ADJOURNMENT KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983 Kenai City Hall John Williams, Chairman 1 CALL TO ORDER 2. ROLL CALL Present: John Williams, Tom Thompson, Allen Houtz, Leon Quesnel, and M.W. Thompson Absent: Paul Weller and Marvin Dragseth both excused 3. AGENDA APPROVAL Chairman Williams asked to add 9 -a, Property Acquisition There were no objections 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES No Minutes available 5. GUEST SPEAKER Mr. Waldo Coyle asked to speak on the naming of the proposed harbor should it become a reality. The name requested was that of Jimmy Johnson also known as the "Screaming Swede" who drowned while attempting to rescue stranded people. Chairman Williams indicated that it would be fitting to name a harbor after such a person who demonstrated a tenacity that seems typical of many Alaskans. 6. COMMUNICATIONS a. Kenai River Task Force Draft Report Chairman Williams went over the draft report for the Commissioners and explained the reason for the task force for the new members. Chairman Williams requested of administration to have the secretary attend and report back. Chairman Williams also explained that use of the river is a very hot issue between sport fishermen and enterprises on the Peninsula and especially the Anchorage people. In a letter sent out statewide from a group in Anchorage, they contested the seating of Commissioner Weller on the board on the grounds that 70% of the State's population resided in Anchorage and they should be the body that determines what should be done with the Kenai River, and they felt that that seat was reserved for representatives from Anchorage. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Page 2 Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983' 6. REPORTS a. Presentation by TAMS Corporation Chairman Williams introduced the TAMS representatives indicating that the first item to be discussed would be the bid documents that had been prepared at the request of the City. These contract documents will be for the second ramp. Mr. Mike Horton presented material to the Commission and administration and went on to elaborate on the documents. As to the Corps of Engineers permit, the permit has been applied for to include the fuel float, the boat grid and the dredging, the permits to be forthcoming upon approval. Chairman Williams indicated that it is the contention of the Commission to proceed on to the completion of the contract documents and get it ready for bid, the city manager to oversee the legal aspects of the document itself. Chairman Williams asked Mr. Brighton how to proceed to the City Council in that the money was available to go ahead with just the ramp portion at this time, i.e. go ahead and get the bids and ask the Council for recommendation on the bidding or approach the Council to ask to begin bidding. Mr. Brighton stated that the best procedure would be to get the bids from the contractors and then go to the Council. Mr. Horton went on to point out the schedule set up by TAMS for the bidding, advertisment, etc. The schedule indicated that approximately 30 days after the bid opening the Council should award for approval and that looked feasible. TAMS indicated that alot would rest with the permits from the Corps of Engineers. At this point there seems to be no problem with the permits in that there is no major change to require a modification of this portion. Mr. Brighton indicated that the public works department will be handling most of the details and will be working with TAMS on this portion. Chairman Williams asked for a recommendation rather than a motion to proceed with the finalizing of the contract and the advertising for bids, the Commission concurred. Armando Ballofet spoke to the silt and sedimentation study and the progress so far. At the last meeting, there was discussion over the velocity of the river. More tests were made and given to the mathematical model entering 3 sets of data with the end result of 3 knots maximum near the entrance to the estuary. The first samples taken got frozen and had to take more. What these 6 valid or bonafide samples confirmed what TAMS had been thinking all along that most of the silt comes from KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Page 3 Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983 the mouth of the river at the strength of the flood giving TAMS 600 parts per million Before that samples were taken at the bridge, these being easy samples to take, and got a concentration approximately half of that, this makes 5 or 6 times the amount of sediment at the mouth of the river than further back upstream. Mr. Ballofet went on to address the the Corps studies and the TAMS study, TAMS doing an average of the figures developed for all the concentration giving a mean annual sediment concentration more or less at the mouth of this basin of 300 parts per million which is half of the Corps testing. Two methods were applied to determine the sedimentation to the basin which showed a considerable sedimentation but not excessive. Mr. Ballofet introduced a new idea for the eventual harbor which consisted of a channel through the shortest part of the land to a point upriver. The Commission and TAMS discussed the idea at length, with 40% of the water to fill the basin coming from upstream creating a self cleaning situation based on uniform flow in the basin with fresher water coming from upstream without the sediment flushing out the water on the opposite tide that brings the sediment in, the mathematical model predicting the flow back and forth, this