Dock Area Paving $425,000 This part of the project is to rebuiid the Boat Launch Road and a portion of the Boating Facility parking iot, which is presently gravel. The project includes asphalt paving, parking striping, and signage. b. New Launch Ramps $275,000 This part of the project is to add two new launch ramps with a floating dock between the ramps. It would be simiiar to the existing launch ramps. c. New Dock Access Road $200,000 This part of the project is to add a new road as an exit access to the boating faciiity. PROJE~T JUSTlFICATION: The 6oat Launch Road, Parking Lot, and Launch Ramps are heavily used by personai dip net fishermen using the Boating Facility. Over 15,000 dip net permits for househoids are issued each year, and over 100,000 fish are caught in this Kenai River fishery. The City Boat Faciiity handies most of this fishery. This project will improve the Boating Faciiity operation and make it a Iot cleaner. This project will greatly enhance the health and quality of life of its users. At the present time, users of the Boating Facility use staging areas that are gravei surfaced and often dirty and unsanitary. Dust in the area is a problem since dust retardants cannot be used due to the closeness to the water. Users spend time in staging areas getting their boats ready to load and unload onto their trailers and in parking. This project would definitely enhance recreational opportunities for dip net fishermen. Informational signs would also enhance the understanding of the area. The biggest bottleneck that restricts the number of dip net users is having only two launch ramps. This project would provide users an additional two ramps allowing more users and faster access to the river. Under the present conditions, sometimes Dip Net Fishery Projects Page 2 there is a two-hour wait to get a boat into the water pius another two-hour wait to get the boat out of the water. At times, the line of vehicies with boats or trailers extends down Boat Launch Road almost to 6ridge Access Road. This presents many problems of access on this narrow road. Users often have to exit the faciiity and drive down Bridge Access Road to find a place to turn around and then back to Boat Launch Road to get in iine to retrieve their boats. A new one-way exit from the facility wouid allow users with their boats to exit directly or allow vehicies with a trailer to make a Ioop to the line on Boat Launch Road to retrieve their boats. The three parts of this project are very badly needed, and they are a direct result of the heavy use of dip net fishermen. Since the dip net fishery is governed or regulated in this area by the State of Alaska, the City of Kenai is requesting funds to help relieve some of the costs caused by the impact of this fishery. That is aiso why this project is entitled "State of Alaska Dip Net Fishery Projects." ~ ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 ~ 0 0 a 0 0 0 ~ ~~~ ~G 4~~~;10N Or ~~ ~~'p . . ~ ~; Aquati~ Farm S tructures-Gen eral Permlt (g 1-7N~ ~ ~ ~ SUpPLE~IEN'~~L PUBLIC ~tOTIC~ x 3 ~ Ai~sk~ Coast~l Man~~eme~lt Pto~ m ~ ~ Division of Governmental Coordination DGC' . . ~ ~rb~ ~~ ~`y s a U.S, Army Corps of En~in~;crs (C4E} is proposing the project, described bclow, in your are~.
