Project Overview & Timeline: The neighborhood of View Drive, in Juneau, Alaska, has experienced significant flooding from annual glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) events. Following a technical and engineering analysis from the US Army Corps of Engineers, it was determined that temporary flood barriers (i.e. HESCO barriers) are not an effective solution for View Drive area due to soil stability, home elevations and other considerations. As such, the USACE is not authorized to provide temporary flood protection for this area. The CBJ had been actively pursuing other flood mitigation options for the View Drive residences, including the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Program. On 5/18/26 CBJ staff introducedOrdinance 2025-01(b)(AG) suggesting to appropriate funds to be used to complete the required preliminary work to complete a Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) View Drive Buyout Program. On 7/24/2026 CBJ and Southeast Appraisal Services executed a contract to begin the residential property appraisals for the sixteen (16) View Drive properties — the first required step of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Program. Excluding any unforeseen challenges the appraiser anticipates being able to provide the completed reports within thirteen (13) weeks of beginning the work. CBJ expects to begin the second step — the technical appraisal reviews — on a rolling basis as completed appraisals are received, starting as early as mid-to-late September 2026.
