concerning this notice.
APPLICANT: Anthony Knuteson, Post Office Box 9062, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901
AGENT:
Fred Monrean, Post Office Box 9343, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901
LOCATION: The project site is located within Section 33, T. 75 S., R. 91 E.,
Copper River Meridian; USGS Quad Map Ketchikan B-5; Latitude 55.3199" N., Longitude
131.6001" W.; Ketchikan Gateway Borough, 2587 S. Tongass Highway, in Saxman,
Alaska.
PURPOSE: The applicant's stated purpose is to upgrade and expand an existing
vessel repair facility.
PROPOSED WORK: The applicant proposes to construct a 4,970 square foot steel and
concrete dock and a 640 square foot (16-foot by 40-foot) deck and vessel lift, all
supported by 28, 8-inch steel piles. The existing residence and office building
would be relocated and the existing boat shed would be demolished.
The new boat
repair building includes placing 580 cubic yards (CY) of clean shot rock and 130 CY
of riprap in a 0.028-acre area below the high tide line to support the building and
to provide erosion protection along the shoreline. All work would be performed in
accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-4), dated May 15, 2012.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The applicant owns the property and is a charter and
commercial fisherman who rebuilds and repairs vessels when not fishing.
The site
was a former fishing vessel construction and repair facility.
The project site has
been subject to past development and similar use. There are no wetlands or waters
of the U.S. above the high tide line.
APPLICANT PROPOSED MITIGATION: The applicant proposes the following mitigation
measures to avoid, minimize, and compensate for impacts to waters of the United
States from activities involving discharges of dredged or fill material.
a. Avoidance: The project would use a steel and concrete dock as the main
working surface for the boat haul out and repair facility.
This is more expensive
than fill, but avoids impacts to the environment.
The only fill is near shore
above the mean high water and an irregular shape that would be very expensive to do
in a steel and concrete dock.
b. Minimization: The fill would be contained by a stacked rock wall.
This
minimizes the impact for the fill by reducing the sloped bank from 2:1 to 1:6. The
void spaces in the stacked rock wall create pockets for vegetation and small
animals to grow as opposed to a concrete wall that has less surface area and little
chance for life to flourish.
c.
Compensatory Mitigation: The applicant feels that the avoidance and
minimization measures adequately reduce any potential impacts and have not proposed
compensatory mitigation.
WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: A permit for the described work will not be issued
until a certification or waiver of certification, as required under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217), has been received from the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation.
CULTURAL RESOURCES: The latest published version of the Alaska Heritage Resources
Survey (AHRS) has been consulted for the presence or absence of historic
properties, including those listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places.
There are no listed or eligible properties in the
vicinity of the worksite.
Consultation of the AHRS constitutes the extent of
cultural resource investigations by the District Commander at this time, and he is
otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. This application is being
coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) . Any comments SHPO
may have concerning presently unknown archeological or historic data that may be
lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit will be considered in our
final assessment of the described work.
ENDANGERED SPECIES: The project area is within the known or historic range of the
threatened Steller sea lion eastern DPS (Eumetopias jubatus) , and the following
endangered whale species; fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), humpback whale
(Megaptera novaeangliae) , sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) , blue whale
(Balaenoptera musculus) , and north Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) . There
is no designated critical habitat for any listed species in the project area. We
have determined the described activity would have no effect on any of the above
listed species, and would have no effect on any designated or proposed critical
habitat, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (87 Stat. 844). Therefore, no
consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine
-2-
Fisheries Service is required. However, any comments they may have concerning
endangered or threatened wildlife or plants or their critical habitat will be
considered in our final assessment of the described work.
ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996, requires all Federal
agencies to consult with the NMFS on all actions, or proposed actions, permitted,
funded, or undertaken by the agency, that may adversely affect Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) .
The project area is within the known range of dover sole(Microstomus pacificus)
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), Coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) , and pink salmon
(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). We have determined the described activity would not
adversely affect EFH in the project area. Any comments the National Marine
Fisheries Service may have concerning essential fish habitat will be considered in
our final assessment of the described work.
