The Commission’s Rules of Practice
require all intervenors filing documents
with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. This application has been accepted
for filing and is now ready for
environmental analysis.
l. The proposed run-of-river project
would consist of an intake, penstock,
powerhouse, tailrace and constructed
channel, access road and trail, and
transmission line. Power from this
project would be used by the residents
of the city of Old Harbor.
Intake
The intake would consist of a
concrete, or other suitable material,
diversion/cut off weir with integral
spillway that would divert water from
the East Fork of Mountain Creek. The
weir would range in height from
approximately 4 feet at the spillway to
6 feet elsewhere and would span
approximately 100 feet across the creek
floodplain. A below grade transition
with an above-ground air relief inlet
pipe would convey water to a buried
high-density polyethylene pipe and
steel pipe penstock. Once constructed,
the intake would fill to the level of the
spillway and flow over the spillway
when the water is higher.
Penstock
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
A 10,100-foot-long penstock
consisting of an 18-inch-diameter
polyethylene pipe, a 20-inch-diameter
polyethylene pipe, and a 16-inchdiameter steel pipe would be installed.
A total of 7,400 feet of polyethylene
would be installed from the intake and
2,750 feet of steel pipe would be
installed near the powerhouse. The
entire pipe would be buried one to five
feet underground.
Powerhouse
The powerhouse would consist of an
approximately 30-foot by 35-foot by 16foot high metal building or similar
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:43 Jun 16, 2014
Jkt 232001
structure. The building would house
two 262-kW Pelton turbines, a 480-volt,
three-phase synchronous generator, and
switchgear for each turbine.
Tailrace
The tailrace would be constructed
with approximately 85 feet of steel,
plastic, or concrete culvert. A man-made
stream channel with a length of
approximately 2,300 feet including
approximately 500 feet would convey
the project flows approximately 0.1 mile
from the powerhouse to the nearby
pond, known as Swimming Pond. The
tailrace water would then travel 500 feet
within Swimming Pond. The tailrace
would continue on from Swimming
Pond approximately 0.2 miles within an
enhanced channel of Lagoon Creek
Tributary. This enhanced channel
would be constructed in place of the
existing ephemeral section of Lagoon
Creek Tributary. This section is
approximately 1,100 feet and ends in a
groundwater upwelling where Lagoon
Creek Tributary becomes a distinct
natural channel. Lagoon Creek Tributary
flows into Lagoon Creek which then
empties into a large, tidally influenced
lagoon called Salt Lagoon. Salt Lagoon
occupies about 82 acres and drains
through a culvert into the Sitkalidak
Strait.
Access Road and Trail
An approximately 2.2-mile-long by
10-foot-wide project access trail would
be constructed between the intake and
the powerhouse and an approximately
5,720-foot-long by 24-foot-wide
powerhouse access road would extend
from powerhouse to the existing
community drinking water tank access
road. To prevent increased traffic in the
Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, the
intake access trail would be closed to
non-project vehicular traffic. The
powerhouse access road, however,
would be open to public vehicles and
public foot access.
Transmission Line
A 1.2-mile-long, 12.47-kV, threephase overhead power line would be
installed from the powerhouse to the
existing power distribution system in
Old Harbor.

available for review at the Commission

n. Anyone may submit comments, a
protest, or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of
Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR
385.210, .211, and .214. In determining
the appropriate action to take, the

k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
l. The proposed run-of-river project would consist of an intake,
penstock, powerhouse, tailrace and constructed channel, access road and
trail, and transmission line. Power from this project would be used by
the residents of the city of Old Harbor.
Intake
The intake would consist of a concrete, or other suitable material,
diversion/cut off weir with integral spillway that would divert water
from the East Fork of Mountain Creek. The weir would range in height
from approximately 4 feet at the spillway to 6 feet elsewhere and would
span approximately 100 feet across the creek floodplain. A below grade
transition with an above-ground air relief inlet pipe would convey
water to a buried high-density polyethylene pipe and steel pipe
penstock. Once constructed, the intake would fill to the level of the
spillway and flow over the spillway when the water is higher.
Penstock
A 10,100-foot-long penstock consisting of an 18-inch-diameter
polyethylene pipe, a 20-inch-diameter polyethylene pipe, and a 16-inch-
diameter steel pipe would be installed. A total of 7,400 feet of
polyethylene would be installed from the intake and 2,750 feet of steel
pipe would be installed near the powerhouse. The entire pipe would be
buried one to five feet underground.
Powerhouse
The powerhouse would consist of an approximately 30-foot by 35-foot
by 16-foot high metal building or similar structure. The building would
house two 262-kW Pelton turbines, a 480-volt, three-phase synchronous
generator, and switchgear for each turbine.
Tailrace
The tailrace would be constructed with approximately 85 feet of
steel, plastic, or concrete culvert. A man-made stream channel with a
length of approximately 2,300 feet including approximately 500 feet
would convey the project flows approximately 0.1 mile from the
powerhouse to the nearby pond, known as Swimming Pond. The tailrace
water would then travel 500 feet within Swimming Pond. The tailrace
would continue on from Swimming Pond approximately 0.2 miles within an
enhanced channel of Lagoon Creek Tributary. This enhanced channel would
be constructed in place of the existing ephemeral section of Lagoon
Creek Tributary. This section is approximately 1,100 feet and ends in a
groundwater upwelling where Lagoon Creek Tributary becomes a distinct
natural channel. Lagoon Creek Tributary flows into Lagoon Creek which
then empties into a large, tidally influenced lagoon called Salt
Lagoon. Salt Lagoon occupies about 82 acres and drains through a
culvert into the Sitkalidak Strait.
Access Road and Trail
An approximately 2.2-mile-long by 10-foot-wide project access trail
would be constructed between the intake and the powerhouse and an
approximately 5,720-foot-long by 24-foot-wide powerhouse access road
would extend from powerhouse to the existing community drinking water
tank access road. To prevent increased traffic in the Kodiak National
Wildlife Refuge, the intake access trail would be closed to non-project
vehicular traffic. The powerhouse access road, however, would be open
to public vehicles and public foot access.
Transmission Line
A 1.2-mile-long, 12.47-kV, three-phase overhead power line would be
installed from the powerhouse to the existing power distribution system
in Old Harbor.