becomes an exciting possibility. The question of fish being disturbed and perhaps wildlife arose and the TAMS representatives stated that those points are still being looked into, however there would be very little disturbance of either. Mr. Horton also stated that there would be no problem with shutting down construction at any sensitive time. TAMS is still investigating all aspects. The Commission expressed their interest for the idea and would continue to investigate it. One more set of samples are to be taken. Chairman Williams asked if the silt could be controlled on an ecomonical basis should some kind of a harbor situation be built, Mr. Ballofet indicated that in his opinion it would be. Mr. Ballofet further indicatd that the idea of locks was not his favorite in that it is time consuming and expensive and the amount of sedimentation did not indicate that extreme but a gate situation may be more in order. Commissioner Houtz asked what caused the difference in the Corps samples and TAMS. Mr. Ballofet explained that the Corps sampled only in the spring tides and then in one general place and on one tide plus TAMS will have taken 80 samples when completed. The third part of the presentation dealt with the financial analysis. Mr. Horton presented the data which would answer what the project would cost to construct and operation and what the return could be. The state further wants to know what benefit would result to the local people, KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Page 4 Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983 local fisheries, and basically set up the whole picture that says how much comes in and how much goes out, is it worth funding and to do that they require more and more now a sophisticated package In order to produce a fairly high quality document you will need to outline designs and estimate costs so this document will take care of part of that. Included is an environmental assessment or early review of all the things that will be critical to getting a permit. TAMS feels that as things progress toward the overall harbor project there should be some time set aside for public participation, their suggestion is to have two public meetings during the process of the study, the first one being a work shop at the beginning and ask people to come in and say what they want and say their peice, both the commercial fishing and the public at large interests. Anchorage people should be involved to a certain extent if they wish or whatever the Commission decides to do. This gives input for ideas to the scheme and to the financial analysis, then TAMS could present the public hearing with the fancy slide show, etc. get the final ideas on record and make the final modifications if needed. Some of the agencies such as the Corps would require this at some time any way and it would be beneficial to be prepared. 8. OLD BUSINESS a. Funding for Harbor Chairman Williams went over the money that was available through the current budgets for the Commission as presented by the finance director, the what funds the City will be seeking from Juneau. Discussion went on as tothe amount of money for future or present projects. Mr. Horton suggested that with the way the funding is set up for the grid and the fuel float, there's no way anything can happen on it until late this year and nothing on -site until next year. If you wait until that happens and don't do your engineering for the main harbor first you then have another year down the line to look at, so this is a means to speed things up a year or two. Chairman Williams suggested to the Commission that what may be needed is s recommendation to the Council that administration make determinations as to the payment of the contract whether it be a hard number contract or a cost not to exceed contract. Commissioner Houtze asked if the Commission needed to asks that if it is not evident, be sure it is that the emphasis is on the general layout of the harbor itself not so much the sediment control techniques. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Page 5 Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983 MOTION: Commissioner Houtz moved, seconded by Commissioner Quesnel to recommend to the City Council and Administration that the contract as outlined in the proposal by Tippitts- Abbett- McCarthy Stratton be entered into. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote b. Trip to Juneau It was determined that Tom Thompson and M.W. Thompson would be flying down to Juneau on Wednesday 2/23/83 and Leon Quesnel will leave March 26. Reservations are to be made for them and a report at a later date. 9. NEW BUSINESS a. Land Acquisition Chairman Williams stated that there are rumors at hand that an independent oil company seeking to drill a well in the cannery loop unit for potential gas production and discovery, exploration, etc. There are also rumors at hand that Union Oil would like to drill another exporatory well in the cannery loop unit, and further rumors that the potential location of those wells are on the Coyles property which is the 37 acres which adjoin the harbor site. Chairman Williams asked for discussion from the Commission as to if it would be worth the City's effort to prevent any drilling to take place on that 37 acres or to prevent that 37 acres from being designated as a drilling site. Chairman Williams suggested a memo be sent to administration that the Harbor Commission opposes the location of a drill site on that property from the standpoint of the good and welfare of the future harbor project. By doing this, the