ConocoPhillips Alaska, Inc's stated purpose is to address safety and operational needs associated with DS-2S. “This gravel placement is necessary to accommodate continued development of the Greater Kuparuk area. It will be used to support the DS-2S pipeline tie-in; provide a turnaround point on the DS-2S Access Road; serve as a staging area for vehicles and equipment; and provide access to the pipeline for maintenance and inspection activities.” The project would include a pad approximately 120 feet long by 90 feet wide toe-to-toe with an access road approximately 525 feet long by 40 feet wide toe-to-toe. A total of 4,500 cubic yards of fill will be placed, impacting a surface area of 0.72 acres. Gravel will be hauled from Mine Site C or another permitted source. A guard rail approximately 70 feet long will be placed on the southeastern edge of the pad approximately 5 feet from the shoulder to protect the existing pipeline. In addition, a culvert will be placed under the pad road to facilitate proper drainage. The proposed project schedule is to place gravel in April 2015; Tie-in to the DS-2S water injection line in May 2015; and tie-in to the DS-crude oil line in June 2015. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-3), dated 2/11/15.
