Gulf of Alaska/Cook Inlet Sale 88, Alaska Outer Continental Shelf, Final Environmental Impact Statement. Volume 2. Appendices

摘要

The Environmental impact statement EIS analyzes a proposed oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of Alaska/Cook Inlet, alternatives to the proposal. The proposal consists of 4,796 blocks located in the Gulf of Alaska/Cook Inlet Planning Areas in waters that are from about 5 to 241 kilometers offshore. The potential effects of the leasing proposal are based in part on the assumption that the mean-resource estimates of 120 million barrels of oil in the Cook Inlet/Shelikof Strait and 530 million barrels of oil in the Gulf of Alaska Planning Areas would be discovered and produced. The study describes the effects on endangered species; communities, economy and schedule of development.
