AP& T (applicant) has elected to apply to the Commission for a hydropower license through the .. Applicant-Prepared Environmental Assessment" (APEA) process that will result in a single Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) being prepared at the same time as the license application. Preparation of the DEA will include information gathered during public scoping and analysis conducted under requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPAl. During the APEA process for this project, interested participants will be given the opportunity to formally comment: (a) during NEPA scoping, (b) when study requests are made, Ic) when study reports are made available, (d) when the draft application and PDEA are made available, and (e) when the Commission issues the notice of availability of its DEA after the license application is accepted. For this process to succeed, it is important that the participants provide timely comment and information. The opportunity for attaining formal party status through intervention in the licensing proceeding will occur after the license application is filed with the Commission and formal notice of the filing is made by the Commission. A preliminary draft environmental assessment (PDEA) will be prepared and distributed for agency and public comment prior to development of the DEA. The DEA will be the document included with the license application and together will provide the basis for possible issuance of a hydropower license for this project. Communication Protocol March 1I, 1997 Page 2 wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project Project No. II SO&-OOO ., I' Following adoption of this Protocol by the participants under the APEA application process, AP& T will formally request that the Commission waive certain regulations pertaining to licensing. AP&T will ask the Commission to/' (a) accept the DEA in lieu of an Exhibit E, (b) provide public notices for scoping, and the availability of studies, the draft license application, and POEA for public comment, (c) advance the time for submittal of requests for' additional studies to the time when initial field studies are completed, rather ,than during the Commission's review of the license application, (d) accept a summary of the three-stage consultation process in the application, and (e) establish a public reference file at the Commission to maintain monthly " progress reports. Particular care must also be taken to ensure that the Commission's \ regulations governing ex Darte communication with the Commission staff are followed. The following details regarding consultation and communication have been developed to foster the success of all aspects of the licensing effort. Included with this protocol is a signature sheet (A ttachment 1) to use for indicating your agreement to the following communication procedures. II. COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES: " In the course of preparing the license application and DEA, there will be meetings open to the general public. It is recognized that ample notice of such meetings is needed, and that transactions of such meetings require adequate documentation, especially since various constraints may prevent interested parties from attending all meetings. In addition, mechanisms are needed to establish the formal consultation record and since full communication among the participants in the APEA process is critical, and because the Commission's ex parte communication regulations (1 a CFR 385.2201) apply here, this Protocol ensures that all information is conveyed among the participants in a regular and predictable manner, and that all U. /UII1Jl communication regulations are followed. A. Participants in the Licensing Process The APEA process for the project, especially the scoping and review of the DEA, is open to the general public and their participation is encouraged. The regulations envision the active involvement of all concerned parties. A participant list (Attachment 2), compiled by AP&T, will be maintained to identify those agencies, organizations, individuals and groups that would participate in the APEA process for this project. The participation list will be used to provide notice of availability of information for public review, as well as notice of any public meetings to be held. Any concerned parties not Communication Protocol wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project Marth II, 1997 Project No. I 1501-000 Page 3 already on the list and who may wish to become a participant of this Communications Protocol, should contact: Mr. Glen Martin Project Manager Alaska Power & Telephone Corporate Office P.O.

