5 1.0 COMMUNITY CHARACTERISTICS General information is drawn partially from the Alaska Department of Community and Economic Development s community information summaries. Community Overview Current Population: 383 (2008 DCCED Certified Pronunciation/Other Names: (kai-ann-uh) Incorporation Type: 2nd Class City Borough Located In: Northwest Arctic Borough Sales Taxes: 6% (Borough) Coastal Management District: Northwest Arctic Borough 1.1 Location and Climate Kiana is located on the north bank of the Kobuk River, 57 air miles east of Kotzebue. The community lies at approximately North Latitude and West Longitude. (Sec. 09, T018N, R008W, Kateel River Meridian.) Kiana is located in the Kotzebue Recording District. The area encompasses 0.2 sq. miles of land and 0.0 sq. miles of water. Kiana is located in the transitional climate zone. Temperatures average -10 to 15 F during winter and 40 to 60 F during summer. Temperature extremes have been recorded from -54 to 87 F. Snowfall averages 60 inches, with 16 inches of total precipitation per year. The Kobuk River is navigable from the end of May to early October. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

6 1.2 History Kiana means "a place where three rivers meet." It was established long ago as the central village of the Kobuk River Kowagmiut Inupiat Eskimos. In 1909, it became a supply center for the Squirrel River placer mines. A post office was established in The city government was incorporated in Prior to the formation of the Northwest Arctic Borough in 1976, the BIA high school taught students from Noatak, Shungnak, and Ambler, who boarded with local residents. 1.3 Culture This 1998 image was found on the State s DCCED website. The Native Village of Kiana is a federally-recognized tribe in the community. The population of the community consists of 92.8% Alaska Native or part Native. Kiana is a traditional Inupiat Eskimo village practicing a subsistence lifestyle. The sale or importation of alcohol is banned in the village. During the 2000 U.S. Census, total housing units numbered 133, and vacant housing units numbered 36. Vacant housing units used only seasonally numbered 3. U.S. Census data for Year 2000 showed 99 residents as employed. 1.4 Economy The economy depends on traditional subsistence activities, augmented by a cash economy. Chum salmon, freshwater fish, moose, caribou, waterfowl, and berries are harvested. The school, city, and Maniilaq Association provide the majority of year-round jobs. The Red Dog Mine also offers area employment. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

7 Kiana is one of the more modern villages in the borough and has three general stores. Three residents hold commercial fishing permits; seasonal employment also includes work on river barges, BLM fire-fighting, and jade mining. There is local interest in constructing a whitefish and turbot value-added processing plant. The city is also interested in developing eco-tourism, primarily guided river trips to the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes. The unemployment rate at that time was percent, although percent of all adults were not in the work force. The median household income was $39,688, per capita income was $11,534, and percent of residents were living below the poverty level. 1.5 Facilities, Utilities, Schools, and Health Care A 200,000-gallon steel tank is intermittently filled from two wells near the Kobuk River. Water is chlorinated prior to distribution through buried water mains. Piped water and sewer are provided to 73 homes, the clinic, school, and community hall. Kiana maintains a 6-inch buried gravity sewer system, which drains to a lift station and is pumped through a buried force main to the sewage treatment lagoon northeast of the village. 19 households haul water and use honeybuckets or septic tanks. The landfill is located west of the sewage disposal lagoon. Electricity is provided by AVEC. There is one school located in the community, attended by 110 students. Local hospitals or health clinics include Kiana Health Clinic ( ). Kiana is classified as an isolated village, it is found in EMS Region 4A in the Maniilaq Association Region. Emergency Services have river and air access. volunteers and a health aide Emergency service is provided by 1.6 Transportation The major means of transportation are plane, small boat, and snowmachine. The state-owned Bob Baker Memorial Airport has a 3,400' long by 100' wide lighted gravel runway. Daily scheduled flights and charter flights are provided. Crowley Marine Services barges fuel and supplies each summer, and local store owners have large boats to bring supplies upriver. Boats, ATVs, and snowmachines are used extensively for local travel, and there are many trucks. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

