COMMUNITY LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
THANK YOUS!
Mt. Marathon Movie Thank you!
We thank Max Romey for his generous permission to show the 3022 ft. movie produced in 2015 about the
Mount Marathon Race every year! The movie was shown at 4pm on July 1, 2 & 3. We were closed on race
day, July 4t' a COS observed holiday.
Iditarod Exhibit Upgrade Project Thank You
Thanks to the generosity of the Seward Iditarod Trail Blazers, the Kenai Mountains-Turnagain Arm
(KMTA) Corridor Communities Association, and the City of Seward, the products for the upgrade planned
by previous Curator Fried are complete and installed. This includes a large wall mural of Rainy Pass, a pop
out of Dan Seavey on his sled(both Jeff Schultz photos) and an Iditarod Race sign. The Iditarod exhibit is work
in progress and is far from complete.
The purpose of the upgrade was to distinguish the difference between the Iditarod National Historic Trail and
the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to promote the historical significance of the Trail to Seward's history. With
the tremendous help of the Resurrection Bay Historical Society(RBHS) volunteers, the old exhibit was de-
installed so the mural could be mounted. Objects were cleaned and reinstalled according to relevance and
condition (a few pieces need further conservation). A large case was exchanged for a smaller case to gain more
wall space to better tell the story of the Trail, and provides an opportunity to further separate the objects and
story of the Trail and Race. Trial items and Race items are also now located on separate walls. We thank the
RBHS volunteers: Colleen Kelly, Mark Kansteiner, Shannon Kovac, Marc Kovac, Linda Lasota, and
Mark Luttrell for their hard work and help!
Chasing the Moon Sneak Peak Thank You
Thank you to Alaska Public Media, WGBH and PBS for sponsoring and supporting a sneak peek at the new
PBS American Experience documentary, Chasing the Moon on June 26"'. The show was enjoyed by 22 people
and the activities by another eight people. The Share Your Moon Memories interactive story board will remain
up for all to participate in an enjoy through mid-July.

Chasing the Moon, a 6-hour film shown in three nights by Robert Stone, reimagines the race to the moon for a
new generation, up-ending much of the conventional mythology surrounding the effort. The series recasts the
Space Age as a fascinating stew of scientific innovation, political calculation, media spectacle, visionary
impulses, and personal drama.

ELECTRIC
Number of new Job Orders started since Jan. 1, 2019: (23)
1) The Electric Department welcomes our new Executive Assistant Tatiana Iachim who started May 30th.
We continue to ask your patience and understanding as we train Tatiana and bring her up to speed on her
duties and responsibilities. Initially we are very encouraged by her eagerness and ability to comprehend
new things. It seems that Tatiana will be a great addition to the electric department and City of Seward.
2) TelAlaska started their summer undergrounding project burying communication cables in the alleys and
intersections from Jefferson Street north. They are very cooperative in working with the City to reduce
these impacts. The electric department researched the opportunity of jointly working with TelAlaska as
they do this project, however, we discovered that the preparation and cost would be too great with the
short notice. The Electric Department is going to work with TelAlaska and their contractors to address
some critical areas while the crews are in Seward.
15
3) I am concerned that I excessively worried the rate payers about the meter exchange project when they
don't necessarily need to be. The City changed out approximately 99% of the meters and the utility is
much farther ahead now than we were before the exchange. Even though a customer may have a
demand meter, that does not dictate the rate classification and customers can request their account be
reviewed at any time. I would like to make this clear, I made the mistake by saying that we would make
all commercial meters demand capable. I own up to that mistake and am carefully navigating the utility
to move forward. One of the reasons was intended to give our customers access to more information
about their accounts to help them. Afterwards we discovered the cost to implement this would
additionally cost the utility $200,000 to $300,000 to purchase enough demand meters. This is why I am
reforming the policy for who is getting a demand meter. For the most part we are not discussing
changing customers rates. The electric department employees, the finance department employees and
National Metering did, and are doing, an exceptional job and put the utility in a much better situation
than before the meter exchange. It is getting lost that the City is in a much better place than before the
meter exchange. We are following up on a handful of meter issues that are still outstanding.
4) The City has received the Lowell Canyon Hydroelectric feasibility report and are in the process of
reviewing it. After administration is done with an initial review, it will be added to the next regularly
scheduled PACAB meeting for discussion. The City is moving forward with a hydrologic study as
required for the Department of Natural Resources application for water rights.

