Kaktovik Tank Farm Release

November 25, 2022

Temporary tank structure setup by ACN team to store recovered fuel.

ACN supported the North Slope Borough (NSB) in late August providing support for fuel release into the secondary containment area at the fuel facility in Kaktovik. We worked in coordination with NSB Spill Response Coordinator and Umiaq Environmental. The team completed the recovery of oil, dewatered the secondary containment area of the spill site, and assisted with transferring fuel from damaged tanks to other storage tanks.
