VEGETATION MANAGEMENT STUDIES
The Alaska Railroad Corporation is working with the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct a herbicide research project, similar to those accomplished for the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (ADOT/PF).
Two field studies were conducted for DOT/PF along highway rights-of-way in two different climatic zones (Delta Junction and Valdez). The proposed Alaska Railroad project is designed to compliment these previous tests as well as provide specific information to the Alaska Railroad.
