TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 51--ALASKA NATIONAL INTEREST LANDS CONSERVATION
SUBCHAPTER VI--ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Sec. 3204. Allowed uses
(a) Establishment and use of new facilities
On all public lands where the taking of fish and wildlife is
permitted in accordance with the provisions of this Act or other
applicable State and Federal law the Secretary shall permit, subject to
reasonable regulation to insure compatibility, the continuance of
existing uses, and the future establishment, and use, of temporary
campsites, tent platforms, shelters, and other temporary facilities and
equipment directly and necessarily related to such activities. Such
facilities and equipment shall be constructed, used, and maintained in a
manner consistent with the protection of the area in which they are
located. All new facilities shall be constructed of materials which
blend with, and are compatible with, the immediately surrounding
landscape. Upon termination of such activities and uses (but not upon
regular or seasonal cessation), such structures or facilities shall,
upon written request, be removed from the area by the permittee.
(b) Denial of proposed use or establishment
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Secretary may
determine, after adequate notice, that the establishment and use of such
new facilities or equipment would constitute a significant expansion of
existing facilities or uses which would be detrimental to the purposes
for which the affected conservation system unit was established,
including the wilderness character of any wilderness area within such
unit, and may thereupon deny such proposed use or establishment.
