Box 222Port Townsend, Washington 98368RE: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project, FERC .11508 Dear Mr. Martin:We have reviewed the Wolf Lake Field Study Results from the 1996summer season. Our concerns regarding this project are directedtoward the protection of anadromou5 fish resources, and we arepleased that surveys have been completed to determine theoccurrence of spawning salmon.We would like to see further study efforts made to map thedistribution of spawning fish and their redds. We also requestthat an instream flows methodology study or similarly accuratestudy be completed for the stream. Such a study should provide amodel which relates discharge rates to water depths on criticalreaches within the stream. Minimum discharge rates must bedetermined to assure that the identified spawning substratesremain inundated during sensitive life stage periods.Due to freezing temperatures, late winter and early spring runoffto streams can be very low. Natural flows within anadroMous fishstreams may be insufficlent to inundate spawning areas resultingin high mortalities of salmon eggs and larva. Flow regimes onhydroelectric diversions can be regulated to assure inundation ofspawning substrates during naturally occurring low-flow periods.We appreciate the opportunity to co~ent on this project. Wewill continue to assess this project with regard to its proposeddesign and its relationship to other uses of the drainage. Wemay provide additional comments in the future.Sincerely,~T~~:::::' k~.Chief, Protected ResourcesManagement Division

Box 21668 Juneau, AK. 99802-1668 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No.1 1508-000 Dear Mr. Grossman:I would like to follow up our telephone conversation that we had on May 21,'997. The following is a summary of our telephone conversation:II ~...... Called Andy Grossman, NMFS, 907-586-7358, to ask him about hisletter dated May 20, 1997 that states, "We would like to see further studyefforts made to map the distribution of spawning fish and their redds. n Theletter then goes on to request an instream flow methodology study. I askedAndy why we would need to conduct the mapping of the spawningdistribution when the anadromous reach is no longer than 100-150 feet inlength and though the salmon use it, it is not extensively used. Andy saidthat the map does make it look rather small. I explained that what I thoughtwas the key issue is where our tailrace discharges into the creek. I told himthat the boat works presently (as far as I know) has their diversion andintake at the 80 foot elevation, about 500 feet back from the marineshoreline. That I did not think that they discharged any of their water intothe creek. We are planning to discharge above the intake of the boat worksso that they will have water and if they are not presently discharging into theanadromous reach then our discharge should be adequate. Andy said thatthat sounded good, he mentioned that the FERC may have something to sayabout the boat works not discharging into the creek. I told him that we havenot said anything to FERC about it. Andy said there main concern would bethe relationship with instream flows and the seasonallity of the streamregime. He was satisfied with our argument that the flows into theanadromous reach during critical spawning and redds time would be met byour discharge and a mapping of the creeks spawning habitat would not benecessary.

We do offer the followinginformation for your review, showing our calculations for the differentdrainage contributions to Wolf Creek.Enclosed is a worksheet and a drawing of the Wolf Lake drainage basin(s).We attempted to determine the area of the total basin (as measured at theCreek mouth). The USGS determined the drainage area associated with theirgage as 1.54 sq. mi. We then identified smaller drainage's below the Lakedrainage. We then named them and calculated their respective areas insquare miles (Lake 1.54, North .027, West .21, East .0219, South.77).These areas total 2.5689 sq. mi.We then used actual measurements taken by on of our staff at the Creekmouth and correlated these with hourly flows from the USGS gage. In everycase, except one, the flows measured at the Creek mouth were higher. Ithen took this difference and allocated to the North, West, East, & Southdrainage based upon their respective drainage areas. For estimatingpurposes I converted these flows to estimated percentages of flowcontribution by sub-basin. The results of these calculations are shown onthe work sheet and below. The estimated flow contribution by sub-basin is:Lake 53.32%North 1.22%East 1.00%West 9.53%South 34.93%

Andy Grossman, NMFS " Lake H)'droelec:tm Project June 20, 1997Project No. II S08-OOO·AK These percent contributions are estimates based upon spot measurementsand such variable factors including lake level, weather, and exact timing willcause actual contributions to differ. The percentages listed reflect an overallestimate of contribution without any attempt to correct for variable factorsaffecting instantaneous flows.Ed Neil, of the USGS, has had the opportunity to review these calculationsand did not find any problems with them.Sincerely,~~7y~Glen D.

