Railroad release 2022 Art Print - Page 2 of 2
October 11, 2021
Having seen several ptarmigan during family hikes in recent years,
Schaefermeyer said she was inspired to include the Alaska state bird as a
fitting addition to a painting featuring an Alaska icon, the Alaska Railroad.
Expecting her fifth child in October, the artist was further inspired to surround
a male and female ptarmigan with five chicks. "Alaska summers are often a
time when family comes to visit, gathering together to enjoy each other and
beautiful nature," she said. That beauty includes Alaska's classic wildflowers
forget-me-nots, fireweed, lupine —also featured in the painting.
She said the painting also reflects her joy over being chosen to create the
artwork. "I feel as though the baby I carry brings another blessinga chance
to work with the railroad. This is my honor," she said. The happy news took her
mind off some of COVID-19's grim impacts. Three years ago, this self-taught artist established a downtown
art shop and gallery, Dreaming Bear Studiohttps://www.dreamingbearstudio.com/. Like so many
businesses that rely on tourism, her gallery was hit hard by the pandemic. Yet, she remains grateful to
customers who have come back to support her during this difficult time.
Schaefermeyer originally hails from South Korea, where she met her husband Karl. In 2006, Karl brought
Kwangsook to Alaska to settle in his hometown of Seward.
The railroad's annual art print program began 43 years ago, when APPC commissioned renowned artist
John Van Zyle to produce an official painting. Since that 1979 beginning, the annual tradition (except in
1984, when no painting was released) has evolved into a popular collector's item. More information about
the Alaska Railroad's annual art print program, including history and images of prints from the recent past,

INTRODUCTION
During the mid-1970s, the City of Seward began developing a plan to create an industrial complex
at the Fourth of July Creek area to service the maritime industry. The City annexed the valley in
1977, acquired lands through the Alaska Statehood Act Municipal Entitlement, and completed the
1979 Fourth of July Creek Industrial Development Feasibility Study. That study identified four
examples of industries that would be more likely than others to locate in the Fourth of July Creek
area: fisheries, shipyard, petrochemical processing, and heavy industry, such as ore refining and
bulk freight handling.
The foundation for the project was a shipbuilding facility proposed by the Danish firm Burmeister -
Wain to meet the high demand for new vessels in the king crab fisheries. With the crash of the fish
stock in 1980, the project evolved into a mix of ship repair facilities, general cargo, fisheries
processing, and other industrial uses. The project today is essentially as described in the 1980
Century-Quadra report entitled "Fourth of July Creek Industrial Marine Park Project Description"
and shown on Figure 2 - Project Overview and Figure 3 - Site Plan (Appendix Exhibits C & D).
Upon completion of a comprehensive 1981 Environmental Impact Assessment, the City embarked
on a multi -year construction project that ultimately invested the majority of the City's share of the
port bonds and state oil revenues into: an access road, the relocation of Fourth of July Creek, a
retaining dike, basin, breakwater, and shiplift. With a state grant, new investment work was done
to the North Dock and a new floating dock for a total investment of approximately $65 million.
Access, utilities, and land availability helped spawn development of the sawmill and the prison
within the boundaries of the Fourth of July Creek valley complex. The shiplift has been operational
since 1985, and a building was erected to cover large barges and vessels, new break room, and
machine shop buildings. Development activity continues to occur in the area known as the Seward
Marine Industrial Center (SMIC).
In 1988, the Spring Creek Correctional Center was completed and was designated as a Level III
(Maximum Security) Facility. Originally designed to house 412 long-term inmates, growth in
prisoner population has dictated adding more bunks which gives a current population of over 500
prisoners. The facility is staffed with a team of more than 200 experienced correctional,
administrative and management personnel and is a decentralized campus design, currently with
three separate houses that are separated from the major administration/support complex by a large
recreation/exercise field. Spring Creek Correctional Center is situated on a 328-acre site was made
available by the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the City of Seward.
THE PLAN
GOAL: An action -oriented document to guide the City and private enterprise in completing
the development of a vibrant and successful marine industrial center.
The Seward Marine Industrial Center (SMIC) Development Plan is a direct outgrowth of the
community's desire to enhance, encourage, and promote an atmosphere favorable for additional
private sector economic development at SMIC. For the purpose of this plan, SMIC is considered
to include the 128.5 acres immediately adjacent to the harbor basin, south of Spring Creek and
west of the prison property (Tract A and Tract B, Johnson —Swift Subdivision, USS No. 1651,
Parcel ID 14533004 [Appendix Exhibits A and B]).
The SMIC Development Plan becomes a component of the City of Seward's Comprehensive Plan.
Whereas the Comprehensive Plan contains both advisory and binding elements, the SMIC
Development Plan contains only advisory elements comprised of goals, issues, and actions. The
binding element of the Comprehensive Plan is the Land Use Plan which is a legal document that
must be adhered to and can be revised only by ordinance.
As part of the process of finalizing the SMIC Development Plan, the City solicited suggestions
from various public boards and commissions and interested groups, such as the Seward Chamber
of Commerce. The draft plan was presented to the public at advertised public hearings and through
review by the aforementioned groups. The issues raised and recommendations made by those
individuals and organizations are reflected in this document. The original plan was approved by
the Seward City Council in 1995; it was updated in 2008, reviewed in 2011, and the most recent
update was completed in 2018.
An effective plan is one which is implemented. The City of Seward has a track record of
accomplishing actions outlined in its plans. Recommendations from previous plans that have been
accomplished within the SMIC area include:
• Syncrolift with upland rail system
• 315 ton Travelift
• Bulk fuel facility
• 430' North Dock
• Fisheries dock and plant improvements Moving towards new ownership (Polar to
Bornstein)
• New DEC approved outfall
• Electrical substation
• Primary electrical service
• 34 individual power stalls, water and sewer systems
• Secondary sewer treatment plant
• Preliminary real estate subdivision plat
• Some fill and cargo laydown area
0 Some utility improvements, including area lighting LED High Mast lights
• Campground improvements
• Some real estate development (sales and leases)
• 400 and 800 amp service at North Dock
• Rubble mound breakwater
• Wash down pad
• 10 Ton crane
• 315' floating dock (Fisherman's Float)
• Building for wash down pad
• Fenders on North Dock
• Widen the 315 Ton Travelift and Travelift Pit
Future plans to be considered and funded include:
• Finish the heating system for the Wash Down Pad
• New US Coast Guard facility
BASIC MARINE INFRASTRUCTURE
GOAL: Continue Upland development.
BASIN
The basin that was envisioned by the 1980 Century-Quadra concept was enclosed, protected and
dredged to -21 feet mean lower low water (MLLW) to accommodate medium -draft vessels for
ship repair, cargo off loading, and general moorage. The basin has been dredged to design with -
25 foot berths adjacent to the Shiplift Dock and the North Dock. The basin is protected by a rip -
rap breakwater along the east shoreline, by a filled sheet pile cell breakwater along the south and
southwest, and by sheet piling along a section of the North Dock. It is still open to Resurrection
Bay along the west and northwest sides.
Unlike a rock rip -rap breakwater, the gravel -filled interconnecting sheet pile cellular cofferdams
making up the south breakwater require regular maintenance to prevent failure.
• Monitor and repair South Breakwater anodes, as needed.
DOCKS
Docks described in the 1980 Century-Quadra concept included an inner dock along the north basin
shoreline, deep -water sheet pile cell breakwater and dock enclosing the basin, a ship repair dock,
a boat ramp, and other miscellaneous docks. A ship repair dock, small fish processing dock, barge
ramp, and medium draft cargo dock have been constructed and are in operation.
There is a growing demand for additional general purpose moorage dock space.
(,rode,- „sift etie,, 4 t4is times Completed

