Public Meetings and ANILCA Hearings on the Draft SEIS for the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge Land Exchange/Road Corridor

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has scheduled public meetings and hearings for the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge Land Exchange/Road Corridor. The Draft SEIS considers the effects of a potential land exchange of certain lands owned by the King Cove Corporation with certain lands owned by the U.S. Government and located within the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and Izembek Wilderness Area. If a land exchange is approved, King Cove Corporation would use the acquired land for a road corridor for noncommercial use.

Please see the Meetings Flyer for meetings locations, dates and times. 

Public comments on the Draft SEIS will be accepted until 7:59PM AKST December 30, 2024. For more information visit https://www.fws.gov/project/potential-land-exchange-road-between-king-cove-and-cold-bay.
