	Alyeska consortium
		Alyeska was founded in 1970 to design and construct the pipeline to transport oil from the fields in northern Alaska where oil was discovered in 1968.
		It was built between March 1975 and June 1977, running from the North Slope fields at Prudhoe Bay[?] to the Marine Terminal at Valdez on Prince William Sound.
		Alyeska applied for a renewal of the right of way lease in 2001 and there are not expected to be any problems with the state or federal agencies.

	[R-G] A well-designed disaster: the untold story of the Exxon Valdez
		A U.S. federal judge told Alyeska this conduct was "reminiscent of Nazi Germany." Cheaper Than Manhattan BP’s inglorious role in the Alaskan oil game began in 1969 when the oil group bought the most valuable real estate in all Alaska, the Valdez oil terminal land, from the Chugach natives.
		Alyeska kept the natives at the terminal for two years – long enough to help Alyeska break the strike of the dock workers’ union – then quietly sacked the entire team.
		The BP-led Alyeska consortium was able to settle all claims for 2 percent of the acknowledged damage, roughly a $50 million payout, fully covered by an insurance fund.

	About Us
		A consortium of oil companies planning to produce the oil determined that a pipeline offered the best means to transport crude oil from the North Slope to a navigable port in southern Alaska where it could be shipped by tanker to refineries in the continental United States.
		The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, named after the Aleut word Alyeska meaning mainland, was established in 1970 and charged with designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining the Trans Alaska Pipeline System, commonly called TAPS.
		Alyeska Pipeline spends over $60 million annually to oil spill prevention and response in Prince William Sound, and has dedicated over 300 personnel to this effort, mostly through its Ship Escort/Response Vessel System (SERVS).

	10/22/89 - BLUEPRINT FOR DISASTER: DESPITE YEARS OF WARNINGS FROM ITS FIELD STAFFERS ABOUT ALYESKA'S POOR OIL SPILL ...
		Alyeska, the consortium of seven oil companies that own the pipeline and Valdez terminal, cannot legally operate its shipping facility without state approval of a plan to deal with oil spills in Port Valdez and Prince William Sound.
		Alyeska complained that to deploy that much boom "would be like the Normandy invasion," according to a state summary of a March 1977 meeting between regulators and industry.
		On Oct. 17, 1984, Alyeska invited state and federal officials to observe a drill in which Alyeska pretended a tanker spilled oil at the dock, and surrounded the "spill" with boats, booms and skimmers.

	Crude Behavior
		In a recent deposition, John Dayton, Alyeska's senior vice president of operations, estimated that a "total failure of the integrity of the line at the wrong spot"could spill 40,000 to 50,000 barrels of oil.
		Alyeska's fleet of mobile cargo tankers carry a plethora of hazardous materials across Alaska's roads and must be regularly inspected according to Department of Transportation guidelines.
		Alyeska is seeking to cut costs through new "quality generalist"positions that will give inspectors responsibility for a wider range of equipment, much of it potentially beyond their expertise.

	Assignment #2
		In 1984, the DEC tested Alyeska’s readiness to respond to an oil spill by simulating a spill of 60 barrels during the loading process (they used oranges instead of oil).
		In 1987, Alyeska was required to submit a new contingency plan for dealing with an oil spill (a plan was required every three years).
		From talking to Alyeska workers and officials, you have already figured out that Lawn’s combative attitude has made the people at Alyeska unwilling to cooperate with him or with the DEC in general.

		They were also told employees at the Alyeska operation admitted falsifying reports to the US government to conceal previous smaller spills.
		Alyeska employees who sent him information were fired.
		On the night of the Exxon Valdez disaster, the Alyeska consortium had neither the response teams nor the equipment to contain the spill quickly.

	[No title]
		The consortium of oil companies that own the pipeline have argued it is worth $1 billion, and municipalities that collect property tax from the system--the Fairbanks North Star and North Slope boroughs and the city of Valdez--say its assessed value should be closer to $5.6 billion.
		Alyeska is an Anchorage-based consortium that runs the 800-mile trans-Alaska oil pipeline and the Valdez tanker dock on behalf of five owner energy companies including BP, Exxon Mobil, Conoco Phillips, Chevron and Koch.
		Alyeska spokesman Mike Heatwole said it was difficult to comment on the allegations because many of the details aren't in Plumlee's letter to the Labor Department.

		Alyeska is an Anchorage-based consortium that runs the pipeline on behalf of five owners: BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil, Koch Industries and Unocal.
		Alyeska is rebuilding and automating several of the remote pump stations that push North Slope crude oil down the pipeline, which started operating in 1977 and carries 13 percent of total U.S. oil production daily.
		Alyeska already has asked for volunteers to take a severance package, but Heatwole said he couldn't say how many people had done so.

		The document blasts the irresponsibility of both Exxon and the Alyeska Pipeline consortium, holding that the Exxon Shipping Company's poor management and Alyeska's "massive failure" in responding to the spill greatly contributed to its cause and severity.
		Exxon heralded its response to the Valdez grounding as "immediate and appropriate," and found that none of its managerial policies, including its drug and alcohol policy and the standards for size and proficiency of tanker crews, were contributing factors.
		Alyeska, the consortium of seven oil companies charged with preparing and executing appropriate oil spill contingency plans, performed equally well in its own eyes.

	(3/29/99) Don't Buy Exxon's Fable of the Drunken Captain
		In a secret meeting in April 1988, Alyeska Vice-President T.L. Polasek confidentially warned the oil group executives that, because Alyeska had never purchased promised safety equipment, it was simply "not possible" to contain an oil spill past the Valdez Narrows -- exactly where the Exxon Valdez ran aground 10 months later.
		Alyeska hired the Natives, especiallly qualified by their generations-old knowledge of the Sound, for this emergency work.
		To deflect inquisitive state inspectors, the oil consortium created sham teams, listing names of oil terminal workers who had not the foggiest idea how to use spill equipment which, in any event, was missing, broken or existed only on paper.

		However, a key legal issue facing the whistleblowers is whether Alyeska's obligations extend to its contractors and whether Alyeska controls its contractors' actions.
		Alyeska stands at the center of a complex web of contractors who provide construction, engineering and inspection services.
		Despite the fact that they are contract employees, the inspectors worked in Alyeska facilities, took orders from Alyeska managers and used Alyeska trucks and equipment.

		One of the conditions on which the Trans Alaska Pipeline was constructed was that Alyeska submit an oil spill response plan.
		According to that plan, Alyeska would be at the site with response equipment within five hours of the spill.

		ANWR would be drilled by Alyeska, which is a consortium of oil companies that has effective monopoly power in Alaskan oil operations.
		Indeed, the alternative which Alyeska has been fighting is to declare the entire ANWR area a "wilderness area," which would give it protection equivalent to Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon.
		In terms of political power, Alyeska is understandably more willing to lobby harder to keep their $4.5 billion than most citizens are willing to lobby hard to keep their $2.40.
