The City and Borough of Juneau stated the purpose is to repair and update the Wayside Park float toallow for continued use of the site. The float is only occasionally used for vessel mooring, and is primarily used as a recreational and sport fishing access float. The float has been in service for about 24 years, and has encountered some damage to several structural components. PROPOSED WORK: The project involves dredging 5,520 cubic yards of marine sediment from 0.63 acres below the mean high water mark (approximate elevation +15.3 feet above the 0.0 foot contour) at the existing float location as well as making several repairs to the existing float. To accomplish this, the float would be temporarily removed, and the gangway rested on a temporary cap between landing float piles. Dredging would be done using an excavator or clamshell bucket from a barge, and the dredged material would be temporarily stored on barge and disposed of at an approved location within Gastineau Channel.
