ACTION NARRATIVE
CO-CHAIR JAY RAMRAS called the House Resources Standing
Committee meeting to order at 1:55:50 PM. Representatives
Ramras, Samuels, Gatto, Olson, and Seaton were present at the
call to order. Representatives Elkins, LeDoux, Crawford, and
Kapsner arrived as the meeting was in progress.
HB 415-LIABILITY FOR RECREATIONAL LAND USE
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the first order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 415, "An Act relating to landowners' immunity
for allowing use of land for a recreational activity; and
providing for an effective date."
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON informed the committee that HB 415 seeks
to allow public use of private land for recreational purposes
with immunity to negligence granted to the landowner. He said
there wouldn't be immunity for gross negligence or intentional
or reckless conduct. He referred to letters of support from
boroughs, the [Alaska] State Chamber of Commerce, the [Kachemak
Heritage] Land Trust, the [Alaska] Soil and Water Conservation
District, ski associations/organizations, and individuals.
Currently, the recreational statute only applies to the inherent
risks, but not to the land, which is nonspecific, he said.
1:59:00 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON said HB 415 is strongly supported by
people across the state, especially in his district.
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS stated that he doesn't anticipate contention and
requested that testifiers be concise.
2:00:30 PM
ANNE MARIE HOLEN, Assistant City Manager, City of Homer, said
she's testifying on behalf of Walt Wrede, city manager of Homer.
She noted City of Homer resolution 0630, expressing strong
support for HB 415 and said outdoor recreation is important to
Homer's identity and economy. Most residents of Homer support
trails development, but some landowners who would be interested
in establishing public trails through their property are
understandably nervous about liability. This bill addresses
these concerns and clears up ambiguity in current law. She
concluded, "HB 415 should be welcomed as an easy 'no-brainer'
that will have a positive impact throughout the state."
DAVID BRANN, Kachemak Nordic Ski Club and trail volunteer, said
he's a founding member of the Coalition for Homer Open Space and
Trails (CoHOST). He said recreation plays a significant role in
the state's economy, and trails are important for year-round
residents and visitors. Demand for recreational opportunities
is growing, he noted, but [landowners] have been reluctant to
sign a conservation easement to protect them from liability
because easements would be in perpetuity. This bill aids large
landowners such as Native corporations as well as his neighbor
who allows trails across his one-acre property. He said it also
would provide more opportunity for trails in urban and suburban
areas where many recreationists live.
2:04:46 PM
MILLI MARTIN said she serves on the [Kenai Peninsula Borough
Assembly], but is representing herself. She mentioned the
assembly's resolution 2006-027, which she sponsored. She would
like to see the ski trails extended and to offer a trail across
her own private property. She expressed her reluctance to do so
until this bill passes. She said there's an opportunity on the
southern Peninsula to extend trails from Baycrest to McNeil,
which won't happen until there's protection for landowners who
allow those trails across their land.
DAVID SCHEER, Partner, D & A Design, stated that his firm has
been working on a number of projects in Homer that involve
planning and development of large tracts of land. He noted that
the majority of these projects are planned with significant
areas of open space, trails, and wildlife corridors, but that
it's a struggle to figure out how to allow public access to
these private lands without opening his clients to financial
liability. As a designer and developer, he said this bill would
be a great design tool and would also increase the ability of
property owners to decide the best use of their own land. He
said it will also benefit the public. He added that this bill
would not only allow cities to see an increase in public-use
areas, even while economic growth and development infill vacant
lands, but the private land open to public use also increases
public recreation space with no additional burden on taxpayers.
2:07:38 PM
BRUCE HESS, Founding Member, Coalition for Homer Open Space and
Trails, relayed that some of the subdivisions in Homer lack
pedestrian amenities. He has researched the possibility of a
trail serving part of his subdivision. He said the existing
statutes regarding immunity and liability don't adequately
protect a private property owner. He said HB 415 would remedy
that situation and make people much more comfortable in allowing
trails and recreational use on private property.
2:09:45 PM
LINDSAY WINKLER, Homer Soil and Water Conservation District,
Department of Natural Resources (DNR), stated that she's also
representing herself as a landowner, and she's on the Alaska
Trails Board. She said the Homer Soil and Water Conservation
District is a division of DNR and one of the only public
agencies that strictly represents private landowners. This bill
provides the clarity that is missing from the other four
statutes, and the language is standard and has been adopted by
about 45 states. She said HB 415 doesn't threaten the
landowner's private property rights because it specifically
states that informal, noncommercial use doesn't constitute a
basis for a prescriptive easement. She referred to Section
3(b)(1) and gross negligence, and in regard to liability, she
characterized it as clear.