• Surface the North Dock and staging areas with concrete, asphalt, crushed rock, or Roto-
Mill (crushed asphalt) including the installation of drainage pipes. Part of the North Dock
is paved.
0 The Barge ramp has been repaired and is being utilized.
• Maintain the Fisheries Dock per lease agreement. Will be under new ownership soon.
Completed
The Shiplift Dock is maintained per a Maintenance and Operating (M&O) agreement with the
Syncrolift lessee.
• Repair or replace Syncrolift dock ladders, bumpering system and corrosion control of the
pipe piling in the splash zone by application of a protective coating.
• Monitor maintenance of the Shiplift Dock per M&O agreement for the useful life of the
facility.
SHIPLIFT OPERATIONS
Shiplift Operations are divided between the mobile 315 ton Travelift and the 5000 long ton
Syncrolift platform. The Syncrolift was an integral part of the original SMIC concept plan. The
Travelift was purchased and put into operation by the City in 1990 and upgraded to a 315 ton
Travelift in 2015 to fill the demand for lifting vessels too small to economically use the Syncrolift
platform but too large for the City's 50 ton Travelift.
A number of improvements relative to the 315 ton Travelift operation have been identified.
Expand existing water and electrical systems in the boat storage area.
Encourage the development of full -service work stations for major maintenance/
construction projects on vessels in order to limit the degree of maintenance allowed in the
storage area.
Provide additional restrooms, as needed.
The Syncrolift, although owned by the City, is operated by a contractor through a Maintenance
and Operating Agreement.
UPLANDS
The Uplands forming SMIC were for the most part created from the material dredged during the
formation of the basin. The original design called for a grade of 18 feet above MLLW. The roads
are to grade, but some of the land is below desired grade. Drainage ditches were placed along
Delphin and Olga Streets and the north property line to divert water runoff in the summer. During
winter, ditches and culverts freeze causing runoff to pool in the lower areas behind roads.
Provide engineer -designed drainage.
Fill and grade the storage area to the correct elevation for the continued improvement of
drainage. Continuing the process.
Add to Article 18 of all new leases, under Maintenance, "Do not push snow into ditches."
MANAGEMENT
GOAL: A management level that is responsive to the needs of its customers and users,
adequately serves the public's needs, protects the City's investment, and ensures public
safety.
Security and concerns related to potential environmental pollution grow as the number of boats,
cargo, and equipment on -site increases. Sufficient revenues are necessary for effective on -site
management and security of this public facility.
• Seek a rate of return from the use of public facilities, land assets, and equipment that will
adequately cover deferred maintenance and replacement costs.
- Examine electric rate method of calculating charges to users.
- Examine credit card rate method of calculating charges to users.
• Continue to review the Upland Boat Work Policy and Best Management Practices to ensure
compliance with the Clean Water Act and Local, State, and Federal laws and regulations
where they apply.
• Ensure that the facility and uses are consistent with the requirements of the Maritime
Security Act of 2002 33.CFR 104.105 and maintain the Facility Use Plan.
6
LAND USE
GOAL: Sound, maximized, and coordinated development of private and public uplands and
facilities in support of the needs of the users and visitors.
PLATTING
The City has formulated a subdivision of SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek Valley. The
subdivision plat dedicates roads and provides as -built utility and access easements. It creates legal
lots for existing leases and leaves the majority of the SMIC area in blocks.
• Maintain an accurate map through survey and plat amendments for all current and future
leases.
LAND VALUES
In order to provide adequate public services and maintenance at SMIC, it is important that the City
receive a fair market value —the current rate is 8% annually of the appraised value —for the use of
its limited land assets.
Adjust the annual rental payment every five years. The adjusted annual rental payment
shall be the appraised fair market rental value of the leased land at the highest and best use
of the leased land. Lands were appraised in 2020; next appraisal due in 2025.
Increase the annual rental payment every year in an amount that reflects the increase, if
any, in the cost of living for the previous year as stated in the Consumer Price Index, All
Urban Consumers, Anchorage, Alaska Area, All Items 1967100 ("CPI'), as published by
the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
LAND USES
SMIC is zoned Industrial. The Seward Zoning Code, Table 15.10.225 Land Uses Allowed,
establishes what uses are allowed within that district. Uses allowed within the SMIC should focus
on strengthening and enhancing the area as a center for marine and other compatible industries.
• Review Table 15.10.225 to ensure the uses listed are compatible with the overall intent of
the SMIC area.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Under State statutes, the City is required to provide public access along Spring Creek, Fourth of
July Creek, and Resurrection Bay. Although the area is principally industrial, limited recreation
opportunities can be made available without interfering with surrounding industrial uses.
• Maintain access from Nash Road to the mouth of Spring Creek and provide a camping
area, and include signage of the access route.
Completed
MARKETING
GOAL: A comprehensive marketing program primarily targeting fisheries, ship repair, and
marine transportation industries along with a healthy and complementary mix of
commercial support businesses.
Current City marketing efforts include: attendance at trade shows, overseas trade missions,
brochures, and advertising.
• Maintain a sign along Nash Road and central to the SMIC area showing what lands are
available for lease (Appendix Exhibit E).
• Maintain a fair market value base line from which leases will be negotiated.
• Continue to encourage multiple users.
• Evaluate utility rates to encourage more usage while ensuring a fair return to the public
utility system.
• Continue to support the Seward Chamber of Commerce as the marketing arm of the City
of Seward.
9
TRANSPORTATION
GOAL: An adequate transportation infrastructure that will serve the needs of the industrial
complex, allow for growth, and attract new business to the community.
ROADS
Nash Road provides the only ground access to SMIC and the Fourth of July Creek area. To
adequately serve SMIC and attract new industries, it is of the utmost importance to maintain and
improve the public road system to the highest standard economically possible.
• Postpone paving interior SMIC streets until site and utility developments are completed.
PARKING
Although parking has not been a problem in the past, as more activity develops it will become
imperative that vehicles park in designated areas off public roads and away from equipment
activity.
• Ensure that all lease sites include adequate area to comply with parking requirements set
forth in the zoning code, and that lessees provide on -site parking for employees and
customers.
• Maintain signage in parking areas in support of the public docks.
AIRPORT
Although not directly associated with SMIC, having a well -maintained airport is an important
transportation link for the delivery of parts, goods, and services to the industrial center businesses.
• Continue to work with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities to
