Doc Meister - Barge Landing

for Kotlik Community Development Plan

Barge Landing (ID: 2233)

DESCRIPTION:

Name of Infrastructure: Barge Landing / Marine Facility
Year Built: N/A
General Description:

There is no designated Barge Landing and Marine Facility. Currently freight is dropped off near the tank farm area unless the barge is directed to drop off at another designated site, i.e. new school construction material were off-loaded at the old airport. We do not have a boat harbor as current skiff owners tie up nearest to their home along the riverbank.

FUTURE NEEDS:

As Reviewed and Approved by the Kotlik Planning Board 2006

ST, MT, or LT? LT

Local Lead Agency? City of Kotlik

Future Needs: A designated docking area / barge landing is needed to off load freight from barges. In addition, a small boat harbor is needed to shelter boats from high winds, tide and potential swamping.

Possible Funding Source(s): Corp of Engineers, Department of Transportation, Denali Commission, Boats & Harbors, State of Alaska.