2:11:42 PM
MARUS KILCHER agreed with the preceding testimony. She owns
several large properties in Homer and is trustee of the Kilcher
family homestead. She expressed the Kilcher family's enjoyment
from sharing its property with others for recreational use. She
said her primary concern is liability, and this bill would make
it easier on both the landowners and the public.
AL POINDEXTER, Executive Director, Alaska Association of
Conservation Districts, said the association represents 12
conservations districts in Alaska. He commented that a primary
benefit of this bill is relieving the anxiety of landowners
regarding hunting on their land. His board supports this bill
unanimously. "The bill allows neighbors to be good neighbors."
ROBERT ARCHIBALD stated that he has 35 acres outside of Homer
and having trails on his property is a positive thing for skiing
and other recreation. He added that without some sort of
liability disclosure, his ability to allow trails on his land is
limited. He said that he is in full support of this bill.
ROBERTA HIGHLAND, Kachemak Bay Conservation Society, informed
the committee that the society has approximately 130 members.
She said that it strongly supports this bill. She relayed a
dream for Homer to be connected by trails.
2:15:02 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON moved to report HB 415 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, HB 415 was reported out of the
House Resources Standing Committee.
2:16:26 PM
^CONFIRMATION HEARING(S)
^Board of Game
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the next order of business would
be to consider the appointment of Richard Burley to the Alaska
Board of Game.
[Contains discussion of SB 85]
RICHARD BURLEY, Appointee, Alaska Board of Game, said he served
on the board in the 1990s and would like to continue serving.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO noted that Mr. Burley took flying lessons
in 1961, and asked if he has flown the Dalton Highway. He said
there is legislation, [SB 85], that may be before the committee,
and he asked if there has been abuse of the highway that would
require significantly more monitoring.
MR. BURLEY asked if he was referring to abuse of fish and game
or the entire corridor system.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO spoke of pending legislation to increase
access along the Dalton Highway, and he surmised it will be used
by hunters and recreationists. He asked if Mr. Burley has seen
people poaching or herding animals along the Dalton Highway.
MR. BURLEY said he thinks there are reasons to open up the
corridor, because the Dalton Highway is one of a few ways to
access Alaska. He said he hasn't seen major infractions.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO said that observation is important and
asked if he has seen snow machines or other vehicles herding
animals.
MR. BURLEY said he has not observed it, but that doesn't mean it
hasn't happened.
REPRESENTATIVE KAPSNER asked how long it takes to fly the Dalton
Highway.
MR. BURLEY said from 1.5 hours to 3 hours, depending on the type
of airplane.
2:21:11 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS said he has known him for a long time and he
thanked him for his contributions to the community and state.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON moved to advance the name of Richard
Hurley, appointee to the Board of Game, to the joint session for
consideration. Hearing no objections, it was so ordered.
[The returned attention to the confirmation hearings on the
Board of Game later in the hearing.]
2:22:10 PM
^Big Game Services Board
[Contains discussion of SB 85]
ROBERT MUMFORD, Appointee, Big Game Services Board, said he
worked for fish and wildlife protection with the state troopers
for 18 years. He is retired and interested in serving on this
board.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if Mr. Mumford has seen abuse during
his patrols around the Dalton Highway.
MR. MUMFORD said he has sent emails in opposition to SB 85. He
lived and worked in that area for many years, and his major
concern is ATV use on the north side and the scaring it would
leave in the tundra. He said he hasn't seen much herding of
game, because there isn't much use of that area except by snow
machines in the winter. He has seen people running wolves down
with snow machines.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if running wolves down is illegal.
MR. MUMFORD said it can be, and he was never able to make a case
against someone, although he has seen tracks in the snow where
it happened. Because of weather, "it's hard to catch a day that
you can actually fly and track one of these guys down." There
is legal use of snow machines too, he noted.
2:25:59 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked about ATVs south of Atigun Pass.
MR. MUMFORD said that is not as much of an environmental impact-
-if it is regulated. Otherwise the territory would be torn up
"so bad," and it is impossible to removes the scars.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if an ATV was a single individual on
a four-wheeler or a track vehicle.
MR. MUMFORD said he is talking about both. "I'd say no ATV-use,
just a single person on an ATV--that tundra is pretty fragile."
2:27:04 PM
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS said the Big Game Commercial Services Board was
created to set ethical standards for guides and to resolve the
conflicts between guides and transporters, especially in the
Northwest Arctic Borough. He asked how he would address both
the ethical standards for guides, "to make sure that some of the
local folks out in western Alaska can get and keep those jobs,
and the conflict between the guides and the transporters."
