REPORT UNSAFE TRUCKS

Have you witnessed Black Gold Transport ore haul trucks operating unsafely or
irresponsibly?

Submit a Report


SUMMER 2024 SURVEY

Taka a survey created by your friends and neighbors along the ore haul route.
We want to hear from you!
Take the Survey


WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

Kinross Gold Corporation plans to transport ore over 250 miles of the Alaska
Highway, Richardson Highway, and Steese highway between the Manh Choh project
near Tetlin and their processing plant at Ft. Knox near Cleary Summit north of
Fairbanks. Double tractor-trailer ore hauling trucks that are each 95 feet long
and weigh as much as 80 tons will depart the mine two to four times per hour
around the clock. Up to 96 full truckloads per day will rumble through Tok, Dot
Lake, Delta Junction, Salcha, North Pole, Fairbanks and Fox on their way to the
Ft. Knox mill, where they will each deliver their individual payloads totaling
up to 10 million pounds every day. The empty trucks then return over the same
route to pick up new loads of ore.

WHY ARE WE CONCERNED?

The proposed Kinross Gold ore transportation project will increase risk to the
traveling public and accelerate degradation of Interior Alaska’s transportation
infrastructure. It will also increase poor air quality in the Fairbanks/North
Pole non-attainment corridor and potentially opens liability issues for the
State of Alaska. 


SAFETY

Safety must be the primary goal and the ultimate concern for DOT&PF, Kinross,
and Black Gold Transport, the trucking company created for this project. The
addition of 80-ton, 95′ long double trailers driven in all Alaskan weather
conditions will create unsafe conditions. ( Read More…) 


INFRASTRUCTURE

Kinross currently plans to use Interior Alaska public highways to transport ore
without recognizing the damaging impact persistent heavy haul operations will
have on our highway system. ( Read More…) 


LIABILITY

Who is liable if someone gets killed? We are concerned that the State of Alaska
could be deemed negligent for failing to maintain safe conditions on our public
roadways. ( Read More…) 


ENVIRONMENT

The Fairbanks and North Pole areas are already non-compliant with EPA air
quality standards. How will adding hundreds of diesel-powered double
tractor-trailer trucks increase this problem? ( Read More…)


WHO ARE WE?

Advocates for Safe Alaska Highways (ASAH) is a grassroots volunteer group of
long-time Interior Alaska residents with a diversity of backgrounds and
experiences. Together we are committed to ensuring that the health and safety of
all Alaskans traveling our public highways is not jeopardized.

Advocates for Safe Alaska Highways (ASAH) is NOT against responsible mining in
Alaska.

 


OUR GOALS

 * Request the developer make public its Ore Transportation Plan.
 * Raise public awareness and illustrate the extraordinary threat to the safety
   of Alaskans if this plan is adopted.
 * Ensure that the plan has had sufficient review and analysis by the
   appropriate regulatory agencies.
