Introduction The Oil and Hazardous Substance Release Prevention and Response Fund (Response Fund) was created by the legislature in 1986 to provide a readily available funding source to investigate, contain, clean up and take other necessary action to protect public health and welfare and the environment from the release or threatened release of oil or a hazardous substance. Alaska Statute 46.080.030 states: “ It is the intent of the legislature and declared to be the public policy of the state that funds for the abatement of a release of oil or a hazardous substance will always be available.” (SLA 1986 Sec.1 Ch. 59). Statutes governing the Response Fund were amended in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1994, 1999, and 2006. Generally, these amendments increased the purposes for which the Response Fund could be used and increased the Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) reporting requirements. In addition, the 1994 amendment made major changes to the Response Fund structure by dividing the Response Fund into two separate accounts: the “response” account and the “prevention” account. The diagram on page 3 illustrates the current structure of the Response Fund. The 1999 amendment changes the requirement for an annual report to the legislature on the status of the fund to a biennial report. The 2006 amendment changed the surcharge levied on crude oil produced in the state. HB3001C amended Sec. 28 of AS 43.55.300 and imposed a prevention account surcharge of $.04 (formerly $.03) per barrel of oil produced from each lease or property in the state, less any oil the ownership or right to which is exempt from taxation. Sec. 26 of AS 43.55.201 was also amended to change the response account surcharge of $.02 to a $.01 per barrel of oil produced from each lease or property in the state. Response Account The Response Account may be used to finance the state’s response to an oil or hazardous substance release disaster declared by the governor, or to address a release or threatened release that poses an imminent and substantial threat to the public health or welfare, or to the environment. To access the Response Account for any incident other than a declared disaster, DEC must notify the governor and the Legislative Budget and Audit Committee within 120 hours of using the money from this account. The Response Account was financed with a two cent per barrel surcharge and money recovered from responsible parties until March 31, 2006. Effective April 1, 2006, House Bill 3001C changed the surcharge tax of $.02 per barrel to a $.01 per barrel imposed on all oil produced from each lease or property in the state. This surcharge is in addition to the four cent surcharge that finances the Prevention Account. The surcharge is suspended when $50 million is reached from the combined balances of the surcharge account, the response mitigation account and the unreserved and unobligated balance in the Response Account. The $50 million balance was exceeded in December, 1994 and the surcharge was suspended as of April, 1995. 1 Prevention Account The Prevention Account may be used to respond to oil and hazardous substance releases that have not been declared a disaster by the governor. In addition, the Prevention Account is used to fund Alaska’s oil and hazardous substance prevention and response programs. The legislature appropriates money from the Prevention Account to support DEC and other state agencies for spill prevention response and preparedness planning activities (AS46.08.040(a)(2). The Prevention Account was financed with a three cent per barrel surcharge and fines, settlements, penalties and interest thru March 31, 2006. Effective April 1, 2006, House Bill 3001C changed the surcharge tax of $.03 per barrel to $.04 per barrel imposed on all oil produced from each lease or property in the state. 2 Oil & Hazardous Substance Release Prevention and Response Fund (OHSRPRF) 1¢ 4¢ GENERAL FUND | SURCHARGE ACCOUNT1 | 2 AS 43.55. 