NATIONAL FOREST OR AREA STATE GRASSLAND The …on the Kenai Peninsula…along Chugach AK the Seward Highway (Timber Association, Ketchikan, AK - #43609.64351) Please do not include the Tongass or Chugach forests in the Chugach, Tongass AK final roadless plan. (Federally Elected Official, Anchorage, AK - #13560.92300) The State of Alaska is revising its regional ferry/road system to Tongass AK allow more efficient and economical travel throughout Southeast Alaska. Access must be preserved for the State's regional ferry/road transportation system. 1. On Prince of Wales Island, communities that are connected, or may be connected in the future by roads and powerlines include: Hydaburg, Klawock, Craig, Hollis, Kasaan, Thorne Bay, Naukati, Coffman Cover, Whale Pass, Calder mine, Laboucher Bay, Point Baker, and Port Protection. In addition, hydroelectric sites in the higher elevations of Prince of Wales Island need to be identified in order to eventually replace or supplement electric demands in these communities.

B-36 Summary of Public Comment on Roadless Area Conservation

NATIONAL FOREST OR AREA STATE GRASSLAND 2. The current road access between Cape Pole and Edna Bay must be preserved. In addition, a hydroelectric facility servicing those communities may be feasible in the Mount Holbrook area on Koskiusko Island. 3. There must be a road corridor and power line corridor between Kake, Kupreanof and Petersburg to be developed when future economics make the project feasible. 4. Sitka must be allowed to have a road corridor to Rodman Bayon Peris Straits for potentially more efficient ferry access. 5. Although not warranted at the present time, there must be provisions for a future road and electrical intertie between Hoonah and Tenakee Springs. 6. Allowances must be made for a power line easement between Juneau, Greens Creek mine, and Hoonah. 7. Road access from Skagway and Haines to Juneau needs too be preserved along both shorelines of Lynn Canal so that the best access to Juneau can be preserved. In case the Taku River road becomes more viable, a road corridor must be included in any transportation plan. 8. In the future, Rowan Bay may find a source for hydroelectric power to replace diesel generation. The best sources probably are in the watersheds along the ridge that fronts onto Chatham Straits.
