BLM Relinquishes River Claim

Bureau of Land Management

The Federal Government has backed down in a long running legal dispute with the State of Alaska over ownership of an eastern interior river. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, state ownership of the Mosquito Fork of the Forty Mile River will open it up to new activity, including mining.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
