Presentation made by Contractor Susan Harvey to the PWSRCAC Board of Directors at its September 2014 meeting in Homer, to document the creation and evolution of the “best available technology” (BAT) statutes and regulations in Alaska. The requirement to use BAT for oil spill prevention and response has been a long-standing requirement in Alaska. Understanding the convoluted legislative, regulatory and interpretative history of BAT standards in Alaska is the first necessary step to understanding what has worked and what has not. The goal of this presentation is to help others gain a better understanding.