improve airport facilities and protect it from river flooding and erosion.
10
PUBLIC FACILITIES & SERVICES
GOAL: A full range of public facilities and services adequate to provide a safe and
comfortable work environment for users and visitors.
PUBLIC FACILITIES
Public Facilities are currently limited from available to non -available.
• Include construction of an additional public restroom/shower facility in the City's Capital
Project Plan.
• Improve paving, fill, fencing, and storm water drainage collection and treatment
infrastructure as development occurs.
PUBLIC SAFETY
The distance from town limits police coverage to an occasional patrol and also increases fire
response time. Although a pumper/ladder truck is located in the harbor storage building, there are
no scheduled trained fire department personnel on -site to operate them. The fire truck is staged on -
site and ready for volunteer personnel.
• Evaluate each new development as to its impact on fire and police services.
• Complete water system to loop all lines or upsize all cross -feeder lines and provide
additional fire hydrants as needed.
• Identify and reserve a site for a fire station to serve the Fourth of July Valley area.
• Include a separate fire station in Capital Project Plan, to accommodate more and/or larger
equipment and supplies to support increased industrial development. Possibly include a
joint small office for Seward Police.
• Explore possible cooperative arrangements with Spring Creek Correctional Facility staff
to provide initial fire or other public safety needs.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Public Utilities such as primary water, sewer, and electrical service systems have not been
extended throughout the undeveloped SMIC areas (Appendix Exhibits F1-F3). The cost of
extending these utilities creates a disincentive to the establishment of smaller businesses.
• Improve the water and electrical systems in areas associated with the 315 ton Travelift to
accommodate increased public use.
• Include in City capital planning the extension of electrical, sewer, and water throughout
the industrial area.
• Support updating Seward City Code to facilitate utility extension development.
• Continue to place all electric utilities below ground.
is
ENVIRONMENT & WASTE MANAGEMENT
GOAL: A high level of environmental regulatory compliance and a clean work environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
The objective of the City is to maintain a clean work environment and to protect the land, water,
and air to the highest degree possible without making the area prohibitive for the type of activities
associated with industrial areas.
• Require compliance with all rules and regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency
and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation.
• Maintain policies and procedures for monitoring and ensuring vessel storage/ repair site
clean-up.
• Maintain and distribute use guidelines to lessees, operators, and users of the area for ship
repair —including minor repairs, sand blasting, and painting.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Waste Management is integral to managing a successful industrial area where large amounts of
waste are generated. Separation of steel, wood, and general garbage is required at the Kenai
Peninsula Borough (KPB) solid waste facility. It is illegal to dump used oil in solid waste
containers.
• Continue implementation and improvements of a program to control the separation,
collection, recycling, and disposal of waste generated at the industrial center in accordance
with established environmental policies and regulations/ requirements of the KPB solid
waste facility.
• Continue to improve used oil collection procedures and disposal facilities to meet the
demands of user groups and to ensure a clean environment.
• Improve methods to monitor waste material disposal to control and reduce the costs
associated with the collection of solid and liquid waste materials.
• Maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
im
APPEARANCE
GOAL: A high standard of aesthetic appearance and cleanliness through landscaping, litter
control efforts, and development of public amenities that are in keeping with the industrial
maritime theme of the area.
LANDSCAPING & BEAUTIFICATION
Industrial areas do not have to be barren and devoid of natural aesthetics. An atmosphere that is
pleasant and attractive to users and visitors alike can be cultivated through thoughtful planning
and landscaping efforts.
• Where possible, reduce scrap metal storage, trash, and other materials that may be
considered offensive to the casual observer.
• Ensure that all businesses comply with City codes regarding the collection and disposal of
trash.
13
SIGNS, ZONING, BUILDINGS
GOAL: A high level of public and private compliance with Seward City Code.
SIGNS
Adequate public signing is important to provide directions, identify streets, point out public
facilities, and post rules and regulations for visitors. Private signing identifies places of business.
• Review public signing to ensure that it is adequate to the needs of the public and the City.
• Ensure private signing meets Seward City Code.
• Maintain a sign along Nash Road identifying and welcoming visitors to the Seward Marine
Industrial Center.
• Maintain a sign denoting lands for lease with contact information.
• Support north and southbound directional signage to SMIC at the corner of the Seward
Highway and Nash Road. Chamber of Commerce reported the state would not allow a sign
for SMIC on the Seward Highway.
ZONING
Zoning code development requirements regulate open space for fire prevention/fighting, air and
light.
Recognize that current zoning codes could limit necessary and appropriate development,
as proposed in Joint Overlays.
Support variance requests for height and set -back requirements as approved by the
Planning & Zoning Commission.
BUILDINGS
Buildings constructed to code are important to ensure safe working conditions and to add to the
community tax base. The City has adopted building, fire, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing
codes.
• Ensure that all structures, permanent or temporary, are constructed to adopted building and
fire code standards.
14
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
GOAL: Adoption of the plan by resolution of the City Council and implementation by all
identified participants.
For the City of Seward to realize the benefits of the SMIC Development Plan and thereby ensure
sound growth and development, actions must be taken not only by the City of Seward but by many
other players within the community and the Borough, State, and Federal Governments.
Following are specific actions which are necessary to ensure the successful implementation of this
Plan:
Adopting a Plan shows commitment and establishes policy. Council should, by resolution,
adopt the Plan based upon recommendations of the Port & Commerce Advisory Board and
the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Use the Plan to guide the City of Seward in the appropriate quality growth and development
of the SMIC. Consistent with its original intent, the Plan will remain flexible. While it is
intended that all actions presented in this Plan will be implemented, it is recognized that
changing conditions in the future may necessitate modifications of planned actions or the
introduction of additional actions to satisfy local needs. The City recognizes the critical
role of plans as key program documents to guide the community's capital budgeting
process.
It is recommended that the SMIC Development Plan be reviewed annually and updated within five
years, or more often as needed. An annual review will help track accomplishments, changes, and
inadvertent omissions.