01 SURCHARGE ACCOUNT 2 | AS 43.55.300 (Suspended @ $50 million) | | | | | | | | RESPONSE MITIGATION ACCOUNT | PREVENTION MITIGATION ACCOUNT AS 46.08.025 (b ) | AS 46.08.020 (b) | | Cost Recovery, funding received from Cost recovery, fines, penalties, | state, federal or private sources. settlements, funding from state, | federal or private sources. | | | | Oil & Hazardous Release Prevention and Response Fund AS 46.08.010(a) | | | | | | PREVENTION RESPONSE | ACCOUNT ACCOUNT | AS 46.08.020 | AS 46.08.025 | | | | Legislative Emergency Uses | Appropriation | AS 46.08.040(a)(1) | AS 46.08.040(a)(2) USES: USES: * Investigate, evaluate, contain, cleanup, monitor and assess a * Investigate, evaluate, contain, and cleanup a release or threatened release of release or threatened release of oil or hazardous substance that oil or hazardous substances. poses an imminent and substantial threat to public health or welfare * Establish and maintain spill response capability. or the environment. * Review oil discharge prevention and contingency plans. * Match federal funds for release. * Maintain spill response contracts and agreements. * Recover cost to the state, a municipality, a village, or a school * Conduct training, response exercises, inspections, and tests. district for cleanup. * Verify or establish preparedness of the state. * Recover state costs. * Verify proof of financial responsibility. * Acquire, repair and improve spill response equipment caches. * Prepare, review and revise regional and state spill plans and local Hazmat plans 1 House Bill 3001C amended AS 43.55.201 Sec. 26 and changed the Surcharge from $.02 to $.01 effective * Participate in federal oil discharge cleanup activities. 4/1/2006 * Assess effects of a release. * Recover state costs. 2 House Bill 3001C amended AS 43.55.300 Sec. 28 and changed the Surcharge from $.03 to $.04 effective * Restore the environment. 4/1/2006 Revision Date: 12/4/2006 3 This page intentionally left blank 4 Table A summarizes expenditures and year-end obligations for appropriations funded by the Oil and Hazardous Substance Release Prevention and Response Fund (Response Fund) in Fiscal Year 2005 and 2006.

  • NPS Report on Campground Improvement Strategy
    National Park Service US Department of the Interior Park Planning, Facilities and Lands Managing the Second Century of Campgrounds in the National Park Service Campground Industry Trends Reports Introduction Campgrounds provide a low-cost and unique opportunity for visitors to experience National Park Service (NPS) sites across the country. More than 330 million visitors explore parks annually, with tent, RV, and backcountry campers spending an estimated 7.9 million nights at park system campgrounds in 2018. Growing interest in expanding and supporting public recreational access supports the need to fully understand, optimally manage, and strategically invest in campgrounds throughout the NPS. Enhancing Transparency and Consistency in Decision-Making The National Park Service must ensure its investment, modernization, and campground operating models appropriately reflect parks’ unique circumstances, markets, and visitor expectations. The NPS does not plan to modernize every campground but would like to make smart, consistent decisions on when to modernize or rehabilitate a campground based on the park’s unique circumstances, local market and financial factors, visitor expectations, and applicable policies and regulations. To better understand these factors, the National Park Service is undertaking a study to generate an industry analysis, financial strategy, and operating model decision framework. Industry analysis: Two campground industry trends reports were contracted to provide an overview of national and regional camping markets and

  • Camp Fire Yarn No. 8
    CHAPTER III CAMP LIFE CAMP FIRE YARN NO. 8 PIONEERING Knot Tying — Hut-Building — Felling Trees — Bridging — Self-Measurement Judging Heights and Distances Pioneers are men who go ahead to open up a way in the jungle or elsewhere for those coming after them. When I was on service on the West Coast of Africa, I had command of a large force of native scouts, and, like all scouts, we tried to make ourselves useful in every way to our main army, which was coming along behind us. We not only looked out for the enemy and watched his moves, but we also did what we could to improve the road for our own army, since it was merely a narrow track through thick jungle and swamps. So we became pioneers as well as scouts. In the course of our march we built nearly two hundred bridges over streams, by tying poles together. But when I first set the scouts to do this important work I found that, out of the thousand men, a great many did not know how to use an axe to cut down trees, and, except one company of about sixty men, none knew how to make knots — not even bad knots. Saving Life with Knots Just before I arrived in Canada a number of years ago, an awful tragedy had happened at the Niagara Falls. It was mid-winter. Three people, a man and his wife and a boy of seventeen, were walking across a bridge which the ice had formed over the rushing river under the falls, when it suddenly began to crack and to break up.