Commission must be aware that they will be interfering with the property rights of private owners and then have to give some attention to the potential purchase and use of that ground. Along with a harbor are associated industrial lease type ground controlled by the regulators of the harbor that generally are drawn to this type of area. Commissioner Houtz asked for the amount of money it would cost the City to purchase the land in question, Chairman Williams related that last year an appraisal had been done and that while there are no funds available right now, some additional money may be gained from Juneau, and of course there is no way of knowing if the funds already needed will be allocated. Something to keep in mind is the fact that the City is trying to get rid of City lands either by lease or sale rather than obtaining more land, the very nature of real estate is that the land you want is never where you want it. KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION Page 6 Regular Meeting, February 15, 1983 Mrs. Coyle explained that they had leased to Union and Marathon oil since 1975, renewed the leases in 1978 and unless they do something by May they will have no lease. Chairman Williams asked if there were enough pressure being brought to bear by the independent oil company that they would excersize their lease by May, Mrs. Coyle stated that Union would not let their lease go. Union must drill every 90 days, if they hit a dry hole they must start another one by 90 days or the participating acreage and the lease is lost, as well as their unit. What is bringing all the pressure to bear is that for the first time in the State of Alaska, an independent drilling company is giving competition to the established large oil companies. Chairman Williams explained that part of the request to the City regarding drilling on this land is the fact that the City must issue a permit for the drilling to be done anywhere. Chairman Williams asked if the property owners would object to the Harbor Commission recommending that no permits be issued, the Coyles would not respond. Discussed followed regarding condemnation proceedures, fair market appraisal, etc. and the problem lies with not knowing what lies in the future for the harbor. MOTION: Commissioner Houtz moved that the Kenai Advisory Harbor Commission recommends to the City Council and the City Administration that no permits for drilling or industrial activities on the Coyle tracts, 37 acres adjacent to the proposed harbor facility until further notice due to the potential use and possible acquisition of those properties, seconded by Commissioner Tom Thompson. Motion passed by unaniomous roll call vote. Commissioner M.W Thompson asked for a dollar amount on the appraisals for the property in question, it was explained that there were two amounts involved, one at $15,000 per acre and one at $5,000 per acre. 10. PERSONS PRESENT NOT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None 11. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. No meeting date was set. Respectfully submitted: /L C t( L2e% Ja Xet Loper, Secretary KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION March 1, 1983 Brief Summary of Trip to Juneau by Commissioner Tom Thompson Commissioner M.W. Thompson taken on February 23, 1983. City Manager Bill Brighton gave a review of his trip which coincided with the trip the two Commissioners made. Mr. Brighton explained that his task was to give attention not only to the harbor project to but all city projects and found that after going through all the specified offices and personnel, it appears that Kenai will be getting no money for projects from the Governor's budget, however, since the legislators have not yet been consulted on needs of their districts, the budget is on hold. Our majority member is Milo Fritz and as of this time he has not submitted anything for the area north of Ninilchik. Commissioner M.W. Thompson met with Senator Kerttula who appeared to be the most profound and gave the most encouragement. Senator Kerttula indicated that timing was bad for funding since the oil prices are going down as are revenues. He agreed that the project was a regional one and informed Commissioner M.W. Thompson that the harbor request would be "placed in the hopper Commissioner Tom Thompson visited with several of the legislators and recieved alot of positive feedback but no committments. On the practical side, Mr. John Bates was very knowledgable asked very good questions about the harbor project, he has worked 9 years in Anchorage and in Juneau for 2 years. It was his opinion that the City of Kenai should be considering up to 1,000 boats rather than the 400 anticipated since Anchorage would be very interested in a facility that is closer. There were a couple of ways suggested to get into the governor's budget, one was by amendement. It was also suggested that if the project could just be introduced, then the City of Kenai would have a chance.

