OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION Juneau, Alaska 99811-1800 OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER Phone: 907-465-5066 Fax: 907-465-5070 www.dec.state.ak.us October 20, 2008 Elin Miller, Regional Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900 Mail Code: RA-140 Seattle, WA 98101-3140 Dear Ms. Miller: The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has reviewed your th August 18 letter regarding EPA’s PM2.5 designations for Alaska and the nonattainment boundaries for the communities of Fairbanks and Juneau. We have carefully considered the available data and analyses. ADEC believes the available scientific evidence does not support EPA’s boundary recommendations which substantially expand upon those recommended by us. ADEC believes public health will be protected and the applicable legal requirements met by taking the actions described in this letter, which include a proposed nonattainment boundary for the Fairbanks area that is larger than originally proposed by ADEC, but smaller than proposed by EPA. For Juneau, we are requesting EPA revisit certain assumptions and include data from 2008 before making a final decision on whether a nonattainment designation is warranted, and if so, the appropriate boundaries of the nonattainment area. Protecting public health is a goal we share with EPA. As you are already aware, we are proactively and expeditiously working with the local governments to address identified PM2.5 concerns in Fairbanks and Juneau. To this end, ADEC does not believe EPA’s proposed boundaries will ultimately assist in protecting public health.

  • Gastineau Channel Juneau, Alaska Feasibility Report
    Gastineau Channel Juneau, Alaska Feasibility Report CHANNEL DEEPENING FOR NAVIGATION ALASKA D l STR l CT CORPS OF ENGl NEEWS NOVEMBER 1977 FEASIBILITY REPORT APPENDIX A - ECONOMICS GASTINEAU CHANNEL, ALASKA PRESENT AND FUTURE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Natural and human resources and developmental trends of the study area are presented to provide a general understanding of their relation to the problems and needs of the area and to establish a "most probable future" for the purpose of benefit and impact analysis. Of particular importance is the role waterways play in the social and economic well-being of the comunity. All waterborne traffic to and from Juneau must use Gastineau Channel. The channel southeast of Juneau is navigable by all classes of vessels, but the northern portion from Juneau-Douglas bridge to Fritz Cove is navigable only by shallow- draft vessels at selected tide levels. A shoaled reach, south of Juneau Airport, is navigable only at high tide and even then, only with current know1 edge of channel conditions. These restrictions cause the majority of traffic to take the longer route around Douglas Island, resulting in increased operating time and costs, a reduction in the navigation season due to adverse weather conditions, and the added risk of life and property because of the longer voyage through unprotected waters. TRIBUTARY AREA Gastineau Channel, a narrow strait about 16 miles long that separates Doug1 as Is1 and from the mainland of southeastern A1 aska, connects Stephens Passage on the east with Fritz Cove on the west. Although much of Southeast Alaska is a general tributary area, the Juneau-Douglas area is the principal contributor.

  • DOUGLAS ISLAND UNITS 08ND North Douglas Geography, Subsheds, Ownership CBJ's 08ND Map Page Contains 13 Priority Areas Totalling 1,275 Acres
    ND units DOUGLAS ISLAND UNITS 08ND North Douglas Geography, subsheds, ownership CBJ's 08ND map page contains 13 Priority Areas totalling 1,275 acres. All but 40 of those acres (PA 1.03, eastern Hendrickson Point) are on City land. We've divided the assessed portion of this map page into 11 ‘subsheds,’ shown with blue lines. Where possible and intuitively apparent, we have named JWMP subsheds after their dominant streams: Fish, Ninemile, Hendrickson, etc. In 2 subsheds lacking a single dominant stream, our names reflect residential features: Sundown,T urnoff. An unusual, outly- ing subshed lies north of the highway on a lobed, heart-shaped and unpointed feature that's confusingly labeled "Hendrickson Point" on some maps. Rather than converging, as in most low-gradient subsheds, small ephemeral streams radiate out across this 307 • Supplement to the JWMP Richard Carstensen • 2016 bi-lobed peninsula.

Working from west to east across this The narrowest part of Mendenhall wetlands is between Sunny Point on the mainland and Hendrickson Point map, the Fish Creek watershed drains 13.7 on Douglas Island. Here lies the tidal divide, where rising waters from Fritz Cove meet incoming waters from square miles into the largest and most the Juneau side. Although currents sometimes relocate this divide slightly east or west, what this generally ecologically significant estuary on Douglas means is that the subsheds so far described communicate primarily with marine waters of Auke Bay.
