  • 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.

    Total Project Snapshot Report 2013 Legislature TPS Report 60238v1 Agency: Commerce, Community and Economic Development Grants to Municipalities (AS 37.05.315) Grant Recipient: North Slope Borough Federal Tax ID: 92-0042378 Project Title: Project Type: Maintenance and Repairs North Slope Borough - Critical Infrastructure Protection State Funding Requested: $6,000,000 House District: 40 / T Future Funding May Be Requested Brief Project Description: This project will provide funding for the design and permitting of revetment to protect essential infrastructure in Barrow and Point Hope. 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.

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.