AP&T LUNCH MEETING WITH ADF&G KLAWOCK, POW MAY 9, 1997 MEETING SUMMARYThose present for the meeting:AP&'TBob GrimmGreg MickelsonRandy OtosDale BonarGlen MartinADF&GJim DurstBob ChadwickSeveral projects were discussed during the lunch meeting, Black Bear LakeHydro Project (BBl Hydro), South Fork Hydro Project (SF Hydro), and WolfLake Hydro Project (Wl Hydro). Jim D. provided AP&T with a letter aboutthe BBl Hydro project which comments on the trout population within thelake and requested a meeting with AP& T on this issue. We offered to stockthe lake if necessary, as often as they felt was necessary and just requestedguidance from them. We suggested that they get back to us soon regardingplacing minnow traps to determine if there are anyone year old fish in thelake. The best time we said would be right after ice break-up. Jim D. agreedthat would be the best time. Otherwise, we told him, we would have towait another year to complete this study. Also, perhaps the last study of thefive year study should be conducted in a different way than the last fouryears. If ADF&G is not getting the information they need, perhaps the studyshould be conducted differently and what better time than now to determinewhat is going on in the lake. Bob G. and Jim D. agreed that a meetingannually would be beneficial. Bob C. apologized to Dale B. regarding thememo that Glenn Freeman sent to Jim D. Bob C. explained that they shouldhave shared the information that they had gone to Wolf lake and Black Bearlake to survey the trout populations and the data collected. Dale B.expressed his frustration with their (ADF&G) lack of communication. Bob C.explained that he was not as smart about protocol as he is now and that thissort of situation will not occur again and that some of the comments in thememo were not either fair or accurate and should not have been used. Heacknowledged that the bad experience ADF&G had with the Summit lakeProject had been partly responsible with their handling of the Wolf lake andBlack Bear Projects last summer. Bob C. is now in charge of the project,which he wasn't last year. Bob C. indicated his current budget includesfunds for ADF&G to examine Wolf lake and Black Bear Lake again this year.He expressed his interest in working cooperatively with AP& T on studies inp. 1

'"\["&T LUNCH MEETING WITH ADF&G, MAY 9,1997 MEETING SUMMARY this and future years, and offered the use of their hoop traps and fyke netsthat are sized so that the beaver will carry them easily. He has a video hecan supply that shows them in action. Jim D. indicated he will be in Juneauto meet with various supervisors the week of May 12-16 and will try to getspecific guidance on the Wolf lake Project. He suggested a face-to-facemeeting in the near future would be a good next step to clarify ADF&G'spolicy on Wolf lake and to determine the best study plan for future studies.Bob G. brought up the letter AP& T received from NMFS regarding the BBlHydro project and that it referred to repeated breaking of siphon and the dewateringof the creek. Bob G. asked Jim D. where that kind of statementmight have come from. Jim D. seemed to indicate that he was not sure.Glen M. questioned Jim D. about WL Hydro and when AP& T could expectcomments on the field study results. Jim D. said the memo Glenn Freemansent to him was their comments and said he thought we were going to setup a meeting. Meeting got side-tracked here and issue was not resolved.Glen M. asked Jim D. after the meeting what the next step should be withWl Hydro, and Jim D. said he would talk with the higher level people themiddle of next week and see what he could do. Glen M. made Jim D. awarethat any more studies need to be initiated soon.p.2

