DCC Comments on Proposal to Rehabilitate 7 Mile Pit on the Park Road

September 7, 2015September 7, 2015 Nancy

Our comments asked for clarifications and modifications regarding a plan to expand the existing gravel pit at 5 Mile along the Park Road and eventually close Mile 7 pit. The presence of wolves in a den near Mile 7 may complicate the rehabilitation project somewhat. In addition, we made suggestions regarding how to ensure that once rehabilitated this pit would be successfully re-designated wilderness.

The kick-off meeting for the Denali Area Airport study is taking place this Thursday, April 18, 5-7pm at the Aurora Denali Lodge in Healy. This study is a needs assessment for the Denali Borough that will also recommend infrastructure improvements. It is driven partly by the inadequacies of current airstrips in Healy and elsewhere, but partly by Doyon's interest in a regional airport that could land jets flying direct from the Lower 48.The press release for the meeting includes a Zoom link for joining remotely: aws.state.ak.us/OnlinePublicNotices/Notices/View.aspx?id=214636The project website is at: dot.alaska.gov/nreg/denaliairportstudy/ ...
