FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action
and the DEIS can be answered by: Ms.
Melissa Riordan, Regulatory Division,
telephone: (907) 474–2166, or mail: U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, CEPOA–RD,
2175 University Avenue, Suite 201(E),
Fairbanks, AK 99709–4927. You may
also request to be added to the mailing
list and find additional information at
the following Web site: https://
www.foothillswesteis.com.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Proposed Action. The Department
of Transportation and Public Facilities
(DOT&PF) is proposing to construct an
all-season transportation access road
from the Dalton Highway to Umiat, to
increase access to potential oil and gas
resources for exploration and
development along the northwestern
foothills of the Brooks Range, and
within the National Petroleum
Reserve—Alaska (NPR–A). The project
is considered an important investment
by the State of Alaska to further oil and
gas resource exploration and
development opportunities to benefit
Alaska’s economy.
The proposed Foothills Project area is
within the North Slope Foothills
Areawide Oil and Gas Lease Sale Area
between the Dalton Highway and Umiat.
The project area is within the North
Slope Borough; south of the Umiat
baseline (principal east-west line
dividing survey townships 1 north and
1 south of the Umiat Quadrangle,
Alaska), west of the Dalton Highway,
north of the Gates of the Arctic National
Park and Preserve, and east of the
National Petroleum Reserve—Alaska.
Construction components of this
project would include an all-season
gravel road, associated bridges and other
crossing structures (i.e., culverts), pullouts, maintenance facilities, temporary
construction camps, and material sites.
The road would be designed to safely
accommodate industrial traffic in arctic
conditions. Although the road may be
closed to the public during periods of
exploration, development and
production activities, the road may
eventually be open to the general
public. Depending upon the final route
alignment, there could be up to six
major river crossings. These are the
Anaktuvuk, Chandler, Colville, Itkillik,
Kuparuk, and Toolik rivers. Bridges and
other crossing structures would be
designed to accommodate industrial
activities and weight loads associated
with oil and gas pipelines. While
subsequent efforts by industry to
develop infrastructure such as oil and

Jkt 223001
gas pipelines and their associated
components are reasonably foreseeable,
these elements are not proposed by this
action.
2. Alternatives. A reasonable range of
alternatives will be identified and
evaluated through scoping and the EIS
process. The DOT&PF has identified
several possible road corridors between
the Dalton Highway and Umiat within
the Foothills Project area, including a
preferred corridor that goes from
Galbraith Lake at milepost 278 on the
Dalton Highway and heads in a
northerly, and then northwesterly, route
to Umiat. The intent of the DOT&PF is
to identify a feasible corridor that
concurrently accesses areas with high
oil and gas potential, minimizes the
distance between the road corridor and
likely exploration areas, and traverses as
much state land as possible. One or
more corridors will be identified
through scoping. Within the corridor(s),
additional analysis would be conducted
to determine optimal road alignments
and river crossing locations.
3. Scoping Process. The scoping
period will begin on May 20, 2011 and
end on July 5, 2011.
a. Public involvement. The Corps
invites full public participation to
promote open communication on the
issues to be addressed regarding the
proposed action. All Federal, state,
Tribal, and local agencies, and other
interested persons or organizations with
an interest are urged to participate in
the NEPA scoping process. Scoping
meetings will be held to receive public
input on the development of proposed
alternatives to be reviewed in the EIS,
and to identify significant issues to be
analyzed.
b. Scoping meetings. The Corps plans
to hold scoping meetings in Anaktuvuk
Pass, Anchorage, Barrow, Fairbanks,
and Nuiqsut. Information about these
meetings and meeting dates will be
published locally, posted at https://
www.foothillswesteis.com, or available
by contacting the Corps as described
above. A description of the proposed
project will be posted on the project
Web site prior to these meetings to help
the public focus their scoping
comments.
4. Major Issues To Be Analyzed in the
DEIS. The DEIS will analyze the
potential social, economic, physical,
and biological impacts on the affected
areas. The following major issues will
be analyzed in depth in the DEIS: road
construction and operation and its effect
on the surrounding communities; water
resources; fish and wildlife; cultural and
subsistence resources; hazardous
materials; human health;

socioeconomics; and secondary and
cumulative impacts.
5. Other Environmental Review and
Consultation Requirements. Other
environmental review and consultation
requirements include: Magnuson
Stevens Act for Essential Fish Habitat
identification, Executive Order 13175
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments; Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966; Section 9 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act of 1899; and subsistence
uses in accordance with Section 810 of
the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA).
6. Land Ownership. The lands within
the Foothills Project area are mostly
state lands, but also include Federal
lands administered by the BLM, Arctic
Slope Regional Corporation lands, and
private lands.
7. Estimated Date DEIS Available to
Public. It is anticipated that the DEIS
will be available June 2012 for public
review.