GLEN MARTINlAP& T: INTRODUCTION I. DESCRIPTION Of THE APEA PROCESS IN ESSENCE: DO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ElEfORE THE APPLICATION fOR LICENSE RATHER THAN AFTER IT WAIVES THE REQUEST fOR ADDITIONAL STUDIES AFTER fiLING FOR LICENSE; INSTEAD THEY ARE DONE BEFORE THE APEA PROCESS REQUIRES ALL AGENCIES TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT TO THE PROCESS II. DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL NEED EMPHASIZED: THIS DOCUMENTS COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN ANY PARTICIPANT AND AP&T; PARTICIPANT AND THE COMMISSION; AP&T AND THE COMMISSION; OR PARTICIPANT AND BOTH AP&T AND THE COMMISSION COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN AGENCIES DO NOT NEED DOCUMENTED UNLESS THEY WANT IT TO BECOME PUBLIC RECORD CONTACT LOG SHEETS SHOULD BE UTILIZED AND INCLUDE ALL INfORMATION PERTINENT TO THE PROJECT SUCH AS: AGENCY NAME. CONTACT PERSON, TITLE(S). DATE OF COMMUNICATION. SUB..IECT OF COMMUNICATION, ISSUES DISCUSSED. AND ACTION TAKEN (IF ANY) QUESTIONS: ARE THESE CONTACT LOG SHEETS THE COMMISSION'S RESPONSIBILITY? CARL KELLERIFERC: NO. IT IS THE PERSON INITIALIZING THE CAU RELEVANT TO THE PROJECT. CHRIS ESTES/ADFG: 'NHA T ABOUT A GENERIC CALL REGARDING PROCESS PROCEDURES? CARL: If ITS NOT RELEVANT TO THE PROJECT THEN THERE'S NO NEED TO RECORD MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORTS WILL BE FILED WITH THE COMMISSION BY THE 15TH OF EACH MONTH BY THE APPLICANT (AP& 1). THEY WILL BE PLACED IN EACH OF THREE PUBLIC REFERENCE fiLES PLUS EACH PARTICIPANT SHALL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE COVER LETTER SUBMITTING THE PROGRESS REPORT TO THE COMMISSION ALONG WITH A LOG OF ALL COMMUNICATIONS FILED FOR THAT PERIOD. ANY PARTICIPANT MAY REQUEST A COPY OF ANY ITEM ON THE LOG FROM AP&T. III. WHY AP&T WISHES TO UTILIZE THE APEA PROCESS. PRIMARILY TO SAVE TIME IN THE LICENSING PROCESS. NOW IT TAKES AT LEAST 2·3 YEARS. IT WOULD SAVE DOLLARS IN THE LONG RUN, WHAT WITH INTEREST RATES INCREASING, INFLATION, HIGHER COSTS, ETC. IV. COMMENTS &QUESTIONS GARY PROKOSCHIDNR: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE TIMEFRAME AND SCHEDULE, AND WOULD THIS COMMUNICAnONS PROTOCOL REQUIRE CLOSER ACCOUNTING OF ALL COMMENTS? GLEN: THIS TIMELINE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL COMMUNICA TIONS PROTOCOL THAT WAS MAILED TO EACH OF YOU. REGARDING THE SECOND STAGE CONSUL TA TION • THIS WAS ALL OUTLINED IN THE COPY MAILED TO YOU. GARY: I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SCHEDULE. I HAVE ONE PERSON IN SOUTH EAST ALASKA TO WORK ON THIS, PLUS FIVE OTHER PROJECTS AND I'M NOT SURE WE CAN SIGN ON TO THIS PROTOCOL TO MEET THE TIME· FRAME. HOW DO WE DECIDE WHAT PROJECT GETS PRIORITY? WE HAVE TOO MANY OCCURRING IN SOUTH EAST AND I'M NOT SURE WE CAN MEET THESE TIME FRAMES. DAVE STURDIVANT/ADEC: I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THAT. NEARLY EVERY AGENCY HAS THE SAME ISSUES. WE DONT WORK FUllY ON HYDRO. VICKIDAVIS/uSF&WS: IS FERC STILL ON THE LINE? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR CARl. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WILL HAVE A ONE-TIME SHOT TO GET COMMENTS IN AND IF WE MISS THE DEADLINE, TOO BAD. ANN MILESIFERC: YOUR CONCERN IS IF YOU MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT BEFORE THE APPLICATION IS FILED, YOU MISS OUT. HOWEVER, THE MOST CRITICAL TIME OF COMMUNICATIONS IS AFTER THE APPLICATION IS FILED. AT THIS TIME FERC WILL ISSUE A NOTICE FOR COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS. THE GOAL WITH APEA'S IS TO GET AGENCY COMMENTS EARLIER IN THE PROCESS BEFORE THE APPLICATION FOR LICENSE IS FILED AND BEFORE THE APEA IS PREPARED IF POSSIBLE. SO THESE COMMENTS AND CONCERNS CAN BE DIRECTlY ADDRESSED IN THE APEA. IF DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE DURING THIS PRE· FLING. THEN I'M NOT SURE ITS A USEFUL PROCESS. AN AGENCY STILL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT GLEN: DAVE: VICKI: CHRIS ESTES/ADF&G: DAVE: ANN: AFTER FILING THE APPLICATION, BUT THEY ARE NOT AS USEFUL. IS THERE ANY WAY WE CAN HELP TO FACIUTATE THE AGENCIES REVIEWS? WE ARE QUITE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY. A LOT OF AGENCIES WORK OFF OF PERMITS. I AM INVOLVED WITH ACMP REVIEW PROCESS. CooRDIN- ATING AU PERMIITING IS REQUIRED. WE DO NOT FOLLOW AU HYDRO PROJECTS FROM A TO Z. IU COME IN AT THE STATE REVlEW ... IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER ITS APEA OR FERC PREPARED. THESE PROJECTS MOVE ALONG IN FITS AND STARTS. NO AGENCIES CAN FOllOW HYDRO ALONG DAILY. WE HAVE A VVHOlE RANGE OF PROJECT. AGENCIES DO THE BEST THEY CAN. GLEN .... PERHAPS YOU CAN GREASE THE SKIDS A BIT BY COMMUNICATING WITH THE KEY AGENCIES AND THOSE YOU HAVE TO GET PERMITS WITH. WE TOO FEW PEOPLE, TOO LITTLE TIME, TOO LITTLE DOLLARS. REGARDING THE SCHEDULE, A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME WOULD BE HELPFUL THIRTY DAYS RESPONSE TIME IS TIGHT; 45-60 DAY COMMENT PERIOD WOULD BE GOOD. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO COOR DINA TE MEETINGS AND MORE TELECONFERENCE CALLS SO WE KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. ALONG WITH THESE AND OTHER IDEAS FOR THE APEA WE USE FLOW CHARTS FROM FERC. BUT MAYBE WE NEED EXPLAINED WHAT IS EXPECTED AT EACH STAGE. ALSO IF ALL CORRESPONDENCE WAS LABELED AS RE· LA TED TO WHICH BOX (STAGE) ON THE FLOW CHART IT COULD BE HELPFUL AND NOT WASTE TIME REFERRING TO THE WRONG ITEM. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR FERC. REGARDING ALASKA, HOW DO THESE PROCESSES GO SMOOTHLY? 'MiArs YOUR PERSPECTIVE? RESULTS ARE A LlTILE MIXED. THERE IS DEFINITELY A LEARNING CURVE. ALASKA HAS THE LION'S SHARE OF APEA PROCESSES. THERE ARE A LOT OF ON-GOING PROJECTS. IN THE LOWER 48 THEY ARE MOSTLY ON RE-LICENSING. ON ORIGINAL PROJECTS YOU'RE WORKING THROUGH ON HOW ITS GOING TO OPERATE. COMMENTS ARE NOT SO SPECIFIC AND THIS CAN BE GOOD. WITH THE APEA PROCESS PEOPLE ARE ABIDING BY THE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL AND DOING THE MONTHLY REPORTS. APPLICANTS ARE FEELING ITS HARD TO GET COMMENTS ON TIME FROM THE AGENCIES. TELECONFERENCES ARE VERY USEFUL AND GET EVERYONE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH. TWO APEA PROJECTS FILED SO FAR. AND THEY NEEDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CHANGES. THE GOAL WITH THE APEA IS NOT TO NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION. DAVE: ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10. HOWS IT WORKING SO FAR? ANN: SO FAR ITS HARD TO TELL. WE'VE ONLY ISSUED ONE LICENSE. LOTS OF RE-LiCENSES IN THE EASTERN U.S. THEY TAKE 1 112 MONTHS TO GET OUT. THE FIRST ONE IN ALASKA IS MAHONEY LAKE PROJECT AND ITS TAKING LONGER THAN HOPED. DAVE: AND THE SECOND Ism GARY: RE: MAHONEY LAKE/POWER CREEKIWOLF LAKE .... WE HAVEN,. RECEIVED ANY APPLICATIONS AS YET. NO STATUTORY APPLICATION REQUEST TO REACT TO SO ITS HARD TO PUT ANYONE TO WORK ON THEM. ANN: ONE OF THE HOPES WITH THE APEA PROCESS IS THAT OTHER PERMITTING COULD BE MOVED AHEAD ALSO. DAVE: THESE WILL FIND THEIR OWN LEVEL. CHRIS: OTHER STATES HAVE SPECIAL GROPS TO DEAL WITH HYDRO. ALASKA OOES NOT. GARY, WHEN THESE FOLKS APPLY FOR WA rER RIGHTS, ARE THEY WORKED ON IN ORDER RECEIVED? 