In addition to federal compliance, Alaska maintains its own state-specific spill response requirements administered by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). 1-Call Alaska provides comprehensive state coverage through multiple recognized contractor classifications, allowing many operators to meet both federal and state requirements through a single enrollment. 

1-Call Alaska is Registered as: 

• US Coast Guard Classified Oil Spill Response Organization 
• State of Alaska Primary Response Action Contractor (PRAC) for tank vessels and facilities 
  • Regions covered include: Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Aleutians, Bristol Bay, and Western Alaska 
  • Expansion to Northwest Arctic Region scheduled for 2027.

  • Regions covered include: Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Aleutians, Bristol Bay, and Western Alaska 
  • Expansion to the Northwest Arctic Region scheduled for 2027

As a registered PRAC and NVCC, 1-Call Alaska maintains a contractual obligation to provide personnel, equipment, and response coordination necessary to contain, control, and clean up oil spills in accordance with Alaska planning standards. We also support required exercises, drills, and contingency planning documentation, working closely with Response Plan Facilitators (RPFs) when applicable.
