The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

a. Application Type: Declaration of Intention.

b. Docket No: DI26-4-000.

c. Date Filed: February 17, 2026.

d. Applicant: Chugach Electric Association, Inc.

e. Name of Project: Caribou Creek Hydropower Project.

f. Location: The proposed Caribou Creek Hydropower Project would be located on Caribou Creek, in the town of Glacier View, in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska. The project would not occupy federal land. All lands associated with the proposed project are owned by the state of Alaska or Cook Inlet Region, Inc.

g. Filed Pursuant to: Section 23(b)(1) of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 817(b)(1).

h. Applicant Contact: Samantha Owen, McMillen, Inc., 1471 Shoreline Drive, Suite 100, Boise, ID 83702; (305) 409-5201; owen@mcmillen.com.

i. FERC Contact: Rebecca Martin, (202) 502-6012, or rebecca.martin@ferc.gov.

j. Deadline for filing comments, protests, and motions to intervene is: April 20, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file comments, protests, and motions to intervene using the Commission's eFiling system at http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/​docs-filing/​ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact information at the end of your comments. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (866) 208-3676 (toll free), or (202) 502-8659 (TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, you may submit a paper copy. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The first page of any filing should include docket number DI26-2-000. Comments emailed to Commission staff are not considered part of the Commission record.

k. Description of Project: The proposed project would consist of a dam (height is undetermined) located on Caribou Creek approximately two miles upstream of its confluence with the Matanuska River. The proposed dam would consist of a concrete-faced rockfill embankment dam, impounding Caribou Creek to a maximum elevation of up to 2,200 feet, forming a reservoir with a maximum surface area of 980 acres. The proposed dam would be built and operated as a storage-based generation facility and create impoundment capacity suitable for capturing and storing large runoff events in the summer and fall. This would provide stable baseload generation during winter months when precipitation occurs as snow and natural inflows are minimal. A 7-foot diameter penstock would extend approximately 500 feet from the dam downhill to the proposed powerhouse. The penstock would convey flow through an elevation drop of approximately 380 feet to the powerhouse site, with a proposed tailrace elevation of 1,780 feet. The powerhouse would contain two Francis-type turbine-generator units with a rated capacity of 8.8 megawatts (MW) each for a total powerhouse capacity of 18 MW. The potential annual energy generation would be 58 gigawatt-hours (GWh). Adjacent to the powerhouse would be a substation with a new high voltage transmission line spanning approximately 1,500 feet to an existing transmission line running alongside Glenn Highway.

When a Declaration of Intention is filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Federal Power Act requires the Commission to investigate and determine if the project would affect the interests of interstate or foreign commerce. The Commission also determines whether or not the project: (1) would be located on a navigable waterway; (2) would occupy public lands or reservations of the United States; (3) would utilize surplus water or water power from a government dam; or (4) would be located on a non-navigable stream over which Congress has Commerce Clause jurisdiction and would be constructed or enlarged after 1935.
