AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
The residents of the Bells Flats and Russian River Subdivisions in Womens Bay on Kodiak Island
(Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2) have experienced frequent flooding from Russian River (denoted as
Russian Creek in federal or state documents) and Sargent Creeks, causing bank erosion, loss of
individual property, and public safety concerns with the inundation of Sargent Creek Road. Womens
Bay is an unincorporated community, with no local government structure; Kodiak Island Borough
(KIB or Borough) provides much of the infrastructure and government support.
The Borough has recognized the need to address this flooding, in particular because Sargent Creek
Road is a critical facility for the Borough, providing the only access in or out of the Bells Flats
Subdivision and the Womens Bay Fire Station, which also serves as the local emergency responder
and emergency shelter for the Womens Bay community residents. Maintaining access on Sargent
Creek is critical for the health, safety, and welfare of the community's residents (Kodiak Island
Borough, 2025b) (Kodiak Island Borough, 2008).

Road maintenance is provided by the Borough through the establishment of a Road Service Area
(RSA), which are governed by a board of directors elected by RSA residents. The board of directors
develop annual road maintenance and improvement plans each fiscal year based on input received
from Borough Engineering & Facilities (E/F) Department staff and residents (Kodiak Island Borough,
2025a). No improvements to Sargent Creek Road have been made since the late 2000s.
The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (AKDOT&PF) has been developing
plans for the Chiniak Highway Rehabilitation (State / Federal Project Nos. SFHWY00111 / 0391015)
since 2023. The project goal is to "extend the life of the existing roadway by addressing poor
pavement conditions, rehabilitating the roadway embankment, improving unstable slopes, and
reducing the impact of coastal erosion." AKDOT&PF is on schedule to construct the first project —
rehabilitation from Frank Creek to Mayflower Beach Trails in 2026, south of Womens Bay. The
remaining project phases will be designed and constructed at a future date, but the AKDOT's primary
project goal is to extend the service life of the existing roadway, not to reduce flooding (Alaska
Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, 2025).

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
AKDOT's current State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) highlights the Sargent Creek Bridge
(#0989) as eligible for immediate replacement in 2026 due to structural deficiencies. Both the
Sargent Creek and Russian River bridges have been evaluated as structurally poor, with substructure
components exposed and damaged. AKDOT is in the process of completing a Planning and
Environmental Linkage Study for both Sargent Creek and Russian River bridges to be utilized for the
design of new bridges in the next 5 years (State / Federal Project Nos. SFHWY00459 / 0391016). The
bridge replacement will be supported by a concurrent Planning and Environmental Linkages study,
conducted by AKDOT's consultants, to determine a longer -term and sustainable solution for the
bridge crossing (Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, 2024). These projects
present an opportunity for Borough E/F staff to collaborate with AKDOT and develop a mutually -
beneficial, long-term replacement design that incorporates aspects of flood reduction for the Bells
Flats and Russian River subdivision residents as a project goal.
1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This report provides an independent analysis of the hydrology and hydraulics of the West Rezanof
Drive bridges over Sargent Creek (#0989) and Russian River (#0990), in Womens Bay on Kodiak
Island, Alaska. Commissioned by the Kodiak Island Borough, this report assesses and documents
the existing hydrological and hydraulic conditions affecting both bridge crossings, as well as the
conditions of the only road into the Bells Flats community, Sargent Creek Road (Figure 1-3).

goals of extended service life and enhanced bridge safety, while also improving the performance of
the local road system during extreme weather events and regular seasonal variations. These
recommendations, discussed further in Section 4, include roadway modifications, improved
drainage solutions, and environmental management strategies.
1.2 OBJECTIVES AND GOALS
The objectives of the current project are to conduct and model the existing hydrologic and hydraulic
conditions of Sargent Creek and Russian River at the West Rezanof Drive crossings through regional
regression equations and 2-D hydraulic modeling with HEC-RAS. This approach will aid in the
identification of critical areas of concern and analysis of potential flood mitigation alternatives.
Through research, data collection, and community input, this project offers a comprehensive
approach that considers all relevant factors to maintain community access, road safety, and
infrastructure resilience in the Bells Flats region.
The project goals include:
• Improvingflood management
• Providing clear and comprehensive reporting
• Supporting Kodiak Island Borough to secure future funding
The objectives of this project aim to address the hydrologic and hydraulic challenges in the Womens
Bay watershed, improve flood management, and enhance the overall ecological and community
resilience of the Bells Flats region.
1.3 PROJECT AREA OVERVIEW
Womens Bay is defined by rugged mountain ridges that rise to over 3,000 feet in elevation. Russian
River and Sargent Creek headwaters are each found in valleys with steep, narrow sides. Several other
steep tributaries along the mountainside join the main channels of Russian River and Sargent Creek
(Figure 1-4). Lower in the watershed valley, this system's transfer and depositional zone becomes
Less steep and broadens out. Valleys are "U" shaped with low -relief topography and high
connectivity to the floodplain. Within this valley area, both systems contain several lakes at various
altitudes as well as tidal and nontidal wetlands (Kodiak Island Borough, 2006).

Figure 1-4. Russian and Sargent Creeks Watershed
A dynamic and complex river delta is present at the mouth of Russian River and Sargent Creek, with
the West Rezanof Drive acting as a physical barrier to the dynamic movement of both creeks (Figure
1-5). The highway impedes free flow in the channel, causing water to slow down and pond on the
west side of the highway and deposit sediment and fine material. The highway also pins the channel
in place, preventing it from making natural alignment adjustments, creating a disconnect between
the channel and its floodplain, and creating higher flows through the crossing which can prevent
aquatic organism / anadromous fish passage.

The cornerstone of anadromous fish protection in Alaska is the Anadromous Fish Act (AK Stat.
§16.05.871 - .901), which mandates the protection of streams and rivers that support the life cycle
of salmon and other anadromous species. This act requires that any activity affecting these
waterways be reviewed and approved by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G),
ensuring that projects are designed to minimize impact on fish habitat and passage. Both Sargent
Creek and the Russian River are listed with the ADF&G's "Catalog of Waters Important for the
Spawning Rearing or Migration of Anadromous Fishes," or the Anadromous Waters Catalog, and
afforded additional protection under the act. As anadromous waterways they supply important
ecological function to the aquatic species of Womens Bay, summarized in Table 1-1 below.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
Topographic data was collected from available IFSAR DTM Hillshade (5-meter resolution) terrain
data from State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys and supplemented by on -
the -ground survey data collected by Scot Menzies, P.E., LPS, of Menzies Engineering Group. In
addition, Sydney Doidge, P.E., and Jess Straub of River Focus, completed a site visit reconnaissance
of the project area November 4-8, 2024, to validate the project modeling and analysis.
The team completed topographic and bathymetric surveys of both streams, though bathymetric data
collected underneath the Russian River Bridge was limited due to high water levels. Sargent Creek
and Russian River site assessments also included visual and survey assessment of the bridge
superstructure and substructure components, the highway and Sargent Creek Road, in addition to
measurements and observations of the creek hydrology, hydraulics, geology and geomorphology.
2.1 DATA COLLECTION METHODS AND MANAGEMENT
SURVEY DATA
The topographic and bathymetric survey
data is referenced to the North American
Datum of 1983, revision of 2011 (horizontal
control ( NAD83 [2011]), Alaska State Plane
Zone 5, feet. The vertical datum was
established using a GPS STATIC observation
with an OPUS correction converted to mean
Lower low water (MLLW) vertical datum in
feet. Vertical and horizontal survey control
were set with a minimum of 0.1-foot
accuracy and is shown in Figure 2-1.
The project team collected 1,150 feet of
Longitudinal profile elevations along Sargent._ 1
Creek. Eight cross sections were collected _
on Sargent Creek, four upstream of the
bridge and four downstream of the bridge. Figure 2-1: Survey data extents taken onNovember 4thtoSth,2024.
The project team collected 1,247 feet of
Longitudinal profile elevations along Russian River. Eight cross sections were collected on Russian
River, four upstream of the bridge and four downstream of the bridge. See Appendix A for the details
on the project data collection.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
DRONE DATA
To enhance the topography in the study area, River Focus deployed an Autel III drone that provided
advanced aerial images (i.e., orthoimagery). The drone flight path was strategically extended
approximately 300 feet upstream, beyond the extent of the existing topographic and bathymetric
surveys, to photograph several additional acres of overbank and floodplain areas, that are essential
for understanding the hydraulic and geomorphic dynamics of the creeks.
The orthoimagery collected during this flight provided high -resolution surface data, and when
merged with the topography and bathymetric datasets, created a more comprehensive, and cost-
effective, DTM forthe study and analyses. This combined DTM is the basis for our hydraulic analysis,
and allows for detailed water flow simulations and flood risk assessments. The detailed aerial
imagery enhances the understanding of the study area's physical landscape and can aid in effective
floodplain management and geomorphic assessments.
RESIDENT INTERVIEWS
Before the November 2024 site visit, residents of Bells Flats were invited to share their experiences
and observations regarding flooding in the area through mailings, posts on social media, and
announcements on the borough website. River Focus facilitated an open house event at the Kodiak
Fire Station on November 6, 2024, to present the objectives of this study and solicit input on how
flooding has impacted residents. Their input was crucial, as it provided valuable historical context
and insights into the severity and frequency of flooding events. Alongside media coverage from past
flood incidents, the residents' accounts allowed us to develop a thorough understanding of how
flooding impacted both the upper reaches of the watershed and specific areas such as Sargent
Creek Road.
During the discussions, residents described a particularly significant flood event in July of 2024 in
which the water level on Sargent Creek Road rose to the height of their truck tires, illustrating the
magnitude of the flooding. Residents also report that Sargent Creek Road overtops at least three
times between May and September everyyear.
This information from residents was instrumental in refining our hydraulic models, enabling us to
more accurately assess flood risks and inform future planning and response strategies for the area.
2.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS LIMITATIONS
Despite the comprehensive data collection efforts, several limitations were identified in the study.
The spatial extent of the survey data was confined to specific reaches of Sargent and Russian Rivers,
which may not fully capture the broader floodplain dynamics or upstream concerns. The IFSAR 5m
resolution was not detailed enough to assess the landowner properties or structures outside of the
area surveyed during the site visit. Although drone imagery extended the coverage upstream further
than project limits, some overbank and peripheral areas may still be underrepresented as well as
upstream landowner properties.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
Additionally, the data represents a single point in time and does not account for seasonal or
interannual variability in creek morphology or flood behavior. The resident interviews, while valuable
for historical context, are anecdotal in nature and may lack precise measurements or consistent
documentation, introducing potential bias. Furthermore, environmental factors such as climate
variability, land use changes, and upstream developments could influence flooding patterns in ways
not fully captured by the current dataset. Lastly, the conversion of vertical data to the Mean Lower
Low Water (MLLW) datum using OPUS corrections may introduce minor inaccuracies due to local
tidal variations.
Although there are some limitations in the available data, the current study still provides very useful
results for flood planning and mitigation.
3.1 HYDROLOGIC ANALYSIS
WATERSHED CHARACTERISTICS
The Sargent Creek and Russian River watersheds together encompass an area of-42.6 square miles,
showcasing a diverse range of ecosystems (Figure 1-4). The headwaters are in the alpine tundra,
marked by resilient shrubs and a harsh climate. As the water flows from the headwaters, it descends
into lush spruce forests that provide crucial habitat for diverse wildlife. Continuing to lower
elevations, the landscape flattens, creating transitional and depositional zones dominated by
mature spruce trees, which support a variety of understory plants and animals.
The watershed culminates at the coastal wetlands near the mouth of Womens Bay. This region is
primarily characterized by an abundance of wetland forbs, which thrive in the saturated soil
conditions. Overall, the Sargent Creek and Russian River watershed presents a complex and
dynamic environment, reflecting the interplay between various ecological zones.
WATERSHED DELINEATION METHOD AND AREA
A GIS analysis was performed to calculate the watershed area and drainage directions for Sargent
Creek and Russian River using the IFSAR DTM Hillshade (5-meter resolution) and ArcGIS Pro's
hydrology toolset. The IFSAR DTM raster data was first analyzed with the flow direction tool, which
aligns the flow direction with the steepest downslope direction. Next, the flow accumulation tool
was utilized alongside the snap pour point to identify how the accumulated flows across the DTM
and their pour point. The final steps utilized the watershed delineation tool to calculate watershed
areas.
Sargent Creek encompasses a watershed area of —16.6 square miles, while Russian River covers a
Larger watershed area of —26.0 square miles. These are considered small -sized watersheds, which
are crucial in local ecology and hydrology.