FINANCE
The finance department hosted employee benefit specialists from ICMA-RC and Colonial Life, who provided
information on voluntary life insurance, short-term disability insurance, and other benefits available to new and
existing employees. The finance director assisted with the review of the Water/Sewer Classification and Rate
Study RFP, and served on the scoring committee. The city manager, council member Seese, and finance
director Erchinger participated in the Alaska Municipal League Sales Tax Forum in Anchorage on June 6 for
the purpose of discussing a proposal to address potential Online Sales Tax Implementation in Alaska. This
initiative could allow local governments to receive sales tax for items ordered online, allowing for a sharing of
the sales tax burden with online retailers who presently have an advantage over local brick-and-mortar small
businesses. Finance department staff worked with the financial accounting software vendor to facilitate
changes to our accounting software necessitated by the new employee union and its impacts on Payroll
deductions and calculations, to discuss migration to a new server based on the end of the useful life of the
current server, and to modify software to report on employee earnings and benefits going forward, based on
recent changes to the City Code. We are in the process of verifying insurance coverages and deductibles for
property, vehicle, general liability and workers' comp insurance. We are awaiting the draft financial statements
from BDO following their work with Providence Seward and the Seward CHC's financial statements, and once
we receive those draft statements, will be able to update statistical tables and prepare Management's Discussion
and Analysis and the Transmittal letter. Once the final draft document is available, we will schedule an audit
work session with the City Council and an audit presentation to the public during in a regularly scheduled
Council meeting. Finance staff have participated in depositions regarding City legal matters.

BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
Attached for the Council's review and enactment is Ordinance 2019-010 amending the zoning
designation of Lot 23A Marathon Addition Whitehorn Replat from Institutional (INS) to Single
Family Residential (RI).
The applicants, Laura Schneider and Kenneth Caldwell,have stated that they intend to construct a
single-family home for a private residence on the subject parcel. According to Table 15.10.226
Land Uses Allowed, single-family homes are not an allowed use in the Institutional Zoning
District.
Lot 23 Marathon Addition was rezoned from single family RI to INS in 1985 for the purpose of
expanding the Wesleyan nursing home facility, which was formerly located on the adjoining
parcels to the south. In 1987 Lots 23 and 24 Marathon Addition were re-platted, resulting in the
conveyance of 10 feet of Lot 23 to Lot 24, and creating Lot 23A Marathon Addition Whitehorn
Replat, which is approximately 6,347 square feet.
Property owners within three hundred(300)feet of Lot 23A Marathon Addition Whitehorn Replat
were notified of this proposed Rezone. Public notice signs were posted on the property, and all
other public hearing requirements of Seward City Code §15.01.040 Public Hearings were
complied with.
The Planning and Zoning Commission held the public hearing June 4, 2019 and approved
Resolution 2019-009 recommending City Council approval of the rezoning of Lot 23A Marathon
Addition Whitehorn Replat, located at 513 First Avenue, from Institutional(INS)to Single-Family
Residential (R1). No public comments were received by staff or during the Public Hearing.
INTENT:

(INS) to Single Family Residential (R1), bringing the property into conformance with the Land
Use Plan adopted in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

Agenda Item: Ordinance 2019- 012, Harassment and Bullying Prohibited
BACKGROUND &TUSTIFICATION:
Council member Lane seeks to sponsor an ordinance and any necessary policy revisions
expanding the scope of the City of Seward prohibitions against harassment in the workplace.
To this end, at Council's June 19, 2019 regular Council meeting, Council directed the newly
created policies and procedures update work group to review and revise City of Seward policies
and laws regarding harassment and bullying. In order to assist Council member Lane in
reaching her goals and spur legislative action regarding harassment and bullying conduct, it is
necessary to have an ordinance and/or resolution before Council on such matters. Thus, this
ordinance, and its accompanying resolution directing the work group to review and update
City harassment policies provides Council member Lane, Council as a whole, the public, and
the administration a starting place for their considerations.
INTENT:
The intent of this ordinance is to capture the changes requested by Council member
Lane and to tie the laws governing harassment with the applicable policies previously adopted
by Council. The language in the Code currently prohibits only sexual harassment and only
applies to City employees. The complaint and consideration processes in the Code do not align
with the more expansive prohibitions, protections, and requirements in the City's most recent
policy adoptions.

