The Washington Department of Ecology is formally proposing amendments to Chapter 173-185 WAC, Oil Movement by Rail and Pipeline Notification and opening the public comment period. This chapter establishes reporting standards for facilities that receive crude oil by rail and pipelines that transport crude oil through the state. The rule also describes reporting standards for Ecology to share information with tribes, emergency responders, local governments, and the public.
Public hearings:
There will be three public hearings on this rule proposal via webinar, due to COVID-19 public health concerns.
