Gravel

Doyon will donate for most shareholder personal uses a fixed volume of sand, rock and gravel on a case-by-case basis, depending on the availability of material at an active, permitted, and currently operating site. Doyon can only waive its sales price; local operator fees, transportation fees and other charges may still apply. The shareholder is responsible for all of these costs.

For a sale, you must complete a Doyon Materials Request Form. Review the Material Site Permit and Plan Checklist. Once you have submitted the sand, rock and gravel request form to the Department, you will be notified of any further information required. For donation requests, similar forms must be completed and submitted. Forms are available upon request by contacting the Lands Department.

Doyon will not authorize a sand, rock and gravel sale or donation unless all forms are completed in full, and all required information submitted. It is the responsibility of the buyer to submit a request several months in advance before sand, rock and gravel is needed, as it may take 1-2 months to process a request.

Doyon is not responsible for sand, rock and gravel mining, transportation, any required reclamation, or for developing or maintaining access routes to sand, rock and gravel.

You will need to contact the Alaska Department of Natural Resources for further information, as these areas are outside of Doyon’s jurisdiction. For more information (including useful links) about obtaining state-owned SGR, visit the DNR’s website.

The buyer, project contractors, and other users shall secure all permits and other authorizations as may be required by governmental authorities and provide Doyon with copies.  Doyon may be able to assist the users in determining what permitting may be necessary for their operations and in attaining required permits upon request.

Most existing SGR sites in the Doyon region are located close to rural communities which means that the surface is often owned by the local ANCSA village corporation. Doyon shares gross revenue with village corporations and coordinates on matters such as mining plans and general pit management. We recommend that you contact Doyon first with sales and donations inquiries so that we can provide advice and work cooperatively with you and the surface owner at the front end of your project.
