Type:
Funding Source:
Category:
Sub Category:
Estimated Cost: $2,889,879
Description: Reconfigure seaplane float to eliminate excess area and rehabilitate remaining facility with new single float.
Priority: Short
Need Origination: Other
Justification: The existing float at Metlakatla is oversized for the traffic it receives and is subject to damage from high winds and seas, particularly because it consists of three large floats joined together. This project will reduce the facility to one new, smaller float, eliminate the "wing" floats that are no longer needed, and rehabilitate the remainder of the existing facility to improve resiliency and sustainability.
