KENAI ADVISORY HARBOR COMMISSION
Special Meeting, September 1}, 1~8}2
The sedimention study is completed, the final dip being
taken in Oune and the report is at the printers. The
conclusions show that the original findings were correct,
and that they are about half of the findings of the Corps
estimate.
A sedimentation study was done in Dillingham which has very
similar conditions as Kenai, comparisons were done and the
results confi.~med the findings of the TAMS staff.
TAMS estmates that about ~00 commercial boats a.~e in the
Kenai a~ea, of that ~00, some will stay with cannery
docking, some will not be willing to pay, some a~e t~ansient
and will not need docking until summer leaving about 200
small boats that will need the facility. The~e will be
fingers on the floats that will accomodate up to 4 boats
moo~ing alongside each othe~ to handle mo~e than 200 should
the occasion a~ise. TAMS estimate that about 200-250
~eC~eation boats will want to use the facility.
TAMS brought forward 5 different layouts of harbo~ designs
for the Commission to review. While several were good, some
were discarded for different reasons, one being the well on
the Coyle p~operty and another the gas line which ~uns
through the property. TAMS estimated 1.8 million dolla.~s to
move it.
One of the key factors in the harbor designs was the
maintenance and dredging. In designs 1,2,& }, the neck of
the harbor would allow for minimal silt flow into the basin
and easy dredging in the spring. The body felt that a cat
to push the silt out in the spring would be sufficient.
Also discussed was leaving enough .~oom at one end of the
basin fo.~ possibly a ~estau~ant and a small shop o~ sto~e.
