1'he Kenai River is navigable and Mas been added in the stages described above.
The Carps' j uri ~di cti on ncaw goes to the termi nat~ an of I~ena i Lake. Many bel i eve
t~i s~ct ~as i nstigated i n 1918 ~ but the fou'nda~i o~ fvr i t dates from the Wetl ands Act
af 1915; the Corps simply ~a~ on~y just begun to act on this au~hority, Mr 6oardman added.
In answer~ ta the rhetor~cai questi~n of what work can be performed, Mr Boardman
outlined same of the various agencies and their areas of conc~rn as weil as
what tne C~rps itseif exami~es. The Corps has jurisdictlon ~o revTew work
cav~r~ng a~yriad o~ safety, econamics, w~ldlife, wa~~r quality and so or~,factors, a
full 1$ ~ac~ars. Th~ Corps revi~ws proposals, but r~ust ask ather agencies and
individuals whet~er or not the work is in the public interest. The
Corps mus~ make public notices for 30 days with t~e Environrnental Protection
~gency, US Fish and ~1ild~ife, plus var~ous State ag~ncies. Th~ C1ean
4~ater Act is an EPA Ac~ with vniy Section 404, a~ outl~ined above, inWOlving
the Secretary of the Army and, as a consequence, ~he Army ~orp~ of Engineers.
The o~~er a~~~encies can veto a proposal also, far instanc~, the EPA is the
single au~hority in fill mater~al.
From the I~enai Riv~r mouth ta the br~dge, there are many, many ager~c~es who are
doub~y concerned, a1 ong with the publ i c, Mr Baa~^d~nan sai d, to see whether or not
~~ that partic~~ar work wi]1 hurt the ~isheries. The first 1.~ miles are very
praductiv~. fihe Cvrps has its 18 fact~ars, and then notifies the adjacent propert~
owners concerning the develapment to try to determine if t~e negat~ve ~ffects of
devel c~pmen~ wi l 1 averri de the posi ~~ ve. - Many other agenc~ es ~a .~ .~a n~n~ e~~ tv~_thi nk th~t a~ ~

QUESTIQNS/ANSI~ERS/CQMi'~ENT~
~The.Commiss~oners and the audience asked questi~ns of Mr 8oardman and made
the fol l owi ng cvmrnent~ f
Mr Wa 1 do Co,~l e s~~ted that no f i s~ spawned -i n the f i rst 12 ~m~ 1 es of the ri ver; only
., hool ~ gan sp~wn ~ r~ that are~. The mud come~~ i r~ f rom the i nl et, not dowr~ from the
rivers and there are no critica1 fish habita~s in the fiirst six miles of the river.
Ci ty Nlanager I~i se asked i f the satura~ti on of the mouth of the ri ver by bvats had
been prajected, l~r Boardma~ re~ponded, s~ying that he did not think ther~ had yet
been a study dane on this. The silt and erosion ~af the rive~ banks really makes
the channel chdnge rapid~y,
Mr~~ Ruby Coy1 e n~oted th~ r~ecess~~y ~ of~~ the baats:: ha~~ng _ t~. :l~ower. al ~ their gear
in order to pass u~der the bridge, The original p1ans the ~orps had showed

-~ Mr ~ili Breck, financial consultant for K~nai Harbor Development, asked that the
Corps cor~nent on the permitslplans Kenai Harbor Deve1opment is processing with
the Cor~s. ~lr Breck stated that th~s corporation was p~anning a 426 boat stall
harbor with an entrance so placed that it would large1y be self cleaning. There
will be space w~thin the harbor for processing plan~s, repair shops, harbormaster
~and recreatianal use~. TMe dock wi11 be sol~d fill, using same of the soil, which

Mr ~~:~ Freebrack asked how invo~ved and wide~pread wa~ the Corps' authority
~ conc~rning public safety, not~nq the char~ges in t~e river Ghannel since the
~arthquake have cause.d~.wso~~~ vessels that are anchored in the river to ~
get crosswise in the channel when the tide ~han~es, making it impossible or
extremely difficult far other rressels to navigate. This situation, r~r Freebrock
emphasized, is dangerous.
Mr Mayberry acknow~edged the dangers of this prob~ems, stating that the Coast
Guard had not earlier known of the depth of the probl~m. The Guard, Mr Mayberry
added, wi11 be in touch with Commissioner Peterkin to keep him a~reast af their
- pragress with ~h~ prablem and to keep themselv~s aware of their success in f~nding
a solution ~o it.
Mr Martin cantinued fvr the Caast Guard stating ~hat all enfvrcer~~nt of regulatory
work wi11 cvme from An~horage and that anly six p~ople are curren~ly engaged
~ with the guard for t~e entirity c~f the State t.o;do aIl of the ~atralling for

