Contracts
1. Contract No. FY2012 -20 Professional Services Agreement for Coordination /Constructability and
Code Compliance Review ofIthe Kodiak High School Addition and Renovation Project Design
Documents.
STUTES moved to authorize theManager to execute Contract No. FY2012 -20 with PC Associates
for the Coordination /Constructability Review and Code Compliance Review services in an amount
not to exceed $141,371.
Engineering /Facilities staff discussed the need for peer review of design documents for the Kodiak
High School Addition and Renovation Project with various consultants and industry professionals.
Most change orders, cost overruns, and time delays on projects of this magnitude were the direct
result of coordination errors within the construction documents. Considering all factors involved in this
project, the consensus from a risk, cost, and quality control perspective was that the proposed review
by a third party would provide value to the project.
The Coordination/Constructabilit Review would verify that the bid documents provided sufficient
instructions to the builder to construct; the building and that the various design elements fit together
without conflict. The Code Compliance Review was normally outsourced by the local building official
to verify that the building would] meet all code requirements, and fees would be charged to the
project. Combining both the Coofdination/Constructability Review and the Code Compliance Review
by the same vendor would allow for; cost reductions based on the reviewer's familiarity with the
project and by applying that advantage to both tasks.
PC Associates was recommended as a leading firm in design review and reporting. The firm provided
a thorough interdisciplinary review methodology as described in the attached proposal. References
were checked with consultants and firms in the business of delivering large projects resulting in
positive responses. PC Associates specialized in plan review and had performed their services
throughout the west since 1989.

Our GS3'ilJ.3'J'+C3y outreach and CQUOatm is I '. c:?a9 v working very well as can be seen in the rise in
recycl e volume: we have experienced over the last several years. Our volume is up 36% since 2607.
Over the Last three years we have kept over 2000 tons of material out of the landfill.
Nevertheless, Threshold is initiating a :laminaradiant, for recycling on the island with the intention
of lowering the costs to the Borough kid iireasing the diversion from the landfill. This program
towers our costs at the same time. ri'hc drive - through structure we are building on the back of our
property will give recyclers the opportunity to recycle out of the weather. They will have help from
volunteers, which we will pursue earnestly tthis summer. Volunteers will help people get their
recycling in the correct categories; this will increase the value of the commodities and increase the
proposed rebate to the Borough. Volunteers will be ambassadors in the community, and will help
the spread of recycling throughout. This program. is modeled after the highly successful recycling
effort in the Matsu Valley where the per capita, per annum diversion rate is 57% better than on
Kodiak Island.
i
Threshold is continuing to expand our services by providing confidential document shredding, safe
disposal of fluorescent tube bulbs, electronics recycling and collection of cooking oil for recycle as
heating oil in our warehouse.
We work closely with many businesses in Kodiak and Alaska including: Horizon Lines, Samson
• Tug & Barge, Kodiak Area Native Association, Native Village of Afognak, Woody Island Tribal
Council, The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, Rasmuson Foundation, ALTAR, Hope
Community Resources, Brechan Enterprises and the Providence Counseling Center to name a few.
All of these entities combine with us to bring a robust recycling program and a strong program for
people with disabilities and other barriers to employment.
If you have any questions or need further clarification please do not hesitate to call.

Method of payment for service provided
Threshold would require $17,500 p month as a flat rate based on processing 650 tons of
recycling material_ We would return to the KM 10% of the money collected for recyclable
material. This rate would remain the same regardless of the increase in the amount of
recycling. The more recycling captured; the lower the cost per ton of material processed.
Description of proposed markets o processors that will be utilized
Currently, Threshold ships recyclable materials to three buyers.

Human Resource duties are handled by the Executive Director. Threshold has a bookkeeper
on stalittat provides any necessary sMitiona! human resource needs.
Subcontractors
Threshold does not intend to use subcontractors at this time.
6. Plan to meet Quarterly ! Benchmarks
Threshold plans to use radio and newspaper advertising to encourage recycling and
volunteerism. Volunteers will be Word-of-mouth advertisers in the community, which will add
to the increase in volume. We intend to' bring a sense of ownership to recycling. We usually do
31% of the year's volume in June,! July and August. Our goal for the first three months of the
contract year would be 504,000 pounds. In order to meet the quarterly benchmarks established
in the request for proposal Threshold plans to provide better service to the community through
our new paradigm. We will continue tolprovide, free of charge, recycle event containers to
organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce to increase recycling awareness. We will
continue to work with teachers in the various schools to do presentations, and give plant tours,
to educate children at an early age�regarding the importance of recycling. We will continue to
offer a recycle pick -up program to`businesses around town where we pick up recycled materials
at their place of business for a fee.;
•
Since commerce is seasonal in Kodiak re would apply outreach resources heavily during the
first two quarters of the contract to develop good habits in the community before winter sets in.
The KIB Strategic Plan indicates goal of reaching 50% diversion by the year 2020. Assuming
current diversion is at 10 %, an additional 5% per year would need to be diverted over the next S
years. This increase falls within oau projected recycle quantities for the terms of our contract
proposal.
Threshold already exceeds .KCB's t ontract expectations as we collect fluorescent tube bulbs
(approx. I ton/year) and electronics (approx. 15 tons /year) for a fee, and we collect used
vegetable oil (approx 800 gat/vend- Threshold also provides a document shredding service to
businesses and. individuals for a fee, which generates approximately 15 tons of recycling et
year. Threshold also accepts plastic; film (approx. 13 tons/year).

INTRODUCTION
THE PURPOSE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY (CEDS)
A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is the result of a process
designed to guide the economic growth of an area. It helps to coordinate the efforts of
individuals, organizations and private industry concerned with economic and community
development. This CEDS document is readily accessible to Kodiak Island communities
and can be used to receive federal funding. Funding and support for the preparation of
this CEDS document has provided by the City of Kodiak and Kodiak Island Borough.
MISSION
The Mission Statement of the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce CEDS Committee is to
help develop strong economies and healthy communities by providing leadership and
information to increase Kodiak Island's economic position.
ORGANIZATION & MANAGEMENT — THE CEDS COMMITTEE
The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce (KCC), having been contracted by the City of
Kodiak and the Kodiak Island Borough to provide specific economic development
activities, has assembled a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Committee. The Committee consists of twenty -five members, all of who are residents of
the Kodiak Island Borough and represent a cross section of the socioeconomic structure
of the community.

SUMMARY
Background
The island group known as the Kodiak Island Archipelago is located in the Gulf of
Alaska and encompasses roughly 6,559.8 square miles of land. By itself, Kodiak Island
is 3,588 square miles making it the second largest island in the United States. The
Kodiak Island Borough includes the entire archipelago and the Shelikof Strait shore -side
lands of Katmai National Park. The Island of Kodiak consists primarily of mountainous
terrain, with most peaks ranging between 2,000 and 4,000 feet. The uplands are
drained by relatively short, swift, and clear mountain streams.
The population of the Kodiak Island Borough, according to the Department of Labor
2011 population number is 13,870. The highest concentration of residents is in the City
of Kodiak and the road - connected vicinity surrounding the city. The remainder of the
population is distributed among the six remote Native communities around the island.
Economy
The economy of Kodiak is predominantly resource - based, depending on fish harvesting
and seafood processing as its largest basic industry. The seafood processing industry
provides 20% of the employment in Kodiak. The fish harvesting sector, which is not
covered by the state mandatory unemployment security tax (making employment
statistics unavailable), represents an estimated 8% of Kodiak's employment. This figure
is based on the number of fishing permits held in the Kodiak area and crew factors
predicated on the fishery and type of gear used.
The timber industry is another resource -based segment of Kodiak's economy. Almost
all of the timber is located on Afognak Island, the second largest island in the
archipelago. With the economic downturn in Asia, the primary market for Kodiak timber,
there has been a steady decline in exports of lumber. During 2011, the harvesters of
this private timber paid a severance tax of over $32 thousand to the Kodiak Island
Borough.
Other significant sectors of the economy are government, tourism and the aerospace
industry. Government (not including the U.S. Coast Guard) constitutes 19% of the
Kodiak economy by employment. The Coast Guard alone accounts for 16% of Kodiak's
employment. The visitor industry in Kodiak continues to grow and generated estimated
revenue of over $29 million in FY 2011.
The Kodiak Launch Complex (KLC) is the nation's first launch facility not located on
federal property and is positioned to meet the challenges and define Alaska's future role
in a highly competitive launch industry. The KLC celebrated its first mission November
15, 1998. To date, 15 successful missions have been launched. In 2009 the Alaska
Aerospace Development Corporation (AADC) formally changed its name to the Alaska
Aerospace Corporation (AAC). The economic impacts of AAC's operations and projects
in FY 2010 supported 44 local businesses. The total direct, indirect and included local
impacts to Kodiak's regional economy alone amounted to $6.3 million, generating 59
local jobs with $3.7 million in local payments for wage and salaries. AAC's expenditures
for goods and services, including subcontractor services, generated about $4.6 million
in direct payments to businesses operating in Kodiak. This spending was distributed
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 6
among 44 local businesses and increased business activities in 25 different industries
or sectors in the Kodiak regional economy. These sectors include construction, retail,
various professional and technical services, computer design, wholesale trade, and a
variety of hospitality and leisure sectors. In terms of employment, AAC supports 29
Kodiak -based full time equivalent jobs and paid about $2.2 million in wages. The KLC
attracted just fewer than 660 visits to Kodiak (255 mission and 404 non - mission). The
mission related visits contributed approximately $101,200 in sales for hotels,
restaurants, and other retail service sectors, while non - mission visits contributed
$163,700. The direct, indirect, and included spending for mission and non - mission
related visits contributed $347,800 in business sales and $128,900 in wages for the
local economy. The AAC is currently working on an expansion project to build a launch
pad so the KLC would be able launch medium weight rockets up to 12,000 pounds.
The future expansion of the KLC is a significant upgrade for the spaceport, which
currently can only lunch light rockets up to 4,000 pound.
Issues
The major economic development issue faced by the area is the need for diversification,
both in seafood harvesting /processing and in the economy in general. Unemployment
in Kodiak is highly volatile, ranging from less than 5.5% to a little over 12% in 2011, due
to the seasonal nature of the fishing industry. Most of the fish products exported from
Kodiak are only minimally processed (usually only headed and gutted). Bringing
stability to the seafood processing industry by diversifying into additional areas of value -
added (secondary) processing, while at the same time diversifying the economy as a
whole, is therefore a major economic development goal for Kodiak Island.
Economic development in the remote outlying communities is also an important issue.
Most of the communities have aging infrastructure that need upgrading to achieve
economic growth. Comprehensive and coordinated planning with the city governments,
tribal councils, and area Native associations and corporations will be necessary to
overcome these obstacles. The communities have access to the natural resources of
the island and the sea, providing an opportunity for economic development in the fish
harvesting, seafood processing, and visitor industries as infrastructure constraints are
overcome.

