Tanalian, Inc. and National Park Service Land Exchange, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Alaska

The National Park Service (NPS) is considering a land exchange in the Port Alsworth area of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (LACL), T. 1 N., R. 29 W., Seward Meridian, with Tanalian, Incorporated, a Native Group pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The NPS proposes to exchange two approximately 15-acre subsurface parcels of land in Sections 9 and 16 for one 16-acre surface parcel of land on Hardenburg Bay in Section 3. Pending land appraisals, a cash payment and/or an adjustment of the size of the subsurface parcels would be made to equalize the value of the exchange. The NPS wishes to acquire the surface property on Hardenburg Bay to further Congressional intent in Section 202(7) of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act and goals in the park's general management plan to protect the watershed and habitat for fisheries resources of the Bristol Bay area. Tanalian, Inc. desires the land exchange to obtain rights to subsurface sand and gravel for maintenance and construction of community facilities, such as roads and landing sites, and for the location of a solid waste disposal site.
