The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Environmental Protection Agency are seeking public input for proposed changes to the Prince William Sound Subarea Contingency Plan for Oil and Hazardous Substance Spills and Releases.
These subarea plans supplement the statewide oil spill contingency plan, known as the “Unified Plan,” by concentrating on issues and provisions specific to Prince William Sound. The current plan for Prince William Sound can be found on the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation’s website.
The 30 day public comment period extends from May 5 to June 5, 2014. The draft proposed plans are available on the Alaska Regional Response Team’s (ARRT) public website.
Instructions to submit comments are available on the State of Alaska’s website.
