Theres been a flurry of activities in the Joint Pipeline Office (JPO) over the past two years as we went through the right-of-way (ROW) renewal processes for the Trans- Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) and five North Slope pipelines. The project workload was heavy (including the Kenai Kachemak Gas Pipeline ROW issued 10 months ahead of schedule), the processes were high profile, and preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the TAPS right-of-way renewal was unique. JPO has devoted significant time and energy to this project since 1999 finishing two years ahead of the expiration dates. The State Lease signing on November 26, 2002 and Federal Record of Decision (ROD) signing on January 8, 2003 were certainly among our proudest moments. |