Proclamations & Awards — None
Alaska Railroad Report. Christy Terry corrected the two bridge replacement items she
noted in her report in the packet; the bridges being replaced were at Miles 24.4 and 25.7 over the
winter. In addition, the railroad would be improving three communications sites between Seward
City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
October 6, 2021 Volume 4, Page
and Portage. She would be attending the Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle. She was still waiting for
the developer/operator to be announced. The cruise ship schedule for 2022 had not changed and
listed 99 cruise ships for Seward.
Smith asked if the bridge replacements would be supported out of Seward or Anchorage.
Terry said the crews would be stationed in Seward, so it would be a boost to Seward's economy.
Jaffa wondered if there was an update on passenger trains. Terry stated there had been
57,859 passengers, which was not terribly far off from 2019. The expectation for next year,
particularly if the cruise ships came, was to be high. In response to Paquette, Terry said a lot of
train passengers could be correlated to an increase in day cruises in the bay; there was a strong
partnership between the railroad and the water tour companies.
Paquette asked about the status of the cruise ships that went to the southeast this year. Terry
said the contingency plans for COVID mitigation were activated promptly and proactively, when
necessary.
Jaffa stated Chugach Electric released an announcement that their revenues were
dramatically down due to COVID, and wondered if the railroad had similar concerns. In response,
Terry said the railroad had received support from federal funds; the Coastal Classic passenger
trains had not suffered. Terry added that another pipe ship was expected to arrive next month, and
both freight and passenger activity was expected to be high next year.
Jaffa commented that a local artist had been selected for the railroad's poster. Terry said
there had been an in-house vote by railroad employees, and local Seward artist Kwangsook
Schaefermeyer had been selected; there would be an artist signing at the Christmas Craft Fair this
year.
Chamber of Commerce Report. Jason Bickling said the new Small Business
Development Center (SBDC) position for Seward should be posted this week and the posting
would be wide -spread for at least two weeks. The chamber was in the midst of designing the layout
for the new marine guide, and ad sales were underway for the visitors guide as well.
In response to Paquette, Bickling confirmed that the chamber was fully staffed. Paquette
asked for an update on the chamber lunches, and Bickling said there would be a virtual chamber
lunch held on October 14, 2021. After that, lunches would resume in person, and sometimes there
would be "After 5" events. Each lunch or event would include presentations followed by mix and
mingle opportunities.
Harbormaster Report. Harbormaster Norm Regis said one harbor admin staff member
had resigned to take a dream job, and the position was currently being advertised. The bid deadline
for the northeast launch ramp was extended to October 14, 2021.
In response to Paquette, Regis said the contract for the cathodic anode replacement would
go to council for approval on Monday. In response to Jaffa, Regis said the yard at SMIC was
City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Meeting Minutes

