Documents

Hello all,

For those who were present at the August 8 Big Lake Community Council meeting and are aware of BLCC Resolution 23-02 requesting extended community comment period for the DNR proposed land sale in the Big Lake area (Beaver Meadows Subdivision), the attached file is the response to BLCC Resolution 23-02 and individual resident comments, that arrived today from Terry Hess, who spoke at the August 8 BLCC general membership meeting and met a second time with members of the community last week (Tuesday, August 22).

At this point BLCC wishes to make sure all community members are aware. Next steps will need to be determined.

Please plan (if able) to attend the next scheduled BLCC general membership meeting on September 12, 2023 - Big Lake Lions Club, 7:00pm.

As always, if you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please let me know, and I will make adjustments promptly.

Respectfully,

Lisa Behrens
Big Lake Community Council - Interim Secretary

Public Notice > MSB007980 South Burma 2023 Salvage Timber Sale

Notice MSB00790

Notice Type Public Notice

Land & Resource Management Division is proposing an over-the-counter salvage timber sale on Borough owned parcel tax ID 16N04W03C003. This parcel is located south of Big Lake and W. Susitna Parkway, just west of South Burma Road.

Forest management activities will focus on approximately 24 acres targeting the removal of over-mature white birch and small amounts of beetle-killed spruce.

Access to the designated harvest area will be through a forest access trail from South Burma Rd on Borough owned parcels 16N04W02C005 and 16N04W02C006.

​

Tree species composition is highly comprised of over-mature white birch with minor components of white spruce and quaking aspen. An overstory removal is the recommended treatment, salvaging the declining white birch and dead spruce. This treatment aims to facilitate natural regeneration of hardwoods and promote the release of residual live spruce trees in both the understory and midstory. An estimated volume of 250 cords of timber is expected to be extracted from the 24-acre timber harvest area.

​

Supporting material is available for public inspection during normal business hours on the 2nd floor of the Borough Building in the Land & Resource Management office or visit the Public Notice Section on the Borough’s web page, www.matsugov.us.  Public comment is invited on this request.  If you have any comments please mail or deliver them to the Borough offices at the address indicated above, no later than August 28, 2023.  If you have questions about this request call Emerson Krueger at 907-861-7867 between 8 am - 5 pm or you can send an e-mail to: LMB@matsugov.us (refer to MSB007980 South Burma 2023 Salvage Timber Sale when submitting comments).
