Union Pacific Railroad Oil Spill Contingency Plan Update

Ecology invites interested public, local and tribal governments to review and comment on the Union Pacific Railroad Co. Contingency Plan updates. Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 173-182 and 173-186 requires oil handling facilities, pipelines, vessels and railroads to have a state-approved oil spill contingency plan that ensures their ability to respond to major oil spills. 


Regulated companies are required to submit changes to Ecology and significant updates may require a 30-day public comment period (WAC 173-182-142 / WAC 173-186-430).

 

Specific changes are as follows:

·      Discontinuing of Union Pacific Railroad Co.’s contract with NRC Environmental Services.

·      Updated planning standards spreadsheets.
