Economic Impact

The Old Golovin dumpsite is located on the north shore of Norton Sound, near the confluence of Chinik Creek and Golovin Bay. The dump was actively used from the early 1960s until the summer of 1996, when it was closed and covered with gravel from the excavation created during construction of a new city landfill on higher ground.

The Golovin Fish Processing Plant was in operation from the 1960s to the 1980s. This site is located on the shore of Golovnin Lagoon, less than a quarter mile north of the community.
