Oil Spill Contingency Plan
May 9, 2025, 8 a.m. - June 9, 2025, 5 p.m. PT
We invite interested members of the public, local, and tribal governments to review and comment on significant updates to industry-written oil spill contingency plans.
The following plan is now available for public review:
Background
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-182 requires oil-handling facilities, pipelines, and vessels to have a state-approved oil spill contingency plan that ensures their ability to respond to major oil spills. These updates are required by the state’s oil spill planning regulations.
Under WAC 173-182, public notice, review, and comment periods are required for permanent significant changes to approved plans as required in WAC 173-182-142 and 173-182-620. Significant changes under review for this comment period include updates to the Navy's worst case discharge volume.
