Feb. 16, 2023, 5 p.m., Online webinar

We are holding three virtual public hearings on this rule proposal via webinar for Chapter 173-180 WAC and Chapter 173-184 WAC.

Webinars are an online meeting you can attend from any computer with internet access. The hearings will begin with a short presentation and question-and-answer session, followed by the opportunity to provide testimony.

Background:

This rulemaking will amend Chapter 173-180 WAC, Facility Oil Handling Standards and Chapter 173-184 WAC, Vessel Oil Transfer Advance Notice and Containment Requirements. Chapter 173-180 WAC establishes oil-spill prevention and oil-transfer requirements for regulated oil-handling facilities. Chapter 173-184 WAC establishes oil-transfer requirements for vessels delivering oil in bulk on or over waters of the state.

We write rules to implement and enforce state and federal environmental laws and rules. Ecology follows a three-phase process for rulemaking:
