10. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Ordinance No. FY2023-02B Of The Assembly Of The Kodiak Island Borough
Amending Ordinance No. FY2023-02, Fiscal Year 2023 Budget, By Amending
Budgets And Appropriations To Account For The Additional School Bond Debt
Reimbursement Payments Received From The State Of Alaska
SMILEY moved to adopt Ordinance No. FY2023-02B.
Update (12/29/22 Work Session Requests)
Assembly requested the $3,032,815 allocated to the two school roofing projects
be re-allocated to the Renewal & Replacement fund ($2,472,815) and the
Borough Vehicle Replacement project ($560,000).
Original
Beginning in 2017, the Governor’s budgets reduced or eliminated appropriations
for the School Construction Debt Reimbursement Program.
Reimbursement Reductions:
• 2017 reduced by 25% or $1,015,079
• 2018 reduced by 0%
• 2019 reduced by 0%
• 2020 reduced by 50% or $2,712,401
• 2021 reduced by 100% or $5,336,799
• 2022 reduced by 63% or $3,249,012
Since reductions to the reimbursement program were made after the Borough
adopted their budget, taking the reductions into consideration when calculating
the annual mill rates was not possible. To fill the gap in funding, other funds had
to make up the difference so our debt service payments could be made.
Funds contributing money to the Debt Service fund to make bond payments:
• General Fund $5,319,272
• KIBSD (Education Support) $1,632,815
• Facilities Fund $2,213,366
• Renewal & Replacement $1,574,487
At the close of FY2022, the State of Alaska approved CCS HB 281 which
appropriated an additional $220 million of funding to the School Construction
Debt Reimbursement Program. This appropriation was enough to reach back
and fully fund the unpaid reimbursements from 2017, 2020, 2021 and 2022 and
in late August the Borough received $12,313,291 of that funding.
In recognition of the receipt of those makeup reimbursement funds, this
ordinance seeks to repay the funds that contributed money to cover the shortfall
in the Debt Service fund and retain the current fund status as an IRS approved
Bona Fide Debt Service Fund.
AGENDA ITEM #6.A.
January 12, 2023 Special Meeting & January 19, 2023 Regular Meeting Page 5 of 64
Kodiak Island Borough
January 19, 2023
Assembly Regular Meeting Minutes
Page 3 of 9
One of the contributors to the shortfall, KIBSD, is not eligible to receive a direct
reimbursement since a payment to them would violate the State's rules for local
support and could count against them for future federal and state funding. So,
as an alternative, staff is recommending that the $1,632,815 they contributed be
split between the needed school roof repairs on East Elementary and North Star
Elementary ($816,407.50 to each).
Since the remaining $1,573,351 reimbursement we received exceed the
contributions from other funds (some years the mill rate was increased with the
expectation that less than full reimbursement funding would occur thereby
reducing the need for other contributions), staff is recommending that amount
be allocated as follows:
• $700,000 to the East Elementary School Roof Repair project, and
• $700,000 to the North Star Elementary Roof and Skylight Repair project,
and
• $173,351 be allowed to stay in the Debt Service fund (estimated fund
balance at year-end $230,364 which is within IRS balance tolerances).
Mayor Williams closed the regular meeting and opened the public hearing.
Hearing and seeing none, Mayor Williams closed the public hearing and
reconvened the regular meeting.
ARNDT moved to amend Ordinance No. FY2023-02B by moving $560,000 from
borough vehicle replacement project into the General Fund.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION TO AMEND CARRIED FOUR TO THREE:
Arndt, Delgado, Griffin, and Turner (AYES); Ledoux, Smiley, and Smith (NOES).
ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED SIX TO ONE:
Delgado, Griffin, Ledoux, Smiley, Turner, and Arndt (AYES); Smith (NO).

the terms for lease of property at 717 E. Rezanof Drive, a matter the immediate
knowledge of which would tend to adversely affect the finances of the Borough.
ROLL CALL VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY: Smiley, Smith,
Arndt, Delgado, Griffin, and Ledoux.
SMILEY moved to invite the Mayor and Assembly, except for Assembly Member
Turner, the Manager, and the Clerks into Executive Session.
The Borough issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the lease of Borough
property at 717 E Rezanof Drive. There was only one respondent. The Borough
RFP included a sample lease and invited proposers to identify any modifications
they request to the proposed lease terms. The respondent proposed some
modifications to the proposed lease. The Borough staff seek Assembly direction
in negotiations over the terms which are acceptable to the Borough for the lease,
which is a disposal of an interest in property.
KIBC 2.30.030 (F)(1)(h) authorizes discussion of the terms for disposal of an
interest in land to take place in executive session. KIBC 2.30.030 (F)(1)(b)
authorizes discussion of the matters in executive session if the open discussion
may tend to adversely affect the finances of the Borough.
It is recommended that the discussion take place in executive session in order
to keep the Borough’s position regarding the lease rent it is willing to accept, and
the relative strength of the parties’ bargaining positions, confidential from the
proposer until a tentative agreement subject to the Assembly approval is
reached. If and when final terms are tentatively agreed upon by the parties the
negotiated terms would be made public prior to Assembly approval of the lease.
VOICE VOTE ON MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
After the vote, Mayor Williams recessed the special meeting and convened the
executive session at 7:13 p.m.
Upon returning from the executive session, Mayor Williams reconvened the
special meeting at 7:45 p.m. and announced that no action was taken as a result
of the executive session. A special meeting was called on Thursday, January
26, 2023, so the contract that pertains to this lease can be discussed publicly. A

KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH 1
RESOLUTION NO. FY2023-21 2
A RESOLUTION OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH IDENTIFYING 3
FEDERAL PROJECT AND PROGRAM PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2024 4
5
WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak Island 6
Borough on which Federal projects and programs should be considered priorities, in no particular 7
order, for rural Alaskan communities and their residents. 8
9
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 10
BOROUGH that the Kodiak Island Borough’s views and recommendations on priority Federal 11
programs and projects for FY 2024 are as follows: 12
13
1. FY 2024 Community Project/Congressionally Directed Spending Requests: The 14
Borough submits the following FY 2024 community project/Congressionally directed 15
spending requests, consistent with guidance issued by the House and Senate 16
Appropriations Committees. 17
18
Kodiak Island Hospital Addition $54,390,000 19
The oldest wing of the Kodiak Island Borough owned hospital facility has been assessed 20
and found to be structurally deficient to withstand the impacts of a significant local 21
earthquake. Due to the age of this portion of the facility, a variety of building support 22
systems are failing and require replacement as well. The cost benefit analysis does not 23
result in favor of retrofitting this section of the building. 24
This project proposes to demolish the 3,200 square foot old hospital wing and construct 25
in its place a three-story addition that meets current seismic standards and allows the local 26
hospital facility to meet the needs and regulatory requirements of current and future 27
medical care for the island community of 13,000 people. 28
29
2. Broadband Service to Rural Areas: Establishing or improving broadband service to the 30
Borough’s rural island communities has been a high Federal priority for us for many years. 31
Deployment of high-speed broadband to rural areas such as Kodiak is now in the 32
implementation phase from a base of funding provided through the American Rescue Plan 33
Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and regular annual Federal appropriations. The 34
primary sources of funding have been or will be through NTIA’s Tribal Broadband 35
Program; USDA’s Telecommunications Infrastructure Loan Program & Community 36
Connect Grant Program; and the new State Broadband Grants Program created by the 37
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. One of the Borough’s communities – Port Lions – was 38
recently a beneficiary of these funds, receiving $29 million for its Broadband Infrastructure 39
Deployment project to install fiber optic cable connecting almost 1,000 households and 40
businesses. We continue to monitor GCI’s fiber optic cable project – which includes the 41
Port Lions effort and connectivity to other Island communities -- to bring high speed 42
AGENDA ITEM #14.B.2.
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Identifying Federal Project And Program Priorit...Page 34 of 64
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Page 2 of 4
internet service to Kodiak and through much of the Aleutian Island chain. “Middle” and 43
“last” mile investments also remain important to our villages so they can access higher 44
speed broadband. Should the Borough in cooperation with a local internet service provider 45
pursue funding at a later date with USDA’s or NTIA’s programs, we would request 46
Delegation support for our application. 47
48
3. Groundfish Surveys: Our Federal resolution last year called for maintenance of effort of 49
Federal groundfish trawl surveys in Alaska. This would be six surveys, one of which is 50
dedicated to movement of fish out of historical survey areas. The FY 2023 Omnibus 51
Appropriations Bill funds and directs that number of surveys. Groundfish are critical to 52
Kodiak fisheries, accounting for 60 percent of all our landings. Inadequate data creates 53
the possibility of reduced quotas as fisheries managers seek to control fishing effort on a 54
precautionary basis. We appreciate the Alaska Congressional Delegation’s support to 55
maintain this coverage in recent years and for favorably considering the Borough’s prior 56
year requests. We respectfully request that six Alaska groundfish trawl surveys be 57
continued and funded for FY 2024. 58
59
4. Fisheries Disaster Relief: Congress has just enacted fisheries disaster relief reform 60
legislation -- the Fishery Resource Disasters Improvement Act -- that would bring greater 61
transparency and deadlines to the steps in the disaster relief determination, funding, State 62
expenditure plan development and relief distribution process. The bill also includes 63
provisions that qualify local government loss of raw fish tax revenues as eligible for 64
reimbursement from future Federal fisheries disaster relief funding. This provision is not 65
mandatory and would require the State of Alaska to include foregone fish taxes as part of 66
its fisheries disaster relief expenditure plans submitted to NOAA. Separately, the FY 2023 67
Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes $300 million for fisheries disaster relief. The Borough 68
thanks the Delegation for its support of fisheries disaster relief reform and funding. We 69
further urge that the Delegation advocate with NOAA that of the $300 million in 70
appropriations the full amount be allocated for Alaska crab disasters consistent with the 71
Governor’s disaster relief requests. 72
73
5. North Pacific Observer Program: Observers are an important part of managing the 74
halibut and groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska. Gulf of Alaska fishery participants 75
pay into the North Pacific Observer Fund to cover the costs of “partial coverage” for Gulf 76
fishing sectors but there has been a shortfall in funding to cover observer costs in recent 77
years. The Congress did not include the increase in funding for the program that the 78
Brough requested last year but did include instructions to mitigate the cost impacts on the 79
small vessel fixed gear fleet while the fishery undergoes the transition to electronic 80
monitoring and reporting. We request that an additional $2 million in funding be provided 81
in FY 2024 above base funding along with carryover of language concerning the cost-82
burdens on the fleet. 83
84