TRIBAL CONSULTATION: The Alaska District fully supports tribal self-governance and
government-to-government relations between Federally recognized Tribes and the
Federal government.
Tribes with protected rights or resources that could be
significantly affected by a proposed Federal action (e.g., a permit decision) have
the right to consult with the Alaska District on a government-to-government basis.
Views of each Tribe regarding protected rights and resources will be accorded due
consideration in this process. This Public Notice serves as notification to the
Tribes within the area potentially affected by the proposed work and invites their
participation in the Federal decision-making process regarding the protected Tribal
right or resource.
Consultation may be initiated by the affected Tribe upon
written request to the District Commander during the public comment period.
PUBLIC HEARING: Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period
specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this
application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, reasons
for holding a public hearing.
EVALUATION: The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation
of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity and
its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts, which
the proposed activity may have on the public interest, requires a careful weighing
of all the factors that become relevant in each particular case. The benefits,
which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The outcome of the general
balancing process would determine whether to authorize a proposal, and if so, the
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur. The decision should reflect
the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources.
All factors, which may be relevant to the proposal, must be considered including
the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and
wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shore
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality,
energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.
For
activities involving 404 discharges, a permit will be denied if the discharge that
-3-
would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental
Protection Agency's 404(b) (1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and
any other applicable guidelines or criteria (see Sections 320.2 and 320.3), a
permit will be granted unless the District Commander determines that it would be
contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the publici Federal, State, and
local agencies and officialsi Indian Tribesi and other interested parties in order
to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments
received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to
issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.
To make this
decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public
interest factors listed above.
Comments are used in the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need
for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed
activity.
AUTHORITY: This permit will be issued or denied under the following authorities:
(X)
Perform work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States Section 10 Rivers and Harbors Act 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403).
(X)
Discharge dredged or fill material into waters of the United States Section 404 Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Therefore, our public interest
review will consider the guidelines set forth under Section 404(b) of the Clean
Water Act (40 CFR 230).
Project drawings and a Notice of Application for State Water Quality Certification
are enclosed with this Public Notice.

APPLICANT: Anthony Knuteson, Post Office Box 9062, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901
AGENT:
Fred Monrean, Post Office Box 9343, Ketchikan, Alaska 99901
LOCATION: The project site is located within Section 33, T. 75 S., R. 91 E.,
Copper River Meridian; USGS Quad Map Ketchikan B-5; Latitude 55.3199" N., Longitude
131.6001" W.; Ketchikan Gateway Borough, 2587 S. Tongass Highway, in Saxman,
Alaska.
PURPOSE: The applicant's stated purpose is to upgrade and expand an existing
vessel repair facility.
PROPOSED WORK: The applicant proposes to construct a 4,970 square foot steel and
concrete dock and a 640 square foot (16-foot by 40-foot) deck and vessel lift, all
supported by 28, 8-inch steel piles. The existing residence and office building
would be relocated and the existing boat shed would be demolished.
The new boat
repair building includes placing 580 cubic yards (CY) of clean shot rock and 130 CY
of riprap in a 0.028-acre area below the high tide line to support the building and
to provide erosion protection along the shoreline. All work would be performed in
accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-4), dated May 15, 2012.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The applicant owns the property and is a charter and
commercial fisherman who rebuilds and repairs vessels when not fishing.
The site
was a former fishing vessel construction and repair facility.
The project site has
been subject to past development and similar use. There are no wetlands or waters
of the U.S. above the high tide line.
APPLICANT PROPOSED MITIGATION: The applicant proposes the following mitigation
measures to avoid, minimize, and compensate for impacts to waters of the United
States from activities involving discharges of dredged or fill material.
a. Avoidance: The project would use a steel and concrete dock as the main
working surface for the boat haul out and repair facility.
This is more expensive
than fill, but avoids impacts to the environment.
The only fill is near shore
above the mean high water and an irregular shape that would be very expensive to do
in a steel and concrete dock.
b. Minimization: The fill would be contained by a stacked rock wall.
