Engineers 

Intent To Prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for the Proposed Beluga to 

Fairbanks (B2F) Natural Gas 

Transportation Pipeline Proposed by 

the Alaska Natural Gas Development 

Authority (ANGDA) 

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Alaska District, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) 

intends to prepare a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) 

to address the potential impacts 

associated with the construction of the 

proposed Beluga to Fairbanks (B2F) 

Alaska natural gas transportation 

pipeline. The Corps will be evaluating 

a permit application for work under 

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act 

and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. 

The Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) will be used as a basis for the 

permit decision and to ensure 

compliance with the National 

Environment Policy Act.

and the DEIS can be answered by: Ms.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 13 / Thursday, January 22, 2009 / Notices 4023 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1. The 

permit applicant, Alaska Natural Gas 

Development Authority (ANGDA), is 

proposing to construct a 460-mile 

pipeline with a 20- to 24-inch hard pipe 

bidirectional line from Beluga, AK to 

Delta Junction, AK and a 10- to 15-inch 

soft line from Delta Junction to North 

Pole/Fairbanks, AK to deliver natural 

gas from the Beluga gas fields to interior 

Alaska. The proposed route and 

adjacent service area would begin in 

Beluga, AK, continuing through the 

community of Palmer, AK then easterly 

along the Glenn Highway, with a 

deviation northwardly through Chitna 

Pass to Glennallen, AK. It would then 

turn north following the Richardson 

Highway paralleling the Trans Alaska 

Pipeline System (TAPS) route to the city 

of Delta Junction, AK. The pipe would 

then turn west continuing along the 

TAPS route to a connection point near 

the Golden Valley Electric Association 

(GVEA) power plant in North Pole, AK. 

The pipeline would be buried 

throughout the corridor. Three 

compressor stations are proposed at 

Palmer, Glennallen, and North Pole, AK. 

2. The right of way for the proposed 

pipeline corridor is owned by numerous 

entities. The largest land owners along 

the proposed route include the Bureau 

of Land Management, the Military (Fort 

Greely, Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air 

Force Base), Native Allotments/ 

Corporations, private land owners and 

the State of Alaska. 

3. Additional alternatives to the 

applicant’s proposal include four 

routing segments variations and one 

design alternative (A map depicting the 

location of each alternate route is 

available at the EIS Web site): 

a. Route Alternative 1: Utilization of 

a Chugach Electric easement from 

Beluga, AK across the Susitna River to 

Palmer, AK rather than the ENSTAR 

pipeline route. This route would deviate 

northeastwardly from the proposed 

route west of the Susitna River and 

would realign with the proposed route 

south of Knik, AK. 

b. Route Alternative 2: Employ full 

utilization of the Glenn Highway route 

from Sutton, AK to Eureka, AK rather 

than deviating through Chitna Pass 

north of Chickaloon, AK. This route 

would deviate from the proposed route 

at Sutton, AK and follow the Glenn 

Highway, realigning with the proposed 

route at approximately milepost 128 of 

the Glenn Highway, southwest of 

Nelchina, AK. 

c. Route Alternative 3: Utilization of 

the TAPS corridor from Delta Junction, 

AK to North Pole, AK as an alternate 

route to bring gas directly to the GVEA 

power plant. 

d. Route Alternative 4: Utilization of 

the Parks Highway route from 

Fairbanks, AK to Wasilla, AK rather that 

use of the Glenn Highway route. 

e. Design Alternative 1: Use of 4-inch 

steel tubing for the segment from Delta 

Junction, AK to North Pole, AK rather 

than plastic tubing. 

4. Scoping: a. The Corps invites full 

public participation to promote open 

communication on the issues 

surrounding the proposal. All Federal, 

State, Tribal, local agencies, and other 

persons or organizations that have an 

interest are urged to participate in the 

NEPA scoping process. These meetings 

will be held to receive public input on 

the proposed purpose and need of the 

project, to identify significant issues and 

to discuss proposed alternatives. The 

scoping process will help to further 

explain the purpose and need plus the 

alternatives to be reviewed in the DEIS. 

The project scoping period will begin on 

February 1, 2009 and end on March 15, 

2009. 

b. The DEIS will analyze the potential 

social, economic, and environmental 

impacts to the affected areas. The 

following major issues will be analyzed 

in depth in the DEIS: The natural gas 

delivery system construction and 

operation and its affect upon the 

surrounding communities; essential fish 

habitat; threatened and endangered 

species including critical habitat; 

cultural resources; socioeconomics; 

alternatives; secondary and cumulative 

impacts. 

c. The Corps will serve as the lead 

Federal agency in the preparation of the 

DEIS. The Bureau of Land Management 

is participating as a cooperating agency. 

5. The scoping meetings are 

tentatively planned for the following 

dates and locations and each meeting 

with include an open-house from 5 

p.m.–6 p.m. and a project presentation 

and questions and answer session from 

6 p.m.–8 p.m. (Please consult the above 

referenced Web site for any changes and 

additional information including the 

scoping summary): 

a. Anchorage: March 4, 2009 at 

Sheraton Hotel (401 East 6th Avenue, 

Anchorage, AK). 

b. Wasilla: March 5, 2009 at Central 

Mat-Su Public Safety Building (101 

West Swanson Drive, Wasilla). 

c. Glennallen: February 24, 2009 at 

Tazlina Village Hall (Mile 110.5 

Richardson Highway, Glennallen, AK). 

d. Delta Junction: February 25, 2009 at 

Delta Junction Community Center (2288 

Deborah Street, Delta Junction, AK). 

e. Fairbanks/North Pole: February 26, 

2009 Wedgewood Resort (212 

Wedgewood Drive, Fairbanks, AK). 

6. It is anticipated that the DEIS will 

be available for public review in the fall 

of 2009. 

Dated: January 9, 2009.

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility,
