Red Devil Mine Digital Admin Record

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) requires that agencies make available to the public an Administrative Record of those documents that form the basis for selection of a response action at a site. The Administrative Record provides the basis for public participation and involvement, and provides a record for judicial review by documenting the government deliberative process.

The official hard copy Administrative Record for the Red Devil Mine Site RI/FS is also available for public viewing during normal business hours at the Anchorage Field Office Public Room. Please call ahead 907-267-1246.

For more information about the Red Devil Mine Administrative Record, contact Francis Marley, Red Devil Mine Project Manager, fmarley@blm.gov, 907-267-1226.

How to use this Administrative Record Index

An electronic copy of the CERCLA Administrative Record is indexed below. The documents grouped by headings and then listed in order by date. Document date format is YYYY-MM-DD. 

Each document is in Adobe Reader 7.0 or higher .pdf format. Some files have been compressed in self-extracting .zip files. Many files are large and, depending on your computer's capability or Internet connection, may take several minutes to open. For faster access, you may want to save the file to your computer and open from there.
