Prior to any oil transfer, a transfer plan must be filled out and discussed between the delivering and receiving persons in charge (PICs). A facility must not begin a transfer until this plan has been discussed during the pretransfer conference described in WAC
173-180-235. The plan must include:
(1) Identification, location, and capacity of the vessel's tanks receiving or discharging oil;
(2) Level and type of liquid in all bunker or cargo oil tanks prior to the oil transfer, including those not receiving or discharging oil;
(3) Final ullage or innage, and percent of each tank to be filled;
(4) Sequence in which the tanks are to be filled; and
(5) The facility or vessel's procedures to regularly monitor tank levels and valve alignments during the transfer operation.
