| Description | There could be disagreement about whether the current legal definition of oil applies to viscous liquid and diluted bitumen. Though Ecology believes the existing definition of oil does include these oils, a gap in the definition could cause confusion and hinder the state’s ability to prevent and prepare for these spills, and to maintain the equipment necessary to respond to damaging oil spills. This persistent type of oil should clearly be included in the state’s definition of “oil” to ensure Ecology can work with industry and others to prevent and respond to all oil spills. | ||||
