Chickaloon Coal Field- UPDATE!
The Alaska Natural Gas Development Authority has received a Right-of-Way permit across the length of the Matanuska Valley for the purpose of building a natural gas spurline.
DNR issued this permit even though there is no "big" gasline to supply the spur, and there is no endpoint built to receive the gas.
This project is entirely government-subsidized and just keeps getting more expensive.
The ROW is 300 feet wide, cutting through dozens of miles of backcountry and providing unrestricted easy access to sensitive areas.
Recently, ANGDA has declared their intention for the proposed pipeline is to be built entirely above ground, instead of completely buried.
ANGDA will be continuing studies and beginning site-work for the ROW this summer.
