Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
This chapter establishes minimum standards for safe oil
				  transfer operations to meet a zero spill goal established by the legislature.
				  This chapter emphasizes:
(1) Using a
				scaled approach to protect people and the environment;
(2) Preventing oil spills from occurring and
				emphasizing that oil spill prevention is the top priority strategy for reaching
				the legislature's goal of zero spills;
(3) Providing improved protection of
				Washington waters and natural resources from the impacts of oil spills caused
				by operational errors, human errors, and improper oil handling equipment,
				design, and operations;
(4)
				Minimizing the size and impacts of those oil spills which do occur;
				and
(5) Facilitating coordination
				of local, state, regional, tribal, and other prevention and contingency
				plans.

				subsection (2) of this section. If prebooming is chosen, then:
(a) Prior to starting the oil transfer
				operation, the deliverer must deploy boom so that it completely surrounds the
				vessel(s) and facility/terminal dock area directly involved in the oil transfer
				operation, or the deliverer may preboom the portion of the vessel and transfer
				area which will provide for maximum containment of any oil spilled into the
				water.
(i) The deliverer must deploy the boom
				with a minimum stand-off of five feet away from the sides of a vessel, measured
				at the waterline. This stand-off may be modified for short durations needed to
				meet a facility or vessel's operational needs;
(ii) The deliverer must periodically check
				boom positioning and adjust the boom as necessary throughout the duration of
				the transfer and specifically during tidal changes and significant wind or wave
				events.
