The Municipality of Skagway (MOS) is requesting proposals to conduct an assessment including recommendations for mitigation to protect the Port of Skagway from the rockslide adjacent to the Port of Skagway, above the Railroad Dock on Alaska State Land Survey (ASLS) 2007-36 according to Plat 2017-6.
ASLS 2007-36 is located east of the Railroad Dock in the Port of Skagway (Attachment A). An active rockslide area is located adjacent to the dock, originating on municipally owned land, and terminating on the land and dock owned by Pacific & Arctic Railway & Navigation Company (White Pass), legally described as Alaska Tidelands Survey (ATS) No. 4, Lot 1 according to Plat 64-8. Over time the area has seen large rockslides, necessitating development of a rock fall protection program conducted by contractors of the dock owner, White Pass, in 2018.
The origin point for the rockslide area appears to be located on a bench at the top of a steep slope above the Railroad Dock and port.
