5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the fall of 2003, HDR Alaska, Inc. contracted with the McDowell Group to conduct a survey of Gastineau Channel waterway users for the Juneau Second Channel Crossing Project, which is being conducted for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. Three telephone surveys were conducted: one of stall renters (202), one of commercial gillnetters (38), and one of commercial trollers (26). The surveys determine waterway users frequency of travel through the Mendenhall Bar and their preferences for access, as well as their vessel specifications. Following are key findings from the survey. About two-thirds of respondents in all three user groups report transiting the Mendenhall Bar at least once in the past 12 months. Waterway users report an average number of between 3 and 4 trips across the Mendenhall bar in the past year. Number of Times Crossing Mendenhall Bar in Past 12 Months User Group Crossed Bar Stall renters 66% 3.3 times 2.0 times Commercial gillnetters 68% 3.4 times 3.0 times Commercial trollers 65% 3.7 times 2.0 times Most waterway users predict relatively low levels of impacts resulting from temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar. Just under two-thirds (63%) of stall renters predict no impact at all. Only 7 percent predict severe impact. Commercial gillnetters anticipate slightly higher impacts than other user groups, with 18 percent predicting an impact level of 3, compared to 7 percent of stall renters and 4 percent of commercial trollers.

6 INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY As part of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities Juneau Second Channel Crossing project, McDowell Group was retained as a subconsultant to HDR Alaska, Inc. to conduct surveys with Gastineau Channel waterway users. Critical to the project is an understanding of current Channel users, including frequency of waterway use, opinions regarding ease of waterway travel and navigational access, and vessel dimensions. A total of 266 randomly selected waterway users were surveyed by telephone in September Waterway users were divided into three categories: 1) stall renters, 2) commercial gillnetters, and 3) commercial trollers. Lists from various sources were used to select random samples. Specifically, Juneau stall renters were randomly selected from the City and Borough of Juneau Harbormaster s list of permanent stall renters. (Stall renters using private marinas were not part of the sample.) Juneau, Haines, and Skagway gillnetters were randomly selected from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Commercial Fisheries Entry Commissions (CFEC) S03A permit list. Juneau commercial trollers were also selected using the CFEC s list of S15B permitted fishermen. In total, 202 stall renters, 38 commercial gillnetters, and 26 commercial trollers were surveyed. In all three groups, survey content was limited to discussion of the geographic region known as the Mendenhall Bar, a nine-mile stretch of the Gastineau Channel between Salmon Creek and the Mendenhall Peninsula/Fritz Cove Area. Stall renters, commercial gillnetters, and commercial trollers were queried about their vessel dimensions, vessel purpose, frequency of travel across the Mendenhall Bar, importance of maintaining navigational access to the Mendenhall Bar, and recommendations for minimum vertical and horizontal Second Crossing clearances. The stall renters sample (202) has a maximum margin of error of ±7.1 percent at the 95 percent confidence level. For the commercial gillnetters sample (38), the margin of error increases to approximately ±15 percent. The commercial trollers sample (26) has a maximum margin of error of ±17 percent. This report presents the results of each survey in the following order: stall renters, commercial gillnetters, and commercial trollers. A copy of each survey instrument is provided at the end of the report. Juneau Second Channel Crossing - Waterway User Survey McDowell Group, Inc. Page 2
7 STALL RENTERS SURVEY FINDINGS What is the primary purpose for your boat? Three-quarters of Juneau stall renters say the primary purpose for their boat is recreation, pleasure, or sport fishing/hunting (75 percent). One-quarter of stall renters report their vessel is primarily used for commercial troll, gillnet, long-line, or other commercial fishing activities (26 percent). Only a small minority suggest their boat is used for charter activities (4 percent) or as their home (2 percent). Table 1.

Have you ever taken your boat across the Mendenhall Bar? If not, why not? Slightly less than two-thirds of Juneau stall renters (63 percent) have taken their boat across the Mendenhall Bar. The respondents who have never transited the Mendenhall Bar cited its shallowness as the number one reason (52 percent). A related response was the Mendenhall Bar is unsafe or dangerous (36 percent). One in five said they have no need to transit the Mendenhall Bar (19 percent). Table 2.

8 During the past 12 months, how many times did you cross the Mendenhall Bar? One-third of stall renters that have crossed the Bar in the past report zero trips transiting the Mendenhall Bar in the past 12 months, while another 29 percent made only 1 or 2 trips. One-fifth of stall renters (20 percent) report 6 or more crossings. The average number of times transiting the Mendenhall Bar in the past 12 months was 3.3. (The average for all stall renters, including those that have never crossed the bar, is 2.1 trips, with a median of 1.3.) Segmenting the data by boat length reveals that Mendenhall Bar travel frequency ranged from 2.1 trips in the past year for vessels 33 to 39 feet to approximately 4 trips for vessels 26 to 32 feet. All other vessel sizes fell within this range. Table 3. Mendenhall Bar Travel Frequency During Past Year 0 times 33 1 time 13 2 times 16 3 times 6 4 times 6 5 times 7 6 times times 2.0 times Expanding these results to the entire population of CBJ stall renters (about 775 total), suggests total traffic of between 1,000 (based on the median) and 1,600 (based on the average) Bar crossings during the past year. This traffic does not include local boaters with trailered boats, local boaters using transient moorage, boaters with stalls in private marinas, on non-resident boaters. How many times per year do you normally cross the Mendenhall Bar? When questioned about a typical year s usage of the Mendenhall Bar, respondents generally report heavier usage than they reported for the past year (see Table 3, above). Specifically, less than one in ten (8 percent) suggest no travel over the Mendenhall Bar in a typical year, compared to 33 percent for the last year. The average number of trips was 4.5, compared to 3.3 for the past year. Table 4.

9 In recent years, has your travel over the Mendenhall Bar increased, decreased, or remained the same? When questioned about the consistency of Mendenhall Bar travel in recent years, 15 percent stated their frequency has increased, while one-quarter (25 percent) said their travel has decreased. The majority (56 percent) said their Mendenhall Bar travel has remained the same. Table 5. Change in Mendenhall Bar Travel in Recent Years Increased 15 Decreased 25 Remained the same 56 Don t know 4 On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 as no impact and 5 as severe impact, what impact would temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar to boat traffic have on you? When questioned about the impact of temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar on personal waterway travel, a majority suggest that it would have no impact (63 percent). Only 11 percent said the impact level would be at 4 or 5. The mean response was 1.7 on the five-point scale. Table 6. Mendenhall Bar Temporary Closure Impact 1 (no impact) (severe impact) 7 Refused/don t know 1 How important is it for you to have unrestricted navigational access through the Mendenhall Bar? 1 When questioned regarding the importance of maintaining unrestricted navigational access to the Mendenhall Bar, respondents were split. One-half (50 percent) suggest maintaining access to the Mendenhall Bar has little or no importance, while a similar number (49 percent) suggest it is very important (21 percent) or somewhat important (28 percent). Table 7. Importance of Unrestricted Navigational Access to Mendenhall Bar Very important 21 Somewhat important 28 Little or no importance 50 Don t know 1 1 Before this question was asked, respondents were told, Construction of a second crossing might result in permanent restrictions on boats with high vertical clearance requirements.

10 If a second bridge is constructed across the Gastineau Channel, what would you recommend for minimum vertical and horizontal clearance? When asked for specific bridge clearance suggestions, responses fell across the spectrum. The mean response to minimum vertical clearance was 39 feet, with 12 percent in the 1-20 foot range and 12 percent in the over-50 foot range. The mean response to minimum horizontal clearance was 76 feet. The maximum recommended vertical clearance was 100 feet; the maximum recommended horizontal clearance was 400 feet. Over one-quarter of respondents didn t know or chose not to answer either question. Table 8.

11 What is the length, draft, and vertical clearance of your boat? The following table shows the dimensions of respondents vessels. dimensions were 33 feet for length, 4 feet for draft, and 22 feet for vertical clearance. The largest dimensions reported in the survey sample were 70 feet in length, 11 feet in draft, and 61 feet in vertical clearance. Table 9.

12 COMMERCIAL GILLNETTER SURVEY FINDINGS What is the primary purpose for your boat? All of the surveyed gillnetters report using their vessels primarily for commercial gillnet fishing. One-quarter (26 percent) also use their boats for long-line fishing. A small minority (5 percent) use their boat for troll fishing. Table 10. Vessel Primary Purpose Commercial gillnet fishing 100 Commercial long-line fishing 26 Commercial troll fishing 5 Other commercial fishing 3 Note: Multiple responses allowed. Have you ever taken your boat across the Mendenhall Bar? If not, why not? Two-thirds of commercial gillnetters (66 percent) have transited the Mendenhall Bar. A majority of gillnetters who have not transited the Mendenhall Bar say it is because there was no need to (62 percent). Nearly a third of non-users (31 percent) say it is too shallow, while another 23 percent say it is unsafe or dangerous. Table 11. Mendenhall Bar Travel Yes 66 No 34 No need 62 Too shallow 31 Unsafe/too dangerous 23 Other 15 Note: Multiple responses allowed. Juneau Second Channel Crossing - Waterway User Survey McDowell Group, Inc. Page 8
13 During the past 12 months, how many times did you cross the Mendenhall Bar? About one-third of commercial gillnetters (32 percent) report never having transited the Mendenhall Bar during the past year, while one-quarter (24 percent) have done so 6 or more times. The average number of times gillnetters have transited the Mendenhall Bar is 3.4 times in the past 12 months. Table 12.

When questioned about a typical year s usage of the Mendenhall Bar, gillnetters report more frequent rates than in the past year (see Table 12, above). Specifically, only 4 percent report zero trips over the Mendenhall Bar, compared to 32 percent for the past year. The average number of trips in a typical year was 4.6, compared to 3.4 for the past year. Table 13.

14 In recent years, has your travel over the Mendenhall Bar increased, decreased, or remained the same? Four out of ten gillnetters (40 percent) say their travel over the Mendenhall Bar has decreased in recent years, while only 4 percent say it has increased. Table 14. Change in Mendenhall Bar Travel in Recent Years Increased 4 Decreased 40 Remained the same 56 On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 as no impact and 5 as severe impact, what impact would temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar to boat traffic have on you? When questioned about the impact of temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar on personal waterway travel, most gillnetters (58 percent) said they would experience no impact. Only 3 percent rated the impact level at 4, while no respondents gave a 5 rating. The average response was 1.7 on the five-point scale. Table 15. Mendenhall Bar Temporary Closure Impact 1 (no impact) (severe impact) 0 How important is it for you to have unrestricted navigational access through the Mendenhall Bar? 2 When questioned regarding the importance of maintaining unrestricted navigational access to the Mendenhall Bar, the majority of gillnetters said it is either very important (42 percent) or somewhat important (32 percent.). One-quarter said it has little or no importance (26 percent). Table 16. Importance of Unrestricted Navigational Access to Mendenhall Bar Very important 42 Somewhat important 32 Little or no importance 26 2 Before this question was asked, respondents were told, Construction of a second crossing might result in permanent restrictions on boats with high vertical clearance requirements.

15 If a second bridge is constructed across the Gastineau Channel, what would you recommend for minimum vertical and horizontal clearance? Gillnetters gave a range of responses for suggested vertical and horizontal bridge clearance footage. The average height suggested for vertical clearance was 48 feet, while the average width suggested for horizontal clearance was 61 feet. The maximum recommended vertical clearance was 75 feet; the maximum recommended horizontal clearance was 100 feet. Nearly one-third of respondents either didn t know or chose not to answer either question. Table 17.

17 COMMERCIAL TROLLER SURVEY FINDINGS What is the primary purpose for your boat? Only seven out of ten commercial trollers (69 percent) report that the primary purpose of their troll vessel is commercial troll fishing. Trollers commonly use their troll vessel primarily for commercial long-line fishing (27 percent). Twelve percent use their troll boat primarily for recreation, pleasure, or sport hunting/fishing. Table 19. Vessel Primary Purpose Commercial troll fishing 69 Commercial long-line fishing 27 Recreation, pleasure, sport hunting/fishing 12 Commercial gillnet fishing 8 Other commercial fishing 4 Charter fishing 4 Note: Multiple responses allowed. Have you ever taken your boat across the Mendenhall Bar? If not, why not? Two-thirds of commercial trollers (65 percent) have transited the Mendenhall Bar. Those who have never done so most commonly give too shallow as the reason (67 percent), followed by unsafe or too dangerous (44 percent). One-fifth (22 percent) said they had no need to transit the Mendenhall Bar. Table 20. Mendenhall Bar Travel Yes 65 No 35 Too shallow 67 Unsafe/too dangerous 44 No need 22 Note: Multiple responses allowed. Juneau Second Channel Crossing - Waterway User Survey McDowell Group, Inc. Page 13
18 During the past 12 months, how many times did you cross the Mendenhall Bar? Over one-third of commercial trollers (35 percent) did not transit the Mendenhall Bar during the past year. About one-quarter (24 percent) report doing so 6 or more times. The average number of times trollers report transiting the Mendenhall Bar in the past 12 months is 3.7. Table 21. Mendenhall Bar Travel Frequency During Past Year 0 times 35 1 time 12 2 times 6 3 times 6 4 times 18 5 times 0 6 times times 2.0 times How many times per year do you normally cross the Mendenhall Bar? Similar to the two other user groups, trollers appear to have transited the Mendenhall Bar with less frequency than normal in the past year (see Table 21, above). Only 18 percent report zero trips across the bar in a typical year, compared to 35 percent for the last year. The average number of trips in a typical year is 5.6 times, compared to 3.7 times in the last year. Table 22.

19 In recent years, has your travel over the Mendenhall Bar increased, decreased, or remained the same? Equal numbers of trollers report their travel over the Mendenhall Bar has increased (29 percent) as have decreased (29 percent) in recent years. The remainder (41 percent) say their Mendenhall Bar travel has remained the same. Table 23. Change in Mendenhall Bar Travel in Recent Years Increased 29 Decreased 29 Remained the same 41 On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 as no impact and 5 as severe impact, what impact would temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar to boat traffic have on you? When questioned about the impact of temporary closure of the Mendenhall Bar on their activity, nearly three quarters of trollers (73 percent) say it would have no impact. Not one troller rated the impact level at 4 or 5. The average response was 1.3 on the five-point scale. Table 24. Mendenhall Bar Temporary Closure Impact 1 (no impact) (severe impact) 0 How important is it for you to have unrestricted navigational access through the Mendenhall Bar? 3 Over half of trollers say it is either very important (23 percent) or somewhat important (27 percent) to have unrestricted navigational access through the Mendenhall Bar, with nearly half (46 percent) saying it has little or no importance.
