Jason Davis stated the purpose is to replace the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) Passenger Dock so that it can safely accommodate cruise ships. PROPOSED WORK : The applicant proposes to remove the existing passenger terminal building (26,555 square feet), the existing dock fenders, one thousand eight hundred and twenty (1,820) 14-inch diameter steel piles, ten (10) 20-inch diameter steel piles, the entire existing concrete deck, portions of the concrete pile caps, and approximately 500 cubic yards of riprap obstructions. Any navigation obstructions within 120 feet of the proposed dock area would be removed, as well as approximately 183,000 cubic yards of silt, sand, and gravel sediments (dredge) in the area along the existing dock. The dredged sediment would be removed with a crane-barge-based 5 cubic yard bucket. Dredged materials would be disposed of either at an upland location within the existing cleared and filled area on the ARRC property, or at an approved offshore location. The proposed offshore disposal location is shown on Sheet 9 in the attached plans. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-9), dated June 5, 2024, September 13, 2024, and September 26, 2024. Construction is proposed to take place from September 2025 to April 2026.
