AS Title 19, Chapter 30: Access Roads and Local Service Roads and Trails

Article 1. Roads to Areas Rich in Mineral Resources. Chapter 30. Access Roads and Local Service Roads and Trails. Sec. 19.30.010. Findings. [Repealed, § 6 ch 167 SLA 1970.] Sec. 19.30.020. Purpose. The purpose of AS 19.30.020 — 19.30.051 is to facilitate the commercial development of mineral resources, except oil and gas, by authorizing funds to participate in construction of developmental access roads into areas where mining prospects of valid commercial promise are inaccessible to truck haulage. These access roads are to be constructed as rudimentary truck roads and to standards that can be readily improved for general public use. It is the intent of the state to participate with mineral resource developers up to 50 percent for the cost of construction and maintenance of developmental access roads under AS 19.30.020 — 19.30.051. Sec. 19.30.030. Commissioner of natural resources to approve application. (a) The commissioner of natural resources may approve applications for construction of developmental access roads under AS 19.30.020 — 19.30.051. (b) A request for construction assistance shall be submitted to the commissioner of natural resources by the resource developer, setting out the scope of the development and the resources to be developed. (c) The commissioner of natural resources shall review the application and, if found feasible and participating funds are available, may enter into a contract in which the state will participate with the applicant in the cost of construction of the road, up to $50,000 or up to 50 percent of the cost, whichever is lower; however, the applicant shall pay for all right-of-way acquisition. (d) For purposes of (c) of this section, “cost of construction” includes, in addition to costs directly related to the project, the sum total of all costs of financing and carrying out the project. These include, but are not limited to, the costs of all necessary studies, surveys, plans and specifications, architectural, engineering or other special services, acquisition of real property, site preparation and development, purchase, construction, reconstruction, and improvement of real property and the acquisition of machinery and equipment as may be necessary in connection with the project; an allocable portion of the administrative and operating expenses of the grantee; the cost of financing the project, including interest on bonds issued to finance the project; and the cost of other items, including any indemnity and surety bonds and premiums on insurance, legal fees, fees and expenses of trustees, depositaries, financial advisors, and paying agents for the bonds issued as the issuer considers necessary. Sec. 19.30.040. Construction and maintenance. (a) Upon approval of an application and agreement as to state participation, the applicant resource developer shall submit to the commissioner of natural resources road plans and specifications for the standard of construction the applicant believes to be necessary to develop the mineral resource and protect the fish and game resources that may be affected by the road construction. Plans and specifications submitted by each applicant shall be forwarded by the commissioner of natural resources to the commissioner of transportation and public facilities and the commissioner of fish and game and, upon approval by them, the applicant may proceed with construction. (b) The applicant shall be allowed credit for the use of the applicant's workers and equipment or those of the applicant's contractor as the applicant's share of cost participation. The applicant must submit documentation satisfactory to the commissioner of transportation and public facilities to support the applicant's participation for this credit. (c) If the total cost of the road is less than the original estimate, the state shall match only half of the actual cost. (d) If the total cost of the road is greater than the original estimate, the applicant resource developer shall be responsible for all costs in excess of the agreed upon state participation. (e) The road becomes the property of the state, and, so long as the road is used by the applicant resource developer, is open to public use, and the applicant shall bear one-half the cost of maintenance. Sec. 19.30.045. Canadian minerals. The state may elect, at the joint discretion of the commissioners of transportation and public facilities and natural resources, to authorize participation in a similar manner to that authorized in AS 19.30.020 — 19.30.040, in construction and maintenance of developmental access roads to the state border for the development of mineral resources that are in adjacent Canadian land if access roads are the most feasible way of developing those mineral resources, and if it is considered by the commissioners to be in the interest of the state to construct the roads; however, the state may participate up to $50,000, or up to one-third of the cost of construction and of the maintenance of these roads in the state, whichever is lower. Sec. 19.30.050. Permanent capital structures prohibited. [Repealed, § 4 ch 129 SLA 1968.] Sec. 19.30.051. Regulations. The commissioner of natural resources and the commissioner of transportation and public facilities shall adopt regulations to implement the purposes of AS 19.30.020 — 19.30.051. Article 2. Roads to State Land Programmed for Surface Disposal. Sec. 19.30.060. Purpose. It is the purpose of AS 19.30.060 — 19.30.100 to provide access to state land that is programmed for surface disposal, and to provide access roads at the lowest possible cost. Sec. 19.30.070. Contracts for construction of roads. The director of the division of lands may contract with private persons for the construction of roads to and on state land programmed for surface disposal that are not more than six miles from existing roads or highways. Contracts under this section are governed by AS 36.30 (State Procurement Code). Sec. 19.30.080. Construction standards and maintenance. An access road constructed under AS 19.30.060 — 19.30.100 shall be of low standard, not necessarily suitable for all weather use. The state is not under obligation to maintain an access road constructed under AS 19.30.060 — 19.30.100. If an access road is constructed outside a municipality that has zoning ordinances, the right-of-way width for the road shall be determined by the division of lands and the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. If an access road is constructed within the boundaries of a municipality that has zoning ordinances, the right-of-way width shall conform to the subdivision control ordinances of the municipality. Contracts for the work on an access road are governed by AS 36.30 (State Procurement Code). Sec. 19.30.090. Payment of construction costs in land credit certificates. The cost of constructing access roads to state land shall be paid in freely transferable land credit certificates which may be applied toward the purchase or lease of any state land under the jurisdiction of the division of lands, except tide, submerged, and shoreland and land belonging to the state which have been obtained by escheat, purchase, or any means other than by general land grant. A land credit certificate is valid for a period of 20 years after issue. After the expiration of 20 years from date of issue the holder may not start an action against the state or any person based upon the certificate. The method of disposing of land and resources and restrictions upon their disposal established by law or regulation are in no way affected by the use of land credit certificates. Sec. 19.30.100.
