Copper Valley Electric Association,
Inc.; Notice of Availability of
Supplemental Environmental
Assessment
SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT FOR AMENDMENT OF
LICENSE
In accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and
the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission or FERC’s)
regulations, 18 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 380 (Order No.
486, 52 Federal Register 47897), the
Office of Energy Projects has reviewed
Copper Valley Electric Association,
Inc.’s application to amend its license
for the Allison Creek Hydroelectric
Project (FERC Project No. 13124). The
6.5-megawatt (MW) project is located on
Allison Creek near Valdez, Alaska. The
project does not occupy any federal
lands.
The licensee is proposing to amend its
powerhouse and tailrace to include a
single 6.5 MW turbine generator unit
instead of the two smaller 3.25 MW
units that were licensed. This
amendment would shift the powerhouse
location and pivot the tailrace
approximately 90 degrees to the north.
In addition to the changes to the
powerhouse and tailrace, the licensee
proposes to shift the transmission line
route south and uphill of the original
licensed route along the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline System right-of-way. In
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:30 Jun 26, 2014
addition the voltage would change from
34.5 kilovolts (kV) to 25 kV. Staff
prepared a supplemental environmental
assessment (EA) which analyzes the
potential environmental effects of the
proposed amendment, and concludes
that amending the license, with
appropriate environmental protective
measures, would not constitute a major
federal action that would significantly
affect the quality of the human
environment.

the Commission’s Web site at https://

Allison Creek Hydroelectric Project
FERC Project No. 13124—Alaska
Introduction
On August 1, 2013, the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) issued an original license
for the unconstructed Allison Creek
Hydroelectric Project No. 13124.1 On
September 27, 2013, Copper Valley
Electric Association, Inc. (licensee) filed
an application to amend its license for

the Allison Creek Hydroelectric Project
to modify the penstock design, modify
the temporary construction access
roads, and construct a penstock/access
tunnel. This amendment was approved
by the Commission on November 20,
2013 2 and was supported by an
Environmental Assessment (EA) issued
concurrently with the order.
On April 11, 2014, the licensee filed
another application to amend its
license. In its amendment application,
the licensee proposes to change the
powerhouse and tailrace to
accommodate a single 6.5 megawatt
(MW) turbine unit instead of the
licensed two 3.25 MW units. The
licensee is also requesting permission to
change the transmission line from 34.5
kilovolts (kV) to 25 kV and to relocate
the transmission line route south and
uphill of the currently licensed route.
As licensed, the project will be
constructed on Allison Creek at river
mile 1.89, about 10,000 feet upstream of
the mouth of Allison Creek and about
2,350 feet downstream of the outlet of
Allison Lake near the city of Valdez,
Alaska. The project does not occupy any
lands of the United States.
This supplemental EA is intended to
analyze the environmental impacts of
the licensee’s most recent April 14, 2014
amendment request and relies, in part,
on the EA that was issued by the
Commission on November 20, 2013.
Only the environmental impacts of the
changes to the powerhouse, tailrace, and
transmission line will be considered in
this supplemental EA.
Proposed Action
As licensed, the powerhouse would
be 65 feet by 65 feet and would contain
two 3.25 MW generator units that
discharge into a 120 feet long concrete
tailrace that exits the powerhouse to the
west. This amendment would slightly
shift the powerhouse location and
would pivot the tailrace approximately
90 degrees to the north. This would
allow for a shorter, shallower, and
steeper tailrace. The tailrace would still
return flow to Allison Creek above the
natural salmon barrier known as ‘‘The
Chutes.’’ The new powerhouse would
be 55 feet by 65 feet and would contain
a single 6.5 MW turbine generator unit.
The new tailrace would be a 70.5 feet
long concrete channel exiting the
powerhouse to the north.
The project’s transmission line, as
licensed, is a 34.5 kV line that runs for
3.8 miles along the Trans-Alaska
Pipeline System (TAPS) right-of-way,
2 Order Amending License, Approving Temporary
Penstock Access Route Plan, and Deleting Article
415 (145 FERC ¶ 62,124).
