Campbell Lake shoreline stabilization, boat-ramp restoration, and floating-dock replacement

Alaska regulators are reviewing environmental permits for a private shoreline and dock rehabilitation project at Campbell Lake in Anchorage; this is a public-notice and permitting matter, not a contractor solicitation or contract award. - Government agencies and parties - Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), reviewing the Clean Water Act Section 401 water-quality certification request. - U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Alaska District, Regulatory Division, South Section; the referenced permit is POA-2026-00395. - Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), Habitat Section, Southcentral Regional Office; the referenced fish habitat permit is FH26-II-0120. - Mary Gates is identified as the applicant/property owner in the certification and permit documents. One project plan also names Eriksson as the property owner. - The Municipality of Anchorage is identified as a permitting authority. - Project scope and materials - Stabilize about 62 linear feet of shoreline using clean, fractured armor boulders; project documents describe roughly 15–20 cubic yards of boulders, with some documents specifying 2.5–3.5-foot or 2–3-foot stones. - Remove loose organic muck or eroded material and haul it off site; reported excavation quantities vary between approximately 10 and 15 cubic yards. - Restore the existing 10-foot private boat ramp with clean, washed, angular crushed rock; one document specifies 1.5 cubic yards. - Replace the floating dock with one U-shaped dock, described as approximately 888 square feet and 36 feet wide, with a floatplane slip. Specifications include marine-grade aluminum framing, encapsulated HDPE floats with EPS cores, composite decking with 1/2-inch gaps, and a hinged shore-access ramp. - Replace or, if needed, install up to six 4.5-inch steel spud/guide piles. - Notable environmental and design requirements - Use a full-depth turbidity curtain, inspect for fish in the isolated work area, and relocate fish non-invasively or coordinate with ADF&G before substrate disturbance. Some documents also call for water-clarity monitoring. - Work is planned from the upland bank and, for dock/pile work, from frozen lake ice; fish-protection, ice-safety, and seasonal in-water work restrictions apply. - The certification and permit descriptions state that no geotextile fabric is to be used, although one execution-plan document specifies geotextile filter fabric. This is a conflicting project-plan detail. - Compensatory mitigation is not proposed. No OEMs, product brands, suppliers, or commercial vendors are identified.