THE AREA AND ITS ECONOMY
Background Information
Historical Perspective of Kodiak's Economy
Since the early 1800s, Kodiak's economy has been based primarily on the fishing
industry. The advent of Russian occupation, with the introduction of salt, paved the way
for commercial salmon harvesting. The first salmon cannery was built on the Karluk spit
in 1882 to take advantage of the huge sockeye runs. By 1889, 5 canneries were
operating on the mouth of the Karluk River. Between 1887 and 1928 records indicate
that the sockeye harvest ranged between 1,004,500 (1887) to 4,826,200 fish (1901).
Intense competition led to the expansion of commercial fishing into other species of
salmon. From 1984 to 1999 the average ex- vessel value of the salmon harvest has
been $88.3 million. A record harvest of 39 million salmon occurred during 1993 in the
Kodiak Management Area (KMA). Kodiak's highly productive salmon industry is due in
part to the fact that there are over 800 salmon streams in the KMA.
Before 1950, most Kodiak processing facilities were devoted to salmon. In 1950,
60,000 pounds of king crab were landed and processing capacity was added by building
new plants and expanding older ones. The king crab fishery became a major force in
Kodiak's economy from 1950 to 1959 as the catch increased from 60,000 to 21 million
pounds. In 1968 the City of Kodiak became the largest fishing port in the United States
in terms of ex- vessel value. In the late 1960s and the early 1970s when harvest levels
began to fall, several processors made the decision to relocate to Unalaska and Dutch
Harbor to be closer to the crab supply. This diverted part of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Island harvest away from Kodiak. The 1982/83 season king crab harvest of 8.7
million pounds was the lowest in 24 years, followed by a closure of the fishery by the
Department of Fish and Game due to poor stock condition. In 2004, 873,235 pounds of
King Crab was landed at the Port of Kodiak.
The 1950s also marked the beginning of the Kodiak Shrimp fishery, with a harvest of
31,886 pounds in 1958. The fishery grew rapidly to an annual catch of 10 to 12 million
pounds in the early 1960s. The fishery slowed when shore plants and the fishing fleet
were badly damaged by the 1964 earthquake and tidal wave, but then grew rapidly to a
peak of 82.2 million pounds in 1971. As Kodiak shrimp catches declined in the late
1970s, much of the vessel effort shifted into the Chignik and South Peninsula areas until
those areas demonstrated similar declines in the late 1970s. In 2002, less than 3,000
pounds of shrimp was landed at the Port of Kodiak.
As the rate of return for Kodiak processing plants declined due to increased competition
for resources and over - harvesting, major efforts were made to develop the groundfish
fishery. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s the ex- vessel value of the groundfish
landings in Kodiak increased from $528,000 to over $64 million, making this one of
Kodiak's most valuable fisheries.
Fish processing has provided from ten to nearly forty percent of the total industrial
payroll in Kodiak since 1980. Those sectors of the Kodiak economy not directly
engaged in fishing consist largely of support services for the fishing industry, or of
enterprises that support the people who engage in fishing activities or its support.

Today, fish harvesting and seafood processing still dominate the employment
opportunity in Kodiak. Together, these two industries provided a combined 28% of total
employment in Kodiak for 2010.
General Description of the Area
The Kodiak Island Archipelago is located in the Gulf of Alaska about 30 miles across
Shelikof Strait, and 252 air miles southwest of Anchorage. The island group is
approximately 177 miles long and 67 miles across, extending from the Barren Islands
on the north, to Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands group on the south. The
Archipelago encompasses roughly 6,559.8 square miles of land, no point of which is
more than 15 miles from the sea. Kodiak Island's 3,588 square miles make it the
second largest island in the United States (only the island of Hawaii is larger). The
second largest island of the archipelago is Afognak, located north of Kodiak Island. The
Kodiak Island Borough includes the entire archipelago and the Shelikof Strait shore -side
lands of Katmai National Park. Kodiak Island consists primarily of mountainous terrain,
with the ridge of the mountains running northeast- southwest. Although several peaks
are greater than 4,000 feet, most range between2,000 and 4,000 feet. About 40 small
cirque glaciers (none greater than 2 miles) are evident along the main divide.
Numerous hanging valleys feed into the main canyons radiating from the central divide.
The uplands are drained by relatively short, swift and clear mountain streams.
The Barren Islands to the north of Shuyak Island are primarily rocky scapes. Tugidak
Island on the south is relatively flat and supports extensive areas of wet and moist
tundra. The outlying islands south of the Trinity Islands are lower in elevation than
Kodiak Island and support more limited vegetation growth.
From Shuyak Island to northeastern Kodiak Island, stands of Sitka spruce dominate
land from shore to the treeline. These stands extend south to a general northwest -
southeast dividing line running from Kupreanof Peninsula to Cape Chiniak. Southwest
Kodiak Island is relatively flat and supports extensive areas of wet and moist tundra.
Exposed bedrock and shallow soils prevail along the 2500 -mile rugged coastline.
Northwest Kodiak shows effects of glaciation, with long, narrow fjords and U- shaped
valleys. These lie perpendicular to the mountains and the geologic fault lines. Rivers
typically enter at the heads of the fjords and are backed by extensive flat lands. The
east and southeast coasts of the Archipelago are characterized by shorter, wider
estuarine embayments. Southwest Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands tend toward
long, continuous shorelines with few bays. Most of the sandy beaches occur on the
west coast of Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands.
Specific geographic features within the Kodiak Island Borough include: offshore areas;
estuaries; lagoons; wetlands and tidelands; rocky islands and sea - cliffs; exposed high -
energy coasts; rivers, streams, and lakes; and important upland areas.
Offshore Areas: Offshore areas include submerged lands and waters beyond mean
lower low water to the limit of Kodiak Island Borough. Because of the extensive
estuarine system of the Borough, offshore areas are those outside the headlands of the
estuaries. Living resources are abundant in the Borough's offshore area. Dominant
fauna include shellfish, finfish, marine mammals, and marine birds. Kelp and other
macroalgal beds provide habitat for sea otters, spawning herring, and juvenile fish.
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy

They are important feeding areas for waterfowl and marine birds, and provide valuable
primary production exported as algal drift, which is assimilated elsewhere in the marine
ecosystem.
Estuaries: In the borough, most nearshore marine waters are designated as estuarine
because of their extensive dilution by fresh water. Estuarine areas are considered to
extend from headland to headland of bays, inlets, and fjords. Well- developed delta
systems, apparently dominated by tidal action, lie at the head of most Kodiak fjords.
Kodiak estuarine areas are highly productive. The complexity of the submarine
topography and sediments and good algae growth, including extensive kelp beds,
provide basic nutrients and diverse habitat to support herbivore and carnivore
populations. In addition, many marine finfish and shellfish utilize the estuarine areas
during larval and juvenile stages of development.
Lagoons: Lagoons are most prevalent in the south and southwestern portions of the
Archipelago. Unlike other estuarine systems of the Islands, lagoons included in this
habitat are shallow and tend to have sandy or flat shorelines.
Wetlands and Tideflats: The presence of coastal tidelands surrounding the Kodiak
Archipelago is relatively low; however, the actual amount of habitat varies by region.
Kodiak and Afognak Islands have very limited tideflat wetland complexes. Extensive
tideflat- wetland complexes usually occur only at the heads of bays or around lagoons
on these islands. In addition to these saltwater habitats, large inland wetlands occur in
the Karluk River and Ayakulik River drainages in southwestern Kodiak. In sharp contrast
to the availability of these habitat types on Kodiak and Afognak Islands, shorelines
around the Trinity Islands contain extensive tideflats, and most of the Tugidak Island
mainland is wetland habitat. Tideflat - wetland complexes provide valuable habitat for
birds and marine mammals, particularly when used in combination with adjacent waters.
In addition, the tideflat areas, especially those that are composed of sandy beaches,
provide habitat for abundant clam and polychaete populations.
Rocky Islands and Seacliffs: Rocky islands generally have rock or cliff-lined shorelines.
Occasionally rocky islands have tundra - vegetated interiors or areas along their coasts
that are fairly level. This habitat category applies to most of the offshore islands. Along
the coast of the major islands, however, this habitat type is limited to those shores with
vertical cliffs. Offshore rocky islands and seacliffs are particularly important to marine
mammals and marine birds as haulout and nesting sites. Many of these sites are along
the east coast of Kodiak Island in the vicinity of Chiniak and Ugak Bays. The remaining
sites are distributed around the archipelago and along the shoreline on the west side of
Shelikof Strait.
Exposed High- Energy Coasts: Exposed bedrock shores comprise approximately 50
percent of Kodiak and Afognak Islands, and a large percentage of the Alaska Peninsula
coastline on the west side of Shelikof Strait. Almost 90 percent of the Barren Islands
are exposed bedrock. Exposed bedrock shores usually have moderate to steep
gradients. Exposed high- energy coasts provide habitat for a variety of marine littoral -
zone flora and fauna, which in turn are used by important fish and wildlife resources. In
addition, high- energy coasts provide feeding and nesting habitat for bird species and a
food source and resting habitat for marine mammals.

