8/28/06 AFER posts missing ADEC/BP Corrosion Reports
Concerned Individual Advocate Chuck Hamel posted the missing and altered Coffman BP Corrosion Reports on the Project On Government Oversight (POGO.org) web site:
http://www.pogo.org/p/environment/AlaskanPipeline.html .
From the POGO web site:
Alaska North Slope
For over two decades, POGO Board member Chuck
Hamel has fought to expose and remedy fraud and other misconduct involving the
Trans-Alaska Pipeline and North Slope crude production facilities. He has worked
alongside whistleblowers from oil companies and government regulatory agencies
alike. His allegations of the disfunctional corrosion control at Prudhoe Bay,
among other deficiencies, have been proven true by the recent shutdown of much
of BP's Prudhoe Bay operations. Below are documents he has recently released.
AFER has re-posted the information here:
