SEATTLE-The Alaska Gold Company has paid a penalty for alleged Clean Water Act violations at the Rock Creek mine near Nome, Alaska. According to a settlement announced yesterday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the company allegedly violated permit requirements for controlling storm water pollution during construction activities.

The Anchorage Police Department released more information after the arrest of Bukurim Miftari last night.

A shooting at a cabin about forty miles upriver from Kiana has caused a lock-down in that community as well as the community of Noorvik on Wednesday morning.
