Description The 2004 Legislature adopted a "zero spills" goal for the state and required Ecology to increase our role during oil transfers. In addition Ecology was mandated to develop standards for pre-booming oil transfers and oil spill prevention alternatives. In complying with this mandate we are in the process of rulemaking to develop two new rules for vessels (WAC 317-40) and facilities (WAC 173-80). The following FAQ will help identify some key areas of the new rules.
