There were no objections. SO ORDERED. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD -- None ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. Discussion -- Boating Facility Operating Alternatives Public Works Director Kornelis provided the Commission with a 2002 Kenai Harbor Rate Schedule for product wharfage; non-product wharfage; fuel; used oil dumping; boat launch ramp with and without extra parking; tie-up fees; forklift operator; and City labor ca/I-out charges. The following items were discussed' · The shower facilities have been shut down. In the past, users have mistreated the facility by cleaning boots, gear, etc. which resulted in frequent time- consuming and expensive clean-up costs. · The shack at the top of the launch ramp has been .moved. · Fees will be collected by the dockhands and, when available, Parks and Recreation summer help. · Commissioner Simon informed the Commission of possible dock funding through cargo shipping. Komelis stated the water depth in Kenai is not suitable for such operations as there is no access to deep water. Discussion -- Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway -- Project Update The Commission discussed the Kenai River Bridge Access Road Pathway as provided in the packets. The Commissioners voiced their strong desire for a separated pathway largely due to potential roadway hazards an attached Pathway could cause. The following items were discussed: · The proposed pathway will cross underneath the bridge to encourage. Birch Island development. · The Commission stated a 50-foot easement from the road to the pathway would provide a safer environment for pedestrians. The resolutions presented by city administration do not state the need for a separated walkway; the Commission stated its desire for a new resolution. Councilman Bookey stated he would address the City Council with this concern. · The Commission unanimously requested the pathway be at least 50-feet from the road with a ditch separation. Komelis stated he would address this to the proper entities. The project is currently in the environmental assessment phase. Komelis stated he would keep the Commission apprised when new information is known. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS -- None ITEM 7: REPORTS 7-a. Director -- Public Works Director Kornelis reported on the following: · The floats are out and have been placed in a good section of the river. · Komelis reminded the Commission fuel storage and overnight parking/camping is illegal in this area. Dock Foreman -- No report 7-c. City Council Liaison -- Councilman Bookey reported on the following: · Provided a recap of City Council action items. · Suggested the idea of requesting regulation changes to allow charged camping at the dock area to create more revenue. KENAI HARBOR COMMISSION JUNE 8, 2002 PAGE 2 ITEM 8: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/OUESTIONS Komelis reported no further information had been received from the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Coastal Trail project.

We can mention to them the PN&D work but ultimately it will be their call on subcontracting with PN&D. I have a draft scope of work for the contract to complete the study. I hope to have it ready for city review in two weeks, say July 1. The planning and environmental coordination will be done with Corps resources. The engineering component of the study will be contracted out to TNH. The study will also include and economic analysis of the benefits to be provided by stabilizing the bluff. Economics will also be included in the contract. I'm out the door in just a few minutes, going to Kenai for pleasure, so if you have any further questions please contact Ken Turner. pat fitzgerald Linda L.

Attached to the letter is correspondence fi'om PN&D outlining the additional studies they understood are needed as well as a report of the information PN&D had available addressing the issues agency personnel raised. ~ addition, the letter states that the Corps of Engineers (COE) will be handling the technical study phase of this project. The COE is currently putting together specifications for the project, though Guy McConnell's Environmental Resource Group will handle coordination of the environmental issues. The COE will be doing a feasibility study for this project and looking at the various alternatives that exist to address the bluff erosion issue. The intent at the end of the feasibility study is to present a package with an alternative to the City of Kenai. Currently Pat Fitzgerald, with the COE's Plan Formulation section is working on the project. Pat can be reached at (907) 753-5638. A biologist has yet to be assigned from the COE's Environmental Resources section, currently questions should be addressed to Guy McConnell. Guy can be reached at (907) 753-2614. The City of Kenai has provided the COE with information gathered to date, as well as a summary of agency concems as they understand them. Pat has indicated that the COE hopes to regroup with the City and interested agency personnel later this summer (around August timefi'ame) once they have selected subcontractors to work on the project.

