Michael Pountney, Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium, stated the purpose is to construct temporary housing for out-of-town patients and medical providers. Juneau has a housing and lodging shortage, and the project would provide housing for patients traveling from remote locations to Juneau for medical care, as well as relief to the current housing market. PROPOSED WORK: The Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) is proposing to discharge 1,525 cubic yards of fill material into 0.58 acre of wetlands on the vacant hillside of its medical campus in Juneau, Alaska. The purpose of the proposed discharge is to construct necessary supporting infrastructure, including a 12-unit housing facility, an associated parking lot, and a 26-foot-wide access road designed to connect the new housing to the main campus facilities. The project's entire footprint including uplands encompasses 0.89 acre, requiring mechanized land clearing, vegetation removal, and grubbing. All work would be in accordance with the enclosed plan (Sheets 1-4), dated August and September 2025.
