BLM invites public comment on environmental assessment for permitting of events on the Iditarod Trail.

10/30/2017

 
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The BLM is seeking public comment on its Environmental Assessment analyzing effects of winter competitive events and commercial recreational uses of BLM-managed public lands and facilities along the Iditarod Trail. 
 
These events include, but are not limited to, the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, the Iron Dog (snowmobile) Race, human-powered races, and guided trips which require BLM Special Recreation Permits. The BLM-managed sections of the Iditarod Trail affected by the permits are between the Alaska Range and Nikolai and between Kaltag and Unalakleet.
 
The BLM strives to be a good neighbor in the communities it serves and welcomes public input on this Environmental Assessment.  Please submit comments by Nov. 13, 2017.  Comments can be made online at https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office.  Using the “Advanced Search” function, enter the document number:  DOI-BLM-AK-A010-2017-0012-EA. 

Comments may also be submitted to the BLM Anchorage Field Office, Attn:  Iditarod, 4700 BLM Road, Anchorage, AK  99507.
