Solid Waste
Solid waste permitting and response
SAIL collaborates with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Solid Waste Program staff, other agencies and community members to inventory and, when possible, address legacy and trespass solid waste sites. SAIL typically interacts with four types of sites:
- newly applied for or authorized solid waste sites,
- Oil & Gas reserve pits,
- closed/retired landfills, and
- trespass landfills/dumping
Marine Debris
SAIL works with state and federal partners to respond to and document marine debris events that impact DNR lands. For more information, see these useful links:

Solid waste disposal is not a generally allowed use and requires an authorization. For consideration of solid waste disposal plans, please contact the SAIL section and complete the Application for Solid Waste Disposal and Restricted Use PDF .