PEAK DISCHARGE ESTIMATES
The peak discharges for Sargent Creek and Russian River are shown in Table 1. To estimate the peak
discharges events for Sargent Creek and Russian River this report considered the following methods:
1. Stream Gauge and Basin Transfer
2. Rational Method
3. USGS Regional Regression Equation
Stream Gauge and Basin Transfer
There are no stream gauges located on either Sargent Creek or Russian River; however, there are two
stream gauges are present on the north side of Kodiak Island, Red Cloud River (15297475) and Terror
River (15295700) and shown in Figure 3-1. Unfortunately, neither stream gauge was appropriate for
a hydrologic basin transfer to Sargent Creek or Russian River.

watersheds associated with Sargent Creek and Russian River, which do not align with those of the
regions where the stream gauges are present.
Rational Method
The study also examined the applicability of the rational method. However, it was determined that
this method was not suitable for Sargent Creek and Russian River, as both watersheds exceed the
recommended maximum size of 300 acres for this technique to be effective.
For a complete understanding of the full Women's Bay watershed, it's recommended to develop a
comprehensive hydrologic model using high resolution terrain data. Given the watershed's size and
complexity, in future analysis, a model like HEC-HMS is advised for better hydrologic evaluation.

area for this study is outlined in white in Figure 3-2.
Final Report
A detailed hydraulic analysis was
completed using the Hydrologic
Engineering Center's River Analysis
System (HEC-RAS version 6.6) to build a
comprehensive 2D hydraulic model that
encompasses both Sargent Creek and
Russian River and their floodplains.
For this modeling effort, we used
combined terrain data discussed in
Section 2.1, which included high -
resolution survey data collected from the
field and drone imagery captured in
November 2024, along with the IFSAR
hillshade DTM. The hydraulic analysis 2D
The model was designed to simulate various peak flow discharges, as outlined in Table 3-1. These
discharges were crucial for assessing the hydraulic behavior of the water courses under different
flow conditions, ultimately informing flood risk management and planning strategies for the region.
RESULTS
Based on the results from the HEC-RAS modeling, even with the 2-year event, Sargent Creek Road
begins to experience flooding. The floodwaters of Sargent Creek begin to overtop their banks and
flow alongside the west highway abutment, pooling in the low area where Sargent Creek Road meets
the West Rezanof Drive. Meanwhile, the flowfrom Russian River is still contained within its channel.
In the modeled 5-year event, Sargent Creek Road begins to
overtop and receives surface flows, shown in Figure 3-3. The
flows in Sargent Creek and Russian River are 1,560 cfs and
1,094 cfs, respectively.
In the 10-year event, Sargent Creek Road is inundated and
has a maximum water depth of 0.9 feet and a maximum
velocity of 2.2 feet per second (fps) at the roadway sag point
near the intersection with West Rezanof Drive. The National

3.3 SEA -LEVEL RISE ANALYSIS
Addressing sea -level rise considerations within hydraulic models is crucial for coastal regions. In
areas in Alaska like Womens Bay, where the landmass is experiencing uplift due to post -glacial
rebound, a phenomenon where the land rises as a result of the removal of the weight of ice sheets,
the conventional application of projected sea -level rise is not directly applicable.
Instead, the relative sea level, which is the sealevel relative to the land, is decreasing. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has carefully evaluated the relationship between
global sea level trends and local vertical land movement. NOAA incorporated this evaluation with
Long-term geological data, precise geodetic measurements, and regional climate projections to
develop accurate and representative relative sea -level trend models.
Because sea -level rise can have a direct impact on the longevity and resilience of major
infrastructure, like bridges, we have included a brief assessment of the potential impact of sea level
rise on Sargent and Russian River flooding.
METHODS
NOAA maintains the National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON), which consists of over
200 permanent water level stations across the coasts and Great Lakes that are used to provide
official tide predictions for the nation country (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
2025). The nearest water level station to the study area is the Kodiak Island, AK station, Site No.
9457292 (3-6). Utilizing NOAA's relative sea -level trend for Kodiak Island (site no. 9457292), Kodiak
Island is assessed as experiencing an annual decrease of -9.53 mm (+/- 0.68 mm) with a confidence
of 95%. NOAA site no. 9457292 data is based on monthly sea level data from 1964 to 2024, shown in
Figure 3-6.

Final Report
Using NOAA's data for site no. 9457292 in
Kodiak, we applied the MHHW elevation of
7.89 ft (Figure 3-7) to the hydraulic model's
downstream boundary condition for the base
scenario. In addition, this study also used the
maximum observed tide of 12.7 ft to model
extreme conditions and a minimum Mean Low
Water (MLW) condition of 0.22 ft to
approximate a free flowing outfall.
Given the ongoing geological uplift of Kodiak

methodology. This exclusion is based on the understanding that the region's vertical land movement
significantly modifies the relative sea -level dynamics, which could lead to a misinterpretation of
potential inundation risks and associated impacts. By not incorporating sea -level rise, the study
aims to provide a clearer evaluation of the island's unique geological and anthropogenic factors.
3.4 MODELED MITIGATION ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The mitigation alternatives analysis for this study employed a systematic process to identify,
evaluate, and select the most appropriate strategies to increase flood conveyance while minimizing
or offsetting any adverse environmental, community, and infrastructure impacts of the project.
Understanding the existing environmental conditions, fluvial geomorphology, and structural
characteristics was crucial for our analysis.
In November 2024, we undertook comprehensive site assessments and collected input from
residents of Womens Bay through interviews and various media channels.
Using our assessment data, topography and bathymetry, and the existing conditions hydrology and
hydraulic base models, we then evaluated each alternative being considered by AK DOT. The goal of
this assessment is to quantify each alternative's effectiveness in reducing flood depth, lateral flood
extents, and channel migration potential. Alternatives evaluated:
1. AKDOT PEL proposed conditions —guidebanks
2. Raise Sargent Creek Road
3. Floodplain culvert along raised Sargent Creek Road
4. Floodplain culverts along the highway
5. Bridge span extensions

