WATER-POWER PROJECTS IN ALASKA 



From time to time applications for permits for water-power projects 

 in Alaska are referred to the bureau by the Federal Power Commission 

 for report as to whether the project, if developed, would be seriously 

 detrimental to the fishing interests. Five such applications were 

 given attention by the bureau in 1930. One of these, received in De- 

 cember, 1929, pertained to a proposed water-power development on 

 Lost Creek and Upper and Lower Lost Lakes, which lakes lie about 

 11 miles north of Seward at an elevation of about 1,500 feet above sea 

 level. An investigation was made by a bureau representative, who 

 reported that Lost Creek, which is the only outlet of Upper and Lower 

 Lost Lakes, is very abrupt and swift and is not a salmon stream. 

 Accordingly, the commission was advised that as far as the fisheries 

 were concerned the bureau could see no objection to the utilization 

 of the waters for power development. 



The other four applications were for water-power projects in south- 

 eastern Alaska at the following places: (1) Dorothy Lake, tributary 

 to Taku Inlet; (2) Long and Crater Lakes, tributary to Port Snetti- 

 sham; (3) Lake Perseverance, in the vicinity of Ketchikan; and (4) 

 Mirror, Ella, Manzanita, Swan, Grace, and Orchard Lakes and their 

 outlets, on Revillagigedo Island. Due investigations were made by 

 bureau employees in connection with each application, and upon the 

 basis of reports submitted the commission was notified that the bureau 

 had no objection to the granting of the desired permits, provided 

 that in the outlet to Grace Lake and in Fish Creek, tributary to 

 Mirror Lake, the licensees would agree to maintain a suitable water 

 flow during the salmon-spawning season in order to prevent impair- 

 ment of the salmon resources because of insufficient water supply on 

 the spawning grounds. 



BRISTOL BAY DISTRICT 



Work of the bureau at Bristol Bay was carried on as usual, consisting 

 of the enforcement of the fishery laws and regulations, observations 

 of the salmon runs and escapement to the spawning grounds, the 

 construction and operation of salmon-counting weirs, and the repair 

 and betterment of quarters and equipment required for the effective 

 administration of those duties. Agent Dennis Winn organized the
