Construction and demolition (C & D) debris PIT #1 at the fort greely, alaska landfill will be closed out

This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Department of Defense, funds the Salcha-Delta Soil and Water Conservation District (Salcha-Delta SWCD) to close out the Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Pit #1 at the Fort Greely, Alaska Landfill. The $1,179,334 award, effective September 20, 2023 through September 19, 2024, supports the installation of a fence line along the north side of the pit as part of the closeout requirements, as well as a new security perimeter gate on the road west of the C&D Pit #1. This work is funded under the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources on Military Installations program (CFDA 12.005), which provides grants and cooperative agreements to protect and enhance natural resources associated with U.S. military lands. As an experienced federal contractor and grantee, Salcha-Delta SWCD has a strong track record supporting natural resource management, habitat restoration, and environmental compliance initiatives for the Department of Defense and Department of the Interior across Alaska.

As part of the closeout requirements, a fence line will need to be installed along the north side of the PIT. This fenceline is not required to be a security perimeter fence. A new security perimeter gate will need to be installed on the road west of C & D PIT #1 running parallel and will be tied into the existing perimeter fence further west as well as the newly installed fence that will be installed to meet close out requirements.
