North Slope Oil The 1970 ' s begins a new era for Alaska filled with growth, development and progress; and yet it is an era Alaskans are regarding with mixed emotions. The discovery of oil at Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope has been the primary cause for Alaska ' s growth both internally and in prestige. The North Slope is a 70,000 square mile area which extends some 500 miles east to west and 50 to 200 miles north to south from the Brooks Range to the Arctic Ocean. Sizable portions of the North Slope have been set aside by the federal government as a Naval petroleum reserve and a wildlife range. Between these two preserves, both state and federal acreage has been opened for petroleum exploration and pro- duction. It was in this area, at Prudhoe Bay, near the ' Beaufort Sea, that the big Alaska oil reserves were found. Much of the controversy over the oil discovery in the North Slope area is in the field of conservation. The problems with the permafrost, the tundra, the grazing areas for the wild game and the nesting grounds for many species of waterfowl have not been solved. There is also a threat to the wildlife and the vegetation of an oil spill or a breakage in the Trans Alaska Pipeline System, which is soon expected to receive its ok on construction. To some Alaskans these problems raise the question of the value and worth of progress. Yet to other Alaskans this is a dream still in its beginning phases; the progress has been long in coming and the expectations and hopes for the future of Alaska are great. An oil rig, one of approximately 50 completed, dot the North Slope.
