Kodiak Landfill–EPA's waste water regulations to treat landfill leachate in Kodiak...that eventually drains directly into the ocean... have increased the cost of our operation to an unsupportable level without extreme increases in user fees). 2. Fishing Issues(Lake Enhancement(Karluk Lake etc.)and By-Catch(King Salmon,Halibut,and Crab)by trawlers). 3. NOAA's Fisheries Research Funding and the NOAA lease of the KFRC(We are working on annual cost reduction projects for and with NOAA.The ongoing HVAC project reduces the heating cost of the building and is based on an a study to make the facility more energy efficient.The larger project is a heat capture process that captures heat from the large volume of seawater that flows through the building and uses it to heat the building.The Borough will be spending our money to make this happen).Also see attached article on what the Juneau Assembly is discussing.It is about what can be done to move the Alaska Fisheries Science Center from Seattle to Alaska...a familiar subject!) By the way,the inspection of our facility by GSA brought nothing but glowing comments from them. 4. Subsistence Designation to keep Kodiak designation as'rural" Page 9 of 14 Washington, D.C. Lobbying Trip Discussion AGENDA ITEM #24. 5. USGC—stationing of cutters in Kodiak(off shore patrol cutters and fast response cutters)and the expansion of the USCG presence in Kodiak due to Arctic issues. Please add any that I have missed. Thanks Bud Cassidy Manager Tucker—Can you clarify what the Assembly approved to do in regard to funding work at the KFRC.I am not able to get into the contracts database.

FY2014-26 8 9 A RESOLUTION OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY 10 ADOPTING A FEDERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND 11 IDENTIFYING FEDERAL PROGRAM PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL O 12 FISCAL YEAR 2015 13 14 WHEREAS, a capital improvement program has been adopted by the Kodiak Island 15 Borough Assembly that identifies the needs of the community over the next five years; and 16 17 WHEREAS, the Kodiak Island Borough has identified a capital improvement project to 18 submit to the Alaska Congressional Delegation for funding consideration; and 19 20 WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak 21 Island Borough on which federal programs should be considered priorities for rural Alaskan 22 communities and their residents. 23 24 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 25 BOROUGH that: 26 27 Section 1: The Kodiak Island Borough's federal capital improvement project priorities for 28 federal fiscal year 2015 are as follows: 29 30 1. Landfill Wastewater Treatment 31 Total Estimated Cost of the Project: $32,000,000 32 Funding Sources: local and state $28,600,000 • 33 Federal Funding Request: $3,400,000 34 35 The Kodiak Island Borough's landfill is near the limits of its permitted capacity. To 36 address this problem a lateral expansion project constructing new cells adjacent 37 to the existing landfill is underway. Current Alaska Department of Environmental 38 Conservation regulations implementing the federal Clean Water Act require the 39 new cells to be fully lined to capture all leachate or fluids produced by the waste. 40 The captured leachate will be processed in a newly constructed treatment facility 41 on-site. This treatment represents an unfunded federal mandate. Federal 42 assistance to communities to comply with this federal mandate has been 43 available in the past through EPA's State and Tribal Assistance Grant Program O 44 45 (the "STAG" Program). The Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Alaska Delegation's assistance to restore funding for the STAG program so that the KIB 46 can compete for federal matching funds for this project. 47 48 Section 2: The Kodiak Island Borough's views and recommendations on priority federal 49 programs are as follows: 50 ( � 51 1. Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes: 'There are over 2.8 million acres removed by the 52 Federal Government from taxation within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Resolution No. F12014-26 ) Page 1 of 3 Page 11 of 14 Washington, D.C. Lobbying Trip Discussion AGENDA ITEM #2.d. 53 Borough. This is land that would otherwise be available to the private sector to r 54 develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and the rural Kodiak Island 55 communities. This in turn would create tax revenues for the Kodiak Island 56 Borough. PILT was enacted by Congress to help offset the loss of revenues to 57 municipal entities caused by federal land withdrawals within local government 58 boundaries. The KIB uses these funds to provide basic social services, including "` 59 medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, and schools. The 60 Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Delegation's assistance in reauthorizing the 61 program for three to five years. 62 63 2. Refuge Revenue Sharing: The National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source 64 of replacement revenue to communities like ours who have the presence of a 65 large Federal wildlife refuge within their boundaries. That presence removes 66 substantial amounts of property from the local property tax base. The share we 67 receive from the Fund is based on a formula that partially compensates us for our 68 tax losses due to the existence of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge. The 69 Refuge is over 1.9 million acres in size and therefore has permanently removed 70 from private ownership, development and taxation over half the property on the 71 island. The Kodiak Island Borough is seeking the Alaska Delegation's assistance 72 in providing level funding for this program. 