Back to EpisodesAlaska Proposes to Remove Oil Spill Sites from Polluted Waters List
Description
Alaska officials propose delisting eleven oil-affected sites from polluted waters list, thirty-seven years after Exxon Valdez spill. Oil in these areas has broken down, buried, and stabilized, no longer posing a threat to water quality. Some well-known areas like Sleepy Bay and Knight Island bays could shift from impaired status to fully meeting standards. The state has consolidated Exxon Valdez sites from thirty-six to sixteen, with just five still listed as impaired. Public comments on the draft list are welcome until April sixth.
