The goals and policies of the Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge Management Plan dated March 1990 are adopted by reference. The plan presents management goals and policies for the refuge and its resources that the department will use in determining whether proposed activities in the refuge are compatible with the protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats, and public use of the refuge.

The department will review each special area permit application for consistency with the goals and policies adopted by reference in this section. A special area permit issued for Mendenhall Wetlands State Game Refuge will be approved, conditioned, or denied based on the criteria set out in those goals and policies, and on the standards contained elsewhere in 5 AAC 95.
