Technical and Socio-Economic Analysis of the Geothermal Resource In January 2009, a report titled NANA Geothermal Assessment Project (GAP) Results of Phase 1: Site Identification was completed by Amanda Kolker with assistance from Brian Yanity (see Appendix A). This report briefly discussed seven hot springs in or near the NANA region: Serpentine, Lava Creek, Granite Mountain, Hawk, South, Division and Reed River hot springs. All seven of these hot springs are located more than 40 miles from the nearest community. A pre-feasibility reconnaissance screening during Phase 1 of the GAP concluded that geothermal energy potential should be further evaluated at only two of the seven sites: Granite Mountain and Division hot springs. These two sites were chosen as more attractive sites for additional geothermal exploration effort due to their relative proximity to communities as compared to the other hot springs. At the time of this report, Kotzebue has been ruled out as a site for the use of geothermal energy. Gwen Holdmann and Kenji Yoshikawa of the Alaska Center for Energy and Power, University of Alaska Fairbanks, (see Appendix A) determined that it is almost impossible for a significant geothermal energy resource to exist beneath the city of Kotzebue. Holdmann and Yoshikawa reviewed the evidence for the claim that geothermal fluids, either in the form of hot water or steam, was encountered in Kotzebue at a depth of about 300 feet during the drilling of a well. WHPacific concurs with the findings of this paper, and recommends that no further resources be expended on geothermal energy exploration in the vicinity of Kotzebue. Investigation of a Kotzebue subsurface heat source would require a deep, and therefore expensive drilling effort that would have low potential for finding usable geothermal fluids or heat. Natural gas exploration in the Kotzebue vicinity by NANA Regional Corporation will be able to provide data on subsurface temperatures and indicate whether a geothermal heat source may be present, if an effort is made to acquire temperature logs and water samples from the wells. Present exploration plans call for the nearest drilling to be approximately 15 miles southeast of Kotzebue on the Baldwin Peninsula. Natural gas exploration drilling is planned for the 2012 to 2015 timeframe. The studies so far on geothermal resources in or near the NANA region concluded it would be un- economic to serve NANA region communities with geothermal electric power generation at either Granite Mountain or at Division hot springs. The only practical option for further development of these resources might be direct use on-site facilities. Enhancement of existing recreational use of the region’s hot springs, including ecotourism, is also possible. Greenhouse agriculture, heated and powered by a combined geothermal heat-and-power system, is another possible on-site use for the hot springs. Such a project would have goal of growing fresh produce for communities in the region, and could employ several people on site. Granite Mountain Hot Springs: Granite Mountain hot springs, shown below in Figure 3, is located on Alaska Department of Natural Resources land about 40 miles south of Buckland (at coordinates 65°22'8.63"N, 161°15'25.56"W), within the region of the Bering Straits Native Corporation. In September 2009, a three-day Granite Mountain site visit was conducted by Dick Benoit and Peter Illig of the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP), based at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Six water samples collected on site were analyzed by the Desert Research Institute in Nevada, and twenty two (22) shallow hole temperature measurements were made around the hot springs site, at depths ranging between 18 to 36 inches.
