Map of Options

A Wetlands Management Plan has been developed to provide information about wetlands in the Matanuska Susitna Borough and to make recommendations for future wetlands management. A public hearing will be held on the Plan at a future Planning Commission meeting where public comment will be accepted.  Paper copies of the plan are available at the Borough Permit  Center or online as a PDF. 

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough (MSB), supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), has developed a method to assess the functions and values of wetlands around Palmer, Wasilla, and Port MacKenzie.  The MSB and USACE are now seeking public comments on a draft report which specifies the methodology and includes mapping of wetland functions and values.  The methodology has been applied to previously mapped wetlands and could be applied to future wetland mapping efforts that are delineated and mapped using the Cook Inlet Classification.
