WAC 374-70-050

In accordance with RCW 70A.330.040(1), only heating oil tanks in Washington state with registrations in place before July 2, 2020, and the owner associated with that registered heating oil tank were eligible for coverage under the heating oil pollution liability insurance. The heating oil pollution liability insurance policy coverage ended on June 30, 2025, with an extended reporting period of 30 days, which allowed for a claim to be made until July 30, 2025.

(1) Claims made for a nonregistered heating oil tank are not eligible for coverage under this program.

(2) Claims made for a registered heating oil tank after the extended reporting period are not eligible for coverage under this program.

(3) Claims made for an abandoned or decommissioned heating oil tank are not eligible for coverage under this program if the claim is made after the extended reporting period.

(4) Claims made by an individual who is not the individual who registered the heating oil tank are not eligible for coverage under this program. Registration of the heating oil tank in the heating oil pollution liability insurance program must be in the name of the current owner of the property where the registered heating oil tank is located.

(5) PLIA reserves the right to perform an independent investigation to verify the eligibility of a heating oil tank. All investigative costs will be the responsibility of PLIA.
