Joseph Lyman, Turnagain Marine Construction; stated the purpose is to construct two cruise ship berths on Douglas Island that can safely accommodate a class of increasingly larger cruise ships docking in Southeast Alaska. The proposed development also includes the onshore visitor attraction development and associated infrastructure necessary to support the cruise ship operations. PROPOSED WORK: The project would involve both onshore placement of fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands to construct visitor attractions and offshore construction of moorage facilities and utilities in navigable waters. Work and placement of dredged and/or fill material below the high tide line (approximate elevation +20.6 feet above the 0.0 foot contour) (HTL) includes the installation of steel pilings below the Mean High Water Mark (approximate elevation +15.3 feet above the 0.0 foot contour) (MHW) to support two pile supported cruise ship berths, multi-use harbor, concrete boat launch and dock, and tour boat return dock, including waste water outfall and water intake structures. This project is a multi-phase project expected to last no more than 2 years for offshore development and no more than 5 years for onshore development.