Resolution No. FY2023-21 Identifying Federal Project And Program Priorit...Page 35 of 64
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Page 3 of 4
6. U.S. Coast Guard Base -- Kodiak: The FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill includes 85
$105 million for USCG Base Kodiak for the pier project to be ready for the Offshore Patrol 86
and Fast Response Cutters. These funds are in addition to the $130 million for fuel pier 87
recapitalization and $40 million for Phase IV housing at the base from the Bipartisan 88
Infrastructure Law. This is very good news for the Base and Kodiak as we ready for the 89
eventual of homeporting of two each of the new Fast Response and Offshore Patrol 90
Cutters. In addition to these vessels, the Borough is very interested in Kodiak being a 91
homeport for a new icebreaker(s). We recognize the destinations for the existing 92
commercially available ice breaker, assuming its purchase is funded in FY 2024, and the 93
three new heavy icebreakers yet to be built are likely to be Juneau and Seattle, 94
respectively, but we believe Kodiak would be a logical destination for one or more of the 95
new medium class icebreakers. The medium class icebreakers are part of the Coast 96
Guard’s plans but have yet to be designed and funded. We very much appreciate the 97
Delegation’s support for the Base as a homeport for the new vessel classes and urge 98
continued advocacy as future Coast Guard decisions are made, including future 99
icebreaker homeporting. 100
101
7. Payment-In-Lieu-of-Taxes (PILT): PILT is a very important revenue source to the 102
Borough, given that there are over 2.8 million acres removed by the Federal Government 103
from local taxation within our boundaries. This is land that would otherwise be available 104
to the private sector to develop, creating jobs for the residents of Kodiak and our rural 105
Kodiak Island communities. PILT funds supplement Borough resources to provide basic 106
social services, including medical facilities, emergency fire and rescue services, roads, 107
and schools to our island communities. The FY 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill provided 108
full funding for PILT. We thank the Delegation for its long-standing support for PILT and 109
urge continued support for full funding in the FY 2024 appropriations process. 110
111
8. National Wildlife Refuge Fund (“Refuge Revenue Sharing”): While not as significant 112
as PILT, the National Wildlife Refuge Fund is a critical source of replacement revenue to 113
communities like ours that have the presence of a large Federal wildlife refuge within their 114
boundaries. Both the Trump and Obama Administrations sought to zero out its funding. 115
The Biden Administration in its FY 2023 budget request also sought to terminate 116
appropriations for the program. Fortunately, Congress rejected the request and included 117
level funding for the program in FY 2023. The Kodiak Island Borough opposes the 118
termination of appropriations for this important program. The Borough thanks the 119
Delegation for its on-going support and seeks continued level funding in FY 2024. 120
121
9. Essential Air Service (EAS): The Borough’s communities are highly reliant on the EAS 122
program, its support to air carriers and its requirements for island community service. 123
FAA programs including EAS are due to be reauthorized in this Congress. The debate on 124
FAA reauthorization is typically when Congressional critics of EAS emerge citing the 125
program as a “wasteful corporate subsidy” to the profitable major airlines and seek to 126
either eliminate the program or enact detrimental changes. They overlook the program’s 127
AGENDA ITEM #14.B.2.
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Identifying Federal Project And Program Priorit...Page 36 of 64
Resolution No. FY2023-21 Page 4 of 4
support for air routes that are served by smaller carriers or the fact without the EAS 128
subsidy, the major airlines would either terminate service, reduce it, or raise fares. We 129
urge the Delegation to oppose efforts to cut EAS funding or “reform” the program in ways 130
that would harm air serve on our island. 131
132
10. U.S. Military Arctic Presence: The Borough appreciates the Delegation’s sustained effort 133
at urging and directing the Department of Defense to further examine the Arctic’s strategic 134
interest to the U.S. This past year the Biden Administration released its strategic blueprint 135
and plans (the National Strategy for the Arctic Region) for the Arctic. It has a number of 136
worthy goals and objectives but like predecessor plans from prior administrations lacks 137
details on specific activities and U.S. investments in the Arctic. Meanwhile, Russia and 138
China continue to aggressively push their security interests in the region as evidenced last 139
year by the joint convoy of their military vessels that entered the U.S. EEZ in the Bering 140
Sea. As has been included in our past Resolutions, selection of Kodiak as a potential 141
military base or staging area as the U.S. expands its security presence in the Arctic is a 142
long-term goal for the Borough. We understand this is a multi-year effort, but the Borough 143
urges that Kodiak stay under consideration with the Delegation and Department of 144
Defense for future Arctic security investment. 145
146
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH that: 147
the Kodiak Island Borough administration is hereby instructed to advise Congress and the 148
appropriate agencies of the United States Federal Government of the Capital Improvement 149
Program and other Federal program priorities adopted by the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly. 150

FEDERAL PROJECT AND PROGRAM PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2024 6

WHEREAS, the Alaska Congressional Delegation has requested the views of the Kodiak Island 8
Borough on which Federal projects and programs should be considered priorities, in no particular 9
order, for rural Alaskan communities and their residents. 10
11
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND 12
BOROUGH that: 13
14
The Borough submits the following FY 2024 community project/Congressionally directed 15
spending requests, consistent with guidance issued by the House and Senate Appropriations 16
Committees. 17
18
1. Kodiak Island Hospital Addition $54,390,000 19
The oldest wing of the Kodiak Island Borough owned hospital facility has been assessed 20
and found to be structurally deficient to withstand the impacts of a significant local 21
earthquake. Due to the age of this portion of the facility, a variety of building support 22
systems are failing and require replacement as well. The cost benefit analysis does not 23
result in favor of retrofitting this section of the building. 24
This project proposes to demolish the 3,200 square foot old hospital wing and construct 25
in its place a three-story addition that meets current seismic standards and allows the local 26
hospital facility to meet the needs and regulatory requirements of current and future 27
medical care for the island community of 13,000 people. 28
29
2. St. Herman Harbor Infrastructure Replacement. (Phase I & II) $18,000,000 30
St. Herman Harbor (SHH) was built by the State of Alaska in 1982 and has been a vital 31
facility for Kodiak’s large and diverse commercial fishing fleet for 40 years. The facility 32
provides safe moorage for over 400 vessels from all over Alaska and the West Coast. 33
With the exception of a few minor upgrades over the years, the original float system is 34
beyond its useful life and is in need of replacement. 35
36
The proposed project would result in the reconstruction of St. Herman Harbor with the 37
replacement of most of its float system in four phases. Currently, the harbor has been 38
losing one dock per year due to aging and the elements. A dock loss results in 2 vessel 39
berths along with the revenue generated for the harbor. This rate of failure is likely to 40
increase in future years as the existing docks further deteriorate. The latest inspection 41

Version 2
report shows many portions of the facility are in very poor condition. The forty-year-old 42
float systems suffer from failing concrete, rotting walers and bull rails, and an outdated 43
electrical system. 44
45
In 2022, the City contracted with PND Engineers, Inc. (PND) to prepare a St. Herman 46
Harbor Planning and Scoping Report that includes concept harbor layouts, cost estimates 47
and construction phasing recommendations. The Kodiak Island Borough is supporting the 48
City of Kodiak’s request for $18 million to complete the first two phases. 49
50
Modernizing and expanding our port infrastructure is critical to remaining competitive in 51
maintaining our status as an important commercial fishing community. Waterfront facilities 52
and marine infrastructure are a critical element to the City of Kodiak and the State of 53
Alaska, supporting a large portion of the City’s commerce, industry, transportation, and 54
recreational needs. 55
56
AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that: 57
58
The Kodiak Island Borough’s views and recommendations on priority Federal programs for FY 59

ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
Kodiak Island Borough
SUBJECT: Ordinance FY2023-14 Amending Kodiak Island Borough Code Title 3 Revenue
And Finance, Chapter 35 Real Property Tax, Section 3.35.050 Board Of
Equalization To Correct Phrasing Pertaining To Docket Numbers
ORIGINATOR: Seema Garoutte, Assessor/Interim CDD Director
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to advance Ordinance No. FY2023-14 to public hearing at the next regular meeting of the
Assembly.
DISCUSSION:
There is some confusion between the Assessors Office, the Clerks Office, the Board of Equalization
(BOE) members and the public about the numbering for appeals.
KIBC 3.35.050E 3 states:
3. Appeal Number.
Every appeal shall be assigned a docket number whic h, along with the name of the appellant, shall be
read into the record before the hearings on the appeal may commence.
At looking at the sentence, it could easily be interpreted that an appeal number would also have a docket
number. Assessing only assigns one number to each appeal. Both the public and the BOE members
often look for a number referring to a docket. Therefore, the Assessors Office proposes that the words
"a docket" be changed to "an appeal," and seeks Assembly approval.
The appeal "season" begins March 1, 2023. Thank you

SUBJECT: Approval Of A Letter Of Support For The Application For Recertification Of
Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council (PWSRCAC)
ORIGINATOR: Aimee Williams, Borough Mayor
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to approve the letter of support for the recertification of Prince William Sound Regional
Citizens' Advisory Council.
DISCUSSION:
This letter is in support of the recertification submitted by the Prince William Sound Regional
Citizen's Advisory Council (PWSRCAC).
The Coast Guard seeks comments on, the application for recertification submitted by the Prince
William Sound Regional Citizen's Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) from March 1, 2022, through
February 28, 2023. Under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), the Coast Guard may certify
on an annual basis, the PWSRCAC. This advisory group monitors the activities of terminal
facilities and crude oil tankers under the Prince William Sound program established by the
statute. The Coast Guard may certify an alternative voluntary advisory group in lieu of the
PWSRCAC. The current certification for the PWSRCAC will expire February 28, 2023.

RE: PWSRCAC Recertification Docket USCG-2022-0707
To Whom It May Concern:
The Kodiak Island Borough supports recertification of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’
Advisory Council (PWSRCAC). The council is seeking recertification as the voluntary advisory
group for Prince William Sound, Alaska, under the Oil Terminal and Oil Tanker Environmental
Oversight and Monitoring Act of 1990. The PWSRCAC was established after the Exxon Valdez
oil spill and has worked diligently since then to fulfill its mission: citizens promoting
environmentally safe operation of the Alyeska terminal and associated tankers.
PWSRCAC works with industry and regulators to ensure response readiness, evaluate risks, and
propose solutions. We hope you will recertify PWSRCAC as the citizens’ advisory group for Prince
William Sound. The Kodiak Island Borough has found the Council, as required by the act, to be
very responsive and competent in carrying out its duties and responsibilities similar to the ones
enumerated below:
• Monitoring weather in Prince William Sound: The Council maintains two weather buoys
in Port Valdez: one near the terminal, the other near the Valdez Duck Flats. These buoys
will improve understanding of weather conditions in Port Valdez that could affect marine
vessel safety and movement of spilled oil, as well as help with decisions regarding the
timing of protecting environmentally sensitive sites in the area. The Council works with the
Alaska Ocean Observing System and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s PORTS® (Physical Oceanographic Real Time System) to share the data
collected by these buoys.
• Monitoring of snow damage to crude oil storage tank vents: The Council has been
monitoring efforts to address the substantial tank vent damage that occurred at the Valdez
Marine Terminal in February and March of 2022, and the subsequent work by Alyeska
and state and federal regulators to investigate this incident, repair the vents, and prevent
a reoccurrence. While no substantial injuries were associated with this event, and no fire
or explosion occurred, the Council believes this event was a near miss and could have
resulted in devastating
• consequences. The subsequent actions taken by Alyeska, and state and federal
regulators,

