ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT UPPER STILES CREEK SHOOTING RANGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, CHENA RIVER STATE RECREATION AREA, ALASKA

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation has applied to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Wildlife Conservation for a grant to upgrade the existing Stiles Creek shooting range at Mile 36.4 of Chena Hot Springs Road, within the Chena River State Recreation Area outside Fairbanks, Alaska. The range is in a former Alaska Department of Transportation gravel pit and lacks all safety and environmental controls found in modern ranges.

The project will be completed using grant funds administered through the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Conservation Investment, Wildlife Restoration Grant Program (Wildlife Restoration Act 1937). By using Federal grant monies, a federal nexus is triggered, requiring the implementation of a National Environmental Policy Act review resulting in the preparation of this Environmental Assessment and associated Finding of No Significant Impact.