Box 271 Klawock, AK. 99925 Re: Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project FERC Project No. 11508 Field Study ResultsDear Mr. Durst:Thank you for your telephone call today. The following is in response toyour suggestion that I list what ADF&G should be addressing right nowregarding the Wolf Lake Hydro Project.I must admit that I am frustrated with the lack of response that the ADF&Ghas provided to date for the field studies we sent to you back in November,1996.I don't feel the ADF&G internal memo we received (from Glenn Freeman toyou) , which we had to request in order to get some feedback, adequatelyaddressed our project. We did respond to that memo, in writing, but havenot heard back from the ADF&G.Being that the internal memo was the only written communication wereceived from the ADF&G regarding Wolf Lake, it has been hard to determinewhat the next step is. I had hoped to have some concrete feedback thatindicated whether specific studies were needed or previous studies continuedand that we could discuss possible mitigation's regarding the potential lossof trout in the lake.Although we do not know what effect the lake draw-down will have on thetrout, I think we should look at the possibility of the fish not being able tospawn. If we can find some mitigation for this issue, perhaps no furthertrout studies would be necessary. But this is the sort of thing we need to betalking about. It has been very frustrating, as I have mentioned, to not have

Jim Durst, ADF&G w~ ,ake Hydroelectric Project June 10, 1991Project No. II S08-000-AK a more proactive response from ADF&G. If further studies are going to berequested we may have lost some valuable time (Le. spring-summer) alreadythis year.If we cannot get a response within the next 30 days, we will assume that,after more than 6 months, the ADF&G does not find any significant concernswith the results of the field studies. I will assume that the ADF&G agreeswith our findings, does not see the need for further evaluation, and finds thatno significant impacts will occur from our project as designed.This process has completely stopped as we have repeatedly sentcommunications (Le. telephone conversations, written inquires, e-mail's) tothe ADF&G requesting the necessary and constructive feedback to move thisproject forward. The 6-7 months that have transpired since the field studyresults submittal without a response has altered our perception of theADF&G as an organization, though I think we are mostly perplexed by thislack of response.The time is passing by in which we are closer to filing for our federal license(March, 1998) without ADF&G's input at this critical juncture. I await yourreply.Sincerely,~~.ry~Glen D. Martin Project Manager Page 2

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe applicant is considering developing Wolf Lake as a storage project. TheWolf Lake Hydro Project will intertie with an existing hydro project of theApplicants, the Black Bear Lake Hydro Project, which will reach peak loaddemand in 3-5 years.LOCATIONWolf Lake is located in Southeast Alaska, on the east side of Prince of WalesIsland (POW)' near Kasaan Bay, along Twelve Mile Arm (See Figure 1). WolfLake is about 4 miles north of the association of Hollis, about 20 milesnortheast of the City of Hydaburg, about 26 miles east of the City ofKlawock, and 32 miles northeast of the City of Craig. The Wolf Lake Projectis located within the Tongass National Forest, U.S. Forest Service (USFS)(CRM, T 73S, R 84E, Sec. 14, 15, 22, 23, 24, 25, 34) and AlaskaDepartment of Natural Resources land (ADNR) (CRM, T 73S, R 84E, Sec. 25,26, 35).The total amount of Federal land enclosed within the proposed projectboundary is about 172 acres. The approximate total acreage of State ofAlaska land is 12.25 acres. The project area is unsurveyed and therefore isdescribed by sections (based upon a 50-foot corridor from centerline of thediversion structure, penstock, powerhouse, transmission line, and mean highwater of Wolf Lake)., The T ongass National Forest of the USFS has designated the lands aroundand within the project boundary as LUD III. LUD III indicates, "These landswill be managed for a variety of uses. The emphasis is on managing for usesand activities in a compatible and complementary manner to provide thegreatest combination of benefits.,,1The Project will utilize the natural flows into Wolf Lake. The natural surfaceelevation of the lake is about 1149 feet. Wolf Lake has a surface area ofapproximately 100.8 acres (See Figure 2). The elevations of the drainagebasin around the lake vary from 1149 feet to 2744 feet. Wolf Lake hassteep slopes around the west half of the lake with a more gradual slope onthe east side, at the outlet.The outlet stream is called Wolf Creek. At Wolf Creek's mouth the first 150linear feet is a anadromous stream. Numerous anadromous barriers existfrom this point up to the lake (See Figure 3). The stream cascades throughI Tongass National Forest Land Management Plan-Map, USFS, March, 1991.p.l