MR. MUMFORD said ethical standards need to be specific,
attainable, and definable. He said he would like to read the
tenets of the Alaska Professional Hunters Association and see if
they could be adopted. He said he believes heavily in ethical
standards and breaking them should come with a cost. Many
resident hunters use transporters, and they should have priority
over non-resident hunters, he added.
2:29:29 PM
CO-CHAIR SAMUELS moved to advance the name of Robert Mumford,
appointee to the Big Game Commercial Services Board, to the
joint session for consideration. Hearing no objection, it was so
ordered.
2:29:59 PM
HB 420-FOREST RESOURCES & PRACTICES STANDARDS
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the next order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 420, "An Act relating to riparian protection
standards for forest resources and practices; and providing for
an effective date."
CHRIS MAISCH, State Forester, Division of Forestry, Department
of Natural Resources (DNR), explained that CSHB 420(FSH) amends
the Forest Resources and Practices Act for Region II, which is
Southcentral Alaska. The bill establishes standards for
forestry activities, supports a healthy timber and fishing
industry, protects fish habitat and water quality, incorporates
the best science available, and maintains one-stop shopping for
compliance with federal laws for the forest industry. Mr.
Maisch informed the committee that HB 420 is the result of two
years of work by an array of interests, and it has broad
support. He characterized HB 420 as consensus legislation. The
science and technical committee, which first developed the
science around the issue, Native corporations, industry, the
environmental community, and other interested parties were at
the table to develop the final recommendations as specified in
the legislation. The Board of Forestry then reviewed and
adopted these recommendations, which are in the legislation
before the committee today. Mr. Maisch said the legislation has
a zero fiscal note. The House Special Committee on Fisheries
reported out a committee substitute that fixed a technical point
on page 5, line 27, such that subsection (a), which was
inadvertently omitted, was inserted.
MR. MAISCH reminded the committee there have been three other
bills that have passed that were consensus efforts using the
same model and scientific and implementation processes.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON inquired as to any changes between this
and the current Forest Practices Act.
2:33:30 PM
MR. MAISCH explained that under HB 420 there are increased
buffer widths on streams in Region II. He mentioned a chart
entitled, "Existing riparian management standards by region and
land owner" that specifies the current standards and the
proposed changes. It shows the differences by region and
landowner. He said currently there is a 100-foot buffer
immediately adjacent to anadromous or high-value resident fish
water streams. The legislation will increase the buffer size on
Type II-A and II-B streams to 150 feet. On the outside bends of
the dynamic rivers where there is much erosion and the retention
of woody debris is important for habitat purposes, the buffers
are wider. Type II-C streams are smaller, nonglacial, fixed
streams of clear water and have a 100-foot no-cut buffer. There
is a 50-foot no-cut buffer on the Type II-D streams.
2:36:06 PM
MR. MAISCH clarified that the legislation would increase the
buffer widths on some streams and decrease it on Type III
streams by 50 [feet], which is based on the science and
implementation group's recommendation. He said there are no
other significant differences between current law and this bill.
2:37:02 PM
MR. MAISCH, in response to Representative Gatto, explained that
the language on page 9, lines 9-12, means that the Type II-D
water body doesn't refer to the Kenai River but rather to its
side channels that are three feet or less in width. He said the
Kenai River would be considered a Type II-A water body.
2:38:35 PM
MR. MAISCH, in response to Representative Gatto, specified that
the number in the type refers to the region while the letter
refers to the channel characteristics.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked then if the legislation is to protect
streams more or less than they have been in the past.
MR. MAISCH said HB 420 provides additional protections to the
water bodies in Region II. He said science has found that there
is large woody debris recruitment into these stream types that
are beneficial for fish habitat and water quality. This
legislation targets retaining best management practices to
encourage the forest products industry to continue to place a
high priority on habitat.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO pointed out that the Matanuska River is
beating the banks to death. He then asked if this legislation
covers the Matanuska River.
MR. MAISCH replied yes, and specified that the Matanuska River
is a glacial stream that is dynamic. Although such a river
isn't necessarily protected, the buffers are left in place. He
explained that as the buffer erodes, trees will fall into the
channel and become part of the habitat component. Therefore, in
these large glacial streams there is a wider buffer on the
active eroding bank. Although at some point the erosion might
pass through the buffer and reach the actual harvest unit, he
characterized it as a compromise such that public and private
lands can continue to be managed for forest practices while
retaining the important habitat criteria necessary.
2:41:09 PM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked about [logging] restrictions between
a house and a river even though the bank is moving toward the
house and the trees are destined to erode away.
MR. MAISCH said that there are many examples of rivers in Alaska
that are aggressively eroding. Trees that fall in help armor
the bank because they often remain attached to the root wad.
The trees provide more protection than a stump on the bank.
