AMBLER ROAD SITE SPECIFIC PLAN |
Release of Public Review Draft and
Public Comment Period
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued the Public Review Draft (PRD) of the Ambler Road Site Specific Plan (SSP) for review and comment. 11 AAC 55.040(i) requires that land classification precede conveyance or leasing of state land, which is the purpose of this Site Specific Plan. Following the public review period, which may result in changes to the PRD, DNR intends to adopt the SSP. Once adopted, this plan will serve as the basis for the management of state lands and water within the planning area, which surrounds the proposed industrial road corridor. The planning area encompasses state owned and state- selected uplands that lie between the Brooks Range to the north, the Yukon River to the south, and between the Dalton Highway to the east, and the Northwest Area Plan boundary to the west. This plan includes a Land Classification Order (NC-21-001) that affects approximately 244,188 acres of state owned and state-selected lands.
Your written comments are encouraged during this public comment period. To facilitate your review and comment, the PRD is available online, and will be available in print format at the DNR offices in Anchorage and Fairbanks. Comments on the PRD must be received no later than April 1, 2022 by mail, email, fax, or through the online public comment portal, https://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/comment/.
