Reference: Issuance of Permanent Closure Approval for drilling waste reserve pits at
Kalubik Creek #1 and Kookpuk # 1 located on the North Slope
Dear Ms. Hammond:
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has completed review and public
notice for permanent closure approval of the inactive reserve pits at the above reference sites
located on the North. Slope. The closure applications and corrective action plans provided the
required information describing the history and conditions of the reserve pits, results of required
water sampling, and an assessment of the potential risks posed by the drilling waste to human
health and the environment. Both sites were inspected by ADEC and the landowner after
completion of the corrective actions to confirm the work was completed in accordance with the
approved plan. The reserve pits at these sites were capped with gravel and overburden. ADEC has
determined that the capped pits do not present a material or probable risk to the public health or the
environment.
Public notice requesting comments on closure approval was published September 29 and 30, 2004
in the Anchorage Daily News and posted on the ADEC web site September 29th 2004. No public
comments objecting to closure approval were received in response to this public notice. ADEC has
determined that the reserve pits at these sites meet the closure requirements of 18 AAC 60.440.
Closure Approval
Under authority of 18 AAC 60.440 G), ADEC grants permanent closure approval to Unocal Alaska
for the inactive reserve pits at:

Terms and Conditions
This permanent closure approval is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1)
In accordance with 18 AAC 60.440(1), the Department will require additional
investigation, assessment, monitoring or remediation if new information regarding
conditions at the reserve pit facilities indicates that further actions are necessary to
protect human health or the environment.
2)
The approval granted by this letter is for the inactive drilling waste reserve pits only.
Closure for the pad as a whole (if required) must be coordinated between the
owner/operator and the appropriate land owner/manager.
Any person who disagrees with this decision may request an adjudicatory hearing in accordance
with 18 AAC 15.195- 18 AAC 15.340 or an informal review by the Division Director in
accordance with 18 AAC 15.185. Informal review requests must be delivered to the Division
Director, 555 Cordova, Anchorage, Alaska, 99501 within 15 days of the permit decision.
Adjudicatory hearing requests must be delivered to the Commissioner of the Department of
Environmental Conservation, 410 Willoughby Avenue, Suite 303, Juneau, Alaska 99801, within
30 days of the permit decision. If a hearing is not requested within 30 days, the right to appeal is
waived.

Reference: Response to Kalubik Creek # 1 and Kookpuk # 1 Closure Plan Final Addendum
Dear Mr. Beitia:
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has completed review of Final Addendum to the
reserve pit closure plan for Kalubik Creek #1 and Kookpuk # 1 received March 15, 1999. This report presented a
qualitative discussion of material and probable risks to public health or the environment posed by the pits. This
addendum was necessary to address Alaska Water Quality exceedances identified in the previous closure plan submittals
and field inspections of the sites. The addendum report refers to the reserve pits as thermokarst ponds. Ground ice
melting has likely collapsed the base of the reserve pits and deepened the water impounds. However, the ponds are
constructed, below grade, open reserve pit impoundments that were never backfilled and contain diesel based drilling
muds in contact with ponded water. There is no evidence that the ponds'are enlarging with time and they appear to have
reached thermal equilibrium with the underlying permafrost.
The final addendum presents a case that the water quality exceedances at the site present no significant threat to human
health or the environment. This conclusion is based on an analysis of ingestion of the drilling waste by arctic foxes.
The analyses of composite samples of drilling muds collected from each of the reserve pits reported DRO levels in the
muds to be 1100mg/kg in the Kookpuk pit and 1800 mg/kg in the Kalubik pit. The leachate from these diesel based
muds is producing hydrocarbon sheen on the reserve pit water impoundments even after 30 years of exposure and
natural degradation. The addendum does not present an analysis of feasible corrective actions to reduce the
environmental impacts.
Unocal has not demonstrated that corrective action would not be a benefit to reduce the environmental impacts at the
sites. Under authority of 18 AAC 60.440 (i), ADEC requires corrective action of backfilling the pits before final closure
will be approved. The reserve pits must be backfilled with gravel and capped with a minimum of 2 feet of organic
overburden. The cap should be crowned to prevent continued water impoundment. Backfilling will allow the drilling
waste to freeze back into permafrost and prevent the release of hydrocarbon contamination. Gravel and overburden may
be purchased from ADNR at mine site E located in the Kuparuk Field.

