Support Documents

Because the project requires a water discharge permit from the Environmental Protection Agency and a wetlands fill permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers, a Federal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was completed. The State of Alaska was a cooperating agency in the EIS process, and has used the EIS to assist in decision making for its authorizations.