• will be critical to ensure that such snow damage does not occur to the tank vents or other
critical infrastructure at the terminal in the future.
• Ensuring the adequacy of secondary containment liners: The steel crude oil storage
tanks at the Valdez Marine Terminal are required to have secondary containment systems
around them in order to protect ground and surface water from contamination in the event
of an oil spill. Part of those systems is a liner that is supposed to hold spilled oil until it can
be cleaned up. Investigations from 2014-2017 showed that there were cracks and holes
in the liner, indicating it may not prevent water contamination if a spill occurred from one
of the large crude tanks. The Council has asked the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation (ADEC) to take steps to ensure the liner would prevent such water
contamination. Additionally, the Council is contracting with a geotechnical engineering
expert to identify non-destructive methods to evaluate the secondary containment liner
and determine how much of the liner should be tested in order to have confidence in the
results.
• Environmental monitoring: PWSRCAC continues its Long-Term Environmental
Monitoring Program (LTEMP), initiated in 1993, to monitor hydrocarbons and their effects
in our region. The Council also supports citizen-based monitoring efforts in its region,
particularly for the invasive European green crab and invasive tunicates. The Council has
continued its work monitoring sensitive species in Prince William Sound that may be
impacted and could use additional protection during an oil spill response. The second of
three anticipated years of at-sea marine bird surveys took place in March 2022, identifying
important wintertime nearshore habitat and areas of high bird density. The fourth and final
year of aerial forage fish surveys was conducted in June 2022. “Forage fish” are species
that are preyed on by larger predators, and include Pacific herring, Pacific sand lance,
capelin, and candlefish.
• Monitoring of cleanup drills and spill response: PWSRCAC devotes considerable
effort to monitoring drills, exercises, and training events, as well as the responses to actual
incidents, which fortunately are relatively rare in Prince William Sound. Staff often
participate as a member of drill planning teams along with ADEC, USCG, and industry,
and drill monitoring reports are prepared by staff and contractors. When significant spills
occur, Council staff, Board members, and volunteers work with Alyeska staff to understand
why they occurred and how Alyeska would prevent similar incidents in the future.
• Review of Valdez Marine Terminal and Prince William Sound Tanker Oil Spill
Contingency Plans: As part of our OPA 90 mandate, PWSRCAC reviews and comments
on changes to oil spill prevention and response plans that cover the Valdez Marine
Terminal and tankers that transit Prince William Sound. PWSRCAC participates in a
workgroup consisting of industry, regulators, and stakeholders, which meets on a quarterly
basis to discuss conditions of approval and improvements to the terminal plan.
Additionally, PWSRCAC participates on drill and exercise design teams with industry and
regulators that test response readiness. In 2022, the Council commissioned a report that
documented the history of the oil discharge prevention and contingency plan for Prince
William Sound oil tankers.

• Testing devices used to deploy messenger lines: Passing a messenger line is the first
step in setting up a tow line between a rescue tug and a tanker in distress. This can be a
difficult and dangerous task. In 2021, the Council sponsored a study of devices used to
deploy a messenger line. In 2022, field trials testing various devices were conducted as
follow up to recommendations included in the original study. Results will be used to
develop a set of recommended practices that will be shared with industry and regulators.
• Course on shiphandling customized for Alaska: In 2022, the Council commissioned
AVTEC Maritime Training Center in Seward, Alaska, to develop a shiphandling course
specific to Alaska. This new coursework will better prepare mariners for handling vessels
in Prince William Sound and Alaska. The scenarios are based on real activities and use
high-resolution data previously funded by the Council. AVTEC was notified in April 2022
that both the basic and advanced shiphandling courses received approval by the U.S.
Coast Guard and was subsequently add to the AVTEC schedule.
• Oil spill planning for the Copper River Delta and Flats: The Council commissioned a
report documenting the current state and history of developing sensitive area protection
strategies (also known as geographic response strategies or GRS) for the Copper River
Delta and Flats region. The goal of this project was to better understand what drove the
development of these past strategies, what exercise activity and training had occurred in
this region to date, and what content is still relevant today. The Council would like to see
this information updated and once again referenced in Prince William Sound Area
contingency planning documents.
PWSRCAC works with industry and regulators to ensure response readiness, evaluate risks, and
propose solutions. We hope you will recertify PWSRCAC as the citizens’ advisory group for Prince
William Sound. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (907) 942-9181.

Chief Lee Finlayson reported that he is waiting for the next steps on the vehicle purchase.He
said that Bayside has been waiting so long for the grant for the turnout gear that they are going to
move forward as if they did not receive it.At this point he believes that there will be no
movement on the grant.Bayside has three quotes for turnout gear but they are void because the
NFPA has updated their standards for turnout gear.