A valve vaultwould be placed below the siphon which will consist of a bypass valve tomaintain instream flows during critical fish spawning and rearing periods.The penstock would be both on the surface and buried where appropriateand a 2-2.5 MW power plant will be located at about 100-feet in elevation,as shown in Figure 7. The transmission facilities will extend from the powerplant to the present AP&T system in Hollis. A more detailed descriptionfollows for each project feature forming the basis for environmental andengineering studies for the project. Diagrams of erosion control methodsattached at end of report.Diversion StructureThe diversion would be located on the crest or lip of Wolf Lake, with theintake extended out into the lake to the approximate depth of 30 feet. InFigures 7a & 7b the plan and profile views of the headworks of the projectare shown. The proposed small diversion structure would be made ofconcrete or wood cribbing, mortared rock, or other suitable material. Atypical example of a diversion structure is shown in Figure 8. The diversionstructure would be about 40 feet long and have a structural height of about6 feet. The diversion would be designed and would incorporate a spillway ofsufficient size to accommodate the probable maximum flood present in thedrainage basin. The spillway will be placed at the average spring lakeelevation. The diversion structure will not raise the level of the lake abovecurrent spring flows.The diversion structure would be constructed on bedrock, with someexcavation of the bedrock possible, to maximize its structural integrity. Theestimated excavated material may be 13 cu. yds. Methods to minimizeerosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or haybales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 8.IntakeThe intake would be placed in the lake at a depth dependent on thecapabilities of the siphon, but will probably be placed at approximately the30 foot depth to potentially draw the lake down, during peak use, by 20feet. The intake would consist of a screening devise to draw the water outof the lake. A 24-inch or smaller penstock would be utilized from the intaketo the valve vault and a 20-inch penstock to the powerhouse. The intakemay extend about 400 feet into the lake. The pipe would be buried in a 3foot wide trench, 6 feet deep for about 200 feet (the rest of the penstockwill rest on the lake bottom), as shown in Figures 7a & 7b. The estimatedexcavated and fill material would be approximately 133 cu. yds. Afterp.3

Pro.Jescription for the 404 Certification Applica>Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-I 1508excavation the pipe will be buried with the material excavated from the lakebed. The lake bed is expected to be primarily bedrock.SiphonThe siphon would be placed at the crest or lip of the lake and would be usedto fill the upper portion of the penstock, from the intake to the valve vault.At the siphon crown a 8 x 20 foot building will house a vacuum pump andcontrols for establishing, maintaining and breaking the siphon. The vacuumpump will only operate when initially filling the siphon and if air accumulatesin the siphon crown during operation. The vacuum break valve provides ameans of draining the siphon and also can be used to shut off the water flowin the penstock.The building and equipment will be powered and controlled from thepowerhouse. The power and control conductors would be enclosed in steelconduits attached to the above ground penstock or buried next to any buriedpenstock. These same conduits will provide power and controls to the valvevault.The siphon house would be constructed near the diversion structure onbedrock. Estimates for the amount of excavated material for the siphonhouse is 18 cu. yds. For the penstock, between the siphon house and valvevault, the estimated excavated material is 100 cu. yds. The penstock willtraverse part of the slope above ground, along Wolf Creek, until the ridgebeyond the bend in the creek is met, at this juncture the penstock will beburied until beyond the ridge. The above figure of 100 cu. yds. for thepenstock is assuming the entire penstock must be buried from the siphonhouse until beyond the aforementioned ridge. Methods to minimize erosionand sedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jutenetting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 9.Valve VaultThe concrete valve vault would be below the siphon house, near the middlepond. The insulated valve vault will be approximately 10 feet wide by 12feet long. The automated valves will be provided with normal and backuppower from the powerhouse. The purpose of the valve vault is to allow thecontrolled operation of the intake and for gradual filling of the lowerpenstock. The valve vault will also have a bypass valve to provide instreamflows when necessary for fish spawning and rearing habitat in the ponds.The valve vault will contain a 20-inch, or smaller, diameter butterfly valve.p.4