Rivers, Streams, and Lakes: The largest lakes and longest rivers within the Borough are
located in southwest Kodiak Island. Major southwest lakes include Karluk, Frazer, Red,
Akalura, and South Olga lakes. Other important lake systems on Kodiak Island, such
as Spiridon, Little River, Uganik, Terror, Buskin, and Lake Rose Tead, are significantly
smaller. Small pothole and high mountain lakes are also prevalent. Pothole lakes are
generally found along the Upper Ayakulik River, between Olga Bay and the ocean, at
the mid -reach of the Karluk River, on the Lower Aluilik Peninsula, and throughout
Tugidak Island. Pothole lakes are also prevalent in the north and northeast sections of
Afognak Island and on Shuyak Island. Major lakes on Afognak Island include: Selief
Lake, Afognak Lake, Big and Little Kitoi Lakes, Pauls, Laura, and Gretchen Lakes,
Portage Lake, Little Waterfall Lake, Hidden Lake, and Upper and Lower Melina Lakes.
Due to the steep topography of the Aleutian Range mountains on the west side of
Shelikof Strait, there are few lakes located in that area of the Kodiak Island Borough.
With the exception of the Ayakulik and Karluk rivers in southwest Kodiak Island, rivers in
the archipelago tend to be short and steep, often originating in small mountain lakes or
small glaciers. Rivers, streams, and lakes provide critical aquatic habitat for resident
and anadromous fish populations. In addition, they support summer and winter
activities of bird and mammal populations, particularly waterfowl, bear, beaver, and land
otters. Rivers and streams are the conduit for the freshwater component of estuarine
systems, and serve as a valuable link between upland and marine environments.
Uplands: The archipelago uplands can be subdivided into four general areas based
primarily on vegetative and terrain features. These areas are; (1) north of Kodiak Island,
(2) the major portion of Kodiak Island, (3) southwest of Kodiak Island, lower Aliulik
Peninsula, and the Trinity Islands, and (4) the Alaska Peninsula coastline west of
Shelikof Strait. The first category, characterized by well - developed stands of mature
Sitka spruce, includes Shuyak, Afognak, Raspberry, Whale, Spruce, and Marmot
Islands.
The major portion of Kodiak Island forms the second category of uplands. Upland
habitat distributions are closely related to differences in elevation. At very high
elevations, unconsolidated material is generally absent. Below the peaks, mountainous
areas have typical alpine vegetation. Steep mountains below 3,000 feet have dense
shrub and ground cover. Lower slopes and valley floors are covered by sand and
gravel of glacial origin, valley alluvium, alluvial fans, talus deposits, and ash from the
1912 eruption of Mt. Katmai. Cottonwood and occasionally Kenai birch are common
stands along the lower reaches of major drainages.
The third region includes southwest Kodiak Island and the Trinity Islands. This region
escaped glaciation and is vegetatively and topographically different from the rest of the
Kodiak Archipelago. Plants are uniquely similar to species found in the Alaskan Arctic
and unlike those found elsewhere in the Archipelago. The area is characterized by
extensive moist and wet tundra surrounded by rounded low hills.
The upland terrain along the west side of Shelikof Strait is dominated by the northeast -
southwest trending mountains of the Aleutian Range. The short, steep - gradient
drainages to the Gulf of Alaska are generally situated in steep valleys with cottonwood
stands along the stream courses. At higher elevations, the vegetation is characteristic
alpine tundra and bare rock and soil.

Land Use and Ownership:
Borough Lands - The Kodiak Island Borough owns roughly 56,500 acres of land within
the Borough. Most of this land was originally obtained and selected under municipal
entitlement from the State of Alaska; the configurations of other parcels are the result of
land trades with the State and occasional tax foreclosures. The majority of Borough
land is located on Raspberry Island; Ugak Bay and Hidden Basin also include numerous
pockets that total a sizeable portion of Borough land acreage. Lease and disposal of
Borough lands are subject to review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and
approval by the Borough Assembly. The Kodiak Island Borough zoning ordinance
contains 18 zoning districts: Watershed (W); Wildlife Habitat (WH), Natural Use Lands
(NU); Conservation (C); Rural Development (RD); Rural Residential (RR); Rural
Residential One (RR1); Rural Residential Two (RR2); Single Family Residential (R1);
Two Family Residential (R2); Multi- Family Residential (R3); Business (B); Rural
Neighborhood Commercial (RNC); Urban Neighborhood Commercial (UNC); Retail
Business (RB); Light Industrial (LI); Industrial (I); and Public Use Lands (PL). Three
special use codes are used for mobile homes, zero lot line residential and sing
residential occupancy (SRO). Recreational land use includes 11 borough parks totaling
60 acres in size.
State Lands - The most significant State lands in the Borough are the vast tidelands.
The State also owns a significant amount of upland area in the Borough. Most State
uplands are in the northeast part of the Borough near the City of Kodiak, south around
Ugak Bay to Dangerous Cape, northeast Afognak Island and Shuyak Island. The
Division of State Parks within the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
manages all state parkland in the Borough. A few areas have had management
authority transferred to other State agencies. In 2004/05 DNR completed the Area plan
for Alaska State Lands that provided a land use policy for all state lands not assigned to
a specific agency. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
manage roads and airport facilities, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF &G)
manages the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area and the Division of State Parks within
DNR manages state parklands. State parks accessible by road include: Fort
Abercrombie, Buskin River and Pasagshak State Recreation Sites. Most of Shuyak
Island and a large portion of northeast Afognak Island are undeveloped state parks
accessible only by water or air. In total, 5 state parks throughout Kodiak Island
comprise 96,228 acres.
Federal Lands - Much of the Borough contains land managed by federal authorities.
The major federal landowner in the Borough is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS). USFWS manages the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR), which
comprises 1.8 million acres of the archipelago, the Becharof and Alaska Peninsula
National Wildlife Refuge (APNWR), and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge
(AMNWR). The USFWS is the largest single landowner in the Borough. The Borough
boundary on the west, across Shelikof Strait, includes a portion of Katmai National Park
managed by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service. The refuges are
managed primarily for wildlife, yet allow a wide variety of recreational and commercial
uses that do not interfere with the primary purpose of each refuge.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Department of Homeland Security, manages several
important facilities on Kodiak Island. The U.S. Coast Guard base Kodiak, which is
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 12
located near the Kodiak urban area, contains over 21,000 acres. The base complex
provides infrastructure to support several Coast Guard Cutters, Air Station Kodiak,
Integrated Support Command Kodiak, Communications Station Kodiak, Loran Station
Kodiak, Electronic Support Unit Kodiak, North Pacific Fisheries Training Center, Marine
Safety Detachment Kodiak, plus several other Coast Guard detachments. The U.S.
Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land Special Operations) Cold Weather Training
Detachment is housed on the base facilities at Spruce Cape. Other tenants located on
the main complex include the Federal Aviation Administration, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, the National Weather Service, and the National Marine
Fisheries Service. The US Coast Guard base contains a full range of facilities and land
uses usually associated with a major urban area, including recreational, residential,
institutional, and commercial. The uses of land on the base and other federal facilities
are generally exempt from local regulation. However, the uses are subject to federal
requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other
environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.
A portion of the scattered small rural parcels in the Borough are federal trust lands.
Except for Native Allotments and Federal Townsite lots, no other federal trust lands,
such as Indian reservations, exist in the Borough. These parcels are held in trust by the
federal government in the name of the owner. The activities on the parcel and any
transfer of title must be approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Since they are
federal trust lands, the parcels are exempt from most local and state regulations, as well
as taxation, until ownership is transferred. Federal environmental laws such as NEPA
and the Clean Air and Water Acts do apply.
Private Lands - The greatest growth among land ownership categories in the Borough
has been privately held lands. Most of the lands selected by the Native regional
corporation, Koniag, and the village corporations have been transferred for
management or patented to the corporations. Over 675,000 acres of and have been
transferred to these private corporations. This amounts to about 14 percent of the total
land mass of the Borough. Much of this acreage, such as that on Afognak Island, was
selected for timber resources or other development potential. However, some of this
acreage was selected from within Wildlife Refuges and contains areas with high habitat
values for fish and wildlife. The surface estate to former Wildlife Refuge lands is subject
to regulation to ensure its protection in a manner compatible with the management
objectives of the Wildlife Refuges and the subsurface estate (mineral rights) to such
land was retained by the federal government. Except for lands previously part of a
Wildlife Refuge, the subsurface estate of all Native lands is owned by Koniag, Inc.
Population and Urban Centers:
The total 2011 population of the Kodiak Island Borough is 13,870. Following are
descriptions of the major population areas:
The City of Kodiak is located near the northeastern tip of Kodiak Island. The city is 45
minutes by air from Anchorage and just over 3 hours flight time from Seattle. The
Alaska State Ferries, the MN Tustumena and MN Kennicott, connect Kodiak with Port
Lions and the communities of the Kenai Peninsula. The Kodiak State Airport has three
paved runways of various lengths with FAA tower services. Kodiak also features a
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 13
municipal airport with a 2,883 foot paved runway. There are floatplane facilities at Lilly
Lake, St. Paul Harbor, and Trident Basin on Near Island. The city is served by two
airlines conducting a total of 7 flights daily between Anchorage and Kodiak. Kodiak is
also served by two all -cargo carriers and one scheduled intra - island carrier. The Port of
Kodiak Municipal Harbor, owned by the City of Kodiak, is home to Alaska's largest
fishing fleet, having a total of 650 slips. The City of Kodiak has 6,312 residents. The
surrounding road - connected residential areas are Chiniak, Monashka Bay, Service
District 1, the U.S. Coast Guard base, and Women's Bay. The combined population of
these areas is approximately 6,701.
In addition to the City of Kodiak and vicinity, other population concentrations include the
six Native communities found in the archipelago:
Ouzinkie is located on the southwest shore of Spruce Island which lies just off the
northeast end of Kodiak Island in the Gulf of Alaska. The community of Ouzinkie is 10
air miles north of the City of Kodiak, and 247 air miles southwest of Anchorage. Spruce
Island is characterized by swampy areas, volcanic and sedimentary rock, and an
abundance of tall spruce trees. Ouzinkie was founded in the early 1800s by the Russian
American Company as the site of a retirement community. The current estimated
population of Ouzinkie is 178.
MN Lazy Bay, an Intra- Kodiak Island marine cargo vessel, delivers freight on demand
from Kodiak. The state of Alaska's 2,500 -foot gravel runway is maintained by the City.
There is no crosswind runway or tower service. Island Air Service makes scheduled
passenger and mail trips to Ouzinkie. Charter service between the City of Kodiak and
Ouzinkie is also available from several charter air services.
Port Lions is located near the mouth of Kizhuyak Bay on the north end of Kodiak Island
near Whale Island the City of Kodiak and the Shelikof Strait. The City of Kodiak is 19 air
miles to the southwest, with Anchorage 247 air miles to the southwest. The
mountainous terrain is covered with Sitka spruce, cottonwood, birch, alder and willow
trees. Port Lions was established following the partial destruction of Afognak Village, on
Afognak Island, by a tsunami in the good Friday Earthquake of 1964. Approximately 204
people live in Port Lions.
From March through September, the State of Alaska's MN Tustumena ferry stops at
Port Lions. The 2,600 -foot State -owned gravel airstrip can accommodate small twin -
engine aircraft. There is no crosswind runway or tower service. Island Air Service and
Servant Air provide mail and passenger service. Charter air service between Port Lions
and the City of Kodiak is also available. Float planes can land at the harbor. The 8
miles of gravel- surfaced roads are maintained by the City of Port Lions.
Larsen Bay is located near the junction of Larsen Bay and Uyak Bay fjords on the
northwest coast of Kodiak Island. Larsen Bay is 60 miles southwest of the City of
Kodiak, and 283 miles southwest of Anchorage. Larsen Bay is situated in a valley
between tree and shrub covered hills and mountains. The village of Larsen Bay has
been an Alutiiq village for centuries. Russian fur traders brought trade to the area
during the mid- 1700s. A commercial fish cannery was first established in Larsen Bay in
1912. There are approximately 89 residents of the village. During the summer months
the village of Larsen Bay more than doubles in population as commercial fishing gets

