Problems/Comments

The airstrip was built in the late 1960s or early 1970s. ADOT&PF owned and operated the airstrip until the land was conveyed to the Nunakauiak Yupik Corporation in 2005. The former airport apron is located adjacent to the National Guard Armory which had two reported spills and the community is concerned about the potential contamination because the community is interested in building a new Head Start building at this property. DEC's Reuse and Redevelopment Program assisted the community with an application to EPA for a Targeted Brownfield Assessment (TBA), which was approved in November 2009. Final TBA report was completed in June 2011.