PnDescription for the 404 Certification Applic,Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-I 1508The valve vault would be constructed on bedrock, with excavation of somesoils and vegetation possible. The estimated excavated material may be 13cu. yds. Soils are thin here, so the estimated excavated materials may beless. Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during constructioncould include straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown inFigure 10.PenstockThe penstock will convey water from the intake to the powerhouse. Thepenstock will be above ground, supported on saddles or buried wherepossible. The penstock will be approximately 20-inches or smaller indiameter and approximately 8000 feet long. Figure 11 shows theapproximate penstock route and the type of terrain and vegetation thepenstock will typically pass through. Some areas are more heavily forestedthan in these photographs. The penstock will either be made of steel orHDPE.11;11'The penstock construction may displace up to 400 cu. yds. of material toeither place penstock saddles or to bury the penstock in certain locations.The whole penstock corridor is not a wetland however, so the exact amountof excavated material in wetlands may be approximately 150 cu. yds.Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction couldinclude straw or hay bales, jute netting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure12. To minimize the effects of placing the penstock through vegetation andcreating erosion and sedimentation problems, brush along the penstockcorridor may be cut back rather than uprooted between the penstocksaddles. Up at the wetlands, directly below the lake, the penstock will beplaced on saddles to minimize excavation of the muskeg and ponds with asaddle placement from between 30-60 feet apart. The penstock can bepulled into place to also minimize impacts.PowerhouseThe powerhouse will be a prefabricated metal building, approximately 30 feetby 40 feet by 20 feet high, located on a reinforced concrete foundation. Thepowerhouse will be located at approximately EI. 100, as shown in Figures 13& 14. The powerhouse will contain one impulse type horizontal shaftturbine. The unit will be rated about 2.5 megawatts at about 1100 feet ofnet head.The powerhouse would be constructed on bedrock, with some excavation ofthe bedrock possible, to maximize its structural integrity. The powerhouse isnot in a wetlands and should not of itself have any impacts to wetlands.Methods to minimize erosion and sedimentation during construction couldp. 5

The tailrace will discharge waterabove the intake of the existing boat works hydro plant.The tailrace construction will require excavation of the bedrock and soils.However, only about 75 cu. yds. of excavated or fill material will be placedin or near a wetland (Wolf Creek). Methods to minimize erosion andsedimentation during construction could include straw or hay bales, jutenetting, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 15.TransmissionA step-up transformer will be next to the powerhouse. The transformer willbe supported on a concrete foundation. The 3,000 kVA transformer willstep up the voltage from the generator's 4,160 volts to 12.5 kV, fortransmission to Hollis to connect with the existing transmission line. The12.5 kV transmission line will go overhead using a corridor surveyed forwildlife habitat during the summer of 1996. The transmission line corridorhas a mean elevation of approximately 300± 50 feet as shown in Figure 16.The corridor will be approximately 50 feet wide and approximately 2.3 mileslong. It is estimated that approximately 42 poles will be required along thetransmission corridor.The transmission line will require clearing of a right-of-way corridor. Somedisruption of soils will occur in the process of creating an access road alongthe transmission line route and in placing the poles. Although, some polesmay be anchored into bedrock, the estimated excavated material may be 70cu. yds for the transmission line poles. Not all of the transmission line poleswill be placed in wetlands, particularly as they will be spaced up to 300 feetapart. However, clearing of trees along the line will be necessary and a catroad constructed along the transmission line corridor. Methods to minimizeerosion and sedimentation during construction could include straw or haybales, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 17.p.6

