A. AREA SURVEYED This hydrographic survey was completed as specified by Hydrographic Survey Letter Instructions OPR-O112-RA-04, dated March 31, 2004, Draft Standing Project Instructions dated March 23, 2004, and NOS Hydrographic Specifications and Deliverables dated March 2003. The survey area is Olga Strait and Nakwasina Passage, Alaska. This survey corresponds to sheet “K” in the sheet layout provided with the Letter Instructions. One hundred percent shallow-water multibeam (SWMB) coverage was obtained in the survey area in waters 8 meters and deeper. In 4-8 meters of water 100% SWMB coverage was obtained as much as possible and to acquire least depths over significant features or shoals, as appropriate for this survey. Vertical-beam echo sounder (VBES) data were acquired in depths from 4 to 20 meters to define the four-meter curve and to aid in the planning of SWMB data acquisition. 1 Data acquisition was conducted from April 24 to May 27, 2004 (DN 115 to 148).

B. DATA ACQUISTION AND PROCESSING A complete description of data acquisition and processing systems, survey vessels, quality control procedures and data processing methods can be found in the OPR-O112-RA-04 Data Acquisition and Processing Report (DAPR), submitted under separate cover.2 Items specific to this survey, and any deviations from the aforementioned report are discussed in the following sections. B1. Equipment and Vessels Data were acquired by the RAINIER survey launches RA1 (1101), RA2 (1103), RA4 (1016), RA5 (1006) and RA7 (817 Ross 950). Vessels RA2 (1103), RA4 (1016), & RA5 (1006) were used to acquire shallow-water multibeam (SWMB) soundings and sound velocity profiles. Vessels RA1 (1101), RA2 (1103) and RA7 (817 Ross 950) were used to acquire vertical-beam echo soundings (VBES) and detached positions (DPs) for shoreline verification. Vessel RA5 (1006) was also used for ATON non-echosounder DPs and bottom sample collection. No unusual vessel configurations were used for data acquisition. 3 B2. Quality Control Crosslines Vertical Beam Echo Sounder (VBES) crosslines including buffer lines totaled 41.82 nautical miles, comprising 79.36% of mainscheme hydrography. Crosslines generally agreed within 1 meter of mainscheme hydrography. 4

Shallow-Water Multibeam (SWMB) crosslines totaled 13.07 nautical miles, comprising 7.24% of SWMB hydrography. The mainscheme bathymetry was manually compared to the XL nadir beams in CARIS subset mode and agreed well with no significant differences noted.5

A statistical Quality Control Report has been conducted on representative data collected with each system used on this survey and is included in the OPR-O112-RA-04 DAPR. Through manual examination of the data and statistical analysis of data accuracy, standards for this survey have been met. Junctions 6

H11118 1:10,000 2004 Southwest Surveys H11112, H11113, H11114 and H11118 junction well with this survey, a cursory comparison indicates differences generally less than one fathom. Surveys H11116 and H11117 junction well with this survey, a cursory comparison indicates differences generally within one fathom. Final comparisons will be made at the Pacific Hydrographic Branch (PHB) after the application of smooth tides. 7

Data Quality Factors During collection of VBES on 26-April-2004 (DN 117), vessel RA2 (1103) in Nakwasina Passage on the north end of the sheet we had periodic DGPS outages, possibly due to poor satellite coverage in the confined space of Nakwasina Passage between high mountain ranges. Several lines were deleted during post processing. On two separate occasions during SWMB data collection, minor depth discrepancies (0.20m) were observed in RA5 SWMB data between adjacent, parallel lines run in opposite directions. This is visible in data near the western entrance to Nakwasina Passage and in Olga Strait on top of the shoals marked by fixed aid, LLN 25075. No specific reason was found for the discrepancy, but the error points to a possible problem with vessel configuration. Extra lines were run in Olga Strait, all going in the same direction. Lines at the west entrance to Nakwasina Passage were deemed sufficient despite the error between adjacent lines. The following screen shot taken from CARIS during subsetting illustrates the problem. 8

