THE ALASKAN OIL DISPOSITION STUDY: POTENTIAL AIR QUALITY IMPACT OF A MAJOR OFF-LOADING TERMINAL IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

This study evaluates the air quality impact of a marine oil transfer terminal for Alaskan oil. It includes an evaluation of specified sites with regard to present emissions and air quality; the determination of the potential emissions associated with a major crude oil offloading facility; and a preliminary modeling analysis to assess the potential air quality problems which might be associated with the operation of such a port.
