Show Notes
Thirty-seven years after the Exxon Valdez spill, Alaska officials propose delisting eleven sites from polluted waters list. These areas, including Sleepy Bay and Knight Island, have oil too broken down and buried to harm water quality. The state consolidates affected sites from thirty-six to sixteen, with five still impaired. Public comment period runs through April sixth. Meanwhile, efforts to clean up waters statewide continue, with improvements to two rivers and addition of one urban creek to worst category due to bacteria issues.
