PERSONAL USE FISHERY
KENAI RIVER, NORTH SHORE
FISHERY SUPPORT IMPROVEMENTS
The following described improvements will enhance the existing support facilities for the
personal use fishery on the north shore of the mouth of the Kenai River.
Pre -Cast Double Vault Restroom- $70,000
During the personal use fishery the City of Kenai rents and maintains eight (8) portable toilets at
the end of Kenai Avenue. During weekends the portable toilets must be pumped and serviced
up to twelve (12) times daily. The installation of two double toilets, each with 2,000 gallons of
storage capacity will significantly reduce by a factor of fifty (50) the number of times the facilities
must be pumped per weekend.
Pedestrian Walkway Improvements $48,000
A large volume of foot traffic accesses the north shore to participate in the personal use fishery
utilizing a pedestrian pathway from Old Town Kenai. The construction of trail improvements
would increase capacity and make it easier to carry/pull equipment such as coolers, chairs,
nets, etc.
Permanent Signage $8,000
Signage is needed to identify and protect environmentally sensitive areas that are damaged
during the personal use fishery. These areas include riverbank, a tidal estuary, wetlands, and
sand dunes.
Pedestrian Barrier $24,000
The City of Kenai has installed over 4,000 lineal feet of pedestrian barrier fence to minimize
pedestrian traffic, ATV traffic and four -wheel drive vehicular traffic from sand dunes and bird
nesting areas on the north shore. Construction of an additional 1,200 lineal feet of pedestrian
fence comprised of 6 "x6 "x8' All- Weather Wood (AWW) posts and two strands of galvanized 3/8"
chain will protect an upland area consisting of grasses, bird nesting areas, and other habitat.
