The ICP is the principal focus ofdiscussion during the first stage ofconsultation. G BACKGROUND Lake Dorothy Hydro, Inc. (LDHI) was incorporated on August 24, 1995. LDHI is a ·lJ.Ff subsidiary ofthe Alaska Energy Resources Company, and is an affiliate ofthe Alaska Electric Light & Power Company (AELP). Persons responsible for development ofthe proposed Lake Dorothy Hydroelectric Project (project) serve AELP in its operation ofthe licensed Annex Creek and Salmon Creek Projects located in the City and Borough of 8 Juneau, FERC Project No. 2307. Annex Creek Project lands are under the jurisdiction of the US Forest Service (USFS) and requires annual consultation with USFS staffregarding ~ maintenance and operation. AELP's stewardship ofnatural and social resources established in its record ofoperating the Annex/Salmon Creek Project for over 30 years G will be applied to the proposed Lake Dorothy Project. On August 24, 1995, LDHI applied for a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) preliminary permit to investigate the feasibility ofdeveloping the Project. The permit was j} issued by the FERC on January 5, 1996, and assigned FERC Project No. 11556. The permit term is 36-months, and sets the License Application filing deadline no later than January 1, 1999. LDHI is beginning its First Stage Consultation by submitting this ICP. o The ICP complies with the FERC's consultation requirements for filing for an Application for License for the proposed Project. o During the permit term, LDHI will consult with the resource management agencies and the public to determine what effects this project will have on the environment and the economy ofJuneau. LDHI will gather the necessary information to present in the FERC D License Application. D PROPOSED PROjECT LDHI proposes to develop the Lake Dorothy Project by tapping into the lake to develop ''11 reservoir storage for inflow regulation. The Project would include a combination power \' tunnel and underground penstock approximately 3 miles in length for water conveyance to a surface powerhouse near tidewater. The powerhouse would contain two impulse-type D turbines that could develop approximately 31.4 MW ofcapacity from the 2,400 ft. of available static head. A submarine cable transmission line, approximately 4-1/2 miles in length, would be necessary to intertie to an existing transmission line running from the g. Snettisham Hydro project into Juneau. Average annual energy from the Project is 9 [J 1 Q Q estimated to be 166,400 MWh (this equates to about 40% ofthe existing hydroelectric capacity for the Juneau power grid). R Jj LOCATION The proposed Lake Dorothy Project is located approximately 16 miles southeast ofJuneau G (Lat. 58° 14.7' N., Long. 133° 58.4'W.) on the east shore ofTaku Inlet between Greely and Jaw Points. Lake Dorothy lies at an elevation of 2421 feet, approximately 3 miles J from the south shore ofTaku Inlet. The Project is located within the Tongass National '-.O-:,' Forest, US Forest Service (USFS) (CRM T42S, R70E, Sec. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 18,21,22,27; T42S, 69E, Sec. 1,12, 13,22,24,26 and 35). The total amount of ;0U Federal land enclosed within the project boundary is about 5,600 acres. The Project area has been extensively evaluated by the US Bureau ofReclamation as part ofa hydropower evaluation ofLake Dorothy that extended from 1948 through 1954. 8 Preliminary feasibility investigations conducted as a prelude to compiling this report included a preliminary environmental assessment, preliminary hydrology and power fll studies, and a preliminary geology report. HYDROPOWER IN JUNEAU L r-~j The climate and topography ofSoutheast Alaska are ideally suited for hydroelectric generation, and many communities, including Juneau, are isolated from interconnection, JJ!Ill.,' and derive a large portion oftheir energy from thissource. Having barriers ofthe ocean, mountains and glacier, Juneau's remote location is blessed With the geophysical characteristics that lends itselfto hydroelectric development. Juneau also has a history of ,01 obtaining energy from long term, reliable hydropower sources. The projects listed below continue to supply Juneau with hydroelectric ener~. f1;,I,i U' • The Gold Creek Project, in downtown Juneau, is a "run-of-the-river" project and was originally constructed in 1904; • Annex Creek Project, located on Taku Inlet was constructed in 1915; D • Salmon Creek Project, 3-miles from downtown Juneau, was constructed in 1915; and • The federally owned Snettisham Project began operating Long Lake in 1973, D the Crater Lake addition came on line in early 1990. e Hydropower has a number ofadvantages as a means ofgenerating electricity.

