The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) is accepting public comments on the Analysis of Brownfield Cleanup Alternatives for the Discovery Campus. The property is owned by the Organized Village of Kasaan (OVK) and located along the western edge of the community in Kasaan.
The Discovery Campus site contains petroleum-contaminated soil. ADEC is evaluating cleanup options for the site that would allow for safe reuse as a gathering space and park area to cultivate berry plants for subsistence harvesting by the community and site visitors.
