Project Title: Native Village of Chenega Harbor Breakwater
Requestor: Native Village of Chenega
Address: 3000 C Street, Anchorage, Alaska 99503
Amount Requested: $2,824,730
Description: The Native Village of Chenega (NVC) seeks to construct a wave attenuation breakwater, designed to protect an estimated 2,000 feet of shoreline. Safeguarding Chenega's coastal shoreline and harbor is essential for the community's long-term viability, including, by supporting the commercial fishing fleet. The use of wave attenuators is effective at dramatically reducing waves' force and neutralizing surface energy. A wave attenuation system consists of a series of floats connected to the seabed which take the tops of waves as they enter the area. The wave attenuators are water-ballasted high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pontoons with 36 inches diameter foam-filled HDPE boom. The wave attenuators will be supported using pilings where the pontoons will be allowed to move up or down with tidal changes.
