A new federal analysis of the proposed Ambler road in Northwest Alaska says the proposed 211-mile mining highway would create more environmental and social problems than previously estimated.
on Friday, almost 20 months after the federal government voluntarily admitted that an analysis conducted under the Trump administration had been flawed.
The Trump administration had approved the project in 2020, but that approval was challenged in court, leading to the reanalysis. The road, backed by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority — Alaska’s state-owned development bank — is intended to connect the Dalton Highway with a mineral belt in the mountains east of Kotzebue. The road would travel through Gates of the Arctic National Park.
AIDEA said in a prepared statement that it is reviewing in detail the 1,200-page analysis and will be responding publicly as soon as it can digest the information.The Tanana Chiefs Conference, which opposed the road project in court, issued a statement saying that the analysis “is still inadequate, particularly in its analysis of subsistence and environmental justice impacts.
