| Short Description |
The Spill Prevention, Preparedness and Response Program of the Washington State Department of Ecology is proposing revisions to the rules governing oil transfer operations that occur over state waters. The proposed rule changes will create standards for safe oil transfer operations as a strategy to meet a zero spill goal established by the Washington State legislature. The rules proposed in WAC 173.180 and WAC 317-40 introduce new oil transfer standards that focus on (1) preventing spills first and foremost, (2) the spread of product in the event of a spill, and (3) standardizing the response capability of the delivering facility or vessel in the event of a spill. | |