getting full. Jag was currently working on the USCG Mustang, and had received the contract to
work on a navy vessel.
Other Reports and Announcements — None

NEW BUSINESS
Other New Business Items
Review the schedule for the Alaska Municipal League (AML) Conference in November,
determine attendees, and consider the potential impact on the November 17, 2021 PACAB
work session.
City Clerk Brenda Ballou explained that AML conducted a Local Government
Conference every year in Anchorage, and she wanted to make all the boards and commissions
aware that they could participate in the conference to receive training is they wished. In addition
to the in person conference, AML would be holding a Newly Elected Officials virtual training.
Regis pointed out that the conference dates coincided with PACAB's November 17, 2021
work session, and that he would be in Seattle that week for the Pacific Marine Expo. In response
to Jaffa, Regis said in his absence, he would send another representative from the Harbormaster's
office to attend the work session.
Update on Interconnect Policy by Electric Utility Manager Rob Montgomery.
Electric Utility Manager Rob Montgomery provided a laydown, stating it was the same
information he had recently provided to city council. He participated in some Solarize Seward
virtual workshops, and had collaborated with a vendor called Renewable Energy Systems on the
installations of solar panels.
Montgomery added that the city website for renewable energy interconnect had been
updated, and now included a clear step-by-step guide. The webpage also linked to the city's
interconnect application, which had been streamlined and was easy to complete. As well,
Montgomery said the electric tariff had been updated to clarify definitions and calculation
formulas. Montgomery recommended that residents do their homework to make sure they
understood their options were so they were confident about their choices.
Over the course of just this year, the Electric Department had increased the number of bi-
directional meters from three to 15, and Montgomery expected to continue adding more throughout
next year.
City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
October 6, 2021 Volume 4, Page
Paquette wondered what the impact on excess energy was having on the department's
revenues. Montgomery said there was a minimum charge for all customers which covered the
infrastructure. In response to Paquette, Montgomery said Chugach Electric had taken a revenue hit
due to businesses closing from the COVID pandemic; large commercial spaces had been closed,
and there was a marked increase in people working from home. Montgomery expected the
potential of an increase in Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA), which was a pass -through charge
to customers. Jaffa said Chugach had purchased Municipal Light & Power, which served more
commercial accounts than residential; he thought that may have also had an impact on Chugach's
revenues.
Smith commended Montgomery for the increase in bi-directional meter installations. In
response, Montgomery said Renewable Energy Systems was assisting customers with completing
the applications. One of the critical considerations for the electric department in working with that
vendor was to ensure the appropriate shut off protections were installed to protect workers.
Paquette stated her understanding was that, if a customer had regular electric but wanted
to go solar, they would contact the vendor, fill out the application, the city swapped out the meter
and that was pretty much it. Montgomery concurred, and said sometimes lines needed to be moved,
but Paquette had pretty well summarized the process. Paquette commended Montgomery on this
accomplishment this year.
Discuss pre -approved designs and net metering agreement.
Jaffa stated that this item was covered in the discussion that just concluded.
Review letter of support signed by Climate Action Committee representative and discuss
next steps.
Paquette had been engaged over the summer with climate change representatives from all
municipalities across the state. The group was organized by the University of Alaska, and the result
of the work by this group was a letter that was sent to US Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan
Sullivan, US Congressman Don Young, and the National Climate Task Force among others. The
crux of the letter was that Alaska had a long history with the oil industry, but needed to move
towards more environmentally friendly alternatives; the letter requested financial support.
Paquette had provided her support for the letter because she was on PACAB's climate change
committee, but thought she made it clear that she was not speaking for the entire city. Paquette
wished to make the board aware of this exchange she had. She would have preferred to bring it to
PACAB and council before submitting, but the timing did not allow. Paquette thought Seward had
been awarded $40,000 to put towards education, but she didn't have that information with her.
Paquette wondered what PACAB would be doing going forward with the own climate
action committee. Jaffa recalled that PACAB's climate change committee consisted of himself,
Paquette, and former chair Laura Schneider. Jaffa encouraged Paquette to stick with it, and to keep
the board apprised of developments; if she could get more information about the funding, that
would be good.
City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
October 6, 2021 Volume 4, Page
Smith appreciated Paquette keeping the board apprised of the activities; he cautioned that
the scope of PACAB's role shouldn't be opened up too broadly. Smith said his wishes would be
for Paquette to bring items and issues to the board, and allow the board to determine what they
wished to pursue, to take action on themselves, or to bring forward to council. Jaffa concurred with
Smith, and added that "port" and "commerce" could be interpreted many ways. Paquette said she
would stick with it.
Discuss the Formation of a Tourism/Hospitality Education Platform and Schedule a Work
Session.
Paquette said she had developed an outline for the board to consider for taking the next
step to address developing a local program; there appeared to be a number of agencies and entities
in the area that could potentially be pulled together to address this topic.
Jaffa said he would be willing to create a committee along with Paquette, and perhaps one
more member, to start working on this topic. Smith was a little unsure, but was willing to serve on
the committee.
Motion (Jaffa/Smith) Create a Tourism & Hospitality
Committee consisting of Smith, Jaffa, and
Paquette.
Motion Passed
Unanimous
Discuss having a joint work session with the Historic Preservation Commission to review the
draft of the Downtown Historic District Design Standards & Guidelines.
Jaffa was not aware of this request. Ballou said there appeared to have been a breakdown
in communication; at some point, the Historic Preservation Commission expressed a desire to
review draft design guidelines for the downtown historic district with PACAB. There was a memo
included in the September 1, 2021 PACAB meeting packet to this effect, but it was erroneously
put under informational items in the back of the packet, and escaped notice. Ballou stated that
when HP was ready to bring this forward to schedule a joint work session with PACAB, she would
let PACAB know.
On a separate note, Paquette wondered if the board wished to discuss the possibility of
cancelling the November 17, 2021 work session, since it appeared that many people would be
away at the AML Conference or the Pacific Marine Expo at that time. Lawrence stated he would
be absent for both the November 3, 20221 PACAB meeting and the November 17, 2021 PACAB
work session. Ballou stated that Hughes would be away through November. Paquette was
confident that even though Lawrence and Hughes would be gone in November, the board would
have new members. In response to Smith, Ballou said applications for new members that were
submitted by October 19, 2021 would go to council for consideration in time for the November 3,
2021 PACAB meeting.
City of Seward, Alaska Port and Commerce Advisory Board Meeting Minutes
October 6, 2021 Volume 4, Page
By unanimous consent, the board cancelled the October 20, 2021 work session; the board currently
consisted of five members, and it was known that two members would be out of state at that time.

