Sealaska Timber Corporation's stated purpose is to complete intended commercial timber harvest on corporate-owned private lands. Placement of a drive-down ramp between the High Tide Line (HTL) and a minus 4-foot tide for transferring log bundles from uplands to the waters of Keete Inlet. A 70-foot by 5-foot wooden ramp from the drive-down ramp to a 30-foot by 30-foot service float secured by four 1-ton concrete anchors. Placement of log standing booms in the water secured by concrete anchors and wire rope shore-ties in three different locations. One area is for building log rafts as the log bundles are placed into the water at the log transfer facility (LTF). The other two areas are designated for storage of commercial log rafts. To provide efficient access to and from the uplands from Keete Inlet, a log float and walkway are to be installed as well. The proposed project requires up to 0.18-acre of intertidal fill. Up to 1000 cubic yards of shot rock would be placed into 0.15-acre for construction of the drive-down ramp, and up to 165 cubic yards of fill would be placed into 0.03-acre for construction of the walkway bulkhead. Additionally, up to 240 cubic yards of rip rap would be placed adjacent to the shot rock ramp. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-8), dated July 1st, 2016.
