In accordance with the provisions of AS 38.05.850, the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water, Southcentral Regional Office is considering issuance of a utility easement and temporary equipment movement permit for use of State owned, DNR-DMLW managed tide and submerged lands in Akhiok Bay near Akhiok, on Kodiak Island within Section 28, Township 37 South, Range 31 West, Seward Meridian. The purpose of the project to replace a previously installed but severed community sewer outfall line. The amended project description includes the addition of a temporary equipment movement route that was not described in a previous public notice posted by this office on December 12, 2016.
The prior notice described a utility easement area that is currently estimated to be 2,013.5 feet long by 30 feet wide, for a total area of 1.4 acres, more or less. The final easement area will be determined subsequent to DMLW’s approval of a required as-built survey document.

The temporary use permit will expire upon completion of construction activities. Please see the attachments for additional location information.
