Project Description:
The project subject to this consistency review is the replacement of the existing small boat harbor at the City of Old Harbor. The existing harbor facilities would be removed, including a trestle and 50' long gangway, 12'x450' float, and seven 8'x85' floats. The existing pilings are timber. They would be cut at the mudline, or the contractor may choose to remove them using a vibratory method. The existing dock would remain. The new harbor facilities would include a new float system with approximately 32 dedicated slips total with lengths of 24', 40' 50' and 60', plus skiff and transient moorage. The new harbor facilities would include the new float system with a total of 921 linear feet of main floats plus 568 feet of finger/stall floats for boat moorage, a new 6'x80' ADA-compliant aluminum gangway and 12' wide pile-supported timber access trestle on the west side for charter boats; a 6'x60' aluminum gangway and 12' wide pile-supported timber access trestle on the east side for commercial boats, a 150' concrete boat launch with an associated 225' long boarding float, a 20'x32' timber float with fish cleaning station, a pile-supported timber tidal grid for emergency boat repairs, upland oil and solid waste collection facilities, and a new harbormaster office with public restrooms. The new in-water structures would be supported by 43 steel piles below mean high water. Intertidal fill of 0.095 acre would be required for the boat launch ramp.
