SUMMARY: GSA issued a Record of 

Decision (ROD) on the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Alcan Land Port of Entry 

Expansion and Modernization in Alcan, 

Alaska on October 18, 2024. The ROD 

was prepared in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) of 1969, the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations, and 

the GSA PBS NEPA Desk Guide. 

DATES: Applicable: Friday, October 18, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: The ROD may be found 

online at the following website: 

www.gsa.gov/alcan.

Aaron Evanson, Capital Project 

Manager, AlcanLPOE@gsa.gov or 206–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Alcan LPOE is located at 

Milepost 1221.8 on the Alaska Highway, 

0.43 miles from the U.S./Canada Border. 

The existing Alcan LPOE is owned and 

managed by GSA and is operated by the 

U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

The Alcan LPOE is the only 24-hour 

port serving privately-owned vehicles 

(POVs) and commercial traffic between 

the Yukon Territory, Canada, and 

mainland Alaska. GSA is the lead 

agency for the Final EIS and the Native 

Village of Northway is a cooperating 

agency. 

GSA proposes to build an expanded 

and modernized LPOE and new housing 

units at Alcan, Alaska, to replace the 

existing facilities. The Final EIS 

describes the purpose and need for the 

proposed project, the alternatives 

considered, the existing environment 

that could be affected, the potential 

impacts resulting from each of the 

alternatives, and proposed best 

management practices and mitigation 

measures. 

On April 7, 2023, GSA published a 

Notice of Intent for the EIS and 

underwent a 40-day scoping period. A 

Draft EIS was issued over a 45-day 

public comment period on February 26, 

2024. Comments received, along with 

GSA’s responses, during the Final EIS 

30-day waiting period, which ended on 

October 7, 2024, are provided in 

Appendix A of the ROD. 

Preferred Alternative 

As noted in the ROD, GSA has chosen 

to implement Alternative 1: Expansion 

and Modernization in Place as defined 

in the Final EIS. This decision is based 

on the Final EIS issued in September 

2024; associated technical reports; 

comments from federal and state 

agencies, stakeholders, members of the 

public, and elected officials; and other 

resources contained in the 

administrative record. 

Alternative 1 consists of expanding 

and modernizing the Alcan LPOE and 

will include: site preparation and 

grading; construction of a new Main 

LPOE Building, enclosed inspection 

vehicle spaces, new housing units with 

improved security measures, an indoor 

firing range, and a helicopter landing 

zone; and demolition of the existing 

LPOE structures. GSA will need 

authorization for use of up to 6.5 acres 

extending into the Tetlin NWR for the 

proposed helicopter landing zone. 

All facility and infrastructure 

improvements proposed under 

Alternative 1 will incorporate a 

sustainable, climate-resilient, cybersecure, and operationally efficient 

design. GSA will seek to meet or exceed 

energy and sustainability goals 

established by federal guidelines and 

policies, along with industry standard 

building codes and best practices. 

There will be approximately 15 acres 

of temporary ground disturbance and 5 

acres of permanent ground disturbance 

under Alternative 1. Approximately 5 

acres will be used as a staging area 

during construction. There are currently 

8 acres of impermeable surfaces at the 

LPOE; expansion and modernization 

will add approximately 4 acres of 

impervious surfaces. Given the seasonal 

constraints of construction work in 

Alaska, Alternative 1 will likely follow 

a six-year implementation timeline, 

which will be phased to avoid 

disruption to LPOE operations. 

GSA intends to implement and 

comply with all mitigation measures as 

detailed in the ROD.
