Congress debates oil drilling in largest US wildlife refuge
By DAN JOLING
Associated Press
ANCHORAGE, Alaska —
Sometime next April, preg-
nant cows in the Porcupine
Caribou Herd in Canada will
take the lead in an annual
migration of nearly 200,000
animals north to Alaska.
From winter grounds in
Canada’s Yukon Territory, the
caribou traveling in small and
large groups will cross rivers
and gaps in the mighty Brooks
Range on the 400-mile jour-
ney. Their destination is the
coastal plain of the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge, a
strip of flat tundra between the
mountains and Arctic Ocean.
The plain provides food
and a vantage point from
which caribou can spot pred-
ators from far away. But
beneath the lichens and cot-
ton grass, there’s a hidden
resource: crude oil.
Opening the coastal plain
to petroleum drilling, with
the hope for jobs and new
oil for the trans-Alaska pipe-
line, has stood as a goal of
every Alaska governor and
the state’s members of Con-
gress for three decades. And
the opportunity is rising again
in federal budget discussions.
Congressional
Repub-
licans are pushing for ref-
uge drilling with a projected
$1 billion from lease sales to
help pay for President Don-
ald Trump’s proposed tax
cut. The Senate Energy and
Natural Resources Commit-
tee on Wednesday advanced
the drilling measure. Chair-
woman Lisa Murkowski, a
Republican U.S. senator, says
oil production later would
bring in much more revenue.
For three decades, envi-
ronmental groups have fought
opening oil development on
the plain —home to musk
oxen and polar bear dens.
“What this bill would do
is turn America’s last great
wilderness into a lost wil-
derness,” said Adam Kolton,
executive director of the
Alaska Wilderness League.
The refuge begins at
the Arctic Ocean with salt
marshes, barrier islands and
beaches and transitions to the
treeless coastal plain. About
25 miles from the ocean,
the Brooks Range rises, pro-
viding spectacular vistas
and habitat for Dall sheep,
wolves and grizzlies.
The Arctic National Wild-
life Refuge was created
in 1960 during President
Dwight Eisenhower’s admin-
istration. Congress in 1980
expanded the refuge to nearly
the size of South Carolina
with the provision that 2,300
square miles of the coastal
plain be studied for natural
resources.
The U.S. Geological Sur-
vey estimates the plain holds
10.4 billion barrels of oil,
which Murkowski calls North
America’s greatest prospect
for conventional petroleum
production.
Murkowski has promoted
legislation limiting drill
pads and other infrastructure
to 2,000 acres. But, while
exploratory wells could be
drilled only when caribou are
not present, production would
bring a web of drill pads con-
nected by roads and pipelines.
Matthew Rexford grew up
in the Inupiat Eskimo village
of Kaktovik on a Beaufort Sea
barrier island, the only village
within the refuge. His people
for centuries have survived
on caribou, fish and bow-
head whales, he said, but were
brought out of starvation and
third-world conditions by oil
development at nearby Prud-
hoe Bay.
Tax revenue to the local
borough, Alaska’s equivalent
of a county, provided money
for schools, clinics and ame-
nities taken for granted else-
where such as indoor plumb-
ing. Rexford supports drilling
in portions of the coastal plain.
