The ASDP ROD approves satellite oil drilling and production pads and associated structures (roads, pipelines, gravel mine) and certain other activities proposed by ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc. (CPAI) on BLM-managed lands in the National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska. Assistant Secretary Rebecca Watson signed the ROD on November 8, 2004.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jim Ducker, BLM Alaska State Office, (907) 271-3130. 

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The ASDP EIS analyzed CPAI's proposal to develop oil accumulations from five satellite drilling and production pads, two of which would be on BLM-managed federal lands. The decisions in this ROD are limited to federal lands. BLM will issue permits and rights-of-way for the ASDP on federal lands following the State of Alaska's completion of its review of CPAI's coastal zone consistency certification and issuance of concurrence. Authorizations for development on non-federal lands will be issued by the U.S. Corps of Engineers (USACE), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the State of Alaska. In addition, these agencies will make decisions, within their respective authorities, on federal lands.
