Section 5.95.540. McNeil River State Game Refuge and State Game Sanctuary Management Plan.

The McNeil River State Game Refuge and State Game Sanctuary goals and policies stated in the McNeil River State Game Refuge and State Game Sanctuary Management Plan dated May 2008 are adopted by reference. The plan presents management goals and policies for the refuge and sanctuary and their resources that the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the refuge and sanctuary are compatible with the protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the refuge and sanctuary. Under 5 AAC 95.420, a special area permit is required for certain activities occurring in a designated state game refuge or state game sanctuary. The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the goals and policies of the management plan adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit for an activity in the McNeil River State Game Refuge or the McNeil River State Game Sanctuary will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in the goals and policies stated in the McNeil River State Game Refuge and State Game Sanctuary Management Plan and on the standards contained elsewhere in this chapter.