harassment policy, or opposing unlawful discrimination or harassment.
V. Policy
A. It is the policy of DHS to maintain a work environment free from
harassment on the basis of an individual's race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, parental status, political
affiliation or any other basis protected by law.
B. Prohibited harassment includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome conduct,
whether verbal, nonverbal, or physical, that has the purpose or effect of
unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an
intimidating, offensive, or hostile environment as a result of the individual's race,
color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital
status, parental status, political affiliation or any other basis protected by law.
Among the types of unwelcome conduct prohibited by this policy are epithets,
slurs, stereotyping, intimidating acts, and the circulation or posting of written or
graphic materials that show hostility toward individuals because of their protected
status. Acts of physical violence, and actual, implied, or veiled threats of
violence, are forms of prohibited harassment. Any form or manner of threatening
or provoking remarks or threatening gestures in the workplace is prohibited.
DHS prohibits harassment even if does not rise to the level of actionable
harassment under the law. Although a single utterance or act may not rise to a
level that may be actionable under the law, it still has no place at DHS. This
policy prohibits harassment by or of any employee, supervisor, manager,

Rights Office, as well as electronically on their servicing Component website.
C. Sexual harassment is a form of prohibited harassment. Harassing

sexual in nature or whether the individual engaged in harassment and the
individual being harassed are of the same sex. Unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct
based on sex (whether or not it is sexual in nature) constitute sexual harassment
when:
1. Submission to such conduct is either an explicit or implicit term or
condition of employment;
2. Submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as a basis for
making employment decisions; or
3. The conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering
with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, offensive,
or hostile environment.
D. Any person who believes that he or she has been subjected to, or has
been a witness to, harassment in violation of this policy reports the matter
promptly pursuant to procedures established by the Component.
E. Reports of harassment are kept confidential to the fullest extent possible.
DHS does not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting harassment
or assisting another individual to report harassment, participating in an inquiry
into a report of harassment, or opposing discrimination or harassment. Any
person who believes he or she has been subject to retaliation should use the
same reporting procedures as for complaints of harassment. Reports of
harassment are addressed through an appropriate prompt, thorough, and
impartial investigation. DHS takes prompt corrective action when it determines
that harassment has occurred. Any employee found to have engaged in
harassment may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including removal.
F. The Operational Components, the Federal Law Enforcement Training
Center(FLETC), and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) develop procedures
for filing, addressing, and investigating reports of harassment for their respective
employees. The anti-harassment policy and these procedures are posted in a
conspicuous location on the Component's intranet, or for employees who do not
have access to the intranet, in a physical location accessible by those employees
(posting in a conspicuous physical location does not apply outside DHS spaces).

Directive # 256-01
42 Revision # 00
G. The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties develops procedures for
filing, addressing, and investigating reports of harassment for the Office of the
Secretary and the Support Components (except FLETC and OIG). The anti-
harassment policy and these procedures are posted in a conspicuous place on
the DHS intranet, or for employees who do not have access to the intranet, in a
physical location accessible by those employees (posting in a conspicuous
physical location does not apply outside DHS spaces).
H. Appropriate measures are taken to publicize policies and the reporting
procedures. Employees receive the DHS anti-harassment policy and applicable
reporting procedures at least once per year. New employees receive the policy
and procedures when beginning employment. All employees sign an
acknowledgment that they have been provided the policy and procedures—new
employees upon joining DHS and existing employees within 90 days of the
effective date of this Directive.
I. Training is provided to employees, supervisors, and managers so they
understand their rights and responsibilities regarding the policy and procedures.
J. This Directive and the DHS anti-harassment policy do not affect an
employee's right to file an EEO complaint of harassment or discrimination. An
employee's use of the reporting procedure referenced in this Directive does not
result in an individual complaint of discrimination or harassment and does not
take the place of such a complaint.
1. Employees may use the reporting procedure referenced in this
Directive in addition to filing a complaint of harassment or discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, sexual
orientation, parental status, protected genetic information or retaliation by
contacting the servicing Component EEO Office or Civil Rights Office
within 45 days of the alleged harassment. However, employees choosing
to file such a complaint with their own EEO Office or Civil Rights Office
must also report any possible harassment in accordance with their
Component's reporting procedures.
2. Complaints may also be made directly to the Office of Special
Counsel (M _qq_v),, alleging discrimination based upon marital status,
political affiliation, or sexual orientation. The Office of Special Counsel

