The actual route will be selected after satisfaction of <br /> <br />National Environmental Policy Act requirements leading to <br /> <br />preparation of the project environmental impact statement. <br /> <br />WESTRANS is now in the formative planning stage. <br /> <br />Feasibility-level market research, designs, cost estimates, <br /> <br />and financial analyses on a set of base cases have been <br /> <br />completed and a best case project selected. In the Planning <br />and Development Phase (1985-86), environmental scoping <br /> <br />activities will be conducted. Market, supply engineering, and <br /> <br />other feasibility studies will be performed. In the <br /> <br />Preconstruction Phase (1987-88), the environmental impact <br /> <br />statement will be prepared, testing of the liquid C02 <br />transport technology will be accomplished, and rights-of-way <br /> <br />and land acquisition activities will begin. Future phases <br /> <br />i nc1 ude: Detai 1 ed Engi neeri ng (1989-90), construction of <br />10 mil1ion-ton-per-year coal slurry pipeline (1990), and <br />expansion of pipeline capacity of 15 million tons (1995). <br /> <br />Schedules may be adjusted based on market commitments and <br /> <br />investments. <br /> <br />The estimated cost of the 10 mi11ion-ton-per-year system is <br /> <br />$1.16 million. Expansion to 15 million tons would involve an <br /> <br /> <br />additional $121 million, for a total project cost of <br /> <br />approximately $1.3 billion (1985 dollars). <br /> <br />2 <br />
