Issued over 9 years ago
Summary
Description
The environmental impacts of five potential wilderness proposals for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, including the Fish and Wildlife Services proposed action, were reviewed in the draft supplemental environmental impact statement. The final plan presents the public comments on the draft plan, the Services responses to those comments, and an errata sheet identifying necessary corrections and changes in the draft plan. The alternatives considered range from no action recommending no additional lands for wilderness to recommending all suitable lands as wilderness. The proposed action recommends 195,500 acres for wilderness designation. Suitable areas not recommended for wilderness designation 185,000 acres would be managed under traditional and moderate management categories, categories which allow for certain economic and other activities. The proposed action would provide additional protection for wilderness values naturalness, opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation, and special features within areas proposed for wilderness designation. Areas not designated as wilderness may suffer a longterm decline in these values if development were to occur on the refuge.
