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

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.
