Oil & Gas Permitting Process• Most work:
– Exploration licenses, – Lease sales, – Plans of Operation
• Linking of BIF and ACMP review

Oil & Gas Permitting Process
• North Slope Areawide Best Interest Finding (BIF)• Need BIF every 10 years• 4/19 published the 10 year Preliminary BIF and
“Consistency Analysis”• 90-day public comment• Public hearings• FBIF Proposed CD• 10 days, Final CD
State of Alaska Division of Oil and Gas
Mitigation Measures• AS 38.05.035(e): Director has authority “to impose conditions or
limitations, in addition to those imposed by statute, to ensure that a resource disposal is in the state's best interests.”
• DOG conditions plans of operation, exploration, or development and other permits based on these mitigation measures.
• These measures were developed after considering terms imposed in earlier competitive lease sales and comments and information submitted by the public, local governments, environmental organizations, and other federal, state, and local agencies.
• Additional measures will likely be imposed when lessees submit a proposed plan of operations.
• The most recent mitigation measures will be applied to all operations, regardless of when the lease was issued.

Single Agency vs. OPMP Coordinated Review
• DOG performs single agency review where
• DOG approval is only state agency authorization necessary other than DEC permits
31
State of Alaska Division of Oil and Gas
Plan of Operations (11 AAC 83.158/.346)• Must contain sufficient information for the commissioner
to determine the surface use requirements and impacts directly associated with the proposed operations.
• Must contain statements/maps depicting:– the sequence and schedule of the operations– projected use requirements directly associated with proposed
ops– location and design of well sites, material sites, water supplies,
solid waste sites, buildings, roads, utilities, airstrips, and all other facilities and equipment necessary to conduct the proposed operations;
– a description of operating procedures designed to prevent or minimize adverse effects on natural resources/uses, historic/archeological sites, and public use areas

ACMP Review of POOs• North Slope: 90% are A and B List
reviews. • Cook Inlet: Mostly Single Agency Reviews.
No A/B List.• Individual Project Reviews (OPMP
Coordinated)– Exploration Wells– Development (New Fields)– Expansion of Facilities (Satellites)
33
State of Alaska Division of Oil and Gas
Single Agency Review Example – Plan of Operations
• Pre-application meeting and identification of issues and authorizations necessary
• Applicant submits plan, CPQ, and Consistency Analysis addressing Statewide and Resource District Enforceable Policies, and other material
• DOG, OPMP and other resource agencies review application material and determine completeness and if OPMP or DOG coordinates review
34
State of Alaska Division of Oil and Gas
DOG Requests/Recommendations
• Finalizing ABC list would streamline Cook Inlet permitting, and to a lesser extent, NS
• Exploration wells on B list
• Predictability on single vs. coordinated agency review
