, Lorraine.vercessi@alaska.gov states that the project purpose is to replace the Main Bay Hatchery Dock because the current floating dock system and aluminum gangway are located such that moored vessels ground during low tide cycles; the gangway rests on dunnage and is chained to a concrete block with no secured connection to a foundation or dock. Work being proposed includes: To construct a new 80-foot x 6-foot gangway, a 150-foot x 30-foot floating dock, and a concrete foundation consisting of a concrete retaining wall and a concrete abutment, which would to replace an existing damaged dock and old steel piling foundation. The concrete retaining wall would be constructed using 4-foot x 2-foot x 2-foot concrete blocks placed along the gangway’s approach and the opening would be backfilled with clean compacted fill to finished landing elevation (approximately +17 feet). Salvaged riprap would be placed around the base of the new concrete abutment for erosion protection.
