Joseph M. Smith's (Salmon Creek Development) stated purpose is to deepen the entrance channel and dock face at the Salmon Creek barge facility. The project site is located within Section 9 and 16, T. 41 S., R. 67 E., Copper River Meridian; USGS Quad Map Juneau B-2; Latitude 58.325032º N., Longitude 134.470568º W.; within Gastineau Channel, in Juneau, Alaska. PROPOSED WORK: The applicant requests authorization for the following work in and over navigable waters of the United States: Dredge 55,000 cubic yards of marine sediment from 6.5 acres below the mean high water mark (approximate elevation +15.4 feet above the 0.0 foot contour) in Gastineau Channel at the Salmon Creek barge facility to deepen the dock face and entrance channel for the navigation of deep draft barges. The applicant is proposing to perform the dredging using conventional clamshell dredging techniques to a proposed depth of -15 to -20 feet MLLW. Dredge material would be deposited in a center-dump barge, with return flow, for transport to the disposal site. Disposal of the dredged material is proposed through the discharge over 7.5 acres of the seafloor at a location approximately 0.6 miles southeast of the proposed dredging site at Latitude 58.318396º N., Longitude 134.460761º W. within Gastineau Channel.

The solid fill portion of the dock would be constructed in lifts by wrapping rock and dredged material in geotextile fabric. The face of the geotextile wrapped fill would be protected by a timber bulkhead wall. The timber bulkhead wall would be installed through excavation rather than pile driving. The foot of the bulkhead would be protected with dredged rip rap, supplemented with new riprap. Please contact Katherine A.

The revised proposed project’s purpose, as stated by the applicant, is to expand the Airfield Maintenance (AFM) Storage Yard to provide additional storage capacity for dry goods, material, and equipment that AFM uses to maintain both the LHD and international airport. A secondary benefit would be to provide the base for future additional aircraft parking, as shown in the LHD Master Plan. Future projects, including runway and taxiway reconstruction projects, will generate a significant amount of usable material, including gravel and recycled asphalt (RAP) that is a good resource for both AFM and future construction projects. These materials would be stored on the proposed expanded pad. The ADOT&PF will submit a new alternatives analysis, as the listed alternatives in the original public notice were evaluated with the previous project purpose in mind. All other information contained in the previous notice remains the same. The project site is located within Section 27, T. 13 N., R. 4 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Anchorage A 8; Latitude 61.1866º N., Longitude 149.9818º W.; west of Helio Place, and south of Lake Hood Drive; in Anchorage, Alaska.
