Delay in receiving forms

We are currently experiencing a delay with the receipt of the statewide reporting form. Thank you for your patience as we work to resolve the issue. As an alternative, please use email or call our office.

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.
