If you have any questions or require additional information about the project prior to the meeting, please contact the DOT&PF Design Project Manager, Lance Mearig, P.E., at (907) 465-4490 or Joseph Galgano, Environmental Impact Analyst, at (907) 465-4447. Written comments or questions regarding the project can be submitted electronically via the project website at https://dot.alaska.gov/sereg/projects/chiniak-hwy.

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by DOT&PF pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated April 13, 2023, and executed by FHWA and DOT&PF. 

This proposed project will comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act; Executive Orders: 11990 (Wetlands Protection), 11988 (Floodplain Protection), 12898 (Environmental Justice), 11593 (Historic Preservation), 13084 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments), the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, and U.S. DOT Act Section 4(f).

Government agencies sometimes need to acquire additional property rights for public projects. Often this is only a temporary easement for access or construction. The U.S. Constitution promises private citizens the right to just compensation for property rights required for public use. The Uniform Act (49 CFR Part 24) is used to assure equitable treatment to property owners and that just compensation is provided for any additional property rights. The Right of Way (ROW) section will reach out direct to any property owners whose property is necessary for the construction of the project. The ROW Acquisition Brochure explains the rights and benefits of property owners whose real property is to be acquired.

It is the policy of the DOT&PF that no one shall be subject to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability, regardless of the funding source, including Federal Transit Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and State of Alaska funds. 

The DOT&PF complies with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. For individuals requiring TTY communications, please contact Alaska Relay 711 or 1-800-770-8973.
