Financial Responsibility Function: To ensure that vessels and facility owner/operators have adequate financial resources to pay cleanup and damage cost arising from an oil spill. Washington’s Legislature has defined financial responsibility requirements for vessels and facilities that store, handle, or transfer oil or hazardous substances in bulk on or near the navigable waters. Washington Administrative Code 317-50 sets financial responsibility obligations for tank barges 300 gross tons or less.
