This report examines four management alternatives for preservation and interpretation of World War II resources at the Dutch Harbor NHL, including the option of "no action." In 1978 section 6 of Public Law 95-348 established War in the Pacific National Historical Park on Guam and mandated the National Park Service (NPS) to provide a study of sites and areas associated with the Pacific Campaign of World War II. In response, the Alaska Regional Office initiated a draft assessment of the World War II National Historic Landmarks in the Aleutians and concluded that Dutch Harbor Naval Operating Base and Fort Mears, U.S. Amry National Historic Landmark (Dutch Harbor NHL) was both feasible and suitable for establishment of a new area in terms of access, existing infrastructure, cost, and integrity of the resource. This report reaffirms the draft study and examines four management alternatives for preservation and interpretation of World War II resources at the Dutch Harbor NHL, including the option of "no action."
