Alaska OCS socioeconomic studies program, technical report number 52. Bering-Norton petroleum development scenarios transportation systems analysis. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6029514
The purpose of the report is to present and discuss transportation impacts of potential oil and gas development resulting from proposed federal outer continental shelf (OCS) lease sale number 57, located in the Bering Sea-Norton Sound area of Alaska. The study of transportation impacts is one of several key study elements of a larger integrated effort to evaluate the broad range of possible socio-economic impacts of the Bering-Norton lease sale. In turn, this series of Bering-Norton studies is part of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Alaska OCS Socio-economic Studies Program (SESP), which seeks to evaluate all federal OCS lease sales planned for Alaska. The study of regional marine and aviation system impacts was prepared for use by BLM decision makers in various steps of the Federal OCS management process. Particular emphasis is placed on making the methodological and existing conditions sections of the report useful as input to the environmental impact statement (EIS) and secretarial issue document (SID), which must be prepared for the Bering-Norton sale.