'Ill ~, GARY: YES. I'M NOT SURE WE CAN MEET THESE TIME FRAMES AND WE CAN,. SIGN THE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL IF WE CANT. WE HAVE EXPEDITED APPLICATIONS IN THE PAST. GLEN: GARY, WE DID FILEFOR WATER RIGHTS IN THE PRELIMI NARY STAGE. JOHN DUNKER IS FAMILIAR WITH OUR APPLICATION. WE DO HAVE PRIMARY WATER RIGHTS. GARY: YOU'RE SECOND IN LINE. AT THIS TIME THERE IS STILL BOA TWORKS TO CONSIDER. GLEN: I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT -WE DID FILE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. ??11 RE: THE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL. IS IT OKAY TO AGREE TO TRY AND MEET TIMELINES? ANN: IS IT WORTH EVERYONE'S TIME? WE ALL NEED TO AGREE TO THE TIMELINES. THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO BE SURE TO GET EVERYONE ON BOARD. DOESN,. FERC EXPEND THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME?1111 ANN: YES, SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT A FEW YEARS EARLIER. THE REAL GOAL IS TO SPEND TIME UP 1111 11?1 ANN: 11?1 GLEN: 111? VICKI: GARY: VICKI: ANN: GARY: CHRIS: LORRAINE MARSHALUDGC: FRONT AND ALLEVlA TE SPENDING MORE TIME WHEN LICENSE IS FILED. WE NEED TIME TO COLLECT SUFFICIENT DATA. IF WE KNOW THREE YEARS IN ORDER TO MAKE A GOOD ESTIMATE. AND IN ORDER TO FILE APPLICATION YOU NEED TO COLLECT THE DATA. ALONG WITH RE·LlCENSES AND OTHER CURVES THROWN AT US, HYDRO IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE IN ALASKA. IT REQUIRES MORE STAfFING AND WE OON'T HAVE IT. WHAT CAN WE 00 TO HELP? WHO CAN WE WRITE TO? THE LEGISLATURES AND SENATORS. WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NO FERC COORDINATOR IN OUR OFFICE. I THINK THE COMMUNICATIONS PROTOCOL IS A GOOD EFFORT TO DISCUSS THE PRO'S AND CON'S AND I SUPPORT IT 100%; ALSO ANY PRE· APPLICATION MEETINGS. THE PROBlEM SEEMS TO BE THE TIMEFRAME FOR RESPONSE. YES. AND WHAT OOES IT MEAN IF WE MISS A DEADLINE? WOULD A LETrER SUFFICE, SAYING WE CANNOT MEET A PARTICULAR DEADLINE, BUT WANT THE OPTION TO AT A LATER DATE? YES. COULD WE REQUEST AN EXTENSION? THERE IS AN OFFICIAL FILING RULE AFTER THE APPLI· CATION'S BEEN FILED. REGARDING THE COMMUNICA· TIONS PROTOCOL, YOU WON'T FOREGO YOUR OPPOR· TUNITY TO COMMENT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE CAN'T MEET DATES. MAYBE THE TRADITIONAL FILING IS THE WAY TOGO. I THINK THE APEA PROCESS IS GOOD AND I WOULD LOVE TO PARTICIPATE, BUT I STILL NEED APPROPRIATE STAFF. Irs NOT A LOT OF GOOD IF WE CAN'T PARTICIPATE. I AGREE WITH THE CONCERNS. BUT, BACK TO THE FLOWCHARTS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE AGREES TO USE THIS PROCESS. THE KEY IS THAT EVERYONE CAN MEET THE DEADLINES. ACCORDING TO THE APEA SCHEDULE, THE COMMUNICA· TIONS PROTOCOL WOULD BE SIGNED APRIL 4, AND THE SCOPING MEETING AND VISIT IN JUNE. COULD THERE BE SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THIS TIMEFRAME? HOW MUCH FLEXIBILITY FOR EXTENSIONS IN THE PRE·FILING STAGE? GLEN: IN THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE PRELIMINARY PERMITTING. WE HAVE Till MARCH 1998 TO APPLY FOR THE LICENSE. WE WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND SEE IF THIS COULD WORK FOR EVERYONE. WE ARE LIMITED TIME-WISE (NOT 2-3 YEARS). THE LICENSE APPLICATION IS DUE MARCH 1998. BOB GRIMMlAP&T: WE ALSO FACE FIXED BUDGETS, STAFF, AND TIME. AND TIME IS MONEY. THESE VERY SMAll PROJECTS ARE MARGINALLY FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE. IF STRETCHED OVER 3-6 YEARS, COSTS WOULD BE GREATLY INCREASED. WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS WORK. DAVE: WE Will FORGE AHEAD AND GIVE OUR BEST EFFORTS. DEPENDING ON HOW SIGNIFICANT THE ISSUE, THE AGENCY WILL PAY MORE ATTENTION. GARY: WE WILL TRY TO DO OUR PART WITHIN THE TIME FRAME, BUT WE'LL NEED SOMETHING FIRM TO MAKE A DECISION ON. LORRAINE: MAYBE SOME LANGUAGE CHANGES ARE NEEDED. SOMETHING TO ADDRESS PRE-FILING WITH OPPOR· TUNITY FOR MORE COMMENTS LATER. CHRIS: BUT THE ISSUE IS CAN WE MEET THESE TIMELINES? AND DON'T WE AGREE THAT FLEXIBILITY FOR EXTEN 'I' SIONS IS NEEDED? TIME IS MONEY, BUT WE WOULD TRY TO MEET THE DEADLINES. IT APPEARS THAT EVERYONE IS POSITIVE, BUT WE NEED TO COMMUNI CATE. LORRAINE/CHRIS: WE WILL WORK IT OUT AS WE GO. CARL: IN A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, THERE COULD BE THE SCOPING MEETING. INITIAL STUDY REQUEST. AND FINAL STUDY REQUEST WITHOUT THE AGENCIES PROVIDING ANY INPUT. EVERYONE MUST BE APPRISED OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES. CHRIS: YES. THERE COULD BE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WORKING ON DIFFERENT PROJECTS. CARL: IT WOULD BE A DILEMMA. CHRIS: THEN THE AGENCIES MUST FALL BACK TO THEIR PERMITS. THEY HAVE TO ATTEND TO THESE PRO JECTS. BARBARA: IF WE DO THE APEA AND THEN BECOME UNABLE TO BECOME VERY ACTIVE, CAN WE HAVE A FINAL OPPOR TUNITY FOR COMMENTS WHEN APPLYING FOR A LICENSE OR DO WE LOSE OUR CHANCE? , " ANN: NO. YOU STILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. BUT WHAT 1111 BARBARA: ANN: LORRAINE: ANN: CHRIS: BOB: DAVE: BOB: GLEN: LORRAINE: GLEN: IS LOST IS TYPES OF STUDIES AND ISSLIES TIiAT COULD BE ADDRESSED AND DISCUSSED DURING THE PRE· STAGE. COULD THE APPLICANT ASK THE COMMISSION TO DISREGARD THEIR COMMENTS BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO COMMENT EARLY ON? NO, BUT YOU WOULD LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK FOR ADDITIONAL STUDIES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALLOWED IN THE PRE·FILING STAGE AND WAIVED IN THE POST-FILING. HOWEVER, IF SOMETHING NEW CAME UP, YOU COULD BRING IT UP. THIS WOULD BE TRUE NO MAITER WHETHER IN APEA PROCESS UP FRONT OR NOT. IN THE TRADITIONAL FILING, YOU CAN REQUEST FINAL ADDITIONAL STUDIES, BUT ITS WAIVED IN APEA. IT MUST BE DONE DURING PRE·FILING. THIS IS WHY THIS TELECONFERENCE IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA. WEVE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL LICENSE FILINGS AND ALWAYS TALKED TO ANY AGENCIES THAT WOULD TALK TO US. WE WOULD THEN PUT THE STUDIES TOGETHER, THEN EXHIBIT E, AND SEND ON TO FERC. THE SAME THINGS ARE DONE, HOWEVER, APEA JUST PUSHES IT ALL FORWARD SO WE CAN GET MOVING. THIS IS WHERE AP& T NEEDS TO BE PRO-ACTIVE TO GET THIS TO HAPPEN. THE SCHEDULE GLEN SENT OUT IS TENTATIVE. THERE'S NO REAL CONTRACT YET. DON'T YOU THINK ITS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE AGREE ON WHAT EACH AGENCY'S CONCERNS ARE. THE INTENT OF THE TIMELINE IS ONLY A TENTATIVE SCHEDULE. ITS NOT SET IN STONE BUT OPEN TO INTERPRETATION. THIS IS WHY THE NEED FOR THIS FEEDBACK TODAY. WE ARE REFINING IT; ITS NOT A REAL CONTRACT, JUST THE STEPS NEEDED TO GET TO THE LICENSE FILING. IF I MIGHT MAKE A SUGGESTION: IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF CERTAIN ISSUES AND DATES WERE NOTED WITH AN ASTERIK IF THE DEADLINE IS MANDATORY. YES, I WOULD BE GLAD TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. ANN: GLEN: GARY: LORRAINE: 1111 DAVE: GLEN: CHRIS: Ii" , GLEN: CHRIS: GARY: BOB: VICKI: BOB: 1111 DAVE: BOB: GLEN: CHRIS: WHERE WOULD THE FINAL ADDITIONAL STUDIES REQUEST FIT ON HERE? LATER THIS MONTH OR IN THE SCOPING MEETING THE TIMELINE NEEDS RE·VISITED. WE ARE WILLING TO WORK OUT THESE BUGS WITH AU AGENCIES BY IDENTIFYING HOW MUCH MORE TIME WILL BE NEEDED. I KINO OF AGREE BUT WOLF LAKE IS ONE OF SIX PROTOCOLS I NEED TO SIGN AND I STIU ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON TO WORK ON THESE. SOME DEADLINES ARE MANDATORY IN THIS FRAME· WORK WHETHER PROTOCOL OR NOT. I HAVE A QUESTION ON SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IN THE PROTOCOL. WHAT WILL AP&T DO WITH THIS TELECONFERENCE? ANY COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS? THE FIRST THING I WILL 00 IS RE·DO THE TIMELINE AND APPROVE A SUMMARY. COULD WE TAKE SOME OF THE BOXES IN THE FLOWCHART AND MATCH THEM UP WITH THE TIMELINE. HOW MUCH TIME 00 I HAVE TO RESPOND TO THIS? NEXT WEEK. IF ITS NEXT WEEK, WE'LL PROBABLY SIGN WITH A CAVEAT IF NECESSARY. THAT WOULD BE AGREEABLE. WE WOULD NEED A COUPLE OF WEEKS. SOME AGENCIES ARE AGREEABLE WITH A CAVEAT. OR SOME CLARIFICATIONS ... I AGREE. I UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE AND AGREE TO IT. WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US? WE'LL TRY TO GET THIS OUT TO EVERYONE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. MAYBE WE'U HAVE ANOTHER TELECONFERENCE TWO WEEKS FROM NOW?

