Documenting Compliance with the Planning Standards

WAC 173-182-350 requires that contingency plans contain a spreadsheet to describe compliance with the planning standards. Each plan holder must provide a spreadsheet on the resources intended to meet the planning standards. This spreadsheet shall account for boom, recovery systems, storage, and personnel by type, quantity, home base and provider.

Ecology recommends that each plan holder work closely with your Primary Response Contractors (PRC) to develop these spreadsheets.

How Do I Develop a Spreadsheet?

The rule outlines the methodology used to ‘calculate’ the planning standards. Ecology has developed a How-To manual that outlines that process.
