“Programs like this are incredibly important to Alaska Native Corporations across the state, including UIC, as these are lands within our communities that are used daily—not just by our shareholders, but by all community residents,” said Dr. Pearl K. Brower, UIC President and CEO.
UIC has been awarded $295,000 from the U.S. EPA to remove asbestos and other hazardous materials from the former Naval Arctic Research Laboratory facility—home to Iḷisaġvik College and North Slope Borough Wildlife Management. This project advances cleanup of legacy contamination on ANCSA-conveyed lands and supports the health and safety of our community. Read the full announcement here.
