I still have problems on who owns what at the Prudhoe Bay and Kaparuk
Oil fields on Alaska's North Slope. Some of it must be owned by the
State of Alaska and some by the Native cor****ations. But ANWR
apparently is owned by the Federal Government. I do know that the
trans-Alaska pipeline crosses both federal and state land. I think
the operating pump stations are all on federal land now. Just why
only pump stations on federal land are operating might have something
to do with taxation. For instance Pump 8 that was shut down many
years ago was in the North Star Borough that has a property tax. It
is also interesting to note that the Alyeska headquarters off Cushman
Street in Fairbanks is actually on Doyon Land. This also may be
because there is a $20,000 tax credit per individual per year for
employing natives on native land. Right after Alyeska moved to the
new headquarters there was a drive to hire natives by Alyeska.