~ At this aoir~t in t~e meeting, ~I~e questions/comments~repli~s were asked of
.
both the Cor~s and` the Coast Guard as tf~ey hap~ened to arise from t~e Commission.
Commissioner ~agoner asked whose responsib~iity it would be if th~ river w~re to
~ b~gzn deteriorating after the Kenai Narbor Development praject was begun.
. - The Corps toa~,~th~~~ ~~~e~~i~n~ ~~s~~~~bi~fg'~~i~at~'the ~~~~~1'o~~rig~ i~~~~l~d: ~gpne~a t ~~ ~hap~er~
~
~1~ Was th~ occurrence percipitate:d ~y the project, would b~ the questian ~sked.
2) If the occu~rence was, then the Cor~s would require the permittee to madify
~. the structure to alleviate the ~roble~. Thi~ would proba~ly be dane at the

- Corr~i 5s i oner ~~agpner then questi on~d as to whether or nat the ~roj ects ~rere ~~~~fi~r~y.,1 +.;1
taken through the Corps Engineerino Department when under study by the Corps.
Mr Boardman replied ~o the negative, statin~ this was only done if sor~ething
`~ appeared durir~g the notification hea~^ings or if something would appear grossly .
- or obviously wrong with the ca~ua1 scrutin~r that was standar~d. The Corps is
a government agency and cannot spend its ~ir~e ar funding to do the engineering
work for an i nd i v i dual , Mr Boardm~n canc~ ~~c~Pd t
~ Commis~~aner Cone as~ed Mr Boarc~man who would own the leasehold improvements
s.}~, for- a devel opment such:- as Kena i Harbar D~vel opmen~t; Mr Boardman repl i ed that

The interest rate, Mr 6reck sta~ed far these various bandsr would be n~ne pe~^cent
for the City or State ~ndustriai development bonds and 12 ~to 13 pe~cent for
the cor~ercial/USDA financing.
KHD, Mr 6reck added, is stale mated until they have a lea~se or an aptjon
to ]ea~e from the City,
Mr 6r~eck then presented a map to th~ Harbor Commis.~ion showing the latest
engineer's proposal for the facii~ty, The dock is curre~tly shown~projecting
into the river, but this is only a tentat~ve propasa~ and it may not be the
best spat for it. Ever,ything excep~ the d~ck is inland and has a
min~mal amount of impact upor~ the ri~rer. ~,
4ne of the addit~onal ~tems th~ Commis~io~ ~requested after the last meeting,
three of the l~st above, was for ~he presentatian of letters af s~~port and
letter~ from poten~ial lessees. Th~s was a difficult ta~k, but KND has
draf~ed, Mr 6r~eck sa~d, a promisory committment to lessars -~ this prom~sory
committmentx,should determine whether or not people a~e really interested ir~
lea~ing. The committment wzll depend upon the praject's cam~~~tivn. ~
In appraising t~~ praperty, one af the most respected and conser~~at~ve t~rms,
in Anchorag~ has been reta~ned to d~ the ~ppraisal, but they will not.act
unt~1 the financing is ir~t•aGt. The finacing is waiting on the apprai~al
and the appraisal is waiting o~ the financing. This p~~ential les~ee's
doc~ment is intended to step out o~ t~is cirCle and to see if the appraiser
w~i1 go ah~ad a-7d appraise based upon this as a committment, Mr Breck add~d.
- ~Pr~esiden~ Pro Tempore P~~erkirt asked where the solid engineeri~g propasa~s
the~Commiss~on requested were. : ~
.Mr Breck replied that the final engineering cau~d nvt really be justified until
the leases, or optians, were obtained that cauld warran~ KHD spend~ng tl~e
addi ti onal funds on i t deman~ed. Mr Breck conti nued, stati ng tt~at R&1~ Ccansul ti ng
.Er~gineers have looked at the concept and have look~d at the Corps of E~gineers

