Chase Voters Against Dam

Voters at the Chase Community Council’s annual meeting voted unanimously in opposition to the construction of the Susitna Watana Dam. Chase is the first community downriver of the proposed 700 foot dam, and voters were asked if they were in favor of, or opposed to the construction of the dam. The vote was unanimous in opposition.

The Alaska Energy Authority filed the Pre-Application Document to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on December 29^th, and is currently preparing to report to the Alaska State Legislature’s 2012 session.

Also at the Chase Community Council meeting, which took place at the Roadhouse on Thursday night, two new board members were elected to the Community Council: Johnny Murdock and Kip Boers.
