Part of the reason the Alagnak was designated as a "Wild" river was due to the fact that it was starting off at such a healthy, pristine level. To retain the "Wild" status over time that level of purity will have to be documented and maintained. Water Quality . Consistent with the Clean Water Act, water quality in wild, scenic and recreational river areas will be maintained or, where necessary, improved to levels which meet Federal criteria or federally approved State standards for aesthetics and fish and wildlife propagation. River managers will work with local authorities to abate activities within the river area which are degrading or would degrade existing water quality.	::Lodging ::Park Info ∙ Plants and Wildlife ∙ Nature and Science - Environmental Factors - Wild River - Water Quality ::Planning ∙ Fees ∙ Facilities ∙ Plan Your Visit ∙ Climate ∙ Activities ∙ Contacts ::Camping