Furthermore, those trees also become important habitat for fish.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON suggested that it would be helpful to have
a side-by-side comparison of current and new regulations.
2:43:03 PM
RICHARD SMERIGLIO, Member, Alaska Board of Forestry, said he has
seen improvement in riparian protection in the northern and
coastal regions, and HB 420 is the final piece that will result
in riparian protection for the entire state. Both the timber
industry and Alaska Conservation Voters support HB 420, which he
attributed to the excellent process of the Division of Forestry.
He said the fish resource in this region of Alaska is enormous,
and therefore the habitat merits protection. This legislation,
which he urged the committee to forward, will allow logging
while protecting habitat.
REPRESENTATIVE GATTO asked if HB 420 is supported by the Alaska
Outdoor Council (AOC).
MR. SMERIGLIO said that he is not aware of AOC's support.
2:44:39 PM
REPRESENTATIVE ELKINS moved to report CSHB 420(FSH) out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. Hearing no objections, it was so ordered.
HB 419-REPEAL UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK LAWS
2:45:34 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS announced that the next order of business would
be HOUSE BILL NO. 419, "An Act repealing the Board of Storage
Tank Assistance, the underground storage tank revolving loan
fund, and the tank cleanup loan program; repealing certain
reporting requirements relating to underground petroleum storage
tank systems; making conforming amendments; and providing for an
effective date."
KAREN LIDSTER, Staff to Representative John Coghill, Alaska
State Legislature, presented HB 419 on behalf of Representative
Coghill, sponsor. She paraphrased from the sponsor statement,
which read [original punctuation provided]:
In 1990 the Alaska Legislature passed HB 220 to credit
a state UST [Underground Storage Tank] Program and a
Storage Tank Assistance Fund in order to assist tank
owners that were required to meet the deadlines set in
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Underground Storage Tank Program.
In 1999, the year after EPA's deadline, the program
began to phase out and was formally ended by the
Legislature on June 30, 2004.
A loan program to assist owners with completing
cleanup was established by SB 128, passed in 1999. The
Storage Tank Assistance Fund was converted to the
Underground Storage Tank Revolving Loan Fund in 2002.
The original legislation, HB 220, also created the
Board of Storage Tank Assistance to oversee state
grants and loans. The Board is no longer needed since
the grant program has been terminated and no loan
applications have been received.
SB 128 established a June 30, 1999 sunset date for the
board. Subsequent bills extended that date to June 30,
2007.
HB 419 will modify the end date for the board in order
to be consistent with the end date for formal
termination of the loan program. Additionally the bill
lists out the statutes that relate to the board, the
reporting, regulations, fees, revolving loan fund,
loan program, definitions, uses of the fund, the
respective administrative codes, the orderly
completion of the boards obligations, and renumbering
instructions related to those statutes repealed.
MS. LIDSTER said the legislation that helped the tank owners
with the EPA regulations was extremely successful. The loan
program wasn't used, and therefore HB 419 would provide for the
orderly termination of the board and the loan program.
2:48:32 PM
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS noted that Representative Coghill is trying to
perform general housekeeping measures throughout the session.
He asked if HB 419 is part of that effort.
MS. LIDSTER replied yes.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON referred to AS 46.08.025, which is
included in the committee packet and related his understanding
that "these are all going to be satisfied with this." He then
pointed out that there is some performance bond money, and asked
if that is returned to the state or the companies.
LARRY DIETRICK, Director, Division of Spill Prevention and
Response, Department of Environmental Conservation, said the
only money remaining are the fees charged for new tank
installation. The 1,000 or so tanks left in the program amount
to roughly $35,000 per year. To date, those fees are deposited
into the loan fund being terminated. Therefore, when the
program is terminated, those fees will continue to be collected,
but will be deposited into the general fund.
2:50:44 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON surmised then that there is not money from
performance bonds or other financial responsibility held in
escrow pending satisfactory performance of a privately financed
response action as specified in AS 46.08.024(a)(3)(A).
MR. DIETRICK replied, "That is correct."
2:51:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE ELKINS moved to report HB 419 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. Hearing no objections, it was so ordered.
2:51:52 PM
^CONFIRMATION HEARING(S)
^Board of Game
CO-CHAIR RAMRAS returned to the confirmation hearings of the
Board of Game and announced that the final order of business
would be to consider the appointment of Cliff Judkins to the
Alaska Board of Game.
CLIFF JUDKINS, Appointee, Alaska Board of Game, said he has been
reappointed to the board by the governor for another term.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON moved to advance the name of Cliff
Judkins, appointee to the Board of Game, to the joint session
for consideration. Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.
2:53:14 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Resources Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 2:54 PM.
