In September 1969 the State of Alaska held a Lease Sale of Prudhoe Bay land, a record 900 million dollars was paid to the State by those winning these leases. There has been an unheralded number of engineering, ecological and permafrost studies along the pipeline route to assure safety of Alaska's wild- life and ecology Temperatures along the pipeline route vary from as much as 100° F. in summer to more than 75° F. below zero in winter.
