Purpose

The purpose of this chapter is to establish onshore and offshore facility oil spill prevention plan requirements which, when followed, will: (1) Minimize the likelihood that facility oil spills will occur; (2) Minimize the size and impacts of those facility oil spills which do occur; (3) Facilitate coordination of local, state, regional, tribal, and other prevention and contingency plans; (4) Provide improved protection of Washington waters and natural resources from the impacts of oil spills; and (5) Emphasize that oil spill prevention is the top priority strategy for protecting Washington waters and natural resources from the impacts of oil spills.