I started going through your Contract Documents starting with your Bidding Requirements (white) and your Conditions of Contract (blue) and discovered there are quite a few differences between the City of Kenai Standard Project Manual and the conditions in your Contract Documents. Instead of sending you the marked up copy of the documents that you sent, I am enclosing a copy of our Project Manual for the Haller, Evergreen, McKinley, 3rd, 4th, 27th and 32nd Project for you to follow as a guideline. The Project Manual that we have set up is to be used in conjunction with the Municipality of Anchorage, June 1980 Standard Specifications. We have taken the Anchorage Specs and modified them for our needs. Please go through the enclosed Project Manual using the format that we have set up. Please let me know if you have any problems with the enclosed and /or any suggestions that might help in improving them. Also, enclosed is a marked up copy of your reduced drawings on the dual load /launch ramp for the City of Kenai. On Drawing No. 2 I have the following comments: 1. I am not sure but I think the existing piling on this project consists of timber piles inside of steel pipe. 2. I feel that some additional earthwork should be added to this project to enlarge and straighten out the parking lot. If this is to be done a new drawing would need to be made since Drawing No. 2 is supposed to represent the existing conditions. The orange highlighted area on Drawing No. 2 represents the area that I feel should be filled in to create a larger parking lot. To do this the slope around the existing parking lot needs to be dozed down in toward the mud flats and approximately 5 feet of non -frost susceptible sand hauled in with approximately 12 inches of gravel surface topping. At the same time the rest of the parking lot should be examined with the contractor required to remove frost susceptible material. The entire existing parking lot should then receive approximately 6 8 inches of gravel. 3. Some type of parking scheme should also be considered such as the one I•'ve indicated on Drawing No. 2. This scheme involves installation of a chain type barrier to give some type of direction for parking. A vehicle pulling a boat coming into the area would turn left and proceed down a one -way area toward the boat ramp stopping at the end of the barrier and waiting for his turn to load or unload his boat. When it becomes his turn, he will swing around, facing east and back his trailer down the ramp. Once unloaded, he would be able to pull up into the area between the two chain barriers or an area east of the second chain barrier and back the trailer up against the barrier. The idea that I had for a barrier was similar to the one we have at the Kenai Airport. This consists of heavy poles imbeded in concrete with a heavy chain drooped between them. 4. The signing would be of utmost importance in directing traffic and showing areas of "No Parking The signing should be a very important part of this project showing not only "One Way" directional signs but areas of "No Parking" possibly "Skiff Parking" or "No Unattended Boats or Skiffs Alongside the Dock or On the Dock etc. Many of the Kenai commercial fisherman in this area leave their large boats out in the River and commute back and forth to them with small skiffs. In the past they've been allowed to tie their skiffs on the south side of the dock away from the ramp. With the new addition of ramp on the south side there will be no place for them to place their skiffs. If we widen the area east and south of the ramps we could possibly designate that area for them to drag their skiffs onto. On Drawing No. 3 I have the following comments: 1. On Drawing No. 3, Detail B, you show a picture of gravel between the 4 x 12 sills. This seems like a fairly good idea but it isn't very clear on the drawings if this gravel is to be placed and compacted throughout the project. 2. The Project Drawings call for 150 new concrete planks plus salvaging 80 existing launch ramp concrete planks. Your Bid Proposal calls for these 150 new planks to be paid for per each, including the installation cost. Your drawing shows 150' of new planking and in our telephone conversation you mentioned that you anticipate having a few leftover. The City of Kenai would like to have at least 10 additional concrete planks to be used for replacement in the future. These replacement concrete planks should not be as expensive since they will not be installed but merely stockpiled in a designated area. Possibly there should be an additional bid item for stockpiled concrete planks. On Drawing No. 4 I have the following comments: 1. On Drawing No. 4, Detail E, you show that the removable steel piling, which is 10" Schedule 40 Pipe, will be inserted into 12" Schedule 40 Pipe to a depth of 4'. My question is whether or not this 4' will be sufficient when the removable steel pipe's length is from 20' to 31'. 2. Detail J and F show the spacing sleeve and a base plate that will be inside the 12" steel pipe piling. The question I have is how will the spacing sleeve and the base plate be welded inside the 12" pipe? I have talked with John Williams, Chairman of the Kenai Advisory Harbor Commission about the scheduling of this project. Mr. Williams is a commercial fisherman that uses these facilities. He stated that there will be commercial fishing activity in this area as early as the latter part of April through the end of August. He suggests that we bid this project toward the end of July with a construction start up date of September 1. Mr. Williams also suggested, and I agree, that the contractor should install a project sign and a large 4' x 8' sign stating that the ramp and floats will be completely dismantled and that all boats in the vicinity of the ramp, floats and parking lot will be removed after September 1, 1983. Please review the enclosed Contract Manual and comments that I have made on your construction drawings and get back to me as soon as possible. Possibly after you have made your review you could schedule a trip to Kenai where we could meet in our conference room and discuss the proposed final set of plans and the Contract Documents.

