DOT&PF Notice to Begin Engineering & Environmental Studies: Cordova Ferry Terminal Improvements

Project # SFHWY00465

The Maritime Administration (MARAD), in coordination with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) and the Prince William Sound Economic Development District (PWSEDD) plans to carry out marine geotechnical investigations at the Cordova Ferry Terminal. The results of the survey would be used to help inform project design.

Project activities may encroach into the floodplain. The encroachments are anticipated to be minor, with no net changes to the base flood elevation, thus they would not result in significant encroachments. Additionally, no longitudinal encroachments are anticipated.

Project Schedule
Geotechnical investigation activities will occur during the daytime hours over an estimated one-week period, beginning Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026.

What to Expect
The investigations will be performed outside of AMHS sailing schedule, therefore no impacts to service will occur.

The proposed project would comply with all applicable authorities including:
• EO-11988 (Floodplain Management)
• EO-12898 (Environmental Justice)
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
• Clean Air and Clean Water Acts  
• Endangered Species Act   
• Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
• National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