B3. Data Reduction Data reduction procedures for survey H11115 conform to those detailed in the OPR-O112-RA-04 DAPR. C. VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL CONTROL A summary of horizontal and vertical control for this survey follows. Horizontal Control The horizontal datum for this project is the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Differential GPS (DGPS) was the sole method of positioning. Differential corrections from U.S. Coast Guard beacon at Gustavus (288 kHz) were utilized during this survey. Launch-to-launch DGPS performance checks using U.S. Coast Guard beacon at Annette Island (323 kHz) as the check station were performed in accordance with Section 3.2 of the FPM. Copies of the performance checks are included in the OPR-O112-RA-04 DAPR. Vertical Control The vertical datum for this project is Mean Lower-Low Water (MLLW). The operating National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) primary tide station at Sitka, AK (945-1600) served as control for datum determination and as the primary source for water level reducers for survey H11115. No secondary gauges were required. All data were reduced to MLLW using unverified observed tides from station Sitka, AK using the tide file 9451600.tid and time and height correctors using the zone corrector file O112RA2004CORP.zdf. The Pacific Hydrographic Branch will apply final approved (smooth) tides to the survey data during final processing.9 A request for delivery of final approved (smooth) tides for survey H11115 was forwarded to N/OPS1 on June 03, 2004. A copy of the request is included in Appendix IV. 10

D. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS D.1 Automated Wreck and Obstruction Information System (AWOIS) Investigations A total of two (2) AWOIS items were located within the limits of H11115 and investigated during this survey. Investigation methods, results, and charting recommendations have been entered into Pydro and are submitted with the digital data. A Printout of the AWOIS Report, H11115_AWOIS_Report.pdf is included in this report. 11

D.2 Chart Comparison Survey H11115 was compared with the following charts: 17320 (16th Ed., December 20, 2003, 1:217,828, corrected through NTM 39/03)12

17324 (13th Ed., March 25, 1989, 1:40,000, corrected through NTM 05/04).13

Chart 17320 Depths from survey H11115 were generally in agreement within one fathom. Chart 17324 In general, depths from survey H11115 were in agreement with charted soundings within one fathom. Shoal soundings within 3 fathoms were found in the channel between the southern tip of Eastern Point and the most northerly of the Siginaka Islands, in the entrance to the bay west of Eastern Point, and in the channel approaching Limit Island from the west. On the west edge of survey H11115, charted soundings are accurate, but in many cases shoaler soundings were found. This can be attributed to increased bottom coverage using SWMB methods. 14

Data accuracy standards and bottom coverage requirements have been met and survey data are adequate to supersede charted data in their common areas, with the exceptions listed in this report.15

D.3 Shoreline Shoreline Source Vector photogrammetric projects AK9703A and AK02A were supplied by N/NGS3 in the form of cartographic feature files (CFF). RAINIER conducted limited shoreline verification of the CFF. In the absence of CFF MHW or CFF MLLW, RAINIER personnel digitized the largest scale charts in MapInfo and displayed in HYPACK for field verification. In addition, features shown on the current editions of charts 17324 and 17320 that were not depicted on the shoreline source document were digitized in MapInfo by RAINIER personnel and displayed in Hypack for field verification. Shoreline Verification Limited shoreline verification was conducted near predicted low water in accordance with the Standing Project Instructions and FPM sections 6.1 and 6.2. Detached positions (DPs) taken during shoreline verification were recorded in HYPACK and on DP forms, and processed in Pydro. These indicate revisions to features and features not found on the verified shoreline. In addition, annotations describing shoreline were recorded on hard copy plots of digital shoreline. DP forms are included in Section I of the Separates to be Included with Survey Data.

Charted Features 29

Charted (17320) rock at position 57°14'27.73" N, 135°31'39.03" W (468162.71 , 6344340.58) is CFF reef at position 57°14'43.36" N, 135°31'07.35" W (468709.17 , 6344814.3).30 50% SWMB coverage of charted rock area. VBES buffer line is seaward most extent of CFF reef. This can be attributed to the scale of the chart, which appears to have been positioned the rock offshore. 31

Recommendations The Hydrographer recommends that the shoreline as depicted on the Detached Position and Bottom Sample and final sounding MapInfo digital file supersede and complement shoreline information compiled on the CFF and charts as noted. In addition, field notes made by the Hydrographer, including verification of source features or charted features if no source