,INTRODUCTION
Micropaleo Consultants, Inc. processed, picked and analyzed for Foraminifera
97 ditch samples from the UNOCAL Kookpuk No. 1 well. Thin sections were analyzed
on 31 ditch samples from 9250 to 10,193 feet T.D. This work was done as part of
M.C.I. Job Number 98-108.
Procedures
Standard techniques were used to process the material. All samples were boiled
in Quaternary-O and washed over 20 and 200 mesh screens. Frequency symbols
correspond to the following numerical values: very rare (1), rare (2 - 4), frequent (5 -
25), common (26 - 100), abundant (101 - 999) and prolific (1000+). The picked foram
slides and residues are reposited at the State of Alaska Geological Materials Center in
Eagle River, Alaska.
Certain factors such as shelf widths, basin configuration and overall basin depths
associated with Arctic Mesozoic basins are not completely understood at present. The
paleoenvironments presented in this report reflect relative basinal position only and
should not be tied to specific water depths. Generally, neritic corresponds to shelf or
deltaic environments, while'bathyal corresponds to slope or prodelta environments and
bathyal (starved basin) corresponds to distal (far from the source) deposition. As an
example, prodelta deposits could represent deposition as shallow as middle neritic or
as deep as bathyal (slope) depending on the delta type and shelf width. With a narrow
shelf, a river-dominated deltaic system could build across the shelf and the prodelta
deposits would be in a bathyal (slope) depth. A tide-dominated deltaic system
associated with a wide shelf could result in middle neritic prodelta deposition.
Format
A listing of the age, environment, fauna and occasional lithology comments for
each biostratigraphic interval follows. A generalized summary of the well is presented
in the Conclusions section at the end of the Foraminifera Report. A Foraminifera
Distribution Chart (Figure F-l) and a High Resolution Biostratigraphy Plot (Figure B-
1) containing foram diversity/abundance plots, a cumulative faunal plot and
paleoenvironmental plot(s) are in pockets at the back of this report.

INTRODUCTION
Purpose and Scope.
Micropaleo Consultants, Inc. examined for palynological study one (1) core and
108 ditch samples from the UNOCAL Kookpuk No. 1 well. The samples were taken
between 90 feet and the total depth of 10,192 feet.
Procedures
The prepared slides were originally examined at the Conservation Commission
Offices in Anchorage, Alaska. Currently, all of the slide material is on reposit at the
State of Alaska, Department on Natural Resources, Geological Materials Center in
Eagle Creek, Alaska.
As each sample was examined, an estimate of abundance for each taxon was
recorded. These data were input to a microcomputer that derives the high resolution
chart displays.
Based on the palynomorph assemblages observed, an age and generalized
environment of deposition are interpreted for the palynostratigraphic subdivisions. The
environments, as 'interpreted from the palynological preparations, are merely
categorized as nonmarine, marginal marine or marine. These categories are based on
the absence or presence and diversity of microplankton.
Report Format
The following Results section gives the age, environment of deposition and
significant palynomorphs for each palynostratigraphic subdivision. This is an expansion
of the brief Palynology Summary.
Following the Results are some general remarks in the Conclusions section.
A Palynomorph Distribution Chart (Figure P-l) is located in a pocket. This
chart records the occurrence and abundance of individual taxa in each sample.
Included on this chart are the diversity and abundance curves for spore-pollen and
microplankton cysts.
35
High Resolution Biostratigraphy Plots- Foraminifera/Palynomorphs (Figure B-l)
are also provided. Additional palynology parameters are given in the form of a
cumulative plot that illustrates the relative abundance of nonmarine, marine and
miscellaneous palynomorph constituents.

