Property Highlights

This is a site of a former cannery. The Organized Village of Kake requested that EPA conduct a TBA. The Village is planning to renovate the old factory as a historic site/museum. The goal of the redevelopment is to provide a tourist attraction.

Former Use: The Keku Cannery, which was constructed between 1912 and 1940, and closed in 1977, is the third-oldest cannery in Alaska and the only cannery listed as a National Historic Landmark. The cannery once had four main warehouses on wood pilings over Keku Strait, although the majority of the canning activities occurred in the main cannery building which is the subject of a Phase I assessment. The larger cannery complex incorporates part of a salmon saltery from the early 1900s and is on the site of a traditional Tlingit summer camp. The current owner of the cannery is the Kake Tribal Corporation. The landowner and Organized Village of Kake (OVK) are concerned with the imminent failure of the cannery building and the environmental concerns that may result if the building and contents are discharged into the water, tidelands, or nearby uplands. The near-shore area is rich in fish, shellfish, seaweed, and other marine life that are important resources to the local subsistence culture. In the event of a cannery building collapse, these resources could be exposed to a variety of physical and chemical hazards. The OVK would like to reuse the building.
