This August, ACN supported the North Slope Borough (NSB) by providing support for a fuel release into secondary containment at the fuel facility in Point Lay. Working with the NSB and Umiaq Environmental, the ACN crew recovered approximately 7,500 gallons of oil/water mix, separated and filtered the water out, and returned the fuel back into a tank for use.
