5 AAC 95.545 - Yakataga State Game Refuge Management Plan

The Yakataga State Game Refuge goals and policies stated in the Yakataga State Game Refuge Management Plan dated June 1999 are adopted by reference. The plan presents management goals and policies for the refuge and its resources that the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the refuge are compatible with the protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the refuge. Under 5 AAC 95.420, a special area permit is required for certain activities occurring in a designated state game refuge. The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the goals and policies of the management plan adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit for an activity in the Yakataga State Game Refuge will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in the goals and policies stated in the Yakataga State Game Refuge Management Plan and on the standards contained elsewhere in this chapter.

Copies of the Yakataga State Game Refuge Management Plan are available at the Douglas office of the Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish, 802 3rd Street, P.O. Box 240020, Douglas, Alaska 995824-0020. In addition, the management plan is available for inspection at the Lieutenant Governor's Office, Juneau, Alaska.
