   "* Section 1.  FINDINGS.  The Eighteenth Alaska State                     
Legislature finds that                                                         
		(1)  Under the criminal plea agreement between the                           
United States and Exxon Corporation and Exxon Shipping Company                 
(United States of America v. Exxon Corporation and Exxon Shipping              
Company, United States District Court, District of Alaska, case No.            
A90-015 CR.), the State of Alaska received $50,000,000 as "remedial            
and compensatory payments."  The payments received by the state                
"are to be used by the State of Alaska . . . exclusively for                   
restoration projects, within the State of Alaska, relating to the              
`Exxon Valdez' oil spill.  Restoration includes restoration,                   
replacement and enhancement of affected resources, acquisition of              
equivalent resources and services, and long-term environmental                 
monitoring and research programs directed to the prevention,                   
containment, cleanup and amelioration of oil spills."                          
		(2)  The expeditious appropriation of remedial and                           
compensatory payments for the acquisition and protection of high               
value resources and services and action on appropriations for

SB 183                                                                       
additional restoration, replacement, and enhancement activities will           
provide interim protection needed to allow the Exxon Valdez                    
Restoration Trustee Council time to develop a systematic restoration           
plan.  The appropriations made by this Act complement the process              
being established by the Exxon Valdez Restoration Trustee Council.             
		(3)  As stated by the United States Department of                            
Justice in recommending that the United States District Court accept           
the criminal plea agreement, "[t]his oil spill was a catastrophe, and          
it was also an environmental crime.  The criminal remedy should,               
likewise, in substantial part, be environmental in nature; .  .  .  The        
environment, as a victim, must be aided quickly through efforts                
funded by restitutionary payments."                                            
		(4)  The health of damaged coastal and near-shore                            
habitats is substantially related to activities on adjacent uplands.           
Economically important fish species, including herring and halibut,            
utilize near-shore areas, and anadromous species, including five               
species of salmon, rely on continued access to both clean streams              
and unpolluted estuaries for spawning and rearing.                             
		(5)  Sea otter pups are particularly dependent on                            
pristine water quality, a productive near-shore and shallow subtidal           
ecosystem, and a disturbance-free environment.                                 
		(6)  Populations of aquatic birds, including the tree-                       
nesting marbled murrelet and bald eagle and the fresh water nesting            
species such as harlequin ducks, were severely damaged by the                  
Exxon Valdez oil spill.                                                        
		(7)  Recreational, aesthetic, and subsistence services                       
provided by the prespill environment were severely damaged.                    
Residents who relied upon these services desire to have these                  
damaged services replaced through the acquisition and retention of             
comparable threatened resources.                                               
		(8)  The quality of fresh water entering the estuarine                       
environment is critical to satisfactory restoration and recovery of the        
physical and biotic environment in the region affected by the Exxon            
Valdez oil spill.                                                              
		(9)  Recovery of the coastal estuaries affected by the                       
Exxon Valdez oil spill is placed at risk by further environmental              
stress resulting from timber harvesting and other industrial activities

that involve substantial environmental disturbance.  In order to               
minimize the potential for further environmental stress and to                 
encourage and enhance the natural recovery and restoration of the              
affected region, acquisition of coastal related uplands in the affected        
region, including Prince William Sound, the Kenai Peninsula, the               
Kodiak Archipelago, and adjacent biologically related areas, is an             
important use of "remedial and compensatory payments" received by              
the state under the criminal plea agreement.                                   
		(10)  Continued citizen involvement and education                            
of residents and nonresidents are essential to the expeditious and             
effective restoration of the areas affected by the Exxon Valdez oil            
spill, and to the prevention of future oil spills and the restoration of       
public confidence in the ability of the state to protect the                   
environment.
