| Summary: | Federal regulators have selected 15 rivers and creeks along the route of the proposed Alaska LNG Project natural gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Nikiski that are representative waterbodies that support sensitive fishery resources for additional sediment transport modeling work by the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation. Open-cut trenching (planned at some crossings) may stir up sediment in the water. In addition, other crossings will have water restricted or diverted temporarily for pipeline installation. This "Update" also discusses the State of Alaska's responses to earlier FERC questions, transportation plans during construction, and wildlife impacts. |