Box 222 RE: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Port Townsend, Washington 98368 Project, FERC .11508 Dear Mr. Martin: We have reviewed the Wolf Lake Field Study Results from the 1996 summer season. Our concerns regarding this project are directed toward the protection of anadromou5 fish resources, and we are pleased that surveys have been completed to determine the occurrence of spawning salmon. We would like to see further study efforts made to map the distribution of spawning fish and their redds. We also request that an instream flows methodology study or similarly accurate study be completed for the stream. Such a study should provide a model which relates discharge rates to water depths on critical reaches within the stream. Minimum discharge rates must be determined to assure that the identified spawning substrates remain inundated during sensitive life stage periods. Due to freezing temperatures, late winter and early spring runoff to streams can be very low. Natural flows within anadroMous fish streams may be insufficlent to inundate spawning areas resulting in high mortalities of salmon eggs and larva. Flow regimes on hydroelectric diversions can be regulated to assure inundation of spawning substrates during naturally occurring low-flow periods. We appreciate the opportunity to co~ent on this project. We will continue to assess this project with regard to its proposed design and its relationship to other uses of the drainage. We may provide additional comments in the future. Sincerely, ~T~~:::::'k~.

Box 21668 Juneau, AK. 99802-1668 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No.1 1508-000 Dear Mr. Grossman: I would like to follow up our telephone conversation that we had on May 21, '997. The following is a summary of our telephone conversation: II ~ ...... Called Andy Grossman, NMFS, 907-586-7358, to ask him about his letter dated May 20, 1997 that states, "We would like to see further study efforts made to map the distribution of spawning fish and their redds. n The letter then goes on to request an instream flow methodology study. I asked Andy why we would need to conduct the mapping of the spawning distribution when the anadromous reach is no longer than 100-150 feet in length and though the salmon use it, it is not extensively used. Andy said that the map does make it look rather small. I explained that what I thought was the key issue is where our tailrace discharges into the creek. I told him that the boat works presently (as far as I know) has their diversion and intake at the 80 foot elevation, about 500 feet back from the marine shoreline. That I did not think that they discharged any of their water into the creek. We are planning to discharge above the intake of the boat works so that they will have water and if they are not presently discharging into the anadromous reach then our discharge should be adequate. Andy said that that sounded good, he mentioned that the FERC may have something to say about the boat works not discharging into the creek. I told him that we have not said anything to FERC about it. Andy said there main concern would be the relationship with instream flows and the seasonallity of the stream regime. He was satisfied with our argument that the flows into the anadromous reach during critical spawning and redds time would be met by our discharge and a mapping of the creeks spawning habitat would not be necessary.

Box 21668 Juneau, AK. 99802·1668 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No.1 1508-000 Dear Mr. Grossman: In your letter of May 20, 1997 you request an instream flow methodology study, at this time we have not done one. We do offer the following information for your review, showing our calculations for the different drainage contributions to Wolf Creek. Enclosed is a worksheet and a drawing of the Wolf Lake drainage basin(s). We attempted to determine the area of the total basin (as measured at the Creek mouth). The USGS determined the drainage area associated with their gage as 1.54 sq. mi. We then identified smaller drainage's below the Lake drainage. We then named them and calculated their respective areas in square miles (Lake 1.54, North .027, West .21, East .0219, South.77). These areas total 2.5689 sq. mi. We then used actual measurements taken by on of our staff at the Creek mouth and correlated these with hourly flows from the USGS gage. In every case, except one, the flows measured at the Creek mouth were higher. I then took this difference and allocated to the North, West, East, & South drainage based upon their respective drainage areas. For estimating purposes I converted these flows to estimated percentages of flow contribution by sub-basin. The results of these calculations are shown on the work sheet and below. The estimated flow contribution by sub-basin is: Lake 53.32% North 1.22% East 1.00% West 9.53% South 34.93% Andy Grossman, NMFS " Lake H)'droelec:tm Project June 20, 1997 Project No. II S08-OOO·AK These percent contributions are estimates based upon spot measurements and such variable factors including lake level, weather, and exact timing will cause actual contributions to differ. The percentages listed reflect an overall estimate of contribution without any attempt to correct for variable factors affecting instantaneous flows. Ed Neil, of the USGS, has had the opportunity to review these calculations and did not find any problems with them. Sincerely, ~~7y~ Glen D.

Jim D. provided AP&T with a letter about the BBl Hydro project which comments on the trout population within the lake and requested a meeting with AP& T on this issue. We offered to stock the lake if necessary, as often as they felt was necessary and just requested guidance from them. We suggested that they get back to us soon regarding placing minnow traps to determine if there are anyone year old fish in the lake. The best time we said would be right after ice break-up. Jim D. agreed that would be the best time. Otherwise, we told him, we would have to wait another year to complete this study. Also, perhaps the last study of the five year study should be conducted in a different way than the last four years. If ADF&G is not getting the information they need, perhaps the study should be conducted differently and what better time than now to determine what is going on in the lake. Bob G. and Jim D. agreed that a meeting annually would be beneficial. Bob C. apologized to Dale B. regarding the memo that Glenn Freeman sent to Jim D. Bob C. explained that they should have shared the information that they had gone to Wolf lake and Black Bear lake to survey the trout populations and the data collected. Dale B. expressed his frustration with their (ADF&G) lack of communication. Bob C. explained that he was not as smart about protocol as he is now and that this sort of situation will not occur again and that some of the comments in the memo were not either fair or accurate and should not have been used. He acknowledged that the bad experience ADF&G had with the Summit lake Project had been partly responsible with their handling of the Wolf lake and Black Bear Projects last summer. Bob C. is now in charge of the project, which he wasn't last year. Bob C. indicated his current budget includes funds for ADF&G to examine Wolf lake and Black Bear Lake again this year. He expressed his interest in working cooperatively with AP& T on studies in p. 1 /'"\["&T LUNCH MEETING WITH ADF&G, MAY 9,1997 MEETING SUMMARY this and future years, and offered the use of their hoop traps and fyke nets that are sized so that the beaver will carry them easily. He has a video he can supply that shows them in action. Jim D. indicated he will be in Juneau to meet with various supervisors the week of May 12-16 and will try to get specific guidance on the Wolf lake Project. He suggested a face-to-face meeting in the near future would be a good next step to clarify ADF&G's policy on Wolf lake and to determine the best study plan for future studies. Bob G. brought up the letter AP& T received from NMFS regarding the BBl Hydro project and that it referred to repeated breaking of siphon and the de watering of the creek. Bob G. asked Jim D. where that kind of statement might have come from. Jim D. seemed to indicate that he was not sure. Glen M. questioned Jim D. about WL Hydro and when AP& T could expect comments on the field study results. Jim D. said the memo Glenn Freeman sent to him was their comments and said he thought we were going to set up a meeting. Meeting got side-tracked here and issue was not resolved. Glen M. asked Jim D. after the meeting what the next step should be with Wl Hydro, and Jim D. said he would talk with the higher level people the middle of next week and see what he could do. Glen M. made Jim D. aware that any more studies need to be initiated soon. p.2 Jia Durat -ADF'G, 08:1~ a 5/16/91, Wolf Lake Hydro To: Jim Durst -ADF&G From: Glen Martin <engrapt@olympus.net> ject: Wolf Lake Hydro \.."'!t; Bee: X-Attachments: Jim, thanks again for meeting with us last Friday, May 9th and also for the lunch.

