The Interior Department finalized its environmental review for ConocoPhillips' Willow project Wednesday, laying the groundwork for approval next month of what would be the nation's largest oil development on public lands.
Interior's supplemental environmental impact statement included a preferred alternative that would give developers up to three drill sites in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a vast stretch of oil-rich land on the state's North Slope. ConocoPhillips' development plan sought to set up five drill sites.
"ConocoPhillips’ Willow project represents a massive step backward on the path to achieving the president’s climate and environmental justice goals," said Mattea Mrkusic, a policy lead at environmental NGO Evergreen Action. ConocoPhillips' Willow project has been years in the making. The company won its first leases to develop the Willow area back in 1999, although it waited until 2018 to begin the development and permitting process.