8 A road extends along the river to Kobuk Camp, and a network of old trading trails exists. 1.7 Soils and Topography Kiana lies on a gently sloping terrace about 100 feet above sea level that ends abruptly at an 80-foot-high bluff overlooking the northwest bank of the Kobuk River. Most of the older homes and community buildings are located in a shallow depression in the bluff, which provides good drainage and easy access to the river. The village is built on sandy silt that has an active layer overlying permafrost. Soils under the older homes partially thaw each summer to depths between four and seven feet, causing settlement problems. The thickness of seasonally-thawed ground is much less where tundra vegetation has not been disturbed. Because the soil is dry, there are few masses of ice in the permafrost, somewhat mitigating the impacts of depressing the active layer when tundra is disturbed. The village is built atop a bluff that is high enough and far enough back from the active floodplain to be generally safe from erosion or flooding. Sloughing, with resultant gullies, occurs in steep spots along the bluff but poses no danger to the community. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

9 2.0 REGULATION OF TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS 2.1 Regulation of Transportation Improvements Under state law, organized boroughs have authority for planning, platting, and land use regulation within their boundaries, or may delegate authority to incorporated communities. The Northwest Arctic Borough exercises its authority through the Borough Assembly and Planning and Zoning Commission. In Kiana, land use issues are coordinated through the City Council. A Planning and Zoning Commission has not been established. Land use requirements for specific road projects will vary depending on the project location. As applicable, road improvements are subject to federal and state regulations, borough regulations, village requirements, and private landowner approvals. 2.2 Comprehensive Planning The City of Kiana has not developed a comprehensive road development plan at the time the 1993 JATP was published. The City is included in the Northwest Arctic Borough Comprehensive Plan. Development in Kiana may be subject to provisions of the Northwest Arctic Borough Coastal Zone Management Plan. Future development and plans may impact the surface transportation needs of the community. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

10 3.0 EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM There are presently no roads which connect Kiana to any neighboring communities. The primary means of accessing the community is by air or water. The City is equipped with a 4,000 foot gravel runway which receives regularly scheduled weekly flights by several different carriers. Additionally, barge services transport freight to the community during the summer months. 3.1 Community Roadway System Community Roadway Mapping A Community Roadway Map for Kiana is presented as Figure 3-1. The baseline map was subject to review by the community as part of the questionnaire packet distributed for the 1993 Juneau Area Transportation Plan. The map schematically depicts approximately 7.2 miles of developed road in the community. A winter-only trail parallels the Kobuk river both upstream and downstream from Kiana. The drawing came from Figure 3-1 of the 1993 Juneau Area Transportation Plan (JTAP) and has not been altered Right of Way and Roadway Ownership The 172-acre townsite of Kiana has been surveyed and subdivided into individual lots and includes dedicated rights-of-way for roadways. Right-of-way widths vary from 20 to 50 feet and appear to generally contain the existing system. Numerous pedestrian and all-terrain vehicle trails cross private properties, reducing some travel distances. All roads within the city limits are owned by the City of Kiana Geometric Elements It was reported that the community roads are 30 to 40 feet wide. Roadways appear to be of "pioneer" construction and have not had the benefit of horizontal or vertical alignment design. 3.2 Existing Structural Characteristics Surfacing and Subbase Material The community reported that the roadways are constructed of 1 to 4 feet of fill. The fill is a composite of gravel and silt. The roads are experiencing rutting and subsidence problems especially in the Spring. Photographs of Kiana indicate that road construction typically consisted of direct placement of material upon natural ground. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

12 3.2.2 Drainage Culverts and ditches have been used along Kiana's roads to carry runoff during Spring breakup and minimize the erosional effects of surface runoff through the village during summer storms, although flooding and washouts are reported as problems Bridges There are no bridges in Kiana. 3.3 Trip Generators The major traffic generators in Kiana appear to be the airport, boat landing, commercial stores, schools, community building, recreation center, landfill, cemetery, medical facility, water supply, and sanitary facilities. The road north from town attracts a substantial volume of subsistence-related traffic. 3.4 Maintenance The community reported that the City of Kiana is responsible for local road maintenance. 3.5 Construction Material Sources The NANA Region Gravel Study (1984) indicated two active gravel sites and one potential gravel site on Native land near Kiana. The oldest active source is a small site located on a hilltop terrace near the town garbage dump, about a mile north of town. The pit is accessible by road. The study reports this pit to be almost empty as of 1984, and that the City of Kiana anticipates ultimate conversion of this site to a solid waste disposal area. A second developed site, called the Okok Point deposit, is located about four miles downriver (southwest of Kiana). The source consists of a mile and a half long gravel bar located on the northerly side of the river, just below Okok Point, and has a significant quantity of gravel. The site is accessible by river barge or winter haul, and was used in construction of the airport in Surface and subsurface rights are held by the Nana Regional Corporation. As a waterway and fish habitat, all excavation at Okok Point must be permitted by the Corps of Engineers. Also, the community reported that this site is not favored because of the damage caused by the excavation. A small gravel knob located one and one-quarter miles northeast of Kiana was investigated as a possible material source for the 1980 airport construction. Beneath the overburden, a 3-inch minus gravelly sand, primarily schist, was found. The material was found to be suitable as a structural fill, although not appropriate as a surface course.

