(lTV/BOROUGH OF JUNEAU<br />

ALASI\AS CAPITAL CITY<br />

April 12, 1985<br />

Mr. Larry Wright<br />

Outdoor Recreation Planner<br />

~ntional Park Service<br />

2525 Ga~bell Street<br />

Anchorage, Alaska 99503-2892<br />

Dear Mr. Wright:<br />

On behalf of <strong>the</strong> City and Borouqh of Juneau, I would like to request<br />

your agency strongly consider <strong>the</strong> following when reviewing <strong>the</strong><br />

relicensing of Salmon <strong>Creek</strong> Hydroelectric project:<br />

1. That <strong>the</strong> points addressed in James R. Hall's letter to<br />

you of February 19, 1985 be included in <strong>the</strong> permit.<br />

2. That several points in Linda Kruger's letter to you of<br />

February 27, 1985 alao be considered. They are:<br />

A. Maintenance of <strong>the</strong> trail, stairs and railings.<br />

B. Trail head access and signage.<br />

3. That no spur trails be developed or picnicing<br />

facilities. I am requesting this because of <strong>the</strong> City's<br />

concern over <strong>the</strong> creation of possible health hazards by<br />

contamination to <strong>the</strong> City's water source. We believe<br />

that creating spur trails and picnicing sites could<br />

increase <strong>the</strong> usage of this area thus increasing our<br />

fears. With Twin Lakes Park less than a mile away, we<br />

would suggest that it substitute <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>se uses that<br />

you're seeking. Pleaso consider leaving <strong>the</strong> trail as<br />

it has been until this point, wa low key recreation<br />

experience. w<br />

I am hopeful <strong>the</strong>se sU9gestions will be taken seriously and that a<br />

recreation plan <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> area will not be needed. I believe <strong>the</strong><br />

community is interested in having a well maintained trail, similar<br />

to <strong>the</strong> M8ny o<strong>the</strong>rs in <strong>the</strong> Borough, without <strong>the</strong> extras being<br />

suggested.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

,,'---<br />
