Pipeline Pollution Resolved: Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., which operates the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, has corrected air pollution violations charged by the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA said in a letter to Alyeska.

Settlement came after Alyeska threatened to shut down the 800-mile pipeline last Thursday.