RE: Kenai Coastal Trail & Erosion Control Project Dear Ms. Wing: As we discussed earlier today, I am enclosing correspondence dated April 8, 2002 from ?eratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc. (PN&D) about the project referenced above. At the conclusion of our joint meeting with agency personnel on February 12, 2002, it was agreed that the City would present written responses to agency permitting concerns. Hopefully, the enclosed correspondence from PN&D completes this necessary step towards narrowing the focus of agency concerns for the purpose of additional study. I understood from our discussion that you would copy each of the commenting agencies with the enclosed correspondence and receive any feedback they may have. Secondly, as we also discussed, the Corps of Engineers will be handling the technical study phase of this project. I have talked with Corps representatives who have informed me that the Federal appropriation in the amount of $500,000 wound up in their budget, rather than as a direct appropriation to the City of Kenai. We have confirmed this information with Senator Ted Stevens' aid. Ms. Lisa Suthertand, and we have met with two Corps representatives who indicated a willingness to coordinate with the City and to make every, effort to work with PN&D throughout this process. I have provided you with their names and contact telephone numbers of the Corps representatives and have encouraged you to talk with them directly. I appreciated your suggestion that we might schedule another meeting with agency personnel in conjunction with the Corps' development of the RFP for the technical study. I believe that we can all continue working closely through the Environmental Assessment phase of the technical study and beyond to the actual project permitting. Thank you for your assistance.

ADMINISTRATION Dear Ms. Snow: PN&D is providing the attached information in response to requests for additional information from ADF&G, USEPA. etc. of the proposed City of Kenai Coastal Trail/Erosion Control Project. Rather than provide individual responses to each reviewing agency, we have grouped similar comments from the various reviewers together and prepared this consolidated response. The item numbering follows our earlier letter of November 14, 2001. We have relied upon available information and studies to respond to agency comments. The attached responses fully address some of the agency comments. Where the attached information does not meet the needs of the reviewing agencies, additional studies will have to be done. These studies fall into the following areas' 1. Project Altematives la. prepare evaluations of project alternatives, including combinations of the tbllowing: - purchase bluff properties, remove threatened structures - landuse/zomng/construction regulation to control bluff-top development -altemative trail locations (top or bottom of bluff, no trail) - alternative trail geometries (paved, footpath, meandering trail, ADA accessible) - erosion control methods lb. economic evaluation of project alternatives 1 c. evaluation of effects on recreational and commercial use 2. River Mouth Physical Processes 2a. sediment transport (address criticisms of the UAA study) 2b. fiver hydraulic analyses - analysis of hydraulic conditions with and without project, including during fiver flood conditions - analysis of long-term successional changes to the river channel - analysis of scour potential ~oou~uE ~o.moS 'E'd 'Iloqdtt~D tm.f 'DNI 'ED¥~IG ~ ~DNIJ~LON HD'IAO~~Ed · potloml~z s.[ saolloI luammoo ottl jo ls.[I ooua~.loa .~ ptm sluammoo ao su. xoouoo ,S,tO~O.[AO~ Oql ~U[.1~ZlS solonb looa.[p §u.[p!Ao.[d~-'o~u.[lS!l poI.r~op V ([i~jlno ~tmId luatmeo.n o~~os 'a~oqs qlnos oql uo spu~IlO~ s~etl ~o^.~ !euo)I '~IaoaD at--N-ON 'qogoq sotmcI !eua)I 'suo.u[pu0o ~q uma.nsdn) seo~ luao~.fp~ uo loo.foad o~o slooSja jo luatussass~ - slua^o poott ~,u.unp uo.uou~ loo.fo.~d jo s!sAl~u~ - ZOOE '6 l.udv ,~ous ~pm."I PRELIMINARY RESPONSE TO COMMENT~,~, .... KENAI COASTAL TRAIL AND EROSION CONTROL PROJECl~0~.:~ar~0,,~ 1. ESTABLISH CAUSE OF BLUFF EROSION "There is some question as to the cause of erosion in the lowest mile of the River... A 1982 report commissioned by the City states that 'the major cause of erosion of the slope arisea from the large volume of water draining through the upper 35 feet of material' (TAMS Engineers, 1982). It would also appear...that the thalweg of the River is moving to the. north.., suggesting that the River is meandering north, eroding that bank... The cause of slope thilure along the bluff may be a combination of these influences..." (USEPA 2001 a) RESPONSE: Groundwater and surface water runoff may cause erosion, of the high bluffs along the proposed project area, as suggested by TAMS Engineers. However, it is erosion of material from the base of the bluff from waves and cUrrents that perpetuates the bluff's retreat. "Wave- and tide-induced currents, superimposed on steady, seaward river currents, -carry material deposited at the toe of the bluffs away downstream" (Smith et aL, 2001). The University of Alaska Anchorage is continuing to study the Kenai River, particularly the sediment budget and associated coastal processes at the river mouth. Dr. Orson Smith is the principal investigator in these studies, which include field measurements at the river mouth to quantify suspended and bed sediment transport for correlation with long-term stream gauge measurements upstream; numerical simulations of tidal' currents in the lower river to be calibrated with historical tides at Nikisld and verified by field measurements; modeling of wave-induced sediment transport at the river mouth based on wind measurements at the site and correlated to historical wind records at the Kenai Airport: and observations of winter ice conditions and sampling and testing of shore-fast ice and bank sediments' below ~Cor prevailing characteristics. These analyses may reveal trends in sediment budget that affect shoreline erosion and formation of bars and shoals, and define a baseline condition for assessment of potential impacts from developments along the lower Kenai River. 2. CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES "Please provide an evaluation of alternatives including an analysis of costs/benefits and impacts to fish and wildlife resources." (ADF&G 2001) 2a. Purchase bluff properties, remove structures, and curtail further deVelopment "Evaluation of altematives should include, but are not limited to consideration of: 1) purchasing properties or bluff easements and removing existing structures and curtailing further development to reduce need for stabilization..." (ADF&G 2001) "Alternatively it may be less expensive for the City to simply purchase threatened property, moving people out of harms way and avoiding tideland fill. We suggest that the applicant consider these alternatives" (USEPA 2001 at Peratromch.

