Alaska Yukon Gas Pipeline Delayed Two Years
The Lysyk Commission recommends delaying the Alaska Highway Pipeline through the Yukon by two years to August 1981 while allowing construction to proceed. It calls for settling all Yukon Indian land claims, an upfront $50 million to native claims, and Foothills Pipelines to fund $200 million to the Yukon Heritage Fund. A single regulatory body would set routes and oversee the project and mitigate social and economic impacts.
