Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 5:00 PMTo: Barta Carrie L MS DPW NEPA COORDINATORSubject: Integrated Training Area Mgmt Plan EACarrie:The ADNR, Office of Habitat Management and Permitting (OHMP) hasreviewed the above referenced document and has the following comments onthe Environmental Assessment:- Table 4-3. Definition ... Summer Months:-- RED (page 38). Under the third column, "ADF&G permit" needs to bereplaced with "ADNR-OHMP permit."- Table 4-4. Definition ... Winter Months:-- YELLOW (page 39). Under the third column, "ADF&G permit" needs to bereplaced with "ADNR-OHMP permit."-- RED (page 39). Under the third column, "ADF&G permit" needs to bereplaced with "ADNR-OHMP permit."- Table 5-1. LRAM Standard Practices:-- Training Area Management. Culvert Installation (page 58). The lastsentence says, "USARAK utilizes both Anadromous and non-anadromousculverts." What does this mean? Whether the stream supports anadromousor resident fish, the culvert must be designed for fish passage designflows and flood flows.-- Training Area Management. Gravel Extraction (page 58). In the past,gravel material has been obtained from Jarvis Creek for Ft. Greeleyprojects. Will in-stream (i.e., gravel bar) material sites not be usedin the future?-- Training Area Repair. Dust Control (page 59). What is the sourcefor water for most dust control projects? If the water is withdrawnfrom a stream, a permit is required from the OHMP and the ADNR, Divisionof Mining, Land and Water (i.e., Temporary Water Use Permit).-- Training Area Repair. Streambank Repair (Interior Alaska) (page 60).This paragraph states, "The three main bio-engineering stabilizationpractices used on Fort Richardson..." I assume this is a typo and thatthe last two sentences of this paragraph can be deleted. As far as Iknow, the military has not constructed a bank stabilization project onFort Wainwright or Greeley.-- Training Area Repair. Sreambank Repair (South Central Alaska) (page61).The last sentence, "Specific methods for streambank stabilization areused in interior Alaska" can be deleted.If you have any questions regarding the comments above, please call. Iwill try and get comments on Appendix C2. of the EA to you as soon aspossible.I am sorry for the delay and appreciate your patience._____________________________________________________________________________________________Environmental AssessmentUnited States Army Alaska, Integrated Training Area Management ProgramManagement Plan E-7
