The Alaska Energy Authority is filing this Notice of Intent and Pre-Application Document with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for an original license for the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project, FERC no. 14241. As proposed, the Project would include construction of a dam, reservoir, and power plant on the Susitna River starting at river mile 184, approximately 34 miles upstream of Devils Canyon. Transmission lines connecting into the existing Railbelt transmission system and an access road would also be constructed. The FERC License Application is scheduled for filing on or about September 2015. This document is primarily a description of the project. A small section (Section 5) reviews issues at stake and studies to be conducted.

On December 12, 1983, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary filed a 108-page letter about the application to FERC. By November 28 eight other federal and state agencies also filed letters. In this document APA responds to the December 12, 1983 letter from U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary.

The goal of this study is to characterize habitats that will be altered and/or lost or gained from filling of the reservoir, hydropower operations, and associated changes in flow, water surface elevation, sediment regimes, and temperatures. The study area encompasses the entire Susitna River from the confluence with the Oshetna River to the area of tidal influence around River Mile 28.

In 1983 the Alaska Power Authority (APA) filed an application called "Before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission : application for license for major project, Susitna Hydroelectric Project" (APA Document numbers 123-132, 150-152, 484). On December 12, 1983, the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary filed a 108-page letter about the application to FERC. By November 28, eight other state and federal agencies also filed letters. This document represents the Alaska Power Authority's responses to the more than 250 specific comments contained in the eight agency comment letters.

Geospatial database: Compiled geologic mapping in the area of the proposed Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project, South-Central Alaska [electronic resource]

In support of the proposed Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project, the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) developed a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based geologic compilation of published and unpublished maps for twelve "inch-to-mile" (1:63,360-scale) quadrangles encompassing the proposed hydroelectric project area. DGGS geologists reviewed and analyzed existing geologic mapping for quality and completeness, and the maps were converted for use in GIS. The conversion process included scanning and georeferencing the original hard-copy map documents, creating a geodatabase, digitizing the geologic data, assigning attributes, and producing a digital data product for public release. The best available geologic mapping was synthesized into a single compilation data layer, and is packaged along with georeferenced scans and digitized vector files of the original geologic source maps. Bedrock geology was reviewed and revised by an independent contractor to ensure consistency with current geologic interpretations of the area. This geodatabase product will be a valuable reference resource for developers, planners, and scientists working on the hydroelectric project, as well as for any other projects in the area.

Moose movements and habitat use along the upper Susitna River near Devil's Canyon

2024-06-02T14:19:30Z

Taylor, Kenton P.,
Between October 1976 and January 1979 moose movements and population were studied along the Susitna River in order to access potential effects of proposed hydroelectric development. Radio collars and visual collars were placed on adults captured between the confluences of the Maclaren River and Devil Creek. Movement behavior ranged from sedimentary to migrations of over 150 kilometers.

[1979]
In order to study potential effects of proposed hydroelectric development in the Devils Canyon area of the Susitna River, baseline information on moose movements within the affected area is being collected. The Alaska Power Authority sponsored this study, which continues a study reported by the same authors in 1978. Radio collars and visual collars were placed on adults captured between the confluences of the Maclaren River and Devil Creek during the October 1976 and March 1977 period. Movement behavior indicates that moose from many portions of the Susitna River drainage use habitats within or adjacent to the impoundment areas.

Based on environmental and economic considerations, the Browne Hydroelectric Project was among several hydroelectric projects identified as preferable alternatives to the upper Susitna River dam project in Alaska. This report was commissioned because the Browne Hydroelectric Project is somewhat greater in estimated energy production than most other sites and because of its modest environmental impact. It would consist of a dam, reservior, and power plant on the Nenana River 65 miles southwest of Fairbanks.

Chakachamna Hydroelectric Project, interim feasibility assessment report

2024-06-02T14:19:30Z

[1983]
[March 1983 ed.].
This report describes plans for hydroelectric power generation by diverting water from Lake Chakachamna through a tunnel. One method is to divert water easterly along its outflow, Chakachatna River to a powerhouse. An alternative is to dam the lake to provide hydrostatic head and storage volume to regulate the flow to meet electric demands. Another alternative is to build the dam and divert water through a tunnel southeasterly to a powerhouse at the McArthur River. This report is based upon previously published information regarding the project, and on data acquired and derived during a study period extending from the fall of 1981 to December 1982. Its objectives are to summarize the information derived from the studies, to provide a preliminary evaluation of alternative ways of developing the power potential of the project, to define that power potential, and to report on the estimated cost of construction, and to provide a preliminary assessment of the effects that the project would have on the environment.