ATTACHMENT 1
ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to maintain a work
environment free from harassment.
Prohibited harassment includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome conduct, whether
verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct that has the purpose or effect of unreasonably
interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, offensive,
or hostile environment on the basis of an individual's race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, parental status, political
affiliation, or any other basis protected by law. Among the types of unwelcome conduct
prohibited by this policy are epithets, slurs, stereotyping, intimidating acts, and the
circulation or posting of written or graphic materials that show hostility toward individuals
because of their protected status. Acts of physical violence, and actual, implied, or
veiled threats of violence, are forms of prohibited harassment. Any form or manner of
threatening or provoking remarks or threatening gestures in the workplace is prohibited.
DHS prohibits harassment even if it does not rise to the level of actionable harassment
under the law. Although a single utterance or act may not rise to a level that may be
actionable under the law, it still has no place at DHS.
This policy prohibits harassment by or of any employee, supervisor, manager,
contractor, vendor, applicant, or other individual with whom DHS employees come into
contact by virtue of their work for DHS.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is a form of prohibited harassment. Harassing conduct is often, but
not always, sexual in nature. DHS's policy forbids harassment based on gender
regardless of whether the offensive conduct is sexual in nature or whether the individual
engaged in harassment and the individual being harassed are of the same gender.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, nonverbal or
physical conduct of based on gender(whether or not it is of a sexual nature) constitute

extent possible. Reports are addressed through an appropriate prompt, thorough, and
impartial investigation. DHS takes prompt corrective action when it determines that
harassment has occurred. Any employee found to have engaged in harassment is
subject to disciplinary action, up to and including removal.
EEO Complain
DHS Directive 256-01 does not affect an employee's right to file an EEO complaint of
harassment or discrimination. An employee's use of the reporting procedures called for
in the Directive does not result in an individual complaint of discrimination or
harassment. Employees may make complaints of harassment or discrimination based
upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation,
parental status, protected genetic information, or retaliation by contacting
[Components fill in information about the servicing Office of
Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO)] within 45 days of the harassment or
discrimination, regardless of whether an employee utilizes the procedures established
under this policy. Complaints on some grounds can also be made directly to the Office
of Special Counsel, including those based upon marital status, political affiliation, or
sexual orientation. For complete information on filing such complaints, contact the
Office of Special Counsel or visitwwwosq.gov. Employees choosing to file such
complaints with the servicing EEO or Civil Rights Office, or the Office of Special
Counsel must still report harassment in accordance with their Component's harassment
reporting procedures, which are available at

To: City Council
From: Scott Meszaros, City Mariagert
Agenda Item: Urging Governor Mike Dunleavy and his administration to intervene in the
State of Alaska Department of Transportation Seward Airport Project and
recommending that Alternative 1.1 be selected and constructed
BACKGROUND & jusTIFICATION:
The State of Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) owns and operates the Seward Airport
located in Seward, Alaska. Through various flooding events and human intervention to manage
flooding in the Resurrection River, the river has changed Course and is now redirected towards the
existing long runway at the Seward Airport. Due to this redirection, the long runway has been
Undennined and has caused the runway to be inoperable at its full capacity,
Over a number of years,DOT,has been in the process of addressing this issue through a large-scale
project and have determined to move forward with Project Alternative nUmber 2.2.Alternative 2.2 is
a project that is abandoning the long runway and constructing a new,shorter 3,300'runway,parallel
to the existing short runway.
Though the community and administration were heavily involved in the
project process and participated in community-wide meetings, administrative meetings and public
hearings,the DOT selected plan Alternative 2.2 does not reflect public input and does not meet the
existing or future needs of the City of Seward.
The Seward City Council and the Port and Commerce Advisory Board held a joint work session on
July 1", 2019 to discuss the c>ttc�rl�indocr
Petrfortmust be made to
intervene in this pro�jcct soas economic development and emergency response efforts.
'the City ofSeward is also very concerned about Alternative 2.2 due to the significant environmental
impacts of the proposed project.
The Community,City Council and Administration feel that DOT is ignoring the desires and needs of
the community and have made no effort to implement Or Utilize any of the feedback or input they
have received throughout project development.
This Resolution is a request that the Governor of Alaska intervene and direct DOT to select and
construct Seward Airport Project Alternative 1.1.
INTENT: Urge the Governor and his administration to intervene in the Seward Airport project,
and support the selection and construction of Alternative 1.1.

