520 |a The routing of the proposed Alaska LNG Project natural gas pipeline through the Alaska Range is contingent on environmental analysis by federal agencies and congressional action. There are benefits of running the pipeline through Denali National Park and Preserve, which is generally supported by public and agency comments. Otherwise, there are serious construction problems to resolve in the alternative route. Senator Lisa Murkowski succeeded in adding an amendment to an energy bill, S. 2012, that would amend the Denali National Park Improvement Act of 2013 and ANILCA that would remove the ANILCA provision requiring a separate review and approval process. The EPA and Denali Borough government support the alternative Parks Highway route, but the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office does not.
