USDI National Park Service, Anchorage, AK Topic: Inventory Subtopic: Water Theme Keywords: Reports, inventory, freshwater, water quality, core parameters Placename Keywords: Alaska, Kenai Fjords National Park, Southwest Alaska Network, Aialik Bay, McCarty Fjord, Harrison Bay, Two Arm Bay, Northwestern Fjord, Nuka River, Delight Lake Kenai Fjords Water Quality Inventory - SWAN Abstract A reconnaissance level water quality inventory was conducted at Kenai Fjords National Park during May through July of 2004. This project was initiated as part of the National Park Service Vital Signs Inventory and Monitoring Program in an effort to collect water quality data in an area where little work had previously been done. The objectives were to collect baseline information on the physical and chemical characteristics of the water resources, and, where possible, relate basic water quality parameters to fish occurrence. Water temperatures in Kenai Fjords waters generally met the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) regulatory standards for both drinking water and growth and propagation of fish, shellfish, other aquatic life and wildlife. Water temperature standard are less than or equal to 13° C for spawning and egg and fry incubation, or less than or equal to 15° C for rearing and migration (DEC 2003).

  • Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program
    Technical Report Number 36 Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program Sponsor: Bureau of Land Management Alaska Outer Northern Gulf of Alaska Petroleum Development Scenarios Sociocultural Impacts The United States Department of the Interior was designated by the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Lands Act of 1953 to carry out the majority of the Act’s provisions for administering the mineral leasing and develop- ment of offshore areas of the United States under federal jurisdiction. Within the Department, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has the responsibility to meet requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) as well as other legislation and regulations dealing with the effects of offshore development. In Alaska, unique cultural differences and climatic conditions create a need for developing addi- tional socioeconomic and environmental information to improve OCS deci- sion making at all governmental levels. In fulfillment of its federal responsibilities and with an awareness of these additional information needs, the BLM has initiated several investigative programs, one of which is the Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program (SESP). The Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program is a multi-year research effort which attempts to predict and evaluate the effects of Alaska OCS Petroleum Development upon the physical, social, and economic environ- ments within the state. The overall methodology is divided into three broad research components. The first component identifies an alterna- tive set of assumptions regarding the location, the nature, and the timing of future petroleum events and related activities. In this component, the program takes into account the particular needs of the petroleum industry and projects the human, technological, economic, and environmental offshore and onshore development requirements of the regional petroleum industry.

    ALASKA RUNNER'S CALENDar 2015 The running community is extremely proud to have selected this outstanding candidate for the cover of the 2015 Alaska Runner’s Calendar. (Photo courtesy of Anchorage Running Club) Flip and Patti Foldager Hiking along a trail on the Kenai Peninsula, in the Anchorage Bowl or somewhere in the Mat-Su Valley, it would not be unheard of to suddenly be passed by Flip and Patti Foldager out for one of their trail runs. For more than 35 years, the Foldagers have been an inspirational and active force within Alaska’s running community – in particular, mountain running. Not only are they highly accomplished athletes but they have given much of their time to create, support and promote numerous running events and activities. When referring to the Foldagers enduring athletes, it becomes clear when you look at the events they have participated in. Flip has competed in Mount Marathon 35 times; Patti only 32 (but she did win it twice and took second five times). Basically, if there is a trail run somewhere between Homer and Talkeetna, chances are the Foldagers have done it. Events they have tackled are: Mat Peak, Lazy Mountain, Crow-Pass Crossing, Bird Ridge, Alyeska Classic Mountain Run, Hope Wagon Run, Lost Lake, Dip Sea Race,…the list goes on and on. They also assisted with and participate in the Exit Glacier Run. Of course, their true impact has been in how they have given back to the running community. Living in Seward, Flip is a volunteer for Mount Marathon Race and Safety committee.
