On Northwest Alaska’s Water Potential
For the information of all who
may have an interest in the in
vestigations regarding the advis
ability of improvements within
Northwestern Alaska, consisting
of that portion of the mainland
north and northwest of the Yu
kon River drainage, and includ
ing St. Lawrence, Sledge, King,
and Little Diomede Islands with
a view to determining the ad
visability of improvements in
the interest of navigation, flood
control, hydroelectric power, and
related water uses, concerning
which no formal public hearing
was held, but in lieu thereof,
numerous informal discussions
were held with leaders in sev
eral communities and concerning
which territorial Senate Joint
Memorial No. 11, dated 18 Feb
ruary 1949, which called to the
attention of various agencies the
general needs of the area for
economic development was re
ceived, notice is hereby given that
the report thereon authorized by
Section 204 of the Flood Con
trol Act of 1948 (Public Law
858, 80th Congress) as amended
by Section 208 of the Flood
Control Act of 1950 (Public Law
516, 81st Congress’ has been
made by the District and Division
Engineers and is unfavorable to
improvements at this time due
to the sparsity and scattered na
ture of the population and the
present limited stage of resour
ces development of the North
western Alaska area.

in accordance with law all ex
aminations and survey reports
of this character are referred to
