Welcome to the home page of the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline (ASAP) EIS

The State of Alaska is proposing plans to construct a 24-inch diameter, high pressure natural gas pipeline from Alaska’s North Slope to Cook Inlet. North Slope natural gas would be transported to in-state Alaska markets and be accessed from off-take points for the Fairbanks Area and other locations along the route.

The Alaska District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has been designated the lead federal agency and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), National Park Service (NPS) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are participating as cooperating agencies in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) development process. To ensure compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be used as a basis for the Corps permit decision. The DEIS will fulfill the NEPA responsibilities of decisions and actions required by other federal agencies (such as right-of-way grants and other permits).
