Description | The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) is amending Washington Administrative Code (WAC) regulatory chapter 173-182 (Oil Spill Contingency Plans) to implement Chapter 122, 2011 Laws (E2SHB 1186). The rule amendments include changes to: • Update state oil spill preparedness planning standards to incorporate best achievable protection and best available technology. • Enhance the state’s current Vessels of Opportunity (VOO) system. • Establish a volunteer coordination system. • Require joint large-scale equipment deployment drills from tank vessels. • Enhance the state-required notification process to include potential spill threats as well as actual spills. • Change contingency plan requirements for nonprofit “umbrella” organizations to allow for a planning structure that supports approval of plans with a tiered approach. • Update definitions. • Make other changes related to Ecology’s contingency plan review and approval process. |
