AK HB139

Allows the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation and its subsidiaries to construct, operate, and maintain gas pipelines within six protected state areas: Susitna Flats State Game Refuge, Minto Flats State Game Refuge, Captain Cook State Recreation Area, Nancy Lake State Recreation Area, Willow Creek State Recreation Area, and Denali State Park.

Grants the corporation the power of eminent domain to acquire private land within these protected areas necessary for gas pipeline development, subject to the same limitations that apply to the state.

Establishes that gas pipeline construction, operation, and maintenance within these protected areas is not an incompatible use and does not violate the primary conservation or recreation purposes of these areas.

Requires management plans for affected areas to identify gas pipeline right-of-way locations, easements, and access corridors when information becomes available.

Defines "gas pipeline" by reference to AS 31.25.390 and applies these provisions to both the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation and its subsidiaries.
