New air-quality rules possible for Alyeska

Alyeska is already reorganizing its operations to cope with reduced oil flow through the line, said spokesman Mike Heatwole. That reorganization is likely to include changes at the ballast-water-treatment plant, which is processing less water as oil flow drops, he said.

The peak oil flow of 2 million barrels a day is now down to half that, because major oil fields on the North Slope are mature and in decline.