, they have reu~~~ed a 1976 s~udy a~d agree with their findlnqs -- th~ Corps
says na pr~blems with the one half tide study. Th~e main problem, the Corps found,
to develooment, was cost. The Corps sa,ys th~ difficult~es i~ developing a
deep draft harbor wou~d hinge on the ~xp~nse. KND does ~ot have the official
engineering on this because of the expense of it.
Pre~ider~t Pro Te~pore Peterkin asked if ~he Kenai Harbor Development had a
study to support the work they were ~urrently doing on Tracts B&C now. Mr
..:~rock replied that KHD did not. There was a study done, Mr Brock continued,

Councilwoman Gli~k questioned the fact that ~he soil that was, to k~e used for

. . , . , ~
that the so~l ~s s~lt w~th som~ clay and may be unstable ~n water.
Mr Br~~k s~ated that the area in which the fiil is being used i~ dry; the
~wharfage:area,which was the eng~neer~s concern, wi11 no~ have arjy o~ th~s
fil~.placed in it. The engineer has now planned a stronger bulkhead than
or~g~na~ly planned beeause of this concern,
Councilwoman Gl~ck than asked what this extra support was, and ~~r Br~ck outlined
3a inch diamet~r ~ilings that wou~d be f117ed with ~oncrete. Between ~he pilings
will be 6 by I2 timbers on the low~r area with 4 by 12's above. In an~wer to
Couneilwoman G~ick's direct question abv~t KND's a~areness vf, and attentian
to, th~ s probl em, Mr Br~~k stated that Kena i Harbor flevel opment was cogni zant

Mr Roper stat~d that these procedures were incorporated in his Tra~t C i~ase
ar~d i t was ~nQt. , posslbl e to expect the K~D to sper~d mi l l i ons of dol l ars to
dev~.lop~some land and nat to receive compens~tion. .
Ca~mi ss i oner Wi 1~ i ams sta ~ed that. one of the reasons for a regul ata~r comr~i ssi on
far fees was to ascertain ti~at the ~usiness is a success a~ ~rell as to
protect the ordinary citizen.
President Pro Tempare Peterk~n said these prvblems could be resolved after
the finaneial package wa~ comp1ete and the rates pr~e~iminarily estab~ished.
Mrs Ruby~Coyle ques~iQn~d ~hether or not the Coast Guard m~ght deny ancharing
privileges in thE Kenai River once ~he KHD develapment was complete, but
President Pro Tempore Peterkin abs~rved that the spaces KND will lease wil1
no~-accomod~te all of the boats by any mean~ that c~rrently need space.
The Coast Guard will not be able to rule against anchoring in ~:he river.
Mr Dean outlined the underground ut7lit~es a~d City sewer and water t~~a~ would
be available to those le~s~ng k~D S1ips and stat~d that the slip~ would be
offer~ng ~nore services ~nd wvuld probab]y cost mor~ than slips in Seward or
Homer.
Cammissioner r~il~iams stated that even the processing plants that presumably
a1-1ow c~mmercial fisherman ta c~se baat sl~ps at their plar~ts for free have
stipulations about us~ng these sTips whic~ in effect create a r~~ujar ,_
r
charge. Commission~r Tepp added that, as a commercia~ fisherman,~he would
be wil7ing ta pay a reasona ble charge for a wel]-run slip; these faciliti~~
KH~ is planning ar~ needed.
Mr Breck questioned whether ar not the harbar was larg~ enough since there .
would a~tually be probably on~y 400 slips. Commissioner Wagoner stated that
the lack of fi~h to catch at th:e mouth af the l~enai wou7d be a disadvantage,
for the fishermen would Have a lonrer ~rip ta reach the finer fishing gro~nds.
f Mr Coy~e stated that the ~eep Creek area is much clear~r and the fish will
~ not bite as we1i in muddy waters.
Commissianer Wagoner questioned ~he fac~ t~at the enQineering was different
between this latest pian and the earl~er one that wa~ put forward ay Kena~
Narbor Developn~en~.
Mr Dean responded, saying that the change was done in ca~e the Commission
apted to g~ve another appli~ant some of the land as~ed far by KND. Mr Bre~k
added that KHD has ~ained more space by moving the facility so that
~ome the fish processing parcels are 1arger and more advantageous far the
processors.
Cammissioner Williams felt the Cammission should give the City Attorney some
vff~cial direction in preparing the conditional lease document for Tract D.
