WAC 173-182-350
Documenting compliance with the planning
standards. The plan holder shall describe how the planning
standards found in this chapter are met.
(1) Each plan shall provide a spreadsheet on the
resources intended to meet the planning standards as described
in this chapter. This spreadsheet shall account for boom,
recovery systems, storage, and personnel by type, quantity,
home base and provider.
(2) Ecology will analyze the planning standard
spreadsheet provided to determine whether the plan holder has
access to equipment and personnel necessary to meet the
planning standards.
(3) For purposes of determining plan adequacy, plan
holders will include time for notification and mobilization of
equipment and personnel. The time needed for a resource to
move to the spill site is the sum of the notification,
mobilization, and travel times. For dedicated resources owned
by the plan holder, the mobilization planning factor to be
used by the plan holder, PRC and ecology is thirty minutes.
For all other dedicated response equipment the mobilization
planning factor is one hour. Nondedicated resources shall
have a mobilization planning factor of three hours.
(4) Equipment travel speeds shall be computed using a
speed of thirty-five miles per hour for land and five knots
for water. Ecology will use standard nautical charts and
street maps and available on-line mapping programs to
determine the length of time it will take equipment to cover a
given distance.
(5) Plan holders may request approval for alternative
notification, mobilization, and travel time by providing
documentation to justify the request, such as actual
performance during spills or unannounced drills.
(a) The request shall include date and time of
performance or test, weather/sea state conditions and
transportation information.
(b) If ecology accepts these alternative response times
then these response times will be tested in unannounced drills
to verify alternative calculations.
