(Philippians 4:8) Lord, Help us to only have thoughts that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy all day today, and bless us as we celebrate this week that honors You with a National Day of Prayer. Whether we are in Your house or on the stairs of this State Capitol, help us to lift up our voices in praise and adoration to You for all You have done to make this such a great, wonderful and beautiful place to live. Amen.

Without objection, it was so ordered. Messages from the Governor SB 299 Message dated and received May 4 was read, stating: Dear President Miller: Under the authority of art. II, sec. 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: SENATE BILL NO. 299 am H An Act relating to the treatment of well test flares, nonroad engines, and aggregated fuel burning equipment associated with nonroad engines under the states air quality control program; defining stationary source for purposes of the states air quality program. Every family in Alaska depends on clean air and clean water. Clean air and water are fundamental rights we cannot and will not compromise. In the past, I opposed legislation which would have reduced our water quality standards. Today I veto Senate Bill 299 because it would decrease our air quality, harming Alaskans' health and environment. Alaskans know we can have a strong economy while protecting our air, water and habitat. They expect us to "do it right." Senate Bill 299 (SB 299) directly deregulates air pollution resulting from oil and gas drilling operations. It exempts the drill rigs operating in Alaska from the requirement to prevent and control pollution. It additionally deregulates associated facilities. This includes hazardous waste incinerators, power plants, mines, asphalt 1998-05-05 Senate Journal Page 3751 SB 299 batch plants, and the Valdez oil terminal. The result will lead to significantly higher emissions of harmful air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and benzene. It would be irresponsible to allow this bill to become law and harm the health of our citizens and the quality of our environment. SB 299 would put Alaska out of compliance with the federal Clean Air Act and puts Alaska's control of our air quality control program at risk of federal takeover. Alaska currently manages air quality permits for approximately 500 facilities from Ketchikan to Kotzebue everything from electric utilities to fish processors. A federal takeover of this program would drastically affect all those operations in the form of duplicative requirements, much higher fees and less responsive regulators. This would be an unacceptable and unnecessary burden on Alaska citizens and industries. In addition to the health and environmental impacts, the consequences of this bill will hinder our pursuit of future oil and gas development. State and federal leases will be challenged based on air quality hazards. I am especially concerned that passage of this bill will harm our ability to convince the federal government to lease the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. Finally, this bill is unnecessary. Working in partnership with my Administration, Alaska industries recently signed a conceptual agreement with the Department of Environmental Conservation to design an air quality management program that protects our air, provides the needed flexibility for industry to operate efficiently, and complies with federal laws. The Alaska Chapter of the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) along with Alaska's major oil field operators endorse the agreement. Implementation of this conceptual agreement will dramatically reduce the amount of sulfur- based air emissions from drilling operations and ensure that other potentially harmful emissions are appropriately controlled. This solution would not be possible if SB 299 were to become law. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor 1998-05-05 Senate Journal Page 3752 The presence of Senator Sharp was noted.
