The proposed 211-mile transportation corridor for accessing untouched mineral deposits in northwestern Alaska, also known as the Ambler road project, will likely cause harm to wildlife and disruptions to local communities, according to the latest environmental review by the Biden administration. released on Friday, the US Department of the Interior found that as many as 66 communities whose subsistence-style living activities could be affected.
The DOI review, which examined the impacts from three potential routes for the proposed road, also updated the potential effects of the road on caribou and fish. Specifically, it found that all the options for a road would fragment wildlife habitat, altering the movement and migration of caribou and other animals, partly because of vehicle noise, though some proposals would have more impact than others.
While not final, these findings offer further setback to a project that mining companies and renewable energy proponents consider to be crucial not only to the US economic growth but also its climate strategy. “The Ambler Access Project was authorized in federal law over 40 years ago and has support across Alaska and within the region,” Ramzi Fawaz, chief executive of Ambler Metals, stated. The company is “confident” it can address any issues raised in the new analysis, he added.
