On Sept. 29, the Resource Development Council for Alaska, or RDC, sent out an ACTION ALERT to its members and supporters regarding upcoming public meeting opportunities to testify about ConocoPhillips Alaska Inc.' proposed CD8 Project EIS.
"Please consider participating in the following U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) public scoping meetings for the CD8 Project Environmental Impact Statement," RDC said in its action alert,
CPAI's project would construct a new drill-site, tie-in pad, and supporting infrastructure such as roads, pipelines, and power and fiber optic lines connecting CD8 to existing facilities at CD4 and the Alpine Central Facility.
USACE is preparing an EIS to evaluate potential environmental impacts of the project. These meetings offer an opportunity to ask questions and provide input on the project.
The remaining two meetings are scheduled as follows:
VIRTUAL: Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Meeting Link will be posted on the project website www.CD8EIS.com
ANCHORAGE: Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Wilda Marston Theater, 3600 Denali St, Anchorage, Alaska.
Comments on the project can be shared during the public meetings or submitted in writing and emailed to [email protected]. Visit www.CD8EIS.com to join the email list, make a comment, or learn more about this project. Meeting materials are available on the project website.
