Tanana Lakes Recreation Area Master Plan - Fairbanks North Star ...

Between 1998 and 2006, the FNSB extracted
gravel from a 28-acre portion of the project area
south of the Tanana River Levee and west of
Groin 9. In June 2006, the FNSB was permitted
to begin gravel extraction from an 80-acre portion
of the project area south of the Tanana River
Levee and east of Groin 9, as shown on Figure 2.
Remaining gravel extraction activities will occur
in the north-central and northwest portions of the
project area. Gravel from these areas will be used
for daily cover material and cell construction at
the FNSB landfill, and as needed for construction
of the proposed recreation area.
