Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska NALEMP- Anti-Personnel Stake removal

 

Chilkat prepared a workplan to remove about ten thousand pounds of WW2 anti-personnel stakes from 4 remote locations near Unalaska each requiring many miles of walking to access. Chilkat aligned local staff for hire by the Tribe and is managing the removal operation that relies on hardy folks to pack the stakes to beaches where they will be removed by boat for disposal.  Melissa Good is managing fieldwork for this project. These stakes pose a risk to people, pets and wildlife as they are intended to stab us.  Fortunately, military ordinance teams removed the associated claymore mines.