Box 271 Klawock, AK. 99925 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No. 11508 Field Study Results Dear Mr. Durst: Thank you for your telephone call today. The following is in response to your suggestion that I list what ADF&G should be addressing right now regarding the Wolf Lake Hydro Project. I must admit that I am frustrated with the lack of response that the ADF&G has provided to date for the field studies we sent to you back in November, 1996. I don't feel the ADF&G internal memo we received (from Glenn Freeman to you) , which we had to request in order to get some feedback, adequately addressed our project. We did respond to that memo, in writing, but have not heard back from the ADF&G. Being that the internal memo was the only written communication we received from the ADF&G regarding Wolf Lake, it has been hard to determine what the next step is. I had hoped to have some concrete feedback that indicated whether specific studies were needed or previous studies continued and that we could discuss possible mitigation's regarding the potential loss of trout in the lake. Although we do not know what effect the lake draw-down will have on the trout, I think we should look at the possibility of the fish not being able to spawn. If we can find some mitigation for this issue, perhaps no further trout studies would be necessary. But this is the sort of thing we need to be talking about. It has been very frustrating, as I have mentioned, to not have Jim Durst, ADF&G w~ ,ake Hydroelectric Project June 10, 1991 Project No. II S08-000-AK a more proactive response from ADF&G. If further studies are going to be requested we may have lost some valuable time (Le. spring-summer) already this year. If we cannot get a response within the next 30 days, we will assume that, after more than 6 months, the ADF&G does not find any significant concerns with the results of the field studies. I will assume that the ADF&G agrees with our findings, does not see the need for further evaluation, and finds that no significant impacts will occur from our project as designed. This process has completely stopped as we have repeatedly sent communications (Le. telephone conversations, written inquires, e-mail's) to the ADF&G requesting the necessary and constructive feedback to move this project forward. The 6-7 months that have transpired since the field study results submittal without a response has altered our perception of the ADF&G as an organization, though I think we are mostly perplexed by this lack of response. The time is passing by in which we are closer to filing for our federal license (March, 1998) without ADF&G's input at this critical juncture. I await your reply. Sincerely, ~~.ry~ Glen D.

The Wolf Lake Hydro Project will intertie with an existing hydro project of the Applicants, the Black Bear Lake Hydro Project, which will reach peak load demand in 3-5 years. LOCATION Wolf Lake is located in Southeast Alaska, on the east side of Prince of Wales Island (POW)' near Kasaan Bay, along Twelve Mile Arm (See Figure 1). Wolf Lake is about 4 miles north of the association of Hollis, about 20 miles northeast of the City of Hydaburg, about 26 miles east of the City of Klawock, and 32 miles northeast of the City of Craig. The Wolf Lake Project is located within the Tongass National Forest, U.S. Forest Service (USFS) (CRM, T 73S, R 84E, Sec. 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 25, 34) and Alaska Department of Natural Resources land (ADNR) (CRM, T 73S, R 84E, Sec. 25, 26, 35). The total amount of Federal land enclosed within the proposed project boundary is about 172 acres. The approximate total acreage of State of Alaska land is 12.25 acres. The project area is unsurveyed and therefore is described by sections (based upon a 50-foot corridor from centerline of the diversion structure, penstock, powerhouse, transmission line, and mean high water of Wolf Lake). , The T ongass National Forest of the USFS has designated the lands around and within the project boundary as LUD III. LUD III indicates, "These lands will be managed for a variety of uses. The emphasis is on managing for uses and activities in a compatible and complementary manner to provide the greatest combination of benefits.,,1 The Project will utilize the natural flows into Wolf Lake. The natural surface elevation of the lake is about 1149 feet. Wolf Lake has a surface area of approximately 100.8 acres (See Figure 2). The elevations of the drainage basin around the lake vary from 1149 feet to 2744 feet. Wolf Lake has steep slopes around the west half of the lake with a more gradual slope on the east side, at the outlet. The outlet stream is called Wolf Creek. At Wolf Creek's mouth the first 150 linear feet is a anadromous stream. Numerous anadromous barriers exist from this point up to the lake (See Figure 3). The stream cascades through I Tongass National Forest Land Management Plan-Map, USFS, March, 1991. p.l i.

Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-I 1508 old-growth hemlock and hemlock-spruce forests. This stream is typified by cascades, a steep slope, and a narrow riparian habitat. HYDROLOGY The hydrology of the 1.51 square mile drainage basin surrounding Wolf Lake (based on estimates from the outlet of the lake) is currently being gaged to determine the annual flows by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and periodically by the Applicant. Current stream gage data, from the USGS, for the year 1996 is shown on Table 1. Estimated annual rainfall is about 110 inches for this area. The Applicant proposes siphoning the water out of the lake, utilizing the lake as storage. The lake draw-down may be as much as 20 feet. The lake has been measured to be approximately 222 feet deep, based upon a bathometric survey done during field studies in 1996. Preliminary estimates of the water available for hydropower have been conducted using flows from Black Bear Lake and Old Tom Creek. Both of these locations have or currently are being gaged by the USGS. Using this data, an extrapolation produced preliminary flow estimates for Wolf Lake. Black Bear Old Tom Cr. Wolf Lake Drainage (SO.MI.) 1.83 5.9 1.51 Mean Flow (CFS) 28 40.5 15.6 CFS/sq.mi. (CFS) 15.1 6.9 10.3 Using a mean flow of 15.6 cfs, the power potential of the average capacity of the project, at 1100 feet of head and an assumed efficiency of 77%, would be 1120 kilowatts with an average annual output of 9,800,000 kilowatt hours. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The Applicant has determined that the optimum level of development consistent with environmental considerations, the capability of the site, and the Applicant's needs for the southern Prince of Wales Island power supply system will require the use of the lake as storage. Estimates made to date of project construction costs and site hydrology indicate the maximum practical level of development to be in the range of 2 2.5 MW. To use the lake as storage, the intake would be placed in the lake and a siphon would be placed at the crest of the lake, to fill the upper portion of the penstock (See Figures 4, 5, & 6).