PreDescription for the 404 Certification ApplicfWolfLake Hydroelectric Project-l 1508AccessThere is no existing road to the mouth of Wolf Creek and the existing boatworks. Though much of the project could be constructed using boats,barges and helicopters a road will be necessary to service and maintain thetransmission line and would provide easier year round access to thisproposed hydro project.To access the penstock route, valve vault, and diversion structure site a catroad, or a temporary tram or series of trams may be used to move equipmentand materials up the slope during construction. Other access to the lake maybe by float plane. Helicopters may also be used to transport constructionpersonnel and material to the lake and slope areas. A primitive path may alsobe established along the penstock route for future inspection andmaintenance of the penstock and upper works.The access road will require clearing of a right-of-way corridor. Somedisruption of soils will occur in the process of creating an access road alongthe transmission line route. Several significant streams must be crossed withsmall bridges (possibly made from trees cleared for the road). The estimatedwidth of the road will be approximately 1 5 feet, as far as grounddisturbance. Trees will need to be cleared to within approximately 50 feet ofcenterline of the transmission line with the lower vegetation remaining tokeep the soils stabilized. Not all of the estimated excavated material will bein wetlands. It is estimated that 2,000-3,000 cu. yds. of material could beexcavated in wetlands in the construction of this access road. Methods tominimize erosion and sedimentation during construction could include strawor hay bales, and silt fencing, as shown in Figure 17.MODE OF OPERATIONWolf lake would be used for storage to supplement other power sources(Black Bear lake Hydroelectric Project (BBl) and AP&T's Craig dieselgenerators) to equalize the power generation throughout the year. It isexpected that BBl Hydro will, within the near future, reach full capacity andthe Wolf lake Hydroelectric Project will be able to continue to provide nonpollutingenergy to fill the energy needs of the communities of Prince ofWales Island.p. 7

PnDescription for the 404 Certification ApplicaWolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-11508ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGGENERALPrince of Wales Island is rugged and mountainous and has low to moderaterelief with elevations generally of 3,000 feet or less, but some are as high asnearly 4,000 feet. The mountains are dissected by deep, steep-sided, glacialvalleys, and fjords. The island has an abundance of lakes. Most of thestreams are small and short, with steep, irregular profile characteristics of theearly stage of stream development.The climate of the Project is maritime, typified by cool summers, relativelymild winters, long periods of almost continuous cloudy or foggy conditions,and year-round precipitation. Temperature extremes occur in both winter andsummer. At Hollis, approximately 3 miles south of the proposed Project, themean annual temperature is 44.2 F. The average temperature at Hollis inJanuary (the coldest month) is 32.4 F and the average temperature in August(the warmest month) is 58.1 F. The mean annual precipitation at theproposed Project is about 110 inches, induced by the area's high elevationand steep mountain topography. Much of the precipitation at the Wolf LakeProject area during the colder winter months occurs as snow. Wolf Lake isoften frozen until late spring.Wolf Lake is a moderately high, perched, cirque lake that drains about 1.51square miles of steeply sloped forested land. The forest around Wolf Lakeconsist of stands of old-growth hemlock, hemlock-spruce, and muskegforest. The ridges and peaks around the lake are either alpine meadows orbare rock.Inflow into Wolf Lake consists primarily of intermittent streams that draindeep snowfields located in the alpine areas around the west half of the lake.Wolf Lake occupies a bedrock basin in a U-shaped hanging valley at anelevation of 1,149 feet. The elevations of the surrounding peaks and ridgesare generally between 2,000 and 2,700 feet. Wolf Lake naturally dischargesthrough a notch cut in the bedrock rim at the lower end of the lake, formingWolf Creek.Wolf Creek is a high gradient, contained channel within a narrow valleybottom. According to the Revised Tongass Land Management Plan,"Channel banks are steep and generally composed of large material, eitherconsolidated bedrock or well-packed boulders and cobbles. The riparianvegetation when present along these streams are narrow strips « 20 feet) ofalder, salmonberry, devil's club, or currant/brush communities. The upperp.8

