(DICKINSON, N.D.) – The Bureau of Land Management North Dakota Field Office is seeking public comments on an environmental assessment for the proposed BOE II crude oil pipeline project in McKenzie and Dunn Counties.
Comments will be accepted for a 30-day period ending on Nov. 5, 2017.
Bakken Oil Express Pipeline, LLC (BOE) filed a right-of-way application proposing to construct, operate, maintain and decommission the proposed BOE II Project, which would include construction of an approximately 42-mile-long, 16-inch-diameter welded steel crude oil pipeline.
The proposed pipeline would transport oil from a receipt facility near Johnson’s Corner to existing BOE facilities in Killdeer with ultimate delivery to BOE’s crude-to-rail terminal near Dickinson. The proposed pipeline would be buried and follow existing pipeline and utility easements to the extent practicable.
The environmental assessment and comment form are available on the BLM’s ePlanning website at http://bit.ly/2xDuMa7
The BLM is the designated lead federal agency and the U.S. Forest Service is a cooperating agency in the preparation of this document.
Those who provide comments are advised that before including their address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information, they should be aware that the entire comment – including their personal identifying information – may be made publicly available at any time. While those commenting can ask in their comments to withhold personal identifying information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that they will be able to do so.
For more information contact the North Dakota Field Office at (701) 227-7700.