Pre Description for the 404 Certification AppJica WolfLake Hydroelectric Project-I 1508 be placed at the lake outlet, with a spillway crest at the average spring lake elevation, to better manage the water in the drainage basin. A valve vault would be placed below the siphon which will consist of a bypass valve to maintain instream flows during critical fish spawning and rearing periods. The penstock would be both on the surface and buried where appropriate and a 2-2.5 MW power plant will be located at about 100-feet in elevation, as shown in Figure 7. The transmission facilities will extend from the power plant to the present AP&T system in Hollis. A more detailed description follows for each project feature forming the basis for environmental and engineering studies for the project. Diagrams of erosion control methods attached at end of report. Diversion Structure The diversion would be located on the crest or lip of Wolf Lake, with the intake extended out into the lake to the approximate depth of 30 feet. In Figures 7a & 7b the plan and profile views of the headworks of the project are shown. The proposed small diversion structure would be made of concrete or wood cribbing, mortared rock, or other suitable material. A typical example of a diversion structure is shown in Figure 8. The diversion structure would be about 40 feet long and have a structural height of about 6 feet. The diversion would be designed and would incorporate a spillway of sufficient size to accommodate the probable maximum flood present in the drainage basin. The spillway will be placed at the average spring lake elevation. The diversion structure will not raise the level of the lake above current spring flows. The diversion structure would be constructed on bedrock, with some excavation of the bedrock possible, to maximize its structural integrity. The estimated excavated material may be 13 cu. yds. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 8. Intake The intake would be placed in the lake at a depth dependent on the capabilities of the siphon, but will probably be placed at approximately the 30 foot depth to potentially draw the lake down, during peak use, by 20 feet. The intake would consist of a screening devise to draw the water out of the lake. A 24-inch or smaller penstock would be utilized from the intake to the valve vault and a 20-inch penstock to the powerhouse. The intake may extend about 400 feet into the lake. The pipe would be buried in a 3 foot wide trench, 6 feet deep for about 200 feet (the rest of the penstock will rest on the lake bottom), as shown in Figures 7a & 7b. The estimated excavated and fill material would be approximately 133 cu. yds.

The lake bed is expected to be primarily bedrock. Siphon The siphon would be placed at the crest or lip of the lake and would be used to fill the upper portion of the penstock, from the intake to the valve vault. At the siphon crown a 8 x 20 foot building will house a vacuum pump and controls for establishing, maintaining and breaking the siphon. The vacuum pump will only operate when initially filling the siphon and if air accumulates in the siphon crown during operation. The vacuum break valve provides a means of draining the siphon and also can be used to shut off the water flow in the penstock. The building and equipment will be powered and controlled from the powerhouse. The power and control conductors would be enclosed in steel conduits attached to the above ground penstock or buried next to any buried penstock. These same conduits will provide power and controls to the valve vault. The siphon house would be constructed near the diversion structure on bedrock. Estimates for the amount of excavated material for the siphon house is 18 cu. yds. For the penstock, between the siphon house and valve vault, the estimated excavated material is 100 cu. yds. The penstock will traverse part of the slope above ground, along Wolf Creek, until the ridge beyond the bend in the creek is met, at this juncture the penstock will be buried until beyond the ridge. The above figure of 100 cu. yds. for the penstock is assuming the entire penstock must be buried from the siphon house until beyond the aforementioned ridge. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 9. Valve Vault The concrete valve vault would be below the siphon house, near the middle pond. The insulated valve vault will be approximately 10 feet wide by 12 feet long. The automated valves will be provided with normal and backup power from the powerhouse. The purpose of the valve vault is to allow the controlled operation of the intake and for gradual filling of the lower penstock. The valve vault will also have a bypass valve to provide instream flows when necessary for fish spawning and rearing habitat in the ponds. The valve vault will contain a 20-inch, or smaller, diameter butterfly valve. p.4 '" ~ f\------71-------------------- I IIIfX:O\I[R , LWC\IUII .-,, _____ ---0 ------..,-I I =it/)-<"'D "'D oX ." -»0 Ci) SILT FENCING MAY 81! ....

The estimated excavated material may be 13 cu. yds. Soils are thin here, so the estimated excavated materials may be less. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 10. Penstock The penstock will convey water from the intake to the powerhouse. The penstock will be above ground, supported on saddles or buried where possible. The penstock will be approximately 20-inches or smaller in diameter and approximately 8000 feet long. Figure 11 shows the approximate penstock route and the type of terrain and vegetation the penstock will typically pass through. Some areas are more heavily forested than in these photographs. The penstock will either be made of steel or HDPE. The penstock construction may displace up to 400 cu. yds. of material to either place penstock saddles or to bury the penstock in certain locations. The whole penstock corridor is not a wetland however, so the exact amount of excavated material in wetlands may be approximately 150 cu. yds. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 12. To minimize the effects of placing the penstock through vegetation and creating erosion and sedimentation problems, brush along the penstock corridor may be cut back rather than uprooted between the penstock saddles. Up at the wetlands, directly below the lake, the penstock will be placed on saddles to minimize excavation of the muskeg and ponds with a saddle placement from between 30-60 feet apart. The penstock can be pulled into place to also minimize impacts. Powerhouse The powerhouse will be a prefabricated metal building, approximately 30 feet by 40 feet by 20 feet high, located on a reinforced concrete foundation. The powerhouse will be located at approximately EI. 100, as shown in Figures 13 & 14. The powerhouse will contain one impulse type horizontal shaft turbine. The unit will be rated about 2.5 megawatts at about 1100 feet of net head. The powerhouse would be constructed on bedrock, with some excavation of the bedrock possible, to maximize its structural integrity. The powerhouse is not in a wetlands and should not of itself have any impacts to wetlands.

Tailrace A tailrace channel, approximately 100 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 6 feet deep will be provided to conduct powerhouse discharges from under the turbine case and through a conduit into the existing creek bed, which flows into Twelve Mile Arm and Kasaan Bay. The tailrace will discharge water above the intake of the existing boat works hydro plant. The tailrace construction will require excavation of the bedrock and soils. However, only about 75 cu. yds. of excavated or fill material will be placed in or near a wetland (Wolf Creek). Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 15. Transmission A step-up transformer will be next to the powerhouse. The transformer will be supported on a concrete foundation. The 3,000 kVA transformer will step up the voltage from the generator's 4,160 volts to 12.5 kV, for transmission to Hollis to connect with the existing transmission line. The 12.5 kV transmission line will go overhead using a corridor surveyed for wildlife habitat during the summer of 1996. The transmission line corridor has a mean elevation of approximately 300± 50 feet as shown in Figure 16. The corridor will be approximately 50 feet wide and approximately 2.3 miles long. It is estimated that approximately 42 poles will be required along the transmission corridor. The transmission line will require clearing of a right-of-way corridor. Some disruption of soils will occur in the process of creating an access road along the transmission line route and in placing the poles. Although, some poles may be anchored into bedrock, the estimated excavated material may be 70 cu. yds for the transmission line poles. Not all of the transmission line poles will be placed in wetlands, particularly as they will be spaced up to 300 feet apart. However, clearing of trees along the line will be necessary and a cat road constructed along the transmission line corridor.

