April 28, 2020 Update: This comment collector has been turned off.

  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6H7BPVL

This link will take you to a separate website (Survey Monkey) where you can provide project comments.

This page allows you to provide comments for the Jim’s Landing Boat Launch Access and Parking Improvements planning process. Questions preceded by an asterisk are required answers to submit your comment.

The Fish and Wildlife Service requests comments concerning the scope of the analysis, and identification of relevant information, studies, and analyses. All comments must be received by January 8th, 2021 (30 days from the project's December 8th, 2020 meeting). It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such a manner that they are useful to the agency’s preparation of the environmental assessment and completion of the NEPA process. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and contentions.

Comments received will be part of the public record for this proposed action.

Once you submit your comment, you will not be able to revise your answers.

You can revisit this page as often as you want to provide new comments.

Oral Comments: If you wish to provide oral comments, you may do so by calling (907) 646-2784 and leaving your comment via voicemail.

White spruce dominates the mature forest that lines the river banks, where a strong main channel rimmed by backwaters changes with rising or falling water levels. The landing is a busy boat landing with occasional launching, mainly for the recreational boating public. This launch/retrieval site is frequently used to float the Upper Kenai River by recreational fishermen as well as scenic and fishing guides. Th...