underway. Summer and fall are also characterized by an influx of tourists seeking to go
sport- fishing, bear viewing, deer and waterfowl hunting, and sight- seeing.
MN Lazy Bay makes trips from Kodiak upon request and Coastal Transportation has
two scheduled stops a year. The State of Alaska's 2,500 -foot gravel runway has no
crosswind runway or tower services. Regular passenger and mail services are provided
by Island Air Service. The community is also served daily by several air services from
Kodiak. Floatplanes land in the bay near the community. The 3.5 miles of gravel
roadway are maintained by the City of Larsen Bay.
Karluk is located on the northwest side of Kodiak Island facing the Shelikof Strait.
Karluk is 67 air miles southwest of the City of Kodiak, and 301 air miles southwest of
Anchorage. The terrain of the area is characterized by low -lying mountains laced with
rivers and streams. The Karluk River runs through the community and features all five
species of salmon. In 1786, a permanent community was established as a Russian
trading post. In the early 1900s Karluk was a major salmon producing community with
several canneries processing millions of fish. A prominent feature in the community is
the Karluk Russian Orthodox Church, a historical landmark. There are about 37 people
residing in Karluk.
The State of Alaska's 1,700 -foot runway can accommodate a Cessna 208 caravan.
There is no crosswind runway or control tower. Island Air Service provides regular
passenger service. There is about one mile of gravel road in the community.
Akhiok is situated on the west side of Alitak Bay between Kemph Bay and Moser Bay
on the south end of Kodiak Island. It is about 98 air miles southwest of Kodiak City. The
local shoreline is characterized by narrow rocky beaches with a gradual incline up to
surrounding uplands. The terrain around Akhiok is low hills and tundra like valleys and
flat land. The village site was established in 1881. The tsunami of 1964 destroyed the
village of Kaguyak, just to the east of Akhiok, and all the Kaguyak villagers were
relocated to Akhiok. There are about 82 people living in this strong Orthodox faith -based
community. Residents of the community are predominantly Aleut with a small number of
Caucasian and Filipino. The serene, beautiful village is home to an abundance of
animal life including the Sitka black tail deer, five species of salmon and many other salt
water fish species; all of which sustain the subsistence lifestyle of the majority of Akhiok
residents. Currently, twenty -two Alutiiq dancers, ranging in age from 2 years to
adulthood perform for visitors and across the state of Alaska.
Access to Akhiok is by water or air. Island Air Service provides daily service from
Kodiak to Akhiok. Charter flights are also available from other island -based carriers.
The State of Alaska operates a 3,120 -foot runway south of the town. There is no
crosswind runway or tower service. The facility can be used by wheeled general
aviation and amphibious float - planes.
Old Harbor is located on the southeast side of Kodiak Island in Sitkalidak Strait off the
Gulf of Alaska. The community is about 50 miles southwest of Kodiak and 300 miles
southwest of Anchorage. The Alutiiq people settled Old Harbor more than 7,000 years
ago. The community is the site of the first Russian colony in Alaska. There are about
208 people living in Old Harbor. Old Harbor is the site of a historic Russian Orthodox
Church. Old Harbor's economy is based on commercial fishing. Tourism is also a
growing part of the economy.

MW Lazy Bay offers service between Kodiak and Old Harbor. The State of Alaska owns
and operates the 2,800 -foot runway that can accommodate twin otter aircraft. No flight
tower or crosswind runway is available. Island Air Service and Servant Air provide
regular passenger and mail service to Old Harbor. The village is also served by several
charter air services on a daily basis from the City of Kodiak.
Remainder of Borough. Remote areas of the borough, including Kazakof Bay on

Natural Resources
Fisheries
The most important natural resources to the economy of Kodiak are the fisheries. Fish
stocks harvested and brought into Kodiak for processing are found in the Gulf of Alaska,
the Aleutian Islands, and the Bering Sea. The quantity of retained catch brought into the
Kodiak Island Borough for processing during 2010 is indicated in the graph below.

Timber
The forest products industry is a declining segment of the Kodiak economy. The Sitka
spruce forested area of the Borough continues to expand from its initial occurrence on
the northern islands toward both the South and West. Due to the nature of the relatively
young emerging stands, the initial open -grown trees have less natural pruning and
subsequently exhibit more knots than would similar trees in mature stands or second
growth stands with higher volumes per acre. The stands now in place are relatively
short in comparison to the more highly developed stands of Southeast Alaska -130 feet
as compared to 200 feet in total height. Second growth stands that develop with natural
regeneration following clear- cutting will produce more recoverable volume per acre and
higher sawlog grades in a shorter period of time than the present stands contain.
Approximately two- thirds of the timber recovered from the existing stands is grade 2 or
better sawlog material while the remainder is grades 3 and 4 sawlogs. In FY2011, the
private timber harvesters paid a severance tax of $32,000 to the Kodiak Island Borough.
One forest products company operates within the Kodiak Island Borough, at Danger
Bay. Another company Al Timber Consultant a Chehalis, Washington based company
currently operates out of the Chiniak area, Through the end of 2010 Al has requested
permits to harvest at least 16.5 million board feet of timber. Al 's logging operation is

