Description
Summary:On July 2, 2018, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filed a 24-page letter requesting a more robust wetland mitigation plan for the proposed Alaska LNG Project. Meanwhile, the AGDC is still working on its analysis of building the LNG plant and terminal at Port MacKenzie as an alternative to Nikiski. On June 11, 2018, AGDC provided answers to more than 40 requests for information from FERC and other federal agencies which cover wildlife avoidance and mitigation (including beluga whales), waterbody crossings on the North Slope, and rerouting of the Kenai Spur Highway around the proposed LNG plant. FERC made a request on June 28 for a third-party contractor to aid review of the plant's fire-protection system.
