Golden Valley Electric Association

August 28, 2024

Subject to AS 38.05.850, the Northern Regional Land Office has received an application for the following:

APPLICANT: Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA)

PROJECT NAME: ADL 422394 Public Utility Easement

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: within the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area, south Fairbanks

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Section 27 and 28, Township 1 South, Range 1 West, Fairbanks Meridian

REQUESTED ACTIVITY: The Division of Mining, Land, and Water (DMLW), Northern Regional Land Office has received an application from GVEA for a public utility easement for the extension of power into the Tanana Lakes Recreation Area (TLRA) on state land leased to the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The powerline will be an aerial line on poles. Seven poles will be installed within the TLRA. The proposed public utility easement would be approximately 1,680 feet in length and 30 feet in width.

The new line power being constructed is approximately 3,101 feet in length, but only the south portion of the powerline, approximately 1,680 feet, is on state land within the TLRA. For the portion of the powerline north of the TLRA, where it is within a section line easement on non-state land, DMLW is providing a non-objection.

REQUESTED TERM: GVEA has requested the term of the easement be in perpetuity as is standard for public utility easements issued by DMLW.
