On November 3, 2022, Citizens for Clean Air (CCA) met and after a presentation from Barbara Schumann of Advocates for Safe Alaska Highways, voted unanimously to join the effort to protect the Fairbanks North Star Borough Serious Air Quality non-attainment area from any additional air pollution that might be generated by the Kinross Tetlin to Ft Knox trucking plan. CCA works to promote clean air and warm homes in our community. L to R. Dr Jeanne Olson, Joan Franz, Barbara Schumann, Greg Egan, Mike Craft, Mary Ann Nickles.
