Environmental Analysis
DOWL HKM is currently working on the Hatcher Pass environmental analysis. This process, while focused on the road and trails due to federal funds, will look at the environmental impacts of the entire project.
The environmental analysis process has been specifically separated into three distinct phases or steps. At the end of each phase, the public and the Borough will have an opportunity to review the results, findings and recommendations before proceeding to the next step. Also, at the conclusion of each step, the Borough can make modifications to the conceptual plan or direction. While not recommended, the Borough can also stop the process at any of these steps.
The environmental analysis will answer technical and scientific questions of what is possible and what is not (for example, can the area support housing and commercial development and if so, at what scale and limitations?). Based on the environmental information the conceptual plan can be "fine-tuned" where necessary or appropriate.
The results of this entire process should be completed in 12-18 months.