This
minimizes the impact for the fill by reducing the sloped bank from 2:1 to 1:6. The
void spaces in the stacked rock wall create pockets for vegetation and small
animals to grow as opposed to a concrete wall that has less surface area and little
chance for life to flourish.
c.
Compensatory Mitigation: The applicant feels that the avoidance and
minimization measures adequately reduce any potential impacts and have not proposed
compensatory mitigation.
WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION: A permit for the described work will not be issued
until a certification or waiver of certification, as required under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217), has been received from the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation.
CULTURAL RESOURCES: The latest published version of the Alaska Heritage Resources
Survey (AHRS) has been consulted for the presence or absence of historic
properties, including those listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places.
There are no listed or eligible properties in the
vicinity of the worksite.
Consultation of the AHRS constitutes the extent of
cultural resource investigations by the District Commander at this time, and he is
otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. This application is being
coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) . Any comments SHPO
may have concerning presently unknown archeological or historic data that may be
lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit will be considered in our
final assessment of the described work.
ENDANGERED SPECIES: The project area is within the known or historic range of the
threatened Steller sea lion eastern DPS (Eumetopias jubatus) , and the following
endangered whale species; fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus), humpback whale
(Megaptera novaeangliae) , sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) , blue whale
(Balaenoptera musculus) , and north Pacific right whale (Eubalaena japonica) . There
is no designated critical habitat for any listed species in the project area. We
have determined the described activity would have no effect on any of the above
listed species, and would have no effect on any designated or proposed critical
habitat, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (87 Stat. 844). Therefore, no
consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine
-2-
Fisheries Service is required. However, any comments they may have concerning
endangered or threatened wildlife or plants or their critical habitat will be
considered in our final assessment of the described work.
ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act of 1996, requires all Federal
agencies to consult with the NMFS on all actions, or proposed actions, permitted,
funded, or undertaken by the agency, that may adversely affect Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) .
The project area is within the known range of dover sole(Microstomus pacificus)
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), Coho
salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) , and pink salmon
(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). We have determined the described activity would not
adversely affect EFH in the project area. Any comments the National Marine
Fisheries Service may have concerning essential fish habitat will be considered in
our final assessment of the described work.
TRIBAL CONSULTATION: The Alaska District fully supports tribal self-governance and
government-to-government relations between Federally recognized Tribes and the
Federal government.
Tribes with protected rights or resources that could be
significantly affected by a proposed Federal action (e.g., a permit decision) have
the right to consult with the Alaska District on a government-to-government basis.
Views of each Tribe regarding protected rights and resources will be accorded due
consideration in this process. This Public Notice serves as notification to the
Tribes within the area potentially affected by the proposed work and invites their
participation in the Federal decision-making process regarding the protected Tribal
right or resource.
Consultation may be initiated by the affected Tribe upon
written request to the District Commander during the public comment period.
PUBLIC HEARING: Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period
specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this
application. Requests for public hearings shall state, with particularity, reasons
for holding a public hearing.
EVALUATION: The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation
of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity and
its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts, which
the proposed activity may have on the public interest, requires a careful weighing
of all the factors that become relevant in each particular case. The benefits,
which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal, must be balanced
against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The outcome of the general
balancing process would determine whether to authorize a proposal, and if so, the
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur. The decision should reflect
the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources.
All factors, which may be relevant to the proposal, must be considered including
the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and
wildlife values, flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shore
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality,
energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.
For
activities involving 404 discharges, a permit will be denied if the discharge that
-3-
would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental
Protection Agency's 404(b) (1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and
any other applicable guidelines or criteria (see Sections 320.2 and 320.3), a
permit will be granted unless the District Commander determines that it would be
contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the publici Federal, State, and
local agencies and officialsi Indian Tribesi and other interested parties in order
to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments
received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to
issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal.
To make this
decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public
interest factors listed above.
Comments are used in the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need
for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed
activity.
AUTHORITY: This permit will be issued or denied under the following authorities:
(X)