A promo- tional program titled "Discover Pacific Squid" is being spearheaded by the West Coast Fisheries Development Foundation. Brochures and other forms of publicity are being utilized to increase the awareness of both marketers and consumers of seafood to focus more closely on the nutritional values and availability of Pacific squid. AG TRADE DROPS The Foreign Agricultural Service of the PNWA NEWSLETTER AG TRADE Continued U.S. Department of Agriculture reports continued drops in U.S. Agricultural exports and imports. December exports totaled $2.9 billion, down $700 million from the same month a year earlier, while imports were down 11X from last year to a level of $1.2 billion. These levels of activity resulted in an agricultural trade surplus of $1.7 billion. OSU CELEBRATES The Oregon State University School of Agri- culture is celebrating seventy -five years of service with its Annual Agricultural Confer- ence this week in Corvallis. A variety of speakers and workshops make up the schedule along with a number of special events. Information is available from the OSU School of Agriculture. ASTORIA LEADERS RESIGN FLOYD SHELTON, General Manager of the PORT OF ASTORIA and TOM NOTOS, Port Deputy Director for Development announced their resignations in late February. Other recent changes at the Port of Astoria have seen the resignation of GREG BAKER, the Port Finance Director and CHRIS ROSE, who was Executive Assistant for Community Devel- opment. (See request for resume's for Port of Astoria Executive Director published elsewhere in this Newsletter.) CARGO VOLUME DROPS Total tonnage on the Columbia /Snake Rivers System during 1982 dropped 147 compared to 1981, with last year's total movements at Bonneville Lock only S.4 million short tons. That compares with 9.7 million tons in 1981, a record year. AAPA PLANS STUDY The American Association of Port Authorities has announced intentions to analyze the potential impact of additional transportation user taxes on U.S. Agricultural imports. This reflects concern of the U.S. Port indus- try over the cumulative effect that new user fees will have on the competitiveness of U.S. goods in foreign markets. PORTLAND APPLsJES NEW BRIDGE The PORT OF PORTLAND and the City of Portland officials have agreed to the terms of contract for design, construction and maintenance of the long sought Columbia Slough Bridge. The two -lane bridge rs expected to assist industrial development in the Rivergate Area. Cost to the Port of the project will be $1.2 million. Construction will commence in September. SUPERPORT STUDIED Legislation has been introduced in the Washington legislature which, if passed, would consolidate most of the Puget Sound area ports into a single district for pro- motional, developmental, financial and administrative purposes. LONGVIEW TONNAGE, BOOSTED During 1982 PORT LONGVIEW saw a 62. increase in total offshore tonnages, totaling some 4.8 million metric tons. Slightly more than half of this amount moved over the privately -owned docks at Longview, with the remaining 2.4 million metric tons moving across Port Longview facilities. Net operations at Port Longview increased by $704,000. DEEPER MOUTH OF COLUMBIA URGED A late February hearing by the Corps of Engineers' Portland District saw tremendous support provided from the port, shipper, and maritime community for a deepening of the Mouth of the Columbia River Shipping Channel. A recently completed study by the Corps indicated a substantial benefit cost ratio would result if the Mouth of the Columbia were deepened from its current 48 feet to 55 feet. 55 feet is the depth the Corps has determined to be necessary to bring the Mouth into design balance with the 40 foot river channel, thereby allowing maximum utilization of the river channel. PNWA was among the many voicing enthusiastic support of the proposed project. PNWA NEWSLETTER Page 3 PORT OF EVERETT FLOATS BOND.) UREA MOVING TO PORTLAND The PORT OF EVERETT's Industrial Devel- opment Corporation has approved a $1 million bond resolution for the Scott Paper Company. The issue will run for twenty years at 10 -1/8 ALASKA IS FISH SOURCE A recent study by Natural Resource Consul- tants of Seattle indicates that fishermen based in Washington State caught about 70% of their fish in waters off Alaska, totaling some 460 million pounds, during the target year of the study. Portland has been selected as a distribution center in the Northwest for bulk urea being barged from the Kenai Pennisula in Alaska. Urea is principally used as fertilizer and as a component in the resin utilized in making plywood. BAKER TAKES PORTS POST GREG BAKER, until recently Deputy Director of Finance at the PORT OF ASTORIA, is moving into the Manager's position in the Ports Division of the OREGON DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. Baker succeeds RICK SCHULBERG who has moved within DED to manage the Business and Community Relations Division. ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY UNDERWAY The Division of State Lands in Oregon is conducting an economic impact study of pro- posed changes in lease rates for submerged and submersible lands owned by the State. Data gathering has begun with a number of visits scheduled at ports throughout Oregon, especially on the Coast. Study tasks include analyzing lease rate structures; evaluating the effect of price changes on demand; determining the best measures for fee administration; and, recommending the appropriate approach to implementation. CANAL DISPUTE CONTINUES Dreams of a Trans European canal remain on hold, pending resolution of the dispute be- tween transportation interests and environ- mental concerns focusing on a 39 -mile in- complete section of a 2100 -mile canal in Europe. Totally complete, from Rotterdam in the Netherlands to Nur =_rg in West Germany, and also complete from the Black Sea westward through Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Austria into West Germany, the Rhein -Main- Danube Canal is missing but one link before the thousand year -old dream comes true, providing a sub- stantial corridor for the movement of cargoes through Europe. Work stoppage occured in January 1982, However the West German federal government and the Bavarian State government have pledged a total of $104 million to the project for 1983. CORPS SEEKS DREDGING BIDS The Portland District of the Corps of Engineers has invited bids for maintenance dredging on the Coos Millicoma Rivers. Pipeline dredging of the channel to dimen- sions of 50 feet wide by 6 feet in depth is estimated to cost the government between $25 and $100 thousand dollars. The contract is set aside for small business. Bids are expected to be opened on March 17th. LOCKS TO CLOSE As reported in an earlier Newsletter, com- merce on the Columbia /Snake Rivers System will halt for a two -week period beginning on March 12th, while the Corps of Engineers accomplishes annual maintenance and repairs to the eight locks on the System. FLOOD PREVENTION CONTINUES Following a state of activity in the crater by Mt. St. Helens, the Corps of Engineers has resumed its efforts in pumping down the level of water in Spirit Lake. Continued success in their efforts will help prevent catastrophic flooding, should Spirit Lake overtop the debris barrier retaining much of its water. Meanwhile, downstream levee- hardening efforts continue. Studies surrounding One Mt. St. Helens problem indicate that if a serious flood occurred, huge walls of mud and water would roar out of the Toutle and Cowlitz River Basins, burying the cities in its path. PNWA NEWSLETTLR Page 4 CORPS AIRS FISH PLAN As part of the Lower Snake River Fish Wildlife Compensation Plan, Walla Walla District Corps of Engineers is receiving public comment on a proposal to acquire 50 acres of land in order to provide stream access for fishing in Idaho. The plan provides that only land held by willing sellers will be considered for acquisition. WEYERHAEUSER GARNERS PERMIT The Seattle District of the Corps of Engineers has announced intentions to issue a permit to the WEYERHAEUSER COMPANY to build an export pier in southern Puget Sound. The project will include a 1,300 foot pier with attendant access ramp and other facilities to be located at Dupont, Washington. The Company plans to use the pier for berthing of ships taking on forest products cargo. The Corps held extensive meetings and evaluation sessions focusing especially on environmental concerns. The Corps has concluded that Weyerhaeuser's proposal will address to a sufficient degree the environ- mental issues brought up during the studies and hearings. ELWHA VALLEY STUDIED Also in the Seattle District a study is underway to determine flood protection measures in the lower Elwha River Valley. Especially affected by persistent flooding problems, is the Elwha Klallarn Indian Tribe, whose reservation is located about five miles west of Port Angeles on the Olympic Penninsula. The Corps is looking at the prospect of a levee, as well as additional flood control measures. CORPS TO FILL WILLOW CREEK LAKE Final plans have been made to close the. diversion at the base of the recently com- pleted Willow Creek Dam and allow the lake behind it to begin filling. After closure, some 90 acre feet of water must be stored behind the Dam in order to fill the lake to the Dam's outlet level. As construction progress allows, additional flnws will continue to be stored until the lake reaches a normal pool level of 2,047 feet, up from ,..le present diversion pipe level of 1,978 feet. MRS. DOLE INSTALLED AS SEC.TRANS. During the recent ceremonies surrounding the nomination, confirmation and swearing in of Elizabeth Dole as Secretary of Transportation in the Reagan Administration, she commented that de- regulation would con- tinue to be a priority at the Department of Transportation under her leadership. In addition, Mrs. Dole expressed an interest in highway safety, supporting AMTRAK, supporting the Merchant Marine and backing the Reagan Administration in establishing additional user fees for transportation services. BPA DEFERS RATE PROPOSAL The Bonneville Power Administration has delayed for at least 30 days publishing of its newest rate proposal. The deadline has been moved from April 28 to March 28, how- ever, the new rate is still scheduled to take effect on November 1, 1983. BPA Administrator, Peter Johnson stated that recent developments have required the delay because changing conditions demand a re- assessment of all anticipated expendi- tures and reductions where appropriate. Previous assumptions indicated the need for a priority -firm rate increase of up to 45% in November. However, a wholesale rate in- crease of this magnitude is simply unaccep- table under present economic conditions, according to Johnson. Changed conditions prompting Johnson's action, include a lower forecast of demand for electricity in the near term because of recessionary influences; further down- ward pressure on I3PA's anticipated cash revenue; continued weakness in world -wide markets for aluminum; and little interest among potential customers in the Southwest for surplus power generated in the Northwest. RDC PROMOTES ECNOMIC POLICY The RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL for ALASKA has put together a statement of policy for economic development. In addition, they are supporting development Of a similar policy by the legislature of PNWA NEWSLETTER Page 5 RDC PROMOTES ECONOMIC POLICY Continued the State of Alaska. The RDC action is based on their belief that it is imperative that Alaska have an official public policy dealing with economic development. Elsewhere in Alaska, two major community activities are encouraging development in the transportation and energy fields. At Nome, city