Total Project Snapshot Report 2013 Legislature TPS Report 60747v1 Agency: Department of Natural Resources Project Title: Project Type: Other Iditarod Trail Easements Project
State Funding Requested: $274,000 House District: Statewide (1-40) Future Funding May Be Requested
Brief Project Description: Secure the necessary, proper easements through negotiation and adjudication processes to create legally defensible public access and to protect the economic viability and revenue contributions to the state by the annual Iditarod Sled Dog and Iron Dog Snowmachine races.
Funding Plan: Total Project Cost: $1,374,000 Funding Already Secured: ($1,100,000) FY2014 State Funding Request: ($274,000) Project Deficit: $0 Funding Details: Total Cost of Project: $274,000
Detailed Project Description and Justification: The Iditarod Trail is a large system of trails and roads consisting of the Iditarod National Historic Trail, the Iditarod Sled Dog Race Route, inter-village travel corridors, Revised Statute 2477 trails, state roads, and numerous local trails and roads. Many of these trails and roads are still in use today. The State of Alaska is the largest landowner along this transportation system and manages 2107 miles of trail, 522 of which are on state navigable waters.
The state entered into an agreement, per AS 38.05.027, with the Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) in 2006 and established the Iditarod Easements Group within the Alaska Department of Natural Resources in 2007. The goal was to identify, protect, and preserve historic, current, and future trail corridors and safety cabins to the extent necessary and practicable on state-managed lands for the use of all Alaskans. A set of criteria was established to prioritize segments of the Iditarod Trail that do not have easements and standards were set for which segments would be adjudicated. To date, state easements and rights-of-way exist on 1,900 miles of trail.
The Iditarod and Iron Dog races provide a financial stimulus to the local economies along the route. Bed tax, food and fuel sales, and tourism revenues along the entire race route are heavily influenced by this annual event. For example, there is a reported recurring boost of over $1 million dollars in annual revenues in both the cities of Wasilla and Nome, which host the Iditarod race beginning and end points, respectively.
The Iditarod Trail Committee funded the project with a combination of private funds and federal grant money through FY13. During the first five years of the project, the State DNR focused on adjudicating case files and preparing decisions for approximately 1,569 miles of the total route. Since 2006, DNR has utilized those funds for two staff--a Natural Resource Specialist III and a Natural Resource Specialist II--to identify and resolve the unique land ownership patterns and competing land use issues that must be addressed before easements can be issued on segments of the trail route.

Approximately 200 miles of the total route, represented by nearly 100 disconnected segments, remain unresolved. Most of the remaining 200 miles that still require right-of-way adjudication involve regional and village corporation lands. Negotiations with individual private parties must also be undertaken before easements adjoining those private lands can be finalized. Those negotiations, following the priority list, began in FY09. Additionally, the review of approximately 300 miles of older easements that contain hand drawn alignments finalized prior to current mapping standards needs to be completed for the Iditarod Trail. This will require further adjudication work to correct any misalignments, and will assist in resolving current and potential future conflicts.
It is anticipated that DNR will need an additional two years to secure the route with continuous, dedicated easements. This capital budget request would help fund an existing NRSIII position along with some associated costs of doing this work. The NRSIII would assist in the completion of the negotiations and easements and would be available to transition into ongoing management of the established easements if future operating budget funding was secured.
The proposed budget is as follows: Proposed FY14 Budget -- Personnel Services $107,000 Travel $ 17,000 Services $ 9,000 Supplies $ 4,000
Proposed FY15 Budget -- Personnel Services $107,000 Travel $ 17,000 Services $ 9,000 Supplies $ 4,000
Total funding anticipated for completion of this project is: $274,000.

Notification of this and a request for a permit amendment was sent to BLMon December 2012.
• ADL228890 Iditarod Trail A meeting with the Forest Service to review the existing ADL 228890 authorizations occurred November Z on ,7 2012. The meeting was to assist new employees at the agency in determining the status of their easement applications and authorizations, and what materials are still needed from the Forest Service in order for DNR to finalize the easements.
• ADL228890-0 Vagt Lake Trail The traditional access route used by the public to access this area was blocked by the adjacent land owner, the Alaska Railroad, in June 2012. Multiple meetings between DNR and the Forest Service occurred this quarter. The Forest Service is completing a new design of the Vagt Lake Trailhead. Once the designs have been received, DNR can move forward on establishing an easement on State land to allow for legal access to the trailhead and Lower Trail Lake.
• ADL228890-A Iditarod Trail: Nash Road to Mile 12 A meeting between the Iditarod Easements, DNR Surveys and the Chugach National Forest (CNF) surveyor occurred on November st,21 2012. The meeting discussed the draft survey submitted for the Bear Lake Trail. Comments were sent to the CNF. Work will continue in the next quarter on completion of the final survey.
Tiehack Creek now flowing down trail
Substantial flood damage occurred along ADL 228890-A this fall. The Chugach National Forest submitted documentation and details of the damage on October 3l, 2012. The information was required to determine what authorizations from DNR would be needed to begin addressing the extensive damage to this section of trail. Washout hole along ADL 228890-A

A draft easement location drawing was completed and submitted for review. Conveyance Documents
The Iditarod Team is continuing to review conveyance documents from the BLM for lands that contain the Iditarod National Historic Trail (INHT)and/or Iditarod Race Route. Work this quarter included:
o A meeting with the Kenai Peninsula Borough representatives to discuss the Iditarod Trail and DNR land the borough may possibly select for future transfer. o A preliminary approval is currently in review for a section of the Palmer Hay Flats. o The final tentative approval was received for the Winner Creek area in Girdwood.
Project Reviews
Multiplepermit and lease applications were reviewed this quarter for possible impacts to the trail system and facilities. Some of the reviews included:
o Pt. MacKenzie Rail Extension Quarterly work on this proposed project included review of the current Iditarod Historic Dog Sledding District, Iditarod easement questions and agency reviews and comments.
o Donlin Gold An agency meeting to discuss the Iditarod Trail and issues associated with the proposed Donlin Mine project occurred on December 11thi, 2012,
o Grant Lake Hydroelectric Project A natural resources studies meeting was held on December 12111, 2012. The meeting detailed the proposed project and the studies scheduled to be completed in 2013 for the FERC review. Consultation on the Iditarod Trail will continue to be a part of this proposed project in 2013.
o Chugach Electric Association CEA was issued a permit in a previous quarter for work near the Iditarod Trail in Turnagain Pass. Unforeseen construction issues changed the project description. An additional review was completed this quarter and maps were created to assist in the Office of History and Archeology review of this project.
