DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Highway Administration
Environmental Impact Statement: Kake
Access, AK
ACTION:
Notice of intent.
The Western Federal Lands
Highway Division of the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) is
issuing this notice to advise the public
that FHWA will prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for a proposed transportation project to
improve access to and from the
community of Kake in Southeast Alaska.
Public Involvement: Opportunities for
public involvement will be provided
during the scoping process, public
meetings, and a public hearing. Letters
describing the proposed action and
soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, Tribal governments, and to
private organizations and citizens who
have previously expressed or are known
to have interest in this project. To
ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action is
addressed and all significant issues are
identified, comments and suggestions
are invited from all interested parties.
Public Scoping Meetings will be held
in the early Spring of 2013 to receive
oral and written comments on
environmental concerns that should be
addressed in the EIS. The public
scoping meetings will be held at dates,
times, and locations to be published in
general circulation newspapers in the
project area.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michael Traffalis at FHWA, 610 East 5th
Street, Vancouver, WA 98661; KakeAccessEIS@dot.gov or 360–619–7787. A
project-specific Web site will also be
developed, which will also accept
public comments, please go to
www.wfl.fhwa.dot.gov/projects/ak/kake/
for further updates.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
FHWA, in cooperation with ADOT&PF,
will prepare an EIS on a proposal to
address the need for an improved
transportation system for access to and

from the community of Kake in
Southeast Alaska. In its 2004 Southeast
Alaska Transportation Plan (and 2011
SATP Scoping Report and updates as
posted at https://dot.alaska.gov/sereg/
projects/satp/index.shtml, ADOT&PF
identified the need to improve the
transportation system between
Southeast Communities, including the
need to provide local access for the
community of Kake to a major
transportation and commercial hub.
This EIS will be coordinated with the
Kake to Petersburg Transmission Intertie
EIS, which is also in progress. The
Western Federal Lands Highway
Division of FHWA will be the lead
federal agency for the Kake Access EIS.
Currently, Kake is accessible by
mainline ferry twice a week and by
scheduled air taxi service to Juneau and
Sitka and chartered aircraft to
Petersburg. Preliminary alternatives
were identified during the
transportation planning phase, and will
be evaluated during development of the
EIS. These alternatives include:
(1) The Northern Corridor alternative,
which begins in Kake and reconstructs
segments of logging roads and
constructs new road segments to extend
a roadway that terminates in the City of
Kupreanof across Wrangell Narrows
from downtown Petersburg;
(2) The Intertie corridor alternative,
which connects Kake with Petersburg by
following one of the alternatives being
considered in the Transmission Intertie
EIS;
(3) The Southern Corridor alternative
to Kah Sheets Bay, which follows
existing mainline logging roads south
from Kake before diverging along a new
alignment to Kah Sheets Bay where
ferry service would provide access to
Mitkof Island and Petersburg, Prince of
Wales Island and Ketchikan, or
Wrangell;
(4) The Southern Corridor alternative
to Totem Bay, which includes
upgrading existing mainline logging
roads and construction of new roadway
south from Kake to Totem Bay where
ferry service would provide access to
Mitkof Island and Petersburg, Prince of
Wales Island and Ketchikan, or
Wrangell; and (5) the Kake Ferry Service
Improvement alternative would improve
direct ferry service between Kake and
Juneau, Sitka, or Petersburg using
existing Alaska Marine Highway Service
ferries and ferry terminals or by adding
a new ferry to better serve the
community.
The EIS also will evaluate the No
Action alternative.
