Oil Spill Contingency Plan

April 8, 2024 - May 8, 2024, 5 p.m.

We invite interested public, local and tribal governments to review and comment on NuStar Energy’s contingency plan updates.

Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-182 and 173-186 requires oil handling facilities, pipelines, vessels and railroads to have a state-approved oil spill contingency plan that ensures their ability to respond to major oil spills. Regulated companies are required to submit changes to Ecology and updates may require a 30-day public review of the updates (WAC 173-182-142 / WAC 173-186-430). 

Specific changes are as follows:

  • Revision of the worst-case discharge volumes at both the Tacoma and Vancouver facilities, and updated planning standard spreadsheets.
  • Plan reformatting. 

The following plan is now available for public review:

Please visit our website to see a list of approved contingency plans.
