The proposed 16 -inch 95.30 mile (59.47 miles on BLM-administered lands) natural gas liquids pipeline would expand current capacity by 15,000 barrels per day resulting from increased natural gas liquids production in Utah and Wyoming. The proposed pipeline would parallel existing pipelines for its entire length. The proposed pipeline route crosses private lands, state lands, and federal lands administered by the BLM Moab (29.63 miles), Grand Junction (22.02 miles), White River (7.46 miles), and Vernal (0.36 mile) field offices. The location of the proposed pipeline route is shown in Appendix A of the Plan of Development. Enterprise MAPL estimates that construction would begin on or about July 15, 2012 and would take approximately 6 months to complete. Enterprise MAPL is requesting a 50 -foot wide permanent right-of-way on BLM-administered lands for a total length of 314,002 feet (59.47 miles) which is 363.23 acres. Enterprise MAPL is requesting the ROW Grant for a term of 30 years. 8 Attach a map covering area and show location of project proposal 9.
