Link: Chilkat Valley News A state trooper based in Haines is leading efforts to clean up an old junk car dumpsite in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. "It's been a problem that's gotten worse all summer," trooper Josh Bentz said. "They're starting to stack up in there." The area near the confluence of the Chilkat and Klehini rivers has long been used as a dump for junk cars and broken furniture, locals say, and officials are worried leaking vehicle fluids will contaminate the area's popular salmon-fishing waters. At the same time, Bentz is also trying to get under control a trash problem along the Haines Highway.
