Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan, Environmental Impact Statement to Wilderness Review, and Wild River Plans

摘要

The Final Arctic Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan/Environmental Impact Statement/Wilderness Review/Wild River Plan (the plan) describes seven alternatives for managing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and identifies the possible consequences of implementing the alternatives. Each alternative provides broad policy guidance for managing the refuge. The plan also includes an evaluation of the wilderness suitability of all the lands south of the existing Arctic Refuge Wilderness and the '1002' area. Each management alternative includes a wilderness proposal based in part on this review. Finally, the plan includes management directions for the three designated wild rivers within the refuge (the Ivishak, upper Sheenjek, and Wind rivers).
