John Binkley, Godspeed Leasing, LLC; stated the purpose is construct a gravel road to access their property and existing cabin, which is currently only accessible by snowmachine or foot. PROPOSED WORK The applicant proposes to discharge up to 15,000 cubic yards of fill into 1.9 acres of wetlands to construct a new road; and excavate up to 15,000 cubic yards of gravel from 2.1 acres below the ordinary high water (OHW) of the Tanana River. The proposed road would measure approximately 4,067 linear feet in total, with 3,208 linear feet of road length requiring discharge in wetlands. The proposed alignment would begin at Rosie Creek Trail, an existing gravel road, and extend eastward to the applicant’s property. The roadbed would measure 26 feet wide at the toe slope, with an 18-foot wide road surface, 1:2 side slopes, and 4 foot wide shoulders. Additionally, two feet on either side of the road would be cleared of woody vegetation using a Fecon mulching head. Vegetation would be cleared without disturbance to the ground surface or soils. Approximately 2,500 linear feet of road would be located along a previously cleared property line boundary, reducing the requisite amount of land clearing. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-5), dated March 2025.
