Significant changes to primary response contractor (PRC) applications require notification.
(1) The PRC is responsible to provide written notification to ecology and all plan holders to whom they are obligated, within twenty-four hours, of any significant change in the information reported in the approved application. The notice shall include the identification of back up resources sufficient to maintain the PRC readiness level, and the estimated date that the original equipment shall be back in full service.
(2) Changes which are considered significant include:
(a) Loss of equipment that results in being out of compliance with any planning standard of any plan holder covered by the PRC;
(b) Transfers of equipment to support spill response for out-of-region spills;
(c) If greater than ten percent of available boom, storage, recovery, dispersants, in situ burn or shoreline clean-up equipment is moved out of the home base, except for a drill or training, as depicted on the WRRL;
(d) Permanent loss of primary response contractor personnel identified to fill ICS positions for plan holders;
(e) Changes in equipment ownership if used to satisfy a plan holder planning standard; or
(f) Modification or discontinuing of any mutual aid, letter of intent, or contract agreement.
(3) Notification by email will be considered written notice.
(4) Failure to report changes could result in the loss of PRC approval.
(5) If ecology determines that PRC approval conditions found in WAC 173-182-800 are no longer met, approval may be revoked. The PRC will receive a written notice of the loss of approval and a time period to either appeal or correct the deficiency.
(6) Ecology will immediately notify plan holders of changes in the approval status of PRCs or significant changes in PRC capability.
