300 Dayville Road

 Wow, that pinpoints the location of the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company’s “Valdez Marine Terminal”, thank you Mr. Google! And when Alyeska was under the leadership of retired U.S. Coast Guard Vice Admiral Tom Barrett, a once honored sailor with an impeccable record of achievement, all was good until he joined Uncle Al’s dysfunctional dysentery dynasty. Under Barrett’s watch, Alyeska along with (4) other service contractors at that 300 Dayville Road location, with over 200-workers, well were fined by the “Occupational Safety & Health Administration” for 61 “SERIOUS VIOLATIONS” that could affect the health of the workers – like with asbestos and benzene releases. In the year 2019! All total these “SERIOUS VIOLATIONS”, in fines approaching ¾ of a $million$ dollars! No wonder Barrett then retired so he could hide and what a closing statement: “I am equally confident in the proud and talented TAPS people, whose dedication to safety, protecting our environment, operational excellence, reliability, efficiency and innovative work will carry TAPS operations into the next 40 years and beyond.” I am still laughing at that “dedication to safety and protecting our environment”! And where was Betsy Haines? Most likely not giving a rat’s ass about worker safety as climbing that corporate ladder is what it is all about with Alyeska. It was said time and time and time again by the experts like Bob Malone, so get over it the “Alyeska Culture” is uncurable, just ask Brigham McClown! From Nelson to Pritchard, from Hisey to Hostler, from Barrett to…nothing has changed and nothing will change.
