University of Alaska Land Management

Subject to AS 38.05.850, the Northern Region Land Office has received an application for the following:

Applicant: University of Alaska Land Management

Project Name: ADL 421292

Geographic Location: All 5 research plots are accessed off Chena Hot Springs Road, east of Fairbanks, Alaska. Three sites are located off Grange Road at approximately milepost 21, and 2 sites are located at milepost 28.

Legal Description:

Section 9, Township 1 North, Range 4 East, and Section 28 and Township 1 North, Range 5 East, Fairbanks Meridian.

Requested Activity: University of Alaska Land Management is seeking a renewal and modification of their land use permit for 5 research sites on the Chena River floodplain off Chena Hot Springs Road. The research being conducted measures changes over time of vegetation growth and soil development. Each site is a unique ecotype: Willow, Balsam Poplar, White Spruce, White/Black spruce, and Black Spruce/Sphagnum moss. These research plots have been under authorization since 1964.

The modification of the permit is to change the legal description of the plots at 28-mile Chena Hot Springs Road. The location was misidentified in the original application as being located in Section 4, Township 1 South, Range 4 East, Fairbanks Merian. The correct location is Section 28, Township 1 North, Range 5 East, Fairbanks Meridian. Another modification is to extend the land use permit term from five years to twenty.