To Whom It Should Concern
Re:Seward Airport Improvement Plan
I have great concerns about the DOT's selection of Alternative 2.2 which would)shift the
existing, 2,289'x 75' Crosswind Runway(16-34)to the east and extend it by 1, 011 feet to
3,300'x75'.This plan would abandon the existing 4,533' x 100'Main Runway(13-31)that also
serves as a levee that protects the airport, Infrastructure, and salt marsh west of the
Resurrection River. (Note FAA lists RW 16-34 at 4,533 .The Plan variously lists it at 4,249' and
4,5000.)
I, along with many others,support Alternative 1.1 which would retain,and maintain the existing
4,533' RW 13-31.At all the public meetings,the public and pilots spoke overwhelmingly in favor
of this option but it was taken off the table by ADOT.
Any alternative will require a continual funding source and staff with no guarantees of success..
The long runway must be raised,fortified,and maintained as a levee with the runway on top to
protect the rest of the airport and infrastructure to the west. It is risky and shortsighted to
abandon it.
The Crosswind Runway points directly at an extremely important habitat for resident and
migrating birds, and the location of a large Arctic Tern nesting colony. Mending the runway wild
bring all the fixed wing aircraft,including small jets, much closer and lower to the wetlands and
ponds upon approach and departure.This will unnecessarily increase the risk of bird-aircraft
colllisions, and jeopardize the aircraft and wildlife.
Mitigation of all developmental impacts are critical to protect the integrity of this wetlands
ecosystem that also protects the Seward Airport and adjacent Alaska Railroad property from
erosion,flooding,siltation, and the threats of continuing sea level rise. Extending the Crosswind
Runway will negatively impact this delicate ecosystem
Extending the Crosswind Runway also places it in an area that experiences flooding, extreme
high tides,surf and ice impacts,overflow from the adjacent slough and ponds. Impacts and
maintenance throughout the year including dramatically different winter conditions must be
evaluated.
The only viable alternative,if dredging the main channel is not an option, is Alternative 1.1,
Reconstruct the Existing Main Runway 13-31 above the 100-year flood level, Install riprap to
protect the embankment from flooding AND bring it up to Its previous weight-bearing
standards.

Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your invitation to provide comments on retaining the current long runway RW
13-31. 1 have a huge concern that if all the emphasis is placed on the importance of a 4000'+
runway, it will give even greater support to Alt 2.2 with a future extension of 700' of RW 16-34
to reach 4000'.
Issues with the wildlife, birds,jurisdictional wetlands, private land,etc that would complicate
and negate the 700' extension must be emphasized,so that Seward will never have a long
runway if RW 13-31 is abandoned. (I will certainly comment on this!)
Allowing the river to breach RW 13-31 as proposed may very well help to restore the original
floodplain, but will also threaten the new RW 16-34 and millions of dollars of infrastructure at
the airport and Alaska Railroad property. RW 13-31 needs to serve as a levee and runway.
I've noticed comments at City Council and PACAB meetings In support of a long runway may be
misinterpreted to mean support of the new RW 16-34 with extension.Comments must express
support for Improving and maintaining the existing long runway RW 13-31.
The following are points gleaned from the Seward Airport Improvement Project EA that will
need to be strongly opposed:
Main runway:
RW 13-31
4,249'x 100'
Currently restricted to small aircraft with a weight of 12,500 or less due to weakening of
embankment caused by flooding. Length exceeds need of current and forecast aircraft,
although the longer RW would make the airport available for infrequent use by larger aircraft.
Alternative 2.2
EA proposes closing and discontinuing maintenance of this long runway
Resurrection River expected to be overtopped and breached by future flood events, allowing
floodwaters to reach RW 16-34,thereby restoring part of the original floodplain (bad Idea)
Secondary runway:

I do not know who does the pavement strength tests or who funds them.The LCNI report I was stating came from an Air
Force report.We just go by what is published In the AK aviation supplement.
As far as the use of an airfield during a mass casualty or natural disaster,if the runway is still usable we would/can use
the C130 as an air ambulance to get people to higher level of care quicker.
As far as the chain of command,we normally get our direction through our district office in Juneau Alaska.
The H60/H65 helicopters have used Seward before,and usually they only require gas.As stated earlier the C130's have
not been there In a while. I will not say we will never use Seward for SAR,as we never know what situation will present
itself.Having Seward available for use by C130's only allows for Increased flexibility/capability to respond.
If Seward were rated for C130 use we would use it training pilots to land on shorter/narrower runways.Currently the
only other field we use that is close to Sewards dimensions Is Dutch Harbor and that is a 2 hr flight.You would probably
see weekly flights stopping by for touch and go's.C130's would need no other services.
Let me know If you have any more questions.

