Alaska Department of
Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF), Brett Nelson’s stated
purpose is to upgrade the runway, taxiway, apron and safety areas to meet
current Federal Aviation Administration safety guidelines for the aircraft
using the airport. Additional improvements needed at the airport to enhance
safety and accessibility include expansion of the apron operational surface and
aviation support area, and repair and realignment of the existing airport access
road. The project site is located at the
St. Michael Airport, which is approximately two miles west of the community of
St. Michael, Alaska, at Latitude 63.487º N., Longitude 162.114º W. The proposed work would expand the St.
Michael Airport by placing approximately 140,000 cubic yards of fill material
into approximately 10.98 acres of tundra palustrine wetlands. The proposed project would use fill material from
the Halfway Mountain material site, which is approximately three miles to the
Northwest of the airport. The proposed
project would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-8), dated April 20, 2016. Please contact Jeremy Grauf at (907) 753-2798, toll free from within
