MANAGEMENT UNIT 10: West of Tazlina Lake Background Management Unit 10 includes state-owned and state-selected land south of the Nelchina River and west of Tazlina Lake (subunit 10B consists of the Chugach Mountains west of Tazlina Glacier). The state owns most of the land in the northern part of the unit; however, two townships to the south have conflicting state and Ahtna, Inc., selections. The area is used for hunting and trapping, and a few cabins have been built on a former state remote parcel offering around Twin Lakes and the south side of the Nelchina River. Management Intent The land in this unit will be retained in state ownership and managed for multiple use. Primary surface uses are forestry, recreation, and wildlife habitat in the north and wildlife habitat in the south where there are no timber resources. The northern area (subunit 10A) has extensive forest resources, although no timber sales currently are planned. The entire area (except past remote parcel offerings) remains open to mineral entry. Management Guidelines The complete set of management guidelines is presented in Chapter 2. Any of the guidelines could apply to uses within this management unit; however, guidelines that are most likely to apply are: Fish and wildlife habitat Forestry Public access 3-69 ACE 6329467
