                     The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
                   referred the bill (S. 267) to provide for the correction of a survey

                                              PURPOSE
                     The purpose of S. 267 is to provide for the correction of a survey
                   of certain Federal land within the boundaries of the Swan Lake
                   Hydroelectric Project in the State of Alaska.
                                       BACKGROUND AND NEED
                     The Swan Lake Hydroelectric project (Project No. 2911) origi-
                   nally consisted of a 174-foot high, 430-foot long dam on Swan Lake,
                   located 22 air miles northeast of Ketchikan, Alaska. The project in-
                   cluded a 2,200-foot power tunnel and was able to produce 22
                   megawatts of electricity for the City of Ketchikan and surrounding
                   areas. It was funded by the State of Alaska in 1980 and completed
                   and placed in service in June 1984.
                     In the 1980s, the State of Alaska sought to select for transfer to
                   the State pursuant to the Alaska Statehood Act (Public Law 85-
                   508) all of the land underneath the existing reservoir and the lands
                   that would be flooded by a future expansion of the reservoir, in the
                   event that the height of the dam was ever raised. A 15-foot in-
