The FPC staff has prepared this environmental impact statement on the competing proposals by El Paso Alaska Company and Western LNG Terminal Company which collectively constitute the El Paso Alaska System. This system would carry natural gas by an 809-mile chilled, underground pipeline from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska south across the state to a port site at Port Gravina on Prince William sound. A liquefaction plant, at Port Gravina would convert the gaseous natural gas to liquefied natural gas (LNG) which would then be transported by a fleet of eleven LNG tankers to western LNG's receiving terminal and regasification plant located at Point Conception in southern California. After regasification, the natural gas would be transmitted by pipeline to existing pipeline systems for delivery to markets in the United States. Volume I contains comparative economic and environmental analyses of the Arctic Gas and El Paso Alaska Systems.
