The Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources, pursuant to the Right-of-Way Leasing Act, Alaska Statute (AS) 38.35.070, hereby gives notice that Polar LNG, LLC, submitted an amended application received on April 10, 2012, in accordance with AS 38.35.050 for a proposed Polar Natural Gas Pipeline Right-of-Way Lease, ADL 419237.
Polar LNG, LLC, proposes to construct an above-ground pipeline to transport natural gas. The proposed pipeline will extend south from the vicinity of Flow Station 1, Prudhoe Bay Unit, to the Polar LNG Pad formerly known as "Child's Pad" (Tract 54 of ASLS 76-227) in Deadhorse, located on the North Slope of Alaska. The proposed pipeline right-of-way will contain one eight-inch diameter pipe. The pipeline design maximum throughput is approximately 50 million cubic square feet per day, and will supply gas to a proposed natural gas liquefaction plant.

DNR Issues ROW Lease for Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline
(Anchorage, AK) – DNR Commissioner Daniel Sullivan has signed a right-of-way lease agreement with the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC), thereby granting access to state land for potential development of a 737-mile natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Cook Inlet.
AGDC was created by House Bill 369 and tasked with developing a plan for the Alaska Stand Alone Pipeline (ASAP). The legislation requires AGDC to work toward developing an in-state gas pipeline as a viable alternative if a large-diameter North Slope gas pipeline project does not move forward. The in-state pipeline project plan involves transporting natural gas and natural gas liquids from the North Slope via a 24-inch-diameter pipeline, with the intent of supplying gas to Fairbanks and Southcentral Alaska communities. AGDC submitted a right-of-way lease application to the SPCO last March.
Upon receipt of the completed application, the SPCO issued a comprehensive right-of-way lease, which was accepted and signed by Dan Fauske, president of AGDC. "This State right-of-way lease is a major milestone in the work completed and the progress made on the ASAP project this past year," said Fauske.
