Ms. Dunham (Harvest Alaska, LLC) stated the purpose is to construct a new oil pipeline to move crude oil from the west side of Cook Inlet to the east side via pipeline.
The project site is located within Sections 21 – 26 and 28, T. 11 N., R. 12 W., Seward Meridian; USGS Quad Map Tyonek A-4; Latitude 61.0210º N., Longitude 151.3784º W.; near Tyonek, Alaska.
PROPOSED WORK: The applicant is proposing to discharge 11,400 cubic yards (cy) of native material into 2.94 acres of wetlands for the construction of 9,300 linear feet of pipeline in waters of the US, including wetlands. The proposed trench would be 13.75 feet wide and up to 6 feet deep. The material excavated from the trench would be temporarily side cast onto frozen ground (work is proposed to be conducted during the winter), and returned to the trench, once the 10 inch diameter pipeline and fiber optic cable are installed. The proposed project would consist of trenching, side casting, and backfilling of the trench during the winter. All impacts to waters of the US, including wetlands would be temporary in nature. All work would be performed in accordance with the enclosed plan (sheets 1-6), dated June 20, 2017.
