Mr. lion Wilbur reported on the status of the Small Boat harbor Project and the Removal of Rocks from the mouth of the River: A draft of the report,made as a result of their visit here in February and of the report submitted by the City, is ready for review by the Dist. Enpr. From there it will go to Portland, Ore. and then to Washington. New regulations re- wire the government agency involved to assume the cost of construction, but due to the excessive hardship placed on the City, Mr. Wilbur is of the opinion a deviation from this rule can be obtained. The sites originally considered for a Small Boat harbor were: 1. North of PAF--too expensive to construct and maintain. 2. Between the Army Dock and Kenai Packers --too small and too susceptible to schoaling. 3. At the mouth of the River behind the barrier beach --entrance channel would he too exposed. i. Mouth of the River ' and outside of the barrier beach --finally chosed. The Harbor will be 7 acres in area, have ` an "V' shaped breakwater with another breakwater forming a 50' entrance -way. Cost of the project is estimated at $1,000,000.00. 'Mooring and berthing space is the responsibility of the State. This should accomodato 200 boats with possibility of expansion to allow 300 to ` 350 boats. Tt will be so constructed as to have R' of water at all times. i r The Corps of Engrs. is also authorized to construct recreation facilities; picnic grounds, boat launching ramp, fireplaces, etc. using IUUo Federal Funds. The Boulder removal project is being given a priority over the above two Plans. It should cost about $200,000; will be acted on immediately if approved by Portland and the Chief of F.ngrs. in Washington. It is a favorable project and will be on the way to Portland by mid -July. s ' The City will be responsible for dredging and mtce. of the boat harbor. The Corps of Engrs.