COMMENTS
Regis said Jag had the USCG cutter in for repairs, and the state ferry Aurora was being
lifted today or tomorrow for repairs. The state ferry Tustemena would be repaired over the winter.
Lawrence congratulated Montgomery on the success of the interconnect policy and
implementation; citizens had been asking for this for a very long time. He thanked Brandii
Holmdahl for providing the presentation today.
Smith appreciated the presentation from Holmdahl as well. He noted this was the second
meeting that AVTEC had been mentioned; AVTEC was under the Department of Labor and they
offered a wide variety of training programs. Information about former graduates and upcoming
graduates was available from AVTEC for any businesses wanting to seek new employees.
Hughes thanked the board for the meeting today.
Paquette appreciated Holmdahl's presentation. She was reminded again today about the
lack of affordable housing in Seward; one of the hairdressers in town she knew had moved away
because she couldn't find housing. Paquette looked forward to serving on the committee to
examine the tourism and hospitality industry.
Jaffa encouraged everyone to participate in PACAB and to get involved in the community.

Project (CRW# 77101.00)
Subject: Review Summary
Background
The City of Seward has operated its wastewater treatment lagoon at Lowell Point since 1980. Since
1993, the lagoon has featured the two -cell configuration with which the City currently operates. Using
this configuration, the City has been, with some particular exceptions, meeting its discharge permit
requirements. The lagoons were drained to remove sludge in 2015 and then again in 2020 to repair
aeration line breaks. Each time shortly thereafter, water quality and/or odor problems ensued. In the
case of the 2020 event, the odor issue was exacerbated because one cell could not be refilled until the
following spring after repair of the line breaks. The City has since addressed the odor issues with the
filling and resumed aeration of the restored cell, the use of sodium nitrate and sludge -reducing bacteria
(SRB).
Lagoon Configuration and Operation
The Lowell Point wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) treats wastewater generated by the entire city.
The 2021 population of Seward is estimated to be about 2,850. However, the City has been using
round -number estimates of 3,000 residents and 1,000 non-residents as the average daily number of
users throughout the year. The user population tends to increase during the summer season, with an
reported peak of around 20,000 users during the July 41h weekend. The City's sewer collection system
conveys the regional wastewater to Pump Station 3, which is located at the beginning of Lowell Point
Road on the southwest corner of town. From this lift station, the wastewater is pumped approximately
2 miles south to the lagoon system at Lowell Point. After treatment, the water is conveyed from the
lagoon system northward, about % mile back up the road, to be discharged into Resurrection Bay
through an ocean outfall.
The lagoon features two aerated basins, each having a water volume of approximately 18 million gallons
and a water surface area of about 3 acres. When at their maximum operating volumes, each basin has
water depths ranging from 20 to 22 feet. The basins are separated by a bisecting concrete wall, to the
top of which a floating baffle curtain is attached. Water flows through each basin from influent and to
effluent pipes located at each end. Although the yard piping configuration allows the use of one or two
basins, and a possible reverse flow condition, the aeration system is currently arranged such that
wastewater needs to flow from the north basin to the south basin. The first (north) basin is aerated
with a combination of 69 static tubes and 40 Biodomes, with 58 static tubes grouped relatively close
together for aerating about 25% of the influent end of the first basin. The Biodomes aerate the back end
of the first cell with the remaining 11 static tubes. The second basin is aerated with just 6 static tubes,
with the assistance of two surface aerators, as needed.
According to the Lowell Point WWTF O&M Plan, the facility uses two 40 HP blowers to supply air to the
static tube aeration system. Each blower is capable of conveying 450 SCFM for a total maximum output

of 900 SCFM. A diesel -driven back-up blower can convey the same 900 SCFM output. The Biodomes are
supplied with air by a 30 HP blower, each with a minimum of 2 SCFM. Assuming that the static tube
aeration system is supplied by both blowers operating at full speed, and that the Biodomes are supplied
with the foregoing flow rate, the estimated air supply rates to each aeration system are summarized in

The City is permitted to treat a maximum of 880,000 GPD (0.88 MGD). Other permitted effluent
requirements are summarized in Table 2 below. BOD = biochemical oxygen demand; TSS = total
suspended solids; DO = dissolved oxygen. On a scale of 0 to 14, pH refers to the degree of acidity (less
than 7.0) or alkalinity (greater than 7.0) of the water, with 7.0 being neutral.

The City is also required to monitor effluent levels of other parameters such as, total ammonia,
enterococci bacteria and carbonaceous BOD (CBOD).
Based on Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) shared by the City from Sept 2019 through mid -May
2021, the combined variability of various monitored parameters are summarized below in Table 3:

Influent BOD and TSS loadings are calculated from the concentrations and flowrate variability reflected
in the tables above. Since only effluent levels have been measured, estimated influent ammonia
loadings are calculated based on typical concentration values for domestic wastewater (avg. 25 mg/L;
max 35 mg/L; min 15 mg/L; std dev 4 mg/L). From these values, oxygen requirements in lb/day are
estimated and shown in Table 5 below. These values are averaged over the volume of the entire lagoon.

To obtain the estimated oxygen requirements need to biologically stabilize BOD, TSS and ammonia, the
following factors are used:
• 1.4 lb of 02 per lb of BOD. This factor is a conventional amount used in wastewater treatment
design.
0.7 lb of 02 per lb of TSS. This factor (assumed to be 50% of BOD 02 requirement) is
conservatively used to estimate the additional oxygen requirement associated with TSS (such as
algae) and sludge aging. This factor is not always used in oxygen calculations, but is used in this
study as a consideration for treating additional oxygen demand generated as a result of long
detention times in the lagoon cells (which favor algal growth and sludge aging).
4.6 lb of 02 per lb of ammonia -nitrogen. This factor is used to estimate the oxygen needed for
nitrification, to convert ammonia (NH3) to nitrates (NO3). Nitrification is assumed to
substantially occur only during the summer months when water temperatures are warmer. Use
of this oxygen requirement amounts to the difference between the summer and winter total
oxygen requirements shown in the table above.
It needs to be noted that the total maximum and minimum oxygen requirements indicated in Table 5
above are extreme values, assuming that the maximum and minimum of the BOD, TSS and ammonia
parameters occur on the same day. This type of occurrence is unlikely and shouldn't be used in the
evaluation of the capabilities of the treatment process. Instead, the average values are reviewed with
the standard deviation amounts added or subtracted. As a simplified way to characterize the variability
of these parameters, the standard deviation calculation is used to provide a sense of how dispersed
measurements within a data group are. Measurements falling within one standard deviation from the
average are assumed to occur approximately 2/3rds of the data group timeframe. Relative to the
maximum and minimum parameter values, these measurements therefore have a greater probability of
occurring concurrently. Therefore, "greater -than -average" values of flow, TSS, BOD, fecal coliforms (FC)
and ammonia are calculated as conservative amounts by adding the standard deviation to the average
and summarized in the above table for oxygen requirements. "Less -than -average" conditions are

