The subterranean tunnel will allow for the passage of additional water to Terror Lake and the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric facilities, which will provide an increase in the annual hydroelectric generation by about 33 gigawatt -hours (GWh) and will contribute to the continued renewable hydropower generation that displaces diesel fuel consumption in the communities of Kodiak. RECITALS: - The existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project, FERC No. 2743 was licensed by FERC in 1981 and amended in 1982, 1986 and 1994. The existing project is located on the Terror and Kizhuyak Rivers in Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska and occupies federal lands located within the Refuge that are administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of Interior and on federal lands administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. The existing facilities include rockfill dams, spillway, reservoir, tunnels, penstock, power and valve houses, turbines, generators, telecommunications equipment, channels, switchyard, electrical transmission lines and access facilities that include a jetty, access road and appurtenant facilities. ROW Penin E-315 KD Lipper Hidden Clasen Dneruon Project (Terror Lake 11)drol Kodiak Electric Association Page 1 of I - On May 26, 2016, KEA, the licensee for the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project No. 2743 filed an application to amend its license for an action that is referred to as the Upper Hidden Basin Diversion (UHBD) project. The amendment application was supplemented on October 6, 2016 and April 1 l , 2017. The UHBD project involves the construction, operation and maintenance of two new diversion dams on the Upper Hidden Basin Creek, an underground water pipeline, and a12 -mile -long underground tunnel to divert additional water into Terror Lake, as well as a 4 -mile -long access road that will extend from the existing road network to the site of the new diversion dams. - The construction of the UHBD facilities will occur mostly on lands owned by the State of Alaska, however, the underground tunnel will occupy an additional 2 -acres of federal land located within the Refuge, which is administered by the Service. - The existing FERC -licensed project boundary occupies federal land administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and by the U.S. Coast Guard. The UHBD project will revise and expand the existing FERC -licensed project boundary by approximately 160 acres. Of the approximate 160 acres, 158 acres of the expanded boundary will extend into State of Alaska owned lands and 2 acres (a segment of the tunnel) of the expanded boundary will extend into Refuge lands. The remaining portion of the underground tunnel will be located on lands owned by the State of Alaska. - The tunnel construction will produce approximately 40,000 cubic yards of spoils that will be placed on a designated 8 -acre site near Terror Lake. The spoils will be spread and graded to simulate natural contours, covered by previously removed topsoil and revegetated with native plant species present in the area. This 8 -acre site is located within the boundaries of the FERC -designated project boundary. A more detailed description of the information contained in the above Recitals can be found in the FERC Order Amending License, Revising Project Description and Annum Charges, and Approving Erhibit L Drawings, issued June 28, 2017, which is attached hereto and incorporated into this permit as Exhibit "A".

Annual Fee: In accordance with I 1 AAC 58.410 and for the purpose of this EA, the annual fee will be $1,000.00, which is due on or before the 11t day of March of every year during the term of this authorization. Payment for the first year of the EA, and any other fees owed, shall be required prior to issuance of the authorization. A late payment penalty of either the fee specified in I 1 AAC 05.010 or interest at the rate set by AS 45.45.010(a), whichever is greater, will be assessed on a past -due account until payment is received by the State. 6. Returned Check Penalty: A returned check fee as provided in 11 AAC 05.010 will be assessed for any check on which the bank refuses payment. Late payment penalties shall continue to accumulate. 7. Failure to Pay: Failure to pay annual fees when due is a default of the terms and conditions of this EA. Failure to cure such a default within the 60 -day period following the receipt of a "Notice of Default" will, at the AO's discretion, result in termination of this authorization. 8. Proper Location: Issuance of this EA is for authorization on State land only and does not authorize any activities on private or other non -State lands. The Lessee is responsible for the accurate location of all preconstruction and construction activities within the authorized area. 9. Survey Monuments: The Lessee shall protect all survey monuments, witness corners, reference monuments, mining claim posts, and bearing trees against damage, destruction, or obliteration. The Lessee shall notify the AO of any damaged, destroyed, or obliterated markers and shall re-establish the markers in accordance with accepted survey practices of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). 