Important note to reader: Regulations are adopted by agencies and approved by the Executive Branch. They add detail to the general authority given in Alaska's Statutes, which are passed by the state Legislature. The links in the "link" column in the below table are to DEC regulations stored in the Legislative Affairs Agency's website. They are updated quarterly so they may not reflect current law. For links to regulations which have been recently revised, download the PDF file.
Please Note: PDF versions are the most recent updates to the regulations.
Regulations on the legislature's BASIS database are only updated quarterly and may be out-of-date!
