Army Corps Says It Will Not Reconsider Denial of Alaskan Oil Field Wetlands Permit

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers March 12 denied a request from Gov. Sean Parnell (R) to reconsider its decision rejecting a permit that ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc. said was necessary to start oil production within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska.rnThe corps on Feb. 5 denied the ConocoPhillips application for a wetlands-fill permit that would enable the company to build a drill pad, road, and bridge to reach an oil-field prospect called CD-5 (41 ER 340, 2/12/10).