Though much of the project could be constructed using boats, barges and helicopters a road will be necessary to service and maintain the transmission line and would provide easier year round access to this proposed hydro project. To access the penstock route, valve vault, and diversion structure site a cat road, or a temporary tram or series of trams may be used to move equipment and materials up the slope during construction. Other access to the lake may be by float plane. Helicopters may also be used to transport construction personnel and material to the lake and slope areas. A primitive path may also be established along the penstock route for future inspection and maintenance of the penstock and upper works. The access road will require clearing of a right-of-way corridor. Some disruption of soils will occur in the process of creating an access road along the transmission line route. Several significant streams must be crossed with small bridges (possibly made from trees cleared for the road). The estimated width of the road will be approximately 1 5 feet, as far as ground disturbance. Trees will need to be cleared to within approximately 50 feet of centerline of the transmission line with the lower vegetation remaining to keep the soils stabilized. Not all of the estimated excavated material will be in wetlands. It is estimated that 2,000-3,000 cu. yds. of material could be excavated in wetlands in the construction of this access road. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 17. MODE OF OPERATION Wolf lake would be used for storage to supplement other power sources (Black Bear lake Hydroelectric Project (BBl) and AP&T's Craig diesel generators) to equalize the power generation throughout the year. It is expected that BBl Hydro will, within the near future, reach full capacity and the Wolf lake Hydroelectric Project will be able to continue to provide non polluting energy to fill the energy needs of the communities of Prince of Wales Island. p. 7 Pn Description for the 404 Certification Applica Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-11508 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING GENERAL Prince of Wales Island is rugged and mountainous and has low to moderate relief with elevations generally of 3,000 feet or less, but some are as high as nearly 4,000 feet. The mountains are dissected by deep, steep-sided, glacial valleys, and fjords. The island has an abundance of lakes. Most of the streams are small and short, with steep, irregular profile characteristics of the early stage of stream development. The climate of the Project is maritime, typified by cool summers, relatively mild winters, long periods of almost continuous cloudy or foggy conditions, and year-round precipitation. Temperature extremes occur in both winter and summer. At Hollis, approximately 3 miles south of the proposed Project, the mean annual temperature is 44.2 F. The average temperature at Hollis in January (the coldest month) is 32.4 F and the average temperature in August (the warmest month) is 58.1 F. The mean annual precipitation at the proposed Project is about 110 inches, induced by the area's high elevation and steep mountain topography. Much of the precipitation at the Wolf Lake Project area during the colder winter months occurs as snow. Wolf Lake is often frozen until late spring. Wolf Lake is a moderately high, perched, cirque lake that drains about 1.51 square miles of steeply sloped forested land. The forest around Wolf Lake consist of stands of old-growth hemlock, hemlock-spruce, and muskeg forest. The ridges and peaks around the lake are either alpine meadows or bare rock. Inflow into Wolf Lake consists primarily of intermittent streams that drain deep snowfields located in the alpine areas around the west half of the lake. Wolf Lake occupies a bedrock basin in a U-shaped hanging valley at an elevation of 1,149 feet. The elevations of the surrounding peaks and ridges are generally between 2,000 and 2,700 feet. Wolf Lake naturally discharges through a notch cut in the bedrock rim at the lower end of the lake, forming Wolf Creek. Wolf Creek is a high gradient, contained channel within a narrow valley bottom. According to the Revised Tongass Land Management Plan, "Channel banks are steep and generally composed of large material, either consolidated bedrock or well-packed boulders and cobbles. The riparian vegetation when present along these streams are narrow strips « 20 feet) of alder, salmonberry, devil's club, or currant/brush communities. The upper p.8 Pn Description for the 404 Certification Applic, Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-II 508 steep banks of these incised streams have mosaic plant communities of dense conifers and shrubs. The channels are predominantly influenced by the upland or terrestrial plant communities. Soils in the adjacent upland area are often shallow and subject to downslope movement. Leaves, forest litter, and trees often move downslope into these incised channels when disturbance occurs. "2 BOTANICAL RESOURCES There are two Category 2 plant species that potentially occur in Southeast Alaska. They are Thurber's reed grass (Calamagrostis crassiglumis), and Carex lenticularis var. dolia. Information concerning these plant species is limited (USF&WS 1995). Sensitive Plants Survey No sensitive plants were observed in the project area. In Figures 18 & 19 one of the wetlands along the transmission line route is shown. The bog orchid Platanthera orbiculata, as shown in Figure 20, seen at two sites along the proposed transmission line route, is not on the Tongass National Forest Sensitive Plant List, however it is presently on the Nature Conservancy Rare Plant List and will possibly by added to the list used by the Alaska Forest Service in the near future. In Figure 20, the orchid is found at the 300-foot elevation in stands of western hemlock, red cedar, and blueberries. The slope here is approximately 15%. The canopy cover is approximately 95%. WATER QUALITY The water quality is good, probably because of the remote location of the lake. The proposed project is not expected to adversely affect water quality. There may be temporary turbidity in the creek resulting from the construction of the diversion structure and possibly from the construction of the powerhouse and tailrace. The possible increase in turbidity would be addressed by employing measures to avoid or reduce sediment production and dispersal. These measures will be detailed in the erosion and sedimentation control plan to be included with the forthcoming Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) that will be submitted in lieu of an Exhibit E in the license application and will be available for agency review and comment as a part of the three stage consultation process. There are many streams that enter Wolf Creek from below the lake outlet with water unrelated to the lake. The Applicant believes that there may be 2 Tongass Land Management Plan Revision, Supplement to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Alaska Region, RIO-MB-146, August, 1991. p.9 .. /1 SITE ORBICULA TA" IN FIGURE LO Forty ~Pound Point ~ ::::!o ~ -......J TRANSMISSION LINE 4.J Clark 8~OINS WITH EXISTING LINE ~ ~ n FERRY TERMINAL "-.

Because of the steep nature of the stream and its banks, the riparian habitat is very narrow and impacts are not expected to be significant. Water is currently being used by a boat works, as in Figure 21, near the mouth of Wolf Creek with a small 3.5 kW hydroelectric plant. The boat works water is presently drawn out of the creek about 550 feet behind the boat works above several anadromous barriers. The Wolf lake Hydro Project would spill the waters drawn from the lake back into the creek, just above the boat works hydro project intake. This would provide uninterrupted flows for the boat works hydro plant and would also provide water during the winter when the flows would normally be below the amount the boat works would require. In addition, the powerhouse discharge will also provide and maintain instream flows to the anadromous reach of the creek throughout the year. p.IO o",-,~"n-"'1 I' • • • • • -- ..",. f' , ~ , .~:..,;:::. ., • TWO STAKES TO MAINTAIN• • AS REQ'O ,.... • JiQIt.; BECAUSE OF' BEDROCK IN II \I SO"E AREAS.

Martin Project Manager Alaska Power and Telephone Company Post Office Box 222 Port Townsend, WA 98368 Dear Mr. Martin: Your request of April 21, 1997, for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to construct a proposed Federally licensed hydroelectric project (Wolf Lake) near Klawock, Alaska, has been received. It has been assigned 9-970333, which should be referred to in all future correspondence with this office. Our preliminary review of your application indicates your project may be permitted in accordance with the conditions of one or more DA Nationwide permits. We have determined that more information is essential before we can respond to your request. We are particularly interested in determining details of the transmission lines, and what part of the transmission lines and access roads will be approved as part of the project works. Please also note we cannot issue a final determination regarding the applicability of NWP 17 until the FERC issues a license. Please provide the following information: a. A copy of the Order Issuing Minor License and environmental assessment for the subject project. Please provide the approved descriptive project exhibits as available [e.g., exhibits (a) (c) (e) and (f)]l, and; b. A complete description of temporary construction, access and dewatering measures that will be required to construct the project, including cofferdams and similar measures. c. Please ensure that a description of the transmission lines and access road approved as part of the project works is included with your submission, please provide design details for all portions of the transmission lines not approved as part of the' project works. d. We note that 2,000 to 3,000 cubic yards of material may be excavated from the transmission line/access road corridor. Based on your application, it is not clear what the limits of these wetlands are, or what effect your planned access road will have on wetlands. If the planned excavation for the access road would require more than minor impacts to the wetlands, an individual permit may be required for installation of the road and transmission line. In order to assist Us in our assessment, please provide the limits of the wetlands along the transmission line corridor. Provide an estimate, in linear and square feet, of the area of wetlands to be disturbed. -2 The terms and conditions of NWPs #12, 17 and 33, which may authorize your proposed work, requ~re a notification to resource agencies within the State of Alaska. Upon receipt of the requested information, we will begin the notification process. Regarding state certification pursuant to Section 40: of the Clean Water Act, please note that certification has been granted for each Department of the Army Nationwide Permit; no additional certification is required. However, additional water quality certification may be required pursuant to the FERC licensing process. For additional information regarding State of Alaska certifications, permits and procedures, please contact Ms. Jen Garland at the Alaska Division of Governmental Coordination at(907) 465-3562. Your pyompt attention to this matter will exped:te processing your request. If you have not pyovided the required information within 30 days of the date of this letter, we will close your file. Closure of your file at such time will not preclude you from re-opening the file at a latey date should you wish to do so.