PnDescription for the 404 Certification Applic,Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project-II 508steep banks of these incised streams have mosaic plant communities ofdense conifers and shrubs. The channels are predominantly influenced bythe upland or terrestrial plant communities. Soils in the adjacent upland areaare often shallow and subject to downslope movement. Leaves, forest litter,and trees often move downslope into these incised channels whendisturbance occurs. "2BOTANICAL RESOURCESThere are two Category 2 plant species that potentially occur in SoutheastAlaska. They are Thurber's reed grass (Calamagrostis crassiglumis), andCarex lenticularis var. dolia. Information concerning these plant species islimited (USF&WS 1995).Sensitive Plants SurveyNo sensitive plants were observed in the project area. In Figures 18 & 19one of the wetlands along the transmission line route is shown. The bogorchid Platanthera orbiculata, as shown in Figure 20, seen at two sites alongthe proposed transmission line route, is not on the Tongass National ForestSensitive Plant List, however it is presently on the Nature Conservancy RarePlant List and will possibly by added to the list used by the Alaska ForestService in the near future. In Figure 20, the orchid is found at the 300-footelevation in stands of western hemlock, red cedar, and blueberries. Theslope here is approximately 15%. The canopy cover is approximately 95%.WATER QUALITYThe water quality is good, probably because of the remote location of thelake. The proposed project is not expected to adversely affect water quality.There may be temporary turbidity in the creek resulting from the constructionof the diversion structure and possibly from the construction of thepowerhouse and tailrace. The possible increase in turbidity would beaddressed by employing measures to avoid or reduce sediment productionand dispersal. These measures will be detailed in the erosion andsedimentation control plan to be included with the forthcoming DraftEnvironmental Assessment (DEA) that will be submitted in lieu of an ExhibitE in the license application and will be available for agency review andcomment as a part of the three stage consultation process.There are many streams that enter Wolf Creek from below the lake outletwith water unrelated to the lake. The Applicant believes that there may be2 Tongass Land Management Plan Revision, Supplement to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement,U.S. Department ofAgriculture, Alaska Region, RIO-MB-146, August, 1991.p.9

Because of the steep nature of the stream and its banks, theriparian habitat is very narrow and impacts are not expected to be significant.Water is currently being used by a boat works, as in Figure 21, near themouth of Wolf Creek with a small 3.5 kW hydroelectric plant. The boatworks water is presently drawn out of the creek about 550 feet behind theboat works above several anadromous barriers.The Wolf lake Hydro Project would spill the waters drawn from the lake backinto the creek, just above the boat works hydro project intake. This wouldprovide uninterrupted flows for the boat works hydro plant and would alsoprovide water during the winter when the flows would normally be below theamount the boat works would require. In addition, the powerhousedischarge will also provide and maintain instream flows to the anadromousreach of the creek throughout the year.p.IOo",-,~"n-"'1I'

Box 898 Anchorage, AK. 99506-0898 Re:Wolf Lake Hydroelectric Project Project No. 11508 404 Certification Permit ApplicationFile No. 9-970333Dear Mr. Hayes:'I "Regarding your voice-mail of May 1, 1997 I am providing the followinginformation describing the basis of our estimation of the amount ofexcavated material for the access road.The access road will be approximately 14,000 linear feet in length and 15feet wide. Some parts of the road will be on level ground so that littleexcavation will be required. Other sections of the road will be on steppergrades than shown in the attached cross section, thus the slope shown inthe cross section ;s an average, to the best of our knowledge.The estimated excavated material is based on the following: the cut into theslope would be approximately 9 feet and slope up at the shoulder of the roadapproximately 10.5 feet, meeting the natural ground contour. This gives usan average excavation of 38.9 sq. ft. In addition, the estimated area of fillalong the downward slope of the road would be approximately 6 feet by 7feet giving us an estimated fill of 17.3 sq. ft. The excavated material (38.9sq. ft.) will be used to fill the downslope shoulder of the road. Because ofthe slope some areas will require more fill and others less so that no extramaterial from excavation is expected. The total estimated excavation and fillwould be 56.2 sq. ft. per foot. The total estimated excavation and fill forthe length of the road will be 29,141 cu. yd. The estimate of excavation andfill in the 404 Certification Application was 2,000-3,000 cu. yd., whichwould be 7·'0% of the total estimated material.

