Availability of Record of Decision
Selecting a Route for the Ambler
Mining District Industrial Access Road
Through the Kobuk National Preserve,
Alaska; Terms and Conditions
Accompanying That Decision, and
Final Environmental and Economic
Analysis of the Impacts of Proposed
Routes Within the Preserve
National Park Service, Interior.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
As required by law, the
Department of the Interior (DOI) and the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
have jointly agreed upon a route for the
issuance of the right-of-way across the
Western (Kobuk River) unit of the Gates
of the Arctic National Preserve for the
proposed Ambler Mining District
Industrial Access Road, based on the
Final Environmental and Economic
Analysis.
SUMMARY:
The
Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA) established
the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve
(Preserve). Section 201(4) of that Act
also required that the Secretary of the
Interior permit access for surface
transportation from the Dalton Highway
to the Ambler Mining District through
the Preserve, and for the Secretaries of
the Interior and Transportation to
jointly agree upon the route. The Act
further required the two Secretaries to
prepare an Environmental and
Economic Analysis (EEA) for the
purpose of determining the most
desirable route for the right-of-way
through the Preserve, in lieu of an
Environmental Impact Statement, and
exempted the EEA from judicial review.
The EEA and related activities were to
be triggered by the filing of an
application for such a right-of-way.
The Alaska Industrial Development
and Export Authority (AIDEA), a public
corporation of the State of Alaska, has
applied for a right-of-way for an
industrial access road through the
Preserve. The proposed route is 26 miles
within the Preserve and 211 miles in
total (the Northern Alignment). The EEA
also analyzed an alternative route that is
18 miles within the Preserve and 228
miles in total (the Southern Alignment).
The National Park Service (NPS), in
cooperation with the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), prepared the
EEA. A draft of the document was
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

issued for public comment on August
23, 2019, for a comment period that
originally extended through October 7,
2019. Based on feedback from the
public, this was extended until October
29, 2019. NPS also attended 12 public
meetings sponsored by BLM, one in
Fairbanks, one in Washington, DC, and
10 in rural Alaska communities possibly
impacted by the road.
NPS received slightly under 3,000
comments. The NPS analyzed all pieces
of correspondence received during the
comment period when preparing the
final EEA. The comments assisted in
identifying sections of the draft EEA,
including proposed terms and
conditions, that required refinement and
revision. It also aided in organizing,
clarifying, and addressing technical
information within the final EEA.
The Record of Decision (ROD),
informed by the EEA, determined the
Northern Alignment to be the most
economically feasible and prudent
alternative with less severe impacts
allowing for construction, operation,
maintenance, and reclamation of the
private industrial access road. The
selected route would impact fewer
wetlands, would have less adverse
impacts on fish, subsistence, wild and
scenic rivers and would have greater
economic feasibility.
Due to the need for the overall road
to traverse land managed by the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) and the
need for other federal permits, including
a Clean Water Act section 404 permit
from the Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), the full project is subject to
NEPA, with BLM and USACE jointly
undertaking that analysis. The
subsistence impact analysis required by
ANILCA Section 810 is found in the
BLM/USACE joint ROD (JROD), as are
the results of consultations required
under other applicable laws. The JROD
determined that the Northern Alignment
was the least environmentally damaging
practicable alternative and would not be
contrary to the public interest. Full
details are in the final DOI/DOT ROD
and EEA, including required permit
terms and conditions, which are
available at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/Ambler.
This is a final decision.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 410hh(4); 43 CFR
36.13(a).
George Wallace,
Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and
Parks.