officials are promoting a new $38.5 million port in order to reduce the cost and the difficulty of shipping freight from Seattle to Northwest Alaska. City officials estimate a 255 savings in the cost of shipping, a substantial increase in economic activity, and hundreds of new jobs- all resulting from construction and operation of the port facility. The port design would see a 3600 ft. causeway in Norton Sound with berthing and loading facilities at the seaward end, supported by an onshore storage and re- handling area. At Fairbanks, a community action committee has been mobilized to promote the construc- tion and operation of a new natural gas pipeline from the Northern Slope of Alaska to Fairbanks, where the gas would be used to provide cheaper energy than is now available. SUSITNA PERMITS SOUGHT Alaska Governor Bill Sheffield personally applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the license to build two dams on the Susitna River that would generate 1,620 megawatts of electricity. The $5.1 billion twin- -darn project on the Susitna River System, between Anchorage and Fairbanks, would include an 885 ft. high earthen dam, a 645 ft. high concrete dam, and 6 underground powerhouses. The permit application set in notion a number of steps during which both economic and engineering review of the projects will occur, as well as an environmental assessment. REGIONAL PLAN UNVEILED The Northwest Power Planning Council has pub- lished its Draft Energy Plan for the Pacific Northwest Region for the next two decades. Comments will be received by the Council until March 21st, both in writing and at a series of several public hearings throughout the region during March. Scheduled for adoption in April, the Plan will set the pace for energy- related- decisions in the Pacific Northwest between now and the year 2000. The Plan, in its current form, does not anticipate the need for Washington Public Power Supply System Plants No. 4 5 or Puget Sound Power LighttSkagit /Hanford Plant. It depends to a large degree upon conservation, additional hydroelectric generation and co- generation for future supplies of additional energy. Since the enabling legislation for the Council's activity was passed two years ago, the Pacific Northwest Region has moved from an energy -short scenario to a position of substantial surplus, thereby diminishing the urgency surrounding the particulars in any regional energy plan. However, far reaching impacts will occur under any im- plementation scenario, so public comments are WPPSS BONDS DROP The bond rating of the WASHINGTON PUBLIC POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM'S Projects No. 4 5 has been dropped to CC by Standard and Poor's Corporation, one of the two major bond rating entities. The lowered rating reflects a judgment by Standard and Poor's that a significant likelihood of payment default exists within the year. Supply System representatives do not view the down- grading as a particularly significant action, except to holders of the bonds. Meanwhile WPPSS Projects 1, 2 and 3 have had their AA rating re- affirmed by Stan- dard and Poor's. ALUMINUM ACTIVITIES DOWN OR DEFERRED The ARCO Aluminum Company is attempting to sell a substantial interest in its Columbia Falls, Montana primary smelter. The 180,000 ton capacity smelter is only opera- ting at about 40% capacity and is plagued by huge over- capacity problems. Meanwhile, the Alurnax Pacific Corporation has announced indefinite deferral of its proposed $600 million smelter at the PORT OF UMATILLA in Eastern Oregon. PNWA NEWSLETTER Page 6 ALUMINUM ACTIVITIES Continued Electrical rates and continuing low world- wide demand for aluminum were blamed for the deferral of the project. WWP DEALS WITH POTLATCH The WASHINGTON WATER POWER COMPANY of Spokane has agreed with the Potlatch Corporation of Idaho to Luy excess power from co- generating facilities at Potlatch. WWP agreed to pay some $15 million a year for 31 megawatts of electricity. Higher bills for WWP customers will result in the short term, however, in the long run the contract will prove beneficial to WWP and its customers. CO- GENERATOR WORKING WELL Reports from Vancouver indicate that the co- generation project between the Great Western Malting Company and the CLARK COUNTY PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT is running smoothly. The gas turbine- powered system is running 24 hours a day, producing 21 megawatts of elec- tricity while heating water to dry barley for Great Western. OREGON WILDERNESS BILL MOVES The House Interior Committee has passed an Oregon wilderness bill which adds some one million acres to the current one million acres designated as wilderness in Oregon. The bill also releases two million additional acres for multiple use. Substantial disagreement continues among members of the Oregon Congressional delega- tion over the size of the bill. That division is reflected in the split amongst the interest groups tracking the legislation as well. Debate will continue as the bill comes before the full House. NEW GORGE BILL EXPECTED It is anticipated that Senator Packwood will re- introduce legislation to create a National Scenic area in the Columbia River Gorge this week. Senator Bob Packwood recently held a hearing on the tourism aspects of scenic area pro- tection in the Gorge. The proposed legislation differs little from that sponsored by Senator Packwood last year. Senator Hatfield is expected to co- sponsor. Senator Hatfield has announced a public hearing on scenic area designation to be held March 25th in Portland. Although bills have been introduced in both houses of Congress to provide for federal control of land use in the Columbia Gorge, it is significant that no co- sponsorship has been forthcomiing from members of the Washington State Congressional delegation. WYDEN PROMOTES FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Congressman