REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE
STATE OF WASHINGTON
MARINE OVERSIGHT BOARD
711 State Avenue NE, PO Box 42408
Olympia, Washington 98504-2408
January 14, 1994
TO: GOVERNOR LOWRY AND MEMBERS OF THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE
The Marine Oversight Board presents this annual report as required by RCW 90.56.450.
The Board, established by Engrossed Substitute House Bill No. 1027 in May 1991, and activated in April 1992, provides independent oversight of the activities of federal and state agencies and industry with respect to oil spill prevention and response for covered vessels and onshore and offshore facilities. The Board's fundamental goal is to make Washington's marine waters the safest in the world.
The state oil spill program involves multiple state and federal agencies, industry, international organizations, the environmental community, and the public. It has an affect on regional, national, and international relations. This complex program demands a degree of oversight that we believe is most effectively accomplished by a dedicated independent organization. The Marine Oversight Board is the only entity charged with looking at all state, federal, and industry spill related activities.
The following report summarizes the Board's activities during the past year. Should you or your staff have any questions regarding this report, or about the Board's activities, please do not hesitate to call any member or our Staff Director, Mr. Michael L. Karl, at (206) 664-9130.
Very truly yours,
RICHARD D. FORD, Chair
NAKI STEVENS
CAPTAIN JERRY ASPLAND
USCG (Ret) CHESTER RICHMOND, JR.
DR. MEGAN N. DETHIER
The Select Committee Report is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.
