Current through May 31, 2024
Salmon streams flowing across or adjacent to the road

					 escapement needs for those streams are normally of such a small magnitude that
					 these numbers alone are not sufficient to support the consumptive demands of
					 those communities. Therefore, the department shall not issue permits which
					 allow the use of nets for streams along the road systems of those communities
					 communities, with the exception of Ketchikan Creek for the harvest of
					 hatchery-origin fish.

				  one or more of the following conditions, it will, in its discretion, take
				  action to avoid or minimize the conditions:
(1) soil erosion or compaction, or vegetative
				  changes, significantly affecting important wildlife habitat, including wildlife
				  food sources such as fish and fish streams, or wildlife distribution or
				  abundance;

				  population, sex, or age class significantly affecting condition, abundance, or
				  trophy size relative to area management goals;

				  affecting reproductive success, abundance, or condition; movement patterns,
				  distribution, or behavior; or avoidance of important habitats such as mineral
				  licks, birthing sites, wintering habitat, or fish spawning, incubation, and
				  rearing sites, and other wildlife feeding sites and food sources;

				  if the request identifies an unforeseen, unexpected event or effect that would
				  otherwise restrict or reduce a reasonable opportunity for customary and
				  traditional wildlife uses. as defined in
				  AS
				  16.05.258(0: or
(F) if the request identifies an unforeseen,
				  unexpected resource situation where a biologically allowable resource harvest
				  would be precluded by delayed regulatory action and such delay would be
				  significantly burdensome because the resource would be unavailable in the
				  future;
(3) the board
				  will not accept an agenda change request that is predominantly allocative in
				  nature in the absence of new information that is found by the board to be
				  compelling;
(4) a request must be
				  received by the executive director of the boards support section by November 1
				  of the regulatory year in which the meeting is scheduled to occur;
(5) if one or more agenda change requests
				  have been timely submitted, the board shall meet to review the requests within
