Alcan Land Port of Entry Expansion and Modernization

Notice of Availability for the Record of Decision on the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Alcan Land Port of Entry Expansion and Modernization in Alcan, Alaska

GSA issued a Record of Decision on October 18, 2024, selecting Alternative 1 (Expansion and Modernization in Place) for the Alcan Land Port of Entry in Alcan, Alaska. The project replaces existing LPOE facilities with a new Main LPOE Building, enclosed inspection vehicle spaces, new housing units, an indoor firing range, and a helicopter landing zone, with roughly 15 acres of temporary and 5 acres of permanent ground disturbance. GSA will need authorization to use up to 6.5 acres within Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge for the helicopter landing zone. The Native Village of Northway served as cooperating agency. Construction follows a six-year phased timeline.

GSA's Public Buildings Service has released a Final EIS for the expansion and modernization of the Alcan Land Port of Entry (LPOE) in Alcan, Alaska, the only 24-hour port serving privately-owned vehicles and commercial traffic between the Yukon Territory and mainland Alaska. The FEIS evaluates two alternatives: Alternative 1, construction of a new expanded LPOE at the existing site including housing units, an indoor firing range, and a helicopter landing zone requiring up to 6.5 acres of Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, and the No Action Alternative. GSA's preferred alternative is Alternative 1. All resource areas show less-than-significant impacts. The 30-day wait period closes October 7, 2024, after which GSA will issue a Record of Decision.
