| Summary: | In order to evaluate potential effects of the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project on brown bears, black bears, and wolves, a study is being conducted with these primary objectives: (1) estimate the current populations of these animals in the study area using existing data from Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF & G); (2) evaluate bear use of streams that support spawning of anadromous fishes in habitats downstream of the proposed dam that may be altered by the Project; (3) describe the seasonal distribution of and habitat use by wolves in the study area using existing data from ADF & G; and (4) synthesize historical and current data on bear movements and seasonal habitat use in the study area including the substantial body of data gathered by radio-tracking during the 1980s. The study area encompasses much of the middle and upper portions of the Susitna River basin as well as the southern portion of the Nenana River basin along the transportation and transmission corridors. This document details Alaska Energy Authority's efforts in implementing the study through September 2015, and is intended to supplement Part A of the Initial Study Report published in June 2014. |
