TransCanada applies for slope permits

TransCanada Alaska has applied for land use permits for feasibility studies on the North Slope.

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Mining, Land and Water said Jan. 20 that the application is for a permit to conduct feasibility studies on state land for design and route selection for the TransCanada Alaska pipeline project.

TransCanada was approved last year as the state’s licensee under the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA. TransCanada is eligible for reimbursement for certain costs up to $500 million for a project design which meets state requirements. DNR said field studies would characterize properties of the major soil types and permafrost conditions within a corridor along the trans-Alaska oil pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Atigun Pass, with soil samples to be conducted from drilled boreholes in 12 areas. Prepacked snow trails would be created to access borehole drill sites.
