Description
Summary:The proposed Northwest Alaskan Gas Pipeline would parallel the existing Trans-Alaska Pipeline between Prudhoe Bay and Delta Junction. At Delta Junction it would diverge southeastward to follow the Alaska Highway to the U.S.-Canadian border. This report was conducted to develop protection measures for nesting raptors in the proposed gas pipeline alignment. Emphasis has been placed on the peregrine falcon. Other raptors for which protection strategies are developed are the gyrfalcon, rough-legged hawk, golden eagle, bald eagle, and osprey.