difficult to predict due to the uncertainty of the market. The reason for the decreased
production is due to the decreased prices in Asia for our timber.
Outer Continental Shelf
The Kodiak Island Borough contains portions of sedimentary petroleum provinces or
basins within the Cook Inlet Planning Area for Oil and Gas Lease 149. Three petroleum -
exploration geologic plays are recognized in the sale area. A geologic play is a group of
geologically related prospects with a similar hydrocarbon source, reservoir, and trapping
mechanism. Only portions of two of these plays, the Mesozoic Structural Play, and the
Mesozoic Stratigraphic Play, fall within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough.
The Mesozoic Structural Play covers most of the sale area, extending from the
northeastern limit of the sale area in Cook Inlet into the northeastern portion of the
Shelikof Strait in the Kodiak Island Borough. The Mesozoic Stratigraphic Play is best
developed in the central and southern parts of the sale area, running the entire length of
the Shelikof Strait and encompassing the northeastern half of the Strait as well as the
shore -side lands of the Alaska Peninsula.
The ultimate potential for the base case in the entire sale area (not all of which is
located within the boundaries of the Kodiak Island Borough) is estimated to be 500
million barrels. The high side potential is estimated to be 1.2 million barrels. Resource
estimates for only those portions of the Sale Area located within the Kodiak Island
Borough are not available.
Metallic Minerals
Kodiak Island Borough contains two regional metal provinces —areas characterized by a
distinct association or anomalous concentrations of metals. These provinces are also
characterized by the potential for mineral development and concentrations of mining
claim activity.
The two metal provinces occupy the northwest half of the Borough. The province that
extends along the northwest coast of the Borough is rated high for the occurrence of
chromium and copper. The second province, which extends from near the northwest
coast to the middle of the Borough is not rated high. The major commodities are gold
and copper; the minor commodities are lead, zinc, silver, and tungsten.
Exploration for minerals in the Borough has been sporadic and limited to areas of easy
access. Nearly all the mineral claims and areas of related activity are located near
water passages. The interior portions of the islands are relatively unexplored. It has
been estimated that less than 20 percent of the Borough has been adequately
prospected. Although no commercial metallic deposits have been discovered in the
Archipelago, the potential is present in the form of adequate intrusive units and
widespread host rocks. Historically, gold has been the major commodity found in the
Borough, in both placer and lode deposits.
Metallic mineral resource development has occurred in the past on a small scale, but at
present there are no commercial -scale mining activities.
Placer Deposits. Placer deposits occur along beaches and are believed to be the result
of wave and current action on the tills and gravels that form the sea cliffs along portions
of the northern and western coasts. A direct geologic relationship between the placer
gold and the gravels and tills has not been established since gold has not been found in
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 18
these sediments. The ultimate source of the placer gold is probably quartz veins in the
slates and graywacks of the interior part of the island. The probability of offshore placer
gold deposits is considered low.
Placer operations have generally been small -scale and worked from time to time. It has
been estimated that $150,000 worth of gold was recovered from the beach sands in the
early twentieth century. Very minor quantities of platinum and chromite were recovered
with the placer gold. Magnetite and pyrite have also been recovered from placer
deposits.
Lode Deposits. Lode gold prospects, mainly in quartz veins, occur throughout the
Borough. The gold lode deposits are associated with the quartz intrusives and with
dikes and sills that are probably related at depth to the intrusives. The host rocks are
generally slates and graywackes.
The lode deposits were discovered in the late 1800s, and have been sporadically
explored and worked since then. Load mining took place mostly before World War I
and to a lesser extent until about 1935. None of the attempts to mine lodes has been
commercially successful —with the possible exception of the Amok Claim at Uyak Bay.
Several other gold lodes were prospected in the Uyak Bay area around the turn of the
century. Some gold was probably taken out of these lodes by their discoverers, but
there is no recorded production, and after minor development, they were abandoned.
Assays on load of the east shore of Uganik Passage showed high gold tenor, and a
small mill was installed on the property in 1935. There is no recorded production.
Scheelite (tungsten ore) was found disseminated as fine grains and veinlets in quartzitic
zones in graywacke on Chalet Mountain near the head of Anton Larsen Bay.
Investigations on this ore in the late 1950s concluded that these deposits are not
commercial. A copper prospect located on the northwestern side of Sitkalidak Island
was examined in the late 1930s and early 1940s. At the time, the deposit was not
considered commercial. Lode occurrences of other commodities, such as silver, lead,
and zinc, have been reported. The occurrence of placer deposits of chromite and
platinum suggests the presence of lode deposits along the northwest coast.
Nonmetallic Minerals
Thin beds of coal have been reported in Tertiary sediments in the eastern part of Kodiak
and on Sitkinak Island. None of the coal exposed in surface outcrops has sufficient
reserves to be considered commercial. A large sand and gravel deposit is located on
one of the Trinity Islands.
Shakmanof Cove Prospect: A granite deposit located at Kizhuyak Point which is
accessible via Shakmanof Cove near the village of Ouzinkie has long been looked at as
a significant hard rock source for Kodiak Island and other statewide needs. The area's
surface rights are owned by Ouzinkie Native Corporation and subsurface rights are
owned by Koniag Incorporated. Test results reveal a very strong, blocky and competent
Granite rock. Taken together, the field investigation and laboratory analyses indicate
that the Shackmanof granite is suitable for the following marketable rock products:
- All Grades of riprap (DOT &PF highways and airports specifications) from Class I
through IV (smallest to largest)
- Shore protection rock products (US Army Corps of Engineers)
Kodiak Island Region

