questions commercial activity at Denali's Toklat Rest Stop
We have always supported maintaining the
primitive character of Denali's famous road, which traverses 80
miles through designated Wilderness. This road provides opportunities
to glimpse large mammals such as caribou, bears, moose and sheep.
In addition, the vast distances, glacial landscapes and tundra hillsides
are emblematic of subarctic wilderness. Although park plans have
included new infrastructure and development along the road, commercial
activities have been prohibited at rest stops. Recently NPS determined
that a temporary bookstore at Toklat Rest Stop could be maintained
indefinitely. We opposed this move as against planning intent for
Toklat. To read our letter to NPS Superintendent Paul Anderson regarding
this, click here.

works toward a community forum on Healy Coal Plant
DCC has noted with concern
the planned restart of the Healy Clean Coal Plant, now idle for
almost ten years. We argue that the restart must go through rigorous
environmental analysis and new permitting. We and many of our members
have asked that Golden Valley Electric Association, who has agreed
to purchase the plan, should meet in a public forum with locals
to answer questions. We will announce date, time and place of this
forum as soon as it is known.