Aeration Requirements
The Lowell Point WWTF is assumed to have been originally designed as a "partial -mix" treatment
system, meaning that oxygen is provided only for biological treatment and not for also keeping solids
suspended (as would be the case in a "complete -mix' system). With a partial -mix system, solids will
settle and accumulate at the bottoms of lagoon cells, where further treatment slowly occurs by
anaerobic decomposition. In this manner, the lagoon system also functions facultatively, wherein both
aerobic and anaerobic processes provide biological treatment. The first cell functions more aerobically
than the second cell, which has substantially less aeration and functions more like a facultative lagoon.
Based on the recent DMR data summarized above and using approximate calculations and depending on
flow and wastewater conditions, it appears that the biological oxygen requirements can exceed the
aeration capacity of the WWTF (980 SCFM—all blowers operating). If TSS and sludge are considered as
oxygen demand generators, then aeration requirements more than double the amount of air needed
without considering TSS. Ammonia is considered only for summertime conditions, when water
temperatures are warmer for facilitating nitrification.
For purposes of these calculations, the population of Seward is projected to increase by 4.5% in the next
10 years and 9% in the next 20 years. This would add approximately 130 to 260 persons, respectively,
as year-round users. At 125 GCPD water usage per capita, this growth would add 0.016 to 0.032 MGD to
the average influent flow and approximately 22 to 44 Ibs of BOD to the daily average.
These calculations are summarized in Table 6 below for both the current timeframe and Year 2041 for
projected, future average conditions. Conditions that appear to exceed the facility's aeration capability
are shaded in orange/beige.

General conclusions drawn from these results are as follows:
• With exception to the case of treating BOD, TSS and ammonia concurrently, when the lagoon
system is operating in lower -than -average to average conditions, it appears to have sufficient
aeration capability (i.e. at 980 SCFM—all blowers operating).
• When treating for BOD, TSS and ammonia concurrently in average conditions, the lagoon system
appears to have insufficient aeration capability.
• When treating only for BOD (such as during the winter season) and assuming no TSS-generated
oxygen demand, the lagoon system appears to have sufficient aeration capability in greater -
than -average conditions.
• When treating for BOD, TSS and ammonia concurrently at greater -than -average conditions, or
combinations thereof, the lagoon system appears to have insufficient aeration capability.
• Using typical, "rule -of -thumb" performance values in the aeration calculation, the use of fine -
bubble aeration appears to be nearly twice as efficient as the coarse bubble aeration for the
same treatment conditions. For greater -than -average conditions, the fine -bubble aeration
requirement is nearly met within the air flow capabilities of the WWTF.
• Except for the case where only the treatment of BOD is considered (i.e., wintertime operation
without regard to any TSS and sludge -imposed oxygen demands), the treatment facility does not
appear to have sufficient aeration capabilities for when flowrates approach the maximum
permitted flow rate of 0.88 MGD, at average wastewater conditions.
• Accounting for projected user population growth for the next 20 years, average wastewater
conditions increase a minor amount and thereby impose a minor additional oxygen demand on
the aeration system.
With regard to meeting the DO discharge permit requirement for the mixing zone, the lagoon effluent
receives a substantial amount of aeration as it freefalls several feet into the discharge piping of the flow
control structure. This arrangement and continuing open channel aeration within the discharge piping

City of Seward WWTF Review
Review Summary
largely mitigates any effects in the mixing zone from deficient DO in the wastewater lagoon. Based on
the DMR data, the City has for the most part been meeting the DO permit requirement.
Discussion
While the foregoing results indicate shortfalls in aeration capacity in various scenarios, they do not
necessarily indicate that the facility's permit requirements will not be achieved, or that odors will ensue.
Flowrates and organic levels entering the plant are constantly varying, and short-term surges can be
readily attenuated in the large water volume of the two basins. Permit violations and odors become
more likely when surges are prolonged (such as in a large, extended rainfall event), when overloading
wastewater conditions happen concurrently (such as when high BOD, ammonia and algae levels occur at
the same time during the summer), when contaminant conditions become chronic (such as the build-up
of aging sludge) or if a prolonged loss or insufficiency of aeration occurred. Nevertheless, an aeration
system that is capable of treating both short-term and long-term wastewater conditions will be an
essential part of mitigating or avoiding permit and odor issues arising from significant events like the
foregoing examples.
The user population growth is anticipated to be slow for the foreseeable future, and flowrates and
organic loading rates are expected to increase a relatively minor amount during this timeframe.
However, as these rates slowly approach the aeration capacity of the WWTF, overloading conditions will
be experienced more frequently. The results summarized in Table 6 and their associated conclusions
reflect this potential. While the lagoon currently operates mostly around average conditions, for a
significant degree of frequency, it approaches or exceeds greater -than -average conditions, and
therefore approaches oxygen demands that tend to exceed the aeration capacity of the facility. These
wastewater conditions would impact the aeration capacity as discussed below:
The influent biochemical oxygen demand (BODs) is a constant condition and always present in
various concentrations. The WWTF is configured to provide most of its aeration treatment
capability in the first cell, and particularly in the front 25% of first cell's water volume. This
approach intends to largely stabilize, mix and disperse influent wastewater as it enters the
lagoon, leaving a lower oxygen demand as the wastewater migrates to the back end and into
the second cell. During periods of high loading, it is suspected that the dissolved oxygen
provided by the aeration system in this front zone is substantially consumed, leaving only low
DO concentrations to enter the second lagoon cell. If sufficient BOD remains in the water
entering the second basin, the aeration system of this cell could be overloaded a result. If
prolonged, this condition would tend to produce anaerobic conditions in the wastewater and
associated septicity and odors.
TSS and sludge -related oxygen demands depend on the presence and concentration of BOD-
producing TSS constituents (such as algae) and aging sludge. At high concentrations, algae can
add significant amounts of BOD, although algae can produce oxygen as well. When algae die,
interior substances disperse into the water and add to BOD. As previously mentioned, aging
sludge also feeds soluble BOD and nutrients back into the water. The degree that BOD is
augmented by these sources is dependent on how much is present in the lagoon system. The
more BOD produced by these interior sources, the less effective the aeration system will be in
treating influent contaminants. These conditions would tend to be more prevalent during
summertime (when nitrification and denitrification is more active), at night time (when algae is
undergoing respiration) and as sludge accumulates in the basins over the course of years.

