our studies on engineering
and construction,” Ward
noted, .“with an additional
$2.5 million to go to further
environmental and socio
economic studies.”
Ward said engineering
monies will go to complete
work on applications before
federal authorities, further
documentation on previously
performed work as well as
geotechnical studies, a pre
construction engineering
program and final site
locations within the pipeline
route.
“Our efforts in the con
struction area will include
detailed construction
schedules and cost
estimates, plus pipeline
construction planning and
final documents for federal
authorities,” Ward added.
Ward, in noting New York
state officials have ordered
several utilities to stop ac
cepting new gas customers
because of gas shortages,
said the $5.6 billion Arctic
Gas Pipeline has a planned
carrying capacity of at least
4.5 billion cubic feet per day
without expansion.
He also discussed a 1600-
mile companion pipeline
proposed by six Arctic Gas
supporting members called
Northern Border Pipeline.
The pipeline would meet the
Arctic Gas line at the
Canadian border in Montana
and run east into Penn
sylvania, distributing gas as
it moved eastward. Other
pipelines would take gas
from the Arctic Gas line and
move it from the Idaho-
Canadian border to the
western states.
“The Arctic Gas system
would cost hundreds of
millions of dollars less an
nually and use 75 percent
less fuel in transportation
than an alternate proposal,”
Ward said, “thus offering the
most efficient, economical,
and direct means of tran
sporting the maximum
amount of Alaskan gas to
U.S. consumers throughout
the nation.”
