FAIRBANKS, Alaska—The National Park Service (NPS) extended the deadline today for public comments on the proposed Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Road Draft Environmental and Economic Analysis (EEA) from 45 to 60 days, moving the deadline to Oct. 29, 2019. This extension aligns with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision to extend the public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the full length of the proposed Ambler Road. The extension was provided in recognition of subsistence/hunting season and the number of interested communities in the region. 

Members of the public are encouraged to participate in the review process by attending public meetings or submitting comments on the draft analysis for the NPS to consider in preparing the final analysis. For meeting dates and locations, and to view or download the Draft EEA, please visit https://parkplanning.nps.gov/Ambler. Hard copies are also available at the NPS Fairbanks Administrative Center, 4175 Geist Road, Fairbanks, AK 99709

Comments on the draft analysis should be specific to the document itself, referencing sections or pages, and include specific details regarding issues or concerns that also provide rationale for the concern or suggestion.
