Homer Harbor, Alaska 



26. Homer is located on lower Cook Inlet in southern Alaska, approxi- 

 mately 125 air miles south of Anchorage and 70 miles north of Kodiak. The 

 project includes a small-boat basin protected by a berm and two breakwaters. 

 The harbor is located near the outer end of Homer Spit, a naturally occurring 

 spit extending 3.5 miles into Kachemak Bay. 



27. The project was originally adopted in 1958 and completed in 1962, 

 including a 2.8-acre basin protected by a 1,260-ft rubble-mound breakwater. 

 The basin was destroyed and the breakwater severely damaged in the 1964 earth- 

 quake. In 1965 the basin was restored and relocated slightly to the northwest 

 of the original basin. The restored basin included 10 acres with 2.75 acres 

 at -12 ft mllw and 7.25 acres at -15 ft mllw, a 1,0l8-ft main breakwater, and 

 a 238-ft secondary breakwater. Local interests expanded the basin to 16.5 

 acres during I968 to 1970. 



28. The project was expanded to 50 acres during 1984 to 1985 by ex- 

 tending the basin 1,040 ft to the northwest and 350 ft to the northeast. The 

 harbor is protected on the northeast by a berm with a 220-ft crest width 

 allowing 2-lane vehicular access. A chronology of events related to the 

 development and repair of the harbor structures is given in Table 5. 



Hoonah Harbor, Alaska 



29. Hoonah is located on the northeastern shore of Chichagof Island in 

 southeastern Alaska on the eastern shore of Port Frederick, 70 miles west of 

 Juneau. The project includes a 15.5-acre small-boat basin protected by an 

 800-ft and a 1,507-ft rubble-mound breakwater, a l40-ft rubble-mound entrance 

 breakwater, and an 800-ft and a 1,l65-ft rubble-mound diversion dike. Con- 

 struction began in 1979 and was completed in I98O. The basin provides moorage 

 for 105 local and transient commercial fishing vessels, with provisions for 

 expansion to 225 boats. A chronology of events related to the development and 

 repair of the harbor structures is given in Table 6. 



Humboldt Harbor, Alaska 



30. Sand Point is located on the northern shore of Humboldt Harbor on 

 the western side of Popof Island in the Shuraagin Island group of southwestern 

 Alaska, approximately 560 air miles southwest of Anchorage. The project 

 includes a l6.6-acre mooring basin protected by a 1,025-ft north breakwater, 

 a 740-ft south breakwater, and a 1,175-ft diversion dike. The basin was 

 constructed during 1975 to 1976. A chronology of events related to the
