DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

[18X.LLAK930000 L13100000.PP0000] 

Notice of Availability of the Final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement for the Alpine Satellite 

Development Plan for the Greater 

Mooses Tooth 2 Development Project, 

National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), Arctic District 

Office, Fairbanks, Alaska, is issuing the 

Final Supplemental Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS) for the Alpine 

Satellite Development Plan for the 

Greater Mooses Tooth 2 (GMT2) 

Development Project, National 

Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR–A). 

The EIS supplements the September 

2004 Alpine Satellite Development Plan 

Final EIS that originally analyzed the 

GMT2 Project, regarding establishing 

satellite oil production pads and 

associated infrastructure within the 

Alpine field. 

DATES: The BLM will issue a Record of 

Decision for the application for permit 

to drill no earlier than 30 days from the 

date of the Notice of Availability 

published by the Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for information 

regarding the Final Supplemental EIS 

may be mailed to: GMT2 Final 

Supplemental EIS, Attn: Stephanie Rice, 

222 West 7th Avenue #13, Anchorage, 

Alaska 99513. The GMT2 Final 

Supplemental EIS is available online at 

BLM Alaska’s website at http://

www.blm.gov/alaska. You may also 

request an electronic or paper copy of 

the GMT2 Final Supplemental EIS by 

contacting Stephanie Rice, BLM project 

lead, at 907–271–3202. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stephanie Rice, BLM Alaska State 

Office, 907–271–3202. People who use a 

telecommunications device for the deaf 

(TDD) may call the Federal Relay 

Service (FRS) at 1–800–877–8339 to 

contact the above individual during 

normal business hours. The FRS is 

available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 

to leave a message or question with the 

above individual. You will receive a 

reply during normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The GMT2 

Supplemental EIS analyzes an 

application from ConocoPhillips Alaska, 

Inc. (ConocoPhillips). The application is 

for a permit to drill and related 

authorizations to construct, operate, and 

maintain a drill site, access road, 

pipelines, and ancillary facilities on 

federally managed land to support 

development of petroleum resources at 

the GMT2 drill site. BLM Alaska 

manages the surface and subsurface at 

the drill site and at the proposed infield 

road and pipeline route. ConocoPhillips 

may also develop subsurface resources 

owned by the Arctic Slope Regional 

Corporation, and may occupy surface 

lands owned by the Kuukpik 

Corporation. 

The proposed GMT2 site is 

approximately 25 miles southwest of the 

ConocoPhillips-operated Alpine Central 

Processing Facility (CD1) and will be 

operated and maintained by staff at the 

Alpine Central Processing Facility. 

The GMT2 Project was originally 

analyzed as the Colville Delta 7 (CD7) 

drill pad in the BLM’s September 2004 

Alpine Satellite Development Plan Final 

EIS. The purpose of the Supplemental 

EIS is to evaluate any relevant new 

circumstances and information that 

have arisen since the Alpine Satellite 

Development Plan Final EIS, to update 

the alternatives in the 2004 EIS, and to 

address any changes to ConocoPhillips’ 

proposed development plan for GMT2. 

The GMT2 Final Supplemental EIS 

analyzes four alternatives, including 

two alternatives with an access road, an 

alternative without an access road, and 

a no-action alternative. 

The Supplemental EIS will result in a 

Record of Decision (ROD) that will 

approve, deny, or approve with 

modification, ConocoPhillips’ 

application, as well as incorporate any 

additional mitigation measures that may 

be appropriate. The Draft Supplemental 

EIS, published in March 2018, 

identified Alternative A, the 

Proponent’s Proposal, as the BLM’s 

preferred alternative. The Final 

Supplemental EIS also identifies 

Alternative A as BLM’s Preferred 

Alternative. 

The key issues in the GMT2 Final 

Supplemental EIS are the protection of 

surface resources; the minimization of 

social impacts; and the identification of 

appropriate mitigation measures for the 

construction, operation, and 

maintenance of a drill site and access 

road, pipelines, and ancillary facilities 

to support development of petroleum 

resources at the proposed GMT2 site. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6(b). 

Karen E. Mouritsen, 

Acting State Director, Alaska.
