It’ll be fine, they can just tow it outside the environment.

No, it’s been towed beyond the environment, it’s not “in an environment”.

If you have never been to the north slope you should stfu. The length they go to to clean anything on that tundra is insane and the actual animals in the vicinity of the camps actually benefit from people being there. North slope is one of the most regulated and has the most stringent environmental rules in the entire world.
