Drilling planned in untapped Alaska oil reserve By Yereth Rosen, AlertNet
The BLM may also allow drilling in and around the vast Teskekpuk Lake, which sits near the Arctic coastline and is currently off-limits to development. Until now, its shores were considered too important to birds, caribou and wildlife to allow oil rigs.
Critics say the BLM is caving to companies pushing to cut costs. They point to the specifics of the new rules for the northwest section, such as the allowance for gravel roads and airstrips if they are 'necessary to carry out exploration more economically' and drilling in rivers or streams if 'it is determined that there is no feasible or prudent alternative.'------------------------------------------- posted 10:00 AM :: reference link ::
