Abstract:The Copper River Access Study is a Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) funded project to develop a public access easement between the Richardson Highway and the Copper River in Alaska on Ahtna, Inc. lands north of the Gulkana Airport and south of the Gulkana River. Additionally, the study will develop conceptual designs, cost estimates, and other considerations for a proposed public easement gravel road, an up-to one acre parking area, and public boat launch. Figure 1 below shows the project area. The scope of this study is divided into the following: Develop three alternative unpaved routes for public access to the Copper River, Evaluate feasibility of constructing and maintaining a one-acre parking area and Copper River boat launch, Identify a preferred public access route, including estimated construction and maintenance costs, easement needs, and land ownership, cultural and natural resource, recreational, and subsistence opportunities and constraints. The outcome from this study is to provide a resource that will allow Ahtna, Inc. and its partners to proceed from planning to design and construction phases. This study will provide background and research as it further defines the needs and existing conditions of the area.
