A new Alaska business-aligned coalition has launched an advertising campaign to defeat a proposed road that members fear could damage and disrupt fish and wildlife in the Susitna Valley
for the road, and the agency has previously been a target for environmental and conservation groups. Those groups have criticized the agency for pursuing what they deem to be marginal resource extraction projects in areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the alliance, in its campaign announcement this week, called the Susitna road project an “AIDEA dumpster fire.
But in a phone interview, he disputed one argument made in the alliance’s television ads: that AIDEA is trying to keep its plans for the road a secret. Indigenous activists, commercial fishing groups and wealthy lodge owners and clients banded together to wage that largely successful fight against the huge mine proposed in the headwaters of Bristol Bay, which hosts one of the world’s largest salmon fisheries., radio and digital ads this week, includes multiple veterans of the Pebble debate. Anders Gustafson, who led a key group opposed to Pebble, is the alliance’s executive director.
As of February, AIDEA had spent roughly $625,000 developing the road proposal, with $8.5 million budgeted by the Legislature at Dunleavy’s request., to compare the economic impact of Susitna Valley tourism businesses with the potential value of development in the Yentna Mining District, where the road would end. The Clean Water Act permitting process, Weitzner said, should help draw out more information about the road’s potential impacts.
