Matt Holmstrom, City of Kodiak, stated the purpose is to renovate the existing St. Paul Harbor boat launch ramp to prolong its usable lifespan and provide continued access for the public. PROPOSED WORK: The existing launch ramp, including the ramp planks, foundation, abutment, floats, and anchor piles will be demolished. Construction activities will include a new reconstructed launch ramp that will be rotated 10 degrees northwest of the existing ramp orientation; this will reduce excavation near the toe of the new ramp and mitigate the need for future maintenance. A new pile-supported fish cleaning station platform structure will also be provided as part of the proposed project. The waste chute will be connected to a floating “humpy dumpster” sealed and enclosed waste container, which can be removed and transported to deeper waters outside of the harbor for disposal in accordance with federal, state, and local laws. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-6), dated December 11, 2024. Please contact Matthew Brody at (907) 201-5023, or by email at Matthew.T.Brody@usace.army.mil if further information is desired concerning this public notice.
