Filings from federal, state and municipal agencies, environmental and business groups and the public piled in on the last two days for comment on the Alaska LNG project’s draft environmental impact statement. And while most public comments were supportive of the state-led undertaking to move North Slope gas to market, several filings pointed to deficiencies in the review.
