We have carefully considered the available data and analyses. ADEC believes the available scientific evidence does not support EPA’s boundary recommendations which substantially expand upon those recommended by us. ADEC believes public health will be protected and the applicable legal requirements met by taking the actions described in this letter, which include a proposed nonattainment boundary for the Fairbanks area that is larger than originally proposed by ADEC, but smaller than proposed by EPA. For Juneau, we are requesting EPA revisit certain assumptions and include data from 2008 before making a final decision on whether a nonattainment designation is warranted, and if so, the appropriate boundaries of the nonattainment area. Protecting public health is a goal we share with EPA. As you are already aware, we are proactively and expeditiously working with the local governments to address identified PM2.5 concerns in Fairbanks and Juneau. To this end, ADEC does not believe EPA’s proposed boundaries will ultimately assist in protecting public health.

  • The Alaska Survey
    THE ALASKA SURVEY 4TH QUARTER 2016 Hello, my name is _________ and I'm calling for Alaska Survey Research, an Alaska public opinion research firm. We are conducting a public opinion survey today called the Alaska Survey. The survey concerns a variety of different topics that you’ll probably find interesting. IF CELLPHONE RESPONDENT… We’d like to get your input to the survey as a cellphone respondent. We’ve deliberately called you on the weekend so that hopefully we’re not using up your minutes, and we’d like to ask if you can safely respond to the survey where you are right now. IF LANDLINE RESPONDENT… Is this a residential telephone? IF "YES", CONTINUE... If they are available, I’d like to speak with the youngest male aged 18 or older in your household. (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE…) How about the youngest female aged 18 or older? (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE, CONTINUE WITH RESPONDENT.) All phone numbers used for this survey were randomly generated. We don’t know your name, but your opinions are important to us, and we'd appreciate your participation if that's OK with you. Of course, your responses will be completely confidential. S1.
