The purpose of 05 AS 16.20.365 - 16.20.375 is to establish the area described in AS 16.20.375 as the 06 Holitna River Basin Range. The primary purposes of the Holitna River Basin Range 07 are to maintain, improve, and enhance moose and fish populations and habitat and 08 other wildlife resources of the area through active management, and to perpetuate 09 public multiple use of the area, including fishing, grazing, forest management, 10 hunting, trapping, mineral, coal, and oil and gas entry and development, and other 11 forms of public use of public land not incompatible with the purpose stated in this 12 section. 13 Sec. 16.20.370. Management responsibility for Holitna River Basin Range. 14 (a) The Department of Fish and Game is responsible for the management of fish and 15 game resources on the state land and water described in AS 16.20.375, consistent with
01 the purposes of AS 16.20.365 - 16.20.375. 02 (b) Management of the surface and subsurface estate within the areas 03 described in AS 16.20.375 is the responsibility of the Department of Natural 04 Resources. After adequate public hearings, the Department of Natural Resources shall 05 develop and adopt a management plan for the Holitna River Basin Range that reflects 06 the concurrence of the Department of Fish and Game. The management plan shall be 07 adopted, implemented, and maintained within three years after the establishment of the 08 Holitna River Basin Range. The management plan may be revised, if necessary and 09 appropriate, under the same procedure followed for initial adoption. 10 (c) The Department of Natural Resources may, after consultation with the 11 Department of Fish and Game, adopt regulations governing the public use of the 12 Holitna River Basin Range. The regulations must include provisions for multiple use, 13 as defined in AS 38.04.910, and for public multiple uses listed in AS 16.20.365. 14 Regulations adopted for the Holitna River Basin Range do not apply to private land 15 within the boundaries of the areas described in AS 16.20.375. 16 (d) The Holitna River Basin Range shall be managed to sustain fish and 17 wildlife resources in perpetuity, according to the principle of sustained yield. 18 (e) The commissioner of natural resources may acquire in the name of the 19 state, by negotiated purchase only, without an option of first purchase, title or interest 20 in real property lying within the boundaries of the Holitna River Basin Range. 21 Sec. 16.20.375.
