Background on the project: The Susitna Basin Recreation Rivers Plan for the Susitna River is being revised by Governor Dunleavy's administration. He appointed new advisors to the committee. DNR must consult with these advisors. Rivers affected include Alexander Creek, Deshka River (Kroto Creek / Moose Creek), Lake Creek, Little Susitna River, Talachulitna River and Talkeetna River. The plan determines how state land and water will be managed along the corridors of each of the six waterbodies.
