Statewide Environmental Reports Tracking System (ERTS)

You can help protect the environment by telling us if you see a problem that is causing pollution. We respond to issues that pollute and damage land, air, and water. The sooner we know, the sooner we can take action. For life threatening emergencies, call 911.

If you see a spill, please call 1-800-OILS-911 (1-800-645-7911), Washington Emergency Management Division) immediately. This line is available 24-hours a day.

Report to the Ecology region office in the county where the problem is located:

You can report in your preferred language by calling, sending an email or in-person. Translation and interpretation services are available at no cost. If you need an interpreter, please ask for one.

Reports are reviewed during business hours, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. The region’s ERTS Coordinator will enter the information into the database and send it to the appropriate Ecology Program or another agency responsible for responding to the issue.

All information you provide is subject to public disclosure.