CONDUCT ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS / BASELINE SURVEYS "...please provide.., a complete ecosystem analysis of the structure and function of the estuary including an inventory of fish and wildlife species use by season (including winter), age cla.~, depth and tide cycle." (ADF&G) "a baseline survey of current bird and fish use of the...site of the proposed project...to better understand the extent of habitat loss which wOuld occur..." (USEPA 200la) "...we request.., quantitative analysis of fish surveys..." (KPB) RESPONSE: No such studies have been performed for the proposed project at this point. 4. CONDUCT ADDITIONAL SEDIMENT TRANSPORT ANALYSIS 4a. Assess effects on Kenai Dunes and sandbars "...potential for changes in the existing sand dunes that provide erosion protection for the wetlands through which this stream meanders." (ADF&G 2000) "Sediment Dynamics Related to Dune Nourishment... concern that the dunes on the north side of the fiver will be starved of sand... Loss of these dunes will expose the bluff behind them to direct wave action at high tide" (USEPA 2001a) "...the sediment transport pattems at the mouth of the fiver will be altered significantly. This may impact downstream sand dune and sand bar areas..." (Tarbox 2001) RESPONSE: Effects on the Kenai Dunes and sandbars were assessed through a stud~ performed by U~L~ (Smith et aL, 20OD. That study concluded that the Kenai Dunes beach was. sustained by wave-induced accretion and sand replenishment from prevailing onshore winds, and that these were sufficient to balance erosion by river currents, winds or other forces. The study found that the east-west orientation of the Kenai Dunes beach results in longshore transport being directed eastward (upstream) in this area, rather than northward as occurs along the generally north-south oriented coast of Cook Inlet both north and south of the mouth of the Kenai River. The UA~I study examined the sediment budget at the river mouth and presented the following sediment transport estimates: (1) river bed load (sand) = 363,000 tons per year, (2) bluff erosion along the proposed project = 51,000 tons per year, and (3) coastal wave-induced longshore transport directed northward = 68,000 tons per year. Thus, estimated sediment transport'into the river mouth area totals about 482,000 tons per year (363,000 + 51,000 + 68,000), while longshore sediment transport northward out of the river mouth area is only about 68,000 tons per year. The study noted that surplus sediment entering into the river mouth area is the source of the wide accumulation of sand on the tidelands just north of the river mouth. Based on the sediment transport estimates from the U~Ld study, the surplus is roughly 414,000 tons per year (482,000- 68,000). If the bluff erosion were stopped, the surplus Peratrovich.

Conduct scour analysis "<The thalweg> elevation must be thoroughly analyzed and documented to avoid the potential for catastrophic failure of the project. The depth of scour, estimated to be-5 feet for this project, is also questionable and warrants more detailed analysis to establish a scour depth at which this project should be designed to protect against." (ADF&G 2ooo) "...please provide... Information on the design life of the project and potential impacts to the river if the channel undercuts and destabilizes the toe of the rock fill." (ADF&G 2001) "We are also concerned about how the channel would react during flood stages, and we fear that it may be more erosive with the riprapped bank than under current conditions." (USFWS 2001) 5b. Assess effect of hydraulic changes on sediment transport "...potential to cause hydraulic changes in the Kenai River that could change the natural bed load transport conditions and deposition rates in the lower river." (ADF&G 2000) 5c. Assess effect of hydraulic changes on adjacent areas ~'We are concerned that changes to the existing hydraulic conditions, no matter how large or small, may result in the potential for alteration of the bank conditions above or below the mouth of the Kenai River. Such changes could necessitate further bank erosion protection and increased costs attributable to this project." (ADF&G 2000) "We question if this project will alter the current erosion and deposition rates of long shore currents in Cook Inlet near the mouth of the Kenai River." (ADF&G 2000) "We are concerned that the proposed design of the armored deflection dike located at the upstream end of No-Name Creek may creme a current gyre. This could result in increased erosive forces attacking the bank further up the beach dune area towards the existing beach access road and dip-net fishing turn-around area." (ADF&G 2000) "Additional uncertainty that needs to be addressed includes the effect of hardening the outside bend of the fiver on the inside bend and on areas upstream and downstream of the project site.., documentation should be provided..."

