| Summary: | This documents describes studies to be performed to support the Alaska Energy Authority's license application for the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project. Construction and operation of the project will potentially affect raptor nest habitats and disturb nesting raptors. The study plan objectives presented here are to compile a spatial database for existing information on bald eagle, golden eagle and other raptor nest sites, and their fall and winter communal roost locations; (2) delineate eagle and raptor forest, riparian, and cliff nesting habitat; (3) survey raptor large stick and cliff nest sites in the Project area and determine the current nest activity; and (4) develop recommendations for work windows and avoidance radii for other Project-related field activities to prevent disturbance of all identified nests. |
