Whittier Land Asked For Ammo Storage
The withdrawal of 265 acres of
land at Whittier, Alaska, for use
as an ammunition storage area
has been filed by the Department
of the Army with the Anchorge of
fice of the Bureau of Land Man
agement, it was announced today.
According to military officials, land
under Army jurisdiction at Whit
tier is severely restricted and in
order to meet safety distance lim
itations, it is necessary that the
Army acquire this additional land
in the canyon of O'Niel's Creek
The Army maintains that the land
is suitable for no other purpose
due to soil and climatic conditions
It is outside of the area origlnallj
surveyed for townsite purposes.
Although Whittier originally was
surveyed as a townsite, no lots
were ever sold, BLM officials point
out. The military and the Alaska
Railroad have taken over most of
the area. The army has pending
now a request for a permit cover
ing all of the lots and blocks not
now reserved. Private industries
in Whittier are there through ar
rangement either with the military
or with the Alaska Railroad, It
was said.
A notice that the Army is seek
ing the land in O’Neil Canyon for
ammunition purposes has 'been
published in the Federal Register,
allowing a definite period for filing
protests with Area Administrator,
BLM, Anchorage.
