5 AAC 95.620. Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area Management Plan

The Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area goals and policies stated in the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area Management Plan dated June 1995 are adopted by reference. The plan presents management goals and policies for the critical habitat area and its resources that the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the critical habitat area are compatible with the protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the critical habitat area. Under 5 AAC 95.420, a special area permit is required for certain activities occurring in a designated state critical habitat area. The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area goals and policies adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit for an activity in the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area goals and policies stated in the Tugidak Island Critical Habitat Area Management Plan and on the standards contained elsewhere in 5 AAC 95.