This offers consumers long term rate stability unlike G fossil fuel derived energy, which is dependent upon foreign oil and fluctuating prices. the major consideration when deciding the feasibility ofdeveloping hydropower is finding a n~:,.';', site that can be developed economically.

  • Place-Based Salmon Management in Taku River Tlingit Territory
    STRIVING TO KEEP A PROMISE: PLACE-BASED SALMON MANAGEMENT IN TAKU RIVER TLINGIT TERRITORY by Susan L. Dain-Owens B.A. Dartmouth College, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June, 2008 © Susan L. Dain-Owens, 2008 ABSTRACT The Taku River Tlingit First Nation of Northwest British Columbia harvests salmon for commercial, cultural, and sustenance purposes. In this case study I describe the current co-management process of the Taku River salmon fishery as it exists between the First Nation and the Canadian and Alaskan governments, drawing primarily on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2007. In the past, Tlingit families spent the summer on the lower Taku River and vicinity, fishing as part of the seasonal round. Today many families continue to fish on the Taku, and life downriver is a rhythmic blend of hard work and rest. I experienced the knowledge sharing, cooperation, and flexibility that exists downriver and caught a glimpse of a particular Tlingit worldview. There exists a sense of community on the river between the Tlingit fishers, the non-native fishers, and scientists from both Alaska and Canada. Interaction and cooperation between these stakeholders occurs at different scales from individual to international. In both politics and daily life downriver, worldviews become intertwined in a dynamic play between the groups. Though problems and misunderstandings can arise at these junctures, the potential for knowledge sharing across these boundaries exists and should be recognized.

  • Douglas Indian Association, 2017
    Douglas Indian Association Anax Yaa Andagan Ye ̴̴ Sayeik Where the Sun Rays Touch First ̴̴ Spirit Helper Chief Anatlaháash of the T'aaku Tribe DOUGLAS INDIAN ASSOCIATION Federally recognized Tribe since 1934 The A`akw Kwáan & T`aaku Kwáan Tribal History 811 West 12th Street Juneau, Alaska 99801-1529 Phone: (907) 364-2916 Fax: (907) 364-2917 Background Douglas Indian Association (DIA), is the historical federally recognized Tribe of the Juneau, Douglas and Auke Bay region. While DIA also has members with other Alaska Native and American Indian lineage, it is primarily comprised of direct descendants of the Tribe’s original Base Roll membership originating from the T'aaḵu Kwáan and A'akw Kwáan clans which inhabited Anax YaatAndagan Yé (Douglas) and Dzantik'i Héeni (Juneau) since time immemorial. Some of the clans of DIA’s tribal territory are the Yanyeidí, Tsaateeneidí, Gaanaxádí, Ishkahittáan (T’aaku Kwáan), and L'eeneidí, Wooshkeetaan, L’uknax.adí (A’aakw Kwáan). DIA became a federally recognized tribe in 1934. Through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971, the State of Alaska conveyed lands to Native corporations formed under ANCSA, but no lands were conveyed to the Tribe(s). DIA’s traditional and historical territory encompasses the City and Borough of Juneau, as well as some areas to the east and north on Admiralty Island and the Chilkat Peninsula, to the south including Endicott Arm, and to the east into Canada in the areas of the Taku River and Atlin, B.C. Tribal History Tlingit people and their clans were well established and thriving in Southeast Alaska when European explorers made their first advances into the area in the 1700’s.
