Submittal of a legislative proposal to Congress for the sales of the Eklutna and the Snettisham projects. Environmental assessment

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10143312

The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to sell the Eklutna and Snettisham Projects. These two hydroelectric projects and associated transmission facilities represent Alaska Power Administration`s (APA) sole involvement in power marketing activities in Alaska. There are no plans, proposals or authorizations to expand the Federal power program in Alaska. It is no longer necessary to have the separate small Federal power program in Alaska. The Eklutna and Snettisham are well suited to ownership and control within Alaska. This environmental assessment will analyze the proposed alternatives for the sales and determine whether significant environmental impacts and associated socio-economic impacts may result from this Federal action. This analysis includes the collection and review of data provided to APA on local environmental factors by resource managing agencies located within Alaska.