LT. Hornick,
Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me more about the way the Coast Guard would handle mass casualties or medical
evacuations? For instance,if there were an accident with a fishing boat,cruise ship or other vessel with a dozen
injuries,would the Coast Guard C-130 act as a medical ambulance moving mass casualties to hospitals in Anchorage or
A13
61
other cities? If there were a natural disaster,not at sea,such as an earthquake,fire or flood,would the Coast Guard
respond under FEMA direction?
For the pavement strength,you mentioned that it previously had an LCN of 14. Do you go by the published pavement
strength in the 5010 records(currently not available),or does the military test pavement strength at airports it plans to
use?
If there were no pavement strength limitations/restrictions, how many annual C-130 operations would you expect at
Seward In a typical year?
Would Coast Guard search and rescue operations ever be based out of Seward? if so,what airport facilities are
needed?
Thanks for your help.

Ken,
Understand you are inquiring about Coast Guard operations at the Seward airport with regards to C130 operations and
impacts.
Since I have been here(2012)we have not used Seward due to the fact that it is no longer tested for the C130 bearing
capacity. From what I have been told we used to operate there when it was certified for our weight.
The real Impact for Coast Guard operations is for expedient planning in case of mass casualty or Medical Evacuation that
would allow a quicker response via C130 than an H60. Additionally, If an H60 needed fuel and a fuel provider was not
available at the airport the C130 could provide fuel.With the bearing capacity as it stands we would need a DOT waiver,
which could take some time.The last report, before the 12,500 NOTAM restriction was established,Is that the main
Runway has an LCN of 14 equating to a max gross C130 weight of 100,000 Ibs.With a runway length of 4500 we can
normally operate at about 120,000 Ibs,allowing enough fuel and gear to respond to the majority of situations.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Bob,
I received a phone call from Ken Risse who works for PDC Consulting Engineers,contract work with Dept of
Transportation.They are putting together a Facility Requirement Chapter for the Seward airport and would like to know
the Importance of Seward In regards to the Coast Guard.Specifically,they are deciding whether or not the DOT should
shorten the runway or change the weight capability,but would like to know impacts to our C-130 operations.
Ken Risse's phone number Is 907-452-1414 and email is kenrisse@pdceng.com.
He will be completing this chapter by Friday,and would like to add our Input to it before then.
Thank you.

Note that the USACE method calls for a Class 11+,Cal B&SP calls for Class TV-,and HEC-t 1
calls for Class II. Given the angle of attack of the flow to the runway embankment,Class III is
recommended for embankment protection for the southern half of the Runway, including and
extending upstream beyond the anticipated point of impinging flow.Above the point of
impinging flow, Class II riprap is recommended.Additional analysis will be conducted following
the selection of the preferred design alternative.
Due to the length of Runway 16134 in Alternative 2.2,the embankment will extend into the
Resurrection Bay intertidal zone. Additional erosion protection will be required to protect the
runway embankment from wave runup and storm surge events.
Recommendations
Though FAA Advisory Circulars,the Alaska Aviation Preconstruction Manual,and the Alaska
Highway PTeconstruction Manual (AHPCM)do not provide a design return interval specifically
applicable for an airport adjacent a river,Table 1120-1 in the AHPCM recommends using a
discharge with a I 00-year return interval to design culverts and channel changes in designated
flood hazard areas with no reference to the type of facility. ADOT&PF interprets this
recommendation to be applicable for countermeasures pertaining to both flooding and scour at
airport facilities in FEMA.mapped floodways and floodplains(Janke, 2015).
The braided channel of the Resurrection River adjacent to the Seward Airport has exhibited
significant changes in location over time.Additionally,the frequency of runway overtopping
events and the required maintenance has been increasing with time. Because of the dynamic
nature of the Resurrection River at close proximity to the Seward Airport,the design guidelines
should be conservative.
Panels 4543,4544,5006, and 5007 of the 2013 Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)are found in
Appendix H. Panel 4543 includes the Seward Airport and the Resurrection River Regulatory
Floodway. FEMA regulations state communities shall prohibit encroachments,fill,new
development, substantial improvements,and other development within the adopted regulatory
floodway unless it has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses that the
proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community of
the base flood(I 00-year) discharge.In addition,the KPB Floodplain Development Ordinance
(KPB, 1986) also prohibits any increase in flood levels during the base flood that result from fill,
construction and other development within the regulatory floodway.
Also note that minimum federal standards limit the maximum allowable rise of the I 00-year
Base Flood Elevation(BFE)to I foot. FEMA's regulations allow for State and local government
regulations that are more stringent(allow something less than a one foot rise)to take precedence.
Alternative 1.1 requires encroachment within the Regulatory Floodway due to construction of
the raised runway. The hydraulic analysis shows a range of flood level increases within the
regulatory floodway during the base flood.Additionally, BFE increases of more than I foot
would occur in areas of the 1%chance floodplain other than the regulatory floodway. In addition
to the large BFE increases,the impacts from the encroachment required by Alternative 1.1
841