City of Seward WWTF Review
Review Summary
Ammonia is normally present in raw wastewater and therefore always presents a potential
oxygen demand. Nitrifying bacteria require oxygen and warm water temperatures to actively
convert ammonia to nitrates in the nitrification process. During the winter, ammonia reduction
typically becomes negligible. Further, with low DO levels, the nitrification process is
substantially inhibited. To counter this condition, the Biodomes are designed to provide
nitrification to some extent, the degree of which is uncertain for this study. Based on the
measured ammonia levels in the effluent, it is presumed that only a limited amount of
nitrification is provided by the Biodomes, or that ammonia is being fed back into the wastewater
from aging sludge in the second basin. Nevertheless, with sufficient water temperatures and DO
levels, the nitrification process will also impose a oxygen demand that must be addressed by the
aeration system, as well as a demand on alkalinity. If the City is required in the future to
minimize ammonia levels in its mixing zone, then the size of aeration system will need to be
reviewed and modified as needed.
While aeration provides a critical part in the biological treatment and mixing of wastewater, other
processes are also involved in meeting the permit objectives. The relatively large water volume of each
lagoon cell produces long detention times and accommodates slower biological treatment rates and a
substantial amount of settling. It is likely that important contributions to the overall BOD and TSS
removal at the WWTF is achieve through the settling of solids and anaerobically in the sludge blanket.
However, these other mechanisms can eventually become detrimental. As sludge accumulations
increase, the tendency for solids carry-over also increases, and the effluent water quality diminishes as a
result. Other issues can result from sludge accumulations. As the sludge blanket ages, soluble BOD and
nutrients are dispersed back into the water above, which imposes an additional oxygen demand on the
treatment system. Denitrification can also occur in aging sludge blankets, which releases nitrogen gas
and causes sludge to float to the water surface. Further, once or twice a year, the turning over of
temperature -stratified water can cause sludge and associated by-products to rise to the water surface,
causing strong odors. The accumulated sludge therefore needs to be reduced or physically removed
from the basins, dewatered and disposed of on a regular basis. Doing so will appreciably complement
the benefits of aeration, and in avoiding or mitigating acute and chronic events that can arise.
Conclusions and Recommendations:
The Lowell Point WWTF appears to be operating largely within its overall treatment capacity and will
likely do so for the foreseeable future. However, it appears that the potential exists for its treatment
capacity to be overloaded on a relatively frequent basis, when flow rates and organic loading rates are
high, and when the oxygen demand is increased by nitrification and TSS-related sources. The City is
encouraged to evaluate this potential in a more comprehensive effort. As this review is a relatively high-
level evaluation, further considerations and assessments are recommended below to provide a more
accurate understanding of lagoon conditions:
Using a multi -function portable probe, perform summertime DO, pH and temperature
measurement profiles in grid pattern from both lagoons during a period of non -rainy conditions
and at least 3 days after a significant rain or high user population event. Collect and record
measurements from at least the upper quarter depth, half depth and % depth of the
wastewater. Ideally, measurements would also be taken from just above the sludge blanket and
at a couple feet below the water surface. This effort will provide a good snapshot of the health
of the lagoon wastewater when conditions will tend to be most taxing on the aeration system.

City of Seward WWTF Review
Review Summary
During the same effort, from at least four separate locations in each lagoon aeration zone (front
and back zones of both basins), collect composite samples of BOD, TSS, carbonaceous BOD
(CBOD), soluble carbonaceous BOD (SCBOD), ammonia, total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), alkalinity,
nitrites+nitrates. These tests will help discern the extent of nitrification and TSS-related oxygen
demand sources.
• Consider the eventual supplementing or replacement of the existing coarse bubble aeration
system with a fine -bubble aeration system. With the ability to more efficiently oxygenate water,
especially with the large water depth of the lagoons, subsurface fine -bubble aeration could
sufficiently treat greater -than -average wastewater conditions for nearly the same energy
requirements as the existing aeration system. Improved oxygenation will also reduce the
tendency for odors, including the twice -yearly water turnover events during spring and fall
seasons.
• Consider replacing the existing blowers with new, more -efficient units having a higher aeration
output to increase the capacity of the existing aeration system for improved treatment of
greater -than -average conditions. Operate the blowers with variable frequency drives based on
continuous DO measurements to improve power consumption.
• Consider modifying the influent and effluent header piping to provide additional inlets and
outlets serving each basin. Doing so would improve the mixing, dispersal and collection of
wastewater to and from the lagoon basins, and reduce short-circuiting. The relatively large
water volumes of the two basins tends to mitigate the effects of short-circuiting.
• Continue implementing a regular sludge removal program. Consider the procurement of a
floating dredge unit to reduce the need for dewatering the lagoon basins for this effort.
• The use of sodium nitrate could continue to be used by the City as a relatively quick and
temporary measure for addressing odors. This method does not appear to be a good
permanent solution for proactively mitigating or preventing odors.
