The purpose of this rule making is to repeal chapters 173-180A, 180B, 180C, and 180D WAC. These rules have been replaced with new rule WAC 173-180 Facility oil handling standards and therefore are no longer necessary. We are also repealing chapters 317-10 and 173-1 81. These rules have been replaced with new rules (WAC 173-182) Oil spill contingency planning and therefore are no longer necessary. These rules have been replaced with new rules. Repealing these rules will eliminate the potential for confusion.
