[Project No. 11077–001]

Alaska Power and Telephone

Company; Notice of Intent to Conduct

Environmental Scoping Meetings and

Site Visit

May 23, 1995.

The Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC) has received an

application for a license of the proposed

Goat Lake Hydroelectric Project, Project

No. 11077–001. The project is proposed

by Alaska Power and Telephone

Company (Alaska Power). The project

would be located along Pitchfork Falls,

a tributary to the Skagway River, about

7 miles northeast of Skagway, in

southeast Alaska. The project lies

almost exclusively on U.S. Forest (FS)

property.

The FERC and FS (staff) intend to

prepare an Environmental Assessment

(EA) on the proposed Goat Lake

Hydroelectric Project in accordance

with the National Environmental Policy

Act. In the EA, staff will consider both

site-specific and cumulative

environmental impacts of the project

and reasonable alternatives, and will

include an economic, financial, and

engineering analysis.

The draft EA will be issued and

circulated for review by all interested

parties. All comments filed on the draft

EA will be analyzed and considered by

the staff in a final EA. The staff’s

conclusions and recommendations will

then be presented for the consideration

by the Commission in reaching its final

licensing decision.

Scoping Meetings

Staff will hold two scoping meetings.

A scoping meeting oriented towards the

public will be held on June 20, 1995 at

7 p.m., at the Skagway School,

Multipurpose Room, 15th Avenue and

Main Street, Skagway, Alaska. A

scoping meeting oriented towards the

agencies will be held on June 22, 1995

at 9:30 a.m., at the U.S. Forest Service,

Juneau Ranger District, Conference

Room, 8465 Old Dairy Road, Juneau,

Alaska.

Interested individuals, organizations,

and agencies are invited to attend either

or both meetings and assist the staff in

identifying the scope of environmental

issues that should be analyzed in the

EA.

To help focus discussions at the

meetings, a scoping document outlining

subject areas to be addressed in the EA

will be mailed to agencies and

interested individuals on the FERC

mailing list. Copies of the scoping

document will also be available at the

scoping meetings.

Objectives

At the scoping meetings the staff will:

(1) Identify preliminary environmental

issues related to the proposed project;

(2) identify preliminary resource issues

that are not important and do not

require detailed analysis; (3) identify

reasonable alternatives to be addressed

in the EA; (4) solicit from the meeting

participants all available information,

especially quantified data, on the

resource issues; and (5) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA, including points of view in

opposition to, or in support of, the

staff’s preliminary views.

Procedures

The scoping meetings will be

recorded by a court reporter and all

statements (oral and written) will

become part of the formal record of the

FERC proceedings on the Goat Lake

Hydroelectric Project. Individuals

presenting statements at the meetings

will be asked to clearly identify

themselves for the record.

Individuals, organizations, and

agencies with environmental expertise

and concerns are encouraged to attend

the meetings and assist the staff in

defining and clarifying the issues to be

addressed in the EA.

Persons choosing not to speak at the

meetings, but who have views on the

issues or information relevant to the

issues, may submit written statements

for inclusion in the public record at the

meetings. In addition, written scoping

1Because of the remote steep topography, shrub

thickets, and abundant surface water in the project

area, those attending the site visit should be

physically fit and must wear appropriate clothing

and footgear. In addition, those shuttled by

helicopter to the project site not on official agency

business, may need to sign a waiver of liability.

2To enter Canada, proof of U.S. citizenship will

be required. Therefore, all participants must

provide one of the following: birth certificate, voters

registration card, social security card, or U.S.

passport.

3One alternate for returning to Skagway would be

for participants to board an 11:00 a.m. southbound

flag train around milepost 9 on the WP&YR RR.

This train would arrive in Skagway around 12:00

noon and the trip would cost $25.00. Another

alternate for returning to Skagway would be for

participants to board a 5:30 p.m. southbound flag

train around milepost 9 on the WP&YR RR. Its

arrival in Skagway would be around 6:30 p.m. at

a cost of $25.00. All tickets would have to be

purchased in advance.

comments may be filed with the

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 825 North Capitol Street,

NE., Washington, DC 20426, until July

22, 1995.

All written correspondence should

clearly show the following caption on

the first page: Goat Lake Hydroelectric

Project, FERC Project No. 11077–001.

Intervenors—those on the FERC’s

service list for this proceeding

(parties)—are reminded of the FERC’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure,

requiring parties filing documents with

FERC, to serve a copy of the document

on each person whose name appears on

the official service list. Further, if a

party or interceder files comments or

documents with FERC 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.

Site Visit

A site visit to the proposed Goat Lake

Hydroelectric Project is planned for

Tuesday, June 20, 1995, and is intended

to provide interested parties a first hand

observation of the project site. Because

of the remoteness and difficulty of

ground access at the proposed project

site, we intend to provide helicopter

shuttle to the site. To plan on helicopter

use in advance of the visit, we must

identify the number of parties interested

in attending the site visit. Therefore, if

you have a particular interest in visiting

the proposed project site and plan on

participating in scoping of this project

as identified in section 3 of the Scoping

Document 1, you must first register with

Mr. Stan Selmer at (907) 983–2202, no

later than June 5, 1995. Mr. Selmer will

serve as the principle site visit

coordinator.

We will meet at Alaska Power’s office

at 5th and Spring Street in Skagway,

Alaska at 7:00 a.m., and promptly leave

for the upper project area near Goat

Lake located about 8 miles away, via

helicopter.1 Those in attendance will

then hike down Pitchfork Falls along

the alignment of proposed project

features. Around 1:00 p.m., the

participants will be picked up around

milepost 9 by a flag train on the White

Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, and

will travel northbound across White

Pass to Frazer, Canada to give

participants a scenic overview of the

Klondike area around the proposed

project. There will be a cost of

approximately $64.00 for the train ride

to Frazer, and tickets would have to be

purchased in advance. Vehicles will be

parked at Frazer to provide

transportation back to Skagway along

the Klondike Highway.2 Arrival in

Skagway is expected around 4:00 p.m.3

In the event inclement weather

precludes the site visit on June 20, on

alternate site visit will be held on

Wednesday, June 21, 1995, with the

same itinerary.

Any questions regarding this notice

may be directed to Mr. Carl Keller,

FERC Environmental Coordinator,

Washington, DC (202) 219–2831, or Ms.

Margaret Beilharz, FS Project Manager

at (907) 586–8800, Juneau, Alaska.
