| Summary: | The goals of the wetland mapping study are to prepare a baseline map of existing wetland habitats in the upper and middle Susitna basin (upstream of Gold Creek) that could be directly affected by Project development, and to determine the functions that each mapped wetland type performs. This mapping information will be used in AEA's license application to assess impacts to wetland resources from the proposed Project, and to develop protection, mitigation, and enhancement measures. The wetland mapping study will provide the baseline information necessary for preparing a wetland permit application for the Project under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The study area consists of a two-mile buffer surrounding areas that would be disturbed by development, including the dam site, the inundation area, supporting infrastructure near the dam site, and alternative road and transmission lines. |
