North Slope Borough Federal Tax ID: 92-0042378 Project Title: Project Type: Maintenance and Repairs North Slope Borough - Critical Infrastructure Protection Total Project Snapshot Report 2013 Legislature TPS Report 60238v1 Agency: Commerce, Community and Economic Development Grants to Municipalities (AS 37.05.315) Grant Recipient: North Slope Borough Federal Tax ID: 92-0042378 Project Title: Project Type: Maintenance and Repairs North Slope Borough - Critical Infrastructure Protection State Funding Requested: $6,000,000 House District: 40 / T Future Funding May Be Requested Brief Project Description: This project will provide funding for the design and permitting of revetment to protect essential infrastructure in Barrow and Point Hope. Funding Plan: Total Project Cost: $80,000,000 Funding Already Secured: ($0) FY2014 State Funding Request: ($6,000,000) Project Deficit: $74,000,000 Funding Details: No funds have been appropriated in prior years. Detailed Project Description and Justification: This project will provide beginning funding for the design, permitting, and construction of revetment to protect essential infrastructure in Barrow and Point Hope. The North Slope Borough has an established beach nourishment program, however more permanent solutions need to be pursued in order to continue providing critical services to residents. The extended periods of open water and increased number of severe storms are overtaking current efforts, leading to flooding of low lying areas, and potential permanent damage to assets essential in provision of public services. Revetment off the coast of Barrow will provide additional protection to the coast line, reducing flood related damage and protecting public and private property. The 12-foot option was determined as the best course of action based on the 100 year storm mark, where in 1963 12-foot swells did significant damage to the city. Revetment off of Point Hope will be used to protect the airport and runway. The airport provides the only year-round access to Point Hope. The airport is essential for the transport of goods, services, residents and for the provision of emergency medical services. The value of the North Slope Borough owned assets potentially protected by the revetment in Barrow is estimated at over $600 million dollars. This amount does not include the cost of providing services through alternate means (water, sewer, etc.) that would be required in an event generating surf similar to the 1963 storm. The value of protected private assets in the same area exceeds $600 million dollars. For use by Co-chair Staff Only: Page 1 Contact Name: Staff to Rep.

That document underwent Independent Technical Review. As a result of that review, basic hydraulic and economic analyses were redone, with the result that no alternative yielded positive National Economic Development benefits greater than the costs of implementing that alternative. Since there is no Federal action proposed in this Technical Report, there is no need for a formal Real Estate Plan. However, since the draft REP had compiled information on real estate, it is included for information only . REAL ESTATE PLAN BARROW STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION PROJECT BARROW, ALASKA 26 March 2007 1. Purpose This study was authorized by a resolution adopted 2 December 1970 by the House Public Works Committee. The resolution, known as the “Rivers and Harbors in Alaska” resolution, reads in part: Resolved by the Committee on Public Works of the House of Representatives, United States, that the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors is hereby requested to review the reports of the Chief of Engineers on Rivers and Harbors in Alaska, published as House Document Numbered 414, 83rd Congress, 2nd Session…and other pertinent reports, with a view to determining whether any modifications contained herein are advisable at the present time… The purpose of this study is to determine the Federal interest in providing storm damage reduction, flood damage reduction and navigation improvements at Barrow, Alaska; to identify a non-federal sponsor willing to share in the cost of the feasibility study; and to develop a Project Management Plan (PMP) for a feasibility-level study. Barrow, the northern most community in North America and the economic center for the North Slope Borough, is located on the Arctic Ocean about 750 miles (mi) north of Anchorage, Alaska. Barrow is a first-class city with about 4,400 residents. The North Slope Borough, which includes almost all of Alaska north of the 68th Parallel, has a population of about 9,600 persons spread over 95,000 mi2, an area about the size of the state of Oregon. The majority of residents are Inupiat Eskimos. Barrow is located on a southwest-northeast coastline of the Chukchi Sea about 10 mi southwest of Point Barrow, the northernmost point of land in Alaska (Figure 1). Point Barrow is located on a spit fronting Elson Lagoon and marks the boundary between the Chukchi Sea on the west and the Beaufort Sea on the east. Page 1 2. Project Description For the purposes of this study, the protection plan includes the entire 25,000 foot-long shoreline under attack, including Barrow, Browerville, and the sewage lagoon/landfill area. The construction of shore protection at the sites shown on figure 3 combined with the placement of nourishment and wave absorption beach fill shown at locations on the same figure should protect the City of Barrow, the sewage lagoon, and the landfill from erosion.

  • North Slope Communications Protocol
    Exhibit 17 ICAS Petition North Slope Communications Protocol Communication Guidelines to Support Meaningful Involvement of the North Slope Communities in EPA Decision-Making May 2009 Exhibit 17 ICAS Petition 4 2.0 Communication with North Slope Communities Region 10 Protocol Statement: Region 10 will: • Maintain and improve our working relationships with communities on the North Slope of Alaska, • Use communication strategies that take into account the cultural context of the North Slope communities, • Communicate early both internally and with North Slope communities as soon as Region 10 staff learn of a proposed project or issue. Implementing the Protocol: Region 10 will use communication strategies that take into account the cultural context of the North Slope communities by adapting our communications to the values and practices of those communities. In this way, Region 10 will practice culturally appropriate communications for each project related to the North Slope. For each project (or project category) related to the North Slope, there must be a deliberate consideration of whether there is a need to prepare and implement a formal communications strategy. If a formal strategy is not deemed necessary, the Protocol must still be implemented by the program. Communication with North Slope communities can begin as soon as EPA learns of a project (perhaps even before an application is received, for example). This requires EPA program staff to communicate regularly with each other concerning their activities on the North Slope. Development of a communication strategy can also begin as soon as EPA learns of a project. Routine and open communication with the communities is an integral part of the entire project process, beginning at project inception, not from the start of the comment period.

UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. H ie qualityof this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, prim bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. Higher quality 6” x 9" black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
