Gravel, Sand, and Rock

Managing Aleut lands and resources for the next generation

Aleut’s Lands Department oversees sand, gravel, and rock, which are essential to developing community infrastructure. Aleut manages material sites on Adak while our Village Corporations manage sites across the Aleut region.

Aleut manages sand, gravel, and rock agreements with the four largest village corporations (surface estate owners) in the Aleut region:

  • Shumagin Corporation in Sand Point
  • King Cove Corporation in King Cove
  • Tanadgusix Corporation in St. Paul
  • Ounalashka Corporation in Unalaska

Aleut works in collaboration with village and community leadership as well as with residents to discuss projects, development, and reclamation plans as well as training and employment opportunities. The material sites are not only available for large scale projects, but also for community projects and individual shareholder projects.
