Coordinated Review

• Office of Project Management and Permitting

– Unique to the State of Alaska

• Coordinated projects include:

– Oil and Gas – Mining – Renewable energy – Federal planning – Transportation

• Assures that agency speak to each other and consider

each agencies perspective when making decisions

• Gives the State one voice

Coordination Goals

• Establish communication protocols between State agencies,

the public, applicant, feds, and other stakeholders

• Eliminate shot gun approach
• Make sure that each agency is making decisions using the

same and most current information

• Make sure each agency is aware of project activities and

review processes

• Reduce impacts by identifying and understanding agency

needs & requirements early on in the process allowing applicants to propose a project that considers those needs in the early stages of design

• Projects, if constructed, are better designed to consider all

agency needs early on in the process
