Alaskas North Slope Requirements for Restoring Lands After Oil Production Ceases

Discusses the nature & extent of dismantlement, removal, & restoration (DR&R) requirements for oil industry activities that are occurring on both Fed. & state lands located on the North Slope (NS) of Alaska. Includes recommendations to the Sec. of the Interior aimed at ensuring that such lands managed by the Bureau of Land Mgmt. are properly restored after oil & gas activities cease. Chapters: current DR&R requirements for existing oil production are very general; actual cost of DR&R is unknown, but likely to cost billions of dollars; financial assurances that funds will be available for projected DR&R costs are limited; & specific DR&R requirements & improved financial assurances should be considered for NS Fed. lands.
