In more ways than one, that’s definitely true of summer 2014 in our corner of the world. Outdoors, the weather has been var- ied, with hot days followed by long periods of rain and cold. Many of our listeners, however, have been keeping very active, whether at 80 degrees or 40. As we write these words, it’s fishing season, which means that Alaskans across the communities KNOM serves are heading out to stock up on salmon for the year. Our listeners keep a close ear for updat- ed fish reports (openings and closures) from Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials and for news on the overall health of salmon runs. These updates are part of KNOM’s daily on top of the world heartbeat in summertime. Western Alaska — the region your support Within our station walls, we’re also allows us to serve — is a place full of incredible com- keeping busy, whether through the digital munities and breathtaking vistas.

In this incredible spot, Dayneé spent a few days as an on-location reporter during one of the town’s most important annual events: Nalukataq (NAH-loo- kah-tuck), which, as she describes, is “a traditional festival that celebrates a successful whale catch.” “It was a trip years in the making,” Dayneé says, “and I am grateful to KNOM for giving me the op- portunity to go and experience it first hand.” Whaling festivals in rural Alaska are, indeed, special moments; they’re touchstones of the traditional, subsistence life- styles that are at the core of the Alaska Native culture we celebrate at KNOM. Even though Barrow is outside the normal range of KNOM’s AM signal, its cultural embrace of whaling is similar to the communities we reach, where the importance of whaling festivals like Nalukataq runs deep. In the words of longtime Barrow whaling captain Jacob Adams, “We celebrate a suc- cessful hunt so people won’t go hungry and (to) enjoy the cultural activities associated with a successful bowhead whale hunt — the rituals we(‘ve) follow(ed) since, basically, ten thousand years ago.” And in Barrow, as Dayneé describes, it’s truly a festival atmosphere: “Most attendees came prepared for a long day,” she writes. “(A)rmed with foldable chairs, blankets, and coolers, Nalukataq was reminis- cent of a very large 4th of July family summer cook out, albeit in 30 degree weather.” To learn more about Nalukataq, and to hear the news story (Profile) your support made possible, visit us at knom.org.

  • North Slope Communications Protocol
    Exhibit 17 ICAS Petition North Slope Communications Protocol Communication Guidelines to Support Meaningful Involvement of the North Slope Communities in EPA Decision-Making May 2009 Exhibit 17 ICAS Petition 4 2.0 Communication with North Slope Communities Region 10 Protocol Statement: Region 10 will: • Maintain and improve our working relationships with communities on the North Slope of Alaska, • Use communication strategies that take into account the cultural context of the North Slope communities, • Communicate early both internally and with North Slope communities as soon as Region 10 staff learn of a proposed project or issue. Implementing the Protocol: Region 10 will use communication strategies that take into account the cultural context of the North Slope communities by adapting our communications to the values and practices of those communities. In this way, Region 10 will practice culturally appropriate communications for each project related to the North Slope. For each project (or project category) related to the North Slope, there must be a deliberate consideration of whether there is a need to prepare and implement a formal communications strategy. If a formal strategy is not deemed necessary, the Protocol must still be implemented by the program. Communication with North Slope communities can begin as soon as EPA learns of a project (perhaps even before an application is received, for example). This requires EPA program staff to communicate regularly with each other concerning their activities on the North Slope. Development of a communication strategy can also begin as soon as EPA learns of a project. Routine and open communication with the communities is an integral part of the entire project process, beginning at project inception, not from the start of the comment period.

Funding Plan: Total Project Cost: $80,000,000 Funding Already Secured: ($0) FY2014 State Funding Request: ($6,000,000) Project Deficit: $74,000,000 Funding Details: No funds have been appropriated in prior years. Detailed Project Description and Justification: This project will provide beginning funding for the design, permitting, and construction of revetment to protect essential infrastructure in Barrow and Point Hope. The North Slope Borough has an established beach nourishment program, however more permanent solutions need to be pursued in order to continue providing critical services to residents. The extended periods of open water and increased number of severe storms are overtaking current efforts, leading to flooding of low lying areas, and potential permanent damage to assets essential in provision of public services. Revetment off the coast of Barrow will provide additional protection to the coast line, reducing flood related damage and protecting public and private property. The 12-foot option was determined as the best course of action based on the 100 year storm mark, where in 1963 12-foot swells did significant damage to the city.

  • Environmental Justice E.O
    National Ocean Service Surveying and Mapping Projects in U.S. Waters for Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement Coastal and Marine Data Acquisition 3.13 ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE E.O. 12898 “Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations” requires that federal agencies consider as a part of their action any disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects to minority and low-income populations. Agencies are required to ensure that these potential effects are identified and addressed. The EPA defines environmental justice as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” The goal of “fair treatment” is not to shift risks among populations, but to identify potential disproportionately high adverse impacts on minority and low-income communities and identify alternatives to mitigate any adverse impacts. For the purposes of assessing environmental justice under NEPA, the CEQ defines a minority population as one in which the percentage of minorities exceeds 50 percent or is substantially higher than the percentage of minorities in the general population or other appropriate unit of geographic analysis (CEQ, 1997b). Low- income populations are defined as households with incomes below the Federal poverty level. 3.13.1 Affected Environment The majority of the impacts identified in this Draft PEIS are to the aquatic environment, and as such, the environmental justice analysis considers potential disproportionate impacts on minority and low-income populations that utilize resources from the ocean. The analysis focuses on those minority and low-income populations that hunt marine mammals and fish for subsistence uses.