Ron Wyden of Oregon has re- introduced a bill requiring owners of vessels doing business in U.S. ports to establish and maintain financial responsi- bility for their debts. BONKER TARGETS LOOPHOLE Congressman Don Bonker of Washington has introduced legislation that would repeal a portion of the Jones Act, thereby pre- venting diversion of domestic waterborne commerce from Puget Sound to Canadian ports. LONGSHORE ACT AMENDMENTS PROPOSED Legislation was recently introduced to substantially amend the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. Similar legislation passed the Senate unanimously during the last session, but went nowhere in the House. Supporters hope to see compromise legislation enacted fairly early during this session of Congress. SEA GRANT SUPPORTED The Reagan Administration's budget for fiscal year 1984 does not provide federal funding for the SEA GRANT Program. However, Senator Packwood and a number of other influential voices in Congress fully intend to restore funding to the SEA GRANT Program despite the Administration's intention. Many SEA GRANT activities have a continuing positive influence on fisheries and other maritime- oriented activities in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. PNWA NEWSLETTER Page PACKWOOD CONTINUES IN NEWS Senator Packwood has introduced S -48, legis- lation which would continue an emphasis on regulatory reform. The bill would replace the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Federal Maritime Commission with a 5- member National Transpor- tation Commission to streamline and reduce regulatory functions in those arenas. An additional provision of the legislation would give railroads permission to buy barge lines and other competitive transportation activities in repealing certain provisions of the Panama Canal Act of 1912 which prohibits such cross -modal ownership by railroads. USER TAX PROPOSALS The Reagan administration continues to mull over new user tax legislation. Draft legis- lation targeting 60% cost recovery from the Nation's deep -draft ports harbors and per- haps as much as 70% recovery from the Nation's shallow -draft waterway systems con- tinue to be discussed in the Administration. It is anticipated that proposals may reach Capitol Hill as soon as Mid- March. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Hatfield and a num- ber of interested Senators, are considering legislation of an alternative nature which would provide for as much as 40% cost recovery from non federal sources for the deep -draft navigation system. Senator Hat- field's legislation would recover these costs through imposition of an across -the- board surtax on customs. PEOPLE IN THE NEWS LARRY KAPTUR, longtime Chief of Program Development of the North Pacific Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has re- tired. He will be replaced by AL SUMMERS, who has until now been Assistant Chief of the Program Development Office in Portland. As was reported earlier, DUANE DOWNING, Chief of Operations for the Walla Walla District Corps of Engineers, retired after 34 years of federal service. Downing was Chief of Operations from 1965, having been responsible for the operation of the powerhouses, navi- gation locks, fishways and reservoirs in the District, as well as recreational CALENDAR facilities aria wildlife habitat areas. A key element in Downing's recent operational schedule has been the Operation fish -Run effort aimed at increasing the survival rate of salmon migrating downstream.

Thompson taken on February 23, 1983. City Manager Bill Brighton gave a review of his trip which coincided with the trip the two Commissioners made. Mr. Brighton explained that his task was to give attention not only to the harbor project to but all city projects and found that after going through all the specified offices and personnel, it appears that Kenai will be getting no money for projects from the Governor's budget, however, since the legislators have not yet been consulted on needs of their districts, the budget is on hold. Our majority member is Milo Fritz and as of this time he has not submitted anything for the area north of Ninilchik. Commissioner M.W. Thompson met with Senator Kerttula who appeared to be the most profound and gave the most encouragement. Senator Kerttula indicated that timing was bad for funding since the oil prices are going down as are revenues. He agreed that the project was a regional one and informed Commissioner M.W. Thompson that the harbor request would be "placed in the hopper Commissioner Tom Thompson visited with several of the legislators and recieved alot of positive feedback but no committments. On the practical side, Mr. John Bates was very knowledgable asked very good questions about the harbor project, he has worked 9 years in Anchorage and in Juneau for 2 years. It was his opinion that the City of Kenai should be considering up to 1,000 boats rather than the 400 anticipated since Anchorage would be very interested in a facility that is closer. There were a couple of ways suggested to get into the governor's budget, one was by amendement. It was also suggested that if the project could just be introduced, then the City of Kenai would have a chance.

Soldotna is starting the seventh year of a 24 -year lease In his end -of- the -year report to Soldotna Mayor Justin Maile, Rice said few changes took place in operations over the past year. The main changes mentioned by Rice included: Eliminating the harbor's concessions service, which Rice said did not make enough money. Rice added, though, that the service may be revived if it could in- office space and personnel lodging. The first cabin will now be used as living quarters for Rice. Using two cranes to move loads of fish from the dock. The cranes, according to Rice, in- crease the harbor's ability to move fish in a "smooth, timely manner."
