ADEC seeks changes to oil handling regs

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation has proposed changes to the regulations for the prevention of pollution from oil and other hazardous substances, including the regulations for oil spill prevention and response plans. Among other things, the changes confirm that gas exploration and production facilities do not need an oil spill contingency plan and clarify a number of issues relating to the amendment, review and renewal of plans.

Comments on the changes are required by 5 p.m. on July 6.