Regarding: Alaska Aerospace - Pacific Spaceport Complex — Alaska, Kodiak, Alaska
January 10, 2023 Jet -A Release and Combustion - Pad 3C Spill Response
ADEC Spill No. 23249901002; RSE Project No. 23-2629 (Revision 1)
Jade and James -
BACKGROUND
Restoration Science & Engineering, LLC (RSE) is providing this work plan for a site
reconnaissance visit to Alaska Aerospace Corporation's (AA) Pacific Spaceport Complex—Alaska
(PSCA) in Kodiak, Alaska. The RSE visit is scheduled for the week of January 23, 2023 and will
conduct initial assessment of the impact from the release of up to 5,200 gallons of Jet A fuel that
occurred on January 10, 2023. The fuel release occurred during an ABL Space Systems rocket
launch anomaly at the complex resulting in the rocket impact near Pad 3C shortly after liftoff.
Included with the fuel spill was fire damage to surrounding infrastructure at PSCA. This work plan
was prepared in response to requests from AA personnel to conduct a site visit and preliminary
assessment of impacts from the fuel spill and resulting fire for cleanup planning purposes. Based
on the assessment, RSE along with Brechan Construction, LLC (Brechan) will develop a work
plan to address the work required for cleanup completion at PSCA.
SITE RECONNAISANCE JANUARY 23-25,2023
During the proposed site visit and assessment, RSE will work with local Kodiak contractor
Brechan. Brechan will provide labor, equipment and materials required for the assessment which
will include test pit excavation, soil screening and soil and groundwater sample collection to assess
the spill impact limits.
SOIL FIELD SCREENING AND SOIL AND GROUNDWATER SAMPLING
The intent of next week's visit is to gain sufficient information through soil field screening and
soil and groundwater sample collection to develop a work plan to further address impacted soil,
bedrock and groundwater during a future removal effort.
Soil field screening while test pitting will be by ambient temperature headspace method, using a
photoionization detector (ATH/PID) to measure relative hydrocarbon concentrations. For the
ATH/PID method, soil samples are collected using a clean stainless-steel spoon to place soil into
Alaska Aerospace— Pad 3C Jet A Release: Revision 1 January 25, 2023
new ZiplocTm quart -sized bags. The bags are warmed to approximately 45 — 55 °F by staging the
soil -filled bags in a warm vehicle, then the headspace within the bag measured using a mini -RAE
LiteTM PID. RSE field personnel will note the sample ID, location, depth, soil classification, and
the PID reading for each sample. All soil removed from test pit for field screening will be placed
back into the pit after sampling and observation. Samples with the highest ATH/PID readings, or
samples used for impact delineation will be submitted to ADEC-approved laboratory, SGS North
America, Inc. (SGS) in Anchorage for analysis. Based on field screening and laboratory analytical
results, a work plan will be developed for a future cleanup effort.
The cleanup effort will be designed to remediate the rocket impacts at Pad C to meet ADEC
Migration to Groundwater (MTG) soil cleanup levels. Currently the quantity of hydrocarbon -
impacted soil and groundwater is unknown, however the impacts could be fairly widespread
around the site of the rocket impact. This is based on a report from Brechan of initial observations
during a preliminary site visit shortly after the incident. Based on these observations, RSE will
collect characterization samples during the test pitting effort to gather information on hydrocarbon
impacts as well as the effects of the resulting fire and firefighting effort. Based on further
information gained from test pitting, soil screening and soil and groundwater sampling effort, RSE
will estimate excavation quantities and evaluate treatment and/or disposal options for soil and
contaminated groundwater. This information will be the basis of a subsequent cleanup work plan.
PROJECT CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN
The initial contaminant of potential concern (COPC) is Jet A fuel hydrocarbon components,
however the resulting fire damaged surrounding Pad C infrastructure which included electrical
components, forklifts and other support equipment. Based on the discussions with AA and Brechan
personnel RSE understands that locations of various potential subsidiary contaminant sources have
been identified and will be assessed as possible during the field effort for any site-specific
contaminants (batteries, lube oil, hydraulic oil etc.)
In addition, the firefighting effort and suppression materials may have also added to project COPCs
but current information indicates tht no "exotic" chemicals such as PFAS/PFOAs were used for
fire suppression. Some of the additional contaminants may be present and include rocket
components, electrical cables, rubber tires, lead acid batteries, hydraulic and lube oils and other
stored fluids and components which may have been consumed in the fire or impact. Based on the
unknown, this work plan covers a comprehensive suite of COPCs, which may become more
specific for the follow-on work based on laboratory results. Currently, the project COPCs, the test
methods, abbreviations and MTG cleanup levels for soil and groundwater cleanup levels are
outlined in Table I for soil and Table 2 for groundwater.

INVESTIGATIVE DERIVED WASTE
Consumables generated from the site reconnaissance such as plastic bags, gloves and used jars will
be placed into a trash receptacle for disposal in the local landfill. Non -consumables such as spoons,
and other field equipment will be decontaminated using Alconox and hot water at RSE's
equipment room in Anchorage.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL
RSE will collect each sample in general accordance with applicable ADEC regulations and
guidance documents. Blind duplicate samples of both soil and groundwater will be collected at a
frequency of 10%, with no less than one (1) blind duplicate sample collected per media. RSE will
submit one (1) trip blank with each sample cooler containing volatile samples for each matrix.
RSE will complete an ADEC Laboratory Review checklist for each laboratory report received.
RSE will document any deviations to typical field sampling protocol and note any changes that
may affect the data objectives. Containers, preservation and holding times for soil and groundwater
samples are provided in Tables 3 and 4. SGS laboratory analytical method data quality objectives
are provided in Attachment A.
SITE RECONAISSANCE OBJECTIVES AND REPORTING
This initial reconnaissance effort is intended to accomplish several objectives as outlined in the
following:
0 Delineate the extent of the fuel impacted area through test pitting and field screening;
Alaska Aerospace — Pad 3C Jet A Release: Revision I January 25, 2023
• Based on test pitting, estimate the amount of soil required to be removed to meet ADEC
MTG cleanup levels;
• Based on the amount of soil to be removed, develop a strategy for soil treatment/disposal;
• Collect soil samples for laboratory analysis. Based on laboratory results, develop a final
COPC list for the soil remedial action;
• Based on the test pitting effort, estimate the amount of groundwater to be removed for
treatment/disposal;
• Collect groundwater samples for laboratory analysis; based on laboratory results, develop
a strategy for groundwater treatment/disposal; and
• Based on the above findings, develop a cleanup work plan. The results of the site
reconnaissance will also be summarized in the subsequent work plan.
Please contact either David Nyman PE at 907-229-7333 or Peter Hannon, MS at 907-350-4074
with any questions or comments you have on the above work plan for the site reconnaissance
scheduled for next week, or with your approval to proceed with the work. We look forward to
hearing from you and getting started on this project.