ALTERNATIVE 1: AK DOT PEL PROPOSED CON DITIONS—GUIDEBANKS
The first alternative evaluated was the AK DOT proposed preliminary
design for guidebanks, taken from the RFP for a Planning and
Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study as the State's preferred potential
mitigation effort (Alaska Department of Transportation and Public
Facilities, 2024)
For Sargent Creek, the preliminary layout is shown in Appendix E and
includes the following:
• Installing 2,340 linear feet of guidebank to direct flow away
from Sargent Creek Road
• Regrading the channel to a bankfull width of 120 feet and a
floodplain width of 200 feet
• Maintaining the span of the bridge
• Increasing the deck elevation by 1.5 feet
For Russian River, the preliminary layout is shown in Appendix E1 and
consist of:
• Installing 1,824 linear feet of guidebank to direct flows into the
south channel
• Regrading the channel to a bankfull width of 90 feet without
modifications to the floodplain
• Maintaining the span of the bridge
• Increasing the deck elevation by 1.5 feet
Results from this proposed mitigation effort were modeled and can be

The second alternative evaluated raising Sargent Creek Road. Sargent Creek Road has a significant
drop as it leaves the Bells Flats region heading east to the highway. The road descends to an elevation
of 13.2 feet before it intersects with the highway, which is at 19.1 feet.
This study examined the possibility of raising the elevation of Sargent Creek Road as a potential
mitigation measure to reduce flood risk by removing the existing sag point that allows floodwaters to
overtop. The proposed changes would elevate the road to match the highway's elevation of 19.1 feet
and involve grading approximately 680 linear feet of the road to transition westward into the existing
roadway, which is at an elevation of about 17.5 feet.
This mitigation effort would require minimal permits, is constructible, and cost-effective to provide
access to the Bells Flats region. The change in road profile is shown in Figure 3-10.

ALTERNATIVE 3: FLOODPLAIN CULVERT ALONG RAISED SARGENT CREEK ROAD
The third alternative assessed the
installation of a pipe -arch culvert along
Sargent Creek Road to enhance flood
conveyance efficiency, reduce surface flow
over the roadway, and enable lateral
passage for aquatic organisms. This
alternative would necessitate elevating the
roadway to establish sufficient hydraulic
clearance for the culvert's installation,
thereby optimizing both hydrological and
ecological functions.
The pipe -arch culvert is engineered to
operate as a floodplain conveyance
structure, optimizing hydraulic flow
conditions by facilitating the unobstructed
passage of increased water volumes
beneath Sargent Creek Road. The
dimensions of the modeled pipe -arch
culvert are as follows: a span of 5.75 feet, a
rise of 3.5 feet, and an overall length of 55 feet.
This configuration is intended to enhance flood

This alternative considered mitigation options
for the highway road prism to enhance flood

and reduce future maintenance requirements.
This modification involved improving the
conveyance capacity of the floodplain by
strategically modeling the placement and
design of culverts within the floodplain. This
mitigation effort could be cost-effective and
easily implemented if it is coordinated with
highway construction activities. The proposed
placement of floodplain culverts along the

3.5 RUSSIAN RIVER MITIGATION ALTERNATIVE
Figure 3-14: Mitigation Alternative locations for armored banks in Upper Russian River
In addition to the alternatives evaluated for mitigating flood risk at Sargent Creek Road, River Focus
also investigated alternative mitigation strategies aimed at stabilizing the banks and reducing
erosion potential along Russian River. It is essential to clarify that the scope of this project did not
encompass terrain development for the upper reaches of Russian River, as the 5-meter resolution
IFSAR DEM lacks the necessary precision for hydraulic modeling of this option. The following
represents a conceptual design that requires extensive further analysis and evaluation.
The proposed placements of section 1 and section 2 of armored banks along Russian River are
shown together in Figure 3-14.

ARMORED BANKS
In the upper reaches of Russian
River, landowners are confronting
challenges associated with lateral
migration effects on
streambanks. This proposed
mitigation effort seeks to
investigate the implementation of
engineered armored banks to
manage the hydrodynamics of
Russian River, particularly during
peak flow conditions associated
with flood events. The objective is
to design and construct these
armored banks to effectively
redirect the river's flow away from
adjacent residential areas, thus Figure3-15: Mitigation Alternative of section 1 of armored banks in Upper Russian
safeguarding properties and River.
Livelihoods against erosion and the shifting of river channels.
The construction of armored banks can leverage high-performance materials such as precast
concrete, poured cement, or reinforced, well -graded riprap aggregates. This mitigation strategy aims
to establish a robust structural barrier that will withstand hydraulic forces. By reinforcing the
streambanks and strategically directing the river's trajectory, armored banks can significantly
mitigate the erosion
processes that compromise
the integrity of adjacent
properties.
In addition to immediate bank
protection, this approach
facilitates a long-term
modification of the river's
geomorphology, gradually
training the creek to adhere to
a more stable course.
Incorporating biotechnical
engineering methods, such as Figure 3-16: Mitigation Alternative of section 2 of armored banks in Upper Russian
native vegetation planting along River.
the upper portions of the banks, can further enhance the resilience of the armored structures while
promoting ecological health. Ultimately, these interventions are designed to create a maintained
riparian ecosystem while minimizing the risk of property loss due to erosion.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
Figure 3-15 shows the estimated length and positioning for the downstream armored bank mitigation
section 1, and Figure 3-14 shows the estimated length and positioning for the upstream armor bank
mitigation section 2. Comprehensive design and modeling efforts are required to accurately assess
the potential effectiveness of this mitigation measure.
POTENTIAL NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
Installing an armored bank of this length to protect property lines and redirect the flow of Russian
River can have several negative consequences. Ecologically, it disruptsthe river's natural processes,
which can harm aquatic habitats and decrease biodiversity. This alteration can also lead to
increased erosion downstream as the river compensates for the restricted flow, and it may reduce
groundwater recharge in surrounding areas.
Socially and economically, such interventions can transfer flood risks to properties on the opposite
bank, creating new vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the high costs associated with construction and
maintenance may not be justified by the benefits, especially if the structure fails during extreme
weather events. Overall, while armored banks may provide short-term protection, they often result
in long-term environmental and hydrological imbalances.
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
Additional terrain data, design development, and thorough analysis would be necessary to ensure
comprehensive due diligence in selecting the optimal design solution for section 1 and section 2
along Russian River.
In Appendix E6, there is aerial imagery of Section 2 from June 2019 and June 2006. In the 15 years,
the Russian River's alignment, sinuosity, riparian vegetation, and floodplain complexity in this
section have changed. The consideration of a nature -based design approach could explore adjusting
the alignment, increasing sinuosity, and enhancing vegetation. The approach could modify the
channel alignment to increase sinuosity while lowering velocities using bioengineered bank designs.
Future design efforts should also evaluate the past failure of the Russian River rootwad project
downstream, to avoid similar issues in the future.
3.6 BENEFIT -COST ANALYSIS
This study presents a preliminary benefit -cost analysis (BCA) of potential mitigation strategies aimed
at ensuring safe travel along Sargent Creek Road. As an early -stage assessment, the analysis
supports decision -makers in determining whether further investment in detailed planning and
design is justified. It involves estimating the total project costs —including capital expenditures,
operational needs, and maintenance requirements —and comparing them against anticipated
benefits such as improved safety, enhanced efficiency, environmental protection, and potential
economic development. Although the analysis is based on preliminary data and assumptions, it
serves as a critical screening tool to help prioritize projects and guide effective resource allocation.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
A benefit -cost analysis was conducted for the following proposed mitigation efforts:
• Alternative 2: Raising Sargent Creek Road
• Alternative 3: Floodplain Culvert Along Raised Sargent Creek Road
• Alternative 4: Installingfloodplains Culverts Along the Highway
• Russian River Mitigation Effort: Armored Bank
The cost analysis does not include permitting or design costs as these are expected to be similar for
all alternatives considered.
Although this study utilized elements of the FEMA Benefit -Cost Analysis (BCA) Toolkit 6.0 and
incorporated net present value (NPV) calculations, the full functionality of the toolkit was not
applied. This decision was based on the unique context of the Sargent Creek Road project. As the
sole access route into the community, the road holds critical importance beyond what the standard
FEMA BCA model is designed to capture.
The FEMA BCAToolkit is structured to evaluate typical hazard mitigation projects using standardized
assumptions and benefit categories. However, Kodiak's remote geography, severe environmental
conditions, and the road's essential role in supporting local livelihoods and emergency access
introduce complexities that the toolkit does not fully accommodate. These factors necessitated a
more tailored approach.
Instead, the study extracted relevant cost and benefit data and used them to calculate equivalent
net present values, which were then used to derive the Benefit -Cost Ratio (BCR). This approach
allowed for a more context -sensitive analysis while still aligning with FEMA's economic evaluation
principles.
In future stages of project development, it is advisable to implement a comprehensive BCR
sensitivity model. This model should enable users to dynamically adjust key parameters such as
quantities, discount rates, construction timelines, and asset lifespan. By incorporating these
variables, stakeholders will be better equipped to analyze the potential impacts of different
scenarios on project feasibility and economic viability. This approach will facilitate more informed
decision -making and improve the overall evaluation process of project investments.
BENEFIT VALUE CONSIDERATIONS
If the sole access road to Bells Flats becomes flooded and impassable, the community could face
severe economic consequences. Essential deliveries like food, fuel, and medical supplies would be
delayed or halted, leading to shortages and increased prices, particularly affecting vulnerable
populations. Local businesses relying on timely shipments may experience revenue losses and
potential layoffs. Social and emergency services, including school buses and ambulances, might
struggle to reach residents and students. Many residents commute to jobs in Kodiak; disruptions
could result in lost wages or job loss. These values are all considered in the FEMA benefit
calculations.

