DMLW and the Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR), are working jointly to revise this management plan.

The HPMP encompasses over 203,500 acres of land on the East and West sides of Hatcher Pass (Miles 8 to 37, Hatcher Pass Road), including Independence Mine State Historical Park, Summit Lake State Recreation Site, Bald Mountain Ridge, Government Peak, Mile 16 Ski Run, Archangel Creek, Reed Lakes, Little Susitna River, Craigie Creek, Lucky Shot and Willow Mountain areas. The revised plan may include additional areas of state land to reflect new use patterns.

Susitna Area Plan, Susitna Forestry Guidelines & MSB Forest Mgmt. Plan

Posted by foms  Published in Uncategorized

The Department of Natural Resources is starting to revise two plans dealing with state land in the Susitna Valley, the Susitna Area Plan and the Susitna Forestry Guidelines.  We are conducting public meetings in key communities within the region to find out how you use state land, how you would like to see them used in the future, and concerns regarding the use of these lands.  These meetings are being held in conjunction with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough as they continue to develop their Forest Management Plan (FMP) and Natural Resource Management Unit Plans (NRMUP) for borough land.

The state and borough desire your input throughout the planning process.  The following open houses have been scheduled to solicit your comments and input.  Representatives from all three planning processes will be there to gather information and answer questions.  A formal presentation will take place approximately one hour from the start of the open house to explain the planning process.  Please come to:

 

More information (and map) can be found on the Internet at:  http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/planning/

Although there will be several “official” periods when public comments are sought, please feel free to contact us at anytime regarding these updates.

Natural Gas Drilling and Production Ordinance

Posted by foms  Published in Uncategorized


Summary Statement:

Regulating natural gas drilling and production near residences, schools and businesses is necessary to protect surface property rights and mineral property rights. Reasonable and uniform regulations, limitations and safeguards for natural gas exploration and production will minimize potential negative impacts to surface property owners and mineral rights owners, protect the quality of the environment, and encourage orderly production of natural resources.

This draft ordinance pertains to conventional natural gas drilling and is separate from the coalbed methane ordinance that was adopted in 2004.
