ALASKA ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER CO. 134 N. FRANKLIN STREET t JUNEAU. ALASKA IllIeol (807) 5 .... 2222 April 4, 1985 Judith E. Bittner Department of Natural Resources State Historic Preservation Officer Pouch 7001 Anchorage, Alaska 99~10 Dear Ms. Bittner: Subject: Annex Creek/Sal.an Creek Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No. 2307 - Relicensing As requested in your letter of March 5, 1985, please find enclosed a chronological summary of important events related to the construction and rehabilitation of Annex Creek, xeroxed photographs illustrating the appearance of the Project during construction and its appearance today, and a short excerpt from the book Hard Rock Gold that provides a historical perspective on the development of the Annex Creek Project. The section on Annex Creek has been highlighted and is found on p. 47. The rest of the historical information is to give you perspective on the development of the Juneau area at the time Annex Creek and Salmon Creek Projects were constructed. We hope this material provides enough information to ascertain whether it will be necessary to conduct a Deter.ination of Eligibility on Annex Creek. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact David Stone at (907)586-2222. Very truly yours, Enclosures William A. Corbus Manager An Equal Opportunity Employer
* (lTV/BOROUGH OF JUNEAU ALASI\AS CAPITAL CITY April 12, 1985 Mr. Larry Wright Outdoor Recreation Planner ~ntional Park Service 2525 Ga~bell Street Anchorage, Alaska 99503-2892 Dear Mr. Wright: On behalf of the City and Borouqh of Juneau, I would like to request your agency strongly consider the following when reviewing the relicensing of Salmon Creek Hydroelectric project: 1. That the points addressed in James R. Hall's letter to you of February 19, 1985 be included in the permit. 2. That several points in Linda Kruger's letter to you of February 27, 1985 alao be considered. They are: A. Maintenance of the trail, stairs and railings. B. Trail head access and signage. 3. That no spur trails be developed or picnicing facilities. I am requesting this because of the City's concern over the creation of possible health hazards by contamination to the City's water source. We believe that creating spur trails and picnicing sites could increase the usage of this area thus increasing our fears. With Twin Lakes Park less than a mile away, we would suggest that it substitute for these uses that you're seeking. Pleaso consider leaving the trail as it has been until this point, wa low key recreation experience. w I am hopeful these sU9gestions will be taken seriously and that a recreation plan for the area will not be needed. I believe the community is interested in having a well maintained trail, similar to the M8ny others in the Borough, without the extras being suggested. Sincerely, ,,'--- #/'
