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 St<strong>and</strong>ard Practices:-- <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Management</strong>. Culvert Installation (page 58). The lastsentence says, "USARAK utilizes both Anadromous <strong>and</strong> non-anadromousculverts." What does this mean? Whether the stream supports anadromousor resident fish, the culvert must be designed for fish passage designflows <strong>and</strong> flood flows.-- <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Management</strong>. 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?-- <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> the ADNR, Divisionof Mining, L<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Water (i.e., Temporary Water Use Permit).-- <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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.-- <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> get comments on Appendix C2. of the <strong>EA</strong> to you as soon aspossible.I am sorry for the delay <strong>and</strong> appreciate your patience._____________________________________________________________________________________________Environmental AssessmentUnited States Army Alaska, <strong>Integrated</strong> <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Management</strong> Program<strong>Management</strong> Plan E-7