This section is tentatively separated based on the increase
in abundance of Oligosphaeridium complex and an increase
in species diversity.
The added appearance of Pseudoceratium nudum is
problematical. This species normally characterizes
Hauterivian age strata. Due to some of the poor dinocyst
sequences in this well, their presence is disregarded at this
time. If the occurrences are truly indigenous, perhaps a
Hauterivian age assignment for this interval would be
proper.

CONCLUSION ,S.
Palynological analysis of the UNOCAL Kookpuk No. 1 well provides the
following generalized palynostratigraphic succession:
· Tertiary nonmarine? strata extends from the top sample at 90 feet down
to 4507 feet.
Late Cretaceous strata occur from 450? feet to at least 3820 feet. The
marine palynomorphs become significant and numerous below 2000 feet.
Mid-Cretaceous strata of Albian - Cenomanian age are designated
between 3820 feet and 5720 feet.
Early Cretaceous strata are identified between 5720 feet and 6720 feet.
These strata are subdivided into intervals that range from Valanginian to
Early Albian ages. Some of the ages are qualified with a "probable"
designation.
Late Jurassic, Oxfordian age, strata are designated between 6720 feet and
7540 feet.
Undifferentiated Early- Middle Jurassic age strata occur from 7540 feet
to 8260 feet.
Triassic age strata occur from 8260 feet to 9250 feet. The nonmarine
components become dominant starting in the Triassic section.
The last age-assignable interval consists of Permian strata occurring
between 9250 feet and 9340 feet.
The bottom interval, extending from 9340 feet to the total depth of
10,192 feet, is of indeterminate age.

Kookpuk.#1 Wellsite
ADL-25576
Reference is made to all past correspondence and discussions concerning
cleanup of the subject wellsite. It is' our understanding that authority
of wellsite cleanup is now'in the jurisdiction of the Division of Oil
and Gas. In particular we understand the Division of Oil and Gas is
concerned with wellsite surface cleanup of equipment, debris and gravel
pits, if any. We presume that access roads to a wellsite on State lands
remain-in the jurisdiction of the Division 'of Lands.
We would appreciate a definitive outline of the State agencies involved
in final approval of wellsite cieanup and from which agency this approval
wil-1 come from. In the event there is a division of responsibility between
the wellsite and surrounding wellsite lease lands we would like to know
what aerial extent is considered wellsite.
The reason for these questions is the recent inquiry concerning cleanup
of our Kookpuk #1 wellsite by the Division of Oil and Gas. Our original
position has not changed inasmuch as we believed Kookpuk #1 to be properly
abandoned and the wellsite cleaned as of March 16, 1967. However, based
upon the State's inqui.ries we had Mr. Bud Helmricks make a thorough
inspection of the site. Photographs were taken of the site and surrounding
lands that disclosed definite debries and pieces of equipment related to
our drilling operation. Such photographs also disclosed debris and pieces
of equipment defJnJte!v beloneJng to seismic operations.

Since 1967 we have all seen a transition in State requirements, regulations
and procedures concerning operations and cleanup on the Slope and this
wellsite has been a victim of circumstances that existed at the time.
Naturally we readily accept responsibility of cleanup for debris and
materials related to our drilling operation. However, we do not feel
responsible for debris and materials left near the wellsite by unknown
seismic crews. In some cases this debris is located one quarter 'to one
half mile from our wellsite.
We would appreciate your review and comments on this matter, whereupon

Dear Mr. Marshall:
This is in reference to your memorandum of November 22 concerning Union
Oil Company's Kookpuk State #1.
The Department of Fish and Game requests that the following wildlife
stipulations be incorporated:
(1) Prior to drilling, the operator must construct a sump of sufficient
size to contain all waste well fluids.
(2) Prior to drilling, the operator must construct a low dike around
the drilling area to contain any spills that might occur.
(3) Upon completion or abandonment of the well the sump must be filled in.
We would like to receive from Union Oil Company a description of the road
they intend to construct to the drilling location. Of special concern are
stream crossings and precautions to avoid erosion.
Yours truly,
ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME
