VALDEZ HARBOR, AK FEASIBILITY
• Location: Valdez is on the north shore of Port Valdez, a deep water fjord in Prince William Sound. It is 305 road miles east of Anchorage, and 364 road miles south of Fairbanks. It is the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
• Project Description: The feasibility study will investigate the problems, needs, and opportunities for navigation improvement in the Valdez small boat harbor. The demand for moorage space in the harbor far exceeds the existing design capacity of approximately 510 boats and the construction of an additional harbor is desired by local interests.
