WASHINGTON STATE: LEGISLATION

• Model Toxics Control Act
  There are currently over 8100 contaminated sites in Washington State identified by the Department of Ecology. "By far, the largest number of contaminated sites are the result of leaking underground petroleum storage tanks and dispensing systems, primarily commercial gas stations and heating oil tanks".

  The Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) was passed by voters in 1988, (as Initiative I-97), as a way to implement cleanup of hazardus waste sites within washington State. This Rule is currently being revised, with some good and some bad prospects. This link takes you to the MTCA web page, with links to the Ecology Website, and WEC comments on the proposed changes.
