Bristol Bay Geographic Response Strategies: Southern Zone
The workgroup selected 15 sites from the list of candidate sites for GRS development. The map shows the GRS selected sites, while the site selection matrix and site selection key summarize the resources at risk for each site. The site selection process took into consideration environmental sensitivity, risk of being impacted from a waterborne spill, and feasibility of successfully protecting the site with existing technology.
