Minutes for Team Meeting 11/2/03 (or 2/11/03 as the Americans should write it)
Present: everyone
Midterm Discussion of Pipeline and Road:
We need to know:
- distance from ANWR to Trans-Alaska pipeline- length of new pipeline and roads
- cost of building T-A pipeline
- length of T-A pipeline
- no. of laborers/people needed
- how long it will take them to build it (reoccurring construction needed?)
- location of pipeline/roads- environmental impact
- cost of land (rent- pay government)
what we know:
- unemployment rate in Alaska: 7.7%
- wage for petroleum workers: 21.49 dollars/hour
- proposal for pipeline from P. Bay along T-A pipeline to Canada= 2000 miles, cost of 10 billion dollars
- natives are less expensive than importing people= less infrastructure
- 25 miles for feeder pipeline from 1002 to T-A pipeline
- need road style and specifications