RAISE SARGENT CREEK ROAD
This BCA evaluates a road life cycle extending over 45 years, during which re -pavement is scheduled
to occur every 15years. The analysis focuses on the long-term financial implications and operational
efficiencies associated with the road maintenance strategy.
It is essential to note that this BCA does not account for the cost of additional survey and design, nor
does it consider the potential advantages of KIB's capacity to produce aggregate material from the
Bells Flats quarry. The ability to source locally produced aggregate could significantly influence
overall project costs, reduce transportation expenses, and potentially minimize environmental
impacts associated with material sourcing. Further assessment of these factors could provide a
more comprehensive understanding of the project's economic viability and sustainability.

BCR FOR FLOODPLAIN CULVERT ALONG RAISED SARGENT CREEK ROAD
At this preliminary BCA, the net present value analysis resulted in a BCR of 2.96. Since the BCR is
greater than 1, the benefits of installing a floodplain culvert and improving Sargent Creek Road
greatly outweigh its costs. Again, the annual benefit to Bells Flats residents was calculated by the
BCA toolkit. Inputs from BCA Toolkit 6.0 for Sargent Creek and Russian River can be found in
Appendix F.
FLOODPLAIN CULVERTS ALONG THE HIGHWAY
The BCAforthis alternative construction project would be executed in conjunction with the AKDOT's
upcoming work on Chiniak Highway. The cost estimates may fluctuate significantly based on the
contractual agreements, construction methodologies, and the allocation and sharing of resources
and labor between the two projects. Cost assumes that AKDOT will provide road material with KIB
provided culverts and labor. Cost does not include maintenance values as it is assumed that AKDOT
will be held responsible for this value.
This alternative assumes that properly increasing flood conveyance at the highway will eliminate the
inundation of Sargent Creek Road. Therefore, the benefit value remains unchanged.

ARMORED BANK — RUSSIAN RIVER
The BCA for this alternative has many unknowns. Until more topographic data, analysis, and design
has been conducted, these values will remain with low confidence. In this higher -level analysis,
construction elements have been consolidated. The evaluation assumes a project life span of 30
years.
At this stage, this alternative does not account for the potential advantages of KIB's abilityto produce
aggregate material sourced from the Bells Flats quarry. If material can be sourced locally, material
costs should be adjusted accordingly.

BENEFITS
The 2024 tax assessment values for properties affected by land loss due to erosion and lateral
migration of the Russian River were taken into account. To accurately assess the actual land loss,
further data collection and analysis will be required.
At this stage, a compound annual growth formula was used to calculate the future value of homes
over 30 years, assuming an annual appreciation rate of 4%. It is also assumed that there may be a
maximum property loss of 15% over this 30-year period. The projected future value of each property
was then adjusted to its net present value using a 4% interest rate. The aggregated NPV of all
properties was calculated to determine the total present benefit value.

BCR FOR ARMORED BANKS
At this higher -level preliminary BCA, the net present value analysis resulted in a BCR of 0.22. Given
that this BCR is substantially below the threshold of 1.0, it indicates that the anticipated benefits of
employing armored banks do notjustifythe associated costs at this stage of analysis. Consequently,

further evaluation and detailed investigation into this alternative solution are warranted to determine
its viability and potential adjustments that could optimize the economic outcomes.
If fill material was able to be provided or subsidized by KIB, this alternative could result in a BCR
closer to 1 or above 1.
This hydrologic and hydraulic study of Sargent Creek and Russian River in Womens Bay provides a
comprehensive and data -driven foundation for addressing the persistent flooding challenges faced
by the Bells Flats community. Through a combination of field surveys, drone imagery, GIS-based
watershed delineation, 2D hydraulic modeling, community engagement, and Kodiak Island Borough
input, the study has successfully identified the key drivers of flood risk and evaluated a suite of
mitigation alternatives tailored to the region's unique environmental and infrastructural context.
The analysis confirms that Sargent Creek and Russian River are subject to significant hydrologic
pressures, particularly during high -flow events, with Sargent Creek Road— a singular and essential
access route —experiencing overtopping as frequently as three to five times per year. The modeling
results demonstrate that even moderate flood events (e.g., 5- to 10-year events) can compromise
road safety and access, while larger events (100- to 500-year events) pose substantial risks to
infrastructure and public safety.
Several mitigation strategies were evaluated, including:
• Guidebank installations and channel regrading as proposed in the AKDOT PEL study,
• Raising Sargent Creek Road to match the highway elevation,
• Installation of floodplain culverts to improve conveyance and habitat connectivity,
• Armored banks in upper Russian River to mitigate lateral erosion and protect private
property.
Among these, raising Sargent Creek Road emerged as a particularly cost-effective and immediately
actionable solution, with a Benefit -Cost Ratio (BCR) of 4, indicating strong economic justification.
This alternative is highly favorable, with floodplain culverts along Sargent Creek Road and floodplain
culverts along the highway as the next favorable alternatives. Armored banks in upper Russian River
are not fullyviable at this stage; additional data and analysis would be needed to better evaluate this
alternative.
AKDOT's proposed guidebank and channel regarding improvements also show promise in reducing
flood risk and enhancing ecological function. If completed in conjunction with alternative 2, 3, or 4,
this alternative would result in a long-term safer solution.
In future stages each BCA should additionally consider:
• Local material and aggregate sourcing to potentially reduce costs.
• Sensitivity modeling in order to refine estimates and assess risk.

AGENDA ITEM #2.a.
Hydrology and Hydraulics Study: Sargent Creek and Russian River Final Report
This report underscores the importance of integrating engineering analysis with ecological
stewardship and community input. To build upon this work, the following next steps are
recommended:
1. Conduct a full watershed analysis using high -resolution LiDAR data to refine
floodplain modeling and upstream mitigation planning.
2. Advance the design and modeling of prioritized mitigation measures, particularly
the mitigation efforts in higher reaches in the watershed.
3. Coordinate with AKDOT to align bridge replacement and guidebank construction with
broader flood mitigation goals.
4. Continue community engagement to ensure that local knowledge and priorities
inform implementation strategies.
By taking a proactive and science -based approach, the Kodiak Island Borough can significantly
enhance the resilience of the Bells Flats region, safeguard critical infrastructure, and protect the
ecological integrity of its anadromous waterways.

AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
Highlights from the September 202S
Board of Directors meeting
The Prince William Sound Regional Citizens' Advisory Council held a meeting on
September 18 & 19, 2025. The following is a synopsis of actions and discussions
that took place at that two-day meeting. This report is not all inclusive.
Report from Alyeska Pipeline Service Company
LtWILUA41soli
REGIONAL CITIZENS' ADVISORY COUNCIL
Andres Morales, Alyeska's Emergency Preparedness and Response Director, updated the Board on recent
activities and operations at Alyeska and their Ship Escort Response Vessel System, or SERVS. Highlights
from his presentation include:
Tanker One Plan: Currently, each tanker company or shipper that carries oil from the Valdez
Marine Terminal, or VMT, has their own individual vessel contingency plans. That is in addition to a
combined contingency plan that details oil spill prevention and response capabilities for the
vessels. These companies are working with Alyeska to transfer administration of the combined
plan from the shippers to Alyeska. This proposal is known as the Tanker One Plan. The goal is to
simplify management of the plan and ensure consistent and reliable spill prevention and response
that includes any foreign -flagged tankers shipping oil through Prince William Sound.
Only the administration responsibilities and the organization of the contents of the combined plan
will change. Alyeska currently manages an oil spill response for the first 72 hours and then hands
off management of the response to the company whose tanker spilled the oil, also known as the
responsible party. Under the proposed Tanker One Plan, Alyeska would maintain management of
the response, in partnership with representatives from the responsible party. Vessel operators will
still have to submit individual vessel contingency plans while operating under the Tanker One
Plan. The Council is monitoring these changes and will be analyzing additional details as they
become available.
Workforce reorganization: Alyeska is reviewing personnel and job duties along the Trans Alaska
Pipeline System, or TAPS, with the goal of reducing its workforce by 60 positions system -wide, or
8% of their staff. The review is expected to be completed by the end of October and the workforce
reduction implemented by January 1, 2026.
Alaska Tanker Company engine upgrades
Karen Hays and Steven Cooley of Alaska Tanker Company, or ATC, gave a presentation on the company's
upgrades to their tankers, including a more fuel -efficient system for their engines with updated
technology that reduces emissions. The upgrades have been completed on the Alaskan Frontier, and the
Alaskan Navigator and Alaskan Legend are scheduled to be completed by September 2026. Additional
highlights include:
• Propulsion control systems upgraded to significantly newer technology, including new software
and fiber optic cables for improved communication.
• New, updated tank radar to monitor cargo in the tanks.
• Access to Foss Maritime 24-hour Weather Monitoring Center.

AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
Development of Oil Spill Response Strategies for Copper River Area
The Board heard an update from staff member Jeremy Robida and contractor Elise Decola of Nuka
Research & Planning Group about a project to update Geographic Response Strategies, or GRS, for the
Copper River Delta Flats. GRS are map -based oil spill response plans tailored to protect specific
environmentally sensitive areas. The Copper River Delta hosts numerous species, cultural sites, and
important fisheries and is deserving of pre -incident planning. It is also a challenging operational area with
high energy beaches, shallow tidal waters and ever -changing channels, barrier islands, and braided river
drainages. The Council is leading a workgroup to update previous GRS work for this area that was
completed in the late 1990s. DeCola and Robida recently conducted site visits to the area to gather
information necessary to update the plans. Local interest in this project is high and many of those
involved in the workgroup meetings are from Cordova.
Details are available in the slides on our website: www.tinyurl.com/CRDF-GRS (PDF)
Mariner training at Teekay Tankers
Manmeet Chhabra and Nicholas Schneider of Teekay Tankers gave a presentation about the company's
training program for mariners on their tankers who call at the VMT. Teekays foreign -flagged tankers have
loaded crude oil at the VMT and shipped oil through Prince William Sound numerous times since 2016.
Chhabra and Schneider summarized regular training the mariners receive prior to arrival, along with
additional guidance specific to Prince William Sound. He noted required documentation that is available
as well as onboard preparations, such as ensuring cold -weather gear is available; detailed planning for
safe passage that includes review of speed restrictions and anchoring locations; emergency
preparedness activities, such as participation in local drills and exercises; and escort tug requirements,
among other details.
Details are available in the presentation slides on our website: www.tinyurl.com/Teekay-training (PDF)
Report accepted: Subsistence Memorial Gathering Workshop
The Council accepted a report titled, "The 23" Annual Subsistence Memorial Gathering Workshop," by
staff member Danielle Verna and Scientific Advisory Committee member Davin Holen of Alaska Sea
Grant.
The report summarizes a workshop held during the 23rd Annual Subsistence Memorial Gathering, an
event hosted by the Chugach Regional Resources Commission, or CRRC, on March 27, 2025.
The workshop was a partnership between the Council, CRRC, and Alaska Sea Grant. The goals of the
workshop were to bring together residents of the Chugach and Exxon Valdez oil spill region to share
stories, discuss concerns about past and future environmental impacts, and generate interest in locally
supported research.

AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
Report accepted: Alaska North Slope Crude Oil Properties
The Council accepted a report titled, "Review of the 2024 Alaska North Slope Oil Properties Relevant to
Environmental Assessment and Prediction," by Dr. Mery Fingas of Spill Science.
Dr. Fingas reported on an analysis for physical and chemical properties of a sample of 2024 Alaska North
Slope (ANS) crude oil performed by Environment and Climate Change Canada's laboratory. The Prince
William Sound tanker operators provide a sample to the Council every five years or so to track changes in
the oil's properties, and how those changes might impact mechanical oil spill response measures.
Changes in oil properties can also impact the effectiveness of non -mechanical response options such as
in -situ burning, and dispersants.
Dr Fingas noted that the sample's composition is more similar to the previous sample, analyzed in 2019,
than samples taken in 2015 and earlier. ANS crude oil has been trending lighter since around 2010, and
its properties are consistent with a "medium" weight oil. Compared to previous samples, the current
composition is less prone to emulsify, less dispersible as the oil weathers, and less adhesive to
shorelines.
More details are available in the final report on our website: www.tinyurl.com/Crude-Oil-2024
Dispersant stockpiles changing to new product
The Board heard an update about changes in the products used to disperse spilled oil. This change
stemmed from new protocols put in place by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, for
testing dispersants. The new requirements are part of the National Contingency Plan Subpart J
regulations for products available for use on oil spills.
Corexit 9500A, the product stockpiled in Alaska and elsewhere, will no longer be included on the EPA's list
of products that meet the new testing protocols after December 12, 2025. A new product, Dasic EcoSafe
OSD, is replacing Corexit in Alaska.
Additional details are available in the September meeting packet: www.tinyurl.com/Dispersants-Dasic
Report accepted: Inspection and Repairs to Tank 93
The Board accepted the report titled, "Review of Ballast Water Tank 93 Out -of -Service Inspection Report
and Tank Repairs," by Taku Engineering.
In this report, Bill Mott reviewed maintenance practices and provided recommendations for
improvements to help minimize the risk of an oil spill from ballast water storage tank number 93 at the
Valdez Marine Terminal. Mott noted that while Alyeska has made some positive improvements to prevent
corrosion, some concerns remain with how corrosion rates are monitored and calculated.

AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
Update on testing of secondary containment liner
Staff member Joe Lally gave an update on recently proposed changes by Alyeska on how they plan to test
or verify the integrity of the asphalt liners that surround the vast oil storage tanks at the VMT. These
nearly 50-year-old liners are part of the system intended to contain oil in case of a spill from a tank. The
liners are buried under earthen fill and are difficult to inspect. Alyeska and the Council have been working
to find a method of testing the liners to ensure they can adequately hold oil until it can be cleaned up.
Cracks and holes in the liner have been discovered when sections of the earthen fill have been removed
in the past.
In 2024, ADEC approved Alyeska's spill contingency plan for the VMT, but that approval came with
conditions. One of those conditions was that Alyeska must conduct further analysis to determine
whether the liners meet the sufficiently impermeable standard to contain a spill until it can be detected
and cleaned up, and before groundwater is contaminated. Alyeska recently proposed to switch their liner
testing method from an electrical leak location method to a hydraulic, or flooding, method of evaluation.
ADEC and the Council are currently assessing the new method proposed by Alyeska.

Re: Washington Update
Date: September 23, 2025
FY 2026 Appropriations
The House has passed 3 of its 12 appropriations bills, while the Senate has passed a 3 bill
package. None of the appropriations bills will be enacted by the end of the start of the Oct. 1
new fiscal year. As of the time of this report, one or a combination of the following three
scenarios is likely over the coming weeks — enactment of a short-term Continuing Resolution
(CR) that would run until later in calendar year 2025 while remaining final appropriations bills
are negotiated; enactment of a long-term CR for the entire fiscal year; a government shutdown;
or some combination of the above.
For FY 2026, $5 million for St Hermans Harbor Upgrades in Congressionally Directed
Spending/Community Project Funding (CDS/CPF) was included in the House Transportation -
Housing Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Bill, courtesy of Rep. Begich.
Essential Air Service (EAS)
The FY 2026 President's Budget Request requested no appropriations for EAS. Fortunately,
both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees have rejected the request and include full
funding for EAS in their respective appropriations bills; in fact, the Senate includes a 12 percent
increase. The Delegation has strongly supported EAS funding and opposed an earlier proposal
under consideration for the One Big Beautiful Bill that would have terminated its funding
derived from overflight fees which accounts for approximately 40 percent of total EAS funding,
with the remaining 60 percent coming from regular appropriations.
Major Coast Guard Investment
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes major investment in Coast Guard activities and
programs totaling over $24 billion. This is the largest infusion of funding for the Coast Guard in
decades. These are additional funds on top of regular appropriations which are about $13.5
billion/year. The next step in the process is for the Coast Guard to develop a detailed spending
Page 158 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
plan of how, when and where the funds will allocated. Included in the law are the following
amounts
• $1,142,500,000 for fixed wing aircraft
• $2,283,000,000 for rotary wing aircraft
• $266,000,000 for long-range unmanned air craft systems
• $4,300,000,000 for Offshore Patrol Cutters
• $1,000,000,000 for Fast Response Cutters
• $4,300,000,000 for Polar Security Cutters
• $3,500,000 for Arctic Security Cutters
• $816,000,000 is provided for procurement of light and medium icebreaking cutters
• $300,000,000 is provided for homeporting of the existing polar icebreaker commissioned
into service in 2025 (this is the USCG Storis destined for Juneau).
• $4,379,000,000 for Shoreside Infrastructure, with $2,729,500,000 set aside for homeports
and hangars for cutters and aircraft and $425,000,000 for boot camp barracks and multi-
use training facilities
• $2,200,000,000 is provided for aviation, cutter, and shore facility depot maintenance,
including command, control, communication, computer, and cyber assets
• $162,000,000 for Waterways Commerce Cutters
• $170,000,000 for Maritime Domain Awareness
• $75,000 for Naritime Drone Systems
This infusion of funding will be of major benefit to the USCG's mission and effort to recapitalize
its major assets. USCG -Kodiak will benefit as well. The AK Delegation is close
communication with the USCG to advocate for Alaska's Coast Guard communities.
PILT/National Wildlife Refuse Fund (Refuge Revenue Sharing)
DOI has awarded the Borough and other Federal lands communities their FY 2025 PILT and
National Wildlife Refuge payments. The Borough's PILT payment was $1,924,386 an all-time
high. Its Revenue Sharing Payment was $180,258. PILT is fully funded for next year in both
the FY 2026 House and Senate Interior Appropriations Bills. The Trump requested no funding
(as did the Biden Administration) for National Wildlife Refuge Fund for FY 2026 but the Senate
and House Appropriations Committees have fully funded it.
Rural Health Fundins
The Trump Administration has started the grants process for the new $50 billion rural hospital
program. These funds are spread equally over 5 years. This program is meant to at least
partially offset the Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill and the concern over those
impacts on rural hospitals. The States are the applicants, with the legislation apportioning half of
the funding equally to each State, with the remaining half to be apportioned by a formula or
criteria determined by HHS's Centers for Medicare & 1%-ledicaid Services. The NOFO will come
out later this month, with awards expected to be made by the end of the year. More details on
the program are at the link.