include backing up floodwaters onto private properties in the middle of the Resurrection River
floodplain. The eastern limit would expand as well toward Nash Road,potentially impacting
private properties. Additionally,floodwater velocities generally increase,which could lead to
erosion and embankment toe scour.Finally,the large BFE increases would result in a substantial
quantity of material being needed to raise the runway embankment to the design crest elevation.
If selected as the engineering preferred alternative,this design would likely face substantial
permitting obstacles and requires modification to the effective FIRM and Floodway Map. Such
an action would require a Letter of Map Revision(LOMR),which is FEMA's modification to an
effective FIRM, or Flood Boundary and Floodway Map, or both. LOMR reviews take up to 90
days to process,are subject to an appeal period,and usually become effective within six months
after they are:issued(FEMA,2015a). The preparation of a LOMR request includes extensive
hydrologic computations,hydraulic analysis, and regulatory requirements.
Alternatives 2.2 and 3.0 do not require encroachment within the Regulatory Floodway, and will
result in BFE increases of less than 1 foot. Impacts to private properties from the BFE increases
are much smaller than with Alternative, L L When including the effects from coastal flooding,
there would be only small impacts,(increased inundation)to the private properties in the middle
of the Resurrection River floodplain. Similarly,there would be a very small expansion of the
eastern limit of the 100-year floodplain toward private properties along Nash Road between the
Seward Highway and Resurrection Bay. The expansions would still be contained within the
Salmon Creek Effective FIRM floodplain.Average velocity increases would be less than 15
percent,though larger local increases may occur near new embankments.
However,either of these alternatives may still require a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR).A CLOMR is FEMA's comment on a proposed project that would, upon
construction,result in the modification of the existing regulatory floodway,the effective BFEs,
or the Special Flood Hazard Area(FEMA, 2015b). A CLOMR is required when proposed
changes will cause any increase the BFE where a regulatory floodway has been identified.
Consultation with FEMA,the City of Seward,and the KPB Floodplain Administrator is
suggested to determine if a CLOMR is required for either Alternative 2.2 or 3.0.
The following recommendations are based on the hydraulic analysis described in this report,as
well as applicable local and FEMA floodway and floodpWn regulations:
1. The engineering preferred design should be either Alternative 2.2 or 3.0.
2. In the future, long-term stockpiling of overburden and gravel in the channel or floodplain
of the Resurrection River downstream of the Seward Highway bridges should be
discouraged.
3. The recommended design water surface elevation for the Seward Airport Improvements
project is the water surface elevation during the discharge with a 1 00-year(I%chance)
return interval plus a two-foot freeboard.
4. The recommended design condition for erosion protection for the Seward Airport
Improvements project is the discharge with a 1 00-year(I%chance)return interval.

with a 2-ft freeboard. Both runways remain above the base flood elevation. The Alt 1.1 water
surface elevations across the floodplain east of the runway are substantially higher than those of
the EG model. Water surface elevation increases of greater than 1 foot occur from Cross-section
D to Cross-section J. The maximum water surface elevation increase is 4.04 feet,and occurs at
Cross-section F.The private parcels in the middle of the Resurrection River floodplain are
completely inundated At some areas of the 100-year floodplain between the Seward Highway
and Resurrection Bay,the eastern limit has expanded. At Cross-sections D and E,the Alt 1.1
floodplain boundary is 70 feet to the east of the Effective FIRM floodplain (red line). At Cross-
sections F and G,the Alt 1.1 floodplain boundary is 300 to 500 feet east of the EG model
boundary(dark blue line). Though it is within the Salmon Creek Effective FIRM floodplain
Zone AH, the Alt 1.1 water surface elevations of Cross-sections F and G are slightly higher(1-2
feet)than the FIRM base flood elevations there. At Cross-section K,the Alt 1.1 floodplain
boundary is approximately 400 feet northeast of the EG model boundary,but still within the
Salmon Creek Effective FIRM base flood and floodway boundary. See FIRM Panel 4544.

