Arctic conditions make cleaning waste a challenge

Tech. Sgt. Douglas Ward drills holes for blocks to be cut and removed during an Arctic oil spill response exercise Feb. 4, 2015, in Alaska. The removed blocks will open up a trench to deploy accumulation equipment to clean up a simulated spill. Members of the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, 611th Civil Engineer Squadron, U.S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage and Diving, and U.S. Coast Guardsmen participated in the exercise to learn Arctic spill response tactics and techniques. Ward is the 611th CES Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning Shop NCO in charge (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. John Gordinier)
