Better map from the Susitna Valley Forest Plan website, which treats the West Susitna Access Road as a given. It's an interesting jigsaw of land ownership!

West Susitna Access Road is probably relevant to this Susitna Valley State Forest, but is the timing a coincidence?

First I've heard about this. Wonder what it's about...

My most common surprise is in the vein of 'that's so brazen I don't even know where to start.' Here's two examples. My experience is these points get repeated in real life, so I find it helpful to jump past the bewilderment and get right into pursuasion.

Of course that's the 1-time releases. Mahn Cho's only TRI report so far is from 2023 and shows zero air emissions or releases to land. This July we'll see their estimates for a year with large scale transport, which should include any dust sloughing off their trucks.

Ore geochemical data from the Mahn Choh Geochemical Baseline Report, available on the Mahn Choh page of the ADNR website. These metals levels aren't exactly good, but for 1 spill I'd be much more concerned about diesel and coolant.

Day 2 at the Alaska Forum on the Environment, kicking off with a keynote on landslide risk mitigation

Took this picture last weekend at the Swan Lake rest stop on the north end of the Denali Borough

The last open lead on the Tanana river at Nenana is freezing over. We're finally reaching typical November ice conditions.

Very confused about this graphic until I realized it was referring to minerals (mining) and not minerals (RFK pseudoscience).

"There's the Parking Garage, that's on Second. There's the Co-Op Plaza parking, that's on Second too. You got Springhill Suites parking... that's on Second. Big Ray's... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex... it's the Parking Complex, down on Second?"
Homer: "Oh, the Parking District!"

The "Nonlocal Alaskans" stats are interesting, esp the last page! Bristol Bay, N Slope, and Denali Borough has more nonlocal Alaskans than local Alaskans. 40% of MatSu workers work outside the MatSu Borough.
