Grand Rapids Hydroelectric Project (FERC No Via Electronic Filing December 13, 2018 Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20426 Subject: Grand Rapids Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2362) Prairie River Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2361) Notice of Intent and Pre-Application Document Dear Secretary Bose: Minnesota Power (MP or Applicant), a subsidiary of ALLETE, Inc., is submitting to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) a Notice of Intent (NOI) to file an application for a new license for the Grand Rapids Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2362) and a NOI to file an application for a subsequent license for the Prairie River Hydroelectric Project (FERC No. 2361). Although these are separate processes, due to the proximity of the Projects to each other, MP plans to conduct them concurrently and use a combined Pre-Application Document (PAD). The combined PAD, also contained in this submittal, has two volumes with the second containing sections of the PAD being filed as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII). The existing FERC licenses for both Projects expire on December 31, 2023. Stakeholders on the attached distribution list may obtain a copy of the NOIs and PAD electronically through FERC’s eLibrary at https://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/search/fercgensearch.asp under docket numbers P-2362 and P-2361 or on MP’s website www.mnpower.com/Environment/Hydro. Distribution of this letter is being done via email if an email address is available, otherwise via U.S. mail. If any stakeholder would like a CD copy of the NOIs and PAD, please contact me. Two paper copies are being sent to Commission Staff in the Office of Energy Projects and Office of General Counsel – Energy Projects as well as a paper copy to the State Historic Preservation Office. In accordance with 18 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §5.5(e) of the Commission’s regulations, the Applicant requests that the Commission designate MP as the Commission’s non-federal representative for purposes of consultation under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), 16 U.S.C. §470f and the NHPA implementing regulations at 36 CFR Part 800. In addition, the Applicant requests that FERC designate MP as the non-federal representative for the Project for the purpose of consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service, pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the joint agency ESA implementing regulations at 50 CFR Part 402. Our relicensing team looks forward to working with the Commission’s staff, resource agencies, Indian Tribes, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and members of the public, in developing license applications for these renewable energy facilities.

  • Minnesota History: Building a Legacy
    January 2019 Minnesota History: Building A Legacy Report to the Governor and the Legislature on Funding for History Programs and Projects Supported by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund Letter from MNHS CEO and Director In July 2018, I was thrilled to take on the role of the Minnesota Historical Society’s executive director and CEO. As a newcomer to the state, over the last six months, I’ve quickly noticed how strongly Minnesotans value their communities and how proud they are to be from Minnesota. The passage of the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment in 2008 clearly demonstrates this. I’m inspired by the fact that 10 years ago, Minnesotans voted to commit tax dollars to bettering their state for the future, including preserving our historical and cultural heritage. I’m proud that over 10 years, MNHS has been able to oversee a surge of communities engaging with their local history in new ways, thanks to the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF). As of December 2018, Minnesotans have invested $51 million in history through nearly 2,500 historical and cultural heritage grants in all 87 counties. These grants allow organizations to preserve and share stories about what makes their communities so unique through projects like oral histories, digitization, and new research. Without this funding, this important history can quickly be lost to time. A great example is the Hotel Sacred Heart—explored in our featured stories section —a 1914 hotel on the National Register of Historic Places that’s sat unused since the 1990s.

  • The Future of Forestry in Minnesota's Economy
    RMJ Rural Minnesota Journal The Agriculture and Forestry Issue: Looking to the Future 2009 CENTER for RURAL POLICY and DEVELOPMENT Seeking solutions for Greater Minnesota's future The Future of Forestry in Minnesota’s Economy Jim L. Bowyer Predictions of the future often first require consideration of the past and an accounting of the present. What is the situation today, how did we get here, and what are the current and emerging trends that are likely to shape tomorrow? The future of Minnesota’s forest sector will undoubtedly be informed by its turbulent past and the no-less tumultuous present. Minnesota’s forests before forestry About a half-century before professional forestry was introduced to North America, Minnesota’s forests were heavily impacted by a combination of agricultural clearing and indiscriminate logging. Forest loss was substantial, with the heaviest losses in southern Minnesota, where hardwood forests gave way to homesteads, pastures, and tilled soil. In the northern part of the state, the greatest impact on forests was due to logging. Minnesota’s first sawmill opened in 1830 in Marine on St. Croix, followed by another in Stillwater in 1840. Then activity shifted to Minneapolis, where water power could be harnessed to run the mills. By 1880, and for three decades thereafter, the state was one of the nation’s leading lumber producers. In 1900, the peak year for Minnesota lumber production, some 2.3 billion board feet of lumber (equivalent to about 4.6 million cords of wood) were sawn by an industry that employed over 15,000 people in the mills and another 23,000 felling and transporting timber.