- Armor stone (DOT &PF airport spec)
- Gradations of crushed aggregate including base course; surface course;
aggregate for asphalt concrete pavement, concrete, cover coat and surface
treatment, filter blanket and subbase (DOT &PF highway and airport specs)
- Selected material types A, B, and C
- Porous backfill
- Gabion backfill
Additional markets for the Shakmanof granite may include many other construction
products based on high quality aggregate (soil cement, emulsified asphalt treated base
course, etc.), and possibly architectural products such as granite facing, flooring, slabs,
etc.
Environmental Issues
Endangered and Threatened Species
Endangered or threatened species that occur in the Kodiak Island Borough, or may
enter the area with varying frequency, include the following:
Fin Whale (endangered): The North Pacific fin whale population, protected from
commercial harvest by the IWC since 1976, currently lies between 14,620 and 18,630
individuals, less than half the estimated pre - exploitation population. In Alaska, some
whales spend the summer feeding over the continental shelf in the Gulf of Alaska,
including portions of lower Cook Inlet, Shelikof Strait, outer banks of the Kodiak
archipelago, and along the Alaska Peninsula. Fall migration occurs from September to
November with some fin whales consistently wintering in the Kodiak Island area,
primarily observed in bays and inshore waters from northwestern to southwestern
Kodiak Island and possibly the Gulf of Alaska; however, most of the North Pacific
population is believed to winter far offshore at latitudes from central California to Baja
California. Northward migrating fin whales enter the Gulf of Alaska from March to June,
and peak occurrence in the Kodiak Island - northern Gulf of Alaska area is reached by
May.
Humpback Whale (endangered): The North Pacific humpback whale population,
estimated to number 7,000 individuals, remains greatly depleted from pre - commercial
whaling levels of about 15,000. Humpbacks were protected from commercial harvest by
the IWC in 1966. Small numbers of humpbacks have been observed in bays of western
and northwestern Kodiak Island. The limited data available suggest that waters along
the south side of the Alaska Peninsula to the eastern Aleutians may be of particular
importance to summering humpbacks. Substantial numbers of humpbacks have been
sighted between the Kenai Peninsula and Afognak Island, with summer feeding
aggregations occurring in Marmot Bay and Northeast Afognak Island. In the Barren
Islands, as many as 50 individuals have been sighted simultaneously, with at least 100
present in local areas. Humpbacks are estimated to be present in this area from mid -
May until late August or September.
Sei Whale (endangered): The North Pacific sei whale population is estimated at 9,110
individuals; a definite trend for this species since its protection by the IWC in 1976 is not
evident. Sei whales are found offshore in the Gulf of Alaska and south of the Aleutian
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 20
Islands in summer, with numbers peaking in May and June. Southward migration
begins in August or September.
Beluga Whale (threatened): Beluga whales in Cook Inlet have been listed as
threatened under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Over - harvesting by
native subsistence hunters has been identified as the cause for the steep population
decline over the past decade. However, the MMPA listing, as well as a measure passed
by Senator Stevens in Congress, has given the National Marine Fisheries Service the
tools that it needs to regulate the native subsistence hunt. As a result, hunters have
been limited to a small annual take, as compared to the 80 or more whales they were
harvesting annually. The population has now begun to recover with the latest survey
showing 435 whales, compared to 350 whales in 1998.
Steller Sea Lion (threatened): The total adult/juvenile (nonpup) Steller (northern) sea
lion population in Alaska was estimated to have been 28,658 animals in 1998 and
declining, especially in the area from the central Aleutian Islands to at least the Kenai
Peninsula in the Gulf of Alaska where a decrease of 66 percent since 1989 has
occurred. An estimated 12,299 sea lions occupied the Gulf of Alaska (excluding
southeast Alaska) in 1998. A number of sites rather evenly distributed around the
Kodiak archipelago have been historically recognized as areas of sea lion
concentration. The range of sea lion concentrations extends from the Barren Islands
south to Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands, and to the Alaska Peninsula shoreline
on the west side of Shelikof Strait between Katmai Bay and Hallo Bay. Among them are
the most important sea lion rookeries in the Gulf of Alaska including Sugarloaf Island,
Marmot Island, and Chirikof Island. It is believed that sea lions use these sites year
round with fewer present in winter.
Aleutian Canada Goose: Current breeding range of the Aleutian Canada goose includes
several islands in the central and western Aleutians, and Kiliktagik and Anowik Island in
the Semidi Islands south of the Alaska Peninsula. Peak counts on the wintering areas
(California, Oregon) suggest the current population is about 37,000 individuals. The
Aleutian Canada Goose was reclassified from endangered to threatened status as of
1991. Due to the cooperative efforts of state, federal, private and international partners
the Aleutian Canada Goose is on the verge of a dramatic recovery and will soon be
removed from the list of threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
Steller Eider (threatened): In March 2000 the US Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to
designate approximately 17,000 square miles of land and 8,440 square miles of marine
waters as critical habitat for the Alaska- breeding population of Steller's eider, a
threatened sea duck. There are three populations of Steller's eider. Two breed in Russia
and one breeds in Alaska. Only the Alaska- breeding population is listed as threatened.
The historical population size and distribution of Alaska- breeding Steller's eider are not
well known, but biologists suspect both the population's breeding range and abundance
have decreased significantly due to unknown causes. They estimate a few hundred to a
few thousand birds now occupy the North Slope breeding grounds.
Harbor Seal: Harbor seals are the prominent nearshore seal. Known areas of harbor
seal haulout concentrations include the Barren Islands; the west shoreline of Shuyak
Island; protected bays on the north and west shores of Afognak Island; bays and rocky
promontories in Alitak Bay; the Trinity Islands; Chirikof Island and the Semidi Islands;
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 21
Wide Bay; Puale Bay; Kukak Bay; and the Kiukpalik Islands. Despite the fact that harbor
seals do not generally congregate in dense colonies, more than 125 sites that contain
high density seal populations have been identified around the Borough. Outstanding
among these sites is Tugidak Island, historically one of the largest pupping season
concentrations in the world. Between the mid -70s and 1990 the population of harbor
seals in the Tugidak Island area declined approximately 90 %. In 1996, the mean count
of harbor seals within the Kodiak Archipelago was estimated at 4,437. Scientists have
not been able to identify the specific cause of the harbor seal population decline at
Tugidak, but harbor seal populations have been observed to be in a severe decline
throughout nearly all their areas of distribution in Alaska with the exception of Southeast
Alaska.
Although not listed as endangered or threatened, the harbor seal could possibly be
soon designated as a "depleted species" under the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Northern Sea Otters (threatened): In November 2000 the US Fish and Wildlife Service
published a notice in the Federal Register designating northern sea otters in the
Aleutian Islands as candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Because the Aleutians have long been considered a stronghold for the species, their
severe decline over the past decade is a cause for concern. Recent data collected by
both the Fish & Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey show that the sea otter
population in the Aleutians has declined by 70% in the past 8 years. As few as 6,000
otters may remain in the entire Aleutian chain, down from a 1980s population estimate
of between 50,000 and 100,000 animals. Biologists speculate that the cause of the
decline may be due to increased predation by killer whales.
Cultural /Historic Sites
Character of Cultural Properties: People have lived in the Kodiak Archipelago for
more than 7,500 years. The first islanders were Native Alaskans - the ancestors of the
contemporary Alutiiq people. Well equipped for life in a maritime environment, they
settled Kodiak's coast to harvest the wealth of local marine mammals and birds, fish and
shellfish. In the late 18 century, the resources that had sustained the Alutiiq for
millennia began attracting a diversity of colonists. Russian fur traders came to the
region to harvest sea otters, and they were followed by a succession of American,
Scandinavian and Asian entrepreneurs who contributed to the development of the
modern fishing and canning industries, and participated in the military build up that
accompanied the World War II era.
Evidence of this long cultural heritage is preserved in an abundance of cultural
properties; archaeological sites and historic buildings. The Alaska Heritage Resources
Survey (AHRS), the state maintained compendium of archaeological sites - records
more than 1,000 sites for the region. This represents roughly 4% of all of Alaska's
cultural properties in an area that covers less than 0.5% of the state's total land mass.
This wealth of known sites reflects Kodiak's climate, high population densities and the
region's history of archaeological research. Large prehistoric populations produced
numerous sites that have resisted decay in the region's cool, wet environment and a
number of these sites have been documented by scientists. Importantly, these sites
represent only a portion of the past settlements preserved on the landscape. Each year
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 22
archaeologists add to the regional site inventory as unsurveyed areas are investigated
and as sites are uncovered by erosion and development.
The sites of the Kodiak region represent a diversity of activities. Prehistoric deposits
include ancient coastal villages, stream -side camps, burial caves, stone fishing weirs,
petroglyphs pecked into cliff faces, ridge -top cairns, stone quarries, and ancient trails.
In addition to the stone tools commonly found in prehistoric settlements, many of
Kodiak's sites also contain shell, bone, antler, and ivory objects. A rare few hold
spectacular assemblages of wood and fiber artifacts. Many are also rich with
architectural features, including house foundations, tent rings, hearths, clay -lined
storage pits, slate boxes, and burials. This well preserved record documents thousands
of years of continuous settlement and chronicles the adaptation of Native societies to
the region's productive marine environment.
Historic sites also provide an invaluable view of the past. From the Russian Orthodox
churches found in Kodiak communities to the remains of sea otter hunting artels and
historic cemeteries, nineteenth century salmon hatcheries and cannery buildings, and
World War II era concrete bunkers, there is a wealth of material evidence documenting
the intensive, multi - cultural forces that combined to create modern Kodiak. These sites
occur both as archaeological deposits (e.g. buried deposits, building foundations, etc.)
as well as contemporary features in the Kodiak community (e.g. standing structures,
maintained cemeteries, etc.).
This extensive archaeological record holds extremely valuable information about
Kodiak's human history, particularly the period preceding European colonization for
which there are no written records. Each site contains a unique piece of the
archipelago's cultural history that is not preserved in any other place. Unfortunately,
many of these sites continue to be damaged by natural and human forces. Erosion, site
vandalism, and land development are the most common sources of disturbance.
Erosion is a particularly wide spread problem. Winter storms, meandering rivers, and
earthquakes remodel Kodiak's shoreline, causing coastal sites to slough into the ocean.
Although illegal, recreational digging and artifact collecting have long been popular
activities and continue to contribute to the destruction of sites. By removing objects from
sites and disturbing their layers, vandals substantially decrease the information that
scientists can recover.
Oil spills are another potential source of site damage, through the direct deposition of
oil, or through secondary oil transport by winds, storm tides, ground water migration,
and the movement of birds and animals. One major injury caused by oil contamination
is the inability to radiocarbon date contaminated materials. Additionally, increased
access to remote coastal areas by cleanup crews can increase knowledge of site
locations and accelerate site vandalism.
National Register of Historic Places Sites in the Kodiak Archipelago: Seven of the
roughly 1,000 sites listed on the AHRS for the Kodiak Archipelago are also listed on the
National Register of Historic Places - the federal compendium of cultural significant
properties. These sites, which largely reflect Kodiak's historic era, are summarized
below. It is important to note that a very large proportion of the remaining sites listed on
the AHRS may also be eligible for inclusion in the National Register. While the seven
sites described are clearly important to Kodiak's history, they represent a tiny fraction of
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 23
the region's significant cultural resources. They are simply those that have been through
the lengthy nomination process. Other sites will undoubtedly be added to the list.
The Russian Kiln Site (049 -KOD -207: Located on Long Island off the east shore of
Kodiak Island, this is one of the few historic sites associated with brick making, which
was a subsidiary industry of the Russian American Company. The 3000 to 6000 bricks
that were produced annually were used as ballast in the company's ships, in the
construction of stoves to heat employee quarters, and in bathhouses. This site is
considered to be significant for its contribution to the industrial history of Alaska.
Subsistence caused by the 1964 earthquake has contributed to site erosion, scattering
brick debris along the shore below the site.
The Erskine House (049 -KOD -123): The Erskine House is located on Marine Way in
downtown Kodiak. This building is the only standing structure in Kodiak associated with
the Russian American Company and the Alaska Commercial Company, the two
commercial enterprises that were controlling factors in the early administration of
Alaska. Local tradition indicates the building was erected by Alexander Baranof about
1792 -3 as an office and fur warehouse. The building was constructed in a typical
Russian - American style with rough -hewn square logs and a hipped roof. Numerous
alterations have been made to the building, which is now being used as the Kodiak
Historical Society's Baranov Museum.
Fort Abercrombie State Historic Site (049 -KOD -137): Situated approximately five miles
north of the City of Kodiak, the remains of this World War II era fort are representative of
North Pacific coast defense installations. The site is strategically located atop a high
headland, and commands a view of the surrounding straits and bays. Dense stands of
mature Sitka spruce provide a natural camouflage for the fort. The area was withdrawn
as a military reservation in 1941 but remained operational until 1945. The fort was
named in honor of Lieutenant William H. Abercrombie, a noted Alaskan explorer of the
late nineteenth century. Although Fort Abercrombie was never engaged in battle, its
ruins are remnants of a time when foreign invasion was anticipated on American soil.
The remains of the fort include concrete beds for gun emplacements, fragments of
exploded armaments, cavernous magazines, and building foundations. The site is
presently open to the public primarily for day -use activities.
The Three Saints Site (049 -KOD -124): Located on the southeastern shore of Kodiak
Island on the western shore of Three Saints Bay, this multi- component site contains a
prehistoric occupation dating from 0 -900 A.D., followed by a historic occupation
beginning in the 1700s. Excavation and analysis of the prehistoric site provided the
basis for the definition of the Three Saints Bay Phase of the Kachemak Bay Tradition - a
prehistoric era dating from roughly 2,400 to 800 years ago. Investigation of the historic
component illustrates the site's connection to the Russian era. In 1784 the first Russian
colony in America was established at Three Saints Bay and for eight years the colony
served as the headquarters of the Shelikhov - Golikof Fur Company. The colony
consisted of numerous log buildings including dwellings, bunkhouses, warehouses,
commissary, barns, storage buildings, smithy, carpentry shop, and ropewalk. All of the
buildings were destroyed as the result of subsistence resulting from earthquakes, and
there are no surface remains today.

Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church (049 -KOD -195): This 50 year -old church is the
most distinguished architectural feature of the Kodiak skyline. The frame building is laid
out on an apsidal - transect plan and covered with white shingles. All the windows are
center pointed. A single extended church tower at the front is capped with the
traditional Orthodox onion dome, painted blue. A second onion dome and supporting
hexagonal tower surmount the medium gable transept roof. A detached bell tower and
several graves marked with marble monuments are also on the site.
A church built between 1843 and 1867 originally occupied the site until it was destroyed
by fire in 1943. The existing structure was erected in 1945. Only the detached bell
tower is believed to have survived from the earlier church. Icons and religious objects,
some dating from the early nineteenth century, adorn the interior. One icon, that of the
Holy Resurrection (date 1793), was brought by Saint Herman (then Monk Herman) from
Russia with the original party of Orthodox missionaries in 1794. The church is still used
for Orthodox services.
American Cemetery (049 -KOD -132): Other than the surroundings and the settling and
shifting of pits, mounds, markers, and headstones; the expected attrition of age, the
American Cemetery physically appeared much as it did when abandoned in 1940 for
fifty years. The cemetery originated as a military cemetery to serve Fort Kodiak. This
fort and military post was established with the American occupation of Alaska (Russian
America) immediately after the purchase of the Territory.
Five of the soldiers from the original fort are known to be buried there. Their names are
listed in the National Archives, Old Military Records. In addition to these men, there
exist two graves of Unknown Soldiers, and many local residents from 1868 to 1940,
including G. G. Holt, the first white man to cross Chilkoot Pass.
The Cemetery continued to be used by the Village and then the City of Kodiak until
1940. In 1990, the Alaska Societies of the Daughters of the American Colonists and the
Daughters of the American Revolution renovated the site.
Middle Bay Brick Kiln (049 -KOD -011): This site, located on the southeastern shoreline
of Middle Bay, holds the remains of a colonial Russian brick kiln. Test excavations
uncovered a portion of a brick platform, remnants of two brick walls, and a small
standing brick arch. The site has been affected by erosion, and by recreational brick
collecting.
The standing arch may have been one of a number of features constructed to (a)
support the kiln floor and (b) house the kiln fires. Kilns similar to this one continue to be
used in the Near East. Brick kilns having arches for firing purposes were certainly being
used in seventeenth century England. Such kilns allowed the hot air to circulate upward
among the green bricks stacked within the kiln, the bricks being "baked" or "fired" in the
process. While the documentary search did not uncover any references to Russian
kilns, it is quite possible that brick firing techniques used in Western Europe would have
been used in European Russia, and subsequently Russian America, as well.
The structural remains uncovered at the KOD -011 represent an important subsidiary
industry of Russian America. These features currently suggest that the site may have
been the location of a type of kiln in general use for thousands of years, a type that
might have been feasible for use by Russian colonists in America. The KOD -011 site

has enormous potential for increasing our understanding of Russian colonial brick
making operations in the Western Hemisphere.
Marine Archaeology: In addition to the archaeological sites on land, the continental
shelf surrounding Kodiak also has the potential to hold important underwater sites.
Eustatic sea -level changes since deglaciation have caused the region's coastline to vary
dramatically. At the lower sea levels early residents may have occupied lands that are
presently submerged, leaving valuable archaeological evidence on the sea floor.
Additionally, the region may contain shipwrecks of historic importance.

Economy
Commercial fishing has long been the primary economic activity of Kodiak. Based on
the 2011 Department of Labor study, total estimated fishing workforce was 3,360 (789
active permit holders, 2571 estimated crew) who contributed Kodiak's fish harvesting
sector in 2010. Total gross earning was $118 million for fish harvesting. The shore -
based seafood processing industry employed approximately 1,598 people and has a
combined payroll of over $68 million in 2010. Salmon, ground fish, crab, halibut, and
herring are all important to the economy. Salmon has traditionally been the mainstay of
Kodiak's fishing fleet, with 61% of the Kodiak limited entry salmon permits owned by
local residents (11% of these reside in the outlying villages of Old Harbor, Ouzinkie,
Port Lions, Larsen Bay, and Akhiok). From 1977 to 1985, salmon ranked first among
the major fisheries in both average value and weight landed.
The harvesting sector of the Kodiak commercial fisheries industry was extensively
transformed between 1975 and 1984. The value of the Kodiak fisheries increased from
1975 to 1981 as a result of crab prices but declined as stocks fell. Fisherman responded
by diversifying into tanner crab, halibut, sablefish, and ground fish. Ground fish are
becoming one of Kodiak's most valuable fisheries; therefore firms have diversified by
producing quality ground fish products. In 2010, ground fish accounted for 44% of the
total ex- vessel value while salmon was 22 %.
Commercial fishing provides revenue to the Kodiak Island Borough through a severance
tax. The fish tax revenues collected during the borough's fiscal years 2011, 2010 and
2009 were $828,039, $1,336,075 and $1,369,087, respectively.

Wind Power Generation: The Kodiak Electric Association, Inc. (KEA) has installed a
wind power generation plant, of 4.5 Megawatts, on Pillar Mountain. The cost of the
project is $21.5 million dollars and KEA secured a $12 million dollar tax - exempt bond.
The project has also received $4 million dollars in state grants. 2011 fuel savings is
nearly 900,000 gallons of diesel fuel, at $3.50 would amount to over $3 million dollars
(or $3,067,334). The ecological impact would amount to a reduction of 155 tons of NOx
and 8,945 tons of Green House Gases (GHG). In 2011, KEA's renewable power
energy generation portfolio of wind power from Pillar Mountain and water from Terror
Lake combined to produce 84.3% of Kodiak's power. By September 2012, three new
wind turbines on Pillar Mountain will be installed west of the existing three turbines.

