River erosion is impacting the road and requiring the replacement of health infrastructure.
Noatak has lost 19' of river bank since May 19th. Now the road to the community gravel source is failing.
Community Water System at Risk: Extreme precipitation throughout the summer and sustained high water has resulted in erosion of the location for the water transmission line and Noatak's two water wells.
High water in the Koyukuk River is causing erosion near Huslia as warm spring temperatures rapidly melt above-average snowpack.
Erosion on the banks of the Koyukuk River is increasing in the community of Evansville and Bettles.
