power. Feasibility of power generation from this site would require deep drilling to confirm the amount of heat available in the reservoir. It would be possible to helicopter in a drill rig and spend $1-1.5 million to drill a small diameter 3000-4000 foot core hole for characterization purposes. This hole could not be used for production purposes but would be suitable for determining the resource temperature and chemistry. Due to the remoteness of the springs, drilling exploration, production, and injection wells and creating a geothermal power plant would cost upwards of tens of millions of dollars. In addition to these costs, power lines would have to be established from the hot springs to the customer. These power lines can easily cost $500,000 per mile. With approximately 50 miles between the hot springs and Shungnak, the cost could be about 25 million dollars for power lines alone. The third and final issue is that few small geothermal reservoirs of this nature have long operating histories. The feasibility of maintaining power for 20 years and upwards is uncertain. Similar to GM, it would be more feasible if a community were located adjacent to the springs to eliminate power line costs. Lastly, due to the Division hot spring’s location within a federal wildlife refuge, obtaining permits for further exploration would be a major undertaking. 4.1.3 Conclusion Although Division hot springs would not be economical to develop to power Huslia, Shungnak, Kobuk or another town in the region, the study provided a deeper understanding of plutonic geothermal resources on NANA lands. Alternative uses for the hot springs should also be considered. Division hot springs has sufficient hot water to provide heating for a winter greenhouse. 5 gallons per minute at 160°F may be enough without any drilling to provide sufficient heating for such a project. Projects like these would have low impact environmentally and provide a greater use for the springs. Consideration of the cultural value of the springs to the people of Selawik, Shungnak, Ambler , Kobuk and Huslia should be a major consideration for further investigation and development. Division hot springs should be kept in mind as a future alternative energy resource as communities may move closer to the area or as energy prices rise. The costs currently are too high to provide cost effective power to the local populace, however that may change in the future.PDF Image | US Department of Energy Tribal Energy Program
