Short Description of Activity
Review plans by AIDEA to fund rights of ways for Ambler Road project. Prepare to comment to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources on AIDEA’s application for the easement and the associated Site Specific Land Use Plan, which would determine the land management practices for the area. The easement is a key permit for the 61% of this 211-mile road that crosses state lands. The Biden administration recently admitted there are legal problems with the related federal right-of-way permits that will require further review.
Reflection/Evaluation
Don’t yet know what they will decide. Comment deadline is April Fool’s day for a truly FOOLISH project.
