Es übertrumpft andere Reiseziele mit noch größeren, längeren, höheren, zahlreicheren oder besseren Attraktionen; zu den Highlights gehören z. B. Größe Alaskas Landmasse beträgt 1.481.347 Quadratkilometer und nimmt damit ein Fünftel der Größe der kontinentalen USA ein; das Land ist z. B. gut dreimal so groß wie Deutschland. Berge 17 der 20 höchsten Berge der USA befinden sich in Alaska. Dazu gehört der legendäre Mount McKinley, der mit einer Höhe von 6.194 Metern der höchste Berg in Nordamerika ist. Vom Fuße des Berges bis zum Gipfel gemessen ist Mt. McKinley sogar der höchste Berg der Welt. Gletscher In Alaska gibt es ungefähr 100.000 Gletscher, die fast fünf Prozent des Bundesstaates bedecken. Es gibt hier mehr aktive Gletscher als im Rest der bewohnten Welt. Pipeline Die Trans-Alaska Pipeline befördert täglich ungefähr 1,8 Mio. Barrel Öl von der North Slope zum Hafen von Valdez im Prince William Sound. Das Öl fließt mit einer Geschwindigkeit von acht bis elf Kilometern pro Stunde und braucht für die 1.290 Kilometer von Prudhoe Bay bis zu den Tankern im Hafen von Valdez knapp sechs Tage.

  • Chugach National Forest Wilderness Area Inventory and Evaluation
    Chugach National Forest Wilderness Area Inventory and Evaluation Overview of the Wilderness Area Recommendation Process As part of plan revision, the responsible official, the forest supervisor, shall “identify and evaluate lands that may be suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System and determine whether to recommend any such lands for wilderness designation” (36 CFR 219.7(c)(2)(v), effective May 9, 2012). Forest Service directives (FSH 1909.12, Chapter 70) for implementing the 2012 Planning Rule provide further guidance on how to complete this process in four steps: (1) Identify and inventory all lands that may be suitable for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System (2) Evaluate the wilderness characteristics of each area based on a given set of criteria (3) The forest supervisor will determine which areas to further analyze in the NEPA process (4) The forest supervisor will decide which areas, if any, to recommend for inclusion in the National Wilderness Preservation System This report provides documentation for the inventory and evaluation steps of this process, and is divided into two sections. The first section provides information about the inventory process and results. These results also include a description of the current conditions and management for vegetation, wildlife, fish, recreation, and access to the Chugach National Forest as they are related to wilderness character. This description is intended to provide a big-picture view of national forest resources and serve as a foundation for the evaluation section. The second section provides an area by area evaluation of wilderness characteristics found in the inventoried lands.

  • Kenai Peninsula Area – Units 7 & 15
    Kenai Peninsula Area – Units 7 & 15 PROPOSAL 156 - 5 AAC 85.045. Hunting seasons and bag limits for moose. Shorten the moose seasons in Unit 15 as follows: Go back to a September season, with the archery season starting on September 1, running for one week with a two week rifle season following. What is the issue you would like the board to address and why? Moose hunting starts too early. The weather is too warm. Antler restrictions due to lack of bulls. Shorten the season. Three weeks rather than six is plenty of moose hunting opportunity considering the lack of mature bulls. There will be better meat and less spoilage. Antlers are still growing in archery season. Hunters will need to butcher moose the day they are harvested. PROPOSED BY: Joseph Ross (EG-C14-193) ****************************************************************************** PROPOSAL 157 - 5 AAC 85.045. Hunting seasons and bag limits for moose. Change the general bull moose season dates in Unit 15 to September 1-30 as follows: Move the season forward ten days, changing the Unit 15 general bull moose harvest dates to September 1-30, so a much higher percentage of harvested meat will make it back to hunters' homes to be good table fare. What is the issue you would like the board to address and why? At issue is the preservation of moose meat in Unit 15. It is so warm and humid during the season that moose harvests can turn into monumental struggles to properly care for fresh meat. The culprits are heat, moisture, and flies, each singularly able to ruin a harvest in a matter of a day or two.

  • Appendix D – Wild and Scenic Rivers Evaluation
    Appendix D Appendix D – Wild and Scenic Rivers Evaluation Introduction The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 established a policy for preserving selected rivers in a free-flowing condition that would balance the development of water, power and other resources on rivers of the United States. Rivers are eligible to be considered for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System if they are free flowing (without major dams, diversions or channel modifications) and if they possess at least one “outstandingly remarkable” scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural, or other similar value. These values should be a unique or exceptional representation for the area studied, and must be related to the river or its immediate environment. For purposes of eligibility evaluation the minimum area considered as a river corridor boundary was the area within 1/4 mile of either side of the high water mark of the river. However, features outside this minimum corridor were also considered if their inclusion was essential for protection of the outstandingly remarkable values of the river. Portions of several eligible rivers are located on private lands (inholdings) not managed by the Chugach National Forest. Each of the land owners, including other federal agencies, the State of Alaska, Chugach Alaska Corporation (CAC) and others were contacted during the river study process to find out if they would be interested in working with the Forest Service to potentially recommend a segment of a river that flows through their land for designation as a Wild and Scenic River. The State of Alaska and other private landowners were not interested in recommending a congressional designation on their lands.

  • South to the End of Kenai Lake
    Chapter 3 – Region 2 Region 2 Seward Highway from the HopeY to the South End of Kenai Lake Summary of Resources and Uses in the Region Background This region encompasses lands along the Seward Highway from the Hope Y to the south end of Kenai Lake. The main communities, Moose Pass and Crown Point, are unincorporated and together have a population of approximately 280. There are also small settlements in the Summit Lakes area, comprised of private cabins and the Summit Lake Lodge. Most jobs in the region are based on local businesses, tourism, forestry, and government. State lands The state owns fairly large tracts (over 8,000 acres) at several locations along the Seward Highway. The large tracts are located at the Hope Y, Summit Lakes, and around Upper and Lower Trail Lakes. In addition lands in the Canyon Creek area are National Forest Community Grant selections that have not yet been conveyed. Smaller state holdings in the area include: small parcels along Kenai Lake (Rocky Creek, Victor Creek, and Schilter Creek); Oracle Mine area; and one parcel at Grandview along the Alaska Railroad. The main landowner in this region is the U.S. Forest Service. There are scattered private parcels along the Seward Highway, particularly from the junction of the Seward and Sterling highways south to Kenai Lake. Acreage The plan applies to 20,386 acres of state-owned and –selected uplands in this region. The plan also applies to state-owned shorelands in this region (acreages of shorelands have not been calculated). The plan does not apply to those portions of the Kenai River Special Management Area that have been legislatively designated.
