State seeks public comment on Hatcher Pass water line easement
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources is accepting public comments through June 1 on a proposed easement that would allow Theodore Carney to maintain a residential water line near Hatcher Pass.
Carney has applied for a 25-year private easement to access and maintain a waterline supplying water to his property. The proposed easement would cross state land in sections 34 and 35 of Township 19 North, Range 1 West, Seward Meridian, measuring approximately 1,500 feet long and 20 feet wide.
The easement would cover roughly 0.69 acres of state-owned uplands managed by the Division of Mining, Land, and Water. The final easement, if approved, may differ from what Carney requested.
Written comments must be received by June 1, 2026, at the Southcentral Regional Land Office, 550 West 7th Avenue, Suite 900C, Anchorage, AK 99501. The public can also submit comments by email.
Questions about the application or requests to view the full packet should be directed to Annalee Sims at 907-269-5035 or [email protected].
After reviewing public comments, the department may issue an authorization with conditions. The state reserves the right to modify the proposed activity during the review process.