Seward Airport improvements Appendix B
Environmental Assessment Alternatives Dropped from Further Consideration
Alternative 1.1 would reconstruct and raise Runway 13-31 above the 100-year flood level with
2 feet of freeboard (per Executive Order, dated January 30, 2015). The existing runway would
remain at its current length of 4,533 feet.Riprap would have been installed within the Resurrection
River to protect Runway 13-31. Taxiways B and C would have been reconstructed to match into
Runway 13-31 raised profile and entrance Taxiways A, D, and E would have been reconfigured or
eliminated to comply with new FAA guidance.
Runway 13-31 is located adjacent to the Resurrection River. Modeling, using 2 feet of freeboard
above the 100-year flood level, showed up to a 4-foot increase in the base flood elevation (BFIE)
over portions of the upstream floodplain.The runway embankment was raised over 6 feet in some
areas with an overall average rise of 4.4 feet. This additional fill would result in a backing up of
floodwaters onto an additional 159 acres of private, state, and native allotments along the
Resurrection River as compared to the No Build option or Alternative 2.2 (Alternative 2.2 would
increase flooding on 22 acres, while reducing flooding on another 44 acres). Higher floodwater
velocities produced by the river could result in increased erosion and scour over time of the
proposed reinforced embankment
Since this option produces fill into the regulatory floodway, a modification to the effective Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Floodway Map would be required. The associated Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR) would require extensive hydraulic analysis, would need to meet regulatory
requirements, and will require mitigation for affected property owners. This would increase the
cost of the project as well as the ultimate timeline for completion.The existing runway is currently
under weight restrictions,due to past flood damage, limiting the type of aircraft that can access the
airport.
Executive Order 119B8 "requires federal agencies to avoid to the extent possible, the long and
short-term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of the 100-year
floodpiains and to avoid direct or indirect support of floodplain development wherever there is a
practicable alternative". Alternative 1.1 maintains the portion of the existing airport which lies
within the regulatory floodway (sections of Runway 13-31 and Taxiway A). The location of
Runway 13-31 to the Resurrection River puts the runway at a greater risk of overtopping during a
major flood event, even after it is raised.At the very least, future maintenance and operation costs
associated with higher than expected flood levels would be a burden. The airport's use for
emergency services is crucial during flood events which could also impair highway travel.
To raise and reinforce Runway 13-31 would require placing riprap below the ordinary high water
mark of the Resurrection River. This has implications for fish habitat within the river as well as
navigability concerns for this braided river channel.These potential impacts would require further
analysis if this alternative were carried forward into the EA.
DOT Order 5650 states "that DOT agencies should ensure that proper consideration is given to
avoid and mitigate adverse floodplain impacts in agency actions...:" Alternative 1.1 has a much
greater impact to the floodplain than the No Build or Alternative 2.2.
Taken together, these considerations qualify the floodplain impacts associated with Alternative 1.1
as a significant encroachment on the floodplain, as defined in the following excerpt from
Section 14.2.1.1 of the 1015.1F Desk Reference:
As defined in DOT Order 5650.Z significant encroachment is an encroachment in a
floodplain that results in one or more of the following construction orflood-related
Page B-2
74

Seward Airport Improvements Appendix B
Environmental Assessment Alternatives Dropped from Further Consideration
impacts.1)considerable probability of toss of human life,2)likely future damage
associated with the encroachment that could be substantial in cost or extent,
including interruption ofservice on or loss of a vital transportation facility,and 3)
a notable adverse impact on "natural and beneficial floodplain values."
This guidance states that an alternative with a significant floodplain encroachment should not be
selected if a practicable alternative exists.Alternative 2.2 does not qualify as a significant floodplain
encroachment and would also allow for the eventual breaching of Runway 13-31,thereby restoring
part of the original floodplain.
Furthermore,FAA Order 1050.1F provides the following Significance Threshold for Floodplains:
The action would cause notable adverse impacts on natural and beneficial
floodplain values Natural and beneficial floodplain values are defined in
Paragraph 4.k of DDT Order 5650.2,Floodplain Management and Protection.
Proposed actions that would result in impacts at or above these defined Significance Thresholds
require preparation of an EIS.
DOT Order 5650.2, paragraph 41 states that natural and beneficial floodplain values include, but
are not limited to: natural moderation of floods,water quality maintenance,groundwater recharge,
fish, wildlife, plants, open space, natural beauty, scientific study, outdoor recreation, agriculture,
and forestry. The 1050.117 Desk Reference also references factors to consider when assessing
impacts on a floodplain's natural and beneficial values.Most notably,"would the proposed action or
alternative(s) cause flow alterations that would result in unacceptable upstream or downstream
flooding?"
The selection of Alternative 1.1 as the proposed action could therefore result in the need to prepare
an EIS for this project as the potential floodplain impacts meet or exceed the Significance Threshold
set for floodplains.
