The Kenai River is beloved by many and widely known to be one of the most productive salmon rivers in the world. The area is also rich in wildlife, recreational opportunities, and a unique way of life.
The costs of losing fish habitat in one of Alaska’s favorite and most productive local watersheds is too high of a price to pay for the insignificant amount of power which will be generated as a result of this project. The Kenai River system supports 34 species of anadromous and resident fish.
For these reasons I oppose any dams and/or roads on Grant Lake and Falls Creek or any other tributary of the Kenai River. I support the NO ACTION ALTERNATIVE which would prevent a hydropower license from being issued for the proposed Grant Lake hydroelectric project.

I am currently organizing the data from our petition to present to the Homer Electric Association board during the next public comment period. We are now drafting a formal letter that breaks down the ecological risks to Grant Lake so the utility cannot ignore our specific concerns about salmon habitat.

The scale of this response confirms the project is now a priority for local oversight committees. I have requested a formal meeting with the board to present this collective opposition before their next phase of development.

Keep our rivers wild. We have enough power projects ruining perfectly good fishing spots already.
My kids grow up fishing these waters. Dont destroy the habitat for them.
Total nonsense. The environmental impact isnt worth it.
Leave Grant Lake alone. Some things are worth more than electricity.
PLEASE leave the Kenai alone. Its one of the only places left that actually feels like real alaska. dont ruin it for a few extra lightbulbs.

Stop the damming. The salmon need that water more than the electric company needs a new project.
