(3) Before the
				manual's expiration date, ecology will respond with a letter approving,
				conditionally approving, or disapproving the manual.
(a) The facility may continue to conduct
				operations if the facility properly submitted the manual to ecology and ecology
				has not provided the facility with a formal response.
(b) When reviewing manuals for approval,
				ecology must consider the following:
(i) The
				ability of the manual to provide best achievable protection from damages caused
				by the discharge of oil into waters of the state;
(ii) The volume and type(s) of oil addressed
				by the manual;
(iii) The history
				and circumstances of prior spills by similar types of facilities, including
				spills reported to the state and federal government in Washington

(1) The owner or
				operator of a Class 1 facility must submit the prevention plan to ecology for
				reapproval at least 120 calendar days prior to the plan's expiration date. The
				facility may request ecology review the plan currently on file at ecology.
If the plan is not submitted within the time frame required
				  for reapproval before the expiration date, the lapse is considered
				  noncompliance and may result in the loss of plan approval.
(2) Upon receipt of the plan, ecology will
				determine whether the plan is complete. If ecology determines that the plan is
				not complete, the facility will be notified of any deficiencies.
Ecology may request additional information for the
				  plan.
(3) Once the plan is
				determined complete, ecology will make the plan available for a 30 calendar day
				public review and comment period, which will occur within ecology's 120
				calendar day review period. Ecology will accept comments on the plan no later
				than 30 calendar days after the plan has been made publicly
				available.
(4) Before the plan's
				expiration date, ecology will respond with a letter approving, conditionally
				approving, or disapproving the plan.
(a) The
				facility may continue to conduct operations if the facility properly submitted
				the plan to ecology and ecology has not provided the facility with a formal
				response.
(b) The plan must be
				approved if, in addition to meeting criteria in WAC
				173-180-630, it demonstrates that
				when implemented, it can:
(i) Provide best
				achievable protection from damages caused by the discharge of oil into the
				waters of the state;
(ii) Minimize
				the likelihood that facility oil spills will occur;
(iii) Minimize the size and impacts of those
				facility oil spills which do occur; and
(iv) Provide, to the maximum extent
				practicable, protection from oil spill risk factors identified in the risk
				analysis required by WAC
				173-180-630(13).
(c) When reviewing plans, ecology
				must, in addition to the above criteria, consider the following, at a minimum:
(i) The volume and type(s) of oil addressed
				by the plan;
(ii) The history and
				circumstances of prior spills by similar types of facilities, including spill
				reports by ecology on-scene coordinators;
(iii) Inspection reports;
(iv) The presence of hazards unique to the
				facility, such as seismic activity or production processes;
(v) The sensitivity and value of natural
				resources within the geographic area covered by the plan; and
(vi) Any pertinent local, state, tribal,
				federal agency, or public comments received on the plan.
