The Izembek State Game Refuge goals and policies stated in the Izembek State Game Refuge Management Plan dated April 2010 are adopted by reference. The plain presents management goals and policies for the refuge and the resources that the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the refuge and sanctuary are compatible with the protection of fish, wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the refuge and sanctuary. Under 5 AAC 95.420, a special area permit is required for certain activities occurring in a designated state game refuge. The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the goals and policies of the management plan adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit for an activity in the Izembek State Game Refuge will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in the goals and policies stated in the Izembek State Game Refuge Management Plan and on the standards contained elsewhere in this chapter.