Because the proposed .trail fill in the river mouth is so small compared to the available flow area, the proposed project will not significantly affect ]low patterns in the river mouth. Additional hydraulic study, other than that required to evaluate wave energy as related to the design of trail armoring, has not been performed at this time for the project. 6. CONDUCT ECONOMIC EVALUATION "Please provide an evaluation of alternatives including an analysis of costs/benefits..." (ADF&G 200~) "...this project does not appear to be economically sound." (Tarbox 2001) RESPONSE: See response to (2), above. 7. ASSESS EFFECTS ON HABITAT AND BIOTA "Additional analysis of the biological resources using the project area is also needed to ensure the biological productivity of the esmarine habitat is not adversely affected by the proposed project through physical and chemical alteration of the existing habitat." (ADF&G 2000) 7a. AsSess effects on physical and chemical productivity, of river mouth "...potential for this project to cause adverse effects to fisheries resources which utilize the mouth and lower reaches (tidally influenced areas) of the Kcnai River." (ADF&G 2000) "...please provide.., an evaluation of how the physical and chemical productivity of the fiver mouth (number and type of organisms, use and value of the area~ will change through time as the natural erosive process that is slowly causing the river mouth to become wider, shallower and more productive is altered." (ADF&G 200 l) "Our concerns regarding this project involve the likely effects on fish and wildlife habitat, and changes to hydrologic and sediment movement patterns that will adversely affect the functioning of the Kenai River esmarine ecosystem... Erosion, transport and deposition of sediment in the fiver and the mouth renew terrestrial and aquatic habitat in the project area. The variety of shallow and deep areas, wetlands and the seaside dune system provide the physical habitat that supports this complex ecosystem... The proposed project should be analyzed for effects on the estuary and its biota." (USEPA 2001a) "...the following information should be provided.., analysis of the impact of physical changes to biota of this system." (USEPA 2001a) "We are concerned that armoring 1.2 miles of the lower Kenai River would substantially alter the structure and function of this estuarine habitat area and may impact populations of fish and wildlife that are critically dependent upon the fiver and the Kenai Flats..."

CONSIDER MITIGATION "...no mitigation for potential negative effects to fish and wildlife habitat and wetland hydrological functions have been proposed." (USFWS 2001) "We...feel that the proposed mitigation is inadequate for a project of this size." (NMFS 2001) RESPONSE: Initi~ design for the proposed project has focused on minimizing the environmental impact of the project. This has been achieved primarily by locating the proposed trail as high as possible on the beach - tight against the base of the bluffs and well above the low tide line- while still protecting the base of the bluffs from ongoing erosion. In response to consultation with reviewing agencies, the proposed trail was realigned at its north end so that the volume and area of fill below the high tide line would_ be significantly less than an earlier proposed trail alignment. Recreational benefits were also considered during init~ design, to enhance river-access and meet ADA accessibility guidelines.~ No mi~gation has been proposed, at this point in the project development. 10. PREPARE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT "In order to address the secondary and cumulative effects that this proposed project may produce, an environmental impact or assessment document will need to be prepared for the project." (ADF&G 2000) "We believe that an Environmental Impact Statement is warranted for this project." (USEPA 200la) RESPONSE: An environmental assessment document has not been prepared at this point in the project development. 11. ADDRESS STORM WATER CONCERNS 11 a. Identify any wood preservatives to be used- "Trade name('s) and Material Safety Data Sheet(s) for the wood preservative(s) being used on this project." (ADEC 2001) RESPONSE: Any treated wood used on the proposed project, including the timber decking on the proposed pedestrian bridge, will be pressure treated with A CZA. 11 b. Direct storm water discharges to bioswale "A determination whether the storm water collected from the top of the bluff will discharge to the bioswale located between the multiple use trail and the bluff or directly to the Kenai River... The NPS program is requesting the surface of the coastal trail including paved and non-paved areas be designed to direct surface runoff towards the bioswale and away from the Kenai River."
