Project Description

The proposed project is located in the Fortymile Wild and Scenic River (FWSR) corridor near Chicken, Alaska. BLM is proposing to update the Long-Term Camping (LTC) program, which supports State of Alaska suction dredgers with state claims on state-managed submerged lands by identifying suitable locations and requirements for LTC sites on BLM-managed uplands and issuing or renewing permits under 43 CFR 2920. The proposed project would align LTC management with current land status, support public and mining safety, protect FWSR values, and ensure consistency with the 2016 RMP and Wild and Scenic River classifications.