10. Survey: The Lessee is responsible for completing an Alaska State Land Survey (ASLS) of the proposed lease site. The survey must be submitted to DMLW's Survey Section for annroval no later than one year after issuance of the survey instructions. Failure to do so will cause the forfeiture of the performance guaranty as outlined in the Penalties stipulation listed below. The survey must properly locate the lease boundaries, all infrastructure, and easements. If the submitted survey is accepted by DMLW, the measurements identified will be used to accurately calculate the total acreage. 11. Appraisal: The Lessee is responsible for obtaining and submitting the required Fair Market Value appraisal for this site. Once the survey has been submitted to DMLW for review, please contact DMLW's Appraisal Unit at (907) 269-8512 to begin the appraisal process. The final appraisal report must be submitted to DMLW for approval no later than February 28, 2021. Should the appraisal indicate that the EA annual fee is less than estimated, those overages will be credited to the lease site's account. Should the report indicate that the value of the land is greater than anticipated, the shortfall must be remedied before the lease will be issued. 12. Performance Guaranty: As per l l AAC 96.060 the following bonds are required: • $30,000.00 EA Cash Bond: This bond will serve as a default penalty to be forfeited, either in whole or in part, by the timeframe established under this EA if the Lessee has not completed all requirements outlined in this authorization. This includes, but is not limited to; survey, appraisal, payment of fees, submittal of required information, or failing to return the signed lease contract. • $500,000.00 Performance Guaranty (Cush, CD, or Surety): This bond shall remain in place throughout the life of this EA and the subsequent lease (if granted) to ensure the Lessee's compliance with the terms and conditions of both authorizations. Should the Lessee fail to abide by the terms of this EA, this bond may be used by the AO to pay for any corrective actions the AO deems necessary. Entry Authorization AUL 232556 Page 2 of 20 o Failure by the Lessee to provide replacement security for a CD or surety upon notice of nonrenewal shall be grounds for the AO to make a claim upon the existing security to protect the State's interests. o The Performance Guaranty amounts are subject to periodic adjustments (every 5 years) and may be adjusted upon approval of any amendments, assignments, modifications to the DP, and as a result of any violations of this authorization. o If a bond is taken as part of a penalty, either whole or in part, that bond must be replenished by the replacement deadline contained within the penalty notification letter. Failure to replace the bond is, at the discretion of the AO, grounds for termination of the EA and possible denial of the subsequent lease. o The EA Cash Bond will be released upon completion of all conditions of the EA, including lease issuance. o The Performance Guaranty will be released upon expiration or closure of the lease provided that all terms and conditions of the lease have been met, including removal of infrastructure and restoration of the area to the satisfaction of the AO. 13.

Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project, FERC License No. 2743 Upper Hidden Basin Diversion - Site Development Plan July 19, 2016 The scope of proposed activities to be conducted within the requested land lease area includes construction, operation and maintenance of a water conveyance system. The purpose of all activity and improvements within this land lease is for Kodiak Electric Association, Inc. (KEA) to supply renewably -generated electricity to the communities of Kodiak. KEA is a rural electric cooperative that provides electricity to approximately 5,900 meters on Kodiak Island, Alaska in a service area that includes the region in and around the City of Kodiak, the US Coast Guard Base, Bells Flats, Chiniak, Pasagshak, and Port Lions. KEA is a not-for-profit 501(c)(12) cooperative organized under AS 10.25 for the purpose of supplying electric energy and power to its members, and qualifies for a non-competitive lease under AS 38.05.810(f). Hydropower generated by the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project is KEA's primary energy source. Enhancing water availability to Terror Lake with a new water diversion allows KEA's future electrical load growth to be continually powered with renewable energy. The proposed Upper Hidden Basin Diversion (UHBD) would supplement the available energy resources for the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project by conveying water from the upper reaches of the Hidden Basin watershed to the existing Terror Lake reservoir. Once the supplementary water from the UHBD flows into the Terror Lake reservoir, more renewable hydropower can be generated from the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project and fed directly into the KEA grid. KEA's existing powerhouse and electrical grid infrastructure is able to deliver the additional power to the Kodiak community without any modifications. The existing Terror Lake reservoir is located in the remote north central area of Kodiak Island, approximately 30 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak. The