transforination-rht-pro ram
Community Health Center funding also needs to be extended. The House short-term CR
includes an extension. Democrats in the Senate are pressing for extension of the Affordable Care
Act tax subsidies for health insurance plan purchases to be included in the CR.
Coast Guard Eligibility For Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP)
Senator Sullivan has again inserted language into the Senate's version of the annual defense
authorization bill that would allow Coast Guard communities to be eligible to apply for project
funding from the DCIP. There is no language in the House bill as the House Armed Services
Committee has historically opposed allowing the Coast Guard to access funding that they believe
should be reserved for communities that have the presence of the traditional military services.
Final disposition of the provision awaits the House -Senate Conference.
Corporation For Public Broadcasting (CPB) Rescissions
Recissions legislation narrowly passed the Congress and was signed by the President that
terminates funding of the CPB and its local public media stations grant funding. Senator
Murkowski voted against the bill while Senator Sullivan and Rep. Begich supported it. Senator
Sullivan has pledged to find support for rural public media stations through the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.
Timber Management
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has a number of measures to boost resource development on
Federal lands. It includes the following directives concerning timber production on National
Forest lands to occur from 2026 to 2034.
• An increase of 250,000,000 board -feet per year in timber sales beginning with FY 2025
sales amount as the baseline.
• Entrance into not less than 40 long-term timber sales contracts of 20 years or greater
length.
A provision in the House OBBB mandating sale of significant amounts of Federal USFS and
BLM lands ostensibly for local housing was stripped from the final legislation due to strong
opposition from the fishing and hunting communities.
Lastly, a repeal of the Roadless Rule is under development at USDA. In June, our Senators
issued a press release praising the action.

AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
least six, including one to capture fish migrations out of historic areas, and extension funding of
North Pacific Observers at their current level. This has been a consistent request from Senators
tilurkowski and Sullivan over the years.
NOAA Bud get/Reorganization: You will recall in our last report we noted the FY 2026 budget
"Passback" memo and the President's actual budget request (PBR) recommended a 27 percent
reduction in NOAA's funding from its FY 2025 level and a 29 percent reduction for NMFS.
Among the programs suggested to be cut are Species Recovery Grants, IJFA grants, habitat
conservation & restoration grant programs, and the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund
(PCSRF). These Administration documents also proposed a transfer of protected species
management authority from NMFS to USFWS including for all protected species and marine
mammals.
On July 1, 2025 NOAA submitted its detailed FY26 budget request to Congress which included
some shift in protected species duties but not for fisheries -related functions. Shortly thereafter,
the House and Senate passed their respective Commerce FY26 appropriations bills (with
jurisdiction over NOAA) out of committee. The House bill was silent on the shift, but the Senate
bill included specific text to continue funding protected species duties within NOAA/NN,IFS. As
of this writing, the status of this issue for FY26 remains uncertain.
Presidential Executive Order on U.S. Seafood Competitiveness:
Back on April 17`h President Trump issued several executive actions, including the EO on
Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness. This comprehensive EO builds on President
Trump's 2020 EO 13921 titled "Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic
Growth". The new all -of -government order addresses unfair trade practices, eliminates unsafe
imports, levels the playing field for US industry, reduces regulatory burdens, ensures integrity of
the seafood supply chain, creates an America First Seafood Strategy, among other things.
NOAA currently has a comment period open (to 10/14/25; see 90 FR 41818) and will hold
public webinars on 9/25 and 10/1. The Regional Councils are due to transmit their
recommendations to NOAA at the end of September; and the Small Business Administration has
scheduled a seafood stakeholder roundtable on 9/24.
The President also issued the EO Unleashing American Commercial Fishing in the Pacific. The
EO opened the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIRINM) to commercial
fishing, allowing US -flagged vessels to commercially fish within 50 to 200 nm of the monument
boundaries. However, environmental groups successfully sued NOAA's implementing action to
open the area in August. The Court process continues as of this writing.
North Pacific Right Whale Critical Habitat Designation: To date, NOAA is yet to issue a
revised and expanded ESA critical habitat (CH) area for Eastern North Pacific right whales off
AK. So far, there is no clear indication if/when this proposed rulemaking will occur.
USTR Report on Forced Labor: On August 19th the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
released the "Update of the Strategy to Prevent the Importation of Goods, Mined, Produced, or
Page 161 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
Manufactured with Forced Labor in the People's Republic of China ". In the report the agency
highlighted seafood as a priority sector.
Fishery Disasters: Back on June 251h the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued the
Fishery Disaster Assistance Final Report (GOA-25-107076). This report, from a study originally
requested by AK Senator Dan Sullivan, included three recommendations for NOAA: increase
staff access to the disaster tracking system; improve transparency for stakeholders; and assess
agency staff capacity. It is up to the Agency is implement these recommendations.
Additionally, pending FY26 Senate Appropriations legislation contains $1.0M for the National
Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) to conduct a study examining the requirements for
establishing a fishery disaster insurance program for seafood harvesters.
USCG Changes Operational District Designations: On July Yd the USCG revised the
operational district designations. The State of Alaska, which used to be in District 17, is now in
the "Arctic" District.
Offshore Wind & Energy News: On January 20'h President Trump issued a memorandum to all
federal agencies directing the temporary withdrawal of all areas on the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) from wind energy leasing and calling for a comprehensive review of federal wind leasing
and permitting practices. On July 291h the Interior Secretary issued Order No. 3437 which
formally removed 3.5M acres from OSW development. On 8/4 BOEM rescinded the national
OSW leasing schedule; and on 8 29 the Transportation Secretary withdrew $679M in OSW
support grants.
Finally, on 8 19 BOEM released the new national "Offshore Energy Leasing Schedule" which
included Alaska/Cook Inlet as an energy focus area. The new leasing period is scheduled to open
on 10/12.
HNR Ocean Hearings: On June 41h the House Natural Resources Committee's Subcommittee on
Water, Wildlife and Fisheries held an oversight hearing on the Trump Seafood EO and on
national fisheries issues. A representative for the Regional Fishery Management Councils
testified.
On July 22"d the Subcommittee held a legislative hearing on the MMPA "Discussion Draft"
being developed by AK Rep. Nick Begich. The bill, designed to reform the MMPA, is being
revised with formal introduction and committee action expected later this fall.
On June 12°i the Senate Commerce Subcommittee, chaired by AK Sen. Dan Sullivan, held its
first ocean hearing of the I I9'h Congress titled "Finding Nemo's Facture: Conflicts Over Ocean
Resources ", covering myriad ocean issues.
West Coast MMPA TRT: NOAA announced major revisions to the MMPA Take Reduction
Team (TRT) for the West Coast (WA/OR/CA) sablefish pot/trap fishery and two stocks of
humpback whales. The first meeting will now occur on 11 3 25. For more details see NOAA's
West Coast Take Reduction Team.
Page 162 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
NOAA MMPA Seafood Import Rule: On August 29 h NOAA issued final MMPA fishery
consistency determinations for 2500 fisheries from 135 nations (See 90 FR 42395). Only nations
with approved fisheries and adequate marine mammal conservation measures can import seafood
products to the U.S. China was issued partial compatibility; while Russa was totally denied
access to the U.S. market.
Bycatch Update on Two AK Cases Related to Bycatch:
8 16 24: Oceana/Earthjustice sued NMFS (AK District Court) over failure to protect
seafloor from bottom trawling; Case 3:24-cv-00180 is ongoing.
1219'24: Oceana/Earthjustice sued NMFS (AK & CA District Courts) over FOIA
violations related to 2023 marine mammal deaths (i.e. 11 ENP killer whales) in trawl
fisheries; Case 3:24-cv-00179 is ongoing.
Chevron Update: Back in 2024 the Supreme Court ruled on two cases related to commercial
fishermen paying for the cost of NOAA at -sea observers. The Court overturned the Chevron
Doctrine (ending the 40-year deference to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous federal
laws) but remanded the specific question of the industry paying for at -sea observers to the lower
Court for further judicial consideration. A RI District Court ruled on 7/18 the commercial fishing
industry has to pay for the cost of federal observers. The fishing industry plaintiffs have
indicated they will appeal the RI ruling.
Some Ocean Legislation of Interest in the 1191h Congress:
Sustaining America's Fisheries for the Future Act (H.R. 3718; Rep. Huffman (CA-D) &
Rep. Case (HI-D); reforms MSA; (Version 4.0; 6/4/25); a similar version from past years which
includes but is not limited to: climate change, sexual harassment, EFH, NS #9 bycatch, NPFMC
seats, forage fish, EM, science, cooperative research, stock assessments, working waterfront
preservation, etc. The bill will not pass this Congress but serves as a marker for MSA reform
should the Democrats retake the House ni November 2026.
"Working Waterfronts Preservation Act of 2025 " (AK Sen. Murkowski; S.1968);
00 o chance of passage; and the Save Our Seafood Act of 2025 "; (S.1292); which exempts
seafood processors from H2B Visa caps - the bill reportedly has a 4% chance of passage.
Forage Fish Conservation Act of 2025 (H.R. 3714; Rep. Dingell, MI-D); the bill adds forage
fish management to MSA with implications for AK pollock, sockeye, shrimp, squid, etc.
(Version 4.0; 6/4/25). 1n a related story, from 5/2/25, the I X closed the North Sea waters to
protect forage fish and the EU sued over access. The Court sided with UK and U.S. NGO's are
citing the case as precedent for U.S. forage fish conservation
"Marine Aquaculture Research for America Act" ("MARA" Act; Sens. Wicker &
Schatz; 8/4/25); s. 2586 with a chance of passage rated at 5%. A MARA Ocean Strategies
Aquaculture Policy Report was published on 8/20.
Page 163 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #4.a.
"FISHAct of 2025" (AK Sen. Sullivan; S. 688); to address IUU fishing was approved by the
Commerce Committee back in April, and a Senate Floor Amendment No. 3434 passed on 8/5.
The bill reportedly has a 42% chance of passage.
"Modernizing Access to Our Public Oceans Act " ("MAPS" Act; S. 759); passed the Senate on