Daniel Hayes, Dept. of An•."Pennit Processing SectionMay 16, 1997\};ulfLake Hydroelectric ProjectProject No. II SOI-OOO-AKThere is only one wetland identified on the National Wetlands Inventory (seeattached maps) that is possibly within the access road corridor, the wetlandis classified as PF04B.P = PalustrineFO = Forested4 = Needle-Leafed EvergreenB = SaturatedI believe this is the wetland photographed in the 404 Certification ApplicationI sent you. This wetland could potentially require 3,122 cu. yd. of excavatedand fill material if the access road passes through its approximate 1,500 footlength, as defined by the wetland inventory. I don't believe the road willhowever pass through the wetlands entire length. Other smaller wetlandsare the creek crossings, of which there may be three or four. The smallcreeks may be channeled through a conduit under the road bed. One creekin particular may require a small bridge, possibly constructed from the treesremoved in clearing the road., ..I believe the percentage of materials expected to be placed in wetlands (7­10%), in relation to the total materials moved, to be a very conservativeestimate.In addition, in response to your letter of May 12, 1997 item a., a copy of theorder for issuing a license will not occur until approximately May, 2000 atthe approximate time the license is issued. Item b., license application leveldrawings will be included in our license application to be filed in March,1998. Erosion and sedimentation control methods will be addressed in thatfiling. Item c., all portions of the transmission line and access road will becovered by the FERC license. Item d., was addressed earlier in this letter.I am also sending a copy of this document to Dave Sturdevant, DEC for the401 Certification.

BOX 148, PORT TOWNSEND, WA 98368, 360. 33S . 7916 FAX 360. 379 . 9105Rainbow Trout (Qncorhynchus myW)Spawning in Northwestern Riparian SystemsJune 20, 1997SeasonalityWestern Rainbow Trout are spring spawners which are stimulated by rising watertemperatures. Along the Pacific Coast, spawning activity is initiated when water temperaturesrise to 3-6° C, and active spawning occurs when daily maximum temperatures reach 6-9OC. InSE Alaska, spawning typically occurs between late March and early July. Most western troutfirst spa\\'TI 2-4 years after their parents had spawned.Spawning Behavior and DevelopmentTrout typically arrive on their spawning grounds days or even weeks before spawning takesplace. Females explore gravel bottoms to find sites for suitable beds and begin their digging.. orcutting motions. When suitable sites are found (see below), the females will dig an oval bed atleast as long as their body length and several inches deep. Courting activity by males increasesuntil bed construction is complete, when actual spaYtTIing occurs. The female releases a fewhundred to a few thousand eggs into the nest which are then fertilized by spawning males.Newly released eggs are sticky and attach to the gravel. The female then covers the eggs withgravel to a depth of up to several inches. This egg bearing nest is called a "redd"".Development of Rainbow Trout depends on temperature, with development to hatchingtaking about 30 days at I 0 "C. After hatching, trout fry remain in the gravel for several weeks.Newly hatched fry are unable to feed and draw nutrients from a yolk sac that is resorbed as thefish grow. After several weeks tbetrout have grOYtTI enough to work their way up through thegravel to open water where they begin to feed This is the emergent stage.Habitat ConstraintsRainbow Trout evolved to spawn in flowing waters that circulate dissolved oxygen throughthe redd. Embryos need the most oxygen when their development is most rapid. Typically thisoccurs just before hatching at a time of rising water temperatures. Most rivers during the springhave supersaturated levels ofdissolved oxygen., but the crucial concentration is at the surface ofthe egg and this depends on the penneability of the redd. With very low water flow or if gravelsbecome clogged with fine sediment, insufficient oxygen may be available for successfulPage 1 of 2

embryonic development.Consequently. Rainbow Trout spawning habitat is usually in clearwater streams with asufficient flow to ensure good circulation ofoxygenated water through the redd. Coarse gravelsare the most commonly seen areas in which redds are constructed. In most streams, spawningtakes place on the riffle above a pool. In this transitional area where water velocity isaccelerating, water is forced through the substrate and the gravel is relatively easy to evacuateand free of silt and debris. Lake populations of Rainbow Trout typically enter an inlet or outletstream to spawn. In some lake populations, the emergent fry will spend 1-3 years in thespawning stream before returning to the central body ofthe lake.In some instances, Rainbow Trout populations in lakes without accessible inlet or outletstreams are capable of reproducing in the lake itself where there are gravel areas with upwellingwater. While instances ofthis behavior are well known, the spawning behavior andenvironmental characteristics of the redd areas have not been well studied. It is assumed thatredds within the lake are in areas that have sufficient interstitial flow of water to ensure thedeveloping embryos receive a good flow of cool, oxygenated water.References:ADF&G. ]994 Rainbow Trout.