Box 898 Anchorage, AK. 99506-0898 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project Project No. 11508 404 Certification Permit Application File No. 9-970333 Dear Mr. Hayes: Regarding your voice-mail of May 1, 1997 I am providing the following 'I " information describing the basis of our estimation of the amount of excavated material for the access road. The access road will be approximately 14,000 linear feet in length and 15 feet wide. Some parts of the road will be on level ground so that little excavation will be required. Other sections of the road will be on stepper grades than shown in the attached cross section, thus the slope shown in the cross section ;s an average, to the best of our knowledge. The estimated excavated material is based on the following: the cut into the slope would be approximately 9 feet and slope up at the shoulder of the road approximately 10.5 feet, meeting the natural ground contour. This gives us an average excavation of 38.9 sq. ft. In addition, the estimated area of fill along the downward slope of the road would be approximately 6 feet by 7 feet giving us an estimated fill of 17.3 sq. ft. The excavated material (38.9 sq. ft.) will be used to fill the downslope shoulder of the road. Because of the slope some areas will require more fill and others less so that no extra material from excavation is expected. The total estimated excavation and fill would be 56.2 sq. ft. per foot. The total estimated excavation and fill for the length of the road will be 29,141 cu. yd. The estimate of excavation and fill in the 404 Certification Application was 2,000-3,000 cu. yd., which would be 7·'0% of the total estimated material. Daniel Hayes, Dept. of An•." \};ulfLake Hydroelectric Project Pennit Processing Section Project No. II SOI-OOO-AK May 16, 1997 There is only one wetland identified on the National Wetlands Inventory (see attached maps) that is possibly within the access road corridor, the wetland is classified as PF04B. P = Palustrine FO = Forested 4 = Needle-Leafed Evergreen B = Saturated I believe this is the wetland photographed in the 404 Certification Application I sent you. This wetland could potentially require 3,122 cu. yd. of excavated and fill material if the access road passes through its approximate 1,500 foot length, as defined by the wetland inventory. I don't believe the road will however pass through the wetlands entire length. Other smaller wetlands are the creek crossings, of which there may be three or four. The small creeks may be channeled through a conduit under the road bed. One creek in particular may require a small bridge, possibly constructed from the trees removed in clearing the road. I believe the percentage of materials expected to be placed in wetlands (7 10%), in relation to the total materials moved, to be a very conservative estimate. , .. In addition, in response to your letter of May 12, 1997 item a., a copy of the order for issuing a license will not occur until approximately May, 2000 at the approximate time the license is issued. Item b., license application level drawings will be included in our license application to be filed in March, 1998. Erosion and sedimentation control methods will be addressed in that filing. Item c., all portions of the transmission line and access road will be covered by the FERC license. Item d., was addressed earlier in this letter. I am also sending a copy of this document to Dave Sturdevant, DEC for the 401 Certification. If you need further clarification, please call 1-800-982 0136 or fax me at 360-385-7538. ;;1';7d Glen D.

The cost to construct and instrument the new gaging station is $25,000. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) currently has no federal matching monies available in FY 1995. Therefore the entire construction cost ($25,000) would have to be provided by the Department of Community and Regional Affairs (DCRA). Annual operation and maintenance costs for a five year period (1996 to 2000) are shown in the table below. These costs are estimated and may need to be revised based on actual oper· ations costs. Additionally, federal matching funds for fiscal years 1996-2000 will depend on congressional appropriations.

This would make stream flow data available real· time (about every .. hours). If satellite telemetry is wanted, instrumentation costs would increase $4,100 in 1995, and operations and maintenance costs would increase $1,500 each of the next five years. We have enclosed a Joint Funding Agreement for the construction of the gage ($25,000) and operations and maintenance costs for 1996 to 2000.

Along the Pacific Coast, spawning activity is initiated when water temperatures rise to 3-6° C, and active spawning occurs when daily maximum temperatures reach 6-9OC. In SE Alaska, spawning typically occurs between late March and early July. Most western trout first spa\\'TI 2-4 years after their parents had spawned. Spawning Behavior and Development Trout typically arrive on their spawning grounds days or even weeks before spawning takes place. Females explore gravel bottoms to find sites for suitable beds and begin their digging.. or cutting motions. When suitable sites are found (see below), the females will dig an oval bed at least as long as their body length and several inches deep. Courting activity by males increases until bed construction is complete, when actual spaYtTIing occurs. The female releases a few hundred to a few thousand eggs into the nest which are then fertilized by spawning males. Newly released eggs are sticky and attach to the gravel. The female then covers the eggs with gravel to a depth of up to several inches. This egg bearing nest is called a "redd"". Development of Rainbow Trout depends on temperature, with development to hatching taking about 30 days at I 0 "C. After hatching, trout fry remain in the gravel for several weeks. Newly hatched fry are unable to feed and draw nutrients from a yolk sac that is resorbed as the fish grow. After several weeks tbetrout have grOYtTI enough to work their way up through the gravel to open water where they begin to feed This is the emergent stage. Habitat Constraints Rainbow Trout evolved to spawn in flowing waters that circulate dissolved oxygen through the redd. Embryos need the most oxygen when their development is most rapid. Typically this occurs just before hatching at a time of rising water temperatures. Most rivers during the spring have supersaturated levels of dissolved oxygen., but the crucial concentration is at the surface of the egg and this depends on the penneability of the redd. With very low water flow or if gravels become clogged with fine sediment, insufficient oxygen may be available for successful Page 1 of 2 embryonic development. Consequently. Rainbow Trout spawning habitat is usually in clearwater streams with a sufficient flow to ensure good circulation of oxygenated water through the redd. Coarse gravels are the most commonly seen areas in which redds are constructed. In most streams, spawning takes place on the riffle above a pool. In this transitional area where water velocity is accelerating, water is forced through the substrate and the gravel is relatively easy to evacuate and free of silt and debris. Lake populations of Rainbow Trout typically enter an inlet or outlet stream to spawn. In some lake populations, the emergent fry will spend 1-3 years in the spawning stream before returning to the central body of the lake. In some instances, Rainbow Trout populations in lakes without accessible inlet or outlet streams are capable of reproducing in the lake itself where there are gravel areas with upwelling water. While instances of this behavior are well known, the spawning behavior and environmental characteristics of the redd areas have not been well studied. It is assumed that redds within the lake are in areas that have sufficient interstitial flow of water to ensure the developing embryos receive a good flow of cool, oxygenated water.
