Unalaska: Council Moves Forward on Small Boat Harbor Float Designs
By Annie Ropeik
Wednesday, November 27 2013
City council approved a new contract to finish redesigning C float at the Bobby Storrs Boat Harbor at their meeting Tuesday night. The contract is with PND Engineers for $515,000. PND has been a part of the redesign process since January. Port director Peggy McLaughlin told the council that their preferred design for C float is a straight, linear pontoon float with no fingers off the side. "It gives us all kinds of flexibility in terms of what we can moor there in size and width," she said. "And we will also have additional.... http://kucb.org/news/article/council-moves-forward-on-small-boat-harbor-float-designs/

Will Alaska legislature protect instream flows in upcoming session?

November 28, 2013
In response to significant public opposition to House Bill 77 that arose in last year’s legislative session, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, recently, released a fact sheet entitled “Modernizing Alaska’s Permitting System” which provides that “DNR and the Governor… introduced [the Bill] as part of an initiative to…ensure that projects are permitted in a timely, predictable and efficient manner while safeguarding the environment.” Some would suggest, however, that the bill is more likely the result of the Parnell administration’s intimate relationship with the energy industry then any need to fix inconsistencies in the water right permitting process. The courts, for one, don’t appear to be on board with DNR’s argument that the bill “would help prevent an individual or organization from trying to use water reservations as a tool to stop any development by ‘locking up’ water” in reference to the... http://www.thetundradrums.com/story/2013/11/28/opinion/will-alaska-legislature-protect-instream-flows-in-upcoming-session/944.html

Replacing Tustumena a priority for marine board
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Replacing the troubled Tustumena ferry, which was out of commission for nearly a year, is the top priority of the Marine Transportation Advisory Board, the group's chairman says. Chairman Bob Venables, of Sitka, said at a recent board meeting that the Tustumena is important to the transportation infrastructure of Western Alaska. The vessel returned to service last month, six months later than expected. The Alaska Marine Highway System has contracted with a Seattle marine engineering firm to.... http://hosted2.ap.org/AKKEN/00873362e3ae4101a4238b054d709f4d/Article_2013-11-28-Ferry-Tustumena/id-42c38d219ec94b1eb3ead286e34dd875

That’s exactly what happened in Seward on January 20, 2012.

Two species of Elodea, aquatic plants commonly known as Canadian and Nuttall’s waterweed, have been found in recent years in a handful of lakes and sloughs near Fairbanks, Anchorage, Cordova, and Kenai. Native to some states in the Lower 48, these two species are the first invasive aquatic weeds in Alaska. Unlike some terrestrial weeds that seem to be content hanging around towns and highways, Elodea is fully capable of spreading into slow-moving water bodies throughout Alaska.