73 74 3. Karluk Lake Enrichment Project: 75 The Karluk Lake system on the west side of Kodiak Island is the largest producer 76 of sockeye salmon in the Kodiak area and supports a large portion of the area's 77 commercial and subsistence sockeye fisheries. Since 2007, returns of adult 78 sockeye to the Karluk system have been extremely poor, most likely due to over _.,_ 79 escapement of spawning adults in earlier years. Continuing low returns will not 80 only deprive local fisheries, low spawning escapements will also reduce the 81 supply of marine derived nutrients to the lake system. Thus, the system may 82 remain in a low state of productivity indefinitely into the future. 83 In order to bring the Karluk Lake ecosystem back to its earlier, higher level of 84 production, the Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association (KRAA) proposes to 85 apply nutrients over the course of up to five years. This lake enrichment project 86 follows established protocols for rehabilitating sockeye salmon rearing 87 environments. However, because Karluk Lake is within the Kodiak National 88 Wildlife Refuge and a pre-statehood withdrawal, it appears that approval is 89 required from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Refuge compatibility reviews 90 and environmental assessments by the USFWS have been protracted and are - 91 not yet complete. 92 It is vitally important that the USFWS approve this lake enrichment project without 93 delay. It would additionally helpful if the local federal refuge staff were to act as a 94 cooperating agency in the project, provide logistic support, and help monitor the 95 results. The Kodiak Island Borough supports local facilitation and approval of this 96 important project that has a direct impact to the community's economic base. 97 98 99 4. Groundfish Surveys: The North Pacific Fishery Management Council has 100 raised concerns with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration about 101 what appears to be slippage in the winter and summer groundflsh surveys for the 102 Gulf of Alaska. The diminution in these surveys will eventually come back to 103 haunt Kodiak fishermen and processors should the North Pacific Council turn Kodiak Island Borough,Alaska Resolution No. FY2014-26 Page 2 of 30 Page 12 of 14 Washington, D.C. Lobbying Trip Discussion AGENDA ITEM #24. 104 precautionary in the establishment of annual groundfish quotas due to insufficient 105 stock assessment data. A reduction in federal groundfish quotas for pollock, cod, 106 and rockfish would result in lost economic opportunities for Kodiak residents and 107 lower raw fish tax receipts over time. The Kodiak Island Borough recommends 108 that the Alaska Delegation add the groundfish surveys to the list of programs to 109 be protected in the budget process. 110 111 5. Federal Subsistence Management And Rural Determination: The Borough is 112 concerned that the review being conducted by the Departments of Interior and 113 Agriculture could result in a change in the definition of rural communities that 114 would eliminate the ability of Borough residents to harvest fish and game on a 115 subsistence basis. The Borough opposes use of a population threshold in 116 making rural determination decisions that would overlook Kodiak's remote 117 location; transportation access limitations; distance and difficulty accessing 118 commercial food stores, particularly in inclement weather; and the long-standing 119 reliance of many of the community's residents on subsistence harvest to feed 120 themselves and their families, among other factors. We request that the Alaska 121 Delegation closely monitor the subsistence management review and at the 122 appropriate time convey these concerns directly to the Departments. 123 124 6. Federal Fisheries Observer Program Funding: The Kodiak Island Borough 125 encourages the Secretary of Commerce to provide sufficient federal funding for 126 NOAA to offset the costs of the 100% observer coverage requirement 127 implemented by the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council in 2013. While 128 the Borough recognizes the value of the real time data gathered by human 129 observers placed on local fleet vessels, the cost of the program to small vessel 130 owners and operators is excessive. In addition to cost, space and safety become 131 complicating factors when human observers are required to travel and work on 132 the smaller vessels in Kodiak's fleet, especially those less than 30 feet in length. 133 The Borough urges the Secretary of Commerce to provide NOAA with federal 134 funding for this program similar to the way in which observer costs are covered in 135 other regions. 136 137 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby 138 instructed to advise Congress and the appropriate agencies of the United States Federal 139 Government of the Capital Improvement Program and priorities adopted by the Kodiak 140 Island Borough Assembly. 141 142 ADOPTED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 143 THIS SIXTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2014 144 145 KODI•KIS''D 'e-OUGH 146 r 147 dr 0 148 /i ' 149 ATTEST: J. rot Frie v Borough ayor 1550 152 153 Nova M.
