- David R. Butcher, "Drill or No Drill?" ThomasNet 11/21/06 - "The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has found that, despite widespread concern about spills, most spills have had 'only local effects,' NAM says. Large-magnitude spills generally have been avoided on the North Slope because of the system of monitoring and check valves in all pipelines. The NAS found that, as of its report, the effects of contaminant spills had not accumulated on North Slope vegetation."