AGENDA ITEM #8.b.
racetrack on the Premises for motorized vehicles even though that activity is not a typical fairground activity
but is a customary past use of this site. Landlord understands Landlord understands that Tenant plans to
add a caretaker residence to the Premises and that Tenant may desire to use the Premises for other
purposes regularly or intermittently. All use of this premises must be in conformance with Kodiak Island
Borough Conservation District zoning code and before using the Premises for any other purposes than
stated above, Tenant must obtain the express written consent from Landlord for such use. Landlord agrees
not to unreasonably withhold its consent provided the goal of this Lease is promoted by the proposed
additional uses.
Term.
A. The term of this Lease shall be for twenty-five (25) years, commencing on November 4,
2025, and ending on November 3, 2050. As used herein, the expression "term hereof' refers to such initial
term and to any renewal of it as provided in this Lease.
B. The Parties may mutually agree to earlier termination of this Lease at any time.
C. Emer-gency termination. The Landlord reserves the right in case of emergency to
immediately terminate this Lease and take possession of the Premises. If the Landlord exercises this right,
it accepts responsibility for any obligations under grants requiring Tenant's continued use of the Premises
for the remainder of the current lease term. In addition, Tenant will not be required to return the Premises
to its original condition if the Landlord exercises this right.
III. Rent.
Subject to adjustment as provided below, the rent for the term of this Lease shall be Five Hundred
Dollars and 00/100 ($500.00) per year, payable in advance, on or before November 4th, each year, plus
any expenses identified in this Lease as Additional Rent, as defined below. The Parties also acknowledge
the value of Tenant's in -kind contributions as additional consideration for this Lease.
The annual rent due shall be reviewed and may be adjusted by the KIB Manager at the end of
every five-year interval or whenever the agreement is amended. Any changes or adjustments shall be
based upon changes in the appraised fair market value of the land and improvements being leased,
excluding landfill and other improvements placed upon the land by Tenant as well as the value of Tenant's
in -kind contributions, however in accordance with Kodiak Island Borough Code 18.40.020(B), the amount
will remain "at a reasonable rental rate taking into consideration the purpose for which the real property is
to be used."
If the Lease is terminated because of any breach by Tenant, as provided in this Lease, the rental
payment last made by Tenant shall be forfeited and retained by Landlord as partial or total damages for the
breach.
IV. Uses Prohibited.
Tenant shall not use, or permit the Premises, or any part of the Premises, to be used, for any
purpose other than the purpose or purposes for which the Premises are leased. If the Premises are devoted
to a use other than that for which they are leased without written consent of the Landlord, this Lease
automatically terminates. Tenant shall also comply with and abide by all federal, state, borough, municipal,
and other governmental statutes, ordinances, laws, and regulations affecting the Premises, the
improvements or any activity or condition on or in the Premises.

of the subsurface rights, as the case may be.
IX. Subletting and Assignment.
Tenant shall not sublet or assign or transfer this Lease, or any interest in it, without the prior written
consent of the KIB Manager, and a consent to an assignment or sublease shall not be deemed to be a
consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. Any such assignment or sublease without such
consent shall be void, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate this Lease. Neither this Lease nor the
leasehold estate of Tenant nor any interest of Tenant hereunder in the Premises or any building or
improvements on the Premises shall be subject to involuntary assignment, transfer, or sale, or to
assignment, transfer, or sale by operation of law in any manner whatsoever, and any such attempted

involuntary assignment, transfer, or sale shall be void and of no effect and shall, at the option of Landlord,
terminate this Lease.
Provided, however, that the Tenant may continue to assign or sublet rights to use the racetrack
located on this property to the nonprofit corporation Kodiak Island Racing Association, Inc., (KIRA) so long
as that entity agrees to comply with all terms of this Lease. Use of the property by KIRA does not relieve
Tenant of responsibility to comply with all terms of this Lease, and Tenant remains responsible for KIRA's
compliance with all terms of this Lease.

revisions required by Landlord. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold such approval. In the document

and specifications, Landlord shall give to Tenant an itemized statement of reasons. For purposes of the
paragraph the term "buildings and improvements" includes, by example and not limitation, buildings to be
moved to or erected on the Premises which shall provide for and support the uses described herein. Tenant

improvements of every kind which may be on the Premises, and all appurtenances to those buildings and
improvements, including adjacent sidewalks, in good, sanitary, and neat order, condition and repair, and,

be destroyed or damaged by fire, casualty, or any other cause whatsoever except damage caused by
Landlord's agents while exercising Landlord's right of entry (Paragraph VII, above) and right of way
(Paragraph XXVI, below). While Tenant is a nonprofit volunteer organization, it is expected to use the
Premises in such a manner to generate adequate revenue to provide funds for routine maintenance.
B. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs, replacements, or renewals of any kind,
nature, or description, whatsoever to the Premises or any buildings or improvements on the Premises,
except damage caused by Landlord's agents while exercising Landlord's right of entry (Paragraph VII,
above) and right of way (Paragraph XXVI, below).

Tenant shall fully and promptly pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, and other public utilities of
every kind furnished to the Premises throughout the term of this Lease, and all other costs and expenses
of every kind whatsoever of or in connection with the use, operation, and maintenance of the Premises and
all activities conducted thereon, and Landlord shall have no responsibility of any kind for any of these costs
or expenses.
Tenant shall keep all and every part of the Premises and all buildings and other improvements at
any time located on the Premises free and clear of any and all mechanics', materialmen's, and other liens
for or arising out of or in connection with:
1. work or labor done, services performed, or materials or appliances used or
furnished for or in connection with any operations of Tenant; or
2. any alteration, improvement, or repairs or additions which Tenant may make or
permit or cause to be made, or any work or construction, by, for, or permitted by Tenant on or about the
Premises; or

AGENDA ITEM #8.b.
3. any obligations of any kind incurred by Tenant.
Tenant shall, at all times, promptly and fully pay and discharge any and all claims on which any lien
may or could be based, and to indemnify Landlord and all of the Premises and all buildings and
improvements on the Premises against all such liens and claims of liens and suits or other proceedings.
XVI. Indemnification of Landlord.
Landlord shall not be liable for any loss, injury, death, or damage to persons or property which at
any time may be suffered or sustained by Tenant or by any person whosoever may at any time be using or
occupying or visiting the demised Premises or be in, on, or about the same, whether such loss, injury,
death, or damage shall be caused by or in any way result from or arise out of any act, omission, or
negligence of Tenant or of any occupant, Subtenant, visitor, or user of any portion of the Premises, or shall
result from or be caused by any other matter or thing whether of the same kind as or of a different kind than
the matters or things above set forth, and Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord against all claims,
liability, loss, or damage whatsoever on account of any such loss, injury, death, or damage except loss,
injury, death or damage caused by right of way (Paragraph XXVI, below). Tenant hereby waives all claims
against Landlord for damages to the building and improvements that are now on or hereafter placed or built
on the Premises and to the property of Tenant in, on, or about the Premises, and for injuries to persons or
property in or about the Premises, for any cause arising at any time except loss, injury, death or damage
caused by Landlord's agents while exercising Landlord's right of entry (Paragraph VII, above) and right of
way (Paragraph XXVI, below).
XVII. Attorneys' Fees.
If any action at law or in equity shall be brought for or on account of any breach of, or to enforce or
interpret any of the covenants, terms, or conditions of this Lease, or for the recovery of the possession of
the demised Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party as part of the
prevailing party's costs a reasonable attorneys' fee, the amount of which shall be fixed by the court and
shall be made a part of any judgment or decree rendered.
XVIII. Redelivery of Premises.
Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid by Tenant hereunder in the amounts, at the times,
and in the manner provided in this Lease, and shall keep and perform all the terms and conditions of this
Lease on its part to be kept and performed, and, at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease,
peaceably and quietly quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in good order and condition subject to
the other provisions of this Lease. In the event of the non-performance by Tenant, of any of the covenants
of Tenant undertaken herein, this Lease may be terminated as herein provided.