Planning and Economic Development Activities
The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce has been contracted by the City of Kodiak and The
Kodiak Island Borough to undertake specific economic development activities on an
island -wide basis. These activities include: organizing an economic development
committee, providing a full -time staff member for the committee, preparation of the
area's Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and the
implementation of the action plans and development strategies described therein.
Copies of these contracts are included in the Appendix.
EVALUATION
The CEDS Committee has identified several assets and liabilities of the area as they
pertain to economic development. These are described below as they apply to specific
areas of potential economic development:
Fisheries
Assets and Opportunities. Kodiak's strong seafood processing labor force has been
identified as one of its biggest assets. Due to the high levels of unemployment in the
seafood processing industry during off - season periods, value- added, or secondary,
processing of seafood products presents one of Kodiak's biggest opportunities in
economic development. Currently, a significant amount of the fish product exported
from Kodiak is minimally processed (usually only headed and gutted). Additional value -
added seafood processing in Kodiak would provide employment for the existing labor
force during otherwise slow periods when large numbers of workers are typically laid off.
The implementation of the Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQ's), changed the halibut and
black cod fisheries from "derby- style" fisheries in which large volumes of fish are
delivered to the shore -based processing plants in very short time periods, to more
evenly paced fisheries in which fish product deliveries are spread out over time, giving
processing plants more time to add value to the product through secondary processing.
Proposed rationalization of the fishing industry in the Gulf of Alaska would ensure
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 44
coastal communities a steady stream of "fresh" fish over an extended period of time.
Small boat fishers would not be disadvantaged due to inclement weather and by -catch
would be reduced. Getting fish out in the "fresh" form, rather than fast frozen adds
value to the product and may encourage the development of more "custom- processing"
facilities.
Several opportunities also exist for economic development in the seafood processing
industry by achieving total utilization of fish products, so that every part of the fish is
used with nothing discarded. Fish oil extraction and fishmeal production, from
previously discarded fish parts are only two examples of this. In addition to increased
profits and employment, the opportunity to minimize regulatory constraints on the shore -
based processing industry will develop as the volume of discharge is reduced.
Similarly, achieving total utilization of by -catch species, currently being thrown
overboard, presents another opportunity for economic development.
Harvesting and processing under - utilized species, such as the arrow tooth flounder (one
of the most abundant ground fish species available in the waters harvested by Kodiak's
fishing fleet) presents additional opportunities for economic growth and job creation in
Kodiak.
Kodiak Island is situated in the middle of one of the world's richest fishing grounds.
Additionally, there are approximately 800 streams within the Kodiak Management Area
(KMA) in which salmon migration or spawning has been documented. Supplemental
production of salmon includes two hatcheries located in the KMA. Both hatcheries, Kitoi
Bay and Pillar Creek, are operated by the Kodiak Regional Aquaculture Association
(KRAA). The combined incubation of these two hatcheries is 263,000,000 eggs. The
fish harvesting /production potential for Kodiak is therefore excellent.
Another asset identified by the economic development committee is the Kodiak State
Airport. The airport is centrally located in Southwest Alaska and has year -round access
to an ice -free port. The Kodiak State Airport has the opportunity to become a trans-
shipment point for fresh fish products. As Kodiak State Airport evolves into a regional
hub for the Southwest portion of the state, the opportunity for a reduction in shipping
and freight rates can be realized. This will serve to benefit all sectors of the economy.
Finally, several opportunities resulting from increased research into fisheries sciences
can be realized, such as greater support for the seafood processing sector, increased
levels of processing, and subsequently, increased employment in the industry.
Increased research into the fisheries encourages greater investment by fisheries - related
businesses. This entices more scientists and researchers to use facilities available in
Kodiak, like the Fishery Industrial Technology Center and the Kodiak Fisheries
Research Facility, as a base for study. Kodiak has become a national fisheries
"research hub" with research being conducted in shellfish, ground fish, sustainable
fisheries, domestic observer program, marine mammals, fisheries management, sport
fishing, and wildlife conservation.
Liabilities and Constraints. Several liabilities will have to be overcome for value -
added seafood processing to develop to its full potential in Kodiak. First, the traditional
distribution patterns of headed and gutted fish product to Puget Sound and Japan will
be hard to break. Secondly, a lack of a cold storage facility means there is no place to
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 45
store fish products until there is time to add value to them. One of the biggest obstacles
to having a cold storage facility is the cost of electricity, which is approximately three
times the cost of power in Seattle. A feasibility study on the use of waste heat to
generate electricity in a standalone cold storage facility was recently conducted. The
recommendation of the study was a centralized storage facility is not feasible, given the
facility would not be utilized by the fish processing plants as most have their own cold
storage facilities. However, there is a clear need for lower cost refrigeration and
information on new electrical generation technologies has been made available to the
fish processors. Another liability is the high shipping cost to import processing materials
(packaging, breading, etc.), and to export finished seafood products.
Open access to the halibut and black cod fisheries ended in 1995 with the
implementation of the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) system of management. Quotas —
shares of catch —are issued only to those who owned or leased vessels that fished for
halibut between 1988 and 1990. Implementation of the IFQ system in the Gulf of Alaska
has resulted in fleet consolidation. In 1995 at the start of the program, 4,829 fishermen
were issued halibut quota shares and 1,054 were issued sablefish shares. At the end of
2007, 3,002 halibut and 857 sablefish quota share owners remained, condensing
ownership in the combined fishery by 34 percent. A similar program was instituted in
2005 for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island (BSAI) crab fisheries. In 2003 the BSAI
crab fishery had 252 boats registered for king crab, 22 for golden crab and 192 for snow
crab. By 2007 the BSAI fleet had downsized to just 74 boats for red king, 5 for golden
king and 76 for snow crab. Fewer boats means less crewmen positions available for
local residents.*
Visitor Industry
Assets and Opportunities. A "visitor" is typically perceived as a pleasure seeker, but
for economic development purposes a "visitor" is defined as "a person who comes to
spend time with or stay with others or in a place....for business, for social pleasure, for
sightseeing, etc." One of the Kodiak visitor industry's biggest assets is the large amount
of easily accessible public lands available for recreational use, such as hiking,
• sightseeing, fishing, and camping. In addition, Kodiak still offers visitors a uniqueness
of character that other Alaskan communities are losing as they evolve into a mass -
market destination. This has been identified as an opportunity for Kodiak to attract
visitors as other Alaskan destinations reach saturation. Another asset is the local
ownership of tourism - related businesses. Kodiak is also benefiting from the long -term
effects of increased media exposure on a national and international level. Film projects
such as National Geographic's "Island of the Giant Bears," Discovery Channel's
features on the US Coast Guard Search and Rescue teams and Kodiak's diverse fishing
industry, plus the Food Network's feature on "Cooking in Alaska" all serve to generate
interest in Kodiak Island. The Hollywood adventure film "The Guardian" featured the
United States Coast Guard Base stationed in Kodiak. Travel writers have featured
Kodiak in many national and international publications. As eco- travel and soft
adventure travel become increasingly popular, Kodiak is becoming a sought after travel
destination. Infrastructure development to increase the meeting and convention
capacity will create additional markets to be tapped. The opening of the Kodiak
National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in the downtown museum district in 2007 is
expected to add visitor traffic to the downtown area. While the visitor industry in Kodiak
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 46
has great potential for long term growth, it is viewed as the "weak sister" in the local
economy.
Liabilities and Constraints. From a revenue - producing standpoint, visitor
consumption of scenic beauty may not always generate quantifiable income, although
expenditures to view this beauty may be considerable. Kodiak's share of the state's
visitor market is relatively low, and historic patterns of growth have not kept pace with
statewide rates. Because of the high level of local ownership of tourism - related
businesses, these businesses tend to be undercapitalized while Kodiak's destination
marketing program remains under - funded. Kodiak is also hindered by a lack of
sufficient tourism - related infrastructure necessary to handle a large influx of visitors,
such as dedicated docking for cruise ships and charter boats, motor coaches, banquet
facilities, public restrooms, etc. Small gains are being made to update or alleviate these
problems, for example improvements to Pier II now allow small and large cruise ship to
dock and several motor coaches are now on island. The lack of facilities to
accommodate groups greater than 150 persons has deterred the attraction of large
meetings and conventions to the community. However, it's this lack of mass - market
appeal that is one of Kodiak's strengths in the adventure /eco- travel market. Tourism
related businesses are beginning to explore this market in depth. Finally, being a non -
road- connected island, Kodiak is more difficult and costly to reach than other visitor
destinations within the state. There is the perception by travelers that Kodiak is difficult
to access because of poor weather conditions. In fact, 95% of scheduled commercial
operations are completed annually. However, the lack of runway lights, navigation aids
and poorly configured runways does create difficulties accessing the outlying
communities in marginal weather.
Kodiak Island Communities Economic Development
Assets and Opportunities. The off-road communities are located in close proximity to
fish resources, particularly salmon, giving them ample access to fresh product.
Likewise, being remote, the communities are also very close to the natural resources
that attract many of the island's tourists, providing an opportunity to share in the island's
visitor industry. Archaeological sites located near the communities also present the
opportunity for "ancestral heritage tourism ". One example is the "Dig Afognak"
program— visitors live in a working archaeological field camp located on Afognak Island
and assist in artifact digs with a professional archaeological team. Opportunities also
exist for the communities to benefit from small -scale cottage industry-level production of
Native crafts or other goods.
Liabilities and Constraints. Most of the off -road communities have aging
infrastructure. Limited access to certain resources, for example, water for seafood
processing, hinder economic development as well. Another obstacle to growth is the
limited amount of human resources and job skills available in these communities. Poor
weather conditions often reduce the ability of the communities to communicate with
other communities and impose heavy restrictions on air and sea transportation linkages
to the communities, none of which are road - connected to any other island community.
With the exception of Port Lions, which is on the same power grid as the City of Kodiak,
power costs are relatively very high in all of Kodiak's outlying communities. Land use
issues between the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and the communities also exist that
could impede economic growth. Similarly, prehistoric archaeological sites located near
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 47
the communities, a potential asset for tourism, may be a potential liability to economic
development projects involving construction or other activities /uses inconsistent with the
ancestral heritage and /or archaeological value of the site.
Overall Economic Growth and Expansion
A significant constraint, not limited to any one category of economic development within
the Kodiak Island Borough, is the issue of high land values. Prices for privately owned
land within the borough are relatively high due to topographical constraints and the
availability of utilities. The Kodiak Island Borough has 4,800,000 acres within its
boundaries. In 2001, federally held and was 3,400,000 acres, Native Corporations;
675,000 acres, State; 639,000 acres, local government; 70,000 acres, and private land;
16,000 acres. Development costs, due to the remoteness of the island, limit
opportunities for the development of new industries and the expansion of existing ones.
Protection of Cultural Properties
There are many activities associated with economic development that have the potential
to impact Kodiak's archaeological sites. The ground disturbance associated with the
construction of new facilities - buildings, docks, roads, etc. has the potential to
irreparably harm buried deposits. Similarly, the expansion of human access to remote
areas may increase site vandalism, or promote site erosion through the development of
trails, camps, boat launches, etc. As such, the effects of any development activity on
local sites must be carefully considered and, where possible mitigated, to preserve
Kodiak's cultural resources and the irreplaceable information they contain.
Usually, the protection of cultural properties is the responsibility of the landowners.
Under Alaska law, archaeological sites are considered part of surface estate, and
therefore belong to the owner of the land on which they occur. On public lands (e.g.
Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, US Coast Guard Reservation, Alaska State Parks)
sites are protected by state and federal laws, most notably Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and its implementing regulations (36 CFR part 800).
Under this law, any development project with the potential to disturb an archaeological
deposit (known or unknown) must follow a well defined program of consultation with
archaeologists and /or historians to avoid and /or mitigate negative impacts to significant
cultural properties. This law is extended to projects on private lands when they involve
federal or state dollars (e.g. grants, legislative appropriation) or federal or state permits
(e.g. an Army Core of Engineers wetlands permit). When correctly implemented, this
process preserves cultural resources without impeding development. As such,
archaeological consultation should be part of the early stages of planning and budgeting
for any economic development that will involve ground disturbing activities or has the
possibility of promoting site disturbance.
As the majority of Kodiak's cultural properties also reflect the heritage of the Alutiiq
people, consultation with the Native community over the treatment of heritage sites is
also imperative. Such consultation ensures that the community whose history the sites
reflect are centrally involved in decisions regarding their care. Consultation should be
the goal of every development project with the potential to impact cultural properties
reflecting Native heritage. This consultation is required by the Native American Graves
Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) - a federal law - whenever human remains
Kodiak Island Region
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy
Page 48
are present, regardless of land ownership. As many of Kodiak's prehistoric sites contain
human remains, such consultation is both respectful and appropriate at the outset of
any development project involving ground- disturbing activities. Establishing an
agreement for the proper course of action should human remains be discovered saves
time and money in the long run, and creates an atmosphere of mutual respect. The
Alutiiq Museum and Archaeological Repository, a non - profit cultural organization
governed by representatives of Kodiak's eight Alutiiq corporations, is an appropriate
place to begin consultation. The museum maintains a staff of professional
archaeologists familiar with the consultation process and the laws that govern the
treatment of both archaeological sites and the remains of Native people.

Performance Evaluation
Performance evaluation is an important component of the economic development
process. Most simply, it gauges the organization's effectiveness in meeting its goals.
To be effective, performance evaluation should be conducted on an ongoing basis and
the results used to adjust or redirect organizational efforts.
This Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) identifies four primary
goals that give overall direction to the economic development efforts of the Kodiak
CEDS Committee. Under each goal are a number of objectives that articulate specific
types of activity that support CEDS goals. Finally, the CEDS identifies a menu of
strategies that may be employed to achieve each objective. The annual work plan of
the Kodiak CEDS Committee will identify the specific activities to be undertaken and the
performance measures by which their success will be evaluated.
The Kodiak CEDS Committee will prepare its annual report and performance evaluation
consistent with the requirements of EDA. Annual reports will include reporting and
quantifying its progress towards achieving CEDS goals and will consider the following
values:
4 The extent to which the Annual Work Plan is consistent with identified CEDS goals.
4 The extent to which the Annual Work Plan is consistent with CEDS objectives.
4 The extent to which the organization is meeting the performance measures specified
in the Annual Work Plan.