13 The NANA Region Gravel Study indicated that as of 1984, the site remained undeveloped, probably because of a controversy involving ownership of the site. The site appears to be presently inaccessible. In January 2010, it was reported to the BIA that there had been a significant improvement in the situation. The landowner signified a willingness to negotiate, which could allow the development of a nearby, good gravel source. According to the Alaskan Regional Profiles: Northwest Region, Kiana is located at the confluences of two substantial belts of sand and gravel deposits corresponding to the Squirrel River and Kobuk River drainages. Future prospecting along these rivers will probably locate additional material sources. 3.6 Existing Inventoried Routes of the 1993 JATP Figure 4-1 of the 1993 Juneau Area Transportation Plan (JTAP) on the next page has not been altered. It shows, in bold lines, the official road inventory routes that generated funds for the BIA Tribal Shares program. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

15 3.7 IRR Inventory List The list of routes in the current IRR inventory for Kiana is presented in Appendix B. The Official routes in the IRR inventory database, known as RIFDS, generated almost one-half a million dollars in the 5 years of the Tribal Shares program. Year F3100 Funds F3600 Funds Subtotal 2005 $ 96, $ 2, $ 98, $ 109, $ 2, $ 111, $ 93, $ 1, $ 95, $ 83, $ 1, $ 84, $ 86, $ 1, $ 87, $ 477, Kiana s Tribal Shares funds have been dwindling in 2007 and 2008 to 76% of the highest value of 2006 due to dilution as other tribes added routes to the BIA road inventory database. The value of the 2010 Tribal Shares is expected to be less than the 2009 value. A consultant was hired to evaluate and add to the road inventory in Fiscal Year 2010 to reduce the anticipated loss for Tribal Shares History $120, $100, $98, $111, $95, $87, $80, $84, $60, $40, $20, $ Year Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana

16 4.0 TRANSPORTATION FACILITY NEEDS 4.1 Transit Program Activities In July 2005, the BIA announced a new funding source available to us that was called Tribal Shares. There were limitations as to how the Tribal Shares funding could be spent. According to 25 CFR , a maximum of $35,000 per year could be allocated to Project Planning. The Federal Highway bill, SAFETEA-LU, allowed that a limit of 25% of our Tribal Shares funding (excluding the 2% F3603 Planning portion) could go to Maintenance of routes in the IRR inventory. We intend to use these funds to help save our roads by repairing them instead of waiting for total failure and then hoping for enough funding a complete reconstruction project with our limited funds. We acknowledge that maintenance monies can only be spent on roads that are official in the IRR inventory. Transit is another concern to us. Depending upon the amount of funds, which varies from year to year, we will use funds for transit activities in the village. So, in addition to the routes that are requested to be added to this year s inventory submittal, depending upon the amount of funding, four of our top priorities are: 1) Allocate the maximum allowed of $35,000 per year for Planning, 2) Allocate the maximum allowed of 25% for Maintenance 3) Allocate, perhaps, some of the funds to Transit activities. We reserve the right to move funds between accounting codes with proper notice to the BIA for their budgeting software requirements. Our highest priority will be decided when we prepare to apply for the annual IRR High Priority Project funds and documented by resolution at that time. Routes, either as existing or proposed routes, that we request to be added to the IRR inventory this year, are presented in Appendix C. Long-Range Transportation Planning, Native Village of Kiana
