Borough Land Survey Activities in Quartz Creek Area
nn
The Kenai Peninsula Borough has contracted with Edge Surveying to complete a municipal entitlement land survey in the Quartz Creek Area of Cooper Landing. This summer land survey crews may be seen along Quartz Creek Road and along Quartz Creek. The purpose of the land survey is to mark the boundaries of state land that is in process of conveyance to the Kenai Peninsula Borough. The conveyance was approved in 1995, pending survey. The state is retaining in state ownership 200-feet of land along Quartz Creek and Dry Creek. This map shows the survey locations.

Russian River & Upper Kenai River Sockeye Salmon Limits Increased
nn
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) is implementing the following sport fishing regulation liberalization by increasing the limits of sockeye salmon to six per day and twelve in possession for the Russian River and a section of the mainstem Upper Kenai River. This regulatory change is effective 12:01 a.m. Sunday, June 18 through 11:59 p.m. Friday, July 14, 2023.nnThe section of the mainstem Upper Kenai River with the increased sockeye salmon limits includes the area that extends upstream from Skilak Lake to ADF&G regulatory markers located approximately 300 yards upstream of the public boat launch at Sportsman’s Landing (this includes the Russian River Sanctuary Area) and the Russian River from its mouth upstream to an ADF&G marker located approximately 600 yards downstream from the Russian River Falls. Anglers are reminded that they may possess only the limit allowed for the waters they are actively fishing. If a Russian River angler has more than six sockeye salmon in possession, then that angler may not fish in waters with a possession limit of six.nnAs of Wednesday, June 14, a total of 5,953 sockeye salmon have passed the Russian River weir, located upstream of the falls. ADF&G estimates that the escapement will exceed the early-run Russian River sockeye salmon biological escapement goal of 22,000 – 42,000 sockeye salmon.nn“Inseason projections of escapement from the Russian River weir indicate the escapement goal is likely to be exceeded, therefore increasing the bag and possession limits will allow anglers the opportunity to harvest more sockeye salmon.” stated Acting Area Management Biologist Jenny Gates.nnAnglers are reminded to remove fish carcasses whole or gutted/gilled from the Russian River clear water. If you clean your catch, take fish to the mainstem Kenai River cleaning tables located at the confluence and ferry crossing to fillet and chop-up sockeye salmon carcasses into small pieces and throw the pieces into deep, flowing waters. Please respect habitat and cultural resource protection sites that are fenced or roped off, stay on the established trails and boardwalks, and use public restroom facilities in the campgrounds and ferry areas. Please keep all personal belongings, including stringers of fish closely attended.nnFor additional information, please contact Acting Area Management Biologist Jenny Gates at (907) 262-9368.
