ADOT&PF states the project purpose is to provide year-round surface transportation access on Kupreanof Island between the community of Kake and a new boat launch on the eastern shore of Kupreanof lsland for the public to access lands along the route and to create an additional access point to navigable waters on Frederick Sound. Work being proposed would result in the discharge of approximately 101,000 cubic yards of fill material into a total of 14.55 acres of wetlands and other Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS). The proposed discharges are associated with the construction of the roadway embankments, stream crossings, and the boat launch.
