Plan of study presenting a program of activities for project feasibility analysis of hydroelectric development in the upper Susitna River basin in Alaska. Each activity is described along with a cost estimate for its completion.

This Proposed Study Plan (PSP) contains a total of 58 individual study plans that have been prepared in consultation with licensing participants. The study plans are organized by corresponding natural resource topical areas and contained within each respective resource section of the PSP. For each proposed study within a resource area, the PSP provides all information specified under FERC's Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) requirements (18 CFR 5.11) along with additional information about the proposed study including specific documentation of consultation relevant to the study plan development.

This engineering feasibility report for the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project has been prepared to support the licensing process. It provides the basis for required license application exhibits, most notably the Supporting Design Report, Exhibit F, which must be filed concurrently with the FERC license application. This report incorporates results of studies conducted between February 2011 and December 2014.

This document provides the Alaska Energy Authority's (AEA) Revised Study Plan (RSP) for original licensing of the proposed Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project no. 14241. This RSP is required under FERC's Integrated Licensing Process (ILP) regulations, 18 CFR Section 5.13, and includes a set of 58 individual study plans to support the licensing of the Project. This RSP builds upon the study plans in the Proposed Study Plan (PSP), and has been prepared through extensive consultation with federal and state resource agencies, Alaska Native entities, nongovernmental organizations, members of the public, and other licensing participants.
