Description

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is pleased to provide this report, as requested by Congress in Public Law 113-235, about contaminated lands conveyed to Alaska Native corporations through the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). The Alaska Native community has expressed concerns over health, safety, and economic issues relating to the presence of hazardous materials or other forms of contamination on lands conveyed to them under ANCSA. The BLM commits to doing its part in addressing this important issue by assisting with land conveyance determinations and recommendations for addressing cleanup ... This report details the development and current status of the most comprehensive inventory to date of known contaminated sites in the ANCSA lands. The report also provides an updated status on the steps that BLM recommended in 1998 as well as additional recommendations to fully address cleanup of contaminated sites conveyed through ANCSA.
