Alyeska Responds
to Waste Spill
Alyeska Pipeline responded to a solid
waste spill on the Richardson Highway on Thursday, August 27, after a waste container slid
off of a flatbed trailer heading toward Fairbanks. The source of the 32,000 pounds of
waste was Alyeska’s Ballast Water Treatment Facility at the Valdez Marine Terminal.
The waste was being transported to Fairbanks for incineration when the incident occurred.
Approximately 99 percent of the material
has been recovered. The contractor responsible for managing the waste will complete the
remainder of the clean up of the site.
The incident is under investigation.
