CENTRAL, AK

AK-Gravel 1 An aerial view of a streambed in Alaska whose flow has been altered by place mining in the past The landscapes of Eastern Interior Alaska contain nationally significant cultural, recreational, historic, archaeological, geological and wildlife values that the BLM have been working to conserve for decades. Placer mining is part of the region’s cultural heritage but has also left behind degraded streams, impaired water quality, and hazardous materials. Restoration investments, which contribute to a significant cross-agency initiative to restore salmon habitat in the Yukon, Kuskokwim and Norton Sound region, will better monitor land and water condition, improve water quality and aquatic habitat, and ensure safe access for recreation. These investments further the work of the Department of the Interior’s Gravel to Gravel Keystone Initiative.
