SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In March 2010, the State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources issued the Survey Instructions to transfer state land ADL 201084, ASLS 2009-10 to the City of Valdez (see location Map attached). A survey of municipal entitlement land must be prepared by the City and accepted by the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in order to complete the conveyance procedures. Currently, Valdez has interim management authority for these lands, but cannot subdivide, sell, or develop them until formal conveyance occurs.
In 2010, Allen Minish of Wrangell Mountain Technical Services was awarded contract #955 and given the notice to proceed to survey ADL 201084. The scope of the work included survey and monumentation for the property boundaries of Mineral Creek Islands (Island E and Ammunition Island). When the survey instructions were issued it became apparent that the final island in the original Mineral Creek Islands selection, "Island C" was not included in the original survey instructions. The City of Valdez consulted with the State of Alaska and decided the best course of action would be to issue a new set of survey instructions to put "Island C" into its own survey.
