Short Description

The 1990 Oil and Hazardous Substance Spills Act, amended by the 1991 Oil Spill Prevention Act, requires plan holders to prepare for their worst case spill by conducting drills, pre-positioning equipment and training personnel. The statute directs the Department of Ecology (Ecology) to develop rules, which set minimum standards for facilities, and vessel contingency plans and primary response contractors in order to prepare and respond to oil spills in Washington State.