All remedies hereinbefore and hereafter conferred on Landlord shall be deemed cumulative and
no one exclusive of the other, or of any other remedy conferred by law.
XX. Insurance.
A. Insurance Coverage of Premises. Tenant shall, at all times during the term of this Lease
and at Tenant's sole expense, keep all improvements which are now or hereafter a part of the Premises
insured against loss or damage by fire and extended coverage hazards for one hundred percent (100%) of
the full replacement value of such improvements, with loss payable to Landlord and Tenant as their interests
may appear. Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of both Landlord and Tenant.
B. General Liability Insurance. Tenant shall maintain in effect throughout the term of this
Lease liability insurance covering the Premises and its appurtenances in the amount of Two Million Dollars
and 00/100 ($2,000,000.00) for injury to or death of any person or persons in one occurrence, and property

AGENDA ITEM #8.b.
damage liability insurance in the amount of One Million Dollars and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00). Such
insurance shall specifically insure Tenant against all liability assumed by it hereunder, as well as liability
imposed by law, and shall insure both Landlord and Tenant but shall be so endorsed as to create the same
liability on the part of the insurer as though separate policies had been written for Landlord and Tenant.
C. Cost of Insurance Deemed Additional Rental. The cost of insurance required to be carried
by Tenant in this section shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder.
XXI. Prohibition of Involuntary Assignment; Effect of Bankruptcy, or Insolvency.
A. Prohibition of Involuntary Assignment. Neither this Lease nor the leasehold estate of
Tenant nor any interest of Tenant hereunder in the Premises or in the buildings or improvements on the
Premises shall be subject to involuntary assignment, transfer, or sale, or to assignment, transfer, or sale by
operation of law in any manner whatsoever (except through statutory merger or consolidation, or devise)
and any such attempt at involuntary assignment, transfer, or sale shall be void and of no effect.
B. Effect of Bankruptcy. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the preceding sub-
section (A) of this Section XXI, Tenant agrees that in the event any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Act
or any amendment thereto be commenced by or against tenant, and, if against Tenant, such proceedings
shall not be dismissed before either an adjudication in bankruptcy or the confirmation of a composition,
arrangement, or plan or reorganization, or in the event Tenant is adjudged insolvent or makes an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or if a receiver is appointed in any proceeding or action to which
Tenant is a party, with authority to take possession or control of the Premises or the business conducted
thereon by Tenant, and such receiver is not discharged within a period of thirty (30) days after his
appointment, any such event or any involuntary assignment prohibited by the provisions of the preceding
sub -section (A) of this section shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant and shall, at
the election of Landlord, but not otherwise, without notice or entry or other action of Landlord terminate this
Lease and also all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in and to the Premises and also all rights of any
and all persons claiming under Tenant.
XXII. Notice of Default.
A. Major Defaults. The obligations and responsibilities of Tenant as described in Paragraphs
VIII (Use of Material), XX (Insurance), and XXI (Prohibition of Involuntary Assignment; Effect of Bankruptcy
or Insolvency) of this Lease are of major importance to Landlord. Tenant shall be in default of its obligations
under this Lease if any of the events required by or prohibited by those paragraphs. Prior to exercising its
remedies as described in Paragraph XXIII, Landlord shall first give to Tenant five (5) days' written notice of
the default. If Tenant does not cure the default, Landlord may proceed with its remedies as described in
Paragraph XXIII.
B. Default in Payments. Tenant shall be in default of its obligations under this Lease if it fails
to pay rent or any other moneys as required by this Lease. Prior to exercising its remedies as described in
Paragraph XXIII, Landlord shall first give to Tenant thirty (30) days' written notice of the default. Tenant
must cure the default within those thirty (30) days. If Tenant does not cure the default, Landlord may
proceed with its remedies as described in Paragraph XXIII.
C. Other Defaults. Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default of any of its other obligations
under this Lease unless Landlord shall first give to Tenant sixty (60) days' written notice of such default,
and Tenant fails to cure such default within such sixty-day period. If Tenant does not then cure the default,
Landlord may proceed with remedies as described in Paragraph XXIII. If the default is of such a nature
that it cannot be cured within sixty (60) days, Tenant must commence to cure the default within such period
of sixty (60) days and provide Landlord in writing, during the original sixty (60) day notice period, with the
date by which default will be cured. If Tenant does not cure the default by that date, Landlord may proceed
with its remedies as described in Paragraph XXIII.
XXIII. Landlord's Remedies upon Tenant's Default.
GROUND LEASE - KRSF Fairgrounds Lease — Page 7 of 11 Page 229 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #8.b.
A. Re-entry. Subject to the notice requirements of Paragraph XXII, in the event of any default
or breach of this Lease by Tenant, Landlord, in addition to the other rights or remedies it may have, shall
have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Premises; such
property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account
of Tenant. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to
legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease
or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, re -let the Premises or any part of the Premises
for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental
or rentals and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord in the sole discretion of Landlord may deem
advisable with the right to make alterations and repairs to the Premises.
B. Right to Perform. Alternatively, in the event of any default or breach of this Lease by Tenant
and Tenant's failure to cure as required by Paragraph XXII, then Landlord may, but shall not be required
to, do or perform or cause to be done or performed such act or thing (entering on the Premises for such
purposes, if Landlord shall so elect), and Landlord shall not be or be held liable or in any way responsible
for any loss, inconvenience, annoyance, or damage resulting to Tenant on account thereof, and Tenant
shall repay to Landlord on demand the entire expense thereof, including compensation to the agents and
employees of Landlord. Any act or thing done by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this section shall
not be or be construed as a waiver of any such default by Tenant, or as a waiver of any covenant, term, or
condition herein contained or the performance thereof, or of any other right or remedy of Landlord, under
this Lease, or otherwise.
C. Interest. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under any of the provisions of this
Lease, if not paid when the same become due as in this Lease provided, shall bear interest from the date
they become due until paid at the rate of 10.5 percent per annum (10.5%), compounded annually.
XXIV. Surrender of Lease.
Upon termination of the Lease, the Tenant shall peaceable and quietly leave, surrender, and yield
up unto Landlord all of the demised Premises. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant,
or a mutual cancellation of the Lease, shall not work a merger, and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate
all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment
to it of any or all such subleases or subtenancies.
XXV. Disposition of Improvements on Termination of Lease.
A. If the expiring leasehold is not to be re -offered for Lease, the following schedule shall apply:
1. Subject to Paragraph XXIII(A), improvements owned by the Tenant shall, within
ninety (90) calendar days after the termination of the Lease, be removed by Tenant, provided such removal
will not cause injury or damage to the Premises or improvements, and further provided that the KIB Manager
may extend the time for removing such improvements in cases where hardship is proven. All periods of
time granted to Tenant to remove improvements are subject to Tenant's paying to the Landlord pro rata
lease rentals for the period.
2. If any improvements or chattels not owned by Tenant which have an appraised
value in excess of five thousand dollars, as determined by the Landlord assessor or appraiser, are not
removed within the time allowed, such improvements or chattels shall, upon thirty (30) days' notice to
Tenant, be sold at public sale under the direction of the KIB Manager. The proceeds of the sale shall inure
to the Tenant if it placed the improvements or chattels on the Premises, after deducting for Landlord's rents
due and owing, expenses incurred in making such sale and any other sums owed to Landlord under this
Lease. If no responsible bids are received, title to such improvements or chattels shall vest in the Landlord.
3. If any improvements or chattels having an appraised value of Five Thousand
Dollars and 00/100 ($5,000.00) or less, as determined by the KIB assessor or appraiser, are not removed
GROUND LEASE - KRSF Fairgrounds Lease — Page 8 of 11 Page 230 of 234
AGENDA ITEM #8.b.
within the time allowed, such improvements and chattels shall revert to, and absolute title shall vest in, the
Landlord.
B. If the expiring leasehold is to be re -offered for lease or sale within one year of the Lease
termination, and the improvements have been allowed to remain in place, Landlord shall state when re-
offering the real property:
1. The estimated value of the authorized improvements remaining on the land placed
there by Tenant.
2. That the purchaser or new Tenant will be required, as a condition of the sale or
lease, to purchase the improvements from Tenant for an amount equal to the value specified.
XXVI. Right -Of -Way.
Landlord expressly reserves the right to reasonable ingress or egress over and across the demised
Premises for the purposes of construction, repairing, maintaining, or replacing any utility or road right-of-
way which Landlord is authorized to construct or maintain and to grant to itself reasonable easements over
and through the demised Premises for these purposes. Annual rentals may be adjusted to compensate
Tenant for loss of use of the demised Premises. Landlord agrees to coordinate with Tenant to minimize
the disruption to Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises. This includes co -locating any roads with the
road utilized by Tenant. To prevent the disruption in any of Tenant's scheduled events, Tenant will provide
Landlord with a schedule of events on a quarterly basis. Landlord agrees that is will not make or allow the
use to be made of any rights -of -way during a Tenant scheduled event, except in an emergency situation.
Landlord reserves the right to grant easements or rights -of -way over and across leased land if it is
determined in the best interest of the Landlord to do so. If Landlord grants an easement or right-of-way
across any of the Premises, Tenant shall be entitled to damages for all Tenant -owned improvements
destroyed or damaged. Damages shall be limited to improvements only, and loss shall be determined by
fair market value. Annual rentals may be adjusted to compensate Tenant for loss of use of the Premises.
XXVII. Waiver.
The waiver by either party of, or the failure of either party to take action with respect to any breach
of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained by the other party shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of such term, covenant, or condition, or subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant, or
condition therein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant or Landlord of any term, covenant, or condition
of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of
Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. The subsequent
payment of rent hereunder by Tenant shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by
Landlord of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease regardless of Tenant's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of payment of such rent.
XXVIII. Parties Bound.
The covenants and conditions herein contained shall, subject to the provisions as to assignment,
transfer, and subletting, apply to and bind the successors, administrators, and assigns of all of the Parties
hereto; and all of the Parties hereto shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder.
XXIX. Time of the Essence.
Time is of the essence of this Lease, and of each and every covenant, term, condition and provision
hereof.
