The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liabilities Act (CERCLA) requires that an Administrative Record (AR) of those documents that form the basis for selection of a response action at a site be made available to the public. It provides the basis for public participation and involvement, and it provides a record for judicial review by documenting the government deliberative process.
The Red Devil Mine Site is an abandoned cinnabar mine and mercury retort at a remote location in Alaska. The Site is on BLM managed land that has been selected for conveyance to Alaska Native corporations under authority of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The BLM has been conducting cleanup of the Site under the BLM's delegated CERCLA authority, coordinated with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, affected Alaska Native corporations, and local communities. The BLM has addressed mercury, arsenic, antimony, and oil contamination at the Site as well as cleanup of non-hazardous solid waste debris. Further information about cleanup of the Site can be found on our Red Devil Mine page.
The official hardcopy CERCLA Administrative Record for the Red Devil Mine Site Cleanup is available for public viewing during normal business hours at the Anchorage Field Office Public Room.
