Resumen

This Chapter of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) concerns transport of petroleum products and financial responsibility. It declares that the legislature recognizes that oil and hazardous substance spills and other forms of incremental pollution present serious danger to the fragile marine environment of Washington state. It is the intent and purpose of this chapter to define and prescribe financial responsibility requirements for vessels that transport petroleum products as cargo or as fuel across the waters of the state of Washington and for facilities that store, handle, or transfer oil or hazardous substances in bulk on or near the navigable waters. Further, it provides for evidence of financial responsibility for vessels; evidence of financial responsibility for onshore or offshore facilities; establishing evidence of financial responsibility, documentation; and entry or operation on state waters, financial responsibility required, enforcement of federal oil pollution act.
