The Municipality of Anchorage, Port of Alaska, 2000 Anchorage Port Road, Anchorage, Alaska 99501, States that the project purpose is to excavate silt that has accumulated over the course of the winter so that the Port of Alaska can install floating docks to ensure boaters may have safe moorage after launching their small boats. The purpose for dredging also is to ensure that all boaters can launch and retrieve their vessels at various stages of the tides. Work being proposed includes: To dredge and discharge fill material into Knik Arm, at the Anchorage Ship Creek Small Boat Launch Facility. Such activities include annual dredging using a bulldozer, to remove approximately 4,800 cubic yards of sediment from a previously authorized dredge area of 0.37-acre and a new 0.32-acre area south of the launch. Dredging is required to remove accumulated sediment from the south/north boat launch ramps and the area adjacent to the sheetpile dock. Dredged material would be disposed of by pushing it seaward with the bulldozer into a 150-foot-wide x 420-foot- long (1.45 acre) area west of the boat launch. All work would occur below mean high water and would occur during the spring minus tides. The dredging would take place annually between April and June. The project site is located within Knik Arm, Section 12, T. 13 N., R. 4 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Anchorage A-8; Latitude 61.2254º N., Longitude -149.9065º W.; in Anchorage, Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska.