proposed UHBD project area is located east of the Terror Lake reservoir on the other side of a mountain ridge. This mountain ridge between Terror Lake and the Upper Hidden Basin watershed serves as the boundary for Federal and State land. The Terror Lake reservoir is on Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge lands, and the proposed diversion project is on State lands. Public use of the area is extremely minimal. Attached is a conceptual layout of the proposed UHBD. It is a basic, non-mechanical conveyance of water, with spur road accessibility. Site development would consists of 4 miles of a pioneer gravel road connecting the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project access road to two small dam embankments. The eastern dam embankment (D -East) would convey water to the western dam embankment (D -West) through a buried 0.4 mile pipe. From the D -West location, the water would be conveyed to the existing Terror Lake reservoir through a 1.2 mile subterranean tunnel running underneath the mountain ridge. Entry Authorization Attachment A - Development Plan ADL 232556 Page 9 of 20 Attachment A Development Plan The majority of the proposed UHBD area is located on lands owned by the State of Alaska, managed by the DNR. Approximately 140 acres would encompass a new access road that would connect the existing Project access road to the proposed UHBD site for construction, and subsequent inspection and maintenance. Approximately 15 acres would encompass the two diversion dam structures, and approximately five acres would encompass a subterranean tunnel that would connect the UHBD dams to the federal land boundary. The access road, conveyance pipe, and tunnel will be authorized under DNR easement ADL 232213, and the two diversion dam structures will be authorized under a separate DNR land lease. As requested by DNR staff, KEA herein files the land lease application accordingly. The D -West site is located at 57° 35'48" North, 153' 00' 44" West. The D -East site is located at 57° 35' 36" North, 152' 59' 56" West. The UHBD straddles the edges of USGS Quadrangle Maps Kodiak C-3 and C-4. A merged version of both USGS maps (scale of 1: 1:63,360) is provided to show the D -West and D -East sites. The exact size and location of the land lease parcels are approximate at this stage of project development. Attached are photographs of the proposed land lease area. This mountainous terrain is typically inundated with snow from October to June. Ground cover ranges from bare bedrock and unconsolidated colluvium to palustrine emergent wetlands and scrub shrub. There are no trees in this upland, alpine area. Access to this remote site is currently provided by helicopter, or by backcountry hiking from the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project access road. The existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project access road is a remote roadway used exclusively for KEA's official use for the operation and maintenance of the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project, and it is accessible only by floatplane, boat, or helicopter. Attached is a photograph of the existing Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project access road and the area where the new diversion access road would be sited under requested easement ADL 232213. This project is currently in the development phase. To assess the quantity of water available for diversion, KEA is collecting stream gauging data in this watershed as authorized by Land Use Permit LAS 29042, and is collecting geological information at the D -West and D -East sites as authorized by Land Use Permit LAS 30964. The temporary water use permit for the construction of UHBD under TWUA J2016-01 is secured. Water rights for the as -built operation of UHBD have been assigned water rights appropriation LAS 30459. The final engineering design for the temporary and permanent structures, the exact construction methods, and defined inventory of construction equipment needed to build the road, diversion dams, conveyance pipe and tunnel are not yet determined. It is KEA's intent to finalize the engineering design in 2017, initiate construction of the diversion dams in 2018, and operate the new diversion by 2020. The as -built UHBD will not generate, use, store, transport, dispose of or otherwise come in contact with toxic and/or hazardous materials. The as -built diversion will not involve any storage tanks, either above or below ground. There would be no machinery left on site when construction activities are complete. Entry Authorization Attachment A - Development Plan ADL 232556 Page 10 of 20 Attachment A Development Plan The Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project is a federally licensed hydropower facility as Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project No. 2743. Adding the UHBD to the Terror Lake Hydroelectric Project requires a FERC License Amendment, which is a formal process of coordinated multi -agency consultation and public scoping. Through this multi-year FERC License Amendment process, KEA has been working with stakeholders to develop project - specific plans and measures that minimize potential impacts. The final FERC License Amendment Application was filed on May 26, 2016.
