21.0 Background ‘In 2008 NANA Pacific embarked on a study of potential renewable resources in the NANA region surrounding the town of Kotzebue, Alaska. As part of this effort, a report titled ‘NANA Geothermal Assessment Project (GAP) Results of Phase 1: Site Identification’ was completed by Amanda Kolker with assistance from Brian Yanity, and presented to the NANA Geothermal Working Group in January, 2009. The GAP report identified and briefly described and discussed geothermal systems and 7 thermal springs within the NANA region; Serpentine, Lava Creek, Granite Mountain, Hawk, South, Division, and Reed River Hot Springs. The relatively well known Pilgrim Hot Springs are located west of the NANA region and were not considered in the GAP Report. Reported surface temperatures of these thermal springs ranged from 109 oF at Hawk to 167 oF at Serpentine. Reported flow rates ranged from 40 gallons per minute (gpm) at Reed River Hot Springs to about 500 gpm at Division Hot Springs. None of these thermal springs are closely associated with active volcanoes so it is recognized that all of these geothermal resources most likely have subsurface temperatures less than 300 oF and therefore are not large in terms of potential megawatt capacity. All of the seven known thermal springs within the NANA region are more than 40 miles from NANA region communities. Although it is possible that most or all of the known thermal springs in the NANA region might be theoretically capable of supporting direct use or small scale power generation projects like the one installed at Chena Hot Springs in 2006, the Granite Mountain Hot Spring, along with Division Hot Springs were identified in the GAP Report as being the two most attractive hot spring sites for additional geothermal exploration effort.’1 The Alaska Center for Energy and Power conducted a reconnaissance study of Granite Mountain hot springs in the fall of 2009 as part of NANA’s GAP project. The possible electrical production capacity of the springs was determined to be less than adequate to provide power to any nearby village or town at a reasonable price. In the spring of 2010, WHPacific geologist Steve Buckley, ACEP/UAF geology student Peter Illig and WH Pacific Engineer Matt Bergan conducted a similar study of Division hot springs south of the villages of Shungnak and Kobuk and located within the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge. The goal was to gather baseline physical data on the Division hot springs and determine the potential for geothermal power production that could aid the rising energy costs of the surrounding communities. 2.0 Proposed Work Plan As a continuation of the GAP study, ACEP proposed performing geochemistry, temperature measurements and basic geologic mapping of the Division hot springs area. In addition, shallow temperature probes would be drilled to establish an area affected by the thermal anomaly. With the hot springs located within the Division Wildlife Refuge, a special use permit was obtained from the Refuge administration in Kotzebue, which included approval of the logistical plan and site work plan.
