Continued from Page 13 Alyeska officials say that was based on previous experience in the lower 48 and consequently was not realistic. The Alyeska officials blame much of the escalated Cost on the four year delay be tween the proposal and the granting of per Mission. The combinations of government Moni Toring the extreme climatic conditions the monumental logistics and the Pioneer ing aspects of this project Are such that one must be very Brash to jump to a conclusion that it could have been done at a lower costed Patton. Chairman and chief executive officer of Alyeska said in a recent speech. Patton pleaded for greater official understanding in future projects pointing out the problems faced by the builders were not All posed by nature. In building and preparing to operate the trans Alaska pipeline we have had to obtain permits from 56 different govern ment agencies. This is ridiculous. Future projects should be More Realis tic in what we Call the compounding of risks. One should not have to design for a combination of the world s greatest flood occurring simultaneously with the world s greatest fire. That does t happen. One example will suffice our structural design is such that the world s greatest earthquake occurring directly beneath any Structure would not cause Oil  an earthquake measured at 8.s on the Richter scale razed Anchorage March 27, 1964. Killing 114 persons. The concern Over Protection of the environment whether court ordered or adopted by the Alyeska company at its own initiative was shown through out construction. In the Early Days even human wastes were flown out of Alaska to treatment plants in the lower 48. A Beaver Pond was careful ii relocated. Construction was held up near Chandalar while a flock of wild sheep completed their lambing. One Camp and a Road were relocated to avoid a nesting area used by the Peregrine Falcon an endangered species. Alyeska planted 1.4 million Willow Cut Tings to hide the pipeline from wildlife. At certain Points the pipeline was buried for a stretch of 100 feet to accommodate a Cari Bou crossing. At Olner Points the pipeline was raised higher than usual so that Moose could pass underneath. To avoid disturbing some streams used by spawning Salmon construction workers waited until the streams were Frozen solid and then passed the pipe deep underneath. When crude Oil emerges from the ground it has a temperature of about 180 degrees. As it travels through the pipeline it will be Al about 140 degrees. So at three Points along the tube. Alyeska has in stalled refrigeration equipment to keep the buried line from melting the Tundra. Safety precautions Are a continuous concern. Alyeska has set up a Multi Mulios Dollar Security Force designed to move in a matter of minute if Ever the pipeline develops a leak or a tire. Sections can be closed off by 151 valves positioned along the pipeline and a com Puter terminal in Valdez will Monitor the Clow of Oil at All times. Security against sabotage is More difficult to guarantee. The steel pipe will resist an accidental Bullet but Patton warned there is always going be some kind of nut who could do some  going into the last phase of his Job constructing the pipeline Patton commented remember the trans Alaska Oil pipe line As the largest privately funded Ven Ture in history. Remember it As probably the largest peacetime logistics Chau Enge in history the greatest single Advance ment to Date in the Art of environmental Protection As an i p Iulg engine Fiji Page 14 the stars and stripes achievement and As a Roc Worent to the labors of the nearly 70.000 individual who had some part in making it a reality. And remember it As the Job that was finished As we said it would be on  tuesday
