  • 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.

  • Auke Lake Watershed Assessment Auke Lake Watershed in Juneau, Alaska
    Auke Lake Watershed Assessment Auke Lake Watershed in Juneau, Alaska Prepared by the Juneau Watershed Partnership April 2009 The Juneau Watershed Partnership (JWP) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote watershed integrity in the City and Borough of Juneau through education, research, and communication while encouraging sustainable use and development. Statement of Need and Purpose Situated approximately 12 miles north of Juneau, Alaska, Auke Lake is an anadromous system supporting coho, sockeye, pink and chum salmon, as well as cutthroat trout, rainbow trout and Dolly Varden char (Bethers, 1996). The Auke Lake watershed is a popular recreational area for Juneau residents, serves as a backdrop for the University of Alaska-Southeast campus, is a growing residential area, and hosts a NOAA/NMFS research facility on its outlet. The purpose of this watershed assessment is to compile existing data into a single document, in order to identify data gaps and provide recommendations for further studies. This document also provides the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) and the public with an overview of the current condition of the Auke Lake watershed, and outlines management recommendations to ensure the sustainability of fish habitat and recreational and aesthetic values. The results of this assessment should be used to guide watershed management of this valuable lake system. The intention is that this report will be utilized by CBJ staff, the CBJ Planning Commission, Wetlands Review Board, the City Assembly, as well as Juneau residents and local, state and federal agencies involved in conservation and land management decisions within the Auke Lake watershed.

While DIA also has members with other Alaska Native and American Indian lineage, it is primarily comprised of direct descendants of the Tribe’s original Base Roll membership originating from the T'aaḵu Kwáan and A'akw Kwáan clans which inhabited Anax YaatAndagan Yé (Douglas) and Dzantik'i Héeni (Juneau) since time immemorial. Some of the clans of DIA’s tribal territory are the Yanyeidí, Tsaateeneidí, Gaanaxádí, Ishkahittáan (T’aaku Kwáan), and L'eeneidí, Wooshkeetaan, L’uknax.adí (A’aakw Kwáan). DIA became a federally recognized tribe in 1934. Through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) of 1971, the State of Alaska conveyed lands to Native corporations formed under ANCSA, but no lands were conveyed to the Tribe(s). DIA’s traditional and historical territory encompasses the City and Borough of Juneau, as well as some areas to the east and north on Admiralty Island and the Chilkat Peninsula, to the south including Endicott Arm, and to the east into Canada in the areas of the Taku River and Atlin, B.C. Tribal History Tlingit people and their clans were well established and thriving in Southeast Alaska when European explorers made their first advances into the area in the 1700’s.
