| Summary: | In April 2017 the state-sponsored Alaska LNG Project applied to start the federal environmental impact statement process toward approval to construct and operate a North Slope natural gasline, liquefaction plant, and export terminal. Two organizations, Sierra Club and Center for Biological Diversity, filed motions to intervene in the proceeding on environmental grounds. The city of Valdez continues to advocate its location as a more suitable site for the terminal. In addition, ExxonMobil, BP, and ConocoPhillips also filed motions to intervene in the FERC proceeding on their interests as field lease holders, as well as Alyeska Pipeline Service Company as the operator of the existing pipeline that would share the corridor and Fairbanks-based Northern Alaska Environmental Center for a variety of interests. |
