The stated study area includes communities in the Denali Borough and Matanuska-Susitna Borough that are located in relatively close proximity to the components of the Project such as the dam and powerhouse, impoundment area, or road and transmission line corridors. However, it actually includes Matanuska-Susitna Borough (and the communities Chase, Houston, Point Mackenzie, Talkeetna, Trapper Creek, and Wasilla), Denali Borough (and the community Cantwell), Fairbanks North Star Borough (and the town Fairbanks), Municipality of Anchorage, and Kenai Peninsula Borough (and the towns Seward and Whittier). Data for the state of Alaska are used for comparison.
