Core Services
- Protect public health and the environment by identifying, overseeing, and conducting the cleanup, redevelopment, and management of contaminated sites in Alaska.
- Protect public safety, public health, and the environment and ensure that producers, transporters, and distributors of crude oil and refined oil products prevent oil spills and are fully prepared materially and financially to clean up spills.

Target #1: 50% of high risk and 20% of non-high risk contingency plan holders are inspected or evaluated for oil discharge prevention annually..
The Department acknowledges all facilities or vessels required to have an ODPCP represent a level of inherent risk to the environment and public health in Alaska. For this performance measure, ODPCPs are categorized as High Risk and Non-high Risk. Facilities and vessels designated as High Risk in the state include those that are engaged in exploration, production, refinement, and transport of crude oil. All other ODPCPs are categorized as Non-high Risk. The auditing, inspecting, or testing of the Non-high-Risk facilities and their contingency plans is also important and contributes to ongoing prevention and response readiness. This performance measure tracks inspections at the ODPCP level and doesn`t capture all prevention efforts because a single ODPCP can cover multiple facilities for the same operator. Therefore, the performance measure doesn`t reflect inspections or exercises at multiple facilities under a single plan or multiple inspections at a single, complex, facility (i.e., the Trans Alaska Pipeline) during the fiscal year. During, FY2023 there were 123 ODPCPs operational in Alaska. Of these, 36 plans were classified as High Risk and 87 were classified as Non-high Risk. For High Risk ODPCPs, 44% were inspected or had an exercise and for ODPCPs classified as Non-high Risk, 30% were inspected or had an exercise during the reporting period. The Department conducted 52 inspections and 22 exercises with ODPCP holders for a total of 74 prevention measures with ODPCP holders during the reporting period; 42 were under unique ODPCPs and used in the reporting metric. Thirteen ODPCPs had more than one inspection and/or exercise at their facilities during the reporting period. Complex High Risk ODPCPs such as the Valdez Marine Terminal (n=8), North Slope Alaska Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Operations (n=7) and Hilcorp North Slope Production (n=4) had multiple inspections, and each had at least one exercise. The department routinely leveraged travel to conduct multiple facility inspections while traveling to conduct an exercise. Target Last Modified: 11/16/2023 |
