Dear Former Representative Ralph Samuels;
With interest in becoming this state’s governor, how do you now feel about the “Independents” as you and Representative Meyers elaborated upon with praise in a legislative update on October 26, 2007? With Pioneer Natural Resources under a 3rd party investigation, requested by the AOGCC, for questionable waste disposal and air pollution waste, not to mention dead birds found at its Oooguruk drill site in the Beaufort Sea, is this what we really want from outsiders? Remember, Pioneer was the 1st Independent to brave the “North Slope” and the legislature was hoping for success. So $300,000 of state money is being spent for this investigation, or wasted, because this so-called “Independent” thought that it didn’t have to worry about the rules of the road when operating in Alaska. Is this what we want from the Independents, these small “mom & pops” that not only garnish royalty relief but bring to the “Last Frontier” an interest in capturing the interest of the legislature in efforts to change the entire oil field infrastructure, for the worst! But when the state can charge British Petroleum $4-million for oversight and charge ConocoPhillips $3-million for oversight but Pioneer gets away with a measly $2500 dollars a year for similar oversight, you get what you pay for and in this case it appears to be a no give a crap attitude towards the environment. Bottom line, when the state ignited the “Open for Business Drill Baby Drill” good-ol boy invite, we find that we are investing in interests that may not care our demand for respect, and when they get away with it, it seems like your crying out loud “We need them” idea backfired, as it is not worth it, especially for only pennies on the dollar from our resources and a mindset that places the environment at risk. So please Don’t follow in Palin’s footsteps, that these Independents are needed now and forever, amen, and realize that what may have sounded good, isn’t!
For Our Environment ~ Uncovering Public Trust Doctrine Violators on Alaska's Frontier
THIS SITE HISTORICAL:
In 2008 through 2010, an "Independent mom & pop" oil company violated the "Alaskan Public Trust" doctrine, allowing malfeasance and environmental atrocities upon the "Last Frontier". This "blog" is dedicated to follow the outcome of the illegal activities that have now become front and center attention before the regulators in charge of making sure the "Public Trust" is upheld, as a centralized forum to make sure Alaskans and others are kept abreast of penalties and fines upon those that feel Alaska is the "Last Frontier Dumping Grounds".
The above image depicts a crude oil well flow-back test, wherein for days hydrocarbon saturated "wet" natural gas was allowed to vent to the atmosphere out a safety relief valve, with temperatures and ambient conditions such that the "wet" vapors most likely condensed and fell upon the pristine waters of Harrison Bay of the Colville River delta, a place so far removed from man-made pollution. This image is also the cover photo of the report called "Alaska's Deadliest Sin", a culmination of malfeasance and environmental corruption evidence upon this Independent, collected by an ex-employee who has made it a personal "mission" to make sure this kind of irresponsible behavior is stopped and never again repeated on this "Frontier". To date, the company – Pioneer Natural Resources - has attempted to deny all allegations, but the evidence allowing denial is too strong. With that, the company has started to admit true so serious these violations. They have admitted their actions are indeed a violation of "Public Trust". With a 3rd party ongoing investigation following the submittal of the "Sin", the end result should be stiff fines and penalties upon the perpetrators, that which sends a message to those that want to "Go North" for oil exploration and exploitation.
"Drill Baby Drill" is upon us, thanks to Sarah Palin and others, and we must stand up against this all out blitzkrieg assault upon the ecosystem, to protect the environment from continued malfeasance and environmental atrocities, as it is not worth another Love Canal!
