Public Notice: Closure of former shooting range at Highland Mountain Correctional Center in Eagle River, Alaska
Summary
EPA is proposing to approve a plan to close the former shooting range at the Highland Mountain Correctional Center located in Eagle River, Alaska. The former shooting range was operated and used by the Alaska Department of Corrections from 1980 to 1998.
The closure is required under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to remove lead-impacted soil and bullet/lead fragments to minimize potential exposure to human health and the environment.
EPA is holding a public comment period to solicit written comments on the plan and requests for modifications. EPA’s review of the plan ensures that the closure effectively protects human health and the environment.