Kerosene and Jet Fuel Spills
Definition
Kerosene is a light refined product (C6 -C16) that has a lower boiling point range than diesel/No. 2 fuel oils. Jet -A
(freeze point of -40°C) and Jet -A1 (freeze point of -47°C) are highly refined kerosene -type fuels used in
commercial and general aviation turbine engines. JP -8 is military fuel that similar to Jet -A1 but contains
additional additives (de-icing, antibacterial, anti -corrosive and anti -static agents), that are added in amounts
equal to a few 100 ppm. These are the most commonly used jet fuels today.
Properties
• All of these light refined fuels are composed light hydrocarbons with a relatively narrow boiling range
and have low viscosities, meaning that, when spilled on open water, most of the oil will evaporate or
naturally disperse within a day or less (see ADIOS® oil weathering plots on the next page). Thus, seldom
is there any oil on the surface for responders to recover from open water.
• These oils are much lighter than water (specific gravity is 0.77-0.85, compared to 1.00 for freshwater
and 1.03 for seawater). The API gravity is >40.
• Water solubility at 70°F ranges from 50-80 ppm and is linear with temperature. The water-soluble
fraction contains about 6-7 ppm aromatics, which are mostly the mono -aromatic compounds, with
xylenes, ethylbenzene, and trimethylbenzenes being the dominant compounds in solution.
• Kerosene and jet fuels are virtually clear and extremely difficult to see on the water.
Environmental Behavior
• When spilled on water, kerosene -type oils spread very quickly to a thin film. Even when the oil is
described as a heavy sheen, its thickness may be less than 0.0004 inches (0.01 millimeters) and there
will be about 1,000 gallons per square nautical mile of continuous coverage. The volume of oil in areas
covered by streamers would be much less. Silver sheen only contains about 75 gallons per square
nautical mile.
• Jet fuel or kerosene that is dispersed in the water column can adhere to fine-grained suspended
sediments, which then settle out and get deposited on the bottom of a waterbody. This process is more
likely to occur in streams and rivers with significant suspended sediment loads. It is less likely to occur
in open marine settings. This process is not likely to result in measurable sediment contamination for
small spills.
• Kerosene -type fuels are not very sticky or viscous, compared to black oils. When small spills do strand
on the shoreline, the oil tends to penetrate porous sediments quickly, but also to be washed off quickly
by waves and tidal flushing. Thus, shoreline cleanup may not be needed.
• Where larger amounts of oil soak into wetland soils, expect high mortality of animals and plants.
• Kerosene -type fuels are completely degraded by naturally occurring microbes, under time frames of 1-
2 months when there is sufficient oxygen. Fuel that has penetrated to 1 ft in sandy soils can take more
than 18 months to degrade. Nutrient addition and vegetation may speed this process in soils.
Environmental Effects
• The rapid loss by evaporation for spills to open water reduces the exposure to aquatic organisms, thus
fish kills are seldom reported.
Spills to small streams with dense vegetation cover will evaporate much slower, allowing the fuel to
persist and impact both animals and vegetation. For example, the release of 112,000 gallons of JP -5
into a mangrove creek in Puerto Rico in October 1999 resulted in impacts to 50 acres of mangrove
forest and mortality of 30 acres. There was extensive mortality of fish, shellfish, and birds. A culvert
was plugged to prevent the fuel from spreading further downstream, which raised the water level by 3
ft. The mangrove canopy slowed evaporation, allowing recovery of 15-20% of the spilled fuel.
Jet fuels are relatively less acutely toxic than diesel. Aquatic organisms that come in direct contact with
naturally dispersed and entrained jet fuel in the water column may be killed. However, small spills in open
water may not result in fish kills. Fish kills may occur for small spills in confined, shallow water and in
streams, where weathering and mixing are reduced. Fish and invertebrates in small streams can be affected
for miles downstream of a jet fuel release into the water.
