Environmental assessment on Alaska`s North Slope

Conference ·
OSTI ID:391120

Since oil production began at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in 1977, numerous monitoring programs have examined the region`s biota in an effort to establish baseline conditions and support impact assessments. These programs are used to reduce or mitigate changes resulting from oil and gas development. North Slope exploration and production operations are governed by a complex set of regulations that often require monitoring. Monitoring programs are conducted annually to measure air emissions, water quality, and the distribution and abundance of wildlife within the operating areas.
